Boom—
A thunderous explosion suddenly erupted, the powerful sound waves making everyone's eardrums ache. This blast also marked the end of the second match. Just as everyone had expected, Hao Er's brother-in-law, who used Electric-type Pokémon, lost the match.
On the battlefield, a cold wind howled past, sweeping up bits of ice from the ground and adding an extra touch of bleakness to the tense arena.
The three Electric-type Pokémon looked somewhat bedraggled on the field. Their fur had been whipped into disarray by the wind, and their bodies were covered in charred marks.
Although Hao Er's brother-in-law had commanded all kinds of flashy tactics, the innate suppression of type disadvantage was simply too overwhelming, especially in a full Three-on-Three battle.
Xiao Dan handled the match with ease, calmly directing his Pokémon. Against the Electric-type attacks, his Pokémon had far too many ways to defeat the opponent's three Electric-types. After all, Electric-types had obvious weaknesses. It would have been nearly impossible for him to lose this match.
"Old Dragon Head, your son-in-law lost." Grandpa A Yi had finally won one back, his face filled with unconcealed delight. He reached out and lightly poked Hao Er's grandfather, the gesture carrying a hint of teasing.
That old man had laughed at him earlier. Now someone from the other man's family had lost too. Since they were both in the same boat, he no longer cared much about his earlier defeat. He even felt the urge to laugh. What goes around comes around!
"Hey, don't get cocky. There's still another match." Hao Er's grandfather looked unconcerned, folding his arms across his chest and raising his chin slightly, his eyes calm.
After all, Hao Er was the one his family focused on training. A son-in-law was just a son-in-law. Becoming an Elite Four Trainer
