Chapter 246

The large yellow Beedrill beat its wings at high frequency, emitting a buzzing sound.

The stingers on its hands also flashed with cold light.

Since the first match counted as his own crushing defeat,

he therefore did not dare to underestimate Su Yu again.

So he issued his command directly.

"Beedrill, Agility! Use Poison Jab to attack her!"

Beedrill raised the stinger on its right hand and vanished from its spot in the blink of an eye.

While moving at high speed, Beedrill's figure became extremely elusive.

It was fundamentally difficult to detect with the naked eye.

At the same time, its stinger was filled with blue-purple venom; if this strike landed,

the opponent's poisoned status would afterward allow him to constantly find new opportunities.

"Gardevoir, Confusion!"

Su Yu said calmly.

For others at the same level, this Beedrill's speed was indeed very fast.

But what it faced was Su Yu's Shiny Gardevoir!

Gardevoir did not judge an opponent's position by observing with the naked eye.

Instead, it relied on its mental power spread across the arena to determine the opponent's location.

Even if Beedrill's speed was extremely fast,

as long as the mental power Gardevoir had scattered produced a fluctuation,

Gardevoir would clearly know Beedrill's position.

Coupled with Gardevoir's effortless control over psychic powers,

it could be said that in merely an instant, she could locate and capture Beedrill!

Purple light filled Gardevoir's eyes.

In an instant, the charging Beedrill suddenly froze in place.

Its right arm was just about to thrust out, yet at this moment, it could not move at all!

199: Sweeping Two, The Invincible Shiny Pokémon!

At this moment, Beedrill was surprised to discover that its body had been enveloped by a powerful psychic force.

"Gar-de!"

Seeing that she had caught Beedrill, Gardevoir revealed a smile.

"Gardevoir, use Hypnosis!"

Su Yu immediately said.

Gardevoir used her psychic power to transport Beedrill to her side.

Subsequently, her eyes stared straight at Beedrill, and ripples appeared within her purple pupils.

And the moment Beedrill saw Gardevoir,

its eyes instantly began to spin in circles.

A moment later, Beedrill tilted its head and fell into deep sleep.

"Beedrill! Pull yourself together!"

Seeing his Beedrill fall asleep, the middle-aged uncle shouted loudly.

Unfortunately, his voice could not wake his Beedrill.

"Dream Eater!"

Su Yu gave the order indifferently.

Gardevoir nodded.

At this moment, a huge dark maw seemed to appear on Gardevoir's body.

It seemed capable of swallowing everything around it entirely.

After this dark shadow appeared, it immediately spotted the sleeping Beedrill.

The black giant mouth seemed to reveal a smile, and then,

it suddenly lunged, opening its bloody maw to swallow Beedrill.

"Buzz!!"

In an instant, Beedrill woke up from its sleep.

It felt as though it had had a nightmare, in which it was swallowed directly by a terrifying monster.

Therefore, even though it had now awakened, it appeared extremely listless.

Beedrill's arms hung limp, and the light in its eyes was dim.

"Give it a final Psychic!"

Su Yu issued the final command.

"Gar-de!"

A purple shockwave erupted from Gardevoir's body.

It directly blasted the Beedrill in front of her away.

And after this strike from Gardevoir,

Beedrill tilted its head and collapsed onto the ground.

【Gardevoir defeated Beedrill, gaining 5200 experience points!】

The Beedrill was inherently an assassin with high attack but low defense.

After being hit consecutively twice by Gardevoir's moves, it naturally lost its ability to battle immediately.

"Beedrill has lost its ability to battle! The winner is contestant number 408, Su Yu!"

The referee blew the whistle and declared the match result!

Instantly, the surrounding spectator stands erupted in a frenzy.

"A crush, a complete crush! Is this the strength of Su Yu's Shiny Gardevoir?"

"It simply dealt with its opponent effortlessly! Was the opponent really that incompetent?"

"What a beautiful and powerful Shiny Gardevoir! It's simply a perfect Pokémon!"

Some spectators who had never seen Su Yu's Shiny Gardevoir exclaimed in admiration one after another.

Although they had heard of Su Yu's name before, they did not know him very well.

Their understanding of Su Yu was limited to him having gained the approval of a Legendary Pokémon.

They never expected Su Yu to also possess such a rare Pokémon as a Shiny Gardevoir.

As for some of Su Yu's old fans, they were far from calm about this either.

"Wow! Is Su Yu actually this strong!? When did his Gardevoir become so formidable!?"

"Holy crap! In just a few months, Su Yu's strength has increased again! This is too incredible, isn't it!?"

"Hiss... This rate of progress is truly terrifying. If this continues, is it really possible for Su Yu to enter the top eight!?"

The spectators watching Su Yu's match looked at each other.

All wore expressions of disbelief.

Half a year ago, Su Yu's Gardevoir had made an appearance in a tournament at that time.

Its level was just slightly above forty back then.

But now, his Gardevoir had already reached around level sixty.

Such a rate of progress was simply unheard of.

"Since Su Yu's Gardevoir has already grown to this extent, wouldn't his main Pokémon be even more powerful?"

"Exactly! It's truly unclear what Su Yu's Salamence and Blaziken look like now."

"Now there's going to be a good show! I estimate Su Yu might really achieve an extraordinary result this time!"

