Shocking One-Hit KO! Champion! Rewards Secured!

"Both Pokémon are in position. Begin!"

"Gaaah!!"

The moment the referee spoke, Magmortar puffed out his belly.

Belly Drum!

The move consumed half his stamina to raise his physical attack to its maximum, a 300% increase.

As Belly Drum drained his stamina, the flames around Magmortar began to burn fiercely.

It was a sign that he had started recovering rapidly.

"He didn't attack?"

Zhu Mingze was a little surprised to see his Magmortar use Belly Drum without interference.

From what he had seen in earlier matches, shouldn't Mu Yun's Beedrill have rushed in to strike?

Against someone else's Pokémon, such as Liu Hesheng's Ceruledge or Ling Ruijie's Weavile, Mu Yun would not have interfered with Xiao Du's surprise-attack tactics.

But this time, his opponent was Zhu Mingze's Magmortar.

The special boost called Nirvana Phoenix Fire really was powerful.

Its recovery was especially troublesome. Once the fight became a battle of attrition, the odds of losing were high.

For other people's Pokémon, that was.

Judging by Xiao Du's stats, victory was assured even in a drawn-out fight.

But...

Mu Yun glanced at the darkening sky.

They had taken a boat out to sea that morning, returned by boat that afternoon, and gone straight into battle afterward.

After everything that had happened, even Deer City was dim now, and the lights around them had long since come on.

If the fight dragged on, dinner would be delayed again.

So Mu Yun had told Xiao Du how to handle this match before it began.

He would not attack after a single Focus Energy.

He would build Focus Energy all the way up, then end it in one move!

"Bzz!!"

As the people around him watched in confusion or curiosity, the space around Xiao Du seemed to twist, streams of air swirling rapidly around
