Avril's cry made Empoleon quickly regain consciousness, but Milotic's Hyper Beam had already struck Empoleon.
Even though Empoleon regained consciousness quickly, that tiny window of opportunity was still seized by Milotic.
"Water Pulse."
Just now, the attack knocked Empoleon into the water. When Empoleon just poked its head out, it was hit by Water Pulse and knocked back into the water.
"Empoleon, attack Milotic from underwater."
Avril immediately changed tactics.
She didn't want to appear too weak in front of Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was very calm and did not instruct Milotic to move. Just as Empoleon was about to approach Milotic from under the water, Milotic flicked its tail.
A Dragon Tail strike sent Empoleon flying out of the water.
After knocking Empoleon into the air, Milotic immediately used Water Gun, striking Empoleon.
Empoleon was sent flying. Fortunately, Pokémon battles do not have a rule that counts it as a loss if a Pokémon is knocked out of the arena. Otherwise, Empoleon would have lost by now.
"If I were to use Surf, wouldn't it destroy everything here?"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Even with defensive measures around, Milotic's strength, if using Surf, could potentially destroy the surrounding arena, and even have some impact on the audience seats.
"Forget it, don't use Surf. Milotic, continue using Hyper Beam."
Using a Water-type move to attack a Water-type Pokémon is not very effective. Although Milotic's forte is still Water-type moves, it is not as good as other types of moves when used against Empoleon.
"Mud Shot."
After Hyper Beam hit Empoleon, Mud Shot continuously struck Empoleon. Empoleon quickly couldn't withstand it and lost its battle capability.
The battle lasted less than a minute. Avril's Empoleon, a Tier 1 Heavenly King, lost its battle capability.
"So powerful."
Avril looked at Jiang Chen.
She had watched all of Jiang Chen's battles, but watching Jiang Chen's battles and actually battling Jiang Chen were different. Only by truly fighting Jiang Chen could she experience that sense of oppression.
It was not only Jiang Chen's powerful Pokémon, but also Jiang Chen, the trainer.
"But this is too merciless."
Thinking of how cleanly and decisively she was defeated, Avril wanted to complain. Jiang Chen really didn't give her, a beauty, any face.
In the past, when she fought others, men would usually give her some face and hold back, but Jiang Chen had completely defeated Avril with no mercy.
"I'm sorry, Milotic was a bit heavy-handed." Jiang Chen apologized to Avril.
"It's okay, after all, this is a battle. It's better to go all out."
Avril smiled charmingly at Jiang Chen, a smile that stirred one's soul.
"Then since you, beauty, said to go all out, it seems I must go all out. Only then can I show my respect for you."
This line immediately made Avril's heart feel stifled. 'I'd rather you didn't respect me.'
"Beautiful, Milotic's performance was too beautiful. I gave this Milotic to Jiang Chen." Xiao Luoxue watched Milotic's performance, giggling on her face.
She had originally given two feebas to Jiang Chen, and one of them became Milotic.
Now, Milotic's merciless defeat of Avril's Empoleon made her feel very comfortable.
"As expected of the most beautiful Pokémon, Empoleon is no match at all."
The commentator was a fan of Milotic, so naturally, he hyped Milotic wildly. Although this was somewhat unfair, he didn't care at this moment.
Besides, Milotic won, is there anything wrong with praising the strong?
"I knew Empoleon was no match for Milotic."
"What did you say? When did Empoleon become a Magikarp? Don't tell me you want your eyes gouged out?"
"Compared to Milotic, can Empoleon even compete?"
"Why can't it compete? My Empoleon is very handsome, and it's cuter than Milotic."
"But your favored Empoleon lost. Milotic is the strongest."
"Brother, you really supported Empoleon for this guy. This guy supported Avril, he doesn't even look at himself, yet he wants a toad to eat swan meat."
"..."
The audience in the stands were very agitated today. Just now, they almost started fighting directly. Fortunately, security personnel stepped in to stop them.
"Please release your Pokémon."
The referee saw that Avril hadn't released her Pokémon yet and reminded her.
"Sorry."
Avril quickly released her Pokémon, Hydreigon.
Jiang Chen had seen Avril's data before, so he wasn't surprised when he saw Hydreigon.
"Hydreigon, it will definitely defeat that hateful Milotic."
"Hydreigon will win."
"The goddess even has a pseudo-god. What will Jiang Chen win with?"
A group of Avril's fans began to cheer, not knowing that they thought Avril had already defeated Jiang Chen.
These people were all fans of Avril's good looks.
"Hehe, a bunch of lunatics. With just this Hydreigon, does he deserve to defeat Milotic?"
"From now on, Jiang Chen is my male god. Avril's little brat still wants to defeat my male god."
"Everyone who has watched the competition knows how big the gap in strength is between my husband and Avril. And she still wants to defeat my husband. Isn't this just dreaming?"
"That's my husband, watch your language."
"You're a man, for crying out loud."
"A male fan next to me, terrifying."
"..."
"Hydreigon, use Tri Attack."
Three rays of light attacked Milotic with lightning speed.
"Use Mystic Guard."
Upon seeing the attack, Jiang Chen immediately had Milotic use Mystic Guard. With Mystic Guard, Milotic would not fall into an abnormal status.
The most disgusting thing about Tri Attack is not how strong the attack is, but that it can leave the opponent in a burn, freeze, or paralysis status.
Any of them would be detrimental to Milotic.
Mystic Guard prevents abnormal statuses. Milotic still took the damage it was supposed to take.
"Continue attacking. Hydreigon, use Dragon Pulse."
"Dive underwater to dodge."
Jiang Chen immediately issued the command. The water surface exploded directly. Fortunately, this water field was very large, otherwise, it might have been completely destroyed by one of Hydreigon's attacks.
When Milotic came up, Jiang Chen immediately had Milotic use Aqua Ring to begin recovering itself.
"Continue attacking with Dragon Pulse."
Last time, Milotic dodged by hiding underwater, but this time Milotic couldn't dodge the opponent's attack. Dragon Pulse directly hit its body.
"Use Recover."
Aqua Ring continuously restored Milotic's injuries, and then with Recover, Milotic's injuries quickly fully recovered.
With Milotic's excellent special defense and decent defense, it directly became a meat shield.
It wouldn't die. Next, Milotic would tank the attacks and wouldn't fall. Hydreigon's attacks were not weak, especially Hydreigon's special attacks. Among the pseudo-gods, Hydreigon's special attacks were the most outstanding.
But even if Hydreigon continuously used Hyper Beam on Milotic, Milotic would still stand firm.
"This is the first time I've seen such a resilient Milotic."
Avril was speechless. Her Hydreigon was almost exhausted, but Jiang Chen's Milotic was still perfectly fine.
It wasn't that its defense was too strong; the main reason was its incredibly powerful recovery ability.
Especially after Milotic used Life Dew, this move also restored its own abilities, and it was a group recovery, capable of restoring its own injuries and its teammates' injuries.
Now, without teammates, it could still simply restore its own injuries.
"Now, Milotic, use Hyper Beam."
Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. While playing defense, he was also looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
Just now, facing Hydreigon's wild bombardment, it was difficult to counterattack. Now, seizing the moment when Hydreigon was briefly disoriented, he began to counterattack.
"Careful."
Avril had just spoken when she saw Milotic's Hyper Beam directly hit its target.
Hydreigon let out a tragic cry, then fell from the sky.
It was shot down by Milotic's Hyper Beam.
"Continue attacking, use Water Gun."
Attacking with its strongest attribute move was more powerful and consumed less energy.
Water Gun once again sent Hydreigon flying. Milotic had gained the upper hand from its previous disadvantage.
