c114: War Fortress, Meganium! The Unsolved Team?
The final round began.
Unlike previous matches, Qin Yun was fully focused winning the championship was his only goal. He could not afford to let anyone else take the title.
"Luckily, my system is powerful. As long as I can see them, I can analyze their stats and abilities."
The match against Nancheng University was within his control; there was no need to expose too many trump cards. However, the later rounds wouldn't be as easy. He needed to gather intelligence on the strongest teams.
"If I exclude Nancheng University, I still have three more battles ahead."
Qin Yun muttered to himself, shifting his gaze toward the first match Yurong Gym Team vs. Team No. 1 from Group D.
His focus landed on Xiaoya, the leader of Yurong Gym's team. Something about her gave him a sense of foreboding.
"This woman… she's definitely a dangerous opponent."
As the match started, Qin Yun activated his ability, and the Pokémon data of Xiaoya's lead Pokémon immediately appeared before him.

Qin Yun's eyes narrowed.
"This Meganium… it's been raised perfectly. It's not just a tank it's a war fortress."
With defense over 12,000 and an HP pool exceeding 10,000, it was built for endurance. While its speed was lacking, its balanced offensive power made up for it.
"A Pokémon with both high defense and strong attacks… That means it won't have any obvious weaknesses."
He could tell that this Meganium was artificially pushed to a high combat power ranking. While it excelled in all areas, it wasn't optimized in any particular category.
"Still, raising a Meganium to this level is terrifyingly impressive."
He checked the rest of Xiaoya's team none of them had a combat power lower than 35,000, and the strongest reached 45,000.
On the other side, Team No. 1 was also well-balanced. Their strongest Pokémon had a combat power of 45,000, and their weakest had 32,000. The difference wasn't significant.
"Boss, who do you think will win?"
Since Team No. 1 was also from Group D, Qin Yun's teammates were familiar with their strength.
"It should be Yurong Gym. They have the home-field advantage."
"I agree. But even if they win, it will be after a tough fight."
Qin Yun shook his head.
"No. Yurong Gym will win—easily."
His teammates were shocked.
They knew how strong Team No. 1 was. How could it be an easy win?
The Battle Begins!
"Meganium, use Tackle! Charge into their formation!"
Xiaoya's strategy was brutal she used Meganium like a battering ram.
BOOM!
The massive Herb Pokémon bulldozed into Team No. 1's ranks, scattering them immediately.
"Can you even fight like this?!"
Meganium absorbed incoming attacks as it stormed through enemy lines. It took every hit head-on before reaching the middle of the opposing team.
Xiaoya's teammates reacted swiftly.
"Sunny Day!"
A harsh sunlight illuminated the battlefield.
Qin Yun narrowed his eyes.
All of Xiaoya's teammates were using Grass-type Pokémon. Under Sunny Day, their power would increase drastically.
Team No. 1 was caught completely off guard—their formation collapsed.
"They divided the battlefield…"
Qin Yun's gaze sharpened. It was an advanced team-fighting strategy.
If he tried something similar, he would be sacrificing his own teammates.
"Teammates aren't strong enough to execute this strategy properly."
Xiaoya's team, however, executed it flawlessly. The division of labor was clear—Meganium acted as the frontliner, while the rest provided overwhelming offensive pressure.
The result? Team No. 1 was completely crushed.
It wasn't even a battle of strength—it was a tactical slaughter.
The match ended in under five minutes.
Seeing the outcome, Qin Yun's teammates fell silent.
"This… is terrifying."
"If we face them, can we even fight?"
The images of Lurantis and Meganium overlapped in their minds.
Qin Yun smirked.
"Relax. They won't use this tactic against us."
That only made his teammates more nervous.
They didn't need to.
Match Two: Petalburg University's Amateur Team
The next match featured another seeded team—Petalburg University.
Unlike Yurong Gym, they didn't use any advanced tactics.
They didn't need to.
They fought individually, yet their strength was overwhelming.
Qin Yun frowned.
"This kind of team is the worst matchup for me."
Their Pokémon combat power ranged between 45,000 and 48,000.
Every single one of them was an elite-tier powerhouse.
"If I fought against them, my teammates wouldn't last two minutes."
Against a coordinated team like Yurong Gym, Qin Yun could try to disrupt their tactics.
But against Petalburg University, there was no weakness to exploit.
Their match lasted eight minutes—not because they couldn't win faster, but because they were toying with their opponents.
Only the opposing team's captain put up any real resistance.
Qin Yun's teammates felt absolute despair.
With Yurong Gym, they thought they had a chance.
But with Petalburg University…
"Why does this team seem completely unsolvable?"
The real tournament battle had only just begun.
