“Next up is the final round of the Star City High School Joint Entrance Examination City Tournament! Both competitors are from Xingcheng No. 1 High School! Please welcome both contestants!”
As the commentator’s loud announcement concluded, the joint examination finals officially began, and the audience below buzzed with discussion.
“Look, this is what you call strength! The finals are both our Xingcheng No. 1 High School’s people! I don’t know what those Furong Elf Middle School students were even talking about!”
“Exactly, exactly! Why are they quiet now? Weren’t they very arrogant before?”
The audience from Furong Elf Middle School felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten Grimer. Just a few days ago, they were mocking Xingcheng No. 1 High School for being weak, but they didn’t expect to be proven wrong so quickly.
“No choice, who told our school to produce two such heaven-defying geniuses.”
“I heard Jiang Mo and Mu Qingxue are even dating. This match is going to be interesting, hehehe.”
“Oh my god, isn’t this just a massive domestic violence scene then?!”
......
“Qingxue, I didn’t expect to face you in the finals.”
“Hmph, just as I wished. Thanks to you, Kirlia has recovered very well. This time, I won’t lose to you again.”
“Come on, Pikachu and I will also give it our all!”
“Match start! Both contestants, send out your Pokémon!” the referee announced loudly.
“Go, Kirlia!”
“I choose you, Pikachu!”
Jiang Mo and Mu Qingxue simultaneously threw their Poké Balls. A white light flashed, and Pikachu and Kirlia instantly appeared on the field.
“Kirlia, let them see the results of our hard work during this time!”
Mu Qingxue made the first move, immediately commanding Kirlia to use Magical Leaf.
“Pikachu, use Agility to dodge!”
Pikachu instantly transformed into a flash of lightning upon command, dodging Kirlia’s attack.
“When it comes to speed, Pikachu has never lost! Use Quick Attack!”
Before Kirlia could react, Pikachu instantly appeared in front of it.
Seeing this, Mu Qingxue immediately said, “Double Team!”
Kirlia instantly created several illusions, causing Pikachu’s attack to miss.
The first exchange was quick, and both Trainers and Pokémon reacted very nimbly, leaving the audience stunned.
Jiang Mo immediately commanded, “Pikachu, use Thunderbolt all around you!”
Pikachu instantly understood, unleashing Thunderbolt towards all the Kirlia illusions.
Kirlia’s illusions instantly dissipated, and its true body was successfully hit by Thunderbolt, even causing its hairstyle to become disheveled and emitting a faint burnt smell.
“Kirlia!”
Kirlia instantly became angry. You yellow-skinned rodent, we usually have such a good relationship, and we agreed this match would just be for show, but you actually shocked me!
On the field, Psychic energy surged, and Kirlia gradually floated into the air.
“Kirlia, use Psybeam!” Mu Qingxue calmly commanded.
Pikachu felt the powerful energy fluctuation of Psybeam, and Jiang Mo quickly shouted, “Pikachu, use Iron Tail to prop yourself up and jump to dodge!”
Pikachu obeyed, its tail transforming into an iron whip. With a powerful push, it leaped high into the air. Psybeam grazed its feet, hitting the ground behind it and kicking up a cloud of dust and gravel.
Jiang Mo chuckled, “Qingxue, your Kirlia’s Psybeam has gotten stronger, did you secretly train it behind my back?”
Mu Qingxue rolled her eyes at him. “So you’re allowed to give Pikachu special training, but we’re not allowed to improve our strength?”
“Pikachu, after landing, use Volt Tackle and charge at Kirlia!”
Jiang Mo continued to command, his eyes firm.
Pikachu adjusted its posture in the air, its entire body enveloped in electricity, charging towards Kirlia like a golden meteor.
Mu Qingxue remained unhurried: “Kirlia, use Teleport.”
At the same time, Mu Qingxue used Super Power to secretly communicate with Kirlia, telling it to Teleport behind Pikachu.
Kirlia’s figure flickered, disappearing from its original spot, and the next moment, it appeared above Pikachu, ready to launch a new round of attack.
Jiang Mo had anticipated this and shouted loudly, “Pikachu, twist your body in mid-air and unleash Thunderbolt upwards with your tail!”
Pikachu flexibly twisted its body, its tail unleashing a powerful electric current towards Kirlia above it. Kirlia couldn't dodge in time and was hit by Thunderbolt, swaying as it fell towards the ground.
“Now, Pikachu, use Quick Attack!” Jiang Mo seized the opportunity to unleash a combo attack on Kirlia.
Pikachu quickly adjusted its posture in mid-air, then landed and immediately transformed into a flash of lightning, charging towards Kirlia.
Mu Qingxue frowned, and after a moment of thought, she shouted, “Kirlia, use Draining Kiss!”
Kirlia quickly unleashed Draining Kiss, a pink arc of energy flying towards Pikachu. Pikachu was instantly dazed by the kiss, and Kirlia also recovered a good amount of stamina from it.
Jiang Mo then shouted at Kirlia, “Kirlia, that’s not right! I’ve given you plenty of delicious food, but you’ve never kissed me. How come you kissed Pikachu first?”
Kirlia swayed in the air, seemingly a little indignant.
Who wants to kiss this yellow-skinned rodent? It actually dared to scorch my loli hairstyle, it’s simply unforgivable!
At this moment, Kirlia wanted to tear Pikachu to pieces.
Jiang Mo decisively ordered, “Pikachu, don’t give it a chance, continuously use Quick Attack!”
Pikachu rapidly flickered around Kirlia, each Quick Attack like a golden blade piercing Kirlia.
Kirlia struggled to cope, still getting hit a few times, letting out painful Growls.
Mu Qingxue’s heart ached, but she refused to give up: “Kirlia, use Magical Leaf to counterattack!”
Kirlia waved its hands, and countless Magical Leaf attacked Pikachu like sharp throwing knives.
Jiang Mo saw the unfavorable situation: “Pikachu, quickly use Iron Tail to defend!”
In the real Pokémon world, attack moves aren't necessarily just for attacking; they can also be used for defense depending on the situation.
For example, now, Pikachu quickly spun its tail, like a golden shield, deflecting the Magical Leaf.
Energy surged on the field, and light shone dazzlingly. The audience held their breath, astonished by the intense battle scene.
After Pikachu successfully blocked the Magical Leaf, Jiang Mo shouted loudly, “Pikachu, use Volt Tackle!”
Pikachu’s entire body glowed brightly, gathering immense power, and it charged towards Kirlia like a cannonball.
Mu Qingxue’s heart tightened, and she quickly commanded, “Kirlia, use Confusion to control it!”
Kirlia quickly mobilized all its Psychic power, attempting to pin Pikachu down.
Jiang Mo loudly said, “Pikachu, break through it!”
Pikachu’s ears perked up, and a look of determination flashed in its eyes as it increased its power.
“Pika Pika!”
With an angry roar, it actually broke through the Confusion and charged directly at Kirlia.
Kirlia couldn’t dodge in time and was hit head-on by Pikachu, flying backward.
Mu Qingxue anxiously shouted, “Kirlia, get up!”
Kirlia struggled to get up, but it was at the end of its rope.
Seeing this, Jiang Mo gave Pikachu a look. Pikachu understood, only releasing a weak current that wrapped around Kirlia, not causing much damage, but temporarily incapacitating Kirlia.
The referee saw this and loudly declared, “Kirlia is unable to battle! Pikachu wins! The Champion of this Joint Entrance Examination City Tournament is Jiang Mo!”
Instant, fervent applause erupted from the audience.
