Pokémon: Blessed by Fate, starting with the destruction of Tyranitar.

Li Huowang took out the map again to check their current location, and then walked forward.

In the blink of an eye, Li Huowang and Gengar arrived in front of a cave.

Looking at the cave, Li Huowang suddenly felt a strange sensation.

For some reason, Li Huowang seemed to sense that the highly poisonous stone slab he had been searching for was in that cave.

"Gengar, let's go inside."

"Yes, Master," Gengar replied.

After Li Huowang led Gengar into the cave, they followed a winding path inside and soon found a purple stone slab covered with mysterious runes.

Upon seeing this, Li Huowang was completely stunned.

This highly poisonous stone slab seemed different from what he remembered.

However, when Li Huowang realized that the world he was in was different from the world he had before he transmigrated, he quickly felt relieved.

"Gengar, go and take down that poisonous stone slab, and then absorb the power from it."

Li Huowang didn't know how to deal with the poisonous stone plate, nor how to fuse Gengar with it. He could only let Gengar try.

After some exploration, Gengar finally sensed the power emanating from the poisonous stone slab that resonated with it perfectly.

“Master, I can feel that this stone slab can increase my combat power and make my poison-type moves more powerful.”

Upon hearing this, Li Huowang was secretly delighted.

Can it enhance the power of Gengar's Poison-type moves?

Without a doubt, this is the world's most poisonous stone tablet.

"Gengar, hurry up and absorb all the power that's on the stone slab."

Gengar didn't say anything and continued absorbing.

After some time, Gengar finally absorbed all the power contained in the poisonous stone slab.

At the same time, when Li Huowang looked at Gengar again, he discovered that after Gengar absorbed the poisonous stone tablet, it had acquired a series of additional information.

However, none of these are related to the Star God; they are simply new techniques.

153. Gengar advances to Champion level and encounters a Swampert with extremely high HP.

After a careful inspection, Li Huowang discovered that his Gengar had mastered several new skills and moves.

These are Dark-type Dark Pulse and Ghost-type Misfortune.

In addition to the two new moves, the Toxic Plate also provides Gengar with an all-around boost, transforming Gengar from a dominant Pokémon into a champion-level Pokémon.

Although Gengar's attributes were still slightly lacking after it was promoted to Champion level, Li Huowang knew that Gengar was not particularly strong to begin with.

After training for so long without Gengar showing significant improvement, Li Huowang noticed something amiss.

This Gengar's potential is still a bit low; its base stats are just at their maximum.

Moreover, Li Huowang's Gengar was chosen by the planet of harmony, Hipe.

While Hipe did indeed increase Gengar's move power and give Gengar the ability to boost its abilities.

But that's just an amplification; in the team, he's just a support role.

Gengar can provide support while also dealing some damage, which is already quite good.

If he encounters a trainer with a powerful Pokémon, Li Huowang will have no choice but to send out Tyranitar.

With this in mind, Li Huowang already had a general idea.

"Never mind." Li Huowang waved his hand, no longer thinking about these things.

Li Huowang was already very satisfied that Gengar was able to leap from a Totem-level Pokémon to a Champion-level Pokémon.

You should know that, looking at the whole world, you probably can't find many champion-level Gengar.

Most trainers don't have the patience or the resources for this.

Furthermore, Li Huowang knew very well that if he hadn't found the poisonous stone tablet, Gengar would probably still be at the Overlord level even after a few more years of training.

After reviewing the new information about Gengar, Li Huowang put away the detailed panel.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your Gengar has absorbed the Poisonous Stone Tablet. Gengar has been greatly enhanced, and you have received system experience rewards.]

After hearing the system message, Li Huowang quickly checked Gengar's current level.

Gengar

[lv.90]

[Attribute: Poison/Ghost]

……

"As expected, I've reached level ninety." Li Huowang clicked his tongue.

Just as Li Huowang and Gengar were walking out of the cave, another figure blocked their path.

Having learned from his previous experience, Li Huowang immediately had Gengar prepare for battle.

As the figure drew closer, Li Huowang finally got a clear look at the sprite.

It turned out to be a Swampert, and its level was the same as Gengar's, both being level 90, Champion-level Swamperts.

Upon seeing this, Li Huowang's breathing became rapid.

Swamp monsters of this caliber are quite rare.

"Maybe we should just capture this Swampert."

Li Huowang quickly made up his mind.

Next, we'll challenge the Nose Dojo, which requires crossing a body of water.

If this Swampert has the Surf move by default, then there's nothing to worry about.

With this thought in mind, Li Huowang's gaze towards the giant swamp monster gradually became more intense.

At this moment, Swampert, which was standing opposite Li Huowang and Gengar, seemed to realize Li Huowang's intention and lay prostrate on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Li Huowang felt a violent tremor coming from the ground beneath his feet.

