The match had ended, and the atmosphere was electric. Metagross stood tall and proud, its metallic frame glinting uhe bright lights of the arena. Non's Pupitar y on the ground, defeated.
"Metagross: That's it,
I didn't even try; you just fell down,"
"Pupitar: We are both pseudo-legendary at least give me some face,"
Whether it was the audie the se or the audien front of the s, they couldn't believe their eyes. They thought that Metagross, who had fought two matches in a row, and then faced Pupitar, even if it won, would at least have to gh a hard fight.
The result is that Metagross pyed Pupitar, just like it pyed Mega Venusaur and Gengar before, and put Pupitar on the ground with only two moves.
"Is this what they mean by a fight between dragons and tigers?" someone remarked. "It's more like a massacre!"
Non looked at the fallen Pupitar, rubbed his eyes, and looked again, Pupitar was still on the ground, only then did he believe that he was defeated.
Looking at the timer on the big s, it was exactly three minutes, and the ers of his mouth twitched violently.
"Metagross is ridiculously strong and uific" he muttered.
He knew his own Pupitar had potential and could fight above its level, but against Metagross, it had been pletely overmatched. The whole match felt like a crushi.
It would be fine if it seudo-Elite Metagross but the Metagross in front of him was obviously still at the Advanced level, not even the peak.
"What kind of precious treasures does it take to make a Pokémon this powerful?" he pondered, gng at Julian with newfound respebsp;
Unlike Julian, who was the sole heir of the Walker family and had access to all resources, Non knew his family was rger, spreading resources thinner among many members. All he had received was a blue-qualified Larvitar as his starter Pokémon. If he wanted more from his family, he o prove his worth.
The Yale Provincial High School League rime opportunity for that, but now, with Julian's overwhelming strength on dispy, he realized his ces of success were slim.
"e back, Metagross,"
Julian said, recalling his Pokémon amidst the cheers of the crowd.
He knew Metagross was strong, His five basic stats far exceeded those of typical Metagross at the same level, thanks to various enhas he had used.
People wondered how he had achieved such a feat, what they didn't know is that Julian had a system that allowed him to purchase items to boost his Pokémon's stats repeatedly. Metagross was now level 51, having just gained experience from defeating Pupitar, and Julian was ready to tinue improving its abilities.
"Julian , you are so perverted, how you be s?"
As soon as Julian came back, Will ed his arms around his neck. The tter's loud voice made Julian's ear buzz.
"I really hope I don't have to face you in the individual petition," Shen added.
"Agreed"
"Agreed"
Han and Zosh chimed in unison, all three sharing a worried gnbsp;
The individual petition was where everyone could truly showcase their strengths, but fag Julian early would be a disaster for them.
"I'm not afraid; this uncle is very lucky!" Will decred, trying to lift the mood. He hoped to get lucky in the draw and avoid Julian until ter in the petition.
With the most powerful Rival Lit Middle School beied by Lake No. 1 Middle School, although the team petition is not over yet, everyone knows who the champion is.
Especially after seeing Julia Mega Venusaur, Gengar, Pupitar one against three, other teams have no thoughts about the team championship.
Uhere is a Pokémon among them that beat that kinky Metagross.
The afternoon of the day, the champion of the team petition was announced. As expected, Lake No. 1 Middle School took the title, aement filled the air.
After the award ceremony for the team petition, the drawing ceremony for the individual petition begins.
The 12 teams participating in the Yale Provincial High School League this time, their main didates participate in the individual petition, which means that even if you lose ieam petitioo your teammates, you pletely win ba the individual petition by your own strength.
There are 60 pyers in the petition, and each use up to three Pokemon.
"Julian, what number did you draw?" Will asked, holding up a ping pong ball marked with the number 31.
"Number 15," Julian replied, notig Will visibly rex.
"I wonder who the poor soul with number 46 is," Will mused, his tone pyful.
As if on cue, Julian's phone buzzed with a message: *testant Julian no. 15th will pete at 10:00 in the m at venue number 6. If you are three mie, you will automatically be disqualified. Please don't be te.*
"I'm at venue 5 at 8 o'clock, so cheer for me wheime es," Will said, excitement creeping into his voice.
"No time"
Julia without looking back.
"Hey, don't you want to see who your rival is?" Will shouted after him, but Julia walking, focused on his own preparation.
On the big s, the draw results began to appear.
Will first checked his rival number 30.
'Well, a nerd with gsses, definitely not my Rival.'
Then, he looked at the unfortunate number 46. His eyes widened in surprise as he reized a familiar face.
"Shen, you really are unlucky!" he excimed, shaking his head in disbelief.
Julian's rival was her than his teammate Shen. This was a uwist, sidering that Shen was also a strong petitor within Yale Provinbsp;
At that moment, Shen reoccupied with a small mirror, admiring her own refle and adjusting her hair.
Shen Yu: (⊙⊙).
"Looks like things just got iing," Will said to himself, a mischievous smile creeping onto his face.
The individual petition was about to begin, and the excitement was just starting to build.
