Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

This was the first time she had used an attack close to full power outside of team training.

This scattered dragon energy is effective against the initial leaf storm, but the stronger the opponent, the less effective this dispersed power becomes.

This kind of high-pressure battle is perfect for Milotic to try and master Dragon Pulse!

Countless green leaves and four long purple snakes danced wildly, while the powerful shockwaves were confined by the light membrane, only able to wreak havoc within a limited area.

Each time Milotic is wounded by a passing shockwave, its powerful self-healing ability instantly repairs the external injuries.

For the Serpent Lord, every minute and every second is torture, as its body is constantly attacked by the aftershocks of the outside world, and the energy inside its body is like boiling water surging everywhere.

She was able to persevere entirely because of her indomitable spirit and her love for her trainers, not wanting them to lose face in front of their juniors because of her.

At this moment, the Serpent Lord standing on the left side of the arena no longer cared about its posture. It was thinking that even if it meant mutual destruction, it was better not to fall here!

Bonds are a magical thing; at times, they can even transform into power.

Serperior imagined itself hatching from a Pokémon egg and being held in the arms of its trainer.

The trainer comforts himself after losing his first battle.

All the past events seemed to transform into power at this moment, and for the first time, the Leaf Storm suppressed the scattered Dragon Waves!

Milotic, who was effortlessly supplying energy to Dragon Pulse, was astonished to see that Dragon Pulse was being suppressed by the gradually expanding Leaf Storm.

She understood that if she didn't gather the scattered dragon energy together as Su Hao had suggested, the dispersed dragon energy would eventually be destroyed by the seemingly unleashed Lord Serpent on the other side.

She also didn't want to reveal any other cards when facing an opponent who was also an elite!

Under immense pressure, Milotic began attempting to control the four flying dragon pulses.

"fuu!"

It doesn't matter if the Leaf Storm is pushed over by the wave, as long as the Dragon Wave is fully formed, it will be enough to pass through the center of the Leaf Hurricane and go straight to the Serpent Lord who released the Leaf Storm!

Jiang Zihan stared intently at the swaying Serpent Lord on the battlefield, wanting to speak several times but unable to.

He understood Serperior's desire to win, and now he couldn't care less about putting on airs as a senior, shouting loudly, "Serperior, you're almost there!!"

No one expected things to develop to this point. Jiang Zihan herself thought she had just randomly chosen a junior to fight, but she never expected that this junior would be so outrageous.

"Fu—!!"

Faced with the approaching Leaf Storm, Milotic had a sudden inspiration, and a scene flashed through her mind of Latios and Latias using Dragon Pulse in front of her when they were still in the Infinite Realm!

With a casual gesture, two dragon-type energies, which were enormous to the Feebas at the time, clashed together. The massive shockwaves exploded high in the sky, and even the Dragonite holding her and watching the battle had to do its best to resist the aftershocks of the Dragon Pulse.

"One day... I will become stronger than my older siblings, so that I can protect them and my current family!"

In a flash of inspiration, Latios and Latias, deep within the infinite secret realm of the nameless island, looked up thoughtfully. Milotic

He chanted loudly, forcefully controlling the scattered dragon energy to gather it together...

Then, a blue dragon, unlike the winged dragon-shaped Dragon Pulse usually released by Pokémon, formed without wings and somewhat resembling Milotic. It broke through the core of Leaf Storm with unstoppable force and headed straight for Serperior!

A large hole was pierced through the center of the Leaf Storm. Serpent Lord looked at the approaching Dragon Pulse and closed its eyes with some regret.

As if sensing something, Su Hao spoke up: "Mildane."

"Boom——!"

The explosion was deafening, and Serpent Lord was thrown by the shockwave like a kite with a broken string.

"Monarch Serpent, are you... alright?"

As the smoke from the explosion dissipated, Jiang Zihan, anxiously preparing to run into the arena to check on Serperior's condition, clutched the Poké Ball of his team's healing Pokémon. The current situation on the field came into everyone's view.

A huge crater appeared on the left side of the battlefield near the center. The Serpent Lord lay beside the crater, unable to fight, and fell into a coma.

"This is... how did you avoid it?" Jiang Zihan asked in disbelief.

Given Serperior's physical condition just now, it shouldn't have had the strength to avoid that dragon's wave.

"I had Milotic change the landing point of Dragon Pulse along the way," Su Hao said after leading Milotic across the deep pit.

Then he said to Milotic, "Milotic, could you please heal Serpent Lord?"

Milotic nodded, then slithered to Serperior and began casting Life Drop.

