An abstract trainer who taught Charmander the Incinerate move

Chapter 297 Five-fold War God, Wan Niu is the true champion of the Unity! (Last day of double monthly tickets)
"Aaaaaah—Old Red—you're amazing—!"

This extremely impactful scene left Zi Yu feeling utterly shocked, filled with the rage of betrayal, and dizzy with the collapse of her worldview.

"Quack!!! I don't want to see it, I don't want to see teeth!!!"

That intense mental pollution, like a tsunami, instantly overwhelmed Zi Yu's fragile nerves!

Her amethyst-like eyes instantly lost all their luster, rolled back in shock, her petite body stiffened abruptly, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud, unconscious.

Her light purple bob haircut lay scattered on the floor, just like her three spirits that had lost their fighting ability, completely withdrawing from this out-of-control bull demon chaos.

Adu's sharp dragon eyes suddenly narrowed, reflecting the terrifying sight of the eerie green ghost fire soaring into the sky around Wanlong.

As a powerful being who wields the power of a true dragon, he instantly sensed the resentful energy called the [Power of Nine Oxen], which was currently pouring into and empowering Wanlong's crystal lamp spirit with an almost frenzied intensity!

This extreme power, originating from emotional distortion, soared in energy levels and was so bizarre in nature that it was in no way inferior to the true dragon power he had honed through countless trials!

"This is a huge problem... In this state, any ordinary trainer who goes up there will just be feeding the enemy!"

Adu's red-haired face was extremely solemn. Without the slightest hesitation, he suddenly reached into his pocket and threw the Poké Ball hard into the messy open space in the center of the ward!

"It's a huge hog! An emergency! Suppress it!!!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!!"

Accompanied by a deep dragon roar that seemed to come from the primordial era, a massive orange-yellow figure descended with a blinding white light!
As soon as the massive, mountain-like body of Dragonite appeared, it ruthlessly occupied the already precarious space in the ward with its unparalleled pseudo-legendary aura. Its huge wings flapped unconsciously, instantly blowing away the remaining fragments of the hospital bed and equipment like scraps of paper!
"Everyone! Evacuate immediately! Repeat, evacuate immediately!! This is not a drill!!!"

Almost simultaneously, Miss Joey's desperate shouts echoed from outside the corridor.

She and several similar dolls frantically activated the emergency plan, and a piercing alarm shattered the sky.

The structure of the Pokémon Center began to groan under the strain, and protective light curtains flickered on the walls, attempting to confine this sudden Elite Four-level duel to a limited area.

Trainers and their Pokémon were terrified and rushed toward the emergency exits like a tidal wave, guided by staff, creating a chaotic scene.

Seeing that all the bystanders had been cleared out, the last trace of hesitation in A-Du's eyes completely disappeared, replaced by a cold fighting spirit.

He pointed his fingers like a sword, his red robe fluttering wildly in the energy storm, and his voice was like a dragon's roar.

"Fatty, no need to test it! Use your most ferocious attack to disrupt its energy cycle! [Decorative Fist] Strike repeatedly, blast it!!!"

"Whoosh--!!!"

Dragonite let out a deafening roar, its short fists, disproportionate to its massive body, were now enveloped by the destructive power of the Normal-type Hyper Beam, capable of annihilating everything!

The next moment, its fists turned into two blurry afterimages, like two heavy cannons firing at full power!
"Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump—!!!!"

Countless incredibly condensed [Destructive Beams], like a torrential white meteor shower, poured towards the Chandelier Spirit with a terrifying attack speed that defied the laws of physics!

Each punch was as heavy as a falling star, and the explosive shockwaves repeatedly vibrated within the limited space of the ward, peeling and crushing the walls, ceiling, and floor like crispy biscuits. The blinding white light and deafening roar became the only main theme!

However, faced with this terrifying barrage of firepower, enough to level a small mountain, just as the torrent of [Decorative Fist] was about to engulf the Crystal Chandelier Spirit...

“Buzz——!!!”

The four candle flames of the crystal chandelier, which had transformed into a ghastly green demonic sun, suddenly erupted with a deep, eerie light. The immense ghostly energy, mixed with the tangible resentment of the fifth level, [Nine Oxen Power], surged like an erupting volcano, instantly forming five enormous gates of eerie green ghost fire in front of it!
Bull Demon's Ultimate Technique: Asura Five Bull Gates!
"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!!"

A torrent of destructive energy, powerful enough to tear apart steel and evaporate rivers, crashed violently into the five Asura Gates!

The expected devastating destruction did not occur. The five gates of ghost fire seemed to connect to the endless Bull Demon Hell, frantically devouring and neutralizing the raging general-type destructive energy!

The white light stream struck the eerie green portal, only creating violent ripples and producing a sickening sound of energy annihilation, but it could not shake its foundation!
"what?!"

Adu's pupils contracted sharply, and for the first time, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

His trump card, the [Ornamental Fist], unleashed at full power, was blocked so easily?!

Even more terrifying things are yet to come!

