Pokémon travel photography: Starting with riding the wave of popularity.

So I can't have alloys anymore?

Then, the two equally greedy men exchanged a glance and decided to abandon their previous plan to pull the tooth.

"Full power Rock Smash!"

"Clang!"

With a loud shout, the skilled blacksmith flipped over and sat on the iron ant's back.

boom!

The small fist, enveloped in Fighting-type energy, slammed mercilessly into Iron Ant's forehead, causing Iron Ant, who had just caught his breath, to shudder again.

However, unlike before when it was just a momentary daze, this time, under the full force of the master blacksmith, the iron ant's head was directly punched into the ground.

Then came the blacksmith's even more brutal and continuous attacks.

Duang!

Duang!

As expected of an officially recognized Gym Leader, Yati is incredibly strong; even his second-team Iron Ants are remarkably resilient.

Even the skilled blacksmith, who possessed immense strength, had to unleash a series of powerful punches to knock the opponent unconscious.

As the iron ant finally lost its ability to fight, the skilled blacksmith also stood up from the small pit that resembled a depression under his feet.

"Clang clang!"

Wiping away imaginary sweat from his forehead, the skilled blacksmith smiled at the purple flute playing not far away.

Did I do a great job?

'Well done!'

Zi Yu really wanted to praise the skilled blacksmith, but faced with the resentful gaze from Ya Di not far away, Zi Yu couldn't bring herself to say those words.

Even at this moment, Zi Yu did not dare to raise her head.

I just wanted Xia Mu and the skilled blacksmith to act like human beings, not for them to treat the iron ants as enemies and attack them...

Zi Yu couldn't help but complain in her heart.

However, Zi Yu could actually understand.

After all, before she spoke, the skilled blacksmith was still treating the iron ants like toys, but after she spoke, the skilled blacksmith seemed to have gone berserk. His aura even reminded Zi Yu of the scene when Xia Mu left and her father was hitting a punching bag in the gym.

Incidentally, there was also a photo of Xia Mu on that sandbag, which my dad had somehow found.

Honestly, this makes it sound like I'm the one ordering Natsuki to use his full strength...

At this moment, Zi Yu wanted to kneel on the ground and shout "Please Heaven, distinguish between the loyal and the treacherous!" just like Xia Mu had done in the past.

However, Yati didn't actually take the matter too seriously.

Although he had lost badly in this round, he actually admired the blacksmith's ferocious momentum.

Especially after the skilled blacksmith's imposing manner inspired his latest painting.

"Wow! Inspiration is flowing!"

As someone who also works as a Pokémon observer while seeking inspiration, he laughed twice and immediately started sketching in his sketchbook.

A moment later, Yati, having finished recording, immediately looked at Xia Mu with burning eyes.

"My muse, let's continue!!"

"hiss--"

Xia Mu couldn't help but take a step back.

Chrysanthemums, in danger!

Damn it, I knew this day would come with my charm, but I never expected a male curator like you to...

I should have known that artists are all fancy!

At this very moment, just like at that very moment, if it weren't for the fact that humans are incapable of learning skills, Xia Mu would also want to burrow into the ground like an iron ant, seeking a sense of security in the thick walls.

Unable to dig a hole himself, Xia Mu could only move the Claydol's Poké Ball behind him.

"I entrust my future to you, Clay Golem! By the way, the people of Flying Cloud City are all so twisted!"

Chapter 221 The Master Blacksmith: I'll Retire Once I Earn 300 Million

Officer Jenny is a sadist, and Ady is a pervert.

Thinking about his experience in Feiyun City, Xia Mu inexplicably began to feel fear towards Feiyun City.

This city is so chaotic that everyone has gone crazy!

For his own safety, Xia Mu recalled the determination he had made the night before.

Get the badge and leave Feiyun!

So, Xia Mu stepped forward, full of fighting spirit.

"Master blacksmith, show us your skills!!"

"Clang!"

The skilled blacksmith picked up the large hammer in the arena and roared a battle cry at the nearby Yadi.

