Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

"Defeat me!" Dark Mewtwo practically roared the last word, and the gold in its eyes was slowly covered by black the moment the words fell. Its slender right hand reached out and pressed down heavily.

Mega Gardevoir has already taken precautions.

Wide-area defense, mysterious protection, light wall, barrier, and hold are deployed simultaneously, and there is also instant teleportation.

But before Nanfeng could realize what had happened, he heard a series of loud bangs, like glass shattering.

Before his eyes, Nanfeng was only instantly teleported three meters away, while the Mega Gardevoir in front of him had been pressed into the ground by a powerful force, and its five-layered defense had collapsed in the previous instant.

A notification appears in the bottom left corner.

Your Gardevoir has lost its ability to battle.

Mega Gardevoir was...one-shotted?

Nanfeng immediately realized that whether this Dark Mewtwo was there to cause trouble or not, the process was the same.

You have to defeat it yourself first!

"Greninja, I'm counting on you!" Nanfeng took out his Pokémon and was about to release it.

But the moment he took out the Poké Ball, his legs suddenly went weak, and the scene before him spun around before plunging into darkness.

When the light and shadow before his eyes returned, he was already lying on his bed in his room, holding a handheld console, his character in the Pokémon Center in the Ironclad region.

"I...I got killed instantly too?"

456. Exclusive Resonance Move

After regaining his senses, Nanfeng returned to the battlefield of the Ironclad Alliance to check on things.

In a corner of the battlefield, there is a black portal; once you get close, a notification will appear on the handheld console.

[Enter the special dungeon "Darkness Descends" or not? (Disappears after completion)]

Recommended entry level for this dungeon: 100

Nanfeng breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the instance.

Being instantly defeated by Dark Mewtwo is no big deal, considering that the opponent is a top-tier legendary Pokémon that has reached the highest level of 100 and has also undergone "Darkening" enhancement.

It would be strange if it couldn't be killed instantly.

But now that it's a repeatable instance, one day, when I have the strength to defeat Dark Mewtwo, Dark Mewtwo will surely be mine!

"I never expected such an unexpected gain in the Jiantie region," Nanfeng smiled, expressing great satisfaction with the trip.

The next time I come here, it will probably be when I capture Dark Mewtwo. After all, there's nothing else here worth paying attention to.

Oh right, before leaving, I need to redeem my Ironclad Alliance battle points. If all goes well, I should currently have over a million points.

Nanfeng arrived at the Ironclad Alliance lobby and asked a staff member to check his points.

I currently have 1.51 million points. If I want, I can exchange them for ten MEGA evolution stones.

I received a redeemable form from the staff.

Nanfeng discovered rewards he had never seen before: a legendary Pokémon item and a manual for various Pokémon's ultimate moves, also known as "Resonance Moves".

Legendary items need no further explanation. But this Resonance move is actually one of the unique abilities of the Ironclad region. In addition to requiring the corresponding Pokémon, it also needs to be used with a "Resonance Stone".

If Nanfeng remembers correctly, these are the derivative moves that only appear in the "Pokémon Tekken" games.

For example, Lucario's "Aura Strike"; Pikachu's "Volt Punch"; Machamp's "Explosive Slam," etc. These are all moves that Pokémon originally did not possess.

The reason he didn't use the Resonance move with Might during his battle with Glenn was probably because the battle was too short. He didn't have time to accumulate enough energy to use the Resonance Stone, so the battle was ended easily.

After reviewing the special move manuals of all the Pokémon in the entire Ironclad League, I found only four manuals that matched my Pokémon.

Gardevoir's ultimate move, Fairy Storm, requires 100,000 points to redeem.

The Gengar's special move, Hellfire, requires 80,000 points to redeem.

The Blaziken's special move, Blazing Kick, requires 70,000 points to redeem.

The Garchomp's special move, Outrage, requires 100,000 points to redeem.

The four Pokémon ultimate move manuals cost a total of 350,000 points, which is equivalent to 2-3 Mega Evolution Stones.

