Pokémon: Master System.

Without a doubt, this Dragapult's aptitude perfectly matches Xia Yu's expectations, and its final evolution, Dragapult, is extremely powerful, making it one of Xia Yu's favorite Pokémon.

In the game, Dragapult is also a popular choice in battles, considered a very well-rounded Pokémon. Its Dragon/Ghost typing grants it two type immunity, six type resistances, and five type weaknesses, while also lacking any 4x weaknesses. This is quite rare for a Dragon-type Pokémon.

Looking at its stats, its Speed ​​stat of 142 ranks fourth among all non-legendary Pokémon (including Ultra Beasts). Its Attack stat of 120 perfectly compensates for the lack of a physical attacker in Xia Yu's current team. Its Special Attack stat of 100, coupled with its extremely rich move pool including Dragon Pulse, Surf, Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, Solar Beam, Flamethrower, Hydro Pump, and Meteor Shower, also makes it perform well in the Special Attack tier.

At the same time, its extremely high speed allows it to create light walls and reflective walls, and with skills such as phosphorescence and rapid return, it can also become a support character.

Dragapult can be considered a very well-rounded Pokémon. Its drawbacks are that it is too expensive to train and has a long training period.

Although Xia Yu doesn't have to worry about money for the time being, the thought that almost all of the skills mentioned above require a move learning machine to learn gives him a headache.

The excessively long training period is a major problem for Dragapult, as its evolution is simply too slow. Evolving Dragapult from Dragapult requires at least the strength of a Gym Leader, while evolving Dragapult into Dragapult requires the strength of a Champion.

This gave Xia Yu a huge headache, but there was good news: as long as Xia Yu caught five Dragon-type Pokémon, he could get an A-rank Dragon Scale, which could accelerate the growth of Dragon-type Pokémon and save a lot of time.

After taking a good look at the Pokémon egg, Xia Yu didn't hesitate at all and said, "Please wrap up this Pokémon egg for me, thank you."

"Are you sure?" The fat supervisor was sweating. Although they couldn't accurately measure the aptitude of the Pokémon egg through the shell, they could still roughly judge that the egg's aptitude was quite good. This made him quite troubled, so he quickly said, "Actually, for you newbies, I recommend Dratini. Dratini has a gentle nature, is easy to train, and its strength is also very strong when it evolves into Dragonite."

At the same time, Long Yanning frowned slightly. She didn't expect Xia Yu to make the choice so quickly. She quickly and quietly placed her hand on the Pokémon egg and, while Xia Yu was talking to the fat manager, immediately used her ability to sense the strength of the Dragon-type Pokémon egg.

A flash of light appeared, and Long Yanning's lips curled up slightly, but she quickly suppressed her smile, clearly having received an answer that satisfied her.

"This is the one. Wrap it up."

Chapter 84 Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon (4)

After selecting the egg for the pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Xia Yu didn't rush to leave. Instead, he continued to examine the other Dragon-type Pokémon eggs.

After all, it's not easy to make a trip to the Dragon-type Secret Realm in Chang'an, and I've even offended someone. Who knows when I'll be able to come back again? I should hurry up and pick out some Dragon-type Pokémon with good potential and take them with me.

Meanwhile, the fat manager looked bitter; he couldn't stop Xia Yu at all, and he had no way to stop him.

Just then, a figure walked in through the door.

"One million, and you don't choose that elf egg." The newcomer didn't say anything, simply holding up one finger and offering a million, concisely stating, "In addition, I promise you, I'll help you out once for free in the future."

Xia Yu frowned as he looked at the man. He had never seen him before, but Long Yanning had told him who he was on the way here. The man's name was Yu Haoran. He was not one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Northwest Region, but he was the person in charge of the Chang'an Dragon System Secret Realm.

After all, there are about fifty secret realms discovered nationwide, and the Elite Four only number 28. Therefore, only a few secret realms and newly discovered secret realms are guarded by the Elite Four. Most secret realms are guarded by two or three powerful Elite Four-level trainers working together.

Although Yu Haoran is not one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Northwest Region, he achieved fifth place in the Northwest Region Heavenly King Ranking Competition, demonstrating his strength. He was assigned to guard the Chang'an Dragon System Secret Realm year-round.

"Sorry." Even when facing a Champion-level trainer, Xia Yu would not back down. He would never let go of a shiny Dragapult Messia. Besides, this was a forbidden area of ​​the secret realm, and no matter how powerful he was, he would not dare to make a direct move: "We have already chosen the Pokémon eggs."

"You can change it. As long as you haven't made a final decision, you can change it again. I have to remind you, if we can't be friends, then we can only be enemies." Yu Haoran looked at Xia Yu coldly. He urgently needed a powerful pseudo-legendary Pokémon to help him secure his position as one of the Elite Four in the Northwest region. He had already chosen this Pokémon egg and asked several renowned breeders to help him assess its potential. Everyone said that this Dragapult egg had potential above the Elite Four level and was very likely to be a near-Champion.

