Chapter 940

November 1, 2023.

A duel befitting the start of a new month kicked off at the Ho-Oh Arena in the center of the Imperial Capital.

After a day of fermentation, the gunpowder-filled remarks from both sides, under the arching fire of online self-media that love to watch the fun and are full of traffic, had a trend of further spreading.

It can be said that the whole network is paying attention to and discussing the final result of this "revenge battle."

Will Baodao University continue its strength and crush Jiangcheng University again?

Or will Jiangcheng University complete its revenge against Baodao University and knock them down from the clouds completely?

In the Jiangcheng University preparation area, Zhao Yun solemnly stated the starting order for the first three matches of this match: "First match 3v3 singles, Xia Xiaoguang."

"Second match 3v3 singles, Li Xiao."

"Third match team battle, Mu Yao, Su Hao, Zhao Yunlan."

"Since Su Hao has already made a declaration of victory to the outside world, we must, absolutely must, treat this battle seriously. Does anyone have any objections?"

"No!"

Everyone's response was very loud, and they were not troubled at all by Su Hao's previous remarks.

Especially the several teammates who are now seniors and about to graduate next year.

They were even very grateful for Su Hao's remarks, which vented a lot of the knots they had had since last year.

"Player from Jiangcheng University for the first match, please prepare to take the stage!"

The sound of the field staff did not dilute the fighting spirit of the Jiangcheng University crowd. Xia Xiaoguang stood up with a swish; although his steps were stiff, the determination in his eyes was as hard as steel.

Zhao Yunlan patted him on the shoulder and laughed: "It's agreed, if you dare to lose, you'll eat extra spicy snail noodles with your nose!"

"Get lost!"

In the Baodao University preparation area, head coach Yu Kun looked at the yellow-haired boy in front of him, a sharp light flashed in his shrewd eyes, and he said lightly: "I know you must be very unhappy sitting on the bench for so many matches, but now is the moment for you to show that you are qualified to return to the starting lineup. Don't let me down."

"You are right... head coach." Lin Guannan gritted his teeth, staring at the distance with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.

It was as if the person who made him sit on the bench was not this head coach Yu, but the Jiangcheng University team.

After Lin Guannan walked away with the field staff, captain Chen Yuxiang, who had been silent, asked with confusion: "Head coach, why do you want to let Lin Guannan, who has been frozen until now, take the stage?"

"Forgive me for being blunt, his state, having not participated in a single preliminary match, is not worth our trust."

Yu Kun shook his head, a calculating look appeared on his face: "You have to know how strong the catalysis of emotion is on a person's ability, and a Trainer's state will also affect the Pokémon's state."

"As a chess piece, even if it's just for a moment, it's enough to be able to burst out the light that crushes Jiangcheng University."

Chen Yuxiang suddenly realized; head coach Yu Kun is truly deep in strategy, and asked again: "Then what if Lin Guannan loses?"

"Then it can only mean that he is only at this level." Yu Kun looked at the team behind him, which was more than twice as large as Jiangcheng University, with a smile, and said with deep meaning: "Besides, even if he loses, don't you have the confidence to win in the arena match?"

Chen Yuxiang was startled, then smiled confidently: "Ah, you are right; mere Jiangcheng University cannot stop our pace of moving forward."

"After all, this is a duel between teams."

First match, Xia Xiaoguang versus Lin Guannan in 3v3 singles.

Enemies meeting are particularly jealous; both are senior players who have had a few opportunities to play with the team last year, and both sides' strength is basically on par.

Although Xia Xiaoguang has gained many benefits from the Lake Tower and his strength is slightly higher than Lin Guannan's, the battle is still extremely difficult.

The reason is very simple: Lin Guannan is a user of Bug-type Pokémon.

At the start, Xia Xiaoguang sent out the Normal+Psychic-type Pokémon Girafarig, while Lin Guannan aggressively sent out the Bug+Dark-type Pinsir, a backbone force that is extremely targeted at Psychic-type Pokémon.

Lin Guannan, whose eyes were inexplicably bloodshot, chose the

most aggressive playstyle at the start, directly letting Pinsir use First Impression to interrupt Girafarig's self-strengthening.

Obviously, Xia Xiaoguang was also holding his breath, intending to use the Baton Pass tactic to crush the opponent.

Unfortunately, in the unfavorable situation at the start, Lin Guannan, who became fiercer the more he fought, commanded Pinsir to withstand Girafarig's Hyper Beam and took the first match in a way of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred himself.

Xia Xiaoguang cursed secretly, wondering if Lin Guannan had eaten gunpowder to fight so crazily. After withdrawing Girafarig, he threw the second Poké Ball again, and his second Pokémon took the stage.

Ace, Gardevoir!

Below the stage, Zhao Yunlan, who was even more nervous than Xia Xiaoguang, eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly: "Mom Xia is on stage!"

"Shut up." Su Hao restrained him with one hand, covering his noisy mouth tightly, and stared at the field with concentration.

But in his mind, he thought about the reason why Zhao Yunlan called Gardevoir "Mom Xia."

Both Zhao Yunlan and Xia Xiaoguang have baby faces that would be mistaken for minors if they went to buy cigarettes, and because Xia Xiaoguang's face is even more tender than Zhao Yunlan's.

Every time he stands with Gardevoir, Zhao Yunlan would mock that he and Gardevoir don't look like a Trainer and Pokémon, but rather like a strong-willed mother with a child after divorce and a rebellious son.

On the field, Gardevoir, as Xia Xiaoguang's ace, although its level is still a bit short of breaking through to late-Professional, it has powerful Fairy-type moves, and there was no twist in taking down the low-stamina Pinsir with attribute suppression.

The moment Lin Guannan sent out his second Pokémon, Drapion, Xia Xiaoguang also chose to switch and sent out his third Pokémon, Ribombee.

Su Hao's eyes lit up, and he instantly thought of what Xia Xiaoguang wanted to do!

I saw Xia Xiaoguang commanding Ribombee, a Bug+Psychic composite-type Pokémon, to withstand the disadvantage and consume most of Drapion's stamina.

But Ribombee itself was also about to lose its ability to battle.

Just when everyone thought Xia Xiaoguang wouldn't win this match, he said calmly: "Revival Blessing!"

Looking at Ribombee on the field, which, even if hit by Drapion's Dark Pulse, did not forget to emit dazzling seven-colored light into the Poké Ball of Girafarig in Xia Xiaoguang's hand.

Su Hao suddenly had a vision of Digimon he had once watched.

At that time, when HolyAngemon used the Holy Resurrection Light to turn the tide of the battle, the light reflected in the television was also this dazzling.

The move "Revival Blessing" has an extremely heaven-defying effect: unconditionally restores half of the stamina of a partner who has lost the ability to battle; the disadvantage is that it can only be used once in a battle.

The revived Girafarig took away Drapion at a painful price, and with its full-body injuries, it took the full-layer Nasty Plot and Baton Passed to switch Gardevoir onto the stage.

The battle situation was decided.

At the preparation bench, Li Xiao stood up calmly and said softly: "It's my turn."

And on the Baodao University team side, Yu Kun, who had a dark face, looked at captain Chen Yuxiang and said lightly: "Fortunately, for the sake of insurance, you were reported for the second match; go and take back the victory for us."

"Okay."
