Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 496 The Troublesome Ye Ci, the General Makes His Appearance!

"Likewise, Mr. Li Xuan, your Lucario also far exceeded my expectations."

Ye Ci stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly narrowed, and suddenly commanded, "Crystal Flower, unleash the magic of Radiance!"

"Jingwu~"

The petals of the Crystal Flower remained open, and fairy energy was injected into each petal, spreading outwards in all directions without any blind spots!

Seeing this, Lucario pressed the bone clubs he was holding in both hands together, continuously pouring Aura into them, transforming them into a massive bone club that was a full eighteen feet long!
Sonorous!

Lucario plunged his bone club into the ground, and the resulting violent tremor froze the magical shimmering in front of him in mid-air, preventing it from moving an inch!

"Luca!"

A furious roar rang out from its mouth, and Lucario pulled out the bone club and swung it forward with a heavy blow!

boom! ! !
The magic flashed and split in two. Lucario, shrouded in white light, instantly traversed the narrow rift, his bone club aimed at the Crystal Flower, and stabbed at its main body!

“Jingwu…”

The Crystal Flower let out a mournful cry, clearly having been hit in a vital spot by Lucario!

Seeing this, Li Xuan ordered Lucario to unleash a flurry of attacks with its bone club: "Well done! Lucario, press your advantage!"

"Luca!"

Lucario exerted force with both arms, maximizing the energy of the ground. As the bone club swung, afterimages appeared, causing Crystal Flower to cry out in pain, yet it did not lose its ability to fight for a long time.

Upon seeing this, Li Xuan even began to doubt whether the attribute restraint system truly existed.

After taking so many moves that are four times more effective, how come your Crystal Flower still won't fall?

Fortunately, Ye Ci's crystal flower did indeed have many more wounds, and even its breathing rate had become much more rapid, clearly indicating that it had suffered considerable damage.

"A parting gift."

Seeing this, Ye Ci also chose to let the Crystal Flower make its final contribution.

"Jingwu!"

The petals of the Crystal Flower opened directly at Lucario, making it impossible for Lucario to escape the attack of this parting gift!
In an instant, a burst of Dark-type energy was injected into Lucario, causing its momentum to wane.

After releasing its parting gift, the Crystal Flower lost its fighting ability, released its petals, and collapsed to the ground.

“Luca…”

Lucario wasn't having an easy time either, as he could clearly feel a significant drop in both attack stats.

Ye Ci left Li Xuan with a difficult problem.

Faced with the Pokémon that will appear next, should you choose to replace Lucario, whose Attack and Special Attack have been greatly reduced, or should you continue to stay on the field to fight?
This is a very serious problem.

Lucario is a dual-wielding Pokémon; if one end is disabled, it can still use the other.

But right.

Lucario's attack and defense stats have been significantly reduced and will certainly not return to normal in the short term.

So, will Li Xuan choose to let the underperforming Lucario face his next unknown Pokémon, or will he let his new partner take the hit of Stealth Rock and Toxic Spikes?

"I never expected Mr. Li Xuan to actually win the first match! He truly is an amazing trainer!"

If Nemo had some doubts before, now that she has seen Lucario's first battle with the Crystal Flower, she knows that Li Xuan's strength is not bad!

There's a high probability that she's above him!

"Indeed, but Lucario is in really bad shape. It can't retreat, and it can't fight. I wonder what Chairman Yaji's next Pokémon will be..."

Aoki offered his comments from the side.

Li Xuan's fighting style possesses the vigor and vitality of youth.

But amidst this youthful energy, Aoki sensed a certain maturity.

Could it be that Li Xuan is hiding something?

Thinking of this, Aoki stared at Li Xuan, only to see the other looking at him and giving him a thumbs up.

Aoki smiled when he saw this.

This time, Chairman Ye Ci is probably going to suffer a setback.

"Brother Li Xuan, keep it up!"

Aoki encouraged him in a low voice.

Nemo, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but say, "Uncle Aoki, cheer up! Shout it out louder, like I do!"

"Mr. Li Xuan, keep it up!"

Aoki:……

Why don't you guess why I didn't speak loudly?
The person Li Xuan is fighting is his superior!
How could he dare to cheer loudly?
All I can say is, Nemo, you don't understand the adult world.

“Mr. Li Xuan, this is my second Pokémon.”

The Poké Ball landed, and an ostrich Pokémon appeared.

This ostrich resembles an Egyptian female pharaoh, with white, cloth-like feathers on its head and purple skin on its face.

Hidden within the colorful folds are terrifying superpowers; those large eyes are staring at Lucario, then nodding slightly.

