This trainer has no moral principles

Just as he was racking his brains to think of a way to assist, he heard someone say, "Xiao Lan, use Jet Flame."

"what!"

Kidd was shocked to see that the Canghe Dragon Girl, whom he judged to be a dual-type water and dragon, spewed a blazing column of fire towards the magic machine motor. Thanks to the blessing of the sunny day, the power of the flame was even enhanced.

The Magic Motor, whose health was already very dangerous, was damaged by the restraining skill and could no longer hold on. Various parts of its body exploded, and finally fell apart in a huge explosion.

"Isn't your Pokémon a water type?" Kidd couldn't help but ask.

"Who said that water-type creatures can't spit fire?" You Zhi asked disapprovingly.

In Pokémon, Slowpoke, Gyarados, Falconry, and Palkia are all water-type Pokémon that can learn to spit fire.

Kidd remained silent. Looking at the Blue Dragon's previous performance, he thought it was a rookie Pokémon with little combat experience. He never expected that it could master the skills of the opposing lineage.

"The Magic Motor has been destroyed. Without new tokens, your 'Clan Rules' can no longer be maintained," Youzhi kindly reminded. "You can also summon a spirit with the same characteristics, or switch to a restricted spell card."

Kidd hummed and didn't respond.

He did have other restrictive spell cards and powerful elves that were no weaker than the Magic Machine Motor, but there was no point in continuing to fight. The rhythm had been controlled by the opponent, and he had no confidence in a comeback.

He is not the kind of hot-blooded trainer who can shout "never give up until the last moment" even in desperate situations. On the contrary, he has been in the underground dueling world for many years, which makes him very sensitive to changes in the battle situation. He can usually judge who will win and who will lose at a glance.

If underground duels were not always fixed and winning too much would easily lead to cheating by the bookmakers, Kidd could have become a billionaire with this intuition.

Because of this, he knew very well that if he continued the duel, he would definitely lose.

"Alas, I was hoping for a fair fight, what a shame... Fortunately, I was cautious and didn't put all my hopes on this."

Kidd smiled and immediately summoned a ritual elf named "Jera" (Dark·8 Star·Demon·Attack 2800/Defense 2300). This elf was quite powerful, but he had no intention of fighting. He just wanted to delay time and concentrate on refining spell cards.

Afterwards, the "rules of the clan" were destroyed by themselves due to the lack of sacrifices. The Machine Dragon, which had lost its greatest advantage, was burned by the Canghe Dragon Girl with flames, following in the footsteps of the Magic Machine Motor, while Jera was killed in a venting manner by the Amazon Queen who had been suppressed for a long time.

Now even the most uninitiated person could see that Kidd was doomed and the outcome of this duel was clear.

Trainers proficient in combat even noticed that Kidd had long lost his confidence in fighting and was just playing badly on the court.

For a moment, there was a loud booing in the audience, and some people simply cursed Kidd as a waste, saying that he couldn't even force out the Ultra Pokémon, making his trip in vain, which was really a disappointment.

Kidd turned a deaf ear to him, glanced at the two spell cards he had just made, and smiled as if the outcome was already decided.

"You still have one spot left, aren't you going to summon a new elf?" You Zhi reminded.

"No need. This duel was very interesting. You are very powerful. You are worthy of being a Pokémon Master who can discover new evolutionary forms. Each of your Pokémons is very well hidden. I have tried my best. There is no point in continuing the fight."

Kidd said listlessly, as if he had accepted his fate.

Hearing the praise, Canghe Dragon Girl raised her head proudly, thinking that the other party had good vision and that she could let them hold on a little longer.

You Zhi said, "Are you going to admit defeat?"

"Well, but before that, I hope to end this duel in a decent way."

Kidd slapped a spell card in his hand: "I activate 'Friendship YU-JYO', inviting the opponent to a handshake. If the opponent agrees to the handshake, the life force of the elves on the field will be divided equally."

Chapter 296: Forced Purchase and Sale

The life-splitting effect of "Friendship YU-JYO" is very powerful as long as it is used properly. For example, splitting the life of your own 1-star Pokémon with the opponent's 8-star Pokémon, or splitting the life of a dying Pokémon with the opponent's full-status Pokémon, can both play a role in turning the tide.

