The Combat Power of Metagross is Beyond Your Imagination
Thus, Bruce's first match ended, defeating Rival 3-0.
As he exited the arena, Bruce heard warm applause from the stands on both sides. He smiled and waved gently.
Back in the observation area at Metropolis University, Master Rodriguez took the initiative to applaud: "The performance was perfect."
"Master Rodriguez has finished with the award." Bruce nodded slightly and sat down.
Upon hearing this, Master Rodriguez didn't speak further but simply looked at Bruce with eyes full of admiration.
Undoubtedly, Bruce is definitely the biggest surprise of the year.
First, he won the First-Year Exchange Championship with unstoppable momentum, then successfully participated in the University Student League, showing strong competitiveness.
Considering Bruce's age, Master Rodriguez believes Bruce can simply enjoy the competition and not obsess over the pursuit of results.
He is still young and has two more opportunities to participate in the university league.
Even if he doesn't achieve good results this time, in next year's University Student League, he will definitely become the great demon that rules over all the players.
Master Rodriguez is full of confidence in this.
The two stopped discussing and silently observed the battle, watching the performance of the other players.
The knockout rounds of the university league are very intense, and rarely are there one-sided situations. The battles are almost evenly matched, with players fighting each other until the last Pokemon.
Only against a popular champion like Liam can there be a one-sided situation.
The afternoon games continued, and players took turns appearing on the stage, putting on a spectacular show for the entire audience.
Bruce, the commander of some of the competitors, clapped and applauded repeatedly.
This is the university student league, the highest level of competition at the university level.
Time passed gradually, until after 5 PM when Bruce received his arrangement for the next match.
He quickly walked toward the battlefield and waited. After the last game ended, he walked to the battlefield.
This time, his opponent was a female player, Megan Hall from the University of Leicester.
She was a bit small, wrapped in a pink jacket, with a cute and tender rosy appearance, her face clean and charming, with a lovely smile on her face.
This was a version of a third-year student.
"Hello, player Bruce, please give me your advice next time." Megan blinked and gave a slight bow.
She seemed to be a polite girl.
Bruce felt affection for the polite young woman, smiled slightly, and nodded in response: "Hello, please give me your advice."
Seeing both players were ready, the referee raised the flag without hesitation and loudly announced, "Please send out your Pokemon!"
As the words hit the air, Megan first smiled shyly, then took a deep breath and gently shouted, "Go, Ninetales."
A white light blossomed, and a fox-shaped Pokemon appeared on the field.
Its body was covered in golden fur, its nine soft and slender tails swaying gently, and its bright red pupils quietly stared at Bruce.
The Ninetales was well-proportioned, dignified, and elegant.
[Pokemon: Ninetales (Fire)
Ability: Flash Fire
Qualification: Master
Level: LV 44 (Ace)]
Ninetales, a Pokemon with a very high IQ, can understand human language and has a great deal of curiosity. It is said to live for thousands of years.
But the double beauty battle imagined by the audience didn't appear. Bruce threw a Poke Ball, and with a flash of white light, a silver-white Metagross appeared on the stage.
Metagross!
Metagross's eyes were scarlet and calm, staring directly at Ninetales on the opposite side.
"Metagross…"
Seeing the Shiny Metagross before her, Megan's eyebrows flashed with surprise, then a fog seemed to rise on her forehead as her expression turned more serious.
Every trainer understands what Metagross represents.
This proves that it is definitely not an Ace-level beginner!
At the same time, there was much discussion among the audience.
"Metang evolved into Metagross!"
"How cool is that!"
"Bruce and Metagross, the offspring of the psychic family and the pseudo-legendary Pokemon, an appropriate novel plot!"
The referee seemed to be well-informed, and his expression remained unchanged. He announced loudly, "The battle begins!"
"Ninetales, Flamethrower!" As soon as the battle started, Megan's temperament suddenly changed, her eyes sharp like knives.
She was no longer the delicate and weak Megan from before; she seemed more like a warrior who had experienced many battles!
Ninetales raised its noble and proud head, gazing calmly at Metagross, its nine tails gently swaying, and immediately, an incredibly hot and thick column of fire erupted from its mouth, bursting forward!
The wave of heat spread, and the high temperatures swept over the battlefield.
"Fly and dodge," Bruce said with calm eyes.
"Metagross!"
Metagross responded in a deep voice, then bent its limbs and suddenly flew into the air using Confusion, soaring directly upward.
The flame column surged, but Metagross flew through the air at an astonishing speed, dodging the pursuit of the Flamethrower with flexibility.
At the same time, Metagross seized the opportunity, getting closer to Ninetales while dodging, and quickly flew above Ninetales.
"This isn't good!" Megan startled, very aware of Bruce's intentions.
"Rock Slide!" Bruce called out softly.
Metagross's eyes froze, and the next moment, sharp rocks condensed out of thin air, surrounding Metagross.
Metagross!
