Chapter 148 Advancing to the Top 32, the Enhanced Sphere Appears
Just as the saying goes, what is free is the most expensive, and all the gifts of fate come with a hidden price tag.
Wei Xin refused Cynthia's request to pay for the energy cubes with money, and instead chose to have her trade her body.
Cynthia readily agreed.
It's about having Cynthia help film GG, promote, and endorse the Power Cube after it's released to the market. Those who are thinking dirty thoughts should go and talk to Mega Evolution.
Garchomp engages in melee combat.
After a day of training, Ralts was able to easily dodge the whip and counter it. Her proficiency with the Magic Fire skill was also very high. Along the way, Tebrim also tried to learn the Magic Fire skill.
Unfortunately, it failed; she didn't inherit this skill.
Her ancestors were Muggles.
But when Wei Xin stepped onto the field, he was like a student leaving an exam hall, suddenly remembering something: Ralts's Rain Dance was taught by Lugia, and it wasn't just any rain, but a heavy downpour.
Even if the opponent's Bulbasaur knows Sunny Day, it cannot change the weather. Fire-type moves are halved in rainy weather, and Fire-type attacks fail to be used in heavy rain.
Ralts can't use its Fire Punch or Magic Fire.
Cynthia is entirely to blame for this!
The referee checked the equipment carried. Wei Xin gave Ralts dust goggles to counter the opponent's sleeping powder and poison powder.
The opponent is carrying Fiery Rock, which extends the duration of the Sunny Day skill.
Wei Xin: "....."
Bad news, our teacher guessed the wrong question.
Good news, the other party misread the question.
It's truly a clash of titans, a perfect match. Cai Xukun debuted in Thailand, and now he's out of options.
The match began with the referee's whistle.
"Ralts, rain!"
In order to take advantage of the weather, the opponent did not give any instructions and let Ralts change the weather. A torrential downpour fell on the field, and Ralts' movements became lighter.
"Bulbasaur, sunny day!"
A beam of light shot out from Bulbasaur's back, carrying with it a cloud of scorching rocks. However, the dark clouds lingering over the arena did not dissipate, leaving the opposing trainer bewildered.
What's going on? Is the Dragon King not at work today?
Until it watched as the no longer scorching hot rock fell from the sky and hit Bulbasaur's face, which was also looking up in confusion.
Suddenly I realized, something's not right with Ralts's Rain Dance.
Wei Xin was also helpless, as this skill was a gift from a friend.
"Ralts, Psychic Beam."
"Ralts!" Ralts raised his hands, and a dazzling light, like a DJ ball in a nightclub, appeared on the dimly lit field shrouded in dark clouds.
Bulbasaur had nowhere to hide. The beam of light hit its body, and Bulbasaur was in excruciating pain, like a vampire being exposed to sunlight.
Fortunately, the Agricultural Academy had ample resources, and Bulbasaur was of a high level with thick skin and tough flesh. It withstood Ralts's attack and quickly retreated to create distance. However, it felt dizzy and the world in its eyes began to blur, turning into many different colored halos.
As if things weren't bad enough, Bulbasaur was thrown into chaos.
"Bulbasaur, Power Whip!" Despite being at a disadvantage, the Bulbasaur's trainer refused to back down. This Bulbasaur was the culmination of their agricultural academy's efforts.
Bulbasaur had two large, thick green vines extending from its back, but due to the chaos, it couldn't pinpoint Ralts' location and could only expand its range, waving them wildly across the field.
But that was pointless, as Ralts skillfully dodged Bulbasaur's vine whip with the help of the rain.
The Bulbasaur's trainer was in a dilemma. Without the sun, Solar Beam had no power, and Photosynthesis was useless. His goggles prevented him from using Poison Powder and Sleep Powder, and his opponent was also prepared to use Vine Whip. Wait, how come you're such a sneaky trainer?
"Ralts, Psychic Beam."
Two consecutive illusion beams were enough to defeat Bulbasaur, even though it had been carefully nurtured by the Agricultural College, and it collapsed on the field.
"Bulbasaur is unable to battle, Ralts wins, and Wei Xin advances to the top 32."
