"Classmate Qiao Ran, this is very dangerous! As your homeroom teacher, I cannot allow this to happen!"

The homeroom teacher sternly stopped Qiao Ran's actions, stating that it was incredibly dangerous for a student who was just starting out to face such a Pokémon.

From the battle between Vulpix and Garchomp that ended in an instant just now, one could see just how powerful these strictly trained Pokémon were.

This was absolutely not something a student could compare to.

"It's fine. If the gap is truly too large, I can surrender immediately. Besides, can't your Pokémon also stop this Garchomp?"

Qiao Ran said, but he had already thrown the Poké Ball in his hand.

"Wait..." The homeroom teacher didn't have time to stop him. Seeing Qiao Ran's action, he immediately put his hand on his waist, intending to send out his Pokémon to forcibly intervene in this dangerous battle.

However, just as the homeroom teacher was about to act, the Dean of Students, who had been silent until now, walked up to him and blocked his movement.

"Don't act yet. Just watch."

"..."

The homeroom teacher fell silent, seeming to want to argue further, but when he saw a girl with long black hair, wearing a school uniform, appear behind the Dean of Students, his eyes flickered intensely.

"Al... alright."

The homeroom teacher completely abandoned the idea of intervening. Qiao Ran, who had been observing the homeroom teacher's actions, quickly looked away, though he didn't know what had happened over there.

Qiao Ran knew that the homeroom teacher likely wouldn't allow his actions, so to achieve the outcome of battling, he had to act first and report later.

It seemed like the battle could proceed!

Qiao Ran's Poké Ball drew an arc through the air, emitting a dazzling pink light effect, and finally—an incredibly cute, tiny Pokémon appeared on the field.

"Go! Dianxi!"

Following Qiao Ran's command, the Pokémon opened its eyes.

She had a pair of beautiful red eyes and an incredibly petite body. Her lower body was composed of minerals, and her body was covered with a considerable amount of pink crystals, like a pink headdress, shimmering with crystal-clear iridescence under the sunlight.

She stood gracefully, like a princess of a kingdom.

"What Pokémon is this?? I've never seen it before??"

"So cute..."

The crowd murmured, and the girls were all captivated by this Pokémon, but the boys raised objections.

"But it looks so weak... Aren't cute Pokémon usually very weak?"

Some even started to heckle, asking Qiao Ran where he caught it. These students didn't know much about Pokémon; they assumed this Pokémon was just one they happened not to know.

"I caught it in the grass a few days ago. Yes, yes, just a few days ago. Where in the grass? Maybe on the mountain behind the school. Just got lucky. Diamond? Not diamond, glass, colored glass."

Qiao Ran rubbed the back of his head, spreading misinformation with ill intentions when his classmates asked. However, whether it was Qiao Ran's illusion or not, he saw Dianxi, standing in the field, quietly turn her head, puff out her cheeks, and glare at him.

I don't live in the grass! And I'm not glass!

Qiao Ran was startled. Had his words just now provoked her?

Although Qiao Ran described Dianxi as a wild monster by the roadside, the truth was the complete opposite of what Qiao Ran said. Not only was she not a so-called "wild monster," but she was a legendary Pokémon, a legendary "Mythical Pokémon," and a Mythical Pokémon with Mega Evolution abilities.

After Mega Evolution, her base stats could reach a terrifying 700 points, only 20 points less than the Arceus in its normal state. Although base stats don't represent everything in this real world, they fully demonstrate Dianxi's powerful strength.

Beneath her cute appearance, terrible power was hidden.

She was the princess of the Diamond Kingdom. Her manners in speaking and eating reflected her noble upbringing as a princess. Moreover, she was the only Pokémon with the ability to create "Eternal Diamonds."

Qiao Ran's actions attracted everyone's attention, especially the sparkling Pokémon that was said to be made entirely of colored glass, which made it impossible to look away. However, in this battle arena, one person's anger grew deeper and deeper.

