Chapter 28 The First Opponent
Starting today, Yangcheng High School will hold a two-day competition for seniors.
The competition venue was set on the school playground.
Just like the sports meets held by various schools before traveling through time, the designated playing field was not only the referee teacher, but also surrounded by high school students who had not had their turn to play.
Many first and second year high school students also watched the game under the guidance of their teachers.
Back on the field, Su Hao's first round opponent was a girl from Class 6.
Su Hao and the girl threw the elf ball at the same time.
Two red lights flashed, and Hot Cat and a walking grass appeared in the battle field.
Su Hao was now able to roughly judge the strength of the opponent's Pokémon from the aura emitted by the waveguide.
It is a novice-level walking grass.
It seems that the girl does not intend to specialize in the battle. The walking grass became particularly flustered when it saw the hot cat.
"The battle begins!" With the referee's order, the first battle officially began.
Hot Cat's current strength makes it too easy to deal with Walking Grass.
"Hot Meow, use scratching."
"Meow!"
After the torrid cat rushed from the edge of the field to the walking grass, the dazed girl finally reacted.
"Walking grass...quickly...quickly dodge to the right!"
A well-trained Pokémon might be able to react if it was one step behind, but this Pokémon obviously couldn't react that way.
The Walking Grass, which had no combat experience at all, naturally had no resistance to the attacking Heat Cat and lost.
When the girl saw that Groot was killed instantly by Tolcarnea at first sight, she did not capture a second Pokémon. After surrendering, she picked up Groot in a panic and ran to the doctor of the Pokémon Center who was standing nearby.
There were about a thousand senior students in Yangcheng High School. On the first day, Su Hao met people who had no fighting experience.
There is a high probability that these students will not choose to go to a university that specializes in elf combat.
------------
On the second day, after the eliminations on the first day, the top 32 had been decided.
Su Hao, Li Hua, Jiang Chengcheng and He Xu, who sat in front of Su Hao, all made it into the top 32.
After the top 32, the school moved the battle venue to the battle venue inside the Rising Sun Gym.
At this time, the auditorium was full of students watching the game.
There was a podium in front of the audience seats, on which sat a group of school leaders and Su Xu.
Su Xu had told Su Hao about this in advance, so Su Hao was not surprised why his father came to watch the game.
The names of 32 students were displayed on the big screen in the venue. After the allocation was shuffled, the first round match schedule was decided.
Su Hao was in the third match, and he was fighting against a boy named Fang Wenbin from Class Three.
After the winners of the first two games were decided, it was Su Hao's turn to play.
In the preparation area, Ms. Liang repeatedly told Su Hao to stay calm when facing the enemy.
Su Hao naturally nodded in agreement.
Both sides have taken their positions on the battlefield.
Without any communication, both sides sent out their first Pokémon.
"Go ahead, Heat-meow."
"Go ahead, Infernape!"
Pokémon like Explosive Monkey usually cannot evolve until the Monkey monster breaks through to the normal level, but Fang Wenbin's Monkey monster evolved at the Novice level, which surprised Su Hao.
Pokémon: Infernape
Attribute: [Fighting]
Gender: [♂]
Features: [Motivation]
Level: [18]
Props: [None]
Moves: [grab, throw, grab, kick, gather energy, high-speed star]
Hot Monkey has a very irritable temperament and eagerly stares at Hot Meow as soon as he comes on stage.
Hot Monkey has a good talent for boxing. After the game started, Wenbin commanded Hot Monkey to rush in front of Hot Meow.
Facing the charging Infernape, Su Hao chose to have Tolcat use Flamewrow to counter it.
The flame bag under the neck of the Hot Cat glowed slightly, and the scorching flame condensed in the mouth of the Hot Cat, briefly emitting a flame ray.
The jet of flame swept towards Infernape in a straight line, and the air in the area where the flame passed was slightly distorted and deformed.
Faced with the fierce jet of flames, Infernape twisted its nimble body up and down, narrowly avoiding the jet of flames.
The missed jet of flames bombarded the site, leaving a scorched mark on the specially made rock surface.
"What an amazingly powerful jet of flame!" exclaimed a middle-aged man on the podium.
Fang Wenbin was surprised to see Infernape dodge the jet of flames and immediately gave the order to attack.
After dodging the jet flames, Explosive Monkey did not stay where he was and continued to rush towards Hot Meow.
"Infernape, use Scratch!"
Facing the attacking Infernape, Catelyn raised its right paw without any panic, and Shadow Claw condensed on its right paw.
The shadow claw scratched the fiery monkey, and a deep wound appeared on the fiery monkey's face.
In the battle between Infernape and Flint, Torecat completely suppressed Infernape with just its right claw. Even though Infernape used both fists, Torecat still found an opportunity to scratch Infernape's face with its Shadow Claws.
Faced with Infernape who easily suppressed him, Infernape became more and more impatient.
"Hotfire Monkey, wait a minute!"
"Squeak! Squeak!!" Infernape couldn't help but rushed up again. The painful wound on its face made it completely lose its mind and didn't obey the trainer's command.
Facing Infernape's attack without any moves, Tormentor used the Heat Blast move on its own initiative.
A scorching wind blew past, and the Infernape with charred hair slowly fell down, losing its ability to fight.
Hotmon's defeat made Fang Wenbin a little anxious, but fortunately, his second Pokémon restrained Hotmon, and he might have a chance to make a comeback.
"Come on, Starfish!"
There was a flash of light, and a Pokémon with a golden-brown star-shaped body and an exposed red core between its five tentacles appeared on the field.
Pokémon: Starfish
Attribute: [Water]
Gender: [no gender]
Features: [Luminous]
Level: [18]
Props: [None]
Moves: [Impact, Harden, Water Gun, High-Speed Spin, High-Speed Star, Bubble Ray]
Still a novice-level Pokémon, Starfish, as a water-attribute Pokémon, may be able to restrain Tolcat, but under the suppression of hard power, the outcome is already clear.
Fang Wenbin asked Starfish to use the water gun move to resist the flame-spraying move of Hot Cat.
The result is self-evident. The jet of flame directly evaporated the water gun and bombarded Starfish.
The fog produced by the collision of water and fire blocked the vision of both sides.
After waiting for the fog to dissipate, the Flame Cat, who had used Su Hao's wave power to attack from a position provided by Su Hao, had already used the Shadow Claw to defeat Sea Star.
The glowing core on Hai Xingxing's chest had long gone out after it lost its combat capability.
[The battle is over, the winner is Su Hao from Class 1, Senior Grade 3! ]
"oh--!"
"666!"
"Clap clap clap clap!"
The students watching the game in the audience burst into applause spontaneously.
Su Hao waved to the audience and left the battlefield.
