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

He was afraid that his current state would be affected by his emotions again, which would lead to him losing the next match.

Yoshihiro only has three Pokémon.

After his Gyarados and Floatzel were defeated by Li Huowang's Swampert, Ji Xian suddenly realized that he only had one Pokémon left.

In other words, if his remaining Pokémon cannot defeat all of Li Huowang's Pokémon, then he will have to hand over the Swamp Badge of the Nose Gym to Li Huowang.

"Don't be so smug, I, Ji Xian, have an even more powerful spirit."

"It's your turn, Swamp King."

A flash of light appeared, and another level 87 Swamp King appeared on Yoshinobu's field.

Although the Swamp King's level was not as high as Li Huowang's giant Swamp Monster, Ji Xian had great confidence in the Swamp King he had left.

In past battles with other Pokémon trainers, Quagsire has always been Yoshinobu's trump card.

Facing ordinary trainers who came to challenge their Nose Gym, Yoshino usually didn't even have time to send out his Quagsire before he killed the match with his powerful Gyarados and a Champion-level Zephyr.

This is precisely the source of his confidence.

Of course, occasionally a few Pokémon trainer geniuses could obtain the Swamp Badge from Ji Xian, but Ji Xian always felt that Li Huowang had not yet reached that level.

Perhaps Li Huowang's strongest monster is only a Champion-level Swampert.

Perhaps the Pokémon in the remaining Poké Balls were just there to make up the numbers and create an intimidating effect.

With that thought in mind, Ji Xian's eyes lit up again.

Although his Swamp King was of a lower level than Li Huowang's Swamp Monster, Ji Xian was bursting with confidence at this moment.

Swampert has the same attributes as Giant Swampert: Water and Ground types.

This means that Li Huowang's giant swamp monster certainly cannot cause too much damage to his swamp king.

After the two battles, Ji Xian had basically figured out the skills and moves of Li Huowang's level 90 Swamp Monster.

It's nothing more than a Fighting-type Hammer, a Rock-type Rock Slide, and a Ground-type Earthquake.

Considering that ordinary Pokémon trainers must cross a stretch of water to reach their Nose City Gym, it's worth noting.

Judging from Li Huowang's appearance, he probably only has Swampert as a companion among the water-type Pokémon.

So the last skill Swampert hasn't used yet must be Surf.

None of these could cause much damage to Swamp King.

As Ji Xian thought of this, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He glanced at Li Huowang and said quietly, "If I'm not mistaken, the last skill your Swampert has left is definitely the water-type Surf."

"Congratulations, you guessed it correctly."

"However, I won't give you any reward. Besides, I'm going to change my Pokémon this round." A sly glint flashed in Li Huowang's eyes.

167. Swamp King's misfortunes never come singly; Gengar hit its vital points three times in a row.

Hearing Li Huowang's words, Ji Xian waved his hand even more arrogantly at Li Huowang and said, "Change it if you want. I'm telling you right now, change it however you like."

In Ji Xian's eyes, Li Huowang's strongest Pokémon was nothing more than a Champion-level Swampert.

As for Li Huowang's other Poké Balls, they were probably just like some other Pokémon trainers in his Nose Gym—combining common Pokémon with little offensive power to make up the numbers.

"is it?"

When Li Huowang saw Ji Xian's disdainful look, he knew that Ji Xian must think that apart from Swampert, the rest of his Pokémon were just some trashy Pokémon.

Li Huowang curled his lips into a smile, then took out the Pokémon containing Gengar.

"Gengar, it's decided that you'll be the one to take the field this time."

When Ji Xian saw Gengar appear on Li Huowang's field, he was stunned.

Looking at Li Huowang's level 90 Gengar, Ji Xian's mouth opened slightly, but he didn't say anything.

It took Ji Xian a while to recover from his shock.

Li Huowang looked at Ji Xian and said, "I'll only exchange for this Gengar. I won't have a chance to exchange for any others, since you don't have any other Pokémon."

"Then come on."

When Ji Xian saw that Li Huowang had a Gengar with champion-level strength on the field, Ji Xian's heart sank.

However, Ji Xian suddenly thought of something and a mischievous smile reappeared on his face.

"Haha, I know, even if you switch to Gengar, you still can't beat me."

Just then, Ji Xian realized something: his Quagsire also has Ground-type moves, and Ground-type moves are perfect counters Gengar's Poison-type.

In this situation, even if his Quagsire doesn't get the first move, as long as Li Huowang's champion-level Gengar doesn't one-shot his Quagsire, he still has a chance to win.

Just then, a purple light shone on Li Huowang's Gengar once again.

Seeing this, Li Huowang felt completely at ease.

In fact, Li Huowang also knew that Gengar's Poison type was exactly countered by the Ground type Quagsire.

However, with the amplification effect of the Star God of Harmony, everything changed.

"Gengar, go and defeat this Quagsire."

Li Huowang did not command Gengar; he wanted to see just how capable Gengar was of fighting independently.

Gengar immediately rushed in front of Quagsire and activated the Dark-type move Misfortune.

Gengar slapped Jixian's Quagsire, instantly triggering a critical hit effect.

"Can this still happen?"

