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

Chapter 441 Dragon Crossing: I knew Li Xuan could do it, do you want to be the champion of the Kanto region?
"Keldio, now it's time to show your true skills!"

"learn!"

Hearing Li Xuan give him a way out, Keldeo knew he had to show his true strength.

Despite always being attacked or on its way to being attacked, its actual strength is unmatched by ordinary Pokémon.

It is Keldeo, the Mythical Pokémon!

The apprentice of the Three Swordsmen and Kyurem, the Three Dragons of the Way!
With such a formidable lineup, Keldeo refused to believe it could be defeated by other ordinary Pokémon!
"Dream Demon, use your Charm!"

Songye fought with increasing courage, but made a wrong decision.

Use charm to lower the opponent's Pokémon's Attack stat.

Normally, if you can hit the target, you'll definitely cut off one of your opponent's arms.

But here's the thing.

Keldeo is a special attacker.

In other words.

Using her charm was useless and only gave Keldeo a chance to counterattack.

This is normal.

Although Keldeo uses Ice Wind, it mostly uses Holy Sword, leading Matsuba to believe that Keldeo is a physical attacker.

This led to the decision we just made.

"Keldio, use Water Spray to approach Mismagius."

Li Xuan went along with it. Since you're using cuteness, he'll have Keldeo pretend to be a physical attacker Pokémon to achieve your goal!
Upon hearing this, Song Ye couldn't help but smile, as if he could already see himself taking down Li Xuan.

Keldio, enveloped in surging torrents, hurtled along the ground like an arrow released from a bow, heading straight for Misdreavus.

"Mengmeng~"

The dream demon stood ready, its body rippling with dazzling fairy energy.

It winked playfully, and countless heart-shaped light projectiles flew out gracefully, gently disappearing into Keldeo's torrent.

The originally raging water flow suddenly became docile and slow, as if its power had been greatly reduced by magic.

Ignoring the diminishing energy around him, Keldeo resolutely broke free from the shackles of fairy energy and charged straight at Mismagius.

Immediately afterwards——

Boom! ! !

A violent jet of high-pressure water erupted from its broken horn, slamming into the Dream Demon like a giant dragon.

The deafening roar of the exploding water shook the battlefield. The Dream Demon was sent flying by this sudden attack and slammed hard against the wall!

Boom!
The dream monster's eyes rolled up, clearly indicating that it could no longer continue fighting.

"Mismagius is unable to battle. Please, Gym Leader Matsuba, bring out the next Pokémon."

Li Xuan won the first battle again.

Pine Leaf recalled the Dream Demon and had a new idea.

Let's not even talk about Mewtwo; it looks like it's completely overpowered.

But the Cadillac is different.

This is clearly a problem for ordinary Pokémon.

Battling against this kind of Pokémon, Matsuba felt that she might actually be able to turn the tide.

I also have two Pokémon.

With two Pokémon holding out against him, Pine Leaf refused to believe it. Could it be that three against one couldn't take down one of Li Xuan's Pokémon?
No matter how strong it is, it can't be this strong, right?

Song Ye grew more and more courageous as he thought about it. A strange power surged through his body, making him feel enhanced and ready to go for it!
"Wandering Night Spirit, the second match is up to you."

Pine's second Pokémon was a one-eyed Pokémon whose entire body was wrapped in bandages.

Pokémon: Dusclops

[Attribute: Ghost]

【Level: 57】

[Characteristics: sense of oppression]

[Techniques: Spells, Sharing Pain, Spiritual Spells, Resentment, Parting Gift.]

[Item Received: Evolution Stone]

Li Xuan: …

Bro, is it really that serious?
Using a Wandering Eidolon is one thing, but bringing an Evolution Stone is another?!
Do the skills you've learned resemble normal skills?!
You're offering to share the pain, aren't you? You're playing dirty tricks, aren't you?
"This guy's really intimidating, boss. What should we do next?"

The two sides are roughly equal in strength.

Keldeo felt powerless due to the [Oppressive] characteristic of the Wandering Night Spirit.

"What should we do? Let's just come back."

Li Xuan didn't want to waste time with Dusknoir, so after recalling Keldeo, he said directly to Mewtwo, "Don't hold back, just show your power."

"Ok?"

Although it's unclear why Li Xuan's attitude changed so drastically, being able to win such a crushing victory must have been very satisfying for Mewtwo, who has been feeling frustrated lately.

