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

Li Huowang wouldn't even remove some of the negative effects from the Pokémon on his field.

Thinking this to himself, Xiao Shun said to Li Huowang, "Li Huowang, don't you usually send your Pokémon to the Pokémon Center to recover after the battle?"

"Yes."

Li Huowang nodded and admitted, "I did have that idea before, because I felt that using those drugs on my own Pokémon was a huge waste of turns. With those turns, it would be better to just switch to a Pokémon that can counter the opponent's type."

"But I don't think any of the Pokémon you sent out before were ever brought to low health, were they?"

"Haha."

Li Huowang looked at Xiao Shun and said quietly, "Then it depends on what you choose next. Anyway, your little fire horse should be unable to defeat me."

"Why?" Xiao Shun asked, looking puzzled.

"Because I have a bunch of healing items that can help Darkrai defeat your little Ponyta."

Before Xiao Shun could speak, Li Huowang added, "If I remember correctly, although the Fire-type move Flame Burst is powerful, according to the rules of the Pokémon League, it can only be used five times per battle, right?"

"You just let Ponyta use it once, so your Ponyta can still unleash four more Flame Bursts. I still have a bunch of healing potions I haven't used yet. Do you want to challenge yourself to empty all the healing potions in my inventory?"

At this point, fearing that Xiao Shun might not believe him, Li Huowang opened his backpack and showed Xiao Shun the elven healing potions inside.

In addition to the most basic healing medicine, Li Huowang also possesses a large number of healing sprays and sprays that can remove various negative effects from elves.

When Xiao Shun saw the dazzling array of medicines in Li Huowang's backpack, he stared in disbelief, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Li Huowang is truly a heartless man.

After regaining his senses, Xiao Shun glared at Li Huowang and said, "Li Huowang, I think you moved all the shops from Green Edge City here, didn't you?"

"That's about right," Li Huowang replied.

"..."

Xiao Shun was speechless again.

"Alright, I haven't even made my move with this Darkrai yet."

Li Huowang had just turned his head to look at his Darkrai on the field when he saw Darkrai use a Psychic-type move on Ponyta, Dream Eater...

Just after Darkrai unleashed its Dream Eater Psychic-type move, the little Ponyta on the field suddenly woke up from its sleep.

Immediately afterwards, Ponyta's health dropped by half.

"He's down to half health in no time." Xiao Shun's lips twitched.

He knew that the legendary Pokémon that Li Huowang had trained was definitely more terrifying than the legendary Pokémon that other Pokémon trainers he had encountered had trained.

It should be noted that after his little fire horse advanced to champion-level strength, all of its stats have been comprehensively enhanced.

Especially what Xiao Shun just told Li Huowang, he focused on increasing the little fire horse's health and defense.

As a result, Li Huowang's Darkrai still managed to take away half of its health.

Xiao Shun looked at his little fire horse, which was at half health, and felt a chill run down his spine.

This is an enhanced version of the spirit.

What if Ponyta hadn't been upgraded?

Wouldn't that mean he would be instantly killed by Li Huowang's combo of hypnosis with a super 1.8 ability and dream-eating skill?

"fine."

Xiao Shun shook his head and shouted at Ponyta on the field again, "Ponyta, keep using Flame Burst!"

However, to Xiao Shun's surprise, Li Huowang's Darkrai was clearly on guard this time.

Ponyta's Flame Burst attack on Darkrai missed.

"Alright, Darkrai, use the Dark-type move, Dark Pulse."

Darkrai raised his hand and unleashed a cloud of black mist, which instantly damaged Ponyta after wrapping around it.

255. Xiao Shun changes the winning conditions, and Lahekroos enters the game.

In an instant, Ponyta could no longer withstand Darkrai's attack and collapsed on the spot. It was then automatically retracted by the light emanating from the Poké Ball.

Xiao Shun watched the whole thing unfold before his eyes, and even now, he was still somewhat dazed.

