Chapter 165

"Xiang Peng, others have surrendered! Keep charging for me!"

"Go, Xiang Peng, defeat Su Yu!"

"Victory to Xiang Peng, victory to Tiannan University!"

The students of Tiannan University all cheered for Xiang Peng.

Xiang Peng then sent out his second spirit.

"Come out, Scizor!"

Xiang Peng's second spirit was a level 47 Scizor!

Scizor's entire body was covered in crimson armor, with two pairs of translucent wings on its back.

However, due to the heavy armor covering its whole body, it could not fly like its pre-evolved form, Scyther, after evolving.

They could only be used as a boosting tool.

It could be said that Scizor had sacrificed speed to allocate its stats toward defense.

It was truly an integrated offense and defense powerhouse!

"Scizor, use Agility to rush over, then slash!"

The translucent wings on Scizor's back fluttered at high frequency.

It flew swiftly toward the Kommo-o.

At the same time, energy ignited on its two massive pincers.

Although Scizor used Agility, its speed was ultimately dragged down by its heavy shell.

Though its speed was fast, it remained clearly visible to the Kommo-o.

When Scizor flew over to slash at the Kommo-o, the Kommo-o seized the opportunity to dodge.

Immediately after, the Kommo-o struck Scizor with a Leaf Blade.

"Clang!"

The Leaf Blade struck Scizor's body.

It emitted a sound like metal striking metal.

White marks appeared on its armor.

Although the Kommo-o's attack hit.

The heavily armored Scizor suffered little damage.

This was evident even from the expressionless face of the Scizor.

"My Scizor's defensive power is extremely strong! Its shell has undergone special training; even ordinary steel cannot break it!"

Xiang Peng explained proudly.

This Scizor was his ace spirit, cultivated with great effort!

Not only was its attack power formidable, but its defense was also impressive.

It felt not a shred of fear when facing close-combat spirits!

Even the spectators witnessing this scene began speaking optimistically one after another.

"This is great; I think Xiang Peng has secured this round!"

"Exactly; once Xiang Peng wins, the situation becomes a one-on-one, which is still an even match."

"It must be admitted that Su Yu is indeed strong, but the ultimate victor will still be our Tiannan University."

"Against Scizor, the Kommo-o stands no chance at all; victory is certain this time!"

The watching students began cheering for Xiang Peng.

Meanwhile, Su Yu frowned slightly.

It was not because he found the opponent difficult to handle.

He simply found this crowd too noisy.

Therefore, Su Yu decided to turn this place into a library!

He intended to crush his opponent directly!

"Your Scizor is indeed quite good, but it still falls short of defeating me."

Su Yu spoke at this moment.

"Oh? Really? Does your Kommo-o have other hidden cards?"

Xiang Peng asked curiously.

The audience, however, unanimously expressed that Su Yu was surely bragging.

The on-site commentator also remarked.

"Contestant Su Yu actually claims Xiang Peng's Scizor falls short; does Contestant Su Yu possess some hidden technique?"

Under the gaze of countless eyes, the corner of Su Yu's mouth curved upward.

"Currently, it seems no one in the university competition has ever used this move. Then let me be the first to start!"

Having said this, Su Yu raised his hand; in its center lay a seven-colored gemstone.

At this moment, the gemstone was emitting a faint luminescence!

"This is!? A Key Stone for Mega Evolution!"

As a student of Tiannan University, Xiang Peng naturally immediately recognized what Su Yu held in his hand.

Was this not the Key Stone required for Mega Evolution, announced by the Xia Kingdom during the New Year?

However, although Mega Evolution was known, both Evolution Stones and Key Stones were far too rare.

Students like them possessed none whatsoever.

An ominous feeling rose in his heart; could it be...

"That's right, then let me bring Mega Evolution to the University League!"

Su Yu said, "Sceptile, Mega Evolve!!"

The Key Stone in Su Yu's palm emitted a dazzling light.

On Sceptile's body, a white light likewise ignited.

Under the dumbfounded gaze of everyone present.

Sceptile was enveloped in white light.

Within the white light, Sceptile's tail extended further.

When the evolution concluded, Mega Sceptile appeared on the arena floor!

Compared to before, Mega Sceptile's tail had grown a section longer, its tip red and resembling a missile.

The leaves covering its entire body became sharper, their tips turning red.

A pair of orange spheres and a pair of red spheres appeared on its back.

Its scarlet eyes fixed on the opponent, sending a chill to the bottom of one's heart!

It was as if an Asura killing god had descended!!

【Name: Mega Sceptile (Grass, Dragon)】

【Gender: ♂】

【Level: LV. 8 (Gym)】

【Ability: Lightning Rod (Draws Electric-type moves to itself; takes no damage and instead boosts Special Attack.)】

【Potential: Champion】

【IVs: HP (31), Attack (31), Special Attack (31), Defense (31), Special Defense (31), Speed (31)】

【Moves: Quick Attack, Leaf Blade... Focus Blast, Leaf Storm, Solar Beam】

【Description: It runs lightly through the jungle, using the sharp leaves growing on its arms to finish off prey.】

The moment Mega Sceptile appeared, the entire Nanfeng Gymnasium fell silent.

