147 - Abuse of Vegetables! The Greater the Hope, the Greater the Disappointment
"Um."
Qin Yun looked at his opponent, unsure of what he intended to say.
The same strategies and precise execution ended the battle swiftly, leaving no room for resistance.
"Boom!"
The fourth trainer from Rustboro No. 3 stepped forward. As soon as he appeared, the audience erupted in cheers, a testament to his popularity in the school.
But… Qin Yun's strength was simply overwhelming.
"Combusken, use Flamethrower to evade!"
"You won't go down without a fight come out!"
"Lantang!"
"Heracross, counter with Megahorn! Knock that Vine Whip away!"
The students from Rustboro No. 3 stood from their seats, unable to believe what they were witnessing.
They watched in shock as Leaf Storm tore through the battlefield, striking Combusken head-on, instantly incapacitating it.
Useless.
"Damn it! How could a genius like him come from Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School?"
None of them understood Qin Yun's true strength—they had no clue how terrifying he really was.
"As you wish!"
"This… What's happening?"
"No it's too late!"
"Lurantis, use Leaf Storm!"
The result was the same: total domination.
"Elite intermediate, with a battle power of 18,600."
Yang Feng, seeing this, silently shut his mouth, his pupils contracting in disbelief.
"No way."
"I should be stronger than them!"
"The flames aren't hot enough."
"I'll handle your Lurantis!"
"In the face of a Fire-type attack, you still rely on Grass-type moves? Don't you know about type advantages?"
Lin Shuyi firmly believed that Akuan could defeat this Lurantis. After all, she had battled Akuan before and knew she wasn't his equal.
"No… Actually, that vine is weak to fire. Look, the edges are already scorched."
Qin Yun had a Combusken before—now it had evolved into a Blaziken.
"Kuan, be careful. Something's off about this Qin Yun."
Akuan's eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Qin Yun sighed. It seemed he had expected too much from them.
Even a fool could tell that Qin Yun wasn't someone they could handle.
"With Akuan, I think we have a chance. Maybe he can finally take Qin Yun down."
"Lurantis, use Leaf Storm!"
"Heracross!"
"Is he… really that strong?" Akuan's voice brimmed with confidence.
Yang Feng muttered under his breath, his eyes turning serious.
Qin Yun's gaze sharpened.
Lin Shuyi listened to their conversation, a smirk forming at the corner of her lips.
But now…
Akuan reacted swiftly and issued a command.
Qin Yun simply shrugged.
"Isn't fire supposed to burn plants? Why isn't this vine affected?"
"This Lurantis alone could probably take out three or four of us."
"Alright."
"I hope you won't disappoint me."
She was already making adjustments for the rest of the match, knowing that her Verdant Hand wasn't as effective against Combusken.
The varsity team from Rustboro No. 3 remained confident they didn't believe they would lose.
Akuan felt Qin Yun's gaze and smiled at him. Qin Yun returned the smile.
As Qin Yun gave his next command, Verdant Hand restrained Heracross.
Qin Yun's eyes filled with disappointment.
If Akuan could just eliminate Lurantis, the match could turn around.
"I hope so."
One of the three strongest trainers in Rustboro stood up, his expression serious.
Qin Yun's gaze hardened as Akuan took the stage.
"How is this happening…?"
Qin Yun noticed a calm-looking man sitting at the back. Something about him felt different—he was likely the strongest of the Rustboro team.
But it only stalled the inevitable. Soon, Verdant Hand launched another assault on Heracross.
The battle began.
"Rustboro No. 3 should have strong trainers, but the ones who have come out so far… feel ordinary."
Akuan had long hair, giving him the appearance of an idol singer.
"Is that so?"
Gulp.
Even A Can, usually composed, struggled to remain calm.
Against Heracross, Qin Yun didn't change his approach.
"Let me handle Lurantis. If you go in now, you'll just be handing it a free win. I'll deal with it, and you focus on taking down Qin Yun's other Pokémon."
"Taking down Lurantis?"
It wasn't about Qin Yun's background—it was about his sheer power.
Qin Yun's expression shifted once more, and even Lurantis eyed Combusken strangely.
"Then why…?"
In Jiangcheng, only two professional-level trainers existed within the Yang family. Ranking in the top three meant wielding incredible influence.
He couldn't believe the outcome.
But what mattered most was whether they could take down Qin Yun.
"Finally, I get to see that Blaziken in action."
A Professional-level trainer…
Yang Feng shook his head. That was beyond his reach.
Akuan stepped onto the battlefield the fifth trainer from Rustboro No. 3.
"My Heracross is strong you should be careful."
"If that's the case, I'm winning this one."
"I hope your strength isn't disappointing."
"Combusken?"
"You're Qin Yun? Your strength is impressive—I won't be your Rival."
Hearing this, Qin Yun's eyes flickered with amusement.
"Come out, Rapidash!"
Flamethrower and Verdant Hand clashed.
"Come out, Combusken!"
'Heracross, use Double Kick!'
Verdant Hand followed Flamethrower's path and caught Combusken mid-air.
"You think I'm like the others?"
No—his goal wasn't to defeat Qin Yun. It was to eliminate Lurantis.
"Sorry, but you're too late."
Akuan was the weakest of Rustboro's top three, but he wasn't to be underestimated.
Akuan studied the battle carefully, noticing key details about Lurantis.
At professional-level, there were fewer than ten trainers in the entire Jiangcheng. Each was a dominant force in the Johto Region.
Too strong.
"No—my strength should be good enough!"
"Flamethrower!"
He muttered in disbelief, while the audience remained silent, stunned.
"Don't underestimate Qin Yun. If his other Pokémon are just as strong, I won't stand a chance."
Lurantis dominated the battlefield—crushing its opponents, ignoring their attacks, and winning with ruthless efficiency.
Even Lurantis seemed puzzled as it stared at the immobilized Combusken.
Lurantis wanted a strong opponent this time—bullying weak trainers had grown dull.
Qin Yun sensed it too—the opponents weren't worth much excitement.
Akuan was a formidable trainer. Qin Yun had fought him before and knew his strength well.
"Verdant Hand!"
Qin Yun chuckled.
"Let's go."
The expected clash never happened. Flamethrower, despite its heat, barely slowed Verdant Hand, which overwhelmed the fire and pushed forward.
Qin Yun sighed. He had expected too much.
"But I won't go down easily. If you want to beat me, you'll have to pay the price."
Lin Shuyi's gaze darkened.
If he offended Qin Yun, he wouldn't be killed, but he'd definitely be taught a painful lesson.
Qin Yun gave the same command once more.
Their plan was simple: Qin Yun had only three Pokémon. If they took down Lurantis, they had a chance.
"Don't lose focus—it's disrespectful to me."
As Akuan entered the battlefield, Rustboro No. 3 cheered.
Lurantis narrowed its eyes at Combusken.
Qin Yun stuck to the same old routine.
"This… How is this possible!?"
Combusken was trapped—Verdant Hand's grip burned into its skin, forcing it to cry out.
Qin Yun was only a high school student… but with this strength, his future as a professional trainer seemed inevitable.
"It didn't break free? Impossible!"
The audience finally realized—this wasn't luck. It was complete domination.
