Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 552 Azure Flame Blade Demon: Henshin! (Two chapters combined, please vote!)
Recalling Skarmory, Marui didn't hesitate much before throwing out his second Poké Ball.

"Go, you three moles!"

Although it's called Dugtrio, the Pokémon that actually appears differs somewhat from the Dugtrio in the public's perception.

They have the same three heads, brown bodies, and red noses, but they also have whiskers that gleam like long golden hair and have a metallic sheen on top of their heads.

That's right, the long hair, wavy hair, and watermelon head on their heads are not their hair but their beards.

And this is not just hair; it is actually a very hard metal and extremely heavy.

Its current appearance is referred to as the Alola form.

"Dugtrio, an Alolan form, is a mole Pokémon with Ground and Steel types. Legend has it that when an Alolan Dugtrio appears, it means a volcanic eruption is imminent. It is worshipped by the Alola people as the 'incarnation of the Earth God'!"

In the past, many red-faced dragons lived in the mountains of the Alola region. They liked to live underground and occupied the burrows of the dugongs.

Therefore, Dugtrio in the Alola region evolved metallic whiskers to protect itself from Rhodotorula in order to adapt to the environment.

Because of this, the Alolan Dugtrio is not only a Ground-type Pokémon but also possesses the Steel-type attribute.

This can be considered one of Marin's signature Pokémon.

Ground-type attributes pose a significant threat to Azure Flame Blade Demon.

"Blue Flame Blade Ghost, Regret Sword!"

Seize the opportunity when your opponent switches Pokémon to launch an attack; this is the price you have to pay for actively switching Pokémon.

"Gucha!"

In a flash, Azure Blade Ghost appeared beside the Alola Diglett who had just appeared, its blade, wreathed in a dark blue flame, leaving a faint trail in the air.

boom! !

At first, the Alola Diglett didn't seem to notice anything, but suddenly a muffled sound erupted from its body, and a wisp of eerie blue flame appeared.

"Gu!!"

Alolan Diglett cried out in pain as the wisp of flame quickly detached and, guided by Azure Blade Demon, flew back into its body.

The stamina depleted from using Flame Charge earlier was restored at this moment.

The Regret Sword restores the user's stamina by inflicting damage on the opponent.

Marin had anticipated this, and his calm voice conveyed the message quickly and easily to the Alola Diglett.

"earthquake!"

He knew that Teacher Jinghe had a Fire-type Pokémon, Blademaster, and that Blademaster posed the greatest threat to his Pokémon in terms of type.

Initially, the plan was to have Skarmory set up Spikes and use Whirlwind to force Skarmory to switch out, but the tactic was figured out, so the second plan had to be used: to use Ground-type Alolan Dugtrio to repel or even defeat Skarmory!
Once the most threatening Azure Flame Blade Demon is dealt with, the subsequent battles will be much easier, and the spike trap tactic can be put to good use.

Therefore, launch a full-scale attack!

Even if you trade one of the Alola Dugtrios for one of the Azure Glaives, it wouldn't be a loss!
Rumbling--

Centered on the Alola Diglett, layers of Ground-type energy began to churn, shaking the entire Rocky Terrain and even creating waves of rocks that spread in all directions.

Unless the Azure Flame Blade Demon can fly, there's no way to dodge it!

Are you going to clash with each other's moves?
Such a large-scale earthquake is something that even with the help of a stealthy attack, the Azure Flame Blade Demon cannot escape; it will inevitably be attacked sooner or later.

In that case
Jing He's eyes suddenly sharpened, and she shouted sternly:

"Azure Flame Blade Demon, come again, Regret Sword!"

Then let's go at it head-on!

Let's see who gives up first!

Although Azure Glaive is twice as weak to Ground-type, Alolan Dugtrio is also twice as weak to Fire-type.

Moreover, the Regret Sword can restore one's condition, in addition to the Azure Flame Blade Demon's...
"Gucha!"

