Pokémon cross over into the real world

Jia Wencheng and Lu Yi rode their Kentaro to the beach in the south of the town and found it very lively, with many tourists rushing here.

"Why is it so lively here on the beach? Is there some music festival going on?" Jia Wencheng was obviously getting excited.

Lu Yi shook his head. "Normally, any large-scale beach events would be publicized in advance. I haven't received any information at all! Is this a last-minute event?"

Lu Yi grabbed a local he knew and said, "Uncle Jing, it's me! On the beach..."

"Lu Yi, I was wondering who it was. You also came to watch the island owner fight." The middle-aged uncle told the reason without waiting for Lu Yi to ask.

"Island owner vs. someone? You mean the island owner is fighting someone on the beach right now?"

"Yeah, the publicity truck just made the announcement, and I happened to be nearby when I heard it, so I rushed over to take a look. The island owner is a legendary, and it's rare to see legendary masters fight up close. Of course I had to join in the fun."

"Do you know who it is?"

"I heard that he came to participate in the trial."

"Aren't trials usually handled by his students? Why does Island Master Zak want to take action himself this time?"

"I heard that his opponent is from the Dragon Country like us, and he is still very young. Anyway, he is a very special and important person, so the island owner wants to meet him. Oh, let's not talk about it anymore. The fight has started inside and there is no room left." After the middle-aged man said this, he turned around and squeezed into the crowd on the beach.

"A Dragon Countryman! Still very young! A very special and important figure!" Jia Wencheng recited a few key words. "Could it be Wang Qiyi? It should be him. No one on this island is more qualified than him to challenge the island master."

"you know?"

"More than just knowing him, he's my brother. Let's go and take a look."

Jia Wencheng and Lu Yi finally squeezed through the crowd, only to be met with a breathtaking sight. The battleground in the center of the beach had been furrowed by the energy surge. The crowd retreated a hundred meters from the battle platform, but even then, those in the front rows were thrown to the ground by the aftermath. The beach police maintained order. Dozens of Alliance trainers released their Pokémon, creating a wall of light and a reflective barrier to shield the spectators from the aftermath.

Even from a distance, the massive mass of the red Gyarados was clearly visible, like a moving crimson mountain. The armored warrior stood firmly opposite it, its milky white shell glistening coldly in the sunlight, its dark golden pupils fixed intently on Gyarados. It seemed that Red's intimidation ability had no effect on him, a testament to his pride as a Legendary Pokémon.

The huge claws on the armored warrior's arms opened and closed slightly, making a crisp "click" sound, and the sand under his feet was stepped on to form fine cracks, obviously ready to attack.

"Boom!" Xiaohong launched the attack, sweeping her enormous tail across, the water vapor pulling it forward, forming a massive water tail behind her. The endless water element at the seaside made her water-based skills even more effective. The tail traced a graceful arc as Xiaohong swung her body, like a full moon in the sky, a stream of water at its tail—a crescent-shaped scimitar.

"Hmph, it's just a water skill. Armored warriors, no need to dodge, attack!" Zack's voice was calm and unhurried.

The armored warrior's arms acted like two large shields, inherently providing exceptionally high defense. Combined with their resistance to water-based attacks, they proved completely unfazed. Crossing their arms in front of them, they charged forward, their feet stomping outward as a pale blue curtain of water enveloped them, slowly swirling around them.

The massive water tail slammed against the water curtain, creating a deafening roar and splashing water everywhere, turning the surrounding sand into a muddy mess. However, the armored warrior was not repelled by the water tail. Instead, he continued to charge forward, and the previous attack had caused no damage to it at all.

"What a strong defense!" Jia Wencheng couldn't help but exclaim. Lu Yi was also very excited. This was the first time he saw the island master send out his main force to fight against others. Before, there had been trialists who had received the island master's approval and personally fought for him, but they were always secondary pets, and the battles were just guided battles. He had never seen the island master give it his all.

"It's the Water Ring!" Wang Qiyi spotted the skill surrounding the armored warrior. The Water Ring skill was very similar to Venusaur's Rooting skill. Simply put, it gave the player a health-regenerating buff, while the price of Rooting was being locked in place by the roots. The Water Ring required staying underwater; it would be ineffective if the player jumped out of the water. However, the armored warrior before him wasn't submerged, and the Water Ring formed a protective layer around him out of thin air.

Training a transformation skill into another form, combining defense and blood recovery functions, it can be seen that this armored warrior is very powerful and worthy of being a legendary level.

The armored warrior had already rushed close, his massive claws raised in a slashing blow. Xiao Hong met the blow with her head, using her advanced Steel-type skill—Iron Head. The steel dragon head and the massive claws collided with a metallic clang, sparks flying everywhere. The two of them bounced off each other, and the armored warrior shifted his attack from slashing to stabbing, his claw tips gleaming with purple light.

Poison Attack, a high-level poison skill, has a chance of poisoning the victim. Sharp black steel claws pierced Xiaohong's body, sparks erupting from her red armor and leaving a deep scratch, but it didn't completely break through her defense. The poison damage from the claws was ineffective.

The armored warrior was stunned, apparently not expecting Xiaohong's scales to be so defensive, blocking his full-strength attack. In a duel between masters, there's no room for error, and Xiaohong seized this moment of distraction, twisting her body and slapping with her dragon tail.

Raising his arm to block, the dragon's tail slammed into his arm armor, sending the armored warrior flying. Xiaohong launched an Iron Head attack, but the armored warrior steadied himself in mid-air, his entire body radiating a metallic sheen. He then crossed his arms to block the Iron Head, but this time Xiaohong didn't gain the upper hand, and the Iron Head was deflected. He then followed up with a Cross Slash, meeting Xiaohong's Water Stream Tail with a counter.

The close combat skills of the two Pokémon were full of sparks, and the two sides were moving back and forth at an extremely fast speed. The trainer's command could not keep up with the rhythm of the battle. The two Pokémon relied entirely on their own combat experience and intuition.

Zach was surprised. His Armored Warrior's strongest point was close combat, boasting high attack and defense. However, its weaknesses were also obvious: slow speed and relatively weak special defense. Therefore, the best way to defeat it was to attack from a distance, using a kite-flying tactic.

Yet, this red Gyarados held its own in close combat against the armored warrior. Defeating an opponent in their strongest area is the true strength of the force.

Wang Qiyi's thoughts were similar to Zac's, as Xiaohong had never suffered a loss in close combat since her debut, and her Wing Chun sticking punches often made it difficult for opponents to react. Most importantly, Xiaohong's skill connections were flawless, and no other Pokémon in her tier could release skills as quickly as hers.

However, this time, the opponent showed no signs of panic, and fought Xiao Hong with ease. After more than ten rounds, the two sides remained tied. The two sides were entangled in a fierce battle, without even a chance to perform transformation skills. At this time, any distraction would be seized by the opponent.

The clash lasted for about three minutes, seemingly short, but both had already exchanged dozens of attacks, and the constant flow of skills had begun to wear on their energy. Red showed a slight vulnerability, and the armored warrior reacted swiftly, seizing it. It leaped into the air, spun around, and its pincers, gathering green energy, slashed fiercely at Gyarados's back with its advanced insect-type skill—Cross Scissors.

Two intersecting green blades of light hit Gyarados accurately, causing it to stumble in pain. Two shallow bloody marks were left on the scales on its back.

"It can actually hurt Xiaohong!" Jia Wencheng widened his eyes in disbelief. He knew how strong Xiaohong's defense was, and he had also experienced firsthand how good its physical strength was. "The island owner's elf is quite powerful!" Jia Wencheng exclaimed unconsciously.
