Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

Its massive body crashed into the ground, creating cracks that stretched for a hundred meters.

"So~that~sei!" Sure enough, Weng remained very polite, squinting his eyes and turning to salute Nanfeng, as if reporting to him that its opponent had been defeated.

The tusk pig, the size of a hill, lay prostrate before the old man, its limbs limp and kneeling, its eyes rolled back and white foam escaping from its mouth.

Unlike other Pokémon that are defeated but only lose their ability to battle, it repeatedly rammed its head into Wobbuffet, only to be countered with double the force. After just a few impacts, its not-so-large head was completely burned.

"Boom!" The final salute sounded.

It was the Rock Fortress Super Armored Rhino that fell from the rock pillar it created.

It was blasted down by a move it was equally adept at, the "Hyper Beam." Given its size, even if the Hyper Beam had no effect, being blasted off the rock pillar would still render it unable to fight.

As for the instigator, it was of course the opponent chosen from the very beginning of the battle.

Red Gyarados.

Thus, Nanfeng and Pengdou had only exchanged a few words, and hadn't even really fought, yet his entire army of elves was wiped out.

"It seems your old buddies didn't give you much time," Nanfeng said casually, hooking his foot to reveal a rock chair behind him for him to sit on.

"So, are you ready to admit defeat?"

Peng Dou stood blankly in front of Nan Feng, his slightly cloudy eyes reflecting the magnificent scenery.

Nanfeng sat serenely on the rocky throne, his expression as calm as an emperor. Storms raged around him, and a torrential downpour was falling, yet not a single drop of rain fell on his hair.

The red Gyarados fell from the sky, its ferocious face right next to Southwind's throne.

Greninja leaned against the throne, its eyes fixed on him, wary and ready to strike at any moment.

Zeraora crouched on the back of the throne, curiously observing him.

Gardevoir stood beside Southwind like a stunning secretary, her hands gently caressing her long dress.

Garchomp stood in front of Nanfeng. It was a fierce general with a ruthless gaze and a dangerous aura emanating from its dragon eyes. As long as Nanfeng gave the order, it would immediately attack and kill.

If Garchomp is a ruthless general, then Wobbuffet is a royal bodyguard. Its slightly comical body is still saluting, but only those who know the power of Mamoswine's Tackle can understand just how tough Wobbuffet's chubby blue body really is.

The scene before him was branded into Peng Dou's mind like a branding iron, and he vowed that he would never forget such a shocking moment, even until his death.

"I... admit defeat."

433. Firebird, Demon Shadow

"Talented people emerge in every generation..."

Peng Dou couldn't help but sigh, feeling like a wave crashing on the beach. He couldn't deny he was getting old.

I remember the last time I had this feeling was when I played against the current champion, Dongfang Meita.

Or... I should retire too. It's going to be the young people's world now. Retire early to avoid ruining my reputation in my later years.

"You flatter me," Nanfeng said, bowing to Old Master Peng Dou.

The two began recalling all their Pokémon. Then they flipped over, mounted their flying Pokémon, and headed towards the island where Dong Yan and Li Yan were battling.

As soon as he got closer, Nanfeng noticed the unusual thing in the sky.

Thick, dark clouds crowded together like clumps of mud, but above the island, a gap was torn in the sky, and the sun shone brightly.

Looking down at the battlefield from above, the entire island was shrouded in a thick layer of black energy, making it impossible to see what was happening inside. Only a faint, bright red flame could be seen leaping and burning fiercely.

Fire and ghost-type powers are clashing wildly on the island.

It brings out an even more thrilling energy fluctuation.

Nanfeng and Pengdou's fight was a wild one, and it ended quickly, while the battle between Liyan and Dongyan was still going on and seemed to be in a heated phase.

Nanfeng didn't let Gyarados get any closer.

"Where did Li Yan get the fire from the Moltres?" Old Master Peng Dou muttered.

"The flames of the Moltres?" Nanfeng asked curiously.

“Yes, I traveled with Moltres for a few years and I know a bit about its flames. That flame that seems to burn forever and can never be extinguished is Moltres’ flame,” Peng Dou said, pointing to the flames that were leaping endlessly into the darkness.

