Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

...

Lu Leng's Milotic is even more heavyweight, its quality is simply top-notch.

Relying on the Water Ring left by Primarina, it used Coil while enduring Goodra's thunder.

A move that increases attack, defense, and hit rate.

The first two are nothing; the key is the hit rate.

After advancing two levels, even the nimble dragon, who had improved its evasion rate through seclusion, was hit by her hypnosis and fell into a sleep state.

Xia Shen, being such a thoughtful person, would naturally let her learn to talk in her sleep.

However, Sleep Talk is such an unreliable move that sometimes it just wastes Goodra's precious energy.

After attempting to unleash a flamethrower once, Xia Shen decided to wait until she woke up before proceeding.

Anyway, Nian Meilong is in pretty good health right now.

Having gone into seclusion once, its dual defenses were enough to make that Milotic, whose output wasn't particularly high, despair.

With the continuous healing from the top-tier healing stone, Goomy Dragon was in no danger whatsoever.

As for the poisonous move that's standard for tanks, why would a Steelix be afraid of that?

And so the battle lasted for more than half an hour.

Goodra used its full power to almost completely deplete the energy of itself and its opponent's two Pokémon.

Xia Shen then brought in Moon Bear to finish off the remaining enemies, finally securing the victory in the match.

Of course, the price is the battle ability of Arcanine and Goodra.

Although Nume was still in good physical condition when the battle ended, her internal energy was almost completely depleted, making her practically incapable of fighting.

Although they lost this main match, Kyoto University achieved half of its tactical objectives.

At least, if it goes to the playoffs, we definitely won't see Goodra, that frustrating Pokémon, again.

Therefore, the atmosphere there can be described as relaxed.

The Politoed was severely weakened, the powerful Garchomp was too strong to carry the team alone, and there was also a Togekiss or Zoroark whose strength was not up to par for the finals.

This should be the lineup for the Xia Shen playoffs.

With their captain yet to play, Beijing University is absolutely confident of victory!

...

Of course, that's a story.

If we can win all three games in the main tournament and take the victory directly, that would be even better.

In the second match, the vice-captains, Wudu University avoided direct confrontation and did not allow Ye Rou to play.

Without a doubt, Zhang Zijun lost to the formidable third singles player from Peking University.

But everyone knows that another key to success for Chongqing University lies with Ye Rou.

The third match is the crucial one that will determine whether there will be a playoff.

In some ways, this might be an even more thrilling match than the main match.

In this match, although it wasn't a match point game, it was even more crucial.

Ye Rou withstood the pressure and, relying on the exceptional performance of the Blazing Roaring Tiger, narrowly defeated her opponent with a score of 3:2.

The suspense of this final match was left until the final playoff.

The doubles match ended without any suspense, and Kyoto University won another match, bringing the final score to 3-3.

Point Guard Here

The final battle has finally arrived.

...

Xia Shen calmly got up and walked onto the stage.

How could he not know the opponent's tactics?

Are you trying to wear down my main Pokémon with a series of attacks?

Feeling the warm, smooth keystone pressed against his skin, Xia Shen smiled slightly.

Then feel free to give it a try!

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

Chapter 244 Super Evolution, the Shark's Gone Mad! (11,000 words!)

After the Heatran incident, Garchomp, which briefly reached the level of a second-tier god, has made a significant leap forward in its normal state.

It's not a leap forward in terms of energy level.

Even now, Garchomp's energy level is only 58.

Since its evolution last September, Garchomp has only increased by ten levels in eight months.

This is even with Xia Shen having an extra half-day of secret realm time almost every day.

The difficulty of increasing energy levels after level 50 is evident.

However, while its energy level didn't increase significantly, Garchomp made substantial progress in aspects that weren't reflected in the data, such as its understanding of moves, physical strength, affinity for Dragon-type energy, and the speed of energy flow within its body.

In terms of strength, Ye Rou's experienced professional level 5 Mighty Pokémon is no match for Garchomp.

However, Xia Shen had no idea how much of a gap there was between his Pokémon and the ace Pokémon Salamence of the captain of Beijing University.

