Pokémon: Master System.

Chapter 66 Buzzbat vs. Charmander

The Nobbat flew through the air, quickly widening the distance between itself and Charmander, constantly attacking Charmander with its Wind Slash skill. Although the power was limited, this made Charmander, who couldn't touch the Nobbat, extremely angry.

"Roar!"

The angry little dragon roared, having completely broken free of its chaotic state and quickly regained its senses. Then, a surge of rock-type energy erupted from its body.

【Primal Power】: A Rock-type special move that attacks with primal power and sometimes boosts all stats.

A muddy yellow rock-type energy ball gathered in front of the little dragon's claws and hurled it at the Buzzbat flying in the air.

"Buzz!"

The buzzing bat flapped its wings rapidly, dodging the little fire dragon's primal power attack in mid-air, but just as it evaded the primal power, a dragon breath followed!

Charmander learned his lesson and immediately followed up his first attack with a second dragon breath attack after using his primal power. This caught the airborne Nombat completely off guard, and the powerful dragon breath struck Nombat directly, causing instant damage.

Compared to the minor scratching damage caused by the Nombat's wind, Charmander's dragon breath is significantly more powerful and also counters the dual-type Nombat, which is both Dragon and Flying.

"Buzz!"

The injured Buzzbat was now enraged. It flapped its wings frantically and used the Wind Rising skill again. Buzzbat's attack skills were still too few, with only Absorb and Wind Rising. This made Xia Yu think that he should go back and have Buzzbat start learning the Dragon Pulse skill, or tell Long Yan Ning to teach the Dragon Pulse skill next week.

This way, I can legitimately teach both Nombat and Charmander the Dragon Pulse move.

Just as Xia Yu was pondering, the Wind skill took effect again, damaging Charmander once more. At this moment, Charmander completely disregarded its own injuries and chose the most violent approach, trading damage for damage.

Without tactics, it's just reckless recklessness.

"Roar!"

Charmander unleashed its Ancient Power ability once more, sending a Rock-type Energy Ball flying towards Nombat.

"Shadow clone!"

This time, the Nobbat learned its lesson and didn't try to dodge, lest it be hit by the dragon breath that Charmander followed up. Instead, it chose to use the Shadow Clone skill again, instantly creating four or five clones to disrupt Charmander's attack.

Charmander had no choice but to use a Rock-type Energy Ball to attack one of the Nomputs. Unfortunately, there was a one in six chance that it would guess the wrong target and miss its attack!

"Ultrasound."

The Nompton displayed remarkable composure and skill, completely circumventing its weakness of lacking offensive moves. Instead, it showcased its guerrilla harassment tactics to the fullest extent, once again successfully hitting Charmander with its Ultrasonic attack, causing Charmander, which had just recovered from its confused state, to fall into a confused state again.

"The wind rises!"

The Nompton had completely taken control of the battle, constantly harassing Charmander with its three skills: Shadow Clone, Ultrasonic Wave, and Wind Rush, making Charmander suffer greatly and fall into a complete disadvantage.

"Okay, stop."

Xia Yu interrupted the battle at the right time. There was no need to continue fighting. It was only a matter of time before Nombat won. With the advantage of Flying-type Pokémon, Charmander had no chance of winning.

"Buzzbat won this match." Xia Yu touched Buzzbat's purple ears to encourage it, and Buzzbat affectionately rubbed against Xia Yu's palm, looking extremely happy.

"Charmander, don't be discouraged. Keep trying! Once you evolve into Charizard and can fly, Nombat might not be able to beat you." Compared to Nombat's joy, Charmander was in a terrible mood, completely unable to accept its defeat. This meant it was now the weakest of the three Pokémon. Grovyle was the undisputed leader, and now that Charmander had lost to Nombat, it was naturally third.

"Little Charmander, it's alright. You were born the latest. With more training, you'll definitely become very strong."

Xia Yu noticed the little fire dragon's disappointed mood and quickly comforted it, then took the little fire dragon and the buzzing bat to the infirmary for treatment.

