Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

"I see..."

Karuni's gray hair flew wildly in the heat.

"This is your true nature."

"Bonnie!"

Suddenly, Egui Pong grinned.

The flame patterns on its mask formed a strange smiling face, and the next second—

"boom!"

The entire battlefield was engulfed in flames!

With a flick of her small hand, Egui Peng pulled the thorny vine staff out from under her cloak. The ordinary wooden staff, bathed in the light of the Taijing Fire, instantly burst into flames, the flickering flames even faintly forming a dragon shape!

"Strengthen your willpower!"

Mega Gardevoir's eyes burst forth with a dazzling pink light, and its immense psychic power surged towards Evil Creeper like a tsunami.

"Sizzle—!"

The moment the spiritual energy touched the Flaming Thorn Staff, it evaporated and dissipated like ice and snow hitting a branding iron.

Ergui Peng didn't even move an inch. He simply waved the burning thorny vine club, creating a barrier of flames in front of him to completely block out the mental attacks!

"How is that possible?!"

Karuni's fingertips trembled slightly.

"It's...ineffective?"

The eyes beneath the mask of the evil spirit narrowed into two crescent moons. Suddenly, it slammed its thorny vine into the ground!

"Boom!"

Centered on the tip of the rod, the ground within a ten-meter radius instantly collapsed into a lava pool!

Amidst the churning flames, its petite figure shot into the sky like a cannonball, its burning thorny vines pointing directly at Mega Gardevoir in the air!

That wasn't a battle at all...

It was divine punishment brought down by the God of Fire!

This is what people outside the arena are thinking.

The figure of the Egui Peng drew a line of fire in the air, and the thorny vine club, carrying a heat wave that could burn everything, crashed down!

Mega Gardevoir retreated rapidly, using psychic powers to create layers of barriers in front of it.

boom! boom! boom!

The burning thorny vine club shattered three mental barriers in quick succession. Each swing exploded into a shower of sparks, and Mega's elegant skirt was scorched with blackened holes by the splashing lava.

"Shauna—!"

Mega Gardevoir tried to use Teleport to create distance, but Dire Phantom was faster!

The tiny figure clung to Gardevoir like a leech, its thorny vines whipping into a whirlwind of flames, sealing off all of Gardevoir's escape routes.

What took the audience's breath away the most was—

Whenever Gardevoir tries to retaliate, the flames on its mask flare up, and the terrifying heat causes the Psychic-type moves to dissipate before they can even take shape!

"boom!"

A powerful upward strike hit Gardevoir in the abdomen, sending it flying into the air.

"boom!"

Following a sweeping attack from mid-air, Mega Gardevoir plummeted like a kite with a broken string, its psychic field shattering.

The treacherous creature landed lightly, hoisting its thorny staff onto its shoulder—

That posture seemed to say:

"The so-called queen..."

"That's all there is to it."

The Carlos fans in the stands were stunned, and their cheering sticks fell to the ground with a "clatter".

"The Champion's Gardevoir was..."

A girl wearing a Gardevoir hair clip covered her mouth, her eyes instantly reddening.

The real-time data on the large screen showed that Mega Gardevoir's psychic power reading was plummeting.

The once elegant superheroine is now suspended in mid-air, disheveled and her skirt charred and torn...

"impossible..."

"That's Miss Karuni's signature item..."

In a street-side café, several people wearing old Flare Team uniforms silently lowered the brim of their hats.

They had never seen such a horrific scene when their entire team was wiped out by Gardevoir alone.

The little boy in the front row suddenly burst into tears. His carefully crafted Gardevoir doll had its skirt scorched by flying sparks.

The entire Kalos region seemed to be muted, with only the crackling of the flames on the Evilthorn Vine Staff remaining. The sound, at that moment, seemed to be scorching the pride of every Kalos trainer.

Mega Gardevoir is still trying to find a way to remedy the situation.

But his mental barrier, like fragile glass, crumbled layer by layer before the treacherous flames and thorny vines.

With each confrontation, I found myself in a more disheveled state.

Its teleportation was interfered with by the high temperature, and the position it flashed to was always half a meter shorter than expected;

Its powerful spiritual energy was evaporated as soon as it was formed, and its superpower energy dissipated like morning mist meeting the rising sun.

Even the most basic illusionary rays of light were distorted into laughable fireworks by the distorted heat waves surrounding the Evil Phantom.

boom!

The final blow struck Gardevoir's waist, sending it flying against the protective barrier.

