Chapter 468: Name of the Tyrant
"Sand? Sandstorm?"
The Huaxia University students were stunned, looking at the huge hole over a meter wide. Inside, it was a hazy yellow patch, and visibility was very, very poor.
However, compared to during the battle, this visibility was already quite good; at least the situation in the hall could be seen roughly. Because with the outbreak of the full-force attack, Tyranitar used all its energy for the attack, reducing the energy for sand control, so the intensity of the sandstorm naturally decreased.
"What Pokémon is that? Such a huge body!"
As the sandstorm weakened, everyone's sight finally penetrated the layers of yellow sand barriers and involuntarily fell on the huge body in the center of the field.
"It seems... it seems to be the Desert Tyrant, Tyranitar!"
Although it was only a silhouette, the Huaxia University students were knowledgeable, and recognizing Pokémon by silhouette was a piece of cake.
"So, the Stone Edge just now was used by this Tyranitar? Could it be a Gym Leader-level Tyranitar?"
"Probably not Gym Leader-level. The destructive power of a Gym Leader-level pseudo-legendary is obviously much stronger than this! I estimate it should be a top-tier Pro-level Tyranitar. Relying on the super-strong abilities inherent in the pseudo-legendary bloodline, a full-force strike could barely reach the level comparable to a Gym Leader-level strike."
A mature-looking student voiced his judgment. As a senior student, he was about to graduate and enter society, planning to participate in the professional league. Therefore, he had a clear understanding of the destructive power of trainers at various levels of the Professional rank.
"Holy crap!"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Everyone, look at that Pokémon stuck in the wall that can't be pried out! It looks like the pseudo-legendary Dragonite!"
"Dragonite? Where, where?"
Everyone was shocked.
So this Tyranitar's opponent was a Dragonite, also a pseudo-legendary? A battle of this level was extremely rare even in the First Division League.
"So if both pseudo-legendaries are Pro-level, the opposing parties definitely aren't teachers."
"The opposing parties are very likely big shots from the school team. However, I haven't heard of anyone in the school team having a pseudo-legendary Tyranitar? As for Dragonite, I haven't heard of it either. I do know about Long Feiyu's Salamence."
"Guessing all day long, the answer is right in front of our eyes. Just go down and see who it is, and it'll be over. I'm going first!"
"Going together, going together!"
After looking at each other, everyone immediately scrambled to squeeze in through the huge hole to see the identities of the battling parties clearly.
"Who is this kid? Why haven't I seen him before! Eh? Isn't that pale-faced kid over there the prominent figure of the sophomore year, Xia Tian?"
"Wait a minute, why does this person look very familiar? Damn, I remember now! That kid is the genius trainer of South River University, also a sophomore, Basalt, who won the MVP crown of the Second Division League in the first half of the year. I knew he had a pseudo-legendary transition form Pupitar, so now Pupitar has evolved into Tyranitar?"
"Then according to what you said, doesn't that mean this Dragonite belongs to Xia Tian? What kind of perverts are these two? They actually raised fully evolved pseudo-legendaries in their sophomore year!"
While the Huaxia University students were shocked, they were also discussing animatedly.
Regarding this, Xia Tian involuntarily frowned. Because he really didn't like being looked at and pointed at like a monkey. And more crucially, having never tasted defeat among his peers since his debut, he had actually lost two matches in a row.
Although a complete match is 6v6, and his ace Pokémon "Talonflame" and others hadn't appeared yet, so if they continued to fight, the final outcome was still unknown.
"Basalt, let's end this match here for now!"
Xia Tian sighed, looking at Basalt and whispering, "I will take Dragonite back to the clan grounds to accept the inheritance. Next time, I hope we can have a satisfying battle!"
After speaking, Xia Tian recalled Dragonite and released a Xatu. Using Teleport, Xia Tian and Xatu disappeared directly.
"Just leaving me here alone?"
Basalt's mouth twitched violently. This Xia Tian was really not a decent thing!
"Damn! Tyranitar's Head Smash just blew up the battle hall; Huaxia University won't make me pay for it, right?"
The more Basalt thought about it, the more wrong it felt. Crucially, none of his Pokémon knew "Teleport," so slipping away was very inconvenient. Because after that guy Xia Tian ran away, nearly a hundred eyes in the entire hall were staring at him now.
"As long as I'm not awkward, the awkward ones are others!"
Basalt chanted a few times in his heart, then openly recalled Tyranitar and released Bronzong to soar into the sky and run away. Fortunately, the people of Huaxia University didn't stop him and involuntarily made a path.
This was all the fierce prestige brought by Tyranitar!
Watching Basalt's retreating figure, a Huaxia University student sighed with emotion: "This year's First Division Professional League and University League will definitely be very exciting!"
Riding Bronzong back to the Huaxia University guesthouse, the SRU school team members happened to have run out of their rooms and were discussing animatedly. Because the commotion of the Stone Edge breaking the hall just now was really too loud; it was hard for them not to hear it!