He simply couldn't understand why his little Ponyta, despite having invested heavily in health and defense, was still instantly killed by Li Huowang's Darkrai.

"Could it be that my little Ponyta has been fighting so many battles recently and hasn't had enough rest, which is why it was completely defeated by you, Darkrai?"

Looking at the Darkrai still standing on the field, Xiao Shun scratched his head in confusion.

"Have you recently sent Ponyta to battle other Pokémon trainers?" Li Huowang asked curiously.

“Yes,” Xiao Shun answered without hesitation, “Ever since I lost my battle with you in Crown Phoenix Town in 03, I’ve been improving the battle power of all my Pokémon.”

"I enhanced the stats of my Pokémon in all aspects and also raised their levels. After doing all that, in order to give these Pokémon more battle experience, I accepted challenges from Pokémon trainers I met on the roadside without hesitation."

"I bet you not only accept all challenges from Pokémon trainers, but you even actively seek them out for challenges, right?"

"Seriously? You actually guessed that?"

Xiao Shun stared blankly at Li Huowang, unsure of what to say.

Li Huowang's words struck a chord with him.

"Let me think about it. Besides actively challenging other Pokémon trainers, you also took all your Pokémon into the wild for training. You didn't hold back against any of the wild Pokémon you encountered."

At this point, Li Huowang turned to look at Xiao Shun again.

Xiao Shun's eyes were glazed over, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

"Hey. What are you spacing out for? Say something!"

Xiao Shun sighed helplessly and said, "Li Huowang, you've said everything I wanted to say. What else can I say?"

Then, Xiao Shun put away the Poké Ball containing the little Ponyta.

Actually, Li Huowang was being conservative.

Shun's champion-level Ponyta couldn't withstand the attack from his Darkrai, mainly because Darkrai had already applied the Shushin Red Mark to Ponyta the moment it entered the arena.

After Darkrai used the Normal-type Shadow Clone Jutsu, it applied three stacks of Red Mark to Ponyta. Combined with the subsequent Hypnosis and Dream Eater moves, this resulted in two more Red Marks.

In total, Xiao Shun's little Ponyta was branded with six True Red Marks by Li Huowang's Darkrai in just a few rounds.

Although Ponyta's True Red skill has not yet reached level nine, and Darkrai's True Red trait has not been strengthened, the effect of ignoring defense cannot be triggered without reaching level nine True Red Mark.

However, these six layers of the True Crimson Mark still gave Darkrai a significant attack boost, and all of them were damage exceeding a percentage.

It was precisely because of this that Li Huowang's Darkrai was able to successfully defeat Xiao Shun's Ponyta, which had only half its health remaining, with a Dark-type Dark Pulse move.

As for this matter, Li Huowang naturally wouldn't tell Xiao Shun.

"You still have five Pokémon left, aren't you going to continue fighting?"

"I would like to continue fighting, but I already know the final outcome."

Xiao Shun said, "I think we should change the terms."

"How do you want to change it?" Li Huowang asked Xiao Shun.

Darkrai possesses the powerful special effect skill of gathering the Crimson Mark, so Li Huowang is not afraid of Xiao Shun at all.

Moreover, he wasn't worried about losing to Xiao Shun.

Xiao Shun thought for a moment, then looked up at Li Huowang and said, "Li Huowang, how about this, 903? I'll use my remaining five Pokémon. If I can defeat the Darkrai on your field, then I'll win."

"Okay." Li Huowang smiled.

Anyway, he has so many healing medicines and healing sprays, Darkrai has strong attack power and also has the control skill Hypnosis. Li Huowang felt that even if Xiao Shun's Pokémon attacked together, they might not be his match.

Of course, if Xiao Shun chooses to use his Pokémon to launch a series of attacks against Darkrai, there might still be a sliver of hope for victory.

However, Li Huowang also knew that the hope of winning was extremely slim.

"Then we have a deal."

