Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

Pokkiss carried the burden forward, all to create a favorable environment for the Warriors' Hawks to score.

The stage is set, and now it's time for the Warriors and Eagles to reap the rewards!

…………

Just as Togekiss was drawing everyone's attention, the Patient Hunter, which had been circling not far away, finally made its move.

He flapped his wings and suddenly leaped up, creating gusts of wind in the air beside his wings in the instant of his explosive speed.

Starting with the sharp beak at the front, the warrior eagle's entire body converges, its smooth lines resembling a missile.

It swooped down at incredible speed toward the tiny Mimikyu on the ground.

At the same time, the flight-type energy that had been accumulating within him for a long time also erupted instantly, enveloping his entire body.

The dissipated energy merged with the wind around him, and wherever the warrior eagle went, even the surrounding wind seemed to be dyed golden.

Like a shooting star streaking across the sky, the warrior eagle, which transformed its body into a weapon, crashed into Mimikyu, leaving a long trail of light dust behind it.

……

This is the Brave Eagle's specialty, and almost the most powerful of all Flying-type moves: Divine Bird Strike!

The game deals a whopping 140 points of pre-tax damage, plus the added effects of flinching and increased vulnerability to critical hits.

This is enough to demonstrate the extraordinary damage and effect of this move.

Of course, everything comes at a price.

High-powered moves usually have significant side effects, such as the stun effect of the Hyper Beam.

The side effect of Divine Bird Strike is that it requires one round of charging.

Without a doubt, the Valiant Eagle had already begun charging up its Divine Bird Strike before Togekiss used [Watch Me].

Xia Shen and Ye Rou are the two strongest students at Wudu University, and their spirits also have the deepest communication.

Both Togekiss and Brave Eagle are bird spirits and both are known for their aggressive fighting style.

The two of them had already forged a deep "friendship" on the battlefield.

Although this is their first time fighting side by side, the Warriors Eagles believe that Pokémon will definitely create space for them to unleash the Bird Strike.

He wasn't disappointed; Tokis's perfect "[Look at me!]" drew all the firepower.

Now it's time for him to repay Pokkis's trust in his fearless charge.

Ye Rou's Warrior Eagle has the characteristic of [Forced], so the perfect item to carry is the [Life Orb].

The Divine Bird Strike was originally a move with power close to the Destruction Ray, and it was further enhanced by the Forced Life Orb.

Mimikyu, whose condition had been significantly depleted by Zoroark and Incineroar, was killed on the spot by the powerful attack of Brave Eagle!

Dongdu University will lose one member.

Mimikyu, who used Sword Dance twice, is like a core carry in a MOBA game who has been farmed by four heroes for thirty minutes and has a full set of amazing equipment.

As a result... after ten seconds of positioning, the assassin was instantly knocked down.

In fact, it only used Shadow Sneak a few times throughout the entire match.

…………

It's unclear whether Mimikyu was frightened by the Brave Eagle's overwhelming damage or simply couldn't accept the fact that it had collapsed in frustration just as it was about to unleash its full power.

Hayakawa Itsuki stood frozen on the sidelines, hesitant to substitute Mimikyu, who had lost his ability to fight.

"The battle isn't over yet, Hayakawa-kun."

Fujiwara Kaoru's cool, emotionless voice rang in his ear, pulling Hayakawa Itsuki back from his reverie.

He instinctively took out a Poké Ball and summoned his last Pokémon, Gengar, which was still suffering from frostbite.

Do you still have the courage to fight on?

Fujiwara Kaoru turned her head and looked at her partner meaningfully.

"If you don't want to fight anymore, you can let me command Gengar."

She stopped directing the battle and simply waited quietly for Hayakawa Itsuki's answer.

Perhaps out of youthful shame, the latter wanted to say something, but hesitated to speak.

Fujiwara Kaoru seemed to have completely forgotten about the game on the field, and continued to calmly watch Hayakawa Itsuki.

Finally, Hayakawa Itsuki nodded emphatically, his face flushed.

…………

The battle on the field did not stop because of the exchange between the two.

Gardevoir, with its Gengar severely damaged, was almost fighting two Pokémon at once, handling their attacks with ease.

However, Togekiss and Brave Eagle did not intend to confront Gardevoir head-on, but instead planned to take down Gengar first.

In this type of doubles battle where each player commands two Pokémon, if both of one player's Pokémon become unable to battle, the other player can only send out one Pokémon, even if they still have two.

Xia Shen and Ye Rou certainly wouldn't give up this legitimate advantage within the rules.

