Arcanine's unexpected Crunch deprived Aegislash of its only chance at victory.
Although Crunch didn't completely knock it out, it had now fallen into a disadvantageous position.
Arcanine's imnse bite force made it impossible for Aegislash to break free, and at this mont, it simply didn't have the strength to resist.
This was where Arcanine's stamina advantage truly shined.
Julian: 'Tearing down the house isn't just for anyone—it takes endurance too'
"Aegislash, break free!"
Kaide could only shout from the sidelines.
Aegislash: 'I can break free... but I won't. I want to stay like this for fun'
"Thunder Fang!"
In an instant, Arcanine switched from Crunch to Thunder Fang, Aegislash's body shuddered from the numbing shock, and finally—
It lost its ability to battle completely.
Aegislash: 'Wait! I still have King's Shield!'
That was its exclusive move, a move only it could use, but sadly, it never got the chance.
Besides, with its current energy levels, even if it had survived, it could only have used either Sacred Sword or King's Shield, not both.
As Aegislash collapsed, Arcanine finally released its grip.
When it fell from Arcanine's jaws, it was still covered in a lot of saliva.
"Awoo!"
Arcanine let out a long victorious howl. Despite looking a little worse for wear, its majestic presence remained undeniable.
In short—
One word: Cool.
"Aegislash is unable to battle. Arcanine wins!"
"The final winner is Julian!"
With Frank's official announcent, the battle between Julian and Kaide, the Top young trainers of their respective nations ca to an end.
"I saw this result coming a mile away."
"King Julian—three matches, three wins. Simple as that."
"That looked so easy. Feels like even I could do it."
"I have a Fire Stone. Where do I claim my free Growlithe?"
"Kinda disappointed I didn't get to see tagross."
Comnts flooded the livestream, with the viewer count surpassing 300 million. And Julian had disabled donations before starting the stream—
"I wanted to send a few rockets to celebrate, but I can't!"
"Wake up, dude. The target of poverty alleviation is wrong"
As the protective barriers around the battlefield disappeared, Arcanine trotted over to Julian, excitedly licking his cheek.
Unlike Gengar's paralyzing tongue, Arcanine's tongue had no side effects—
Aside from, well... a lot of saliva.
But its abdominal wound was still bleeding.
"Doesn't that hurt?" Julian asked with a frown.
The battle was over, so that adrenaline rush should have faded too…
Yet Arcanine still showed no sign of feeling any pain in its abdon.
"Arc!"
Only now did Arcanine seem to rember—
It was still an injured Pokémon, with a huge bleeding wound on its stomach.
'Wait, why am I still standing? I should be lying down instead!'
"Awoo~"
With a dramatic howl, Arcanine collapsed onto the ground, playing dead.
If only its tail wasn't wagging so much, it might have looked a little more convincing.
Arcanine: 'I'm not getting up today unless you let tear up a sofa!'
"Slowking, Heal Pulse," Julian said.
While Slowking began healing Arcanine, Kaide had already approached with his group.
Seeing Arcanine lying on the ground doing who-knows-what, he noticed—
The Pokémon even peeked up at him with a rather goofy look.
'…It wasn't acting like this during the battle'
Thinking about how his ace had lost to this dog, Kaide sighed heavily in his heart.
"A bet is a bet. Here's the Honedge line training manual."
He took out a USB drive and handed it to Julian, this was their wager.
If Julian lost, he had to apologize to Richard and return the Honedge.
If Kaide lost, he had to give Julian the training thod for the Honedge line.
This was sothing the entire university knew about, and given Kaide's status, there was no way he would go back on his word.
Taking the USB, Julian nodded. At the sa ti, he also noticed Richard standing behind Kaide—
His hand was still wrapped in thick bandages.
If it wasn't for him, things wouldn't have escalated like this.
But without him, Julian wouldn't have gotten the training thod either, even without it, his Honedge would still beco strong—
But with it, he could speed up its progress significantly.
Kaide didn't say any empty, dramatic lines like "Next ti, I'll definitely win!" or "You better watch out!"—
He simply handed over the USB and left with his people.
anwhile, Arcanine's wound had already healed under Slowking's Heal Pulse.
Yet it still refused to get up, insisting it had lost too much blood.
"If you can't get up, you're going into the Poké Ball."
Seeing Julian take out the Poké Ball, Arcanine imdiately sprang to its feet.
By now, a large crowd had gathered around them—
Julian had defeated Kaide, the crown prince of Gallia's royal family. In a way, this was a great mont of pride for Drakorian Trainers—
A victory worth celebrating.
And what better way to celebrate than by petting Arcanine?
The first person to touch it soon led to a second, a third…
And soon, countless hands reached out.
"Wow, its fur is so smooth! And warm too!"
"Its thigh muscles are so firm!"
"I wonder if it's male or female—let check!"
Seeing soone being so shaless, Arcanine imdiately raised a paw and pinned the guy to the ground.

An Hour Later – Villa No. 1
Julian took a deep breath as he looked at the completely shredded sofa.
"I bought this sofa less than three days ago, you know?"
"Woof"
Arcanine: 'It's my fault that it was in such good condition for three days'
Hearing that, Julian's forehead veins bulged, he grabbed Arcanine's massive head with both hands and—VICIOUSLY RUBBED IT.
Angry dog-head rubs!!
Ding!
His phone rang.
Checking the screen, he saw it was from a furniture store salesperson.
[XX Sales]: Young Master Julian, we just received a new batch of sofas and furniture—
All bite-resistant and scratch-proof! Would you like a set?
Bite-resistant and scratch-proof?
Hearing that, Arcanine's eyes lit up with excitent.
Julian glanced at Arcanine, then at the salesperson's ssage—
…He was starting to suspect they were working together.
Grinding his teeth, he typed a firm reply:
[No. Just send another of the sa sofa as before.]
'What a joke!'
'What kind of material could actually withstand Arcanine's teeth?'
'And if it was that tough, would it even be comfortable to sit on?'
Seeing Julian refuse the new furniture, Arcanine's ears drooped in disappointnt.
Gengar erged from the shadows, covering its mouth as it snickered.
Annoyed, Arcanine imdiately lunged at Gengar, but Gengar vanished into the shadows, darting around the living room.
Crash!
Bang!
Smash!
'…Great'
Other than the chair under Julian, everything in the living room, the furniture, appliances, even the decor was now completely wrecked.
Gengar hid under Julian's chair.
Arcanine rushed forward, and—
BANG!
It slamd into Julian, sending him flying, naturally, the chair was also obliterated.
Sliding down from the wall, Julian exhaled sharply.
"Slowking, how about we have braised dog at and stead ghost for dinner tonight?"
