Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 440 Mewtwo, your acting skills are terrible too. Learn from Keldeo!

"Gentleman Li Xuan, I am Pine Leaf, the gym leader of Ecruteak Gym. It is an honor to have a thrilling battle with a trainer like you."

When he said this, Songye's tone was somewhat languid.

There's a feeling that I want to give up.

He knew everything about Li Xuan.

Previously, when surfing at the dojo, Matsuba had watched a lot of live streams about Li Xuan.

No matter what Pokémon Li Xuan uses, it seems he can wipe out his entire team completely.

Looking at the blond-haired young man with a purple-black scarf around his neck, Li Xuan greeted him in return: "Hello, I am Li Xuan, the gym leader of the Fighting Dojo. This is my first time seriously battling a Ghost-type trainer. Please give me your guidance."

Li Xuan wasn't lying.

He has never battled a proper Ghost-type Trainer.

Previously, my interactions with Wanlong were limited to chatting; we had never fought against each other.

The few times he battled Ghost-type Pokémon was against Gengar, which Ash had picked up.

The number of other matches I've had can be counted on one hand.

"Hehe, let's wait and see then~"

Songye nodded and touched his waist.

Li Xuan then took out the Master Ball.

At this time.

The photographer pointed the camera at Li Xuan and Song Ye, giving them a close-up.

The scene of the Master Ball appears.

This sparked heated discussions online.

Why is that Poké Ball purple? I don't think I've ever seen it before.

[Yeah, this Poké Ball looks really high-end. Does anyone know what kind of Poké Ball it is?]

[I don't understand. Maybe you should ask Silver Company? They're a big company that makes Poké Balls; they might know something.]

[Wasn't Silver Company just bombed? Are you sure they had time to watch the live stream?]

If Silvercorp hadn't been bombed, the designers at Silvercorp would definitely have come out to explain the Master Ball at this point.

pity.

The Silver Company was bombed.

This has led many trainers from other regions to wonder if the feng shui of Goldenrod City is a bit bad.

Previously, the Goldenrod Gym was bombed, and not long ago, the Silver Company was also bombed.

It has some connection to terrorists.

"That Poké Ball is...?"

Song Ye's lazy gaze suddenly became clear.

"This is a Poké Ball that Silver Company gave me. It's called a Master Ball. I only have one, and it has the capacity to catch legendary Pokémon."

Although even ordinary Poké Balls can catch legendary Pokémon.

However, when these words came from Li Xuan, the meaning was somewhat different.

The audience's attention was also focused on the Master Ball in Li Xuan's hand, eagerly anticipating which Pokémon he would send out next.

"Master Ball... If I remember correctly, Li Xuan used a Memorial Ball when he captured Reshiram, right?"

Li Xuan watched every single one of his matches, paying close attention to the different types of boards he used and recording details of each one.

There are absolutely no Pokémon among them that were captured by Master Balls.

Li Xuan has a strange obsession with the type of Pokémon he catches when using a particular Pokémon; it's best if he uses the exact Pokémon he's catching.

Currently, which Pokémon can counter the Master Ball?

seemingly……

hiss!
Banmu gasped.

Suddenly I remembered that Mewtwo's color scheme seems to match Master Ball quite well!

Masaka?!

Giovanni quickly sent a message to Mewtwo to see if it would reply.

[ROCKET: Please reply upon receipt.]

[Counterattack: Reply.]

"call……"

Banmu breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought Li Xuan had captured my Mewtwo.

Fortunately, Mewtwo replied to him immediately, otherwise he would have been terrified.

"Dream Demon, you'll be the one to make your debut in the first battle."

Matsuba's first Pokémon was Mismagius.

Wearing a witch's hat, her deep purple body resembled that of a witch, as if she were dressed in a witch's robe.

Pokémon: Mismagius

[Attribute: Ghost]

【Level: 55】

[Moves: Omitted]

"Such an adorable level..."

Having seen so many Elite Four level Pokémon, level 55 is now like a baby in Li Xuan's eyes.

In this situation, should I still send out Mewtwo?
Li Xuan smacked his lips, feeling that even if Mewtwo suppressed its strength, it would still be able to easily win the battle.

With its sheer strength, no matter how much Mewtwo tries to bluff, Pinetree's Mismagius probably won't be able to break through Mewtwo's defenses, right?

"Hurry, hurry, I want to fight."

Mewtwo's urgent voice entered Li Xuan's mind.

Li Xuan had no choice but to throw the Master Ball forward.