So the weakened Gengar had no choice but to hide behind Gardevoir for protection, avoiding the righteous onslaught from Togekiss and Braviary.

By the time Fujiwara Kaoru and Hayakawa Itsuki refocused their attention on the battle, Gengar was still struggling to hold on.

Clearly, Hayakawa Itsuki is not the protagonist of a shonen anime. His return did not allow Gengar to feel the power of bonds and then unleash its full potential to turn the tide.

Tokiss and Brave Eagle used the same trick again, combining [Watch Me] with [Divine Bird Strike].

In a short time, the opponent couldn't think of a way to break the spell, and the purple fat man could only fall helplessly under the claws of the Warrior Eagle.

Meanwhile, Togekiss, already severely injured, was also taken away by Gardevoir's Psychic attack.

But that doesn't matter anymore. Zoroark is in good condition, and Ye Rou has even switched to Incineroar, which is immune to psychic moves.

No matter how strong Gardevoir is, it's still just a professional level 6 Pokémon, and ultimately it can't withstand a two-on-one fight against justice.

As for the last one, the Chi-Chi, needless to say, Fujiwara Kaoru didn't even send him out again before reluctantly admitting defeat.

Then, something happened that shocked all the onlookers.

The starting doubles pair from Dongdu University lost to the twin stars from Wudu University, who have almost never played a serious doubles match.

## Chapter 235 My Arcanine Has the Potential of a Divine Beast!

Evening, on the campus of Dongdu University.

Xia Shenye, Fujiwara, and her two daughters strolled along a tree-lined path, chatting as they digested their meal.

The four handsome men and beautiful women attracted a lot of attention.

However, appearance is only a minor factor; the more important reason is the high popularity of the Fujiwara mother and daughter at the school.

Putting aside those sordid thoughts, a master-level trainer in his early forties, plus a promising captain of a top university team.

Even at Dongdu University, a school teeming with brilliant minds, they were the most dazzling presence.

Today, they were all chatting and laughing with a young couple who didn't look much older than themselves.

Upon closer inspection, it turns out one of them is Xia Shen. Oh, that's alright then...

It would be an exaggeration to say that nine out of ten young Chinese trainers of the same generation as Xia Shen know him.

But it's no exaggeration to say that almost every single person who surfs the internet knows him.

Many people who recognized Xia Shen couldn't help but wonder why he would come to Dongdu at this time.

Could it be that they're here to participate in the national competition that will be held in Tokyo? Very likely.

Then I thought about how he's only a freshman this year, and then I looked at myself, who'd wasted two or three years and couldn't even make it onto the school team's reserve roster...

I don't want to think about it anymore, otherwise I'll get emo again...

…………

"Thank you both very much for your guidance today."

Fujiwara Kaoru wore a polite and appropriate smile, but it did not appear distant.

The gentle warmth made Ye Rou unable to help but smile like a lovesick fool.

Although Fujiwara Kaoru is an ice queen on stage, in real life she is just an ordinary girl who, apart from being pretty, is no different from any other girl.

She was far from the superpowered girl Xia Shen had imagined.

As for what he imagines it to be like... let's not even talk about someone like Sabrina from the anime, who's more or less a bit psychologically disturbed.

Perhaps one should act like a solitary observer of humanity?

At worst, she'd be similar to that white-haired loli I met on the plane.

As Xia Shen was lost in thought, Rou Ge picked up the conversation, laughing heartily, "Don't be so polite, it's all... What I mean is, we can practice a bit before the competition."

Fujiwara Keiko smiled slightly, "If you two don't mind, we can arrange accommodation for you. Although it can't compare to the Seven Stars Mountain, it's still one of the best in the entire Eastern Capital."

The two exchanged a glance, both somewhat tempted.

The hotel arranged by their own school was naturally quite nice, but when they came out to compete, they would definitely bring all six Pokémon.

With the elves added, there's not enough room left.

In particular, Xia Shen also had those three huge guys that were three or four meters long.

However, with a major battle looming, isn't it a bit...?

Seemingly sensing their doubts, Fujiwara Keiko reassured them, "Don't worry, I'll just give Principal Mu a heads-up. After all, the national competition is just an exchange between schools, there's not much to it."

That makes sense, so Xia Shen and Ye Rou stopped refusing and accepted her invitation.

……

"By the way, do you know about the changes to the World Junior Championships this year?" Fujiwara Keiko asked, perhaps because they were talking about the national championships.

The two, not being well-informed, shook their heads in unison.

What surprised Xia Shen was that even Fujiwara Kaoru looked at her mother with a surprised expression.

It seems this matter is quite secretive?
