With no other option, Jack, the emergency doctor who was nearby, had to help direct Snorlax.
"Snorlax uses Ice Punch and Mega Punch!"
"Snorlax~!!" Waving its fist that flashed white light, Snorlax knocked Typhlosion back with a single punch, relieving some of the pressure on Atus. However, it's still better to let Jack handle the command.
With one powerful sword strike after another, Princess Ella forced Atus into a corner. Despite being only ten years old, she had cornered the thirty-something-year-old Atus.
"Count, surrender!" Princess Ella shouted, and with her wooden sword, she unleashed an upward strike aimed at Count Artus's testicles.
"What the hell! Your Highness! Do you know what you're doing?!" Having narrowly blocked the sword with her own, Artus immediately roared angrily.
“Uh…” Princess Ella seemed to realize that her sword strike just now was perhaps a little too insidious, and she paused for a moment.
But that brief moment of hesitation gave Artus a chance to turn the tide.
With a powerful swing of his sword, he knocked the wooden sword out of Princess Ella's hand!
Immediately, referee Lu Ming declared, "The match is over! The winner is Artus Le Cod!"
Seeing that she had lost, Princess Ella was a little sad and upset. She thought to herself that if she had known it would turn out like this, she would have given Atus another uppercut!
Perhaps sensing Princess Ella's wicked intentions, Artus shuddered for no reason and glanced at Princess Ella with some fear.
"You're just blindly attacking, forgetting that your main target is Snorlax. Do you think you don't know enough about Snorlax, or do you think Typhlosion can't beat your Snorlax?" Lu Ming asked, looking at Princess Ella's dejected face.
"A little bit of both. But the main thing is, I know that if I actually let Earl Lecord command Snorlax, I'll likely be severely suppressed!"
"A little self-awareness is wise. But you should be more confident!" (To be continued.)
Chapter 47 - Extra Match
Because Saldallo was the son of the Grand Duke, he couldn't openly watch the extra match like Sham, Lily, and Miral. Instead, he secretly took Lu Ming and Artus to the VIP box at the Southern Arena.
On the way, the three of them saw Athos Sauron also enter another box with another nobleman.
It's obvious that he's also here to watch the one-day tiebreaker!
Because of the need to consider the feelings of the top four, including Lu Ming, and those who watched the previous matches, the tiebreaker schedule was much faster than before.
The original double-elimination format was changed to a single-elimination format, and the competition started at 7:00 AM and continued until 9:00 PM. It seemed that the remaining twelve players had to be selected within one day.
Standing in the private box, looking at the contestants on the arena who were all carrying fire-type magical beasts and a few using water-type magical beasts, Lu Ming smiled helplessly and said to Atus and Saldallo, "Looks like Atus and I are being targeted!"
"Yeah! Fire-type is perfect against your Vileplume, and it's not afraid of my Typhoon either. These guys are really targeting the two of us!"
"They don't understand Ella's Snorlax, nor do they know how to fight with a Dragapult, so they can only target the two of us. However, those who target us are very likely to be eliminated by those who target them!"
"For example, your daughter?"
"Amelia? Perhaps. But my dear daughter isn't targeting anyone!"
"Uh..." Zaldalo and Artus thought to Amelia, whose first Pokémon was a Water-type Pokémon like Wobbul, and who evolved Wobbul into Quagsire on the same day, "Your luck is just too good!"
At that moment, Amelia and Swamp King went up on stage to prepare for the first round of the match.
"Now emerging from the blue team's tunnel is Amelia Lu, the Sword-Bite Wolf! She is the second daughter of Baron Lu Ming, one of the top four finalists, and her monster is the water-type Swamp King! As the daughter of a powerful figure, what kind of match will she bring us? Let's wait and see!!"
The host shouted as Amelia walked out, introducing her to the audience. Amelia's opponent was clearly taken aback by the fact that Amelia was Lu Ming's daughter.
What kind of 25-year-old baron has a 10-year-old eldest daughter and a 20-year-old second daughter? That's like cheating!
However, as Lu Ming's daughter, Amelia's strength couldn't be lacking. After all, Kanina was only eliminated from the top four because she couldn't defeat Asos, that bastard with a wyvern. Otherwise, Lu Ming and Kanina would have taken both spots in the top four!
"Now that both players are ready, the match begins!"
As the host announced the start of the match, the opponent, under pressure, immediately seized the initiative by using a giant eagle as a partner.
