Pokémon: Master System.

Xia Yu's next opponent is He Zhizhou, who is also one of the favorites to win the Xishu Province championship in this year's College Cup.

He is incredibly powerful; all his Pokémon are at least at the Totem level, including a Gym Leader-level Gigantamax.

This Pokémon is also He Zhizhou's ace Pokémon. It is extremely powerful and has never lost a single battle in which it appears. With the combination of Salt and Regenerator, it can be said to have won easily all the way.

Because of He Zhizhou's strong abilities, it is widely believed that the champion of this year's Xishu Province University Cup will be either Li Shiyu or He Zhizhou.

Even though Xia Yu made it to the semifinals, there was still a significant gap in skill compared to the two players mentioned above.

Looking through He Zhizhou's information, Xia Yu scratched his head, realizing this might be the toughest match he'd faced since the start of the tournament.

He Zhizhou's strength lies not only in the single Pokémon Salt Giant, but also in the comprehensiveness of his Pokémon roaming.

Each Pokémon, such as Sylveon, Dolphin, Beetle, and Arcanine, is very powerful, and the large number of Pokémon also means a wide variety of tactical combinations.

How can we defeat He Zhizhou?

Chapter 246 The Terrifying Roger

The battle at the foot of Tianlin Mountain echoed throughout the entire mountain range.

Ye Jing and Roger were fighting with all their might. They used almost all of their Pokémon, and neither side held back at all.

"Roger!" Ye Jing glanced at Roger with apprehension. He hadn't expected Roger, who dressed simply and had honestly guarded the wilderness area for many years, to be so powerful: "This is the end. You can't stop me."

Roger's gaze fell on Ye Jing. He remained silent, completely ignoring Ye Jing's words. With a wave of his hand, he directly commanded the Charizard beside him to attack again: "Charizard, Burst Burn!"

"Roar."

Roger's Charizard roared, and its fire-type energy erupted almost like tangible flames.

Both used the Burst Burn skill, but Roger's Charizard was far more powerful than Xia Yu's. Its Burst Burn almost set the entire sky ablaze, turning the azure sky orange-red – this was truly a fiery cloud.

The fiery clouds surged toward Ye Jing's last ace Pokémon, Glaceon.

"Glaceon, Blizzard!"

The wind howled, the blizzard raged, and the snow, as heavy as goose feathers, swept in and collided with the exploding flames.

It should be Tianxian who was drunk and smashed Baiyun to pieces.

Snowflakes fell from the sky like shredded paper.

"boom!"

With a loud roar, thick smoke billowed into the sky, and Ye Jing's Ice Eevee lay unconscious on the ground.

He hadn't expected that his Glaceon would be no match for Charizard.

Ye Jing was truly panicked at this moment. He hadn't expected Roger to be so terrifyingly strong. With Roger's strength, if he participated in the next Heavenly King Ranking Tournament, he would have a real chance to challenge for the title of one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Why would someone as strong as Roger choose to guard the desolate wilderness, only to have himself run into it?

"Corviknight, run!" Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Ye Jing quickly climbed onto Corviknight's back, recalled Glaceon, and immediately commanded Corviknight to leave. Just then, an orange-red figure rushed out from the billowing black smoke.

"Charge Flame Attack!"

Roger's Charizard emerged from the smoke, its single remaining eye staring at Corviknight like a predatory beast. Its body was enveloped in flames, and it slammed headfirst into Corviknight, bringing it to a complete stop.

Ye Jing, who was riding on the Steel-Armored Raven, also felt the enormous impact; he almost had his bones broken by the collision.

Ye Jing felt a sudden dizziness, and when he came to his senses, he was already falling into the snow with the Steel-Armored Raven.

At the same time, flames were gathering in the Charizard's mouth, preparing to unleash its final burst of flames.

"Stop! I surrender!"

Being killed or surrendering was not a difficult choice. Faced with the threat of death, Ye Jing chose to surrender without hesitation.

Seeing Ye Jing surrender, the other poachers who were watching also tried to escape. However, just as one poacher got on his flying Pokémon and before he could take off, a jet of flame struck him and the Pokémon beneath him with perfect accuracy.

"what!"

The poacher, engulfed in flames, let out a painful howl. His entire body was engulfed in flames, and the searing pain caused him to lose his balance, falling directly off the Pokémon onto the snow. He was already beyond dead, and had suffered immense pain before his death.

The Pokémon beneath him also couldn't withstand the Charizard's attack and collapsed in the snow, lifeless.

Seeing their dead companions, the other poachers dared not make any rash moves; no one wanted to die in the flames.

"If you insist on escaping, I have the right to kill you on the spot." Roger's eyes flashed with undisguised killing intent as he warned the other poachers who wanted to leave. Having dealt with poachers for so many years, he understood their greed and cruelty better than anyone else, and there was absolutely no room for mercy towards them!

Seeing that no one dared to run away, Roger walked up to Ye Jing, took the wine flask from his waist, and took a big gulp: "I told you you're no match for me. Throw all your Poké Balls at me, and don't try any tricks."

Hearing Roger's words, Ye Jing was already deflated. All his Pokémon were now severely injured, so it didn't really matter whether he handed them over to Roger or not.

If his double-explosive gas hadn't self-destructed, he might have actually been able to put up a fight. Even if he couldn't defeat Roger, he could have escaped without any problem by using the double-explosive gas to self-destruct.

