“Roar!”
Croconaw let out a deafening roar.
The muscles in its thick neck bulged, and its large mouth aimed directly at the hole in the ground.
“Whoosh!”
Turbid water instantly filled the hole.
And spread deep underground at an astonishing speed.
A chorus of gasps and inhales rose from the audience.
“Water-type moves poured into a burrow… This is like catching a turtle in a jar!”
“Ground-types are weak to Water-types. If that fills up, Sandile might be severely injured!”
Chen Luo calmly commanded.
“Sandile, change direction, Dig to the side.”
“Thunder Fang.”
Sandile shot out like a sharp sword.
Wu Kang ordered.
“Croconaw, don’t be afraid, use Bite.”
Both crocodile mouths bit at each other simultaneously.
However, Sandile’s Electric-type move was super effective against Croconaw.
Croconaw’s face showed a pained expression.
While Sandile was merely knocked back a few steps, still healthy.
“Sandile, Sandile.”
Sandile’s small expression seemed to say.
“We’re both crocodiles, why can’t you use Thunder Fang?”
If Chen Luo knew what Sandile was thinking, he would definitely be speechless.
“Big bro, you should know that Thunder Fang has no effect on you at all.”
“Sandile, Hone Claws!”
A glint flashed in Sandile’s eyes, and its claws gleamed with a metallic luster.
It sharply scraped them against the ground.
A grating sound rang out, and its claws instantly became sharper and harder.
Its Attack and Accuracy stats increased by one stage.
“Now! Rock Slide!”
Chen Luo’s command followed closely.
“Sandile!” Sandile roared, turning sharply, its claws gathering heavy Rock-type energy.
Bang!
Heavy rock energy slammed squarely into Croconaw!
Croconaw let out a pained howl, its large body staggering from the impact.
“Damn it, Croconaw, we’ll also use a stat-boosting move, Dragon Dance!” Wu Kang’s face was grim.
Croconaw endured the pain, its body beginning to dance with a sense of power, its Speed and Attack rapidly increasing!
“Want to boost your stats? Not that easy. Sandile, Sand Attack!”
Chen Luo’s eyes were like lightning, catching Croconaw’s brief opening during its stat boost.
Sandile kicked up dust, blinding Croconaw, who wanted to use a stat-boosting move after its own.
Ridiculous!
Did you, Lord Sandile, allow it?
“Roar.” Croconaw’s Dragon Dance rhythm was instantly disrupted.
A surge of nameless fury rushed to its head, making its eyes turn red, its reason drowned by anger.
It abandoned its dance, wanting only to tear apart this detestable little thing in front of it!
“Croconaw, hold on, Aqua Jet!”
Wu Kang roared.
Aqua Jet.
This priority move was simply too fast.
The dark blue figure, enveloped in raging water, slammed into the nearby Sandile as if teleporting.
At this distance, at this speed, there was no avoiding it.
“Sandile?!”
A hint of astonishment flashed in Sandile’s eyes. It only had time to cross its claws in front of its body.
Before being violently struck by the rapid water impact!
Bang!
A dull thud echoed!
Sandile’s small body was like it had been hit by a heavy hammer.
“Ugh…” Sandile fell heavily to the ground, but quickly regained its composure.
“Good!”
Wu Kang’s spirits lifted.
“Well done, Croconaw, that’s it.”
“Don’t give it a chance to breathe, Bite, strike while it’s down.”
The giant mouth, covered in Dark-type energy, opened again.
This time, it aimed for Sandile’s relatively vulnerable waist and abdomen!
The audience’s hearts clenched again.
Sandile, which had held a complete advantage just moments ago, was instantly counterattacked, severely injured, and in danger of being pursued!
“Sandile, Dig.”
Chen Luo’s command showed no panic, but rather an extreme calmness.
He knew that a direct confrontation was absolutely not an option now!
“Krokorok!”
Just as Croconaw’s sharp teeth were about to touch its body.
It plunged its claws into the ground, its body sinking downwards at an incredible speed!
Crunch!
Croconaw’s giant mouth snapped shut, but only bit into a mouthful of cold, wet mud.
“Hiding again?” Wu Kang was so angry he almost jumped up and down.
“Damn groundhog! Croconaw, keep an eye on the hole.”
“If it dares to pop out, hit it with Water Gun!”
“Now!”
A sharp glint burst from Chen Luo’s eyes, his voice decisive: “Sandile, use your strongest power, Thunder Fang!”