Since the start of this tournament, Salamence has appeared three times and defeated nine enemies.

In every match he played, Salamence achieved a 1v3 victory.

Moreover, in the video, it was impossible to tell that he had used his full strength.

His other two main Pokémon are also formidable opponents.

A Dragonite that fought tooth and nail against the ace Pokémon of the captain of Nandu University in the semi-finals.

And a Charizard, which, while not quite as good as its two older counterparts, still managed to defeat three opponents in the quarterfinals.

That's right, Jiang Shan, the captain of the Kyoto University team, is a Flying... no, a Dragon-type specialist trainer.

Xia Shen is also a trainer with extensive experience in raising Dragon-type Pokémon.

In just over two years, he managed to train two late-blooming pseudo-dragon-type Pokémon to almost reach the level of a professional sixth dan, which speaks volumes.

Unfortunately, Goodra's form was completely depleted in the main battle; otherwise, there would have been four Dragon-type Pokémon in the decisive final match.

This has caused countless Dragon-type Pokémon trainers and enthusiasts to cheer with joy.

This is the case even on the stage that best represents the future of Chinese Pokémon. Does this mean that the spring of Dragon-type Pokémon is about to return?

…………

Perhaps influenced by the atmosphere of the battlefield, a faint smell of gunpowder permeated the studio.

The two schools' distinguished alumni have been exchanging sarcastic remarks and insults since the first game.

This was the first time the audience had ever seen such a novel thing as the Heavenly Kings arguing.

In most people's impressions and perceptions, superstars are just emotionless training machines.

I never imagined that in real life, they're no different from ordinary people like us!

So even during the boring intervals between matches, they still chatted enthusiastically in the live chat.

At that moment, Wang Tianwang took a sip of tea, stretched leisurely, and sighed, "I need to stretch these old bones a bit, lest I embarrass myself during the awards ceremony later."

Li Xiang did not argue, but simply smiled and shook his head without saying a word.

Wang Tianwang glanced at the Steel-type Heavenly King, who seemed quite dismissive, and chuckled, "It seems that Li Tianwang has other opinions?"

Li Xiang replied casually, "It's not so much an insight, but I feel that sometimes you can't speak too definitively."

It's no wonder that Wang Tianwang is so confident, not to mention the slight difference in overall strength.

Looking solely at the type advantage/disadvantage of Pokémon, Jiang Shan has three Flying-type Pokémon dominating the field, while Xia Shen's two main Pokémon are both Ground-type.

Even if I were in that situation, I might not have an easy time winning.

Furthermore, both flying dragons and earth dragons are four times weaker than ice.

Xia Shen's Pokémon doesn't know a single Ice-type move, while Jiang Shan's Dragonite at least knows Ice Beam.

Wang Tianwang truly couldn't imagine how Xia Shen could win.

If it weren't for the fact that it would seem too arrogant, he would have liked to just shout that sentence out loud—

"How can we lose when the dragon is charging in!"

But Li Xiang's calm demeanor made him feel inexplicably guilty.

Could Xia Shen be hiding some secret weapon?

After thinking it over, the only way he could turn the tide was if he suddenly pulled out a Ninetales, which was at least at the professional level of rank 5.

But thinking about it, that's unlikely. He's only been in the industry for two years, and he's already built a complete team of Pokémon.

They also trained a "legendary beast" called Arcanine, which greatly shocked the entire Pokémon world.

Could it possibly hide another Pokémon of equal strength?

If that's the case, then Peking University will have truly accepted its defeat this time.

------

The decisive game to determine the champion started at almost 10 o'clock.

But the enthusiasm of the audience at the scene did not diminish at all, and the popularity of the online live broadcast also continued to rise.

Will the old king rule, or will a new king ascend the throne?

This decisive battle, representing the future of the Chinese Pokémon world, has attracted the attention of countless Pokémon battle enthusiasts in China.

At this moment, the two people regarded by the outside world as the glory of China's new generation of Dragon-type trainers stood on the edge of this ordinary rocky battlefield, waiting for the battle to begin.
