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

"Damn it, I wonder if Swampert can withstand Gyarados's Flying-type move this time." Li Huowang frowned.

All he could do now was pray that Gyarados's Blizzard attack didn't hit Swampert.

Hurricane is a powerful Flying-type move with considerable power. Especially when the levels of Li Huowang's Swampert and Gyarados are not too different, if Swampert is hit by Hurricane, it is very likely to be sent back into its Poké Ball.

However, Li Huowang also knew that the Storm, a Flying-type skill, had a weakness: its hit rate was a dismal "823", just like the Water-type skill Water Cannon.

Once the opponent's spirit is hit, it will either die or be severely injured.

If the move doesn't hit the opponent's Pokémon and is simply dodged by it, then it's a useless move.

Li Huowang never lets his Pokémon learn this type of skill.

Because accuracy is everything; burst damage is secondary.

What's the point of having high power if your skills can't even hit the opponent's Pokémon?

Li Huowang doesn't follow the route of relying on front-line tanks with exceptionally high health.

"Please don't let it hit me," Li Huowang silently prayed in his heart.

It's unclear whether it was the buff from Gengar's Destiny Affinity Star God that amplified Swampert's Luck nature, or whether Li Huowang's secret prayers truly worked.

Before Yoshino's Gyarados could hit Swampert with its Blizzard attack, Swampert got up and jumped away.

"Didn't win?"

After seeing Gyarados's Blizzard attack miss, Yoshino stared at everything in disbelief.

He simply couldn't understand why Gyarados's usually invincible Hurricane attack could be dodged by a Swampert.

Even though Swampert was three levels higher than his Gyarados, and Hurricane's accuracy was relatively low compared to other moves, it seemed a bit strange that Swampert could dodge it so easily.

Ji Xian looked Li Huowang over again. He felt that something was strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"It's my turn."

Li Huowang smiled and said, "Swamp Monster, you decide what to do."

After defeating so many Pokémon with Swampert, Li Huowang was too lazy to even command Swampert to use any skills anymore.

The Champion-level Swampert is different from the regular Swampert. Even without Li Huowang's command, the Swampert will automatically choose a suitable move to attack the opponent's Pokémon.

As Li Huowang had predicted, Swampert used a Rock Slide attack on Gyarados.

In an instant, countless stones rained down on Yoshinobu's gyaru dragon head.

Swampert immediately used Rock Slide to effectively knock down Gyarados.

Gyarados's HP suddenly decreased, eventually dropping to 0, and then it automatically returned to its Poké Ball.

"The effect is outstanding, no wonder."

Ji Xian put away the Poké Ball containing Gyarados, then belatedly realized, "You're really good at using Rock-type moves to attack my Flying-types."

"I must say, your Swampert was indeed very lucky in the first round of the competition."

"of course."

Li Huowang gave a harmless smile. "I've always been lucky, and I always manage to turn bad luck into good. I'll keep being lucky..."

"Don't be too happy yet. You only defeated one of my Gyarados. I still have two Pokémon left."

After saying that, Ji Xian took out the Poké Ball again.

This time, Yoshihiro sent out a Floating Weasel King.

When Li Huowang saw the level of Ji Xian's Floating Weasel King, he couldn't help but gasp.

Surprisingly, Yoshinobu, the gym leader of Nose City, also owns a level 90 Champion-level Pokémon.

Just as Li Huowang was about to switch out Swampert and bring in Gengar, Yoshinobu, the Nose City Gym Leader, used a Megasaur that used Agility to increase its attack speed.

Immediately afterward, before Swampert could react, Floating Weasel King used an Ice-type move, Freeze Fang, on Li Huowang's Swampert.

Swampert was bitten by the Floating Weasel King, and its health dropped rapidly.

Before long, Li Huowang saw that the health of his Swampert on the field had dropped from full health to 30 health.

"What's wrong? I told you my Swampert 1.8 is a very lucky Pokémon. You didn't believe me before, but now you should, right?" Li Huowang said with a sly smile.

In fact, Li Huowang's heart was also pounding wildly.

When the Floating Weasel King used the Frozen Fang skill on the Swampert just now, it was extremely effective.

However, this did not kill his Swampert, which shows that the Swampert's defense is quite strong.

Thinking this, Li Huowang lowered his head and looked at the Poké Ball containing Gengar in his hand with a puzzled expression.

The Poké Ball did not emit a purple glow as it had before.

165. Li Huowang's speculation: The Swamp Monster may possess the Destiny Star God.

When Li Huowang saw that the Poké Ball containing Gengar did not flash any light, he was stunned.

Li Huowang remembered clearly that when his Gengar used the Star God's buff move, Destiny Harmony, to strengthen Swampert, the Poké Ball would still emit a purple light even though Gengar wasn't in the field.

It was after being illuminated by that strange purple light that Swampert's stats across all attributes increased significantly.

However, the Poké Ball containing Gengar was not emitting any light, which means that Gengar did not provide any stat boosts to the Swampert on Li Huowang's field.

Swampert managed to withstand the devastating damage from Floatmon's Ice Fang, an Ice-type move, entirely thanks to its massive HP and powerful defense.

Thinking about this, a very bold idea suddenly popped into Li Huowang's mind.

Li Huowang even vaguely felt that this Swampert was actually like the Pokémon he owned, and was more or less favored by a Destiny Star God.

If that's the case, then who exactly is the star god who favors the Swamp Monster?

Just as Li Huowang was lost in thought, another abrupt voice broke his reverie.

