Chapter 978

Incineroar had always been very clear that Su Hao was not an ordinary person.

After all, what ordinary person could take objects from a distance at any time, possess strength no less than a Pokémon, carry two special abilities, and know almost everything?

Even so, Incineroar had never thought that the little thoughts it had hidden in its heart and never told anyone would be discovered by Su Hao.

Su Hao's words, "You are no worse than anyone else," struck the softest part of Incineroar's heart, making its inner world churn and its nose ache.

Reconciliation with oneself does not require a world-shaking occasion, nor does it require earth-shattering events; it is merely like silent rain moisturizing things, a natural progression.

Yes, what it had been seeking had always been by its side, only subconsciously ignored by it.

Incineroar had never been as fortunate as it was at this very moment.

Fortunate that on that special day, it was chosen by Su Hao among the nine Pokémon.

"It's so good to have met you; it's so good to have been chosen by you."

The clouds in its heart were swept away, and Incineroar's heart suddenly opened up. Confusion was no longer there; there was only warmth and confidence filling its heart.

At the same time, the Fire-type Z-Crystal embedded in the Z-Ring on Su Hao's wrist, which looked like an ornament, suddenly shifted slowly within a faint halo. The black pattern of the flame transformed into a black tiger head pattern identical to Incineroar.

This point was not noticed by Su Hao, Incineroar, or any of the spectators.

Only Marshadow, in the shadows of Liao Xingchen, quietly poked its head out and looked at Su Hao's wrist with surprised eyes.

"Roar........"

Suddenly, Incineroar let out a muffled grunt and looked at its wrist.

It had been pierced by the scorpion tail that Gliscor had suddenly extended, and it was already turning a bit purple!

It was poison!

Incineroar looked at Gliscor with a fierce gaze, its throat emitting a threatening low growl.

How careless. During that moment of distraction, it almost forgot it still had an opponent to finish off, and accidentally got ambushed and injected with poison.

But that's fine. Since you've delivered yourself to my door, then take this move and leave in style!

Incineroar revealed a standard villainous smile, laughing wildly as it began to mobilize the energy within its body. The surrounding temperature began to soar, and even the ground became crimson as if it were about to melt.

Without needing words, Su Hao revealed a heartfelt, gratified smile. He could see that Incineroar seemed to have undergone some slight changes, and this change was exactly what he had been seeking.

Su Hao whispered, "Blast Burn."

Incineroar did not look back. Seemingly endless crimson flames began to surge outward from its flame belt, forming a giant fireball of flame within a few breaths that was only slightly inferior to the Fire Z-Move.

Flames leaped continuously on the surface of the giant fireball, and the crimson light illuminated the sky that had already entered darkness. The floor began to melt due to the existence of the giant fireball.

"What the....... hell?"

Having succeeded with one strike, Lin Mo didn't have time to be happy before he was shocked by Incineroar's counterattack, his fingers trembling and his gaze dull.

Is this thing really something a Professional-level Pokémon can produce?

Lin Mo felt his back beginning to be soaked with sweat, not knowing if it was from the heat or something else.

Gliscor couldn't fly, so it absolutely couldn't use flight to dodge this attack. Therefore....... only by attacking could it find a glimmer of survival.

Lin Mo resisted desperately, "Hyper....... Beam!"

Terrifying energy gathered in front of Gliscor's mouth, as if the purest power symbolizing death transformed into an extremely dazzling white light, shooting toward the giant fireball.

Incineroar's gaze was disdainful. It was no longer lost; it trusted its power immensely, so it believed its flames could win.

Flames would illuminate everything; flames would defeat all enemies standing before it!

The moment the moves collided, there was a moment of silence, followed by a gust of wind that made the energy barrier, which was already on high alert, tremble slightly. The deafening roar of the explosion arrived late.

Hyper Beam only lasted for a few breaths before it was swallowed by Blast Burn.

The scorching heat waves rolled and scattered, causing the energy barrier to begin to ripple constantly.

The energy barrier could only block the attack and the aftermath, but it could not stop the temperature inside the arena from rising suddenly.

Protected by the energy barrier, some of the closest spectators wiped sweat from their foreheads one after another, feeling as if they were drenched in sweat, and looked at the barrier with some worry.

This thing shouldn't break, right?

The inside of the arena turned into a jubilant "ocean" of flames. Even the Poison Heal ability, which could restore stamina, had its limits. Before long, Gliscor, wanting to escape the sea of fire by using the updraft, fell to the ground, unconscious.

In the Qingbei University preparation area, in the dead silence, the sound of Xing Yuandao standing up was incredibly harsh.

"Yuandao, you......."

Xing Yuandao reached out to stop the coach from continuing, his expression one of unprecedented interest and a hint of respect.

Xing Yuandao muttered, "It seems I judged wrong."

"This Incineroar is undoubtedly on the same level as its partner; they both look so difficult to deal with."

"It's just a pity that after releasing this move, its energy is not only almost bottomed out, but it also carries several wounds. With more than half of its stamina lost and a body poisoned, it is at the end of its rope."

"What a pity. If possible, I would have liked to have a match with it in its prime."

"I will accept the first victory with respect."

On the other side, Jiangcheng University preparation area.

Zhao Yunlan, who had completely turned into a cheerleader, looked puzzled: "Why doesn't Su Hao use the Viridian Force to heal Incineroar?"
