Pokémon: Master System.

It can be used for both defense and offense.

However, as the previous champion, Tao Su reacted very quickly, and she thought of a way to deal with it in an instant.

"Tokiss, Avatar!"

Psychic energy emanated from Togekiss. As a Fairy/Flying-type Pokémon, Togekiss can learn a significant number of Psychic-type moves.

Togekiss's eyes gleamed with a sinister purple light, like burning purple flames, and the psychic energy within his body surged forth.

As a champion-level Pokémon, Peach Crisp's Togekiss is quite extraordinary. Its most unique feature compared to a regular Togekiss is its powerful psychic ability.

At this moment, the psychic power surging from Togekiss was even stronger than that of a typical Psychic-type Pokémon. It surged towards the giant rock floating in the air like a tidal wave, and began to vie for control with Sceptile.

Xia Yu looked at the scene before him, his gaze sweeping over the Lizard King. It was not hard to tell from the Lizard King's expression that it was slightly at a disadvantage in this contest.

"Lizard King, Thunder Fist!"

Xia Yu was also extremely decisive at this moment. He directly told the Lizard King to give up controlling the boulder. Instead, he took advantage of this opportunity and used his speed to exert force with his feet and stomp hard.

The massive body leaped high into the air, swinging its lightning-infused fists towards Togekiss.

"Amazing power! Togekiss, block the attack with a stone."

Hearing Peach Crisp's command, Togekiss manipulated the giant rock to block the Lizard King's full-force attack.

"boom!"

Rocks flew everywhere as the Lizard King's full-force attack shattered the boulder.

However, at this moment, Tokkiss, who was behind the boulder, suddenly disappeared!

Missing? !

Xia Yu and the Lizard King both showed surprised expressions. They looked up abruptly and saw that Togekiss had flown high into the sky, close to the dome, and its Flying-type energy had been accumulating for a long time.

"Togekiss, Air Slash!"

A fierce wind howled as a slash brimming with flying-type energy hurtled towards the Lizard King.

"Lizard King, get out of the way!"

Xia Yu's voice rang out. The distance between the Lizard King and Togekiss was quite far, and it was entirely possible to use its speed advantage to dodge the air slash.

Just then, the Lizard King activated, with faint arcs of electricity flashing across its body. Due to the effects of its current state, the Lizard King's body stiffened, and it froze in place.

Although the process only lasted for a moment, and the Lizard King managed to withstand it, it was in that brief moment that the air slash struck the Lizard King!

The Flying-type energy slash, sharp as a knife, struck the Sceptile. Its STAB boost, combined with its double super-effectiveness against Grass-types, instantly inflicted massive damage on the Sceptile.

At the same time, a scene that made Xia Yu even more worried appeared. Affected by the air slash, coupled with the previous paralysis, the Lizard King's body was directly frozen in place.

"Togekiss, continuous air slashes!" Peach Crisp's voice rang out again, and it was time to get into Togekiss's rhythm.

"Lizard King, see through it."

Faced with Togekiss's relentless bombardment, Xia Yu did not hesitate to have the Lizard King use its See Through skill.

A shield of light appeared in front of the Lizard King, blocking all the air slashes and giving the Lizard King a temporary respite.

"Rockfall, Lizard King!"

After the Light Shield ended, Xia Yu once again commanded Sceptile to use the Rock Slide move. However, this time Sceptile did not use its tail to smash the rocks on the ground to use Rock Slide. Instead, it released Rock-type energy directly in the air, forming countless fine stones that bombarded Togekiss.

This time, the Lizard King abandoned precision strikes and instead used large areas of small, scattered stones for firepower coverage.

"Supernatural power!"

Faced with Sceptile's Rock Slide attack, Togekiss once again displayed amazing psychic power, with the psychic energy surging from its body directly stopping all the debris in the sky.

The terrifying superpowers it displayed made Xia Yu frown. Pokémon with Champion-level potential were indeed not easy to deal with, especially since Sceptile had just broken through to Gym Leader level, while Togekiss had obviously already reached Gym Leader level.

"Thunder Fist, Lizard King!"

Xia Yu's voice rang out, and the exact same scene continued to unfold.

This time, however, Togekiss was manipulating boulders instead of giant rocks, which gave the Lizard King an opportunity. With his fist crackling with electricity, he leaped high into the air and punched Togekiss.

However, at that moment, something surprising happened: the Lizard King, which was flying in the air, suddenly stopped.

At such a critical moment, the Lizard King's body was briefly paralyzed. Although it was only for a short instant, the Lizard King was flying in mid-air, which directly interrupted the Lizard King's skill and caused it to fall from the sky to the ground.

At the same time, Togekiss was also manipulating rocks to bombard the Lizard King!

"Togekiss, Air Slash!" Peach Crisp's voice rang out.

Xia Yu hadn't expected that the paralysis would take effect at the crucial moment, directly ruining their current favorable situation.

Xia Yu sighed softly. The chances of the Lizard King winning this match were extremely slim. Of course, if it chose to Mega Evolve, it would have a much better chance, but this was just a training match.

