Winning

At this moment, she began to feel nervous. She knew how powerful Beedrill's move was, and she wasn't sure whether Solrock could withstand it.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had last felt this way.

Beads of sweat slid down her forehead.

Thump, thump!!

Mina could clearly hear her own heartbeat.

Everyone in the audience was also staring intently, waiting for the result.

The victor would be decided this time. Even the leaders in the VIP Stand were unusually nervous.

Director Nakamura and Director Liu both gripped their armrests tightly.

They looked calm on the surface, but their hearts were anything but tranquil.

A great wind swept through, dispersing the dust as sunlight streamed in.

At last, everyone could see what was happening inside.

Solrock was embedded in the deep crater, swaying continuously before slowly floating out of it.

Not far away, Beedrill hovered in midair. Its body was also covered in wounds; it was clear that it had not come through the previous attack unscathed.

Beedrill panted heavily. It was utterly exhausted and wanted nothing more than to find a place to lie down, no matter what happened afterward.

But it couldn't. It had something it needed to do, so it could only hold on through sheer willpower.

When she saw Solrock rise into the air, Mina visibly breathed a sigh of relief. At least it hadn't lost its ability to battle.

Just as she was about to tell Solrock to attack—

"Sol—"

Before she could say the second half of its name, Solrock's body stopped in midair and fell toward the ground.

Bang!!

It hit the ground and lost its ability to battle.

When Beedrill saw Solrock fall to the ground and lose its ability to battle, it also relaxed. It was finally over.
