Everyone else is a trainer, but you are a swordsman?

Feng's slot machine, which was constantly issuing coins, kept attracting the attention of tourists nearby.

Soon, he was surrounded by onlookers. They stared at Feng as if he were a monster, stunned by the boy's amazing slot machine skills and the mountain of game coins in the bucket.

"Wow, I won again!!"

"How come this kid is so lucky!"

"You haven't realized yet. This isn't just luck; it's clearly skill."

"Little brother, would you accept a disciple?"

……

As the crowd chattered, the number "777" appeared on the three reels of the slot machine's screen. Then the machine trembled, and a flood of game coins gushed out, so much so that the bucket couldn't even hold them all. Some of the coins spilled onto the ground, rolling away.

This action once again caused people's surprise and discussion, and some people even suspected that he was a shill for the game hall.

Feng ignored everyone. After feeling that the number of game coins was about the same, he and Xianla said "Hey whoosh" and carried two wooden barrels filled with coins to the prize area to exchange them. Only his back and legend were left to the people around him...

Feng placed the bucket of game coins on the counter with a clang, and said to the staff in front of him, "Please help me count how many coins I have and see if I can exchange them for the Sharp Claw."

The staff member looked at Feng helplessly, with an embarrassed look on his face, and then called a few other people to start counting the game coins in the bucket.

Soon, thanks to the efforts of several people, the results were achieved.

"A total of 24,352 game coins." The staff member wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Feng raised his eyebrows. More than 24,000 pieces, just a little short.

"Then I'll go play a few more rounds of Tiger..."

"Sir, please wait a moment."

Before Feng could finish his words, a formally dressed arcade manager spoke up, "We'll give you the remaining coins. Consider it a token of friendship. But we ask that you be more generous next time. Small businesses can't afford to be thwarted."

Feng didn't want to offend the arcade too much, so he said, "Okay, okay, I won't play slot machines in your store anymore."

The person in charge said a few words of thanks and then gave the staff a wink.

The staff nearby quickly took out an exquisite box and said, "Congratulations on obtaining the Sharp Claws!"

Feng took the box and opened it. Inside was a sharp claw shining with cold light. It could be seen from the attribute panel that it was not a fake.

Feng's mouth corners rose slightly, Niura's evolution finally came to fruition.

"Usually."

Xianla jumped and tried to reach the box in Feng's hand, but he quickly took it away. This box couldn't be allowed to be played with by Xianla casually.

Although it was daytime, what if he suddenly evolved? Xila wasn't fully familiar with his own strength and skills yet, so now wasn't the time to evolve.

Under the envious gazes of the people around him, Feng called Liuyin and Ying, and left the game hall with sharp claws.

When they got outside, Liuyin finally couldn't hold it in any longer and came close to Feng, looking at him with admiration, "Feng, I didn't expect you to be so good at playing games!"

"I've only mastered a few tricks." Feng replied vaguely, then looked at Ying next to him, "Ying, do you want to fight me again? My Gyarados is no longer what it used to be."

"Huh? So sudden." Liuyin was a little surprised.

"I'm at your service any time." Ying said with a faint smile.

……

Arriving at the training ground, the two released their Pokémon.

Feng's Pokémon is naturally a level 40 Gyarados with a mega stone, and Sakura released a Lava Snail, which is as high as level 49, just one step away from reaching the gym leader level.

Generally speaking, the higher the level of Pokémon, the stronger its hard power is, but this is not absolute. Various factors such as qualifications, racial value, attributes, and training also have a huge impact.

For example, a Garchomp and a Pikachu with the same qualifications, even if Garchomp is 4 or 5 levels lower, can still beat Pikachu (except Pikachu).

This lava snail has the qualifications of a king and is well trained.

It looks like an erupting volcano, with a thick lava crust covering its surface. Molten rock drips from the crust from time to time, forming streams of fiery red magma that flow on the ground, leaving charred marks wherever they pass.

"Although my lava snail is of a high level, its attributes are four times stronger than yours, and it can't take advantage of you too much. You still have a chance to win this time." Ying said with a smile, her tone full of confidence.

Feng remained unmoved and chuckled, "From the tone of your voice, it seems like you're sure to win. Even though my Gyarados has just broken through to the elite level, it's not certain to lose. You should just give it your all."

"Ahem, now, the game begins." Liuyin, the referee, coughed twice to signal the two to be quiet, and then announced the start.

"Gyarados, Intimidate (with glare) then Dragon Dance."

"Lava snail, sunny day."

As in the previous battle, Intimidate, which was always effective against high-level Pokémon, failed to interrupt Magma Snail's skills. Fortunately, the glare was successfully used, and combined with the effect of Intimidate, the opponent's attack and defense were reduced by one level.

"Lava Snail, Sharp Stone Attack!"

Following Sakura's command, countless sharp stones appeared around the lava snail and shot towards the Gyarados Bee Pupa in the Dragon Dance.

This kind of power and range was beyond the ability of Gyarados to dodge simply by adjusting its body shape. Furthermore, these sharp rocks were emitting scorching heat, their surfaces burning red and emitting sparks. This must have been combined with a fire-type skill, potentially causing double damage from rock and fire if it struck.

In previous battles, Gyarados was repeatedly severely injured by this move.

but now……

Feng clenched the keystone in his hand and raised it high, shouting, "Gyarados, mega evolution!"

"Roar!" Gyarados was suddenly covered in light.

"What!" Ying opened her lips slightly, with an expression of disbelief in her eyes.

The light on the field instantly dissipated, revealing Mega Gyarados's imposing form. Due to its evolutionary loss of Flying and a significant increase in Physical Defense, it was able to withstand the damage from the Rock Slide and perform a Dragon Dance.

"Gyarados, it's time to fight back, climb over the waterfall and rush over!" Feng shouted loudly, his blood boiling, as if he was fighting with Gyarados as one.

A torrent of water suddenly gushed out from under the scales on the side of Mega Gyarados, like the powerful force erupted when a Gundam aircraft was started, pushing Gyarados to form a huge water arrow, and with a "whoosh" sound, it shot towards the lava snail.

The water arrow pierced the air, stirring up a violent gust of wind. Wherever it passed, mist filled the air, as if a giant dragon was weaving through the mist. In the blink of an eye, Mega Gyarados had already approached the Lava Snail, leaving only a shadow behind.
