Pokémon: A Strong Man from the Slums

Chapter 497: 8 in a row in the quarterfinals! !

Wang Chen's gaze lingered on the Flash Flame Ace for a moment. It was a kind of scrutiny and also a kind of respect.

He knows very well that the elves behind every trainer are the crystallization of their hard work and dreams.

Even when there is a huge disparity in strength, they can still show admirable fighting spirit and courage.

Facing Hep's Flame Ace, Wang Chen smiled with a hint of subtle admiration: "This Flame Ace is indeed a fierce warrior. If it weren't for the difference in level, it might really be able to stage a evenly matched contest with the Dragon King Scorpion."

However, reality is always cruel.

The gap in level, like an insurmountable abyss, lies between the two elves.

Wang Chen's words revealed a kind of cold rationality: "But unfortunately, the outcome of this battle has been determined from the beginning. The strength of the Dragon King Scorpion is far beyond your Flash Flame Ace."

Then, Wang Chen gave the order, which was concise and direct: "Dragon King Scorpion, quickly approach the Flash Flame Ace, and then use the Cross Poison Blade."

This is a contest of strength and speed, and the King Scorpion is undoubtedly the best in this regard.

It obeyed the order and instantly increased its speed to the limit, like a black lightning, instantly approaching the Flash Ace.

The Flash Ace will naturally not sit still and wait for death. It mobilizes all the flames and physical strength in its body to fight against the attacking King Dragon Scorpion.

The two collided on the battlefield, sparks flew, and the first cross poison blade was blocked by the Flash Ace.

However, this is just the beginning.

Wang Chen's Dragon King Scorpion releases its skills at an astonishingly fast speed.

Just when the Flash Ace blocked an attack, the second cross poison blade followed. This time, the Flash Ace was unable to resist.

The King Dragon Scorpion's pincers carried deadly poison, which hit the Flash Ace's vital points hard. The triggering of the sniper characteristic multiplied the damage.

This blow, like a bolt from the blue, directly defeated the Flame Ace. It fell powerlessly on the battlefield and fell into a coma.

When Shining Ace fell, Hepp's face was full of reluctance and helplessness, but he also knew that facing such a powerful opponent, sometimes courage and determination alone were far from enough.

This scene once again proves the iron rule in the arena: strength is always the key to determining victory or defeat.

The referee's voice resounded throughout the entire battlefield again, announcing the end of another round of battle: "Flash Ace has lost its ability to fight, Dragon King Scorpion wins, please ask Hep to replace the next Pokémon!"

Following this verdict, Hep's expression became more solemn, but his movements were extremely quick. Almost as soon as the referee's voice fell, he immediately took back the Flame Ace, as if he wanted to cut off his connection with failure.

At this moment, Hepp's inner tension and anxiety reached its peak.

Cold sweat kept dripping from his forehead like drizzle, his heartbeat accelerated, his breathing became rapid, and every breath seemed to be fighting against invisible pressure.

He understood that facing a strong enemy like Wang Chen, the hope of victory had become slim.

But as a trainer, he knows that every battle has its value, and no matter what the outcome, he should not give up easily.

"At least, I will defeat that King Scorpion and prove my strength!" Hep vowed silently in his heart. This is not only a comfort to himself, but also an expectation for the future.

In order to calm his inner turmoil, Hep took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down.

He knew that being nervous would only make the situation worse, and only by staying calm could he perform at his best.

So he slowly took out the fourth Poké Ball from his pocket. This time, he chose "Thousand-Faced Chariot", a Pokémon known for its changeable strategies and tenacious vitality.

The appearance of the Thousand-Faced Enchantress should have been accompanied by Hep's expectations and hopes, but Wang Chen's reaction was unexpectedly quick.

Almost at the same time, he issued an order to the Dragon King Scorpion: "Dragon King Scorpion, as usual, rush up and give it a cross-shaped vital point!"

The Dragon King Scorpion seemed to have long been accustomed to the master's orders. It increased its speed to the limit without hesitation. Like a black whirlwind, it instantly arrived next to the Thousand-Faced Chameleon, waving its fists and releasing deadly cross poison blades.

This attack was precise and deadly, hitting Qianmianbiyi's vital points directly.

The triggering of the sniper characteristic causes the damage to increase exponentially. Even the Thousand-Faced Emu, which is known for its vitality, can hardly withstand such a huge blow.

With just one move, Hep's Thousand Faced Chameleon's eyes turned red, he lost the ability to fight, and fell on the battlefield.

This scene, like the cold reality, ruthlessly revealed the gap in strength.

"The Chameleon has lost its ability to fight, and the King Scorpion has won. Please ask contestant Hep to replace the next Pokémon!" the referee announced loudly.

After the referee finished speaking, Hepp immediately put away his Thousand Faces Escape Plan.

Then he didn't think any more and just threw out his fifth Poké Ball.

There was a flash of red light, and then a powerful "Burning Flame Centipede" appeared on the battlefield.

However, the fate of this Burning Centipede is similar to that of the previous elves.

Wang Chen directly ordered his Dragon King Scorpion to rush over and gave it a "secret attack on the vitals", accurately hitting the vitals of the Flame Centipede, triggering the sniper characteristics, and the damage exploded instantly!

Still using only one move, the Dragon King Scorpion easily defeated the Flame Centipede!

"The Blazing Centipede has lost its ability to fight, the Dragon King Scorpion wins, please ask contestant Hep to replace the next Pokémon!" the referee announced loudly.

After the referee finished speaking, Hep immediately took back his Flame Centipede.

After that, he didn't think too much and just threw out his last Poké Ball.

There was a flash of red light, and Hep's last trump card, the "Hairy Troll", appeared on the battlefield.

And after the long-haired troll appeared, Hep also made it super-giant.

However... this is still useless!

Under Wang Chen's command, the Dragon King Scorpion easily approached the long-haired troll and hit the long-haired troll with two consecutive "Cross Poison Blades".

Each cross poison blade hit the vital point, triggering the sniper's characteristics and causing abnormal explosion of damage!

Therefore, even if the long-haired troll has a lot of blood after being super-giant, it cannot withstand these two attacks.

In the end, the hairy troll could only close his eyes unwillingly and fainted completely. It would be impossible for him to get up for a while.

"The hairy troll has lost its ability to fight, the Dragon King Scorpion wins, and congratulations to contestant Wang Chen for advancing to the semi-finals!" the referee announced loudly.

As the referee finished speaking, the audience couldn't help but gasp.

Someone actually managed to defeat six opponents in the quarterfinals!!!
