Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

Xia Jie finished speaking in one breath, then looked at Su Hao with expectant starry eyes, as if waiting for him to change his mind and become a trainer specializing in fire-type skills.

Faced with Xia Jie's expectant expression, Su Hao hesitated for a moment, then swallowed the words that might raise the blood pressure of an elderly person: "But it seems that the Pokémon in my team all have a clear path to follow."

Diancie has the power of the Radiant God to develop, Milotic has Latios to feed them and continue on the path to ultimate special attack, and Dragapult has many hidden...

The effects of concealment are promising.

The Azure Warrior Eagle can continuously comprehend the power contained within the Silver Feather, Lucario can cultivate the combination of Aura and Psychic Power, Yeev's path of swordsmanship has long been taking shape, and MetalGreymon's Destruction Gene is like a treasure waiting to be explored.

Even the Blazing Roaring Tiger, propelled by electric current, has pseudo-advanced to a magnetic field rotation. The only real hope is to find more wondrous lightning.

For example, the fragments of the lightning stone tablet obtained after completing the three major trials can be given to it for cultivation.

It's only a matter of time before he cultivates into a Magnetic Field Mad Tiger.

Looking at it this way, he realized that he had already met the conditions to become a superstar, and all he needed to do next was to grow step by step.

After a long silence, Su Hao could only feign an awkward yet polite smile to fool Xia Jie.

In a way, this technique is similar to enchanting in some games.

In other games, you enchant items with various effects; here, you add a certain property to fire.

I just don't know if there's an upper limit; if there isn't, it's just too overpowered.

If you add the fire traits of two legendary fire-type creatures like Moltres, Ho-Oh, and Reshiram to Incineroar's flames all at once, wouldn't it be amazing?

Su Hao voiced his doubts, only to receive Xia Jie's response that he was overthinking things.

"If that were possible, I, your grandfather, would have been recognized as the strongest person in the world."

"However, it is said that the fire attribute of Pokémon can indeed be added to the fire attribute of Pokémon, but unfortunately, such legends are very hard to find."

As if remembering something, Xia Jie shook his head and sighed for a while.

.............

As night deepened, after Su Hao and Xia Jie finished their dinner, the Blazing Roaring Tiger followed the Firestorm Beast back to the villa where Xia Jie lived.

The first day of learning about explosive flames has made progress, but it will take a few more days to fully master it.

Naturally, Su Hao decided to stay there.

In the evening, as Su Hao and Xia Jie sat in front of the television watching the local news, a news item that seemed very fitting for Yundu, a fighting capital, caught Su Hao's attention.

[The day has finally arrived! The grand event woven together by martial artists and Fighting-type Pokémon—the Fighting Capital Doubles Tournament!]

This year's prizes are equally generous, and we've also invited Chen Qing, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Divine Continent Alliance and a fighting king, as a special guest!

The tournament winner and his Pokémon will have the opportunity to participate in a doubles exhibition match alongside Chef Chen and his Pokémon!

[Registration details are below. Scan the QR code to follow our official WeChat account and fill in the required information.]

[Note: Only the Fighting-type Pokémon registered before the competition is allowed to be used throughout this tournament.]

Fire-breathing dragon, baby duck

Chapter 422 How can I, so weak, contend with that group of warriors?

"what?"

What did he see?

Humans and Pokémon team up for double battles? What's that all about?

Is the fighting capital really going this far?

"You've come at just the right time; the Fighting Capital Tag Team Tournament starts around this time every year."

"This is normal. The strongest martial artists nowadays can even physically fight against professional-level Pokémon."

Seeing Su Hao's surprise, Xia Jie, who was already used to it, thought Su Hao was making a fuss over nothing.

Among his old friends from his younger days were many strong individuals who could fight against superhuman strength.

Xia Jie couldn't help but feel a little curious about his grandson's health.

He casually remarked, "Don't you have a Lucario in your team? Why don't you give it a try?"

He knew a little about Su Hao being a special ability user, and all special abilities except for wave guidance were banned in this competition.

Even if Su Hao couldn't defeat the martial artist on the other side, he could still dodge while letting Lucario battle the opponent's Fighting-type Pokémon.

