"It's up to you, Arcanine!" Pyro raised his hand and threw a Pokeball, forming a perfect arc.
A beam of red light fell onto the green grass.
"Oooh!!!"
Arcanine landed on the ground and roared upward, eyes wide open, its blonde mane flowing in the wind. Its huge body was covered with tiger-like black and orange stripes.
This was the Arcanine from the ancient legends of Avalon. With its majestic appearance and impressive roar, it immediately captivated countless spectators present.
The Arcanine raised by Pyro was excellent, with smooth and beautiful fur, sharp eyes, and thick limbs.
[Pokemon: Arcanine (Fire)
Ability: Justified
Qualification: Elite
Level: Lv 29 (Senior)]
Pyro calmly watched his own Arcanine, his eyes reflecting the scene when he first met Growlithe, played with it, grew together, became stronger together, and defeated countless rivals together.
Finally, the two stood together on such a grand stage, facing the powerful Rival that was almost impossible to beat.
"But in a match, the result is not the only thing that matters."
"The process is equally important."
Seeing Arcanine ready with all its might, Pyro's restless heart gradually calmed down. He exhaled softly and then raised his eyes to look at Bruce, the rival who seemed like the Normal-type demon king.
"Let the match begin!" Seeing that the players on both sides were ready, the referee lowered the flag again and shouted loudly.
The audience held their breath.
Arcanine's deep black pupils met Metang's blood-red eyes.
"Flamethrower!"
Pyro shouted directly.
Arcanine still had a type advantage over Metang.
But this was a Metang that had reached professional status from the very beginning.
"Oooh!!!"
Arcanine opened its bloody mouth wide, and beautiful orange flames surged within. In an instant, they condensed into a thick, extremely hot column of fire, rushing toward Metang!
Faced with this menacing Flamethrower, Bruce's eyes were clear as he said, "Now."
"Metang!"
Metang responded in a low voice, its eyes reflecting the blazing flames approaching rapidly. It immediately crossed its arms to shield its chest.
In the next second, a wave of heat arrived, and endless flames engulfed Metang completely.
"Did it work?"
Countless spectators leaned forward, eager to see if the Flamethrower had a good effect on Metang.
Yes!
The flames gradually dissipated, Metang slowly lowered its arms, its eyes shone, and its silver body remained unscathed.
"How is this possible?!"
Looking at this scene, Pyro's pupils suddenly contracted, his face filled with disbelief.
Metang was doubly weak against fire-type moves, so how could it take a Flamethrower without any damage?
He couldn't believe the scene before his eyes.
Liam placed his hands on his thighs, smiled slightly, and explained, "The difference in strength between the two Pokemon is too great."
"Combined with Metang's excellent innate defense, it's not surprising that it came out unscathed."
Just like Shinji challenging Cynthia in the animation, Garchomp didn't even think about dodging Shinji's Pokemon; it simply took the attacks directly.
Strength is the greatest confidence.
"Extreme Speed!"
Seeing that Flamethrower didn't work, Arcanine roared again.
Suddenly, Arcanine dashed toward Metang, its vigorous figure as light as a swallow. A white light bloomed, rushing toward Metang.
Boom!
Suddenly, a Sonic Boom exploded!
An emerald green barrier instantly appeared around Metang, blocking all of Arcanine's Extreme Speed attacks.
Moments later, the emerald green barrier shattered with a crack!
"What a quick response!" someone exclaimed in amazement.
Bruce raised his eyebrows, slightly glanced at Arcanine on the opposite side, and shouted, "Trap it—Earthquake."
"Metang!"
After Bruce's voice fell, Metang's figure flickered, reaching the edge of the field.
Then, Metang roared, and its two golden iron fists, like regular drills, slammed into the ground!
Under everyone's attentive gaze, Metang struck the ground continuously, forming shockwaves one after another.
And these shockwaves overlapped in an instant, and like collapsing mountains, the entire battlefield shattered, and the ground caved in!
"Is this really the destructive power a professional-level Pokemon can cause?" someone said, stunned.
"My evaluation: invincible!"
Seeing this, Pyro bit his lower lip hard, thought for a moment, and shouted desperately, "Arcanine, Agility!"
"Oooh!!"
Arcanine shook its body to lighten itself, then ran across the ground. It turned into an afterimage, dodging the collapsing ground at a terrifying speed, racing toward Metang.
But the speed of the ground sinking was too fast. With a huge booming roar exploding one after another in its ears, dust and smoke filled the entire battlefield.
Finally, when Arcanine rushed to the center of the field, the ground beneath its feet suddenly sank. Its face fell, it lost its balance, and it was swallowed by the deep pit.
The area gradually calmed, and the dust and smoke dispersed. Only Arcanine lay in the deep pit with its eyes closed.
"Arcanine is incapacitated."
"Therefore, the winner is Bruce." The referee raised the flag representing Bruce and blew the whistle to announce the end of the match.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the venue reached a climax, and thunderous applause erupted instantly.
Kandor City Competitive Sports Arena.
In the boiling venue, countless spectators showed fanatical expressions.
On the big screen,
That handsome, cheerful, black-haired young man was deeply engraved in everyone's mind.
"This is the strength of the favorite to win the championship!" someone exclaimed.
"Favorite to win? This is this year's champion!"
"Speaking of something even scarier, Bruce's Combusken hasn't even appeared yet."
"Honestly, I'm already looking forward to seeing the Shiny-evolved Metagross."
Southwest border,
The rolling hills lie just across the border, within a restricted zone.
John Bayne looked at Bruce and Metang on the big screen with a slight smile on his face.
"Almost."
he said softly.
Kunlun University,
Lucia's excited grunt was heard in the girls' dormitory.
"Ah, handsome and strong, I declare Bruce as my idol!"
