Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

"Lu An!"

Upon hearing Naoko's exclamation, Ningren turned to his sister in surprise: "The Lu An you've been telling me about, is that him?"

Naoko nodded: "Yes, brother, I'm talking about him."

Ning Ren's eye twitched: "The Lu An you mentioned, the one who wasn't interested in battles, didn't join the battle club, and rejected your invitation, is this the guy?"

Naoko nodded again: "Yes."

Ning slapped himself in the face.

He finally remembered why he felt a sense of familiarity when he heard the name "Lu An".

Goodness, when he challenged the Saffron Gym, the referee read out Lu An's name!

Naoko looked at her older brother with a puzzled expression, thinking he was still in a daze and hadn't come to his senses:

"Hey bro, what's wrong?"

Ningren: "Sis, you know I challenged the Saffron Gym, right?"

Naoko looked at Lu An on the field and nodded:

"I know, you went to find Miss Sabrina, but unfortunately she wasn't there, so you took the opportunity to challenge the acting gym leader, but you suffered a crushing defeat, and you've been distracted ever since you came back."

Naoko casually recounted all of Ningren's embarrassing moments in one go.

Ning Ren's lips twitched: "Then do you know that the acting master who caused my crushing defeat is the same Lu An you mentioned who doesn't like to fight?"

Naoko was taken aback:

"What! Bro, you're a professional-level trainer, one of the main members of our school team, and you actually lost to Lu An?"

Naoko turned her gaze back to the guy on the field who was even more handsome than her brother when he had hair, her eyes filled with disbelief.

The student she had her eye on, who she thought could be put to good use with a little training, turned out to be no young tiger at all, but a king of beasts who had already roared through the mountains!

Ning was also quite helpless.

He finally understood why Naoko always said that Lu An had no interest in Pokémon battles.

Just kidding! They're at the level to be the acting Gym Leader of the Goldenrod Gym, why would they be interested in a college-level Baby Showdown?

If you let someone with a guaranteed Gym Leader Pokémon compete in the school tournament, aside from a few monsters from other schools in the Kanto region, wouldn't he be able to take down anyone with a single move?

......

While Neito and Naoko were shocked by the information sharing, Arima had already grabbed his Poké Ball.

He first distinguished himself among Pokémon trainers at the Red and Green Cups more than a decade ago.

In the years that followed, he trained his cat boss to a near-dojo level.

After discovering that his cat had exhausted its potential and could not progress any further, he spent a lot of money to buy a new elf.

He pinned his last hope of climbing higher on this Pokémon.

At the same time, this Pokémon did not disappoint him, reaching the Gym level within a few years and becoming his new ace.

Now, whether he can keep his job depends entirely on how well he performs.

"It's all up to you now, Aluminum Steel Dragon!"

......

Lu An watched with great interest as the sprite jumped out of the ball on the other side.

"I didn't expect it to be a Galarian Duraludon. That's a very rare Pokémon in Kanto."

Duraludon is a Pokémon with a base stat total of 535 at birth in the game.

Both being Pokémon from the Galar region, Dragapult, which is known as a "pseudo-legendary" Pokémon, requires level 50 to evolve into its second form and level 60 to evolve into its ultimate form.

Compared to the struggling, late-blooming pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Duraludon, born with powerful talents and abilities, is a remarkable young Pokémon.

Chibana, the Gym Leader of Hammerlocke City in the Galar region, has a Duraludon as his ace.

Kibana is said to have champion-level fighters comparable to Wataru and Daigo.

However, Lu An knew that in the Blueberry Academy in the Padia region, Du Ruo had the evolved form of Duraludon, Duraludon, which possessed pseudo-legendary talent.

This time, it's because Cibanar suffered from the version's disadvantage; he's just a complete clown!

Facing this Duraludon, which was taller than an average person and exuded a powerful gymnastics-level aura, Lu An did not show any fear like the others.

Instead, he slowly opened the Poké Ball that he had been clutching since leaving the Goldenrod Gym.

A moth-like Pokémon, not much smaller than Duraludon, made its appearance.

It has three pairs of orange-red wings and is floating quietly in the air.

Volcano!

......

The school team members watching were a little better. Although they were also surprised that their coach's opponent had pulled out a fire moth, they only expressed their admiration.

But Naoko was completely bewildered.

She was already confused about Lu An's match against the school team coach, and then she heard Ningren say that she had suffered a crushing defeat at Lu An's hands.

Now, to everyone's surprise, Lu An has pulled out another fire moth from his hand!

Didn't Muto say before that Lu An only had two Eevee Pokémon? Is this a new Pokémon he caught?

Ning Ren, on the other hand, remained remarkably calm.

After all, Lu An had been an acting gym leader before, so he wouldn't be surprised if Lu An pulled out a quasi-god.

Ning Ren looked the fire moth up and down, a sight he had never seen before, and clicked his tongue in admiration:

"I've heard that Volcarona is known as the Sun Pokémon in the Unova region, and it's even depicted as the god of fire in ancient murals."

"It is a legendary Pokémon comparable to Arcanine of the East."

"When I saw him today, he certainly lived up to his reputation."

"Handsome! Really handsome!"

......

Lu An touched the head of the fire moth. It was already huge, and with it floating in the air, even Lu An had to raise his hand to touch its antennae.

"Welcome back, Volcano."

"No~"

The volcano only made a barely audible sound, but its tilted head still revealed its happy mood.

“Buyi”.

“Eebu”.

Both Ibrahimovic players jumped out of the ball to welcome their friend back to the team.

Yes, Volcarona is the Pokémon Sabrina brought back, and it's also Lu An's third Pokémon.

Compared to the young and promising Alumina Steel Dragon, the Volcano Moth has a much longer evolutionary cycle.

The energy required for just one evolutionary leap from the Burning Bug to the Volcano is almost comparable to that required for two evolutionary leaps of the Dralongaruto.

However, its evolved power is worth the long training process it underwent.

Compared to the two Eevee dogs that suffer from a genetic disease and are always taken care of by Lu An, Volcarona is Lu An's true main fighting force.

Lu An patted the fire moth's head:

"Alright, we still have plenty of time to catch up. Although I feel a little bad about making you fight right after I got back, I'm sure you won't mind, right?"

"No~"

Three pairs of orange-red wings dotted with red stars.

Those were the sparkling flames that appeared on the fiery body of the Volcano Moth due to its excitement.

Lu An, with Volcarona in tow, glanced at Arima, whose expression was tense, and Duraludon, who exuded a powerful aura, and smiled slightly:

"A promising young Pokémon? Well, that's exactly the kind of promising young Pokémon I'm going to fight."
