Pokémon: Master System.

People never laugh at someone's arrogant attitude; they only laugh at someone's weakness and incompetence.

The biggest reason why Xia Yu dared to post that Douyin video was that he had a champion-level Lizard King, a champion-level Charmeleon, and a near-champion-level Nozzle as his backing.

With such a luxurious configuration, he doesn't think he'll be inferior to the top experts once Charizard evolves into Charizard.

If Xia Yu were to encounter Xiang Hanli again, he would be confident of a fight.

…………

"In Arena 8, Lord-level Trainer Xia Yu will face off against Lord-level Trainer Li Wei. The rules of the match will be chosen by Li Wei."

"2V2 singles".

Judging from his appearance, Li Wei should be about the same age as Xia Yu; both are students participating in this year's University Cup.

Looking at Li Wei, even though he had adjusted his mindset, Xia Yu was still a little nervous. After all, his words on Douyin were too arrogant. If the other party criticized him, how should he trash talk back?

What if we can't win an argument with them?

Li Wei, however, was very polite: "Hello Xia Yu, I'm your fan. Can I take a photo with you after the match?"

Li Wei's attitude made Xia Yu a little embarrassed, and he had to swallow back all the trash talk he had prepared. Luckily, he almost offended his ally. He could only smile and nod, "Of course."

"Game start."

"Go, Charizard!"

"Go, Venusaur."

Today's weather was exceptionally clear, essentially a natural sunny day skill. Coupled with the 2V2 singles match, Xia Yu naturally sent out Charizard as the first pick.

Because of the sunny weather, Charmeleon can directly trigger its Solar Power ability without using the Sunny Day move. Similarly, Xia Yu's gaze swept over the opponent's Venusaur, whose ability was the extremely rare Chlorophyll, which doubles its Speed ​​in Sunny Day conditions.

Chlorophyll, like Solar Power, is a weather-dependent trait; one increases Special Attack, and the other increases Speed.

It seems that Li Wei also had the same idea as him, wanting to take advantage of today's naturally sunny weather to trigger his special ability and win the victory.

Facing his opponent's Venusaur, even though Charmeleon had not yet evolved into its final form, Xia Yu was not afraid at all. With the advantage of its type and the qualifications of a champion, Xia Yu was full of confidence in his Charmeleon.

Let's see if my Charmeleon is stronger, or your Venusaur is stronger!

"Venusaur, use the Growth skill."

At the start of the match, Li Wei was quite greedy. Instead of taking advantage of Venusaur's speed under sunny weather to launch an attack, he chose to let Venusaur enhance its skill growth.

The Growth skill can boost both Attack and Special Attack, and the effect is doubled under sunny weather. Venusaur was enveloped in fluorescent green Grass-type energy, its back flowers greedily absorbing the energy, appearing to bloom even more vibrantly, and its size seemed to have increased considerably.

"Charmeleon, unleash the most powerful heatwave!"

Almost simultaneously with Li Wei's order, Xia Yu chose to have Charmeleon use its wide-range hot air attack.

Since the opponent chose to start with a buffing move, Xia Yu naturally seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. The reason why Xia Yu did not choose to let Charizard use Flamethrower was because Heat Wave has a wider range, which would prevent Venusaur with the Chlorophyll ability from dodging the move.

A scorching aura erupted, its power a terrifying level amplified by the clear sky and the sun's energy. A tidal wave of orange-red heat surged towards Venusaur, instantly engulfing and covering it, as if it were being roasted in a furnace.

Even with the referee's Pokémon protecting them, the audience sitting behind Venusaur could still feel waves of heat, making them sweat profusely.

Li Wei greedily wanted to strengthen Venusaur, greatly enhancing its attack and magic attack, and then using its Chlorophyll ability to sweep the team. However, he clearly underestimated Charmeleon's offensive capabilities.

Even though Xia Yu's Charizard hasn't evolved into Charizard yet, under the influence of a sunny day, a single STAB Heat Wave move is definitely something its Venusaur can't withstand.

Venusaur, using its Growth skill to gather fluorescent green Grass-type energy, had no intention of dodging and chose to directly confront the powerful Heat Wave move head-on with its massive body.

"Dah!"

Venusaur, facing the Heat Wave move, let out a painful howl. Under the scorching heat, its body was directly ignited, and it trembled uncontrollably. The intense pain directly interrupted Venusaur's Growth move.

Seeing that Venusaur was not behaving properly, Li Wei realized something was wrong and quickly ordered, "Venusaur, use photosynthesis!"

However, it was too late at this point. The scorching hot wind ignited Venusaur's body, immersing it in flames. Venusaur cried out in pain and collapsed to the ground.

The referee, quick-witted and nimble, raised his flag, declaring Venusaur the loser of the first round, and immediately sent out a Pokémon to rescue Venusaur and help it put out the fire.

"Charmander wins the first round!"

…………

The first match started strong but ended weakly; no one expected that Li Wei's Venusaur would be instantly defeated by Xia Yu's Charmeleon with a single Heat Wave move.

"Li Wei is too greedy. I've fought him before. His Venusaur has the Chlorophyll ability. If he had chosen to attack first and let Venusaur use Earth Power, he might have had a chance to win."

