Chapter 284 Challenger Vs Defending Champion II

The sudden scream coming from the audience's seat rattled the two contestants. White Mist immediately commanded his White Wolf to attack with an ice fang. At the same time, Jean Grey also gave his Pheross an order. However, he didn't say his order out loud. Instead, he thought it, not giving White Mist any hints as to what his Pheross was about to do.

Pheross jumped mid-air and fired a blue lightning orb toward the White Wolf. The White Wolf was well-prepared for the attack however since it had already activated its ice fang.  It didn't hesitate to bite off the lightning orb and crush it in between its teeth. Smoke rose from the mouth of the White Wolf as ice and lightning met. The vapor that filled the air felt warm,  and it seemed to fizzle as the White Wolf let out an exhale.

BOOM!

Another explosion happened. A split second later, the  White Wolf flew in the opposite direction, whimpering.

Apparently, as soon as Pheross shot off a blue lightning orb, it shot another one, and since the White Wolf was too preoccupied with the first one, it didn't notice the second lightning orb and it hit the White Wolf squarely on the face. The impact was so strong that the White Wolf flew a couple of feet due to the explosion.

"White Wolf?" White Mist called out, wondering why the White Wolf wasn't able to deal with such a simple attack. Its ice fang attack should be more than enough to cancel the lightning orb, but the White Wolf suffered some damage. ]

Pheross then charged at the White Wolf, giving it no time to rest. He then swiped his claws toward the White Wolf, black swipes came out of the Pheross's claws and traveled toward the White Wolf. His attack looked a lot like wind scythes, but it had a deep dark purplish color.

"Ice fang!" White Mist commanded once again and White Wolf responded by biting all the dark wind scythes coming at it. "And now use agility with your ice domain!"

White Mist knew just how strong his White Wolf's ice domain was. He knew that if he didn't act now, they would lose, that's why he commanded his White Wolf to use one of his special moves this early in the match.

With a low grunt, White Wolf started moving rapidly in the field. It was like a blur, getting faster and faster while it activated its ice domain skill. Jean Grey could've sworn that the White Wolf was smiling just like how White Mist was grinning from ear to ear. The two of them were more than confident that these combinations of skills would be the end of Pheross. But they thought wrong.

"Don't underestimate my Pheross." Jean Grey called out to White Mist who was smiling like an idiot. Without missing a beat, Jean Grey commanded his Pheross to slowly approach the White Wolf.

"Hoh, you're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're coming right to me?" White Mist started muttering as he put up his hand on his face. He was referencing a certain quote from a certain series that had been insanely popular years ago.

"Pheross, use your blue lightning domain, and then electrocute that agility freak with your thunderbolt." Jean Grey said, waving his hand and shrugging as if he wanted his Pheross to get it over with.

Pheross's eyes glinted as they charged toward the White Wolf. A looming dark cloud suddenly appeared on top of the stadium, getting thicker and thicker by the second. Pretty soon, the clouds then rained down bolts of lightning. The agility freak that is the White Wolf became confused since its overpowerful ice domain was getting canceled out by the blue lightning domain from Pheross. It was supposed to be the strongest, but now, Pheross was dominating it as if it was a mouse being chased down by a cat.

White Wolf felt as if it saw the whole universe in front of it... or rather, it saw its entire life flash before its eyes as Pheross appeared in front of it, blue lightning coursing through its body.

? "White Wolf! Use mega awakening!" White Mist called out (mega awakening, for crying out loud).

But it was already too late. Pheross had electrocuted the life out of the White Wolf. After thirty seconds, the White Wolf fell down on the ground, smoke coming out of its body as its charred skin seemed to flake off its skin. Most of its prideful mane was gone, and it looked more burnt than electrocuted.

"White Wolf?!" White Mist exclaimed as he rushed to White Wolf's aid. White Wolf had slipped into unconsciousness, and its eyes became a doodly form of spiral, which is a sign that the White Wolf is unable to battle.

"THE WHITE WOLF IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! THE FIRST ROUND GOES TO... THE CHALLENGER JEAN GREY!" The referee announced as people started cheering and hollering from the crowd. There was no one who booed Jean Grey since it really was a legendary fight. The area of effect skills that the two tamed beasts displayed were nothing short of extraordinary, and the way they moved all over the field was a sight to behold. Everyone was pleased watching the match, and even though they were saddened that the defending champion lost the first round, they were glad that Jean Grey was actually a worthy challenger, not some run-of-the-mill friend of the number one superhero who's actually super weak.

"For the second round! please bring out your tamed beasts! As mentioned before, this is a three-round fight... so if White Mist loses the match... er or rather, if Jean Grey loses the match, then White Mist still has the chance to defend his title!" The referee swallowed his words back since he almost put more pressure on White Mist. This was White Mist's homecourt, America, and there was no way that the referee should unspokenly side with the challenger. That's just plain formality/etiquette.

"Go Rychtyosaur," Jean Grey was the first one to display his tamed beast. It seemed like it didn't even occur to Jean Grey that White MIst might summon a beast with a type-advantage against his beast but unbeknownst to everyone, Jean Grey had actually thought things through.

The reason why he chose first was to put more pressure on White Mist. It was a given that White Mist should summon a tamed beast first since he's the defending champion. It always works like that so the challenger would always have a chance to counter it. But now, Jean Grey turned the tables on White Mist, forcing him to go with the most irrational of decisions.

Since he didn't pick first, White Mist immediately thought that he shouldn't pick someone or something with the type advantage against his challenger... but after thinking about it a little bit more, he realized that he should be free to do whatever he wants since one— Jean Grey should've known the rules and he should've abided by it, and two— Jean Grey actually won the first round so it would be fair if he wins the second round.

The Rychtyosaur is a four-legged creature with water and magma flowing through it. Just from one look alone, White Mist already knew what kind of typing the Rychtyosaur. It's water and fire typing, one of the greatest combinations of typing when it comes to tamed beasts. After all, water and fire counter each other in the spectrum of type advantages and disadvantages. Having them together in one tamed beast means that it has fewer type disadvantages than most.

"Jurah, I choose you!" White Mist screamed.

Although Jurah looked like a robe of black and red that floated emptily in the air, it is one of the most powerful psychic type tamed beasts out there. It is rumored that Jurah could easily kill a beast tamer if they let their guard down in their minds. It is one of the hardest beasts to tame in the entire Beast Dimension.

"To think that you managed to catch a Jurah. I'm impressed. A psychic type is not effective against the water type or the fire type, but it sure does pack a punch when it comes to its movability and area control. That's a good choice, you picked a pretty challenging opponent for my Rychtyosaur. I might even lose this fight, seriously." Jean Grey said, rubbing his nose. After that win in the first round, he felt more confident, and now he started acting as if this was one of the regular matches he'd have between a challenger who wanted to take his title as beast master. That's why he started commenting and giving out pointers.

The tides have changed. This time, it seemed like it was Jean Grey who underestimated his opponent. He immediately judged White Mist's capabilities after seeing his White Wolf, and that's why he let his guard down. It was an honest mistake, and Jean Grey could more or less tell that he might really lose this match if he wasn't careful.

"ROUND TWO! BEGIN!"
