A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

After discussing for a while, Xuan Cheng was about to issue a warning when the other side finally sent out a player.

"Both sides are ready! The match begins!"

Both sides simultaneously threw out Poké Balls, and Lucario and a Mawile appeared on the battlefield.

A smile returned to Lin Xiaolin's lips. He hadn't expected that after all that planning, his opponent would still choose the Big Mouth Kid. It was all within Lin Xiaolin's calculations.

"A flash of lightning!"

"Terrified!"

Lucario was the first to transform into a white light and head towards Mawile.

The trainer of Mawile seemed to have been prepared, and instead of foolishly using buffing moves, he used Scare!

Mawile's large mouth opened at the back of its head, letting out a terrified scream. Lucario, who had just rushed behind Mawile, suddenly froze.

Startled by this move, Lucario felt as if Mawile was a demon and took two steps back in fear.

Just then, Mawile's big mouth suddenly opened and bit Lucario with a Bite.

"Luca!"

Lucario let out a painful cry, the pain from the bite instantly bringing him back to his senses.

Chapter 176 College League (22)

"Lucario will pay double!!!"

Lucario's eyes glowed red, and he actually pushed Mawile's big mouth open with both hands!

Lucario was furious and grabbed the giant mouth with both hands, slamming it directly to the ground.

'boom! ’

Mawile was lifted up by Lucario and slammed into the ground, creating a large crater.

"Mouth! A surprise attack!"

The instant Mawile was slammed to the ground, its trainer's command arrived, and Mawile, who had been knocked to the ground, suddenly attacked Lucario from a difficult angle.

Shi Anyang and Lucario had no time to react and were hit by the sudden attack, staggering back several steps.

But Mawile wasn't done yet. It opened its mouth wide again and charged at Lucario. But just as it was about to bite Lucario, Lucario pushed off with its feet and jumped into the air.

Mawile's big mouth missed its target, and Lucario, in mid-air, landed a flying knee kick on Mawile.

The baby was kicked directly in the head and fell to the ground.

This time, Shi Anyang wouldn't give the other party any room to resist, and directly punched Big Mouth Kid again and again.

The baby was lying on the ground, passively defending and looking quite pathetic.

The outcome of the match was no longer in doubt. Lin Xiaolin shook his head. Mawile was already close to Lucario and was lying on the ground, unable to fight back at all.

This is what makes a fighting spirit so terrifying. Once you get close, you basically have no chance of winning. One combo after another leaves you helpless and only able to defend passively.

Unless you are very familiar with your opponent's moves and can find their weaknesses, or there is a significant difference in skill level.

The battle still lasted for more than three minutes, and Lin Xiaolin couldn't help but smack his lips. This good guy was so resistant to being beaten, and in the end, Big Mouth Baby's trainer surrendered voluntarily, otherwise the fight would have lasted who knows how long.

This isn't even Lingdu's main Pokémon, and Mawile's series of buff-stacking skills can't be unleashed either.

It was only because he encountered Shi Anyang that he was able to fight. If he had encountered anyone else, it might have been a tough battle.

Lucario wasn't seriously injured, but he wasn't lightly injured either; a huge tooth mark was still faintly imprinted on his body.

"Lingdu No.1 High School surrenders! Xingcheng No.1 High School wins this match! The score is now 2-0. It seems Lingdu is under some pressure!"

Xuan Cheng announced the result of the match directly, and Shi Anyang, who had retrieved Lucario, immediately went to the infirmary.

At this moment, Shi Yu and senior student Lan Tian also stood up and walked towards the stage.

The moment Shi Anyang left the stage, the entire audience fell into a deathly silence, as if they were wondering if they were dreaming.

"First doubles match! Third match, begin!"

After Shi Yu and Lan Tian stood on the battle stage, the two opposing players arrived as scheduled. After Xuan Cheng announced the start of the match, four Poké Balls were thrown out at the same time.

A flash of red light appeared, and the four spirits appeared on the battlefield together.

Mighty Chicken, Buzzbat, Mini Q.

There was also an elf whose entire body was made of green and gray, and who had a long chimney on his head.

Everyone was stunned. Double-shot gas and Mini Q?

That's right, this Pokémon is the Galar form of Weezing.

What's going on with this elf I've never seen before? It's not in any information.

Lin Xiaolin was suddenly dumbfounded; this scene was beyond his expectations.

