The Chapter get Retranslated
"Emboar, you've worked hard, go back and rest well."
Xiao Luoxue recalled her incapacitated Emboar, then unhesitatingly sent out Garchomp.
The appearance of another pseudo-legendary once again sparked a cheer.
"Garchomp, use Dragon Rush!"
"Garchomp, we'll also use Dragon Rush!"
Head-on clashes, who was afraid? Her Garchomp was no weaker than Lin Yuefeng's Garchomp. On the contrary, in terms of strength, Xiao Luoxue's Garchomp was even stronger.
A Quasi-Elite Four Stage 3 battling a Quasi-Elite Four Stage 1—the strength advantage was too great.
The two pseudo-legendaries collided, unleashing a powerful airflow that scraped off a layer of the battlefield's surface. Garchomp stood proudly in the air, while the opponent's Garchomp was already slammed to the ground.
"Garchomp, press the advantage! Don't give it a chance to counterattack! Use Dragon Claw!"
Diving from the air, a Dragon Claw sent the recovering Garchomp flying again. Garchomp looked pained.
Garchomp's attack, along with the burn status caused by Emboar, was still in effect. One could say that Garchomp was already in an unassailable position.
"Garchomp, get up!"
Looking at the Garchomp lying on the ground, Lin Yuefeng shouted, his eyes bloodshot.
His goal was to defeat Jiang Chen, but he hadn't even met Jiang Chen and was already defeated by Xiao Luoxue. Lin Yuefeng couldn't accept this.
"You don't have a chance."
Xiao Luoxue certainly wouldn't watch Garchomp get up. She ordered her Garchomp to use Dragon Pulse, and a destructive orb of power struck the opponent's Garchomp.
"Garchomp is unable to battle."
The referee announced dispassionately.
Lin Yuefeng stood there, his face ashen.
From the moment Xiao Luoxue sent out Garchomp, he had been completely overpowered, with no chance to counter.
Now that his strongest ace was incapacitated, his chances of defeating Xiao Luoxue could no longer be described as slim; they were nonexistent.
"Lin Yuefeng, please send out your next Pokémon." The referee prompted Lin Yuefeng.
Lin Yuefeng made no move. Seeing his inaction, the referee frowned. "Lin Yuefeng, send out your next Pokémon, or you will be deemed to have forfeited."
"What's going on? Has Lin Yuefeng been stunned? He's still not sending out his next Pokémon."
The commentator was also puzzled by this scene.
"Capital's Number One Bullshitter has been stunned!"
"I heard he went to trash talk Jiang Chen earlier, but now he doesn't even get a chance to battle him."
"He should be grateful; otherwise, wouldn't he have been utterly annihilated?"
In the stands, jeers erupted. Lin Yuefeng had been too high-profile before, and coupled with his group of irrational supporters, he had made many enemies. At this moment, those mocking him were naturally numerous.
Fortunately, the taunts from the stands couldn't reach the battleground, or Lin Yuefeng would probably spit blood.
"Alas, the referee announces that because Lin Yuefeng failed to send out his Pokémon in time, he has been disqualified."
At this point, the commentator announced.
No one had expected this highly anticipated battle to end so anticlimactically.
"He's afraid to keep fighting, afraid to lose." Xiao Luoxue looked at Lin Yuefeng disdainfully. Such a person wasn't even qualified to be her opponent.
Xiao Luoxue's words reached Lin Yuefeng's ears. Lin Yuefeng's face was livid, but he couldn't retort.
He was indeed afraid to lose. Because of Jiang Chen's "Capital's Number One Bullshitter" remark, he had already lost almost all his dignity. If he lost to Xiao Luoxue again, he would never be able to hold his head up, not for the rest of his life.
Being disqualified now was also a loss, but he hadn't been thoroughly defeated. At least he could claim to the outside world that he wasn't in good condition.
Although defeat was inevitable, as long as he didn't admit it, and since the battle wasn't completely finished, if he was thick-skinned enough, he hadn't lost.
"Anyway, the match wasn't finished. How can you say I definitely lost? I just wasn't in good physical condition."
Lin Yuefeng thought he was being clever, but in reality, countless people were cursing him.
"Why aren't you happy even after winning?"
Jiang Chen left the stands and asked Xiao Luoxue, who looked annoyed.
"That guy's ace was already knocked out. I was about to completely crush him, but then he got himself disqualified. Of course I'm annoyed! The chance to thoroughly defeat that Lin Yuefeng is gone, just like that."
Xiao Luoxue knew exactly what Lin Yuefeng was capable of. After Garchomp was incapacitated, she could have used her Garchomp to sweep through Lin Yuefeng's other Pokémon.
"That guy definitely did it on purpose."