"Eh? Basalt, you came from the direction of the battle hall? Do you know what happened over there?"
Teacher Tan Houcheng adjusted his glasses frame.
"Uh... nothing big, just two pseudo-legendaries fighting, accidentally broke the battle hall!"
"Two pseudo-legendaries? Which two pseudo-legendaries?" Shan Qingtian interjected.
"One Tyranitar, one Dragonite!" Basalt acted as if nothing had happened.
"What? Dragonite and Tyranitar?"
Fang Tianjin exclaimed in a lost voice, "So Huaxia University hid two fully evolved pseudo-legendaries when fighting the exchange match with us? And just like that, we were beaten 2:4. The gap between us and Huaxia University is a bit too big!"
No wonder he was discouraged. Because just on the surface, Long Feiyu had a Salamence, Zhang Yunding had a Metagross, plus Tyranitar and Dragonite, that made four pseudo-legendaries together.
And what about this batch of South River University? Not a single pseudo-legendary! This gap was really too big!
Hearing this, the emotions of the SRU crowd also dropped.
"That... Captain Fang!"
Basalt blinked his eyes and whispered an explanation, "Actually, only Dragonite belongs to Huaxia University's side. That Tyranitar is not! Because Tyranitar... is mine!"
"Sigh, even if Tyranitar isn't Huaxia University's, three fully evolved pseudo-legendaries are enough to crush us."
Fang Tianjin spoke feebly, but suddenly his eyes widened round, stammering, "Basalt, what did you just say? Did my ears have a problem?"
Tyranitar is Basalt's?
At this moment, not only Fang Tianjin but everyone present was stunned.
Real or fake?
"Captain Fang, you heard correctly. Tyranitar is mine!"
Basalt smiled and pointed at himself, saying, "My Pupitar has successfully completed evolution."
"Really evolved?"
Tan Houcheng was overjoyed. In this way, this batch of South River University also had a pseudo-legendary. At least this prestige was saved.
"Absolutely true!"
Basalt gave everyone an affirmative look again.
However, this matter was of great importance to the SRU school team. It was both for confirmation and to feast their eyes, so everyone strongly requested Basalt to release Tyranitar for them to see.
Regarding this, Basalt couldn't refuse.
When the huge-bodied, terrifyingly imposing Tyranitar appeared, everyone couldn't help but tremble with fear. Truly worthy of the Pokémon known as the "Desert Tyrant"; that killing intent was too astonishing, enough to make people tremble with just one look.
"This matter is too important; I have to inform Principal Mou immediately!"
Tan Houcheng left in a hurry.
After communicating with the school team members for a while, Basalt also returned to his room and took out the Pokédex to scan. Until now, he hadn't checked Tyranitar's data yet!
Scan successful.
Tyranitar
Type: Rock / Dark
Ability: Sand Stream (Summons a sandstorm upon entering battle)
New Moves: Head Smash, Foul Play, Torment, Dragon Claw, Dragon Tail, Iron Tail, Flamethrower, Roar, Block.
A total of nine new moves; not too many.
Among them, Head Smash and Dragon Claw had already been used by Tyranitar in the battle against Dragonite.
Torment is a Dark-type status move that prevents the opponent from using the same move twice in a row.
Dragon Tail and Roar are both moves that can force the opponent to switch Pokémon. However, Roar is a status move affected by Taunt, while Dragon Tail is an attack move unaffected by Taunt.
"Actually learned Flamethrower?"
This was a move that pleasantly surprised Basalt.
In games, Tyranitar's move pool is very deep. Besides the Elemental Punches and Elemental Fangs, it can also learn Surf, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, Flamethrower, etc. But in reality, learning these non-STAB moves is still difficult; it's hard to master them without hard work. After all, they are mid-to-high-tier moves of various types, and their power cannot be underestimated.
Who would have thought Tyranitar actually comprehended Flamethrower automatically?
And coincidentally, the three types that counter Tyranitar—Bug, Steel, and Grass—are all countered by Fire-type moves. In this way, Tyranitar also gained a counterattack method to expand its coverage.
While Basalt was carefully studying Tyranitar's moves, the news of Basalt's Pupitar evolving into Tyranitar and defeating Xia Tian's pseudo-legendary Dragonite began to spread as if it had wings.
First, there was a lot of first-hand news on Huaxia University's own school forum and official website.
That night, Basalt received calls from Principal Mou Kangzhuang and Club Owner Abdullah successively.
Mou Kangzhuang naturally encouraged Basalt and also stated his attitude that Basalt would be heavily rewarded upon returning to school. Abdullah meant roughly the same; with the pseudo-legendary Tyranitar, Basalt's strength would definitely skyrocket. The club contract might also need to be changed.
Beep beep beep!
Just after hanging up Abdullah's phone, Basalt's ringtone rang again.
After connecting, the voice of the grumpy old man Mo Chaoyang came from the other end: "Stinky brat, you came to the capital and didn't know to say hello to me? If you hadn't caused such a big commotion, did you plan not to tell me?"
