The fourth pyer was defeated, so Shu Uy's team sent out the fifth pyer. A mier, the oppo's Feraligatr fell.

  The sixth match was Gengar versus Metagross, whided in a minute.

  The seventh match featured Hariyama versus Metagross, and that ended in a minute and a half.

  The eighth match, Mega Ampharos versus Metagross, it went down after three minutes.

  Now it was the ninth round: Garp versus Metagross.

  "Metagross, Giga Impact!"

  "Garp, Dragon Rush!"

  "Boom!"

  The violent collisio shockwaves that felt like the sky was tearing apart. The air waves swept around, causing the battlefield's protective barrier to ripple.

  "Garp loses its ability to fight; Metagross wins!"

  Five mier, Metagross had defeated the ninth member of the Shu Uy exge team.

  The supporters from Shu Uy were silent, staring at the defeated Garp. It was hard for them to believe that it had only sted five minutes, especially siagross had already fought eight secutive battles.

  The live broadcast's ents shifted from excitement to disbelief: "What is happening? Amazing! 666! I'm kneeling in awe!"

  The cheer squad at Imperial Uy was already close to celebrating victory, but instead of getting louder, their voices started to fade. They were nearly out of energy to keep cheering.

  Whether from Imperial Uy, Shu Uy, or other colleges, everyone shared a sihought as they looked at Julian standing on the field.

  'Is this guy still human?'

  None of the exge team members from Shu Uy were weak; in any other school, they could have beeop freshman.

  Yet here, Julian aagross were taking them down one by one, as easily as choppiables.

  It was f**king eous. It felt like something out of a sce fiovie, witnessing the impossible unfht in front of them.

  Even Luis and the others from Imperial College looked stuhey knew Julian was strong, having faced him before.

  The six of them had challenged him at the start, realizing just how powerful Julian's Metagross was. It was s that the st four challengers had ged their strategies, letting Juliaher Pokémon, so they never saw how far Metagross could really go.

  Even today, Metagross had taken down nine Pokémon in a row, some having Mega Evolved, some were pseudo-legendaries, and some with type restraints, although it had taken some hits.

  But, its limits still remained unknown.

  Could anyo Metagross or push it to its limits? that remaio be seen.

  Many spectators now focused o member of the Shu Uy exge team. She had short hair and an attractive face. As she walked onto the battlefield, there was a weight on her shoulders.

  She was the representative freshman of Shu Uy, she was arrao go st as she was meant to face off against the representative freshman of Imperial Capital Uy.

  But she had never imagihat the person in charge of the opposing exge team would let their top student go first—and that he'd defeat eam members in a row, still standing strong at the end.

  After this mato matter if she won or lost against Julian, Imperial Uy would be seen as superior to Shu Uy in terms of reputation.

  Unless she could defeat Julian and, like him, take down the remaining nine members of Imperial College, there was no way to turide.

  Shu and Imperial Uy had always been rivals, each taking victories as from the other, but never before had the gap felt so wide as it did today.

  What was worse, many spectators felt as if Imperial Uy was battling a third-rate Uy, which had lead to such a one-sided situation.

  "Acacia Willow!"

  "What's wrong? Feeling the fear of being dominated again?" Luis teased with a grin.

  The Willow and Drake families were known for their Id Dragon types, respectively, each trolling special advanced secret realms—the Land of Extreme Id the Dragon's Den. These secret realms were simir to the Walker family's Oreburgh Great Wall, where Pokémon of the same type thrived.

  It might be due to the natural type disadvantage.

  The young members of the Drake family often found themselves outmatched by those from the Willow family.

  In case of having simir levels, Dragon-type Pokémowo times weaker to Ice-type moves. O from aype move usually left them either half-HP or critically hurt; in worst cases, they might be taken out instantly.

  As members of the younger geion in their respective families, Ian and Acacia had iably cshed many times.

  "Twenty battles, twenty defeats. You really are on a losing streak," Luis joked.

  Luis's family, was also from the imperial capital and known as aype family, had a close retionship with the Willow family. Because of this, Luis was very familiar with the rivalry between Ian and Acacia.

  "Shut up!"

  Ian shouted in anger, as he tried to cover Luis's mouth.

  Twenty battles and twenty defeats was not something honorable, yet Luis ti it up.

  Seeing Hugo, Walter, Gucci, and others looking at him strangely, Ian really wao kill Luis right this moment.

  "It's not a secret," Luis retorted.

  The children of the local families in the imperial capital basically knew about this, but those from outside, like Walter and Gucci didn't.

  However, now that they were all at Imperial Uy, the grievances between Ian and Acacia would be hard to kept hidden for long.

  "But don't worry, this time my brother Walker will get revenge for you a this woman thhly," Luis said.

  Before, he had thought Julian's cim of wanting to beat ten was a joke, but now he realized he was the joke.

  "That woman is not parable to the first nine; her Vanilluxe is very strong."

  Just thinking about Acacia using Ice-type moves made Ian uneasy. He recalled how his Samence had been turned in a block of Ice, and his expression turned ugly.

  "My sed type iure will be Fire-type, and it will definitely beat her."

  Thinking about his choice of a sed type, Ia fident again.

  Just then, Luis's voice broke in.

  "Didn't you know? Acacia's sed type is Water."

  Id Water types were closely reted. Many Ice-type trainers often chose Water as their sed type, and vice versa.

  After all, there was a lot in oween id water.

  "Then I'll choose Electric"

  Ian looked embarrassed, and immediately ged his words.

  Anyway, his choice of a sedary typing was based on tering Acacia's sed type, so he could absolutely restrain her, ensuring that she would feel the fear of being at a disadvantage.

  "Hugo, what are you looking at?"

  Ian s Hugo, who was looking at him oddly, and thought that he must be ughing at him.

  "Why not choose Steel as your sed type?" Hugo suggested.

  Steel-types dealt twice the damage to Ice-types, while taking normal damage from Water-type moves.

  Ian: (ˉ□ˉ;).
