Jiang Chen smiled and looked at Qin Xiao.

"You think I'm bullying you, don't you? Well, I can't help it, your strength only allows me to bully you."

"I remember you just said I was nothing special, but it turns out you can't even beat someone like me who's nothing special."

Jiang Chen's blunt taunt made Qin Xiao furious.

"Trainer, please send out your next Pokémon."

The referee reminded Qin Xiao, who was about to lose his temper.

"Just wait, see how I defeat your arrogant Garchomp."

Qin Xiao released another Pokémon, a Machamp appeared on the battle arena. This Machamp was full of muscles, and exuded an oppressive aura at first glance.

Unfortunately, Garchomp's gaze towards Machamp was still disdainful, as if it didn't consider Machamp an opponent.

"Machamp, give it a taste of its own medicine—use Brick Break."

It was this attitude that made him furious. Wasn't it just a pseudo-legendary? How dare it look down on him?

Machamp, with its four arms, rushed over and used Brick Break on Garchomp.

Actually, Garchomp could have dodged. Machamp looked strong, but its speed couldn't compare to Garchomp's.

However, facing Machamp's attack, Garchomp did not dodge.

It deliberately took Machamp's hit, its body unmoving, its eyes still arrogant, as if telling Machamp, Even if I stand here and let you hit me, you can't move me.

"Your Machamp, it seems unable to break through my defense."

Jiang Chen yawned, looking bored.

"Actually, I want an evenly matched opponent, preferably one who can energize me. Fighting you really doesn't energize me."

Qin Xiao clenched his fists tightly. Too much, this guy Jiang Chen is really too much.

"Machamp, continue attacking."

He refused to believe that continuous attacks wouldn't even break through this Garchomp's defense.

However, Garchomp wouldn't foolishly stand there letting Machamp attack. It retaliated with a Dragon Claw, sending Machamp flying, then followed up with a Hyper Beam.

"Machamp is unable to battle."

The referee took a glance and confirmed that Machamp had lost its ability to battle. He quietly looked at Garchomp and took a deep breath. This Garchomp was too strong.

This Garchomp was completely on a different level from other people's Pokémon.

"You have one Pokémon left."

"I don't need you to remind me."

Qin Xiao glared fiercely at Jiang Chen, sweat beading on his forehead.

It wasn't very hot here; the sweat was mainly due to his anxiety, he was about to be swept by one Pokémon.

Although he still had one Pokémon left, Qin Xiao truly had no confidence in defeating this Garchomp. Is a pseudo-legendary really that powerful? I must also obtain a pseudo-legendary.

"Go, Magmar."

Qin Xiao sent out his last Pokémon, Magmar.

The moment it appeared, Qin Xiao immediately had Magmar use Fire Spin, attacking Garchomp.

It rushed forward quickly, but it was sent flying back even faster. Before it could even get close to Garchomp, it was blasted away by a Dragon Pulse.

Garchomp proudly raised its head. This expression, even if Jiang Chen, its owner, saw it, he would probably want to hit it, let alone Qin Xiao.

That disdainful look, that feeling of humiliation, made Qin Xiao so angry he wanted to punch Garchomp in the face.

However, if he actually punched Garchomp, the one who would get hurt would probably still be him.

"Magmar, stand up! You must defeat it!"

Qin Xiao shouted loudly at Magmar.

It seemed this guy also possessed the miraculous ability of Rejuvenating Roar. Magmar struggled to its feet, its somewhat indifferent eyes turning sharp.

Defeating Jiang Chen's other Pokémon, Qin Xiao temporarily didn't think about that.

But this Garchomp, he absolutely had to defeat it, because this Garchomp was simply too infuriating.

He roared, wanting to defeat Garchomp, but Magmar truly didn't have the strength.

Seeing Magmar stand up, Garchomp's eyes showed a hint of dissatisfaction. According to its estimation, it could have instantly defeated this Magmar with one move.

No problem, at most, another finishing blow. A Dragon Breath shot towards the struggling Magmar.

In the blink of an eye, Magmar, who had just gotten up, fell to the ground, losing its ability to battle.

"Magmar is unable to battle. Trainer Jiang Chen wins this match and successfully advances to the top 32."

The referee announced after confirming that Magmar had lost its ability to battle.

In the audience, those who supported Jiang Chen cheered loudly, as did those who had been defeated and humiliated by Qin Xiao.

Losing wasn't scary; losing and then being humiliated by your opponent, that was the most shameful.

Qin Xiao had done this before, so they were all displeased with him. Now, seeing Qin Xiao experience the same taste, they were incredibly thrilled.

