Chapitre 758: Chapter 662 The Ghost Who Guards the Arena_1
With the conclusion of the 6vs6 singles and 3vs3 team battles, the scores between Hua Nation and Japan are now tied.
4:4.
That means, the upcoming arena battle in ten minutes, with those crucial 3 points, will decide the victor of this exchange match!!
When Fang Yuan came back, he was in a good mood, but he guessed that Ikeda Yu would be in a pretty bad state after returning.
"Eh, what's with those expressions?"
Fang Yuan saw the other four members of the second team looking as if they had seen a ghost and wondered, "Because of the match just now? It can't be that bad."
The Armed Magnet Monster might be strong, but not absurdly so.
If Fang Yuan's opponent had been Fujiwara Haruka and he had faced her top-level and the two pseudo top-level Pokemons, without using "Power of the Heart," his chances of winning would probably not exceed 50%.
What Fang Yuan failed to notice was... the reason she was formidable was because all three Pokemons were powerful.
Even the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster that made up his Armed Magnet Monster was just at the pseudo-top level.
As for Gear child, it couldn't even beat senior-level Pokemons.
Yet... just with these three Pokemons... top second stage? Using one-hit kill techniques at will?
Damn!
"Anyway, let's arrange the lineup for the arena battle first. Fang Yuan for one, me for another, and there is one more spot left. We don't have much time, let's decide quickly and submit," Shang Ren said.
Fang Yuan and Shang Ren were set to participate, and the other three naturally had no objections as both had proven their strength.
But the remaining spot was a difficult choice.
Mu Fan and Tang Xinlan had expended a lot of energy, and their main fighters had not fully recovered from their injuries.
Zheng Hongyi, although only partially injured, had lost one match and felt awkward about suggesting himself to fight again.
Moreover, the remaining three main fighters were weaker compared to those sent out for the team battle.
Everyone was in heated arguments last night, yet today they all looked deflated.
"Then let's go with Zheng. After all, no matter who participates, the result would be the same. Mu Fan, Tang Xinlan, what do you think?"
Fang Yuan asked.
"I have no problem with it." "Neither do I."
Mu Fan and Tang Xinlan nodded, so it would be Zheng Hongyi.
"Then shall I do my best?" Zheng Hongyi was no longer as assertive as before.
However, the four of them suddenly realized what Fang Yuan meant by "no matter who participates, the result would be the same."
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan had already written down the battle order.
"I was the last one out last time, so I'll go first this time. You guys rest a bit more, and then reap the benefits," Fang Yuan considered for his teammates.
............
Ten minutes after the team battle ended.
Inside the arena.
The referee continued to preside over the arena battle.
By then, he had received the detailed battle order.
The just-concluded singles and team battles hadn't given the crowd enough time to reflect before the arena battle was already upon them.
This high-intensity bout was too much for both sides, except for the Trainers with top-level combat power.
No wonder the first team needed substitutes...
"For the arena battle, the first fighters from both sides, Fang Yuan and Wutian!"
For Japan, it was once again the bearded young man Wutian starting.
For Hua Nation, Fang Yuan was already on his way over.
Wutian, who was walking towards him, clearly looked a bit upset.
This time it's this guy Fang Yuan right off the bat?
That Self-detonating Magnetic Monster had hardly any wear, and being a pseudo top-level combat power, was very difficult to deal with.
At the referee's command, both fighters had already sent out their Pokemons, Wutian's was an Aggron, massive in size and intimidating in manner, with its scars indicating its strength.
It was a Pokemon Wutian hadn't used before...
This Aggron's strength had not reached the master level limit but was close to top-level. It seemed that other main fighters were not in good shape, so this one had to be in battle.
Fang Yuan smiled slightly, for instead of sending out the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, he sent out... Glutton!
The two Pokemons almost appeared simultaneously. When the jet-black Shiny Gengar appeared, Wutian was taken aback, then became serious.
Ghost Type, shiny...
