Pokemon: Hundredfold Power Surge

032 The Final That Arrived Early, Against Wang Qiu

The 100,000 Pokémon dollar voucher was now in Qin Yun's hands, bringing a faint smile to his face.

Since his parents were off work today, it was the perfect time to upgrade their living conditions.

Or…

Qin Yun had another idea buying a new house.

His current home was an old two-bedroom apartment, with a small, cramped layout. Because of space limitations, even the living room had been partially converted into a bedroom. His sister, Qin Xin, barely had her own space, and with only one bathroom, taking a shower at night was always troublesome, not to mention the constant leaks.

In the past, he didn't have the means to change this, but now?

Qin Yun was determined to set aside funds for a larger home, ideally a move-in-ready property. While he could wait through a renovation cycle, he didn't want his parents and sister to endure the discomfort any longer.

"I'll take a few days to look for good real estate."

Qin Yun murmured to himself. His parents had worked hard for him for years. Now that he had the ability, it was time to let them enjoy life a little.

Tense Battles and Worthy Rivals

The quarter-finals were packed with intense battles, one after another.

Qin Yun, watching from the sidelines, carefully observed three potential threats among the competitors:

1. Zhang Can – The Mankey trainer Qin Yun previously fought. His Pokémon's strength and aggression made him a serious contender for the semi-finals.

2. Serena – Her Eevee was highly skilled, making her a tough opponent. Qin Yun knew he'd have a hard time against her in a battle.

3. Wang Qiu – The most formidable rival.

Wang Qiu's Pokémon Details:

Pokémon: Ivysaur

Type: Grass/Poison

Ability: Overgrow – Boosts Grass-type moves by 1.5x when HP is below one-third.

Strength: Beginner Advanced Level

Potential: High-level

Moveset: Tackle, Vine Whip, Razor Leaf, Sleep Powder, Synthesis

Pokédex Entry: Ivysaur, the Seed Pokémon. Its flower bud absorbs nutrients as it grows. When fully matured, it blooms into a large flower.

With a base stat total of 405, Ivysaur was a strong and evolved Pokémon. Unlike Fomantis, which was still in its base form, Ivysaur had a much higher battle potential.

Qin Yun had already watched Wang Qiu's matches his battle instincts were sharp, making him a formidable opponent.

Type Disadvantage: Grass vs. Grass

The biggest challenge in the upcoming match was the Grass-type mirror match.

Grass vs. Grass battles often resulted in low-damage exchanges, since both Pokémon resisted their own type's moves. That meant both Fomantis and Ivysaur would struggle to deal significant damage to each other.

This fight would be a battle of endurance, not raw power.

Quarter-Finals: The Lottery Draw

In tournament-style battles, luck could make a big difference. Drawing a weak opponent could be an easy win, while facing a strong trainer early could mean elimination.

The quarter-finals matchups were drawn randomly.

Qin Yun's opponent was a mid-tier entry-level trainer, posing no real threat.

Zhang Can's luck was terrible he had to face Wang Qiu, making it the hardest match in the bracket.

Serena's matchup was easy, giving her a free path to the semi-finals.

After 30 minutes of rest, the battles began.

Qin Yun easily won his match, advancing to the semi-finals.

Serena crushed her opponent, moving forward as well.

The most anticipated battle was Wang Qiu vs. Zhang Can.

Wang Qiu vs. Zhang Can: Strength vs. Strategy

Mankey charged in aggressively, using its speed and agility to strike first.

But…

Ivysaur didn't react.

Instead of dodging, Wang Qiu had trained Ivysaur for defense, not speed. With its bulky body, Ivysaur was a tank, specializing in special attacks and endurance.

Using Vine Whip, Ivysaur knocked Mankey back, followed by Razor Leaf, restricting Mankey's movement.

Despite both Pokémon being entry-level advanced, the difference in stats and strategy was clear.

Mankey lasted less than five minutes before taking a final Vine Whip, collapsing to the ground.

Wang Qiu wins.

His battle style was simple but effective no flashy tactics, just overwhelming power and control.

Qin Yun felt the pressure. Wang Qiu was strong, perhaps even stronger than he had initially thought.

Semi-Finals: The Final That Came Early

By midday, the top four were determined.

To ensure high-quality matches, the officials scheduled the semi-finals at 3 PM.

The organizers even provided free lunches for the remaining four contestants a nutritious meal with four dishes and soup, designed to keep them in top condition.

After eating, the players rested in the designated area, ensuring they were mentally and physically prepared for the upcoming intense battles.

Then, the semi-final draw began.

Qin Yun vs. Wang Qiu

Serena vs. her opponent (who was significantly weaker).

Serena had essentially won a free ticket to the finals, while Qin Yun and Wang Qiu were about to have the real championship battle in the semi-finals.

The moment Qin Yun saw the matchup, he remained calm as did Wang Qiu.

Neither of them cared about their opponent. They both had the same goal winning the championship.

The Audience Watches in Anticipation

The crowd was buzzing with excitement.

Wang Qiu had the highest betting odds, estimated at 10:1. Many spectators saw him as the clear favorite.

Inside the VIP area, several school principals observed the event, including the principals of No. 2 and No. 6 Middle School.

The principal of No. 2 Middle School was especially pleased, flashing a smug smile.

With both Qin Yun and Serena in the top four, their school had already outperformed expectations.

Before the tournament, they had expected zero students to reach the top ranks. Now, they had two in the top three.

Meanwhile, the principals of the eliminated schools had already left there was no reason to stay and watch their rivals succeed.
