Pokémon: Master System.

"Lizard King, use the Seed of Trouble on yourself!"

Xia Yu's voice rang out. Using the Trouble Seed on oneself was impossible in the game, but it was possible in reality.

Sceptile suddenly threw Trouble Seed at itself, and the effect kicked in, changing its ability from Lightning Rod to Insomnia. Gardevoir's Hypnosis spell thus lost its effect.

Mega Sceptile's evolved ability is Lightning Rod. Given that Mega Sceptile already has four times the resistance to electricity, this ability is actually quite weak. It would be better to use Trouble Seed to change the ability to Insomnia.

"Xia Yu reacted quickly. Faced with Gardevoir's hypnosis, he decisively had Sceptile cast Trouble Seed on him, thus neutralizing Gardevoir's hypnosis and Dream Eater combo."

"I have to say, the pace of the battle between the two sides is just too fast."

"From Charizard using Nasty Plot to greatly increase its Special Attack, to Dragonite using Dragon Tail to forcibly replace Charizard in the battle."

"Then, we'll use Gardevoir to defend against Dragon Pulse."

"And just a few minutes have passed since Sceptile used Trouble Seed to neutralize Gardevoir's hypnosis."

"In those few short minutes, Xia Yu and Su Muzi countered each move, presenting everyone with a closely matched battle."

…………

Upon hearing Xia Yu's command, Su Muzi dispelled Gardevoir's hypnosis. A smile appeared on her face. Xia Yu's ability to reach the finals was not only due to his Mega Evolution power, but also to his exceptional trainer skills; his on-the-spot reaction ability far surpassed that of many others.

Since hypnosis isn't working, let's try a different tactic.

"Gardedor, the power of the moon."

Gardevoir raised its hands, and a burst of Fairy-type energy erupted. The pink Fairy-type energy shone like the moon and flew towards Sceptile.

"Sceptile, use Agility to dodge!" Faced with Gardevoir's attack, Xia Yu could only have Sceptile use Agility to dodge.

With Gardevoir's high Special Attack, if Sceptile were to take a hit from Luna Power, it would be severely injured immediately.

Sceptile charged forward at high speed, closing in on Gardevoir.

"Leaf Blade!"

"Teleport."

Sceptile's blades crossed on its wrists and flashed by, but Gardevoir's body flashed and it was already in the distance in the blink of an eye. Sceptile's blades ultimately only cut through a wisp of air.

Shameless! How can there be such a broken ability as teleportation? Ban it, ban it, this skill must be banned.

"Lizard King, use Leaf Storm!"

Seeing that precise strikes were ineffective, Xia Yu made a ruthless decision and ordered the Lizard King to unleash a barrage of fire.

A fierce wind howled, and emerald green grass-based energy directly covered the entire area.

"Protect, Gardevoir!"

An endless storm of leaves swept across the field. Faced with the powerful attack of the Lizard King, Gardevoir immediately chose to use its Protect move.

The light shield rose up, blocking the storm of flying leaves.

The lush green leaves blocked Gardevoir's view, and at that moment, Sceptile seized the opportunity to close in.

"Now's the time! Lizard King, use Iron Tail!"

Xia Yu's face was filled with a confident smile. Although Gardevoir is a high-speed special attacker, its weakness is also very obvious, which is its extremely low defense.

With its massive size and thick tail, Sceptile's Iron Tail attack has a very high chance of winning the match if it hits Gardevoir.

This Iron Tail move was Xia Yu's secret method for countering Fairy-type moves. The Lizard King's huge tail was wrapped in Steel-type energy, and its body suddenly spun and generated power, activating the Iron Tail move.

Lizard King's Leaf Storm was just a decoy; Iron Tail was the real killer move!

Irontail, like a whip, lashed out fiercely at Gardevoir with a whooshing sound!

"It seems that Iron Tail is Xia Yu's secret weapon."

"Gardedoll's defense is not enough to withstand Mega Sceptile's full-power Iron Tail."

"The two are too close. Gardevoir might not have time to use Instant Transmission before being hit by Iron Tail."

…………

Just as the host explained, at such close range, it would be too late to use teleportation again, but Su Muzi reacted quickly.

Faced with the immediate crisis, Su Muzi's voice rang out.

"Gardevoir, use Destiny Bond!"

Gardevoir was enveloped in a strange Ghost-type energy, quickly linking itself to Mega Sceptile.

In an instant, Sceptile's massive, whip-like tail struck Gardevoir, its sharp spikes piercing the creature and sending it flying off the field, where it collapsed and couldn't get up.