Therefore, he had already made up his mind to get this Pokémon egg. However, because his selection order for Pokémon eggs this year was not high, he could only wait for others to select first before it was his turn. He had already spent a lot of money bribing people to exchange their Pokémon eggs for others. But unexpectedly, Xia Yu appeared out of nowhere, disrupting all his plans. It was very likely that all his efforts would be in vain. So he had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure: "200 million. Think it over carefully."

Faced with the aggressive Yu Haoran, Xia Yu's face turned ugly. He was also annoyed to encounter such an unreasonable Elite 1 trainer.

But that's how the world is—survival of the fittest. Without strength, even self-preservation becomes difficult, let alone obtaining resources like pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Ordinary people without a background can't even find the threshold to climb up the ladder.

Elite Four level trainers have almost monopolized rare resources like pseudo-legendary Pokémon, making it difficult for many Gym Leader level and pseudo-Elite Four level trainers to advance.

This is why Xu Xiu wiped out an entire family just for a Tyranitar's Pokémon egg!

This is why Xia Yu has never dared to reveal his Pokémon's potential!

The Xia family was already weak, and the Lin family was also a research family. The whole family only had their youngest uncle, a Champion-level trainer, to hold their own. So he had to become stronger, and he had to do it secretly.

However, Xia Yu felt it was worth offending Yu Haoran for the sake of this Draco Mesiah Pokémon egg! But he still had to be careful. Even if Yu Haoran didn't dare to do anything openly, he would definitely do something behind the scenes.

"Yu Haoran!" Seeing Yu Haoran threatening Xia Yu directly in front of her, Long Yanning stood directly in front of Xia Yu, blocking the two of them, and looked at Yu Haoran coldly: "Are you threatening us?"

“This matter has nothing to do with you or Long Tianwang. I only gave him 200 million to give you and Long Tianwang face. Otherwise, what qualifications do you think a scientific researcher has for me to speak to him politely?”

Yu Haoran had long been stationed in the Dragon System Secret Realm of Chang'an, and given his superior strength, he had essentially turned the realm into his personal fiefdom, making him arrogant and disdainful of everyone. Just as he said, if it weren't for Long Fan's sake, he would have already kicked Xia Yu out.

Then just find a scapegoat, give them some compensation, and explain that it was a temporary worker's negligence.

Long Yanning's expression was cold as she shielded Xia Yu behind her. This scene felt somewhat familiar to Xia Yu. Why was it always a woman protecting him? It seemed like the last time was with Long Yanning. But as the saying goes, practice makes perfect. It felt really good to have such a long, white leg to hug.

“He’s my father’s new disciple. If you have any problems, just come to me.” Long Yanning’s words made Yu Haoran’s face turn extremely ugly.

"Are you sure you want to stand up for him?" Yu Haoran's face was gloomy. "The Dragon King's reach is too far. I wonder if you can protect him for a while, or for a lifetime? He will eventually be left alone."

Yu Haoran's words made Xia Yu's face extremely gloomy. This guy's ruthlessness was beyond Xia Yu's imagination, like a cold and venomous snake.

"Teacher Long, I need to make a phone call." Xia Yu said softly to Long Yanning, his anger turning into a mocking laugh. He knew that Yu Haoran was so arrogant because he didn't know that Xia Yu had developed a unique Z-Move. After all, the Pokémon Association had only announced the reward for Xia Yu, but the unique Z-Move was still a secret.

Although he didn't want to use his power to intimidate others, he knew he had to get his grandfather to confront the Pokémon Association and demand an explanation. Frankly, given Xia Yu's current research capabilities, if he were to suggest going abroad, countless people would offer him money to settle there. If pushed too far, he could simply have his entire family immigrate overseas, and no one could do anything about it.

He didn't believe the Pokémon Association would dare to tolerate Yu Haoran.

"Hey, Grandpa..."

Xia Yu told Old Lin everything that had happened over the phone. Old Lin on the other end of the line was furious and extremely angry.

"I'm going to make a phone call," Old Lin said before hanging up.

Yu Haoran looked at Xia Yu with a sneer: "I respect Elder Lin, but this matter concerns our future. Elder Lin's presence is useless. Think it over today, take the two million and leave. It's better for everyone."

Xia Yu ignored him, and the two remained at an impasse. Estimating that Elder Lin would be gone for a while, Xia Yu simply went to look at the other Pokémon eggs, hoping to find some better ones.

Looking at Xia Yu strolling around, Long Yan Ning really thought he was a bit carefree. Even at a time like this, he still had the energy to choose a Pokémon egg.

