The Chapter get Retranslated
"Emboar, you've worked hard. Come back and rest well."
Xiao Luoxue recalled her fainted Emboar, then unhesitatingly sent out Garchomp.
The appearance of another quasi-legendary Pokémon once again triggered a round of cheers.
"Roaring Moon, use Dragon Rush."
"Garchomp, we'll use Dragon Rush too."
Who fears a head-on clash? Her Garchomp was not weaker than Lin Yuefeng's Roaring Moon; on the contrary, Xiao Luoxue's Garchomp was stronger in terms of pure power.
A third-tier Quasi-Elite Four against a first-tier Quasi-Elite Four, the strength advantage was too great.
The two quasi-legendary Pokémon collided, and the strong airflow they kicked up scraped off a layer of the arena's turf. Garchomp stood proudly in the air, while Roaring Moon had already crashed to the ground.
"Garchomp, pursue relentlessly. Don't give it a chance to counterattack. Use Dragon Claw."
Diving down from the air, a single Dragon Claw sent the recovering Roaring Moon flying again. Roaring Moon looked pained.
Garchomp's attack, along with the burn status caused by Emboar, was still in effect. It could be said that Garchomp was already in an unbeatable position.
"Roaring Moon, get up!"
Lin Yuefeng shouted, his eyes bloodshot, as he looked at the Roaring Moon lying on the ground.
His goal was to defeat Jiang Chen, but he hadn't even touched Jiang Chen before being defeated by Xiao Luoxue. Lin Yuefeng couldn't accept it.
"You don't have a chance."
Xiao Luoxue certainly wouldn't watch Roaring Moon get up. She had Garchomp use Dragon Pulse, and a sphere of destructive power struck Roaring Moon.
"Roaring Moon is unable to battle."
The referee announced indifferently.
Lin Yuefeng stood with a grim expression.
From the moment Xiao Luoxue sent out Garchomp, he had been utterly dominated, without a single chance to retaliate.
Now that his strongest ace was unable to battle, the chance of defeating Xiao Luoxue could no longer be described as slim; it was simply impossible.
"Player Lin Yuefeng, please send out your next Pokémon," the referee reminded Lin Yuefeng.
Lin Yuefeng made no move. Seeing his inaction, the referee frowned. "Player Lin Yuefeng, please send out your next Pokémon, or you will be disqualified."
"What's going on? Has Player Lin Yuefeng been stunned? He's still not sending out his next Pokémon."
The commentator was also puzzled by this scene.
"The Capital's Number One Bullshitter, got stunned."
"I heard he went to trash talk Jiang Chen earlier, but he didn't even get a chance to battle Jiang Chen."
"He should be grateful, otherwise, wouldn't he have been utterly crushed?"
From the stands, jeers erupted. Lin Yuefeng had been a bit too high-profile before, and combined with his crowd of brainless supporters, he had made quite a few enemies. Naturally, there were many people mocking him at this moment.
Fortunately, the mockery from the stands didn't reach the arena, otherwise, Lin Yuefeng might have vomited blood.
"Alas, the referee has announced that because Player Lin Yuefeng repeatedly failed to send out a Pokémon, he has been disqualified from the competition."
At this moment, the commentator announced.
No one had anticipated that this much-anticipated battle would end so anticlimactically.
"He's afraid to continue, afraid to lose." Xiao Luoxue glanced at Lin Yuefeng disdainfully. Such a person wasn't even qualified to be her opponent.
Xiao Luoxue's words reached Lin Yuefeng's ears. Lin Yuefeng's face turned ashen, but he couldn't retort.
He was indeed afraid to lose. Because of Jiang Chen's "Capital's Number One Bullshitter" comment, he had already lost most of his face. If he were to lose to Xiao Luoxue again, he would never be able to hold his head high for the rest of his life.
Being disqualified now was also a loss, but he hadn't been completely defeated, at least he could claim to outsiders that he wasn't in good condition.
Although the defeat was certain, as long as he didn't admit it, and since the battle wasn't completely finished, he wouldn't have truly lost if he was thick-skinned enough.
"The battle isn't over, how can you say I definitely lost? I just wasn't feeling well."
Lin Yuefeng thought he was being clever, but in reality, countless people were cursing him.
"Why aren't you happy even after winning?"
Jiang Chen left the stands and asked Xiao Luoxue, who looked displeased.
"His ace was already defeated by me. I could have completely crushed him next, but that guy got himself disqualified. Of course, I'm not happy! The chance to utterly crush that Lin Yuefeng is gone just like that."
Xiao Luoxue was well aware of Lin Yuefeng's capabilities. After Roaring Moon lost its ability to battle, her Garchomp could easily sweep through Lin Yuefeng's other Pokémon.
