Everyone watched as Quilava slammed heavily into the ground with a bang, the flames around him extinguished, his fate unknown!
"Quilava!"
The dust cleared. Both Pokémon lay fallen on the devastated Rock Terrain.
Morikawa Minako rushed straight over to Quilava and quickly recalled him into his Poké Ball.
The Rotom Pokédex immediately announced, "Quilava successfully forced Graveler to use Self-Destruct, but also lost the ability to battle."
"Girl, you went through all that for nothing!"
Wang Yao covered his face with a wry smile. He had never expected Quilava to be defeated so directly right after taking the field.
"That was very good. Forcing him to use Self-Destruct meant half the job was done."
Ye Qing thought otherwise. A Golem with Self-Destruct on the field would have posed a threat to Milotic, too. This was the best possible outcome.
The Rotom Pokédex raised its flag and announced, "Golem is also unable to battle. Next contestant, please take the field!"
At such a dramatic turn of events, everyone in the gymnasium looked on in disbelief. They had never expected the newly arrived Quilava to be knocked straight out by Self-Destruct.
The terrain changed. The devastated Rock Terrain was removed, and Water Terrain consisting entirely of water was brought up next. Numerous plastic platforms floated on the surging water, providing footing for Pokémon of other types.
"Senior, I'm going."
Ye Yunyin stood up, ready to have a match against Ye Qing.
"No, perhaps we were all wrong. This Ye Qing is the strongest person at Shanhai No. 1 High School. I'll take this battle. I want to fight him fair and square!"
Xiao Qingyun smiled, snapped his folding fan shut, and got up to walk forward.
"But..."
Ye Yunyin had wanted to say she would go first to test Ye Qing's strength
