He only had to wound his opponent, who would not even use any moves. The condition sounded very simple, but Cheng Tian could think with his backside and still know it would not be that easy.
A level 62 Kingambit was an astonishing presence even among the Elite Four. Moreover, the evolution requirements for this kind of Pokémon were extremely stringent. Every Kingambit had fought a hundred battles, licked blades and seen blood, before finally standing out amid the competition among Bisharp to become a Kingambit, one in ten thousand.
