Pikachu moved quickly around Sudowoodo, continuously attacking and overwhelming it.
Feng Lan's heart was anxious as she shouted, "Sudowoodo, use Wood Hammer!"
Sudowoodo swung its thick arms, like wielding a giant wooden club, and smashed it towards Pikachu.
"Pikachu, meet it head-on with Thunderbolt!" Jiang Mo decisively ordered.
Pikachu unleashed a powerful electric current, colliding with Sudowoodo's Wood Hammer, and for a moment, energy overflowed.
"Pikachu, use your final Iron Tail!"
Pikachu's tail condensed a powerful Steel-type energy, quickly rushing towards Sudowoodo, directly sending it flying.
Sudowoodo fell to the ground, losing its ability to battle.
The referee raised the flag high: "Sudowoodo is unable to battle, the winner is Jiang Mo!"
The audience let out gasps of surprise, not expecting Jiang Mo to be able to command Pikachu to win so easily despite the type disadvantage. They gained a new understanding of his battle prowess.
......
After Jiang Mo won the match, Lu Jiyin and Chen Jiaxing were already waiting outside the venue.
Lu Jiyin had a brilliant smile on his face and sincerely suggested, "Jiang Mo, Chen Jiaxing and I truly regret not meeting sooner. Thanks to you connecting us, I didn't miss out on a good friend. How about we all have dinner together tonight? My treat!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiaxing immediately agreed with both hands, jumping up excitedly and saying, "Great, great, that's exactly what I wanted! It's been a long time since I've had a good meal."
After speaking, he even raised an eyebrow at Jiang Mo, his eyes full of anticipation.
Lu Jiyin had been troubled by love. After he recounted his feelings for Lin Junjun to Chen Jiaxing, Chen Jiaxing gave him great guidance in this short amount of time.
Chen Jiaxing patted Lu Jiyin's shoulder and said earnestly, "How can a true man be troubled by love? Women are like clothes, brothers are like limbs. As long as you are excellent enough, what kind of woman can't you win over?"
These heartfelt words deeply moved Lu Jiyin. It was as if a light had shone into his heart, and looking at Chen Jiaxing, he suddenly felt a sense of regret for not meeting him sooner.
Just then, Mu Qingxue, who had just watched Jiang Mo's match, walked towards him. Her graceful posture and beautiful, clear face attracted many onlookers' gazes.
Jiang Mo saw Mu Qingxue, a smile appeared on his face, and he walked forward and said, "Qingxue, just finished watching the match? This is Lu Jiyin from the Lu family in Ning Province. He's treating us to dinner tonight, why don't you join us?"
Mu Qingxue nodded slightly, smiling lightly, "Okay, but will I be bothering you all?"
Lu Jiyin quickly said, "No bother, no bother."
Lu Jiyin, while no one was paying attention, quietly tugged on Jiang Mo's sleeve, pulling him aside, and whispered, "Jiang Mo, why don't you also invite Lin Junjun? I haven't seen her in a long time."
Jiang Mo looked at Lu Jiyin's expectant expression, secretly amused by this guy's infatuation with his cousin, and replied, "Alright, I'll call her later."
【Chen Jiaxing: A true man!】
【Lu Jiyin: Hehe, Lin Junjun smells so good~】
Upon arriving at the dining place, everyone gradually took their seats. The restaurant had soft lighting and an elegant atmosphere.
Everyone had ordered their dishes and were chatting cheerfully, just waiting for Lin Junjun to arrive.
A moment later, Lin Junjun pushed the door open. She wore a playful and cute outfit, and the decorations on her clothes swayed gently with her movements, full of youthful vitality, as if lighting up the entire restaurant.
As soon as she entered, Lin Junjun's eyes lit up. She immediately spotted Mu Qingxue and enthusiastically called out, "Sister-in-law Qingxue, you're here too!"
Mu Qingxue's face flushed slightly, like a ripe apple. She gave Lin Junjun a playful glare and responded with a smile, "Jun Jun, what are you shouting about? Who's your sister-in-law?"
Lin Junjun walked forward, took Mu Qingxue's hand, and began chatting animatedly, from recent gossip to new Pokémon merchandise. Their conversation was so lively, and their laughter echoed through the restaurant.
As soon as Lu Jiyin saw Lin Junjun arrive, he quickly went over, his face beaming with smiles, and his eyes full of tenderness, saying, "Jun Jun, I finally get to see you today. How have you been recently?"
Lin Junjun merely glanced at him casually and replied perfunctorily, "I'm alright."
Lu Jiyin continued, "Jun Jun, look at the menu, what else would you like to eat? Order anything you want!"
Lin Junjun replied impatiently, "Oh, anything is fine. I'll eat whatever Sister-in-law Qingxue eats. You can go away for now."
Then she continued chatting with Mu Qingxue, leaving Lu Jiyin on the side.
Lu Jiyin was not discouraged. He just stood by, like a loyal guard, occasionally interjecting a remark.
However, Lin Junjun's attention remained entirely on Mu Qingxue, which made Lu Jiyin feel incredibly helpless, but he couldn't do anything about Lin Junjun, so he could only continue to wait for an opportunity to show his devotion.
Chen Jiaxing, who witnessed all of this, was heartbroken. He secretly thought to himself: How can the dignified young master of the Lu family be played by a woman to such an extent!
Brother, how foolish!
......
The schedule for the subsequent matches was also released, and to everyone's surprise, Lu Jiyin and Mu Qingxue were arranged as opponents.
This meant that if Jiang Mo also won his next match, he would face either Lu Jiyin or Mu Qingxue in the finals.
In Jiang Mo's opinion, Mu Qingxue had a greater chance of winning, especially since Kirlia had made rapid progress after its hidden injury was healed.
In addition, Jiang Mo occasionally fed Kirlia sand scale fruit and Dragon Fruit.
These precious Berries greatly enhanced Kirlia's strength, leading to a qualitative leap in both its speed and move power. This time, Lu Jiyin was likely to lose to Mu Qingxue.
Xingcheng No. 1 High School, Battle Assessment Ground.
"Bui~"
Jiang Mo, sitting below the stage, held the little Eevee that Mu Qingxue had recently caught. Eevee comfortably curled up in Jiang Mo's arms, and Jiang Mo gently fed it snacks from time to time.
Jiang Mo now had a very good relationship with Mu Qingxue's two Pokémon. Pokémon are very simple creatures; if you treat them well, they will reciprocate.
Eevee was so moved that it was almost in tears. Ever since it had a Trainer, its bitter days of wandering were finally over.
In addition, this handsome human male often gave it extra meals. This Eevee felt that such a life was simply paradise, and its eyes were filled with dependence and affection for Jiang Mo.
The battle's outcome was as expected: Lu Jiyin's Growlithe was no match for Mu Qingxue's Kirlia.
Even if Growlithe had the "Morning Sun" ability that allowed it to recover HP, it could only be slowly worn down and defeated by Kirlia's powerful Psychic attacks.
Kirlia continuously unleashed Confusion on the field, its Psychic power like invisible blades, attacking Growlithe repeatedly.
Although Growlithe resisted stubbornly, it ultimately could not turn the tide and was worn down and defeated on the battleground.
