Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

"Emperor Yan?"

Upon hearing Lu An's words, Chao, who had been laughing wildly with his hands on his hips, stopped abruptly and looked at Lu An in surprise.

"You mean, Emperor Yan ran up to the crater?"

Lu An nodded innocently.

Realizing that he might have let a troublesome guy onto the crater during his battle with Safia, Chao first showed a hint of panic on his face, but then quickly calmed down, and even a look of greed flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph, the Flame Emperor, one of the Three Divine Beasts? Even if he is a divine beast, it's too late for him to stop us now."

"Emperor Yan's arrival is just in time. As long as we subdue Emperor Yan, Suicune, which is also one of the three sacred beasts, will surely come to its rescue. Then our Aqua team will be able to subdue Suicune."

"With Suigun's help, our Fleet Aqua will definitely be able to expand the ocean area even further."

After a moment's thought, Chao looked at Lu An and Shafia on the cable car, a fierce glint in his eyes:

"But before that, I need to deal with you first."

Marill, with her Hercules ability, stood beside Ushio, showing off her physique—Muscle Type Water Rabbit!

"Marilure, Water Burst!"

Upon seeing Marilouli appear, Safia's pupils contracted slightly as she nervously stared at Lu An and his Vulcan moth.

"Watch out, that Marill is very strong!"

As she spoke, she disregarded Aysa inside the cable car and was about to jump off to support Lu An.

Looking at the water rabbit, its entire body enveloped in water, diving towards him, Lu An smiled slightly:

"Is Marill very strong? Unfortunately, we're quite strong on our side too. Volcarona, full power, Flame Burst."

"No~"

Flames spewed from the mouth of the Volcano Moth and crashed into the muscular rabbit, which was covered in water and was carrying a tremendous impact.

Flames and water collided, the raging flames and the ceaseless flow of water clashing and battling fiercely, producing crackling and popping sounds, with water droplets constantly being evaporated into the air, forming a huge white mist.

On this battlefield where water and fire clashed, water mist, flames, sounds, and fog intertwined, creating a breathtaking scene.

The surging water kept crashing against the flames, but the enormous flames roared and rolled like a raging fire dragon, as if they wanted to devour everything.

Despite the muscular rabbit's desperate efforts to break through the water flow, it could not resist the fierce flames.

In a minute or in the blink of an eye, the clash between water and fire produced a result: the fire dragon pierced through the water curtain and blasted Marill out of its watery state.

"Luri..."

(-@y@)-

Mariluri, who had been contorted in a ferocious expression and brimming with muscles, now collapsed weakly to the ground.

Its skin was no longer moist; the power of the explosive flames had evaporated all the moisture from its body, and it even faintly emitted a meaty aroma.

Lu An looked at the unconscious muscular rabbit and quietly swallowed.

"The muscular rabbit that's been simmered over high heat to reduce the sauce must be really chewy."

Both Aysa on the cable car and Chao on the opposite side of Lu'an were speechless with astonishment at the ferocity of the Volcano Moth.

Shafia, who was originally going to jump off the cable car to help Lu An, also leaned against the door frame, momentarily forgetting what she was supposed to do.

What did they just see?

One of the three executives of Team Aqua, the main Pokémon of the Mizu team, Marill, who caused a lot of damage in the Hoenn region, was actually KO'd in one move.

Water has the attribute advantage over fire, but the powerful water flow actually evaporated the energy in Volcarona's continuous flames, forcibly pulling Amarillion out of its water-bursting state.

Chao stood frozen in place, his hands trembling with cold.

He is one of the three newly appointed officers of the Aqua Team, and he acquired the name Ushio after becoming one of the three officers.

His dream was to climb to the top of the naval fleet and eventually control the entire fleet.

Therefore, he needs to constantly create achievements for himself.

However, during missions, because Di and Quan are more senior and stronger, Chao often has to obey their orders, which makes Chao very unhappy.

Therefore, while Tear and Izumi were carrying out the plan to extinguish the volcano, Ushio, thinking that even a small mosquito is still meat, decided to deal with Safia, this wild girl who frequently caused trouble for Team Aqua.

In his view, this was an easy "achievement," after all, Safia was just a naive young girl.

Just as Chao was about to claim this "achievement" for himself, a pretty boy with a fire moth appeared, but he didn't take Lu An seriously at all, thinking he was just a hothead who saw injustice on the road.

He's one of the three executives of Team Aqua, possessing dojo-level strength. What strength could a greenhorn possibly have?

Moreover, Chao also heard news about Emperor Yan from this hothead, which stirred a sense of greed within him.

If we can capture Emperor Yan and then use him to subdue Shuijun, that would be an incredible achievement. If we can do something in the process of capturing divine beasts, then standing above Di Quan will be just around the corner.

So even though Lu An was accompanied by a fire moth, Chao still didn't take it to heart.

When Chao saw that Lu An's Volcarona dared to go head-to-head with his Marill, he almost burst out laughing.

A hothead is a hothead.

Water overcomes fire. If they fight by countering each move, the Volcano, with its strength, might still have a fighting chance.

But he didn't dodge or avoid it; he chose to confront the water flow head-on.

Not to mention that Chao believes he is stronger than Lu An, even if Lu An is slightly stronger, it doesn't matter. Does he really think that the advantage of water over fire doesn't exist?

It's just a Volcarona, do you think you're Groudon with the Terminator ability? Able to nullify Water-type moves?

To suppress or even defeat a gym-level Marill in a head-on confrontation, one would at least need to be a near-champion, right?

Even Elite Four level Fire-type Pokémon struggled quite a bit.

But how many near-champions are there in this world?

Throughout the entire Hoenn continent, there are only a handful of trainers qualified to be called Elite Four Trainers, and I can name almost all of them.

Could this clueless newbie, who seems to have appeared out of nowhere, possibly have the potential to be a champion?

However, before Chao could even smile, he was surprised and horrified to discover that his Marill's Water Stream had been completely evaporated by Volcarona's Flame Burst!

Moreover, after Volcarona's Flame Burst shattered the water flow, it still had enough power to knock Marill unconscious, turning him into a fragrant roasted rabbit.

"This is impossible!"

This completely shattered his understanding!

A Volcarona that can defeat him head-on with Fire-type moves is at least a near-champion level!

You should know that the leader of their Water Fleet, Boss Water Willow, is only at the peak of the Heavenly King level!

The guy in front of me named Lu An is no fool at all; he's clearly a dragon that has crossed the river!
