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

Despite her perfectly controlled aura, Infernape couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

This is a formidable opponent!

Li Luoyan raised an eyebrow, feeling both surprised and delighted when his guess came true.

At least five years from now, Su Hao might be able to take their place!

Li Luoyan said with certainty, "Indeed, the paper your mother published was written for you."

Su Hao did not deny it, and smiled confidently: "Witness for me, she is my trump card."

Pokémon: Infernape

Attribute: [Fire + Fighting]

Gender: Female

Characteristic: [Iron Fist]

Level: [Professional Late Stage]

Su Hao knew that although this match was nominally called an exhibition match, it would be more appropriate to call it a coaching match.

Su Hao waved his right hand and gave the order: "Attack with sharp stones!"

Diancie lightly touched the ground, and dozens of sharp stone pillars pierced the ground, interlocking and attacking Infernape from all directions at tricky angles.

Li Luoyan responded with ease, chuckling, "Excellent application of the technique: build up your strength and then enhance your punch!"

This Diancie, currently the only one of its kind in the world, appears to be only at the mid-pro level, a small tier lower than her Infernape. However, the speed and power of her moves are currently quite impressive.

But this is not enough.

Each of Su Hao's Pokémon so far has its own unique characteristics. Let him discover what makes this Diancie so special in battle.

"Acha—!"

Infernape roared, its slender body instantly solidifying as steam billowed out. Then, Infernape's waist and stance became one, its fists moving in a dense, impenetrable motion, easily shattering the stone pillar that had pierced its front!

Su Hao narrowed his eyes slightly. He noticed that as Infernape punched, its muscles bulged and white steam never stopped rising.

For example... during the battle, the enhanced moves naturally stack up to their maximum level!

As expected, the Elite Four all possess the skill of perpetuating enhanced moves. When Lance used Noivern against Diancie, he held back!

"boom--!"

As the last stone pillar shattered, Infernape moved nimbly, its feet firmly planted on the ground, and it seemed to transform into a cannonball, rushing towards Diancie in the blink of an eye.

Her fists gleamed with a silvery-gray metallic sheen, clearly a specially crafted Steel-type move—four times stronger than Diancie's Bullet Punch.

Just then, Li Luoyan slowly spoke: "Sonic Fist".

"Acha acha acha—!"

A glint of light flashed in Infernape's blue eyes. It crouched slightly, gathering its power in its dantian, and then unleashed a powerful punch!

Infernape swung its fists at an astonishing speed, dozens of times per second, each punch turning into a flash of silver light, blocking all of Diancie's escape routes.

However, Diancie remained calm and composed, gently raising her hands, her body radiating countless pink rays of light, seemingly forming a repulsive force field. Infernape's fist shadow was shattered in an instant, and Infernape itself was blasted away!

Infernape felt as if it had been hit by a warhammer, its body flying backward and rolling several times on the ground before it could barely regain its footing.

"just--!"

A look of obvious surprise flashed across Infernape's eyes; she was currently in perfect condition after using Bulk Up six times.

In this state, her powerful boxing skills are enough to rival ordinary early-game Gym Leader level Pokémon.

Even so, her punches were easily suppressed and shattered by Diancie.

Su Hao's gaze remained calm and unwavering as he gave the order once more: "Control the Earth!"

Diancie closed her eyes and gently raised her hands again, causing the surrounding air to ripple.

The next instant, a dreamlike, multicolored pillar of light rose from the ground, surrounding Diancie. The pillar of light transformed into points of light, forming a halo that flowed into Diancie's body, as if dressing her in a shimmering, ethereal robe.

Surrounded by a dazzling halo, Diancie slowly emanated powerful and mysterious energy fluctuations.

Diancie's item, Powerful Herb, shattered and slowly disappeared the moment her attack was successfully unleashed.

Upon seeing this, the well-informed Li Luoyan was filled with doubt: "Earth Control...? What kind of move is that?"

It looks like an enhanced move... but the atmosphere is extremely off.

Could it be that this Diancie, like Milotic and Electivire, encountered a legendary Pokémon-related opportunity?

Chapter 296 The world should know your name

In any case, this Diancie easily neutralized Infernape's moves in several encounters.

