Chapter 572: Long Titles Don't Guarantee Strength
After that person spoke, many trainers from other alliances echoed their agreement.
"The Sakura Alliance has always had strong competitive strength. With a young genius like Future Yuzuru this year, maybe they'll establish a dynasty in the Champions Cup for the next few years."
"Indeed, the captain of the Grand Master Team is getting old. Maybe it's time for a change of guard."
"I'm also very optimistic about the Nine-Tailed Fox Team this year."
Seeing that almost everyone was supporting him, the person who spoke first became even more smug.
Although he hadn't fought Forrest, seeing his viewpoint widely supported gave him a sense of victory.
At least in terms of momentum, he felt he had overwhelmed Forrest.
But Forrest just smiled nonchalantly and said, "Titles aren't exclusive to geniuses from Sakura."
"What?"
Before the person could finish his question, his voice was drowned out by a sudden surge of exclamations from the crowd.
Because—
Following Future Yuzuru's attack, Arthur on the other side finally made his move!
His battle style wasn't as flashy or high-tech as Future Yuzuru's, nor did he have so many expensive black-tech items to assist his Pokémon.
He simply charged at the enemy with the little dragonfly and Greninja in a straightforward manner—
Using the Fighting-type move Brick Break within a sword slash, he shattered Umbreon's Reflect.
Then, releasing his sword with his left hand, he caught Milotic's swinging tail with lightning speed.
With astonishing strength, he swung Milotic's body, using it as a weapon to smash wildly into the nearby Carbink!
Future Yuzuru had just completed a 1v3 feat using tech items and Pokémon skills, and Arthur quickly retaliated—
He also single-handedly suppressed Future Yuzuru's three Pokémon in a 1v3 fight, without relying on support from the little dragonfly or Greninja!
Unlike Future Yuzuru's exquisite, meticulous, and tech-filled style, Arthur's fighting style was wild, unrestrained, lacking tech elements but filled with primal aesthetic violence!
The onlookers couldn't help but exclaim—
"Holy crap?! Is he even human?!"
After a burst of output, Arthur quickly assessed: Among these three Pokémon, only Carbink seems to have captain-level strength. The other two are a bit lacking in raw power.
I can handle them!
In fact, although Future Yuzuru was hailed as a once-in-a-century genius trainer from Sakura, she currently only had four captain-level ace Pokémon: Arcanine, now bursting with the strongest pay-to-win power; Carbink, blessed by a Legendary; Rotom in her hand; and the Blissey providing logistical support not far away!
"Greninja, go cut Blissey! Little Dragonfly, use Dragon Tail to knock Carbink away! Let's focus on the remaining two first!"
Carbink was very strong!
And its defense was too high. The Diamond Storm just now had stacked two more layers of defense buffs on it, and its Clear Body ability made it immune to debuffs. It was too hard to cut.
So Arthur decisively chose to knock this tough nut away first and prioritize the remaining two.
Future Yuzuru's Umbreon and Milotic weren't weak, to be honest. They had also performed excellently in the Sakura Professional League. Just in the past few days, many participating trainers had lost to them, and many in the crowd recognized these two Pokémon.
"No way? I remember Future Yuzuru often uses that Umbreon in battles, right? It's not weak! Didn't Ada lose to this Umbreon before?"
"Yes, I remember too. That Milotic is also quite strong. I recall its Twister and Water Pulse being very powerful..."
At this moment, everyone speaking had a tone of hesitation and doubt, their voices trailing off as they spoke.
The reason was that strength is relative!
In the hands of Arthur and the little dragonfly, these two Pokémon lost all their former glory, looking as weak as newly hatched babies.
Milotic used its signature Water Pulse, but the little dragonfly blocked it directly, tanking all the water shockwaves head-on.
Then the little dragonfly lowered her body, letting Arthur step on her back to jump, spin in the air, and deliver a fierce whip kick downwards, kicking the hovering Milotic to the ground.
After falling, Milotic tried to struggle, wrapping its body around Arthur's waist in an attempt to constrict him.
But as soon as it raised its head, the little dragonfly slammed it back into the sand with a palm strike. Dizzy from the impact, the constriction force weakened instantly.
Arthur seized the opportunity to break free, grabbing its neck with one hand and raising a fist the size of a sandbag with the other.
At this moment, Arthur's face showed neither joy nor sorrow. His indifferent expression made the Milotic lying on the ground tremble inexplicably.
That gaze was eerie and terrifying, like an abyss!
Then the fist fell. Bang! Bang! The heavy blows sounded like cannon fire!
Meanwhile, Future Yuzuru was still focused on swinging her lightsaber to chase down Mismagius!
Little Lapras and Little Eevee, being juniors, lacked strength. The Poltergeist bomb had been enough to temporarily incapacitate them. However, Mismagius was surprisingly resilient, exceeding Future Yuzuru's expectations!
This Ghost-type Pokémon should have been most countered by the Ghost-type Poltergeist, but she miraculously held on. Afterward, she kept preventing Future Yuzuru from expanding her advantage, and even had the energy to provide some healing to the two little ones midway.
Because of Mismagius, Future Yuzuru's efficiency in cutting the backline was slowed down.
This made her frown slightly.
But initially, she wasn't panicked.
Even if she was a bit slow, Carbink and the others should be enough to stall that human for long enough.
After all, that person didn't dare release Gengar now, and the two Charizards were pinned down by Arcanine.
But soon, something unexpected happened to Future Yuzuru—
Blissey, Umbreon, and Milotic all sent cries for help through the telepathic link at the same time.
"How could this be? What happened?"
Distracted, she let Mismagius slip away from under her lightsaber.
Too late to chase, she turned back to look.
Just one glance made her pupils shrink violently!
Milotic had been knocked unconscious in a single encounter;
That Flygon was relentlessly beating Umbreon;
And that human, wielding dual swords, was single-handedly blocking Carbink, who had struggled to fly back to the battlefield, outside the combat circle!
The plan seemed to have deviated a little bit from what she expected...
At this moment, Forrest smiled and answered the person who had spoken passionately just now.
"So, a long title doesn't necessarily mean a high chance of winning. When it comes to titles, our Kubfu guy has just as many, if not more."