Upon hearing this, Azure Flame Blade Demon immediately understood Jing He's meaning. Flames erupted from its body, and it stomped off the ground, defying the impact of the earthquake, and charged towards the Alola Diglett!

just.

As the Azure Blade Demon charged toward the Alola Diglett, strands of golden, hair-like metallic threads appeared on its body, restricting its movement!

curls!

This is an Alolan Dugtrio's ability: when hit by a contact attack, its hard, metallic whiskers entangle the opponent, affecting their speed.

Rumbling--

The Alola Diglett's earthquake, carrying rocks and rubble of all sizes, struck the Azure Blade Demon first.

Azure Flame Blade Demon showed no sign of backing down, simply crossing its twin blades at its chest to try and withstand the impact of the earthquake.

Kaka-

A fine crack appeared on the armor of the Azure Flame Blade Demon, spreading out like a spider web.

hiss--

Although she knew this would happen, Jinghe still couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart when she saw the armor shatter.

This breakage will cost a lot of money to repair.
Fortunately, my Hammer Girl can fix it.

However, when the Azure Flame Blade Demon's armor shattered and triggered the "Shattered Armor" property, its speed suddenly increased.

"I understand, the armor is the seal! Now the power of the Azure Flame Blade Demon has been released!" Qibana explained somewhat dramatically.

Sudden——

Despite the impact of the earthquake, Azure Blade broke through layers of obstacles and finally, with its accumulated speed, arrived in front of the Alola Dugtrio once again.

"Three ground rats, burrow underground!" Ma Rui, who was paying attention to the Azure Flame Blade Demon's condition, felt a slight jolt in his heart when he saw its speed suddenly increase, and quickly spoke up.

Swah——

The azure blade swept across, and the Alola Diglett disappeared from sight, leaving only a dark hole.

However, due to the sudden increase in speed, Alola Diglett was unable to completely dodge the blade of Azure Blade.

A wisp of eerie blue flame drifted out from the cave and disappeared into the flames of the Azure Flame Blade Demon.

Although I couldn't completely dodge it, I also couldn't completely hit it.

With the disappearance of the Alola Diglett, the entire area seemed to become calm.

"Use Flamethrower at the cave entrance!"

"Three-legged rat, quicksand abyss!"

Just as the Azure Flame Blade Demon unleashed its scorching flames at the dark cave entrance, a surge of quicksand spewed out from the cave, not only extinguishing the flames completely but also partially blocking the entrance.

Seeing this, Jinghe curled her lip.

really.

Not everyone is a fool.

Not everyone will leave a hole for their opponent to "precision strike" like in the animation.

In fact, if a Pokémon that has dug down a hole blocks the hole, changes the underground terrain, or uses some moves to fight back, such an approach is unlikely to be very effective.

But reality proved that Ma Ruiyin was not stupid.

So, do we just have to wait for the Alolan Diglett to break through the ground on its own?

Its delayed appearance is clearly a sign that it's preparing some "big move".

Not only Jing He and commentator Qi Bana, but even the audience could feel it.

"I feel like Jinghe-sensei needs to replace his Pokémon."

"While the Shattered Armor granted the Azure Flame Blade Demon increased speed, it also reduced its defensive capabilities."

"They might not be able to withstand that powerful attack from the three gophers."

But Jinghe suddenly raised her head, looked at the blazing sun high in the sky at three in the afternoon, and revealed a faint smile.

Ok?
Ma Ruiyin seemed to notice Jing He's actions, and just as she began to have doubts, she heard Jing He's voice.

"The weather is perfect today, sunny and warm."

Weather? Sunshine?
suddenly.

Ma Rui felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

See you soon.

A strong golden light suddenly appeared on the twin blades of the Azure Flame Blade Demon, a light that was not of the fire type but was equally hot and intense.

when.
Was it the flames from the jet that obscured or concealed this move?
Jinghe's smile widened.

"Since it won't come out, then let's ask it to."

"Blue Flame Blade Ghost!"

Clang! !

