Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 457 Subduing the Explosive Mosquito, VS The Legend in the Sacred Flame!

"Mogumogu!"

Cosmog, who had been quietly sitting in Lillie's arms, became unusually restless.

"Hey? Little Nebula, what's wrong?"

Lillie stroked Cosmog's head, then looked pitifully at Li Xuan, who had just joined her.

"Brother Li Xuan, do you know what's going on with Xiao Xingyun right now?"

"let me see."

Li Xuan took Cosmog from Lillie's arms.

Use the power of waveguides to see its emotions.

Find.

Cosmogu seemed to be afraid of something.

"Moo-moo!" (A huge mosquito is coming!)
Cosmogu made a few noises and quickly snuggled into Li Xuan's arms.

"What a huge mosquito! Where is it?"

Li Xuan had never actually seen such a large mosquito before.

He looked around, trying to see where the mosquitoes were.

"Moo-moo!" (What a huge mosquito! It's nearby! It's coming!)

Cosmogu trembled, the frequency of which gradually increased, as if some real danger was approaching.

"Hmm... Oh? There really is a faint energy fluctuation."

Li Xuan actually discovered some clues.

Looking towards the entrance to the Quartz Plateau.

"Insect, Fighting type... and there's an aura that doesn't belong to this world... Pheromosa? Or perhaps Buzzwole?"

Li Xuan immediately thought of Ultra Beasts.

These are Pokémon from beyond this world.

It exists in another space.

Necrozma is one of them.

Li Xuan glanced at the Cosmog in his arms. If he had come for it, then everything made sense.

But did the Ultimate Hole just descend directly onto the Quartz Plateau?

"Lillie, I'll go check ahead. You and Cosmog find a safe place to hide. I'll be right back."

There were many tourists nearby, so to prevent any accidents, Li Xuan took the initiative to search for the location of the Ultimate Beast.

Fortunately, the system worked well.

The relevant information was found immediately.

Pokémon: Buzzwole

[Attributes: Insect, Fighting]

【Level: 65】

[Feature: Improvement of alien beasts]

[Moves: Omitted]

"What an adorable level..."

Level 65, the level of a top player.

For ordinary tourists, if they encounter this, they have to raise their hands in surrender.

But for Li Xuan, at level 65, he could be easily handled by the second team.

"It's a good opportunity for it to practice; we have a new battle to prepare for tomorrow."

Li Xuan recalled something that D'Amaranch had told him.

That means there will be an exhibition match before the Quartz Conference actually begins.

This was mentioned before.

His own battle against Moltres.

That's right...

Li Xuan had almost forgotten about this.

However, Li Xuan accepted it gladly.

Whether it's Moltres or not doesn't matter.

The main purpose is to complete the connection of the "Three Sacred Birds of Kanto".

Otherwise, I'll capture two birds, but there's still one bird I haven't caught, which feels a bit strange.

Closer to home.

Li Xuan immediately dispatched Zapdos, leaping onto its back before charging straight towards Buzzwole.

……

……

My name is Explosive Mosquito.

It is an entity that excels at absorbing nutrients from Pokémon.

I enjoy battling powerful Pokémon; only the victors can grow stronger.

Defeating powerful Pokémon allows me to absorb more energy.

But where I am is no longer enough for me to become stronger quickly.

Taking advantage of the opening of the cave, I came to this unknown place.

Everything is unknown, but I sensed an extremely weak but extremely pure energy.

I arrived, aimlessly searching.

soon.

I encountered my first creature...

"Wash the rag!" (You two-legged beast that looks like a combination of a clown and a pheromone, you look so weak, why don't you get out of my way? I, the Bubble Mosquito, never absorb the weak. Since you're the first creature I've encountered in this other world, it's not too late to leave!)
The bloated mosquito is arrogant.

Li Xuan, sitting on Zapdos's back, remained silent.

This Pokémon is talking way too arrogantly.

How dare a mere rookie of king-level status make such harsh remarks to him?
Li Xuan felt that the world had changed.

"Judging from your expression, you probably won't let anyone finish speaking."

Li Xuan sighed, and then released his own wave power in an attempt to intimidate the Exploding Muscle Mosquito.

"Wash the rag!" (Oh, I didn't expect such a small creature to have so much power! It seems this world isn't as bad as I thought! Drink up! Take this!)

"Huh? You're going to start a fight over nothing?"

Looking at the muscular creature in front of him, Li Xuan chose to land and shouted, "Zetzart, Thunder Wave!"

