"Samurott, use Water Gun!"

This time, Shi Ran decided to have Samurott test the waters with a special attack move first.

"Pshh!"

Immediately, Samurott spat out a thick stream of water from its mouth.

The water stream instantly rushed toward Salamence.

"Salamence, use Steel Wing and charge!"

Upon hearing the command, Salamence immediately dove from the sky.

Its blood-red wings instantly transformed into metallic wings.

Salamence dove, charging straight at Samurott.

Just as Samurott's Water Gun was about to hit.

Salamence immediately flapped its wings, adjusting its posture.

This Water Gun was instantly dodged by Salamence.

Seeing this, Samurott quickly redirected its Water Gun.

Continuing to spray toward Salamence.

Under Samurott's assault, Salamence kept flying through the sky.

While dancing through the air, it charged forward while constantly adjusting its position.

Nimbly dodging Samurott's Water Gun.

Finally, Salamence flew right in front of Samurott, using its wings to swiftly crash into it!

"Bang!"

The flying Salamence crashed directly into Samurott.

Its metal-like wings instantly sent Samurott flying backward.

Samurott quickly adjusted its body, landing steadily on the ground.

"Good, Samurott, use Razor Shell!"

【Razor Shell: Slash the opponent with sharp shells to attack. Sometimes lowers the opponent's Defense.】

Energy immediately surged from the shell spear on Samurott's head.

It waved the spear on its head.

Like a swordsman, it attacked Salamence.

"Salamence, Thunder Claw!"

Having closed the distance with Samurott, Salamence's claws immediately flashed with electricity.

Electric-type energy constantly surged within its hands.

Facing Samurott's slash, Salamence charged directly to meet it.

"Whoosh!" "Bang!" "Hiss!!"

Samurott's Razor Shell was blocked directly by one of Salamence's claws.

Meanwhile, its other claw, filled with electric energy, struck directly onto Samurott's body.

In an instant, electric currents flashed all over Samurott's body.

Salamence's Thunder Claw electrocuted its entire body.

"Samurott, hang in there! Use Aqua Tail!"

Shi Ran shouted anxiously.

Amidst the sparks, Samurott stared at the Salamence before it, energy immediately gathering in its tail.

While enduring the electric shock, it unleashed Aqua Tail!

Its massive tail whipped up sprays of water as it swept toward Salamence.

"Salamence, fly up to dodge, then use Dragon Pulse!"

Samurott desperately lashed out at Salamence, however, Salamence chose not to meet the attack at all.

It instantly broke away from there, flying up into the air.

Samurott's Aqua Tail struck nothing but empty air.

And in the sky, Salamence's mouth instantly gathered a Dragon Pulse!

Purple energy shimmered in its mouth.

The Dragon Pulse instantly blasted toward Samurott.

Due to having suffered two attacks previously, its agility was reduced, making it difficult to dodge this strike.

"Samurott, use Protect!"

As the Dragon Pulse flew over, a white shield immediately materialized before Samurott.

The shield held firm in front of it, and the Dragon Pulse crashed against it.

"Boom!"

The Dragon Pulse hit the white shield, causing an explosion.

The white shield turned to powder, while the Dragon Pulse was blocked.

"Excellent!" Seeing this, Shi Ran was extremely happy.

However, Su Yu merely smiled slightly.

"Indeed, it is excellent. Use Hyper Beam!"

Energy once again accumulated in the Salamence's mouth; the light of this attack was brilliantly dazzling!

It was clearly far more powerful than the previous Dragon Pulse.

Seeing this, a sense of foreboding rose in Shi Ran's heart.

The Protect move had already been used just now to block the Dragon Pulse.

If used consecutively, there was a high probability of failure.

Facing this Hyper Beam from the Salamence,

if he only defended, there was a very high chance of losing!

"We can only clash head-on! Samurott, use Hydro Pump!"

Water-type energy also accumulated in the Samurott's mouth.

Its great mouth opened wide, and immediately a stream of water half a meter in diameter shot forth!

Meanwhile, from the other side, the Salamence's mouth spat out a white beam nearly one meter in diameter!

"Whoosh!"

The two attacks collided.

The Samurott's shield was crushed by the Salamence's Hyper Beam in the blink of an eye!

Immediately after, the Hyper Beam struck the Samurott directly, triggering a massive explosion!

"Boom!"

The explosion erupted upon the Samurott's body.

For a moment, the entire arena trembled.

When the light faded, within a large crater, the Samurott lay on the ground.

【Salamence defeated Samurott, gaining 4800 experience points!】

Seeing this, Shi Ran silently recalled the Samurott and then released his third spirit beast.

A level 49 Dewgong!

At this moment, Shi Ran's two main spirit beasts had all been eliminated by Su Yu.

He no longer held any hope of defeating Su Yu.

"Dewgong, Ice Beam!"

Shi Ran chose to have the Dewgong use an Ice-type skill.

For a Dragon and Flying-type Salamence, this meant quadruple damage!

As long as it hit, it would absolutely achieve a very favorable result.

Ice-blue energy accumulated in the Dewgong's mouth, and a azure-blue beam shot forth from it.

