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

Just then, the teacher, who hadn't spoken until now, said, "That's all for today's match recordings. As usual, everyone gather at the arena in the main center to watch a live match."

"There will be a battle between Master Ball level trainers later, and the battle between Gym level Pokémon will be very exciting, so everyone must concentrate."

As soon as he finished speaking, the students stirred up instantly, their eyes shining brightly, clearly eager to watch the game that was about to begin.

The alliance has allocated a great deal of resources to nurture these promising talents, including teaching courses that broaden their horizons by allowing them to observe real-world scenarios.

Groups of students ignored the teacher's warnings and ran out of the classroom like the wind, giving the teacher a headache.

As the teacher stood up, rubbing her forehead, her gaze fell on Jiang Yueluo, who was quietly walking out of the classroom carrying Hua Beibei, and she sighed inwardly.

The child is still alone today, and he hasn't participated in any combat training, using his awakened Tokiwa power as a shield.

As a result, Jiang Yueluo became an oddity in the microcosm of the class, and no classmate wanted to be his friend.

Jiang Yueluo, who possesses the power of Tokiwa, is an irreplaceable talent. The teachers have talked to Jiang Yueluo several times, asking him to better integrate into the class group. However, Jiang Yueluo said that he only needs Hua Beibei and doesn't care about making friends.

Perhaps this is the eccentricity of geniuses; teachers don't quite understand it.

Following Jiang Yueluo, the teacher sighed and walked towards the arena.

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

"This match is recognized as a master-level formulaic battle, and the two sides are—"

"Su Hao, the 9999th Elite Trainer at the Master Ball level; Wu Ran, the 9999th Gym Leader at the Master Ball level!"

Su Hao's lips twitched as he appeared, suddenly remembering that he seemed to have forgotten to participate in the Gym Leader assessment...

Even on a weekday, the arena stands were still packed with spectators. Among them were Pokémon battle enthusiasts, paparazzi waiting to see if there were any high-profile battles, and trainers who came to watch others battle to improve their own skills.

When these people heard the referee call out the name, they were first stunned, and then they all turned their eyes to the entrance passage.

When they saw Su Hao, they were certain that this was the same Su Hao who had caused such a stir more than half a month ago, but whose whereabouts had been unknown. He was the first person to use super evolution, an achievement worthy of being recorded in history.

In a sense, Su Hao's current fame is not much less than that of the Four Heavenly Kings champion.

Now, Su Hao, who has been frantically sought after by the media, has suddenly appeared in Changqing City, and even directly...

They had a master-level match!

In that instant, the paparazzi who had been staking out the area turned flushed and kept shouting that they were about to make a fortune, quickly calling their colleagues to tell them that there was big news!

The teacher, who had just settled the students in the gifted youth program, was startled by their excited exclamations. Following their gaze, he saw the figure of the person standing on the opposing battlefield—a figure he had just seen on a videotape...

The teacher's pupils contracted, and she exclaimed in shock, "No way... what a coincidence?"

"I never expected my opponent to be you... But even if you send out that Lucario, I will still struggle ugly until the very end."

After the initial shock, Wu Ran extended his right hand, his face full of determination.

Su Hao had a good impression of Wu Ran, a pure trainer. He nodded slightly, then extended his left hand to shake hands with him and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't send out Lucario. Let's have a battle of equal strength."

Wu Ran paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Then you'd better be careful. Don't let yourself be taken advantage of in front of so many people. Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm quite strong."

"Will do."

Su Hao withdrew his left hand and returned to the command seat.

Suddenly, two somewhat familiar waves startled him. His gaze fell precisely on the junior class in the audience, where he saw the familiar white-haired boy and Hua Beibei in his arms. Su Hao's mood strangely improved.

That's a coincidence.

The children's complexions were much rosier than when I first met them, and Hua Beibei also seemed very energetic, so it seems they are doing quite well.

At the gifted youth program's designated spot, several students exclaimed in surprise, "Is Senior Su Hao looking over here?!"

"He looked over here, and we made eye contact!"

He even smiled at us!!!

"Ahhhh!"

While the students were so excited they were about to faint, Jiang Yueluo remained calm and held Hua Beibei. Even the teacher found it strange. He remembered that although Jiang Yueluo hadn't shown it much, he should also like Su Hao.

Even though the other person was looking over, why was the child still so indifferent?

Jiang Yueluo's expression remained unchanged, but her hands clenched slightly, and her breathing quickened.

He knew very well that Su Hao had been looking at him, not at the other students in the gifted youth program!

Jiang Yueluo's turbulent heart was only noticed by Hua Beibei, who was closest to him. She landed on his head and looked curiously at the battlefield.

At this moment, Su Hao had already looked away and tossed a very nice commemorative ball high into the air.

Hua Beibei's memories of Su Hao quickly returned. She remembered that there was a photo of Jiang Yueluo and this human in her home.

Hua Beibei remembered Jiang Yueluo telling her that Su Hao was the person he respected most.

Chapter 736 The Case of Metagross, the Power to Destroy Genes

A red light flashed, and the two Pokémon gazed at each other from afar.

The appearance of the silvery-white giant monster on Su Hao's side caused a few gasps.

It's not just a quasi-god, but it's also an odd-colored one. Its rarity goes beyond just being rare. For many people present, witnessing it even once would be considered a stroke of good fortune in their lifetime.

