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

Amidst thunderous cheers, Song Jian raised his arms and shouted, "First of all, let's welcome our two main characters to the stage today!"

"Contestant Su Hao!"

"Ning Ling!"

As Song Jian's voice fell, two high-brightness spotlights accurately shone on both sides of the battlefield.

Just like the spotlight shining on a stage when someone enters, all eyes were fixed on the two people in the center of the spotlight.

That wasn't all. Song Jian pointed in one direction with his right hand and smiled, "Please turn your attention to the big screen!"

The direction he was pointing to was the huge screen hanging inside the Ho-Oh Arena.

The screen lit up in a flash, revealing two figures who were household names in the Divine Continent Alliance.

First is Li Luoyan, one of the four kings of the Shenzhou Alliance and a special guest.

Second, Zhang Wei, President of Tsinghua and Peking Universities in Beijing, was a special guest.

"For today's 3V3 singles final, the University Cup has specially invited two guests to provide exciting commentary. Furthermore, Li Tianwang will play a friendly exhibition match against the winner of this final!"

"Now, both players, please release your Pokémon!"

Su Hao withdrew his gaze from Song Jian. He remembered that this person was the commentator for his first official match at the Water Boat Arena after he became a trainer and made his debut.

Taking the fifth-ranked luxury ball from his waist, Su Hao revealed a sharp and shrewd smile.

Just right.

As a farewell gift to the high school life that is gone forever, now is the time to show off your muscles.

From the Emerald Warrior Eagle and the Fiery Roar Tiger to Milotic, and finally Diancie.

It's their turn to take the stage!

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

Su Hao: I am full of puwa.

Patchlitz, Xiaoguang.

Chapter 289 Finals

In the brightly lit commentary room, the handsome Li Luoyan was adjusting the position of his headset and microphone for comfort.

The elderly man in a suit standing next to him, before the microphone was connected to the control panel and broadcast, chatted casually: "Speaking of which, King Li, your son stood here four years ago and eventually lifted the championship trophy."

"I remember, that girl's name was Li Xiao. In the end, she turned down the invitation from Tsinghua and Peking Universities and ran off to Jiangcheng University for love?"

Li Luoyan paused in his work, then smiled awkwardly and said, "You're not mistaken."

Zhang Wei stroked his slightly long, graying beard, feeling a pang of regret.

That kid has good talent, but unfortunately he went to Jiangcheng University, which is now declining, for his girlfriend. We haven't seen him in the college league for the past three years.

As an old man with a keen sense of humor, Zhang Wei was not so low as to deliberately bring up awkward topics. He chuckled and said, "Ning Ling has already agreed to be recommended to Tsinghua and Peking Universities. I came here in person just to secure Su Hao's place before those old guys do, to make it a fait accompli."

Li Luoyan did not reply. As far as he knew, Su Hao was a very subjective person and not a vulgar person who could be swayed by mere interests such as a quasi-god egg.

He adjusted the equipment again and said softly, "It's starting."

The next moment, the delicate sound of the equipment being switched on rang out.

Zhang Wei paused for a moment, then quickly got into character and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the final of this year's University Cup!"

"I am Zhang Wei!"

"I am Li Luoyan!"

With the high-pitched, penetrating sound of the signal gun, Su Hao and Ning Ling simultaneously threw out their Poké Balls.

Ning Ling, her shy demeanor vanished, and said in a chilling tone, "Sniper Tree Owl, it's your turn to shine!"

A large, upright bird Pokémon, Decidueye, dressed in a green cloak and resembling Robin Hood, makes a dashing appearance.

Sniper Deciduous Owl is the final evolution of the famous Minami no Tori (x) Rowlet.

Awarded the "You're Not Allowed to Be Like This" award.

His jade-washing technique is even more so.

Almost simultaneously, the deluxe ball in Su Hao's hand glowed bright red: "It's your turn to enter the arena, Warrior Eagle!"

"Wow—!"

The red light faded, and a large, jet-black raptor, twice the size of a sniper tree owl and with a burning blue-green flame-shaped crest on its forehead, appeared.

