Pokémon: Master System.

"Scyther, use your wings!"

"Sun Eevee, strong mind!"

"Burning with rage, Moltres!"

"Armored Bird, pounce!"

Of the four Pokémon, Espeon and Galarian Moltres use ranged special attacks, while Scyther and Skarmory are physical attackers.

Scyther's wings are actually very powerful because they are two attacks, each with a low attack power, which can trigger the Advanced ability. Combined with the STAB (Skilled Flying) bonus, the power of its wings is quite terrifying.

The Skarmory on the other side is also using a powerful attack, which deals more damage the higher its defense. Skarmory's defense is among the best of all Pokémon, and its power is equally astonishing.

The Scyther and Skarmory, one on the left and one on the right, flapped their wings and launched an attack on the Iron Warrior.

Skarmory ignited with Fighting-type energy, unfurled its silver armor, which gleamed in the moonlight, and pounced on Iron Warrior.

At the same time, Scyther also unleashed Flying-type energy, wielding its twin blades enveloped in Flying-type energy as it slashed at Iron Warrior.

Faced with the attack of four Pokémon, Iron Warrior remained extremely calm, subtly shifting his right hand to switch the double-edged blade into two short blades.

The Iron Warrior, wielding two short blades, unleashed astonishing speed and power, first taking the initiative to meet the armored bird head-on, using his short blades to block the bird's attack.

At the same time, the Scyther's attack also arrived!

The sharp scythes slashed towards the Iron Warrior's body, but at that moment, the Iron Warrior made a move that surprised everyone. It deflected the force, letting the Skarmory's attack fall on its body, and then lunged forward, slashing at the Scyther with its twin blades!

Its objective was very clear: to focus its firepower on taking down one Pokémon first!

The blades flashed, gleaming with a purple light.

The near-master level Iron Warrior completely overwhelmed the champion level Scyther.

In terms of speed, strength, and energy, the Iron Warrior completely overwhelmed the Flying Mantis, and the sound of a sharp blade cutting through skin could be heard.

In the blink of an eye, the Scyther's entire body was covered in terrifying bloodstains, and it was severely injured.

One strike, just one strike, was enough to severely injure the Scyther.

Xia Yu finally understood how he felt when Meyer's Swampert crushed him.

At the same time, Galarian Moltres's Burning Fury and Espeon's Psychic Power also landed on Iron Warrior, causing some damage to him.

"Iron Warrior, Absorb Fist... Absorb Slash!" Xia Yu's voice rang out. The Iron Warrior's only hope of victory lay in the Absorb Fist skill!

The Absorb Punch not only deals damage to enemies but also restores stamina, enhancing survivability.

Upon hearing Xia Yu's command, Iron Warrior did not hesitate at all. Fighting-type energy surged from his entire body, spreading to his two short blades, and then he turned to attack Skarmory!

…………

Seeing this, Coffin-4 grew increasingly anxious and hurriedly commanded its Pokémon, "Skewer, protect!"

"Deoxys, use Mind Blast, quickly go support Skarmory." After giving the order, Coffin-4 turned to Kong Yanyi and said, "Where's your Bloodwing Wyvern? Have it attack too!"

From the very beginning, Kong Yanyi only released the Bloodwing Wyvern, but did not let it launch an attack.

"I only have two Flying-type Pokémon, Salamence and Moltres. I must keep one as a last resort for escaping," Kong Yan said calmly, looking at the Divine Coffin-4.

Hearing Kong Yanyi's words, the Divine Coffin-4 took a deep breath, trying its best to suppress the roar in its heart, and looked at Kong Yanyi with undisguised coldness: "Let your Bloodwing Wyvern launch an attack, and I promise to double your reward!"

Kong Yan looked at the Divine Coffin-4, took a deep breath, and slowly nodded: "Alright, it's up to you."

Chapter 551 Xu Xiu and Li Yunyao

Meanwhile, a great battle is also unfolding in the Grass and Insect Realm.

Li Yunyao looked at Xu Xiu, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes. The last time the two had interacted was a year and a half ago, also in the Grass and Insect Secret Realm beneath their feet.

However, at that time he had the strength to absolutely crush Xu Xiu, and Xu Xiu did not dare to fight him. Before he even arrived at the secret realm, Xu Xiu had already fled.

Now, a year and a half later, Xu Xiu has not only joined the Divine Coffin Organization, but also gained the strength to face him directly.

“Xu Xiu…” Li Yunyao looked at Xu Xiu and spoke slowly, his voice calm: “With just one Tyranitar… you can’t defeat me. Surrender.”

Hearing Li Yunyao's words, Xu Xiu remained calm and indifferent. He played with the silver crying mask in his hand and looked at Li Yunyao: "Li Yunyao, when you lied to me back then, you probably never thought that one day I would have such strength, the strength to talk to you on equal terms."

Xu Xiu stared coldly at Li Yunyao, his expression indifferent, and his deep voice slowly rang out: "When I personally handed you the Larvitar's Pokémon egg back then, you personally promised me that you would give me the Larvitar's Pokémon egg as a reward."

"And what happened? The Larvitar egg was awarded to the Qi family, and I was only given a chance to choose a Pokémon. I was too naive back then to believe your nonsense."

Hearing Xu Xiu's words, Li Yunyao took a deep breath, looked at Xu Xiu, and said with a gloomy expression: "Xu Xiu, you should know that this is not something I can decide. According to the rules of the patrol team, once a member of the patrol team finds a pseudo-legendary Pokémon egg, he must hand it over to the association, and then the Pokémon Association will distribute it in a unified manner."

"But you personally promised me that you would give me that elf egg." Xu Xiu's voice was cold.