Xiao Shun took out another Poké Ball.

He then sent in a Heracross.

When Li Huowang saw Xiao Shun's elf, he immediately frowned.

Xiao Shun grinned mischievously at Li Huowang, "Hehe, Li Huowang, you've finally fallen for my trick!"

256. Raheem, a Bug/Fighting type, counters with Darkrai's Hypnosis.

"Good grief, you deliberately set a trap for me, didn't you?"

Li 4278 Huo Wang simply doesn't believe that Xiao Shun was completely unprepared and that sending out the elf Lahecroix at this time was purely a coincidence.

After all, a Pokémon like Lahecross is very effective against Darkrai, a Dark-type Pokémon.

Even though Darkrai is a legendary Pokémon, four levels higher than Xiao Shun's Lahecross, Li Huowang felt that defeating Lahecross would still be extremely difficult without replacing Darkrai.

There is no other reason.

Lahecross is a dual-type Pokémon, being both Bug and Fighting.

Both Bug and Fighting types are very effective against Dark-type Pokémon.

In other words, Lahecross possesses skills that are all designed to counter Li Huowang's Darkrai, a legendary Pokémon.

Li Huowang knew that he couldn't change his mind now that he had agreed.

Given that his Darkrai could cause such explosive damage, it was understandable that Xiao Shun would switch to a Lahecross.

Looking at Lahcross, a champion-level player on the field, Li Huowang's mind quickly began to work.

As things stand, Li Huowang feels that if he wants to use Darkrai to defeat Xiao Shun's Lahecross, he must do one thing: completely suppress Lahecross in terms of speed.

Once you've gained the upper hand, things will be much easier from here on out.

Moreover, only if Darkrai can quickly apply the nine True Crimson Marks to Lahecross can the danger be averted.

Having figured this out, Li Huowang acted swiftly.

As soon as his Darkrai entered the field, Li Huowang immediately had Darkrai use a Psychic-type Hypnosis on Xiao Shun's Lahecross.

However, Xiao Shun's Lahecross actually managed to dodge Darkrai's hypnosis.

"No way?"

This gave Li Huowang a headache.

In Li Huowang's original plan, he would only use hypnosis, a superpower-based technique, to take the initiative and forcibly control the Rahecross on Xiao Shun's field.

Then he continued to have Darkrai unleash a series of skills, such as Shadow Clone, to continuously stack the Mark of True Red.

If the Lahecross recovers quickly, then control it again.

When Lahecross is covered with nine True Red Marks, that will be the time when his Darkrai will defeat the Lahecross of Koshun.

Unfortunately, Xiao Shun's Lahecross seemed to have exceeded Li Huowang's expectations in terms of agility.

"Li Huowang, don't forget our agreement."

"I know."

Xiao Shun then took charge of his Lahecross on the field.

Xiao Shun's Lahcross was clearly a counter to Li Huowang's Darkrai on the field.

The Lahecross immediately used a Bug-type move, Mega Horn, on Darkrai.

Seeing this, Li Huowang quickly shouted to his Darkrai on the field, "Darkrai, quickly dodge Lahecross's skill!"

Darkrai was already wary, and when it saw Rahekros, who was playing for Shun, it became even more alert than before.

Upon hearing Li Huowang's words, Darkrai immediately jumped away into the distance.

Lahecross hit nothing and then came to a stop.

Darkrai seized upon this opening in Lahecross's defenses and immediately used a psychic-type ability, Hypnosis, on him again.

Before Lahecross could react, Darkrai successfully hypnotized him, putting him into a sleep state.

"Well done, Darkrai!" Li Huowang couldn't help but cheer for Darkrai.

This Darkrai truly lives up to its legendary Pokémon status, as it is particularly adept at finding opportunities to retaliate.

"It's alright. My Lahecross is super effective against your Darkrai. Even if it falls into a dormant state, your Darkrai's Dark-type moves won't be able to do much damage to my Lahecross."
