Pokémon: Master System.

The crescent moon hung in the sky as Xu Xiu, Gong Ye Ranjin, and the middle-aged man Lin Bo walked through the cemetery. Snowflakes drifted down from the sky, carpeting the ground with white.

Lin Bo is a registered Fighting-type Elite Four level trainer with the Pokémon Association, but embarrassingly, he only has one Elite Four level Pokémon, making him relatively weak among the many Elite Four level trainers in the capital.

Of course, if he wanted, with his status as a Champion-level trainer, he could go to a small place and become a king. But water flows downhill and people strive for higher positions. He still prefers to stay in the capital, after all, there are more opportunities in the capital, a city with an actual population of over 6000.

"After searching for so long, we've finally found it." Lin Bo's face showed undisguised joy. He had thought it would take one or two months to find it, but he found its location in just one week: "It should be buried here."

The three of them spoke in hushed tones as they looked toward the grave before them.

"This is the tomb. I've already found out. There's nothing engraved on the tombstone except for a poem," Xu Xiu said calmly.

"Open it."

The three summoned their Pokémon, dug up the grave, and looked at the golden coffin under the tombstone. Lin Bo couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, his face showing excitement. He had finally found it, and the dark clouds hanging over his head had finally dissipated.

If the Heavenly King keeps his promise, my strength will definitely reach a new level.

Lin Bo couldn't help but fantasize about the wonderful life after completing the mission.

As the golden coffin lid was slowly lifted, a skeleton and various rare treasures appeared before the three of them.

Just as Lin Bo was immersed in great joy, the sharp-eyed Xu Xiu suddenly noticed something was wrong. There was a small amount of yellow soil inside the coffin, and even the clothes worn by the skeleton were stained with mud.

Under normal circumstances, coffins are sealed, and there is absolutely no possibility of soil inside unless someone has moved the coffin or opened the coffin lid. Otherwise, it is impossible for soil to seep into the coffin.

At this moment, Lin Bo couldn't wait to step forward and start searching. As he made noises while searching, his expression gradually became anxious and restless, and he became panicked and agitated.

"No! How could there be nothing?!" Lin Bo's expression turned hysterical. The Punishment Jar should have been in the coffin, so why was there nothing there?

Xu Xiu watched this scene coldly from the side. He sneered inwardly at Lin Bo's anxious appearance, but he couldn't help feeling a little worried as Lin Bo's emotions gradually spiraled out of control.

“We’ve found the coffin for you, but if the contents are missing, that’s not our problem.” Xu Xiu was afraid that the crazed Lin Bo would cause him trouble, so he quickly distanced himself. Lin Bo was acting like a mad dog, and he didn’t want to get entangled with him. He reminded him, “If you look closely, you’ll see that there’s a little bit of mud in the coffin, and even the clothes on this skeleton are dirty. It’s obvious that someone found the contents before us.”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Lin Bo kept muttering to himself. He couldn't accept this reality at all. He should have found it, so how could the Judgment Pot be missing? "No one would have this list. This list is absolutely confidential. Apart from those few people, it's impossible for anyone to get this list."

After a moment, Lin Bo suddenly calmed down. He turned around and looked at Xu Xiu with coldness in his eyes and undisguised killing intent.

"I see."

“Very good, you Dawn Society are double-crossing me, right? You find a clue, come and collect the goods first, then notify me. You want the goods, and you want the reward too. Very good.”

Hearing Lin Bo's words, Xu Xiu felt a headache coming on. This Lin Bo was a complete mad dog, biting anyone he could get his hands on, and it never stopped!

"I'm warning you!" A sinister glint flashed in Lin Bo's eyes, his gaze revealing a desperate intent: "Hand over the stuff."

"Are you crazy! How could we possibly take what you're asking for?" Xu Xiu said calmly. "I don't want to say anything more to you. We've already found the person, and the loss of the item is none of our business."

"No! No one can leave until we get the item." Lin Bo took out a Poké Ball, his expression one of desperate determination. Just then, a voice suddenly came from afar.

"Who's there!" It turned out that the security guard on duty had heard the noise and rushed over.

"what!"

Before the security guard even entered, his screams erupted as a massive crystal chandelier spirit ignited his body, engulfing him in flames and burning him to ashes.

