I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

"Dance of the Dragon!" Master Jing gave the order hastily, taking advantage of the smoke obscuring his vision.

When Dragonite uses Dragon Dance, the attack power that was reduced by Intimidate is immediately made up for, and its speed is also increased.

"Dragon Dance!" Cyril, of course, wouldn't let Master Jing buff him, and decisively ordered Salamence to use Dragon Dance as well, though he was a beat too late.

In that short time, Dragonite had already gathered its energy and unleashed Dragon Dive, charging into the smoke.

"Dragon God Dive!" Cyril countered sharply, choosing the same move as Master Jing.

"boom!"

The two elves spotted each other in the smoke, and the dragon swooped down and collided with each other, the aftershocks of the impact instantly dispelling all the smoke.

The two Pokémon were evenly matched. Although Salamence had a much higher attack power than Dragonite due to Intimidate, the move it used in haste was not as good as Dragonite's fully charged Dragon Dive. In the back and forth, the two were evenly matched.

As the energy clashed, a sudden explosion occurred between the two spirits, sending them flying. They flapped their wings to regain their balance and continued to collide.

Ultimately, the Dragonite, which was at a disadvantage in terms of attack power, was knocked away.

"This won't do." Master Jing frowned slightly. Salamence's advantage in attack had become apparent, and Dragonite was actually at a disadvantage with the same moves.

Salamence's Intimidate ability provides a significant advantage in this level of matchup.

Even if Dragonite uses another move to boost its status, the opponent won't just stand by and watch; they'll either interrupt it or choose to boost their status as well.

Master Jing lost to Cyril because of this.

Chapter 341 The Battle of Two Dragons

We can't continue this head-on confrontation. Master Jing thought to himself.

While being tough and resilient is indeed an advantage for Dragonite, continuing to fight like that against an opponent with a strength advantage will only lead to a stalemate.

"Dragonite, use Hail!" Master Jing commanded.

"Pop!" Dragonite let out a soft cry, retreating quickly despite being attacked by Salamence's Steel Wing, and spat out an ice ball that rose into the sky.

In an instant, the entire area was covered by a fierce blizzard.

The hailstorm used by Dragonite was even more dramatic than Abomasnow's hailstorm; the blizzard made it hard for Salamence to open its eyes. Large and small hailstones rained down on it, and its stamina began to slowly drain away.

“This weather is awful…” Cyril murmured.

Dragonite's hail is also something he fears.

As a Dragon-type Pokémon, it should be afraid of Ice-type moves, but Master Jing's Dragonite showed no discomfort in this weather and even seemed to enjoy it. Of course, the hail did cause some damage to Dragonite, but it was negligible compared to the damage suffered by Salamence.

On the contrary, Salamence's movements became somewhat sluggish due to the drop in temperature.

"Wyvern, clear skies!" Cyril shouted the order.

"Trying to take control of the weather from me? No way! Dragonite!" Master Jing shouted.

With a roar, Dragonite took advantage of the moment when Salamence used Sunny Day and hit Salamence with a Dragon Pulse.

The hailstorm subsided slightly due to the clear skies, but cold winds soon returned.

Master Jing's ace Pokémon is Dragonite, and he is also known as the Ice-type Master because he has mastered the Hailstorm strategy to an unparalleled degree. With the combined power of his three Pokémon, he can even freeze a tsunami—a strategy affectionately called Ice Heaven Burial by Ye Feng.

Although his team's main weather setter is another Dragonair and Froslass, Dragonite's mastery of Ice-type energy is quite high under the influence of these two Pokémon. Its Hailstorm is quite powerful, and it's certainly not something that a Salamence's weak Sunny Day can break.

Cyril clicked his tongue, but Master Jing still managed to unleash a hailstorm.

The reason he always resorts to close-quarters combat is to prevent Dragonite from having the opportunity to use Hail. He once suffered a great loss because of Hail. Although he claimed to have won, he knew in his heart that it was only a Pyrrhic victory.

He had carefully considered tactics to deal with hail, and the ideal solution was to use other weather moves to cover the hail. Therefore, he had Salamence train hard to master Sunny Day, but unfortunately, it was still not up to par with Dragonite.

"Dragonite, Blizzard!" Now that Hailstorm had been successfully used, Master Jing decisively changed his tactics.

Dragonite opened its mouth and spewed out a fierce blizzard, even more powerful than the one used by the Ice-type Abomasnow.

"Breath Flame!" Cyril ordered.

The Salamence spewed out scorching flames and became locked in a stalemate with the blizzard.

However, the power of the flamethrower was somewhat suppressed due to the weather, while the blizzard absorbed the surrounding ice-attribute energy and its power was enhanced.

Gradually, the blizzard began to suppress the jet flames and slowly pushed towards the Salamence.

"Flying dragon!"

Salamence increased its fire output, but Dragonite did not back down either.

In the end, even the flamethrower couldn't stop the blizzard, and the Salamence was instantly swallowed up.

