Pokémon: Master System.

"boom!"

A violent explosion rang out, and the huge, dark purple "ghost fire" burst open, splitting into countless smaller ghost fires that exploded like fireworks, spraying in all directions. Some of the ghost fire skills even sprayed towards the audience seats, creating a dangerous situation.

Fortunately, the battlefield was set up according to the standards of a top-tier fighter, which provided excellent protection for the audience.

Otherwise, if it were a battleground for a master-level player, these spectators might actually be accidentally injured.

…………

"Xia Yu seems to be at a disadvantage."

"Wu Chongwen is so strong, and the Tomb Raider is so strong, completely overwhelming Dramberto."

"I would say Xia Yu's performance was actually quite good. For a freshman, it's already impressive that he could fight like this against a veteran Elite Four level trainer like Wu Chongwen."

As the audience discussed, Draco was completely outmatched in this round of Dragon Pulse and Will-O-Wisp battle.

Of course, this was within Xia Yu's expectations, after all, the gap in strength was still there.

Xia Yu naturally wouldn't assume that a near-Elite Four level Draco Balto could overpower a peak Elite Four level Tomb Raider.

Although Dorambaruto is exceptionally talented, you are a genius, but others are geniuses too!

Pokémon that can reach the Elite Four level are all exceptionally talented and have worked hard for many years.

We're all geniuses, so why are you able to surpass everyone else despite being at a different level?!

…………

Will-o'-the-wisps scattered across the sky, blooming like fireworks. Faced with the flying will-o'-the-wisps, Dronbalut could only rely on his speed to dodge them, putting him at a disadvantage.

"Graveyard Dog!" Wu Chongwen frowned as he watched this scene. He had thought that Graveyard Dog's upgraded "Will-o'-the-Wisp" would be enough to seriously damage Draco, but he did not expect it to be defended.

"Use the latent spirit to launch a surprise attack!"

Chapter 467 Dorambaruto vs. Graveyard Dog

A stealthy attack.

This is a skill that Draco is most familiar with, and Draco has mastered an advanced version of Dimensional Assault.

Xia Yu was also quite familiar with this skill; it was a high-power, charge-up skill that could ignore defensive skills.

The surging ghost-type energy emanating from the Graveyard Hound forcefully tore a rift in the air, and it plunged directly into the other-dimensional space, disappearing without a trace.

Faced with the Tomb Raider Dog that had infiltrated into another dimension, Xia Yu had two choices.

One option is to have Dralongbalut use the Spirit Sneak Attack as well!

In this way, when Graveyard Dog charges up and launches its attack, Dralongato can hide in the alternate dimension and avoid Graveyard Dog's sneak attack!

This is also a little trick of stealth attack. When both sides use stealth attack, the second player has an advantage over the first player.

The second option is to continue with the Dragon Dance or use other transformation skills to strengthen yourself!

"Dorambaruto, Reflector!"

Xia Yu hesitated for a moment before deciding to have Dorambaruto activate Reflection Barrier!

Since this battle will definitely not end so quickly, instead of greedily taking a single burst of damage from a stealthy attack, it's better to activate Reflection Barrier and prepare for a protracted battle.

A surge of psychic energy appeared, and Draco created a reflective barrier in front of him to protect himself.

"It seems that Xia Yu is prepared for a protracted battle."

"Graveyard is a pure physical attack type Pokémon with extremely weak special attack. Using Reflect can weaken Graveyard's offense, and Xia Yu's choice is clearly intended to prolong the battle."

"I originally thought Wu Chongwen would win with an absolute crushing victory, but it seems that the Tomb Raiders will have to put in a lot of effort to beat Dorambaruto."

…………

Hearing Xia Yu's command and the surrounding discussions, Wu Chongwen frowned. He realized that winning this match might not be easy.

Is it even possible that I might lose this game?

The moment such a thought crossed Wu Chongwen's mind, he chuckled and shook his head.

How could I lose?

How could a Tomb Raider with peak Celestial-level strength possibly lose to Draco, who has near-Celestial-level strength?

I can't possibly lose.

But when Wu Chongwen looked at the glittering Doronbaruto in front of him and Xia Yu's resolute expression, he suddenly felt a little dazed.

If I were to be defeated by Xia Yu, I would be forever branded with shame, becoming a supporting character and foil to Xia Yu.

