Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

But the frog succeeded, and with ease, it seemed to have plenty of energy left.

Additionally, while using the Secret Technique: Iai Slash, Nanfeng could clearly see that the frog's movement speed increased. In game terms, this means the skill's "priority" increased.

Although it doesn't have the same obvious speed boost as a skill with a priority of 1 like "Lightning Flash".

However, the "Secret Technique: Iaijutsu" with such power and effect can be described as a divine skill.

Nanfeng's satisfaction with the Secret Technique: Iai Slash also made him look forward to the other seven Secret Techniques.

I already have Flash, which could become a secret skill, but I need to defeat the Fighting Dojo first.

After lunch, Nanfeng said goodbye to Li Xiaoyu and the others, and returned to the hotel to continue leveling up Ralts.

To challenge the Fighting-type Gym, the Psychic-type Ralts is key.

Overnight, Nanfeng raised Ralts to level 20, and finally, it evolved into Kirlia.

Kirlia (Psychic, Fairy) (Shiny)

【Level: 20】

[Ability: Synchronize (When another Pokémon inflicts burn, poison, toxicity, or paralysis on the user, the user inflicts the same status condition on that Pokémon.)]

Individual Values: HP (31), Attack (31), Special Attack (31), Defense (31), Special Defense (31), Speed ​​(31)

[Skills: Enchanting Voice, Shout, Shadow Clone, Telekinesis, Absorbing Kiss, Teleportation, Illusion Ray]

[Items to carry: none]

Kirlia is no longer the shy little girl Ralts. She is dressed in a white ballet costume, with her toes slightly raised and her hands placed on her waist, just like a ballet dancer, elegant and beautiful. What is most striking is her bright black hair.

“Liru~ (???)” Kirullian blushed and bowed.

"Okay, your shy personality hasn't changed at all," Nanfeng affectionately rubbed its head.

In this way, everyone reaches level 20.

This achieved the "preliminary goal" for Nanfeng to challenge the Martial Arts Dojo again.

After putting down his handheld game console, Nanfeng slept soundly through the night. The next morning, he enjoyed a delicious breakfast and then decisively headed towards the martial arts dojo!

However, as soon as Nanfeng entered the dojo, he discovered something rather peculiar.

Despite having already defeated the martial arts dojo students once during the last challenge, Nanfeng has launched another challenge against him.

The south wind, of course, welcomes all.

The weak among them could only become Nanfeng's experience and money.

But this strange situation made Nanfeng think of some things... Can all defeated NPCs be fought again, or is it only gym NPCs, or gym NPCs whose leaders have not been defeated, that can be defeated repeatedly?

We can't get the answer here yet, so we'll have to wait until we finish our fights at the martial arts dojo before we can find out.

After charging into the Fighting Gym Leader, Tengshu, once again, Nanfeng ran back to the Pokémon Center to heal himself before returning to equip all the necessary Pokémon items.

Unlike challenging the Rustboro Gym, bringing a Sakura Berry to remove paralysis is no longer useful.

Nanfeng gave the strong chicken a "black belt" from the powerhouse under the flashing screen.

Frog and Kirlia are equipped with Mystic Drop and First Claw respectively.

Choosing to challenge the vine tree, Nanfeng's view immediately changed.

The luxurious hotel suite was instantly transformed into a clean and bright training ground, with two rows of disciples dressed in white training uniforms sitting cross-legged on either side, each with their eyes closed in meditation. It was so quiet that the birdsong outside the window could be heard.

The disciples were serious and focused, while the master of the martial arts dojo, Fujiki, was dressed in blue shorts and a black bodysuit, with sunglasses on, looking like a handsome beach-style sporty boy.

I guess he just came back from surfing at the beach on Wudou Island.

"Trainer, welcome to your second challenge!"

"I can see the fighting spirit that only grows stronger with each setback in your eyes, but are you ready to face this insurmountable wave?!"

The vine tree stood proudly and boldly in front of Nanfeng, hands on its hips, exuding an aura of power.

Just as Fujiki said, Nanfeng has challenged him for the second time.

I'm not afraid of losing.

Losing to you won't cost me any money, so what's there to be afraid of? Let's go for it!

South Wind had already picked up the Poké Ball.

The referee began announcing the rules of the fight.

"Trainer Nanfeng will now challenge Martial Arts Gym Leader Tengshu. Both trainers will have three Pokémon available, with no opportunity to switch Pokémon. The battle ends when one trainer runs out of Pokémon available."

"The Gym Leader should send out their Pokémon first."

The vine took a Poké Ball from its waist and threw it into the sky.

The Poké Ball opened at its highest point, and a Marshall immediately landed on the gym.

Masana LV24.

and many more!

Nanfeng's gaze sharpened. He clearly remembered that when they fought last time, Masana was level 23! How come she's level 24 now!

Does this mean that a Gym Leader's Pokémon also level up over time?

It will still level up as well as my Pokémon.

Nanfeng thought back carefully and realized that not only the Vine Tree, but also the Pokémon of the students from the Martial Arts Gym who had just fought seemed to have improved to varying degrees.

It was clear that there was no way to get an answer right away, so Nanfeng turned his attention back to the duel in front of him.

After a moment's thought, Nanfeng threw out his first Poké Ball.

"Riruru!" Kirlian enters the scene, full of fighting spirit.

Today's goal is to sweep the martial arts dojo!

28. The Incredible Queen's Show

"Kirlia?" Upon seeing that his opponent was Kirlia, Fujiki immediately frowned.