Jiang Zihan hadn't reacted yet: "Junior...you..."

Su Hao had just scanned the Serpent's body with his waveguide, and found many external wounds and some internal injuries.

Milotic was able to heal the external wounds, and the internal injuries would heal with some rest, so he quietly released the power of Viridian hidden in his hand.

He sensed that Serperior's body was about to give out before Milotic unleashed its true Dragon Pulse.

Jiang Zihan, a junior on the university team, invited him to a friendly match. They had no prior animosity, so there was no need for Milotic to use Dragon Pulse to inflict secondary damage on Serpent.

That's why he used Aura to help Milotic change the landing point of the move during the Dragon Pulse's trajectory.

Seeing Milotic begin to treat Serpent, Jiang Zihan finally realized what had happened and said with a wry smile, "Thank you for your mercy, junior."

Chapter 161 Your name

"Holy crap, Senior Jiang got beaten by that junior!?"

This is the shared sentiment of the second-year combat students who were watching at this moment.

At this moment, someone noticed Milotic, who was healing Serpent Lord without breathing and without a single wound on its body.

"That Milotic is ridiculous... It hasn't even sustained a scratch after fighting for so long."

"Hmph, although he defeated Senior Jiang's Serperior, his professional-level ace hasn't even appeared yet! Even this Milotic couldn't possibly defeat a professional-level Pokémon that's a level above it!"

This is the heartfelt sentiment of Jiang Zihan's fans.

However, they all refrained from barging into the arena and disturbing the two people and two Pokémon inside.

......

"Thank you for going easy on me, junior..."

Even the most oblivious person can realize this through various clues.

This unknown junior student prevented Milotic from attacking the shaky Serpent again, thus avoiding further damage to the Serpent.

They even immediately had Milotic, who clearly still had some energy left, treat Serperior.

It's important to know that Pokémon can also die if they are hit by an attack that exceeds their damage tolerance limit.

Serperior Serpent's physical condition just now was simply unable to withstand that Dragon Pulse, which seemed to be even more terrifying in power.

Being hit by Serperior would definitely result in a serious injury, and the battle should have been stopped before the third Leaf Storm.

Jiang Zihan felt very guilty.

Guilt-ridden Serpent chose to launch an attack it had not yet mastered, all for the sake of Jiang Zihan's face.

"Senior, you're too kind. I shouldn't have gotten so carried away. After all, it was just a demonstration match..." Su Hao apologized, scratching his head.

“If we’re talking about getting carried away, we did too… We shouldn’t have pushed ourselves too hard and continued the attack; we should have stopped short of it.” Jiang Zihan said to Su Hao while frequently glancing at the Serpent Lord receiving treatment.

He was also reflecting on the situation, and the two of them got carried away and started fighting a real battle.

“fuu~”

Milotic's voice came through, saying that she had healed Serperior's external injuries.

"Senior, Milotic has had her external injuries treated, but remember to take her to the Pokémon Center for a check-up afterwards," Su Hao reminded him.

"Thanks......"

Reminded by Su Hao, Jiang Zihan squatted down and gently picked up the Serpent Lord, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."

The Serpent Lord weakly called out to Jiang Zihan, "ku..."

Su Hao understood what Serpent Lord meant—"I'm sorry, I lost."

However, he wouldn't be so oblivious as to disturb the tender moment between the man and his beloved pet.

Having had enough of the competition and gained a general understanding of the strength of the non-ace players on the national top university teams, he decided to leave the game and take a stroll around the university campuses in Shanghai.

"Milanos, come back first." He picked up the Luxury Ball and aimed it at Milanos.

“Fuu~” Milotic responded softly.

She was also a little tired, so she went back to the luxury sphere to rest and digest the feeling of the Dragon Pulse she had just released.

"Senior, I'll head back now. I've learned a lot from our battle!" Su Hao put away Milotic's Luxurious Ball and politely said goodbye to Jiang Zihan, who was standing to the side.

Jiang Zihan looked anxious and called out, "Wait a minute!"

Seeing that Su Hao was about to leave, Jiang Zihan, who had just finished cuddling with Su Hao and recalled Serperior in preparation for going to the Pokémon Center for treatment, became anxious.

He still had something to say to Su Hao!

Startled by being called out, Su Hao turned around with a puzzled look and asked, "Is there anything else, senior?"

Jiang Zihan strode over to Su Hao's side, still slightly out of breath from speaking: "Junior, I haven't asked your name yet. Also, have you ever considered joining our school team?"

Su Hao: "!!!"
