“Kid, you’ve got some skills!” Li Xiang licked his lips, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
Jiang Mo smiled faintly, “You’re not bad yourself.”
Outside the arena, the onlookers were already in an uproar.
“Holy cow! This freshman can actually go toe-to-toe with Senior Li Xiang!”
“He’s too fierce! If that knee strike had hit me, I’d probably be down already!”
“Senior Li Xiang is a man who can go head-to-head with a Machoke, and this freshman can fight him evenly. It’s unbelievable!”
“Look, that Pikachu is also amazing. It can fight Hawlucha to a standstill!”
“What’s this freshman’s background? How is he so strong?”
......
In the arena, the battle grew more intense.
“Chama!”
Hawlucha soared into the air again, wings spread, using Flying Press, ready to launch a new round of attacks.
“Pika Pika!”
Pikachu was also determined to fight it, using Iron Tail to clash directly with it.
Jiang Mo and Li Xiang’s close combat also entered a white-hot stage.
Li Xiang’s fists came like a storm, each blow carrying astonishing power.
Jiang Mo grimaced as he defended. Although Tokiwa Power was restoring his stamina and injuries, Li Xiang’s fists were truly hard; it really hurt when they landed.
“Kid, who exactly are you?” Li Xiang couldn’t help but ask while attacking.
Jiang Mo forced a smile and replied, “I’m just an ordinary Trainer, why? Running out of strength?”
Upon hearing this, a hint of appreciation flashed in Li Xiang’s eyes, “Good! Then let me see just how strong you are!”
Before he finished speaking, Li Xiang’s offensive suddenly accelerated, his fists pounding towards Jiang Mo like cannonballs.
Jiang Mo’s eyes narrowed, his body sinking slightly, and he crossed his hands in front of his chest, taking Li Xiang’s punches head-on.
“Bang!”
With a muffled thud, Jiang Mo was pushed back several steps but quickly stabilized himself.
He shook his slightly numb arm, but a smile curved on his lips.
“My turn,” Jiang Mo said in a low voice.
The next moment, Tokiwa Power operated at full capacity, and Jiang Mo’s injuries instantly healed by more than half.
At the same time, his figure flashed like a ghost to Li Xiang’s side, delivering a hand chop directly to Li Xiang’s shoulder.
Li Xiang reacted too slowly and was knocked back a few steps by the blow. He couldn’t help but curse Jiang Mo for being so tough.
After all, no matter how sturdy his body was, it was still made of flesh, and Jiang Mo’s punches would still hurt him.
At the same time, Pikachu also seized the opportunity, striking Hawlucha directly with a Thunderbolt.
Hawlucha was hit by the electric current, letting out a cry of pain, and fell from the air.
“Hawlucha!” Li Xiang’s expression changed at the sight.
Jiang Mo didn’t give him a chance to breathe, quickly commanding, “Pikachu, Electro Ball!”
Pikachu flicked its tail, and an Electro Ball quickly condensed, heading straight for Hawlucha.
Li Xiang gritted his teeth and shouted, “Hawlucha, dodge quickly!”
Hawlucha barely managed to prop itself up, trying to dodge, but the Electro Ball was too fast, and it had no time to react.
“Boom!”
“Chama!”
The Electro Ball hit Hawlucha, erupting in dazzling light.
Hawlucha let out a tragic cry, then fell to the ground, unable to move.
“Hawlucha is unable to battle!” the referee Rotom announced loudly.
Li Xiang stood frozen, clearly not expecting his Hawlucha to be defeated so quickly.
Without the assistance of his Pokémon, he couldn’t withstand the combined attack of Jiang Mo and Pikachu. After all, no matter how tough his body was, he couldn’t take a Thunderbolt from Pikachu.
If this were a wild battle in the wilderness, and he had no other Pokémon, he could already declare himself dead.
Li Xiang looked at Jiang Mo, then at Pikachu, and finally gave a bitter smile, “Kid, you win.”
At this moment, Rotom’s screen displayed exaggerated emoticons, announcing loudly, “Rotom! 「(ΩДΩ)!! Research Department freshman Jiang Mo wins by crushing victory!!」 Rotom!”
“Koujie!”
The Haunter nearby was also very excited. After seeing its Trainer win, it danced around, making funny faces at the surrounding onlookers.
As if saying: See that? That person on the field is my Trainer! (˵¯͒♦¯͒˵)
.....
On the field, Jiang Mo smiled faintly, stepped forward, and extended his hand, saying, “You were gracious.”
Li Xiang grasped Jiang Mo’s hand and shook it firmly, “You’re very strong. I’m completely convinced of my loss. However, next time I won’t give up so easily!”
Jiang Mo nodded, “Anytime.”
Outside the arena, the surrounding crowd erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.
“That was amazing! This Junior Jiang Mo is simply invincible!”
“Senior Li Xiang actually lost, I never expected it!”
“That Pikachu is too strong, it actually defeated Hawlucha!”
“What’s this Jiang Mo’s background? How is he so good at battling too?”
......
Jiang Mo ignored the surrounding chatter and walked over to Pikachu, gently patting its head, “Well done, Pikachu.”
“Pika!” Pikachu excitedly jumped onto Jiang Mo’s shoulder, the electric current on its tail still sparkling.
Li Xiang walked over, patted Jiang Mo’s shoulder, and said, “Kid, let’s formally introduce ourselves. I’m Li Xiang from the Fighting Club. What’s your name?”
“Jiang Mo.”
“Good, Jiang Mo, I’ll remember you. Next time we have a chance, let’s battle again!”
Jiang Mo smiled and nodded, “I look forward to it.”
“Junior Jiang Mo, you’re so strong, are you interested in joining our Fighting Club?” After the battle ended, Li Xiang immediately had the idea of recruiting him.
Jiang Mo was stunned for a moment, then refused, “Senior Li Xiang, thank you for your kind offer, but I’ll pass for now. I don’t plan on joining any clubs at the moment.”
Are you kidding? As the dignified Young Master of Dawn, how could I, Jiang Mo, join a small club to be a minor member? Even if they let him be the president, he wouldn’t be interested.
Li Xiang was still trying to persuade Jiang Mo to join the Fighting Club when suddenly, a clear, cold female voice came from not far away, carrying a hint of mockery and playfulness.
“Oh, isn’t this Vice President Li Xiang of the Fighting Club? What, bullying freshmen again?”
Jiang Mo and Li Xiang turned their heads at the same time, only to see several women slowly approaching.
They wore uniform white uniforms with an exquisite Psychic Power Club badge pinned to their chests.
Most notably, several silver spoons floated around them, gently swaying with their steps, as if supported by an invisible force.
The leading woman was tall with long hair reaching her waist, and her brows carried a hint of cold arrogance.
She played with a spoon in her hand, her gaze sweeping over Li Xiang, finally landing on Jiang Mo, a meaningful smile curving on her lips.
“It’s Vice President Lei Xiang of the Psychic Power Club. I heard she and Senior Li Xiang are from the same year, and they’ve had some history since they enrolled.”
““What, what! Is there more gossip to hear? Li Xiang, Lei Xiang, hehehe, those names match quite well…”
The onlookers, eager for a show, didn’t mind the trouble, while the people from the Fighting Club were on high alert.