As his name suggests, Wu Ran sent out a Fire-type Typhlosion.

As soon as it left the Poké Ball and stood on the field, Typhlosion ignited the flames near its neck, and a wave of intense heat spread out. Typhlosion's sharp eyes were fixed on Metagross, showing no arrogance despite Metagross being a lower level than it.

Su Hao knew very well that Wu Ran was the most troublesome opponent. Wu Ran was well aware of his own strength, so he would not underestimate him or hold back from the beginning. Metagross would be facing an opponent whose attributes were superior to his own, whose level was higher, and who would be cautious throughout the entire game.

In the audience, the teacher of the gifted youth program was different from the young kids around him who only judged by appearances. He could clearly recognize the world-shaking difference between the auras emitted by Metagross and Typhlosion.

One is a professional-level late-game player, and the other is a dojo-level mid-game player; that's quite a difference.

Or is it that this Metagross can also Mega Evolve like that Lucario, and that's why Su Hao sent out Metagross without any hesitation because he had such a trump card?

He doesn't understand.

When Metagross appeared, even Jiang Yueluo couldn't resist the urge to scream like his classmates. Although he restrained himself from screaming, his eyes were still fixed on Metagross's shiny steel body.

He was a boy too, so naturally he couldn't resist Metagross's incredibly cool, cosmically explosive steel body.

Jiang Yueluo's focused gaze on the Metagross made Hua Beibei feel a pang of jealousy. What was so good about that big metal lump? Was it as fragrant as this?

Hua Beibei didn't understand.

On the field, Wu Ran waved his hand, and the heat wave around the Firestorm Beast began to ripple. The crimson wave instantly covered the battle area, while forcing the energy barrier to rise directly to protect the audience.

The heatwave was extremely hot; ordinary flammable materials would likely ignite upon contact, and even a Metagross would probably have its silvery-white body burned red-hot if it accidentally touched it.

Fortunately, in addition to being a Steel-type Pokémon, Metagross is also a Psychic-type Pokémon.

The mental energy transformed into psychic power, surging out of the body like a wave, instantly forming a psychic shield made of pure mental energy, helping Metagross resist the omnipresent heat waves.

This was a one-on-one battle. If he could defeat the Megalodon, Su Hao would lose. This made Wu Ran happy. It seemed that his luck was pretty good.

But now is not the time to be careless. Wu Ran's lips curled up: "Not bad, you've got some skills, Flame Throw!"

A scorching line of fire streaked across the sky and struck Metagross's psychic shield. As the energy clashed, the shield was being dissolved by the violent energy of the flames, and it looked like it would reach Metagross's body in no time.

Su Hao naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. Taking advantage of Metagross's psychic shield still being active, he decisively ordered, "Charge! Comet Punch!"

"No tower!"

Metagross clasped its fists together, and the magnetic force flowing in its blood began to exert its influence outward. Enveloped by a psychic shield, it instantly transformed into a giant battering ram, directly breaking through layers of heat waves and crashing fiercely into Tyrannosaurus.

The Firestorm Beast wasn't intimidated. It held its fists, wreathed in flames, in front of it and directly clashed head-on with the charging Metagross.

Tyranitar's body sank, and when it stood up, it was exceptionally tall. Its feet were now deeply embedded in the ground, and fine cracks appeared around the affected area, demonstrating the immense force of Metagross.

Wu Ran's expression was solemn. He hadn't expected that Metagross, a late-stage professional-level monster, would be so powerful. Even Typhlosion's next punch wouldn't be easy.

However, this was still within his expectations, after all, Typhlosion's most powerful move was still its terrifying wide-range fire attribute attack!

Wu Ran waved his hand and shouted, "Firestorm Beast, breathe fire!"

Flames burned fiercely in the eyes of the Fiery Beast, which roared to the sky. Instantly, the surrounding temperature rose sharply, and the heavy smell of gunpowder filled the entire area.

The next moment, a massive pillar of fire erupted from behind the Firestorm Beast, shooting straight into the sky, with countless flames trailing black smoke as they fell—it was simply...

Like a volcanic eruption, the flames dyed the sky crimson, sending a chill down one's spine.

Many viewers who were passionate about combat covered their eyes, already imagining Metagross's psychic shield being shattered by its fire breath, and then losing its ability to fight amidst the boundless flames.

Paparazzi and reporters who heard the news set up their professional equipment, ready to capture the moment when Metagross was defeated.

They've even come up with the news headlines.

Shocking! National Youth Championship winner and Super Evolution user Su Hao suffers a crushing defeat in his first battle back in China! Let's analyze the specific reasons...

The gifted children in the special program were simple and honest; they were all so excited that their faces turned red, and they cheered for Metagross with all their might.

Kids are always like this; once they've chosen an idol, they rarely change their minds.

Jiang Yueluo, who was sitting quietly, stared wide-eyed, as if she wanted to remember this scene: "This is... the battle of a gymnastics-level trainer!"

He didn't shout like the other classmates simply because, in Jiang Yueluo's heart... Su Hao was the strongest!

Such a wide-range and terrifying attack is almost impossible to avoid. At least with Metagross's current strength, it would be difficult for it to escape unscathed from this terrifying fire breath.

Su Hao raised an eyebrow; it seemed the time was right.
