Pokémon: Master System.

"Beautiful!" She Yi in the commentary booth couldn't help but exclaim, both Xia Yu's choice and Beedrill's performance were quite brilliant.

Similarly, audiences love this kind of direct confrontation.

"Beedrill, use your deadly sting!" After the first strike was effective, Cai Panqiu pressed his advantage and continued to give the order.

Fatal Sting is one of the Bug-type's ultimate moves. Although its power isn't particularly impressive, it has an extremely strong effect: after defeating an enemy with Fatal Sting, it absorbs the enemy's power, greatly increasing the user's attack power for a period of time.

Cai Panqiu was greedy. He wanted Beedrill to defeat Charizard while greatly increasing its attack power to make it easier to deal with Xia Yu's next Pokémon. But how could Xia Yu let it have its way?

"Charizard, Hot Wind!"

Upon hearing Xia Yu's command, Charizard once again unleashed a scorching breath, directly covering the entire area in front of it and blocking Beedrill's path.

But Beedrill was not afraid at all. It charged through the area covered by hot air and headed straight for Charizard!

After the Beedrill burst out of the area covered by the hot air, flames were already rising from its body, indicating that it had suffered some more damage.

"Charizard, tail!"

Xia Yu suddenly gave the order, and the moment Beedrill burst out of the heat wave, Charizard, which had been waiting for a long time, twisted its body and swung its tail. The tail was covered with Dragon-type energy, and with a Dragon Tail, it successfully hit Beedrill!

The moment the dragon tail hit Beedrill, the enveloping dragon-type energy directly blasted Beedrill away, sending it back into its Poké Ball. At the same time, it forcibly pulled out Cai Panqiu's backup Pokémon, Scizor!

The sudden change of tactics caught everyone present off guard.

The Charizard on the Special Attack side suddenly used a Dragon Tail attack that was aimed at physical damage, catching Cai Panqiu completely off guard.

"Charizard, Hot Wind!"

After the dragon's tail, Xia Yu did not hesitate to have Charizard use the Heat Wave skill again, aiming at the Scizor that had just appeared!

"Scyther, use High Speed!" Only then did Cai Panqiu realize what was happening and quickly ordered Scyther to use High Speed ​​to try and avoid the hot air.

However, Charizard's speed in unleashing its heat was simply too fast. As the sixth member of the family, it and Xia Yu were completely in sync.

Charizard was preparing a hot air attack while using its tail, giving Scizor no chance to react.

The scorching heat instantly engulfed Scizor, scorching its red body and causing the newly arrived Scizor immense pain. With a four-fold weakness to fire, it was no match for the Heat Wave move, especially one with Sunny Day, its STAB, and the Solar Power ability.

The heatwave subsided, and the scyther lay motionless on the ground, clearly having lost all its strength.

"This... is so sudden." She Yi couldn't help but exclaim. Xia Yu's on-the-spot judgment was really too good. Even ordinary gym leader-level trainers could not do such a brilliant command: "If I were in this situation, it would be absolutely impossible for me not to think of using Dragon Tail to break the deadlock in such a short time."

"I was still marveling at how fast this Beedrill was, when Xia Yu suddenly pulled such a turn of events."

"With this, Cai Panqiu only has one heavily injured Beedrill left, while Xia Yu still has two Pokémon that haven't been used yet. Judging from the current situation, Xia Yu really has a good chance of defeating three of them at once."

"I feel that Xia Yu's Charizard can definitely be selected as one of the top ten highlights of the week for the Lord-level trainers with this Dragon Tail move!"

She Yi is still amazed by Xia Yu's command and reaction abilities.

Chapter 169 Yu Haoran

Beedrill makes another appearance, facing Charizard once again.

Under the blazing sun, Beedrill's crystal-clear wings vibrated incessantly, emitting a buzzing sound, while its pair of red eyes were locked onto Charizard.

Cai Panqiu knew his chances of winning were almost zero, but he was still trying his best to think of a way to deal with Charizard. Even if he couldn't beat Xia Yu, he would give it his all; as long as he could defeat one Charizard, he would consider it a success!

