Chapter 330 One Against Four, the "Underwater Ruins" Map in the Lucky Lantern! (1 views, please vote!)

[Hahahaha, Alice is such a jinx! She said it was the finishing touch, and she actually did it!]

[Le, you really know how to add the finishing touch, but you're not happy about it!]

[As everyone knows, Prison Water and Rayquaza have a very good relationship, so it's only natural that I, Magic Masked Cat, can add a finishing touch to the masterpiece, right? (Trying to understand)]

[Reporting Miaoha for illegal sketching! With V-shaped flames, continuous water jets, and meticulous finishing touches, they've definitely stolen Tutu Dog's sketching secrets!]

[Unfortunately, the luck of the Shaka Pavilion Master wasn't very good; he almost turned the tables!]

[Is this still bad luck? Earth Power triggers a decrease in special defense, and random light triggers double damage. How can you expect to be lucky? Just declare it a win!]

[Only two left, and one is a Garchomp that's practically in no condition. Is Meowha going to take on all four of them?]

[Good heavens, four of Shaka's main Pokémon. Who would have thought?]

【.】

Let's return our attention to the battlefield.

Whether the Magic Masked Cat can accomplish the feat of defeating four opponents single-handedly remains to be seen, but the Honeycomb Serpent in front of us, after enduring that illogical [Dragon's Eye], is already beyond saving.

Even though the "sugar-covered" state of the [syrup bomb] made the movements noticeably sluggish, the speed boost from the two [gear shifts] was real.

Even now, the speed of the Magic Masked Cat far surpasses that of the critically injured and dying Honey Orochi!

Despite its physical discomfort, it suddenly exerted its strength and leaped high into the air.

The next moment, a mysterious and sacred emerald green translucent airflow appeared out of thin air as if summoned, quickly enveloping its entire body. The airflow surged and circulated, faintly emitting a humming sound like a dragon's roar!

Under the watchful eyes of countless viewers behind the live stream screen, the figure of the Magical Masked Cat underwent a strange transformation within the emerald green aura.

As if resonating with some supreme will of the sky, it transformed into a verdant phantom of a divine dragon imbued with the majesty of a dragon!
With a terrifying momentum and impact that seemed to pierce the heavens and the earth, the Magic Masked Cat swooped down like a meteor towards the Honey Serpent, which was still struggling to gather [Heavy Impact] energy on the ground!

The speed is incredibly fast! It surpasses the limits of visual capture!
Before it could react or dodge in any way, the Honeycomb Serpent was struck squarely by the emerald green dragon shadow that descended from the sky!

boom--

A deafening explosion swept across the entire area, and emerald green energy mixed with smoke and dust shot into the sky!

Amidst the raging energy turbulence, the faint outline of the Honey Serpent could be seen being completely swallowed up!
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, only a huge crater remained on the battlefield, and in the center of the crater lay the Honeybee Serpent, completely unconscious and charred black.

Playing around certainly doesn't guarantee a fatal blow.

But what about the finishing touch, which takes the power to an even higher level?

Shaka remained silent for a moment, then with a somewhat heavy movement, returned the powerless Honeybee to its Poké Ball.

He no longer needed to verify the answer to this question.

The score on the electronic scoreboard, cold and cruel, changed again, becoming a bright 4:2.

The huge score difference strangely calmed Shaka down.

Since the situation has deteriorated to this extent, there's no point in thinking about it anymore.

Consider this a lesson for the kid.

The thought flashed through Shaka's mind, and then, his eyes narrowed as he threw out his last Poké Ball.

A burst of white light flashed on the battlefield, and a dragon shadow that was much larger and had a more stable and restrained aura than Alice's dragon made a fierce appearance!

It was Shaka's truly trusted ace partner, the Salamence that had accompanied him in battles for decades!

Compared to his disciple's young and vigorous Salamence, Shaka's scales were much thicker.

Simply by standing there, the dragon's might emanating from its body seemed to solidify, creating a suffocating sense of oppression out of thin air.

This choice isn't hard to guess; you can't really go for a Garchomp with only a sliver of health left, can you?
What's the difference between that and giving up?
"Salamander—"

Shaka's voice was steady and powerful, carrying absolute trust in his old friend.