Pokémon: Psychic Raptor

[Attribute: super power]

【Level: 73】

【Characteristic: Follows the trend】

[Movements: Radiant Light Surge, Feathered Perch... others omitted]

The super-powered, trend-following ostrich!
This immediately dissuaded Li Xuan from letting Lucario use variation moves such as Sword Dance and Trick.

hateful……

This is clearly forcing themselves to rotate, isn't it?

None of the Pokémon he carried were actually capable of handling so many special locations.

I can't come up with a high-speed spin move...

If it's Metagross, then there's no problem.

But Metagross's level is too low.

He's probably going to get beaten up by Super Eccentric Ostrich, who thinks he's a brat.

That's a bit ridiculous.

This is purely targeted!

"Lucario, can you still fight?"

Li Xuan had some ideas; it just depended on whether Lucario was still willing to continue fighting.

"Luca." (No problem.)
Lucario didn't take much damage; its Attack and Special Attack were significantly reduced, but the rest was fine.

"Alright. Let's continue the fight."

Li Xuan took a deep breath and shouted, "Lucario, Metal Sound!"

Since improving one's own abilities will allow the opponent to also benefit from the Psychic Rumbler's Follow-the-Trend ability, it's better to simply lower the Psychic Rumbler's Special Defense. It's not a big difference anyway.

"Luca!"

Lucario rubbed its hands together, imbued with Steel-type energy, and a harsh, metallic sound suddenly rang out, reaching the eardrums of Psychic Rumblebee. This caused its entire body to emit a low-magnification blue light, and its Special Defense to be greatly reduced!

"Super Powerful Ostrich, Radiant Light Impact".

"quack!"

Despite the unpleasant metallic sound, the Super-Powerful Ostrich's wrinkles suddenly burst into light!

The colorful superpowers gathered in front of it, turning into countless laser beams that shot out!

shhhhhh!
The laser beams were dense, and Lucario, knowing the terrifying power of this attack, immediately used the "Godspeed" move to dodge.

In an instant, the spot where Lucario had just landed became bumpy and uneven.

Numerous craters appeared as the Psychic Rumbler used its powers to search for Lucario's whereabouts, while the attack direction of "Radiant Rush" changed, surging in all directions!

"Lucario..." Even in his Godspeed state, Lucario had no way to avoid such a comprehensive attack.

At the critical moment, Li Xuan's command rang out: "Calm down and use Insight!"

"Luca!"

Lucario held his breath and focused, using his Aura to lock onto the incoming super-powerful lasers. After determining the trajectory of these lasers, he dodged the attack with minimal effort!

"Well done, now unleash the Evil Pulse!"

Swish!
Interlocking rings of dark energy, Lucario propelled them forward, piercing through countless incoming laser beams and striking the neck of the Super Raptor!
The impact of the Dark Pulse sent the Psychic Rumbleback flying backward for about ten meters. Lucario seized the opportunity to charge forward, gathering an irregular sphere in its hand and suddenly smashing it down!
Ghost-type Shadow Ball!
Boom boom! ! !

As the Shadow Ball hit, the Psychic Rumblebee flashed a blue light again, lowering its Special Defense!
Unexpectedly, Ye Ci then revealed a faint smile: "Strong mental focus!"

Suddenly, the eyes of the Psychic Rumblebee blazed brightly, and the remaining psychic powers scattered around surged wildly. Under its control, it directly bound Lucario and slammed it to the ground!

bang bang bang!
The knocking sound echoed, and Lucario was firmly controlled by the psychic power of the Psycho-Powered Raptor, unable to move!
"Lucario, come back first."

Li Xuan had no choice but to recall Lucario to avoid losing a valuable asset.

Right now, how to deal with the super-powered ostrich has become a major problem.

Ideally, it should be able to kill instantly...

Or, to deal with the poison chaff.

The Invisible Rock is fine.

The problem is the poisonous water chestnuts scattered on the ground.

The poisonous state will cause more and more damage over time. If Super Ebony stalls for time, it is very likely that it will be the one who falls first.

hiss……

Got it!

Li Xuan suddenly thought of a solution, but it was the first time he had tried it, so he couldn't tell if it would work.

"It seems that you already have a solution, Mr. Li Xuan."

Ye Ci smiled faintly, his tone neither calm nor indifferent, as if he were stating the matter in the third person.

"It's just a concept. Whether it can be realized depends on whether my partner can execute the plan perfectly."

At this point, Li Xuan took out a Poké Ball and threw it into the air: "Gallade! Misty Terrain!"

[Mist Terrain: For a limited time, Pokémon on the ground will not be susceptible to status conditions. Dragon-type moves will also deal half damage.]