In the arena, Su Yu, upon hearing the referee's command...

He directly recalled Gardevoir into her Poké Ball.

When he returned to the contestant room,

the gazes of the surrounding contestants toward him shifted.

Earlier, some of them had felt they could suppress Su Yu by leveraging their advantages in experience and time.

But after Su Yu's first match, they now knew.

The Su Yu of this moment was no longer the Su Yu of before.

Over this period, his strength had once again improved.

It remained unclear whether Su Yu had obtained a new legendary beast during these past six months.

If Su Yu had gained the approval of another legendary beast, that would be truly terrifying!

Thus, the looks everyone cast upon Su Yu were filled with peculiarity.

As for Su Yu, facing everyone's gazes,

he merely smiled calmly.

Then he returned to his seat to watch the upcoming matches.

Through Su Yu's observations,

he discovered that this preliminary round of the Champion Challenge still held quite a few noteworthy opponents.

This tournament clearly featured greater intensity and higher power levels than before.

Even he, without deploying a legendary beast, might not necessarily secure the championship with certainty.

Therefore, while watching others compete, Su Yu paid extremely close attention,

comparing the strengths of these contestants.

In this preliminary round of the Champion Challenge,

the most formidable were those trainers whose Pokémon reached levels in the sixties.

Many others, however, hovered around level fifty-something.

These people belonged to the category merely experiencing the competition.

They had no hope of advancing.

As for Pokémon at the Champion level,

Su Yu had not yet seen any in just these few matches.

"Perhaps many are concealing their true strength,"

Su Yu thought to himself.

He would not be so arrogant as to believe that only he possessed a Champion-level Pokémon among those present.

These contestants had spent considerably more time raising their Pokémon than he had.

It was quite normal for them to possess many pseudo-Champion Pokémon to hide their main forces.

Just as Su Yu was observing,

the second round of matches began very quickly.

"Contestant number 408 and contestant number 642, please proceed to Arena Five for your match!"

The broadcast promptly announced Su Yu's match.

Upon hearing his number,

Su Yu stood up and headed toward Arena Five.

Seeing his opponent, Su Yu felt somewhat surprised,

because he had noticed this person during the earlier matches.

This was a formidable enemy whose Pokémon exceeded level 60.

Upon seeing Su Yu, the opponent was equally shocked.

He had also watched Su Yu's match,

so he clearly understood that Su Yu was not someone to be trifled with.

Although he considered his own strength not weak, he did not wish to encounter such a powerful opponent so early.

Doing so would cause him to lose too much information and place him in a passive position.

However, after clenching his fists, he still decided to go all out!

"Hello, my name is Liu Dong; I didn't expect my opponent in this round to be you,"

Su Yu's opponent, Liu Dong, said with a dry laugh while scratching his head.

"My name is Su Yu," Su Yu nodded and replied succinctly.

200: Shiny Hydreigon Appears!

The two nodded at each other, finished their greetings, and prepared to begin the match.

"Both contestants are ready; the match begins!"

The referee slashed his hand downward and announced.

"Come out, my darling, Exeggutor!"

"Go, Hydreigon!"

In an instant, both threw out their Poké Balls.

As red light flashed, two Pokémon immediately appeared on the battlefield.

Beside Liu Dong stood a palm-tree-like Pokémon, its three heads resembling three coconuts.

On Su Yu's side, floating in the air, was the entirely green Hydreigon, emanating an ominous aura.

Su Yu also directly began to probe the attributes of the opposing Pokémon.

【Name: Exeggutor】

【Gender: ♂】

【Level: LV. 2 (Elite)】

【Ability: Chlorophyll (Speed increases in sunny weather)】

【Potential: Elite】

【Individual Values: HP (31), Attack (28), Special Attack (31), Defense (31), Special Defense (25), Speed (26)】

【Moves: Stomp, Seed Bomb, Psychic, Wood Hammer... Mega Drain, Giga Drain, Extrasensory, Solar Beam】

【Description: Its three heads are each thinking about different things. It seems to have no interest in anything other than itself.】

Although Exeggutor looks extremely dull, its strength is actually not weak.

With a base stat total of 530 and very high Special Attack, Exeggutor can be said to be an extremely powerful Pokémon.

Unfortunately, the Exeggutor facing him this time was Hydreigon, who surpassed it in every aspect!

When it comes to Special Attack, few Pokémon can compare to Hydreigon, not to mention that Hydreigon's base stats are also superior to Exeggutor's.

Therefore, Su Yu already felt confident about the outcome of this match in his heart!

Upon seeing the opposing Hydreigon, Exeggutor was instantly shaken by its powerful aura.

Because from Hydreigon, it sensed an aura different from any opponent it had encountered before!

"Exeggutor, pull yourself together! Do not be afraid!"

Seeing this, Liu Dong hurriedly encouraged his Exeggutor.

However, at this moment, his heart was also filled with great surprise.

Because Exeggutor was his main Pokémon and had frequently challenged strong opponents in the past.

Yet it had never been afraid before.

But this time, upon encountering Su Yu's Hydreigon, it actually showed fear!

This was truly something he had not expected.

Moreover, from Hydreigon's aura, he also sensed an ominous feeling.

If his perception was correct, Su Yu's Hydreigon should have reached the Elite level!

It was much stronger than his Exeggutor!

Thinking of this result.