Yoshinobu was stunned to see the health of his Swamp King rapidly decreasing.

Ji Xian never expected that Li Huowang's Gengar would actually possess a Dark-type move.

Moreover, misfortunes never come singly, and at least two attacks can be launched in succession.

Just as Yoshino was thinking this, his Adbi Swamp King got slapped hard by Gengar.

This time, Gengar also landed a critical hit.

Although the special effect of hitting a vital point is not as outstanding as the other one, it is still a considerable amount of damage to Yoshinobu's Swamp King.

"No, the Swamp King's health must not drop any further."

Ji Xian couldn't help but pray silently.

It's unclear whether Yoshinobu's prayers to the Swamp King had an effect, or whether his Swamp King simply had higher health and defense.

After being attacked twice by Gengar, Quagsire's HP still hadn't dropped to the minimum value, and it was still standing on the field with a few drops of HP left.

Upon seeing this, Ji Xian was overjoyed.

"Haha, Li Huowang, although your champion-level Gengar seems quite rare, in my opinion, it's just so-so."

Yoshino smiled and was about to command his Quagsire to use the Ground-type move Earthquake against Gengar when Gengar suddenly slapped Quagsire again.

"Snapped!"

Swamp King took another solid slap from Gengar, hitting a vital spot once again.

But to Ji Xian, the crisp sound of the slap was incredibly loud.

It was as if Li Huowang had slapped Ji Xian in the face.

Ji Xian was stunned for a moment.

"One more attack?"

Yoshino stared blankly as Quagsire's HP dropped from 8939 to zero, then Quagsire was automatically recalled by the Poké Ball.

Ji Xian was still in a daze when Gengar returned to Li Huowang's field.

"Alright, the battle is over. Gengar, you can come back now."

Li Huowang then turned to look at Ji Xian, extended a hand to him, and said, "Alright, I have defeated you, and also defeated the other Pokémon trainers in the Nose Gym. Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise."

"promise?"

Ji Xian was completely dumbfounded. What promise?

He didn't seem to have agreed to anything with Li Huowang just now.

"It's the Swamp Badge you get after defeating your Nose Gym, Psyduck."

Li Huowang couldn't help but roll his eyes at Ji Xian.

168. Swamp Badge obtained, Sailor Nobuaki fulfills his promise.

“Here you go,” Ji Xian said. “This is the swamp badge.”

Ji Xian took out a dark green badge and tossed it to Li Huowang.

Li Huowang took the swamp badge that Ji Xian threw to him, examined it carefully, and only put it away after confirming that it was correct.

“There’s one more thing,” Ji Xian said to Li Huowang.

"Ok?"

"So, could you please stop calling me Psyduck?"

Li Huowang's constant calling of Ji Xian "Keda Duck" has almost driven Ji Xian to the brink of collapse.

He had never been insulted like this before.

So what if you're a bit forgetful? Is it really necessary to call yourself a Psyduck with the superpower of instant amnesia?

"can."

Li Huowang smiled slightly, then said, "Then I'll call you Dumb Beast."

"Humph!"

Ji Xian angrily raised his fist, but dared not say anything more.

All of his Pokémon were defeated by Li Huowang and are still inside their Poké Balls, not even fully recovered. How can he possibly fight Li Huowang?

Moreover, even if he were to personally take the field, he might not be a match for Li Huowang.

After all, Li Huowang's Gengar is a Poison-type Pokémon. If he were to accidentally get hit by Gengar's Poison Sting, even if he didn't die, he would be in pain for several days.

Unsure of the moves Li Huowang's Gengar possessed, Ji Xian ultimately dared not speak out against his anger, appearing as a complete doormat.

"gone."

Li Huowang waved to Ji Xian, then turned and left.

Ji Xian only breathed a slight sigh of relief after Li Huowang had walked away.

"Luckily, Xinming has already agreed to go to sea with Li Huowang, otherwise, I would have been driven crazy by Li Huowang."

After obtaining the Swamp Badge, Li Huowang went straight to find Sailor Nobuaki.

When Sailor Nobuaki saw Li Huowang take out the Swamp Badge, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Congratulations, Li Huowang. I knew you would be able to defeat Yoshinori, the head of our Nose Dojo. You succeeded."

"That's it."

Li Huowang pursed his lips.

"Your Nose Gym Leader Yoshino is too stingy. I told him that if I beat him, he would give me his Gyarados, but I didn't expect that Yoshino would refuse to give me his Gyarados."

"Haha."

Xinming replied with a smile, "That's right. Yoshino only has this one Gyarados, and he treats it like his precious treasure. Moreover, this Gyarados has made great contributions to Yoshino."

"Many Pokémon trainers around your age have challenged him before, but Yoshinobu won against them all thanks to his Gyarados."

After hearing Sailor Nobuaki's words, Li Huowang finally understood why Yoshinobu valued Gyarados so much.

No wonder Yoshinobu was unwilling to hand over Gyarados.

Anyway, this wasn't a big deal for Li Huowang.

All he needs right now is for the sailor Nobuaki to take him out to sea to catch Gyarados.

"It's getting late, let's head out to sea now."

Xinming patted Li Huowang on the shoulder, and Li Huowang followed him.
