Pokemon: Daily Intelligence Updates

#69 - I'm really smart!

A thunderous roar echoed across the sky as Shellder made a dazzling entrance.

Goryeosa watched the Shellder, surrounded by jets of water, a glint of excitement in her eyes.

Shellder, she had one of those Pokémon too.

In fact, Goryeosa was quite fond of Shellder. They were plentiful, growing everywhere like blades of grass.

But Goryeosa particularly admired Shellder's tenacious spirit, that unyielding resilience.

"I'm sorry, this is my Pokémon."

"My name is Xia Mu, and Shellder can be a bit mischievous," Xia Mu said, scratching his head bashfully. In truth, it was all part of his plan.

He'd had Shellder attract Goryeosa's attention, hoping to glean some secrets about training Shellder from her.

After all, as an Ice-type Trainer, Goryeosa was likely to have a Shellder.

Shellder were quite common in the Yan Huang region.

Shellder ceased its Water Spout, landing gently on the ground, the scattered spray forming a vibrant rainbow in the air.

"You want to battle me?"

Goryeosa smiled. "I wouldn't want to take advantage. I'll use a Pokémon of similar strength to battle your Shellder."

"Come on out, Sneasel."

A pitch-black Sneasel appeared, staring intently at Shellder like a panther.

Its sharp claws gleamed with a cold light under the sun.

The feather on its head was like a perfectly flawless pigeon-blood ruby.

[Pokémon Name: Sneasel]

[Gender: Male]

[Aptitude: Green]

[Ability: Keen Eye]

[Level: 20]

[Type: Dark + Ice]

[Moves: Snow Powder (Proficient), Scratch (Proficient), Hail (Proficient), Icy Wind (Proficient), Taunt (Proficient), Metal Claw (Proficient), Quick Attack (Proficient), Hone Claws (Proficient), Agility (Beginner)]

[Evaluation: This is a powerful Sneasel, especially skilled in Ice-type moves. Sneasel is also known for its agility, and this one is very fast.]

Sneasel stared intently at Shellder with its sharp eyes. In Sneasel's eyes, this slow-moving Shellder was already a defeated foe.

Seeing Sneasel cross its arms, Goryeosa clapped her hands to get its attention. "Sneasel, don't underestimate it. This Shellder isn't as simple as it looks."

"I expect you to take it seriously."

"Or you'll be crying after you lose."

Sneasel looked very annoyed upon hearing this, as if to say that it could never lose to Shellder.

"Haha, Sneasel, always be fully prepared before the result of the battle is known."

"Oh right, your name is Xia Mu, right?"

"Let's have a friendly match."

"By the way, even though it's a friendly match, I won't have Sneasel hold back."

"In this battle, I'll show you the difference between a professional Trainer and you."

"Go, Sneasel, use Quick Attack, then follow up with Metal Claw!"

It was a very smooth and seamless combo.

Sneasel instantly transformed into a black flash, arriving in front of Shellder in the blink of an eye.

Its sharp claws heavily slashed at Shellder.

At that moment, Shellder had already stacked Iron Defense. It used both Iron Defense and Withdraw simultaneously.

Metal Claw struck heavily against Shellder's shell, emitting a very grating sound.

Countless sparks flew out, and Sneasel's paws felt faintly numb.

It hadn't expected Shellder to raise its defense to this level.

A glint of coldness flashed in Goryeosa's eyes. An ordinary Shellder's shell would have been shattered by Sneasel's attack.

She hadn't expected this Shellder to be so sturdy.

"This is truly beyond my expectations."

"But, did you think you could avoid my Sneasel's attacks so easily?"

"Sneasel, use Fury Swipes!"

Sneasel raised both hands, the claws on its hands radiating a cold light.

It heavily slashed at Shellder.

At that moment, the sound of rushing water erupted.

Endless streams of water carried Shellder soaring into the sky. Sneasel's claws struck empty air, and instead, it was splashed with water.

Its fur clung tightly together, drops of water falling from Sneasel's body.

Shellder hovered in the sky, looking down at Sneasel from above.

"I didn't expect your Shellder to have such mastery over Water Spout."