The Destiny Bond move also took effect at this moment. Countless Ghost-type energies enveloped the Sceptile King's body, draining it of all its stamina. It collapsed to the ground, also losing its ability to fight.

"boom!"

Mega Evolution is deactivated, and Sceptile lies motionless on the ground.

"Gardedor has lost its ability to battle."

"The Lizard King has lost its ability to fight."

"Please have both sides switch out their Pokémon."

…………

Seeing the scene before him, Xia Yu was so angry that his mouth almost twisted out of shape.

How could there be such a disgusting skill as Fate Bond? How could anyone let Gardevoir learn the Fate Bond skill?

How insidious.

In fact, Xia Yu had noticed that Su Mu Zi Shana Duo had the skill "Shared Fate" a long time ago, but the key was that even if he knew it, there was nothing he could do; he couldn't defend against it.

Sceptile wouldn't provoke this move, and at such close range, Sceptile couldn't dodge Gardevoir's Destiny Bond move.

unfair! unfair!

Su Muzi's tactics were so insidious, yet Xia Yu felt a strange sense of familiarity about them.

…………

Chapter 302 The First Battle of Duolongqi!

After Gardevoir traded one for one with its Destiny Bond move, the match between Xia Yu and Su Muzi changed from a 3v3 to a 2v2.

"Please both sides substitute your Pokémon!"

Listening to the host's voice, Xia Yu's face showed a thoughtful expression.

Su Muzi currently has two Pokémon left, one of which is a powerful Dragonite that has already appeared in the game.

The other one is currently unknown, but it is definitely a Fairy-type Pokémon and cannot possibly be Milotic.

To gain the upper hand, Xia Yu must pit Charizard against Su Muzi's last Fairy-type Pokémon, using the Fire-type Charizard to counter the Fairy type and secure the advantage.

Otherwise, if Noivern were to face Su Muzi's Fairy-type Pokémon with its current strength, it would most likely not be able to win.

However, if Xia Yu does this, he will face a new problem.

So who will battle Dragonite? Noivern?

Given Noivern's current strength, the possibility of it defeating Dragonite is extremely slim.

Unless Noivern activates Crystallize and learns the Sonic Blast move, it has absolutely no chance against Dragonite.

However, the ability to crystallize cannot be revealed yet, and the Sonic Wave, as the strongest skill of Sonic Dragon, normally requires the strength of an Elite Four member to learn.

Even though Xia Yu's Noivern has high potential, it still needs at least the strength of a Gym Leader to learn Burst Wave.

Therefore, Xia Yu now has only one choice: to send out his true ace, Doronchi!

Dragapult has always been the strongest Pokémon in Xia Yu's collection, far surpassing all other Pokémon.

While other Pokémon were only at the Lord or Totem level, it had already broken through to the Gym Leader level with the core energy of the Judgment Pot and the blessing of the Dragon Scale, and was only one step away from the Elite Four level!

Of course, this is just on paper. On paper, Dragapult is definitely the strongest Pokémon among Xia Yu's many Pokémon except for Iron Warrior. What it lacks is a deep move pool and practical experience.

However, recently, through special training and TM, Draco has acquired a large number of useful skills, making up for its skill deficiencies, and is now ready to fight at any time.

Even so, Xia Yu never sent Dragapult into battle even once. The main reason for this was that his Dragapult was extremely rare, a one-of-a-kind shiny pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

With near-Master level aptitude, plus being a Shiny Pokémon and a near-Legendary Pokémon, Xia Yu's Dragapult's value has skyrocketed. In the entire country of China, and even the world, its aptitude is absolutely top-tier.

So even though Draco Messia has evolved into Draco Messia for quite some time, Xia Yu has never let Draco Messia battle once.

This is also Xia Yu's style: cautious and steady, seeking victory through stability. He has always carefully hidden Duolongqi, just like the principle of not flaunting wealth.

However, Xia Yu felt it was time for his Doronki to make his appearance today.

Xia Yu raised his head, a confident smile on his face. His gaze swept across the entire arena, looking at the more than 100,000 spectators, listening to their desperate shouts and cheers.

He is now not only the most talented Pokémon professor in the entire country, but also has a powerful Pokémon like Iron Warrior, and he has the support of a group of champions such as Long Fan, Xiao Wanyu, and Chi Lao.

What are you still afraid of and timid about?

Duolong will appear before everyone sooner or later, so why not show it off openly? The stage right in front of us is the best one.

The purpose of lying low is to make a name for oneself later, not to remain unknown forever.

Now that his wings have grown strong enough, Xia Yu knows it's time to show his talent and soar high.
