Chapter 723

In the previous semi-finals, Gardenia had tried to use Substitute to block Mega Mewtwo's fierce offensive in exchange for a chance to catch his breath.

However, his idea was seen through by Mewtwo at a glance, and finally, using its powerful and exaggerated telekinesis, it forcibly changed the trajectory of the move, instantly finishing off Metagross with a backhand strike.

Like Lucario, the appearance of this move made the opponent need to bear greater pressure in defense, and even had to choose to attack Mewtwo head-on so as not to lose so much.

But for Gengar, there is indeed a unique way to break it.

Gengar is not only a Ghost-type Pokémon, but also has the ability to easily travel back and forth in another dimension.

With this, it can completely hide its main body under the ground, so no matter what, Mewtwo's attack trajectory cannot change significantly.

In this way, Protect can easily block it.

Sabrina is indeed worthy of being Sabrina; she has a thorough understanding of Pokémon's characteristics and even developed matching tactics...

Qingyu shook his head.

But if that's all there is, it's just lingering on its last breath.

Mewtwo's offensive will not stop just because it was blocked once.

"Mewtwo, continue to use Psystrike!"

Qingyu spoke again, and Sabrina also gave instructions simultaneously.

"Gengar, Destiny Bond!"

Her voice immediately made Qingyu frown, and Mewtwo also reacted immediately; the arm that had just been raised was consciously retracted, interrupting its own attack action.

"Tsk, to think you'd play this trick."

While Qingyu shook his head helplessly, there was a bit more complexity in his eyes as he looked at Sabrina.

She is indeed worthy of being someone who came out of my broadcast room; she is really ruthless!

With Mewtwo's combat power, the power of one Psystrike would definitely be able to easily finish off Gengar in seconds, and even owe a lot of stamina.

After all, Psychic-type is very restrictive to Gengar's Poison-type.

But because of this, it was instead set up by Sabrina.

If Mewtwo attacks now, as long as Gengar can use Destiny Bond, a one-for-one situation will inevitably occur.

Reality is not a game; the influence of speed does exist, but who can say for sure... at least Qingyu and Mewtwo's judgment are highly consistent; they don't want to gamble on this risk that can be completely avoided.

Therefore, the situation became a little subtle.

Fortunately, Mewtwo's combat power is still trustworthy; if it were replaced by someone whose output couldn't directly finish off Gengar, I guess Sabrina would have started singing Perish Song...

Perish Song + Destiny Bond, plus Protect to drag out time, at worst it could still explode with my side.

How on earth did she come up with this set of tactics!

After roughly guessing Sabrina's idea, Qingyu complained silently in his heart.

However, for Mewtwo, it is still very simple to deal with Gengar's messy skills.

"Gengar, Perish Song!"

"Mewtwo, Taunt."

Sabrina's command was as expected, and Qingyu also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that even Sabrina's Future Sight ability has its limits; by now, I guess she has no idea what she is going to do next, right?

Also because she was prepared to use this tactic to deal with Mewtwo from the beginning, I also had a blessing in disguise and had a chance for a safe Taunt.

The advantage of a rich skill pool in actual combat competition was well displayed in the Master Rules.

With Mewtwo's powerful skill learning surface, no matter what Sabrina's side has in mind, he can react quickly and find a suitable solution.

Just like commanding Mew when he first started...

This kind of cheating experience is really cool!

Both sides soon collided again.

"Kage~"

After poking half of its head out of the shadow, the Mega Gengar with a slightly pointed head opened its huge mouth and began to sing a strange song that was a bit cute but chilling.

However, as soon as its singing started, its peripheral vision was involuntarily attracted by Mewtwo on the other side of the field, and it subconsciously turned its gaze.

I saw Mewtwo gently hooking its fingers, watching it with a playful gaze, seemingly as if it were provoking it.

For some reason, a nameless fire suddenly rose in Gengar's heart; its original plan had already been thrown to the back of its mind, and the singing stopped abruptly because of this.

"Sure enough, if you want to use new tactics in front of Qingyu, you still need to plan more properly."

At the commentary table, Lance suddenly spoke.

"It's not that Ms. Sabrina's decision was wrong; in fact, being able to come up with this tactic is already very genius, it's just that the opponent happens to be a guy who is more proficient in this..."

"Ms. Sabrina's layout not only failed to rely on information gaps to achieve results, but was instead immediately cracked by Qingyu."

"And no one expected that Mewtwo actually still had a Taunt hidden until now..."

The commentary ended here, and Lance shook his head helplessly.

Should I say it is worthy of being a Pokémon created by Mew's genes? The powerful learning ability was completely developed by Qingyu and turned into a terrifying monster...

