Chapter 178

Relying on her advantage in the water, she easily dodged this attack as well.

Just as Milotic prepared to counterattack again, Vaporeon once more merged into the water and vanished.

As an evolution of Eevee, Vaporeon becomes almost completely invisible once it enters the water.

There was simply no way to deal with her.

For the next several attacks, Vaporeon relied on the special nature of the Water Terrain, constantly merging into the water to evade.

Then she would reappear on the other side to launch an attack.

On the high platform, Tao Yu, the principal of Nanzhe University, explained with a smile.

"The reason Xu Yao's Water Terrain is so powerful is that once her Vaporeon enters the water, opposing Pokémon cannot detect her whereabouts at all."

"In a Water Terrain, only Water-type Pokémon can contend with Vaporeon."

"Furthermore, Vaporeon possesses the Water Absorb ability, granting her immunity to Water-type attacks."

"Under these circumstances, Vaporeon can strike and immediately change locations, leaving her opponent utterly helpless."

Hearing Tao Yu's words, many people nodded in agreement.

Indeed, the situation in the arena unfolded exactly as Tao Yu had described.

A Water-type Pokémon capable of turning invisible in water was undetectable even to Milotic.

Facing such an opponent, Milotic was completely on the defensive.

Her prized Water-type moves were rendered useless.

"Could it be that Xu Yao will win this very first match?"

"Su Yu seems to have no way to restrain Vaporeon! If this continues, he is bound to lose."

"Exactly, Vaporeon's Water Absorb ability counters Milotic too severely; most of Milotic's moves have lost their effect."

The principals present began discussing among themselves.

132: Su Yu's Countermeasure! Crushing the Flower with a Ruthless Hand!

At the very center, Ye Ye Lingzhi, observing the situation in the arena, displayed a look of curiosity.

She was eager to see what method Su Yu would employ to deal with Vaporeon.

Or perhaps, Su Yu's first Pokémon was truly destined to fall at Xu Yao's hands.

In the arena, seeing Xu Yao's Vaporeon darting back and forth, Su Yu couldn't help but frown.

This Pokémon was indeed troublesome; a Water-type with the Water Absorb ability, plus the innate talent to become invisible upon entering water.

It was truly somewhat thorny.

However, it was not entirely without a countermeasure.

Since the opponent liked hiding in the water, then he would leave her nowhere to hide!

"Milotic, use Blizzard to freeze the entire arena!"

Su Yu issued the command.

Upon hearing this, Milotic nodded.

Immediately, ice-blue energy surged throughout her body.

Cold air continuously emanated from her.

The Water Terrain was a circular arena twenty meters in diameter.

In its center lay a patch of land.

The surrounding area consisted entirely of flowing water.

It could be said that the water occupied a vast area.

As long as Vaporeon dove into the water, finding her was impossible.

Since there was no way to locate her within the water,

Su Yu decided to freeze the entire arena solid!

In this way, Vaporeon's talent for merging with water would have no opportunity to be utilized.

Although Milotic was a Water-type Pokémon, she was equally proficient with Ice-type moves!

In the past, Milotic had even sought out Articuno for specialized training in her Ice-type skills.

It could be said that Su Yu's Milotic mastered Ice-type moves even better than some native Ice-type Pokémon!

As Milotic unleashed Blizzard,

In an instant, the entire Water Terrain was engulfed by ice and snow.

Fierce winds howled, and ice and snow filled the sky.

Massive sheets of ice and snow wrapped around the entire arena.

The Blizzard had no specific target; it simply howled continuously across the water's surface.

With every gust of wind that swept past, a section of the water surface froze into thick, solid ice.

In no time, more than half of the Water Terrain had transformed into an Ice Terrain!

Although Vaporeon was powerful in water, if the Water Terrain was sealed off, she would be no match for Milotic!

Of course, Vaporeon could choose to stay submerged and watch Milotic freeze the entire water surface.

Remaining underwater without emerging.

However, doing so would cause the temperature beneath the water to drop lower and lower as time passed.

Given Vaporeon's resistance, she simply could not withstand such extreme cold.

Choosing this path would only result in being trapped like a turtle in a jar, freezing unconscious alive.

Xu Yao was also aware of this situation.

A sense of foreboding arose in her heart.

Xu Yao never expected this.

Su Yu would actually be so fierce.

He directly chose to freeze the Water Terrain!

If they waited until the entire water surface froze over, she would definitely be the one to lose in the end.

Xu Yao was clearly aware of this point.

So she immediately issued an order.

"Vaporeon, use Aurora Beam!"

At that moment, Vaporeon, who had been hiding in the water, instantly leaped out from the surface.

Simultaneously, an ice-blue energy began accumulating in its mouth.

"Whoosh!" Vaporeon fired a beam of light, attacking Milotic.

"Milotic, use Ice Beam to counter it!"

Milotic's mouth similarly condensed an ice-blue ray.

This Ice Beam shot straight toward Vaporeon.

The two beams of light instantly collided.

However, whether in terms of level or Special Attack aptitude,

Milotic was far superior to Vaporeon.

Vaporeon's Aurora Beam was instantly overwhelmed and crushed by Milotic's attack.

"Vaporeon, dodge!"

Xu Yao hurriedly shouted.

Upon hearing this, Vaporeon immediately stopped releasing the Aurora Beam and leaped onto the icy surface nearby.

Milotic's Ice Beam struck the water surface right beside it.

However, Milotic did not stop at all; instead, it shifted the direction of its Ice Beam and continued attacking Vaporeon.

Seeing this, Vaporeon had no choice but to flee.

If it got hit by the Ice Beam,

it would surely suffer severe injuries.

Thus, under Milotic's relentless attacks, Vaporeon could only flee in haste.

During its escape, Xu Yao discovered with shock that

Milotic had actually taken this opportunity to completely freeze the Water Terrain, which had not been fully frozen before!