Sniper Tree Owl vs. Emerald Warrior Eagle!

Both sides have attributes that are weak against the other, so normally it should be a closely contested battle, but...

As soon as the Emerald Warrior Eagle appeared, a powerful aura from the ancient wilderness, accompanied by a resounding battle cry, instantly swept across the arena!

Without a doubt, this is professional-level pressure!

Zhang Wei, who had been relaxed, could barely hold his teacup of goji berries. Forgetting that he was still live-streaming, he exclaimed in surprise, "Professional level!?"

Li Luoyan was also speechless for a moment, then, not forgetting his job, said, "Unheard of! Su Hao actually has a professional-level trump card up his sleeve."

Li Luoyan admitted that he could not raise two professional-level Pokémon in the six months of his senior year of high school.

The higher the level, the more time and experience are required to hone one's skills.

Ning Ling was at a significant disadvantage against the Elite-level late-game Sniper Tree Owl and the Pro-level early-game Warrior Eagle.

What may seem like a small level difference is actually a chasm that most ordinary Pokémon cannot cross.

Even though Ning Ling had spent a long time in the spirit world with Ghost-type Pokémon, she couldn't suppress her body's reaction at this moment.

Cold sweat kept pouring out.

She wiped her forehead and forced a smile, saying, "A stealthy attack!"

At this level difference, Grass-type moves probably won't do much damage. The only option is to try to use Decidueye's highly effective moves to maneuver around it!

This way, the Crystal Chandelier Spirit will have a chance to defeat the Warrior Eagle.

As for the Blazing Roaring Tiger, she dared not even think about it now.

Su Hao raised an eyebrow, feeling a sense of pleasure as if he were the gatekeeper boss.

His son, Doraki, uses the advanced move "Sneak Attack" every day, so he already has a plan on how to deal with it.

"Fair wind!"

The emerald warrior eagle spreads its enormous wings, countless

The wind, as if it had crowned him as the sovereign of the wind, entwined around him with utter gentleness.

With the help of the wind, the emerald-green warrior eagle, which no longer has any weaknesses, soared into the sky and circled high in the air in just a few breaths.

A circular interdimensional portal suddenly appeared behind the sniper tree owl, and with a flap of its wings, it instantly swallowed it up.

Unlike Doronki, the Sniper Tree Owl cannot stay in the alternate dimension for as long as it wants.

As if racing against time, a few seconds later, a portal to another dimension silently opened behind the Emerald Warrior Eagle, and the Sniper Tree Owl, carrying countless chilling ghost-type energies, crashed straight into him.

The Emerald Eagle is a Flying-type Pokémon that fought against countless strange gales in the Thousand Winds Realm for a whole month.

Every move he made already began to evoke the ethereal and unpredictable spirit of Liu Feng.

With the added speed from the tailwind, he executed a beautiful mid-air stop.

Then, with its head held high, it adopts the classic "Cobra maneuver" pose, positioning its powerful claws directly at the sniper tree owl shrouded in endless darkness.

The concentrated Normal-type energy made his legs stronger and his giant claws even sharper.

Then, the Green Warrior Eagle easily intercepted Decidueye's Ghost-type move in mid-air!

Normal-type move: Tear Claw!

Su Hao often explained the concept of attribute restraint to them when he had free time.

Normal-type moves are ineffective against Ghost-type Pokémon.

Ghost-type moves are also ineffective against Normal-type Pokémon.

In other words, moves formed from normal energy techniques can effectively counter phantom attacks!

Having played with Draco every day, the Green Warrior Eagle is naturally very familiar with the characteristics of Ghost-type Pokémon.

No matter how hard the sniper owl struggled, its giant claws held tightly to its wings.

Despite being a top hunter, he was captured by an even more powerful bird of prey.

But this brave eagle is falling freely with itself!

Has he gone mad?!

Ning Ling watched the two dark figures falling from the sky and thought to herself that things were getting complicated.

Once caught, it's hard to escape.

Her mind raced, and a brilliant idea struck her. She shouted, "Feather Dance!"

Having fallen to this point, the tree owl with its excellent hearing is now able to receive its commands.
