It's perfectly reasonable for me, a fisherman, to catch a Georgios, right?

Lu Wanyun inwardly praised Qin Ming, but her command didn't falter. She quickly issued the order: "Eevee, accelerate and increase the distance between yourself and the opponent!!"

In terms of speed, Milotic's base speed stat is only 81, while Espeon's base speed stat reaches 110, plus there is a difference in their class.

Even though Milotic is close, Solari still has room to dodge.

"Eee~!!!"

Just as the nimble Espeon was about to make its move, Qin Ming's voice rang out again: "Little White, Hypnosis!!"

"Mina~!!!"

Milotic, charging forward, quickly released energy to create a hypnotic ripple. Although it couldn't hypnotize Espeon, it successfully affected Espeon's attempt to accelerate and create distance, causing it to pause.

In a real battle, every second is extremely precious!

During that brief moment when Espeon paused, Milotic, who had closed in, had already brought Espeon into its attack range.

"Xiao Bai, use the Binding Technique to control the opponent's movements!!"

Milotic used its long, serpentine tail to wrap around Espeon's body, and continued to tighten its grip.

"Eee~!!!"

As the power contracted, the weak physical defenses of Espeon caused it to cry out in pain.

"not good!!"

Lu Wanyun's expression changed drastically. She regretted that she had been greedy and given Milos the opportunity to attack. However, since she could not break free, she had no choice but to launch an attack.

"Euphoria, use Psychic!!"

"Xiaobai, use Water Stream Tail!!"

In the heat of battle, Espeon unleashed a powerful psychic wave that shook the very fabric of space, while Milotic's azure tail slammed down heavily at the same time.

boom! ! !

A loud bang echoed from the battlefield, and Qin Ming and Lü Wanyun's voices rang out again amidst the dust and smoke.

"Eevee, Focus!!"

"Little White, Water Flow Tail!!"

Boom! !

Another violent collision sent up a cloud of dust that obscured the view.

Unlike before, there were no other sounds this time.

Obviously, the results are in!

The audience members below the stage all craned their necks to see, hoping to pierce through the dust and fog to see what was happening inside.

……

……

Chapter 97, Aura Power Breaks Through Limitations, Upgrades Abilities, Qin

After the thick dust settled, everyone could see what was happening on the battlefield.

Milotic, who is always known for her beauty and gentleness, has no direct injuries on her long body, but her mental state is extremely poor. Both her physical strength and energy are on the verge of collapse.

On the other side, Lu Wanyun's Espeon was trembling with weakness in its limbs, its light purple body was covered with wounds of all sizes, and the ruby ​​on its forehead seemed to have lost its luster and become dull.

"Forehead…"

The referee seemed hesitant about the situation of the two Pokémon, as both of them had reached their maximum stamina and could no longer continue fighting.

But the two elves were incredibly determined and refused to give up.

There was a brief silence for about ten seconds.

Finally, Espeon couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground. Seeing Espeon fall, Milotic also couldn't hold on any longer, and its proud head drooped limply to the ground.

"noob!!"

Qin Ming strode forward and gently patted the exhausted elf that had collapsed: "You've worked so hard, your performance was really great, I'm so proud of you!!"

"Mina~!!!"

"Mina~!!!"

The trainer's approval is the best form of care for a Pokémon. Milotic gently lifted its long whiskers that hung down on either side of its head and stroked Qin Ming's cheek.

On the other side, Lü Wanyun gently put away Espeon.

At this moment, the referee stepped forward and waved his flag: "The first round of the match is a draw!!"

As the referee's voice rang out: "Qin Ming's command just now was brilliant! Milotic seized the opportunity to use hypnosis to temporarily freeze the opponent's mind, and then quickly closed in on the opening to fight head-on!"

"Qin Ming played a crucial role in turning a match with almost no chance of winning into a draw!"

"Let's give a round of applause and cheers to Qin Ming and Lü Wanyun, and let's look forward to the decisive round to come!!"

Applause and cheers erupted from the audience. Although the match had ended in a draw, everyone thought Lü Wanyun had a better chance of winning.

"To be fair, Qin Ming's performance just now was indeed outstanding. He grasped Lü Wanyun's psychology and launched a counterattack, directly turning the tide of the entire situation. In particular, his use of hypnosis at the end was a complete surprise."

"But even with such efforts, the best we can achieve is a draw against Lü Wanyun's Espeon."

"Yes, Lu Wanyun's strongest main battle Pokémon is her Alakazam. Alakazam, which can use Teleport, has a higher margin for error in battle. It won't be so easy for Qin Ming to win by using the same method as before!"

"That's right. On paper, Lu Wanyun's Hudi is stronger. As long as there are no mistakes, she has virtually no chance of losing."

"Especially after that round, Lü Wanyun will become more cautious, and she probably won't have the chance to use the same trick again."

"In terms of the matchup, I have more faith in Lü Wanyun."

"Yes, me too. But to be honest, it's already quite remarkable that Qin Ming, a freshman, made it all the way to the finals. He is undoubtedly the number one genius in the entire Shenzhen University!"

"Who says otherwise? Yesterday, I was talking about Qin Ming with my girlfriend whom I met online at Tsinghua University, and she thought I was making it up. She even said that it's impossible for a freshman to train a Gym Leader-level Pokémon!"

"If I hadn't seen Qin Ming standing on the final stage fighting against Lü Wanyun with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it either!!"

"..."

Even though Qin Ming and Lü Wanyun tied in the first round, no one changed their opinion.

I still believe that Lü Wanyun, who has the advantage on paper, is the better choice.

On the high platform, in the guest seats.

"Give him even the slightest chance, and he can pry open the crack and open the door!"

"Ruping, you're right!"

Lin Hongsheng exclaimed with admiration, "This young man, Qin, truly has a talent for command!"

"This time, Xiao Qin left a deeper impression on me than the last time he challenged for the Little Fire Dragon Medal. Who knows, Xiao Qin might bring us an even bigger surprise in the next round."

Xu Ruping shook his head: "Emotionally speaking, I also hope that Qin Ming can bring us a bigger surprise, but rationally speaking, I think Qin Ming's chances are not great."

"Because Lü Wanyun's next Pokémon is Alakazam, a top-tier Gym Leader, and having learned from the previous round, I believe she will be much more cautious."

Lin Hongsheng frowned slightly: "Isn't Alakazam at the peak of the dojo a bit too much?"

"It does exceed the standard."

Xu Ruping said, "Just like I said, the level of this year's selection competition is 50% higher than in previous years."

"If we use the standards of previous years, Qin Ming would have already passed the test."

"It's just a pity that this year's situation is special, and he has encountered strong opponents."

Lin Hongsheng squinted at Qin Ming on the battlefield and said with some emotion, "Ruping, I have a small suggestion."

"You said."

"Although Xiao Qin is very talented in elf breeding and command, he is still just a young man who is not yet 20 years old."

"Young people have their own little quirks."

"If you lose your fighting spirit because of one game, your performance will be greatly diminished!"

"I see!"

Xu Ruping nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.

The casual conversation between Lin Hongsheng and Xu Ruping, though without directly naming names, revealed that neither of them had high hopes for Qin Ming's upcoming match.

After all, in terms of sheer strength on paper, Qin Ming is indeed at a disadvantage!

With both Qin Ming and Lü Wanyun having composed themselves, the second round of the battle continued.

"The battle has officially begun!!"

As the referee waved his flag, Lü Wanyun threw out the Poké Ball first: "Alakazam, it's up to you!!"

After a flash of red light, an elf appeared, resembling a little old man holding spoons in both hands.
