Pokémon: Master System.

Xia Yu continued to post online offering to buy stones, and increased the amount he was willing to pay. He believed that a generous reward would surely attract brave men, and that some warriors would eventually find the Mega Evolution Stones he needed.

After doing all this, Xia Yu finally had time to check the two tasks in the system.

The first task is obviously to lead Xia Yu down a single path to his death, making him a lonely dragon master. Given the system's nature, this task is quite ruthless.

The second task is relatively easy; although it requires collecting all eighteen attributes, it is much easier than the first one.

Which mission should I choose? Xia Yu pondered, stroking his chin.

"If only I could see the rewards for each branch of the quest," Xia Yu thought to himself.

After pondering for a moment, Xia Yu ultimately chose the second task, mainly for the following three reasons.

The first reason is that the All-Type Master quest doesn't have restrictions on catching Pokémon. This avoids situations where Xia Yu encounters a powerful Pokémon but can't catch it due to type issues. For example, with the Cottonball Xia Yu encountered, if it weren't for the Dragon-type Master quest restriction, he could have caught it for himself instead of giving it away. A Cottonball with the Prankster ability would be crucial for strengthening Xia Yu's team.

Xia Yu's team currently consists of physical attackers Salamence and Axew, and special attackers Charizard and Nombat. Dragapult and Sceptile are considered dual attackers.

The offensive capabilities are sufficient, but there's not a single physical or special defense shield. The only support is Noibat, which is only partially functional. If Xia Yu continues to catch Dragon-type Pokémon, his team composition will face serious problems. Everyone in the team will be a main damage dealer; who will provide support?

The second reason is that pure Dragon-type Pokémon have too many limitations in battles, especially in the High School Cup. If he encounters a Pokémon that specializes in Fairy-type, Xia Yu will not have any way to counter it. He still hasn't gotten his hands on Duraludon or Algae Dragon. Without the advantage of Poison and Steel types, it will be really difficult for him to deal with Fairy-type Pokémon.

Furthermore, it's important to know that Fairy-type is the second most popular type in battles, after Steel-type.

Finally, and most importantly, Xia Yu is a loyal Steel-type Pokémon fan. If it weren't for the system's limitations, he would definitely have become a Steel-type Pokémon trainer. Now that he finally has the opportunity to return to the embrace of Steel-type Pokémon, how could he possibly let it go?

Metagross Monster Hu Hansan is back! I was forced to abandon you before due to circumstances. But now, I'm back with six Dragon-type Pokémon, the God of War, and it's time for me to lend you a hand in dealing with Fairy Pokémon!

And so Xia Yu decisively chose mission two!

"Choose quest branch two, All-Attribute Master, and receive 50 [All-Powerful Crystal Fragments] as a reward."

【Universal Crystal Shard】: After collecting 50 Universal Crystal Shards, you can change the Crystal type of a Pokémon to any type.

"Unlock new system features to view Pokémon Crystal attributes."

"Master of All Attributes, current quest progress: 5/18".

"Mission progress reward: Collect all 6 types of Pokémon, and you will be rewarded with one self-charging Crystal."

【Tai Crystal Bead】: Allows a Pokémon to undergo Tai Crystal transformation. Each use requires 12 hours to recharge or to recharge the Tai Crystal energy.

"Collect all 12 types of Pokémon to receive the TM for Crystal Burst and a certain number of Crystal Shards (enough for each Pokémon to perform a Crystal type change)."

【Crystal Burst】: A Normal-type special move. When used by a Crystallized Pokémon, Crystal Burst changes to the same type as Crystallized and deals damage based on the Pokémon's higher Attack or Special Attack. Specifically, a Special Attack Pokémon deals Special Attack damage, and an Attack Pokémon deals Physical Attack damage.

"Collect all 18 types of Pokémon, what's the reward???"

Looking at the dense array of rewards, Xia Yu felt for the first time that this damn system was unusually generous. Not to mention that the system directly rewarded him with 50 universal crystal fragments after he selected the task, the reward of collecting six different attribute crystal beads was just too extravagant.

Of course, the rewards for collecting Pokémon of all 12 types are also quite generous. Xia Yu gave the system a rare thumbs up, thinking that the system had finally become human.