…………

While treating his Pokémon, Xia Yu wandered into the hatching room of the Dragon-type Secret Realm, hoping to find some good Pokémon eggs. However, when he entered the hatching room, he discovered that there wasn't a single Dragon-type Pokémon egg for sale.

"Hello," Xia Yu asked a guide, "Don't you sell Dragon-type Pokémon eggs here?"

"Sir, is this your first time here?" Looking at the handsome Xia Yu, the guide smiled brightly and said, "Unlike other secret realms, the Dragon-type secret realm here only has one fixed time to sell Pokémon eggs each month. This is because Dragon-type Pokémon have extremely low breeding ability, and there are only a few Dragon-type Pokémon eggs each month. Moreover, Dragon-type Pokémon eggs are very rare, and most people who obtain them will not choose to sell them."

Xia Yu nodded. That was indeed the case. Bug-type Pokémon often have extremely high reproductive capabilities, but their strength is generally weak, while Dragon-type Pokémon have extremely low reproductive capabilities, but their strength is generally strong. This is the law of nature.

"But sir, you don't need to worry. Next Sunday is the public sales day for this month. You can come and choose to see if there are any Pokémon eggs you like," the guide said sweetly.

"Do you sell pseudo-legendary Pokémon eggs here?" Xia Yu couldn't help but ask.

"..." The guide looked embarrassed. "Sir, you're so funny. Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are not for sale."

"Okay." Xia Yu felt a little regretful, but then he thought it was normal. Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are extremely rare, and given the League's track record, they definitely wouldn't sell them to the public. "Next weekend, I'll remember that, thanks."

Hearing that there were no Pokémon for sale, Xia Yu felt bored and left the hatchery, returned to the infirmary, took two Pokémon, and went back to his room to rest.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

Just as she stepped inside, the phone rang. Xia Yu answered it and saw that it was her grandmother calling. She quickly picked up the phone.

"Hello, Grandma."

"Xiaoyu." Grandma Qin smiled as she heard her grandson's voice on the other end of the phone: "Xiao Li just said that you have two packages that have arrived. I put them in your room."

Xia Yu remembered the two stones he had acquired. One of them was a Mega Stone that resembled Gengar, and the other was a dim Wishing Star.

"Grandma, you can just put it in the room," Xia Yu said. "What did you eat today? Be careful about your diet, and don't let Grandpa drink too much alcohol."

"I've eaten." Hearing her grandson's concern, Grandma Qin's smile widened: "You know your grandfather's temper. No one else can persuade him. Only you can talk to him when you come back."

"What man doesn't drink?!" Old Lin's voice came from the side, then he paused and continued, "Xiaoyu, Xueyun has almost finished writing her thesis, and it should be published in a few days."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Grandpa, and thank you, Uncle." Xia Yu replied. It had only been a week since the experiment, and his uncle, Lin Xueyun, had already written a paper. It had to be said that his writing skills were quite strong. "I'll come back to see you all once I can leave the secret realm."

"A good man should have ambitions beyond his hometown. You should strengthen your training in the secret realm. If you don't understand anything, just go to Long Yanning."

"Okay, Grandpa."

Xia Yu chatted with her grandparents for a long time about everyday things before hanging up the phone. After a quick meal, Xia Yu took her three Pokémon, who had just eaten Energy Cubes, to the training ground.

Even if it means death, it's on the training field!

Chapter 67 Su Muzi

Traveling against the current, retreating if not advancing.

Even though it was late at night, Xia Yu was still training alone in the empty training field, the bright lights illuminating the figures of Xia Yu and his three Pokémon.

"Buzzbat, hold on." A huge tire was hanging on its body as it struggled to flap its wings and move forward at a snail's pace.

After recent targeted training, the Buzz Bat's load-bearing capacity has improved by leaps and bounds, and it can now carry 20kg. To this end, Xia Yu has increased the intensity of training to continuously stimulate and explore the Buzz Bat's potential.

