“The winner is A Li!” The referee’s voice rang out again, waking up the stunned crowd.
A cacophony of noise immediately filled the entire stadium.
“Is that really a Ditto? Isn’t that my Bear God in the flesh?”
“Can someone tell me what just happened? I went to the restroom and they won again?”
“Is this the universe’s number one Roaring Tiger? As expected, the strongest is still Ditto.”
“I knew it, a Pokémon that can transform into other Pokémon definitely wouldn’t be weak.”
…
On the commentary desk, Xiao You’s eyes once again turned to the two commentary tools.
Only this time, she didn’t get an answer.
Ling Fei and Yan Jin also looked at the stage with blank expressions.
Xiao You: Forget it, let it be destroyed. Whoever wants to commentate, let them commentate.
At this moment, Harris finally let out a sigh of relief.
Originally, he had hoped to win one of the 1v1 battles, at least to not lose so badly, but who knew that before Hatterene even appeared, he had already been beaten 2-0.
Next, the opponent would definitely send out that Hatterene.
Harris admitted that he had no chance of winning against Hatterene.
Alright, I choose you!
Harris finally sent out his Pokémon for the third 1v1 battle, Toxapex.
Toxapex, looking much like a coral fortress wrapped around itself, possessed extremely strong defenses coupled with Regenerator.
The main reason Harris sent her out was to stall for time and test Hatterene’s true strength.
However, to Harris’s and all the audience’s surprise, another Bewear appeared in front of Mu Li.
Everyone had question marks plastered across their faces.
Seriously, buddy, how many Bewear do you have?
Harris was completely speechless.
His mind was now full of Bewear; if this continued, he felt he would eventually develop Bewear PTSD.
Harris looked at Bewear with a resentful expression, then finally turned his gaze to the referee.
The referee seemed uncomfortable under Harris’s stare and couldn’t help but ask, “A Li, this time, what is this…?”
Mu Li smiled and said, “This time, it’s not Bewear either, but…”
Bewear’s figure slowly vanished, revealing a gray-black, red-haired Pokémon resembling a fox demon.
“This time it’s Zoroark,” Mu Li said with a smile.
That’s right, this Zoroark was the one Mu Li encountered on the deserted island before.
The reason she looked like this now was due to a disguise; after all, Hisuian Zoroark was a bit too flashy.
Who would have thought that behind one illusion was yet another illusion?
On the commentary desk, Xiao You couldn’t help but ask, “Gentlemen, this…”
Ling Fei: “Don’t ask…”
Yan Jin: “Unclear…”
Ling Fei: “Don’t understand…”
Yan Jin: “Just watch…”
Xiao You: “…”
As the host, Xiao You was almost in tears.
It’s one thing for the audience to occasionally fall silent, but why are these two on the commentary desk just as clueless as the audience?
Weren’t they supposed to be a teammate and a teacher?
Why does it feel like you two don’t know much more about A Li than we do?
If Ling Fei and Yan Jin heard Xiao You’s thoughts, they would probably say, “It’s shallow, still shallow. This is just the beginning! The ones we know haven’t even appeared yet!”
At this moment, Harris also didn’t know what to say.
Zoroark, you are Zoroark, isn’t your original form cool enough?
Why did you have to turn into that pink bear?
It’s not cute at all, okay?
However, Harris had misunderstood Zoroark.
The fact that Zoroark would transform into Bewear was actually not under her own control.
Ever since Mu Li brought Zoroark home, he had let her roam freely, with Indeedee in charge of feeding all of them.
However, among his Pokémon, the only suitable choice for handling such a transforming Pokémon was Ditto.
As everyone knows, the Ditto in Mu Li’s house’s favorite thing to do every day is to transform into Bewear and pretend to be a Bewear doll with Bewear.
Recently, ever since a little follower joined them, Ditto had an additional task—taking Zoroark along to transform into Bewear dolls.
Thus, another “lying dead” Bewear appeared on the sofa at home.
Harris was going crazy at this point.
How could they just keep fighting and fighting, over and over again?
When would this Bewear finally be defeated?
Why isn’t Hatterene, who was promised, being sent out?
…
Harris was on the verge of calling the police: “Hello, Officer? I suspect someone here is causing trouble with Ditto and Zoroark! Yes! It’s fraud!”
On Mu Li’s side, even though Zoroark had been with Mu Li for a relatively short time, she had a good mother.
The energy accumulated from being sealed in the Spirit World for tens of thousands of years, plus the energy that Dusknoir outside had also accumulated for so long, all ended up being absorbed by Zoroark.
Zoroark was similar to Gyarados; she didn’t need to consider how to improve her strength, only how to control the power within her body.
Facing Zoroark, the Phantom Ruler, Harris was somewhat exasperated, but at least he still had the Champion’s dignity.
After the battle began, he sent Toxapex to attack, unleashing a Toxic on Zoroark.
However, unexpectedly, Zoroark inherited the characteristics of the Bewear line, quickly approaching Toxapex while dodging Toxic.
Toxapex immediately retreated into her fortress.
Facing a curled-up Toxapex, Zoroark naturally didn’t have moves like Machamp or Brick Break; after all, she wasn’t a real Bewear and couldn’t use Bewear’s moves.
But she had her own moves.
Purple-black ghostly energy gathered between her claws, and before Toxapex could react, the ghostly energy directly penetrated Toxapex’s outer protection.
Toxapex’s defenses were indeed not just for show; this Night Slash failed to take Toxapex down directly.
The next second, her super Regenerator activated, and the injuries on her body began to heal rapidly.
Zoroark frowned slightly, her claws transforming into Night Slash, stacking Swords Dance, and began to furiously claw.
Facing Zoroark, who had entered a berserk state, even with Toxapex’s strongest defense, she ultimately fell.
This time, Harris was not exasperated; he had already anticipated this outcome.
In this match, he also got the result he wanted.
Indeed, compared to Ditto and Bewear from before, this Zoroark’s strength was significantly weaker.
This also gave Harris some hope of victory.
To be honest, if every one of Mu Li’s Pokémon performed like Bewear and Hatterene, then he would truly have no chance of winning at all.
After all, even if he possessed the strongest team commanding ability, if the strength difference between the two sides was too vast, then even god-tier commanding would be useless.
Looking at Zoroark, who had transformed into Bewear, Harris couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, he even began to look forward to the upcoming matches.