The double blades emitted a crisp, sharp sound.

Then, Azure Flame Blade Demon's expression turned serious. He raised his sword high, and the surrounding light seemed to dim at that moment, making the sword shine even brighter, like the sun.

Swah——

The sword slashed down without hesitation.

To the astonishment of the audience, two intersecting emerald green threads appeared on the dry, rocky ground.

silk?

next second.

boom! ! !
Centered on the intertwined threads, the entire ground exploded with a deafening roar, sending countless fragments of stone and rock flying everywhere. The shockwave from the terrifying explosion then pulverized those fragments into dust.

"What a powerful Sunblade!" exclaimed Qibana.

Sunlight Blade!
As the ground exploded, the Alola Diglett hidden underground was exposed!
How did you find it?
Ma Rui was very puzzled by this.

Even if Azure Flame Blade Demon's Sun Blade is very powerful, and even if today's weather was used to shatter the ground, how could Azure Flame Blade Demon lock onto the rapidly moving Triton underground in such a vast battlefield?
This isn't an animation; it deliberately leaves bulges on the ground when moving underground.

However, Marui knew that now was not the time to think about these things; this was the last chance for the three hamsters.

"Three-legged voles! Earthquake!!"

In the end, it still comes down to bayonet fighting!

Bear!!

The blue light belonging to the Aura Radiance in the eyes of the Azure Blade Demon subsided, and blazing flames rose from its body as it charged towards the Alola Diglett once again.

If a skilled Ground-type Pokémon user has sufficient experience, they can observe the shattered ground and the digging tracks and movements left by Dugtrio.
Dugtrio was preparing a Ground-type "one-hit kill" move, Earth Shatter!

To improve its accuracy, it deliberately pauses to prepare.

Unfortunately.
The ground shook violently, whipping up clouds of dust, and the surging flames instantly subsided, as if swallowed by the dust.

Under the unblinking gaze of the audience.

呲——

Amidst the endless yellow sand, a wisp of eerie blue flame flashed and disappeared.

In an instant.

All movement ceased, and the smoke and dust dissipated. In the crater ruins, the Alola Diglett stood in the center of the crater with a slightly dazed look in its eyes, while the Azure Blade Ghost had already appeared behind the Diglett from its original position.

The blade was half-inserted into the rock strata, leaving behind a deep, charred scratch.

Azure Flame Blade Demon slowly stood up, flicked its blade, and looked up slightly at the sun.

"Wow—"

The audience erupted in uproar.

"Holy crap, he's so handsome!"

"Why does it feel like watching a movie?"

"Damn! Putting everything else aside, being handsome is a lifelong thing!"

"I really love the Azure Flame Blade Demon, I want to catch one too."

Watching the Azure Flame Blade Demon strike a cool pose, Jing He's eyes twitched slightly, and she lowered her head to press down on her hat.

Alright, since you want to show off, then we'll indulge your chuunibyou for a while.

boom! !

suddenly.

Suddenly, flames erupted from the three gophers, engulfing them completely.

A real man never looks back to see the explosion.

Under the firelight, the figure of Azure Flame Blade Demon and Jing He's action of adjusting his hat were captured by a professional cameraman on the sidelines.

Tomorrow's headline is here!

"Holy crap! He got me!"

"Teacher Jinghe is so handsome!"

"To be honest, Teacher Jinghe is really handsome. I wonder if she needs a boyfriend?"

The Alola Dugtrio in the ruins is unable to battle!
“You did a great job, Diglett.”

Ma Rui retrieved the Diglett that had lost its ability to fight.

He was a little surprised that the Azure Flame Blade Demon could break through the ground with the Sunlight Blade and find the Three Earth Rats.

It's like, "Don't play this game, or you'll just overturn the chessboard."

Moreover, he was surprised that Azure Flame Blade Demon was able to find the location of the Three Earth Rat.

Otherwise, the underground fissures created by the three gophers burrowing would definitely be enough to instantly kill the Azure Flame Blade Demon.

