The Chapter get Retranslated
Lin Taichu refused to give up, insisting that the two Pokémon must decide a winner. Jiang Yuan frowned but said nothing.
Since they wanted to keep fighting, they might as well fight to the end.
The reason he suggested a draw was simply that continuing the battle would most likely result in both sides being heavily injured, which wouldn't serve much purpose.
"Flygon, use Dragon Rush with full power!"
Instantly, Flygon's aura erupted, and a terrifying murderous intent locked onto Druddigon. The power of the Dragon-type Origin continuously vibrated the air, and the ground seemed to tremble.
"You want to decide the winner in one move with me?"
Lin Taichu's expression changed slightly. Fortunately, his Druddigon reacted well, using its immense strength to break free from the deterrent of the murderous aura in the face of Flygon's full-power Dragon Rush.
Then, Druddigon used Giga Impact, clashing head-on with Flygon.
This move couldn't be dodged, and Protect had already been used, so using it again would have a low success rate. A head-on clash with Flygon was the best option.
"Instead of dragging it out, it's better to decide the winner with one direct move," Jiang Yuan said with a calm expression.
This Champion Challenge assessment, fighting against Lin Taichu, was actually the best outcome for him because Lin Taichu's strength was considered to be at the bottom among the four Champions.
"Boom!!!"
As if an earthquake had occurred, Ning Ya, who was next to Jiang Chen, almost fell, but Jiang Chen reached out and hugged her.
"Thank you, Young Master."
Ning Ya leaned into Jiang Chen's arms, her face slightly flushed.
"Why be so polite with me?"
Jiang Chen's attention was focused on the outcome of Flygon and Druddigon's battle and he didn't notice Ning Ya's red face.
"Both are heavily injured, and both Pokémon have lost their ability to battle."
From the moment of their collision, Gu Tong could analyze that the final result would be both sides being heavily injured, and the outcome did not surprise him.
"Just this battle alone is enough for Jiang Yuan to become a Champion. From now on, our country will have five Champions."
Gu Tong looked pleased.
Although both Pokémon were incapacitated in the double knockout, in the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Yuan had done very well, as this was a case of overcoming the strong with the weak.
The assessment panel also nodded. They all knew that Jiang Yuan's strongest Pokémon was Dragonite, and he had achieved such a record without even sending out Dragonite, which was enough to qualify him for the Champion position.
Among everyone present, Lin Taichu's expression was the worst.
Flygon and Druddigon fighting to a draw was embarrassing for him; he had been outmatched by a junior.
The battle continued. After recalling Druddigon, Lin Taichu sent out his next Pokémon, Pidgeot.
"What a magnificent Pidgeot."
Upon seeing this Pidgeot's splendor, Jiang Chen was also surprised. Its sharp eyes made people dare not meet its gaze, its feathers were lustrous, but most importantly, it was huge.
This Pidgeot's body size was far beyond that of an ordinary Pidgeot.
Standing there, it was almost three meters tall, nearly twice the size of a regular Pidgeot. If it spread its wings and flew, wouldn't it be as big as a small helicopter?
Jiang Chen's father also had a Pidgeot, which was also very powerful and used to be his father's main force. However, compared to this Pidgeot, there was a significant gap.
That was normal, that Pidgeot was only a Ninth-tier Elite Four, while this Pidgeot, which Jiang Chen had just finished examining, was a Fourth-tier Champion, even stronger than the Druddigon before it.
"Now it won't be so easy for Dad to win."
Flygon, Slowbro, and Salamence had all been helped by Jiang Chen to break through to Champion level, and they were currently all First-tier Champions.
Although their combat power was formidable, they couldn't possibly defeat a Fourth-tier Champion by overcoming several ranks.
"Grandpa Gu, how many Champion-level Pokémon does Lin Taichu have in total?" Jiang Chen asked Gu Tong.
"He only has three in total, but the remaining Tyranitar is even harder to deal with."
Hearing this news, Jiang Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief. Fortunately, he only had three Champion-level Pokémon.
As long as they could defeat this Pidgeot, it would be manageable. The premise was to defeat this Pidgeot, ideally without using Dragonite. Dragonite was his father's strongest Pokémon, a trump card.
If the trump card was revealed too early, they would lose.
"Your father is amazing, he has five Champion-level Pokémon. Flygon and Salamence, although still weak now, will definitely grow stronger in the future."
To be honest, Gu Tong even envied Jiang Yuan. He only had four Champion-level Pokémon in total. In the future, Jiang Yuan would definitely surpass him.
However, as Jiang Yuan's teacher, Gu Tong also hoped to see Jiang Yuan surpass him.
"Slowbro, go!"
Facing this Pidgeot, Jiang Yuan sent out Slowbro.