"Another no-damage clear." Wei Xin gave Ralts a quick check-up, and after confirming that the little guy was alright, he was about to leave the arena.
"Roar!"
Then a piercing shout came from not far away.
Looking in the direction of the sound, Wei Xin saw a Growlithe, its face contorted in a ferocious grin, its eyes fixed on the other side of the field, where Xin Ye Miao lay unconscious on the ground.
The referee announced the result of the match. The trainer of Newleaf Cat took out a Poké Ball and tried to recall Newleaf Cat, but Growlithe, without the trainer's command, used Quick Attack to knock Newleaf Cat aside and blocked it with its body, preventing the trainer from recalling it.
What's going on? A dark duel?
Wei Xin was puzzled. Even wild Pokémon, when faced with territorial disputes or food conflicts, would only knock down their opponents and drive them out of their territory, not engage in such near-annihilation behavior.
Moreover, Growlithe is a Pokémon that always stays by humans' side and is known for its gentle and kind nature.
Even if something goes wrong, Officer Jenny suspects the trainer of having ulterior motives, not Growlithe.
"Growlithe, come back!" Growlithe's trainer took out a Poké Ball, trying to recall Growlithe. Growlithe dodged to the side, let out a loud shout, used Quick Attack, and pounced on the dying Nerubian.
"Stop!" Seeing Growlithe about to use its Great Bite, Wei Xin, in a moment of panic, threw out a Poké Ball without thinking. "Tibrim, use Trick Room! Ralts, use Teleport to rescue Meowth! Mimikyu, suppress Growlithe!"
"Teemy!" Teem jumped out of the Poké Ball and used Trick Room. When the fog appeared, a pink space unfolded on the field, and Growlithe's speed became very slow. Ralts flashed to Neoleaf's side and dragged Neoleaf to the other side. Mimikyu used Shadow Claw to firmly pin the berserk Growlithe to the ground.
Even so, Growlithe still didn't calm down. Even when Tibbers rushed up and used Frenzy to swell up Growlithe's face, Growlithe still tried to launch a counterattack.
What's going on? Wei Xin didn't understand. Although dogs dislike cats, this is too extreme.
What Wei Xin found most puzzling was that, even though Growlithe was the one who committed the crime, Wei Xin sensed a deep, inescapable pain emanating from Growlithe.
"Tibrim, use peaceful coexistence."
Just as Tibirium was about to slap the mad dog twice to let it taste the dragon fruit, she heard Wei Xin's command and had no choice but to give up. The trainer was too kind-hearted. He reached out and rubbed Growlithe's head.
However, it had no effect.
"What's wrong with your Growlithe?" Wei Xin turned to look at the bewildered student beside him.
"I don't know," the student shook his head. "He was perfectly normal before."
Wei Xin understood from his clear, foolish, and confused eyes.
He was genuinely unaware, or perhaps he hadn't quite grasped the situation yet.
"What happened?"
"I heard that one of the players' Growlithe suddenly went berserk."
"Shouldn't we send it to Master Pan right away?"
As the competition ended, more and more students gathered around, most of them just echoing what others were saying. Once the news spread, according to the Pokémon Management Act, this Growlithe would either be released back into the wild to struggle for survival, or it would be disposed of harmlessly.
Its race is not a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Before that, Wei Xin planned to find out the reason why the Growlithe went berserk.
Wei Xin pulled Ralts to his side.
"Ralts, do me a favor."
Previously, he and Ralts had inadvertently read Litten's thoughts. This time, he planned to try reading Growlithe's thoughts, hoping to uncover the truth.
Seeing this, Tibblimm covered Growlithe's mouth and head to prevent him from attacking Wei Xin.
Wei Xin held Ralts in his arms and placed his hand on Growlithe's head. Apart from the painful howl, he heard nothing.
Wei Xin was puzzled. Ibu jumped out, as if sensing something. After looking around, he looked at a white sphere that had been opened not far away.
The sphere was completely empty.
"Booboo!" Eevee called out, attracting Wei Xin's attention. It then ran to the white sphere and kicked it towards Wei Xin. Wei Xin, puzzled, turned to the Growlithe's trainer beside him: "What's this?"
