Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

The situation on the field reversed instantly. Tibbers' protection could stop the two earthquakes that were cast almost simultaneously, although it would come at the cost of consuming a lot of energy.

But the price the opponent paid was far more than that.

Even if it wasn't a powerful earthquake, the earthquake following the powerful sword dance was already incredibly powerful!

Do you like to build up your energy?

Even with two charged attacks, it only cancels out the boost from Ursaring's Swords Dance. For Snorlax, which has low physical defense, this Earthquake is far more powerful than Dig or Psychic.

The opponent's other Pokémon, Rhyperior, while possessing extremely high physical defense, shouldn't be forgotten; it's twice as weak to Ground-type Pokémon...

Xia Shen's extremely quick command turned their own catastrophe into the enemy's annihilation in an instant!

It can be said that without the support of superpowers, Xia Shen would not have been able to make the judgment of the optimal solution so quickly and convey the instructions.

But Xia Shen now has a stronger command ability than the best doubles pair.

Even the most compatible two people cannot understand their partner's thoughts at all times.

Achieving the theoretically optimal command is very difficult!

But for Xia Shen, who considers himself his teammate, this is just basic stuff.

------

The two earth-shattering roars that rang out almost simultaneously made Li Si's face turn green.

Even if Snorlax charges up twice and has high durability, it can't withstand being attacked like that by its opponent and teammates!

Especially since Umbreon was right next to him, with the "epicenter" right beside him, the power of this STAB Earthquake after Sword Dance would be on another level!

Chen Xiao wasn't much better off. Although Rhyperior had higher physical defense than Snorlax and only took one hit from Earthquake, he was weak to Ground...

Looking at the two massive Pokémon on the field, their figures were so weak from the double earthquake that they could barely stand.

And then, glancing again at Moon Bear and Tebrimon...

For the Moon Bear, a normal earthquake caused by the Super Armored Rhinoceros wouldn't be completely harmless, but it would definitely only result in minor damage.

As for Tibrim, he's even more infuriating!

This perfectly placed protection withstood the damage from the two earthquakes. Under the transparent barrier, the little witch remained calm and unaffected, as if nothing had happened.

Li Si and Chen Xiao exchanged a wry smile; both knew that in this round of confrontation, their side had been completely outmatched...

Xia Shen didn't give any command at all, yet the two elves were able to respond so perfectly?

How exactly did they manage to do that?

This is not only a question for Li Si and Chen Xiao, but also a point of confusion for many attentive viewers.

……

Snorlax: What have I done to deserve this?

"To be honest, Xia Shen's two Pokémon react too quickly, have a strong sense of independent battle, and are so well-coordinated! How did he train them?"

"Is it possible that the problem isn't with the Pokémon, but with the Trainer...?"

"That's what I think too. I've felt for a long time that Xia Shen's command is not right. Sometimes it's as if he has a telepathic connection with the elves. Without any command, the elves make the perfect response. Is it really just that the elves have strong autonomous combat capabilities?"

"I've heard about people with special abilities a long time ago. Is it possible, I mean, just possible, that this isn't an urban legend?"

"That's enough. Things aren't like they used to be. With the internet so developed, anything that happens can spread all over the world via the internet. If there really were superpowered people, would they be able to hide it?"

"That comment above is too naive. Do you really think what you see online wasn't filtered out by a special agency before you saw it?"

"I have a conflict of interest, so I'll remain anonymous. All I can say is that the world isn't as simple as you think."

Speculation is just speculation, and there is no conclusion on this matter until Xia Shen's secret is truly revealed.

However, these unusual behaviors, through the nationally renowned stage of the National High School Championships, have attracted the attention and discussion of many people.

It has also spread to many corners, both bright and dark...

Of course, these are just off-stage comments.

Meanwhile, the competition on the battlefield is still in full swing.

…………

"Snorlax, use Swallow!"

"Super Armored Rhino, use Rock Blast on Tibbrim!"

The two players from Shangjing Middle School, one on offense and one on defense, tried to salvage the situation, which was on the verge of collapse.

With Ursaring and Tibbers nearby, Snorlax dared not continue using its charged attack.

In his current state, if Moon Bear were to launch a powerful attack to hold on, and then Tibris were to follow up with a mental shock, he would most likely not be able to withstand it.

He dared not gamble with his life, so he quickly swallowed the two layers of stored energy, and instantly his physical strength was restored to a relatively healthy state.

As expected, right after Swallowing, Umbreon, with a fierce aura, slammed its fist into Snorlax's belly.

