Chapter 1000: About Champion Percy Challenging a Tournament Newbie - Part 2
Although it seemed inconceivable, Percy still chose to believe it possible, and he planned to give it his all.
But even if his opponent was of the Champion level, Percy remained composed.
Champion Level Pokemon, he had indeed defeated too many of them.
"Then, I shall serve as the referee," Lady Erika volunteered.
Although Venusaur was no longer visible, witnessing Mr. Lance's battle was also a pleasure.
Plus, who knows, Fang Yuan might send out that powerful Venusaur, right?
If that were the case, it would be delightful, thought Lady Erika.
"The rules will be one-on-one, how's that?" Percy looked toward Fang Yuan. If Fang Yuan was a skilled Trainer, their gaze should suffice to understand each other's meaning.
"Of course," Fang Yuan nodded.
The two smiled at each other, neither mentioning the matter of the Inspection Glasses, but both keenly aware that this battle belonged to Eevee, the culprit behind their destruction.
Only Lady Erika was still naively waiting for Fang Yuan to send out that "powerful" Venusaur.
......
With Referee Lady Erika's command, "Begin the battle," the match between Percy and Fang Yuan finally commenced.
Percy was the first to send out his Pokemon, and with a flash of red light, the entire battlefield airspace trembled violently.
A muscular, orange-bodied Dragonite suddenly appeared in midair!!
"Roar!!"
This Dragonite spread its wings and stretched its arms, as if pushing the surrounding space away, a fierce airstream dispersing around it; time and space nearby seemed to freeze—a Dragonite that clearly wasn't Fang Yuan's, but Percy's trump card, his strongest Pokemon as the Champion of Quartz Plateau.
With a proud demeanor and fierce gaze, everything about this Dragonite indicated it was out of the ordinary; it hovered high above, waiting for its opponent to appear.
"Bwoo!"
Fang Yuan's side was not to be outdone; Eevee, having decided that settling a "grudge" through a fight was best, jumped down from Fang Yuan's shoulder and, after sprinting onto the battleground, pressed its paws firmly against the ground, and raised its head to earnestly lock eyes with that seemingly powerful Dragonite.
Percy VS Fang Yuan!
Dragonite VS Eevee!
"Uh..." What was initially a serious battle turned awkward with Referee Lady Erika's surprised "Uh..."
Lady Erika was bewildered.
Mr. Lance had actually sent out his ace, Dragonite?
Well, it didn't matter; whatever Pokemon he sent out was sure to win.
But for Fang Yuan to send out that... what looked like a pet Eevee??
Wasn't that Eevee just a pet??!
But no matter how she thought about it, that Eevee couldn't possibly be stronger than the enormous Venusaur that wielded the Dominant Field, right?!
Lady Erika screamed in her head, but she quickly regained her composure, reminding herself that she, as the referee, couldn't be distracted at this moment...
Right... watch carefully!
At this time, Percy and Fang Yuan had already given their first commands simultaneously.
"Dragonite, Extreme Speed!"
"Eevee, Tackle!"
The voices of both Trainers rang out almost at the same time, and as they did, the Dragonite in the sky, eyes blood-red as if Outrage had been activated, its entire body shrouded in brilliant white light.
The next instant, Dragonite vanished from its spot, leaving behind only a white afterimage in the area.
"So fast—" This scene was beyond Lady Erika's ability to articulate. If it were at this speed, how could her Grass Type Pokemon possibly compete?
And what about Eevee?
On the ground, Eevee was also going all out, its entire body enveloped in brilliant white light, and with a "crack," the ground exploded with the sound of splitting earth. Similarly, on the ground as in midair, only a streak of white light remained where Eevee had vanished.
The speed of both Pokemon was too fast for the Trainers to react with their own eyes.
Therefore, the first thing everyone heard was a thunderous "Bang!!!"
Then, the scene gradually became clear.
In midair, the Dragonite who had dived down at Extreme Speed collided with Eevee, who had jumped up from the ground with a Tackle. Their bodies stilled upon impact, white light compressed between them, fearsome air burst forth with audible whimpers, creating white bolts of lightning, as if the collision had shattered the air itself, leaving behind numerous fractures— an immensely shocking sight.
The next second.
There was another "boom,"
The powerful collision caused Dragonite's expression to change as it was repelled by a massive reactionary force, hurtling towards the ceiling; finally, it managed to stop itself with a mighty flap of its wings.
Dragonite steadied itself, retracting its wings and feeling the sharp pain in its body. It looked down in shock.
The collision took a greater toll on Eevee. It was slammed into the ground, creating a huge crater upon impact, and although Eevee desperately tried to soften the blow with Confusion, Dragonite's strength was much greater, and Eevee couldn't withstand it, resulting in smoke enshrouding the ground.
In the first collision, Eevee lost.
Its Partner Skill Tackle was powerful, but in terms of strength and speed, Dragonite still had the edge.
"Top Guardian God..." Fang Yuan softly uttered, gazing at the sky without speaking out loud, but his lips formed these words.
Was Percy's trump card Dragonite truly a Top Guardian God in strength?
