Pokémon: Master System

Listening to Xia Yu's words, the surrounding champions, whether it was Brunhilde from the Misty Moon Kingdom, Schneider from the Steel Kingdom, William from the Windmill Kingdom, Remy from the Flower Kingdom, and so on.

The champions looked at the aggressive Xia Yu with grim faces, exchanged glances, and finally decided to swallow their anger and ride away on their Flying-type Pokémon.

Unless absolutely necessary, try to avoid conflict with Sakaki, the champion with a notorious reputation.

If there really were some extraordinary treasures in this Taijing Secret Realm, such as Zekrom or the Dragon Stone Tablet, these people would naturally form an alliance and challenge Xia Yu, but for now, it's best to leave it at that.

It's not worth it to wander into a secret realm where you don't even know what treasures it holds. The most important thing right now is to find Zekrom and the Dragon Stone!

As the champions left one after another, a moment later, only Champion Marshall remained by the waterfall.

“Champion Marshall.” Xia Yu slowly turned his gaze to Marshall and calmly said, “And you… do you want to stay here and compete with us for this secret realm?”

Hearing Xia Yu's words of dismissal, Champion Marshall could only force a smile and look at Xia Yu, saying, "Since Champion Xia Yu is personally taking action, I naturally cannot compete for this secret realm, so I will give it to your China."

After Marshall finished speaking, he didn't linger. He immediately released another Flying-type Pokémon and rode away.

Instead of wasting time here, we should hurry up and make up for the losses elsewhere!

With Marshall's departure, only Xia Yu, Lü Tinghe, and Feng Kuangyin remained by the lake.

"Uncle-Master, Captain Feng, I didn't expect to see you again so soon. All the champions have left, so no one will bother you for the time being. You can distribute the spoils of this secret realm yourselves and explore it yourselves." Xia Yu smiled and looked at the two of them, saying, "I won't go in."

"Aren't you going in?" Lu Tinghe frowned and looked at Xia Yu, asking.

"No. This secret realm is so vast. Just as you said, what I'm after is Zekrom and the Dragon Stone Tablet. Rather than wasting time here, I'd rather hurry up and search for Zekrom's whereabouts," Xia Yu said, looking at the two of them.

Upon hearing this, Lü Tinghe and Feng Kuangyin nodded slightly and did not refuse Xia Yu's offer: "Then we will go in and explore first, and contact you again after we come out."

"Okay." Xia Yu nodded, then took a deep breath, his face showing a serious expression: "By the way, do you have any news about Captain Shi?"

“No.” Lü Tinghe shook his head.

Feng Kuangyin then slowly spoke up, saying, "I also noticed that Captain Shi's signal has gone missing. He must have had some kind of extraordinary encounter."

"I know, I'm just a little worried about Lao Shi."

“You don’t need to worry about him. He is, after all, the captain of the Gyarados Special Operations Team. You don’t need to worry too much about his strength. If anything unexpected happens, it’s all up to fate.” Feng Kuangyin said with a serious expression, “Since we have chosen to carry out the mission, we have already put life and death aside.”

Xia Yu waved his hand and said with a serious expression, "Don't say such discouraging things. I will definitely bring you all back. By the way, what about Champion Mi Ye? It seems like he's having some problems too. He hasn't replied to my messages."

Meanwhile, inside the dense jungle.

Midnight's Venusaur and Virizion are engaged in a fierce battle with Leafeon!

The iron-spotted leaf's emerald green body gleamed with a deep purple poisonous light, clearly indicating that it was already in a state of extreme poisoning. However, this did not frighten or deter the iron-spotted leaf; instead, it further aroused its ferocity!

Its eyes gleamed with a scarlet light, and grass-type energy surged around its body. Then, it lightly tapped its foot!

In an instant, the entire jungle seemed to freeze, and the rich grass-based energy surged toward the Iron-spotted Leaf like a tide, turning its already emerald green body into a shimmering glow, making it even more dazzling under the night sky.

Iron-spotted Leaf's strange behavior also alerted Mi Ye. He stared at Iron-spotted Leaf silently, a solemn expression on his face.

Although the purpose of Iron Leaf's actions is not yet clear, the surging, wave-like grass-type energy still makes Mi Ye instinctively uneasy!

The iron-spotted leaf's metallic limbs were deeply embedded in the earth, its body, a blend of emerald green and pink, bowed slightly, and its leaf-shaped crown shimmered with a luminous green light.

Immediately afterward, dazzling crystals began to condense on its body, almost in the blink of an eye.

Ironleaf has actually completed autonomous crystallization. Its metallic body is covered with a layer of transparent turquoise crystal, and a huge grass-type crystallization mark has appeared on its head!

"Too crystallized?!" Mi Ye's pupils shrank sharply, her eyes showing shock.

Crystallization is a brand-new power-up system introduced by the Max Labs. Unexpectedly, a wild, mysterious Pokémon here will crystallize on its own!

Mi Ye didn't have time to think it through, because Iron-spotted Leaf had already launched an attack!

Its sharp antlers were enveloped in rich grass-type energy, which transformed into sharp leaf blades. With light taps of its feet and four hooves, its movements were agile and elegant, yet its speed was extremely fast, as it slashed towards Biligion.

“Biligeon, Holy Sword!” Mi Ye’s calm voice rang out.

After crystallization, a Pokémon will become a single type when it takes damage.

Therefore, the Ironleaf in front of us has become a Grass-type. Grass-type still has double resistance to Grass, but not to Fighting. So the best way to attack now is to let Virizion use a Fighting-type move!

As Miya's voice fell, Fighting-type energy gathered around Virizion, forming a sharp holy sword in the middle of its head, which slashed towards Ironleaf.

"Venusaur, keep using Sludge Bomb!" Mi Ye's voice rang out again, with an unquestionable determination, ordering Venusaur to provide fire support!

Mega Venusaur understood immediately. The huge flower on its back trembled violently, and the thick, viscous, deep purple poison energy rapidly condensed and compressed, transforming into an ominous beam of deep purple energy that, with a pungent stench, shot towards Ironleaf like a barrage of bullets!

A hint of disgust and violence flashed in Iron-spotted Leaf's scarlet eyes.

As a Grass/Psychic-type Pokémon, Poison energy is one of the most repulsive forces for it, and Mega Venusaur's Sludge Bomb poses a deadly threat to it!

But at this moment, Leafeon had no choice but to withstand the attack from Mega Venusaur and launch an attack on Virizion!

Its metal limbs suddenly pushed off the ground, and its body moved across the ground like a ghost, trying to avoid the poisonous energy beam that exuded a terrifying aura.

"Vilizion, charge! Holy Sword!" Miye's command followed immediately, directing Vilizion to fight alongside Mega Venusaur!