However, now there are only Youzhi's elves on the field. No matter how much they fiddle with it, they will all fall into the same pot. It seems meaningless to divide the vitality equally. Kidd's move seems to be just for a decent exit. Even Youzhi believes it... What a lie!

Apart from other aspects, he has always been very sensitive to the schemes of evil people. He can tell what kind of shit the other party is doing just by looking at their butt.

"There's actually a card like this in the world? You have to shake hands just to play cards. Yu-Gi-Oh, you're really good at making things up."

You Zhi looked strange, then shook his head and said, "This card of yours needs my approval before it can take effect, so I refuse to shake hands."

"No use in refusing!"

Kidd flipped over another card in his hand and said triumphantly, "'Friendship YU-JYO' adds an effect. If you show 'Unity' from your hand, your opponent must shake hands!"

"You're forcing me to buy or sell!" You Zhi said helplessly, "Why bother? Wouldn't it be better for us to just have a normal Pokémon Duel to decide the outcome?"

I just want to be an honest trainer.

Kidd sneered in his heart, why are you pretending? Do you think I don’t know that you learned martial arts in the Azure Gym?

But it doesn't matter. He doesn't intend to use physical strength to intimidate the opponent. His real reliance is a biological needle sandwiched between his palms. As long as he pricks it lightly when shaking hands, the opponent will become crazy and make random calls in the next game, as if he is high.

As long as the alliance doesn't suspect him at the first moment, he can dispose of the tools used in the crime and ensure that no evidence is found.

Even if he found it, it wouldn't matter. He never expected to become the league champion, and he had no interest in the position of the Four Heavenly Kings. His real goal was the casino. After all, no one was optimistic about him in this duel, and they believed that the gap in strength between the two sides was too great, so the odds of betting on him to win were exaggerated.

In addition, some people do not want to see Youzhi continue to win, so they offer a hefty bounty for this.

When the duel is over, he will just pack up and leave, no matter what.

Under the influence of the duel barrier, You Zhi felt a coercive force. Although he could resist, it was meaningless. If he really refused to execute it, the referee would directly declare him the loser.

Under the watchful eyes of the referee, both sides came to the center of the competition venue.

"I'm a very soft-hearted person. It's not too late for you to give up now." You Zhijin tried his best to persuade.

"Haha, what big stars say is too complicated. I, a nobody, can't understand what you are saying."

Kidd pretended to be crazy and stupid to get away with it, then offered his hand.

Alas, there is a road to heaven but you don’t take it…

You Zhi had no choice but to reach out and shake hands.

Kidd kept a smile on his face, exerted a little force with his palm, and the flesh-colored biological needle pierced out. The needle was as thin as a hair, so even if the other party felt a slight pain, they would not be able to find the wound.

Feeling that the biological needle had pierced something, Kidd thought his plan was successful and was about to withdraw his hand, but the other party held his hand tightly and would not let him withdraw it.

"What do you want to do...ah!"

You Zhi exerted a little force, squeezing the other's four fingers and making a rattling sound. Kidd's face twisted in pain, and he was about to scream, but a large amount of air was poured into his throat, and he couldn't make a sound.

"Eh, are you so enthusiastic? Do you want to continue shaking hands?" You Zhi asked himself, confused at first, then suddenly realized, "What? You want to see more of this stage and leave without any regrets?"

"Fuck you..."

Just as Kidd was about to curse, Youzhi used his clever strength to twist him, and he began to spin uncontrollably on the spot, as if he really wanted to stay in this place and wanted to engrave the scene in his mind before leaving.

At the same time, You Zhi continued to exert force, cracking the opponent's finger bones, and the biological needle penetrated into him.

Kidd was in so much pain that his tears and snot were flowing. He was not able to feel such a small pain at all. The audience who didn't know him just thought that he was unwilling to give up and was sad about his upcoming departure. They couldn't help but sigh that he was a truly dignified trainer.