Seizing the opportunity, Xia Yu checked the attribute panels of his six Pokémon. His Nombu's potential had increased to near-champion level, and its Crystallizer type was now Flying-type. (Here's a brief introduction to Crystallizer.)

Crystal type is a type that is independent of the Pokémon's own type.

For example, the Buzzbat has both Flying and Dragon attributes, and its Crystallized attribute is Flying.

After it crystallizes, Nombat will be calculated as a single-type Flying-type on the defensive end, meaning its 4x weakness to Ice will become 2x weakness to Ice. On the offensive end, Nombat's Dragon-type moves will remain unchanged, still benefiting from the STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) and still dealing 1.5x damage. However, when using Flying-type moves, the STAB will increase, turning 1.5x damage into 2x damage.

The Lizard King's aptitude has been upgraded to Champion level, and its Crystallization attribute has become Grass.

Charmeleon's aptitude has been upgraded to Champion level, and its crystallization attribute has become Fire.

Dorgonmesia's aptitude has been raised to near-Master level, and his Crystallization attribute has become Dragon.

Ya Ya's aptitude has been upgraded to champion level, and its crystallization attribute has become dragon attribute.

Baby Dragon's aptitude has been upgraded to Champion level, and its crystallization attribute has become Dragon attribute.

Baby Dragon

Gender: male

Attribute: dragon

Taijing Attribute: Dragon

Qualification: Champion level

Combat strength: Ordinary level

Skills: Spark, Gaze, Round, Dragon Dance, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Rage, Dragon Dive, Hold On, Fire Fang, Water Cannon, Rampage, Tornado, Bite

After reviewing the stats of all his Pokémon, Xia Yu began to consider who should use the precious Universal Crystal Shard.

First of all, it is not difficult to see that the Crystallize type is the primary type of each of Xia Yu's Pokémon, and the Crystallize type has only two main effects.

One way is to avoid weaknesses by crystallizing. For example, changing the crystallizing attribute of the Nocturne to Steel will make its original weakness to Ice (4x weaker) disappear.

Secondly, damage can be increased through crystallization. For example, if Noibat's crystallization type is changed to Normal, when it uses the Normal-type special move Sonic Wave with a power of 140, it will enjoy a 1.5x damage bonus based on its own type, directly increasing the power to 210.

After thinking for a long time, Xia Yu decided to give the first Universal Crystal Fragment to Buzz Bat. Since Buzz Bat was Xia Yu's current weakness, he naturally did not hesitate to strengthen Buzz Bat and changed its Crystal attribute to a normal attribute.

After doing all this, Xia Yu lay on the bed, feeling excited as he thought about how he had finally collected all six Dragon-type Pokémon, and began to imagine his bright future.

Metagross, Scizor, Lucario, Excadrill, Cyclops, here I come...

Chapter 155 Mahuola

(The time machine in the previous text has been corrected; the Paradox Pokémon that were transported back were at least Totem-level in strength.)

…………

What Xia Yu didn't know was that a major upheaval had occurred within the Pokémon Association because of the attacks on the Dragon-type and Ground-type Secret Realms.

A fierce conflict erupted between the young and upright Elite Four, including Sumu, and the old and corrupt Elite Four. As a result, the decadent Pokémon Association is about to face a purge.

Xia Yu only heard about the attack on the ground-type secret realm when he returned to the Lin family. It is said that Xu Xiu launched the attack just 7 minutes after the attack on the dragon-type secret realm.

No one expected Xu Xiu to be so bold. Taking advantage of the weakened defenses inside the Ground-type Secret Realm, he led his Tyranitar to directly attack the Ground-type Secret Realm.

Xu Xiu easily defeated the Elite Rank trainers who remained in the secret realm with an overwhelming force, according to the trainers present in the secret realm.

Xu Xiu's Tyranitar was extremely powerful, reaching the peak of the Elite Four level and only one step away from the near-Champion level.

The good news is that Xu Xiu did not go on a killing spree this time, or rather, apart from wiping out the entire Zhao family, there has been no news of him killing anyone else.

