Chapter 33 Let's Fight Back!
"How could it be Meowth? How is that possible... You changed your Pokémon at the last minute!?"
Shao Feng's face turned grim, and he asked incredulously.
He was the most surprised at that moment.
It's important to know that raising a Pokémon is a long process, and developing a strong bond with its trainer isn't something that happens overnight.
Even family scions like Zheng Ran and Ding Chengxun only managed to cultivate one elf during the college entrance examination period.
Lin Chong actually has two Pokémon, and he even switched them during the second half of the college entrance exam. Does that mean—this Meowth is his trump card?!
No, calm down, that's impossible.
Shao Feng composed himself, as if he had figured something out, and smiled at Lin Chong.
"Impressive tactic; you even hid an elf."
"But I think this cat is probably weaker than that little black cat, right? If you think you can defeat the Swallowtail Otter just because of type advantage, then you're sorely mistaken!"
Lin Chong gave him a strange look, but didn't explain. He simply told Miao Miao to go on stage and take her place.
Once both sides' Pokémon were in position, a sharp whistle blew – the battle had begun.
Shao Feng preemptively said, "Don't let it get into its optimal state, use the claw attack to overpower it!"
The swallowtail otter's paws gleamed as it moved closer to the meow.
Lin Chong glanced at it and ordered, "Retreat and create distance."
Meow understood immediately, and with its front paws on the ground, it ran behind it.
It wasn't as fast as the little black cat, which gave everyone present the illusion that this cat really wasn't as strong as the little black cat!
Shao Feng smiled, feeling confident of victory. Seeing that the Swallowtail Otter was slower than Meow Meow, he changed his strategy.
"Stop and undergo baptism!"
However, Lin Chong's voice rang out almost simultaneously: "Spores."
The swallowtail otter was surrounded by water, but even with its enhanced abilities, a slow-moving thorn seed got stuck on its tail.
On the judges' panel, the eyes of the three guests lit up.
Duan Lin stroked his beard and praised, "The timing of the spores was excellent; they caught the swallowtail otter in its moment of weakness."
Those around him chimed in, "It seems this Meowth is using a classic Grass-type strategy, which is a bit difficult for beginners. I wonder if this player can stick with it?"
Shao Feng could also see that Lin Chong was going to use the high recovery ability of Grass-type Pokémon to "defend and win," and he frowned.
"Swallowtail otter, go and grab it!"
Because the college entrance examination rules include "going out of bounds results in a loss", even if the Swallowtail Otter is not as fast as the Meow Meow, the latter will eventually have a moment when it cannot avoid the danger.
However, just as Meow Meow was being pushed all the way to the corner of the field by the Swallowtail Otter and was about to be forced out of bounds, it suddenly turned around to face the Swallowtail Otter, as if it was going to fight to the death.
But how could a beginner-level Pokémon like you possibly beat a Swallowtail Otter?
In the spectator area, everyone, including Jiang Qianxun, had the same thought in their minds.
Shao Feng sneered, "Naive!"
At his command, the Swallowtail Otter's claws gleamed as it charged forward, but Meowth was not afraid at all. It used "Thorn Claws" and directly attacked the former!
The sounds of their clashes ignited the passion of the audience, with Lin Chong's fans shouting, "Go for it! Hang in there!"
Even viewers who aren't fans of Lin Chong are now silently praying for him.
People subconsciously expect a scene of "insubordination" to occur. At this moment, in their eyes, the cat, which is not even half the size of a swallowtail otter, is the "subordinate"!
But... is the cat really the weaker party?
This back-and-forth battle lasted for nearly ten rounds.
Jiang Qianxun noticed something was wrong, and she frowned: "Something's not right."
"How can this cat be so strong?"
Chen Xi, standing to the side, didn't respond, but simply smiled quietly.
For a typical beginner-level Pokémon, facing a second-level opponent, let alone engaging in combat, even avoiding battle and surviving is a luxury.
But this meow not only faced the swallowtail otter without flinching, but its relentless attack also held off the swallowtail otter!
Is this supposed to be a beginner-level spirit?
On the field, Shao Feng quickly realized something was wrong. He hurriedly ordered the swallowtail otter to retreat, but Lin Chong's command was like a knife, swift and deadly.
Photosynthesis.
The sunlight overhead gathered around the cat.
At this moment, with "spores" and "photosynthesis", the Grass-type defensive winning formula is officially achieved!
Seeing Shao Feng's pale face across from him, Lin Chong, who hadn't said much throughout the entire event, suddenly spoke up.
"Should we admit defeat?"
Shao Feng's lips moved. He couldn't believe that he, who possessed only four evolved Pokémon in the entire tournament, was going to be eliminated by a Meowth.
Will I stop here, remaining outside the top 100?
In that instant, he recalled his parents' earnest gaze before he left home, the nights he spent training with the swallowtail otter, and finally, his passionate yet somewhat childish declaration when the light of evolution appeared.
"I, Shao Feng, am determined to excel in the Elf College Entrance Examination!"
He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, glared at Lin Chong, and spoke angrily.
"You want me to admit defeat? Don't be ridiculous!"
"My swallowtail otter is still capable of fighting. You won't leave here until you've defeated us!"
As if sensing the trainer's emotions, the Swallowtail Otter in the arena let out a loud cry.
[Detected that the Pokémon "Swallowtail Otter" has the advanced wish "Don't get eliminated"]
This wish offers generous rewards and is recommended for players to complete first.
Lin Chong's expression froze, and he was stunned.
He was just thinking to himself that Shao Feng's fighting spirit was really good, but what does this "advanced wish" mean?
To prevent Shao Feng from being eliminated, and then eliminate yourself... isn't that ridiculous?
But if I were to admit defeat now and choose to enroll in Mudu Academy, would I be able to get a high-level wish reward for free?
Subconsciously, Lin Chong began to think... Is there a solution that can satisfy both sides?
By then, the swallowtail otter had closed in, determined to fight to the death before Meow Meow could fully recover.
Lin Chong did not give the order. Meow Meow retreated and dodged based on its own judgment. Suddenly, its inner voice rang in Lin Chong's ear.
Why aren't you giving any instructions?
Lin Chong smiled and replied, "You should be able to handle this situation, right?"
Despite being under attack, Miaomiao still chatted lazily with Lin Chong.
What you said is true, but I have a chill down my spine. Were you just thinking about fixing the match?
"You really understand me. Do you mind?"
I don't care anymore, it's not the first time anyway. Just give me a massage after I get injured.
After consulting with Miaomiao, Lin Chong took back command, having already come up with a "win-win solution".
Suddenly, the previously dodging cat charged forward and engaged the swallowtail otter in battle once more.
The sparks from the collision of "scratching" and "thorny claws" faintly illuminated Lin Chong's face.
At this moment, Mr. Duan Lin, who was sitting on the judges' panel, frowned.
With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see through the situation on the field—with the double blessing of "spores" and "photosynthesis," Meow Meow only needed to avoid battle as much as possible, and the outcome was already decided.
But why did Lin Chong... make Miao Miao fight the Swallowtail Otter?
On the field, Shao Feng had the same thought. He frowned and looked at Lin Chong in confusion, only to see the latter grin at him.
"I heard your wish."
"Let's go head-to-head."