"Mega evolution!"

Alice's Salamence Mega Stone was borrowed from him.

Almost the instant Salamence landed, Shaka raised his arm without hesitation and touched the Key Stone.

At the same time, the Mega Stone hanging around Salamence's neck resonated with it, bursting forth with an incredibly dazzling seven-colored evolution light!

Upon seeing this, Xia Chi's expression also became extremely solemn.

He knew all too well that holding back against Shaka, the ace in this state, would be disrespectful to himself.

He immediately raised the Crystal Bead in his hand and shouted, "Magic Mask Meow, Crystallize!"

Two beams of evolutionary light, representing the pinnacle of current trainer technology, simultaneously erupted and shone brightly in the center of the battlefield!

The seven-colored super-evolutionary light and the dazzling Taijing energy complemented each other, illuminating the entire slightly dim venue as if it were daytime, making it impossible to look directly at!
------

Before long, the light faded.

Two spirits, having undergone a brief leap in their life level and resulting in astonishing changes in their forms, appeared before the crowd.

On one side is a super Salamence with twisted wings like a blood-stained crescent moon and an ancient, ferocious aura emanating from its body!

On the other side is Star Crystal Magic Mask Cat, whose body is covered in crystal-clear star crystal armor and emits mysterious starlight!

Super Salamence VS Star Crystal Magic Masked Meow!
This battle has long transcended the scope of ordinary gym battles and risen to another level!
Xia Chi's eyes were incredibly sharp; clearly, he had no intention of holding back.

What he wanted to create was the legendary feat of Magic Masked Cat single-handedly defeating four of Shaka's main Pokémon in a row!
"Magic Masked Cat, Triple Spin!"

Xia Chi was the first to make a move.

Flying Dragon is also four times weaker to ice, and Xia Chi wants to use this strongest move in his hand to take the initiative.

At least through the blood-sucking effect, we need to bring Magic Masked Cat's health and stamina back to a relatively safe level!

Shaka's response was equally shrewd and swift: "Salamander, Heat Wave!"

Compared to the Honeycomb Serpent with its limited move pool, Salamence has a much wider range of available moves.

Not to mention the ice attribute, which is vulnerable to attacks all over its body.

The unpleasantness of the lingering effects of being "covered in sugar" is now fully exposed.

The Magic Masked Meow, which could easily outrun Honeycomb Orochi, now looked like a greenhorn when facing the Mega Evolution of Salamence.

Just as the Magic Masked Cat leaped up and charged toward the Super Salamence, the latter’s twisted Blood Moon Wings flapped violently!
The entire battlefield seemed to instantly transform into a furnace, and a terrifying heat wave, a mixture of visible scorching ripples and twisted flames, swept towards Magic Masked Cat like a tsunami.

The air along the way crackled and popped from the scorching heat!

Mega Salamence already boasts exceptional Special Attack, and now, due to the additional effects of Earth Power and the heavy load from Dragon's Eye, its Special Defense has been significantly reduced!

This double-strength [hot wind] blew and burned the magical masked cat covered by star crystal armor, almost completely incinerating its last bit of life force!

Fortunately, the damage delay settlement mechanism of the artifact [Dance of Death] is powerful enough.

In addition to the large amount of life energy absorbed from the Honey Orochi, Magic Masked Meow actually withstood the impact of this devastating heat wave!

A resolute glint flashed in its crimson eyes, and its petite yet tenacious body forcefully broke through the still raging heatwave, rushing towards the Super Salamence like an ice shuttle going against the current!
Its icy fists, claws, and feet attacked like a storm as its body spun rapidly!

The three-stage damage from the Triple Spin was unleashed on the relatively vulnerable abdomen and wing root junction of the Mega Salamence!
The continuous, heavy thuds were accompanied by a frenzy of ice shards flying everywhere.

The "double STAB bonus for Ice-type moves" brought about by Star Crystallization, combined with the existing four-fold type advantage, is almost equivalent to causing a theoretically terrifying eight times the damage!
The power of this [Triple Spin Strike] has reached an unbelievable level!