"That's the Shiny Ghost from the data, but its strength hasn't been updated for a long time, not very clear, so how strong could it be?" Fujiwara Haruka, although outside the arena, was at this moment paying even more attention to Fang Yuan's strength than Wutian.
If the difference in strength was too great, then Wutian wouldn't even be able to fulfill the role of wearing down Fang Yuan.
At this time, the Japanese team was extremely solemn because they had only Fujiwara Haruka as a top-level fighter, while Hua Nation already had Shang Ren, and this fellow Fang Yuan, although not yet showing top-level power, was probably capable of it.
This was not looking good!
Neither the Dragon King nor Juzhen Ye expected Fang Yuan's team battle to be won so easily.
Granted, Fujiwara Haruka could also be said not to have expended much, but on Hua Nation's side, there was also a Shang Ren, likewise possessed of top-level combat power!
This put a lot of pressure on Fujiwara Haruka...
They shouldn't have dragged it to the arena match... the Japanese side thought with concern.
Others didn't know the strength of Gengar, but the Trainers who had watched Fang Yuan's first selection remembered Gengar's power very clearly.
Nearly-Top Level!!
Now, with so much time having passed, even if it hadn't crossed the threshold of top-level, it was surely further advanced.
After the battle began, Fang Yuan still went straight to the point and said, "Hey, your Aggron looks like it's been scared silly, it's too frightened to move."
As for commands? They had already been issued via Mind Induction.
Once Fang Yuan finished speaking, Wutian was immediately shocked and looked towards Aggron.
At that moment, under Aggron's feet, its shadow inexplicably distorted, and just like Fang Yuan said, its face was hideously twisted, unable to move!
"Rock Slide!!!!!" Noticing something was wrong, Wutian hurriedly gave the command, sweating profusely—this was just too weird.
Unfortunately, not only was Aggron's body unable to move, but even the flow of its energy was controlled.
The Glutton had already mastered and integrated Black Gazes, Shadow Contract, Anchoring Method, Curse Body, and even the Stepping Shadow technique after Mega Evolution.
In the dark field, Aggron strained with all its might, but its strength was still insufficient to break free of the shadow. This Aggron's strength was just above Master Level; perhaps through Power-Up Moves it could reach Nearly-Top Level, but facing the Glutton, who could threaten the Top Tier Domain and had been through countless top-level battles, it had no chance to counter.
"Heh heh~~~" Meanwhile, Gengar looked at the struggling buffoon across from it and laughed out loud.
The next second.
The shadow beneath Aggron's feet expanded, spreading across the field; the field seemed to be covered by a gigantic creature, consumed by shadows.
A huge Black Other Shore Flower pattern appeared on the ground.
Immediately after, Gengar stepped on the shadow, approaching Aggron step by step, then floated up to eye level with it.
Throughout, it was incredibly arrogant, disdainful, as if the frantic commands of Wutian and the desperate struggle of Aggron were nothing to it.
In mid-air, Gengar extended its arms, and in combination with its eye technique, initiated hypnotism.
At this moment, Aggron's struggle abruptly stopped, and Wutian's mouth fell open, seemingly powerless.
With the onset of this Hypnosis, Aggron, having no power to resist, stopped struggling altogether, and instead... simply collapsed.
"Finish it off," said Fang Yuan calmly.
"Dream Eating!"
Upon receiving the command, Gengar turned away in disdain, while the shadow beneath Aggron's body quivered as if alive!
The Black Other Shore Flower, as Gengar turned, spontaneously stood upright like a gaping abyssal maw, enveloping and devouring Aggron in a single bite!
A moment later.
The Shadow Realm dissipated, and Aggron, from a state of slumber, transitioned into a state of complete exhaustion.
Gengar's hypnotism and Dream Eating technique weren't inherited from the Thousand-year Gengar but were learned on Nightmare Island, through consultation with Darkrai alongside Dragonite.