If it were a head-on confrontation, Li Xuan was confident that he could defeat the Explosive Muscle Mosquito in one move.

However, the scope of the impact would be too large.

Li Xuan didn't want to attract attention.

Avoid causing trouble.

"Chirp!" (Hehehe, it's been so many chapters since I last appeared, this battle is going to be a real treat for Grandpa Zapdos!)
Zapdos said that lately it has either been appearing as a mount or on patrol, and has not had many opportunities to have a proper battle. Today, it is determined to give Zapdos a few moves.

Li Xuan naturally granted Zapdos's small request.

So, they started with an electromagnetic wave, without mentioning any offensive moves.

"Haw!"

Zapdos cried out again, its sharp feathers emitting a faint electric current that spread toward Buzzwole!

The burr mosquito is a brute.

They don't dodge electromagnetic waves because they think they're some kind of beginner's move, and choose to attack them head-on with the "Brick Break" move.

Brown flames burst forth.

Bubble Mosquito exudes a magnificent aura, radiating the unique presence of an "Ultra Beast".

"The strength is not bad, but the combat intelligence is a bit low."

Li Xuan felt somewhat helpless.

The blister beetle has some characteristics, but not many.

If it can be cultivated a little, it might be useful.

"Wash with a rag!" (Ha! A mere weak electric current, not even as powerful as the 100,000 volts of the Electric Bundle Wood, and you dare to fight me with this?!)
The muscle-bursting mosquito realized that Li Xuan was cursing him.

In its view, so-called insults are nothing more than a cover-up for the weak.

It, the Explosive Muscle Mosquito, will show the humans of this other world what true power is!
It's a blister beetle.

then.

The blister beetle is paralyzed.

"Wash...wash with a rag..." (Ugh...why do I feel so uncomfortable, I can't even move?)
The burly mosquito's pupils contracted, thinking that Li Xuan had cast some kind of evil spell on it, making it feel as if its whole body was being pierced by electricity, and thus unable to move.

"Hey, don't you guys in your world ever change your fighting styles? Do you just rely on brute force every day?"

Li Xuan covered his head.

I thought it would be another two-day battle.

The problem of the blister beetle was solved so quickly.

That's way too easy!
"Wash the rag? Wash the rag!" (A variation of moves? Hmph, you dare to show off your meager skills before an expert? Variations are only used by the weak! True masters disdain using variations to achieve victory! Even if they win, they will only be despised to death by us!)

Upon hearing "change moves," Buzzwole's expression changed drastically, and it began to curse. Its words were filled with disdain for change moves; it believed that Pokémon using change moves were all outcasts and unworthy of participating in Pokémon battles!

Li Xuan: “…”

This muscle-bursting mosquito is so single-minded!
That's too stubborn!
"call……"

Li Xuan exhaled a breath of stale air, looked at the muscle-bursting mosquito, and slowly said, "So, you're not satisfied with the outcome of this battle?"

"Wash with a rag!" (That's right, a victory achieved through variations of moves doesn't deserve to be called a victory at all. If you're so capable, defeat me fair and square! I sense a very strong fighting energy emanating from you. Are you saying that someone who practices martial arts is afraid to fight me head-on?)

The muscle-bursting mosquito spoke excitedly.

"You're right, I do play fighting games. So..."

Li Xuan dispatched the Abandoned Monkey: "Abandoned Monkey, crush it!"

"Abandon the drink!"

The abandoned monkey unleashes a furious punch.

He punched the muscle-bursting mosquito unconscious.

The matter is over, all is well.

To prevent the Burst Mosquito from causing trouble after waking up, and because the Burst Mosquito has fighting attributes, Li Xuan decided to capture it.

"Hmm... it's all red, so let's use a Poké Ball."

It's very difficult to catch Ultra Beasts with a regular Poké Ball.

But even if it's difficult, it shouldn't be too difficult in a situation where the Pokémon is already unconscious, right?
After all, the burr mosquito had lost consciousness, and to capture it under such circumstances would feel like "lacking martial ethics".

but.

Having defeated the Explosive Muscle Mosquito head-on, it's not unreasonable to subdue it as well.

Li Xuan successfully convinced himself.

He pulled a few empty Poké Balls out of his pocket.

then……

Boom!
The Poké Ball hit Buzzwole, instantly catching it.

"Nice!"

Li Xuan snapped his fingers.

boom!
The Poké Ball exploded.

"Grass."

Li Xuan lost again.

Fry it again.

After doing this dozens of times, Li Xuan's hands were starting to ache.