However, how could Su Yu give him such a chance?

"Salamence, use Flamethrower!"

Since you chose an Ice-type move, I will counter you with a Fire-type move!

Salamence opened its mouth and immediately spewed a curtain of fire.

The flames rushed rapidly toward the Ice Beam.

The moment the two collided.

The Ice-type Ice Beam retreated step by step under the erosion of Flamethrower.

This Ice Beam, capable of freezing opponents into blocks of ice.

Was melted into water mist the instant it touched the Flamethrower.

"Whoosh!"

The curtain of fire continuously eroded the Ice Beam.

Rapidly devouring it entirely.

The Flamethrower followed the path of the Ice Beam all the way to where the Sealeo stood.

With a swish, the Flamethrower enveloped the Sealeo.

Scorching its pure white fur until it turned several shades darker.

"Sea!"

The Sealeo let out a cry of pain within the curtain of fire.

It possessed dual attributes of Water and Ice.

Flamethrower dealt normal damage to it, without any reduction.

"Salamence, use Air Slash!!"

Salamence's wings waved frantically.

In an instant, several wind blades formed beneath its wings.

Subsequently, numerous wind blades danced forward, rushing toward the Sealeo.

"Sealeo, use Bubble Beam!"

Facing Salamence's Air Slash.

The Sealeo opened its mouth, spewing countless bubbles from within.

Under the sunlight, the bubbles shimmered with iridescent, seven-colored light.

"Bang!"

The moment the wind blades met the bubbles, they exploded in mid-air.

Furthermore, immediately after the explosion, a cloud of white smoke rose instantly into the air.

The Sealeo stared intently at the white smoke, having now lost sight of Salamence.

Within the white mist, a fluctuation appeared; then, a massive figure pierced through the mist, flying toward the Sealeo.

At this moment, energy had already ignited in Salamence's hands.

Its two claws appeared incredibly ferocious and terrifying.

Salamence moved with extreme speed, arriving before the Sealeo could even react.

Gazing at the Sealeo, it swung its dragon claws!

"Sealeo, use Protect!"

A white shield immediately appeared before the Sealeo.

Salamence's dragon claws slashed down upon it.

Instantly smashing the shield into powder.

Then, just as one might think the Sealeo would relax slightly.

Salamence's mouth immediately spat out a massive ball of fire.

The flames formed the shape of the character 'Big'!

Burning with immense ferocity.

Before the Sealeo could react.

The Blast Burn had already rushed toward it.

"Sea!"

The Blast Burn ruthlessly crushed over the Sealeo's body.

Powerful flames instantly covered it completely!

Amidst such a powerful Fire-type move, one could even smell a hint of something burning.

And after taking a direct hit from the powerful Blast Burn, the Sealeo immediately lost its ability to fight.

【Salamence defeated Sealeo, gaining 4400 experience points!】

Seeing this, Shi Ran felt no surprise.

He had already anticipated this result.

The gap in strength between him and Su Yu was simply too vast.

Therefore, he merely sent out his fourth Pokémon.

A level 49 Fearow!

Although both were Flying-type Pokémon, the imposing presence of Fearow was simply not in the same league as that of Salamence.

Whether in terms of appearance or strength, Salamence was far superior to Fearow!

"Fearow, use Wing Attack!"

"Salamence, use Steel Wing!"

The clash of the first round.

Both sides immediately chose to attack using their wings!

In this exchange, Salamence's Steel Wing gained the upper hand.

Against Salamence, Pelipper's wing attacks felt as flimsy as paper.

"Salamence, Dragon Pulse!"

After knocking Pelipper away, Salamence immediately unleashed Dragon Pulse.

This strike landed squarely on the Pelipper that Salamence had just sent flying.

The impact of Dragon Pulse slammed Pelipper straight into the ground.

"Finish it with Fire Blast!"

As Pelipper lay on the ground, Salamence gathered its final Fire Blast in midair!

Under the gaze of everyone present, Salamence's Fire Blast crashed down upon Pelipper.

From this single blow, Pelipper lost consciousness.

【Salamence defeated Pelipper, gaining 4200 experience points!】

"Contestant Shi Ran has all four Pokémon unable to battle, so the winner is Contestant Su Yu!!"

The referee announced instantly.

As soon as the referee's words fell, the entire arena erupted in enthusiastic cheers!

"Damn! A one-man sweep of four! Shi Ran's strength is no joke; he ranks in the top twenty!"

"He actually swept four opponents!? Su Yu, just how terrifying are you!?"

"Su Yu, awesome!! Sweeping four, absolutely awesome!!"

"I'm in love, I'm in love; so handsome and so strong. How do I get his contact information?"

"He actually crushed Shi Ran; Su Yu is too frightening!"

The audience was stunned by Su Yu's performance.

His previous victories, though dominant,

did not feature opponents as powerful as Shi Ran.

After all, Shi Ran was a figure capable of ranking within the top twenty of the University League.

Yet Su Yu handled such an opponent with ease.

Did this not mean that even placed among the top five, his strength would not lag behind?!

What a terrifying prospect that was!