No, I absolutely cannot lose.

A sinister glint flashed in Wu Chongwen's eyes as he focused his gaze on the field. At the same time, the Tomb Raider had already completed its charge.

A crack appeared out of thin air, and Graveyard Hound's body burst out of it, enveloped in Ghost-type energy. It leaped up with astonishing speed and slammed into Dragapult in mid-air.

"Dronbaruto, raid!"

Faced with the attack from the Tomb Raider, Xia Yu ordered Dorambaruto to counterattack!

"Dragon Baruto is definitely no match for Graveyard Dog; the difference in strength between the two is too great."

"Graveyard Dog is a Pokémon that leans towards physical attack. The Will-O-Wisp move it just used is stronger than Dragapult's STAB Dragon Pulse, not to mention its current Phantom Assault."

"Not necessarily. Dragapult is also more of a physical attack Pokémon, and it used Dragon Dance once, which boosted its attack and speed. With the help of Reflect, Dragapult might not be a match for Graveyard.

…………

The audience watched the two Pokémon launch their attack and discussed among themselves, speculating about who would gain the upper hand in this round of combat.

Watching Xia Yu and Duolongbalut from below the stage, Long Yanning was also slightly nervous, her fingers twisting together. She silently prayed and cheered for Xia Yu.

She never imagined that Xia Yu's Draco Balut would have such powerful strength so soon after evolving.

Xia Yu really has a chance to win.

Xia Yu has always been someone who excels at creating miracles. Since he became a trainer, how many miracles has he created?

…………

The spotlight shone on the field.

Enveloped in Dark-type energy, Dragapult, like a swimming dragon, shot out as fast as a black lightning bolt, displaying astonishing speed!

"So fast!"

"I can't see Dorombalto at all!"

"As expected of a Dragon-type Pokémon known for its speed!"

Dorombalto accelerated continuously, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him, his body taut and straight, like an arrow released from a bow.

The triangular head slammed into the graveyard dog like a pair of scissors.

The black Dark-type energy clashed with the dark purple Ghost-type energy.

"boom!"

The collision of power and energy stirred up waves of air and produced a tremendous roar.

The dragon's body was pushed backward by a tremendous force, and the Tomb Raider's body was also pushed backward.

"We held on!"

"It seems the Graveyard Dog has a slight advantage! But Doronbaruto hasn't been injured either!"

"This result is already quite good. The two are so different in strength, yet Dorambaruto is only slightly behind. Perhaps Xia Yu really has a chance to win this match!"

In this clash between the surprise attack and the stealthy attack, Dorambaruto was still slightly at a disadvantage, but it gave Xia Yu and the audience a glimmer of hope for victory.

Because you should know that Dragapult's Sucker Punch is not a STAB move, while Graveyard Hound uses STAB Phantom Assault.

In this situation, Dorombalut was only slightly at a disadvantage.

If Dragapult had used a STAB move, it might have actually been able to defeat Graveyard!

If you can control the duration of the reflector wall, you really have a chance to win the game!

…………

Wu Chongwen's face was ashen; he had already lost the match at this point.

He had already lost if he didn't quickly defeat Xia Yu.

It's incredibly embarrassing that a top-tier trainer like him could fight a complete novice trainer to a standstill.

Wu Chongwen took a deep breath, clearing his mind of all distractions. Things had come to this point, and he couldn't worry about anything else.

Now that we've already lost face, the only thing we can do is absolutely not lose!

"Graveyard Dog, Sandstorm!" Seeing that he couldn't defeat Draco in a short time, Wu Chongwen decided to change his strategy and had Graveyard Dog unleash the weather-type move Sandstorm.

This way, you can activate Graveyard's Sand Rush ability and deplete Dragapult's stamina at the same time, which is a win-win situation.

With a long howl from the Graveyard Hound, rock-type energy transformed into an energy ball that flew out of the Graveyard Hound's body, suddenly shattering into a sandstorm that filled the sky.

"It seems that Wu Chongwen has also taken Xia Yu seriously. Instead of blindly attacking, he has chosen to activate the Sandstorm weather and activate Graveyard King's Sand Rush ability. This will directly double Graveyard King's speed!"

Xia Yu frowned. Sure enough, at the Elite Four level, no one was a fool or a reckless brute.