Li Yunyao looked at Xu Xiu in front of him with a helpless expression and slowly said, "Under normal circumstances, given your strength at the time and your contributions to the patrol team, it was very likely that you would have a good chance of directly obtaining that baby Gilas's elf egg."

"But I told you at the time that there was a high probability of getting that baby Gilas's egg, but it wasn't absolute. In the end, something went wrong, and there was nothing I could do about it."

“Xu Xiu!” Li Yunyao took a deep breath, staring at Xu Xiu with a hint of anger in his expression: “The matter had already happened, and I was powerless to change it. But you shouldn’t have done it, you shouldn’t have wiped out the entire Qi family and taken back this young Gilas’s elf egg.”

"I have no choice but to let things get to this point." Xu Xiu smiled slightly, shook his head slowly, and looked at Li Yunyao with a hint of mockery in his expression: "You may not know, Li Yunyao. What I found back then was not only that baby Gilas's elf egg, but also another item."

Li Yunyao frowned as he listened to Xu Xiu's words. He had never known that there was such a secret back then. He watched Xu Xiu quietly, waiting for him to continue.

Xu Xiu's lips curled up, his gaze sharp as he stared at Li Yunyao, and he slowly said, "Besides finding that baby Gilas's elf egg, I also found another item not far away, an Arceus stone tablet, the Evil Face Stone Tablet."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunyao's pupils dilated sharply, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes: "You..."

"The Evil-Faced Stone Slab".

"Everything is God's will."

"Back then, after I found the Evil Face Stone Tablet and the Baby Gilas's elf egg, I secretly brought them back to my dormitory without telling anyone."

"Stone slabs are easy to hide, but elf eggs are not."

“On the very first day, my roommate discovered this Pokémon egg.” Xu Xiu smiled faintly as he looked at Li Yunyao. “For a moment, I was terrified. I was afraid he would report me to the Pokémon Association and expose my merit. For a moment, I even thought about killing him and running away to the ends of the earth.”

"But... I didn't do it. I couldn't bring myself to do it to my teammates who fought alongside me."

"And he...didn't disappoint me either. He chose to pretend he knew nothing and helped me cover it up." Xu Xiu smiled. "Do you know who my roommate was back then?"

"Xia Yong".

Li Yunyao was extremely surprised. Although he knew that Xia Yong and Xu Xiu were both in the patrol team back then, he did not know that there was such a relationship between the two.

No wonder... Xu Xiu killed all of Xia Yong and Xia Luo's main Pokémon back then, but he didn't kill them.

…………

Xu Xiu didn't pause at all, and continued recounting the past as if talking to himself: "But later, Larvitar's Pokémon egg was still discovered by others. When the two of us went on patrol together, the Pokémon egg in my room was still discovered by other teammates. I had no choice but to report it to the Pokémon Association."

"As you know, the young Gilas's egg was given to the Qi family. I wiped out the entire Qi family, took back the egg, and gradually got to where I am today."

“Actually, from the very beginning, the baby Gilas’s egg was mine. The reason I’m where I am today is all because of you guys.” Xu Xiu said, taking a deep breath and looking directly at Li Yunyao. “After saying so much, it’s time to talk about your business.”

“Li Yunyao…you probably really think I’m an idiot, right? You’re still lying to me even now.” Xu Xiu’s gaze fell on Li Yunyao, a hint of pity in his eyes, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips.

"Do you know what the eldest son of the Qi family said when I wiped out the entire Qi family? He knelt on the ground and begged me not to kill him. He cried and told me that they had made a deal with you. They were just middlemen. They would give you the young Gilas's elf egg soon after they got it."

Hearing Xu Xiu's words, Li Yunyao's expression turned gloomy, but he did not deny the matter: "What's the use of saying so much now that things have come to this? Xu Xiu, it's not too late to turn back now."

“Turning back?” Xu Xiu stared intently at Li Yunyao: “I can’t turn back now. Besides, I didn’t come here today to turn back to you. I came here to settle things with you.”

"Having said all that, you can die knowing the truth before you die." Xu Xiu's voice rang out, and then he took out a Poké Ball from his waist: "Li Yunyao, if one of the Elite Four from the Southwest region dies, who do you think will take his place?"

"Go, Ancient Sword Leopard!" With that, Xu Xiu threw out a Poké Ball.

As Xu Xiu's voice rang out, the Ancient Sword Leopard appeared in the open space, its snow-white body, sword-like fangs, and diamond-shaped patterns on its skin exuding a chilling aura.

At the same time, Gusword's sword-shaped fangs unleashed a terrifying aura that spread outwards, and in just an instant, the defense of all Pokémon on the field decreased.

The Calamity Sword's special ability is activated!

Immediately afterwards, Xu Xiu ordered Bangiras, who was standing to the side, "Bangiras, it's time to use your full strength and punish Light Shard!"

Chapter 552 Xia Yu's Backup Plan

"boom!"

The loud noise from afar startled everyone present.

Xia Yu turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came, and was slightly startled. Was that the location of the Grass Insect Secret Realm?

Holy crap! My Xia family's secret stash of money!

The Divine Coffin even sent people to launch a surprise attack on the Grass and Insect Realm?!

Cutting someone's money is like killing their parents, you god...you're not human!

Even though his heart was bleeding, Xia Yu knew that he couldn't worry about that right now. The most important thing was to deal with the three enemies in front of him first.

The Iron Warrior's two short blades gleamed with a crimson light. The Absorb Fist...Slash skill was activated, and a slash under the moonlight, carrying supreme power, struck the Skarmory's light shield.

A full-force slash erupted in the darkness, the sharp blade piercing through the armored bird's light shield before continuing its attack.

Fortunately, the Light Shield skill greatly reduced the power of Drain Slash, otherwise Skarmory would have been seriously injured.

At the same time, attacks from several other Pokémon also arrived.