"Big Needle Bee, Sword Dance!"

It was the same familiar routine: Swords Dance as the starting move. This time, Xia Yu didn't let Charizard use Flamethrower; instead, he chose to use Heat Wave!

That said, Xia Yu discovered that the hot air skill was surprisingly useful in reality. Not only was its attack range wide, but its power was also outstanding, making it a wide-range skill with firepower coverage.

On the contrary, the fire-type signature move, Flamethrower, is not very effective, and enemies always dodge it in various strange ways.

Charizard exhaled scorching breath from its mouth, directly covering a large area in front of it. Any Beedrill that wanted to get close to Charizard would have to endure the scorching heat first.

"Drill straight!"

It was the same familiar routine: Beedrill raised its two needles, spun around, and charged straight at Charizard!

After quickly passing through the area covered by hot air, Beedrill used its twin stingers to stab Charizard.

"Charizard, Dragon Claw!"

Charizard's claws, covered in Dragon-type energy, were crossed in front of its chest, blocking Beedrill's Drill Rush.

"Now! Charizard, use Flamethrower!"

"Beedrill, use your stinger to release the straight drill!"

After Charizard used its claws to block Beedrill's attack, Xia Yu and Cai Panqiu gave the order almost simultaneously.

Flames were brewing in the Charizard's mouth, burning fiercely. It opened its mouth and spewed out flames, instantly engulfing the Beedrill.

At the same time, Beedrill's stinger was also covered with a large amount of Ground-type energy, and then it forcefully pierced Charizard's body with its stinger.

"Roar!" Charizard roared in pain.

Beedrill, enduring the scorching flames, thrust its stinger deep into Charizard's body. The flames continued to scorch Beedrill, while its stinger unleashed Ground-type abilities to damage Charizard.

Finally, after several seconds, Beedrill's fragile body could no longer withstand the high temperature from the flames, and it gradually lost consciousness, falling towards the ground.

Charizard was also severely injured at this time. Beedrill's final Drill Shot had also dealt a heavy blow to it, but it still had a sliver of strength left.

The referee, who was standing by, rushed over immediately.

"Beedrill is unable to battle, Charizard wins, Xia Yu wins this match."

As the referee's voice rang out, cheers erupted from the crowd!

…………

Xia Yu put away his Charizard and walked to the center of the arena with Cai Panqiu to shake hands.

"You're very strong, I accept my defeat wholeheartedly." Although he was unwilling to accept being defeated by Charizard in a three-on-one battle, Cai Panqiu still sincerely wished Xia Yu well: "I hope you can win the match this afternoon."

Xia Yu's gaze fell on Cai Panqiu. Although Cai Panqiu's Pokémon strength was a bit lacking, he had developed Beedrill's moves quite well. Whether it was Spinning Swords Dance to dodge moves or using Double Needle and Tail Sting simultaneously to unleash Drill Rush, it was much more powerful than most Beedrill.

In this respect, he is definitely a genius: "Your Pokémon is also very strong, but it suffers from its type and the weather."

That's the truth. In the rain, Charizard would never be able to defeat three opponents at once, and it would be difficult for it to even defeat two. But sometimes luck is also a part of strength.

At this point, Xia Yu lowered his voice: "Are you interested in working at the Xingguang City Gym in Xishu Province? I can write my dad a letter of recommendation for you to work at the Bug-type Gym. It won't affect your video creation. Here's my contact information... If you're interested, you can call me."

Upon hearing Xia Yu's words, Cai Panqiu's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Okay, thank you. I'll contact you after your competition. And I'll challenge you again next time. My ace Pokémon hasn't grown up yet this time, but I won't lose to you so easily next time."

Cai Panqiu does indeed have an ace Pokémon, but that Pokémon has only just hatched. Although it has high potential, its strength is only at the ordinary level. If that Pokémon grows up, it will definitely be able to fight against Xia Yu's Charizard.