"Roar--"

Mega Salamence let out a roar that was a mixture of pain and rage.

Even its formidable defenses, enhanced through super evolution, felt excruciating pain and stiffness under the relentless onslaught of extreme cold!

Its massive body trembled slightly uncontrollably, as if it had instantly fallen from a scorching hell into an extremely cold ice cave, and its movements became somewhat sluggish!

Even though it had just been released from its Poké Ball and was at full strength, the massive body of the Mega Salamence felt slightly cold and stiff, as if it were in an extremely cold place.

Conversely, thanks to the powerful lifesteal effects provided by the [Bloodthirster] and [Dance of Death] equipment, Magic Masked Cat's health and stamina rapidly recover at a visible speed!
Although he is still far from being fully healthy, he has at least escaped the critical ICU state where he could have collapsed at any moment and has recovered a considerable amount of his fighting ability!

"Continue, triple spin!"

Xia Chi, having gained power, was ruthless, issuing orders that followed him like a shadow.

Although it loses the double bonus from its first use after Star Crystallization, the Triple Spin Strike, which has a four-fold advantage, still deals more damage than moves like [Playful].

Xia Chi had no reason not to continue using this move.

Shaka was well aware of this, and almost at the same moment Xia Chi spoke, he roared out the command: "Salamander, take off!"

Type advantage is Magic Masked Meow's strength, and Mega Salamence's unique air superiority over ground targets is something it cannot voluntarily relinquish.

------

Despite the excruciating pain and chill in its abdomen, the Super Salamence unleashed a powerful burst of energy from its ferocious Blood Moon Wings!
Its massive body, which was already suspended in the low air, suddenly rose up from the ground and climbed rapidly like a red phantom!
The sudden ascent cleverly dodged the swift first strike of Magic Masked Cat [Triple Spin]!
Its sharp claws, carrying a chilling aura, suddenly sliced ​​through the air where the Mega Salamence had just stood.

Without Xia Chi's prompting, the battle-experienced Magic Masked Cat reacted almost the instant its attack missed!
The emerald green vines around its neck shot out once more like living serpents, precisely wrapping around the Super Salamence's rising ankles.

Its purpose was not to pull this behemoth down from the sky, but to use its momentum to send itself into the sky and bring the battle into the air!

Xia Ka made a quick decision: "Big Flame Burst, burn the vines!"

The Super Salamence, having just reached a safe altitude, immediately lowered its head, adjusted its angle, and opened its ferocious maw.

The intensely fiery energy was compressed and exploded in his throat in an instant!

Burning a single vine doesn't require much time to store energy.

A large, star-shaped flame, carrying terrifyingly high temperatures that could incinerate everything, shot down precisely, instantly burning the emerald green vines that had just wrapped around its ankles to ashes!

Just as the magical masked cat was about to take off using the vines, it suddenly lost its grip and fell back to the ground in a sorry state.

Before they could even get their footing, the second wave of attacks from Mega Salamence came crashing down from above.

A vast, hot wind, like an invisible wall of flames, pressed down on it!
Xia Chi immediately shouted, "Swallow Return!"

Flying-type moves are obviously not effective against Salamence, but at this moment, it is the only way in the Magic Masked Meow's move set to get close to an aerial opponent as quickly as possible!

The magical masked cat was instantly surrounded by streamlined, flight-type energy currents.

It stomped off the ground with its toes, its body transforming into a white gust of wind, defying the scorching heat wave that poured down, and soared into the sky!

The guaranteed hit of [Aerial Ace] and its speed boost allowed it to break through the blockade of [Heat Wave] and head straight for the Mega Salamence in the sky!

Having already reached its limit by consecutively unleashing [Fire Blast] and [Heat Wave], the Salamence had no time to dodge this Swallow Return.

Despite the lingering heat, the Magic Masked Cat deftly flipped itself in mid-air, landing firmly on the broad back of the Mega Salamence!
Xia Chi's command followed immediately: "Triple Spin Attack!"

On the claws of the Magical Masked Cat, a chilling light rapidly gathered once more, and the deadly cold air aimed directly at the vital spine of the giant dragon beneath its feet!

