"Roar!"
Scorching flames surged once more as the last remaining Pokémon was swallowed by the combined fires of Mega Charizard Y and Moltres. As the flames dissipated, Roaring Moon delivered the final blow with Dragon Claw, sending it into the embrace of the God of Death.
After finishing off all of Jimmy's Pokémon, Gu Yuan immediately deactivated the Mega Evolution states for Mega Charizard Y and Mega Alakazam before instantly using Teleport to lead them away from the scene.
Not long after Gu Yuan left, someone arrived at the battlefield. After glancing at the corpses of the Pokémon, the person immediately notified the others with specific details.
Subsequently, Gu Yuan, who carried the scent of blood, acted like a piece of bait, attracting these pursuers who circled like sharks. Even though Gu Yuan used a spray at maximum speed to eliminate the scent of blood, he was still gradually overtaken as the others began to form an encirclement.
"Get ready; we're breaking through."
Even though he was the one surrounded, Gu Yuan showed no fear. Conversely, he was filled with fighting spirit, his eyes flashing with an eager light. In the next instant, Gu Yuan used Teleport and vanished.
The moment he reappeared, Mega Charizard Y launched an attack according to Gu Yuan's command. Surging flames rushed out, striking directly at the opponents ahead. As Mega Charizard Y acted, Mega Alakazam used its psychic powers to restrain the enemies.
Simultaneously, Moltres's pressure emerged, further restricting their strength before it used Blast Burn to coordinate with Mega Charizard Y for a secondary strike. Scale Shot flew out, circling the flames, while Sylveon condensed a Hyper Beam. Ditto transformed into the likeness of Annihilape, following the real Annihilape as they vanished using Phantom Force.
To end the battle as quickly as possible, Gu Yuan's opening move was a killing blow.
"Boom!"
The sound of an explosion rang out. Having been slightly disrupted by Mega Alakazam's psychic interference, the opposing Pokémon failed to counterattack in time and were swallowed by the Blast Burn and Scale Shot. Under the control of Mega Charizard Y and Moltres, the flames expanded instantly, enveloping the group of Pokémon along with their trainers.
The Scale Shot whistled through the fire, providing further strikes. Under the searing heat and the bombardment of scales, the trainers of these Pokémon were killed instantly. As the flames finally cleared, Sylveon's Hyper Beam immediately shot forth.
The moment the orange-yellow beam struck the Pokémon, Annihilape and Ditto rushed out, releasing Rage Fist. This was followed by the suppression of Mega Alakazam's psychic trio-technique, and finally, Roaring Moon descending with Dragon Rush.
Facing this opponent who only possessed Lower-tier Elite strength, Gu Yuan annihilated them entirely in an extremely short amount of time. Similarly, the sounds of battle attracted the others, causing more and more people to close in on Gu Yuan.
Immediately deactivating the Mega Evolution for Mega Alakazam and Mega Charizard Y, Gu Yuan broke through the encirclement. Next, regardless of the strength of the opponents he encountered, Gu Yuan used the System's detection function to strike first.
If the opponent's strength was the same as his—only Lower-tier Elite—Gu Yuan would choose to leave them there forever. If the opponent was stronger than him, Gu Yuan would only strike once before fleeing immediately.
Through the constant clashing, Gu Yuan's record became increasingly staggering, but his stamina consumption was also immense. He had even encountered several Upper-tier Elite opponents midway, taking quite a bit of effort to shake off their pursuit.
Unfortunately, his repeated actions had caused him to be marked by the remaining two Psychics. Gu Yuan no longer dared to engage with anyone else to avoid being swarmed.
"Prepare to counterattack. If we don't deal with these two Psychics, it will only make our next moves more troublesome."
Stopping his pace, Gu Yuan had Charizard and the others drink various medicines to recover while he began to restore his own psychic power. With the psychic shielding device active, Gu Yuan wasn't worried that the two Psychics would discover his sudden stop and lose the courage to strike immediately.
"Get ready. We must strike with a lethal blow; we absolutely cannot give them a chance to fight back!"
Staring closely at the radar displayed by the System, Gu Yuan's tone was full of solemnity. He silently accumulated power, pushing various buffing moves to their limits. Watching the opponent vanish and reappear, Gu Yuan immediately used Teleport to lead Mega Charizard Y and the others away.
"Boom!"
An explosion sounded. Hayden, who had just used Teleport, looked at the suddenly appearing flames without a hint of panic. He immediately ordered his Pokémon to counterattack. The moment the flames were blocked, Roaring Moon transformed into a massive dragon and descended from above them.
Beside Roaring Moon was Moltres, resembling a giant bird; they looked like a dragon and a phoenix dancing in the air. Along with the descent of Roaring Moon and Moltres, Sylveon followed up with Hyper Beam. The entrance to the rift from the alternate dimension opened, and Annihilape and the transformed Ditto charged directly into the group of Pokémon.
While commanding his Pokémon to counterattack via Telepathy, Hayden used Teleport to leave his position. The moment Hayden reappeared, Gu Yuan was already beside him, a cold, gleaming dagger heading straight for his vitals.
Circulating his psychic power again, Hayden used Teleport once more to vanish. Discovering Hayden's predicament, his Psychic-type Pokémon immediately tried to provide support, but they were intercepted first by Annihilape and Ditto.
Rushing out from the alternate dimension, Gengar's Dark Pulse was like a long spear, piercing Hayden's heart directly.
Since his life-and-death struggle with Frey, Gu Yuan had gained a much deeper understanding of how to deal with a Psychic. First, one had to restrict their Psychic-type Pokémon, then force the target to move away alone, and finally use oneself as bait to deliver a finishing blow with a Psychic or Ghost-type Pokémon.
It sounded easy, but simply separating a Psychic from their Psychic-type Pokémon was a massive hurdle, not to mention the harsh conditions that followed.
After dealing with the trainer, Gu Yuan continued to have his Pokémon increase their offensive. Relying on the strength boosted by buffing moves, Mega Charizard Y quickly finished off its opponent before helping Moltres and the others resolve theirs.
A few minutes later, Gu Yuan ended the battle, but the other Psychic had already rushed over, accompanied by a Middle-tier Elite trainer. Being pinched from two sides was extremely disadvantageous for Gu Yuan, who had just finished a fierce battle.
"Mega Charizard Y, Blast Burn!"
Despite this, Gu Yuan still chose to take the initiative, wanting to seize the upper hand.
