Chapter 267

"Finishing Move · Millennium Kill!"

What followed was an absolutely eye-searing sight!

Charmeleon raised its two claws and thrust sharply upward!

Lizardon let out a howl and leaped three feet into the air!

Chrysanthemums ruined, wounds all over the rear!

"You…"

Dong Aiguo said indignantly, "You shameless bastard — how could you even use a move like that!"

The crowd nodded in unison. Indeed, far too underhanded!

"In battle you have to use every trick in the book — there's no rule against using a finishing move like that!"

The referee remained unmoved, confirming that Bai Jing had not broken any rules!

"Charmeleon, Flamethrower!"

After one blast of searing flame, Lizardon fell down pitch-black all over, wounds upon wounds, pain upon pain!

Strike while you're down!

"Dragon Breath!"

"Dodge it quick — Shadow Clone!"

At the critical moment Lizardon still scrambled back up, once again producing several clones that rushed rapidly toward Charmeleon.

"Left side — use Cut!"

Claw met leaf-blade; Lizardon gained nothing for it and could only backflip away to retreat.

Dong Aiguo was very surprised. "You actually saw through the real body!"

"I guessed!"

"Charmeleon, use Smokescreen!"

Again with this — so annoying!

"Lizardon, watch out for a sneak attack!"

Without needing Dong Aiguo's reminder, Lizardon in the black fog swept its big tail back and forth nonstop, guarding one spot airtight!

Until the smoke cleared Charmeleon never launched a sneak attack — but the moment visibility returned, Lizardon was horrified to discover a demonic face right in front of it, so close it nearly stopped its little heart dead.

Charmeleon seized the chance, landed an uppercut that sent it flying into the air, opened its mouth and fired another Flamethrower, ending the battle!

"Lizardon is unable to battle — contestant Bai Jing and Charmeleon win!"

Dong Aiguo sighed. This match had been far too passive, fought far too frustratingly.

Another day passed!

Bai Jing's third-round opponent was named Jing Hua, from some obscure university.

Bai Jing gave a thumbs-up. "That name of yours — really powerful!"

Jing Hua said with embarrassed fury, "Stinky man — don't you dare read anything dirty into it!"

That's right — this time it was a girl!

Bai Jing teased, "What dirty reading? Where's the dirty reading? Tell me!"

The audience was delighted and egged her on: "Yeah, hurry up — tell us what's the dirty reading?"

The girl ground her teeth in fury!

"Ahem~ both contestants, please send out your spirits!"

The referee indicated that jokes and all were fun, but the match still had to go on.

The one Bai Jing sent out was Aegislash!

The girl sent out an Octillery!

Octillery

Gender: Female

Type: Water

Ability: Suction Cups

Stats: HP (C), Atk (B), Def (C), Sp. Atk (B), Sp. Def (C), Spd (D)

Potential: Elite

Strength: Elite (Peak)

Strength and all that doesn't matter — the key is this is a Rock field, and she actually sent out a Water-type!

"What were you thinking? You saw how handsome I am and wanted to let me win?"

Jing Hua said with embarrassed annoyance, "Can't I only have Water-type spirits?"

"There are plenty of Water-types that can stand on their own — why pick an octopus of all things? Unless…"

"Wang Ba, don't you dare read anything dirty again! If I don't send out Octillery, am I supposed to send out Tentacruel and Cloyster?"

"Your taste in spirits is really… quite the unique hobby!"

Two tentacle monsters and one shellfish… ahem~ at this moment not only Bai Jing, but many in the audience were reading dirty too!

"Forgive the bold question — have you seen any of my battle videos?"

"No. Who do you think you are? Why would I follow you?"

"Oh~ then never mind!"

The audience shook their heads — this Young Lady Jing Hua was done for; that was Aegislash!

"Match — begin!"

"Octillery, use Water Pulse!"

Octillery spewed out a massive jet of water, splashing toward Doublade!

This woman isn't dumb—she's planning to forcibly change Doublade's typing to Water, so it would no longer hold the advantage!

"¨〃Childish!"

"Sword Flight Art!"

The audience perked up—here it comes!

Doublade took to the air, dodging the water jet and charging straight at Octillery!

"Use Octazooka!"

Whether trainer or Pokémon, everyone's attention was fixed on Doublade in the sky—no one noticed a shadow had already crept up beside Octillery, shaping itself into a greatsword that came slashing down!

Octillery was cut down onto the ground, giving Jing Hua a tremendous shock!

"A shadow sneak—when did it set that up?"

The audience shook their heads. Lass, you ain't seen nothing yet!

Sure enough, Doublade in the sky came diving down after it, slashing furiously with one sword!

Another critical hit—Octillery nearly bought it for good!

"Dammit, that's strong!"

Bai Jing pressed his advantage!

"Sacred Sword!"

An enormous sword of energy formed on Doublade's body and came cleaving down in fury!

"Hold on, Octillery—use Ice Beam!"

But Jing Hua discovered in horror that a shadow had coiled around (Qian Hao's) Octillery, binding it so it couldn't move!

"Why is this happening?"

With a thunderous boom, the field was split clean in two, and Octillery lay in the chasm, unconscious!

"Octillery is unable to battle—Trainer Bai Jing and Doublade win!"

Jing Hua was still pressing, "Why can it use two moves at the same time? Why?"

"Because my Doublade is blessed with extraordinary talent!"

The truth was, when it was a Doublade it possessed two consciousnesses—one per blade—and after evolving into Aegislash, those two consciousnesses never merged into one; instead, one dwelled in the sword and the other in the shield.

That was also why it could switch forms at will—because the two were in constant telepathic contact.

In any case, that was how his own Doublade worked; whether others had this ability, Bai Jing had no idea!

The audience sighed that this match had ended very quickly, but it was inevitable—anyone unfamiliar with this Doublade was bound to suffer for it.
