Carbink's Crushing Victory

At five in the afternoon, Su Hao and Incineroar fought three more battles and won them all.

Su Hao planned to do one more match before heading home. Since Incineroar had already fought three consecutive battles, he decided to give this opportunity to Carbink.

After watching matches all day, Carbink was eager to give it a try and could not wait to battle.

As naturally combative creatures, most Pokémon generally would not refuse a fight.

The sixth match took unusually long to find. Su Hao waited a full half hour before being matched.

Because of Su Hao's winning streak, quite a few spectators had gathered around Battle Arena No. 13.

While waiting for his opponent, several elderly men and women kept striking up conversations with Su Hao, all with the same idea in mind.

Did he have a girlfriend? Did he need them to introduce one to him?

Though the elderly men and women were terrifyingly persistent, Su Hao had only battles on his mind and no interest in romance.

Faced with Su Hao, who was as immovable as a statue, the elderly men and women could only give up on matchmaking him.

After waiting for a long time, with the time limit nearly over, Su Hao's opponent finally arrived.

By then, because Su Hao's opponent had taken so long to show up, quite a few people had already left the stands at Battle Arena No. 13.

The late opponent was a young man with a dyed punk hairstyle, dressed in a Social Shake Suit.

The young man had a flippant attitude. Not only did he fail to apologize for being late, but he looked Su Hao up and down before arrogantly saying, "Huh!? My opponent is just some student who hasn't even grown all his hair yet?"

"Students should act like students. Hurry back to school and drink milk. This is an adult's territory!"

Su Hao did not respond to the punk-haired youth's provocation.

Through his Wave Power, he could sense that the young man simply wanted to anger him and make him lose his cool.

No matter how the punk-haired youth provoked him, silent Su Hao gave no response.

After a while, finding it boring, the punk-haired youth walked to the opposite side of Su Hao and took out a Poké Ball. "Since you won't talk, I'll defeat you in battle instead."

Su Hao silently took out a Poké Ball. A flash of red light appeared, and Carbink emerged onto the Battle Arena.

Seeing Carbink, the punk-haired youth raised his brows and threw out the Poké Ball in his hand.

An Early Elite Level Scizor appeared on the field.

Pokémon: [Scizor]

Type: [Bug, Steel]

Gender: [♂]

Ability: [Swarm]

Level: [30]

Moves: [Bullet Punch, False Swipe, Wing Attack, Agility, Quick Attack, Fury Swipes, Metal Claw]

No wonder the punk-haired youth had been so confident.

An Elite Level Scizor was more than enough to make him nearly unbeatable in Poké Ball Tier battles.

Carbink, standing on the Battle Arena, was extremely angry. From inside her Poké Ball, she had seen the punk-haired youth constantly insulting her Trainer. She wanted to crush him completely with her strength.

Through Telepathy, Su Hao learned that Carbink was angry on his behalf, and his heart warmed.

Since even his Pokémon felt that way, Su Hao decided to let the punk-haired youth learn in battle that there was always someone stronger.

[This match has been recognized as an official Poké Ball Tier match of the Divine Land Alliance Pokémon Ranked Matches.]

[The two sides are Su Hao Vs. Zhang Yang.]

[Poké Ball Tier battles use one Pokémon.]

[Battle, begin!]

As Referee Rotom announced the start of the match, Su Hao immediately instructed Carbink to set up Reflect.

The punk-haired youth refused to be outdone and ordered Scizor to rush toward Carbink with Quick Attack.

"Use Bullet Punch!"

Scizor had evolved from Scyther using Metal Coat. After evolving, the scythes on its arms had become pincers, but its attack power had not decreased in the slightest.

Facing Scizor's heavy pincer strike, Su Hao also ordered Carbink to use Dazzling Gleam and clash head-on with Scizor.

Seeing Su Hao order Carbink to attack Scizor with a Fairy-type move, the punk-haired youth nearly laughed aloud.

"No way, you're a student, yet you don't even know that Fairy is resisted by Steel?"

"Look carefully for yourself," Su Hao replied calmly.

On the field, Carbink used Dazzling Gleam to clash with Scizor's Metal Claw without giving an inch.

Despite using a move with halved effectiveness, she firmly suppressed Scizor.

"How is that possible!? They're both Elite Level Pokémon, so how can your Carbink suppress my Scizor?"

No matter how fast Scizor was, it had no way to respond while being completely suppressed by Carbink in strength.

Bang!

Within a few breaths, Carbink and Scizor clashed dozens more times.

This time, Scizor could no longer endure Carbink's pressure and retreated from her attack range with several backward leaps.

"How can Scizor lose in a contest of strength to a Fairy-type Pokémon it resists?" The punk-haired youth looked embarrassed.

Just moments ago, he had boasted that he would crush Su Hao, yet now the battle had become completely one-sided. He could not save face at all.

The punk-haired youth racked his brains but could not think of any way to turn the tide.

Seeing the punk-haired youth stop attacking, Su Hao had no intention of dragging things out either.

"Carbink, Stockpile, then use Meteor Beam at full power!"

"What!?"

Cosmic starlight fell upon Carbink. The starlight shimmered alongside her diamonds, while the diamond atop her head began gathering a terrifying beam of energy.

"What move is that!?" The punk-haired youth had never seen Meteor Beam, but his instincts told him it was dangerous.

"Scizor, use Agility and dodge it!" The punk-haired youth hurriedly gave the order, hoping Scizor's speed would let it avoid Meteor Beam.

"Futile!"

Scizor turned into an afterimage, frantically dodging around the field.

However, every position Scizor moved to was completely captured by Su Hao's Wave Power.

Su Hao used his Wave Power to help Carbink lock onto Scizor.

A few seconds later, the fully charged Meteor Beam erupted as a pillar of energy, accurately striking Scizor as it moved through the air at high speed.

The violent power of the energy beam poured down onto Scizor.

After a moment, Meteor Beam ended, and Scizor crashed heavily to the ground, smoke rising from its body.

"How could this be..." The punk-haired youth sat on the ground in a daze, unable to accept that he had actually lost.

[Battle over. Scizor is Out of Battle!]

[Therefore, the winners are Trainer Su Hao and Carbink!]

After waiting for Referee Rotom to finish announcing the result, Su Hao ignored the punk-haired youth sitting on the ground in a daze.

He recalled Carbink into her Poké Ball and slowly walked out of Battle Arena No. 13.