"If your second match is against Li Yan, be careful of this flame. Once you get even a tiny bit of it, it won't go out until you lose the ability to fight."

Nanfeng nodded, having learned something new: the flames of a Moltres cannot be extinguished.

"Roar!!" A furious roar resounded through the sky.

Immediately afterwards, another huge black shadow rose up from the dark energy.

Nanfeng and Pengdou could see it clearly from the distant sky. The dark figure looked like a majestic general, holding a Guan Dao (a type of halberd) and leaping to slash.

"Boom!!!"

The island trembled.

"Has your senior's development of the Shadow of the Night reached this level? Changing the appearance and attack methods of the Shadow of the Night?" Peng Dou exclaimed in amazement.

Nanfeng had also seen this move in the information about her senior's battles.

The enhanced and advanced version of the Night Demon Shadow, which the senior student calls "Demon God Shadow".

Nanfeng felt like a Stand user and Susanoo, summoning a giant demonic shadow to launch an attack.

However... Nanfeng had never seen anything like it before, with such a massive size and such a cool attack style.

Once the ultimate move is unleashed, it seems the battle is over.

A few minutes later, the darkness collapsed, revealing the island.

The island was in complete disarray; the ground was shattered, and the aftershocks of the clash between the two kings had already eroded the island's horizon by several meters.

The trees were reduced to ashes, and even after the battle was over, the flames continued to burn tirelessly, accompanied by wisps of white smoke all around.

In the middle of the island, Li Yan and Dong Yan stood facing each other, and before them, the two elves were still locked in a standoff.

Dong Yan's Pokémon is the Mega Evolution of his ace, Gengar, while Li Yan's Pokémon is Moltres!

"Moflame Bird? Li Yan tamed a Moflame Bird? When did that happen?!" Peng Dou looked incredulous.

Nanfeng was only slightly outside the border, so what happened to Moltres? He had already caught Lugia, and if that Zapdos hadn't run away so fast, he probably would have caught another Zapdos by now.

"Crack..."

With a light thud, Moltres rolled its eyes and collapsed limply to the ground, having lost its ability to fight.

Beside them, a robot, entirely black but barely functional, announced the results.

"Momartre is unable to battle, Gengar wins, and Trainer Li Yan has no Pokémon available, so the final winner is Dong Yan."

"Even with Li Yan's own strength plus a Flamebird, he still lost to Dong Yan. Has Dong Yan's strength increased so much during this period?" Peng Dou took a puff of his cigarette.

On the battlefield, Li Yan was already shaking hands with Dong Yan.

0 ···Requesting flowers 0 ······

"congratulations"

Thank you for your guidance.

Dong Yan looked up at Nan Feng and Peng Dou.

"You've finished fighting? Then... who won?"

"Slightly better than half a move," Nanfeng replied.

"Come on, Nanfeng kid, this kind of modest way of saving face is not acceptable," Peng Dou said, his beard bristling and eyes wide, as he descended from the sky to complain to Li Yan and Dong Yan about Nanfeng's atrocities.

"I had a wild battle with Southwind Kid, and it turned out that not only could I, as a trainer, not only lose to him in a real battle, but I also got completely thrashed in a six-on-six battle with my Pokémon. In the end, all six of my Pokémon ganged up on me and forced me to surrender."

Dong Yan and Li Yan were immediately surprised.

They weren't surprised that Nanfeng was able to defeat Old Master Peng Dou.

... ... ...

Having already proven himself in his battle against Long Yi, Nanfeng has secured his place among the Four Heavenly Kings. However, to say he defeated Peng Dou in a real-life PvP match is a different story.

Could it be that Nanfeng, at the age of twenty, is already a master of martial arts?

"The future truly belongs to you young people," Li Yan remarked. He and Peng Dou, one at level 50 and the other in their seventies, were brutally beaten by two juniors in their twenties and thirties. You can't deny getting old.

"Then, let's go to the central island and start the next battle," Dong Yan said, eager to fight Nan Feng.