On the other side, the forest lizard was heavily strapped to its legs, and while moving at high speed, it continuously unleashed skills such as Magic Leaf, Dragon Breath, and Dragon Pulse.

Finally, after being defeated by the Nodding Bat, Charmander was spurred on by his defeat and trained with all his might all night. He spun around and lashed out at the dummy with his tail, making a "thump thump" sound, and then used his sharp claws to grab at the dummy.

Xia Yu wasn't idle either; he was also working on his physique, training with his three Pokémon. This is the passionate youth, growing stronger through sweat and feeling incredibly fulfilled.

…………

Meanwhile, inside the restaurant of the Dragon Realm, the students in the training camp were enjoying a meal together, clinking glasses and laughing and chatting.

The boys were all dressed in brand-new clothes, and some even got a trendy haircut in the afternoon, making them look more handsome, a stark contrast to their disheveled appearance on the training field.

The girls had clearly dressed up carefully, with light makeup on their faces and even their fingernails meticulously manicured. Every smile and gesture they made captivated the boys' hearts.

Men and women sat together as if they had endless topics to talk about, exuding their charm in whispers.

In the crowd, Shen Zijun was pushed to the front by three or five friends beside him.

"Brother Shen, sing a song."

"Give me a song, give me a song."

Surrounded by the crowd, Shen Zijun reluctantly picked up the microphone and bowed to everyone.

"Unable to refuse such kind invitations, I'll make a fool of myself here and start by singing a song for everyone."

Shen Zijun spoke modestly, but he had studied vocal music and sang a pop song for everyone amidst cheers. His voice was hoarse, and it was almost indistinguishable from the original singer, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

Some of the girls were already looking at Shen Zijun with shining eyes. He was handsome, talented, young, rich, strong, and from a good family. Shen Zijun could be said to be the perfect romantic partner. Moreover, Shen Zijun was also very handsome. If it weren't for Xia Yu, he would probably be the most handsome guy in the entire training camp.

After the piece ended, everyone applauded and then urged the class monitor, Su Muzi, to perform for everyone. Su Muzi acted very confidently. She was wearing a white pleated skirt and her long, slender legs were swaying as she sat down at the piano under the spotlight.

In the blink of an eye, the melodious sound of the piano filled the air, and slender, fair fingers danced across the keys, graceful and elegant, like butterflies in flight. At that moment, Su Muzi seemed to be the center of the world, breathtakingly beautiful. As the piece ended, thunderous applause erupted.

…………

The bustling atmosphere inside the restaurant contrasted sharply with the solitude of the training ground.

The noise and bustle had nothing to do with Xia Yu; all he saw was his unwavering belief in becoming stronger, a trait he shared with the forest lizard.

The Forest Lizard has its own dream. Leaving the secret realm despite its parents' expectations, it has only one belief: to prove itself, to prove itself to be the strongest Pokémon.

To achieve this goal, Grovyle has always been the most hardworking Pokémon. It has no shortage of talent or effort; the only thing it lacks is time. But as long as the seeds of time are sown, its future will surely bear abundant fruit.

Xia Yu also yearns for the restlessness and hedonistic lifestyle of youth, but after the series of events involving Xu Xiu, the Zhao family, and the evil Pokémon, he now has only one belief in his heart: to become stronger. Women, food, drink, and entertainment will only hinder his speed in drawing his sword.

All enjoyment must be based on corresponding strength.

…………

Inside the restaurant, the dinner party was coming to an end. Influenced by the atmosphere, almost everyone had a few drinks, even Long Yanning, who was a teacher. She was the kind of person who blushed easily when she drank, and even though she only drank a small glass of red wine, her face was already flushed.

"Remember to go back and rest early, everyone. We have training tomorrow." Long Yanning instructed her students: "Girls, come with me. I'll take you all back to your dorms."

"Understood, Teacher Long."

"Thank you, Teacher Long."
