Chapter 67

073: Xu Xu Junmin Battles He Sheng! Interrupted Evolution!!

"Mankey, use Revenge!"

[Revenge: Avenge fallen companions. If a companion fell in the previous turn, its power increases.]

Because his partner Ponyta had fallen earlier, Mankey was furious.

His round eyes bulged wide, looking extremely angry.

The muscles on Mankey's arms slowly swelled, and then he struck at Grovyle.

"Grovyle, dodge!"

However, although Grovyle moved quickly, Mankey still seized the opportunity to land a hit.

Grovyle instantly flew backward; after standing up, he was clearly heavily injured.

This strike inflicted considerable damage on Grovyle.

"How's that! My Mankey is very strong."

Seeing Mankey's attack prove super effective, Ye Ping on the opposite side said happily.

Seeing Grovyle injured, Su Yu asked, "Grovyle, can you still fight?"

After standing up, Grovyle looked firmly at Su Yu.

"Good, then let's continue fighting. Use Giga Drain."

Grovyle raised his hand toward Mankey, and immediately, specks of emerald energy emerged from Mankey's body.

All this green energy flowed into Grovyle's body, restoring much of his stamina.

Meanwhile, the opposing Mankey let out a pained cry.

"Mankey, don't let him recover; use Fury Swipes!"

"Man!" Mankey roared, his entire face turning red.

He pounced forward, the nails on his hands emitting a cold gleam as he slashed at Grovyle.

"Grovyle, use X-Scissor!"

[X-Scissor: Cross scythes or claws like scissors and slash the opponent apart.]

Grovyle crossed his arms, and the leaves on his wrists emitted a green, cold gleam.

Facing Mankey's claw attack, Grovyle directly slashed a cross shape.

"Gah!" "Man!"

Mankey's claw attack hit Grovyle, while at the same time, Grovyle's X-Scissor also hit Mankey.

Neither side gained any advantage.

"Continue using Scratch!"

"We'll also continue using X-Scissor!"

Both sides' attacks hit each other again.

When the exchange ended, both Pokémon lay on the ground.

"Return, Grovyle."

Su Yu recalled Grovyle into his Poké Ball.

On the opposite side, Ye Ping's expression was extremely ugly.

Because Mankey was already his ace!

He had originally planned to let Ponyta defeat Grovyle, then withdraw Ponyta, and have Mankey use Revenge to finish off Su Yu's Aron.

As for the last one, Vulpix, she was not worth fearing at all.

As a result, just a single Grovyle had knocked out two of his Pokémon in succession.

Looking at it this way, he had lost this match.

Ye Ping gritted his teeth and released his final Pokémon.

"Come out, Magnemite."

"Go, Aron!"

The opponent's final Pokémon was none other than Magnemite, which looked just like a magnet.

"Magnemite, use Supersonic!"

Magnemite floated in midair, emitting waves of sound inaudible to humans.

He intended to use this to confuse Aron.

"Aron, dig to dodge."

Aron directly dug a hole in the ground and burrowed inside, disappearing from sight.

"Magnemite, use Electro Ball at the hole!"

A golden lightning ball condensed on Magnemite's magnets.

It was then thrown directly into the hole.

"Aron, don't be afraid; use Headbutt to burst out!"

"Boom!"

The sound of the ground breaking rang out beneath Magnemite; after taking an Electro Ball, Aron charged straight at Magnemite.

Although Magnemite was in midair, there was no way to dodge the Headbutt attack.

With a boom, Magnemite was knocked flying.

"Metal Claw to finish the damage!"

While in midair, Aron struck again with Metal Claw, sending Magnemite flying.

Instantly, Magnemite lost the ability to battle.

【Lairon defeated Magnemite, gaining 120 experience points!】

"Ye Ping's three Pokémon have lost the ability to battle; the victor is Su Yu!"

After the referee announced the result, Su Yu immediately left with his Poké Balls.

Ye Ping watched Su Yu's retreating figure, a flash of reluctance passing through his eyes.

The audience in the stands, seeing Su Yu dispose of Ye Ping so decisively, were all extremely surprised.

"I thought Su Yu and Ye Ping would both have to fight until all three Pokémon were out, but I didn't expect Su Yu to use only two."

"Yeah, Ye Ping's strength is considered strong among these people; Su Yu actually finished him off so cleanly."

"Su Yu's Ice-type Vulpix hasn't even made a move yet; it surely won't be weak either."

……

At this moment, on the high platform of Tianxing Gymnasium, the university leaders were all watching the match.

After all, this was the Top 64 of Tianyun University's freshmen, and the leaders still wanted to see if there were any promising talents.

"Is that Su Yu? The one with three nine-star potential Pokémon in the Pokémon test?" Principal Gao Mao asked, looking at Su Yu.

"That's right. It's just that for some reason, two of his three Pokémon haven't appeared yet," said Liu Liu Qianghui, the Director of the Pokémon Academy.

"In other words, this kid hasn't gone all out yet?" Principal Gao Mao said with some curiosity.

Liu Liu Qianghui nodded. "It should be so."

Gao Mao stroked his beard, revealing an expression of anticipation.

"Then we'll just have to see how good Su Yu's hidden tricks really are; this kid has really whetted my appetite."

Liu Liu Qianghui smiled ingratiatingly from the side.

If Su Yu knew what the principal was thinking, he would surely cry out his innocence.

Because Su Yu had no intention of hiding his strength at all; he simply wanted to train his Grovyle and Lairon.

More importantly, his opponent was too weak, so Su Yu's Pokémon hadn't even been pushed to their limits.

……

After returning to his seat, the three people from his dormitory all gathered around.

Yu Xing put his arm around Su Yu's shoulder and exclaimed with emotion.

"Amazing, Su Yu! I didn't expect you to finish the battle so quickly."

"Exactly, we thought you were going to be dragged into a bitter fight. This Ye Ping is quite formidable; I fought him before and got crushed by him, so you've avenged me!"

"Many senior female students think you're so handsome that they're saying they want to marry you."

After breaking free, Su Yu looked at Xu Xu Junmin and asked, "Your match should be next, right? You need to do your best too."
