c110: Defeat the Square Man! The Power of Wood Release
"Lurantis, use Wood Release: Tree Wall!"
Qin Yun had no choice but to rely on his strongest defense.
"Lantang!"
Lurantis, sensing the overwhelming strength of its opponent, tensed up. Unlike previous battles, this one was different the enemy was on an entirely different level.
Wood Release in this world was an ability unique to Lurantis, a transformation derived from Nature Power. As thick wooden vines burst from the ground, they rapidly intertwined to form a dense barrier, shielding Lurantis from view.
Drapion's Venoshock splattered against the wooden shield, but its corrosive power barely left a mark. At the same time, Drapion charged forward, aiming to break through.
With a staggering combat power index of 45,200, this Drapion was no ordinary foe. It excelled in physical attack (9,100), defense (10,700), and speed (7,900) a near-perfect offensive tank.
The abrupt appearance of the Tree Wall not only blocked Venoshock but also stalled Drapion's advance.
"What the hell is this move?"
The Red Team's captain frowned. He had never encountered such an ability before.
"Sage Mode!"
Qin Yun activated his trump card. This wasn't just Sage Mode at the first stage (which could be activated instantly). This time, Lurantis was entering the Second Stage a mode that still required a few moments to fully awaken.
"Lantang!"
Lurantis, channeling Nature Power, began absorbing energy from its surroundings, preparing to enter full Sage Mode.
"Drapion, break that wooden shield with X-Scissor!"
Drapion roared, its claws glowing as it slashed forward in a cross pattern.
BOOM!
The Tree Wall trembled, but it held firm. Drapion's full-powered attack left only a small hole, barely 20 centimeters wide far too narrow to break through.
"Drapion, again! Use X-Scissor!"
SLASH!
Drapion struck once more, widening the hole slightly.
At that moment, danger surged through Drapion's instincts. It tried to back away, but it was already too late.
"Leaf Storm!"
By the time Drapion finished its second X-Scissor, Lurantis had fully entered Sage Mode—and its ultimate attack was ready.
"Drapion, dodge!"
The Red Team's captain panicked.
"Too late."
A smirk formed on Qin Yun's lips.
The fierce Leaf Storm erupted, engulfing Drapion in a devastating cyclone of razor-sharp leaves.
Drapion barely managed to guard its weak points, preventing an instant knockout. However, the damage was still severe.
Though Poison-types resisted Grass-type moves, Leaf Storm was a high-damage attack, and Lurantis' power had grown exponentially.
More importantly
Lurantis' Special Attack rose by +2!
The Red Team's captain clenched his fists.
"This is bad… Drapion's Special Defense isn't high. If Lurantis keeps stacking power, we'll lose."
"Everyone, avoid Leaf Storm at all costs!"
He gritted his teeth. His team had a massive lead, but that lead was shrinking. His teammates had already overwhelmed most of Qin Yun's allies victory should have been certain within the next two minutes.
Meanwhile, Zhang Haochen and the others were barely holding on.
If not for Shuckle's monstrous defenses, their entire team would have collapsed by now.
"We just need to hold out a little longer!"
Despite the pressure, Ma Tao and the others refused to give up.
The Red Team's advantage was clear. Their Pokémon were objectively stronger. By all logic, they should have already won.
And yet
Somehow, Qin Yun's team was still standing.
"Li Yun, should we help the captain?"
One of the Red Team members hesitated.
"..."
"No. Finish them off first. The captain can handle Qin Yun alone."
However, Duan Nan the Square Man was losing confidence.
Just moments ago, he had been so sure of his victory. But now, he felt like a fool.
"Captain, are you sure?"
"...Yes."
He forced himself to sound certain.
But before he could react, something unexpected happened
Drapion was ensnared.
Thick wooden branches shot out from the ground, wrapping tightly around its limbs.
"Leaf Storm! Again!"
"NO!"
Duan Nan's face paled.
He had no choice.
"Li Yun! Help me! 2v1!"
But before backup could arrive
BOOM!
Another Leaf Storm struck. Drapion, already injured, couldn't withstand another direct hit.
With a final cry, it collapsed.
"Drapion is unable to battle!"
The stadium fell silent.
Duan Nan froze.
"...What?"
Drapion was the first Pokémon to be knocked out.
He the so-called strongest had lost the first fight.
"Another one is coming."
Qin Yun glanced at his teammates, surprised they had lasted this long.
"Lurantis, use Wood Release: Grand Forest Hand!"
Seviper was charging in, but Qin Yun wasn't about to let this one go either.
"Does he think I'm an easy target?"
Li Yun smirked. Her Seviper had stacked Swords Dance three times its attack power was off the charts.
There was no way she'd back down now.
"Seviper, attack with Poison Tail! Give it everything!"
"Rice spoon!"
Seviper's body coiled with lethal energy. Its tail glowed a venomous purple, ready to deliver a one-hit kill.
At that moment, Seviper truly believed it was unstoppable.
It had the power.
It had the confidence.
All it needed was one perfect strike
And yet…
Qin Yun's smile didn't waver.