"Why... why is no one paying attention to me anymore?"

His Garchomp was clearly more majestic and powerful, so why weren't they looking this way?

Clearly, I am the one...

"Garchomp! Dragon Pulse!"

Anger surged, and evil intentions arose. Chang Mengda directly commanded his Garchomp. Upon receiving his order, Garchomp opened its large mouth, and a powerful blue-purple shockwave shot out, heading straight towards Dianxi.

Chang Mengda's attack caught everyone by surprise, even Qiao Ran hadn't expected him to launch a sneak attack before the homeroom teacher officially announced the start of the match.

"Dangerous!"

"Ah!"

"What a powerful impact... that cute Pokémon is definitely finished."

The classmates couldn't help but exclaim, worrying for Dianxi. Especially the girls who were captivated by Dianxi's appearance, they couldn't bear to watch and closed their eyes.

Although that Pokémon was very cute, what could it do against a Dragon-type Pokémon?

Its fate would be the same as Vulpix's just now.

"It's over... Hahaha! It's finally over!"

Chang Mengda shouted excitedly. He had immense confidence in his Garchomp. Qiao Ran's victory over the Mightyena just now could be attributed to luck, but Garchomp was different; it was a Pokémon on another level.

In a battle between students, it could never lose!

The fierce shockwave, with an unstoppable momentum, struck Dianxi directly, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Rumble!"

A thunderous roar echoed through the arena. Seeing the devastated field, the homeroom teacher gripped his Poké Ball and stepped forward, ready to announce the match's result.

"Finally, it's over..."

"Wait. It's not over yet. It's not over."

However, a clear female voice suddenly rang out, stopping the homeroom teacher. It was the black-haired girl standing behind the dean.

As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on the center of the arena's dust cloud, a brilliant light flashing within them.

Following her gaze, the homeroom teacher also saw it. Within the dust cloud—the small Pokémon was still standing perfectly fine, as if it hadn't moved an inch or even been attacked at all.

Dianxi stood in the arena like a princess, dusting herself off. She blinked her eyes in confusion, as if unable to comprehend what her opponent had done.

"N-no way! This is impossible!"

Chang Mengda was about to break down. What was going on with this Pokémon??

Not only he, but the other students were also confused.

What... what was happening??? They had seen with their own eyes that the cute Pokémon hadn't taken any defensive measures!

As the entire crowd fell silent once more, Qiao Ran finally spoke.

"In the last attack, you made two mistakes."

He held up two fingers, drawing everyone's attention to him.

"First, although Garchomp is known as the 'Dragon's Disgrace,' its physical attacks are still considerable. However, the Dragon Pulse you just used is a special attack. You voluntarily gave up Garchomp's greatest advantage to use its weakness, which is a cardinal sin for a trainer."

"Second, my Dianxi is Fairy-type. If you had attended school, you would know that Dragon-type attacks have no effect on Fairy-types. This is also a trainer's cardinal sin. You don't even know type matchups; I'm very disappointed in you."

"And a third—Dianxi! It's our turn to counterattack now!"

Qiao Ran stared at his opponent, straightening his finger and pointing towards Garchomp.

"Counterattack begins!"

"Unleash Moon Power!! Moonblast!!!!"

Which hair color looks better? 0v0?

Section 6 006 [Dragon Slayer] (Requesting votes!)

As Qiao Ran spoke, Moon Power began to gather before Dianxi. The pure light scattered in all directions, a beauty that seemed otherworldly.

However, beneath that extraordinary beauty, immense power was building. Moon Power—one of the powerful Fairy-type moves, not only had a power level comparable to moves like Thunderbolt but also had a one-third chance of lowering the opponent's special attack by one stage, making it an essential move for finishing off opponents.

Most importantly, this was a Fairy-type STAB move for Dianxi. Not only did it receive a 1.5x damage bonus, but it also dealt a terrifying 2x damage to the pure Dragon-type Garchomp.