"Hey, Li Huowang, can't you show a little respect for your opponent? Our fight isn't over yet, and you're just standing there daydreaming?"

Ji Xian said to Li Huowang somewhat angrily, "This habit is not good, and you are making me feel very embarrassed by your disrespect."

Hearing Ji Xian's words, Li Huowang couldn't help but retort, "As the head of the Nose Gym, I think you're not one of the weakest. Over the years, I'm sure I'm not the only Pokémon trainer who has come to your Nose Gym to challenge you, right?"

"So what?" Ji Xian retorted.

"Since you've already met so many different Pokémon trainers and Pokémon, you should know that different Pokémon have different personalities, right?"

"Nonsense, of course I know." Ji Xian rolled his eyes at Li Huowang with great dissatisfaction.

"Humph."

Li Huowang snorted coldly, "Since Pokémon have different personality traits, don't Pokémon trainers also have different personality traits?"

Ji Xian was stunned once again upon hearing Li Huowang's words.

For a fleeting moment, he suddenly felt that what Li Huowang said seemed to make a lot of sense.

Li Huowang looked up at Ji Xian and said, "So, of course I, Li Huowang, have my own personality. My personality trait is being in a daze. Is that not allowed?"

"Alright."

Ji Xian was completely bewildered by Li Huowang's words.

After pondering for a while, Ji Xian added another sentence.

"However, I've never seen a Pokémon trainer with such an eccentric personality as you before, but I have seen quite a few Pokémon like you."

"Ok?"

"Oh, I remember now, it seems that Psyduck is a Pokémon that really likes to daydream."

As Ji Xian spoke, a light suddenly shone in his eyes.

"..."

Li Huowang was once again speechless by Yoshinobu, the head of the Nose Dojo.

This guy not only said he was spacing out, but he also said he looked like Psyduck when he was spacing out?

How can I tolerate this indirect self-criticism?

"Swamp Monster, charge!"

Swamp Monster then rushed in front of the Floating Weasel King and swung its elbow at it.

The Floating Weasel King was immediately knocked to the ground by the Swamp Monster.

What Li Huowang found somewhat regrettable was that this Floating Weasel King was at the same level as the Swampert, and also possessed Champion-level strength.

Swamp Monster's arm-hammering skill failed to kill Floating Weasel King instantly.

"Haha, see? It's not just you who has a champion-level Pokémon, I, Yoshihiro, have one too."

"Floating Weasel King, use the Frozen Fang skill again."

However, just as Yoshinobu's Floating Weasel King arrived in front of the Swampert, opened its mouth, and was about to bite down, the Swampert dodged again.

23 "Holy crap!"

At this moment, it felt as if a million alpacas were stampeding through Ji Xian's heart.

The accuracy of the Frozen Tooth is already quite high. Although it's not 100% accurate, that terrifying 95% accuracy rate is actually very impressive.

Yoshinobu originally thought that he would be able to defeat the Swampert, which was already down to 30 HP.

However, Swampert seemed to unleash its terrifying evasion rate once again, managing to dodge the Frozen Fang attack from the Floating Weasel King.

"What's wrong with you, Swamp Monster?" Ji Xian couldn't help but ask.

"Didn't I just tell you? My Swampert is quite lucky."

"You're the one who's talking! I feel like you're more like, oh no, you're a Psyduck."

"How did I become a Psyduck?" Yoshino asked, looking puzzled.

"Because Psyduck has a Psychic-type ability called Instant Amnesia."

166. Ji Xian was furious, and Li Huowang wanted to switch out his Pokémon.

"Instant amnesia?"

Hearing Li Huowang's words, Ji Xian became even more puzzled.

Looking at Ji Xian, whose eyes were filled with confusion, Li Huowang teased, "Your Nose Gym is supposed to be a Water-type Gym, and you're the Gym Leader, yet you don't even know what a Water-type Pokémon like Psyduck is?"

"In my opinion, your water-type gym isn't any good either."

"Don't talk nonsense."

When Ji Xian heard Li Huowang mocking even his Nose Dojo, he instantly became angry.

Ji Xian's face turned red, and the veins on his neck bulged out.

"You can insult me, Yoshinobu, but you can't insult my Nose Dojo."

"Alright, then I won't insult your Nose Dojo, but your amnesia is even worse than Psyduck's."

Ji Xian only realized what was happening after Li Huowang said those words.

In fact, Li Huowang was using Psyduck's instant amnesia, a psychic-type ability, to mock Ji Xian.

Moreover, he doesn't even seem to be as good as a Psyduck?

Ji Xian, having regained his senses, became even angrier.

"You're the Psyduck, your whole family are Psyducks."

"Bounce!"

Li Huowang made a gesture to Ji Xian.

Although Li Huowang and Ji Xian were still arguing about Psyduck, Swampert and Floatmon on the field did not stop.

At this point, the battle between Swampert and Floatmon, two Champion-level Pokémon, had already been decided.

Because Yoshinobu had been distracted, even when his Floating Weasel King encountered a problem, Yoshinobu did not make timely adjustments to the Floating Weasel King.

Just as Ji Xian's attention returned to his Floating Weasel King, Li Huowang's Swampert had already rushed in front of Ji Xian's Floating Weasel King again and elbowed it once more.

This time, Yoshinobu's Floating Weasel King's HP had dropped to the lowest value, and it automatically returned to its Poké Ball.

"We lost again, damn it."

Ji Xian clenched his fists tightly, looking at Li Huowang but daring not to say anything more.