Mewtwo is back!
"Oh? I didn't expect that Gym Leader Li Xuan would actually send that powerful unknown Pokémon back into the battle against Dusknoir, which was sent out by Gym Leader Pine Leaf. Do you have some secret weapon that can target Ghost-type Pokémon?"

The forum moderator B didn't quite understand Li Xuan's reasons for doing this, but since Li Xuan sent out Mewtwo again, he must have his own considerations.

He, as the commentator, only needs to provide commentary; let's see how Li Xuan handles the situation.

【The wandering spirit of the Pine Leaf Pavilion Master... I was truly disgusted by it.】

[Does anyone know what's going on? Gym Leader Matsuba has sent out his Evolution Stone, Dusclops, again!]

[Oh my god! Lord Wandering Night Spirit!]

Many of the commenters were trainers who had been annoyed by Matsuha's Dusknoir.

Everyone wanted to see if Li Xuan could help them get revenge.

I wonder who started promoting this kind of underworld tactic!
Even with the use of taunting moves, the Nightshade's inherent tankiness is an insurmountable wall.

It’s hard to resist!

I just don't know how Li Xuan will fight.

Mewtwo, Psychic Destruction!

Li Xuan chose to crush his opponent.

Mewtwo hovered in mid-air, a cold smile curving his lips.

It held its hands outstretched, its superpowers compressing and condensing wildly in its palms, transforming into a dark energy ball that kept spinning and expanding.

The surface of the sphere was rippled with ominous patterns, and the terrifying pressure emanating from it caused the wandering night spirits below to tremble violently, their single, ghostly eyes filled with fear.

Great horror!
Before Pine Leaf could react, Mewtwo had already ruthlessly hurled the Psychic Destroyer!

Although its power has been somewhat reduced, it is still a devastating blow to the Wandering Night Spirit!

Boom! ! !
With a deafening roar, the energy ball exploded, the ground shattered, and the violent shockwave completely engulfed the wandering night spirits!
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, the Wandering Night Spirit lay dead in the ruins, incapacitated.

Song Ye fell silent, his pupils trembling slightly.

With a single strike, it completely crushed Dusknoir; such power is something even Elite Four level Pokémon cannot match!
After all, only he knew just how outrageous the Wandering Night Spirits he had nurtured truly were.

But now, Mewtwo has defeated them in one fell swoop...

That explains it.

The Pokémon in front of us has reached Champion level!
……

……

In the exclusive seats reserved for the Four Heavenly Kings outside the arena, Yu Longdu's pupils suddenly contracted.

He stared intently at Mewtwo in the arena, his knuckles gripping his cape tightly.

He knows this Pokémon very well!

Back when they were besieging Team Rocket at Yuhong Game City, it was this purple figure who tore through the defenses and led the Team Rocket leader away from the scene right in front of him.

The powerful mental force that pierced through the underground base that day still vibrates in his dreams.

But why...

Why is the one that should belong to Team Rocket's ultimate weapon standing beside Li Xuan at this moment?
Seemingly noticing Yu Longdu's gaze, Li Xuan turned around and gave him a thumbs up.

This action immediately stabilized Yulongdu.

Yes, he has witnessed all of Li Xuan's achievements.

Even if he really is the leader of the Rockets, we can't just explode at him here, can we?
Li Xuan, as if sensing something, looked back at Yulongdu. Meeting the other party's surprised and uncertain gaze, he suddenly curled up the corners of his lips and gave him a bright thumbs up.

This movement caused Yulongdu's tense shoulders to relax suddenly.

Yes, he had personally witnessed many of the things this young man had done.

If there were any hidden dangers, Li Xuan, given his personality, would never have been so calm.

Yu Longdu shook his head and chuckled, casting his doubts behind him along with his cloak.

At least, he was willing to believe that Li Xuan would give him a reasonable explanation.

……

……

"Gengar is unable to battle. Since all of Gym Leader Pinewood's Pokémon are unable to battle, Gym Leader Li Xuan is the winner of this battle!"

The results were announced.

As expected, the winner was indeed Li Xuan.

Pine Leaf gave a wry smile and recalled Gengar.

He had originally planned to use a Destiny Bond move to see if he could trade one for one with Li Xuan's Mewtwo.

As a result, Mewtwo moved too fast and defeated Gengar in one move before it could even use its attack.

The outcome of this battle is already decided.

Li Xuan left the field.

I met Yulongdu waiting in the contestant tunnel.

"Li Xuan, that Pokémon..."

Yu Longdu hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

"That's right, it's the same Pokémon as the one in Yuhong Game City back then."

Li Xuan readily admitted it.

"I see... wait, you mean this is the same Pokémon?"