Shake his head slightly.

He suppressed all the thoughts in his heart and stopped thinking about those so-called "what ifs".

Although the three mole maggots lost, the Azure Flame Blade Demon's condition is also affected. Don't be fooled by its cool appearance; its condition is definitely not good.

The last move.

This is the key point!

Taking a deep breath, Ma Rui gripped the last Poké Ball and threw it.

"It's up to you, Metagross!"

"Kang Jin!!"

A ferocious Metagross appeared on the field; this was Marin's ace.

Of course, Marin's Metagross isn't a Shiny Pokémon, and not everyone is as rich as Steven.

However, the glitter is only an appearance and does not have much impact on its strength. Metagross's appearance and imposing roar brought it a lot of cheers.

Although Metagross, being a Steel/Psychic-type Pokémon, is still weak to Blastoise, it is a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, and Blastoise is in a different state.
Why aren't you replacing your Pokémon yet?

Jinghe actually wanted to switch, but Cangyan Rengui anticipated this and used waveguide to convey his will to continue fighting.

It's alright!

It's in excellent condition!

"Gucha!!" The Azure Flame Blade Demon swung its sword, its gaze fixed intently on the Megalomon. It was truly "intense," as the firelight in its eyes grew even more intense.

Bear!!

Flames also erupted from the Azure Flame Blade Demon's body, from its head, its blade, and the gaps in its shattered armor!

"Fire?"

Seeing this, even Cibana was stunned for a moment.

Does Azure Blade Demon also have the Blazing Fire ability?
Wasn't that shattered armor shown earlier?
"Idiot, this isn't a raging fire." Da Ye, sitting casually in the audience, showed disdain for Qi Bana's "knowledge."

No fire is as fierce as this.

This is clearly the flame of life!

Azure Flame Blade Demon's condition is slowly recovering.

Add the Sword of Regret
After finishing the fight, I discovered that not a single drop of blood in my health bar was mine!
Although Ma Rui didn't know what state the Azure Flame Blade Demon was in, both he and the Metagross could sense that the Azure Flame Blade Demon had gone into a "power surge".
The oppressive aura and the sense of threat it posed grew stronger and stronger.

Therefore, even though the Azure Flame Blade Demon was not in good condition at the moment, Ma Ruiyin did not dare to underestimate it in the slightest and immediately put away his contempt.

"Metamorphoses, fly!"

Although Metagross isn't a Flying-type Pokémon, it can achieve a flight effect using its psychic powers and the magnetic field it emits. He chose the most cautious approach in the battle.

"Gucha!"

The Azure Flame Blade Demon raised its head, looking at the giant metal monster gleaming with metallic luster in mid-air. The flames on its body grew even more intense, as if they were about to burst forth at any moment.

I don't believe you can stay flying in mid-air forever.

"Metrogross, Comet Punch!"

As expected, Ma Ruiyin still chose physical attack.

Unfortunately, although the Azure Flame Blade Demon's speed was greatly increased after triggering the Shattered Armor twice, its physical defense was also significantly reduced.

Ma Rui had a premonition.

If we can't eliminate the Azure Flame Blade Demon as quickly as possible, then perhaps it really will be difficult to resolve.

so.
hum-

He raised his arm, and the Z bracelet on his wrist gleamed with a bright silver metallic luster. The energy came from the Z Pure Crystal embedded in it!

At the same time, Ma Ruiyin also made a move that Jing He considered somewhat shameful.

However, it is precisely because of this set of moves, as well as the power of the Z Crystal, that Metagross's moves have been greatly enhanced.

"Super Spiral Combo!!"

"Kang Jin!!"

The giant metal monster that was falling from the sky suddenly emitted a terrifying metallic luster, crashing down vertically towards the Azure Flame Blade Demon like a meteor falling to the ground.

"It's a Z-Move!"

"It seems Mr. Marin couldn't resist using the Z-Move after all!"

