After hearing it, I felt greatly benefited; perhaps I'll even make use of it in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is the Gym Leader? Indeed, not someone to be trifled with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students below expressed their shock one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the two Pokémon finished receiving treatment, Wang Tao looked at Su Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The principal mentioned to me that there is a very famous person at Yunhai No. 1 High School this year and asked me to look after him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must be Su Yu, then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dong had previously introduced Su Yu to Wang Tao, so he recognized him at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, you and I will have a match; let me see what kind of person deserves the principal's praise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Wang Tao issued a challenge to Su Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, all the students were startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is Su Yu going to fight Gym Leader Wang Tao? I wonder how Su Yu will respond, and how long he can last against Senior Wang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liang Liang Wenshan lasted three minutes just now; I think Torchic can hold out for five. After all, Senior Wang is truly too strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think at least ten minutes or more. In any case, Su Yu is far stronger than Liang Liang Wenshan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone began guessing how long Su Yu could last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Su Yu winning, they had never even considered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his opponent was a Gym Trainer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Liang Wenshan also snorted coldly, feeling somewhat gleeful at another's misfortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had gone up first just now, thinking he could restore his reputation, only to suffer a crushing defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Su Yu was taking the field, he would definitely be crushed by Wang Tao as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Su Yu's rising momentum would be cut short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There would likely be far fewer people in the school discussing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu naturally did not know what these people were thinking, but even if he did, he would not care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He focused more on improving his own strength and placed little value on empty fame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Wang Tao, my Torchic is also a Fire-type, but I do not intend to have him follow the field-control path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Wang Tao was not surprised. \"It is excellent that you have your own method; indeed, Torchic is not suited for the field-control path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, through battling me, you can adapt to it in advance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That way, even if you encounter a field-control specialist later, you will be able to handle them easily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu nodded. \"In that case, let us begin immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu was also somewhat eager to battle Wang Tao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was confident about this match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most crucial factor was that Vulpix's level was lower than Torchic's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, since Torchic was a Fire-type, he had nothing to fear from Vulpix's field-control style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Added to that, Torchic possessed extremely high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, Su Yu felt certain that he would be the victor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chapter 021: Su Yu Takes the Field, Securing Victory!

I thought this match would follow Senior Wang Tao's rhythm like the last one, but I never expected that once Torchic started attacking, Senior Wang Tao would fall into a disadvantage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just that Torchic's speed is a bit too fast! Haven't you noticed that Senior Wang Tao can't even use his moves?
