"A shiny pseudo-legendary Pokémon? That's quite rare!" Long Fan looked at the golden Dragapult, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He then looked at Xia Yu and said, "Take the little guy back and remember to raise him well. And most importantly, don't show him to anyone before your Dragapult evolves, and don't leave the secret realm alone."

Long Fan looked at the shiny Dragapult, and a hint of greed flashed through his mind. Even someone of his caliber would still be tempted by a shiny pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

However, Long Fan's greed was fleeting. After taking Xia Yu as his disciple, he regarded him as the true successor. As his master, he naturally could not keep this pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

Long Yan Ning was also surprised to see the Dragon Messiah. With this Dragon Messiah, Xia Yu's future achievements would be even greater, and she couldn't help but feel happy.

"It's nice to meet you, little guy." Xia Yu looked at the adorable Dragapult and put it into his Poké Ball.

"Let's go back to class," Long Fan said.

"Ah."

…………

Another day has passed in the blink of an eye. It's Saturday, and the move learning class is here again. Today, Long Yanning will teach the Dragon Pulse skill, and Xia Yu naturally won't miss it.

With Teacher Long teaching him the Dragon Pulse move, Xia Yu can now legitimately teach all Pokémon except Dragapult the Dragon Pulse move.

Long Yanning continued to explain while having Noivern demonstrate. This time, Xia Yu wasn't listening very attentively, only focusing on the application of Dragon Pulse in actual combat. As for how to use it, he completely ignored it; with a TM, he could directly learn the Dragon Pulse skill.

The morning passed quickly.

Xia Yu doesn't plan to go home this week. After calling his grandparents, he will stay in the Dragon's Secret Realm for special training. He must seize every minute to increase his strength as quickly as possible.

Just then, Long Fan called: "I'll be going on a business trip soon. If you need any help, you can contact Yan Ning."

"Hmm." Since the evil Pokémon in the capital was captured, Long Fan no longer had to guard the secret realm all the time, and would occasionally go out on missions.

…………

Chapter 97 The Story of Xu Xiu

Long Fan's departure was not simple. As one of the top combat forces in China, his every move affected everyone's nerves. However, this time Long Fan left suddenly and secretly. Except for a few people, no one knew that Long Fan had left the Dragon System Secret Realm. They still thought that he was guarding the Dragon System Secret Realm.

Moreover, Long Fan not only left, but also took Long Yan Ning's Staff Tail Scaled Dragon Z and the newly developed Z Power Bracelet with him. With two Z Pure Crystals in hand, Long Fan is definitely a walking weapon of mass destruction.

Long Fan's target this time is the Goddess Mountain Range, the world's highest peak. News just received from the Pokémon Association has confirmed that an entire population of Styracoids lives within the mountain range. The appearance of this Styracoid population has stirred up many foreign powers and underground organizations like the Dawn Society. Long Fan's secret journey to the Goddess Mountain Range is aimed at both taking down the Styracoid population and striking at the Dawn Society.

Last time, the Dawn Society kidnapped the Pokémon Association's Gible, causing the Pokémon Association heavy losses. This time, the Pokémon Association is naturally going all out to settle old scores and new grudges.

To ensure the mission's success, in addition to Long Fan, the Alliance has arranged for another Ice-type Heavenly King from the Northeast region to accompany them on this trip to the Goddess Mountains. (The name hasn't been decided yet; brothers, hurry up and sign up!)

…………

Xia Yu was naturally unaware of the major events happening in China. His strength was still too weak, even among his peers, let alone compared to these veteran Elite Four level trainers.

Although he has a limitless future, he is still too weak at present. However, now, Xia Yu has a sliver of a chance to change his fate.

That is, the Ghost-type core power of the Punishment Pot can greatly accelerate the growth of Ghost-type Pokémon. Normally, pseudo-legendary Pokémon like Dragapult would need 5 to 8 years to fully grow up.

It's extremely rare for someone like Xu Xiu to raise a Tyranitar to the Elite Four level in just three years. No one knows what Xu Xiu went through or what price he paid during those three years.

