Hu Jiaxing's expression softened a little after watching Hu Bin's battle video. Hmph, that brat was pretty capable!
Hu Bin continued searching for his next victim, working toward his fourth star.
"Looking, looking, looking for an opponent! Find a good opponent, have a battle, win a star-we're all good opponents!"
Hu Bin wandered aimlessly in search of an opponent. Battles didn't scare him; what scared him most was having no one to battle.
Before long, Hu Bin found a Pokémon Trainer with a Magcargo and challenged them.
This Pokémon Trainer was positively loaded, already boasting five stars. They had clearly won quite a few battles.
Hu Bin said, "Let's battle!"
The Pokémon Trainer took one look at Hu Bin, decided he seemed like an easy target, and readily agreed.
The Pokémon Trainer sent out their Magcargo, while Hu Bin sent out his Froakie.
Froakie appeared with an imposing air.
After all, a tournament like this called for showing off every aspect of one's strength!
But as the spectators in the Arena watched Hu Bin and Froakie on the big screen, they couldn't help discussing them.
"Is this a joke? Is this Pokémon Trainer here to mess around? Going out last was bad enough, but his Pokémon are still in their first forms. Only that Dragonair looks a little stronger."
"Exactly. This Pokémon Trainer probably won't make the top thirty-two. He'll be knocked out soon!"
None of the spectators thought much of Hu Bin's chances!
The battle had already begun, and the Pokémon Trainer launched the first attack. "Go, Magcargo! Use Flamethrower!"
Hu Bin smiled faintly. That was it?
"Froakie, use Water Pulse!"
Froakie hurled out a Water Pulse, its overwhelming power extinguishing the Flamethrower outright!
The remaining force of the Water Pulse struck Magcargo directly.