"That guy definitely did it on purpose."
"Exactly, he must have done it on purpose." Jiang Chen agreed with Xiao Luoxue's guess.
Jiang Chen had even guessed the reason for Lin Yuefeng's actions, but he couldn't be bothered to care.
After today's four matches, the top eight contestants had been decided.
"The chances of us meeting next are too high."
With eight people left, the possibility of them facing each other was significant.
"If I run into you, then it's just bad luck, I guess."
Ling Wanqiu was very calm. If she really encountered Jiang Chen, there was nothing she could do. It was a matter of luck, and who could predict luck?
In any case, having made it this far, even if she unluckily lost to Jiang Chen, Ling Wanqiu wouldn't feel regret.
After today's matches, Jiang Chen and the others returned. After training their Pokémon, Jiang Chen rested.
"System, perform check-in."
[Ding, check-in successful! Congratulations to host for obtaining: Metagrossite X1, points +100!]
"My luck is good today. At least it's not a berry this time."
The items obtained from check-ins these past few days were either berries or money, but these things were completely useless to Jiang Chen.
"Young master, breakfast is ready."
Ning Ya knocked on the door and called out.
"Got it, Sister Ning Ya."
After washing up, Jiang Chen sat at the dining table. Not long after, a sleepy Xiao Luoxue came over and sat beside Jiang Chen.
"Breakfast is so rich, thank you, Sister Ning Ya."
Looking at the lavish breakfast on the table, Xiao Luoxue thanked Ning Ya.
Upon arriving at the Tianhai Pokémon Arena, the opponents were decided by drawing lots. Xiao Luoxue and Ling Wanqiu had good luck; their opponents were not Jiang Chen.
And they didn't even encounter each other.
However, Jiang Chen's opponent was quite strong. He drew Chen Xiu, who was ranked fourth on the Strongest New Trainer Ranking.
This ranking had some authority.
Jiang Chen and Chen Xiu's match was in the afternoon. In the morning, Ling Wanqiu had a battle with another girl, which Ling Wanqiu naturally won very easily.
Everyone could now see that the final champion would likely be among Jiang Chen, Ling Wanqiu, and Xiao Luoxue.
Because their battles were won too easily.
In the afternoon, during Jiang Chen and Chen Xiu's match, Jiang Chen's support rate was naturally the highest.
"Both players have entered the arena. This battle should be a fierce struggle. Who will advance to the semifinals? Let's wait and see."
After the commentator's incessant introduction, Jiang Chen and Chen Xiu had already sent out their Pokémon.
"Is that a female Meowstic?"
Chen Xiu glanced at the female Meowstic Jiang Chen sent out and frowned slightly. He had collected a lot of information about Jiang Chen, but he really didn't know much about female Meowstic.
Normally, Jiang Chen rarely used a female Meowstic in battle.
However, this didn't mean that the female Meowstic's strength was weak.
"Charizard, use Flamethrower."
"Female Meowstic, use Teleport to dodge."
Instantly, the female Meowstic's figure disappeared, reappearing behind Charizard.
"Oh my! This female Meowstic can use Teleport?"
The commentator had a shocked expression.
As a commentator, he certainly had a thorough understanding of Pokémon data, but he had never seen a female Meowstic that could use Teleport, nor had he heard that female Meowstic could learn Teleport.
A normal female Meowstic indeed couldn't learn Teleport, but Jiang Chen possessed a Mystic Plate, and if he could make Metagross learn Teleport, couldn't he also make his female Meowstic master Teleport?
After appearing behind Charizard, the female Meowstic used Psyshock, sending Charizard flying.
"Boom~!"
A few seconds later, Charizard struggled to its feet from the ground.
Although the female Meowstic was not large, Charizard felt immense pressure from it.
"Charizard, fly up!"
Chen Xiu shouted to Charizard.
Jiang Chen looked up at the flying Charizard, then commanded, "Female Meowstic, use Confusion to pull Charizard down."
Invisible psychic power pulled at Charizard's body, then directly dragged Charizard down, smashing it onto the ground.
Charizard let out a cry of pain, then was sent flying again by Extrasensory.
After several consecutive attacks, Charizard was almost unable to hold on.
"This female Meowstic's oppressive presence is too strong. As expected of Player Jiang Chen's Pokémon. It's rumored that Player Jiang Chen is most skilled with Psychic-type Pokémon," the commentator said.
"Too strong. Chen Xiu's Charizard isn't weak, is it? Yet it's being completely dominated by female Meowstic."
"It seems there's no suspense in this match. I just wonder if Chen Xiu has the ability to defeat even one of Jiang Chen's Pokémon."
Since the start of this New Trainer Competition, Jiang Chen had yet to have a single Pokémon defeated.
