Pokemon: Daily Intelligence Updates

"Standing to my right is Xia Mu from Shenshan Middle School, who has only sent out Shellder to fight each time."

"He hasn't used his second Pokémon yet. I wonder what kind of surprise he'll bring us."

Compared to Liu Li's overwhelming cheers, there were very few people supporting Xia Mu.

Obviously, many people were not optimistic about Xia Mu. After all, Liu Li is the daughter of Liu Dazhan from the Great Earth Gym. This guy is one of the eighteen gym leaders in Yan Country, known as Liu Dazhan of the Earth.

His strength is infinitely close to that of a quasi-heavenly king.

With the blessing of his father's halo, Liu Li is naturally a popular candidate for the city's Little Phoenix King Cup this year.

In comparison, Xia Mu is much inferior.

But Xia Mu is not such a superficial person.

"Xia Mu, I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time."

"I'll let you see how powerful I, Liu Li, am."

"I will use the Pokémon you found yourself to completely defeat you."

Liu Li didn't know how long she had waited for this day. She wanted to defeat Xia Mu completely in front of everyone and pick up the face she had lost.

In the heat of the moment, tears streamed down Liu Li's cheeks.

Xia Mu:

If you want to say harsh words, just say them. Why are you crying? It's as if I did something.

"Now, I announce that the match officially begins. Please both sides send out your Pokémon."

Xia Mu and Liu Li threw out their Poké Balls one after another.

The moment she saw Shellder appear, a glint flashed in Liu Li's eyes.

As expected, Xia Mu's first Pokémon was Shellder.

That Shellder who is good at Water Gun and flying in the air.

Then my Alolan Geodude will definitely be able to take the lead and win a round smoothly.

"Xia Mu, I will use the Pokémon you gave me to defeat your Shellder."

Shellder blinked. This Geodude looks familiar.

Isn't this the Geodude that I tortured every day in training?

Good, the serf has turned over to become the master, huh?

You can't tell the difference between big and small anymore, can you!

I'm going to tell you, your daddy is still your daddy.

Don't blame me for stepping on you in the mud. You asked for it!

Water flowed around Shellder's body, and Shellder was in a position where it could attack or defend.

BGM should be playing here.

Geodude stared wide-eyed. It was waiting for its trainer's command to unleash its power.

"Geodude, use Spark!"

A large number of electric arcs suddenly surged from Geodude's body, and streaks of lightning shot out.

A cold glint flashed in Shellder's eyes, which was wrapped in water.

You think you can defeat me with such a slow speed?

That's just a dream!

I thought you would have improved, but it seems I'm still disappointed.

Don't you see who the Pokémon that often fights it is? It's Pichu, known as the Golden Flash.

As a blue-quality Pichu, its specialty lies in the speed of using skills.

Generally, Pichu's evolution, Pikachu, takes at least five seconds from the skill preparation time to the release of the Thunderbolt skill.

And Pichu's Spark skill can be used in one second without charging. It is a well-known speed attacker in Xia Mu's team.

Shellder's body is often numb from Pichu's electricity, and it takes a long time to recover.

However, precisely because of this high-intensity training, Shellder's reaction ability has been greatly improved.

The moment the Spark shot out, Shellder used Water Gun to soar into the sky.

It soared into the sky and flew into the high altitude.

The Spark exploded where Shellder was originally standing.

With a bang, a not-so-small pit appeared on the ground.

The inside of the pit was pitch black, and wisps of white smoke emerged.

"Shellder, use Water Gun."

After this period of training, Xia Mu's command level has improved significantly.

Shellder, floating in the air, opened its shell, and a Water Gun gushed out from the shell.

Seeing this scene, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Liu Li's mouth.

I've been prepared for this move for a long time.

"Alolan Geodude, use Defense Curl + Rollout."

Alolan Geodude curled its body into a ball, and it spun around on the ground at high speed.

The bowl-thick stream of water fell from the sky and dispersed into thousands of thin lines just as it was about to approach Alolan Geodude.

This was a move that had never been seen before.

Liu Li was stunned.

Water Gun is just Water Gun, why make it so fancy?

Could it be that dispersing the water flow can increase the attack power?

The thought flashed through Liu Li's mind.