"This is going to be a bit of a problem for Azure Flame Blade Demon and Teacher Jinghe."

Because Marlene possesses Steel-Z, it can only be used against Steel-type moves, but the effectiveness of Steel-type moves against Fire-type Azure Glaive will inevitably be weakened.

He originally intended to save other Pokémon for Jing He, but now he has no choice but to use this to defeat Azure Blade Demon!

finally come.

Jinghe had been waiting for Ma Ruiyin's move.

"Azure Flame Blade Demon, hold the line!"

"Gucha!"

Enveloped by a verdant green barrier.

“We can’t stop them!” Ma Ruiyin shouted.

indeed.

While a defensive move can't completely block a Z-Move's attack, it can at least...
It can withstand most of them.

boom! ! !
The protective barrier shattered, and the terrifying impact unleashed a torrent of metal. The Azure Flame Blade Demon was sent flying backward, and cracks reappeared on its armor, a sight that truly pained Jing He.

His desire to call back the Azure Flame Blade Demon was also, in a way, to better protect the armor.
The repair costs have increased again.

But there was nothing he could do; the Azure Flame Blade Demon still wanted to fight and was full of fighting spirit, so Jing He chose to respect its wishes.

Sure enough, although the Azure Flame Blade Demon was thrown back, it quickly regained its footing, its feet and the blade simultaneously carving out scorched furrows in the ground.

Even with the Azure Flame Blade Demon protected by the Shattered Armor, which reduced its defense so much, it still couldn't be killed instantly?

Ma Rui frowned.

"Metrogross, strong mind!"

Let's fly kites then.

Make good use of your strengths.

hum-

The impact of superpowers and mental strength converging.

As long as the Azure Blade Demon can't touch the Metagross, even if its flames can regenerate, it can be slowly worn down.

But Jing He and Cang Yan Ren Gui smiled at the same time.

"You're finished, now it's our turn, Azure Flame Blade Demon!"

"Gucha!"

The Azure Flame Blade Demon, understanding the implication, flicked its blade to retrieve the weapon, then reached out and grabbed the protrusion on the armor.

"Genga~!" Gengar floated out of Jinghe's shadow and stood beside him, making a megaphone shape with his hands and shouting.

Henshin!

Click——! !

As the button on the Azure Flame Blade Demon rotated, the originally dark blue flames on its body turned crimson, and the wisp of golden flame within became even more vivid.

As the flames gradually subsided, the Azure Flame Blade Demon's appearance underwent a tremendous change, transforming into the Crimson Lotus Armored Knight.

"How...how could this be?!" Chibana exclaimed.

Wow——! !

There was an uproar.

How can it be?

The Azure Flame Blade Demon has transformed into the Crimson Lotus Armor Knight?!

How... how did you do that?
If everyone hadn't been certain that Jinghe hadn't replaced the Pokémon, the audience would have thought they were seeing things and hadn't seen the scene where Teacher Jinghe replaced the Pokémon.

But now the Crimson Armored Knights are truly present before everyone.

"Could it be that this is a characteristic of Azure Flame Blade Demon and Crimson Lotus Armor Knight that no one has yet discovered? After Tanjiro evolves, he can actually switch between them freely?" Kibana murmured.

Is that so?

No matter how shocked the audience was, or how astonished Marin was, the battle continued.

As expected, no one understands, so it won't be banned. Jing He thought to herself.

hum-

Faced with Metagross's psychic attack, Crimson Knight also channeled his own psychic power to counter it with a mental shock.

boom!
The two superpowers collided in mid-air, creating ripples.

No, even if the Azure Flame Blade Demon transforms into the Crimson Lotus Armor Knight, its condition cannot be fully restored!
Ma Rui quickly calmed down and immediately changed his strategy again.

"Idea hammer!"

Metagross had no choice but to resort to melee physical attacks again.

And the Crimson Lotus Armored Knights.
Click! !