Immediately after, accompanied by the deep sound of Metagross, several sharp rocks bombarded directly toward Ninetales.
"Avoid with Agility!" Megan instructed softly.
Ninetales's narrow, blood-red eyes stared directly at the sharp rocks attacking it. It took a few steps, its speed suddenly increasing, its nine tails fluttering as it began running at an astonishing speed.
In the blink of an eye, Ninetales almost became an afterimage, its figure invisible.
Boom!
The sharp rocks failed to hit Ninetales, but they crashed to the ground, causing a loud explosion and filling the air with dust and smoke.
"Psychic." Bruce seemed to have been prepared, snapping his fingers, and a crisp sound resonated in the middle of the arena.
Metagross!
Metagross ignored the frantically running Ninetales. It hovered in the air steadily, its eyes glowing with a bright purple light, and tyrannical psychic energy burst forth all at once, sweeping the entire battlefield.
Suddenly, Ninetales's movements stopped abruptly, enveloped in a violet light, unable to move.
"Get out of there!"
Seeing this, Megan raised her eyebrows and shouted directly.
But Metagross gave Ninetales no chance to resist, flying directly down and landing next to Ninetales.
Its glowing iron fist crashed into the ground, and the terrifying power poured into the earth, causing it to violently shake.
Intimidate!
This time, Ninetales couldn't dodge in time. It staggered and suddenly tilted its head toward the sky, letting out an involuntary groan.
Finally, the ground beneath Ninetales's feet sank and swallowed it up.
Boom!
There were roaring sounds, and the five-star doctor's figure was obscured in dust and smoke.
At this point, Megan knew the end without needing to look.
"Ninetales is unable to battle!" the referee's voice rang out at the right moment, and there were warm applause from the stands on both sides.
"It looks like it goes back and forth, but in reality, it was completely crushed."
"Hey, a beautiful Pokemon like Ninetales has fallen."
"Metagross shows its decline with ease, while Ninetales is crushed and can't hide its behavior."
Ignoring the loud voices from the stands, Megan recalled Ninetales.
"You've worked hard," she said softly with bright eyes.
Then, Megan threw her second Poke Ball into the air:
"It's up to you, Delphox."
A white light blossomed, and a Delphox holding a branch appeared on the field.
It was red and yellow all over, with long, abundant fur on its limbs and large ears.
[Pokemon: Delphox (Fire/Psychic)
Ability: Blaze
Qualification: Elite
Level: LV 45 (Ace)]
"Is this a fire-specialized trainer?" Bruce squinted as he looked at Delphox, secretly guessing.
"The battle begins!"
As the referee's voice fell, the two of them looked at each other and said simultaneously:
"Delphox, Mystical Fire!"
"Metagross, Shadow Ball."
In an instant, Delphox waved the branch in its hand, accompanied by a magical rhythm. First, sparks erupted, and then flames burst into fire, instantly forming a column of scorching flames.
Boom!
A Shadow Ball of dark black emerged from Metagross's chest and collided violently with Mystical Fire in midair, but the Shadow Ball abruptly passed through the column of fire and hit Delphox again.
"What an amazing shadow dance!" someone exclaimed suddenly.
Delphox saw the Shadow Ball coming, tried to dodge it, but the speed of the Shadow Ball was too fast, gradually filling the entire field of vision.
Boom!
The Shadow Ball hit Delphox's chest and exploded. Delphox let out a scream, and its chest was burned.
"Thunder Punch."
But the fierce offensive didn't stop there, and the real world isn't a turn-based game.
Metagross took advantage of the perfect opportunity when Delphox's body was stiff. Spark was near its body, its fists surrounded by thunder light, and the sound of continuous electric flashing could be heard.
Explosion! Explosion! Explosion!
Suddenly, Metagross swung its fists, and a thunderous blast erupted, as if thousands of birds were singing together, exploding into Delphox's body one after another.
Boom!
The final and strongest blow struck Delphox's abdomen, sending it flying several meters and landing at the edge of the field.
Delphox!Megan shouted anxiously.
But Delphox didn't get up to respond to her; it had already closed its eyes and remained motionless.
A deathly silence reigned in the stands on both sides.
The broadcast in the live transmission seemed to have stagnated for a while, and after some time, countless explosions appeared in an instant.
"It's too violent! Take it out with a combo!"
"Delphox has no chance of resisting, do you feel like the gap is too huge?"
"Metagross is invincible!"
Looking at Metagross on the field from a distance, Bin murmured quietly: "This Metagross seems to have improved a bit compared to ten days ago."
"Such a pervert," he couldn't help but murmur quietly.
Many trainer professors from various schools watched this scene, frowning, unsure how to accurately evaluate this Metagross.
Faced with the two Pokemon in front of Megan, Metagross crushed them until the end, and neither seemed to have a record of performance.
At the guest table,
"Deserving to be a descendant of King John Bayne." Someone clapped and praised.