Just as Shi Yu and Lan Tian were about to attack, the other side issued a command that shocked them.

"Double gas bombs! Self-destruct!!!"

White light emanated from the double-barreled gas. Lin Xiaolin stood up and was about to shout when suddenly the white light flashed, seemingly illuminating the entire battlefield.

Lin Xiaolin was forced to cover her eyes; the light was too dazzling.

The moment the light faded, a huge crater had been blasted into the arena, and the shockwaves around it had clearly been blocked by Xuan Cheng.

Mighty Chicken and Buzzbat were blasted to the edge of the arena by their self-destruction and were now on the verge of death.

Weezing lay in the deep pit, unable to fight, with only a Pokémon dressed as Pikachu standing on the edge.

When the Weezing exploded, Mini Q clearly reacted in advance and hid at the edge of the field. Although Normal-type moves have no effect on Ghost-type Pokémon, they were still a bit dazzling.

It's better to stay away, in case the dirt on the ground gets on your clothes.

Lin Xiaolin took a deep breath and stared intently at the battlefield.

Xuan Cheng was momentarily stunned, not expecting Ling Du to self-destruct right away, but he quickly recovered.

"It seems Lingdu values ​​Xingcheng highly! They've even used a trump card they've never used before. Mighty Chicken and Buzzbat are incapacitated! Lingdu wins! The score is now 2-1!"

The Mighty Chicken and Noctua were badly injured, so Shi Yu and Senior Lan Tian quickly recalled their Pokémon and headed to the infirmary.

Lin Xiaolin's face darkened. Self-destruct! He actually self-destructed right from the start! This is troublesome.

However, Lin Xiaolin took a deep breath. He had become a little arrogant after winning two games in a row. His opponents were students from the Eight Great Capitals!

Lingdu's trump card has thrown Lin Xiaolin's side into disarray.

They only had six main players to begin with, and now two of them have been removed. Even without considering tomorrow's semi-final, today's match was already quite difficult.

Lin Xiaolin clenched her fist.

"Yan Fan, Lele, conserve your energy for the tough team match."

Seeing Yan Fan and Qin Lele stand up, Lin Xiaolin spoke up.

The two nodded. This match was no longer important; the team competition was the most crucial thing now.

As the fourth match began, both sides clearly intended to conserve their strength.

The opposing team sent out Flower Therapy Ring and Pokjigu, but they only made a token attempt to test each other before surrendering.

"Lingdu No.1 High School surrenders! The winner of this battle is Xingcheng No.1 High School! The score is 3:1. It seems that Lingdu has placed all its hopes on the team competition. Xingcheng No.1 High School only sent 6 main players from the beginning. The remaining three players have not shown up. Two of the main players were seriously injured in the last game. Will the remaining three players of Xingcheng No.1 High School have any trump cards? Please wait a moment."

After saying that, Xuancheng slowly landed and began his rest period.

Lin Xiaolin and his group sat together discussing tactics.

"The other four members of the team will remain unchanged, and Wanqiao will fill the remaining spot. If I'm not mistaken, the opponent will probably send out that Marilullie in the last match to prevent any surprises. Yan Fan, you and I need to prepare to go all out if the situation looks bad."

Lin Xiaolin spoke seriously. This match was putting a lot of pressure on them. The opponent's attributes were almost a death sentence for them, and their own team was also incomplete.

Chapter 177 College League (23)

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Once the opportunity was ripe, everyone began making final preparations, especially Wanqiao, who was extremely nervous, afraid that she would affect the others during the battle.

"Relax, you'll just stay with Lele and be responsible for disrupting the opponent. Just watch Lele's commands and remember to use the illusion beam."

Lin Xiaolin patted her shoulder to comfort her.

Indeed, given that Fang Yao is not yet available, Wan Qiao is definitely the best choice between Wan Qiao and Su Han.

After all, Wanqiao's long-tailed fire fox can also cause some interference from a distance, and the confusion effect of the illusion beam is also very useful.

Su Han's scorching cat wouldn't be very effective; he might be knocked away by the opponent in just a few moves.

The audience erupted in commotion, discussing Xingcheng No. 1 High School's performance, seemingly stunned by their fierce attack.

"Damn, did you guys see that? The captain from Xingcheng is amazing! He completely crushed the captain from Lingdu!"
