Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

A miracle has happened!

At the same time, not far behind Garchomp, Xia Shen's chest suddenly emitted a dazzling orange-yellow light.

Two scattered beams of light converged and merged between Xia Shen and the Garchomp.

Amidst the sandstorm, Garchomp's form shifted constantly, but the light vanished in a mere second.

Although it wasn't clear, everyone knew that Mega Garchomp had appeared in the arena.

…………

"Ms. Jennifer, this...how is this possible?"

Off the field, Alice gazed at the blurry yet unmistakably real figure of Mega Garchomp amidst the sandstorm.

She was momentarily lost in thought, muttering questions to Jennifer beside her, as if talking to herself.

Jennifer, who far surpasses Alice in both strength and experience, is not much better off.

Rather, it's precisely because she knows more that she is so awestruck to see this Garchomp that has undergone such an incredible mega-evolution.

This simply doesn't conform to the evolutionary patterns of elves that people have studied for thousands of years...

Of course, the most shocked and puzzled person was Cole, who had been provoking Xia Shen just a moment before.

His wide eyes were filled with confusion, horror, and a hint of...fear!

Because he knew that if it was a Mega Garchomp that had used Swords Dance twice, it wouldn't be impossible for it to defeat three opponents at once.

We must deal with this immediately. This Pokémon's strength has at least jumped to a level similar to our own Tyranitar, but its attack power is terrifyingly high!

Thinking of this, Cole roared to wake Tyranitar, who was trembling slightly in fear in front of Mega Garchomp.

"Tyranitar, finish him off with Ice Punch!"

Even if Garchomp in this state were to Mega Evolve, it would still be easily defeated by Tyranitar's Ice Punch.

As long as he can hit the target... Xia Shen is still nothing more than a clown!

…………

Xia Shen looked at the endless yellow sand that enveloped the two elves and smiled slightly.

Having weathered the toughest moment, it's time for Garchomp to shine.

Tyranitar's Sand Stream was really good. I'll gladly accept my Mega Evolution Garchomp with the Sand Power ability.

[Garuda, Earthquake!]

The two Pokémon were extremely close together, Tyranitar was twice as weak to Ground, and in the Sandstorm, the Ground moves of Pokémon with the [Sand Power] ability were boosted.

With all these advantages combined, Xia Shen chose to use Rapid Earthquake.

The opponent chose to protect themselves, so the swift earthquake was definitely not a loss.

If the opponent chooses to engage in a fight with Ice Fist, Swift Earthquake can be unleashed first.

As for the damage...

On the field, after a brief moment of energy condensation, Garchomp lifted one leg and then slammed it down with tremendous force.

The solid rock surface cracked instantly... no, calling it a fracture seems more appropriate.

The tiny cracks that were initially created by trampling continued to spread outwards.

In the blink of an eye, it was torn apart by terrifying force into a huge crack at least three fingers wide.

The next instant brought a powerful, earth-shattering tremor.

The powerful energy of the ground system was continuously transmitted through shockwaves, eroding everything on the ground, both inanimate and living.

The closest building to the epicenter, a two-meter-tall Bangilas, didn't even survive the first wave of terrifying tremors.

Before he could even unleash the frozen fist that had just formed in his hand, he collapsed with a thud.

However, this was only the beginning of Bangilas' nightmare.

The first shockwave was just an appetizer; a larger contact area meant greater damage.

The second wave...

The third wave...

The relentless shockwaves eroded the body of the prone Tyranitar.

The piercing screams rose and fell amidst the swirling dust.

A few seconds later, there was silence.

At this point, the earthquake had completely ended.

At the center of everyone's attention, Bangiras, who was initially knocked down, remained unresponsive for a long time.

After a quick confirmation by the referee, it was determined that he had lost the ability to fight and was unable to resume his actions.

In the eerily silent atmosphere, a calm voice rang out.

"Hurry up and switch to a different Pokémon, I'm in a rush."

