Chapter 144: Chapter 144: This First Place, Forget It Then!
Under the surprised gaze of the bespectacled trainer, the green petite Pokemon, Smoliv, swaggeringly appeared on one side of the field.
After a period of growth, Smoliv's personality had already become much stronger than before.
Facing Swinub, Smoliv didn't look scared at all, directly starting off with a Leech Seed and throwing it over.
Pa-ta~
With a light sound, Smoliv's Leech Seed successfully hit Swinub, deeply rooting in Swinub's bristly fur, spreading out a mass of branches and leaves.
"You're actually letting Smoliv battle?", The bespectacled trainer looked at Axel in disbelief.
"Yes, this little guy is very strong."
"Smoliv… strong…", The bespectacled trainer's mouth twitched, completely unable to associate those two words.
Facing Smoliv, he didn't even have the desire to go on the offensive.
'Isn't this just two shots of Ice Shard?'
Even if there's Leech Seed, it won't absorb anything.
"Swinub, use Dig to avoid the opponent's attack, then use Ice Shard to smash it."
Seeing Swinub was about to use Dig, the Steelix floating in the sky moved its mind and thinned the steel ground of the field where Axel and others were located.
"Snore~"
Swinub sleepily nodded, gently nudging open the ground with its nose, planning to hide underground and fight a positional battle with Smoliv.
Seeing the opponent's movement, Axel grinned.
Under his instructions, the little loli focused almost all of Smoliv's training on both defenses.
Plus the time the opponent wasted digging, Smoliv had plenty of time to gamble on double defense enhancement.
"Eat the berry."
"Smol~"
Smoliv obediently took out a berry and bit down on it in big gulps.
After not seeing each other for a while, the little guy's eating speed was much faster than before.
In just a few seconds, two upward glowing rings appeared, the little guy's speed was greatly enhanced.
At the same time, Swinub's trainer's Ice Shard move was also successfully launched.
Mist spread in front of him, quickly condensing into a basketball-sized ice ball, flying toward Smoliv with a whistling sound.
"Smoliv, dodge."
The moment Axel's words fell, Smoliv's two short little legs moved crazily, visually even resembling two small green whirlwinds.
The Ice Shard hit the field, smashing out a small pit.
"You actually used an item to boost speed? Junior, you're pretty rich huh," Swinub's trainer crazily teased Axel.
In normal battles, few people use stat-boosting items.
Axel nodded without any mental burden, "Just so-so, not wealthy, but enough."
"Smoliv, eat again."
"Pff~", Swinub's trainer sneered, thinking Axel was just countering his mockery.
'The referee's right here, you really dare to use two items?'
But in the next moment, Swinub's trainer was stunned.
'This guy actually took out another Star Peach Berry?'
"Referee, is this allowed?"
Swinub's trainer looked confusedly at the referee, even forgetting he was still in a battle.
The referee checked the match data, suspiciously staring at the judge's assistant device, his two hands checking information so fast they left afterimages.
A few seconds later, the conclusion came, "The opponent's Ability is Harvest, conforms to the battle procedure. Swinub's trainer, please continue the battle."
"Harvest?", Swinub's trainer scratched his head hard. As a college student, why had his teacher never taught him there was such an Ability?
Was his nine years of compulsory education a lie?
While he was in a daze, two upward light rings appeared again on Smoliv's body.
Speed once again got a massive boost.
Looking at Smoliv, whose body was like an afterimage, Swinub clearly panicked.
Looking back at its own trainer, its small eyes were full of panic and helplessness.
'How are we supposed to fight this, trainer? The other side looks like they're cheating.'
"Use Mud Shot to lower its speed!"
Smoliv blinked and easily dodged the Mud Shot with her speed advantage, once again taking out a Star Peach Berry.
With the level increase, her ability to trigger her Ability was much stronger than before.
Even without sunny weather, she could easily generate a berry within ten seconds.
Two light rings appeared, Smoliv's defense greatly increased.
Axel and Smoliv both lit up with excitement.
After running for so long, finally time for a counterattack.
"Smoliv, charge up and...", Halfway through speaking, Axel slightly choked. He suddenly remembered he didn't know what offensive moves this little guy even had.
Ever since her debut, she seemed to just use her fists to knock opponents out.
"Charge up and punch him!"
"Smol!"
Smoliv's gaze instantly sharpened, quickly closing in on Swinub, landing a heavy punch.
Nothing happened.
Swinub looked confusedly at Smoliv, 'Bro, are you giving me a massage?'
The next second, two upward light rings again emerged from Smoliv's body.
BANG!
At the moment the fist fell, a big bump rose on Swinub's body.
Smoliv showed a cute smile at Swinub.
'Little piggy, is this still a massage now?'
Watching the battle on the field, the nearby observing trainers all gasped sharply.
Wasn't this school's trainers supposed to specialize in status conditions?
Why is their buffing game also this inhuman.
At this rate, they even felt like Smoliv could fully max out all her buffs...
In the following battle, Smoliv transformed directly into a war god, madly rushing the opponent.
With enhanced Defense and Special Defense, Swinub felt like no matter how he resisted, he was hitting a rock-solid wall.
Yet Smoliv's fists dealt serious damage to Swinub.
In the end, Swinub hid in the hole, hoping to stall as long as possible.
But he soon despairingly realized, Smoliv was smaller than him, and the hole he dug, Smoliv could chase right in...
"Referee, I surrender!"
———
This bizarre battle quickly spread throughout Ninox University, especially in the cafeteria, where nearly everyone was discussing the fight.
"Bro, did you hear? In today's match someone used a Smoliv to rush Swinub head-on."
"Of course I heard. That Dream Trait Smoliv is way too fierce. Beat Carell so badly he surrendered before even sending out his second and third Pokémon."
Hearing these words while pondering how to win first place, Gary couldn't help but shiver uncontrollably.
'Didn't Axel retire? How come he's in the tournament?'
'Forget first place then.'