"Now, do you still dare to say I'm nothing special?"

Jiang Chen looked at Qin Xiao.

"Don't get too smug. I only lost to you once. If there's a next time, I'll make you lose very badly."

Qin Xiao's face still showed reluctance.

Seeing that Qin Xiao was still unconvinced, Jiang Chen ignored him. Anyway, he had completed the task given to him by Principal Qin.

A complete stomp, coupled with mockery, Jiang Chen felt he had been quite ruthless.

If this guy still couldn't understand that there was always someone better, then he was truly clueless.

Qin Xiao shouted loudly at the departing Jiang Chen: "I'll challenge you again!"

"I don't accept your challenge. Not everyone can challenge me. Talk to me again when you're qualified."

Jiang Chen left a sentence without looking back.

"This guy is too arrogant."

Qin Xiao felt somewhat irritated.

However, he was completely unaware that he himself was actually more arrogant than Jiang Chen. If it were purely about arrogance, Jiang Chen couldn't compare to him.

"Principal Qin, was I too much?"

When Jiang Chen came out, he happened to meet Principal Qin, who had just walked out of the spectator stands.

"This kid definitely needs a good beating."

Qin Deming smiled, completely unfazed by Jiang Chen's crushing victory over Qin Xiao earlier.

He hoped that after this crushing defeat, Qin Xiao would change. It would be best if he wasn't so arrogant and didn't think no one was his match.

Qin Deming certainly didn't want his grandson to become someone who didn't know his place.

"As long as you don't blame me."

Jiang Chen really didn't hold back just now.

"Qin Xiao had never been defeated by peers and gradually developed an arrogant personality. This crushing defeat is also a good thing for him. I hope he can change." Qin Deming hoped Qin Xiao could change his personality. A crushing defeat was also a good thing. If he couldn't even accept one crushing defeat, he wouldn't go far in the future.

After chatting with the principal for a few words, Jiang Chen left.

After his own battle ended, Jiang Chen took some time to watch Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue's matches.

Their opponents now were clearly not weak, but fortunately, Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue were also strong enough to easily secure victories.

After today's matches, a total of thirty-two new trainers remained.

"Next, every battle will be a tough one."

Ling Wanqiu's expression was serious.

"That's for us, not for him," Xiao Luoxue said, glancing at Jiang Chen.

Although Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue weren't harmonious, Ling Wanqiu agreed with Xiao Luoxue's words. Indeed, there was no one who could threaten Jiang Chen right now.

In short, whoever encountered Jiang Chen next would be unlucky.

Neither of them wanted to encounter Jiang Chen too early.

However, with fewer people remaining, luck was unpredictable, and their chances of encountering Jiang Chen were not small.

"Life is as lonely as snow. I truly can't find an opponent."

Facing the gazes of the two girls, Jiang Chen sighed with emotion.

"He's even putting on an act now," Ling Wanqiu couldn't help but retort, looking at Jiang Chen, who looked like a lonely master.

But he was indeed qualified to act.

The next day, the top 32 to top 16 matches began. After drawing their opponents, Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue were not unlucky enough to encounter Jiang Chen at this time.

Jiang Chen's opponent was named Xu Song, who looked very cautious when facing Jiang Chen.

He had collected a lot of information about Jiang Chen, but the more information he collected, the less confident he felt when facing Jiang Chen.

"He has too many powerful Pokémon. I just hope I don't lose too badly."

Xu Song thought to himself.

Even before the battle began, Xu Song had no expectation of winning.

He only had one hope: not to lose too badly.

"Both trainers are in position. Please release your Pokémon."

The referee announced.

"Go, Charmeleon."

"Empoleon, go."

Jiang Chen and Xu Song released their Pokémon simultaneously. When Xu Song saw Jiang Chen's Charmeleon, he finally relaxed a sigh of relief.

"Great, at least I have the type advantage. Even if I lose this time, I shouldn't lose too badly."

His Empoleon against Charmeleon was a huge advantage.

"Empoleon, use Hydro Pump directly on Charmeleon."

"Charmeleon, use Flamethrower."

Jiang Chen didn't have Charmeleon dodge, but instead used Flamethrower to clash head-on with Empoleon's Hydro Pump.

Water type resists Fire type, but if the fire's temperature is high enough, it can also evaporate water.

Although Empoleon had undergone its second stage evolution, in terms of strength, it was still not as powerful as Charmeleon.

"What, Hydro Pump and Flamethrower are in a stalemate."