After a while, the referee finally felt that the two had been holding hands for too long, and no matter how reluctant they were, there should be a result, so he stepped forward to urge them, and found that Kidd's expression was not normal.

"What happened to him? He looks..." The referee struggled to come up with an adjective, "very unforgettable."

"Now that you put it that way, it seems a little abnormal. You're too excited."

You Zhi looked as if he had just noticed something was wrong and quickly let go of his hand.

"Hahaha, I'm the Sinnoh Champion. That bullshit evil god can't scare me at all! Darko, you're just a second-rate trainer who only relies on legendary beasts. Why do you look down on me? Hahaha, kneel down and apologize. I'm the Pokémon Master, the king of the world!"

Kidd, who regained his freedom, forgot the pain in his palm. He walked unsteadily, waved his arms wildly, yelled like a drunk, and had a dull look in his eyes.

"What happened to him?"

The referee was startled and quickly hid behind You Zhi. He didn't have a powerful elf to protect himself.

You Zhi had a pensive expression and speculated, "Could it be that he ate something unclean and it's acting up now?"

“It looks quite similar.”

The referee quickly called for help and Kidd had to be restrained before the specific situation could be checked.

"Don't even think about taking my bounty. I'm the ultimate winner. Get out of here!"

Kidd, who was in a hallucination, still had spiritual power. He drew a spirit card from the void and summoned "Dead Revolver Dragon".

This Pokémon is a strengthened version of Garchomp, and its characteristics and abilities are not weak. It is Kidd's real trump card. However, without the cooperation of its trainer, it cannot exert much strength. Dragonite and Amazon Queen attack together, alternating between jets of flame and holy swords, and blow it up in less than twenty seconds.

Afterwards, the Amazon Queen stepped on Kidd to the ground, and no matter how he struggled, he could not break free. Two medical staff came forward to check him, quickly came to a conclusion, and informed the referee.

The referee had already made a guess, but now that he had the verdict from a professional, he no longer had any doubts. He also didn't doubt You Zhi. After all, the only contact between the two was that handshake, and it was Kidd who initiated the handshake. He immediately pronounced the verdict:

"Kidd has taken banned substances and is disqualified. The specific punishment will be investigated by the league. The winner of this duel is You Zhi."

Upon hearing the result, You Zhi's face didn't show much joy. Instead, he sighed and said, "Alas, a good duel was ruined like this. Can't these people have some martial ethics?"

Chapter 297 Academic Trainer

"…Testing by the league's inspection agency confirmed that Kidd Howard used banned substances during the Quartz Tournament. Given his criminal record, we will impose a harsher punishment. The following decision has been made: Kidd Howard's gym badge will be revoked, and he will be banned from participating in any league-sponsored or -participated events for life."

The day after the game ended, the league issued an official punishment for Kidd. After all, the drugs Kidd carefully selected were quick to work and easy to detect, so that he could frame the victim as soon as possible and leave him with no way to defend himself. By the time the victim found evidence to prove his innocence, the competition might have been over.

After listening to the report, Alyssa said with a hint of doubt: "I can understand athletes taking drugs to stimulate their bodies to perform beyond their normal capabilities, but what is the use of trainers taking drugs? Is it the kind that replenishes spiritual power? But seeing his reaction during the duel, it seems more like a mental drug."

You Zhi perfunctorily replied, "Maybe it's a side effect of replenishing his spiritual power, maybe he's taking a concentration drug, or maybe he was simply deceived and bought a fake product. Anyway, the only thing to understand is that this guy brought this upon himself and deserves it. Everything else is irrelevant."

Phil nodded in agreement, "That's right. As a trainer, you should use Pokémon Duels to decide the winner fairly. Any crooked tactics are wrong. He can't even manage his own body properly. He's not a qualified trainer at all. The lifetime ban is for his own good."

Alyssa warned, "This kind of person won't think it's their fault when they're punished. They'll definitely take their anger out on you, especially since he's been involved in the underground dueling world. Be careful he might go to extremes and resort to sneak attacks and assassinations."

"Alas, I hope he can show some martial virtue, otherwise there may not be a chance to show martial virtue in the future."