"Exactly, he must have done it on purpose." Jiang Chen agreed with Xiao Luoxue's guess.
Jiang Chen had even guessed Lin Yuefeng's motive for doing so, but he couldn't be bothered to care.
After today's four matches, the Top 8 had been decided.
"Now, the chances of us meeting are much higher."
With only eight people left, the possibility of them facing each other was very high.
"If I run into you, then it's just bad luck, I guess."
Ling Wanqiu was calm. If she really did meet Jiang Chen, there was nothing she could do. It was a matter of luck, and who could say anything about luck?
Anyway, having made it this far, even if she unluckily lost to Jiang Chen, Ling Wanqiu wouldn't feel resentful.
After today's matches, Jiang Chen and the others went back. After training their Pokémon, Jiang Chen rested.
"System, sign in."
[Ding! Sign-in successful! Congratulations to host for receiving: Metagrossite x1, Points +100!]
"Today's luck is good; at least it's not just berries."
These past few days, the items obtained from signing in were either berries or money, but these things were completely useless to Jiang Chen.
"Young Master, breakfast is ready."
Ning Ya knocked on the door and called out.
"Got it, Sister Ning Ya."
After washing up, he sat at the dining table. Not long after, a sleepy-eyed Xiao Luoxue walked over and sat beside Jiang Chen.
"Breakfast is so lavish, thank you, Sister Ning Ya."
Looking at the abundant breakfast on the table, Xiao Luoxue thanked Ning Ya.
Arriving at the Tianhai Pokémon Arena, they drew lots for opponents. Xiao Luoxue and Ling Wanqiu had good luck; their opponents weren't Jiang Chen.
And they also didn't get matched against each other.
However, Jiang Chen's opponent was still quite strong. He drew Chen Xiu, ranked fourth on the Strongest New Trainer Ranking.
This ranking still held some authority.
Jiang Chen and Chen Xiu's match was in the afternoon. In the morning, Ling Wanqiu had battled a female trainer, and naturally, Ling Wanqiu won, and she won very easily.
Everyone could now see that the final champion would likely be among Jiang Chen, Ling Wanqiu, and Xiao Luoxue.
Because their battles were won too easily.
In the afternoon, during Jiang Chen and Chen Xiu's match, Jiang Chen naturally had the highest support rate.
"Both contestants have entered the arena! This battle should be a fierce struggle! Who will advance to the Top 4? Let's wait and see!"
After the commentator's incessant introduction, Jiang Chen and Chen Xiu had already sent out their Pokémon.
"Is that Meowstic (female)?"
Chen Xiu glanced at the Meowstic (female) Jiang Chen sent out, his brow furrowing slightly. He had gathered a lot of information on Jiang Chen, but he truly knew nothing about Meowstic.
Normally, Jiang Chen rarely used Meowstic in battle.
However, this didn't mean Meowstic (female)'s strength was weak.
"Charizard, use Flamethrower!"
"Meowstic, use Teleport to dodge!"
Instantly, Meowstic (female)'s figure vanished, reappearing behind Charizard.
"Oh my! This Meowstic can use Teleport?"
The commentator looked utterly shocked.
As a commentator, he certainly had a thorough understanding of Pokémon data, but he had never seen a Meowstic that could use Teleport, nor had he heard of Meowstic being able to learn Teleport.
A normal Meowstic couldn't learn Teleport, but Jiang Chen possessed the Mind Plate, which allowed Metagross to learn Teleport. How could it not enable Meowstic to master Teleport?
After appearing behind Charizard, Meowstic (female) used Psyshock, sending Charizard flying.
"Bang~!"
A few seconds later, Charizard struggled to its feet, looking disheveled.
Although Meowstic (female)'s figure wasn't large, Charizard felt a significant pressure emanating from it.
"Charizard, fly up!"
Chen Xiu shouted at Charizard.
Jiang Chen looked up at the flying Charizard, then commanded, "Meowstic, use Psychic to pull Charizard down!"
Invisible Psychic energy latched onto Charizard's body, pulling it directly down and slamming it heavily onto the ground.
Charizard let out a cry of pain, then was sent flying again by Extrasensory.
After several consecutive attacks, Charizard was quickly reaching its limit.
"This Meowstic has such strong oppressive power! As expected of Jiang Chen's Pokémon! It's rumored that Jiang Chen's specialty is Psychic-type Pokémon," the commentator said.
"So strong! Chen Xiu's Charizard isn't weak, but it's being completely dominated by Meowstic!"
"It seems this match has no suspense. I just wonder if Chen Xiu has the ability to defeat even one of Jiang Chen's Pokémon."
Since the start of this New Trainer Competition, Jiang Chen had yet to have a single Pokémon defeated.
