Lu Jiyin’s heart sank; he hadn't expected Fujiwara Chika to use a move like Comeback.
He recalled Arcanine, and said in a low voice, “You’ve worked hard, Arcanine.”
“Arcanine and Toxicroak are both unable to battle. Please send out your next Pokémon, both contestants,” Rotom said.
Hearing that, Lu Jiyin sent out his Lucario.
As soon as Lucario appeared, it immediately struck a battle pose, its eyes filled with fighting spirit.
Fujiwara Chika, on the other hand, threw out a Venusaur.
“Dah nah!”
As soon as Venusaur appeared, it let out a low growl, full of imposing presence.
“Lucario, use Aura Sphere!”
Lu Jiyin attacked first.
Lucario gathered a blue Energy Ball in its hands and launched it straight at Venusaur.
Fujiwara Chika remained calm and ordered, “Venusaur, use Synthesis!”
After taking a hit, Venusaur glowed green and quickly recovered its stamina.
Lu Jiyin frowned, secretly wary.
Venusaur’s defense and recovery abilities were both strong; he had to finish the battle quickly.
“Lucario, use Swords Dance!”
Lu Jiyin decided to boost Lucario’s attack power.
Lucario rapidly spun its body, greatly increasing its attack power.
Seeing this, Fujiwara Chika sneered, “Venusaur, use Sleep Powder!”
Venusaur shook its body, scattering a cloud of Sleep Powder. Lu Jiyin’s heart tightened, and he quickly ordered, “Lucario, use Detect!”
A glint flashed in Lucario’s eyes, and it successfully dodged the Sleep Powder.
Lu Jiyin seized the opportunity and immediately ordered, “Lucario, use Close Combat!”
Lucario quickly closed in on Venusaur, landing a fierce Close Combat hit on Venusaur.
“Ora ora ora!”
Venusaur was knocked back several steps, evidently taking significant damage.
Fujiwara Chika’s expression changed, and she quickly ordered, “Venusaur, use Solar Beam!”
Venusaur began to gather energy, preparing to unleash Solar Beam.
Lu Jiyin’s heart tightened; he couldn't let this Grass-type ultimate move be successfully released.
“Lucario, use Extreme Speed!”
Lu Jiyin ordered. Lucario instantly accelerated, slamming into Venusaur.
Venusaur was knocked off balance, and its Solar Beam was interrupted.
Lu Jiyin seized the opportunity and immediately ordered, “Lucario, use Aura Sphere!”
Lucario gathered a blue Energy Ball in its hands and launched it straight at Venusaur.
Venusaur was hit by the Aura Sphere, letting out a cry of pain, and finally collapsed to the ground.
Fujiwara Chika’s face darkened. She recalled Venusaur and sent out her Seismitoad.
As soon as Seismitoad appeared, it let out a roar, full of imposing presence.
Lu Jiyin took a deep breath, preparing to win the match in one go.
He saw a Key Stone flash on his wrist, then shouted loudly, “Lucario, Mega Evolution!”
Lucario glowed with a dazzling light, then its form changed, becoming Mega Lucario.
“Mega Evolution, it’s Mega Evolution!”
“He actually has Lucario’s Mega Stone!”
A chorus of exclamations immediately erupted in the stands; everyone was shocked by this scene.
Fujiwara Chika’s expression changed; she clearly hadn't expected Lu Jiyin to possess the ability to Mega Evolve.
She gritted her teeth and ordered, “Seismitoad, use Earth Power!”
Seismitoad reacted quickly, launching a fierce Earth Power at Mega Lucario.
However, after Mega Evolution, Mega Lucario’s speed greatly increased, and it successfully dodged the damage from Earth Power.
Seeing this, Lu Jiyin sneered and ordered, “Mega Lucario, Aura Sphere followed by Bone Rush!”
Mega Lucario gathered a huge blue Energy Ball in its hands and launched it straight at Seismitoad.
Scolipede was hit by the Aura Sphere, letting out a cry of pain, and then Mega Lucario conjured a bone staff and launched a frenzied attack on Seismitoad.
Finally, Seismitoad couldn't hold on and lost its ability to battle.
Fujiwara Chika’s face was pale. She recalled Seismitoad and had no choice but to send out her next Pokémon—Vileplume.
As soon as Vileplume appeared, it immediately struck a battle pose.
Lu Jiyin took a deep breath and ordered, “Mega Lucario, use Close Combat!”
Mega Lucario quickly closed in on Vileplume, landing a fierce Close Combat hit on it.
Vileplume was knocked back several steps, evidently taking significant damage.
Fujiwara Chika gritted her teeth and ordered, “Vileplume, use Petal Dance!”
Vileplume began to spin its body, scattering a flurry of petals. Lu Jiyin’s heart tightened, and he quickly ordered, “Mega Lucario, use Detect!”
A glint flashed in Mega Lucario’s eyes, but this time it failed and was hit hard by Petal Dance.
Lu Jiyin continued to order, “Mega Lucario, use Aura Sphere!”
Mega Lucario gathered a huge blue Energy Ball in its hands and launched it straight at Vileplume.
Vileplume was hit by the Aura Sphere, letting out a cry of pain, and finally collapsed to the ground.
......
There was no suspense in the subsequent matches. Mega Lucario successfully defeated three Pokémon in a row, and Fujiwara Chika only had two Pokémon left.
Besides the greatly exhausted Lucario, Lu Jiyin still had four Pokémon.
Finally, Lu Jiyin switched to Lycanroc and Torterra, defeating Fujiwara Chika’s Scolipede and Stantler respectively, and winning the match.
As Fujiwara Chika’s avatar dimmed on the screen, Rotom loudly announced, “Stantler is unable to battle! All of Fujiwara Chika’s Pokémon are unable to battle! The winner is contestant Lu Jiyin from Xilong University!”
A cheer immediately erupted in the stands. Lu Jiyin let out a long sigh of relief and recalled Torterra.
He turned to look at Lin Junjun in the stands, flashing a brilliant smile.
Lin Junjun also smiled, waving at him, “You’re impressive, you’ve made something of yourself!”
Lu Jiyin felt a surge of excitement; he had finally shown off in front of Jun Jun.
Fujiwara Chika’s face was grim as she recalled Vileplume.
She walked up to Lu Jiyin, immediately changing to a charming smile, and said, “Jiyin-kun, congratulations on your win. You’re truly so manly. Tonight, could we…”
Lu Jiyin felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and repeatedly refused, “Miss Chika, there’s no need. I have something to do tonight, I don’t have time.”
Fujiwara Rine walked forward, glanced at Jiang Mo, and then left the arena with Fujiwara Chika.
Jiang Mo walked over to Lu Jiyin, patted his shoulder, “Well done, Da Shao Lu.”
Lu Jiyin raised an eyebrow and exaggeratedly said, “It was easy-peasy! With this young master making a move, this kind of opponent is simply no match!”
Lin Junjun also walked over, angrily saying, “No match? I think you were almost taken in by that vixen, weren’t you? Look at your eyes, where are you looking?!”
Lu Jiyin scratched his head, pleadingly saying, “Heaven knows, Jun Jun, I didn’t look at anything I shouldn’t have. Actually, the main reason I won was because you came to cheer me on, which gave me motivation.”
Lin Junjun’s face reddened, and she whispered, “Pfft, I… I was just passing by.”
Jiang Mo looked at the two of them, shaking his head helplessly.
