Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

But the audience could tell from their trembling bodies that they had no strength left to fight.

In contrast, Hao Yan's Gardevoir and Mewtwo were still 'wasting' their energy floating in the air.

Apart from being a little tired, I'm perfectly fine.

Clearly, Haoyan has won.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Wallace walked onto the battlefield, gently stroking Milotic, and said to his two Pokémon, "You've done very well!"

"thank you all!"

Then, Wallace took out a Poké Ball and recalled the two Pokémon.

Then, without any hesitation, he gestured to the referee and said, "I lost the first round!"

The two Pokémon were defeated, and Wallace was disappointed, but not discouraged.

In the battle just now, he and his Pokémon did their best.

Although we lost two Pokémon in the first round, it doesn't mean we have no chance.

Even if the chance is slim, we should still fight for it!

... ...

Chapter 501 Haoyan's Demeanor

After defeating Milotic and Kingdra, Hao Yan gently said to Gardevoir, "Lulu, thank you for your hard work, come back now..."

"Shanai~"

Gardevoir obediently returned to its Poké Ball.

Haoyan gently placed Gardevoir's Poké Ball back into his arms, took out a Poké Ball from his waist, and released Tyranitar.

"Class! Class!"

Bangilas was happy to get a chance to play.

However, he did not forget his duty as a tank, and stepped to the front to block Mewtwo.

Gardevoir consumed a considerable amount of energy and stamina when it used the Mega Psychic Wave.

Therefore, Hao Yan chose to replace Gardevoir and let Tyranitar take over the battle.

Although Mewtwo also expended a lot of energy, it is a legendary Pokémon after all, and it is different from ordinary Pokémon. Although it also lost some stamina, it still had a relatively abundant amount of energy in its body.

With the added bonus of four times the special attack, now is the perfect time to make the most of it.

After switching to his Pokémon, Haoyan signaled to the referee that he was ready to continue the battle.

... ...

"Tyranitar and Mewtwo..."

"Their combination is clearly using Tyranitar's strong defensive capabilities as a defensive measure."

"Let Mewtwo, with its 4x Special Attack boost, heal, then deal damage..."

As the current champion, Mikoli also has excellent tactical awareness, so it's not surprising that he could guess Haoyan's thoughts.

Although Tyranitar is terrifyingly tall and heavy, it is not difficult to deal with because it is weak to water-type attacks.

The real troublesome thing is Mewtwo with its quadruple Special Attack buff.

In fact, deep down, Michael knew that he had most likely already lost this battle.

Unless Haoyan actively replaces Mewtwo, which has a fourfold increase in Special Attack.

However, Haoyan shattered his illusions with his actions.

After thinking for a moment, Mikeli released his two Pokémon.

"Come out, Gyarados and Swampert!"

"Super Evolution!"

Pokémon: Gyarados (Mega Evolution)

[Attribute]: Water, Dark

[Level]: 90 (Peak Champion)

[Characteristic]: Mold Breaker (Allows you to use a move against your opponent without being affected by their ability.)

[Introduction]: Although instinct drives it to destroy everything, it will also obey the trainers it truly trusts.

... ...

Pokémon: Swampyra (Mega Evolution)

[Attributes]: Water, Ground

[Level]: 90 (Peak Champion)

【Characteristic】: Swift and Agile (During rain or heavy rain, speed is doubled.)

[Description]: Possesses the strength to tow large ships. A single swing of its powerful arms is enough to defeat an opponent.

... ...

"Speedy, Mega Evolution..."

"Xiao Meng, Mega Evolve into Y form..." Hao Yan used the power of Aura to connect his two Pokémon.

"Class! Class!"

Bangilas roared and began to grow larger.

Its body was covered in sharp rock spikes, and its scarlet eyes were filled with rage.

“… …”

Mewtwo was relatively silent, but its heavy sense of oppression weighed on everyone.

... ...

In the guest seats.

Adek looked into Haoyan's eyes, his admiration undisguised.

“Looking at all of Haoyan’s matches, I’ve noticed a pattern.”

"He will only Mega Evolve his Pokémon after his opponent's Pokémon has Mega Evolved."

"If his opponent's Pokémon can't Mega Evolve, he won't let his Pokémon Mega Evolve!"

"Director Haoyan, what a magnanimous spirit!"

As Alder said, looking at Hao Yan's previous battles, if the opponent's Pokémon doesn't Mega Evolve...

Therefore, Haoyan would not allow his Pokémon to Mega Evolve.

Although there are no restrictions in the rules.

But in Haoyan's view, this was a fair and proper battle between trainers.

It wasn't a random field battle.

They are unwilling and disdainful of using their power to bully others.

Adek patted Mura on the shoulder and said in an envious tone, "Mr. Mura, putting aside the strength of Curator Haoyan, his demeanor alone is enough to make people admire him!"

"You, as a teacher, must be very proud..."

Alder's words were met with nods of agreement from the Elite Four and Daigo, who had just fought against Hiroyuki.

Mura's wrinkled face was filled with pride.

Which teacher wouldn't be proud of such a student?

Dante, the champion of the Galar region, also largely agreed with Adekel's words.

Dandi has never lost a single official tournament, whether big or small.

But it would be like Haoyan, who gave up his original advantages to fight the Four Heavenly Kings and Mikoli.

He can't.

Dan Di clenched his fists, his gaze fixed intently on Hao Yan, who was beaming with pride on the battlefield. He sighed inwardly, "In terms of demeanor, I am no match for Hao Yan!"

Du remained silent; he was inferior to Haoyan in both strength and demeanor.

He had made up his mind that he would definitely go into seclusion to cultivate after returning home.

Karuni's expression was similar.

Zhu Lan took in the expressions of the champions from various regions.

She knew that Haoyan's magnanimity stemmed from his own formidable strength.

A person's magnanimity must be based on sufficient strength.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "Haoyan, you haven't even become a champion yet, but you've already put tremendous pressure on all the champions!"

"You are truly an extraordinary genius!"

As everyone was marveling at the moment, the second round of the battle between Haoyan and Mikoli began.

... ...

Chapter 502: Releasing Lucario signifies the final assault.

"Gyarados, use Aqua Tail to attack Mewtwo!" Wallace immediately shouted.

"Roar~ Roar~"

Michael's Gyarados is larger than a regular Gyarados.

It reached a length of 9 meters.

Although the moisture on the field had been completely used up in the previous battle, it did not affect Gyarados's speed at all.