"Beyond my expectations, not bad, not bad."

"Extremely interesting."

"Sneasel, use Snow Powder!"

Sneasel fiercely shook the water from its fur. Its fur was now incredibly fluffy, making Sneasel look like a large orange cat from a distance.

"Sneasel."

Icy blue light appeared in Sneasel's eyes.

At that moment, a dark cloud drifted over, and in the May sky, snowflakes fell from the sky like blooming flowers.

The students near the arena were shivering from the cold.

"This Sneasel actually changed the climate."

"Tch, nothing special, this is the Snow Powder skill, naturally it can change the climate."

"Sneasel changed the temperature, this is starting to become advantageous for it."

"I wonder if Shellder can still beat Sneasel."

The students were all discussing spiritedly, their faces flushed red from the cold, but at this moment they seemed very energetic and excited.

A thin layer of ice appeared on Shellder's Water Spout.

But this was nothing to Shellder.

After all, it was also an Ice-type Pokémon, naturally able to withstand extreme weather conditions.

"Hmph, I'll see how long your Pokémon can last."

"Sneasel, Hail!"

Sneasel spread out its hands, icy blue light gathering in them, and hailstones the size of chicken eggs appeared.

With a wave of its hands, Sneasel launched the hailstones like bullets.

"Dodge, Shellder!"

Shellder flew through the sky, directly avoiding Sneasel's attacks.

Bang, bang, bang.

After the hailstones missed Shellder, they exploded under Sneasel's control, forming fine ice mist.

The temperature of the entire arena became even colder.

Xia Mu noticed that more ice floes were appearing in Shellder's Water Spout.

If the temperature continued to drop, Shellder might be frozen into ice, and once it fell from the sky, it would be a lamb to the slaughter for Sneasel.

"Shellder, use Ice Shard, absorb the surrounding cold energy into your body."

Xia Mu was betting that Shellder's affinity for ice was higher than Sneasel's.

If he lost the bet, it would be the end for Shellder.

Fortunately, Shellder succeeded.

The ice floes in the Water Spout gradually disappeared, and ice shards the size of palms were condensed by Shellder.

Under Shellder's control, the ice shards flew towards Sneasel.

"Sneasel, Agility!"

Faced with the swarm of ice shards, Sneasel directly transformed into a black flash.

It weaved through the ice shards like a waltzer on ice, dodging their attacks.

Any unavoidable attacks were shattered by Nyula's metal claws.

Bang, bang, bang.

Countless egg-sized ice shard fragments appeared on the ground, and Nyula gasped for breath.

The avalanche-like attack had consumed a great deal of Nyula's stamina.

"Oh my god, no way, Gorya's Pokémon looks like it's about to be defeated by Shellder."

The newest novels are first released on 69shu吧!

"Indeed, I think so too. Nyula seems to be losing."

"Haha, have you forgotten? Although this is a friendly match, it still follows the rules of the competition. Gorya can use a recovery potion to help Nyula regain stamina."

Most of the students felt that Shellder could defeat Nyula, a rookie trainer defeating a professional trainer in public.

Even if it was the professional trainer's weakest Pokémon, it would be a great encouragement to the novice trainer.

"Go, Nyula."

Sure enough, Gorya directly threw out a recovery potion, wanting to help Nyula recover its stamina.

Nyula, panting heavily, jumped into the air, snatched the recovery potion, and gulped it down.

At this moment, Shellder floated in the air without moving, not taking the opportunity to attack Nyula.

This made Gorya take a second look at Xia Mu.

Nyula only felt a cool aura flowing through its body, and the stamina it had consumed gradually returned.

Having lost so much face just now, Nyula's eyes glared at Shellder with a frightening gaze.

Shellder hid in its shell, ignoring Nyula's fearful expression, and instead spewed a stream of water from its mouth.

The Water Gun successfully hit Nyula while it was caught off guard.

Nyula was blasted into the high sky, and after turning its head in the air, it landed safely.

"Nyula, use Icy Wind."

Nyula took a deep breath and spat out a stream of icy blue wind from its mouth.

Wherever the cold wind passed, everything was frozen into ice.

