Why Does Your Fire Go Out After One Gust?

Shao De watched with a twisted expression as Sceptile used Leaf Storm to disperse the eerie blue flames in front of Heatmor, barely suppressing the urge to question Heiduo.

How was that possible?!

Sceptile had dropped two Special Attack stages after using [Leaf Storm] once, yet it could still use [Leaf Storm] to disperse the flames?!

Something had to be wrong!

Heatmor shared his thoughts.

What the hell was going on?!

The flames it took such pride in had been blown away twice!

Twice!

Was there something wrong with this Grass-type Pokémon?

The audience also began commenting with great interest.

"Sceptile's Leaf Storm blew away the flames both times. That means there's a huge gap between their levels!"

"It's fast too! All this guy's Pokémon are really fast!"

"I'm from Area C! I've seen him before! His Pokémon crush every opponent!"

"He's probably a favorite to win! He's way too different from these ordinary contestants!"

"Which school is this talent from?"

"So Sceptile could actually be this powerful?"

That came from a trainer who owned a Sceptile. Clearly, his Sceptile was not very impressive.

Still, Shao De and Heatmor had roughly the same thought.

Could a Pokémon like Sceptile really be this strong?

However, Sceptile gave Heatmor no time to react. Without a second thought, he swung Leaf Blade at Heatmor!

The half-effective move was not enough to deal much damage to Heatmor. Combined with Sceptile's merely average physical Attack, Heatmor only winced briefly before remaining unharmed.

Low move proficiency was still low move proficiency, but the base stats of an Energy Level sixty-five Pokémon were there for all to see. They were still considerable, at least enough that Leaf Blade could not casually take him down.

"Geeeen!"

Sceptile was delighted that he had failed to finish off his opponent.
