Chapter 711 Su Xu vs. Long Tianxing

On the plane from the Great Britain Alliance to the Divine Continent Alliance, Su Hao instructed Liao Xingchen beside him: "Regarding the matter of super evolution, you can contact my mother, Ms. Su Qing. She was the one who collected the data and papers."

Why did Su Hao initially present the person who discovered the super evolution as his own mother?

The reason is simple: she has a history of discovering several new evolutions of Pokémon, so it is obviously the most reasonable choice for her to "discover" Mega Evolution. The public will also automatically make it reasonable because of her status as a Pokémon professor.

Su Hao didn't care whether he had the title of "Father of Super Evolution." To him, such an empty title was meaningless, and he was too lazy to try to explain how he discovered super evolution.

He also helped the Shenzhou Alliance gain an absolute advantage in Mega Evolution. Presumably, the strength of Shenzhou Alliance trainers will experience explosive growth in the near future.

However, these are matters for the higher-ups. He doesn't need to say anything about fighting for specific benefits; his own parents will take the initiative to do so.

Liao Xingchen glanced at Su Hao with a complicated expression and said, "Then let the Alliance and Su Qingxue...Doctor handle the specifics. Are you sure you're okay staying in the Great Britain Alliance alone?"

Su Hao remained calm and nodded, saying, "Just like I said before, I still have trump cards, and I can also operate under a false identity, so there won't be any problems."

Seeing that Su Hao was determined to do so, Liao Xingchen rubbed his temples with a headache, already worrying about how to explain why Su Hao hadn't returned. He said helplessly, "You're already a trainer who can stand on your own, so I can't stop you. But you must be careful."

"Also, after winning the championship this time, the league will undoubtedly prepare a reward for you. Is there anything you would like?"

Su Hao became interested at the mention of this. After thinking for a moment, he realized that he could only get things from the Divine Continent Alliance, and said without hesitation, "I want to go and see the Northern Township Secret Realm!"

"The Northern Township Secret Realm?" Liao Xingchen's eyes widened, and he rubbed his forehead, saying, "That's a highly confidential secret realm that even I find extremely difficult to enter..."

That being said, Liao Xingchen thought about the championship Su Hao had won and his series of hidden contributions, and perhaps the league would really give Su Hao the green light.

Liao Xingchen suggested, "How about this, I'll report it for you. But whether it succeeds or not depends on the vote at the higher-ups. You know the Shenzhou Alliance isn't a one-man show; the collective opinion takes precedence."

"I see."

Su Hao nodded slightly. He had expected this, but once the Divine Continent Alliance gained a better understanding of Super Evolution and realized the value of this power, they would definitely be willing to open doors of convenience for him. Let's wait and see.

There might be an opportunity for the Motor Lizard to become stronger in the Northern Township Secret Realm, and Su Hao is also very concerned about the well mask he is wearing.

Could the Evil Spirit be hidden in the Northern Village Secret Realm...?

In any case, once Diancie is brought back, if she has already broken through to the Elite Four level, then I can prepare to go to the high seas to find Articuno.

I wonder how it is now, and what the situation is like in the secret realm of the high seas.

Furthermore, he had promised the Green Warrior Eagle to find Lugia, who had rescued him, so this matter could also be resolved at the same time.

The key to everything lies in that secret realm in the high seas.

After ending the conversation, seeing that the plane had been flying for some time and was about to leave the capital of the British Commonwealth, Su Hao decided to slip away to the restroom.

Before he got up to leave, Liao Xingchen suddenly asked, "My Charizard... does it also have the potential to go further like Lucario?"

Su Hao stopped and said vaguely, "The first case in the alliance should be coming soon."

Liao Xingchen was taken aback. Could it be...?

As Su Hao entered the airplane toilet, a barely perceptible spatial ripple spread out, and Liao Xingchen knew that Su Hao had already used Lucario's teleportation to get away from the plane.

Looking at the shadow beneath him, Liao Xingchen asked, "Marshall, what do you know about super evolution?"

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

Shenzhou Alliance, Yangcheng.

In the vast arena, a very coincidental thing happened.

