Chapter 409: Persian
Such a posture undoubtedly indicated that Wobbuffet actually couldn't hold on for much longer.
But Wobbuffet had clearly withstood the Hyper Beam just now.
Why was there a second instance of damage?
After several battles, Pan Shanyu felt as if his brain was underdeveloped, his cerebellum completely undeveloped.
In every battle, there were aspects that left him speechless or unable to understand.
Why was this exactly?
This situation might be a bit profound for the audience in the stands, but for Pan Shanyu, who was currently battling, the feeling was undoubtedly the deepest.
He had no idea how many trump cards the opponent had. Every new Pokémon thrown out brought him new surprises.
He had only felt this way when he first became a trainer, facing older senior students in battle.
The current Wobbuffet was clearly unable to take another hit from Tyranitar.
This opposing Tyranitar's stamina was also ridiculously resilient.
Helplessly, he could only issue this unavoidable command, "Destiny Bond!"
"Wobb...uffet..."
Wobbuffet used up its last bit of stamina. A dark purple energy emanated from its body, finally following Tyranitar like a shadow.
[Destiny Bond]: After using this move, if the user faints from an opponent's attack, the opponent will also faint. If used consecutively, it will fail.
This is the in-game description of the skill.
But in reality, during a battle, the success rate of this skill was linked to many factors such as level, Pokémon species, and the current state of both sides.
At the same time, this skill was very difficult to dodge.
Unless one had extreme speed, after the opponent fainted, one could directly move far away from the area, so that the opponent's energy couldn't track your position.
But in an arena, this move was naturally unavoidable and soon landed on Tyranitar.
Under the gazes of both trainers, Tyranitar's body finally collapsed.
Seeing this, Pan Shanyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, at least it wasn't a clean sweep.
Although, he had used five Pokémon to trade for one of the opponent's.
Thinking about it strangely, there was even a bit of a sense of accomplishment?
But it was this sense of accomplishment that made him even more astonished.
Damn it, this was a junior! Not some long-famous Elite Four level trainer, or a national-level Gym Leader!
And watching the fallen Tyranitar, Hikaru looked a bit embarrassed as he recalled it, "You worked hard."
In terms of effect, although the beating Tyranitar took was worth it, Hikaru still felt a bit bad.
"Wobbuffet and Tyranitar are unable to battle! Both contestants, please release your Pokémon within thirty seconds!"
Seeing both Pokémon down, the commentator promptly announced the battle result.
The two faced each other from across the vast arena.
Pan Shanyu suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly. His voice wasn't loud, yet it clearly spread to every corner of the arena and the audience stands.
"To think I considered myself the foremost among trainers of my generation. Now it seems, there are always heavens beyond heaven, and people beyond people."
His voice held not just self-mockery, but also a hint of relief. Being at the top for a long time brought not only honor and fame but also pressure, overwhelming pressure weighing down on him.
Although before, it was Liu Xuan from North China University who was contending with him for the championship,
In reality, the two of them often battled privately, and every time, he was the victor.
Liu Xuan himself knew he was just there to share some of Pan Shanyu's pressure.
Such a feeling was not pleasant.
Just like before, when those few Sakura Country trainers had made the atmosphere of the Youth League foul and murky, the first person everyone thought of to solve the problem was him.
But in fact, at that time, he also didn't know how to handle the situation.
Fortunately, at this moment, Hikaru had appeared out of nowhere.
Or rather, not entirely out of nowhere. He had already shown his brilliance in the previous High School League. It was just that no one had expected him to continue undefeated until now.
"Senior is still very outstanding."
Hikaru didn't hold back his praise.
Was there any comparability between Pan Shanyu and himself?
No, one could say absolutely none. After all, he was a man with cheats.
On this point, Hikaru was self-aware.
"Heh heh."
Pan Shanyu chuckled lightly and took out his last Poké Ball, "Come out, Persian."
This was a cat-like Pokémon about the size of a leopard, with a red gem on its forehead. Under his training, its limbs were clearly strong and powerful, its fur glossy and bright. Evidently, it was an excellently raised Persian.
From Hikaru's [Eye of Scrutiny], one could also see.
[Pokémon: Persian]
[Ability: Technician]
[Gender: Male]
[Talent: Elite Four]
[Level: 59]
[Moves: Scratch, Growl, Fake Out, Switcheroo, Pursuit, Fury Swipes, Screech, Slash, Agility, Double-Edge....]
Another Pokémon nearing Elite Four strength.
It had to be said, even in this place that gathered most of Huaxia's young trainers, such a Pokémon was extremely rare.
Almost at the same moment, Hikaru also summoned his Pokémon—Lucario.
Against a Normal-type Pokémon, the Fighting-type Lucario undoubtedly had an advantage.
And most importantly, Lucario was now level 49, just one step away from Master level.
It had also clearly told Hikaru that it wanted an oppressive battle to further break through its Aura.
Among Hikaru's Pokémon, its existence was very special. On one hand, it had combat power comparable to Charizard and Greninja; on the other hand, all this combat power came from various amplifications.
Among which, [Kaioken] played the primary role.
"Luca!"
When the proud little dog appeared in the arena, everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Based on preconceived notions, everyone knew that the first Mega Evolved Pokémon Hikaru released was Lucario.
And Lucario, whether it had a power burst or not, that calm, unruffled expression on its face always made them feel that this wasn't like a Pokémon, but rather a master who had seen through the vanity of the world.
Albeit a fighting master.
"Meow!"
Pan Shanyu, having waited for a long time without seeing Lucario "power burst," his expression changed, "Don't underestimate us either, okay? Persian, Fake Out!"
With his keen eye, he quickly saw that the current Lucario was at the critical period before Master level. So Hikaru's intention not to let it power burst or Mega Evolve at this time was obvious....