Slowbro's expression was dull, just like before, looking like a "Big Brain."
However, don't let Slowbro's dull expression fool you into thinking it's easy to bully. In reality, Slowbro was now "wise appearing foolish." Having reached Champion level, how could it not have changed?
In fact, Slowbro's changes were significant. The current Slowbro was not as foolish-looking as it appeared on the surface.
The moment Slowbro appeared, Pidgeot immediately used Air Slash.
Facing the sharp Air Slash, Slowbro instantly disappeared, reacting without any delay. The Teleport move was indeed very useful.
Avoiding Pidgeot's attack, Pidgeot's Air Slash landed on the ground, instantly cutting a crack several thousand meters long.
Failing in one attack, Pidgeot quickly changed its move, using Aerial Ace to attack Slowbro.
Slowbro would not passively counterattack. Jiang Yuan was not a passive defender; he advocated offense, so he trained Slowbro to attack proactively.
Raising its small hand, terrifying Mental Power surged. At this moment, time and space seemed to be frozen, and Pidgeot's body was directly restrained.
"What powerful Psychic! This Slowbro is stronger than the Flygon just now."
Gu Tong exclaimed from a distance.
"It is indeed stronger than Flygon." Jiang Chen nodded. Slowbro's ability to reach Champion level was thanks to Jiang Chen's Psychic Mystic Plate.
It had broken through to Champion level earlier than Flygon.
And it had followed Jiang Chen for longer, accumulating much more experience than Flygon.
Azure-blue power continuously converged towards Pidgeot. Wind Blades constantly surged around Pidgeot, and Jiang Chen squinted as he watched.
"Is this the power of the Flying-type Origin?"
Champions must master Origin Power to reach the Champion level.
In fact, Pokémon start to touch upon Origin Power from the Elite Four level, but at the Elite Four level, it's merely a touch, using only a small part of it. They can only gradually master it upon reaching the Champion level.
Facing Pidgeot, who was using its Origin Power, Slowbro was not to be outdone. Its eyes turned white, and the Origin Power of the Psychic-type was used to its extreme.
Not only the Psychic-type Origin Power but also the Water-type Origin Power surged. At this moment, it was as if ocean waves were surging around Slowbro.
"Mastered both Origin Powers, this Slowbro is incredible!"
Gu Tong looked at Slowbro in shock.
Generally, even Pokémon with dual types would only master one type of Origin Power. Very few master two types of Origin Power.
This was mainly due to a lack of energy, but it couldn't be denied that mastering two types of Origin Power was indeed powerful.
"This must be the effect of the Blue Orb on Slowbro."
Jiang Chen muttered to himself.
Relying on the boost from both Origin Powers, Slowbro, despite being weaker than Pidgeot, was able to fight Pidgeot to a stalemate.
Jiang Yuan's smile grew wider, while Lin Taichu's face looked worse and worse.
After the previous double knockout, his Druddigon had already lost. If he couldn't deal with this Slowbro this time, he would lose all face.
Even if Jiang Yuan became a Champion, he couldn't stop it, but he couldn't let Jiang Yuan step on his face to become a Champion.
The battle went back and forth, still in a stalemate, and the time dragged on longer and longer.
"Slowbro is so amazing!"
Ning Ya looked at Slowbro in surprise. To be honest, she had taken care of Slowbro for so long, and she never expected Slowbro to perform so well in battle.
"Who would have thought, Slowbro won."
The battle wasn't over yet, but Gu Tong could already confirm that Slowbro would win this fight.
The move Heal Pulse showed its power. In reality, this move could heal itself. By continuously healing, Slowbro managed to wear down Pidgeot and win.
Facing powerful attacks, Slowbro would use Teleport to dodge. If it was hit, it would use Heal Pulse to recover.
It also occasionally used Water Gun, Psychic, and other moves against Pidgeot. The battle dragged on for an hour, directly exhausting Pidgeot's stamina.
Hail fell from the sky, and Pidgeot lay on the ground. Slowbro was also not in good shape, mainly due to severe stamina consumption.
The hail weather was created by Slowbro, and it also played a significant role in defeating Pidgeot.
"It looks like Dad is going to step on Senior's face and become a Champion."
Jiang Chen smiled.
Perhaps because of Lin Hao and Lin Yuefeng, Jiang Chen didn't have a good impression of Lin Taichu, and this time, he deliberately made things difficult for his father.
Being able to become a Champion by stepping on his face was naturally a good thing.
"Although he defeated two of his Champion-level Pokémon, winning the overall victory won't be that simple," Gu Tong said with a serious expression.
Lin Taichu's Tyranitar would not be easy to deal with.
Indeed, when Tyranitar came out, Jiang Chen used his Probe Eye to look at Tyranitar's data. Good heavens, a Seventh-tier Champion Tyranitar, only slightly weaker than Gu Tong's Salamence next to it.
