Chapter 663 The City of Sirte (9)
"Kortu, this kid's in your hands." The black noblewoman withdrew her sprite and called out to a tall black man. Kotu was her husband; his wife had been instantly defeated, and he had to help her get revenge, otherwise they would become a laughingstock within the Valza faction.
Without a word, Koto threw out a Poké Ball, and a burly Iron Hand Warrior immediately attacked Jia Wencheng. Jia Wencheng retreated hastily, cursing, "Damn it, no sportsmanship at all, attacking the trainer right off the bat!"
In previous arena battles, trainers would bow, release their Pokémon, and wait for the referee's signal before starting the fight. Unexpectedly, this black man named Koto lacked sportsmanship; he had planned to release Milotic next, but now it's too late. His Gengar, which had been protecting him in his shadow, had already rushed out and was fighting his opponent.
Ironclad was entangled by Gengar, and Fighting-type moves were ineffective against Ghost-types, leaving it temporarily unable to use its full power. Koto grinned wickedly and threw another Poké Ball directly at Jia Wencheng. As the Poké Ball flew closer, a Pokémon flew out, and Machamp, with four arms, leaped out, punching Jia Wencheng.
Jia Wencheng was prepared. He took a step back, and a Reflector suddenly appeared in his original spot to block the heavy punch. He then used Psychic to repel the monster's strength.
Koto threw out his third Poké Ball, and Jia Wencheng unleashed his last two Poké Balls: Milotic and Gyarados. Facing off against Hitmonlee, Hitmonlee, and Hitmonchan, a chaotic four-on-five battle ensued. Jia Wencheng had two Pokémon already unable to battle, putting him at a numerical disadvantage. However, Alakazam's Psychic-type was super effective against the Fighting-type Pokémon on the field, giving Jia Wencheng's side a temporary advantage.
"You guys are breaking the rules! We agreed to one-on-one, and now you're turning this into a chaotic brawl!" Jia Wencheng shouted at the opposing team.
"I told you it was a one-on-one battle between trainers, not one-on-one between Pokémon. I like to have all the Pokémon on the field; that's what makes the battle more interesting." Seeing that Jia Wencheng had no Pokémon left, Koto took out his last Poké Ball and threw it forcefully at Jia Wencheng.
The Poké Ball exploded in mid-air, and a Lopunny leaped out, launching a flying kick straight at Jia Wencheng, intending to kill the opposing trainer with its Pokémon. Jia Wencheng stood there motionless, his expression calm and composed. Just half a meter away from him, a Reflector appeared, deflecting the Lopunny's flying kick, and an Alakazam emerged from behind him.
"Two Alakazam?" Kotu was taken aback.
"No, there are three." Jia Wencheng pointed in another direction, where another Alakazam was firing a psychic attack at the Lopunny, which leaped away to avoid the attack.
Three Alakazam formed a defensive formation, protecting the trainer in the center. Koto realized something was amiss; these weren't just three Alakazam, but Substitute moves. However, what surprised him was that Substitutes could unleash attacks similar to their original forms. Substitutes are usually used to block damage and confuse opponents, possessing virtually no combat power. The girl's Fooki from earlier was the same; its Substitute's combat power was similar to its original form. This could only be achieved by mastering Substitute moves to their absolute limit.
Of course, this isn't without its costs. Creating a Substitute requires a significant amount of stamina, and the stronger the Substitute, the more stamina it consumes. Furthermore, a Substitute can never perfectly match the original Pokémon's combat power. Therefore, no one would allocate a large amount of stamina to Substitutes. Especially for a Pokémon like Alakazam, which boasts high attack and speed but low stamina, how could it possibly specialize in Substitutes?
Koto, of course, didn't know that this wasn't something Jia Wencheng had willingly trained; rather, it was a super Stand technique that Alakazam had honed for playing mobile games with friends. Since playing games doesn't require much physical strength but does demand intelligence and coordination, Alakazam's Stand ability was already close to its original form and could perfectly coordinate with it. The only drawback was that it was easily destroyed, wasting a lot of stamina.
