Chapter 1524: Chapter 1131: The Latest Strength Rankings!_2
"Blub blub blub..." "Waaah!!" "Koje!"
A moment later, the Pokemon like Magnemite, Monferno, and Glutton, which had gone nearby for special training, were also called back by the Celebi.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan smiled slyly and cast a meaningful glance at Dragonite, Venusaur, and the others.
Oh dear, it's time for the team competition again, time to sort out everyone's strength rankings...
Dragonite, Venusaur: "..."
...
Pacific Ocean area.
On an uninhabited island renamed "The Island That Is Destined to Sink in Three Days" by Fang Yuan, Big and small Snorlax, and 3D Rotom, the eighth Fang Yuan Tournament was about to begin.
This island had been transformed into a super-big stadium by Big and small Snorlax, and it was also connected to the sea, which provided an even better arena for Milotic.
There were ten entrants for the Fang Yuan Tournament: Eevee, Armed Magnetic Monster, Monferno, Gengar, Dragonite, Milotic, Venusaur, Mane Rock Werewolf, Ditto, and Darkrai.
Because it was a points-based competition, each Pokemon would have to fight nine battles. With ten Pokemon, that made a total of 45 battles, hence the origin of the island's name.
Although the tournament was spread over three days, it was still a massive schedule.
However, there was one thing to be thankful for...
Milotic didn't have to be the team doctor anymore and was able to fight with all its might.
Fang Yuan actually forgot about the two utility Snorlax. These two fellows, masters of Life Droplet, Healing Wish, and Heal Bell, and even capable of using the Force of Time to accelerate healing efficiency, had healing abilities that surpassed Milotic's. Not to use their skills would be a waste...
So, the two Celebi, in addition to being the groundskeepers, had a new task: joining Victini in healing the fighters after each battle...
Big and small Snorlax: ٩(//̀Д/́/)۶ That's bullying the God of The Forest too much!
After everything was arranged, the eighth Fang Yuan Tournament officially began...
In such a competition, like those in the outside world, they definitely couldn't let the stronger Pokemon meet first. So, the weaker Pokemon in the team confirmed their rankings first.
For instance, Normal Venusaur, with its ordinary Guardian God Level Power, was destined for nine consecutive defeats.
The Garlic Emperor, upon whom Luo Kuo had placed great hopes, suffered a crushing defeat in the team competition, ranking last at tenth place in strength!
Venusaur: ༼༎ຶ෴༎ຶ༽
Against the six main forces and Darkrai, there was no way Venusaur could compete.
Its battles against Mane Rock Werewolf and Ditto were Venusaur's only hopes for victory.
But alas, due to the competition rules, Fang Yuan couldn't help Venusaur with Mega Evolution or use its exclusive Z-Move. Normal Venusaur was simply carried off with a few kicks from the Super Ancient Transformed Werewolf Emperor.
The lush forest couldn't withstand the Werewolf Emperor's immense body; it was crushed, leaving Venusaur frustrated and vowing to master Autonomous Z Moves. Once it mastered True Thousand Hands that combined Power of Nature with Light Energy and Wave Power, it felt confident it could defeat Mane Rock Werewolf, even in its normal state. Alas, there was no chance this time around.
Then came the battle with Ditto. It should've been an easy win, but unfortunately, Ditto borrowed the Rainbow Feather strengthened by Ho-Oh and transformed into Ho-Oh itself.
Even though Venusaur was a bit stronger overall, it couldn't withstand being completely countered in type. Plus, Ho-Oh could fly, whereas Venusaur was just a sitting duck. Holy Fire scorched everything, and the outcome was clear.
The Garlic Emperor shut itself off from the world.
Victini, Little Hoopa, and Kira Pray couldn't have been happier.
Ninth place went to Mane Rock Werewolf.
With eight losses and one victory, it stood in the same position as Venusaur: only against Ditto and Normal Venusaur did it have a chance to fight.
The current ordinary Mane Rock Werewolf had Quasi-guardian god power; upon Gigantification, it almost reached the threshold of High-level Guardian. But with a prolonged transformation and the loss of speed becoming a big target, against those teammates who were at least at High-level Guardian God level, its fate was to be instantly defeated regardless of successful transformation. After some rough battles, Mane Rock Werewolf too only managed to win against Venusaur.
Against Ditto, it actually had a chance to win, but Ditto played dirty by transforming into Super Gengar, hiding in Different Space and avoiding being hit. And with Gigantification being too physically taxing, Ditto would just wait out till Mane Rock Werewolf reverted, then transformed into Monferno and gave it a relentless beating, taking the win.
Not being able to maintain its large size for long was Mane Rock Werewolf's greatest weakness.
Indeed, sometimes tactics can lead to victory against stronger opponents...
Mane Rock Werewolf: ༼༎ຶ෴༎ຶ༽
Even the Werewolf Emperor, who had high expectations placed on him by Teacher Luo Kuo, shut itself off from the world.
Victini, Little Hoopa, and Kira Pray could not contain their joy.
Fang Yuan and Rotom had even recorded the videos to show Luo Kuo later, to let him see what kind of emperor he had nurtured. Ending up at the bottom of the internal competition!
Eighth place in the Fang Yuan Tournament went to Ditto, the peak of peculiar existence.
With its Dream Gene, the daily rigorous training with Monferno, and a bunch of Legendary Level transformation items, it had completely shed its status as a utility creature. Even without the items, it could now sometimes exhibit Guardian God Level Combat Power.
Defeating Mane Rock Werewolf and Venusaur was the biggest testament to Ditto's increased strength.
However, against the group of freaks ahead, clearly, Ditto was still outmatched and stopped at eighth.
