Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

What else can I say... Xia Shen really knows how to fight.

Now that Salamence's speed and attack have been almost halved, it will definitely not be a match for the Garchomp that will come up later.

Jiang Shan really wanted Salamence to use Rest to remove these negative status effects, but Salamence is currently in a Taunted state and cannot use status moves at all.

Helpless, Jiang Shan could only have Salamence use Meteor Shower in an attempt to end Zoroark, which had been causing him so much trouble.

She dared not let the Zoroark remain on the field any longer; who knew what else Xia Shen had prepared for her?

Fortunately, Zoroark doesn't know the "Farewell Gift" move, otherwise his blood pressure would have been even higher.

But just as a meteor shower was hurtling down on Zoroark, who had nowhere to hide,...

The purple-haired fox demon dodged the almost fatal meteor shower with a perfectly timed rapid turn.

Meanwhile, the real Garchomp took its place.

On the cratered surface created by the powerful meteor shower, a massive, deep blue dragon shark stood silently.

Unlike the previous "fakes", the real Garchomp has a more aloof and detached air about it.

But what's even more eye-catching than his aura is the very conspicuous belt wrapped around his waist.

But because of the camera's angle and position, no one noticed.

At the very center of the belt is a small, exquisite gemstone, its interior inlaid with a pattern of interwoven deep blue and orange-red.

Even Jiang Shan, due to the distance, didn't notice this thing, which was enough to make all the trainers breathe heavily...

Garchomp Mega Stone!

…………

On the battlefield, the flames of war are ignited once more.

Facing a Salamence whose physical attack, speed, and even special attack were greatly reduced due to the Meteor Shower, Garchomp unleashed a spirited sword dance.

Jiang Shan didn't hesitate to replace Salamence with his slightly weaker Dragonite.

And since it was Dragonite that appeared, unsurprisingly...

"Dragonite, Ice Beam!"

A second later, a chilling beam of icy light shot out from the mouth of the Dragonite that had just emerged from its Poké Ball.

The target was Garchomp, which had just completed its Swords Dance.

Garchomp withstood the freezing beam without flinching.

It's not that it doesn't hurt, but as an earth dragon, I've long been used to it.

Just as humans, through natural evolution and the development of various vaccines, are able to resist many viruses with their own immune system.

After enduring Ice-type moves for so long, Garchomp is almost numb to them anymore.

However, the most basic pain is still present.

Garchomp bared its teeth and gave the Dragonite in front of it a smile that only it could understand.

You like ice beams, don't you?

Your happiness for today ends here!

……

"Garuda, Mega Evolution!"

Since the start of the match, Xia Shen, who had been silent, finally spoke.

His loud voice was faithfully recorded by the cameras around him and transmitted to the scene and to every viewer watching the live broadcast.

Everyone was stunned.

What is that?

What Xia Shen just said... was it super evolution?

In the National Championship, a high-level tournament for baby pets, a super evolution that usually only occurs in high-level professional competitions has appeared?

The professional director was the first to react to Xia Shen's shocking words, and he immediately switched the camera to split screen and show Garchomp and Xia Shen.

The viewers, slowly regaining their senses, then saw on the screen that Xia Shen was placing his fingers on his chest, touching the keystone whose light was gradually becoming brighter!

Meanwhile, the small evolution stone inside Garchomp's belt, which had previously been overlooked by everyone, was now bursting with a dazzling deep blue aurora!

The brilliant light emanating from Xia Shen's chest and the deep blue aurora shining from Garchomp's waist converged and merged in the sky above them.

Then, the Mega Evolution Light, containing magical energy, enveloped Garchomp.

To everyone's disbelief, Garchomp's form kept changing.

The entire East Capital Pokémon Arena seemed to be filled only with Garchomp's exhilarating roar.

There was no further noise.

Even the two kings who had been leisurely commentating on the battle in the studio fell silent.

However, Wang Tianwang stared in disbelief at the Mega Garchomp on the screen, which was about to complete its evolution.

Li Xiang, however, smiled appreciatively as he watched Xia Shen, the other protagonist on the screen, with his earnest eyes.

People are not unfamiliar with rare mega-evolutions, nor are they amazed by the extremely rare Mega Garchomp.

After all, even if there are only a few, the Mega Garchomp has left behind many exciting match videos, and most viewers who are Pokémon battle enthusiasts have seen it to some extent.