All the students stared wide-eyed at the Mega Sceptile in the center of the arena.

It really was Mega Evolution!!

This was their first time witnessing Mega Evolution!

Xiang Peng, facing Su Yu, felt his heart sink upon seeing Mega Sceptile.

He could sense that powerful aura emanating from Su Yu's Mega Sceptile.

"Mega Sceptile! Energy Ball!"

"Scep!" Sceptile roared loudly, its whole body igniting with green Grass-type energy.

In the blink of an eye, a green energy sphere appeared in his hand.

The Lizard King tossed the sphere into the air, then flicked his tail, instantly batting the energy ball away.

"Scizor, use Agility to dodge!"

Xiang Peng hurriedly ordered.

Scizor flapped its wings rapidly, attempting to evade the strike.

However, this energy sphere was simply too fast!

The Lizard King had struck it mid-flight, accelerating its speed even further.

Scizor had barely begun flapping its wings when it was immediately struck by the energy ball.

"Boom!"

The energy sphere slammed into Scizor, producing an explosive sound.

Amidst the smoke, a red Pokémon was instantly sent flying backward out of the haze.

Scizor had been blown away outright!

Its red armor was now completely scorched black.

Although Scizor possessed decent defensive power,

its special defense was not high.

Furthermore, after Mega Evolving, the Lizard King's base Special Attack stat had skyrocketed to 145 points!

This was higher than most other Pokémon!

Therefore, this single energy sphere inflicted considerable damage upon Scizor.

"Cha!"

Lying on the ground, Scizor pushed itself up into a sitting position with one hand.

It had not expected the opposing Mega Lizard King to hit it so quickly,

leaving it no time to react whatsoever.

"Mega Lizard King, use Dragon Pulse!"

Mega Lizard King opened its massive mouth as draconic energy surged across its body.

After Mega Evolution, it had gained the Dragon type.

It could now unleash Dragon-type moves.

Dragon Pulse formed instantly; Mega Lizard King released it immediately, launching an attack toward Scizor.

"Scizor, use Protect!"

A white shield materialized before Scizor.

Dragon Pulse crashed against the shield,

triggering a massive explosion.

The blast's aftermath sent Scizor flying once again.

"Now, Dragon Claw!"

Mega Lizard King sprinted toward Scizor at full speed.

Along its path, draconic energy swirled around its twin claws,

enveloping them completely.

"Whoosh!"

Everyone saw only a flash of light.

Mega Lizard King had already passed through Scizor.

By then, its claws had already retracted.

On Scizor behind it, two cracks suddenly appeared upon its hard armor.

With a single strike, Mega Lizard King had shattered Scizor's defense!

After taking this Dragon Claw, Scizor lost its ability to battle.

Scizor's prideful defense

had been directly defeated by Mega Lizard King!

【Mega Lizard King defeated Scizor, gaining 2400 experience points!】

"Qiu!"

Mega Lizard King turned to look at Xiang Peng, expecting him to send out his next Pokémon.

Seeing the crimson eyes of Mega Lizard King, Xiang Peng couldn't help but step backward.

Mega Lizard King exerted tremendous pressure upon him!

His ace, Scizor, had once again been easily taken down by the Lizard King.

Xiang Peng clenched his fists and threw out a Poké Ball.

A level 45 Noctowl.

"Mega Lizard King, use Magical Leaf!"

Mega Lizard King flicked its tail, sending numerous leaves flying off it.

They glowed with a crystalline light

as they shot toward Noctowl.

"Noctowl, use Swift!"

Magical Leaf was a move that never missed, so they could only clash head-on.

Xiang Peng could only hope that Noctowl would manage to block the Magical Leaf.

The Noctowl spat out countless star-shaped energies.

These stars collided with the incoming Magical Leaves.

The moment the two met, an explosion was triggered.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Peng was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, within the dust and smoke.

Countless leaves rushed out, flying toward the Noctowl.

Although both were special attacks.

The one with greater power could crush the weaker one!

Thus, the Noctowl's high-speed stars were completely obliterated by the Magical Leaves.

Seeing the approaching Magical Leaves, the Noctowl flapped its wings, trying to dodge.

Yet the Magical Leaves seemed to have eyes, slicing straight toward it.

"Hoot!!"

The Magical Leaves sliced across the Noctowl's body, carving numerous wounds into it.

"Noctowl!"

Xiang Peng shouted loudly at his Noctowl.

If this continued, they would lose again!

Realizing this, Xiang Peng prepared to stake everything on one final gamble!

"Noctowl, Sky Attack!"

Sky Attack was a major Flying-type move.

It required charging energy for one turn before launching the attack on the second.

Although powerful, its flaw was also obvious.

That being the excessively long charge-up time.

Making it very easy for a Pokémon to knock it down mid-charge.

The Noctowl flew up into the sky, beginning to accumulate energy.

Seeing the Noctowl charging its energy, Su Yu chose not to attack directly.

He wanted to silence every single student of Tiannan University completely!

"Sceptile, use Solar Blade!"

Solar Blade was a major Grass-type move, which also had requirements upon release.

That being the need to absorb sunlight for one turn.

Just like Sky Attack!