Xu Xiu simply stole a large number of Pokémon eggs, especially those of Diglett, Claydot, and Hippopotamus, as well as some eggs like Trapinch. (See above image)

It's clear that after acquiring Tyranitar, the core weather setter of the Sandstorm team, Xu Xiu wanted to switch from a Dark-type team to a Sandstorm team. Among them, Excadrill, the evolved form of Screwpod, is undoubtedly the core attacker of the Sandstorm team, and Hippowdon, the evolved form of Hippowdon, is also another weather setter of the Sandstorm team.

With the addition of these two Pokémon, Xu Xiu's strength will increase dramatically once they grow up.

However, all of this was irrelevant to Xia Yu. With his current strength, he was no match for Xu Xiu, nor could he concern himself with Xu Xiu's affairs. But Xia Yu believed that one day he would face Xu Xiu. Right now, his only task was to seize the time and continuously improve his strength.

…………

The next morning, Long Yanning arrived at the Lin family early and went to the Dragon-type Gym with Xia Yu for practical training.

On one hand, Charmeleon is about to evolve, and it needs a thrilling battle to stimulate its evolution. On the other hand, as Xia Yu's own Pokémon successively reach the Lord level, Xia Yu has the idea of ​​trying to achieve a winning streak again. The last time he stopped at fifteen consecutive wins, although the reward was good, it was all earned by sacrificing Wu Yaozu's lifelong solitude.

This time, he must rely on his own strength to achieve even more consecutive victories.

Upon arriving at the Dragon-type Gym, Xia Yu overheard the people around him discussing what had happened the previous day.

Clearly, the attacks on the Dragon-type and Ground-type domains one after the other have caused the Pokémon Association to lose face, leading to widespread public questioning of the association's strength and a barrage of criticism online.

The Pokémon Association makes so much money and collects so much tax, yet they only have this level of combat power. And this is in the capital city, where the Dawn Society easily took two of their secret realms.

The intense anger from the public, coupled with the loss of two secret realms, finally triggered a storm within the Pokémon Association, and a change was quietly about to begin.

Xia Yu never imagined that he would one day be involved in this transformation, but that's a story for another time. Now, he faces his first opponent on his winning streak: a young man using Weavile.

…………

Weavile is a standard speed attacker, fast, agile, and with high physical attack. Combined with its sharp claws, this makes Weavile seem like a fragile assassin.

Weavile is also one of the earliest dragon slayers in the game, and one of Xia Yu's favorite Pokémon.

I like it, but as more and more Pokémon are released, Weavile's performance in the game has become increasingly lackluster. In particular, its Dark/Ice dual-type is extremely weak, with a fourfold weakness to Fighting, and its fragile physique means it can be easily defeated with a single Rapid Punch in the game.

However, in reality, the agile Weavile is very powerful, and both Ice-type and Dark-type trainers love to catch one.

"Go, Charizard!"

"Go, Mavira!"

The golden Charmeleon, with a scarf around its neck, stared intently at the tiny Weavile with a fierce look in its eyes, full of fighting spirit.

It's just a tiny little thing, Longlong is easy for me to handle.

The opponent's Weavile had a fierce look in its eyes as it stared intently at Charmeleon. As a Dark-type Pokémon, it naturally exuded a sense of oppression.

It's clear that this Weavile's ability is Intimidate. In the game, Intimidate reduces the number of times the opponent can use skills, but in reality, Intimidate is completely different.

In reality, the oppressive characteristic makes enemies feel oppressed, thus affecting them and making their movement and attacks stiff and sluggish. The degree of influence is related to the difference in strength between the two sides and their personalities.

Weavile will be very effective against a timid Pokémon. Conversely, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced if it faces a brave Pokémon.

For example, right now, Weavile is facing a Charmeleon with a ruthless personality, and since the two are evenly matched, the Intimidate ability has very little effect.

"Mavila, high-five surprise attack!"

The young man's opening move immediately forced Weavile to use her High Five skill, one of the most annoying skills in the game. Although, like Headbutt, it can only be used upon entering the battle, it has extremely high priority and will cause the enemy to flinch, essentially making it a free attack.