But a Pokémon that's not even at the sixth professional level... no, it's not even at the sixth professional level, has completed a Mega Evolution?

This completely overturned so many years and generations of research on elves!

At this moment, the audience, finally recovering from their shock, suddenly erupted into a loud and boisterous clamor.

Everyone is talking about this Super Garchomp, which appeared out of nowhere in an incredible way!

…………

"Holy crap, I thought the Jade Golem was already the biggest surprise of this national tournament, but I didn't expect there to be a Mega Garchomp!"

"All-powerful! Is there anything Xia Shen can't do? I would call him a miracle worker!"

"There's nothing Xia Shen can't do, only things you haven't thought of. Today, I'll show you guys a Mega Evolution of Garchomp!"

"I thought I was mentally prepared for Xia Shen's matches, but I was still shocked. I don't think I'd be surprised if a legendary Pokémon popped out of Xia Shen's Poké Ball one day..."

"With the appearance of Super Garchomp, shouldn't we declare the champion early?"

In the live chat, all sorts of comments praising Xia Shen appeared one after another, and some even announced in advance that the champion had arrived.

But Xia Shen knew that winning this battle was not as simple as outsiders imagined.

For the same reason, time constraints.

In the past two months, Garchomp's Mega Evolution time has improved somewhat, but it has only just broken the one-minute barrier.

A minute later, all Xia Shen had left was a Garchomp in its normal state, along with a bunch of old, weak, and disabled creatures.

Although he sacrificed Zoroark to severely damage it, forcing the opponent's strongest Salamence to temporarily retreat.

However, it is still quite difficult to defeat three of the opponent's Pokémon at their peak within one minute.

As the most dazzling jewel in the crown of Beijing University, Jiang Shan's strength is even greater than that clown whose name brings bad luck.

At least this Dragonite's strength is about the same as his ace Tyranitar.

However, Dragonite with the [Multiscale] ability is not as easy to deal with as Tyranitar.

Unlike last time when he performed the sword dance twice, Xia Shen only let Garchomp perform the sword dance once to leave himself some room to maneuver.

Therefore, the difficulty of pushing the team is much higher than last time.

…………

Pulling himself back to reality, Xia Shen issued his first command after Mega Evolution.

"Garuda, Sandstorm!"

After Mega Evolution, the [Sand Power] ability can't be wasted.

Since Tyranitar didn't have the sandstorm effect from last time, Xia Shen chose to have Garchomp manually activate the sandstorm weather.

Weather moves have always been an important way to test a Pokémon's type affinity and energy flow speed.

This was Garchomp's strength after the Slate was activated, let alone its current Mega Evolution state.

In just one second, the sandstorm that would normally take a level 5 professional elf at least two seconds to form was already rising up in the arena.

The rough, flying sand and stones instantly covered the area, obscuring Jiang Shan's view.

"Dragonite, give it a push!"

He casually told Dragonite to retreat first, using this time to force himself to calm down and think about how to deal with this powerful Garchomp.

At that instant, Garchomp also moved.

Without wasting any time, he did not wait for the rock fragments carrying rock-based energy to slowly wear him down in the sandstorm.

It exhaled a breath of dragon's breath, destroying the multiple scales protecting the Dragonite's surface.

The moment the dragon's breath touched the surface of the Dragonite, its claws were instantly stained with dark green.

Two phantom dragon claws, each longer than a Garchomp's arm, suddenly emerged from its fingertips.

The protrusion overhead emitted sound waves, locking onto the large creature as it frantically fled through the sandstorm.

I am the king of the sandstorms, how dare you act so presumptuously here?

With its feet lightly touching the ground, Garchomp, with only a pair of fins, easily caught up with the Dragonite that was flapping its wings with its own super explosive power and physical attributes.

The Garchomp's burst speed when it leaps up is so fast that it creates a powerful airflow that forms a small dust tornado around it!

Compared to Garchomp, Dragonite is simply not fast enough.

Without a doubt, the captured Fatty will face this terrifying dragon claw that terrifies dragon-type Pokémon to the extreme.

…………

The intense tearing sensation and the pain of energy erosion at the wings contorted Dragonite's face into a mask of agony.

Her piercing screams echoed from the sandstorm, further unsettling the already agitated Jiangshan.