Meanwhile, Tibrimon, disregarding the fact that the "cannon" in its hand was already pointed at its own Rhyperior, gathered the abundant Psychic-type energy within its body and fired a Psychic Blast at Snorlax.

"Snorlax—" The series of powerful punches and mental shocks caused Snorlax to let out a painful howl.

After consuming the Snorlax that had previously stored all its energy, it recovered nearly half of its health, but the two boosts to its defenses that it had previously received also vanished without a trace.

At this moment, his physical defense wasn't much higher than Tebriam's.

However, both "Endurance" and "Mental Impact" are genuine physical damage from the two Pokémon's own type.

So, Snorlax's newly recovered state was suppressed again by these two ridiculously damaging moves.

"Tibrim, help!"

"Moon Bear, hang in there one more time!"

This was Xia Shen's first time speaking in the match; given the current situation, there was no point in hiding anything.

The enhancement from Moonbear's Sword Dance will last for a long time, and Super Armored Rhino won't be able to do anything to Tibrim for the time being.

I'm coming clean; I'm going to focus all my attacks on your Snorlax!

Even knowing Xia Shen's open-ended tactics, Li Si and Chen Xiao were helpless.

We have no choice but to burn our bridges.

"Snorlax, use DD Hook Arm on Teebris!"

"Super Armored Rhino, Tibrim, continue with Rock Slam!"

This is the best option that comes to mind in a short period of time.

Let Snorlax and Tibbers trade one for one, leaving Rhyperior and Ursaring to fight one-on-one.

Even so, the chances of winning are still slim, but there is no better way.

"Kirby—"

Snorlax's fist, almost larger than Teebrim's, slammed down with dark Dark-type energy onto the tiny Teebrim on the ground.

Over there, the Super Armored Rhino once again raised its cannon, which was filled with rocks and stone pellets, and aimed it at Tibrim, who had just used up its help and had nowhere to hide.

"boom--"

"Boom—"

Two deafening explosions erupted from the battlefield.

The first attack was a devastating punch from Umbreon, powered by both Swords Dance and Helping Hand, aimed at Snorlax.

The second sound was the deafening roar of three rock projectiles fired from the Super Armored Rhino's cannon hitting Tebrimon.

As for Snorlax's DD-Hook Arm?

Sorry, Snorlax has already collapsed to the ground under that powerful punch that far exceeded the power of a beginner professional-level Pokémon.

Only three Pokémon remain on the field.

…………

The contestant area of ​​Shangjing Middle School.

The coach sighed deeply. As a professional eighth-dan trainer, how could he not know that the outcome of this battle was already decided?

This means that Shangjing Middle School is about to suffer a crushing defeat in the final with a score of 1:5.

Moreover, they lost to Zhijiang Middle School, a team that was virtually unknown before the competition...

The other team members watched with varying expressions as Moon Bear and Tibblimm brutally beat the Super Armored Rhino on the battlefield.

They couldn't believe that they, the strongest generation in history with two professional-level Pokémon, were going to lose.

No way? Maybe... there's still a chance?

Those who still clung to a sliver of hope, clinging to the fantasy that the Super Armored Rhino could turn the tide in a two-on-one fight, finally returned to reality with the massive crash of the rhino falling to the ground.

Beijing Middle School, defeated!

……

While one side is experiencing wind and rain, the other is enjoying sunshine. At this moment, the contestant area of ​​Zhijiang Middle School is also completely silent.

Unlike the deathly silence over there, this was an unbelievable stillness.

Then, a burst of cheers and celebrations suddenly erupted.

Regardless of whether they played in the finals or not, or even at all, there is no doubt that Zhijiang Middle School won!

we are the champion!

…………

In the live stream room of the online platform, the barrage of comments exploded the moment the Super Armored Rhino fell.

"I guessed the score, but I didn't expect this result... Zhijiang Middle School 5:1 Shangjing Middle School? That's too surreal!"

"Holy crap, I bet on Shangjing Middle School to win before the game, hoping to get some welfare benefits, and they actually lost? This is too rigged! Investigate Shangjing Middle School thoroughly!"

"I'm laughing so hard I almost threw up. There are people betting on the National High School Championship? Yes, yes, it's all match-fixing. Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times because he bet on over 6.5!"

"Did you guys notice... in this final match, all the points scored by Zhijiang Middle School were taken by Xia Shen alone! He's only been a professional for a year..."

"One person defeats an entire team! Xia Shen has accomplished what Yan Yu couldn't do back then. Yan Yu is already the youngest master in China. Where will his ceiling be?"