After enduring all the attacks from the [Decorative Fist], the bull-head runes on the five Asura Gates suddenly lit up with a dazzling eerie light!
The next moment, the five portals burst open, and five ghostly fire bull demon phantoms roared out from them, formed entirely of pure ghost energy and overwhelming resentment!
Their eyes burned with vengeful green flames. They shattered the void, emitting a moo that made the soul tremble, and charged wildly toward the enormous creature whose old power was exhausted and whose new power had not yet been generated!

"Pop?!"

A look of astonishment flashed in the eyes of the fat bean. It tried to flap its wings and retreat, but the speed of the five ghost fire war bulls was beyond imagination. In an instant, they crashed into its body covered with thick dragon scales from five different angles!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The impact of the Ghostfire War Bull is not merely physical force; it also contains a resentful impact that directly burns the soul!

The fat dragon roared with a mixture of pain and rage. Its massive body was forced to stagger backward by the continuous and terrifying impacts, leaving deep footprints on the broken ground with each step, making it look extremely disheveled!

"Ugh! My drawing—!"

At the edge of the battlefield, Yati, who had been lying on the ground frantically sketching "art of destruction," let out a shrill scream.

The terrifying aftershocks from the clash between the two Elite Four level Pokémon swept out like a tangible tsunami, instantly sending him and his drawing board flying!
"nanny--!"

Ati let out a broken shout in the air.

"Hoo ho!"

A emerald green figure flashed, and the babysitter instantly appeared in front of him, its slender forelegs waving rapidly, attempting to weave a silken barrier of [Bug Resistance] to protect the trainer.

However, the aftershocks of those Apple sprites' battles were a devastating blow to this Android sprite!

"puff--!"

The silken barrier shattered instantly, like a bubble in the sunlight. The babysitter didn't even have time to let out a complete cry before its small body was slammed by the violent energy turbulence. It was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a distant wall and losing its ability to fight.

Yati rolled around on the ground several times like a gourd before crashing into a pile of rubble, covered in dust and temporarily losing his ability to record art.

Mo Zhen clung tightly to Dan Yu's leg, barely managing to steady himself amidst the energy storm. His artist's eyes were now filled with utter shock, his pupils reflecting Wan Long's terrifying figure, like a bull demon descending to earth, and the crystal lamp spirit that completely overwhelmed A Du's enormous size.

"What terrifying power is this? It can forcefully elevate Wanlong and the Crystal Lamp Spirit to this level... This sense of oppression is simply champion-level strength!"

He thought he had anticipated the madness and power hidden within Wanlong, but the devastating scene before him still far exceeded his wildest imagination.

A jealousy storm sparked by a misunderstanding unexpectedly escalated into a championship-level battle. The direction of this plot even made him, the director behind the scenes, feel a chill run down his spine.

Just then, a towering figure bravely withstood the shockwave of the battle.

Beside the steel dragon covered in welding marks, a limited-edition streetwear outfit fluttered in the energy storm. The meticulously styled hair, even amidst the chaotic airflow, maintained its basic slicked-back look, as if it possessed an invisible force field.

The visitor was none other than Duro Gattuso, who had come to see what was going on after hearing the news.

With his hands in his pockets, his lazy gaze swept over the messy ward, first passing over Wanlong, who was surrounded by eerie green flames, and then glancing at Mozhen, who was clinging to Danyu's leg, and Danyu's slightly protruding belly.

Du Ruo's lips curled into a half-smile, and his voice stood out clearly and irritatingly amidst the roar and howls.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Mo Zhen? Wherever you go, things get lively... That lady over there who's going crazy, if I'm not mistaken, isn't that Wanlong, the president of Qidian Novel Network, one of your capable assistants, Mr. Mo Zhen? Why has she suddenly become so... passionate and unrestrained? Could it be that Mr. Mo Zhen, you've been playing around too much outside, and things have gotten out of hand at home? Tsk tsk, let me give you a piece of advice, as a mature man, you still need to be able to control your desires..."

Mo Zhen was already distraught because the situation was spiraling out of control, and when he heard Du Ruo's sarcastic and insensitive remarks, he immediately flew into a rage.

He suddenly pulled his phone out of the inside pocket of his red suit, his fingers flying across the screen with a fierce, provoked glint in his eyes.

"Control your desires? You have the nerve to say that?! Look at this?!"

Before he finished speaking, Mo Zhen had already accurately selected a video and pressed the speaker button without hesitation!
In an instant, an ambiguous video clip suddenly rang out amidst the howling of will-o'-the-wisps and heavy breathing.

In the video, it is Duro Gattuso himself, and the armored clam queen, Ms. Ruri, discussing a yoga philosophy that requires extremely high physical flexibility...

"Holy crap?! How the hell do you have this?! Turn it off! Turn it off right now!!!"

Du Ruo's lazy and playful expression froze instantly, replaced by a panicked look like a cat whose tail had been stepped on!

His handsome face turned deathly pale in an instant, his carefully maintained image as a noble young master vanished, and he almost lunged forward to snatch Mo Zhen's phone.