In fact, many people online have given high praise and expressed regret for Xu Xiu, because people like Xu Xiu represent the most authentic portrayal of ordinary people in this world.

He came from humble beginnings, but he was tenacious and persevered, climbing up from the bottom step by step. During this time, he changed his main Pokémon one after another. His original starter Pokémon had to be sent back to his hometown because of its limited aptitude. Finally, when he was thirty-eight years old, he reached the level of a near-Elite Four member.

For many scions of powerful families, reaching the Quasi-Heavenly King level is something that can be achieved simply by growing slowly and without much effort. However, for someone like Xu Xiu from a humble background, it requires twenty years of hard work.

Even so, after reaching the Elite Four level, he saw no hope of advancing to the Elite Four level. He appeared quite ordinary among the trainers who were close to Elite Four level, and there were many young people who were younger and more outstanding than him.

He worked hard to complete the mission, but he could only get the qualification to select a Pokémon egg once every few years. Moreover, if he could not select a Pokémon egg with the potential of a Champion, he would have to wait for several more years. His life was stuck in this way, and he could not see any hope of advancing to the Champion level.

After seven years of hard work and diligence, the forty-five-year-old Xu Xiu finally made up his mind after seeing a member of a powerful family easily obtain a Tyranitar's Pokémon egg.

In this life, one should go against the current.

My name is Xu Xiu, meaning all things are over.

Xu Xiu, who had always appeared honest and diligent in front of outsiders, completely erupted. He used Zoroark to lure the Zhao family's Elite Four-level trainer away, then ruthlessly slaughtered the entire Zhao family and took away the Elite Four-level Tyranitar's Pokémon egg.

Many people say that if the association had given the Tyranitar's Pokémon egg to Xu Xiu, the association might have gained another loyal subordinate.

…………

We've strayed from the topic. Let's get back to the main point. Normally, pseudo-legendary Pokémon take about five years to grow up with full training, but now that time will be greatly shortened.

Xia Yu released Dragapult from its Poké Ball. Dragapult is incredibly weak right now. Before evolving into Dragapult, Dragapult cannot learn any moves as its strength increases. It can only learn moves through tutorials and TMs. That's why Dragapult is considered the weakest pseudo-legendary Pokémon in the early game.

However, after evolving into Dragapult, its strength increases dramatically, making it one of the most powerful and well-rounded Pokémon in terms of overall combat strength.

It can be used to fight enemies with dual swords, or to break through walls and provide support.

Xia Yu stroked the little head of Dorgonmesia and fed it some Moo Moo Milk and Energy Cubes. After it had eaten most of it, Xia Yu took out the Punishment Jar.

As soon as the Judgment Pot appeared, Draco Messia became extremely excited, as if it had smelled something. It pounced on the Judgment Pot, clinging to it and greedily absorbing the Ghost-type core energy emanating from it.

Dorgonmesia's strength is too weak now. He only absorbed a little bit, but his body began to tremble slightly, showing great excitement.

"Little guy, grow up quickly."

Xia Yu looked at Doromisia, very curious about how fast it would grow with the help of the Ghost-type core energy inside the Judgment Pot.

…………

The weekend is almost over, and Monday is here.

Long Yanning announced that starting this month, a training camp competition will be held every month, and the top three winners will have the opportunity to enter the Dragon-type Secret Realm Forbidden Area for training.

This is the rule of every training camp. Xia Yu was not excited about the reward at all, because he could go to the forbidden area to cultivate every night. Besides, with his current strength, he was at the bottom of the class and could not make it into the top three.

"The competition is an elimination tournament, 1V1 singles. Each person can only use one Pokémon, and the use of any items is prohibited. Only Dragon-type Pokémon can be used in the competition." Long Yanning simply announced the rules, and then announced the competition schedule.

Xia Yu's first opponent was none other than his old acquaintance, Su Muzi, which made Xia Yu suspect that Teacher Long had done it on purpose. Su Muzi was among the top three in the training camp, while Xia Yu currently only had one Dragon-type Pokémon, Nombat, and Su Muzi only had one Dragon-type Pokémon, Dragonair.