“The bystanders have been dealt with.” Crystal Lamp Spirit flew back to Gong Ye Ranjin’s side. She looked at Lin Bo and said, “Xu Xiu is right. We have never been here. If you really want to find that thing, why don’t you check who has been to Yunxiang Village recently? If you still don’t believe me, then go ahead and do it.”

As Lin Bo listened to Gong Ye Ranjin's words, he gradually came to his senses. Looking at Xu Xiu and Gong Ye Ranjin, his expression was extremely ugly. Yes, what qualifications did he have to fight against Xu Xiu and Gong Ye Ranjin?

Xu Xiu possesses a King-level Banjiras.

Miyano Ranjin possesses the Heavenly King-level Crystal Lamp Spirit and the Shining Shield Sword Monster.

He was no match for either of them. After calming down, Lin Bo seriously considered their words, his expression solemn. Yunxiang Village was a famous tourist attraction in the vicinity, receiving a huge number of tourists every week. If they were to investigate one by one, it would take forever.

How to do?

This thing is extremely important. Only by obtaining the Judgment Jar can we use its Dark-type energy core to lure Darkrai! How am I supposed to go back and tell him about this?

Lin Bo looked dazed. He gritted his teeth, his gaze shifting between Xu Xiu and Gong Yeranjin: "I will go back and report this matter. If this matter really has nothing to do with you, then let it go. But if you really did this, I guarantee that even the Dawn Society will not be able to protect you."

"Whatever." Hearing Lin Bo's threat, Xu Xiu felt annoyed. He didn't want to have any more contact with Lin Bo and just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible to avoid being bothered by this scoundrel again.

Chapter 129 Forest Lizard (1)

It was the weekend again, and Xia Yu was once again acting as the defending trainer in the Dragon-type Gym. However, unlike last time, Xia Yu had changed from an elite-level defending trainer to a lord-level defending trainer, and his opponent had also become a stronger lord-level trainer.

This is because after the Forest Lizard broke through to the Lord level, Xia Yu, who possessed a Lord-level Pokémon, automatically became a Lord-level Trainer.

The change in trainer level is a difficult challenge for Xia Yu's winning streak. In battles against elite trainers, he has three elite Pokémon: Grovyle, Charmeleon, and Nombat, which should allow him to easily defeat his opponents.

However, when he becomes a Lord-level Trainer, he only has a Forest Lizard that has just entered the Lord level, along with an Elite Charmander and a Noctua. Even though his Pokémon are exceptionally talented, the opponents he faces may all be at the peak of the Lord level or even reach the near-Overlord level. It would be quite difficult for Xia Yu to win.

All they could do was try their best; Xia Yu had already prepared for the worst.

…………

"Here he comes, Xia Yu is here."

"It's finally here. There are many elite-level experts on the field waiting to fight him and break his winning streak."

"Huh, why is he defending the arena at the Lord level?"

…………

Last week, Xia Yu's ten-game winning streak spread among elite trainers. Many elite trainers heard that there was such a master in the Dragon-type Gym with a ten-game winning streak, and that he even won the game against Li Wenkai with a big advantage of 1 to 3.

Many people are paying close attention to the sudden appearance of this powerful figure, and are looking forward to a duel with Xia Yu and ending his winning streak.

That's how the trainer community in the capital is. Once someone rises to fame and achieves a winning streak, many skilled players will immediately emerge to challenge them. There are only two possible outcomes: either they dominate everyone and maintain their winning streak, or their winning streak is broken.

In the capital, there are very few trainers who can defeat everyone and win all the way. It might only happen once every ten years. No one is optimistic about Xia Yu, especially since he has broken through to the Lord level.

"His forest lizard must have broken through to the lord level."

"No wonder."

"His winning streak should be over now."

…………

Many of the onlookers in the crowd carried Pokémon with elite-level combat power, but they hadn't prepared any Lord-level Pokémon, so they came up empty-handed this time.

In the audience, Wu Qianshan and Long Yanning sat together, both watching Xia Yu intently.

"Xia Yu is very popular. Many people arrived early today, hoping to spar with him. They just didn't expect him to become a Lord-level Trainer," Wu Qianshan said with a smile. "Junior Sister, do you think Xia Yu can maintain a perfect record today?"