"He underestimated Xia Yu. Although Xia Yu's Charizard didn't evolve into Charizard, its ability is Solar Power. With Sunny Day, Solar Power, type advantage, and STAB support, Venusaur simply couldn't withstand the heat."

"This weather is too favorable for Xia Yu. Any Pokémon that is weak to Fire-type will definitely not be able to withstand such a powerful hot wind."

"Li Wei must send out Water, Rock, Fire, or Dragon type Pokémon, as only these four types of Pokémon can resist Fire-type moves."

…………

Li Wei recalled his Venusaur. He hadn't expected his Venusaur to lose so decisively. He took a deep breath, took out a Poké Ball from his waist, and threw it out.

"Up, Flareon."

Chapter 158 Flareon!

Flareon with the Flashfire ability.

Xia Yu immediately checked Li Wei's Flareon. Its strength wasn't particularly high compared to others of the same level. Its move pool leaned towards annoying, dirty tactics, so be careful. Apart from that, it only had the Flash Fire ability, so be cautious.

"Fire dinosaur, the wave of the dragon."

Xia Yu was the first to order Charmeleon to use the Dragon Pulse move. Charmeleon was still under sunny skies, and its Solar Power ability was still active, causing it to lose stamina.

Therefore, Xia Yu raced against time to get Charizard to attack. Watching this, an idea suddenly came to Xia Yu's mind: perhaps he could help Charizard train to control its Solar Power ability, allowing it to turn the Solar Power ability on and off autonomously, activating it only during battle.

Xia Yu wasn't sure if he could do it, but this was the real world, and he had to keep trying. He secretly noted this down and planned to add it to Charmeleon's future training program.

"Protect, Flareon!"

Li Wei's Flareon clearly follows the strategy of using Toxic, Protect, Wish, and Yawn.

Xia Yu had seen Flareon's move pool from the start and was naturally prepared. His plan was to first use Dragon Pulse to bait out its Protect move, and then use Ancient Power to severely damage Flareon. Ancient Power, being a Rock-type move, was super effective against Flareon, and a surprise attack would definitely be enough to inflict heavy damage.

Charmeleon's Dragon Pulse was blocked by Flareon's Protect move. Xia Yu didn't want to waste any more time with Li Wei and directly ordered, "Charmeleon, Ancient Power!"

"Flame Eevee, yawn."

As Rock-type energy surged, the Rock-type energy orb formed by Primal Force flew toward Flareon.

"Get out of the way, Charmeleon!"

"Ow!"

Charmeleon responded to Xia Yu, dodging to the side. At such a distance, the Yawn attack was almost impossible to hit. Charmeleon easily dodged the Yawn attack and unleashed its Ancient Power once more.

"The continuous primal force."

Seeing that his skill had failed, Li Wei became somewhat anxious.

"Flame Eevee, dodge the Ancient Power!"

Flareon moves extremely fast, weaving through the field and constantly dodging Charizard's Ancient Power.

The two sides seemed to be locked in a stalemate, with Charmeleon continuously unleashing its Primal Power while Flareon kept dodging and closing in on Charmeleon.

Want to be close to someone?

Xia Yu saw through Li Wei's plan, but he was not in a hurry. Instead, he let the Charizard continue to use its primal power.

After several attempts to unleash Primal Power missed, Charizard suddenly erupted with energy, its aura surged, and in an instant, all of its abilities increased!

With all its abilities increased, Charmeleon's speed and power in unleashing Primal Force also improved. The sudden increase in speed caught Flareon off guard, and it was hit directly.

The Rock-type's advantage over the Fire-type instantly dealt a heavy blow to Flareon.

"This is the effect of the Primal Power! There is a very low probability that using the Primal Power will enhance all abilities!"

"No wonder he kept having Charmeleon use Ancient Power even though Charmeleon's Ancient Power couldn't hit Flareon."

"With all its abilities increased, Li Wei's Flareon will have a hard time defeating Charmeleon."

…………

"Continue to use primal power!"

At this moment, Charmeleon can be said to be showing its true power. It is a walking artillery platform. Its powerful firepower suppresses Flareon without giving it any chance to breathe. One after another, Ancient Power hits are like whips lashing Flareon, making it keep running away!

"Ow!"

Just then, as if things weren't going to get worse, Charmeleon triggered the effects of the Primal Force once again, boosting all its abilities once more.

"Protect, then use Wish, Flareon!"

The Light Shield formed, blocking the first wave of Primal Force, and Flareon took the opportunity to use the Wish skill. However, the healing effect of the Wish skill does not take effect immediately and requires a period of time to take effect.

Flareon simply couldn't fill that gap.

After Charmeleon's abilities were boosted for the second time, the speed of its Ancient Force increased again. The sudden acceleration made it impossible for Flareon to dodge Ancient Force, and it was hit head-on and instantly lost consciousness. Xia Yu won the match directly.

…………

Xia Yu's ability to defeat two opponents at once slightly changed everyone's opinion of him, from "just talking big" to "having some skill".

"Xia Yu is quite impressive. This Charmeleon isn't his trump card. I heard his trump card is a Forest Lizard."

"That was a month or two ago. I estimate that his forest lizard has evolved into a lizard king by now."