"what."

Sure enough, Xia Yu actually found two Elite Four-level Pokémon eggs, but it was clear that Xia Yu was being a bit picky now, and after a slight hesitation, he gave up on choosing one.

Chapter 85 Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon (The End)

There weren't many Pokémon eggs in the hatchery, and Xia Yu quickly looked through them all but didn't find a suitable Pokémon. Therefore, Xia Yu decided to save the remaining opportunity to choose a non-legendary Pokémon for another time.

Just then, Yu Haoran's phone rang, clearly indicating that Xia Yu's call had worked.

Yu Haoran picked up his phone, looked at the name on the caller ID, his face gradually darkened, but he remained calm, suppressing his anger, and answered the phone.

"Hello, Chief."

The "Chief" generally refers to the strongest among the Four Heavenly Kings, distinguishing him from the other Four Heavenly Kings. It also signifies that he is the strongest person in a region, besides the champion, as officially recognized.

Yu Haoran listened to the voice on the other end of the phone with a dark expression, his hand holding the phone trembling slightly.

Xia Yu and Long Yanning both looked at Yu Haoran, and it took a full ten minutes for the call to end.

Yu Haoran glared at Xia Yu, his eyes blazing with barely concealed anger and hatred: "Fine, very well."

"Bang?"

After saying that, Yu Haoran kicked the door open, venting his anger on it, and left the incubation room without looking back. The fat supervisor watching this scene felt his scalp tingle, unsure whether to leave or stay.

"We'll install your Pokémon eggs right away." The fat manager gave a smile that looked more like a grimace.

Xia Yu didn't regret offending Yu Haoran, because there were only so many resources. If you didn't fight for them, you couldn't just give them away to someone else.

From the moment he decided to become a trainer, he had to compete with others.

…………

After obtaining the Pokémon eggs, Xia Yu and Long Yanning rushed back to the Dragon-type Secret Realm in the capital city without even having a meal. For safety reasons, Long Yanning specially asked Long Fan to contact a Champion-level trainer in Chang'an City to escort the two of them.

By the time the two returned to the Dragon-type Secret Realm in the Imperial Capital and placed the elf egg into the incubation room, it was already 9 p.m. The two, who had been starving all afternoon and night, were ravenous.

"Teacher Long, thank you. It's so late, let me treat you to dinner," Xia Yu said politely, and then asked, "By the way, Teacher Long, is it true that the Dragon King took me as his disciple?"

"It's true. Your grandfather agreed too." Long Yanning didn't hide anything from Xia Yu, after all, becoming a disciple required the person's consent: "What, you don't want to?"

"How could I? No, thank you for your kindness, Dragon King." Xia Yu naturally wouldn't refuse such a good thing. The Dragon King is so powerful; having such a master is simply wonderful. "Then, Teacher Dragon, are you my senior sister?"

"Yes." Long Yanning glanced at Xia Yu, then led him to the cafeteria's noodle shop: "Two bowls of noodles, please."

"Senior Sister Long, I'll treat you to a big meal, don't just eat noodles," Xia Yu said. Long Fan and Long Yan Ning had helped him a lot, especially Long Yan Ning, who had accompanied him on a long trip today. Xia Yu felt bad about only treating her to noodles.

"Maybe next time. You're so tired today, you should go back and get some rest," Long Yanning refused.

"Ok."

Soon, the steaming hot noodles were ready, and the two, who had been hungry for a long time, devoured them.

…………

Xia Yu has been incredibly busy lately, from developing corresponding animations for Z-Moves to creating his own Z-Crystal, to his older brother's wedding, and finally choosing a pseudo-legendary Pokémon. For the past ten days or so, Xia Yu has been working non-stop, and only now has he finally been able to relax and return to a normal life.

Lying in bed, Xia Yu felt physically and mentally exhausted. After chatting with her friend Wu Yaozu for a bit and replying to some messages from other friends, she went to sleep early.

the next day.

As dawn broke, Xia Yu, full of energy, got up early and first went to check on Draco Messia's Pokémon egg before taking his three Pokémon to his morning exercise.

After finishing his two-hour morning exercise, Xia Yu went to the cafeteria for lunch, but overheard people around him whispering about something.

"Have you heard? It seems that the Shiny Aegislash has been captured."

"It seems to have been captured by a trainer from Japan. The Dusknoir was captured by a trainer from the Pokémon Association. I heard there was a conflict that broke out and people died."

"A month later, the Pokémon Association finally caught the two evil Pokémon."

"Finally, I can go shopping this weekend! I've been so bored!"

…………

Xia Yu frowned slightly as he ate breakfast and flipped through the news. Just yesterday, the two evil Pokémon in the capital were finally captured.