The armor on his left and right hands converged, the golden cannon was aimed at Metagross, a golden flame of life flickered in his eyes, Aura locked on, cannon ready!

call--

The Crimson Lotus Knight exhaled softly, white smoke escaping from his mouth. The flames on his entire body seemed to have extinguished, leaving only the golden cannon barrel where energy was frantically gathering.

The Flame of Life! Rainbow Feathers! Aura Power! Superpowers!

A waveguide power also appeared in Jing He's eyes.

Waveguide, injection!
buzzing-

Flames surged from the cannons of the Crimson Armored Knights, accompanied by fluctuations, as their gazes were fixed on the descending Metagross.

A Krenouille cannon?
Do not!
Wave Armored Cannon!
The audience members sitting in the front row subconsciously shrank back.

This shot felt...
boom! !

The terrifying cannon fired, and the enormous recoil caused the Crimson Lotus Knight's body to plow two deep furrows in the ground, and he was pushed back several meters before finally regaining his footing.

And the blazing flames that shot out.
Thick as a cannon beam, or like a roaring fire dragon, it surged forward with a wave of energy, shooting straight toward Metagross.

The scorching heat and massive attack range left Metagross with no way to dodge; it could only gather its superpowers to create a barrier while unleashing its psychic hammer.

But in just a moment, Metagross was completely engulfed by the flames.

One wave after another, the fluctuations even subtly hinted at the rhythm of a combo attack.

Boom! !

The giant cannon slammed into the barrier of the battlefield, and amidst the violent tremors of the barrier, it actually opened a gap in the dome!
Flames shot into the sky, illuminating the heavens.

The temperature in the room suddenly rose, and the audience stared in disbelief, mouths agape.

"What an exaggerated shot!"

"Was that shot a foul?"

"How come even the barriers at the Masters tournament aren't reliable?"

"Watching Teacher Jinghe's matches is dangerous even for spectators!"

"This move... it feels even more Z-Move-like than a Z-Move!"

The barriers at the scene were all broken!

The stadium staff had to carry out emergency repairs.

At this point, the audience realized that the already dilapidated battlefield was now completely charred!
Metagross.
"Mega Metagross is unable to fight!" the referee, sweating profusely, stammered.

wow——

The whole audience was in an uproar again.

Wow, that was done in seconds?!

Is it that exaggerated?
But the spectators who had just had this question glanced at the hole in the arena barrier. Well, it really was that exaggerated.

This is the barrier of the Masters tournament!

It's already broken like this?
Teacher Jinghe – the one who loses money on the field!
They were destroying the arena before, now they're destroying the barriers.

The organizers suffered a huge loss.

"Exaggerated, outrageous, and exhilarating!"

"Damn, I'm increasingly eager to capture a Crimson Blade Demon. If it could really transform into a Crimson Armored Knight, that would be so cool."

Even if the Megalodon has higher defense than the Beastmaster, this one-shot kill is still possible.

Are the audience here to see everyone being nice and agreeable?
Do not!
They love watching these kinds of quick kills, dirty tricks, and unconventional tactics; that's what makes it interesting.

"I understand the Khenon, and the Aura! The Crimson Knights also used the power of the Aura!" As expected of "the number one person below Dan Tai", after carefully recalling it, he finally understood the key.

It turns out that the shot just now was not only powered by the Krynn Cannon, but also by a waveguide and superpowers!
No wonder it was so powerful.

"This shouldn't be called the Krenen Cannon, it should be called the Wave Annihilation Cannon!"

As expected of someone who does live streaming, Qibana quickly came up with a gimmick.

After he explained it, the audience realized how difficult that shot was; it wasn't something anyone could execute simply by subduing a Crimson Armored Knight.

but.

can be seen.

After firing that shot, Crimson Knight's condition completely collapsed. He was half-crouched on the ground, panting heavily, clearly having almost lost his ability to fight.

I can come back now.
Jing He successfully retrieved the Crimson Lotus Armored Cavalry.

If we keep fighting, we really won't be able to afford to repair the armor.

"just?"