In the instant the Salamence was engulfed by the blizzard, a flash of green energy appeared.

Master Jing stared intently at the field. As Dragonite stopped using Blizzard, Salamence, its entire body covered in ice and snow, appeared on the field.

"How could this be? I clearly used Protect?" Cyril frowned, but immediately realized what was going on.

Under the influence of hail, blizzards have a certain chance of breaking through the protection they've been holding, and this chance was clearly triggered just now.

"What terrible luck!" Cyril cursed.

"Dragon God, swoop down!" Strike while the iron is hot! Master Jing gave the order decisively.

The dragon-shaped energy gathered once more, and Dragonite descended from the sky, fiercely charging towards Salamence.

"Dragon God, dive!" Cyril immediately gave the order.

Salamence roared, breaking free of the frost on its body, and launched Dragon Dive towards Dragonite.

"boom!"

The two elves collided violently.

Salamence's body was slightly stiff due to the temperature, and it also suffered considerable damage from the blizzard. Furthermore, it was attacked from below by Dragonite. Although Salamence had the advantage in attack power, it was still no match for Dragonite and was slammed into the ground.

"It's over! Dragon God Dive!" Master Jing waved his hand.

Dragonite roared and launched another attack on Salamence.

"Your wrath is unbearable!" Cyril shouted the order.

A red light flashed in Salamence's eyes, and its entire body was filled with surging energy. It exerted force with all four limbs and flapped its wings simultaneously, slamming into Dragonite from below. A small piece of the ground was shattered by the sudden increase in its power.

The two were locked in a stalemate in the air when Salamence lashed out with its tail, striking Dragonite hard on the neck. Dragonite, in pain, abruptly halted its Dragon Dive, only to be immediately overwhelmed by Salamence's continuous attacks and unable to lift its head.

"Your wrath is unbearable!" Master Jing shouted.

Dragonite's eyes widened, and it let out an unknown roar. Its aura suddenly surged, and it charged forward to engage in a fierce battle with Salamence.

I punch you, you headbutt me; I kick you, you lash out with your tail… The two elves went berserk, attacking each other with their bare bodies without feeling pain, the “crackling” sounds of their collisions echoing throughout the entire venue.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes wide as they watched the fierce battle unfold.

Master Jing and Cyril clenched their fists. After using Outrage, the Pokémon would become uncontrollable and only know how to attack the opponent. Until the move ended or the Pokémon fell, they could only wait for the final result.

Dragonite bit down on Salamence's wing, causing Salamence to let out a series of painful screams. Then, Dragonite turned and bit down on Dragonite's neck.

Dragonite kicked out with a powerful kick, sending Salamence flying, then followed up with another kick, shoving Salamence into the ground.

The Salamence struggled to its feet, trying to take off, but felt a sharp pain in its wings, staggered a few times, and fell to the ground.

When Dragonite saw that Salamence couldn't fly anymore, its eyes lit up. Despite the pain in its neck, it quickly descended and unleashed a barrage of attacks on Salamence, making Salamence howl in pain.

Salamence fought back fiercely, but having temporarily lost its ability to fly, it could no longer attack Dragonite's agile movements.

"Roar!" Salamence roared, as if it were a dying cry, and was knocked away by Dragonite, lying motionless on the ground.

Dragonite, panting heavily, staggered to the ground—Outrage had worn off.

"Salamander is unable to battle, Dragonite wins!" The referee stepped forward to check Salamander's condition and announced loudly.

"I...lost?" Cyril asked himself in disbelief in a low voice, somewhat dazed.

They went on stage full of confidence, but ended up losing?

Wilbur's face was extremely grim. He never expected that Cyril would be defeated by Master Jing, especially since Salamence had defeated Dragonite before.

"You think that just because you beat me once, you're better than me? How ridiculous!" Master Jing laughed heartily, recalled his Dragonite, and stepped off the battlefield.

Master Jing won this match, but Dragonite is also at its limit. Let's leave the next battle to others.

Chapter 342 The Final Battle

Master Jing left satisfied, leaving Cyril looking dejected.

Master Ye greeted him with a broad smile, and the two exchanged a quick fist bump: "Old Jing, are you satisfied? We've gotten our revenge."

Master Jing snorted lightly and said nonchalantly, "Just a defeated opponent."

He looked at Gu Yangzhou, and the two nodded in acknowledgment, both smiling at the same time.

Cyril's appearance was actually within Gu Yangzhou's expectations, and it was something Master Jing had secretly asked him to do.

In two consecutive Masters tournaments, Master Jing lost to Cyril and Webster respectively, resulting in China failing to win the championship.

This was something he couldn't shake off, and he lived with guilt ever since.

Master Jing is getting old, and no one knows how many more four-year periods he has left to wait. He hopes to resolve this knot in his heart before he enters his coffin.

Therefore, when the referee gave the order, according to Gu Yangzhou's plan, Master Jing, who was already prepared, was the first to stand up and easily won the first match.