"But you don't have to worry, it's not impossible to win."
Gu Tong felt that winning was not out of the question. It would depend on Jiang Yuan and his Pokémon's performance next.
Facing Tyranitar, Slowbro, whose stamina was almost depleted, tried its best to wear down Tyranitar but was eventually defeated and lost its ability to battle.
"Salamence, go!"
Jiang Yuan sent out Salamence. Salamence was indeed not a match for this Tyranitar, and the gap was quite large. It only managed to hold on for five minutes before being defeated by Tyranitar.
"—You've reached your limit." Lin Taichu said faintly.
"Then Champion Lin, be careful not to crash and burn."
Jiang Yuan would not give up. This battle used six Pokémon, but he only needed to defeat this Tyranitar to win.
Aside from Tyranitar, Lin Taichu's other Pokémon were all Ninth-tier Elite Four, and they couldn't possibly fight against Champion-level Pokémon.
This time, Jiang Yuan sent out Charizard. Charizard was also Champion-level, and a Second-tier Champion at that.
Its strength was certainly not a match for Tyranitar, and Jiang Yuan didn't expect Charizard to defeat Tyranitar. He only hoped Charizard could wear down Tyranitar and give Dragonite a chance to defeat it.
Sand and stones flew everywhere. The Sandstorm raised by Tyranitar continuously affected Charizard. Although it wouldn't cause too much damage, it created constant small troubles.
"Charizard, first make Tyranitar fall into the burned status."
Jiang Yuan gave the order, and Charizard understood what to do. It accurately found Tyranitar's position in the Sandstorm and then charged towards Tyranitar.
After approaching Tyranitar, it directly released Will-O-Wisp.
This move caused little damage but could inflict the burned status on the opponent.
However, this came at a cost. Charizard also took a hit from Tyranitar, and this single blow caused Charizard serious injuries.
"Just keep stalling."
Next, Jiang Yuan only asked Charizard to keep resisting and stall for time. The longer it stalled, the more advantageous it would be for Jiang Yuan.
Lin Taichu was not foolish; he also understood the situation and kept Tyranitar actively attacking.
However, Tyranitar's slow speed was a weakness. Facing Charizard flying in the air, it was indeed difficult to deal with. It used Rock Tomb, but Charizard broke through it by enduring the damage.
Using Hyper Beam also made it difficult to hit Charizard.
"Continuously releasing Hyper Beam, it's truly terrifying."
Jiang Chen saw that Tyranitar released Hyper Beam without any pause, and the stiffness caused by Hyper Beam had no effect on this Tyranitar.
Moreover, its power was immense. A mountain several kilometers away was directly pierced through by the Hyper Beam.
"It seems it can't hold on much longer, so use Overheat."
It wasn't possible to be so lucky every time. Eventually, it would get hit, and one hit would be enough for Charizard to fall.
Jiang Yuan could only instruct Charizard to use Overheat as its final move, causing as much damage as possible to Tyranitar before losing its ability to battle.
Then Jiang Yuan sent out his ace, Dragonite. The moment Dragonite appeared, it used Dragon Rush towards Tyranitar, releasing its Dragon-type Origin at full power.
Moreover, Dragonite also mastered both Dragon-type and Flying-type Origin Powers, and its bursting combat power was even stronger.
Dragon Rush, Mega Punch, Hyper Beam, Giga Impact. A series of attacks landed on Tyranitar.
Facing Dragonite's relentless assault, Tyranitar counterattacked with full force.
This time, Jiang Yuan didn't let Dragonite dodge or retreat, directly clashing with Tyranitar with full power.
Even if Tyranitar was stronger, its previous battles with Salamence and Charizard had taken a toll.
Before Salamence lost its ability to battle, it unleashed Outrage on Tyranitar, and Charizard's burned status also caused Tyranitar considerable trouble. So, by fighting through injuries and going all out, Dragonite actually won, though it was a hard-won victory. Dragonite was still standing, while Tyranitar had fallen. Lin Taichu's face was ashen.
"You win."
Although he still had three Pokémon unused, those three Pokémon couldn't possibly defeat Dragonite. Even if this Dragonite was severely injured, it could still easily finish off a Ninth-tier Elite Four Pokémon.
So, there was no need to humiliate himself further. He simply conceded the defeat.
Lin Taichu conceded, and the Champion Challenge ended. Jiang Yuan naturally became the Champion, the fifth Champion of Xia Country.
"Dad became a Champion, now he can walk with his head held high."
Jiang Chen said with a cheerful laugh.
Actually, even if his father hadn't become a Champion, he could still walk with his head held high. After all, he possessed this Divine Beast. Even a Champion who provoked him would be beaten silly.