However, apart from Qingyu, there probably aren't any other trainers who can let Mewtwo let down its guard in a short period of time and fully recognize him as its trainer, right?

Fortunately, I entrusted it to Qingyu back then.

When Qingyu commanded Mewtwo to use Taunt, this contest between the absolute cores of both sides had actually ended.

The reason is also very simple.

Mewtwo and Gengar's output is about the same, and they restrict each other; it can be completely said that they are licking blood on the edge of a knife.

But Sabrina doesn't know how much damage the small-sized Mewtwo Y can take...

Perhaps because it fused with excellent human genes, Mewtwo itself is a Pokémon with a very powerful physique, and even has a Mega Evolved form that specializes in power.

Therefore, even for Gengar's Shadow Ball or other moves, Qingyu has the confidence that Mewtwo can take it head-on!

Qingyu's gaze shuttled back and forth between Mewtwo and Gengar, and finally showed a smile.

Although this information gap feels a bit subtle, it is enough to determine the victory.

"Mewtwo, Psystrike!"

"Gengar... Shadow Ball!"

Sabrina hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to suppress the inner uneasiness that had been lingering since just now, and made a judgment to attack.

If she switches now, the Pokémon on the field could not possibly be Mewtwo's opponent, and Gengar would still soon face this very troublesome Mewtwo...

Therefore, she can only fight!

"It looks like this is the last move."

After the much smaller Mewtwo made its final verdict, it watched Mega Gengar, which dragged its body out of the shadow and accumulated powerful shadow energy in its mouth, and slowly raised its hands.

Just like before, the psychic creation that exceeded the speed of sound flew out instantly, and had already arrived in front of Gengar the moment it blasted out the Shadow Ball.

Only two consecutive thunder-like booms were heard, and the entire battle field was immediately covered by the smoke caused by the explosion of the moves, making it impossible to see the situation inside.

Until a few seconds passed, the terrifying explosion sound that gradually subsided finally ended.

The smoke dissipated, and Mewtwo was still standing, maintaining the posture of blocking the opponent's attack with both hands.

Although it still looked calm, but...

The dragging marks in front of it, which were several meters long and could be seen to have experienced fierce friction, were extremely eye-catching, and even some abrasions appeared on the surface of its body.

However, compared to Mewtwo, Sabrina's Gengar clearly suffered a more terrifying impact.

In the center of Sabrina's half of the field, with Gengar, who had fallen to the ground and devolved back to its original form, as the center, a hole that went deep into the surface and even far exceeded the range of the field was shocking.

"Gen, Gengar is unable to battle!!!"

Even the professional Ms. Hu Tao was clearly affected by this terrifying scene when she spoke, and stuttered a little.

With her announcement, Sabrina's second Poké Ball icon on the big screen also went out accordingly.

【No, Teacher Yu is the real numerical monster, right? Mewtwo finished off the opponent in seconds again; this is ridiculous!】

【Numerical monster? Have you forgotten the exchange between Indeedee and Espeon just now? Maybe the opponent is too weak, and Teacher Yu doesn't even have the thought of being serious, so he usually plays with tactics to tease everyone...】

【Now that you mention it, it's true; Teacher Yu has numbers when he needs numbers, and mechanisms when he needs mechanisms; muscles and brains can actually appear on one person at the same time!】

In the broadcast room, the viewers who witnessed this scene soon had a new understanding of Qingyu.

At the same time, the students of Paldea were once again crying without tears.

【Teacher Yu, stop killing; if you keep fighting like this, no one will be able to pass the Champion Road this year...】

"Phew—"

Mewtwo breathed a sigh of relief and silently put its hands behind its back.

At this very moment, it had to admit...

It seemed to have slightly underestimated the opponent; Gengar's Shadow Ball move was a bit tricky even for it.

If the power were a little greater, perhaps it wouldn't be a scar, but a bleeding wound.

However, fortunately, it did not let Qingyu down.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mewtwo."

Noticing its little movements, Qingyu immediately smiled knowingly.

"Next, leave it to Lucario."

In a 2:0 situation, the outcome was basically determined.

Therefore, he chose to let Mewtwo go back to the Poké Ball to rest for a while, and let Lucario have a chance to play.

"..."

Sabrina fell into silence again.

If the first battle just now was a gap in trainer level, then just now it was a complete crushing of experience and Pokémon strength.

The gap between myself and Teacher Yu is indeed still too big...

Perhaps because she had expected this, Sabrina did not look too discouraged.

After all, losing to Teacher Yu is not shameful in the first place.

Since it has already reached the last step, just don't think so much and enjoy it properly.

So...

"I choose you, Alakazam!"

While Sabrina threw the Poké Ball, Qingyu had already pulled the trigger.

"Then, my choice is—"

"Lucario!"
