Pokémon: From Magikarp

"Okay, stop talking about me."

Su Qimeng shook her head and quickly cheered up.

"From the current results, the only ones who have maintained an undefeated record of 8 games are you, Meng Ge, and No. High School's Jin Yao and Fang Qi."

"If nothing unexpected happens, your opponent in the ninth game should be one of them."

Su Qimeng analyzed while counting on her fingers.

"However, so far this year, there are actually four players who have maintained eight wins. This shows that this year there will definitely be a player who has won ten games."

“It looks a lot stronger than in previous years.”

Su Qimeng tilted her head and thought for a while before saying to him.

"Ten wins in all?"

Lin Shi muttered thoughtfully.

Must win!

……

It is now the afternoon of the 13th day of the competition, and the 9th college entrance examination match will be held today.

At this moment, Lin Shi was sitting in the stands, watching the game on the field. His game would start later, so he took the opportunity to spy on the enemy's situation first.

The two people who are about to fight on the field are Meng Ge and Jin Yao, both of whom have maintained an 8-game undefeated streak. Their fight naturally attracted the attention of many people, and the stands on both sides were already full of people.

"I declare the battle begins!"

At the referee's command, the two people took out their Poké Balls and released the Pokémon.

The Pokémon Meng Ge sent out was naturally his ace Pokémon Haunter, while the Pokémon Jin Yao sent out was a red, metallic, mantis-shaped Pokémon - Gigantic.

"Tsk tsk, this giant mantis is so handsome."

Lin Shi smacked his lips, admiring the giant mantis's good looks.

From the perspective of attributes, Mantis naturally has the advantage. After all, the steel element is directly immune to poison attacks, and Haunter cannot learn any effective fire skills.

However, Lin Shi knew that Meng Ge's Haunter was good at ghost and ice elements, and its poison element was average, so it was hard to say who would win.

"Haunter, use Phosphorus."

Meng Ge was the first to launch the attack. Haunter stuck out his blood-red tongue, and a ball of blue flame instantly ignited in front of him, firing towards the Giant Mantis like a cannonball.

Like Phosphorus and Poison, they will cause the elves to suffer from continuous health reduction debuffs of burns and poisoning respectively. The difference is that burns reduce a fixed amount of health, while poisoning will become more and more serious over time.

Jin Yao naturally couldn't stand by and watch the giant mantis get burned, so he immediately ordered the giant mantis to resist.

"The giant mantis uses the air blade to disperse the phosphorus fire."

The giant mantis's pincer-like hands crossed in front of its body, and then the wings behind it shook at a high speed. Several wind blades formed instantly, passing through the air and instantly splitting Haunter's phosphorous flames.

"Giant Mantis uses Sword Dance!"

After resisting the attack, Jin Yao immediately ordered the giant mantis to strengthen itself. Its body spun at high speed on the spot, and gradually a white light emerged on its body. Its attack power was constantly increasing.

"Haunter, use Black Mist."

The familiar black fog instantly emerged from Haunter, and the black fog that covered the sky and the sun filled the entire battlefield. In an instant, Mantis was swallowed up by it.

Immediately afterwards, Claws felt that the power that had just been strengthened in its body was suppressed in an instant. This was the effect of the black fog, which made the Pokémon's changed abilities return to the original point.

Jin Yao frowned. The proficiency and power of this Haunter Black Mist were outrageous.

"call……"

He let out a breath slowly. If that's the case, just fight hard. With sharp eyes, he gave direct orders.

"Giant pincer mantis, bullet punch!"

The fists of Giant Mantis emitted silver light, and it instantly came in front of Haunter, hitting him quickly with its fists like bullets.

Seeing this scene, Meng Ge did not panic at all and calmly commanded Haunter.

"Haunter, use Phantom Attack!"

The moment the bullet fist landed, Haunter's body shape changed and disappeared like a phantom, disappearing into the shadow.

As the black fog spread, the area around the Giant Mantis became dark. It kept observing its surroundings, calmly judging the direction in which Haunter would appear.

"Now, Haunter, grab it."

Haunter's ferocious face appeared behind Mantis. It quickly stretched out its claws and grabbed Mantis's shoulders fiercely. The ghost power continued to erode Mantis.

"Lick it with your tongue."

Just as the Giant Mantis was in pain, Haunter stretched out its long tongue. The blood-red tongue was like a red rope, quickly wrapping around the Giant Mantis and tying it up in an instant.

"Goddess Meng Ge is too strong, this combo is too smooth."

"Goddess Mengge, I love you..."

"If this is Gardevoir, it can't be broadcast..."

"Come on, sis..."

Meng Ge's conducting aroused waves of admiration from the audience.

Lin Shi also watched this scene with interest. Meng Ge was indeed powerful. The attack method of this Haunter was exactly the same as the one used by the Night Demon against the Bronze Bell that day.

Haunter's mentor, Darkmoon, right?

"Haunter, use Fire Fist!"

After restraining the Giant Mantis, Meng Ge immediately launched an attack. Haunter's fists were flaming with fire and he hit the Giant Mantis hard. The mantis showed an extremely painful expression as it was four times weaker in fire.

"It lives up to its reputation. It's really amazing."

Jin Yao exclaimed in admiration. Ever since the battle began, he had been led by Meng Wan and was completely caught up in the opponent's fighting rhythm.

"But this is not enough if you want to beat me!" Jin Yao said in a deep voice.

"Giant Mantis, use the combo!"

Hearing the trainer's command, Mantis's eyes flashed white, and light yellow insect energy emanated from its body. Its pincers, shining with light, moved as fast as knives, constantly trying to break free from Haunter's restraints.

The technical master characteristic of Giant Mantis is activated. In battle, the effects of low-power skills are improved, and the combo skill belongs to the category of "low-power". With the blessing of this characteristic, Giant Mantis's attack becomes sharper.

"ah."

Haunter howled in pain and loosened his tongue, allowing Mantis to break free.

"not good."

Meng Ge's face was solemn. He had been fooled the first time. With Jin Yao's level, it would be difficult for him to give Haunter such an opportunity again.

"It's our turn now."

Seeing the giant mantis break free from its restraints, Jin Yao showed a confident smile on his face.

"Giant Mantis, use Clear Fog!"

At Jin Yao's command, the giant mantis flapped its wings quickly, summoning a strong wind that instantly blew away Haunter's black mist.

"You also know this trick?"

Lin Shi was a little surprised. The skill of Clearing Thick Fog can use strong wind to clear the opponent's reflective wall and light wall and reduce its dodge rate. Naturally, since it is called Clearing Thick Fog, it is reasonable to blow away the black fog and white fog, right?

"So, the ancestor of this giant mantis should be a snow moth..." Lin Shi guessed with interest.

Looking at the black mist being blown away, Meng Ge bit her lips lightly. She had not expected that this giant mantis would know this trick. Her rhythm was completely disrupted.

"The giant pincer mantis uses shadow clone!"

After the thick fog was dispelled, Jin Yao immediately commanded the giant mantis to attack.

The giant mantis in the air split into two, then the two split into four, and more and more of them flew towards Haunter with great momentum.

"Haunter uses Freezing Wind!"

A blue and white icy light condensed on Haunter's body, and gusts of freezing cold wind whistled towards the flying shadows in the sky.

The battle instantly entered a white-hot stage...
