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

He just tried it out of a sudden whim, and he didn't expect it to actually work.

However, wasting an electric-type lightning skill just to clear a path seems like a waste of its potential.

Normally, only Pokémon that have mastered the Iaijutsu technique can split those small trees in half.

Without giving it much thought, Li Huowang continued walking down the path.

Li Huowang's intuition told him that something useful was definitely hidden in this path.

193. Encountering the elite trainer Suzuka, the battle takes place amidst dense fog.

As expected, after walking a while, Li Huowang was about to cross a grassy area when he was once again blocked by a Pokémon trainer on the road.

"Hey you up ahead, I bet you're a Pokémon Trainer, right?"

"I am an elite trainer, and I will not be nervous regardless of victory or defeat."

"just you?"

Li Huowang glanced at the elite trainer, his face full of disdain.

"What, you don't believe me? Your attitude is far too arrogant. I know many of you Pokémon trainers think you are one in a million geniuses, but the facts prove that you are not that great."

"Let me, the elite trainer Suzuka, teach you a lesson today."

After saying that, the elite trainer took out his Poké Ball.

Li Huowang hadn't encountered such an arrogant Pokémon trainer in a long time, so he didn't bother to speak and instead turned to look at the Zapdos standing to the side.

Zapdos naturally understood Li Huowang's meaning, nodded to him, and called out to him a few times.

Elite trainer Suzuka immediately dispatched her Ponyta.

"Tch, I thought it was some kind of powerful Pokémon, but it's just a little Ponyta."

"Really? You'll regret this later."

Faced with Li Huowang's sarcasm, elite trainer Suzuka was not annoyed at all. Instead, she slightly curled her lips, looking very confident.

Li Huowang naturally wouldn't tolerate such so-called elite trainers.

However, to Li Huowang's surprise, the surrounding environment changed when his Zapdos and the elite trainer Suzuka's Ponyta entered the battle at the same time.

Li Huowang unexpectedly encountered dense fog this time.

This kind of foggy weather actually has a significant impact on Zapdos.

Due to the influence of foggy weather, many moves with a 100% hit rate may miss and fail to hit the opponent's Pokémon.

Seeing Li Huowang frown, the elite trainer Suzuka smiled even more broadly.

"Haha, you're doomed."

At this moment, the Zapdos on Li Huowang's field had already launched an attack on the elite trainer Suzuka's Ponyta.

Zapdos swooped down from the sky and used a Flying-type move, Peck, on Ponyta.

This result was similar to what Li Huowang had expected. The Flying-type move Peck missed the Elite Trainer Suzuka's Ponyta, and the move completely failed.

"It really didn't work out." Li Huowang's lips twitched.

Encountering dense fog during battle was quite unpleasant.

When Suzuka saw that her Ponyta had dodged the attack from Zapdos, she smiled happily.

"See that? I, the elite trainer Suzuka, am invincible. Even if your Zapdos is a legendary Pokémon, it will still be defeated by my little Ponyta."

"So what if we just happened to run into a foggy day? I don't know what you're so smug about." Li Huowang curled his lip.

"I know someone like you won't believe what I say, so only when I defeat you will you truly understand what pain is."

After saying that, Suzuka continued her attack on Li Huowang.

Suzuka's little Ponyta rushed up to Zapdos and kicked it directly.

Zapdos's defense isn't very high, and its health dropped by one-fifth.

···Requesting flowers·········

However, before Suzuka could be happy for long, her little Ponyta encountered other problems.

The little horse suddenly became paralyzed.

Looking at the arcs of electricity swirling around Ponyta, the elite trainer Suzuka seemed to realize something was amiss.

That's because her little Ponyta got electrocuted by Zapdos.

"No way! I only had Ponyta kick your Zapdos once, and your Zapdos was able to paralyze my Ponyta? Did you put paralysis powder on your Zapdos?"

....................

"No." Li Huowang shook his head innocently.

Zapdos is an Electric-type Pokémon, and when attacked at close range by other Pokémon, there is a certain probability that it will paralyze the opponent.

This is a very common thing.

"My Zapdos is much stronger than you think; it's a champion-level Zapdos after all," Li Huowang said quietly.

"Zetzart, attack again. That was just an accident," Li Huowang said to his Zapdos.

After receiving Li Huowang's command, Zapdos cried out to him before charging towards the Ponyta on Suzuka Field.

Zapdos launched another Flying-type Peck attack at Ponyta.

Having learned from its previous experience, Zapdos predicted Ponyta's dodge position this time. By the time Ponyta realized that Zapdos was waiting for it to dodge, it was too late to turn around and jump away.

Zapdos aimed at Ponyta's head and started pecking at it relentlessly.

The little pony's health points decreased accordingly.

194. Zapdos suffered a defeat in the first round against a Champion-level Jungle Tortoise.

Seeing his Ponyta withdraw from the battle, the smile of Suzuka, the elite trainer standing opposite Li Huowang, instantly froze.

She had originally thought that Ponyta could at least hold out for a while, and might even be able to inflict a series of damages on Li Huowang's Zapdos before losing the match.

However, Ponyta only lasted one round before being defeated and eliminated.

"Looks like this is all you're made of, little fire horse." Li Huowang shook his head in disappointment.

