The intense heat and thick smoke billowed out, immediately obscuring Steelix's vision.

"Steelback, fly up!" Grandpa Luo directly asked Steelback to give up [Brave Bird Attack] and fly up directly to avoid the thick smoke produced by [Smoke Jet].

However, Xingcai took advantage of this moment to shout, "Tanbao, [Wide Area Combat Power]!"

"what!"

Under Grandpa Luo's surprised gaze, Tanbao in the thick smoke used [Wide Area Combat Power] and directly hit Steelix.

Although, because the power of [Wide-Area Combat Power] was not very high, this attack only hurt Steelix.

At this moment, Xingcai has already gained the upper hand on the scene.

But Xingcai knew very well that this advantage was not enough to offset the disadvantages in terms of level.

"Not bad, not bad. Xingcai, your moves are really brilliant." Mr. Luo gave Xingcai ample room to perform. "Now it's my turn!"

Mr. Luo waved his hand, and Steel Armor Crow immediately understood what he meant.

Then, Steelix flew high into the sky and used [Light Wall].

Seeing this, Xingcai immediately used the Poké Ball to take Tanbao back, then gently patted Xiaozi and let Xiaozi stand in the battle area.

"You actually chose to change your pet?" Old Master Luo smiled slightly. He didn't expect Xingcai to do this.

"Xiao Zi, [Splitting Tiles]!" Xingcai was very calm. The effect of [Splitting Tiles] was able to easily destroy any wall.

Moreover, Xiao Zi's movements were very quick. Before Steelix could react, Xiao Zi had already hit its head.

This attack not only hit Steelix, but also directly destroyed the [Light Wall] that Steelix had just built.

"Xiao Zi, use [Thunder Fist] to chase!" Xingcai had no intention of giving Steel Crow any chance. She immediately asked Xiao Zi to fight with Steel Crow.

However, Xiao Zi felt that although this way of fighting was correct, it itself felt seriously powerless.

The gap in levels is still a bit too big.

Grandpa Luo also immediately understood the role of Xiao Zi's appearance. It can clear the [Wall of Light], thereby giving the Red Lotus Armored Cavalry more attack opportunities.

But your Tiremeow Xiaozi is very fragile!

"Steel Crow, [High-Speed ​​Movement]." Grandpa Luo could see that even if Xiao Zi possessed [Thunder Fist], it would not be able to truly interfere with the strengthening of Steel Crow.

But Xingcai smiled and said, "Xiao Zi, use [Phosphorus]."

The next moment, Xiao Zi, who was already very close to Steelix, suddenly spit out a stream of fire towards Steelix.

The flame was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and it fell on Steel Crow in an instant.

Steel Crow, burned.

Chapter 55: The Yangtze River's Back Waves Push Forward

Burns, this abnormal state is not a big deal, but for a Pokémon whose main means of output is physical attack, it is actually a disaster.

Xingcai's [Phosphorescent Fire] made Steel Crow very embarrassed. In this abnormal state, even if Steel Crow strengthened its speed to the maximum, it had no way to defeat Crimson Knight.

"Xiao Zi actually knows [Phosphorus]?"

"Well, Xiao Zi is quite special. At present, it still doesn't know many skills."

Xingcai smiled slightly. She didn't think her action was outrageous.

After all, Xiao Zi still doesn't have many skills, so she won't open the champagne at this time.

Compared to Xingcai's calmness, Mr. Luo was not calm.

What does it mean that Tiremeow can use fire skills?

Once this Tiremew is able to evolve into Magical Masked Meow, it will become the nightmare of any trainer.

Because you have no way to use attribute restraint to defeat it, and you want to defeat a shortstop head-on?

The other party might use [Quick Return] and you will just waste your skills on the meat shield.

Such a magical masked cat is quite outrageous. It not only has the ability of an engineer, but also its attack ability should not be underestimated. In this case, it also has a certain ability to stand in the field.

It’s so comprehensive. Mr. Luo has already judged the future of this Tilei cat.

In the future, Magical Masked Cat will become the most versatile Pokémon.

"It's true that the new generation pushes the old generation forward." Old Master Luo couldn't help but sigh. He thought he was very imaginative about the possibilities of Pokémon, but he didn't expect that Xingcai was more imaginative than him.

Moreover, Xingcai is almost achieving her goal.

When Xiao Zi grows into the Magic Masked Cat, even if he is only at the gym leader level, he will be able to make Xingcai's journey to the championship go smoothly.

"Speaking of which, your senior Zhai Mengwei has also completed the road to becoming a champion. In the future, she should be able to participate in the Gym Master Tournament. She should be able to become a Gym Master after graduating from high school."

Xingcai's eyes sparkled, "For the gym leader tournament, is Mengwei-senpai's Pokémon level high enough?"

"Haha, don't worry about that." Grandpa Luo said calmly, "The Gym Master Tournament is a points competition and it will take a whole year."

"So, basically only young people who want to fight for the opportunity to become a gym leader and those who are preparing to participate in the Future Four Heavenly Kings Tournament will play in this league."

"Besides, the Champion's Path only gives you the qualification to enter the tournament. However, participating in this Gym Leader Tournament will give you the opportunity to become a gym leader."

"After this, you only need to go to a certain city and directly challenge the gym leader of that gym. As long as you can win, you can take his place."

"Of course, more people will choose to be deputy gym leaders first, and then challenge the gym leader when they become strong enough, so as to eventually grow up."

Luo Houhua patiently explained this set of stable promotion rules to Xingcai, but in Xingcai's opinion, this was actually not a good thing.

In this case, the power of a few main gyms is too great.