"I don't know." Long Yanning looked at Xia Yu in the training field and shook her head. Actually, she really hoped that Xia Yu could maintain his winning streak. She had seen Xia Yu's hard work. Hard work pays off, and she hoped that Xia Yu could continue his winning streak: "But I hope he can win."

"Really? I don't think he can." Wu Qianshan looked confident: "Lord-level trainers are the top tier of students in the High School Cup. There are quite a few true masters among them. Some of these young people are considered exceptionally talented by us. Their Lord-level Pokémon are almost at the king level in their respective categories. I wouldn't be a match for them at the same level. Although the strongest group of people didn't come today, there are still quite a few powerful Lord-level trainers. Xia Yu is no match for them."

"Let's take a look," Long Yanning said.

…………

Xia Yu stood on the field and soon faced his first opponent, a girl who was wearing a thick down jacket and was about 1.6 meters tall. She looked rather cute.

"In Arena 8, Lord-level Trainer Xu Xueyu will face off against Lord-level defending Trainer Xia Yu. The rules of the match will be chosen by Xu Xueyu."

“我选择1V1单打。”徐雪玉倒是知道夏羽目前登记在道馆内的只有一只领主级的森林蜥蜴，倒是没有故意占夏羽便宜选择2V2或者3V3。

Even so, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Xia Yu only has one Pokémon, Grovyle. If someone is determined to target him, Xia Yu will be a tough opponent.

"The match begins!" With the referee's command, both sides sent out their Pokémon for the battle.

"Go, Forest Lizard!" Xia Yu naturally sent out his ace Pokémon, Forest Lizard, while Xu Xueyu dispatched her Pokémon, Snowflake. (See image above!)

Snowflake is a common Pokémon in snow-capped mountains and extremely cold regions, but quite rare elsewhere. Most importantly, Snowflake is one of the few social Pokémon. Although it doesn't have any evolved forms, this doesn't diminish its power.

Xu Xueyu's geometric snowflake is also large in size and crystal clear in color. Its height is slightly shorter than Xu Xueyu's, about 1.4 meters, which is relatively large among geometric snowflakes.

A Pokémon that reaches the Lord level in strength means it is a lord in the wild. To become a Lord Pokémon, most Pokémon are much larger than normal Pokémon, as size often represents strength. Of course, Psychic Pokémon like Alakazam and Slowking are exceptions.

"Geometric Snowflake! Light Wall skill!"

In Pokémon battles at the Lord level, there are almost always mature tactical systems. In addition to the Pokémon's own strength, the selection and timing of skill usage are equally important. At the same time, the use of items is also allowed in this level of competition.

The battles at the three levels—common, rare, and elite—are more like children playing around.

The competitions at the three levels starting from the Lord level, then the Overlord level, and finally the Dojo Master level are more rigorous and standardized. In addition to the chief referee, there are also safety officers protecting the audience and assistant referees. At the same time, the dojos are equipped with video recorders to provide pay-per-view services for some of the most popular fighters' matches.

…………

At the start of the match, Xu Xueyu instructed Geometric Snowflake to use the Light Wall skill immediately. The Light Wall skill is a transformation skill among superpower skills and is usually carried together with the Reflect Wall skill.

The Light Wall effect creates a magical light wall that reduces the damage from special attacks.

The effect of the Reflective Wall is to create a magical light wall that reduces physical damage taken.

Pokémon that possess both of these skills are also known as screen breakers, as they can use screen breakers to ensure the survival of attackers or create opportunities for them to stat boosts.

Generally, wall breakers will choose to carry the item Light Clay, which can extend the duration of reflective walls and light walls.

Xia Yu used the system to detect that the geometric snowflake was carrying the clay of light. Seeing that the opponent had activated the light wall, he knew that the first battle might be a fierce one. So he had the forest lizard release the grass field, preparing for a protracted battle.

"Forest lizards, grassy fields."

As Xia Yu's voice faded, the Forest Lizard released Grassy Terrain, altering the terrain. In the first round, neither side rushed to attack, opting instead to use alteration skills to assess the situation.

"Geometric snowflakes, reflective walls."

Hearing Xu Xueyu's command, Xia Yu, who had already seen the Geometric Snowflake skill, was not surprised, but he would never let Geometric Snowflake open up the double wall so easily.

"Forest lizard, use the grass flute!"