The two trainers battling it out in today's ranking match have quite a history.

A few months ago, Elite-level trainer Su Xu faced off against Dragon Tianxing, a trainer from the Dragon Clan, here and lost the ranking match without sending out his ace, causing his ranking to drop.

After that, he participated in the ranking matches very few times, as if he had temporarily avoided the competition because he lost to the young man Long Tianxing.

Now, Su Xu "coincidentally" encounters Long Tianxing, who has already advanced to 27th place, in the ranked match again, while his current ranking has dropped to 63rd due to infrequent battles.

After the referee quickly read out the rules, it was time for the players to trash talk.

Feeling the long-awaited attention and fresh air, Su Xu said to Long Tianxing in front of him, "What a coincidence, we've met again. I heard you took special care of my son when you were in the Dragon Clan? Well, I should thank you for that."

Long Tianxing said with a forced smile, "No need to thank me, taking care of the younger generation is what I should do. However, Senior Su Xu, your son has recently made quite a stir outside. Isn't the young man a bit too impetuous? You should teach him a lesson so he doesn't go astray."

“As you know, he now has the combat power of a Heavenly King, so I might not always speak like that.” Su Xu spread his hands and squinted at Long Tianxing: “However, I won’t hold back today like I did last time because of the assessment.”

Full of confidence, Long Tianxing stopped pretending and raised his head, saying, "What a coincidence! I've made quite a bit of progress in my cultivation on the Road to Champions recently, and I'm planning to go all out. Senior, please don't lose to a junior like me, okay?"

"Hehe." Su Xu patted his pocket, unilaterally ending the conversation. Before leaving, he said in a voice that only Long Tianxing could hear clearly, "Before targeting my son, you should first consider whether you have the ability. He has already touched the edge of the Heavenly King level. You're probably more panicked than anyone else, aren't you?"

"After all, this proves that Bai Du's faction had good judgment in choosing to befriend him in advance."

"Today, I'm going to beat you until you cry your eyes out!"

------------

Chapter 712 The more you practice, the better!

"Charizard."

"Salamander".

The two men's voices, thick with tension, rang out. The next instant, two dragons flapped their wings and soared into the sky, their high-pitched roars echoing across the heavens.

On the left is a pseudo-legendary dragon-type creature with blood-red wings and a terrifying dragon aura emanating from its body—Salamander.

On the right is a sub-dragon with huge blue-green wings like a Western dragon, a more agile and slender body than a regular fire-breathing dragon, and a faint blue light flashing in its eyes—the fire-breathing dragon.

Judging from their aura, both Pokémon are at the mid-stage of the Elite Four level.

Su Xu was somewhat surprised. It seemed that Long Tianxing's Salamence had encountered some good fortune on the Champion Road, advancing from the early stage of the Elite Four level to a minor level in just a few months.

With such talent, when the current Four Heavenly Kings and champions step down and take over other positions, he might actually have a chance to compete for the throne of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Upon discovering that Su Xu's Charizard was still at the mid-Elite Four level, Long Tianxing's smile became even more unrestrained.

"This competition is an official, officially recognized tournament by the Shenzhou Alliance. If the winner's ranking is lower than the loser's, the ranking will be changed."

"Now, Su Xu, the 63rd ranked Master Ball Trainer, challenges Long Tianxing, the 27th ranked Master Ball Trainer. The battle begins!"

A sharp whistle rang through the sky, and the two gave the same command simultaneously: "Flame Throttle!"

Whether intentionally or not, Long Tianxing chose to use Flamethrower, a signature move of Fire-type Pokémon, right from the start, as if... provoking him.

Two fierce pillars of fire streaked across the sky, distorting the air in their path due to their intense heat, and bringing a touch of heat to the spectators in the arena during the cold winter.

The difference in firepower became apparent the moment the two pillars of fire made contact.

Su Xu's Charizard's fire pillar only held its own against Salamence's fire pillar for a moment before shattering it with overwhelming force and sweeping directly towards Salamence.

Seeing this, Long Tianxing chuckled lightly, unsurprised. It was just a small provocation. He never expected Salamence's Flamethrower to be able to contend with Charizard, which relied on this as its signature move. He quickly said, "Get out of the way."

