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

In the training ground of the logistics camp.

A large crowd had gathered on the battlefield.

These were the garrison troops who had just eaten and drunk their fill and were now fighting alongside Mu Yun.

The first match was against Mu Yun's old friend, Wang Fugui!

"Please release your spirits!"

One of the people acting as the temporary referee shouted.

"Go, Molten Ant Beast!"

Knowing that Mu Yun was going to train a new Pokémon, Wang Fugui did not send out his ace Pokémon—Lava Snail.

Instead, they unleashed a veteran-level Molten Ant Beast that was only level 29.

"Shin-chan, it's your turn now."

Mu Yun sent Xiao Xin instead.

Since Xiaoxin was hatched, there has been almost no serious battle.

Normally, he either trains or has one-on-one sparring matches with Xiao Tie.

Therefore, when Shin-chan appeared on the battlefield, he looked quite excited.

"Meow!!"

(Finally, it's time for Shin-chan to show his amazing skills!!)

"Tirey Meow? A grass-type Pokémon?"

Wang Fugui was slightly taken aback when he saw the elf that Mu Yun had sent out.

No, buddy, although I can't beat your Beedrill... and I can't beat your Pidgeot and Ice Ninetales, isn't it a bit disrespectful of you to use a Tidreamy?

Even if you're handsome, a great cook, and incredibly talented, you can't do this!

Wang Fugui thought to himself, "This is a bad thing."

He's a member of the Blazing Fire Squad, after all. Fire types are super effective against Grass types, don't you understand?!

Not only Wang Fugui, but most of the people watching the battle thought the same way.

If it weren't for the fact that they were obliged to pay for the food, and that Mu Yun's Beedrill, Pidgeot, and Ninetales had indeed exerted tremendous pressure despite being at the opposite type, they would have really had something to say about it.

But for now, let's wait and see.

"Both Pokémon are in position, let the match begin!"

"Molten Ant Beast, use Flame Vortex!"

Holding his breath, Wang Fugui immediately shouted.

I can't beat your Beedrill, but I can't beat your newly bred Tire Cat?

"Shin-chan, Quick Attack plus Water Balloon!"

As Wang Fugui spoke, Mu Yun's voice rang out simultaneously.

Almost the instant Mu Yun finished speaking, Xiao Xin's body was enveloped in a white light.

Then, a blue water sphere appeared in his palm.

The water sphere was about the size of a basketball, with a faint mist surrounding it, and it didn't seem to have any power.

"What kind of move is water polo?"

Some people around asked in confusion.

"have no idea."

Not only the person who asked the question, but everyone else who heard Mu Yun's instructions also showed expressions of doubt.

It sounds like a water-based move, but they have no idea how powerful it actually is.

Most importantly, isn't Tirion a Grass-type Pokémon? Why is it using a Water-type move?

Even more outrageous is how a newly bred Pokémon could use two moves at the same time?

Isn't this a high-end combat technique that the battalion commander and his main Pokémon have only just begun to learn?

A series of questions arose in their minds.

But Xiaoxin in the arena didn't give them much time to think.

Having witnessed the terrifying performances of her older brothers and sisters before, she had no idea how strong she was.

On the contrary, because he had never broken through Xiao Tie's defense, he always thought he was very weak.

Therefore, as it was her first time competing, she naturally couldn't lose her trainer's momentum and immediately showed 200% fighting spirit.

Almost as soon as flames began to form around the mouth of the Molten Ant Beast, Tire Meow, enveloped in white light, flashed lightly and quickly in front of the Molten Ant Beast, just like a Water Jump Spider.

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

[Type: Grass → None → Water]

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

She slammed a water-attribute energy ball the size of a basketball down on its head, hitting the ant beast's gaping maw as it charged up.

scoff~~~

Flames and water clashed, producing a series of sounds.

Warm water mist spread out from the two elves.

Having long been accustomed to battling Xiao Tie, Xiao Xin didn't even need Mu Yun to speak. As soon as one ball was finished, another water-attribute energy ball appeared.

boom! !

Double the advantage plus the power boost from moves of the same type.

This time, the molten ant beast, having been hit squarely, felt somewhat dizzy and disoriented.

However, before he could react, two more water balls came hurtling towards him.

Bang bang!!!

"Huh!!!"

Those watching from the sidelines couldn't see clearly through the mist, but they could hear the continuous sounds of striking and the screams of the Molten Ant Beast.

"Hiss~~, this attack frequency, is Tirecat really a Grass-type Pokémon?"

"It must be because of its rare hidden ability, 'Transform Freedom,' so it specifically trained this Water-type move called Water Ball."

"Possibly. As expected of Master Mu, his skills are superb, especially in Pokémon breeding!"

As the surrounding people discussed the scene, the mist in the room quickly dissipated.

After everyone saw the scene clearly, they saw Shin-chan holding a water balloon, looking bewildered, and the Antmon, who had fainted at some point and whose eyes had turned into mosquito coils.

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

[Ding! Tire Meow (23) defeated Molten Ant Beast (29). Permanent Quest 1: Battle Completed. The opponent's level is equal to yours. Congratulations, host! You have gained 29 points. Tire Meow's growth level has been slightly increased!]

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

[Ding! Through continuous efforts, Tire Cat's growth level has increased. Current level: 24!]

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

"I lost?"

Wang Fugui rubbed his eyes, seemingly still a little dazed.

No, he and Mu Yun only shouted one sentence from beginning to end, so how did the match end?

Shin-chan, who was also in the audience, shared the same question.

"Meow?"

(Is that all? Was the opponent that weak?)

Shin-chan looked at the water-attribute energy ball gathering in his left palm, then at the unconscious Molten Ant Beast, his face full of confusion.

If the ant-like creature on the ground hadn't remained motionless, she would have suspected it was faking unconsciousness.

Xiao Tie was fine even after being hit by dozens of energy balls, so how come this strange elf collapsed in just a few hits?

Could it be that I suddenly had an epiphany and became stronger?!

Does this mean I can beat Xiao Tie?

Thinking of this, Shin-chan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"What is this child thinking about now...?"

Seeing Shin-chan burst into laughter with his hands on his hips after the energy ball dissipated, Mu Yun was speechless.

Has this child been spending too much time with Dandan (a nickname for a child), causing him to lose his sharp mind?

No, Shin-chan isn't very bright to begin with, so you can't blame him for being bold.

Furthermore, although being bold is reckless, one still possesses intelligence.

It's like a table of eighteen elemental counters; I memorized it in three days.

"Alright, Shin-chan, get ready for the next round."

After Wang Fugui left, Mu Yun spoke as the second person took the stage.

"Meow!"

(Leave it to me!)

Shin-chan, brimming with confidence, patted his chest and shouted in a powerful voice.

"Keep going, keep going."