He gritted his teeth and pulled out the last Poké Ball, this time even using Aura Power. He aimed it at Buzzwole's weak point and hurled it!

Just like before, Buzzwole was put into a Poké Ball and shook wildly.

The local Poké Balls are too weak at controlling Ultra Beasts.

Unless it's a powerful ball like the Masterball, they're all the same.

Li Xuan squinted and walked forward step by step, not forgetting to release his waveguide power to soothe the subconscious of the muscle-bursting mosquito in the ball.

He realized that Buzzwole's subconscious would resist the constraints of the Poké Ball, which was why it burst the Poké Ball so quickly after entering it and escaped.

As long as you calm down Buzzwole, you can catch it even with the most ordinary Poké Ball.

Just as Li Xuan had expected.

He used his waveguide power to soothe the bursting mosquito's emotions.

Once the Buzzwole calmed down, the Poké Ball slowly stopped moving.

Conquered successfully.

Completely subdue the muscle-destroying mosquito.

Naturally, information registration is required.

Li Xuan weighed the Poké Ball in his hand and headed towards the Pokémon Center.

……

……

After completing the registration, everything was fine.

"Brother Li Xuan, what just happened?"

As Li Xuan approached Lillie, she peeked out and scanned him from head to toe, making sure he hadn't forgotten anything after finishing his business.

"Just now, there was just an uninvited guest. But I dealt with him easily."

Li Xuan stroked Lillie's blonde hair and took Cosmog from her arms.

Pokémon: Cosmog

[Attribute: super power]

【Level: 40】

【Characteristics: Simple】

【Moves: Omitted.】

Ok……

It's only two levels away from evolving into a Cosmome.

It probably happened in the last day or two.

Li Xuan stared at Cosmog for a long time.

Only then did he put Cosmog back in Lillie's arms and continue to stare at it.

"Brother Li Xuan, what's wrong with Little Nebula?"

Lillie noticed that Li Xuan had been staring at Cosmog for so long, and wondered if something had happened.

“It has nothing to do with it. I was thinking, should I have you do some weight training with me?”

Li Xuan's words left Lillie completely bewildered.

Eh?
Why make her do weight training?

Could it be that Brother Li Xuan really considers her a member of the dojo?!
If that's the case, then she should keep trying!
Ah!
Go Lillie!

Lillie cheered herself up in her heart.

She longs to truly integrate into the dojo and become a part of it, rather than just a decorative figure.

"It's nothing, I was just wondering if I could help you quickly learn how to lift 999.9kg."

Li Xuan had a smile on his face.

Lillie: ? ? ?

999.9kg?!
If you're not careful, it could kill someone!

"Brother Li Xuan, you're... joking, right?"

Lillie looked at Li Xuan expectantly.

"You'll understand when you grow up."

Li Xuan continued to rub Lillie's head.

"Eh?!"

Upon hearing Li Xuan's reply, Lillie even imagined herself covered in muscles, being jokingly called the female version of Shiba...

Woo woo woo.

That kind of thing is a tonic!
"Okay, I was just kidding. But it's good to train occasionally. Otherwise, if you encounter a Pokémon you can't beat in the wild, being able to run away is important."

Li Xuan withdrew his arm, took out the Poké Ball containing Buzzwole, and looked into the distance.

Necrozma and Bloatma mosquitoes again...

This situation is definitely not peaceful.

"Well, since we're here, we might as well make the best of it. No matter what kind of monsters or demons they are, once they come to Guandu, they have to sit down for me."

"Brother Li Xuan is so handsome!"

"Ahem, it's just so-so, I only got third place in the finals."

……

……

One day passed.

The next day arrived as usual.

"Gym Leader Li Xuan, what are your thoughts on today's battle? This is a battle against a legendary Pokémon. I wonder if you're as excited as the audience is thinking?"

Before the exhibition match began, reporters went to the players' room to ask questions.

"Hmm... it's alright. I've been dealing with legendary Pokémon a lot, so I'm used to this kind of thing. As for the difference between this battle and my usual battles, the only difference is that this is an exhibition match."

Li Xuan remained indifferent to the battle with the Moltres.

but.

Since we're already here, we might as well go all out.

With this thought in mind, Li Xuan walked step by step towards the main venue. Facing the sacred flame, he pointed his finger and said, "Firebird, you are the challenger!"

Everyone:? ? ?
"Wow, is Master Li Xuan really that domineering?"

"Awesome! I feel like today is the day we'll witness the completion of the final piece of the Three Sacred Birds puzzle!"