You're the one who scared my trainer, aren't you!

I'm going to beat you to death!

For the Pokémon that has a deep bond with Natsuki and regards Natsuki as the most important person in its life (Karma), the Blacksmith is like a certain Duke Anle in history.

I'm so happy here, I don't even want to go to the countryside!

He was waited on hand and foot, enjoying not only the delicacies meticulously prepared by the Green Vine Snake, but also countless alloys that could contribute to his hammer art.

The skilled blacksmith made up his mind the moment he first tasted the delicious green vine snake.

This human is under my protection!

Therefore, the skilled blacksmith's long-dormant fighting spirit was rekindled at this moment.

Since evolving, she has always been engrossed in forging, but at this moment, she once again possessed the same fierce fighting spirit she had in the past when she was perfecting her hammer to beat up Pokémon.

And the results were quite obvious.

Even when facing the eager Blacksmith, Yati sent out the mainstay of his second team, the Bug-type and Rock-type Crabtree, this Rock-type Pokémon with a large number of Ground-type moves that are super effective against Steel-type Pokémon did not cause Blacksmith any trouble.

While Ground-type moves are super effective against Steel-type moves, Steel-type moves are also super effective against Rock-type moves.

With the elemental advantage and skill counters, and the similar levels, this should have been an evenly matched battle. However, under the skillful blacksmith's powerful strength, the Rock Palace Crab became yet another victim of the blacksmith's hammer in just a few moments.

Use the beam cannon at long range and the metal claw at close range.

Unable to burrow into the ground or directly confront the Blacksmith's attack, the Rock-House Crab could only passively take the hits, completely failing to unleash the full power of Team Two's Pokémon.

After losing to two Pokémon in a row, Yati also realized one thing.

“Your skill level far surpasses that of the average trainer. If we continue to use the second team's Pokémon, it would be somewhat disrespectful to you, so…”

"So many balls, so many bags!"

Xia Mu immediately reached out to stop Yati from continuing.

"I'm still just a newbie trainer!!"

Xia Mu shook his head repeatedly, having discerned the hidden meaning in Yati's words.

This bastard is so enraged by his loss that he wants to use a whole team of Pokémon to attack me!

Most gym leaders have a team of Pokémon between levels 60 and 70, while their partner Pokémon are likely to be stronger.

However, regardless of whether Yati sends out its partner Pokémon.

Based on the blacksmith's energy level of 47 during the previous physical examination, Xia Mu already had a huge disadvantage.

Although level isn't everything, with the Blacksmith's immense strength, even if Artisan sends out his partner Pokémon, he can still put up a fight.

but……

I'm not a Souls-like player, and I don't have a masochistic fetish!

Instead of choosing the easy difficulty, they insisted on choosing the hell difficulty.

Therefore, Xia Mu immediately persuaded Ya Di to give up this idea.

"Calm down. If your main Pokémon were to have a big battle with my Trickster, not to mention what would happen to this simple battlefield, wouldn't you be sad if all this artistic garden around us got destroyed?"

Xia Mu tried to stop Yati from beating her up like a baby.

But Adi remained unmoved.

"It's ok!"

Snapped!

After Yati snapped his fingers, the referee next to him immediately took out a remote control and pressed it out of thin air. Suddenly, two familiar instruments appeared in the greenhouse-like sky.

"I have protective measures here to fully protect the surrounding environment! Not only will these garden plants not be harmed, they won't even get dusty from the battle!"

"Th-that..."

Xia Mu continued to struggle.

But Yati spoke up again.

"Regardless of the outcome of this battle, I will give you the Beetle Badge! Furthermore, I will draw the inspiration I gained from this battle and then give you that drawing!"

"What am I supposed to draw...?"

Xia Mu suddenly paused, then looked at the beautiful and wealthy Zi Yu not far away.

[What was the price you mentioned for this guy's painting?]

Zi Yu understood the meaning in Xia Mu's eyes, so she slowly extended one finger.

One million?

Zi Yu: "..."

"It's ten million! It sold for ten million at a recent auction!"
