086: The Depth of the Battle Between the Two! Zhang Haochen, Who Was Hit Hard
"That is…?"
"What a powerful-looking Heracross!"
The audience stared in awe at Heracross. The transformation into its Mega Saiyan Contest Condition had given it an overwhelming presence, a mix of raw power and battle-hardened instinct.
"Is that really still Heracross?"
Master Wu felt the weight of this transformation more than anyone. Being the closest to the battlefield, he could sense the drastic change in Heracross's aura—its breathing had become heavier, its eyes burned with ferocity, and its entire body radiated pressure like an apex predator.
He wasn't sure if this transformation was a blessing or a curse, but one thing was certain—Heracross's offensive power had skyrocketed.
"Medicham, stop Calm Mind and use Fire Punch!"
Master Wu made a snap decision. Medicham, a Pokémon renowned for its mastery of physical combat, had three elemental punches in its arsenal—Fire Punch, Ice Punch, and Thunder Punch. The coordination of these three techniques wasn't just something any trainer could pull off. Only experienced fighters with deep battle awareness could chain them together fluently, using each one to counter different opponents effectively.
While these moves were rarely used in games due to limited moveslots, in real battles, they allowed Medicham to strike with versatility.
Heracross didn't flinch.
Qin Yun observed closely, satisfaction flickering in his eyes. This was the true essence of the Junior Saiyan Contest Condition—a state where instinct and reaction ruled over strategy and planning.
"Hera!"
Heracross stomped its feet into the ground, and an audible crack rang out. The battlefield trembled, spiderweb-like fissures spreading from the impact point. The sheer force stunned the audience—how could a single Pokémon generate such power?
Master Wu's expression tightened. "What terrifying strength..."
He knew that Medicham couldn't take Heracross head-on. He needed to buy time and create distance, but before he could give an order—
BOOM!
Like a missile, Heracross propelled itself forward with explosive speed, closing the gap between them in an instant.
"Hera!"
Heracross's hands glowed with saffron-colored energy, an aura of raw strength surrounding them.
Medicham barely had time to react.
BAM!
The impact sent shockwaves through the air. Medicham felt a massive force crash into its arms, its muscles straining against the impact. If not for its Elite-tier strength and high combat experience, it would have been sent flying.
Master Wu's worst fear had come true—Heracross had abandoned the use of traditional moves.
This was the biggest flaw of the Junior Saiyan Contest Condition. While it drastically increased physical power and instinct, it made complex battle techniques difficult to execute. Heracross, in this state, could only rely on sheer brute force and simple, high-speed attacks.
But that was more than enough.
Heracross unleashed a relentless barrage of punches, knees, and charges, each hit sending shockwaves through the battlefield. Medicham tried to create space, but Heracross's speed made that impossible.
Master Wu gritted his teeth. "This is bad… Medicham, you have to endure this!"
Medicham had no choice but to fight back, using its Fire Punch to meet each attack head-on. However, even with its Yoga Power ability—doubling the strength of its physical attacks—it was struggling against Heracross's overwhelming ferocity.
From the sidelines, the audience murmured in awe.
"Medicham's at a disadvantage… if this keeps up, it'll be defeated soon."
"But Master Wu isn't an amateur. He must have a plan."
Some of the more experienced spectators nodded.
"Of course. This is where Master Wu's strategy shines. He knows that Heracross's transformation is temporary."
Realization dawned on the crowd.
That was it—Master Wu wasn't trying to win through direct combat. He was stalling.
"That form of Heracross… it's powerful, but it has to have a time limit. Once it runs out, Heracross will be vulnerable."
Master Wu had likely already calculated that his Medicham could survive long enough for Heracross to exhaust itself.
Zhang Haochen, standing among the spectators, clenched his fists.
"So… this is what separates a true Pokémon master from the rest of us."
He felt an overwhelming sense of defeat—not because he had lost to Master Wu in the past, but because he realized how vast the gap was between himself, Qin Yun, and Master Wu.
"In front of them, my understanding of battles is as shallow as a child playing games…"
Meanwhile, Qin Yun had no doubts.
He knew Heracross would burn through energy at an accelerated rate. But this battle wasn't just about winning or losing—it was about pushing himself and his Pokémon to their limits.
"Heracross, this is your fight. Your battle!"
Heracross roared in response.
And then—
A flash of light.
It wasn't the usual glow of exhaustion. It wasn't fatigue forcing the transformation to end.
It was evolution.
A silver-yellow radiance flickered through the saffron aura.
Master Wu's eyes widened.
"This… this can't be…"
He suddenly felt an ominous premonition—one far worse than anything he had anticipated.