"Female Meowstic, use Psychic."
After dodging a Blast Burn with a Teleport, it directly used Psychic, easily sending Charizard away.
"This is too frustrating."
Chen Xiu knew Jiang Chen was a formidable opponent, but he never expected the battle to be so stifling.
He hadn't touched the female Meowstic once throughout the entire battle; Teleport was quite annoying.
"Charizard is unable to battle. Please send out your next Pokémon."
The referee reminded a frustrated Chen Xiu.
"Go, Froslass."
The Froslass, which looked like it was wearing a kimono, floated in mid-air, exuding a chilly aura.
"Player Chen Xiu brings out Froslass, which has a type advantage against Psychic-types. I wonder if he can win."
"Female Meowstic, use Shadow Ball," Jiang Chen shouted to his female Meowstic.
Female Meowstic also knew a Ghost-type move.
A dark, shadowy orb suddenly slammed into Froslass. The speed was too fast for Froslass to dodge, and it was hit directly by Shadow Ball.
Just as Jiang Chen was about to press his advantage, he found that Froslass had been knocked out instantly by Shadow Ball.
"You call that Froslass weak?"
He hadn't checked Froslass's strength earlier, but now using Probe Eye, he discovered that this Froslass was only a third-tier Elite-level.
A third-tier Elite-level Froslass facing a first-tier Quasi-Elite Four female Meowstic? That was practically serving itself on a platter.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Chen Xiu's face.
His Froslass was indeed a bit weak. He used Froslass because it had a type advantage against Psychic-types, but before it could even make a move, it was instantly defeated.
The commentator was also a bit speechless, never expecting Chen Xiu's Froslass to be knocked out right after it appeared. He had even had some expectations just a moment ago.
The female Meowstic looked at Chen Xiu with an elegant yet somewhat arrogant gaze, waiting for him to send out his next Pokémon.
"This female Meowstic is really annoying, a bit too arrogant."
Looking at the proud female Meowstic, Chen Xiu felt a bit uncomfortable.
Actually, it wasn't that female Meowstic looked down on Chen Xiu; it simply had that inherent demeanor. While male Meowstic were more agreeable, female Meowstic naturally exuded an air of arrogance.
"Ursaring, come out."
Ursaring was a brown, bipedal bear with a circle on its abdomen. Its eyes were sharp, and its claws gleamed with cold light.
"Ursaring, charge and use Hammer Arm!"
"Female Meowstic, use Confusion."
Ursaring, which was about to charge, felt as if its body was encountering resistance, unable to reach the female Meowstic.
"This Confusion is too strong."
Chen Xiu frowned tightly. He had his own pride; he couldn't afford to be swept one-sidedly.
"Your Ursaring isn't strong enough."
Probe Eye could detect this Ursaring's strength: a ninth-tier Elite-level. It was impossible to defeat the female Meowstic.
First, Psyshock, then Extrasensory. Two moves directly knocked Ursaring out, giving it no chance to even approach the female Meowstic.
Even if it did charge, the female Meowstic could Teleport, so Ursaring wouldn't be able to hit it anyway.
"A clean sweep, defeating three Pokémon in a row. This female Meowstic is not only cute in appearance but also incredibly powerful," the commentator exclaimed.
"It seems I'll have to bring out my ace. Go, Volcarona."
Seeing Volcarona, Jiang Chen's face showed surprise. This was an extremely rare Pokémon.
Volcarona was a Bug/Fire-type Pokémon with blue eyes and a pair of red antennae circling its cheeks.
It had three pairs of orange-red wings on its back, representing the sun, and black spots distributed on its wings and outer abdomen, representing sunspots.
Legend says that Volcarona was born from a fiercely burning cocoon. When the ground turned black from volcanic ash, its flames would take the place of the sun, making it revered as the incarnation of the sun.
In terms of rarity, Volcarona was even rarer and more uncommon than a quasi-legendary Pokémon.
"It's Volcarona! It's an honor to see a Pokémon even rarer than a quasi-legendary! And Bug-type happens to be super effective against Psychic-type. Player Chen Xiu has a chance to win this battle!"
The commentator was thrilled.
Volcarona was not only rare but also very powerful.
"Volcarona, use Bug Buzz."
This was a sound-based attack, almost impossible to defend against or dodge. The female Meowstic felt uncomfortable after being hit.
"Female Meowstic, use Psybeam."
"Quickly dodge, Volcarona!"
This Volcarona was very fast and reactive. Because the Psybeam was launched from a relatively far distance, it gave Volcarona enough space to react, successfully dodging the incoming Psybeam.
While dodging the attack, it also released a Blast Burn towards the female Meowstic. Fortunately, the female Meowstic used Teleport to dodge it.