As it slid down, the light of Mega Evolution suddenly went out as if the power had been cut off, revealing its original, scarred true form.

For the first time in three years,

Gardevoir in Mega Evolution...

They were forcefully brought back to their original state!

With the Thornvine Club restored to normal, Evil Pine tilted its head and looked at Gardevoir, who was lying on the ground, unable to get up.

It suddenly reached out and straightened the slightly tilted crystal mask, a gesture so innocent it was chilling.

After all, it was these little hands just now.

They beat the Queen of Incredibles so badly she couldn't fight back!

……

Requesting more updates, free gifts, five-star review.

Anyone here who's going to the Kuro Game Carnival in August and the Pokémon Masters in Beijing in September?

If so, I'll catch the acrylic standee the author gave to Li Chen.

Chapter 641 Who should we go find next? Ash's training

Karune's fingertips gently traced the Poké Ball, her movements exceptionally gentle as she retrieved the battered Gardevoir.

She looked down at the mottled scorch marks on the surface of the sphere, her eyes swirling with complex emotions.

Her clothes fluttered slightly in the lingering heat, and the decorations in her hair had somehow become askew.

"I concede."

Her voice was soft, yet it instantly silenced the entire heated battlefield.

Someone in the audience accidentally knocked over a drink, and the sound of liquid dripping down the steps could be clearly heard.

Li Chen raised his hand, signaling Egui Pong to stop.

The little Pokémon, which was hopping and spinning around with its thorny club on its back, immediately and obediently put away its flames upon hearing this, and its Crystal Mask snapped back into its normal form.

It tilted its head to look at Karuni, revealing half of its innocent smiling face beneath its tattered cloak.

It was completely different from the "disaster beast" that had just wreaked havoc.

"Why?" Li Chen took the towel that Rotom drone tremblingly handed him, wiping away non-existent sweat from his forehead. "Gardedor should still be able to fight."

"..."

How could you say something like that? Aren't you ashamed?

Karuni really wanted to say that.

However, they didn't say that.

She reattached her hair ornament and suddenly chuckled softly.

This smile transformed her back into the elegant champion actress on screen, as if her earlier embarrassment had never existed.

"My Gardevoir can indeed stand up." She walked to the center of the arena, her high heels making a soft sizzling sound as they clicked across the molten ground. "But as a trainer, I know better than anyone—"

She stopped three steps away from Li Chen and reached out to brush away non-existent dust from his shoulder. This intimate gesture elicited a gasp from the audience.

"When the gap in strength reaches this extent..."

Her fingertip lightly touched Li Chen's chest.

"To continue fighting would be to betray my comrades."

Ergui Peng had somehow gotten between the two of them and was standing on tiptoe trying to touch Karuni's clothes.

Noticing her gaze, the little guy immediately hid the thorny vine behind his back and gave an innocent smile.

"Besides..." Karuni bent down and rubbed the mask of the Evil Spirit, her gray hair slipping from her shoulders, "Being able to witness the legendary Taijinghua, this defeat has become an honor for me."

Her demeanor was so composed that many viewers only realized it at that moment.

This is the first time the Carlos champion has voluntarily conceded defeat in an Open tournament!

Just as Li Chen was about to say something, he suddenly noticed that the Taijing Bead in his pocket was getting hot.

He looked up as if he had a premonition, and just then saw the back of the three-meter-tall giant turning away at the end of the audience.

As the tattered cloak billowed, six ancient devices resembling Poké Balls were vaguely revealed at his waist.

"Next time we meet..."

Karuni followed his gaze, then suddenly lowered her voice.

"It's at the pinnacle of the World Championships."

She picked up her bag, took out a garment that resembled a cape, and gently draped it over Egui Peng's head.

While the little guy was struggling frantically, the gray-haired champion had already left, waving goodbye to everyone with his back turned.

That gesture resembled a farewell.

It's like a declaration of war.

With Karuni's true departure.

The entire battle plaza seemed to be set ablaze, with deafening cheers surging in wave after wave.

"Li Chen! Li Chen! Li Chen!"

The people in the audience stood up in unison and chanted the winner's name rhythmically.

The sound waves pierced the sky, and even the glass of the prism tower in the distance trembled slightly.

Many young people were so excited that their faces turned red, waving anything they could grab.

Hats, scarves, and even newly purchased League of Legends merchandise—the entire venue instantly transformed into a sea of ​​excitement.

When Li Chen tried to leave, the crowd surged in like a tide.

The front row of railings was almost crushed, and security personnel had to form a human wall by holding hands.
