“Awooo!!”
Mightyena let out a howl and charged straight ahead.
It was the same type of move as Fire Fang, just with a different attribute.
Being two levels higher meant absolutely nothing to a Pokémon.
Not to mention a mere two levels higher, even if the opponent was Arceus, if its trainer told it to attack, it would not hesitate in the slightest.
Baring fangs at a god was just standard operation for a high-tier trainer.
“Take out that damn dog!!”
Lin Zhou opened his mouth and issued a command.
Such a trash-tier command coming from a low-level Beast Tamer like him sounded incredibly stupid.
How was it supposed to take it out?
What skill should it use?
How was the pet beast supposed to act?
If everything relied entirely on the pet beast itself, then why was a Beast Tamer even needed?
With the opponent already charging over, the Rock Ridge Lizard surprisingly didn’t choose to act.
Instead, it turned its head and shot a fierce glare at Lin Zhou.
This place was different from the Pokémon world; this was the real world.
If a human was attacked by a pet beast, they would be lightly injured at best and severely injured at worst, and there was no shortage of people who had been killed by pet beasts.
It was very obvious that this Rock Ridge Lizard was already showing signs of attacking Lin Zhou.
Emitting a freezing aura, the Ice Fang bit down toward the Rock Ridge Lizard’s head.
The Rock Ridge Lizard turned back, raised its head, and instantly petrified it, taking the hit head-on.
Contrary to its expectations, when this bite landed, the Rock Ridge Lizard felt its head spin.
Its entire body reared up on its hind legs as it began to roar at the sky.
It was just like a cat getting startled.
“Mightyena!
Jump up!
Crunch!!”
But this had nothing to do with Chi Hong.
As a battle maniac, he absolutely wouldn’t let even the slightest opportunity to attack slip away.
Mightyena pushed off with its four limbs, launching itself into the air.
It opened its large mouth and bit down toward the Rock Ridge Lizard’s head once again.
The Rock Ridge Lizard thrashed its head, violently shedding a large amount of crushed stone, but these stones lacked any aim and couldn’t hit the Mightyena attacking from above at all.
This bite clamped viciously onto the Rock Ridge Lizard’s head, the sharp teeth piercing straight into the lizard’s flesh.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Rock Ridge Lizard was vastly larger than Mightyena, Chi Hong had no doubt that this strike could have directly killed it!
“This…
Where on earth did Chi Hong get this pet beast?”
“It was one thing to know a Fire-attribute skill, but it actually knows an Ice-attribute skill too?”
“Even that Crunch seems to be a skill as well.”
“Is it typeless?
Or is it…”
Watching the battle from the side, Chao Xia’s face was full of shock.
A C-Rank pet beast that could use skills of more than two attributes was simply unheard of!
“This guy…” Zhang Li was also surprised.
She stared fixedly at that Mightyena, a thick possessiveness appearing in her eyes.
Because C-Rank pet beasts generally had a single attribute, if they encountered a situation where they were countered by the opposing pet beast during a battle, they had practically lost the match right then and there.
But for this Mightyena, the possibilities were vast; it actually possessed skills of three different attributes!
She was certain that the move Crunch was a Dark-attribute skill.
In fact, she had already observed it earlier; the aura radiating from this Mightyena was almost reaching the intensity of that Rock Ridge Lizard!
One had to know that the Rock Ridge Lizard was a B-Rank.
That meant this Mightyena had already reached the absolute peak of the C-Rank!
“It’s very difficult to transfer a pet beast you’ve tamed yourself, but the ones in a storage device…”
“Those are practically just merchandise…”
Zhang Li’s eyes narrowed slightly as she gazed at Mightyena.
At this moment, Mightyena was biting down stubbornly on the Rock Ridge Lizard’s head, refusing to let go no matter how frantically the Rock Ridge Lizard thrashed its head.
“Roar!!”
The Rock Ridge Lizard’s two short forelimbs couldn’t reach its head either, so it just clawed at the air haphazardly.
In reality, this situation was very easy to resolve.
All it took was for the Beast Tamer to issue a command to use a certain skill, or simply tell it to smash its head into the ground.
But Lin Zhou just stood there shouting nonsense like, “What are you doing?!” and “Hurry up and shake it off!”
Not only did this fail to help the Rock Ridge Lizard, but it also only served to make the lizard, which already refused to submit to him, even more irritable and enraged.
The angrier it got, the lower the Rock Ridge Lizard’s combat IQ would fall.
“Mightyena, let go!”
“Fall back!”
Chi Hong saw that keeping the bite held wasn’t working.
It was obvious now that winning through this method would be very difficult.
As long as the Rock Ridge Lizard reacted properly, this move would be completely useless.
The moment it received Chi Hong’s command, Mightyena instantly released its grip.
With a few bounds, it leapt right in front of Chi Hong.
Its canine face was dead serious; aside from expending a bit of stamina, it was completely uninjured!
On the other hand, the Rock Ridge Lizard had entered a state of berserk fury.
It spun around in place, cracking the ground and spawning stone spikes.
