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

The voice of the two-colored rose reached the ears of Li Huowang and Xiao Shun.

"Isn't it?"

After hearing the two-colored rose's answer, Xiao Shun was utterly desperate.

He had never encountered this situation before.

I originally thought that the Grass- and Poison-type dual-type Roselia could hold out against Li Huowang's Zapdos for a while.

Unexpectedly, Li Huowang's Zapdos ultimately came out on top.

"So it was a state of paralysis?"

Li Huowang curled his lips into a smile.

Now that Xiao Shun's two-colored rose is paralyzed, things will be much easier.

Li Huowang stopped commanding Zapdos and let it do whatever it wanted.

Zapdos did not disappoint Li Huowang. It rushed to the front of Roserade and automatically released the Electric-type move Thunder.

Several dark clouds gathered above the two-colored rose, and soon after, several bolts of lightning struck the two-colored rose on Xiao Shun's field.

Because Roserade was paralyzed, even if Shun tried to command his Roserade to dodge Zapdos's attack, it was to no avail.

The two-colored rose's blood volume suddenly decreased.

184. Zapdos instantly defeats Owl Penguin; Zapdos levels up during the battle.

A short while later, Xiao Shun's two-colored rose, like the previous ponytail, was automatically captured by the Poké Ball.

However, Xiao Shun has completely gotten used to it by now.

After Ponyta and Roselia were defeated by Zapdos, he knew that even if his remaining Owl Penguin managed to take down Zapdos by a little bit, it would be an extremely difficult task.

With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Shun reluctantly took out his last Poké Ball.

"Shall we continue the competition?" Li Huowang glanced at Xiao Shun with great interest.

Seeing Xiao Shun's sickly appearance, he knew that Xiao Shun "840" definitely didn't have much hope for his only remaining Pokémon.

If Xiao Shun could concede defeat under these circumstances, it would be acceptable to Li Huowang.

This way, he could continue into the Great Wetlands to catch up with the lurking Team Galactic member.

Xiao Shun looked up at Li Huowang and said, "Since I have already challenged you, I think I should still insist on finishing the match. Even if I lose in the end, I will lose the match with dignity, and there is nothing shameful about it."

"Ok."

Then, the Poké Ball that Xiao Shun threw out emitted a dazzling light, and an Owl Penguin appeared on Xiao Shun's field.

"Owl penguin?"

After seeing Xiao Shun's last Pokémon, Li Huowang understood why Xiao Shun had been so dejected and had given up hope for the upcoming match.

Owl Penguin is a water-type Pokémon, and it was completely countered by Li Huowang's Zapdos.

"Zetzart, hurry up and finish off that owl penguin," Li Huowang said to Zapdos.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Huowang's Zapdos began to gather energy on the spot.

"This is······"

Li Huowang was stunned when he saw this.

Judging from the energy Zapdos is gathering, it seems that what Zapdos is using right now is an Electric-type move.

However, in Li Huowang's memory, when he caught Zapdos, Zapdos only had two Electric-type moves: Thunder and Thunder.

If he wasn't mistaken, then this Zapdos must have leveled up during the battle just now, breaking through from level 89 to level 90.

This means that Zapdos, which he had only recently captured, already possessed the strength of a Champion-level Pokémon.

After Zapdos had gathered its remaining power, it unleashed an Electromagnetic Cannon attack on the Owl Penguin on the field.

Although the hit rate of the Electromagnetic Cannon skill is even lower than that of the Thunder skill, the owl penguin on Xiao Shun's field seems to be affected by Xiao Shun's emotions.

The owl penguin watched helplessly as Li Huowang's Zapdos unleashed an Electromagnetic Cannon attack, yet it never chose to dodge.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Zapdos's Electro Cannon struck the Penguin with remarkable effectiveness.

The owl penguin's health dropped rapidly, and it was defeated in the blink of an eye.

"I lost."

Seeing this result, which was not surprising at all, Xiao Shun breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew this would happen, but he also knew that the gap between him and Li Huowang was widening...

At first, when he heard that Li Huowang's strength had increased significantly and that he had defeated many opponents along the way, including Yoshinobu, the gym leader of Nose City's Nose Dojo, Xiao Shun was still not quite convinced.

But after these battles with Li Huowang, and after every single one of the Pokémon he sent out was instantly killed by Li Huowang, Xiao Shun finally understood how cruel reality was.

Li Huowang's strength far exceeded his expectations.

Don't be discouraged.

Li Huowang walked up to Xiaoshun and patted him on the shoulder.

"You defeated me before, which proves that you are quite capable."

Xiao Shun had prepared himself to be ridiculed by Li Huowang, but Li Huowang did not do what he expected. Instead, he said something to him.

"I've already lost to you, aren't you happy?" Xiao Shun looked at Li Huowang with a puzzled expression.

Why should I be happy?

Li Huowang said, "The two of us are not even in the same league with our 1.8 Pokémon. And I think that my Zapdos was able to defeat you this time, to a certain extent, because I used Zapdos to cheat."

Li Huowang wasn't deliberately trying to comfort Xiao Shun; he genuinely felt that way at that moment.

In fact, if Zapdos's Electric Shock move hadn't paralyzed Xiao Shun's Roselia, it's likely that Roselia would have been able to deal significant damage to his Zapdos.

Even if Zapdos ultimately defeats Roselia, that Roselia will definitely cause Zapdos a lot of trouble.