"Drink!"

As this angry shout resounded throughout the entire arena, Mewtwo, also known as the second Mewtwo, made her grand entrance!

Banmu: ?
He just sent a message to Mewtwo, and Mewtwo replied, right?

Banmu didn't think he was stupid enough to daydream.

If it's not one of our own upstarts, then who is this Mewtwo?

and many more!

Giovanni suddenly remembered that he had sent Mewtwo to Team Plasma in the Unova region to build Mewtwo 2.

In other words, Mewtwo 2 was created, and then Li Xuan beat him to it and caught it ahead of time?!
Thinking about this, Itagaki felt that the possibility of this was very high.

But damn it, Li Xuan, what's the meaning of sending Mewtwo out so openly?!

Do you really think you can disregard me, Banmu?!
Oh……

It really is.

Banmu thought that Li Xuan was unaware of his true identity.

Sending out Mewtwo directly seems quite reasonable...

What a ghost!
Giovanni was getting a little frustrated. If Li Xuan used a Master Ball to capture other Pokémon, even Mew, he wouldn't think much of it.

But why was it Mewtwo that he caught?!

This was the culmination of the Rockets' life's work, their strongest trump card for a counterattack against the league, and yet it was so easily won over by Li Xuan!

Banmu found it hard to swallow this insult.

He couldn't lash out, so he could only sulk in silence.

……

On the field.

"Are you my opponent? You look rather weak."

Mewtwo used its psychic powers to scan Mismagius and found that Mismagius's strength was really too weak.

"Mewmee?" (Huh? I'm weak? I'm not bragging, but I'm one of the top three Ghost Pokémon in Ecruteak City!)
Mismagius was unconvinced. Although it didn't know how powerful the humanoid Pokémon in front of it was, it didn't seem to be that powerful.

"Mewtwo, how dare you be so rude!"

Just as Chao Meng was about to erupt, Li Xuan spoke up and stopped it.

"Oh."

Mewtwo concealed its aura, suppressing its strength to the same level as Mismagius, and then beckoned to it.

"Come here on horseback."

Completely bewildered by what had happened, Matsuba quickly shouted and entered battle mode: "Dream Demon, stealthy attack!"

Mismagius is indeed a weak physical attacker, and this Phantom Assault move was only used to evade Mewtwo's psychic scan. "Mewtwo~"

As Mismagius crept into the shadows, Mewtwo's familiar attack triggered its sudden agitation.

Previously, the abandoned monkey used this trick to make its mentality somewhat collapse.

How come this rookie dream demon can use the Spirit Sneak Attack?!
"Don't panic."

Li Xuan used his Aura to calm Mewtwo's volatile emotions and suppress its overflowing psychic powers.

"Humph."

Mewtwo snorted coldly, crossed its arms in front of its chest, and exhaled a few breaths.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Not far behind Mewtwo, in an open space, an unprecedentedly powerful ghost energy erupted.

The nightmare demon is about to appear!

"A spiritual weapon."

Swish!

Without turning its head, Mewtwo swung its hand backward, and the Psychic Blade shot out with a piercing shriek!

Just then, the Dream Demon quietly appeared, and the shadow sphere formed by the gem on its chest rushed towards it.

The two energies collided violently in mid-air, exploding into a sky full of purple and blue fragments of light, and the dissipated energy eroded the ground with honeycomb-like dents!
"Magic flame!"

The dream demon remained motionless, its eyes suddenly igniting with ghostly flames.

Three dazzling magical flames shot out in a triangular formation, crashing towards Mewtwo!
"Strong mental thoughts."

Mewtwo's pupils shone brightly with blue light, and its powerful mental energy transformed into an invisible giant hand that pressed down fiercely.

The brilliant flames were crushed into scattered sparks before they even got close, and then vanished in a rustling sound.

Their moves collided and annihilated each other in mid-air, and Songye's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

The Dream Demon attacks with all its might, its surging ghostly flames carrying a do-or-die determination.

Mewtwo remained standing still, its breathing rhythm never faltering.

It even had the leisure to sweep away the embers from the energy collision with the tip of its tail, as if it had just blocked not a fatal attack, but a wisp of willow catkins brushing against its face...

The difference in strength between the two seems too great.

"Li Xuan, how is my control over my strength?"

"Too bad."

"???"

Mewtwo had been hoping to take credit, but Li Xuan's words left it completely dumbfounded.

"I told you to control your strength, but do you look like you're controlling it? You've been seen through immediately. What's the point of this pretense?"