Mo Zhen nimbly took a step back, coldly watching him, until Du Ruo almost tripped over Xiao Huolong's tail on the ground due to her excitement, before slowly turning off the video.

Du Ruo, panting heavily, straightened her collar, which had been pulled askew, her face flushing red and then pale. She waved her hand sheepishly and softened her tone.

"Ahem...alright, alright! Well...men, these are all...all mistakes men make! Long live understanding, long live understanding! Now is not the time to talk about this, let's all think of a way to stop Miss Wanlong!"

Taking advantage of the precious moment when Adu was commanding the fat giant to barely hold back Wanlong and the Crystal Lamp Fire Spirit, drawing most of their firepower, Danyu, who had been watching the battle closely, made her move!
She endured the burning and weakness caused by the interaction between the dragon blood and the Mo Zhen gene potion, and a resolute glint flashed in her molten gold vertical pupils.

A majestic figure, resembling an ancient war chariot, a tapestry of crimson and black, descended with a thunderous roar—it was none other than Guleton, the legendary Pokémon of Padia!

Although it was severely injured in the battle of Tianjian Bridge and its aura was far from its peak, with deep scars still visible on its damaged tire-shaped organs and carapace, its legendary majesty and power still made people tremble.

It let out a deep, battle-ready roar, its crimson eyes sweeping across the chaotic battlefield before finally settling on Dan Yu and Mo Zhen.

Danyu grabbed Mozhen's wrist, who was still somewhat dazed. Her fingers trembled slightly from excitement and weakness, but the force was undeniable.

"Mo Zhen! Don't just stand there! Come with me! It's too dangerous here!"

She tried to pull Mo Zhen toward Gu Leton's broad back, and Gu Leton cooperated by lowering his body and letting out a low growl that urged him on.

However, Dan Yu's intention to elope with Mo Zhen was like pouring a ladle of ice water into a boiling oil pan, instantly triggering Wan Long's nerves, which were already on the verge of collapse!
"You...want...to...take...him...away?! You...cheating...slut...!!!"

Wanlong's eyes, burning with ghostly fire, instantly locked onto Danyu and Mozhen's tangled hands. Her attention, which had been barely diverted by Adu and Feida, was instantly drawn back as if by an invisible magnet!

She let out the most shrill and venomous roar since the start of the war, and the ghostly green flames around her surged wildly as if nuclear fuel had been injected!

"Kill!!! Kill you all!!! No one will take him away from me!!!"

As Wanlong roared with endless resentment, the four candle flames of the crystal lamp spirit floating above her head, which had already turned into a ghastly green demonic sun, suddenly shrank inward, wildly spraying the boundless ghost-type energy mixed with the ultimate resentment of the fifth level [Nine Oxen Power] into the sky!

These energies did not attack Adu and Feida, but instead rapidly intertwined and condensed in the air, instantly transforming into countless chains of ghost fire burning with a ghastly green flame!

These chains, like living venomous snakes, hissed and made a chilling sound. They descended from the sky at a speed beyond visual perception, instantly weaving together to form a huge three-dimensional cage that enveloped Danyu and Mozhen!
【Bull Demon's Forbidden Technique - Netherworld Ghost Fire Cage】

Above the will-o'-the-wisp fence, countless distorted faces of vengeful spirits appeared, wailing and radiating terrifying heat that scorched the soul and despair that penetrated to the bone!
The moment the cage was formed, it began to slowly shrink inward at a speed visible to the naked eye. The bars of ghost fire were like red-hot irons, sizzling and crackling. Wherever they passed, even the air was scorched and distorted, and the ground was corroded with charred marks.

Clearly, Wanlong did not want to kill them immediately, but rather to use this slow and painful oppression to trap them in this cage of ghostly fire and enjoy their fear and despair before they died!

"Oops!"

Dan Yu's expression changed drastically, and she tried to use Gu Le Dun's power to forcefully break through the cage.

However, Guleton was not in good condition. His [Full-Power Ram] hit the ghost fire fence, which only made the fence shake violently and dim the ghost light a little, but failed to break it completely. Instead, he was forced back a step by the recoil force, and his wounds throbbed.

As the cage of will-o'-the-wisps continued to shrink, leaving them less and less space, just as the couple were about to return home together, at this critical moment—

"Buzz!"

A strange and powerful force, like an invisible ripple, instantly enveloped the area where Wanlong was located.

It wasn't an impact of energy, but rather the forced distortion and alteration of the flow of time!
In Wanlong's and Crystal Lamp Spirit's perception, everything around them instantly sank into a near-solidified swamp, moving at an outrageously slow pace!
Only her own thoughts were still operating at a normal pace. This intense sense of disorientation from the world made her feel extremely dizzy, yet she couldn't break free from it for a while.

Immediately afterwards, the space around Wanlong distorted subtly yet clearly, like the surface of water after a stone has been thrown in.

A figure dressed in a sharp white suit, with his hair neatly combed, appeared without warning behind Wanlong, like the only normally playing segment in a slow-motion film reel.

It was Angers Cilán, the principal of the Blueberry Academy!