Field,
Megan took a deep breath, first recalling Delphox, and then reaching for the last Poke Ball.
"At last, I count on you, Chandelure."
As a red light shot out, a chandelier-shaped Pokemon floated in the air, with a round striped head, yellow round eyes with no pupils, and imposing purple flames crowning its head.
There was a black lamp holder under the head, with a pair of curled arms in the shape of a black lamp holder, with four groups of purple flames at the ends.
[Pokemon: Chandelure (Ghost/Fire)
Ability: Infiltrator
Qualification: Elite
Level: LV 47 (Ace)]
Megan's strength is truly impressive, sending out two level 45 Pokemon in succession, which can be considered as mid-high level in the Metropolis Capital University team.
"The battle begins!"
Following the referee's command, Megan stretched her arms and shouted with piercing eyes: "Shadow Ball!"
Chandelure's yellow eyes are very strange, floating in the air like a ghost, and the purple flame flickers slightly.
Suddenly, a Shadow Ball exuding a terrifying energy formed in an instant, rushing towards Metagross.
"Rock Tomb," spat Bruce.
-!Metagross!
Metagross swung its fists, its gaze frozen, and huge rocks flew up from the ground in an instant, cutting through the howling wind and attacking Chandelure one by one.
Boom!
The Shadow Ball fiercely collided with the enormous Rock in front of it, and suddenly there was a terrible sound. The Rock immediately shattered into stone fragments, falling to the ground.
But the enormous rocks behind it followed closely, like brave warriors, charging forward one after another.
Boom boom boom!
When the Shadow Ball completely dissipated, the last two huge rocks were still rushing toward Chandelure with astonishing momentum.
"Psychic." Megan frowned and said abruptly.
Chandelure's eyes glowed with a faint purple light, and a powerful psychic energy spread throughout its body. The next moment, the two huge rocks froze in mid-air but then fell straight down.
Boom!
The rocks crashed onto the ground, and suddenly broke apart, releasing a cloud of smoke that covered the center of the field.
"Watch out on both sides." Megan looked around with piercing eyes and said aloud.
Chandelure's eyes were full of vigilance as it remained still, the purple flame above its head shining with a demonic glow.
Suddenly, a Shadow Ball emerged from the dust and smoke!
"Protect!" Megan said without hesitation.
At this command, an emerald-green protective barrier suddenly lit up in front of Chandelure, shielding the minister.
Boom!
The Shadow Ball hit the Protection Barrier with precision, and to Megan's horror, the Barrier shattered like a low-quality crystal with a "click" sound!
Suddenly, the Shadow Ball emitted a strong Ghost-type energy and struck Chandelure twice.
Chandelure was hit abruptly by the Shadow Ball, suffering severe damage, and with a pained look on its face, it staggered backward again and again!
Seeing this scene, countless spectators in the stands were stunned.
"Didn't Protect work anymore?"
"Isn't Metagross originally a Ghost-type?"
"Case solved, Bruce's Gardevoir is using a physical attack, and this Metagross is using a special attack."
On the field, seeing the injured Chandelure, Megan couldn't help but ask, "Chandelure, are you okay?"
Upon hearing this, Chandelure turned its head and nodded heavily towards Megan.
Although it had suffered great losses, it resisted with its tenacious will and still had five Pokemon left in the first battle.
But at this moment, Metagross, who was no stranger to martial arts, was flying at high speed, and Chandelure was constantly closing in on its position.
In the blink of an eye, the two Pokemon were close to each other, and their gazes met, eyes locked.
"Hell!" Seeing the situation, Megan instantly shouted.
Chandelure received the instruction, shook its body lightly, and in an instant, the purple flame flickering above its head rushed toward Metagross in front of it, quickly turning into a monstrous fire, surrounding Metagross.
But Metagross's eyes remained unchanged, and it swung its fists abruptly amidst the flames, causing a brilliant lightning bolt to flash in front of its eyes.
Boom!
Chandelure was struck by the Thunder Punch, flipping upside down and crashing to the ground. The purple flame above its head flickered and weakened.
Under the intense gaze of the crowd, Chandelure's yellow eyes slowly closed, and it remained still.
The flames surrounding Metagross slowly dissipated, and its eyes were piercing as its white-silver body gleamed with a metallic shine under the light.
-!Metagross
Metagross looked at Chandelure from a distance, its face calm, letting out a muffled sound.
"Chandelure is unable to battle!"
"Therefore, the winner is Bruce Bayne!" The referee's voice suddenly rang out, announcing the end of the competition.
From the stands on both sides, applause surged like a tide.
Throughout this game, Metagross had handled the battle with ease, firmly grasping the rhythm and pace in its own hands.
Its current level was 46, close to 47. In fact, it was only one level higher than Chandelure, and there was no obvious advantage.
But the combat power of the Pokemon was the most decisive factor in determining the outcome of the battle. Clearly, Metagross's combat power surpassed anyone's imagination.