“Roar!”
Croconaw only felt an irresistible force coming from beneath its feet.
Its massive body was lifted upwards by this force!
“Krokorok!”
Crunch!
That was the sound of scales and flesh being torn by terrifying biting force!
“Awooo!”
Croconaw let out an unprecedented, extremely mournful shriek!
Its entire body was lifted off the ground, then fell heavily.
Its heavy eyelids slowly closed, completely losing consciousness.
The entire battle hall fell into a deathly silence.
Only Sandile’s heavy breathing and Croconaw’s unconscious groans of pain echoed.
The referee stared intently at Croconaw’s condition, and after a full three seconds, confirming it could no longer fight, he sharply waved his flag, his voice resonating loudly throughout the venue:
“Croconaw is unable to battle! The winner is Chen Luo!”
“Damn it, this guy actually defeated Wu Kang’s Croconaw.”
“Where did this Chen Luo come from? I’ve never heard of him before.”
“I don’t know, there’s no such prominent figure in Jiangcheng. He’s probably from out of town.”
In the center of the arena.
Sandile’s small eyes gleamed, astonishingly bright, filled with the pride of defeating a strong enemy and exhaustion, as it looked at its trainer.
“You worked hard, Sandile.”
Chen Luo gently recalled Sandile with a Poké Ball.
On the other side, Wu Kang’s face was ashen, and he almost roughly recalled the unconscious Croconaw into its ball.
“Second match, Class One’s Bai Ke versus Class Two’s Song Qi!”
In Class One’s area, a girl with a cool demeanor calmly stood up.
Beside her, an elegant Braixen, holding a burning twig, lightly leaped onto the battle stage.
Its opponent was a Mankey full of fighting spirit.
The battle was without suspense.
“Psyshock.”
“Fire Spin.”
A faint glow flashed in Braixen’s ruby-like eyes, and an invisible Psyshock instantly bound the charging Mankey.
Immediately after, it elegantly waved the burning twig in its hand.
A scorching, spinning Fire Spin precisely engulfed the immobilized Mankey!
Mankey struggled in vain in the flames, and soon lost its ability to battle.
“Bai Ke wins!”
The referee’s voice held a hint of admiration.
Applause erupted from the audience, but more common were the usual discussions.
“Another genius from Class One, winning too easily.”
“That Braixen is really well-trained, its Special Attack is very strong.”
“Class One, you know, a genius training camp, it’s normal.”
The next few battles seemed to confirm the saying “Class One, a genius training camp.”
“Class One’s Li Hui versus Class Three’s Wang Peng!”
Wang Peng’s Corphish waved its pincers, full of fighting spirit.
However, his opponent Li Hui sent out a Grovyle with sharp eyes and arms like sharp leaf blades.
“Leaf Blade! Continuous Attack!”
Grovyle’s figure was like the wind, its Leaf Blades flashing with a vibrant green cold light.
Transforming into a dazzling flurry of blades and shadows!
Swish!
Swish!
Speed, power, and type were all completely suppressed!
Corphish only managed to barely block twice with Bubble Beam.
Before being struck by the subsequent continuous Leaf Blade slashes, it let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground, losing its ability to battle.
“Li Hui wins!”
Wang Peng gritted his teeth, silently recalled Corphish, and walked quickly back to Class Three’s lounge area with his head down, his back filled with unwillingness.
Beginner-level battles often ended quickly.
Lacking complex varied moves and deep tactical foundations.
Victory or defeat often depended on the Pokémon’s basic stats, move power, and the trainer’s real-time reactions.
Soon, the newly released list of the top 16 scrolled across the electronic screen.
Class Three’s area.
On the list, after “Class Three,” there were only two lonely names.
Chen Luo
Zhao Mengrui
“Damn it, I hate these rich people!”
Wang Peng plopped down on the chair next to Chen Luo, saying through gritted teeth.
“These starter Pokémon are not only easy to grow, but their potential is also very high.”
“And the most infuriating thing is that these bastards have more move pools than us.”
Guo Yang also nodded in agreement.
After all, he was eliminated by a starter Pokémon.
The more they spoke, the angrier they became.
Chen Luo listened from the side, unconsciously touching his nose, feeling a bit awkward.
“These two wouldn’t hate me too, would they?”
Chen Luo muttered to himself.
After all, he was also a simple and unpretentious rich person.