A series of bangs were heard, and a large amount of gunpowder smoke mixed with water mist spread out.

It was also accompanied by Alolan Geodude's miserable cry.

Was Alolan Geodude hit by Water Gun?

Did the high-speed rolling defense tactic not work?

That's not right, Alolan Geodude in high-speed rotation should not have been hit by Water Gun, right?

Liu Li felt that this matter was very strange.

"Alolan Geodude."

Liu Li shouted loudly into the smoke.

Unfortunately, Geodude did not respond.

It was hit by Water Gun just now, its whole body was wet, and the electric arcs wrapped around it put it into a paralyzed state.

Geodude squinted, its fists crossed together, and a trace of pain appeared on its face.

Water can conduct electricity and also cause great harm to Geodude.

"Shellder, continue using Water Gun."

Another stream of white water blasted out.

The water flow tore a hole in the diffused smoke and blasted Alolan Geodude away.

Bang.

Alolan Geodude was hit by Water Gun and smashed straight into the cracked wall.

In the morning, Little Fire Monkey had crashed into it, leaving a herringbone-shaped dent.

Under the impact of Alolan Geodude, the already fragmented wall finally pierced a hole.

It was also seriously injured as a result and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

"You're kidding me, Alolan Geodude lost?"

"Although Alolan Geodude has Electric-type, it also has Rock-type. If it is hit by Shellder's Water Gun, losing should be inevitable."

"To be honest, Alolan Geodude does not have an advantage in terms of attributes, and its movements are very slow. If it weren't for the Rollout skill supporting its fast movement, it might be a standing target."

The students were talking about it. Some felt that it was because Liu Li was careless, some thought that Alolan Geodude did not have an advantage, and some thought that Xia Mu's command ability was better.

This battle, which ended in less than five minutes, seemed like an invisible slap in the face of Liu Li.

This also damaged Liu Li's proud self-esteem.

This defeat was too fast.

Facing a genius trainer like Xia Mu, Liu Li felt that her efforts had become a joke.

But Liu Li hasn't lost yet. The blood in her whole body is boiling.

As Liu Dazhan's daughter, even if there is only the last Pokémon left, she has to fight to the end, let alone this is only the first round.

Her teeth bit through her crimson lips, and a hint of rust filled her mouth.

This was the lifelong enemy she had chosen, and they were indeed exceptional.

She needed to grow in adversity, like a tenacious blade of grass.

“Alolan Geodude is unable to battle, please have Trainer Liu Li switch Pokémon.”

“Does Trainer Xia Mu wish to switch Pokémon?”

The referee signaled to Xia Mu.

“I choose to switch Pokémon.”

Xia Mu decided to recall Shellder and send out Aron.

Aron was one of his strongest members. Ever since Xia Mu solved its hunger problem, Aron's strength had skyrocketed.

It was already about the size of a Lairon, and after these few days of constant eating, it had grown even more.

Of course, this also brought a heavy financial burden to Xia Mu.

After all, Aron ate exceptionally expensive and rare minerals, costing several Yan Huang coins per gram.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

So, without money, you really shouldn't become a trainer.

Xia Mu was only able to afford the Pokémon's exorbitant food costs because he had recently traded Pokémon and made a small profit.

That's why Xia Mu was determined to follow the path of a breeder.

“Come on out, Gligar.”

“Come on out, Aron.”

Gligar and Aron were released simultaneously.

Aron's entire body radiated a silvery-white light, and its eyes were full of vigor.

It also exuded a faint pressure, with gravity rings attached to all four feet. Its overall size was even larger than a Lairon.

From a distance, it looked like a small mountain.

The moment it emerged from the Poké Ball, the ground couldn't bear its weight.

A series of cracking sounds could be heard, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground.

Gligar had grown much larger than before, and it flew nimbly in the sky, occasionally performing a free-fall.

“Gligar versus Aron, Gligar is at a disadvantage in terms of type.”

After all, Gligar was a Ground/Poison-type Pokémon.

However, Gligar's speed and flexibility compensated for this disadvantage.

“Gligar, use Tailwind to increase your speed.”

Two gusts of wind instantly appeared under Gligar's wings, and its speed increased significantly.

