Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

On the ground, Metagross also caught up with Excadrill with Bullet Punch, and finished off Garchomp with a Hammer Hammer!

Both sides defeated the opponent's first Pokémon almost simultaneously.

But Xia Shen and Fujiwara Kaoru had completely different expressions on their faces.

One side is relaxed, the other is solemn.

Clearly, it was Fujiwara Kaoru who was somber.

She knew that Hayakawa Itsuki's Mimikyu would collapse if touched just one more time.

Tyranitar, on the other hand, could at least withstand one of Metagross's Bullet Punch.

That's enough!

Tyranitar can then use Protect to stall the situation while Garchomp returns to provide support after dealing with Mimikyu.

At that point, it will be a two-against-one situation.

If Garchomp were in front of Tyranitar, it would be difficult for me to get past this behemoth and forcefully kill him.

...

Fujiwara Kaoru suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

Since her last defeat, Xia Shen has studied almost every match she has played.

She thought she had figured out this man.

But when they clashed again, they found themselves in a desperate situation once more...

Although this event has the information gap of "lava storm with [unable to escape] effect", this is by no means the only point.

This person is absolutely terrifying as an opponent...

Is he destined to lose this crucial match again?

She reluctantly pondered the possibility of turning defeat into victory.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind: a move that Metagross had almost never used since it learned it, which made her heart skip a beat.

Perhaps... this move still offers a chance to turn the tide?

------------

Chapter 242 You even foresaw this!

"The situation at Toto University is very bad right now. Although Hayakawa Itsuki and Akiyama Kasumi each still have a Pokémon, their conditions are very different. Mimikyu will definitely fall first."

"At that time, Fujiwara Kaoru will be facing a situation of fighting two against one. Wang Tianwang, it seems that we are getting closer and closer to the day when the people of Chongqing will erect a statue of you."

In the live stream, after analyzing the situation, the female commentator couldn't help but tease Wang Tianwang, who seemed to be about to make another jinx.

Despite being over fifty, Wang Tianwang still appeared energetic and shook his head with a light laugh. "Don't be in such a hurry. I think it's not necessarily true."

The female commentator was surprised; she knew Wang Tianwang wasn't the type to be stubborn.

To dare to say such things, one must have made a mistake.

But where is the turning point?

Before the commentators could even process what was happening on the field, the battle had already resumed.

Because Gengar fell down earlier than Excadrill.

Therefore, Mimikyu appeared before Tyranitar.

Unsurprisingly, it was immediately pursued by Garchomp as soon as it came out of the Poké Ball.

Mimikyu withstood Garchomp's Shadow Claw thanks to its newly introduced protection, and then used Shadow Sneak to teleport to Tyranitar's side.

Because of the return of Bangiras, and the sandstorm that has risen again in the area.

The situation instantly turned into a two-on-one battle between Metagross and Mimikyu.

But the distance Mimikyu escaped was nothing to Garchomp.

With a single leap, Garchomp arrived beside Mimikyu.

Naturally, it also came to Metagross's side.

At this moment, the four elves were only a step away from each other!

…………

Kaoru Fujiwara watched as Garchomp chased after the four Pokémon that flew close behind, and took a deep breath.

She knew that this was her last chance, and also the last chance for Dongdu University in this year's national competition.

The time had come, and she no longer hesitated, using her telepathy to respond to the Metagross's final command.

[Metamorphoses, now! Big Explosion!]

Big Bang – Triggers a massive explosion, causing immense damage to all Pokémon around it.

One of the most powerful moves in the game.

With a pre-tax damage of up to 250, it's almost twice that of powerful elemental attacks like Leaf Storm and Meteor Shower!

But everything comes at a price, and the side effects of the Big Bang were enormous.

After use, the spirit that used it will inevitably lose its ability to fight.

Without a doubt, this is a move that kills a thousand enemies but also injures oneself... This isn't called self-inflicted injury, it's called suicide, a desperate, do-or-die tactic.

And this was Fujiwara Kaoru's final decision.

Although Metagross's stamina is still sufficient to hold its own against Garchomp for a few rounds.

But Kaoru Fujiwara knew that this was just a sweet illusion.

With Mimikyu dead, Garchomp was even able to entangle Metagross, covering Tyranitar's power-up!

The advantage of two against one is too great, and there are many tactical variations to choose from.

Mimikyu was killed first, while Tyranitar was still alive.

Even if Gardevoir can defeat a gauntlet of Garchomp and Arcanine, it definitely can't win against Tyranitar alone.

Putting everything else aside, if Xia Shen switches to Arcanine and Tyranitar, each of them can use Roar on themselves, it would greatly weaken Gardevoir's abilities.

Conversely, if it were Tyranitar who fell, and Mimikyu Q were still alive, the situation would be completely reversed.

So, it doesn't matter whether Metagross lives or dies, but Mimikyu must live.

Bangilas must die too!

The Big Bang would be the best option for this situation.

…………

To ensure that the Big Bang would finish off the severely weakened Tyranitar, Metagross also delivered a Bullet Punch after its opponent entered the fray.

The Ghost-type Mimikyu is immune to Normal-type Explosion.

And there's an extra surprise: Garchomp flew over with Mimikyu!

This would trigger a massive explosion of all the energy within Metagross, causing immense damage even to the strongest Pokémon at Mist City University.

If the plan succeeds, this three-birds-with-one-stone tactic will definitely be the key to turning defeat into victory!

During the sandstorm, Metagross stomped its four feet on the ground, and its blue-green body gradually turned reddish-brown.

Consequently, the temperature of its body surface is rising dramatically.

In an instant, a blinding white light enveloped the Metagross.

Even in a sandstorm with sand and rocks flying everywhere, the light cannot be obscured in the slightest.

The change happened so fast that the audience didn't even have time to react before the build-up phase of the explosion was already coming to an end.

Even the commentators in the studio stared in disbelief at the unexpected scene on the screen.

Because the Big Bang move has such a low chance of being used.

This has never happened even once in all the matches of this national tournament.

Only Wang Tianwang remained calm and composed, taking a sip of tea and sighing, "The Big Bang... What a nostalgic move. Back in the day, this was my signature move, Foretus."

…………

Before the audience and the elves on the field could react, the light instantly engulfed half of the field.

The audience, who had been staring blankly at the battlefield, unconsciously closed their eyes as their brains' self-protection mechanism kicked in.

The intensity of the light from this massive explosion exceeded the limits that people could withstand!

“Mehta—”

From within the ball of light came the roar of the Megalodon, burning the last of its energy.

The sound also seemed to be a reminder to the audience that they should cover their ears.

Then, a deafening explosion erupted on the field, like several thunderbolts crashing down at the same time, seemingly about to reverberate throughout the entire East Capital Elf Battle Arena!

Even the echo of the explosion lingered for more than ten seconds in the semi-enclosed arena.

Finally, the arena fell silent.

has it ended?

The audience opened their eyes in confusion, eagerly looking at the large screen in the center of the arena, only to see a blank white screen.

They waited anxiously, knowing that with such a powerful explosion, only Mimikyu, immune to the explosion, and Garchomp, with its high durability, would remain on the field.

But curiosity still drove them to keep a close eye on the battlefield, to confirm everyone's suspicions.

Half a minute later, the dust disappeared, and the scene in the field was revealed.

To the surprise of all the viewers, and even Wang Tianwang himself, the creature that survived the massive explosion was Garchomp...

And Bangilas!

Looking at the Garchomp panting heavily and Tyranitar gazing at the Garchomp with reverence, people couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances with those around them.

The light from the violent explosion obscured the truth of what was happening.