Even Shellder was frozen into ice, and it fell from the air with a thud.

The ice covering its body shattered instantly, and Shellder jumped out of the ice.

"Nyula, take this opportunity to use Metal Claw at its maximum power."

Gorya instructed.

Nyula stomped hard on the ground with both feet.

It shot towards Shellder like an arrow released from a bow.

"Shellder, use Bubble at maximum power."

Xia Mu had learned this move from Krabby's Bubble tactics.

Countless bubbles spewed from Shellder's mouth, and Nyula was caught off guard and surrounded by a large number of bubbles, its vision immediately blocked.

Even if it desperately waved its claws, the bubbles would immediately fill in as soon as they disappeared, and the ground was also soaked by the bubbles.

Nyula lost the initiative in this move.

At the same time, the slippery ground completely reduced Nyula's speed.

"Shellder, use Water Pulse to give Nyula the final blow."

Xia Mu continued to command.

"Don't even think about defeating my Nyula, Nyula use Icy Wind to the maximum extent to break the bubbles."

Nyula took a deep breath, and it suddenly spewed out icy blue streams of air from its mouth.

These icy blue streams of air passed through the bubbles, the bubbles instantly froze into ice, and then shattered in an instant, forming ice fog that spread out.

But at this time, a black shadow rushed over.

"Nyula, continue to use Icy Wind to seal the opponent's movements."

The icy blue stream of air slammed out, and even in the air, there was a crackling sound of freezing into ice.

"Oh no."

The sharp-eyed Gorya immediately noticed that this huge black shadow was actually Shellder using Water Pulse.

Under the freezing of the Icy Wind, the ice on Shellder in the Water Pulse state became larger and larger.

Under the effect of inertia, Shellder's speed did not weaken, and it slammed into Nyula like a huge iceberg.

Nyula was so frightened that its legs were shaking a little. Just as Gorya sighed and wanted to recall Nyula, Xia Mu took the lead and recalled Shellder.

"Thank you for the match."

Xia Mu clasped his hands and turned to leave.

He was giving Gorya a way out.

At this moment, a sound of rushing through the air came from behind. Xia Mu suddenly turned his head, and an icy blue thing fell into his hand.

The biting cold made Xia Mu's body tremble. The sharp-eyed Xia Mu recognized at a glance that this thing was the Millennium Ice.

For the current Shellder, it was a rare treasure.

"Consider this a reward for your Shellder."

"In addition, my Nyula can teach the move Icy Wind."

"I will be in Shenshan High School for this month. Come and find me if you have time."

Gorya said in a slightly gentler tone.

She was specially invited by Principal Ye to be a coach to train the contestants of the Little Phoenix King Cup.

"Okay."

Xia Mu smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes. He released Shellder and stuffed the Millennium Ice into Shellder's shell.

The Millennium Ice appeared with an icy blue light. After a while, it merged into Shellder's shell, and a chill flowed out of Shellder's shell.

Xia Mu felt that Shellder had now become a portable air conditioner and refrigerator.

He didn't expect that this time he not only earned the opportunity for Gorya to teach Icy Wind, but also received a piece of Millennium Ice.

I am really too smart.

Xia Mu smiled happily at this time.

Gorya continued to the stage and continued the speech she had not finished just now.

All the students present listened with great interest.

Even Xia Mu was immersed in it. It seems that Gorya still has some skills.

Principal's Office.

Principal Ye was brewing a cup of tea at this time, and she was waiting for Gorya's appearance.

"The students of Shenshan High School are really too enthusiastic."

"I was almost surrounded by students just now, and I couldn't even walk."

"However, I was almost slapped in the face by your student this time."

"I didn't expect my Nyula to be no match for him."

Principal Ye had a smiling face: "Didn't I tell you when I called you over that there are good seedlings here?"

"I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"It's a good thing he gave you a way out, otherwise you would have been defeated by him on the spot, and you would have really lost face."

Gorya smiled awkwardly, let's not mention this, we are still good friends.

"I guess your student is at least at the level of the top three in the city competition. He really knows how to grasp the time and use some unexpected tactics."
