Smack!
Before Espeon could unleash Dazzling Gleam, Crawdaunt's claw had already struck Espeon.
With a dull thud, Espeon was sent flying backward.
It then crashed heavily onto the ground.
"Espeon has lost its ability to battle. Please switch Pokémon!"
After quickly checking Espeon's condition, the referee raised the flag in his hand and announced the result.
"Doesn't it feel like he's gotten a lot stronger again?"
Seeing Crawdaunt defeat Espeon, Zhuge Ci spoke in confusion from the stands.
"You're not mistaken. He really has improved a great deal."
Alvarez nodded slightly. After defeating old man Wang Yi, Lu Ze's improvement had become quite obvious.
When he battled that fellow Wang Yi, he had not switched Pokémon nearly so frequently.
He maximized his own advantages while constantly reading his opponent's moves, using that to seize the upper hand.
That was Lu Ze's improvement.
Just look at the current situation.
As the world's number one, Ludwig had already lost two Pokémon.
Zoroark and Espeon had both been defeated by Lu Ze through type advantages.
Although Zoroark's defeat had involved a bit of luck.
But luck was also a kind of strength.
A win was a win.
It was not just Zhuge Ci and old man Wang Yi who thought so. Ludwig also looked at Lu Ze in surprise.
Lu Ze's rate of improvement was truly obvious.
He had completely guessed Ludwig's intentions, then defeated two of his Pokémon through switching rotations.
However, Ludwig had not become world number one with just this much ability.
He had truly possessed the strength to defeat old man Wang Yi.
"Go, Gengar!"
Ludwig smiled faintly and sent out his Gengar.
Lu Ze gave Ludwig a strange look, unable to understand why he had chosen Gengar.
After all, Gengar was also weak to Dark type moves.