"Lei Yu! Use Lightning Berserk!"
Instantly, lightning crackled across the giant eagle's body, and then it unleashed a bolt of lightning at the Swamp King!
"Boom!!" A bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl struck the Swamp King, kicking up a large amount of black smoke.
But when the black smoke dissipated, the audience saw that Swamp King was still standing there unharmed, and even tilted his head, indicating that he didn't know what the other side had just done, and they immediately went wild!
"Struck by lightning, the Swamp King is unharmed! How did this happen!?"
"Did the Swamp King use a protective shield?" Saldallo, who was just as clueless as the audience about what had happened, asked Lu Ming and Artus beside him.
"The Swamp King is a Water/Ground type. Ground types have some immunity to Thunder, so the Thunderhawk's lightning attack had no effect whatsoever," Lu Ming explained to Saldal with a slight smile.
"What?! Immune to lightning!! That's too much!" Saldallo was shocked when he learned the truth.
In his view, Swamp King was already incredibly powerful, and with Lu Ming's strange skill combination notes, it could unleash almost countless tactical variations. Now, it's even immune to lightning! Does that mean no one else can compete?
"Don't think that Water and Ground types are very powerful. In fact, they are four times weak to Grass types!" Seeing what Saldallo was thinking, Lu Ming immediately added.
"Even so, didn't you still beat Amelia to a pulp with Swamp King yesterday?"
“I am who I am, and Amelia may not necessarily be able to come up with the ingenious uses of those skills.”
Is it really okay to talk about your daughter like that?
"Don't worry, I'll say it was you who told me."
"......" "......"
Just as Lu Ming was explaining the Ground-type to Saldallo, Amelia and Swamp King began their counterattack against their opponent.
"Swamp King, use your Freeze Ray to freeze that eagle!"
At Amelia's command, Swamp King immediately spewed a blue beam of light from its massive maw, striking its opponent's eagle.
Because the previous attacks had failed, the opponent hadn't had time to react. The eagle's flight speed was also slightly reduced due to the terrain, making it vulnerable to a single, fatal blow from the Swamp King!
"Match over! The winner is Amelia Lu!"
"Hehe! Just as I expected!" Artus laughed after the host and referee announced Amelia's victory. "With Amelia's strength, making it to the round of 16 is no problem at all. I just hope her opponent isn't me, otherwise it would be embarrassing if I suddenly died!"
"Ha! Swamp King is a bane to your Firestorm Beast, and Amelia's swordsmanship inherited from Lily and her unique magic inherited from Lu Ming can easily beat you to a pulp. No wonder you have the lowest odds right now," Saldallo said with a smile, shaking his head.
"Odds? You mean the betting odds from outside sources?"
“Yeah! Let’s bet on who will be eliminated most recently in the round of 16!” Saldallo laughed.
"How annoying!" Artus was immediately displeased upon hearing this.
"Who told you your strength isn't as good as the others? Putting aside Lu Ming, that freak who can fight a third-tier opponent while only being a first-tier, even Princess Ella could easily overpower you! If she hadn't been distracted during her attack yesterday, do you think you would have won?"
"Damn it!" Atus was utterly powerless to refute Saldal's taunts. Who could blame him for being 'truly' weak?
-----------------------------------
After a series of matches, evening gradually arrived.
After watching the game all day, Lu Ming gradually started to feel bored.
Compared to participating in the competition himself, Lu Ming was also a bit tired after sitting in the box and watching most of the matches, which were mostly quite boring except for a few exciting ones, all day long.
It wasn't until Amelia's final match that Lu Ming regained some energy and didn't fall asleep out of boredom.
"The two fighters standing on either side of the arena are, respectively, the Sword-Biting Wolf Amelia Lu and her Swamp King, and the Nightingale Baron Miramira and her Laurel Leaf!!"
"Bayleaf? The evolved form of Chikorita? Looks like Amelia is in trouble." Looking at the little yellow dinosaur on the stage with a large leaf on its head and several leaves on its neck, Lu Ming frowned slightly and said.
"Can Chikorita evolve too?" Saldallo asked curiously.
“Of course it will!” Artus said from the side. “There have been many reports of Chikorita evolving in the past few days. They are so frustrated! If Chikorita had evolved earlier, they wouldn’t have lost so badly.”
"However, this Baron Miramira is quite formidable. He actually managed to fight his way out of a group of fire-type magical beasts using only grass-type laurel leaves."
