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

Su Hao and Bai Ziyu's Pokémon are Milotic and Kingdra, respectively.

He Qi and Xu Tingting's Pokémon are Venusaur and Vileplume, respectively.

Su Hao and Bai Ziyu exchanged a glance, neither of them bothered by the unfavorable attribute.

The opponent's strength was roughly as shown in the data: a late-stage Elite-level Venusaur and a mid-stage Elite-level Vileplume.

Seeing that the opposing team had released two Water-type Pokémon, Xu Tingting's face lit up with joy: "They underestimated us and didn't send out their ace Pokémon, we have a chance!"

Doubles matches offer the best chance to upset these seeded teams. If the opponent underestimates you by not fielding their ace, your ace has a chance to win!

He Qi also looked delighted: "Leave Milotic to Venusaur, I'll take her down as soon as possible. Kingdra, have your Vileplume hold her off for a bit!"

The referee gave the whistle, and the match began.

The Queen of the Seas flower stood still and took the lead in using her move. A ball of light radiating intense fire energy was lifted up, lifted into the air, and exploded under the blazing sun.

After unleashing this move, the Queen of the Night was slightly out of breath, as if she had expended a lot of energy.

Weather-based attack, activate!

In an instant, the fire and grass-type energies in the air gained the upper hand, weakening the water-type Milotic and Kingdra to some extent!

------------

Milotic.

Chapter 272 The power of crushing

"Is it a sunny day... I pray for rain!"

Sunny Day doesn't significantly weaken Milotic and Kingdra, as they can easily use moves of other types, such as Dragon-type moves.

However, since the other party wanted to steal the weather, Su Hao wouldn't let them have their way.

The moment Su Hao gave the order, Venusaur's attack followed immediately, a huge ball of energy hurtling straight toward Milotic.

Milotic is temporarily unable to move during her Rain Dance, making this the perfect time to attack her.

The King Thorn Dragon's eyes narrowed, and it found the weak point in the energy ball.

This Kingdra's special ability is Sniper, which not only provides a damage bonus for hitting vital points, but also gives Kingdra an extremely strong ability to spot weaknesses.

The next moment, a slender ice arrow shot out from the mouth of the Dragon King, arriving first despite being launched later.

The energy ball was instantly shattered by this freezing beam, turning into specks of green fluorescence and dissipating.

He Qi frowned slightly; this was bad.

It was because Vileplume possessed the Sunny Day move that he teamed up with Xu Tingting, since their Pokémon both had the Chlorophyll ability.

In the competition between weather systems, only when the difference in strength is too great will one side prevail over the other.

Most of the time, it becomes a situation where each side keeps to itself, with the weather on both sides occupying its own territory.

The moment the energy ball dissipated, the sun was gradually obscured by gathering dark clouds, and in the blink of an eye, half of the sunlight was blocked.

A light drizzle began to fall, then grew heavier and heavier, bending the lush green grass under the pounding raindrops.

Even Milotic, who had unleashed the Rain Dance, was somewhat surprised, her beautiful eyes fixed on the dark clouds above.

He couldn't believe what he was seeing and exclaimed in panic, "How could it be so fast... before the bright sunshine is completely covered by the blazing sun!"

Xu Tingting, in a trembling voice, gave the command: "Overlord Flower, Sunfire!" (Note 1)

Her "Overlord Flower" technique, which she had studied extensively for a long time, was so easily overshadowed.

Is the gap in strength between them and the favorites to win the championship really that big? Thinking of this, Xu Tingting couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

"Oh, I didn't know you had this trick up your sleeve. Let's press our advantage!"

"King Thorn Dragon, Blizzard!"

Bai Ziyu was delighted, not expecting Su Hao's Milotic to be so proficient in weather-related moves.

Su Hao frowned, a doubt creeping into his mind.

But the opponent's Solar Flare would be unleashed after the bright sunshine was completely covered, and he didn't have time to think: "Milkyr, use Blizzard!"

In just a few breaths, the bright sunshine was completely overshadowed by the rain, and Milotic's long body moved slenderly across the damp earth, arriving beside King Thorn Dragon.

The two Pokémon exchanged a glance, and an extremely dense chill suddenly rose up, freezing and shattering the raindrops falling near them before they could even fall.

The rain intensified, even reminding local residents of Beijing of the recent continuous light rain.