Ye Jing thought to himself.

"Roger, let me go. I promise to give you a large sum of money when we get back." Ye Jing kept tempting Roger, "I can also recommend you to join the Dawn Society. With your strength, once you join, I guarantee you will at least become the vice president of the Dawn Society. Staying here is just burying your talent."

"Are you done talking? If you are, then shut your mouth." Roger looked at Ye Jing calmly, unmoved, with a mocking expression on his face: "You think you can bribe me with this little bit? I'd rather be the captain of my own company."

…………

Roger spent some time tying all the poachers' hands together with a rope and then led them on their way back.

Walking in the snow, Roger led the poachers through the snow, leaving footprints of varying depths.

“Roger.” Ye Jing looked at Roger, still unwilling to give up. If Roger were to capture him like this, only the death penalty would await him: “I will use a secret to buy my life.”

Hearing Ye Jing's words, Roger smiled and completely ignored Ye Jing. He turned to look at Ye Jing and said, "Stop talking. Aren't you tired? You'll have plenty to say when you're locked up and interrogated later."

"Luo..."

"Roar!"

Ye Jing's voice was interrupted by a huge roar. This huge roar came with a biting cold wind, and the frost mixed in with the sound waves cut the cheeks of everyone and spread outwards.

"It's here, that guy's here! Run, Roger, run! You're no match for him! Let me go, let me leave!" A hint of fear flashed in Ye Jing's eyes. He hadn't expected that the Pokémon in the cave would actually chase after him.

The other poachers around them also felt a chill; they had witnessed their companions die beside them and knew better than anyone the terror of these Pokémon.

Suddenly, a malevolent gaze fell upon them, and the threat of death filled their hearts, making everyone tremble.

Roger looked serious and warily surveyed the forest. The one-eyed fire-breathing dragon beside him also looked solemn, as it too felt a terrifying pressure permeating the forest.

A powerful Pokémon is nearby.

"Roger, let me go! Get out of here!" Ye Jing, standing behind him, was extremely anxious. He had personally experienced just how powerful this unknown divine beast was. Not to mention Roger, even the Four Heavenly Kings would likely be no match for it: "You are definitely no match for it!"

"Shut up," Roger snapped at Ye Jing.

Suddenly, ice energy erupted and spread instantly, freezing the last few poachers before they could react.

Chapter 247 The Legendary Ancient Sword Leopard

A terrifying chill swept across the land, the sky gradually darkened, and a biting cold seeped into everyone's heart. The snow, falling like goose feathers, grew heavier and heavier.

A suffocating, oppressive, tense, and panicked atmosphere was spreading. Everyone held their breath, and fine beads of sweat kept seeping from their foreheads. The poachers looked around nervously, uneasy and fearful.

The fear of death lingered in my mind, refusing to leave.

"Goo."

Ye Jing swallowed hard. He could clearly feel the oppressive feeling from the depths of his soul, as well as the deep malice. But until now, he hadn't even seen what the Pokémon that attacked them looked like, which terrified him. After all, the fear of the unknown is the most terrifying.

What's even more terrifying is that they know the unknown Pokémon is all around them, ready to attack and kill them at any moment, but they have absolutely no way to stop it.

"Roger, release us right now and give us back our Pokémon. We'll split up and escape, and we can at least distract you. Otherwise, we'll be trapped like this." Ye Jing was genuinely terrified. He didn't want to die; he wanted to live.

Roger completely ignored Ye Jing. One was a thief, and the other was a patrol team member. How could he possibly let Ye Jing go? Even if he killed Ye Jing, he couldn't let him go.

As visibility worsened, Roger ignored Ye Jing's anger and cautiously observed his surroundings. He knew that the unknown Pokémon was nearby, toying with everyone like a hunter, enjoying the cat-and-mouse game.

…………

"Roar!"

The fearful atmosphere lasted for several breaths before a huge roar finally broke the panic.

Before anyone knew it, a snow-white figure, taking advantage of the cover of the heavy snow, darted through the snow and pounced on the poachers.

It was a giant leopard Pokémon, three meters tall and nearly seven meters long. It walked lightly on the snow without making a sound.

Its appearance is like a magnified version of a snow leopard and a saber-toothed tiger combined. Its two teeth are made up of huge broken swords, which exude a chilling aura and the hatred of wronged souls. At the same time, there are light blue rhomboid objects all over its body, which look like sparkling ice crystals.

"Ancient Sword Leopard?!"

Roger was startled when he saw the Ancient Leopard, but he quickly calmed down. There were legends about the Ancient Leopard in Tianlin Mountain, and he already knew a lot about the appearance of this legendary Pokémon. Naturally, he recognized it at a glance as the disaster Pokémon in the ancient book, the disaster Pokémon that represents avalanches.

Roger also sensed the powerful aura emanating from the Ancient Leopard opposite him. Its strength far exceeded that of Roger's Pokémon, and once they clashed, he would have absolutely no chance of winning.

The only thing I can do is try my best to save my life.

"Roar!"

The Ancient Sword Leopard opened its massive jaws and let out a tremendous roar. The huge sound wave, mixed with ice energy, spewed outwards like a frost roar, forming ice spikes that shot out and pierced into the bodies of the poachers.

"Charizard, big words bursting with flames!"

With just a roar, it was as if a powerful area-of-effect attack had been unleashed, forcing Roger to rely on Charizard to defend against it.