The more Xia Jie thought about it, the more he felt that Su Hao could try participating in the competition.

Moreover, the match might also involve encountering someone from that old guy's school.

Su Hao raised his voice slightly, shouting incredulously, "I'm participating!?"

Seemingly believing that Su Hao was afraid of hand-to-hand combat, Xia Jie explained:

"It doesn't matter whether you can beat those big guys or not, it can give Lucario some experience in battling Fighting-type Pokémon."

"Anyway, the strength of Pokémon in each major tournament is roughly the same as that of martial artists. After all, they are martial artists, not trainers, and their strength is probably around the elite level to the early stage of professional level."

Su Hao remained silent.

He realized that he and Grandpa Xia were not on the same wavelength at all.

What he was trying to say was, what if he accidentally hit someone with a wave missile and left them paralyzed from the waist down?

No... I seem to still have the power of the eternal flame and life energy as a foundation. As long as the treatment is quick, the other party won't become paralyzed.

Or perhaps it would be better to leave the opponent and their Pokémon to Lucario while you stay on the sidelines and don't participate in the battle?

Hmm... This might be promising?

Su Hao is very interested in having a doubles match against Chen Qing, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Fighting Series, in the exhibition match.

If he grits his teeth and works hard, maybe he'll complete his Four Heavenly Kings puzzle?

This competition might also be an opportunity for Lucario to break through to the professional level?

Double happiness! Yay!

Despite having already made up his mind, Su Hao still hesitated and asked, "Should I sign up and give it a try...?"

He simply wanted to know the reason why Xia Jie had been so earnestly guiding him to participate in the competition.

Xia Jie, like a fish that has taken the bait, lit up his eyes and said with a smile, "Give it a try. If you get a high ranking, maybe Grandpa will give you a reward."

"And... that guy's face will definitely look terrible, right?"

Xia Jie seemed to remember something, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. If he were a little younger, he would be a perfect crooked-mouthed dragon king.

Su Hao was surprised that he could get information out of Xia Jie so easily. It seemed that someone was going to participate in the Fighting Capital Tag Team Tournament, and Xia Jie was looking forward to defeating the other party.

However, it didn't matter, and Su Hao wisely refrained from exposing it.

Xia Jie treated him so well, was there anything wrong with making the old man happy?

no problem!

.........................

Yundu, Fighting Association.

Today is registration day, and the small fighting association building is packed with people inside and out.

The phrase "bustling and seemingly endless" perfectly describes the sheer number of people gathered here.

Su Hao was also squeezed into the crowd. There were people all around him, and from time to time there was the smell of sweat coming from somewhere, or the groping hands that would occasionally strike him because he was handsome.

It was simply... hell!

When he scanned the QR code last night to register for the Fighting City Tag Team Tournament, he discovered that he couldn't register afterward.

To participate directly in the tournament, one must also go to the so-called Fighting Association for a test to confirm eligibility.

In short, it's the initial screening.

When he actually arrived at the association's gate, he couldn't help but sigh that the fighting association's decision was correct.

The people who came to test were a mixed bag, including men, women, young and old. If a preliminary screening wasn't conducted, the competition might not have been finished for several days.

But... this queue will last forever!?

With a vacant look in his eyes, Su Hao sighed. Just as he was about to give in and continue queuing, a familiar yet unfamiliar waveguide nearby, which was much stronger than the others, caught his attention.

Su Hao turned his gaze over and saw a low-key black minivan. A man surrounded by many people quickly stepped out of the car.

The man's bulging muscles stretched his black vest tightly, and he wore a black baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask, as if he was afraid of being recognized.

A figure in a fighting association uniform was waiting in front of the man. Upon seeing the man, the figure's eyes lit up, and he greeted him with a broad smile.

For Su Hao, it had been more than half a year since he had encountered the waveguide inside the man who treated him like a big star.

Su Hao wasn't entirely sure if the other person was really him.

Although he was unsure, that didn't stop Su Hao from taking action.

Instead of wasting time queuing here, we should try to see if we can get in early.

If the other party is indeed the person Su Hao remembers, he is 100% confident.