Venusaur and Vileplume were on the opposite side of the field, forming a pincer movement with Milotic and Kingdra on this side. A white orb radiating enormous energy formed the moment the bright sunlight completely obscured it, and in an instant, it was unleashed!

Two beams of green fluorescence pierced through the rain curtain, merging into one at the center, and an increasingly enormous pillar of light hurtled toward Milotic.

At that moment, a glint flashed in Milotic's and Kingdra's eyes, and a blizzard was unleashed!

Countless ice crystals, formed from raindrops, erupted with unstoppable force, accompanied by a biting wind!

The overwhelming blizzard froze everything around it—

Grass and ground were frozen into thick blocks of ice. Water and ice have been inseparable since ancient times, and the strong water energy and humid environment of rainy days further amplified the power of the blizzard.

In the instant that the overwhelming cold front met the blazing sun, the extremely hot sun, to some extent, could not even melt the snow and wind, and was instantly defeated.

The blazing sun crumbled far too quickly; before He Qi and Xu Tingting could react, a blizzard swept in.

Venusaur and Vileplume tried to defend themselves, but it was all in vain.

"Squeak-"

A sickening freezing sound rang out, and the distinct presence of Venusaur and Vileplume froze for a moment before gradually dissipating.

After the blizzard subsided, two immobile ice sculptures appeared before the public.

The outcome was decided in a few rounds; after just a few moves, the opponent was quickly suppressed and defeated.

The entire playing field was as silent as a basketball court at four in the morning.

Xu Tingting and He Qi were stunned, unable to believe what they were seeing.

The surface tiers of the two Pokémon are roughly equal: Venusaur and Milotic at the late Elite tier, and Kingdra and Vileplume at the mid Elite tier.

However, just two minutes into the game, what exactly caused this one-sided battle?

The referee was stunned for a moment; even a seasoned veteran like him had never seen anything like this before!

As if realizing it too late, the referee confirmed that Venusaur and the others had lost their ability to battle and hurriedly said, "Venusaur and Vileplume have lost their ability to battle!"

The referee's voice was amplified through the loudspeaker, and the loud sound echoed in the No. 14 arena. The audience in the stands seemed to wake from a dream and instantly burst into huge cheers.

"Minor damage!?"

"Seconds!?"

"Wow, the blizzard unleashed by two non-Ice-type Pokémon is even scarier than an Ice-type Pokémon."

"Milotic! Milotic! I love you!!!"

................

The news that Su Hao and Bai Ziyu, a powerful duo, quickly defeated their opponents in just two minutes during the 32 matches of the Imperial Capital High School Cup instantly became a trending topic.

On the Trainer Forum, Su Hao's Milotic's incredible control over the Rain Dance move, and the blizzard that the two of them could create with their combined power, was a topic of much discussion.

Su Hao and Bai Ziyu sat in the lounge, surrounded by incredibly attentive support staff.

Team leader Luo Song patted the two on the shoulder, his hand trembling slightly, almost unable to speak. After a long while, he could only manage to utter two words: "Amazing!"

Zhao Ci was still focused on the match between Li Hua and Jiang Chengcheng on court number 19 and did not say anything.

Bai Ziyu gave Su Hao a bear hug and exclaimed, "This rainmaking technique is amazing! This blizzard is amazing!"

As the person involved, he knew his own Kingdra's capabilities; his Kingdra's mastery of Blizzard was only good enough to negate Solar Beam.

The overwhelming blizzard was mostly caused by that outrageous Milotic.

Su Hao frowned, letting Bai Ziyu hold him, seemingly preoccupied.

"what happened?"

Holding him, Bai Ziyu noticed that Su Hao's mood was off and asked with concern.

Su Hao shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

He was troubled; this battle was too strange.

It's normal for Milotic's Blizzard move to have this power, since it often hangs out with Articuno.

But the important thing is that Su Hao never let Milas train in the Rainmaking Technique; he could only say that Milas barely mastered it.

But according to Milotic's feedback, she covered the sunny sky with almost no effort, as if the environment here was perfect for rainmaking...

What is going on?

This is the third update, an extra chapter for a reader who loves to comment. Tomorrow will also be the third update.

And happy birthday to me today, hehe!

Note 1: The official translation of Solar Beam is Solar Beam, but I personally think it sounds better.