"Meowstic, use Psychic!"
After Teleporting to dodge a Blast Burn, Meowstic directly used Psychic, easily sending Charizard away.
"This is so frustrating."
Chen Xiu knew Jiang Chen was a formidable opponent, but he hadn't expected the battle to be so stifling.
He hadn't even touched Meowstic once throughout the entire battle. Teleport was truly annoying.
"Charizard is unable to battle. Please send out your next Pokémon."
The referee reminded a frustrated Chen Xiu.
"Go, Froslass!"
Froslass, resembling a kimono-clad figure, floated in mid-air, emitting a chilling aura.
"Chen Xiu has brought out Froslass, which has a type advantage against Psychic-types. I wonder if he can win this."
"Meowstic, use Shadow Ball!" Jiang Chen shouted at Meowstic.
Meowstic also knew a Ghost-type move.
A dark, shadow-like orb suddenly shot towards Froslass. It was so fast that Froslass couldn't dodge in time and was hit head-on by Shadow Ball.
Just as Jiang Chen was about to press his advantage, he realized that Froslass had been one-hit-KO'd by Shadow Ball.
""Your Froslass is too weak."
He hadn't checked Froslass's strength earlier. Using Probe Eye, he found that this Froslass only had Elite-level Stage 3 strength.
An Elite-level Stage 3 Froslass, facing a Quasi-Elite Four Stage 1 Meowstic, was simply cannon fodder.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Chen Xiu's face.
His Froslass was indeed a bit weak. He had used Froslass because of its type advantage against Psychic-types, but it was knocked out before it even had a chance to act.
The commentator was also speechless. He hadn't expected Chen Xiu's Froslass to be one-hit-KO'd immediately after appearing. He had been looking forward to it.
Meowstic stood elegantly, with a touch of arrogance, looking at Chen Xiu and waiting for him to send out his next Pokémon.
"This Meowstic is really annoying. It's a bit too arrogant."
Chen Xiu felt a little uncomfortable looking at the proud Meowstic.
Actually, Meowstic wasn't looking down on Chen Xiu; it simply had that demeanor. Male Meowstic were usually alright, but female Meowstic inherently gave off an arrogant vibe.
"Ursaring, come out!"
Ursaring was a brown, bipedal bear with a circle on its abdomen, sharp eyes, and gleaming claws.
"Ursaring, charge and use Hammer Arm!"
"Meowstic, use Psychic!"
Ursaring, which was about to charge, felt its body held back as if by resistance, completely unable to reach Meowstic.
"This Psychic is too strong!"
Chen Xiu frowned deeply. He had his pride; he couldn't afford to be swept 1-6.
"Your Ursaring isn't strong enough."
Probe Eye could detect Ursaring's strength. Knowing yourself and your enemy guarantees victory in a hundred battles. With Elite-level Stage 9 strength, it was impossible to defeat Meowstic.
First a Psyshock, then Extrasensory. Two moves directly knocked Ursaring out, giving it no chance to even approach Meowstic.
Even if it had charged, Meowstic could use Teleport, so Ursaring wouldn't have been able to hit it anyway.
"A clean and decisive defeat of three Pokémon in a row! This Meowstic is not only cute in appearance but also incredibly powerful!"
The commentator exclaimed.
"It looks like it's time to bring out my ace. Go, Volcarona!"
Seeing Volcarona, Jiang Chen's face showed surprise. This was an extremely rare Pokémon.
Volcarona was a Bug/Fire-type Pokémon with blue eyes and a pair of red antennae curled around its cheeks.
It had three pairs of orange-red wings on its back, representing the sun, and black spots distributed on its wings and the outer part of its abdomen, representing sunspots.
Legend said that Volcarona was born from a fiercely burning cocoon. When the ground became pitch black due to volcanic ash, its flames would take the place of the sun, thus it was considered the incarnation of the sun.
In terms of rarity, Volcarona was even rarer and more uncommon than a pseudo-legendary.
"It's Volcarona! To be able to see a Pokémon rarer than a pseudo-legendary is truly our honor! And Bug-type happens to be strong against Psychic-type, so Chen Xiu has a chance to win this battle!"
The commentator was excited.
Volcarona was not only rare but also very powerful.
"Volcarona, use Bug Buzz!"
This was a sound-based attack, almost impossible to defend against or dodge. Meowstic felt uncomfortable after being hit.
"Meowstic, use Psybeam!"
"Quickly dodge, Volcarona!"
This Volcarona's speed and reaction were very fast. Since the Psybeam was launched from a relatively far distance, it gave Volcarona enough time to react, successfully dodging the incoming Psybeam.
While dodging the attack, it also launched a Blast Burn at Meowstic, which Meowstic fortunately dodged with Teleport.