"Your challenge is always welcome." Xia Yu showed no fear whatsoever. What if Cai Panqiu's strength had increased in the next battle? His own strength was also constantly improving.

Of Xia Yu's six Pokémon, only Charizard and Sceptile have reached their final forms; the other four Dragon-type Pokémon have not yet evolved into their final forms.

This is a common problem for Dragon-type trainers: they are weak in the early stages, but as time goes by, the strength of Dragon-type Pokémon only increases.

Of course, whether they can survive the initial phase is another question.

Noivern, Haxorus, Salamence, and Dragapult are all powerful Pokémon that become strong once they evolve into their final forms.

…………

After the morning's matches concluded, the exhibition matches and rest period began, and Xia Yu was backstage preparing for the afternoon's matches.

His opponent in the afternoon was Li Miao, a member of the Chang'an Dragon System Secret Realm Training Camp and Yu Haoran's prized disciple.

Yu Haoran and Xia Yu had a personal grudge over their previous competition for pseudo-legendary Pokémon. He had gradually forgotten about it, but a few days ago, the Dawn Society sent him a message.

The Dragapult Mesia that Xia Yu obtained was actually a Shiny Dragapult Mesia!

Upon learning this news, Yu Haoran's anger intensified. He even conceived the idea of ​​killing Xia Yu and stealing all his Pokémon, but the capital city was not Chang'an, and Chang'an was his territory!

Yu Haoran is a native of Chang'an. He was born, grew up, and works in Chang'an.

Now, he has been guarding the Dragon System Secret Realm in Chang'an for many years. His strength has long reached the peak of the Elite Four level trainer, and he is only one step away from the Elite Four. In addition, the Yu family is one of the top families and powerful local families in Chang'an, with extensive influence in the city.

With his immense power and powerful background, Yu Haoran was practically a local tyrant in Chang'an. Anything he set his sights on was guaranteed to fall into his hands.

Under Yu Haoran's leadership, the Yu family expanded rapidly, and their business scope expanded from the initial construction and tourism to include elf trading, energy cubes, underground black markets, elf poaching, and even human trafficking.

As long as it's profitable, there's no business Yu Haoran wouldn't dare to do. Of course, in the process of doing business, there are no shortage of formidable competitors. Those with some connections can lose some money but still leave Chang'an alive. Those without connections, without exception, either mysteriously disappear or die under mysterious circumstances.

As for those aggrieved individuals who wanted to report the incident to the Pokémon Association, they were taken away as soon as they stepped out of the door, even though the president of the Chang'an Pokémon Association was his father-in-law.

It was precisely because of Yu Haoran's ruthless and vicious ways that he was known to everyone in Chang'an. However, he was also aware of his own limitations, which meant that he only operated within the local area of ​​Chang'an and the entire Shaanxi province, and never expanded outwards indiscriminately. After all, even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake, and this was the secret to the Yu family's enduring prosperity.

The last time Xia Yu came to Chang'an, it was like a dragon crossing the river. He not only stole the pseudo-legendary Pokémon, but also slapped him in the face. This time, he naturally wanted to get his revenge. More importantly, ever since he learned about the shiny Dragapult, he had been thinking about it and wanted to find an opportunity to get his hands on that Dragapult!

Taking someone's money is like killing their parents. A shiny pseudo-legendary Pokémon has ruined his path to becoming a champion!

Chapter 170 First Release: Buzzing Bat

Li Miao is eighteen years old this year, the same age as Xia Yu, and is also a senior high school student.

Although his strength is not top-tier within the Chang'an Dragon System Secret Realm, he and Xia Yu are both extremely strong among Lord-level trainers.

In particular, his ace Pokémon, Kingdra, has the ability Swift Swim, which greatly increases its speed in the rain. Combined with its powerful special attack and four times fire resistance, it is a perfect counter to Xia Yu's Charizard.

Besides Kingdra, Li Miao's other two Pokémon are equally powerful.

One is the Altaria, known as a traitor to the dragon race, and the other is the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which is extremely strong in close combat.
