Chapter 247

A towering wave surged in Liu Dong's heart.

How old is Su Yu, yet he already possesses a Champion-level Pokémon!

It is simply inconceivable!

At this moment, the surrounding spectators, seeing both Pokémon, began discussing heatedly!

"A Shiny Pseudo-Legendary! It's actually a Shiny Hydreigon!"

"I didn't expect a battle between two three-headed Pokémon! This will be a great show!"

"Indeed, whether it's Hydreigon or Exeggutor, both look extremely powerful; finally, we have a clash of titans."

"I think Su Yu will win because I believe in him. Moreover, Su Yu's Pokémon is a Shiny Pseudo-Legendary!"

"Heh, I actually think Liu Dong will win. Keep in mind that Liu Dong's strength is formidable, whereas Su Yu's Hydreigon, based on known information, can only be considered average!"

Many spectators, merely watching for the spectacle, were guessing who would emerge victorious.

But those who understood the intricacies knew the outcome the moment the Pokémon appeared!

Su Yu's Hydreigon, in every aspect, completely overwhelmed the opponent's Exeggutor.

For Liu Dong to win was simply impossible! The probability was negligible.

However, even so, many still wanted to see if Liu Dong could force Su Yu to reveal some of his hidden cards.

"Exeggutor, attack first! Use Seed Bomb!"

Liu Dong knew he was at a disadvantage, so he immediately chose to strike first.

Exeggutor also rallied itself, gazing sharply at the Hydreigon before it.

Upon hearing its Trainer's command, Exeggutor immediately hurled a massive white seed from its branches.

This seed flew straight toward the Hydreigon.

"Hydreigon, block it with Flamethrower."

Su Yu also issued his order.

Energy surged across the Hydreigon's body, and its three heads instantly spat out three curtains of crimson fire.

The three fiery curtains, fierce and imposing, spiraled toward the incoming white seed.

Upon contact, the Flamethrower directly engulfed the Seed Bomb.

The Seed Bomb, which should have exploded, was instantly incinerated under the Hydreigon's fiery assault.

Not even a ripple was raised!

Not only that, but after devouring the opponent's Seed Bomb, the Hydreigon's Flamethrower continued rushing toward the Exeggutor.

Seeing this, several streams of cold sweat instantly trickled down Liu Dong's back.

He hadn't expected that merely at the start of the exchange, his Exeggutor would already be at an absolute disadvantage!

Liu Dong swallowed hard and hurriedly shouted.

"Exeggutor, block it with Protect!"

If hit by the Hydreigon's Flamethrower, under double damage, it would definitely lose half its combat capability!

Therefore, he dared not be arrogant in the slightest!

Exeggutor also hastily erected a shield in front of itself.

A milky-white barrier appeared before it, firmly shielding it behind...

The Flamethrower arrived immediately.

Bearing the brunt was the middle curtain of fire, the thickest of the three.

This curtain of fire charged straight at Exeggutor's Protect shield.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound rang out.

To Liu Dong's horror, his Exeggutor's Protect shattered instantly into pieces.

It turned into white energy and vanished into the air.

"How is this possible!"

In Liu Dong's shocked gaze.

The Flamethrower that had first destroyed Exeggutor's Protect also disappeared.

However, the subsequent two streams of Flamethrower charged directly at the undefended Exeggutor.

In an instant, Exeggutor was engulfed by the Flamethrower.

The burning Exeggutor let out a painful wail.

When the flames vanished, Exeggutor exhaled a thick plume of smoke from its mouth.

Then, before the shocked eyes of everyone, it fell straight to the ground, its eyes spinning in circles.

This single attack immediately shocked the entire arena.

"One-hit KO! It actually knocked out Exeggutor in a single strike!"

"Damn! In a match of this level, we actually get to witness a one-hit KO?"

"Hiss... Such a terrifying attack! Su Yu's Hydreigon is no longer what it used to be! This is definitely Champion-level strength!"

Compared to the spectators discussing the Hydreigon's strength, more people wore serious expressions, having noticed Su Yu's method of attack.

"Such a powerful Hydreigon! It was actually able to completely break through the opponent's Protect!"

"Exactly, who would have thought that Protect, always regarded as an invincible defense, would be almost useless against a Hydreigon!"

"If Protect fails, then facing a Hydreigon leaves one with no choice but to flee!!"

3. ...

Protect, as the core skill of Pokémon battles, can be said to be a move capable of turning the tide of victory and defeat.

This invincible defense of Protect is practically an essential move for any Pokémon.

Yet now, when used against Su Yu, Protect failed utterly to produce its miraculous effect; instead, it might well lead to a disastrous setback!

Only Hydreigon could execute Su Yu's method of countering it to perfection.

But once he employed it, everyone else found themselves utterly powerless to respond!

They had to devise their own strategies for dealing with Hydreigon should they encounter it.

At this moment, Su Yu, standing at the center of the arena, showed no trace of surprise after defeating his opponent in a single strike.

For this outcome had been entirely within his expectations.

After all, Hydreigon possessed Ace-level strength and exceptionally powerful special attacks, completely overwhelming Exeggutor.

Coupled with the double damage dealt by Fire-type moves against Grass-types, and the special attack boost previously granted to Hydreigon by Reshiram, a one-hit knockout was entirely anticipated.

Had the knockout not occurred, that would have been what surprised Su Yu.

201: Aegislash? An unbreakable shield?

Liu Dong, facing Su Yu, felt immense pressure from his Exeggutor's defeat in a single blow.

To think he had encountered an opponent of such caliber.

He truly did not know whether to consider himself fortunate or unfortunate.

Gazing at Su Yu in terror, Liu Dong retrieved his Exeggutor into its Poké Ball.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Liu Dong threw out his second Poké Ball.

"I'm counting on you, Aegislash!"

With a flash of red light, a Pokémon resembling a sword and shield materialized onto the battlefield, its body fronted by a large shield.

"So it's Aegislash, after all?"

Upon seeing this, Su Yu immediately activated his Appraise skill.