"You call yourself an elite trainer? Your strength is far too weak!"

After hearing Li Huowang's words, elite trainer Suzuka Yaya was speechless.

"Don't get cocky, I still have a jungle tortoise."

With that, Suzuka sent out her Jungle Tortoise, which was at the same level as Zapdos.

"A jungle tortoise with champion-level strength?"

Li Huowang couldn't help but gasp.

Perhaps this is the key to Suzuka's success as an elite trainer?

"Hehe, are you scared now?"

Seeing Li Huowang's reaction, Suzuka finally felt relieved.

Jungle Turtle is a Grass-type Pokémon, but in Li Huowang's memory, very few of the opponents he had encountered before actually considered Jungle Turtle as one of their own combatants.

Moreover, Jungle Turtles are relatively slow, but they have high defense. If they can survive the first few rounds, they can still achieve good results with Leech Seed through photosynthesis.

Even in the later stages, relying on the high-damage, high-burst skills Ultimate Drain and Leaf Storm, one can still defeat opponents.

With that thought in mind, Li Huowang looked up at Suzuka again.

A sly glint flashed quickly in Suzuka's eyes.

Upon seeing this, Li Huowang instantly understood.

If he wasn't mistaken, then Suzuka's playing style was probably similar to what he had in mind.

Li Huowang then looked up at the Zapdos on his field and said to it, "Zapdos, be careful from now on. Jungle Turtle has a lot of health and high defense."

Zapdos didn't say anything, but it called out a few times towards Torterra, as if taunting it.

"You still dare to provoke me?"

Suzuka seemed to have noticed Zapdos's disdainful expression.

"You'll see what real strength is in a moment."

As Suzuka spoke, Li Huowang's Zapdos began attacking the Jungle Tortoise.

Zapdos once again used a Flying-type move, Peck, on Torterra.

Flying-type Pokémon are generally more effective against Grass-type Pokémon. If Zapdos's Peck hits Turtle and has a significant effect, it can probably defeat Turtle within two or three rounds.

However, to Li Huowang's surprise, his Zapdos's Flying-type move Peck missed.

Upon seeing this, even Li Huowang could no longer remain calm.

The heavy fog seems to have had a significant impact on Zapdos.

The skill was dodged by Jungle Turtle again, which means that Zapdos no longer has any initiative advantage.

Even though Jungle Turtle is slow, its level is not much different from Zapdos's, so the speed difference is not particularly large.

Jungle Turtle then used a Grass-type move, Leech Seed, on Zapdos.

Several Grass-type seeds landed on Zapdos. Although they didn't cause any damage, Li Huowang knew that Zapdos was in trouble...

If it were a regular Grass-type move, Zapdos could withstand it thanks to its Flying-type attribute and the "minimal effect" effect.

However, Parasitic Seed only takes effect after several rounds, so it's likely that Suzuka, the Jungle Turtle, has other type-specific skills.

Suzuka showed no displeasure at the result; instead, she curled her lips into a smile, as if the battle was unfolding exactly as she had anticipated.

"Jungle Turtle, use skill to retract into your shell."

Upon hearing this, Suzuka's jungle tortoise immediately retreated into its shell, greatly increasing its defense.

Zapdos continued its attack on Tortoise.

Perhaps Zapdos knew that in such foggy weather, the Flying-type moves it used on Torkoal might be dodged by Torkoal, so it simply used an Electric-type move, Thunder.

"Boom."

A low rumble of thunder echoed across the sky.

A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, hitting the jungle turtle squarely.

Although the Thunder skill dealt decent damage and hit the Jungle Turtle, Li Huowang noticed that the Jungle Turtle's health wasn't reduced much.

It's still maintaining a very good green blood status.

The Thunderbolt, an electric-type move, took away less than one-fifth of the Jungle Turtle's health.

"Is this defense really that terrifying?" Li Huowang muttered to himself.

"Haha, didn't I tell you? I'm an elite trainer. Don't think that just because you beat my Ponyta, you can win the whole match." Suzuka's gaze turned fervent.

195. Jungle Turtle's defense is boosted; the Hunter Star God selects Zapdos.

Suzuka had expected that the little horse would lose the first round.

Because her real trump card is this champion-level Jungle Tortoise. Using Jungle Tortoise to launch a defensive counter-attack and a strategy of attrition is a move that Suzuka has always found effective.

After seeing the Elite Trainer Suzuka's fighting style, Li Huowang knew how to counter this Elite Trainer.

Considering that Suzuka's Jungle Turtle is as strong as his own Zapdos, if he can't figure out how to defeat Suzuka by changing Pokémon, then he'll have to take command himself.

Having figured this out, Li Huowang shouted to his Zapdos, "Zapdos, you'll follow my commands from now on."

"Zetzart, use High Speed ​​Strike."

"Moving at high speed?"

Seeing Zapdos's speed suddenly increase, Suzuka frowned instantly.

For some reason, a vague sense of foreboding rose in her heart.

With its speed further increased, Zapdos completely overwhelmed the Jungle Turtle.

Elite trainer Suzuka had also taken this into consideration; her Pokémon Torterra's biggest weakness was its speed.

Even if she uses a TM to teach Jungle Turtle Psychic-type moves, all she gets are Light Screen, Reflect, Rest, and Amnesia.