There was a slight smile on Alice's face and her eyes remained on Bruce.
Bruce and Pyro walked to the center of the venue and shook hands.
"I thought there would be a wonderful duel," Pyro said with a bitter smile.
Bruce looked at him seriously and replied, "As long as you do your best, this will be a wonderful duel."
Pyro was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.
"Thank you."
He waved his hand, turned and left the battlefield.
Since then, Uncanny University's Pyro was eliminated in the first round, bidding farewell to the freshman exchange competition.
But no one laughed at him.
They all knew in their hearts that if they faced Bruce, the end would only be more miserable.
Bruce left the arena and the next match would begin immediately.
Not long after, he sat in the spectator seats of the Metropolis University players, watching the rest of the competition.
-I thought you'd still send Gardevoir," said Bin next to him.
Bruce smiled and replied, "Every Pokemon must be experienced."
Bin's eyes twinkled and he asked, "What about Blaziken?"
Bruce thought for a moment and then replied, "It's the same thing."
Hearing Bruce's answer, Bin was silent for a moment. After a while, he scratched his head, shook it and said, "You really don't show any respect for Rival."
During the discussion, Bin proceeded in an orderly manner, one after another.
There are fierce battles in which there is no distinction between equals, and there are also crushing, one-sided battles.
But even several games later, no one can forget the Metang that caused the terrible Earthquake.
After a while, half a day was lost.
The six contestants from Metropolis University finished the first round of the competition. Among them, the two contestants passing by unfortunately met strong opponents and lost.
In fact, this is also normal. Although Metropolis University and Modu University are the best universities, they have lost their previous terrorist dominance in recent years. From time to time, strong players from other schools emerge and break the monopoly and become champions.
Six people eliminated two people and four people advanced to the next round, which is already considered a good result.
But the following matches will only be more cruel and bloody.
Thirty-two to sixteen, sixteen to eight and advanced to the final.
The second round of the race started early, and this time Bruce was not the first to play.
Bin took the lead to play, and his professional Gabite showed his terrifying strength, directly defeated Rival's two Pokemon and won the first victory.
Then Azalea played, her Gothite evolved to Gothorite, for the victory.
The third is Oliver's debut. His Wartortle is still a step away from pro level.
But as long as he can win, it's a good thing.
Bruce was the last to appear. This time, Rival is a Norton University student and they are also two Pokemon that are infinitely close to the pro level.
Bruce still sent Metang to win the victory in a devastating way, and the whole game was full of suspense.
Since then, the second round of competition ended as night fell. Bruce, Bin, Oliver and Azalea won and entered the top sixteen.
Dozens of universities and colleges participated in the competition, and only one school, Metropolis Capital University, took four places. This result exceeded Professor Rodriguez's expectations.
"The rest of the players are very good and you should all be very careful," Rodriguez said.
"Most of the players have professional level Pokemon," said Professor Rodriguez with a solemn expression, looking at Oliver.
He's the only one of the four who doesn't have a professional Pokemon.
When the tournament reached the main draw, a handful of players sent out their pro Pokemon for the first time, to the detriment of many.
Yes, at this year's freshman exchange competition, several players waited until the main match to send out pro Pokemon.
Bin sighed at that, "Look, I said the information isn't very useful and a lot of people are hiding it."
Bruce nodded his head in agreement.
In fact, this also matches the temperament of Avalon people: they always have a hand of cards and are surprised when they beat their opponents.
"That's why I keep saying that times are evolving and society is progressing," Master Rodriguez interrupted after listening to the discussion between the two.
"In the freshman exchange competition more than ten years ago, there were almost no pro Pokemon figures."
"Nowadays, with the rapid development of society, several Pokemon of professional have appeared."
Bin nodded slightly and said excitedly, "Then I said, maybe in the main game stage many years later, it is very likely that everyone will have a Pokémon of pro.
"It's not impossible," nodded Master Rodriguez.
"Okay, guys, have a good rest tonight and face tomorrow's game in the best possible condition," Master Rodriguez said with a smile and clapped his hands.
"By the way, tomorrow this is the battle plan, it should be out soon, remember to take a look at it."
After dinner, they each returned to their respective rooms.
"Hey, Bruce, there is a publication about you that is trending." Bin suddenly handed the phone back to him.
Bruce picked up the phone and looked down.
The subject of the publication is: Why has Bruce already booked the champion of this freshman exchange competition?
The content of the post is: Recently, the freshman exchange competition is in full swing and everyone should pay attention to it. I will talk about the most talked about contestant in this freshman exchange competition.
Bruce Template.
According to the information gathered from the Internet, Bruce Bayne was born into the Bayne family in the southern town of Fairbay, grandson of King John Bayne. After reading this, you must understand that Bruce Bayne's background is very deep.
Some people may say that Bruce Bayne does not trust the fact that he is a descendant of an aristocratic family, Pokemon progresses so fast and you can swap identities.
I tell you clearly, no, no, no, no.
Take a good look everyone, there are many Elite relatives in this freshman exchange competition, including Lance Elite's nephew Bin Dragneel, but is his dominance as scary as Bruce Bayne's?
Do you have a professional Pokemon?
After careful thought, there may be a small chance that there are two pro-level psychic Pokemon. After all, Bruce was born into a family of psychics.
But as far as I know so far, Bruce possessed a professional Combusken during his military field training a month and a half ago.
Record of the year, becoming number one.
In a family of psychics, the first Pokemon is a Combusken, and Combusken's progress is outrageous.
Let me ask you, which family member can do this?
So I said, Bruce Bayne has already booked this year's champion, Metang and Gardevoir may not be the toughest, and the Combusken, which hasn't been heard from in a long time, is the last big one.
BOSS.