An unbelievable yet perfectly correct answer came to mind.

Infernape in its sixth Bulk Up state is at a disadvantage against Diancie before she is fully upgraded!

Li Luoyan lowered his voice and muttered a complaint under his breath, his voice so soft that even his headset couldn't pick it up: "Little monster!"

He finally understood why that rascal Bai Du was so eager to encourage him to accept the invitation to the High School Cup.

The Noivern trainer in the Diancie battle video released by Su Qing is probably Bai Du!

This guy is trying to make him mess up during his live stream!

Li Luoyan's mind was racing, but his expertise as a top-tier trainer ensured that his command remained meticulous and flawless: "Close Combat!"

He hasn't experienced such a role reversal since becoming a superstar.

Even though it was at a disadvantage in several battles, Infernape still fearlessly pressed forward.

bang bang bang-

Countless punches tore through the air, and the audience's eyes simply couldn't keep up with Infernape's punching speed; they could only hear the continuous explosions.

Meanwhile, Diancie remained spotless, a solid pinkish-purple wall standing eternally between the two sides like an unyielding fortress.

It is like an insurmountable barrier.

click-

Under Infernape's relentless onslaught, Reflect finally gave way and shattered, disappearing from sight.

After finally breaking through the Reflect barrier, Infernape had no time to think. A full moon in the night sky radiated pink light, and its long-awaited destructive aura locked onto her. Her muscles throbbed with pain, and she was unable to retreat or escape for a moment.

Li Luoyan decisively said, "Block it! Unleash your full power with the Great Flame Burst!"

Ultimately, as the Fire-type Elite Four member, his Infernape is more skilled in Fire-type moves than in boxing!

The flames on Infernape's head suddenly erupted, the flickering firelight turning her white fur a deep red.

As Infernape inhaled a large amount of air, extremely dense fire-type energy gathered, and after a short while, hot air swirling with flames burst forth from her mouth.

In response to the "Sword of Damocles," which fell from the sky and whose terrifying power could not be concealed even amidst the dazzling starlight and moonlight, the endless flames, under the control of Infernape, did not transform into a "大" (big) shape. Instead, they condensed and compressed into a highly destructive beam of fire.

Looking into the distance, one could see a meteor falling from the sky, while on the ground, a spectacular ray of light intertwined with countless rays of light.

As the two beams of light intersected, the powerful aftershocks of the explosion reached the stadium even faster than the sound.

The massive flames collided with the power of the moon, unleashing a dazzling light and intense energy.

The logistics manager of the High School Cup turned pale and roared, "Hurry, hurry, hurry!! Deploy the arena energy shield, level Gym! Get the second layer of the King's Shield in place, be prepared for the shield to be shattered by the aftershocks!"

Damn it, the Pokémon used by both sides in today's battle are only at the professional level, but they are now unleashing attacks that are no less powerful than Gym Leader level Pokémon!

The Four Heavenly Kings are one thing, but what's with this Su Hao?!

The rolling, scattering air currents continuously impacted the energy shield, producing a continuous roar. This sound, like thunder, shook everyone in the audience. Their minds were captivated by this intense battle, and they even dared not breathe.

Under this powerful impact, countless ripples and waves continuously spread across the surface of the seemingly indestructible energy shield, as if it could be pierced at any moment.

To the uninitiated, this scene might look like two celestial kings fighting.

Moments later, the Aegislash team arrived.

After the King's Shield was deployed, the audience felt much more at ease, no longer afraid of being killed by the aftershocks.

"...I underestimated him."

Looking at the scene before her, Ning Ling bit her lip and had to admit that her crystal lamp spirit was just a little sister in front of Diancie.

Who exactly is Su Hao, the Pokémon that firmly suppresses the Elite Four?

Shen Lingyun's eyes seemed to sparkle as he excitedly exclaimed, "My premonition was right!"

A new shining star is rising.

Up!

"just--"

Infernape's eyes were filled with anger and struggle as she watched the radiant power of the moon easily slice her Flame Burst in two, the flames shooting downwards.

This scene left the audience in disbelief, and they all gasped in shock.