At this moment, Gligar was like a wind spirit flying with the wind.

Aron, on the other hand, stared intently at Gligar, looking eager to try.

Gligar's movement speed was too slow. In Aron's eyes, it was simply as slow as a snail.

This speed was far inferior to Pidgey.

Aron usually sparred with Pidgey. Equipped with the Black Iron Ball, Aron's Ground-type moves could hit Flying-type Pokémon or Pokémon with the Levitate ability.

Pidgey evaded Aron's attacks, increasing its speed, while Aron treated Pidgey as a fast-moving target.

Only through mutual training could the two Pokémon's strength greatly improve.

“Rock Tomb.”

Upon hearing the command, Aron gathered earthen-yellow rock energy in the sky.

This energy converged, forming a large number of one-meter-tall rocks that fell from the sky.

“Gligar, dodge it.”

Gligar felt a dark shadow approaching in the sky. When it looked up, it saw endless rocks falling from the sky, and Gligar was almost scared to pee.

It hurriedly and frantically dodged in the air.

Gligar was lucky. After dodging for a while, it actually managed to evade the attack.

Just when it barely avoided the Rock Tomb attack, Xia Mu's second command came.

“Use Smack Down.”

Aron took a deep breath, and earthen-yellow rock energy gathered on top of Aron's head.

A one-meter-tall earthen-yellow rock condensed, and it shot out at high speed in mid-air like a cannonball.

The earthen-yellow rock shattered in mid-air, forming countless dense small stones.

Gligar barely managed to breathe a sigh of relief, but it realized that it simply had nowhere to hide.

Its body was engulfed by the gravel, and along with a large amount of gravel, it fell to the ground.

The gravel falling on the ground stirred up a lot of dust, and the gravel piled up into a small mountain, with Gligar trapped underneath, unable to move for a long time.

Liu Li's second Pokémon was defeated.

She gasped.

Shellder was one thing, after all, it was Xia Mu's strongest Pokémon.

But why was Aron, a Pokémon that Xia Mu had only recently captured, also so strong?

Just that one move just now had a power comparable to Rock Blast.

How exactly did Xia Mu train his Pokémon?

Although she didn't want to admit it, Xia Mu's talent as a trainer was definitely above her own.

She didn't lose unjustly.

“Gligar is unable to battle, please have Trainer Liu Li switch Pokémon.”

“Does Trainer Xia Mu wish to switch Pokémon?”

Liu Li had already lost two in a row, but her face didn't show any signs of frustration. Instead, she became more courageous with each setback.

She gripped the Poké Ball tightly in her hand, a glint flashing in her eyes. A large amount of sweat seeped from her forehead and dripped onto the ground along her cheeks.

Liu Li's palms were secretly sweating.

This was the last round. Whether she could reverse the previous losses depended on this round.

Although Shellder and Aron were not easy to deal with, if she won this round, there was still a chance for a heaven-defying comeback.

Xia Mu chose to continue switching Pokémon.

He didn't want his Pokémon to be too tired, because there was still the final waiting for him.

Xia Mu had a feeling that in the next round, he would definitely be facing Ye Linglong.

The Pokémon in Ye Linglong's hands were not weak, especially the Gyarados that he had recently found for Ye Linglong.

It wouldn't be easy to defeat this Pokémon.

In the third round, Xia Mu sent out Houndour, while Liu Li used her trump card, Rhydon.

Liu Li's Rhydon was as big as a small mountain, and two streams of thick air came out of its nostrils.

Its eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Rhydon intended to defeat Houndour head-on and regain the face it had lost before.

Houndour, on the other hand, yawned.

Staying in the Poké Ball just now was really boring.

Houndour, who loved freedom all his life, had become accustomed to letting the unrestrained wind blow on his body.

The cramped Poké Ball had already made Houndour a little unaccustomed.

Houndour, you've had too many good days, you've become a little decadent.

After seeing the expression on Houndour's face, Xia Mu naturally knew what Houndour was thinking. He patted his head.

He had earned a lot recently, it was time to get everyone a high-end Poké Ball.

The space inside the high-end Poké Ball was quite large, and the Pokémon would live more comfortably.

Here it comes, here it comes.