Is it my turn? Is it my turn? Is it finally my turn?
After losing Metagross, Marui was left with only one Skarmory, which was in poor condition.

It was because Azure Flame Blade Demon wanted to fight before, but now that Azure Flame Blade Demon can't fight, it's getting impatient.

Furthermore, the studs left by the Skarmory pose little threat to a Steel-type Greatsmith.

but.

In fact, the following battles were not very meaningful, as Marius had no chance of turning the tide with only a Skarmory that was in poor condition.

And to be honest, the Crimson Knight's cannon shot also stunned him a bit.

In fact, anyone would be a little confused if they saw Azure Flame Blade Demon transform into Crimson Armor Knight without any preparation, let alone the exaggerated attack of Crimson Armor Knight.

So the final result was no surprise.

"Skewer is unable to battle! All three of Marin's Pokémon are unable to battle!"

The referee waved his flag, announcing, "Therefore, the winner is Jing He!"

The referee, whose clothes were somewhat charred, secretly decided that from now on, whoever wanted to be the referee for Teacher Jinghe's matches could be the referee! He, for one, was no longer going to be one.

Danger!
The entire stadium erupted in thunderous cheers.

This match was thrilling to watch!

In the audience, Mamane stood with his mouth agape, seemingly still reeling from the blast from the Crimson Knights.

"That's...that's way too exaggerated."

Kiawe, who is passionate about Fire-type Pokémon and also loves explosions, murmured to himself.

His eyes were fixed intently on Jing He on the field, as if he were seeing his idol.

He used to think about challenging Jing He, but now he doesn't.

He just wanted to ask Jing He how to unleash such an exaggerated fire-type move.

I wish his Blazemon could learn.

Mao and Shui Lian exchanged a glance; their faces were flushed with excitement.

Although the opponent defeated was Marien, who was also from the Alola region, Jinghe-sensei was so cool! So strong!
When will Principal Cheng Ye Da Mu be able to invite Teacher Jing He to teach at the school?
"Teacher Jinghe, you've gotten even stronger!" Da Ye smacked her lips.

Da Ye had experienced some of the effects of that cannon shot from the Crimson Lotus Knight back when he was still a Tanjiro.

However, its power is now incomparable to what it once was.

"What? You want to fight Teacher Jinghe?" Wusong glanced at him sideways.

"Of course!" Da Ye clenched his fist.

"Faced with your words, Teacher Jinghe might use an unexpected Pokémon," Wusong said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Breastfeeding" is everyone's responsibility.

"W-what do you mean?"

"I heard that Teacher Jinghe has a Pokémon that took on Kyurem in a one-on-one battle."

Upon hearing this, Da Ye's expression hardened. "A mere Ice-type Pokémon?"

Cynthia rested her chin on her hand, her bright eyes watching Jing He shake hands with Ma Ruiyin on the field, and the corners of her mouth kept turning up.

For some reason, she was also increasingly inclined to fight Jing He.

Regardless of the circumstances, shouldn't we be able to distinguish between male and female, and who is superior or inferior?
It wasn't just her and Da Ye.

A-Du, Daigo, and the others also showed their eagerness to fight Jinghe.

It seems like I've never really had a proper fight against Jing He.

"Ah-"

Jing He sneezed as he shook hands with Ma Ruiyin.

"Genga?" Gengar tilted its head.

Got a cold?
Jinghe rubbed her nose. "No, it's probably because the temperature fluctuates so quickly."

"Teacher Jinghe, it's a pleasure to have this match against you." Ma Ruiyin didn't seem disappointed by the loss, and shook hands with Jinghe with a smile.

“Me too,” Jing He said sincerely.

Ma Ruiyin is actually quite strong, but he just happened to encounter the stubborn Azure Flame Blade Demon.

"We look forward to your visit to Alola."

"Will do."

Beaches, sunshine, the sea. I'll go there eventually.

Jinghe has successfully advanced to the top 16!
The opponents he may face next are even more "terrifying".