As a Fighting-type gym, all its Pokémon are Fighting-type. Fighting-type Pokémon are weak to three types: Flying, Psychic, and Fairy.

Kirlia is a fairy with psychic powers.

A perfect counter to Kirlia, Fighting-type moves only deal a quarter of the damage.

In nature, this is considered a natural enemy of Fighting-type Pokémon.

However, the opponent is Masana, so the situation is slightly better for Fujiki, and he won't be so badly suppressed.

Moreover, this battle might evolve into a superpower-based showdown.

"Are you scared?" Nanfeng provoked.

"Scared?" Fujiki grinned as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. "Every challenger knows that I am the Gym Leader of the Fighting-type Pokémon, and there are many trainers like you who use Pokémon that are super effective against Fighting-type Pokémon. But how many of them can actually take the Fighting Badge from me?"

"On the contrary, it was you who specially trained a Kirlia after I defeated you last time. So, you're scared?"

Before the battle even began, the two trainers started their verbal sparring, using their words to mentally attack their opponent. As for how effective that would be, that would depend on their actual fighting strength!

Marshana and Kirlia also stared intently at their opponents, the tension inherited from their masters spreading between the two elves.

The referee, after confirming both sides were in position, didn't give them much time for verbal sparring and immediately announced, "The battle begins!"

"Masana, telekinesis!"

"Kirlia, Psychic!" Southwind and Vine gave their Pokémon almost the same command.

Both spirits simultaneously unleashed their psychic power in their own ways.

In an instant, a strange sound of air being torn apart came from mid-air!

The two Pokémon's psychic powers collided in the air above the battlefield, but the collision lasted only a second.

Massana's body was immediately propelled into the air by Kirlia's psychic power, before crashing to the ground.

Once, twice, three times!

Ralts's temper did not decrease after evolving into Kirlia; on the contrary, it intensified!

Kirullian had no intention of giving Marshall a chance to stand up again!

As the trainer, Fujiki was powerless to stop it and could only watch helplessly as his Marthana was smashed and rendered unable to battle.

"Masana is incapacitated, Kirullian wins," the referee announced.

"Liru!" Kirullian landed from mid-air, her skirt fluttering slightly, her face cold as she looked down at Masana on the ground.

Trying to outwit me with telekinesis? Do you even have the ability?

Do you even realize how valuable the title of "Queen of Superpowers" truly is?!

"Heh, looks like she still has the air of a queen," Nanfeng laughed. Although she looks like a ballet dancer, her behavior already has the demeanor of a queen.

Excellent, very promising!

"Liru~" Perhaps sensing Nanfeng's thoughts, Kirlia suddenly transformed into a lady again, holding the hem of her skirt with both hands, and bowed to Nanfeng like a ballerina.

"It's not over yet!" When Fujiki saw Kirlia's final pose, the veins on his forehead throbbed. This was simply disregarding him!

He raised his hand and threw out the second Poké Ball.

A flash of silver light, and a burly, muscular man landed on the battlefield.

The spirit remains the same, still Machoke, but its level has increased from 26 to 27.

"Power!!!" As soon as Haoli appeared, he raised his arms and roared, his muscles trembling.

Then they started striking bodybuilding poses.

Forest pose, tree stump pose, bent pose, and so on.

It has to be said that the Pokémon trained by gym leaders are all incredibly well-developed!

This Magnus is simply too perfect in terms of physique and build.

If defeating the vine tree could also provide me with some breeding tips, just like the cuckoo, then it wouldn't be impossible to raise another Super King.

It's also fine to use it as a substitute for the Fighting-type Pokémon, Mighty Chicken.

But for Kirlia, Machoke? Where did this little punk come from?!

Today's showdown is destined to be the future super-powered queen Kirlia's runway!

"Horse Power, use Bodybuilding!" Fujiki commanded.

Hao Li immediately clenched his fists, turned his back to the front, and struck a classic muscle-showing pose, his muscles bulging all over.

Unlike those meaningless actions just now, the skill Bodybuilding can increase the Pokémon's attack and defense!

Nanfeng scoffed at the idea of ​​"meaningless behavior," knowing full well what Tengshu was thinking.

He simply wanted to use the immense power of Machamp to resist the control of psychic abilities. But he underestimated Kirlia!

Kirlia is a born 6V and a Shiny "Child of Destiny," so fighting opponents of higher levels is as easy for her as eating and drinking.

"Kirlian, one more time, Psychic!"

With a smile, Kirlia slowly turned around, her expression turning cold once more.

Her psychic power erupted once more, and her body took flight with it, her white skirt billowing as the power surged.

The next second, Haoli, who was still posing, was pulled into the air just like Masana, and even more easily.

Then, it was swung high into the air and slammed down heavily.

"Boom!" A loud explosion shook the ground.

Sensing the contempt in her master's eyes, Kirlia seemed to become even more ruthless in her actions than before.

"Li~~" Hao Li's powerless wail shocked the apprentices watching the battle.

When battling a Psychic-type Pokémon, being able to resist its psychic manipulation is the bare minimum requirement; otherwise, you don't even have the right to stand in front of it, so what's the point of battling?

Do the same thing.

After being slammed twice, Hawley's eyes had become swirling eddies.

As a pure Fighting-type Pokémon, Psychic-type damage deals double damage to it, so even though Machoke is much stronger than Massana, it is still not as durable as Massana.