Swampert unleashed its Earthquake attack!

However, Swampert's earthquake had no effect on Gengar.

···Requesting flowers·········

Li Huowang's Gengar seemed to feel immense pressure from the Swampert and began to attack it.

Gengar was the first to throw a Shadow Ball at Swampert, which hit Swampert.

Swampert failed to dodge Gengar's attack and immediately followed up with a Surf move.

Gengar was immediately drenched by Swampert's Surf move.

"Gengar, activate Dark Pulse."

"And then misfortune struck again."

Gengar then attacked Swampert as Li Huowang had instructed.

........0.......

However, even with the boost, Gengar couldn't instantly kill the Swampert.

Li Huowang saw that the Swamp Monster's health had only been reduced to a yellow level.

"This isn't going to kill you?"

Li Huowang was stunned.

He vaguely sensed that this swamp monster was different from any he had seen before.

While Swampert has a lot of health, this is only relative to the average Pokémon.

Even with Li Huowang's Gengar stacking so many attacks, it still couldn't one-shot Swampert, so it seems this Swampert is a must-have for him.

Li Huowang silently made up his mind.

"Gengar, knock this Swampert down."

As soon as Li Huowang said this, Gengar charged at Swampert again, unleashing its move, Misfortune never comes singly.

This time, Gengar's attack did not disappoint Li Huowang.

Two consecutive punches brought Swampert to low health, and Swampert entered a relatively weak state.

Seeing that Swampert's movements had become noticeably slower, Li Huowang threw out the Poké Ball he had prepared beforehand.

The swamp monster seemed stunned, lying motionless on the ground.

154. Swampert uses Surf to reach the Nose Gym.

Although Li Huowang didn't know what was going on with this Swampert, it didn't move until the moment he opened the Poké Ball. Instead, Li Huowang silently put it into the Poké Ball.

Seeing this, Li Huowang understood.

However, to Li Huowang's surprise, when he went to check the information about the Swamp Monster, he only saw one thing: the Swamp Monster was not chosen by any of the Fate Star Gods.

Swampert's base stats were also normal. The reason it survived for so long despite being boosted by Gengar's attacks was because Swampert has high HP and defense.

"This isn't right. Generally speaking, all the spirits I've captured in the past have eventually been chosen by the Star God of Destiny. Why is this time different?"

Li Huowang muttered something to himself, then shook his head and put the Poké Ball containing Swampert into his backpack.

Since Swampert's health was too low and it had fallen asleep, Li Huowang thought for a moment and finally sat down on the ground to rest with Gengar.

The aura emanating from Gengar, having absorbed the power of the Poisonous Stone Plate, has become somewhat different from before.

In the vast wetland where Li Huowang and his companions were, no other elves jumped out to disturb their rest.

Feeling this rare tranquility, Li Huowang couldn't help but sigh.

"As expected, a Gengar that has reached the Champion level is no match for a Gengar that has reached the Overlord level."

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when Li Huowang felt he had rested enough, he took out the Poké Ball containing the Swampert again and examined it carefully.

Li Huowang didn't particularly care about Swampert's other stats.

After all, not being chosen by the Star God of Destiny means that the potential of this kind of spirit is not very high, and it can only serve as a supplement to the Pokédex.

Of course, for Li Huowang, the Swampert had another use: it had mastered surfing.

Swampert, having mastered the Surf move, can be very useful when encountering bodies of water.

Thinking this, Li Huowang looked at his backpack again, took out some items that could restore the Swampert's health, and set off again.

Having finally made it to Nose City, Li Huowang felt that something was missing if he didn't take the opportunity to visit the Nose Dojo.

The Trainer Badge you get after defeating the Nose Gym is quite useful.

Li Huowang took out a map, glanced at it, found the location of the Nose Dojo, and continued on his way.

After walking for several hours, Li Huowang finally saw a patch of blue water ahead.

The Nose Dojo spans that body of water.

"No wonder people say that Nose City used to be an ocean, and that it was only after the sea receded that a large swamp and a small piece of land were formed. Now that we see it, it really is true."

Li Huowang pursed his lips, then summoned Swampert from the Poké Ball.

The Swamp Monster suddenly appeared in front of Li Huowang, who was momentarily confused.

Judging from Swampert's confused expression, it seems it still doesn't understand what happened...

"Master...Master?"

The Swamp Monster's deep, questioning voice reached Li Huowang's ears.

Actually, the Swamp Monster didn't know why it said that; it just felt that it had to acknowledge Li Huowang as its master.

"What's wrong with me? Why am I able to communicate with you?"

Li Huowang waved his hand, "It's too complicated to explain all of this, I'll tell you later."

After saying that, Li Huowang ordered Swampert, "Swampert, use Surf to take us to the Nose Gym ahead."

"Yes!"