"Finish them, Dianxi!"

"Don't be afraid! Garchomp, use Slash!"

Seeing the moonlight gathering before Dianxi, Chang Mengda gritted his teeth, deciding to go head-to-head with the opponent.

Due to the arena's size, Garchomp had limited space to dodge. After all, this was an arena provided for students and didn't account for the possibility of large Pokémon battles. Therefore, Chang Mengda knew that even if he dodged, the chances were slim.

It was better to go head-to-head!

Let's settle this!

"Take that guy down! Go! Garchomp!"

Chang Mengda's final command made Qiao Ran glance at him, but that was all.

The charging Garchomp extended its claws towards Dianxi, its claws elongating. With a Slash, it struck Dianxi. However, Dianxi merely shook its head, showing no reaction. The hard claws scraped against Dianxi's diamond body, but not even a single scratch was left.

Faced with this scene, Qiao Ran added a taunt at the opportune moment.

"I forgot to tell you, besides being Fairy-type, Dianxi is also Rock-type. Normal-type moves will deal half damage, tsk tsk tsk."

"What?!" Chang Mengda was stunned again.

This... this was also within your calculations?!

—At the same time, Dianxi's Moon Power had condensed into a small, pure white orb and flew towards Garchomp's body.

Everyone in the arena could swear they only saw a small sphere, but when it impacted Garchomp's body at considerable speed, the towering dragon let out an unprecedented scream.

Moon Power, with its 2x type advantage, was not something to be trifled with.

"Aoooooo!"

Garchomp let out a pained cry, supporting itself on the ground with its thick, long forelimbs. The entire dragon was almost prostrate on the ground, panting heavily, as if it were at its limit.

However, being close to the limit and being completely defeated were two different things. This Garchomp actually managed to endure.

"Didn't take it down in one hit...?"

Qiao Ran showed a slightly surprised expression. "Hmm... I guess there's still a difference in levels?"

This was unexpected for Qiao Ran, but also within reason. After all, despite Dianxi's strong individual stats, Dianxi was currently only a level 5 baby.

That's right, only level 5.

As a benefit from last night, Qiao Ran was allowed to choose one of his former partners. These partners were born with their previous movesets and held items. However, as a trade-off, their initial level was capped at level 5, and even their affection would need to be cultivated from scratch.

In stark contrast to Dianxi was the opponent's level… Qiao Ran seized the opportunity to sneakily take out his Rotom Phone and snap a picture of the Garchomp opposite him. The device immediately displayed the opponent's level – level 26.

Level 26!

This was blatant bullying!

Seeing this number, Qiao Ran couldn't help but tremble with anger, cold sweat breaking out all over his body despite the hot weather, leaving his hands and feet icy. Could this match even be considered fair? Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably. This match was filled with oppression against Dianxi; when would Dianxi ever truly stand up!

And his Vulpix was only level 12, yet the opponent had directly sent out a Pokémon of this level!

Damn it!

"Dianxi, finish it off."

Adhering to the good tradition of striking an opponent while they're down, the furious (and victory-obsessed) Qiao Ran gave the command to finish the job. Dianxi nodded, and Moon Power struck again. Although Dianxi didn't have a speed advantage, under the barrage of Moon Power, the Garchomp soon fell.

"Boom!"

The Garchomp's massive body toppled onto the ground, its eyes spinning with familiar dizzy spirals.

The sound of the Garchomp falling woke everyone up. They all seemed to snap out of a dream, letting out gasps of astonishment.

What... happened?

Garchomp... lost?

Not only could Chang Mengda not believe it, but even the onlookers couldn't believe it. However, when they saw the adorable Pokémon still standing in the arena, they had no choice but to accept the reality.

Lost!

Garchomp had truly lost!

At the same time, a series of numbers flashed on the Rotom Phone. Dianxi's level increased level by level, finally stopping at level 10.