"Senior brother, why don't you take a rest?" Nanfeng suggested. "I barely expended any energy during my fight with Grandpa Peng Dou."

I fought against Grandpa Peng Dou in the wild, and the battle ended relatively quickly. When I took out my handheld console, only two of the six Pokémon had lost a little health, which was easily restored with a single ordinary healing potion.

"It's alright, my main Pokémon isn't seriously injured either, we can start the next battle right away," Dong Yan waved his hand.

"Why do you two brothers say such unpleasant things?" Li Yan complained, realizing that even he and Grandpa Peng Dou couldn't force them to use their full strength.

“That’s right, that’s right,” Old Master Peng Dou said, holding his pipe with a displeased expression.

Dong Yan and Nan Feng exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile wryly.

They were just telling the truth.

"How about... take a 30-minute break? Have some afternoon tea before we start?" Nanfeng suggested.

"行" (xíng) is the sixth character.

434. Gengar makes its appearance in the battle against the senior.

The four of them had afternoon tea together on the island in the middle.

At the level of the Four Heavenly Kings, who doesn't possess some form of spatial ability? Each of them took out a delicious treat from their "storage space" and shared it together.

Black tea with mango crepe cake, plus mung bean cake and beef jerky.

The black tea was brought by Dong Yan, the mango mille-feuille cake by Nan Feng, the mung bean cake by Grandpa Peng Dou, and the beef jerky by Li Yan.

"Can you even bite through it?" Old Master Peng Dou looked at Li Yan's beef jerky with disdain. He had long since replaced his dentures; as a martial artist, it was inevitable that someone would knock out a few teeth.

"While I can still chew it now, I should eat as much as I can. It'll be too late for me to eat mung bean cake when I can't chew it like you anymore," Li Yan said, but in reality, he also had a hard time eating beef jerky.

"Who said I can't bite through beef jerky?" Peng Dou angrily grabbed a piece of beef jerky and challenged him.

"Be careful, don't use it too much and break your dentures, or I'll have to buy you a new pair."

The two elderly people were bickering, but the young people decided not to get involved.

Nanfeng sipped his red tea, while Dongyan applied medicine to his elves.

Judging from the injuries of the Pokémon, Dong Yan's statement that his main Pokémon were not seriously injured was not an exaggeration, because the Pokémon he released to apply medicine, apart from his ace Pokémon Gengar, were not his main Pokémon.

Dong Yan defeated Li Yan using his second team.

Of course, Nanfeng had no way of knowing whether any of Dong Yan's second team's Pokémon had already been promoted to first team; he was only making a judgment based on the information he had collected. And even the latest version of this information was almost half a year old.

"Isn't afternoon tea about to end?" Dong Yan stood up and looked at Nanfeng after recalling the elves.

Li Yan and Peng Dou also stopped arguing.

"Let's begin then," Nanfeng said, putting down his teacup and standing up to stretch.

Li Yan and Peng Dou immediately cleared away the afternoon tea table and snacks, then mounted their flying sprites, giving Nan Feng and Dong Yan a large enough battlefield.

Nanfang and Dong Yan each took their respective positions as trainers.

"We both aim for the championship, and I thought we would face off one day, but I never imagined that this moment would come so soon," Dong Yan suddenly said, his tone somewhat emotional.

“I didn’t expect it to be so fast either,” Nanfeng shrugged.

When was the first time I met Dong Yan?

At that time, I was a freshman in college and had just officially become a disciple of Professor Bai Wenru. Because of the Gastly incident, I went to visit Senior Dong Yan.

In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.

This time seems like a long time, but in reality, it's too short for a trainer to complete the ultimate triple jump from an ordinary college freshman to a gym leader, and then to an Elite Four member.

It's so short it's terrifying and unbelievable!

Presumably, Dong Yan was recalling the scene when he first met Nan Feng, which is why he is feeling so emotional now.

“However, we should have many more opportunities to battle in the future,” Dong Yan said, taking a Poké Ball from his waist.

This battle is just the beginning. Regardless of who wins or loses, Nanfeng and Dongyan will have many more opportunities to fight each other in the future.