The clash of fire and water. A large amount of steam diffused from the battle arena, obscuring Xu Song's vision.

"Charmeleon, charge in and use Mega Kick."

After Jiang Chen's command was given, Charmeleon quickly stopped using Flamethrower, then sidestepped to avoid the continuous Hydro Pump attack, swiftly rushing towards Empoleon.

Charmeleon's speed was very fast. In an instant, it arrived in front of Empoleon, then delivered a heavy kick towards Empoleon's head.

By the time Empoleon realized the attack was coming, it was already too late. Empoleon watched helplessly as Charmeleon landed a heavy kick on its head.

"Bang?!"

Empoleon was kicked flying.

"Use Flare Blitz."

Jiang Chen wouldn't give his opponent a chance to breathe. He seized the opportunity and relentlessly pursued with attacks.

Engulfed in flames, Charizard crashed into Empoleon like a volcano, instantly causing Empoleon to lose its ability to battle.

"This?"

Xu Song's expression was a little blank.

His Pokémon had a type advantage, yet in the blink of an eye, it was defeated.

"Roar!!!"

Charmeleon, who had defeated Empoleon, let out a roar, then its body transformed dramatically. In a flash of evolutionary light, it evolved from Charmeleon into Charizard.

[Charizard]

Gender: Male

Strength: Quasi-Elite Tier 1

Talent Potential: Champion

Type: Fire

Ability: Blaze

Moves: Heat Wave, Dragon Claw, Air Slash, Flamethrower, Fire Spin, Inferno, Hyper Beam, Flare Blitz

After evolving from Charmeleon into the majestic and powerful Charizard, its mood was somewhat ecstatic. The flames on its tail burned brightly, and it continuously spewed fire from its mouth.

Charmeleon evolving into Charizard was also an unexpected pleasant surprise for Jiang Chen.

He originally planned to have Slaking make an appearance, but since Charmeleon had evolved into Charizard, Jiang Chen decided to give Charizard a chance to perform.

"Trainer Xu Song, please send out your next Pokémon."

The referee reminded Xu Song.

After being reminded, Xu Song then recalled Empoleon, and sent out his next Pokémon, a Nidoking.

"Charizard, use Air Slash."

As soon as Nidoking appeared on the field, Air Slash came slashing towards it.

"Use Protect."

Xu Song knew Jiang Chen's style. If he didn't block, he would face Jiang Chen's relentless attacks and wouldn't even have the strength to resist.

He had just used Protect to block Air Slash when he saw a Fire Spin sweep over, trapping Nidoking.

"Nidoking, break out!" Xu Song shouted anxiously.

"Break out? Then I'll send you off."

Jiang Chen commanded Charizard to release Flamethrower, hitting Nidoking. This Elite Tier 8 Nidoking instantly lost its ability to battle.

Seeing Jiang Chen dispose of Nidoking so cleanly, Xu Song's face showed bitterness.

He had originally thought he wouldn't lose so badly, but in the blink of an eye, two of his Pokémon had lost their ability to battle.

And Xu Song knew very well that his last Pokémon was also no match for Jiang Chen's Charizard.

"Nidoking is unable to battle. Trainer Xu Song, please send out your next Pokémon."

The referee looked at Xu Song and announced.

"It's all up to you, Steelix."

Xu Song sent out his last Pokémon.

Steelix faced Charizard, its type actually being disadvantaged, even heavily disadvantaged. But there was nothing he could do; among his remaining Pokémon, Steelix was the strongest.

Currently, Xu Song could only gamble on a dream.

"If I can defeat one of Jiang Chen's Pokémon, even if I lose, it won't look too bad. But defeating this Charizard is too difficult."

Xu Song glanced at the Charizard flying in the air.

If it hadn't evolved, and was still a Charmeleon, Xu Song felt he might have had some chance.

Now, Xu Song felt his chances were slim.

"Although Steelix's physical defense is very high, its special defense is too low."

Jiang Chen glanced at Steelix. Steelix's weaknesses were too obvious. Its large size meant slow speed. Facing a Charizard flying in the air, it was practically a target.

"Charizard, use Flamethrower."

Facing the incoming Flamethrower, Xu Song could only brace himself and have Steelix use Dig, burrowing underground. However, upon seeing the smile on Jiang Chen's face, Xu Song knew something was amiss.

"Charizard, use Earthquake."

Earthquake, when used against Pokémon in the Dig state, doubles in power, making it a move specifically designed to counter Dig.

Steelix, who had just dug underground, painfully crawled out of the hole it had dug.
