Mu Li’s expression of surprise instantly tightened everyone’s hearts.
This also made Park Sang-eun’s face light up with joy: “Did I play the right card? Is this Venusaur the nemesis of that Hatterene?”
But when he saw the expression on Hatterene’s face, he instantly didn’t understand.
No, what exactly do you mean by that excited look?
Mu Li’s face showed visible panic: “Why send out a Venusaur of all Pokémon?”
Others didn’t know, but he was all too familiar with the history between Hatterene and Venusaur.
Of course, the Venusaur mentioned here refers to Mu Li’s Venusaur.
Back then, Venusaur and Alakazam were sent by Mu Li to restore the ecological environment around Hatterene’s home.
Seeing Hatterene’s straightforward nature, Alakazam took Hatterene as his apprentice.
But while Hatterene’s nature was straightforward, she was also truly troublesome.
Not only did she wear Alakazam out, but Venusaur was also endlessly annoyed.
Alakazam, due to his pride as a master and his tough talk but soft heart, could never bring himself to truly discipline Hatterene.
Thus, the task of disciplining her fell to Venusaur.
Although Venusaur’s movement speed was slow, and it seemed unable to catch up to the Teleporting Hatterene, who knew that Hatterene would encounter Mu Li’s Venusaur.
In the forest, that was Venusaur’s domain.
Centered around Venusaur, within a ten-mile radius, if you couldn’t Teleport out in one go, then you wouldn’t be able to leave that area.
Even now, Mu Li still remembers once stumbling upon Venusaur disciplining Hatterene.
The countless flying Vine Whips directly disrupted the space around Hatterene.
Forget about Teleport, it was whipped so hard that even Psychic’s targeting was scattered.
Hatterene spun like a small top, whipped from the ground to the sky.
That’s how this grudge was formed.
And for Hatterene, her Miracles Eye was barely wider than a needle.
Since she couldn’t beat the big Venusaur, surely there was a Bulbasaur Family member that she could beat?
Next, under everyone’s astonished gaze, countless spiky Psychic tendrils gradually spread from what looked like the ends of Hatterene’s hair.
Mu Li couldn’t help but twitch his mouth, subconsciously covering his eyes, not daring to look directly at this scene.
At this moment, Park Sang-eun’s smile had frozen on his face.
What is this thing?
Is this a new move developed by someone?
Why does this thing look so much like a Vine Whip?
But it’s a Vine Whip made of Psychic, does it have some special effect?
Regarding that last question, Mu Li indicated he could answer.
The main reason for constructing this Vine Whip was that it hurt—especially when whipping people!!!
Have you ever seen a two to three hundred jin Venusaur do ballet?
Then congratulations, today you can witness it.
Venusaur saw the Psychic tendrils flying everywhere, and just as it was about to retreat, the next moment, it was hoisted up by a tendril.
Crack! Crack! Crack!!
The Psychic tendrils, at a speed invisible to the naked eye, whipped Venusaur from 360 angles, turning it into a green spinning top.
Even more outrageous was that while Hatterene was whipping Venusaur, she also took the time to use Life Dew and Aromatherapy on her opponent…
Cruel…
It was simply too cruel…
Killing is but a nod of the head, this Hatterene wasn’t taking your life, but she was preparing to leave a lifelong psychological trauma in the heart of this Venusaur!
Everyone present could see that this Hatterene had a grudge against Venusaur.
Looking at the Venusaur-top, whipped from the ground to the sky, and then from the sky back to the ground, everyone actually felt a little unbearable.
Mu Li also couldn’t help but sigh: “That’s enough, it’s impolite to keep whipping!”
Hatterene then snapped out of her enraged state, looking regretfully at the Venusaur on the ground, who was still vomiting even though it had already fainted, and dispelled the Psychic tendrils that filled the air.
“Um… sorry about that…” Mu Li couldn’t help but chuckle apologetically to Park Sang-eun, “She’s a bit off in the head, don’t take it personally…”
Park Sang-eun took a deep breath, recalled Venusaur to its Poké Ball, completely ignored Mu Li’s words, and signaled to the referee: “Referee, I forfeit.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue erupted in an uproar.
“This… this… he’s forfeiting already?”
“No way? This guy is too fragile, isn’t he?”
“Fragile? He’s practically getting PTSD, alright?”
“So A Li won just like that?”
“Is he forfeiting this match, or forfeiting completely?”
…
As if hearing everyone’s confusion, Park Sang-eun explained: “I request to withdraw from this battle.”
At this, the audience on stage completely exploded.
“That’s it?”
“Only two matches and it’s over?”
“If I were him, I’d run too… this is completely on a different level.”
“I feel so ripped off, so many matches I won’t get to see now.”
“Be content, weren’t these two matches much better than the World Championship?”
“These two matches are enough to make me laugh for a year.”
“This match should have been saved for the New Year.”
…
The host, Xiao You, on stage, was suddenly at a loss for words.
Ling Fei, however, sighed: “That’s why I said, everyone, don’t have too much hope for this competition… just treat it as entertainment.”
At this, the audience below the stage and Xiao You all understood what Ling Fei’s words meant.
It turned out that in Ling Fei’s eyes, whether it was this little guy or those two American Champions, for Mu Li, they were just entertainment, no, it should be said that they weren’t even entertainment.
Look at Park Sang-eun, he was in a daze for half the first match, and A Li had to warm up the crowd.
The second match didn’t even require any commands, he just stared blankly at the field.
Throughout the entire match, he only issued two commands, and one of them his own Pokémon didn’t even listen to.
The audience didn’t know whether to sympathize or to complain?
This is truly, if it were me, I could do it too.
This time, I really can!
What’s the difference from watching them battle themselves?
Oh, no, there is a difference.
At least their opponents wouldn’t toy with their Pokémon like this.
Compared to the audience below the stage, at this moment, the two people waiting in the battle room were truly restless.
“What should we do? Have you figured out a way to break it?” Harris asked with a heavy expression.
“Breaking it isn’t difficult, the opponent definitely can’t control so many Shadow Balls at once, even if they throw them all at once, we can avoid them with speed.” Joyce analyzed, “But the problem is, is this all of their strength? From their performance, the opponent hasn’t even been serious, just playing around.”
Harris nodded with an ugly expression: “If that’s the case, it will be very difficult for the two of us to win a single match.”
“It seems Austan’s words were true.” Joyce suddenly said.
“What did he say?” Harris asked curiously.
“Austan once told me that the reason he was able to win one match and draw one match against A Li was mainly because Chinese people are more humble.” Joyce explained, “In their culture, a complete victory is an insult to the enemy, so even when they have an absolute advantage, they will intentionally lose a match to save the opponent’s face.”