In a serious elf duel, Youzhi's style of behavior is very gentle, and he always tries to show mercy when possible, but when it comes to private fights, he is not polite at all.

As a trainer, he would strictly require himself to abide by the rules, but if there were no rules and it was a life-and-death fight, then he, as a trainer, would have to take action himself.

"Don't worry about him, let's look at your next opponent first."

Phil was very confident in Youzhi's ability and was not worried about his safety at all.

"My next opponent... Kaoping, this name sounds familiar," You Zhi thought for a moment, "Could it be the guy with glasses who first rejected me in the preliminaries?"

"You guessed it, I saw the game, it was him."

"At that time, he said that he was looking forward to meeting me in the main competition. I didn't expect it to come true. This is really fate. I hope he won't do anything weird again. The competition has lasted for three rounds, and I have only had one serious duel." You Zhi prayed sincerely.

Alyssa opened the file on her phone and said, "That shouldn't be the case. According to the background check provided by the agency, he's just an ordinary trainer with a clean record, no bad records, and no particularly famous achievements. He's a pure scholar-type trainer, but his talent far exceeds that of his peers. He works hard and never slacks off, which is why he has achieved what he has today."

Phil asked curiously, "What is a scholar trainer?"

Alyssa said, "They're the kind of trainers who graduate from academies, skilled in tactical coordination and familiar with all sorts of Pokémon data. Most of these trainers have the common problem of being overambitious, strong in theory but weak in actual combat. But Kaoping doesn't have that. Or rather, he's corrected those flaws through extensive dueling experience, perfectly integrating his knowledge with actual combat. His entry into the top 16 is the best proof of that."

"In other words, this person's strength is greater than his fame?"

"Well, if you underestimate him because he's unknown, you'll definitely suffer a great loss. He's good at gathering intelligence on his opponents and developing tactics to counter them. The trainers who lost to him in the first three rounds were either not strong enough or didn't have particularly strong seeded players, or their own tactics were targeted, preventing them from performing to their full potential."

“Good at collecting intelligence, isn’t that the same as you, Alyssa?”

"No, he personally went to investigate and gather intelligence, while I paid someone else to do it. There's a difference there. After all, hearing about something from someone else is completely different from seeing it with your own eyes."

As Alyssa spoke, she handed the information to Youzhi: “This is the elf and spell card that Kaoping used before.”

"Thanks."

Youzhi didn't refuse. He wasn't the kind of trainer who liked to fight with unknown opponents and feel the excitement from it.

He hadn't done that before simply because he thought it was troublesome. If someone else did it for him, he wouldn't mind knowing the opponent in advance.

"You also have to be careful of your opponent. This guy named Yishu is no less powerful than Rika. He also has the strength of a king. At most, his actual combat experience is slightly less."

With Rika as an introduction, Youzhi remembered the identities of the other Four Heavenly Kings of Johto. Two of them were from the previous generation, namely the former Fighting King Shiba and the former Poison-type Gym Leader Aju. The last one was Yishu who was good at psychic elves.

In fact, Yishu left a stronger impression on Yuzhi than Rika. After all, this guy wore a tuxedo all day long and a mask on his face similar to the one he wore at a masquerade ball, so it was hard for him not to remember him.

But in terms of strength, he is the weakest of the Four Heavenly Kings, and also the most honest one - his five Pokémon are actually all psychic-type.

"Don't worry, I won't lose before I meet that guy!"

Alyssa stared at Yuan Ying's name on the list and said firmly.

……

The day of the round of 16 competition soon arrived, and You Zhi was arranged on the first day according to the order.

Although we didn't get to see the super elves in the last game, the audience seats were still packed today.

"It was just a casual remark at first, but I never expected to meet you in the actual competition," Kaoping said excitedly as they shook hands. "I'm really looking forward to today's battle. Although you've had very few official duels, so I haven't been able to gather much intelligence, I still ask you to show me your true strength and show me some mercy."

"Ha, I'll try my best."

Both sides returned to their respective half of the field, stood still, holding their breath, waiting for the referee's order.

"Duel!" X2
