Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

"Based on this data, it is estimated that you were matched with common-level Pokémon in the first two matches, but you may encounter veteran-level Pokémon starting from the third match. I suggest not using too many boosting moves in the early stages."

"This way we can conserve energy and effectively conceal our strength, and who knows, we might be able to achieve a few more consecutive victories," Wang He suggested.

In addition to the reward of a Spirit Treasure for a ten-win streak, the Qingyun Arena's tournament offers different rewards for three-win, five-win, and six- to nine-win streaks.

Three consecutive wins will earn you a free pass, meaning you'll get a refund of today's tournament registration fee. Five consecutive wins will grant you an additional monthly tournament pass on top of the three-win bonus, allowing you to use the arena's facilities for free.

After a five-game winning streak, each subsequent win will earn you a certain amount of Alliance Coins as a reward: 10,000 for a six-game winning streak, 20,000 for a seven-game winning streak, 30,000 for an eight-game winning streak, and 40,000 for a nine-game winning streak, for a total of 100,000 Alliance Coins.

If you achieve a ten-game winning streak, you will receive rare and expensive spirit treasures in addition to these rewards!

Such generous rewards naturally attract many trainers to take on the challenge, so there is a registration fee, which is not expensive, only five thousand League Coins.

Compared to the prizes, the registration fee is negligible, especially since winning three matches is practically free.

"Um."

After listening to Wang He's suggestion, Mu Yun nodded.

Just as he was about to say something, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

..............................

[Ding! A short-term task has been detected that the host has triggered. The task has been loaded. Please check it yourself!]

..............................

"A quest has been triggered?"

Mu Yun was slightly surprised and looked at the short-term mission section.

..............................

[Short-term mission 5: Arena battles: Your instructor wants to judge the limits of your two Pokémon by watching your battles. So, fight hard, young warrior!]

[Mission Requirements: Conduct consecutive battles in the title defense match.]

[Time Limit: 24 hours]

【Mission Reward: During this mission, you will receive an additional point of 2 times the opponent's level after defeating them.】

The three-game winning streak ends here, and the total points gained in this mission are multiplied by 3.

The five-game winning streak ends here. The total points gained from this mission will be multiplied by 5.

The mission ends after a 10-game winning streak. Total points earned in this mission will be multiplied by 10. (No penalty for failure)

..............................

"Continuous battles in the arena, extra points gained..."

Mu Yun glanced at the newly appeared short-term mission, which was about to involve him in a tournament. The reward was similar to the previous "an eye for an eye" short-term mission, which offered extra points.

However, this time the maximum multiplier is 20 times the level of the spirit.

If you play ten matches, assuming an average level of 20, you would get at least 4000 points.

That's equivalent to half the price of a Spirit Treasure!

Thinking of this, Mu Yun felt a surge of excitement and looked forward to the upcoming battle even more.

As Mu Yun waited, time slowly ticked to seven o'clock. A tall, thin man in a casual suit walked into the large central battlefield with a microphone.

"Welcome everyone to the Qingyun Arena! I'm your host for tonight, San San!"

After a brief self-introduction and to liven up the atmosphere, the two contestants arrived at the venue.

Standing on the red side is the first trainer to challenge tonight, a woman who looks very young.

Standing on the blue side was Qingyun's first opponent, a young man who also looked quite young.

"The arena battles are one-on-one, and only one Pokémon can be used. During the arena battle, the Pokémon is not allowed to be returned to its Poké Ball. After each battle, the red player can request a five-minute break or start the next battle immediately..." The referee standing on one side of the field dutifully announced the rules.

The rules are basically the same as the one-on-one battles that Mu Yun usually engages in.

It's simply because there are continuous battles, so there's an additional rule that Pokémon can't be recalled from their Poké Balls mid-battle, and the right to request a break.

"Please release your spirits!"

After the rules were announced, the referee continued.

Awesome! *2

As the sound faded, both Poké Balls bloomed together.

On the blue team's side was a dignified-looking cat leader, resembling a leopard, at level 29.

On the other side, the red challenger was a giant creature flying in mid-air, over 1.5 meters tall.

With its bluish-black wings, extra-long mandibles, and sturdy limbs, this is none other than the Bug-type Pokémon, Vikadounon!

..............................

[Pokémon: Vikadou]

[Gender: Female]

[Attribute: Bug + Electric]

[Level: 32 (Professional)]

【Characteristic: Levitation (Can float freely in the air; flight speed is higher when levitating)】

(In my setup: Flying status and Flying type do not grant immunity to Ground-type moves, but after taking off from the ground, you can avoid ground-shaking moves like Earthquake. If it's a Ground-type move like Mud Shot, it will deal normal damage if it hits.)

[Moves: Electric discharge, clamping, silk spinning, insect bite, bite, charging, electric light, crushing, 100,000 volts, sticky web]

【Items to bring: None】

[Potential: Dominant Level]

[Racial stats: 500]

..............................

Vikadounon is the final evolution of Gnatifly. Its extremely high Special Attack and decent HP make it one of the most popular Bug-type Pokémon.

Correspondingly, their price is not as cheap as that of ordinary Bug-type Pokémon; it's only slightly cheaper than the starter Pokémon.

"Level 32 vs. Level 29, does that mean the first two matches were basically free wins?"

Looking at the data of the two Pokémon in the arena, Mu Yun thought to himself.

Don't be fooled by how easily Xiao Du can defeat opponents of higher levels; that's entirely due to his extremely explosive power and the accumulation of various stats.

With a normal Pokémon, without type advantage or suitable ability, it's almost impossible to battle against a higher-level opponent, especially a much higher level one.

Not to mention, the stag beetle is known for its high damage output.

If the cat boss had been hit even once, the outcome would have been sealed.

Just as Mu Yun had expected, at first the cat leader relied on its supple body and agility to dodge and wait for an opportunity to get closer.

But as the distance closed, the Vikavolt used its electric shock ability to paralyze the Palico, followed by a Gooey Web and a Thunderbolt, defeating it in no time.

Because she was moving very fast and hadn't expended too much energy, the girl didn't choose to rest but continued fighting.

In the next match, the opponent was still only level 29, but this time it put Vikadou at great pressure because the Pokémon was named Quagsire!

It is a Water/Ground type Pokémon.

As is well known, Fairy-type Pokémon are immune to Dragon-type energy, while Ground-type Pokémon are immune to Electric-type energy.

In other words, the 100,000 volts and electric discharge that the Kujaku used so frequently in the first battle caused almost no damage to the Swamp King.

Only electric light that is accelerated by electricity can cause damage through impact.

This immediately put the stag beetle in a disadvantageous position.

"Qingyun Battle Arena is still the same as always. In the second match, the Pokémon with the superior type will be chosen to fight." In the audience, Wang He sighed as he watched the second player throw out the Quagsire.

As he spoke, he looked at Mu Yun and said, "This is also one of the difficulties in achieving a winning streak. In the second, fourth, and sixth matches, they will try their best to match you with a Pokémon whose type is super effective against yours. That's why almost no Electric-type Pokémon have ever achieved a ten-match winning streak in recent years."

Other types of attacks might only reduce damage by half, but against Electric-type Pokémon, special Electric-type moves deal no damage at all.

As for why we don't mention Dragon-type Pokémon?

I'm sorry, but the power of Dragon-type Pokémon isn't just about their type; it's about their strength in almost every aspect, including their wide move pool and robust physique.

Simple type advantages don't make it easy to defeat Dragon-type Pokémon!
