Sneasel only needed to hold a Razor Claw and level up at night to evolve.
Yet Xiaojing's Sneasel was already level 35 and still hadn't evolved. Either he had deliberately kept it that way as a trump card, or he was far too naive...
Fighting-type Pokémon had a fourfold type advantage against the Dark- and Ice-type Sneasel.
In other words, this match was already decided!
Seeing Xiaojing send out a Sneasel while still acting so arrogantly, even someone as straightforward and good-natured as Bruno couldn't help twitching at the corners of his mouth. Still, he didn't dwell on it. He laughed heartily a few times, then threw out his Pokémon Ball.
"As expected! A man with dreams is full of courage! Then I accept your challenge! Take a good look at our overwhelming strength!"
At that moment, a strange aura rose around Bruno-fierce and wild!
In the stands, several members of the Elite Four exchanged glances and nodded with smiles. Blaine looked at Will and said,
"You've kept this well hidden, Will! This boy, Bruno, has already reached the Aura stage, hasn't he?"
Will nodded calmly.
"Just a stroke of luck!"
"Hahahaha!"
Blaine laughed.
"What exceptional talent! I imagine his Pokémon won't disappoint us either!"
On the other side, Yong silently nodded as well. As expected of the future Fighting-type Elite Four member, Bruno truly was a man who constantly pushed beyond his limits!
A dazzling flash of light swept across the battlefield, and a slender Pokémon appeared before the crowd.
Its body was light brown, and it wore pale purple warrior armor with boxing gloves on both hands.
Although its frame looked thin, its taut muscles and eyes blazing with fighting spirit made its formidable strength clear!
The indomitable demon of striking techniques, Hitmonchan!
