Chapter 204 - Chapter 204: I'm Respecting My Opponent

"My Hydreigon actually can't defeat this Milotic."

Now, Avril suddenly found that her Hydreigon was starting to lose to Milotic.

There was absolutely nothing she could do about this Milotic. Just now, Hydreigon's wild bombardment failed to make Milotic lose its battle capability.

Unless Hydreigon could exhaust Milotic to the point where it couldn't hold on, otherwise, she was really going to lose.

"Continue attacking, use Water Gun again."

After continuously using moves, Milotic was indeed very tired, but dealing with this Hydreigon was still not a problem. Milotic's strength was actually stronger than Hydreigon's.

Water Gun, Hyper Beam, Water Pulse, and other moves were used continuously. Just now, Hydreigon used Dragon Pulse, Tri Attack, and Hyper Beam against Milotic. Now their colors were reversed.

After tanking for three minutes, Hydreigon lost its battle capability.

"Milotic wins! Please send out your next Pokémon." The referee confirmed that Hydreigon had lost its battle capability, and his gaze shifted to Avril.

Avril recalled the incapacitated Hydreigon, and Jiang Chen also recalled Milotic.

"Come back, Milotic. Come back and rest."

Although Milotic was still capable of continuing the battle, if the opponent were to use a pseudo-god Pokémon of Heavenly King strength, Milotic would probably not be able to win.

Jiang Chen also didn't want Milotic to suffer, so he directly recalled Milotic.

"Gardevoir."

Seeing Jiang Chen recall Milotic, Gardevoir's eyes immediately lit up, and it called out to Jiang Chen.

Milotic was recalled, so it was time for it to enter the arena. Gardevoir especially wanted to participate.

"Then you go into the arena, Gardevoir."

Jiang Chen nodded, agreeing.

Jiang Chen, who doted on Gardevoir, rarely refused Gardevoir.

Seeing Gardevoir floating gracefully on the water field, Avril almost wanted to surrender directly.

Noticing the change in Avril's expression, Jiang Chen said with a chuckle, "To go all out, you probably don't mind, do you?"

"It's useless even if I mind."

Avril's tone carried a hint of resentment.

Then she released her strongest Pokémon, Metagross. She couldn't really surrender, could she? If she surrendered, it would be a joke.

To this day, no one has surrendered in the Dragon Cup Training Competition. Avril didn't want to be the first.

"Metagross, Mega Evolve."

As soon as Metagross came out, Avril immediately had Metagross Mega Evolve. She felt that after Mega Evolving, it could at least fight for a bit. Without Mega Evolving, it would be directly defeated.

"Mega Evolved Metagross. I wonder if we can see Gardevoir's Mega Evolution. I heard Mega Evolved Gardevoir is beautiful. Can we see it today?"

The commentator looked expectantly at Gardevoir.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen had no intention of making Gardevoir Mega Evolve. The main reason was that there was no need; after all, it would be a one-shot knockout for Metagross.

Even without Mega Evolution, it could still be one-shotted. Why bother? How could a human see Gardevoir's Mega Stone?

Jiang Chen wouldn't bother with such displays.

Facing the Mega Evolved Metagross, Gardevoir simply used Psychic. A terrifying psychic energy wave. Anyone with psychic abilities could feel that terrifying energy wave.

Unfortunately, not everyone could feel it. People with psychic abilities were always a minority.

Psychic is not a particularly strong move, but this move depends on who uses it. When Gardevoir used it, even Mega Metagross would be knocked out in one hit.

Facing the impact of psychic power, Mega Metagross simply couldn't withstand it and was instantly paralyzed.

"Was it knocked out in one hit?"

Avril's expression was desolate.

"Well done, Gardevoir. I forgive you for what happened before."

Xiao Luoxue, after seeing Gardevoir display its might, couldn't help but exclaim loudly.

"Jiang Chen, you're not giving me any face at all. You just directly brought out a Pokémon I can't possibly defeat."

After Avril recovered, her tone was filled with endless resentment.

Her strongest Pokémon was knocked out in one hit, let alone her other Pokémon. Her own fate was already visible: a crushing defeat.