"Laurel Leaf isn't just limited to Grass-type moves. Just one move that can put a person or monster into a Mabi state is enough to make those Fire-type monsters suffer!" Lu Ming said with a slight smile.
"By the way, isn't this situation very disadvantageous for Amelia?"
"More or less. But it depends on who is stronger between Amelia and Miramira in terms of command over their companions and their own strength."
With that, the match between Amelia and Miramira began.
Like one of Lu Ming's former opponents, Miramira was like someone from a primitive tribe, only a little more like a noblewoman than that contestant.
"I remember Dad once said that Uncle Muka's Chikorita is a pure Grass-type, which is weak to Vileplume's Poison-type moves. Bayleaf is the evolved form of Chikorita, so they should be the same. So..." Amelia, in a disadvantageous position, chose to attack first. She commanded Quagsire beside her, "Quagsire, use Sludge Bomb!"
Then, just as Swamp King condensed a purple mud ball, Amelia rushed towards Miramira.
Seeing Amelia charging towards him, Swamp King also fired a Poison Sludge Bomb at Bayleaf. Miramira couldn't help but sneer and shouted, "Baldleaf, use Protect to block it! Then use Razor Leaf to finish off that Swamp King!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the laurel leaf erected a green shield, easily blocking the Swamp King's poison mud bomb.
But at that moment, Amelia suddenly swerved and charged towards Laurel Leaf. And her weapon was enveloped in flames!
"Oh no, we've been tricked!" As soon as Miramira saw Amelia abandon her and turn to attack Laurel Leaf, she knew she had been fooled.
The reason Amelia rushed towards herself was to make Amelia subconsciously believe that using protection would allow Laurel Leaf to counterattack unharmed! This was to bait out Amelia's protection, allowing her own attack to hit!
"Laurel Leaf, use Impact!" Because the protection cannot be used continuously, Baron Miramira could only let Laurel Leaf and Amelia collide!
"Nitrogen Charge!!" Amelia roared, swinging her weapon at Laurel Leaf. Laurel Leaf, in turn, charged towards Amelia.
Ultimately, Amelia's Nitro Charge successfully struck Laurel Leaf, causing significant damage. However, the impact of Laurel Leaf also shattered Amelia's weapon, putting her in a difficult situation.
In that instant, Miramira suddenly rushed to Amelia's side, preparing to strike Amelia's lower back with her weapon.
But the next moment, Amelia slipped into the shadows and flashed behind Miramira in an instant, kicking out with a powerful kick!
Miramira heard the sound of the wind and quickly turned around, using her weapon to deflect Amelia's kick.
"Laurel Leaf, suppress!" Miramira suddenly said the instant she blocked Amelia's attack.
Because her foot struck Miramira's weapon, Amelia felt a sharp pain and was unable to dodge in time, and was knocked to the ground by the suddenly leaping laurel leaf.
“Amelia…” Seeing his daughter fall to the ground by a laurel leaf, Lu Ming stood up nervously.
However, Amelia was not so fragile that she would be taken down by a single crushing blow.
Amelia, who was pinned down by the laurel leaf, grabbed the laurel leaf and suddenly exhaled a breath of cold air, causing the laurel leaf to hurriedly try to escape.
No matter how much Laurel Leaf struggled, Amelia held her tightly and relentlessly attacked her with her fine snow. Meanwhile, the Swamp King attacked Miramira, preventing her from rescuing Laurel Leaf.
Dodging Swamp King's relentless attacks with enhanced punches, Miramira, hearing Bayleather's screams, cried out anxiously, "Bayleather, use Suppression!"
Thus, the laurel leaf that was already pressing down on Amelia once again exerted its suppression, viciously delivering a heavy blow to Amelia, forcing her to use Ghost Stealth to sneak into the shadows, lest she be hit by the laurel leaf's suppression again!
Although Amelia was fortunate enough not to be suppressed into a mabi state, she was still seriously injured. When she emerged from the shadows, a trace of blood still clung to the corner of her mouth.
"Laurel Leaf, use Flying Leaf Quick Blade!" At this moment, Miramira suddenly forced Swamp King back with a sword strike, retreating behind Laurel Leaf, whose body already had a trace of crystallization. Then she commanded Laurel Leaf.
Despite his serious injuries, Laurel Leaf still vigorously shook the leaves on his head, sending out several leaves as sharp as knives!