That Hakuryu was a top-tier powerhouse; a single Ice Beam would have won the match. Xia Yu glared at Long Yanning with a dark expression. He genuinely suspected that Long Yanning was doing it on purpose, that she wanted to see him get brutally beaten by Su Muzi. Xia Yu never imagined that Teacher Long had such a cunning side.

When Su Muzi saw that her opponent was Xia Yu, she smiled, walked to Xia Yu's side, put her hands behind her back, looked up at Xia Yu, and said cutely, "Xia Yu, I didn't expect that we would meet in the first round."

“Yeah,” Xia Yu replied irritably.

"Don't worry, I'll let you have your way," Su Muzi said with a smile.

"No need." Xia Yu shook his head. This wasn't an important match, so there was no need to give way. "Giving your all is the greatest respect you can show me. Let me see just how strong your ace, Hakron, really is."

"Alright." Su Muzi admired Xia Yu somewhat after hearing his words. Since Xia Yu said so, she naturally wouldn't hold back anymore.

…………

Chapter 98 Su Muzi's Trump Card

On the competition field, because it was only a 1V1 match, the battles were very quick, and each match ended in just a few minutes.

Soon it was Xia Yu's turn to compete against Su Muzi. Xia Yu released his only Dragon-type Pokémon available at the moment, Nombat. Dragapult was not yet available, so Xia Yu's only choice was Nombat.

Su Muzi was no exception; she used her powerful Hakuryu.

"Xia Yu versus Su Muzi. The match begins." Long Yanning, acting as the referee, glanced at Xia Yu and Su Muzi and announced the start of the match.

"Hakuron uses electromagnetic waves!"

After communicating with Xia Yu, Su Muzi naturally decided to go all out. Although no matter how she fought, Xia Yu's chance of winning was zero, Su Muzi still very steadily had Hakuryu use electromagnetic waves to paralyze the Nombat while slowing it down.

The vast difference in strength meant that Hakron's electromagnetic waves unsurprisingly hit the Buzzbat, successfully paralyzing it.

"Buzzing Bat, Shadow Clone!" Xia Yu naturally couldn't stand idly by. Even though he was no match for them, he had to go all out.

First of all, the ultrasonic wave skill definitely wouldn't hit Dragonair, so Xia Yu chose to have Nombat use the Shadow Clone skill to create several clones and reduce the chance of being hit.

Despite being paralyzed, the buzzing bat struggled to use its shadow clone technique, enduring the numbness in its body.

Seeing the four or five buzzing bat figures appear in the air, Su Muzi remained expressionless. With her extensive combat knowledge, she handled the situation with ease. Without any hesitation, she directly ordered Dragonair to use the Tornado move: "Dragonair, Tornado!"

The dragon-attribute energy burst forth, forming a tornado that swept up all four or five buzzing bats in the air, giving them no chance to escape.

The storm raged, and after the tornado subsided, Buzzbat had fallen to the ground, exhausted and unconscious.

"The match is over. Su Muzi is the winner." Long Yanning announced the result expressionlessly.

Xia Yu had already anticipated this outcome. With the strength of this Dragonite, a top-tier creature, it was one of the best in the training camp. To be honest, the extra electromagnetic wave move he used at the beginning was a waste.

How to fight this?

If Xia Yu were given a Lord-level opponent, he might be able to put up a fight and last a couple of moves, at least he wouldn't lose so humiliatingly. But against Su Muzi's Hakuryu, Xia Yu has absolutely no chance.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu looked at Long Yanning in the center of the arena with a resentful expression. He could vaguely see that the corners of Long Yanning's mouth seemed to be slightly upturned, as if she was happy to see Xia Yu get the short end of the stick.

Long Yanning did indeed arrange this match on purpose because she suspected that the two were dating. She thought that if Xia Yu, as a boy, was inferior to a girl in this match, he would feel ashamed and then be motivated to train harder.

Long Yanning went to great lengths to get Xia Yu to fully commit to becoming a trainer. However, what she didn't know was that Xia Yu had already developed a thick skin. This little thing was no blow to him at all. If you deleted his Douyin (TikTok) account, that would be a real blow.
