Chapter 183 The battle for the strongest genius begins!
"Students, although the one-week qualifying points competition has ended, the competition for the Tianjiao Ranking is not over yet."
"The final top 8 qualifying match will be held here today."
"Let's wait and see who will eventually become the strongest genius!"
"Bang bang bang!"
As Hu Zhiyuan finished speaking, brilliant fireworks suddenly set off in the gymnasium.
The top eight players in the final points ranking will compete against each other for the final position of the strongest genius.
"Now let us welcome the first contestant."
"Walking to my left is Lin Rui, a freshman. I'm sure everyone is familiar with him."
"In the freshman competition that ended earlier, Lin Rui won the championship and became the strongest freshman. Now he is once again making a push for the most desired position."
"In addition to being an outstanding trainer, Lin Rui is also the youngest academician of the Dragon Academy. The mega evolution announced by the Dragon Academy not long ago was discovered by Lin Rui."
"Also, in the ranking battle, I'm sure everyone has seen his mega evolved Flame Chicken and Gengar. I wonder what kind of exciting battle he will bring us today?"
"Walking over from the other side is Wang Yu, a junior. He was once ranked fifth on the Heavenly Ranking and was known as Duanmu Hong's successor. He is also one of the strongest contenders for the title of the strongest genius."
Different from Lin Rui's series of introductions, the host only said a few words when introducing Wang Yu.
However, the fact that he was once ranked fifth on the Heavenly Ranking is enough to prove how strong Wang Yu is.
"It's over, it's over. Lin Rui met Wang Yu in the first game. He is doomed now."
In the audience, Gu Hao said with a worried look on his face.
"Even if I don't meet Wang Yu, I will meet other masters on the Heavenly Ranking." Xu Jie said, glancing at Gu Hao beside him.
Among the top eight in the points race, except for freshman Lin Rui, six of the other seven were once on the Heavenly Ranking, and the last one was Shen Aotian’s elder brother Shen Batian.
At this time, Cheng Chen beside Zheng Jianan also said: "It's better to meet this Wang Yu than to meet Duanmu Hong."
"Cheng Chen is right. If we meet Duanmu Hong in the first game, we're done for." Chen Le also echoed.
On the field.
Lin Rui and Wang Yu took their positions in the battle area.
"Brother, please show some mercy!"
Wang Yu started to show weakness right from the start, which surprised Lin Rui.
He didn't think he was really that powerful. Wang Yu probably wanted to show weakness to the enemy and then attack them when they were off guard.
Lin Rui naturally wouldn't believe this kind of trick.
"What are you talking about, Senior? You should show some mercy."
At this time, the referee came on the field.
"The game is in 6v6 format. If one side loses 6 Pokémon first, the game is over."
"During a battle, you can only change Pokémon after the Pokémon has been in battle for 3 minutes."
"..."
"Are there any other issues between the two sides?"
"No."
Lin Rui and Wang Yu replied in unison.
"Now, both parties please send out your first Pokémon!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"Come out, Windspeed Dog!"
"Please, Gyarados!"
After two red lights, Windy Dog and Gyarados appeared on the field at the same time.
"First round, Arcanine vs. Gyarados, the match begins!"
"You actually sent out Gyarados as the starting player. This really surprises me!" Wang Yu said with a smile.
"Senior, collecting information about the opponent before the game is the first lesson we learn!" Lin Rui replied with a smile.
After the final ranking came out, Lin Rui went to collect everyone's information.
Although the information collected is not much, there is still some gain.
Take Wang Yu in front of us for example.
The character that appeared the most in his previous battles was Windy Dog.
So, after seeing that his opponent in the first game was him, Lin Rui changed the order of his team's appearance and let Gyarados fight first.
Unexpectedly, he actually made the right bet.
The opponent actually sent out Windy Dog as the starting player.
【Wind speed dog】
[Level: Lv.50]
[Attribute: Fire]
[Feature: Fire Attack (When attacked by a fire-attribute move, it absorbs the flames, and the fire-attribute moves it uses become stronger.)]
[Combat Power: Gym Master Level]
[Qualification, King level]
[Skills and Moves: Play, Flame Fang, Flash Charge, Howl, Crunch, Help, Revenge, Escape from Despair, High-Speed Movement, Sparks, Roar, Bite, Glare, Flame Wheel, Ram, Jet Flame, Flame Vortex, Overheat, Hold]
"Level 50? It seems that this Arcanine is not Wang Yu's strongest Pokémon!"
Lin Rui sighed and thought to himself.
With the opponent's strength of being ranked fifth on the Heavenly Ranking, and only having the peak combat power of a gym leader, Windy is definitely not the strongest Pokémon in his hands.
He must have a backup plan, but Lin Rui just doesn't know it yet.
To be honest, Lin Rui's ability to break into the top eight in the standings was more or less due to luck.
If it comes to a competition of hard power, he will definitely lose.
"Brother, I'm going to start the attack."
As soon as he finished speaking, Windspeed rushed directly towards Gyarados.
"Wind Speed Dog, Flash Charge!"
[Flash Charge: Cover your entire body in flames and ram into the opponent, causing yourself considerable damage, and sometimes causing the opponent to be burned.]
Hearing Wang Yu's command, Windy Dog charged forward while flames began to burn all over its body!
"Gyarados, use Water Cannon, stop him!"
Lin Rui was not willing to be outdone, and immediately ordered Gyarados to spray a water cannon in an attempt to block Windy.
Facing Gyarados's water cannon, Windy Dog did not dodge and continued to accelerate and rush straight towards Gyarados.
Zizi!
The water cannon bombarded Windy Dog, making a series of sizzling sounds, and white mist rose in the field.
This is the white mist that rises when water encounters high temperature and turns into water vapor.
From this we can see how terribly high the flames on the Windy Dog are.
"What happened? After being hit by the water cannon, Arcanine didn't slow down at all?"
"Oh my god, isn't this wind speed dog afraid of water?"
……
Of course Windy is afraid of water, but Gyarados's water cannon did not penetrate the flames on Windy's body. Instead, it was evaporated into water vapor the moment it touched Windy.
Seeing this scene, Lin Rui couldn't help but frown.
Wang Yu's Arcanine is stronger than he imagined.
Just based on the temperature of the flame, even if it is used against the water system that restrains itself, it will cause considerable damage.
"Gyarados, use Tidal Swirl on Arcanine continuously!"
Seeing that the water cannon failed to stop the Windy Hound, Lin Rui was not panicked at all and immediately issued new instructions to Gyarados.
"Roar!"
Gyarados responded to Lin Rui with an angry roar, and then sent several whirlwind attacks at Windy Hound.
"Are you planning to use the whirlpool to draw Arcanine into the vortex? That's a good idea, but you underestimate my Arcanine."
Wang Yu smiled slightly and did not give any instructions to Arcanine.
However, Arcanine was very agile in dodging all the whirlwind attacks.
"Gyarados, use Waterfall Climb!"
Just when Arcanine was about to rush to Gyarados's front, Lin Rui immediately ordered Gyarados to use Waterfall Climb.
Huge waves immediately emerged from under Gyarados, lifting its entire body up, and then pressed heavily towards Windy Dog.
While dodging the attack of the Windy Dog, it also caused considerable damage to the Windy Dog.
"Junior, it seems that I still underestimated you, but I will be serious from now on."
"Wind Speed Dog, move at high speed!"