However, instead of buying it immediately, Nanfeng also checked the exchange points price for legendary Pokémon items.

Water Cloth (Legendary): Requires 500,000 points to exchange. (From the legendary spirit "Suicune")

Shadow of the Mist (Legendary): Requires 450,000 points to exchange (from the legendary spirit "Darkrai")

There are only two legendary spirit items.

The Jiantie region is not only a poor area, but its resources are also much worse than other regions.

In my Hoenn, I have over a dozen legendary Pokémon items to choose from.

However, it's good that there are fewer items, as I can take care of everything myself.

The two legendary spirit items are worth a total of 950,000 points, plus the four secret manuals, that's 1.3 million.

I have 210,000 points left. Hmm, 210,000 points is enough to exchange for a Mega Evolution Stone. But I don't need any evolution stones right now, so I'll save these points for later. I'll exchange them for special move manuals or Mega Evolution Stones when I have some Pokémon to train.

After the exchange was completed, staff from the Ironclad Alliance quickly delivered all the items to Nanfeng.

There's nothing particularly interesting about the four special moves; once used on a Pokémon, it learns the corresponding move.

Nanfeng was quite surprised by the two legendary Pokémon items, because they weren't portable items, but rather... consumables!

Water Cloth (Legendary): After use, increases the power of Water-type moves by 20%, cleanses the area of ​​effect around the user every 3 seconds, and grants Suicune's exclusive resonance move "Super Absolute Zero" (Note: Can only be used on Water and Ice-type Pokémon).

Dark Mist Shadow (Legendary): After use, the power of Dark-type moves is increased by 20%, and the user gains the ability to enter shadows. It also comes with Darkrai's exclusive resonance move "｀ 々Infinite Total Eclipse" (Note: Can only be used on Dark-type Pokémon.)

"Hiss!" Nanfeng couldn't help but gasp.

He took back what he had just said.

Although the Ironclad region is small and resources are scarce, every item it produces is of the highest quality!

Although the two legendary Pokémon items do not significantly boost the power of a Pokémon's moves, and their abilities are not particularly strong, they can enable a Pokémon that does not yet have a corresponding exclusive Resonance Move to learn an exclusive Move.

As a consumable item, its presence does not count towards the number of items you can carry!

So these attributes, abilities, and exclusive resonance moves are basically given away for free!

"Water, Ice, and Dark types," Nanfeng immediately prepared to use them on his Pokémon.

The Water Cloth (by Deno Zhao) can only be used on Water-type and Ice-type Pokémon. I don't have any Ice-type Pokémon, and my only Water-type Pokémon are Greninja and Gyarados.

Nanfeng decides to give the Water Cloth to Greninja. With the Champion approaching, improving Greninja's combat abilities, as one of her mainstays, is absolutely essential.

The Shadow Mist can only be used on Dark-type Pokémon, and the user only has two Dark-type Pokémon.

Greninja and Tyranitar.

emmmmm....

Nanfeng silently handed over the Shadow of Evil Mist to Greninja.

It wasn't that he was biased, but the ability to enter shadows felt a bit out of place for Tyranitar. On the contrary, the ability to enter shadows actually made Greninja's ninja image clearer!

Who would have thought that the biggest gain from this trip to the Ironclad region would be Greninja, which doesn't have its own unique Resonance Move.

457. South Wind vs. East Name, the Battle of the Champions

May 13th, Wednesday.

It was an ordinary day; students went to school as usual, and adults went to work as normal, seemingly no different from any other day.

But a major event is happening today, and it is attracting global attention!

Shining King, the youngest King in the history of the Dragon Kingdom, is about to challenge the Dragon Kingdom champion!

As one of the world's top powers, China's annual championship battles inevitably attract worldwide attention. Therefore, even before Nanfeng and Dongfang Mingren arrived at the National Pokémon Arena, cameras from hundreds of domestic and international media outlets had already been set up at the front of the stands in the arena.

The crowds were immense, not only inside the National Pokémon Arena but also around the venue, filling dozens of streets to capacity. The authorities had to deploy a security force of over a thousand people to keep things running smoothly.