"Elu!"

Gallade appeared in mid-air, and the moment it appeared, rocks that had merged with the air emerged and attacked it simultaneously!

boom!
Amidst the raging smoke and dust from the explosion, a glimmer of pink light stood out brilliantly!
A thin layer of mist exploded on the ground, making the playground appear as if it were covered by a hazy filter, obscuring everything on the field.

Release successful in misty conditions!
Ye Ci seized the opportunity to say, "The light of the crystal surges."

"quack!"

The wrinkles on the Super-Powerful Ostrich's body shone brightly once again, and countless super-powerful lasers shot out!

Gallade landed steadily, but hundreds of lasers flashed in front of her, striking her simultaneously and creating deep grooves in the solid ground...

“Ailu…”

Gallade was not in good shape after taking this hit.

Nemo, watching from the sidelines, was sweating bullets: "Chairman Ye Ci deliberately had Gallade release Misty Terrain, taking advantage of the moment when it couldn't even use Teleport, to have Psychic Rumbler deal a heavy blow to it!"

"More importantly, the additional effect of Glareblast is that it can greatly reduce a Pokémon's Special Defense. Judging from Gallade's Special Defense now, it is probably not enough to withstand too many moves."

Aoki added, his entire focus on the battle before him, fearing that Li Xuan would really be captured by Ye Ci and forced into hard labor.

Brother Li Xuan, you absolutely have to win!

"Gallade, use Teleport to get close to Psychic Rumble!"

Inside the arena, Li Xuan did not lose his composure despite the impact of the Radiant Light attack.

He remained calm and composed, directing Gallade to attack.

Gallade's body was blurred, and it could no longer be seen in the vision of the Psychic Rumbler.

"Use your psychic powers to sense where Gallade lands and unleash a Psychic Blast on it!"

Yeci is also an experienced trainer of Psychic-type Pokémon and knows how to counter the Teleport move.

We must use superpowers to fight superpowers!

"quack!"

With a flick of its neck, the Psychic-Powered Rumblebee unleashed a barrage of psychic projectiles, aiming them at the location of the approaching Gallade and unleashing a full-scale barrage!

bang bang bang! ! !
Amidst the flying sand and stones, a bright, dark blade swept in!

The stray bullets formed by the mental shock were shattered by this blade of light. Gallade broke through the smoke, its elbow blade leaving a long trail, and directly slashed at the neck of the Psychic Rumblebee!

Dark-type attacks strike vital points!
"quack……"

The Super-Powerful Ostrich was hit in a vital spot, causing its entire body to sway a few times.

It staggered, contemplating a counterattack.

Unexpectedly, Gallade's second slash struck it squarely on the head!

Swish swish!
Amidst the flashing blades, Gallade's fierce slashes gave Psychic Rumble no chance to retaliate, relentlessly slicing its body with sneak attacks on vital points!

In the blink of an eye, countless wounds appeared on the Super Powerful Ostrich's body, leaving only its big eyes revealing a fierce look!

"Super-Powered Ostrich, Magic Shines!"

"quack!"

Super Powerful Ostrich had been hiding all along, just waiting for this one strike!
Just as Gallade unleashed another sneak attack on a vital spot, Psychic Rumble released Magic Flash.

Under the intense pink light, Gallade was covered in scorch marks and knelt on the ground.

Super-Powered Ostrich collapsed after unleashing its final attack.

"Phew...finally got it..."

Li Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

This super-powerful ostrich is much more troublesome than the crystal flower.

And now, only one Pokémon is left...

Perhaps he is only a general or a servant general?

Its special ability increases the attack power of the Servant General...

Furthermore, it can also undergo crystallization.

Her Servant General's Crystal type is Flying, and her Gallade doesn't have any type advantage.

"Phew... Chairman Yeci, it's time for the final match."

Li Xuan exhaled and looked at Ye Ci, who was still standing straight on the opposite side of the field.

"indeed."

Ye Ci nodded slightly, recalled the Psychic Queen, and then sent out his ace Pokémon.

It was a Pokémon that looked like it was wearing a suit of armor.

It has sharp eyes, two black blades on its face resembling a mustache, and a huge knife on its head.

It was as if a black and white belt was hanging around its waist, with two sharp blades extending out to the left and right. When its hair grew long enough to hang down, it was able to sit on top of it.

Pokémon: Serpents

[Attribute: Dark, Steel]

【Level: 75】

[Characteristic: General]

[Movements: Servant Blade, Surprise Attack... others omitted.]

“Mr. Li Xuan, this is my ace Pokémon, Pokémon General.”