Shaka's response demonstrated the amazing experience and composure of a veteran trainer: "Dalisk, Body Slam!"

Mega Salamence let out a furious roar, and its massive body suddenly performed a swift side somersault in mid-air!

The magical masked cat, which was gathering cold energy, suddenly lost its balance and point of leverage. It was violently thrown off the dragon's back by the sudden roll and plummeted downwards!
Without the slightest pause, the Super Salamence folded its massive crimson wings and, using the combined force of gravity and its own power, accelerated its dive towards the falling Magic Mask Meow, closing in on it!

The enormous body covered in hard shell pressed down on the petite body of Magic Masked Cat like a small mountain, and a terrifying sense of oppression instantly came over it!
Immediately, its dragon claws locked onto the Magic Masked Cat, pouring all its weight and energy into it.

Like a meteor falling to earth, carrying the Magic Masked Cat, it charged straight down towards the hard rock battlefield below!
The Magical Masked Cat was almost suffocating from the terrifying pressure and the speed of her fall, but a resolute and defiant look flashed in her eyes.

Despite the excruciating pain and being tightly restrained, it still managed to swing its claws with great difficulty!

The chilling light of the Triple Spin Strike struck the chest and abdomen of Mega Salamence repeatedly at extremely close range!
boom--

Ice shards flew wildly between them, and the Mega Salamence let out a painful groan, but still refused to let go of its claws!

next moment.

boom--

The earth-shattering roar shook the entire venue!
As if a meteorite had struck the ground, the incredibly solid rock formation became as fragile as tofu under the terrifying impact, and was actually smashed into a huge crater covered with radial cracks!

Smoke and gravel shot into the sky like a fountain, blotting out the sun!
Thanks to the transformation of the [Flying Skin] attribute, the originally ordinary [Mount Tai Press] has become a flying type.

Not only does it enjoy the 1.3x power boost from its inherent ability, but it also gains a 1.5x boost from Salamence's STAB!
Therefore, even without any elemental advantage, this ultimate attack, which combined gravitational kinetic energy and immense power, still caused extremely terrifying damage to Magic Masked Cat!

Alice, standing on the sidelines, had already instinctively covered her mouth, her eyes fixed on the smoke-filled crater, her heart filled with indescribable tension.

Will Grandpa Shaka win?
The smoke and dust slowly settled.

The sight inside the pit made her gasp for breath.

Magical Masked Cat knelt on one knee, its left paw deeply embedded in the ground to stabilize itself, while its right paw held firmly against the giant claw that the Super Salamence was still trying to press down on!
Her star crystal armor was covered in cracks and its light was dim, indicating that she was seriously injured.

But Magic Masked Cat held on in the end!
------

"Magic Masked Cat, play!"

"Violent Flying Dragon, big word explosion!"

The two commands were shouted out almost simultaneously, before the dust had completely settled.

Xia Chi and Xia Ka knew perfectly well that the outcome of the battle would be decided in the blink of an eye!

Both Pokémon were almost completely exhausted in this extremely fierce head-on clash.

This situation poses an even greater challenge to trainers.

Every subtle difference in instructions, every impromptu response, can directly overturn the course of the battle!

Xia Chi's sudden change of tactics made Xia Ka's heart sink.

It wasn't a triple spin, but just playing around?

You've been figured out again!
In such a decisive moment, the normal thought process is to deal the theoretically highest damage in the shortest time, and the [Triple Spin Strike] with its four-fold counter is undoubtedly the first choice.

Based on this judgment, Shaka chose to use [Big Flame Burst] to counterattack, attempting to suppress his opponent by virtue of the elemental advantage.

But Xia Chi precisely took advantage of his "reasonable" prediction and caught him off guard psychologically!

Because of the immense pressure, the two elves were extremely close together.

Magic Masked Cat didn't even need to lunge; its playful claws, wreathed in pink and purple fairy energy, were already firmly imprinted on the chest of Mega Salamence, which was right in front of it!
bang——

The Fairy type's advantage over the Dragon type is perfectly utilized, resulting in outstanding effects!