Salamence flapped its crimson wings, instantly increasing its altitude and gracefully dodging the flamethrower. Then, it spread its crimson wings and approached Charizard at high speed like a whirlwind carrying the scent of blood, clearly intending to engage in close combat, a style it was more adept at.

Long Tianxing's voice rang out at the opportune moment: "Dragon Claw."

Salamence's forelimbs instantly gathered dense dragon-type energy, transforming into a pair of enormous dragon claws that slammed down on Charizard's head. The battle-hardened Charizard didn't need Su Xu's command; it also used its dragon claws to block Salamence's attack.

While it is better at using ranged moves for energy attacks, its melee ability is not so much inferior to Salamence's; it's just that... it doesn't use it often!

After a series of teeth-grinding scraping sounds, the two Pokémon engaged in several close-quarters battles in the air. Amidst the clanging of metal, each strike from both sides created shockwaves, which were blocked by the energy barrier set up in the arena.

Confining battles between Elite Four Pokémon to a space the size of a grain of sand compared to the vast open world puts a great test on the sturdiness of the equipment.

Salamence grew increasingly agitated as its own furious dragon claw attack was once again blocked by Charizard using a clever method.

Despite having an absolute advantage in strength, it could never defeat the experienced and cunning Charizard. Just realizing this was enough to enrage the young and powerful Salamence.

"Roar!!!"

The terrifying dragon aura that spread out made the audience's breathing quicken. Salamence was surrounded by a vast airflow, and a continuous stream of dragon-type energy transformed into illusory flames that enveloped it.

After a moment of pause, the giant dragon phantom, shrouded in flames and with blood-red eyes, roared wildly and charged toward the Charizard with unparalleled ferocity.

Long Tianxing agreed with Salamence's choice. Even without using "that thing," Salamence's Dragon Dive was now almost as powerful as the Dragon God Dive used to defeat Su Xu's Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile.

This is what they are doing.

The confidence gained from training on the path to becoming a champion is something Su Xu can never achieve.

Once he leverages his connection to the Dragon Clan to acquire the extraordinary power that kid displayed, the throne of the Heavenly King... will be within his grasp!

However, Su Xu's expression was not the shock or even more panicked state that Long Tianxing had imagined. Instead, he narrowed his eyes in disdain and shook his head, saying, "Now it seems just so-so, Charizard, Explosive Flame!"

At home, he, Charizard, and a bunch of other Pokémon are constantly being dragged into secret realms by those bored Articuno, to accept invitations to a series of legendary Pokémon battles.

In the battle against that group of Articuno, its Charizard almost learned Ice Beam, and Dragon Dive... but it doesn't seem as good as that Champion-level Articuno's Divine Bird Strike!

The Charizard, constantly being propelled into flight, had long since developed an extraordinary eye for targeting flying objects, coupled with its ever-increasing firepower after mastering the Azure Flame—

At the last second, Charizard dodged Salamence's first attack with a tricky angle. Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent turned around, wisps of flame spilled from its mouth and instantly transformed into a huge, scorching sun that almost distorted the surrounding space, locking onto Salamence and crashing down on its head!

This set of movements was as fluid as if it had been practiced a thousand times, and it was the crystallization of the blood and tears that Charizard had suffered when it was beaten by those ferocious Articuno with its type advantage.

The past "suffering" has now been transformed into strength. The blazing sun accurately struck the high-speed flying Salamence, and an endless sea of ​​fire spread out. In the high temperature, the Salamence's painful roar could be clearly heard!

Orange-red flames burned half the sky, and the Salamence writhed in agony in this fiery hell.

In the ensuing silence, Su Xu's calm voice rang out: "What's wrong? Aren't you going to unleash your trump card?"

"Just like before, use it now, because... if you don't use it, you're going to lose!"

Su Xu's voice was full of seductive charm. Long Tianxing, whose face was extremely ugly, still did not understand why the battle situation had changed so drastically in just a few breaths. He gritted his teeth and said with a gloomy face, "Then so be it. Flying Dragon, unleash the power that comes from the ancient times!"