Li Xuan was speechless.

He didn't make Mewtwo suppress its power so that it could cancel out other people's moves.

The goal is to achieve an effect that barely defeats someone, rather than something that is obviously mocking them.

The two have different meanings and different levels of understanding.

Mewtwo's move is obviously fake; anyone with eyes can see that it's just playing with its opponent like a cat playing with a mouse!
We might as well just crush them.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

"This……"

Mewtwo thought its acting skills were great, but in Li Xuan's eyes, it was a complete zero.

"Alright, let's keep it up."

Li Xuan gestured for Mewtwo to return to his side.

Then, after giving Cheren a look, he suddenly shouted, "Keldio, it's your turn!"

The Poké Ball landed, and Keldeo tilted its head back. Despite the broken horn on its head, its determination to defeat the enemy remained undiminished!
"Oh? I didn't expect Gym Leader Li Xuan to recall that unknown Pokémon first and then send out Keldeo instead! Does Gym Leader Li Xuan have some special methods?"

"However, Master Matsuba didn't use his unique technique, so it's really hard to say who will win this battle."

The forum moderator, Teacher Yi, continued to provide commentary.

As soon as he said that, the live chat erupted in laughter.

[The number one person to blatantly lie, but since the teacher is an interpreter, he can't openly side with anyone, which is understandable.]

[But it's hard to keep this up. The Pine Leaf Gym Leader is being pressured by Li Xuan, and that Pokémon switch just now was clearly an attempt to hold back.]

[I know the answer to this question. Keldeo, a Water/Fighting-type Pokémon, definitely got a weaker version.]

……

Pokémon: Keldeo

【Level: 55】

This is Keldeo's current level of strength.

It's comparable to Misdreavus, making them evenly matched opponents.

Song Ye's tense heartstrings relaxed.

Keldeo is clearly not on the same level as Mewtwo.

Looks like he's easy to bully.

"Dream Demon, use Magic Leaf!"

Song Ye had just finished speaking.

The gem on Mismagius's chest shone brightly, and countless leaves fell down, shooting out in unison as if locked onto Keldeo!

Swish swish!
Magic leaves shrouded the arena, a dark mass adorned with dazzling arcs of light, as they swarmed in!

"Keldio, Icy Wind!"

Speaking of which, Keldeo's Ice Wind move was actually learned from Kyurem.

The atmosphere between the two when learning this move was particularly strange, almost like hell.

Fortunately, Keldeo has excellent comprehension, and even Kyurem, his fourth mentor, praised Keldeo's talent highly.

Huhuhu~
Keldeo galloped forward, its broken horn suddenly flashing with a chilling light. A freezing wind, carrying shards of ice, howled out, colliding head-on with the swirling magical leaves!

The magic leaf was frozen by the extreme cold into countless ice crystals that crashed to the ground, turning into specks of starlight and dissipating completely.

However, the number of magic leaves was too dense, and Keldeo tried his best to defend with his horns, but gradually he appeared to be overwhelmed.

"Keep your mind steady and use the holy sword to clear the way!"

Li Xuan's command resounded like the tolling of a bell.

Keldeo adjusted his breathing, and the broken horn suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, his fighting energy condensing into a light blade several meters long that swept out!

Magic leaves exploded one after another, and Keldeo managed to cleave a crack in the overwhelming attack.

"What a terrifying power..."

Matsuba was also shocked by the holy sword that Keldeo unleashed.

But the situation just now also clarified one thing.

That is, Keldeo is not invincible!

Thinking of this, Songye mustered his courage and his tone gradually became more impassioned: "Dream Demon, Magic Shine!"

The Dream Demon is adept at using "light" attacks.

The gem on its chest shone brightly, and fairy energy surged out like waves, transforming into a dazzling fan-shaped wave of light that swept across the battlefield!
Having just unleashed the Holy Sword, Keldeo was caught off guard and struck precisely in one fell swoop. Had it not been for its relatively small stature, it would likely have taken the full damage.

"See? That's how you have to act to be considered qualified."

Li Xuan said this without blushing.

As soon as these words came out.

Mewtwo was filled with awe.

I thought Keldeo was really bad.

Was it all an act?

It seems I really need to learn from Keldeodoga in terms of energy control.

(Keldio: 6)

Because the conversation was conducted through the power of aura, Keldeo could also hear Li Xuan and Mewtwo's conversation.

This made its little face turn red.

Don’t say anything else.

It really didn't dodge, that's why it got hit.