The Mega Salamence let out a painful howl, its massive body trembled violently, and a noticeable crack appeared on its chest shell!
In comparison, the damage dealt by Flame Burst, which is not effective against Fairy-types, was rather underwhelming at this moment.

It wasn't bad, but in this life-or-death head-on battle, it failed to deliver the crucial finishing blow!
"Dragon, fly!"

Shaka immediately realized the danger and tried to regain the precious air superiority.

Xia Chi wouldn't let him succeed so easily this time. "Lightning Fist, hit its wings!"

The severe injuries and intense energy depletion prevented Mega Salamence from instantly gaining the speed to take off as it had before.

Just as it struggled to flap its wings in an attempt to lift off the ground, the Magic Masked Cat's claws, crackling with dazzling golden electricity, struck its relatively vulnerable wing root joints like two bolts of lightning!
Shila-

A powerful electric current instantly surged through the Super Salamence's wings, and the intense numbness and stinging sensation made its newly raised wings feel as if they were bound by invisible chains.

After a spasm, it drooped limply, unable to move freely for a short time.

Having failed to gain air superiority, Shaka shouted instead, "Loud blast!"

Dragon-type moves are susceptible to being immune to [Play Rough], and he dared not take that risk.

Despite the numbness in its wings and the excruciating pain throughout its body, the Super Salamence opened its ferocious maw, and powerful sonic energy, strong enough to distort the air, began to converge wildly.

It was about to transform into a destructive torrent of sound, completely engulfing the magical masked cat in front of it!

But Xia Chi had no intention of playing the game anymore, because the time to end it had come!
"Triple Spin Strike!"

Sensing its trainer's determination, Meowth neither dodged nor evaded, but poured all the remaining power in its body into its paws without reservation.

Braving the impending sonic boom, it launched its final charge towards Mega Salamence!

boom--

The terrifying sound wave of [huge noise] was like a real tsunami, instantly engulfing the figure of the Magic Masked Cat!

Her star crystal armor cracked with a teeth-grinding sound under the impact of the sound waves, and her body trembled violently, as if it would disintegrate at any moment.

But the magical masked cat's charge never stopped!
The three blows landed, and the final strike, which gathered all the faith and strength, resolutely imprinted itself into the vital chest and abdomen of the Mega Salamence!
click -

The [loud roar] that the Mega Salamence had gathered halfway through abruptly stopped, its massive body stiffened in place, and the ferocious light in its eyes quickly dimmed.

The super-evolutionary energy surrounding his body dissipated like the receding tide, and he returned to his normal form.

Then, it collapsed heavily into the cracked pit, completely losing its ability to fight.

The numbers on the electronic scoreboard kept changing relentlessly.

5:2!

Magical Masked Cat, achieving a triple kill!
Single-handedly, he defeated three of Gym Leader Shaka's main Pokémon! The outcome of this battle was now a foregone conclusion.

It seems that whether Magic Masked Cat can accomplish the feat of defeating four opponents single-handedly is already a foregone conclusion.

No one believed that Shaka's Garchomp, already severely weakened, posed any real threat to the unstoppable Magic Masked Meow.

And indeed, just as everyone expected.

Amidst the torrent of comments scrolling wildly in the live stream, Shaka sent out his last Pokémon, a battered Garchomp.

No miracle happens.

Xia Chi didn't even need to use complicated tactics anymore; he simply directed Miao Ha to gather the last of his power.

With a clean and decisive triple strike, this thrilling battle came to a close.

Garchomp fell to the ground.

The score is now 6:2!

[Triple Spin Attack earned MVP; Magic Masked Cat was just coasting to victory!]

[Winning by doing nothing! (Correction)]

[6:2 is terrifying! This kind of overwhelming dominance and performance is so incredible, even if Aldak came in, he probably couldn't guarantee he could pull it off.]

[People used to say that Prison Water was only strong in 3v3, but now it seems that most opponents can't even force him to use his fourth Pokémon!]

[It feels like the champion of the Dark-type Specialist Tournament can already be declared the winner!]

[I've only ever heard of champagne being opened at halftime, and now they're opening champagne before the game even starts? Are they already a shoo-in for the championship?!]

