Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

The appearance of the Charizard immediately sparked discussion among the audience.

"Charizard may have 'dragon' in its name, but it's not a Dragon-type Pokémon!"

"He's a fire and a flying type!"

"That's right, Gyarados, Ampharos, Aerodactyl, Kangaskhan, Satyroma, Drapion, Excadrill, and Hulkoo are not Dragon-type Pokémon; they just have 'dragon' in their names!"

"Excuse me, but the Ethereal Dragon is considered half a dragon."

"...Transform...transform into a dragon...hmm...you make a bit of a point, I'll rule that out."

"But that's not the point! The point is that Charizard isn't a Dragon-type Pokémon!"

... ...

Besides the audience discussing it, the delegations from various regions were also completely bewildered.

The referee addressed Haoyan, saying, "Gym Leader Haoyan, according to the rules, you need to use a Dragon-type Pokémon to challenge a Dragon-type Pokémon."

"Did you put the wrong Pokémon in...?"

Haoyan is the curator; he couldn't possibly be unaware of the rules.

The only reasonable explanation is that he put the wrong Pokémon in, since he was just distracted.

The museum directors from the Hoenn region delegation all remained calm.

Even the three sisters, led by Asha, wore mocking and amused expressions.

Yes, the regular Charizard does not have the Dragon type.

But if Charizard evolves into its X form, wouldn't it then have the Dragon type?

“Little Dragon, evolve into X form.” Hao Yan said casually.

"Roar! Roar!"

The Charizard immediately let out a wild roar.

The color of Charizard's body began to change, and even the flames on its tail turned blue due to the high temperature!

When Charizard completed its Mega Evolution, the temperature in the entire battle arena noticeably increased by 10 degrees Celsius.

... ...

Xiaochun felt a sense of horror as she experienced the Mega Evolution of Charizard.

"What terrifying pressure!"

"That Charizard is no match for my Kingdra!"

"The aura emanating from the Mega Charizard is almost on par with Lance's Dragonite!"

"Is that Haoyan really just a dojo master?!"

Haoyan didn't try to guess Xiaochun's thoughts, but looked at the head referee and said calmly, "Now, it should be okay, right?"

"...Okay...okay!" The referee was truly surprised that Hao Yan would pull this stunt.

If you want to super evolve, then super evolve.

It's like playing a game!

The referee waved his flag symbolically and said, "The match begins."

Just as Haoyan was about to unleash Charizard's attack, a strange tremor suddenly stirred within him.

A look of surprise appeared on his face.

Thump~thump~thump~thump~

"It beats 29 times per minute!"

Haoyan touched the egg in his arms, constantly counting the number of times it bounced.

When he was studying at the Pokémon Center in Canalich, Nurse Joy told him about the pattern of how Eggs hatch.

If the heartbeat of the Egg reaches 30 beats per minute, it means that the Pokémon inside the Egg is about to be born!

Just as Haoyan was silently counting, a jet of water shot towards the fire-breathing dragon in the air.

Haoyan quickly regained his senses and issued the command: "Xiaolong, get out of the way."

Fortunately, Charizard wasn't distracted like Haoyan and quickly flapped its wings to dodge the attack.

If you get hit, it can cause considerable damage to Charizard.

Xiao Chun looked at Hao Yan, who had just come to his senses, and felt a surge of anger.

"So what if you've super evolved? Does that mean you're invincible?!"

"How could you be distracted at such a crucial moment!"

"Am I really that weak?!"

Just as they were about to unleash another attack from the Thorn Dragon King, Hao Yan spoke up in time, "Excuse me, please wait a moment!"

He also immediately signaled Charizard to return to his side.

Xiao Chun stopped giving instructions and looked at Hao Yan with a hint of anger in her eyes.

The referee, looking puzzled, waved his flag and paused the game.

"Director Haoyan, what's wrong?"

Why was the game paused at such a crucial moment?

"Referee, could you please pause the game? I suddenly have something urgent to attend to," Hao Yan said urgently.

Is there an urgent matter requiring a pause in the game?

This is an attribute expert competition!

What could be more important than the current attribute expert competition!

The referee pressed further, "What happened?"

"I'm sorry, it's a personal matter that I need to deal with immediately," Haoyan said earnestly.

The referee shook his head and said, "Director Haoyan, the battle has already begun and cannot be stopped now."

"If you really have something urgent to deal with, according to the rules of the conference, you can only be judged as the loser and will have one point deducted."

Rules are rules, and that cannot be broken.

Although everyone may have special circumstances, it is ultimately a private matter. With so many people watching the attribute expert competition live, there is no way to show favoritism.

Hao Yan was somewhat helpless. After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about this?"

"I'll leave Charizard behind and let it fight on its own while I go take care of personal matters."

"If Charizard loses, then my challenge will be considered a failure. Is that acceptable?"

Hao Yan's words immediately caused a huge uproar among everyone present.

Let Pokémon fight on their own?

... ...

Chapter 305 Anxious Waiting for the Baby's Birth

Let Pokémon fight on their own?

It's important to understand that trainers and Pokémon are essentially one.

The Pokémon is responsible for making the moves, while the trainer is responsible for observing the surrounding situation and the opponent's changes, so that the Pokémon can make the right choices.

In battle, the difference in combat strength between having a trainer in command and not having one can be described as drastic.

"This isn't exactly a violation, but are you sure you want to do it this way?" The referee seemed unsure.

There is no strict requirement for trainers to be present to direct battles.

However, this is the first time such a situation has occurred.

"Director Kotsubaki, can you accept these conditions?" the referee asked Kotsubaki.

Xiao Chun, who was always proud, looked extremely unpleasant at this moment.

It's one thing to get distracted during battle, but now he's completely washing his hands of the battle, leaving a Pokémon to fight him!

"What is this? Is this an insult to me?!" Xiaochun was very dissatisfied.

Xiao Chun took a deep breath and said coldly, "Since Master Haoyan has made this decision, I respect his choice!"

When Xiaochun said those words, anyone could sense the anger she was implying.

"I'm sorry, Director Tsubaki, I..."

Seeing Xiaochun's expression and hearing her tone, Haoyan knew without a doubt how she was feeling. He stopped halfway through his sentence and decided to keep quiet.

I'll apologize to her when I have the chance.

"Xiaolong, I'll leave it to you then."

Haoyan patted the Charizard, and the Charizard roared twice in response.

This indicates that the matter at hand is just a minor issue and nothing serious.

"Alright, I'll be going now!" Hao Yan said, and then quickly walked out of the venue.

"What kind of situation is this?!"

The referee silently shook his head. Having officiated at many important events, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

He returned to the referee's area and waved his flag.

"The game continues!"

... ...

This isn't the first time Haoyan has let Pokémon do whatever they want.

Training involves improving a Pokémon's physical attributes, attack efficiency, and skill combos.

Another important point is training combat awareness.