Jia Wencheng touched the Key Stone, and all three Alakazam simultaneously emitted a burst of evolutionary light. Koto did the same, and his Lopunny was also enveloped in the evolutionary light. The moment the evolution was complete, Koto regretted it, because Lopunny was originally a Normal-type, and after Mega Evolution, it gained the Fighting type. Although its strength increased, its type was completely countered by the Psychic-type Alakazam.
Furthermore, Lopunny is fast and good at jumping, but Alakazam's teleportation is even faster. With three Alakazam locking on, Lopunny was severely injured by a single Psychic attack in no time.
The chaotic battle lasted only a few minutes before all of Koto's Pokémon were unable to battle. However, Jia Wencheng's side was also severely depleted; Alakazam, controlling two Substitutes, was fighting at high intensity and had reached its stamina limit. Only Milotic and Gyarados still had the strength to fight.
Jia Wencheng's consecutive victories over two legendary Pokémon, totaling 12 Pokémon, greatly surprised Valza. He suspected that the last remaining youth, who had not yet appeared, might be even stronger. Four of his seven legendary Pokémon had already been defeated, and he wondered if the remaining three could suppress the final youth. Would he have to personally intervene?
"That's enough fighting, that's enough fighting," Jia Wencheng waved his hand. "I'll need them to protect me in the upcoming melee. Milotic, you protect Jessie. Ash, send one of them to protect Misty. The rest are up to you." Jia Wencheng retreated.
Wang Qiyi nodded and tossed a Poké Ball to Jiang Zining. Jerry bounced into Jiang Zining's arms. Jiang Zining then released her Guardian Dragon, whose massive head formed a protective wall behind her: "I have it protecting me."
"I'd completely forgotten about it. Jerry, you can stay with me too; an extra elf means extra security. We've had enough fun, let's go. We can't rest here tonight, let's find somewhere else."
Varza was bewildered by their conversation. The four of them were surrounded by him; didn't they realize their predicament? Leave? Where to go? Did they think they didn't exist? He had initially viewed these four young men with appreciation for their talent, but their arrogant expressions were making him very unhappy.
"Hey, are you surrendering now or do you want to finish this last round? You've done a great job, but my patience has its limits. Don't treat my men like decorations," Valza shouted at Wang Qiyi.
“Mr. Valza, if you stop here, this matter will end here. My brothers have gained experience, and we can consider it a friendship. After all, we don’t want to cause trouble tonight. But if you force me to show my true strength, I’m afraid things will get complicated.”
"Hahaha..." Varza burst into laughter, "Don't you know your own situation? You still dare to speak so arrogantly even now, I really don't know where you get your confidence from."
"Enough with all this nonsense, brother. I'll make them kneel down and talk." Gru couldn't stand it anymore. He had originally planned to let the other two legends make their move first, but Wang Qiyi's arrogant remarks made him unable to tolerate it. He directly sent his ace, the Electric Monster, to pounce on Wang Qiyi.
With a deafening boom, Electivire was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. The entire arena fell silent. Gru stared wide-eyed at the flying Electivire in disbelief. Standing opposite him was Infernape, a creature no bigger than a 10-year-old child, who had defeated his ace with a single punch.
Valza abruptly stood up: "Legendary power!" At his words, the remaining three Legendaries all became alert, releasing all their Pokémon. Valza's Gyarados also stood upright, unleashing its Intimidate ability. Goku glared back fearlessly, completely unaffected by the Intimidate.
The intimidation of the early-stage legendary Pokémon had no effect whatsoever, suggesting that this Infernape was probably at least mid-stage legendary or even higher. This made Valza alarmed. With a mid-stage legendary Pokémon present, even with their superior numbers, they wouldn't be able to subdue it in a short time.
However, he wasn't panicked. After all, Infernape was a Fire-type, and his Gyarados was a Water-type, which was super effective against it. He also had Mega Evolution, and this was the beach, the home ground of the Water-type Gyarados. It would be too naive to think that he could escape from here with just this Infernape.