"Bro, think about what other Pokémon are still unused after the Prison Water dungeon: Mega Latias, Urshifu, Victini."

[Ponpon and Millerton have disappeared, right?]

[If we actually brought out those overpowered Pokémon, wouldn't that be too much of a rip-off?]

【.】

------

"too strong"

On the sidelines, Alice, who had turned off the live stream, muttered to herself in a daze.

Her purple eyes reflected the chaotic scene on the battlefield, and her mind kept replaying the image of the Magic Masked Meow defeating her teacher's four main Pokémon with overwhelming force.

Especially the final scene where she delivered the decisive blow despite the [loud noise], the impact of which was unparalleled.

A complex and indescribable emotion surged within her, a mixture of admiration, awe, and a faint sense of self-doubt.

She whispered unconsciously, "So, what happened between us a few days ago was just a fling?"

Although she lost that street fight, she felt she still had a fighting chance.

But witnessing this all-out battle today allowed her to truly glimpse the unfathomable and terrifying corner beneath Xia Chi's icy exterior.

Alice's highly ambiguous remark caused a rare flicker of emotion to appear on Cattleya's delicate, doll-like face.

She said calmly, "There's no need to doubt yourself because of this. Xia Chi is someone who can't be measured or compared by common sense."

Alice turned her head to look at this unfathomably powerful psychic-type champion, and couldn't help but blurt out the question in her mind: "Miss Gadria, if it were you, could you defeat Teacher Xia Chi?"

Upon hearing this, Gadriya pondered for a moment, seemingly seriously considering the question.

Then, she replied seriously, "That depends on whether it's a regular match or a free-for-all."

Alice: "."

The meaning of this sentence is already quite clear.

In a standard battle, following the league rules, both Pokémon fought fairly, and Elite Four member Cattleya felt her chances of winning were slim.

If it's a wild battle, maybe we can have a "battle between trainers" before Xia Chi throws out his Pokémon?
"So powerful that even you, Celestial Queen Cattleya, can't do anything about it?"

Alice took a slight breath, her voice filled with disbelief and emotion.

She originally thought that a trainer at the Elite Four level should be able to easily suppress Xia Chi.

Gadriya glanced at Alice, just as she thought the young curator would feel discouraged or even frustrated.

But then he saw an unprecedented fighting spirit igniting in Alice's amethyst-like eyes.

"I understand!"

Alice clenched her fist tightly. "I must work twice as hard and desperately catch up with Teacher Xia Chi!"

Gadriya's lips curled up slightly.

With such character and fighting spirit, perhaps, as Xia Chi said, she will become the future of the United Alliance.

------

On the battlefield, the moment Garchomp fell, Xia Chi recalled Meowth into its Poké Ball.

Although on the surface, Magical Masked Cat seems to be standing stubbornly and has not been judged to have lost its ability to fight.

However, Xia Chi could clearly sense through the power of waveguides that her condition was now riddled with holes.

Most of the damage that Meowha had previously taken was forcibly delayed and suppressed by the effect of the artifact [Dance of Death].

It was entirely due to its powerful blood-sucking ability that it was sustaining itself through war, barely clinging to its last breath.

Now that the battle is over and there are no more opponents to drain blood from, the delayed but terrifying damage will likely explode within seconds, at which point the Magic Masked Cat will inevitably fall instantly.

The stable energy field inside the Poké Ball can stop the injury, and Xia Chi naturally doesn't want Meowha to suffer any more unnecessary pain.

The Dragonair, who had been watching the entire battle from the side, stared at the Magic Masked Meowth that had been returned to its Poké Ball with sparkling eyes, its gaze filled with longing.

In the days since it joined the team, it has never seen Magic Masked Cat fight seriously at full strength.

Unexpectedly, the first time I saw it, it brought a great shock to the little thing.

The fierce-looking dragon-type Pokémon opposite them fell to the ground as if they were being executed in a row.

So elves can be this powerful?
It let out a soft, slightly confused whimper: "Fuee."

Can I really become that strong?

As if sensing the little guy's anxiety, a warm hand gently pressed on its smooth, cool head.

