As the referee announced the start of the battle.
Chen Ling gave instructions to his Blazing Ape, telling it to unleash a fierce attack with scorching flames.
Unlike Wu Tao, who had been showing off in the morning, Chen Ling had become cautious after witnessing the power of the Marsupial.
He was, of course, confident in his Blazing Ape, but… he couldn't quite grasp the Marsupial's strength.
In the uncertainty of the opponent's true power.
It was best to strike first.
“Marsupial, use Palm Strike!”
“Grrr!”
The Marsupial moved swiftly.
Before the Blazing Ape could gather its fiery energy and launch its Flame Splashes.
The Marsupial had already delivered a Palm Strike, hitting the Blazing Ape.
After being slapped by the Marsupial, the Blazing Ape's entire body shot up into the air.
The blow landed on its left cheek.
It now felt a burning heat on its cheek, accompanied by a searing pain.
Despite being a fire-type Pokemon, the heat caused it immense agony.
Simultaneously.
Its health points began to plummet.
A single blow almost brought the Blazing Ape to the brink of death.
It's easy to see just how powerful the Marsupial's attack was.
“Blazing Ape?”
Chen Ling hadn't expected that even though he had given instructions first, the Blazing Ape was the one getting beaten up?
And everything that happened just now was too fast. Too fast for Chen Ling to react.
“Blazing Ape, what are you doing? Use Bite, bite the Marsupial! That's right! Attack the little Marsupial in its belly! Use Bite, bite that little Marsupial!”
As Chen Ling issued the command, he suddenly saw a little one peeking out from the Marsupial's belly.
As a cunning strategist, Chen Ling instantly became clear-headed.
Defeating the Marsupial head-on might be difficult, as evident from its previous attack and speed.
Then… what would happen if the Blazing Ape attacked the little Marsupial?
The Marsupial mother and the little Marsupial, they were one and the same!
Attack the little Marsupial, and the Marsupial mother would also lose health points, and… the little Marsupial was completely fragile. How could it possibly withstand the Blazing Ape's attack?
In the scenario that Chen Ling had planned, the Blazing Ape would first bite the little Marsupial's head, then use Flame Splashes at close range. By then, the little Marsupial would probably be charred to a crisp, leaving the Marsupial mother no chance to win.
As for… whether this tactic was considered despicable?
Chen Ling didn't care.
As long as he could win the battle, what was a little bit of despicableness?
However.
As the Blazing Ape adjusted its position in the air, preparing to charge towards the little Marsupial to use Bite.
The Marsupial mother's eyes became incredibly fierce.
Anyone! Including Pokemon! Who tried to harm her child was forbidden!
“Grrr…”
The Marsupial mother roared, swinging her arm to the right, as the Blazing Ape drew closer to the pouch on her belly.
Bang——!
A deafening sound of impact reverberated across the battle arena.
The Marsupial mother's ferocious Million-Ton Punch, landed squarely on the Blazing Ape's head.
The Blazing Ape instantly lost consciousness (but didn't die), and was sent flying towards the wall.
The mark it left on the wall was even deeper than the one left by Wrestling Hawkman in the morning.
This time.
The Blazing Ape didn't even touch the ground, its entire body was embedded in the wall.
It was so deeply embedded that it couldn't even fall.
For a moment.
The entire arena fell silent once more.
“Blazing Ape, unable to continue fighting. Shi Yi and Marsupial win the match.”
The referee declared the result of the battle with satisfaction.
“This… this… this is too brutal, isn't it?”
“Yeah… no type advantage, no fancy techniques. It’s just pure, unadulterated dominance!”
“Is Shi Yi’s Marsupial very high level?”
“I feel like it must be much stronger than that Blazing Ape!”
“My god! It’s just a complete dimensional strike! I suggest we thoroughly investigate Shi Yi and his Marsupial!”
“…”
Amidst the murmurs of the audience.
A teacher suddenly walked over.
He asked Shi Yi a few relevant questions.
Like… where did you catch the Marsupial? What is the Marsupial’s true strength? How did you train the Marsupial… and so on.
Shi Yi answered all the questions truthfully.
This Marsupial was originally caught in the West Creek Wetlands Reserve.
According to the rules, any Pokemon a freshman catches in the West Creek Wetlands Reserve is legal and legitimate.
Plus, the Marsupial’s Poke Ball was also an original ball from the West Creek Wetlands Reserve.
The teacher responsible for the investigation, as well as Shi Yi’s homeroom teacher, Qin Hong, also understood the facts and circumstances.
Finally.
He declared in front of everyone: Shi Yi’s Marsupial is legal and legitimate, caught in the West Creek Wetlands Reserve.
Now.
The audience went wild.
“My god! I also went to the West Creek Wetlands Reserve, why didn't I find a Marsupial?!”
“I want to catch a Marsupial too…”
“Is it the Marsupial's problem? It’s the trainer’s problem, guys! Even if the Pokemon in the West Creek Wetlands Reserve are higher level, there's still a limit. The Reserve management will periodically check the level of the Pokemon inside. That means that Shi Yi, after catching this Marsupial, has trained it to be this powerful in just a few days!”
“Don’t even say it. How can we compare to Shi Yi? I feel like I've lived my life in vain…”
“Teacher Shi Yi! I’m from the Breeding Department, can I learn from you about Pokemon breeding and battling? I… I’ll do anything!”
Suddenly, a female voice came from the Breeding Department’s section of the audience.
The Breeding Department’s audience area was filled with a large number of beautiful girls, and many male students were secretly glancing over here while watching the competition.
Now, hearing the Breeding Department girl so proactively calling out to Shi Yi.
Everyone was envious and resentful.
On the field.
After the investigation, Shi Yi retracted the Marsupial mother.
He ignored the shouts of the audience.
He glanced at the injured Blazing Ape, then prepared to leave.
However.
At that moment.
Shi Yi actually saw a silver opportunity above Chen Ling’s head?
“Huh?”
During the battle just now, this guy had a white opportunity above his head (the common opportunity everyone has).
In just a short while, he actually had a new opportunity?
And it was a silver opportunity?
Shi Yi’s eyes lit up.
He quickly checked Chen Ling’s silver opportunity.
【Name: Chen Ling】
【Recent Opportunity: Silver Opportunity】
【Details: After being defeated by Shi Yi, Chen Ling was filled with anger. He was a person who held grudges, and he didn’t intend to let Shi Yi off.
This Blazing Ape was one that Chen Ling caught in the Reserve thanks to his family’s connections. After being beaten up by the Marsupial, after treatment, it would take over three months to recover.
Chen Ling couldn’t wait that long. He decided to take advantage of this opportunity to switch Pokemon and seek revenge on Shi Yi.
With the help of his family, Chen Ling borrowed a Pokemon from his family and entered the B-Rank Reserve on the eastern side of North River City to catch a new Pokemon.
This B-Rank Reserve was a…】