"I'm respecting you as an opponent, that's why I let Gardevoir participate." Jiang Chen explained.

"Is that so?"

Avril looked at Jiang Chen suspiciously, then sighed faintly, "I'd rather you didn't respect me, I'm just a small fry, not worth your respectful attention."

She wanted to say, 'Please don't respect me,' losing was too miserable. She felt even more miserable than those who were eliminated by Jiang Chen before.

Xiao Luoxue, who had said behind her back that she wasn't a good woman, also defeated two of Jiang Chen's Pokémon, which resulted in Xiao Luoxue losing but with a decent evaluation.

Although Avril also knew that the reason Jiang Chen's two Pokémon were defeated was mainly because he went easy on them.

But why couldn't he go easy on her? Could it be that she was not as good as Xiao Luoxue? Avril certainly didn't think she was worse than Xiao Luoxue.

"Metagross has lost its battle capability. It will rest for ten minutes and then be ready to fight again."

The referee spoke.

These ten minutes of rest were a kind of torture for Avril, because even if she rested for a day, she couldn't find a way to defeat Jiang Chen's Gardevoir.

Even bringing out a Pokémon with a type advantage against Gardevoir wouldn't work, because Gardevoir overwhelmed with sheer power.

Unless she could bring out a Pokémon with strength comparable to Gardevoir's, the key was that Avril didn't have one.

After ten minutes, the match continued. Avril reluctantly sent out Golurk.

Golurk could also Mega Evolve, but Avril didn't have a Metagrossite. Mega Stones were not that easy to obtain.

Request fresh flowers.

Moreover, there was no difference between Mega Evolution and not Mega Evolving. Even after Mega Evolution, it still couldn't withstand Gardevoir's attack.

It was still Psychic. Metagross was overwhelmed by the psychic attack.

"It's down again."

Avril could only recall Metagross. Then Avril sent out Haxorus.

This water battlefield was quite good for Avril. Avril had three Water-type Pokémon.

Her luck in drawing the battlefield was good, but her luck in drawing her opponent was not.

However, even if Avril's opponent were someone else, she might not necessarily win.

This time, Gardevoir didn't use Psychic, but used Moonblast.

The move used was different, but the final result was the same. One Moonblast knocked out Haxorus in a single hit. Avril only had one Pokémon left.

Her last Pokémon was Snorlax. A water field was simply not suitable for Snorlax. The floating boards were already shattered, and Snorlax had no place to stand.

...

But even with floating boards, it might not be able to bear Snorlax's terrifying weight.

Although some Snorlax can swim, swimming Snorlax are still a minority, and this Snorlax cannot swim.

"So she also has a Snorlax."

Xiao Luoxue stared at Avril's Snorlax for a while. This Snorlax's strength was much stronger than Xiao Luoxue's Snorlax.

But Xiao Luoxue's Snorlax still had room to grow. After being strict with it for a while, Snorlax also trained very hard.

"With Snorlax's resistance ability, I wonder if it can withstand one hit."

"It definitely can't. If this Snorlax's strength reached the Heavenly King level, perhaps there's a possibility it could withstand one hit from Gardevoir. But Snorlax is only Heavenly King Tier 9."

Duan Wanqiu directly shook her head. Unless Gardevoir went easy, Snorlax couldn't even withstand one hit.

But even if Gardevoir didn't attack, Snorlax would still lose its battle capability. The water field was quite deep, and Snorlax couldn't swim, so it would lose its battle capability by drowning.

Gardevoir certainly wouldn't wait patiently for Snorlax to drown and lose its battle capability. It directly used Moonblast on Snorlax.

Indeed, even Snorlax, which could act as a meat shield, couldn't withstand Gardevoir's single hit.

"Snorlax has lost its battle capability. All of Avril's Pokémon have lost their battle capability. Gardevoir wins!"

After Snorlax lost its battle capability, the referee announced.

"Hurry up and come back, Snorlax."

Avril quickly recalled Snorlax. She already knew the outcome would definitely be a loss to Jiang Chen, so Avril could also accept it.

It was just that this loss was too tragic. After Gardevoir entered the arena, it was a complete one-shot knockout for everyone.
