Oh no! Luo Chenye immediately realized he was in trouble.
"Energy Ball!" Liu Qing seized the opportunity to give his command.
Chandelure responded at once. An emerald-green sphere rapidly formed and shot through the air, striking Gigalith squarely on the back of the neck before exploding with a boom. The blast swept outward, and Gigalith gave a muffled roar as its figure emerged from the dispersing smoke. Green threads of light flickered across its body, and it looked weakened.
"Good luck-the additional effect triggered on the first hit!" The corners of Liu Qing's mouth lifted slightly.
"Chandelure's Energy Ball hit! It's super effective!" Zhuguang immediately shouted. Just then, the transparent barrier of Trick Room, which had vanished from sight, reappeared. With a soft pop, it shattered into countless specks of light and dispersed. Seeing this, Zhuguang explained what had happened.
"What a shame!" Youxing watched Luo Chenye and Gigalith. They had been no match for Chandelure even with Trick Room active; winning now was nothing but a pipe dream. His eyes filled with disappointment, which then turned into humiliation and anger as he grumbled.
"You still wanted to take this opportunity to defeat Liu Qing and achieve a breakthrough?" Xun Chaoze asked, glancing at Youxing.
"That's right. None of Liu Qing's three Pokémon this time are on his main team. They aren't even second-string. If I were out there, I'd definitely avenge what happened that day!" Youxing said through gritted teeth.
"Tch!" Xun Chaoze scoffed disdainfully. "With that mindset, you still want revenge? You still want a breakthrough? You're just picking on the weak and fearing the strong. You want to defeat Liu Qing in front of everyone while he's at his weakest. With that attitude, even if you brought out your entire main team, you wouldn't stand a chance