"Phew~ They're really enthusiastic," Nanfeng swaggered into the VIP passage.

Although there was a crowd blocking the entrance, they ignored Nanfeng.

"Luckily, I have Zoroark!"

Once Zoroark activates its illusion, Southwind becomes virtually invisible, only Ghost-type Pokémon stronger than Zoroark can sense it.

Zoroark is currently equipped with 197 Yokai Tablets.

Sorry, unless top-tier legendary Pokémon like Giratina or Arceus personally appear, there is no Ghost-type Pokémon in this world stronger than me!

Soroyal proudly stands with his hands on his hips.JPG

The spectators who were blocking Nanfeng in the VIP passage didn't realize that he had sneaked into the National Pokémon Arena until they heard that the battle had already started.

Enter the private lounge.

Nanfeng leaned back on the sofa and rested comfortably.

This isn't my first time at the National Pokémon Arena. The last time I came here was when I was competing against Ryuichi in the Elite Four Challenge.

I picked up my phone, and it was filled with encouraging messages from teachers, senior students, and friends.

Lin Xuan: I'm all set up, just waiting for your performance.

Ziyi: Junior, go for it! o(￣ヘ￣o＃)

Huo Wenjie: Junior, it is our duty to restore the glory of Baimen!

Teacher Bai Wenru: Take it easy and don't worry about temporary successes or failures. You are still very young.

Nanfeng replied to each message. Having made all the preparations, he still had an hour before the battle, so he needed to find something to kill time.

Half an hour before the start of the match, the referee came to confirm the Pokémon to be used and to conduct tests.

After the testing is completed, it's time to go on stage.

Picking up his six Poké Balls, Nanfeng walked into the contestant tunnel.

The clamor and shouts grew louder and louder as the battle was about to begin, culminating in an explosion the moment Nanfeng and Dongfangming stepped onto the battle stage.

If the roaring sound waves hadn't been uneven, they probably could have shattered windows within a radius of a hundred meters.

Nanfeng and Dongfangming couldn't hear what they were shouting at all.

I guess she's shouting that Nanfeng is so handsome~

Nanfeng and Dongfangming stood facing each other, their gazes colliding in mid-air, sparks flying.

The will to fight has already begun to rise ahead of schedule.

The Dragon Kingdom Champion was Nanfeng's dream when he came to this world. Dongfang Ming was a powerful figure he already knew. When he was looking forward to the Dragon Kingdom Champion title, he had already imagined what kind of duel he would have with Dongfang Ming.

Now, without even imagining it, I will face Dongfang Ming directly.

Unlike the excitement of challenging other champions in a game, this feeling arises spontaneously!

Dongfang Ming looked at Nanfeng, his fighting spirit even more intense.

Because Nanfeng was a completely unfamiliar opponent to him.

Before Nanfeng declared war on him that day, he didn't even know Nanfeng existed. His initial expectation of fighting Nanfeng was more of an encouragement.

Who would have thought that South Wind, who had just become one of the Four Heavenly Kings, would actually stand before him and challenge his throne in less than a year!

A completely unfamiliar rival who is qualified to threaten his throne.

This gave Dongfang Ming a fresh and pure combat experience.

Neither of them spoke, nor did they have anything to say.

The challenge for the champion's throne is brutal; only the victor is worthy of the adoration of all.

The referee slowly walked onto the battlefield. The noisy arena quieted down, everyone's eyes focused, their minds concentrated, eager to witness the upcoming battle!

"The Champion Challenge is now beginning! Our Elite Trainer Nanfeng challenges Champion Trainer Dongfang Ming!" The referee announced the battle rules, microphone in hand.

"The rules of the battle are six to four. The battle ends when one trainer has four Pokémon that are unable to battle!" The rules of the battle are simple and straightforward, and the referee raised his flag to indicate this.

"Now, both sides, please send out your starting Pokémon!"

Nanfeng and Dongfangming reached to their waists, their fingertips tracing over the six Poké Balls that had been prepared beforehand, before finally making their selections.