However, this match also served as a reminder to Xia Yu that he needed to prepare countermeasures against tactics that inflict negative status effects.

It's time to learn the Mystic Guardian skill.

"Alright, I admit defeat, I admit defeat." Xia Yu decisively recalled the Lizard King and directly admitted defeat. Anyway, it was just a training match, so losing wasn't shameful: "I admit defeat, I admit defeat."

Xia Yu's actions caught Tao Su off guard. The next round of the competition should have been a win for her, but Xia Yu's sudden surrender made her feel very upset.

It's like you're a late-game carry, and you've already leveled up, ready to go all out and take on five opponents to win the game, only to have the enemy team surrender and your teammates laugh at you for getting carried to victory.

I clearly won, so why am I not happy?

Chapter 426 Wu Yaozu's Change

A gentle autumn breeze blew, scattering withered leaves.

October arrived, and the mission in Heilong City came to an end.

Just as Lü Tinghe had predicted, the underground world of Heilong City simply shoved a scapegoat to take the blame, and even the two mid-level core figures, Fu Yixin and Fu Yiyi, were not affected at all, giving the investigation team a hasty explanation.

Xia Yu was not surprised by this result; this is the rule of this world.

Given his current status, he is powerless to change the situation for the time being. Xia Yu has no choice but to become stronger.

Zhang Zhenghua had obviously anticipated this outcome, and looked at Xia Yu and Tao Su: "It's been a month since we came out. You two should go back to school. I still need to go back and write the summary report of this investigation."

Zhang Zhenghua rubbed his head. He hated writing the final investigation report even more than conducting the investigation itself.

This is a real technical job.

After all, it's better to talk a good game than to do a good job.

…………

After waving goodbye to Zhang Zhenghua, Xia Yu looked at Tao Su beside her and asked, "Senior, are you going back to school?"

Perhaps because she had just returned to the capital from Heilong City, Tao Su was unusually dressed today in a beautiful outfit: a knee-length skirt and crystal high heels, showing off her tall and slender figure. She transformed from a student into a fashionable urban woman.

"I'm not going back, you don't need to worry about me." Tao Su shook her head. She had been in Heilong City for a month and was almost bored to death. Before coming back, she had made plans to go shopping with her best friend: "You should go back to school first."

"Row."

"By the way," Tao Su said, just as she was about to leave, "Xia Yu, you are the champion of this year's competition. Don't slack off in college. Make it into the G2 League as soon as possible. I look forward to playing against you in an official match."

In that training match, Xia Yu surrendered too readily, not even using Mega Evolution or Dragapult. Therefore, after returning home, Tao Su increasingly felt that Xia Yu had definitely held back, and she was somewhat dissatisfied with him: "Next time you must give it your all."

"Okay, senior," Xia Yu replied perfunctorily, "I'm also looking forward to sparring with you."

…………

After saying goodbye, Xia Yu prepared to go back to school first. She hadn't seen Teacher Long for a long time and missed him terribly.

However, it was still early, only 10 a.m., so Xia Yu planned to go see Wu Yaozu first.

Half a month ago, Xia Yu received a call from Wu Yaozu. She remembered that Wu Yaozu was crying and told her that he had broken up with his girlfriend. However, Xia Yu was too busy to care about Wu Yaozu at the time.

Actually, Xia Yu was still a little worried about his good brother's condition. Now that he was back in the capital and had some free time, he decided to go and see him to see if Wu Yaozu had gotten over his heartbreak.

"Hey, Yaozu, where are you?" Xia Yu asked as he dialed Wu Yaozu's number.

"I'm in the training room." Wu Yaozu's voice revealed a hint of surprise: "Brother Yu, you're back?"

“I’m back. Which training room are you in? I’ll come find you,” Xia Yu said.

“No need. Where are you now? I’ll come find you,” Wu Yaozu said.

"I'm downstairs in Building 1."

"Then wait for me downstairs in Building 1, I'll come find you right away."

…………

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu waited for about ten minutes before seeing a boy wearing sunglasses and sporting dreadlocks walk up to him, take off his sunglasses, wave at Xia Yu, and shout, "Brother Yu!"

"Yaozu?" Xia Yu's tone was full of uncertainty. He carefully looked at Wu Yaozu in front of him and found it hard to associate him with the Wu Yaozu of a month ago.

With a head full of dreadlocks, dressed in trendy hip-hop style, and walking with a swaying gait, he looked quite different from his previous appearance. But to be honest, he was actually quite handsome.

"What is this...?" Xia Yu looked Wu Yaozu up and down and asked.

"Brother Yu." Wu Yaozu's lips curled up, quite satisfied with Xia Yu's reaction: "I've decided, I'm going to be the Rock-type Rapper Gym Leader!"

"A rapper? Are you sure?" Xia Yu looked at Wu Yaozu with suspicion. He knew his good brother well enough. Could someone who had never studied music become a rapper?

"Show me a bit first, then I'll see what you think," Xia Yu said.