Yu Longdu clearly noticed the difference in Li Xuan's words.

The same Pokémon, so aren't they from the same family?!

These Pokémon even have races?!
"Ahem, let me explain."

Li Xuan coughed lightly, which brought Yu Longdu's attention back to the present.

"Let's talk as we walk; it's not something that can be explained in a short time."

The idea of ​​creating artificial Pokémon is still too far-fetched.

Even with the example of Genesect from Team Plasma, it's hard to accept that Mewtwo can continuously improve its strength and rival the legendary Pokémon.

Li Xuan walked in front, with Yu Longdu following behind.

"Mewtwo is an artificial Pokémon developed by Team Rocket. When Team Rocket's base was destroyed, Team Plasma scientist Acroma picked up Mewtwo's data."

"Elite Four member, you know him. During the escort of Acromima, Gym Leader Giovanni was attacked by Mewtwo, and then Mewtwo took Acromima back to Team Plasma."

"Later, I also joined Team Plasma. After arresting the seven sages of Team Plasma, Ghetsis, Team Plasma was leaderless. It seems that Team Plasma recently left the Unova region, but I don't know where they went."

"This Mewtwo was created by Akroma and was manufactured by Team Plasma. For some reason, it ended up with me. I felt a connection with it, so I caught it as well."

Li Xuan's account of the whole story was both detailed and concise.

You'll understand immediately if you ride the dragon across.

"So, this Mewtwo was created by Team Plasma, and then it betrayed us and joined you?"

"Yes."

Li Xuan nodded.

"Well done, as expected of Master Li Xuan. It is truly a blessing for our alliance to have you in the Kanto and Johto regions."

Yu Longdu couldn't help but laugh.

This makes him the undisputed third Legendary player.

"By the way, have you ever planned to become the champion of the Kanto region? I think with your current strength, becoming the champion is no problem at all."

Yulongdu extended an invitation to Li Xuan.

"Well, I think I still need to gain some experience."

Li Xuan didn't want to be the champion.

Don't be fooled by how prestigious the title of champion sounds.

but.

At least half of all trainers who have been champions want to step down while they are in power.

Daigo, Michael, Cynthia, and Alder are four people who are good at stepping down.

Especially the first two.

If someone doesn't want to continue, they pass the championship to someone else, and then when that person doesn't want to continue, they reluctantly take it back, making it seem like the championship position is unlucky.

Green and crimson have also been champions.

The former was pulled down by the red, while the latter held the championship for a period of time before relinquishing it.

Because the Kanto Elite Four were constantly fighting each other, no champion has emerged from the Kanto region since Blue and Red.

Now that Yulongdu has confirmed Li Xuan's strength and extended an invitation, he was rejected on the spot.

"Ugh."

Yu Longdu sighed deeply.

Why do talented trainers not want to become champions?
"Elite Four member, a man's ambition lies in distant places. You know, I still prefer opening gyms and instructing trainers. Sitting in an office handling League affairs is completely unsuitable for me, and I don't like to rot away in an office all day."

Li Xuan put his hands in his pockets and gazed into the distance: "In a while, a new prodigy might emerge. It won't be too late to invite him after he's developed."

"You mean, Crimson's younger brother?"

Through the live stream, Yulongdu learned that Li Xuan had given guidance to Chihong's younger brother, Xiaozhi.

Yulongdu quite liked this young man.

Having successively captured Charizard, Gengar, and Aerodactyl, he's definitely a true League Trainer!
"Yes."

Li Xuan nodded.

If the AI ​​can't agree, then it's none of its business.

He was just mentioning it casually.

"I understand. I'll find some time to get in touch with him later."

After saying that, Yu Longdu changed the subject: "Li Xuan, do you think this Quartz Conference will be successful?"

"Hmm... I'm optimistic, but I'm not so optimistic either."

Li Xuan gave a rather abstract answer.

I'm optimistic because there are champion-level trainers involved.

But I'm not optimistic.

This is because the champion-level trainers are not from the Kanto region, but from other areas.

Isn't this just plain fried fish?
Li Xuan was both amused and exasperated that a champion trainer would come here to fry fish.

"The Royal Masked Man, huh? He seems to come from a place without a league. It's said that Team Rocket is going to take action there, so they definitely need a battle to prove their strength."

Yu Longdu recalled the information provided by Li Xuan.

The Rockets had plans to take action against the Alora region.

This shows that Alola is also in imminent danger.

"Furthermore, that previous blue wormhole also seems to have originated from the Alola region."
