A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

Just as Li Xingeng ordered the Flame Lions to dig tunnels and the main battlefield was raging, the East China Sea Fleet of China was facing an unprecedented crisis in the distance.

On the flagship "Zhenhai" at the center of the fleet, a guard responsible for communicating with Psychic-type Pokémon suddenly looked up, his face drained of color.

He shouted urgently, "Miss Goth has sent an urgent telepathic message! She's here!"

"Two...two extremely powerful and malicious energy reactions! They're moving incredibly fast, hurtling towards us from the two o'clock position! They're Champion-level!"

"It's... the champion from the enemy country!"

Beside him stood a Gothic lady dressed in an elegant gothic dress, her eyes closed in deep thought, the red gem on her head flashing intensely, clearly trying her best to sense and transmit this dangerous signal.

A piercing alarm instantly blared throughout the entire fleet! All warships immediately went on high alert!

On the deck, trainers and their Pokémon quickly took their places.

However, this world's technology tree lacks research and development in traditional firearms, or even has no technology tree at all. The power of those cannons is not even enough to seriously damage a King-class Golem.

The real line of defense is the elite trainers in East China, and their Pokémon that excel at ranged attacks!

"Electromagnetic array, prepare!"

A commander shouted an order. Countless Magnemites and Magneton took to the air again, attempting to form the electromagnetic barrier that had previously performed such a feat.

The sailors commanded a large number of Pokémon such as Octopus Barrel and Tentacruel, gathering skills like Hydro Pump and Ice Beam, ready for battle.

In the sky, Pidgeot, Flying-type Pokémon, and others formed an interception net.

However, this time, the tactics failed.

During their long journey, Kameda and Park Chang had already used precious full-restor medicine and other means to cure the paralysis of their main Pokémon.

Facing the well-prepared Chinese fleet, the two men could only manage a cruel sneer.

"Park-san, you're in charge of defense!" Kameda gave a brief instruction.

"Understood! Seumida!" Park Chang responded, immediately dispatching his other main force—a champion-level Aegislash monster!

This Pokémon has a unique form. Its main body is a huge, dark blue shield with gold patterns on the edges. A huge red gem is embedded in the center of the shield, emitting a calm and defensive glow.

A grayish-white arm, resembling a sword hilt, extended from behind the shield. It instantly transformed into a shield upon its appearance.

A massive phantom of a king's shield expanded from his body, radiating an absolute and reassuring defensive will!

"Strong Shield Sword Monster, King's Shield!"

"Armored Bird, Iron Wall! Spread Water!"

Park Chang focused on defense, and his two Champion-level Pokémon formed an impenetrable defensive line!

Kameda, on the other hand, was in charge of pure offense!

"Mega Venusaur, destroy the entire Chinese fleet!"

Kameda, sitting atop his Flying-type Pokémon, suddenly threw a Poké Ball onto the deck of the Chinese fleet.

"Bang~"

The rainbow light shone again, and Mega Venusaur, fully recovered from its injuries and back to its peak condition, let out a deafening roar. The flower on its back became even larger and more ferocious, with petals as sharp as knives. Its thick limbs were like ancient trees rooted firmly on the deck!

"Crazy Plants! Tear their lines apart!"

Mega Venusaur stomped heavily on the deck, and countless thick, python-like, terrifying vines covered with sharp wooden spikes tore through the steel deck and ripped the sea surface, like countless frenzied tentacles, indiscriminately lashing and strangling at the surrounding Chinese warships!

"Boom! Crack!"

A destroyer's side was dented and broken by a giant vine!

"Chucky!"

A dense barrage of Spikes rained down on the deck of another warship, instantly injuring and killing many Pokémon and trainers!

"Splash!" The Pokémon and members of the China League who couldn't escape fell into the water along with the broken deck and steel.

The electromagnetic pulse bombarded the [King's Shield], but only caused ripples; it could not penetrate it!

Countless water cannons and ice beams bombarded Mega Venusaur, but it withstood them with its immense vitality and defense, or was scattered by its wildly dancing vines!

The two champion-level trainers, one on defense and one on offense, worked together seamlessly, cutting through the Chinese fleet's carefully constructed defenses with ease, like a hot knife through butter, as if they were in an empty field!

Tragic casualties occurred instantly.

"what--!"

A trainer and his feline companion were caught in a sudden vine, flung into the sea, and their fate remains unknown.

"Hold on! Rumble Rock!"

Another trainer roared, but his Gravestone was already covered in wounds from being hit repeatedly by Spikes.

The stench of blood began to permeate the sea breeze. The death toll, relentlessly pushed forward by the two champion-level trainers, began to rise steadily.

The atmosphere inside the command center of the "Zhenhai" was extremely tense.

All eyes were drawn to the elderly man sitting in the main seat, dressed in a worn-out Zhongshan suit with graying temples—Guo Jian'an, the first champion of East China.

However, the once-renowned champion now appears somewhat unfocused and lost in thought.

His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest unconsciously, as if he were immersed in his own world, unresponsive to the deafening explosions and screams outside.

Alzheimer's disease! Also known as senile dementia...

It was relentlessly consuming his last vestiges of lucidity and responsiveness.

The league did consider having his legendary Pokémon, which possess near-Master or even Master-level combat power, continue to serve the league, and Mr. Guo himself readily agreed.

However, the Pokémon that had accompanied him throughout his life and were now also old were all proud and arrogant. They only recognized Guo Jian'an as their sole master and were simply unable to build enough bonds and trust with other trainers.

Having immense power but being unable to unleash it due to the trainer's condition is the greatest helplessness and tragedy of China's East China Sea defense line.

Yu Xingken looked at the dazed Grandpa Guo, then glanced at the retreating battle lines and rising casualty figures on the screen, gritted his teeth, and a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

He turned around and said to the three strongest Elite Four trainers in East China who had been waiting for him, "Elite Four! We can't wait any longer! We have to step up!"

These three strongest kings in East China are:

Shi Lei, the king of the ground-type, is a middle-aged man with a sturdy build and a resolute face. His main weapon is a super armored rhinoceros that moves like a mountain, with a thick shell and makes the deck tremble with every step.

The Dark-type Elite Four member, Wang Xi, is a young man dressed in black with sharp, hawk-like eyes. His main character is a crow with dark feathers, fierce eyes, and an ominous aura surrounding it.

Lu Guan, the King of Electric-type, is a middle-aged man with a tall and upright posture and a serious expression like a soldier. His main force is an electric monster with bulging muscles, two tails that are inserted into the deck like cables to draw electricity, and violent arcs of electricity leaping all over its body.

The four of them boarded a Pokémon that was good at moving at high speed and rushed to the deck of the destroyer where Kameda was located, which had been reduced to a mess!