With sustained power, it was enough to instantly defeat Aggron!
Yet another Pseudo Top-class Battle Power!!!
By merely demonstrating its mastery of Shadow Energy over the Ghost attribute, the Japanese immediately recognized its immense power!!
Sinister, eerie, powerful, and proud, this Gengar was too much for Wutian to handle.
It was as if he wasn't facing a Pseudo-Top Level, but a genuine Top Overlord!
"This is bad…" Wutian had been at ease fighting Mu Fan, but now facing Fang Yuan, he found himself unsure of what to do. It wasn't just about top-level power—he didn't even have pseudo top-class power!
Wutian was sweating profusely, glancing back at his teammates, at Longzaki Heavenly King, and at his senior, Juzhen Ye.
However, there was no choice but to fight.
Next, Fang Yuan and Glutton continued to use the same tactic.
The Shadow Contract inherited from Thousand-Year Gengar, elevated by the Stepping Shadow Feature after Mega Evolution, had reached a new level.
The combination of hypnotism and Dream Eating, involving the use of the Power of Dreams, was also very special.
With this strategy, Fang Yuan and his team easily took down Wutian's two nearly-top level Pokemon that were injured and not at their best in terms of physical strength.
And Glutton, nearly unexhausted.
Compared to the battle with Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, Glutton's fight was simple, yet it emanated a hair-raising eeriness.
Even the nearly-top level power was unable to break free from the terrifying Shadow Realm immediately, or stay conscious against the bizarre hypnotism.
This… Fang Yuan had already secured an unbeatable position!
"Amazing!!" As Fang Yuan easily crushed an opponent, the excited substitutes from the second team shouted.
Anyway, no matter who they would challenge next, they definitely shouldn't go against Fang Yuan. This guy had already taken down two pseudo-top levels.
Wutian, originally a robust young man, looked considerably paler after the battle, due to the immense psychological pressure.
Something was off, this Gengar was definitely not just as simple as an ordinary pseudo-top level.
Because even when fighting the team captain's top-level power, he hadn't felt such a strange oppressive force.
He… was directly frightened.
On the Japanese side, Wutian returned pale-faced, and Fujiwara Haruka and Qingwu, who were about to compete next, glanced at him.
Wutian immediately warned, "Captain, that Gengar is not simple, you must be careful!!!"
"I know," Fujiwara Haruka responded indifferently, not too worried about the Gengar as she had top-level combat power; she was more concerned about whether Fang Yuan had a hidden top-level power!
Now, Fujiwara Haruka hoped that Fang Yuan's strongest was just pseudo top-class battle power, and that Shang Ren was the strongest in the second team. Only then could she win more easily.
This possibility wasn't out of the question, after all, the captaincy had been determined months ago, and it was entirely possible for Shang Ren to have surpassed it with more preparation!
"This Gengar has grown stronger," Shang Ren observed seriously, watching Fang Yuan's Gengar. Aside from his trump card Pokemon, he wasn't confident he could win with any others he sent out, knowing that this Gengar still had another move… Indestructible Black Flame.
The Japanese side had already lost a person without Fang Yuan even breaking a sweat.
At this point, Ma Chenzong and his team were overjoyed; things were looking more and more stable. Though not a perfect victory, winning was enough.
Even if Fang Yuan were worn down by Qingwu and Fujiwara Haruka back-to-back, with Zheng Hongyi and Shang Ren to follow, there shouldn't be any problems.
And Fang Yuan, watching Qingwu step up, felt it was not enough of a thrill. He hadn't considered losing an option. If it continued like this, it would be too boring, but perhaps he could aim to make Glutton achieve a 1 vs 9 without Mega Evolution, overcoming top-level power, a challenge that could certainly be a good test for it.
Thinking this, Fang Yuan suddenly looked toward the spectator stands, wondering if there was a chance to get that Japanese Dragon King to come down for a match?
If the exchange match ended and the Dragon King provoked him, that would be perfect.
