He knows Pokémon better than me.

Although the difficulty level gradually increases with each subsequent station.

The time spent on Flame King and Flame Warrior also gradually increased, from three minutes to four and a half minutes, and then five minutes. Well, it doesn't seem like there's a particularly big difference.

Thanks to its Liberty ability, Flame Ace can easily deal with all kinds of opponents without worrying about getting bogged down in a protracted battle due to a lack of countermeasures.

As for King Yanwu, that's even simpler.

With its brute destructive power, even with elemental advantages, it can still brutally defeat enemies.

For example, the Water-attribute starter Greatsword Oni encountered in the fourth round should have been countered by Water-attribute moves.

Faced with the Greatsword Demon's continuous attacks of shell blades and waterfalls, in other arenas, the Fighter would have aimed at the ground, causing an earthquake.

However, this trick is not feasible with current metal car bodies.

"Push hard!"

So King Yanwu raised his arms and, mimicking the Iron Palm Warrior's push-palm motion, forcefully withstood his opponent's attack with his palms.
"Lightning Fist!!"

His right fist suddenly unleashed a burst of violent lightning, striking the greatsword demon face squarely, causing the latter to convulse.

"And then, Mad Volt!!"

Enwu King's entire body crackled with electricity as he charged forward, smashing through Greatsword Demon's Waterfall Cloak and sending the water-type starter Pokémon flying.

The effect is outstanding!

The single strike of Sacrifice: Frenzied Volt dealt massive damage, ending the battle instantly.

"Hehe, my Flame Warrior King isn't just all about brute force, you know~"

Douzi adjusted his hat. While he's not as versatile as Cinderace, here's a little-known fact—

Yanwu Wang can master a total of 15 types of moves!

This even includes Grass-type moves like Sunblade and Grass Knot, Water-type moves like Hot Water, and Dragon-type moves like Double Slash.

"King Yanwu, bring hot water!"

"The sun's just coming out, let's use the Sunblade!!"

Above the carriage, Flame Ace watched as Flame King below occasionally sprayed out streams of scalding water, knocking over a crocodile that was scalded and howling on the ground.

Then he swung a golden-white energy blade, cleaving a toad king in two with a single strike, achieving four times the strength of the opponent's attack and killing it instantly.

"cowry"

Flame Ace immediately showed an envious look.

This skill list is so awesome!
"Hehe, don't underestimate me, Black Neil!"

After easily defeating his opponent, Douzi stepped forward and placed his hand on Yanwu King's shoulder.

Unlike Ash, who changes teams in every region, Emboar is her main force. Because of this, she has enough time to train various moves and has a deep foundation.

Currently, Yanwu King can use almost all of the racial skills he has mastered.

Douzi glanced at it; this was the sixth round, and it had taken a bit longer, about eight minutes.

The level of our opponents is also gradually improving.

As for the journey, we've already circled around the Unova region, having just set off from Twin Dragons City in the north and are speeding towards Snowflake City in the northwest.

It's coming, the final round!
The two of them finally looked serious, while the two Pokémon took the opportunity to rest.

Although each battle was resolved within ten rounds, the physical and mental exertion was still considerable.

Flame Ace was doing somewhat better, sitting on the roof of the carriage meditating with his eyes closed, his breathing steady. Flame King's breathing was heavier, and he had some wounds on his body.

The "Sacrifice" trait can enhance the power of counter-damage moves, but the counter-damage to oneself will not disappear during the process.

Immune rebound damage—that's a characteristic of a "hard-headed" brain.

Furthermore, since the power of the move is increased due to "sacrifice," the counter-damage to oneself will also increase accordingly!
In addition, King Yanwu likes to use bodybuilding techniques and then use his physical body to withstand the opponent's attacks, which accumulates even more damage.

"Henryl, eat something quickly!"

Douzi quickly took out a few pomelos from his bag, which he swallowed whole, restoring him to a healthy state.
That's enough!
After six rounds of additions, carriage number 4 was completely full, and newcomers could only squeeze into carriages 5 and even 6 to watch, with loud and intense discussions taking place.

"I recognize that boy!"

"It's Ash from the Kanto region, the champion of the last Fanba City World Championship! His strength is ridiculously high!"

"Back then, it seems they even beat the regional champion?!"

"Today I'm witnessing such an incredible battle. Damn it, why did I only get to the fifth round?!"

Ash's popularity in the Unova region is neither high nor low. After all, the competitive atmosphere in the Unova region is not as intense as in the Galar region, where the World Championship is regarded as the greatest competition.

Moreover, at the same time he won the World Championship in Fanba City, Team Plasma launched an attack, freezing half of the Unova region—

The headlines about winning the championship were all overshadowed by that regional extreme cold snap.

Now that he has changed his clothes and style, he was not recognized immediately.

Soon, the train arrived in Snowflake City on time, and the surrounding temperature dropped considerably.

As soon as the carriage doors opened, a large number of passengers rushed onto the train and lined up in carriages number seven and even eight.

Even if you can't see the scene in person, the screens on the wall are broadcasting it live.

Then, two men wearing guard coats walked onto carriage number 2 together.

The two were similar in build; one was wearing a neat brown and white striped coat and a hat of the same color, with gray sideburns showing on both sides of his face.

The other person had identical facial features and hairstyle, and wore a black and brown striped coat of the same style, but in reverse color.

However, his clothes looked tattered and old, with many holes and tears at the hem.

The subway chief, twin brothers, Nanxia and Beishang!

"Long time no see, Mr. Kitashō!"

Xiao Zhi and his companion were also in carriage number 2. Upon seeing a familiar face, they immediately smiled and went up to greet him.

Back when they were in the Xicui area, he and Beishang even lived together on Tianguan Mountain for a while.

"Long time no see, Ash."

Compared to his younger brother, Bei Shang was more aloof. He adjusted his hat and nodded in response.

"Hey, Ash and Touko, good afternoon to you two!"

Nanxia's personality is more outgoing, and she grins broadly.

He and Douzi were old acquaintances, and Xiaozhi and Nanxia's friendly smiles were even brighter!
After all, if it weren't for Ash, he might never have seen his brother again in his life.

Who knew that a missing person could disappear so far back to "ancient times"!
Xiao Zhi looked Bei Shang up and down and asked curiously:
"It seems Mr. Kitashō is in pretty good spirits. Has he remembered everything?"

Back in the modern era, Kita is still wearing the same clothes he wore out long ago in the Seishui district. Is he keeping them as a souvenir? (End of Chapter)
