The moment the command was received, the Trainers who were originally clashing with other League members intensified their offensives. They attempted to shake off their opponents to strike at Gu Yuan.
Unfortunately, they had overestimated their own strength. The originally balanced situation was broken by their reckless actions, and they were instantly suppressed by the League Trainers.
Conversely, Gu Yuan was able to choose his targets calmly, leading Alakazam and the others to continue their assault.
Just as at the beginning, the members of the Kurata family engaged in fierce combat had no extra energy to resist Gu Yuan's attacks and were killed instantly. The liberated League Trainers followed Gu Yuan's lead, immediately turning to help others gain the upper hand.
If Gu Yuan were allowed to continue like this, not only would Toranosuke Kurata's orders fail to be executed, but they wouldn't even be able to maintain the status quo.
"Mizuno, kill him!"
Noticing the situation, Toranosuke Kurata no longer hid his trump card. He had originally intended for Mizuno to act as his final hidden card, kept to turn the tables or help him escape.
However, after noticing Agatha's ease and composure, Toranosuke Kurata understood the League's determination this time. Even with Mizuno there, he wouldn't be able to leave, and as for reinforcements, he didn't even dare to hope for them.
In that case, he would rather take Gu Yuan down with him, making Agatha feel the same pain he felt.
The moment Kurata finished speaking, a person—or more accurately, several Pokémon—rushed out. Unfortunately, Gu Yuan's chain reaction had already begun. Having liberated several Elite-rank combat units, the balance of the battle had been completely shattered.
Detecting Toranosuke Kurata's hidden card, Agatha's own hidden forces were activated as well. The crafty Agatha would never have failed to guess that Toranosuke Kurata was hiding an ace up his sleeve.
Seeing another group of League Trainers rush out, there was no surprise or shock in Mizuno's eyes. He simply commanded his subordinates to meet the attack while continuously dispersing his own forces.
Finally, using Teleport, Mizuno charged in front of Gu Yuan with several Pokémon by his side.
That's right! Like Gu Yuan, Mizuno was also a Psychic. To move quickly toward Gu Yuan, the strongest Pokémon by Mizuno's side was only a High-tier Elite. Though there was only one, it was an Alakazam capable of Mega Evolution.
Additionally, there were two Middle-tier Elite Pokémon which, like Alakazam, could also undergo Mega Evolution: Gardevoir and Gallade. Finally, there were three Beginner-tier Elite Psychic-type Pokémon. One could say this strength far exceeded Gu Yuan's, which was exactly the power Mizuno had deliberately held back.
"Catch me if you can!"
Smiling at the newly arrived Mizuno, Gu Yuan spoke as he finished his sentence, having Alakazam use Teleport to carry him away from the spot. Without hesitation, Mizuno gave chase.
After several teleports, Gu Yuan and Mizuno found a suitable battlefield. Rather than rushing to have others support him, Gu Yuan told them via Telepathy to expand their advantage as quickly as possible, as he was capable of withstanding Mizuno's attack.
"Mega Evolution!"
Seeing Gu Yuan stop running, Mizuno immediately launched his attack. At this moment, Mizuno acted like a robot, strictly executing Toranosuke Kurata's previous command.
"Mega Evolution!"
Gu Yuan was not to be outdone and activated the power of Mega Evolution at the same time. Brilliant light surged as Mizuno's Mega Alakazam, Mega Gardevoir, and Mega Gallade appeared one after another.
After the transformation, Mega Alakazam did not reach the Peak Elite rank, but it was not far off. Mega Gardevoir and Mega Gallade barely reached the High-tier Elite rank. Compared to Mizuno, Gu Yuan's strength was clearly significantly lower, but he showed no fear.
"Counter-attack on the defensive! Be sure to pin them down and provide Gengar and the others with the chance to strike!"
As Gu Yuan's voice rang out, Alakazam already knew exactly what to do. Moltres's special aura spread. Even if the opponent's strength was greater, as a Legendary Pokémon, Moltres's special aura could still play a role. Most notably, Mega Gardevoir and Mega Gallade were pushed back down to Middle-tier Elite strength.
Flames erupted as Mega Charizard Y took the lead. With the boost from Mega Evolution combined with the harsh sunlight, plus Sylveon's continuous use of Helping Hand, Mega Charizard Y set its sights directly on the strongest opponent, Mega Alakazam.
At the same time, Gu Yuan's Mega Alakazam appeared beside Mega Charizard Y to prevent the opponent from using the trickery of the Psychic type to quickly defeat the Charizard.
Moltres and Roaring Moon struck together, followed by coordinated attacks from Mega Gengar and Skeledirge. The remaining three Pokémon were handled by Sylveon, Annihilape, and Ditto.
Beside Gu Yuan, Haxorus, Coalossal, and Hatterene appeared together. It was a rare battle where Gu Yuan had all his Pokémon fight at once.
The moment they clashed, Ceruledge rushed out from its hidden pocket dimension, swinging its burning blades at Mizuno. This prevented Mizuno from directing the battle of Mega Alakazam and the others.
Facing Ceruledge, who had Ace-rank strength, Mizuno could not withstand the assault even with his own High-tier Beginner strength. Fortunately, as a Psychic, he was not affected by Taunt and could use Teleport to dodge Ceruledge's attacks.
Relying on his practiced dodging skills, Ceruledge's Phantom Force alone was not enough to cause him too much trouble. However, when Dragapult also appeared, Mizuno's situation became perilous, though he could still hold out for a time.
On the main battlefield, Mega Charizard Y unleashed Blast Burn again, transforming into a ferocious fire dragon to attack Mega Alakazam, only for it to be instantly sliced apart by a blade of condensed psychic energy.
Even with various buffs, Mega Charizard Y still did not have the strength to clash head-on with Mega Alakazam. Before the blade could reach him, Gu Yuan's Mega Alakazam appeared in time to block the remaining force for Mega Charizard Y.
By this time, Mega Alakazam had copied Mega Gengar's Ability, making Mizuno's Mega Alakazam wary of getting too close.
Meanwhile, with Annihilape and Ditto sharing the pressure, Sylveon successfully used Calm Mind and used Baton Pass to boost Mega Charizard Y's strength.
Feeling its power surge again, Mega Charizard Y launched an attack. Three consecutive Blast Burn strikes were released, swirling toward Mega Alakazam like three miniature suns.
In response, Mega Alakazam condensed a giant dragon, which roared as it crushed Mega Charizard Y's offensive.
Future Sight was activated, followed by a trio of powerful psychic blasts. Gu Yuan's Mega Alakazam seized the opportunity to launch its own attack immediately.