Xia Chi lowered her head and gave Haklong a gentle and encouraging smile: "Don't worry, you'll soon be as good as Miaoha and the others!"

It's not just empty promises.

Once it evolves into Dragonite through star upgrades and is equipped with some decent gear, Dragonite's potential won't be much less than that of Meowth.

Not to mention it can also undergo super evolution.

Haklong looked up at Xia Chi's eyes, which were full of affirmation and trust, and the slight unease in his heart instantly vanished.

At this moment, it has unconditional trust and admiration for the trainer who led it to see the vast world.

It nodded its little head vigorously, its eyes once again filled with determination and longing.

One day, I will become a powerful elf like Meowha!

After encouraging Hakron, Xia Chi straightened his clothes and strode towards the center of the battlefield.

The curator of the Shaka Pavilion has also come over from the other side.

Xia Chi stopped and solemnly extended his palm to this senior.

He said sincerely, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Shaka. I have benefited greatly from this battle."

This was not just a polite remark; Shaka's decisive decisions in adversity and his grasp of battlefield details did indeed inspire him.

Shaka reached out and shook hands with him, a bitter smile on his face, and shook his head: "I didn't let you have your fill. It seems that my old bones really can't keep up with you young people."

In a full-scale 6v6 battle, the opponent ended the fight by only sending out three Pokémon.

The disparity in strength between the two sides was fully demonstrated in this match.

Xia Chi quickly waved his hand, his tone still sincere: "Senior Xia Ka, you are too modest. There is much I can learn from your experience and on-the-spot command."

His words were not entirely flattery.

It would be a stretch to ask him to praise Shaka's team composition or attribute combinations against his will.

After all, they were veteran trainers, and focusing on a single attribute was a popular trend of that era.

While Dragon-type Pokémon are generally incredibly powerful, they are indeed easy to counter.

Not to mention that Shaka's Pokémon are all Ground Dragons, Flying Dragons, Grass Dragons, etc., which makes Meowha's [Triple Spin Strike] a critical hit every time.

The fact that Xia Ka was able to achieve a 1v4 victory was largely due to the fact that his team composition was too weak.

It's fair to say that before Miaoha appeared, the situation was at most a 70/30 split between the two sides.

If Shaka's team composition could be like that of Champion Cynthia or Champion Leon, with more reasonable attribute combinations and richer tactical layers.

With his solid skills and extensive experience, even if he ultimately loses, he will definitely be able to force Xia Chi to use all his trump cards.

However, Xia Chi also understands that at Xia Ka's age and status, it is no longer realistic to train new main Pokémon on a large scale and adjust the entire tactical system.

Therefore, Xia Chi did not comment much on these aspects.

Hearing Xia Chi's humble yet sincere and respectful remarks, Xia Ka's goodwill towards this junior only increased.

But he was well aware of the reasons for his defeat, and he laughed self-deprecatingly: "Alright, let's not waste time with these formalities. Let's go, let's hurry to the Pokémon Center and get the Pokémon treated."

"That's how it should be."

Xia Chi nodded with a smile.

Amidst laughter and conversation, the two stepped off the field to treat the elf.

------

While waiting for the elf to heal, Xia Chi, as usual, focused his thoughts on the system interface in his mind.

After all, this was his first 6v6 all-out battle, and his opponent was Shaka, a top-tier Dragon-type master in the Unova region.

The sheer scale and scale of this harvest are sure to be something to look forward to, both in terms of quality and quantity.

And Tongzi did not disappoint Xia Chi.

On the light screen, rows of data are clearly listed.

Of the six Pokémon, the lowest was 17.6, achieved in the battle between Meowth and Snake.

The highest score was 27.9 for Meowha vs. Mega Salamence.

Throughout the entire 6v6 battle, Xia Chi accumulated a total of over 120 fear points!
If it weren't for sending out Dragonair, this would be almost equivalent to the total amount you would get from defeating the main Pokémon of more than a dozen ordinary Gym Leaders!

Shaka's strength is evident.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Xia Chi promptly opened the newly unearthed Treasure Chest of Fear.

