"Do you now? Then let's see if you have the strength!"
Without further ado, Ye Feng threw out a Poké Ball. The red-striped Pikachu, filled with aggression, stood on the battle stage.
Did Xiao Bai really have the strength?
To be precise, Daigo had narrowly defeated Xiao Bai in the finals.
Both sides had fought all the way to the sixth Pokémon.
Therefore, Xiao Bai possessed at least the strength of a pseudo-Elite Four, or even an Elite Four level.
"I choose you!"
"Garchomp!!!!"
As Garchomp appeared on the field, a terrifying pressure descended. Its entrance finally drew countless gasps!
A pseudo-legendary!
An absolute pseudo-legendary!
And among the ranks of pseudo-legendaries, it was one of the top-tier powerful beings!
Furthermore, Garchomp's appearance was the rarest of all the Pokémon seen in the Indigo Plateau Conference so far!
"Oh? It's Garchomp?"
Ye Feng smiled as he saw this shark-like Pokémon.
It seemed this Xiao Bai hadn't lied; he indeed had some skill.
"However, just a mere Garchomp, Pikachu, take care of it!"
"Dragon Claw!!!"
"Dragon Claw?!"
Although Xiao Bai had gained a deep understanding of Ye Feng's red-striped Pikachu in previous matches, he was still stunned.
This Pikachu, which was clearly an Electric-type, could use Water-type moves, and now it could even use the Dragon-type move Dragon Claw?!
"In that case, Garchomp! You use Dragon Claw too!!!"
Upon hearing the command, Garchomp's two pointed fins transformed into two blue dragon claws, and it dove towards Pikachu.
Pikachu's two small hands simultaneously transformed into two yellow dragon claws.
Dragon Claw against Dragon Claw.
The clash produced a violent explosion in the air.
When the explosion subsided, everyone eagerly looked on.
Pikachu stood its ground, unmoving. In contrast, Garchomp struggled to get up from the ground.
"This?"
Xiao Bai narrowed his eyes.
He then commanded, "Garchomp! Hyper Beam!"
"In that case, we will too! Pikachu! Hyper Beam!"
*Boom!*
Both Pikachu and Garchomp were accumulating a terrifying amount of energy in their mouths. The next moment, two beams of energy erupted and fiercely collided in the air.
"Garchomp! Go!"
Xiao Bai continuously cheered on Garchomp.
However, in the beam struggle, Garchomp was at a disadvantage from the start. The beam struggle lasted less than ten seconds before Pikachu's Hyper Beam completely engulfed Garchomp.
"Aaaahhhh!!!"
Garchomp let out a piteous cry and then staggered, falling to the ground.
The red-striped Pikachu seized the opportunity, intending to advance and play a game of cat and mouse with Garchomp, thereby forcing Xiao Bai to surrender prematurely.
But Xiao Bai was not like the previous weaklings.
He knew what this red-striped Pikachu was trying to do.
He immediately pulled out a Poké Ball and recalled Garchomp.
The red-striped Pikachu lunged at empty air.
In the first round, Xiao Bai had already lost Garchomp.
Ye Feng looked at Xiao Bai, "If I'm not mistaken, that Garchomp was your ace, wasn't it?!"
Xiao Bai looked at Ye Feng warily.
Suddenly, he clutched his stomach and burst into laughter.
"Ye Feng, you underestimate me too much!"
"This one is my true ace! Next! I'll make you cry!!!"
"Come out! Aerodactyl!!!"
A ferocious Dragon-type Pokémon immediately appeared on the field. Its terrifying appearance sent shivers down everyone's spines.
"You have a second pseudo-legendary?"
Ye Feng was indeed surprised. He truly hadn't expected this Xiao Bai to have such prowess. With two pseudo-legendaries, it was no wonder he could contend with Daigo.
"Alright, Ye Feng, next, I will make you experience pain!!!"
Xiao Bai pointed at Ye Feng, a defiant smile on his face. Just as everyone expected him to unleash his full power and engage in a fierce battle with Ye Feng, Xiao Bai suddenly leaped onto Aerodactyl, sat on its back, patted its rear, and said, "Aerodactyl! Let's go!"
With that, before everyone's eyes, Xiao Bai abandoned the match and simply ran away!!!
Not only the people present, but even Ye Feng was stunned.
What was going on?
He said he would make him feel pain, but then he just ran off?
No one understood, except Xiao Bai himself.
He and Ye Feng were not on the same level. Although he was powerful with two pseudo-legendaries, Garchomp was his ace. Aerodactyl had only recently evolved and was far from its peak. Garchomp had been defeated so easily and was almost incapacitated. Was he foolish enough to continue playing with Ye Feng? To humiliate himself? To have all his Pokémon defeated?! He who lives to fight another day can always find more firewood. As for the million dollars given by that ugly woman, he would return it immediately! He couldn't take on this job!!!
Xiao Bai's withdrawal was something no one had anticipated. He was scared away! This had never happened since the Indigo Plateau Conference began. However, this also meant that Ye Feng had become the champion of the conference!
On the champions' podium, after Damalanche presented the awards to the third-place Bush and the runner-up Lily, as he was about to hand the golden trophy to Ye Feng, Ye Feng directly refused.
"Wait a moment."
"I want to challenge the Elite Four."
Hearing this request, Damalanche smiled. "Young man, challenging the Elite Four is a series of consecutive battles, four in total. You get thirty minutes of rest between each match to recover your Pokémon. Are you sure you want to challenge them now?!"
"I'm sure!"
Ye Feng was very firm. He then walked to the enormous battle stage and quietly awaited everyone.
None of them had expected Ye Feng to challenge the Elite Four so soon. However, currently, only the Ice-type Elite Four Lorelei was present. The other three would need time to arrive. They would have to wait another half an hour.
At this moment, Lorelei descended from the stage and faced Ye Feng. She was the first Elite Four, and only by defeating her could he proceed to the next. She was also somewhat surprised, especially noticing that Ye Feng had recalled the red-striped Pikachu into its Poké Ball and brought out his second Pokémon, which he had never used before.
Now, on the eve of the Elite Four battle, not only Lorelei but everyone else was curious about Ye Feng's second Pokémon. What made him so arrogant that he believed he could defeat an Elite Four with just one Pokémon? However, they would soon find out. Lorelei also noticed Ye Feng's gaze constantly wandering over her.
"Another pervert."
Lorelei was accustomed to such gazes.
Half an hour later, the other three Elite Four from Kanto arrived gracefully. The three stood on the main platform, saying nothing.
Now, the Elite Four battle would commence!
"Come out! Jynx!!!"
Lorelei, being the Ice-type Elite Four, started with Jynx. Why were they called Elite Four? It was because the Pokémon they trained were far stronger than those of the same type, and their strategies were also formidable. It was like the difference between Giovanni's Beedrill and a regular Beedrill. After all, this was reality, not a game. Cold data was always the same, but miracles could happen here. Effort was rewarded.
Upon seeing Jynx, Ye Feng also threw out his Poké Ball.
"I choose you!"
"The biological brother of Rayquaza!"
"Dugtrio!!!!"
