Hu Bin walked straight toward the stage.
He looked at Luo Jun with undisguised disdain. You want to gang up on me? You're not worthy. Today, I'll use you as stepping stones to prove myself.
Luo Jun seethed at the look on Hu Bin's face. Does he really think so little of me? No wonder my goddess, Ye Roumei, hates him so much. He's insufferable.
Luo Jun said to Hu Bin, "Come on, Hu Bin. Let's battle!"
Hu Bin merely nodded without even raising his eyes.
"Mm."
Hu Bin's attitude left Luo Jun fuming!
The referee took his position and announced, "The Champion selection challenge begins! The challenger is Luo Jun, and the defending contestant is Hu Bin. This will be a six-on-six match. Begin!"
Unlike his senior fellow disciple, Ye Roumei, Luo Jun specialized in Water-type Pokémon.
For his first Pokémon, Luo Jun sent out Vaporeon, Eevee's evolution through the use of a Water Stone.
But a moment later, Luo Jun's eyes filled with horror!
Without another word, Hu Bin sent Zacian straight into battle!
The crowd erupted. Hu Bin wasn't playing by the usual rules-he had brought out Zacian right from the start.
Luo Jun felt utterly sick. Aren't you supposed to save that one for last? Why send it out so early?
Li Lusheng and Hu Jiaxing shook their heads with a chuckle. Hu Bin was ruthless. He intended to steamroll every one of these Elite Four members who were scheming behind his back!
The match officially began, and before Luo Jun could issue a command, Hu Bin had Zacian attack.
A single Sacred Sword struck Vaporeon head-on.
Vaporeon was sent flying, unable to battle.
Without lifting his head, Hu Bin said, "Next!"
Terror filled Luo Jun's eyes. *Hu Bin isn't giving me a chance at all.
