As Meganium appeared, the arena was instantly filled with a fresh Grass-type energy.
Grassy Terrain was unleashed instantly, and the surrounding platforms were immediately covered in green vegetation.
"Meganium, use Petal Blizzard!" Wang Sheng launched his attack without hesitation.
Meganium waved its petals, and countless petals flew towards Marshtomp like sharp blades.
However, just as Petal Blizzard was about to hit Marshtomp, Marshtomp's body suddenly glowed with dazzling white light—it was evolving!
"Marshtomp is evolving!" A chorus of exclamations immediately rose from the audience.
According to the rules of a proper battle, a Pokémon is not allowed to be attacked while evolving.
However, Wang Sheng clearly had no intention of following this rule.
He sneered and continued to command, "Meganium, keep using Petal Blizzard!"
"Wang Sheng is being so unsportsmanlike!" someone in the audience shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Exactly, exactly! This kind of foul play should get him disqualified!"
However, Jiang Mo, who was present, showed no panic at all.
He smiled slightly and whispered, "Marshtomp, take the hit!"
Just as Petal Blizzard was about to hit Marshtomp, Marshtomp's body was already completely enveloped in white light.
The Grass-type move landed on the evolving Marshtomp but caused no damage whatsoever!
"What? How is this possible!" Wang Sheng's eyes widened, watching the scene in disbelief.
"Lah-chi!"
The white light dissipated, and Marshtomp had evolved into Swampert.
Swampert stood on the water terrain, massive in size and imposing in aura, a true monster.
Its eyes revealed strong confidence, clearly ready to face the upcoming battle.
Jiang Mo's Swampert's ability is Sap Sipper, making Grass-type moves ineffective against it; in fact, they even healed it a bit.
However, Jiang Mo had no intention of revealing this information to everyone; instead, he smiled and said, "Hehehe, my Swampert's HP bar might be a bit thick, so it's quite resilient."
A collective sound of realization immediately arose from the audience.
It turned out Jiang Mo had known all along that Marshtomp's defense was strong enough, which was why he let Marshtomp endure the attack.
At this moment, Wang Sheng's face grew even uglier, but he didn't believe Swampert could still hold on after taking a 4x super effective Petal Blizzard.
"You took one hit, but I don't believe you can take a second!"
Wang Sheng gritted his teeth and commanded again, "Meganium, keep using Petal Blizzard!"
However, this time, Jiang Mo didn't give Wang Sheng another chance.
He decisively commanded, "Swampert, use Take Down, push through!"
Swampert charged fiercely towards Meganium, enduring the Petal Blizzard attack, and the immense impact directly knocked Meganium back several steps.
Immediately after, Jiang Mo commanded again, "Swampert, use Ice Punch!"
Swampert's fists condensed with icy energy, and two Ice Punches directly hit Meganium.
Although Meganium had the recovery from Grassy Terrain, under the continuous attacks of the 2x super effective Ice Punch, it eventually lost its ability to battle.
"Meganium is unable to battle! Swampert wins!" Rotom announced.
A burst of warm applause and cheers immediately erupted from the audience.
Jiang Mo's Swampert, by itself, had consecutively defeated two of Wang Sheng's Pokémon, thus achieving the feat of a 2-0 sweep!
Wang Sheng's face was ashen; he hadn't expected to be pushed to such a point by Jiang Mo.
He gritted his teeth and threw out his last Pokémon—Gliscor.
As Gliscor appeared, it spread its wings and hovered in the air, its sharp eyes fixed on Swampert.
Its pincers gleamed with cold light, clearly ready for battle.
Wang Sheng gritted his teeth, feeling a bit flustered inside, but his words remained firm: "Gliscor, use X-Scissor!"
Gliscor rapidly dove down, its pincers crossed, striking fiercely at Swampert.
However, Jiang Mo showed no panic, calmly commanding, "Swampert, use Rock Slide!"
Swampert stomped its foot fiercely, the ground instantly cracked, and several giant rocks appeared, flying towards Gliscor, the powerful shockwave directly knocking Gliscor back.
Seeing this, Wang Sheng's heart tightened, and he quickly commanded, "Gliscor, use U-turn!"
Gliscor swiftly rushed towards Swampert, and after hitting it, used the recoil to quickly create distance.
This move not only dealt considerable damage to Swampert but also allowed Gliscor to return to a safe position.
Jiang Mo frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Wang Sheng really knows how to utilize Gliscor's flexibility."
However, Jiang Mo didn't panic; he calmly commanded, "Swampert, keep using Rock Slide!"
Swampert slammed its fists into the ground, and several huge rocks rose from the ground, smashing towards Gliscor.
Although Gliscor was agile, under the dense Rock Slide attacks, it was still hit by one rock, and its body suddenly sank.
Wang Sheng's face grew even uglier.
He knew that if he continued to be on the defensive like this, Gliscor would eventually be defeated by Swampert.
He gritted his teeth, deciding to take a risk: "Gliscor, use Poison Jab!"
Gliscor's tail was instantly enveloped in purple Poison-type energy, and it swiftly rushed towards Swampert, attempting to deliver a fatal blow with Poison Jab.
Although Poison-type moves are generally not very effective against Swampert, if they could inflict a poisoned status, the situation might turn around.
However, Jiang Mo had already seen through Wang Sheng's intention. He calmly commanded, "Swampert, use Protect!"
Swampert's body was instantly enveloped by a transparent energy barrier; Gliscor's Poison Jab slammed hard against the barrier but failed to cause any damage.
Wang Sheng's face instantly turned pale.
He hadn't expected Jiang Mo's reaction to be so swift, perfectly neutralizing his offensive with Protect.
Jiang Mo seized the opportunity and decisively commanded, "Swampert, grab it and use Ice Punch!"
"Lah-chi!"
Swampert roared, fiercely grabbing Gliscor's tail, its fists instantly enveloped in icy energy.
It charged fiercely towards Gliscor, throwing a punch. Although Gliscor tried to dodge, Swampert's speed was unexpectedly fast, and with its tail caught, it couldn't escape. Ice Punch directly hit Gliscor's wing.
Ice-type moves were extremely effective against Gliscor; Gliscor's wing was instantly covered in frost, and its movements became sluggish.
Wang Sheng's heart sank, and he quickly commanded, "Gliscor, quickly create distance!"
However, Gliscor's wing had already been corroded by the chill of Ice Punch, and its flying speed was greatly reduced.
"Ora ora ora!"
Swampert seized the opportunity, throwing another Ice Punch that directly hit Gliscor's abdomen.
"Gliscor, use X-Scissor!" Wang Sheng roared.
Gliscor swiftly rushed towards Swampert, its pincers crossed, attempting to deliver a fatal blow with X-Scissor.
Gliscor struggled in the air for a few moments, but ultimately fell weakly to the ground.
"Gliscor is unable to battle! Swampert wins! All of the blue team's Pokémon are unable to battle! The winner is Jiang Mo from the Research Department!" Rotom announced loudly.
Thunderous applause and cheers immediately erupted throughout the arena.
Jiang Mo's Swampert, with its feat of a 3-0 sweep, completely conquered all the spectators.
Wang Sheng, on the other hand, was pale-faced, clearly unable to accept that he had lost so thoroughly.
Jiang Mo recalled Swampert, gave Wang Sheng a cold glance, mentally sentenced him to death, and then left the venue with a flourish.