Although it hadn’t yet reached the onlookers and the two combatants, it was enough to strike terror into people’s hearts.
“Right!
It still has the Earth Spike skill!
Hurry and use the Earth Spike skill to take out that dog!”
It would have been better if Lin Zhou hadn’t spoken.
The moment he did, the Rock Ridge Lizard, whose mind was already in complete chaos, turned its head and shot an Earth Spike straight at him!
The vibration of the ground caused Lin Zhou to pale in fright, and he hastily scrambled to the side.
Sure enough, right where he had been standing, a sharp stone spike pierced through the floor, standing upright.
If he hadn’t dodged, he would have…
died!
Lin Zhou broke out in a cold sweat, already beginning to regret this.
“Can this be ruled as his loss now?”
“His pet beast has completely lost control.
If something happens, you’ll have to bear a massive responsibility.” Glancing at the frenzied Rock Ridge Lizard not far away, Chi Hong shouted at Zhang Li.
The Rock Ridge Lizard didn’t come to attack Mightyena, but instead moved toward Lin Zhou with a fierce expression.
Its movement speed wasn’t very fast, as if it was conflicted about something.
However, what puzzled Chi Hong was that the Earth Spike from earlier had been unleashed so decisively, so why was it acting so hesitant now?
Zhang Li ignored him.
Instead, she pressed a button, and soon, an alarm began to sound.
“????”
“Idiot!”
Chi Hong was taken aback.
Zhang Li had been a referee for so long, so how did she lack even the most basic common sense?
When a rampaging pet beast was still within a controllable range, one shouldn’t trigger an alarm—something that would only make the pet beast tense and agitated!
“Chi Hong, let’s go quickly!
The Rock Ridge Lizard has gone completely insane!”
Chao Xia ran over, accompanied by her Fire Wolf.
She had released the Fire Wolf to prevent herself from getting caught in the crossfire.
But the alarm blared incessantly, and red lights flashed rapidly on the ceiling.
Even the Fire Wolf looked somewhat agitated.
Chao Xia could only continuously stroke the Fire Wolf’s head in an attempt to pacify it.
However, Chi Hong’s Mightyena merely turned its head and shot him a calm look.
Seeing that Chi Hong had no reaction, it remained standing there coolly, holding its large canine head high and keeping a constant watch on the increasingly frantic Rock Ridge Lizard.
The Rock Ridge Lizard was launching attacks at the spots with the red lights.
At its current pace, in less than three minutes, this arena would have its very roof torn off by it.
“Chi Hong?”
Seeing that Chi Hong had absolutely no intention of leaving and was still staring at the Rock Ridge Lizard, Chao Xia immediately grabbed his arm.
Chi Hong was still rooted to the spot, because within his Pokémon game interface, the trainer panel had appeared.
An additional skill had also appeared, called ‘Limit Break’.
[Limit Break: Links the spirits of the trainer and the Pokémon, allowing the unrestricted use of all skills the corresponding Pokémon can learn, no longer bound by the four-move limit.]
“Hahaha!”
“To tell you the truth, this kind of scene has played out in my dreams countless times.”
“How could I miss it?”
Chi Hong flashed Chao Xia a grin, then waved his hand, decisively issuing a command.
“Limit Break!”
“Mightyena!
Use Howl!”
In an instant, a beam of golden light connected from Chi Hong’s body to Mightyena, before subsequently disappearing.
Mightyena’s eyes lit up, and it opened its mouth to let out a resonant roar!
“Awooo!!!”
The thunderous roar echoed throughout the gym!
“Mightyena!
Start running!
Aim for the head!
Use Dark Pulse!”
As Chi Hong’s command was issued, Mightyena began to sprint, while pitch-black energy gathered in its mouth.
In just a second or two, it spat out a pitch-black beam that struck the Rock Ridge Lizard directly in the head.
This blow knocked the Rock Ridge Lizard’s massive body to the ground, causing it to let out an infuriated roar!
“Protect!!”
Chi Hong issued another command.
Mightyena stopped in its tracks, its entire body enveloped in a radiant glow.
An Earth Spike erupted from the ground, yet it failed to harm Mightyena in the slightest.
“Now’s the time, Double-Edge!”
“Awooo!!” Mightyena began to sprint wildly.
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, it slammed fiercely into the Rock Ridge Lizard’s massive body.
This strike sent the Rock Ridge Lizard flying several meters away, only coming to a stop when it crashed into a wall.
Chi Hong felt the rush going straight to his head.
With a sweeping wave of his hand, he issued his next command, “This is the final blow!
Hyper Beam!!”
Mightyena’s eyes turned red, seemingly overexcited as well.
A terrifying amount of energy began to gather within its mouth.
“I made it!
Return!!”
The instant the Hyper Beam was fired, an anxious voice rang out.
Following that, accompanied by a flash of light, the Rock Ridge Lizard vanished from Mightyena’s attack range.
Boom!!!!
The intense energy blasted a massive hole in the gym’s wall, and a long gouge appeared on the ground, emitting burnt smoke.
Everyone was absolutely stunned.