185. Xiao Shun gave Li Huowang travel expenses and continued to chase after the members of the Galaxy Team.

After realizing that he was no match for Li Huowang, Xiao Shun quickly adjusted his mindset.

"Sigh, before I challenged you, I was wondering if I could defeat you. I didn't expect you to improve so quickly, Li Huowang. It seems I overestimated myself."

"In any case, it was a very enjoyable battle."

As Xiao Shun said this, he casually took out a wad of banknotes and handed them to Li Huowang.

"What are you doing?" Li Huowang looked at Xiao Shun with some confusion.

"Before I challenged you, I had already decided that if you really defeated me, then I would give you this."

"Li Huowang, it wasn't easy for you to raise such a powerful elf. I think I should give you some travel expenses. Here's 2800 yuan in total."

"I really don't need it," Li Huowang waved his hand at Xiao Shun.

“You know my family’s financial situation. My older sister, Li Xueyi, is a researcher (03). I can’t even spend all the pocket money she gives me.”

“What your sister gave you is your sister’s. What I’m giving you represents my feelings. If you don’t accept it, I’ll be unhappy.”

After saying that, Xiao Shun gave Li Huowang a sour look.

Although Li Huowang and Xiao Shun didn't have much interaction, he only had a vague impression of each other.

But seeing Xiao Shun's appearance, Li Huowang knew that if he didn't accept the money Xiao Shun offered, Xiao Shun would probably really turn against him.

Just as Xiao Shun said, this was just a small token of his affection for himself.

Having won the challenge and even received a sum of money, why not?

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Li Huowang accepted the money from Xiao Shun.

Actually, the money Xiao Shun gave him wasn't much; it would be used up quickly enough to buy a few Poké Balls or potions to restore Pokémon's moves.

However, to save Xiao Shun's face, Li Huowang ultimately accepted it.

"Thank you, Xiao Shun. I'll keep this money to buy some snacks for my elves."

"Haha, Li Huowang, keep up the good work! You're much stronger now than before," Xiao Shun said to Li Huowang with a smile.

Li Huowang nodded slightly, "Alright, that Team Galactic member was acting so suspiciously just now, I think I should leave now."

"Ah."

Xiao Shun nodded and said, "Although I don't know what happened with that Team Galactic member just now, he didn't seem like a good person. I've taken up a little of your time, so you should hurry up and catch up with him now."

"You know, if someone runs away, they're either an elf or a villain."

Hearing Xiao Shun say that, Li Huowang stopped chatting with Xiao Shun and headed towards the wetlands.

Upon entering the wetland, what came into Li Huowang's view was a relatively dense clump of grass.

Looking at the endless expanse of grass in front of him, Li Huowang was immediately troubled.

Under normal circumstances, such an environment should contain a lot of elves.

He had encountered quite a few Pokémon here before, but catching up with that Team Galactic member was the priority right now. If he continued on this path, he might encounter a whole bunch of Pokémon blocking his way.

Perhaps after a few rounds of fighting, I won't be able to catch up with that Team Galactic member at all.

This was not the result Li Huowang had hoped for.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Li Huowang finally opened his backpack and started rummaging through it.

After searching for a while, Li Huowang found an item in his backpack: insecticide spray.

This insect spray is specifically designed for Pokémon. Once you use this insect spray, you will not encounter the more common Pokémon for a period of time.

Upon seeing the remaining bottle of insecticide spray in his backpack, Li Huowang's eyes immediately lit up.

"Luckily I bought this 840 insecticide spray, which saved me a lot of trouble afterward."

Li Huowang muttered something to himself and then ran forward at breakneck speed.

It must be said that Li Huowang's insecticide spray is quite effective.

Although it was his first time using this item, he didn't encounter any mindless sprites that jumped in front of him along the way.

This was enough for Li Huowang.

After successfully crossing the endless expanse of grass, Li Huowang followed the path ahead and arrived at a beach.

Just as Li Huowang was hesitating whether to release Zapdos to help find the Team Galactic member from earlier, he saw that the Team Galactic member standing on the beach.

"Still here?"

Li Huowang curled his lips and then walked towards the member of Team Galactic.

Soon, Li Huowang tiptoed to the side of the Galactic Team member.

186. Upon encountering the Team Galactic members again, Li Huowang relentlessly pursued them.

Just as Li Huowang approached the Galactic Team member, he heard the member standing on the beach mutter to himself, "We're doing this to seize the power plant's energy. As long as we do as the boss says, the world our Galactic Team wants will be just around the corner."

"The one who made this is the leader of our Galactic Group. Our Galactic Group leader is truly a chemical genius."

After listening to what the Galaxy Team members said, Li Huowang couldn't help but ask them, "So what should we do next?"

"Next, all we need to do is..."

Just as the Galaxy Team member was about to continue speaking, he seemed to realize something was amiss and turned to look at Li Huowang.

When the members of Team Galactic saw Li Huowang appear in front of him, his face immediately turned cold.

"It's you again. Looks like you overheard me again."

"Why are you so annoying? It's never going to end. Didn't I warn you not to follow me anymore?"

"Hehe." Li Huowang touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Why don't you tell me about your Galactic Group's plans? Maybe I can help you out."

"I'm already exhausted from running, and you still followed me. No, I have to keep going."

After saying that, Li Huowang saw the Galaxy Team member turn and run away.

"Hey, why are you running so fast? Tell me your plan."

Li Huowang shouted as he chased after him.

Although the member of Team Galactic was running quite fast, Li Huowang's stamina was not to be underestimated, and he continued to chase after him.