Moreover, there are many areas that don’t even have gyms.

The development of Pokémon in those areas is bound to be hindered.

The discussion between Xingcai and Luo Houhua ended quietly, and Xingcai also told her father her thoughts.

The old man also sighed, "We know this. But, there are some things we really can't do."

Luo Houhua continued to explain: "Because the construction of a gym itself is very expensive. We have also thought about establishing a personal gym before, but in that case, what about the current systematic road to championship?"

There is no doubt that reform is always the most difficult thing.

It is even more difficult to satisfy everyone.

Xingcai currently had no good ideas about this, and in the end she could only sigh along with Grandpa Luo.

Before returning to her room, Xingcai finally said, "Actually, I think it's okay to put these troubles aside for a while."

"Grandpa, you also said that the Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves ahead. Therefore, people in the future will definitely have more ways to do things. There is really no need for us to worry about these things."

Xingcai's words left Luo Houhua speechless for a long time. He knew that Xingcai was just trying to comfort him.

However, with Xingcai's words, Luo Houhua felt a lot more at ease for some reason.

Maybe, children and grandchildren have their own blessings?

Luo Houhua doesn't want to think about those messy things anymore.

He just wanted to take his granddaughter for a good walk around the Bamin area. After all, in the future, Xingcai might never come back to the Bamin area again.

Xingcai is so talented that her future is bound to go beyond the Fujian region, to the whole country, and even to the whole world.

From now on, I can probably only see her on TV, right?

Therefore, Luo Houhua cherishes the present time even more.

"Steel Crow, what do you think I can leave for my good granddaughter?"

In response to Luo Houhua's question, Steel Crow just made a puzzled cry.

Luo Houhua chuckled, the wrinkles on his face were twisted together, but he seemed very happy.

“The Yangtze River’s waves behind push the waves ahead, but as the wave ahead, I have to do something.”

"Champion-level Gardevoir, the magical secret cutter, and the resurrection technology of that fossil Pokémon." Luo Houhua looked complicated, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Suddenly, Luo Houhua's cell phone rang.

"Hey?"

"Lao Luo, we can confirm that this matter has nothing to do with King Zhen."

"I told you before, Miss Zhen is much more reliable than others."

"But she actually has something else going on."

"It's related to the Shi family, right?"

In response to Luo Houhua's question, the person on the other end of the line remained silent.

Luo Houhua sighed leisurely, "They have gone crazy. Yu's incident was indeed too much of a blow to them."

"Lao Luo, you should also understand that it is normal for that kind of behavior to backfire."

"But we are also at fault for these things, aren't we?" Luo Houhua said in a sonorous voice, "I don't want the future of China to become a mess because of these things!"

“Tell the brothers in the forest ranger team to take good care of themselves and their families recently. We may have to take action in the future.”

Luo Houhua arranged a lot of things through the communication, and he finally said: "I will participate in this year's gym owner tournament. If I lose, then it's time for you to take action."

Mr. Luo's voice was sonorous, and it was obvious that he had made a decision.

Chapter 56: Pokémon Industry

The next day, the old man brought Xingcai to Quanzhou City.

"How do you think Quanzhou compares to Xiamen?" the old man asked casually.

Walking on the road in Quanzhou, Xingcai looked around.

She shook her head. "I don't know how to put it. It feels like there's no difference."

The old man didn’t say much, but Quanzhou still has some special meaning to him.

However, there is no point in telling those things to the younger generation.

"Quanzhou's Pokémon industry is very developed. Compared to Xiamen, there are no overly dangerous secret areas around Quanzhou."

"So, most of the Pokémon transportation will use this place as a port."

"Do we have Pokémon from other regions here?" Xingcai asked curiously.

The old man immediately became interested, and he said cheerfully: "Those Pokémon are usually verified in Quanzhou, and then sent to various areas suitable for the growth of these Pokémon."

"However, this kind of training has basically produced no results." Grandpa Luo also felt a little regretful that there have not yet been any successful cases of introducing other Pokémon in the Chinese region.

Xingcai frowned. She actually didn’t quite understand why this situation happened.

Logically speaking, these Pokémon shouldn't suffer from such severe acclimatization problems.

Mr. Luo continued to explain: "The main reason is that Pokémon from overseas are basically snatched up, so they are basically picked up by trainers."

Xingcai understood a little bit at this time. After all, overseas Pokémon must be rare in China, so it is normal to like them.

And Mr. Luo continued with a smile: "Do you want me to take you to have a look?"

Faced with the old man's temptation, Xingcai couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Then, Mr. Luo took Xingcai to the Pokémon training base in Quanzhou City.

As soon as she entered here, Xingcai saw many Poké Balls and Pokémon.

None of these Pokémon are in the Fujian region’s Pokémon Encyclopedia.

Xingcai saw an Ice Vulpix. It seems that Jiang Ya got her Nine-Tailed Fox from here?

"Look, look, England's little Pony." Grandpa Luo said with a smile, "Oh, by the way, England's starter Pokémon are actually the same as those in Central and Northern China, namely, Knocking Monkey, Fiend Rabbit, and Teary-eyed Lizard."

"But, there are also many completely different regional species. For example, Meow Meow, the cats in England are there."

Grandpa Luo pointed in a direction, and Xingcai looked over and saw a gray Pokémon that looked rather ferocious.

That is Meow Meow’s English alien.

According to Xingcai's own knowledge, she actually didn't recognize many Pokémon.

However, these Pokémon seemed quite friendly after seeing her.

Sure enough, just like the wild Pokémon, these Pokémon also like her very much.

Xingcai was very happy. She enjoyed being liked by Pokémon very much.