Author's Remarks

Stop sweating like a bean, everyone, I'm getting emo... I finally managed to write a typical face-slapping and bragging plot from web novels, and everyone's being sarcastic. Some even said I skipped chapters, but I was busy all day yesterday, and I just happened to finish writing that part last night... Others said I was padding the story... Even the face-slapping and bragging gets me sarcastic. If I don't lay some groundwork and write about the villain's inner thoughts, I'm afraid I'll be bombarded with criticism and won't know how to write it anymore. Anyway, today was another day of staying up late and getting up early. Monday was a ton of things to do, and I even got criticized by my boss for making a mistake at work this morning. I'm so tired.

## Chapter 225 The Legend of the Fastest Speed ​​in One Minute at Seven Luminaries Mountain! (6.7k)

Xia Shen's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached every corner of the field and off the field.

Seeing Bangilas lying on the ground, everyone watching the game fell silent.

Murder, but also torture?

These words may sound ordinary at first, but upon closer examination... their destructive power is astonishing.

The subtext is clear: "What limits the speed of your defeat is time, not your ability!"

However... Xia Shen really had no intention of provoking anyone.

It has been more than ten seconds since Garchomp Mega Evolved.

Right now, all he wants to do is make the most of every remaining second in his Mega Garchomp form.

……

According to the rules, after a Pokémon falls, the player has five seconds to switch Pokémon.

It wasn't long, but it was enough for Cole to come back to his senses.

Although he is stubborn, arrogant, and conceited, it must be admitted that as a Pokémon trainer, his strength surpasses that of most of his peers.

The same applies to the mindset during a match.

Even though the attack power of this Mega Garchomp far exceeded his expectations, exaggerated to the point that after two Swords Dances, it used Earthquake to instantly kill Tyranitar.

But Cole still managed to climb back up from the brink of mental collapse.

With victory within reach, all it takes is one more freezing punch, or a strike to the heart...

This Garchomp, now a flickering candle in the wind, is destined to fall!

Then, even though the rogue crocodile was able to defeat Xia Shen, whose overall strength was far inferior to his own.

Just... you only need to land one counter move!

This has almost become an obsession for Cole.

And if it fails...

The strange looks from her classmates, Alice's disgusted words, Jennifer's cold attitude...

These are all secondary.

Most importantly, he had just mocked and humiliated Ye Rou, Xia Shen, and even everyone at Wudu University.

They will repay you double, like daggers piercing your heart, trampling your self-esteem and pride underfoot, crushing them again and again.

Thinking about this, Cole shuddered.

He gritted his teeth and hurriedly pulled back the fallen Bangilas before the referee could declare him the loser.

Then, a flash of white light appeared, and the rogue crocodile that had appeared earlier suddenly reappeared.

This is Cole's second-in-command.

…………

Mixed with Dark-type energy, a ferocious aura emanated from Crocodile, affecting the Mega Garchomp not far in front of it.

Although Garchomp wouldn't actually be frightened by this aura, the [Intimidate] ability still activated, and the intense orange light on Garchomp's body dissipated slightly.

The principles behind intimidation, oppression, and tension are the same, and they are closely related to the energy within the Pokémon and in their moves.

Unless the two are significantly different in strength, such as a low-level professional Pokémon versus a master-level Intimidate Pokémon.

Otherwise, the attack should still be reduced if necessary.

Seeing that the attack power of the Mega Garchomp had been slightly weakened, Xia Shen felt a chill.

Therefore, we should cherish the remaining time even more.

[Garuda, get ready to take flight!]

"Rogue Crocodile, your Achilles' heel!"

Cole chose the move with the most side effects, but it was also the most effective move against Garchomp of all the moves that Crocodile knew.

High power, double the restraint.

If it hits, the damage this deals to Garchomp won't be much weaker than Ice Punch.

Of course, this is on the premise that the shot hits.
