Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

... ...

This thing made Hao Yan exclaim in surprise, "Steel Z Pure Crystal!"

Steel Z-Crystal allows Pokémon to absorb its energy and transform it into a powerful Z-Move.

The Z-Move is incredibly powerful; it can damage the opponent even if they use a defensive move like Protect.

And there are no side effects after using it.

Take Lucario's Comet Punch as an example. With the enhancement of Steel Z Crystal, Comet Punch can be transformed into a Super Spiral Combo with a power of up to 175!

Its power has doubled!

Daigo just casually placed this thing on the table!

Daigo, who was standing to the side, carefully put away the Moon Stone of 'Peerless Beauty' and smiled at Haoyan, saying, "Gym Leader Haoyan, I heard that you have a Steel-type Lucario."

"If you're interested in this Z-crystal steel, why not give it to you as a thank-you gift?"

"Is this a gift to repay you?"

Hao Yan put down the Steel Z Crystal in his hand, looked at Daigo seriously, and said, "Mr. Daigo, this Steel Z Crystal is worth 100 million Alliance Coins on the market!"

"In that case, you can't joke around."

Haoyan had previously considered purchasing Z-Crystals to enhance his Pokémon's strength.

However, just as he said, the market price is not cheap at all!

Being short of money, I had to allocate my funds reasonably, which is why I didn't consider it.

Seeing Haoyan's serious expression, Daigo also became serious and said, "This piece of Z-grade steel crystal is nothing compared to my father's life."

"You solved the problems of tides and drops in the Water Fleet, and you also helped me solve my heartache."

"I found this piece of Z-grade steel when I was traveling in the Alola region."

"Moreover, this piece of Z-crystal steel is not very useful to me."

"Because I already have all the Pokémon."

"In other words, this is an extra piece."

"Please, you must accept this!"

After saying that, Daigo immediately picked up the piece of pure steel Z crystal and shoved it into Hirohiko's hand.

"…Oh well."

Since Daiwu had already put it that way, Haoyan had no choice but to reluctantly accept it.

... ...

Chapter 252 Mura: Go, go find Haoyan for special training.

Fukuen Town, inside the dojo.

"Fiery Steed, proceed with our previous tactics and attack the target!"

Aysa is giving her Pokémon special training.

"ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss"

The fiery horse stared intently at a board not far away.

This is a target that Asa specially ordered from Devon, made of refractory material.

Its four hooves kicked incessantly on the ground, and its entire body burst into flames.

With its head bowed, revealing the sharp horns on its head, it charged towards the target.

With a bang.

The fiery horse's horn pierced a hole in the target.

Then, as if it had a life of its own, the flames on its body transferred to the target and burned intensely.

The target, made of refractory material, was burned bright red.

After Rapidash's fire attack, the temperature inside the gym rose significantly.

"That's it, the combination of the Long Horn and the Flame Wheel!"

"This can deliver a fatal blow to the opponent!" Asha was satisfied with the Flaming Horse's attack.

"Alright, Rapidash, you can rest for a bit." Asha told Rapidash to return to its Poké Ball to rest.

Then he said to Mura beside him, "Grandpa, come on!"

Mura understood, walked into the battlefield, and released his fiery beast.

Asha, full of fighting spirit, released her fire-breathing camel to fight against Mura's fiery beast.

Mulla showed no mercy to his granddaughter.

The first move: "Blazingon, use Flamethrower!"

Aysa retorted without backing down: "Fire Camel, retaliate with flamethrower!"

Two Pokémon used the same move at the same time.

It's all about whose moves are more powerful!

The two flames met in mid-air, collided, and produced a huge explosion, raising a cloud of dust.

The dust and mist dissipated.

The two Pokémon stood in opposite corners, neither gaining the upper hand.

Mura's expression hardened; it was Asha's fire-breathing camel.

He was quite surprised that he could actually fight against his Typhlosion.

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

After her crushing defeat to Haoyan last time, Aysa has been training her Pokémon whenever she has a spare moment.

After half a year, the effects of the cultivation were quite obvious.

"Fire Beast, use Fire Breath!"

He showed such outstanding performance in front of his granddaughter.

Mura was also very happy, and he made his most proud Fire Beast unleash a super-powerful fire breath.

Aysa's gaze was equally solemn.

Her grandfather, Mura, was once a king.

While she may not be as tactically as him, she is equally formidable in terms of Pokémon skills and skill-based combat.

"Fire-breathing camel, retaliate with fire!"

The fire breath skill has an extremely high power of 150 points according to the League's assessment.

It can convert all energy into flames in an instant.

The enormous flames emitted by the two Pokémon intertwined and collided in the air.

It made a series of sounds in succession.

This directly led to the near-complete burning out of oxygen in the Furnace Dojo.

It was as stuffy and hot as a sauna.

Aysa and Mulla command their respective Pokémon in a battle against each other.

... ...

The staff members nearby moved outside the dojo because it was too hot inside.

"Master Asha is really working hard! She trains at this high intensity every day."

"Yes, Gym Leader Asa is training like crazy to get a good ranking in the Attribute Expert Tournament two months from now."

"I think this time, our Fuyan Dojo has a very good chance of becoming an A-rank dojo!"

Several staff members were talking in hushed tones.

Inside the pavilion, the two Pokémon were still locked in a battle.

But the elderly Mura was the first to give out.

It was so hot that I was already drenched in sweat.

In addition, the flames burned oxygen, causing him to have difficulty breathing.

"...Asha, wait a minute!"

Mura paused the match.

Asha was in pretty good shape, but she was already drenched in sweat.

Upon hearing Mura speak, Asha sighed.

He put away the fire-breathing camel, walked over to Mura, and helped him outside the gym to get some fresh air.

"Let's take a break. I need to go outside for some fresh air. It's just too hot here."

"It's even more stuffy than a sauna!" Mura said as she walked out of the dojo, supported by Aysa.

As soon as I stepped out of the dojo, I immediately felt a cool breeze and couldn't resist taking off my jacket to get some fresh air.

Aysa, who was just about to unleash her full potential, was somewhat annoyed by being stopped midway.

This feeling is like being in the toilet and suddenly being told to stop halfway through.

But we also know that Mura's body simply can't take it anymore.

After confirming that Mura was alright, he complained, "What a weak grandpa you are!"

"You can't even handle this level of intensity?"

"You should be like me and go for a run in the morning to train your body, but you just won't listen."

"Haoyan is so young, yet he insists on exercising every day."