The fact that the fixed NPC Pokémon fragment belonged to Tyranitar left him somewhat disappointed.

There are definitely more and more Pokémon in the team now, and it really takes a bit of luck to get the Dragonite fragment you desperately need in one go.

For Tyranitar to advance from two stars to three stars, he still needs a full four fragments, a long way to go.

Xia Chi couldn't possibly use the two more valuable "Ditto fragments" on it, so it seemed that this Tyranitar fragment would have to gather dust in the system inventory for the time being.

Next up is the lucky lantern.

He hadn't gotten the key item with the "indicator" function after opening the lucky lantern twice in a row, so he didn't have high hopes.

But this time, the lucky lantern gave him a surprise.

[The large lucky lantern has been activated! Congratulations, host, you have obtained: "Underwater Ruins" map *1!]

"Underwater ruins?"

Xia Chi raised an eyebrow as he looked at the scroll with the color of ancient parchment that had appeared in the prop warehouse, and related memories instantly surfaced in his mind.

That place is closely associated with ancient legends of the Unova region.

In his memory, this place is deeply connected to Meloetta in the anime storyline.

Furthermore, hidden deep within the ruins is a crucial item concerning the Unova Form of the Three Cloud Gods—the "Mirror of Manifestation."

What does it mean that the system is showing me this map at this time?
Xia Chi fell into deep thought.

What does this signify?
Or is it guiding me there to trigger some event?

He immediately thought of the relevant animated plot.

In that story, Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket in the Kanto region, used Meloetta's song to open the final secret door of the underwater ruins and successfully retrieved the Reveal Mirror.

He then used the power of the Revealing Mirror to control and forcibly transform the three Pokémon—Tornado, Thundurus, and Landorus—into their berserk "Spirit Beast Forms," ​​attempting to achieve his ambition of controlling the Unova region.

But in this timeline, will the Rockets and Giovanni really appear?
Xia Chi could not confirm.

After all, animation is animation, and reality is reality; many plot points may not be completely replicated.

He could only hope that it wouldn't happen.

The situation in the Unova region is already complex enough.

The Plasma Team's Genesect Legion and Kyurem are already annoying enough.

N's stance is also somewhat ambiguous, as if he is brewing his own "ideal".

If at this moment, another extremely dangerous leader like Giovanni, with both strength and ambition, were to disrupt things...
Even Xia Chi found it somewhat troublesome.

Anyway, now that we have the map of the underwater ruins, we definitely have to go there.

After dealing with matters in Twin Dragons City, we will go to the Dragon Spiral Tower to fully awaken Reshiram.

Then we went to explore these underwater ruins.

Xia Chi made this decision in her heart.

------

They said they were going to deal with the issues in Shuanglong City, but there wasn't really anything to deal with.

I've already defeated Shaka's six strongest Pokémon. The remaining ones, as well as Alice's Pokémon, are just minor losses.

However, it's also good to let Hakron accumulate more battle experience.

Especially now that it has just watched its companions' battle performances, its fighting spirit is incredibly high.

But ultimately, waking Reshiram is more important—

At least that's how it seems to Shaka and Gadriya.

In fact, Xia Chi and Leishirambenlong were not in a hurry at all.

But they kept urging me on.

After staying in Twin Dragons City for only two more days, Xia Chi and Gadalia prepared to leave.

Head west to Snowflake City, the city closest to the Dragon Spiral Tower.

The area between Shuanglong City and Xuehua City is a vast plain or forest, and there is not even a decent large city in between.

That's just how the Unova region is.

It is a vast area with a sparse population, and most of the population is concentrated in metropolitan areas such as Feiyun City, Raven City, or Liyong City.

So even riding Milerton, it was inevitable that we would have to rest several times along the way to Snowflake City.

It's not that Millerton is tired; for it, this is nothing.
Even if the speed limit were lifted and it flew around the ten regions, it probably wouldn't even have time to catch its breath.

The main reason was that Xia Chi and Gadalia were a little tired.

In addition, there are eating, drinking, and other physiological needs.

After flying intermittently for two or three hours, Xia Chi finally saw the iconic towering snow-capped mountain.

We've arrived in Xuehua City.
