Surpassing the Master!

The haughty Serperior lifted its chin and looked down at the Leafeon opposite it with a disdainful gaze.

As a Grass-type Pokémon, Serperior could naturally feel the scorching sunlight pouring down from above. Yet it did not feel uncomfortable in the slightest.

However, N clearly had not intended to seize victory with Yawn alone. It merely created
