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

Savage bass breeding area.

"roar!!!"

Niko, at the peak of the Dojo level, let out a long roar.

The next moment, to Gao Shi's astonishment, the massive body, over twenty meters long, began to twist in the air.

Dragon Dance!

"Damn it, stinging jellyfish! Use the mud wave to dry it out!"

Seeing that the other party was unlikely to resolve the matter peacefully, Kao Shi gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

As a genuine, long-established Gym Leader Pokémon, Tentacruel may not be a high-level Pokémon, but its move proficiency is very high.

In particular, he can use several poison-type moves of his own type with ease.

Almost the instant the stinging jellyfish's tentacles swung, a mass of deep purple liquid gradually formed in front of it.

"Hiccup!!"

He exerted his strength and blasted the sludge wave he had been preparing into the air, towards the Gyarados whose head alone was bigger than his body.

What puzzled Takashi was that, when faced with the Sludge Wave attack, the opponent's Gyarados continued to stack Dragon Dance on its own, without any intention of dodging.

He didn't understand, but he was secretly pleased.

His Tentacruel is no ordinary Pokémon; in his deal with Kozo Prism, there were plenty of resources that could increase a Pokémon's toxicity.

Even if this Gyarados is enormous, he's confident he can take it down once it's poisoned...

"What?!"

Just as Kao was overjoyed, the scene before him shocked him.

The mud wave that shot forward seemed to hit an invisible barrier just before it was about to strike Gyarados, disappearing without a trace without even touching its opponent.

"roar!!"

The next moment, the two carp, having stacked three layers of Dragon Dance, flew down fiercely.

The powerful flow of water converges at its tail.

Water flow tail!

If the water jet generated by a normal Gyarados using Aqua Tail is only the thickness of a water gun, then the twenty-meter-long Niko has an even more exaggerated thickness when using Aqua Tail, even more so than a water cannon.

The water, as thick as a water vat, entwined the two carp's massive tails, whistling like thunder.

Even if the surface of a pool is separated by a distance, bursts of water will splash up.

Not to mention the stinging jellyfish that Erli had targeted.

"Hiccup!!"

The stinging jellyfish was terrified and tried to unleash its water cannons to defend itself.

Unfortunately, Erli, empowered by the three layers of Dragon Dance, was extremely fast. Before he could make a move, the huge dragon tail, carried by the roaring water, had already slammed into him.

boom!

As the water jets crashed down, a huge crater instantly appeared beneath the Tentacruel's feet.

The ruby ​​on the head of the stinging jellyfish shattered with a crack, and its azure body was crushed into a flat, pancake-like shape.

Life was about to be extinguished.

As for Kao Shi, who was unable to dodge in time, he was like a fragile clay sculpture, instantly turning into a puddle of flesh under the immense force.

"Indeed, absolute size brings absolute power."

Looking at the dead stinging jellyfish, Mu Yun sighed inwardly.

Although Erika has the power of Aura and its level surpasses Tentacruel, as Pokémon of the same level, the difference in their combat strength is actually not that great.

Even with its high Attack stat of 275 and various special bonuses, a normal-sized Gyarados would only be able to easily defeat Tentacruel.

It's absolutely impossible to kill someone with a single blow like Erli.

Moreover, it directly shatters the protection mechanism, a true one-hit kill!

It can only be said that even at the same level, larger Pokémon have a significant advantage in both strength and stamina.

Of course, there are also disadvantages, such as a larger area of ​​attack and difficulty in dodging attacks.

Of course, given Erli's situation, there's no need for him to hide.

Even without his Aura Protection, one or two attacks from ordinary Pokémon would be basically useless.

Especially special attack moves.

A base Special Defense stat of 250 is no joke.

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

[Ding! Gyarados (Erli) (29) defeated Tentacruel (62). Permanent Quest 1: Battle Completed. The opponent's level is equal to yours. Congratulations, host! You have gained 62 points. Gyarados (Erli)'s growth level has been greatly increased!]

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

[Ding! Gyarados (Erli) has increased its growth level through continuous efforts. Current level: 31!]

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

"The system actually determined Erli's original level. That's interesting."

Hearing the system notification, Mu Yun felt a slight sense of surprise.

Doesn't this mean he can make those Pokémon that can carry his Aura level up quickly through battles?

Even if other Pokémon can't withstand a large amount of Aura power like Little Gold and Erika and leap to the Gym level, advancing one or two major levels shouldn't be a problem.

"It's a pleasant surprise."

Mu Yun sighed inwardly.

The next second, another system notification sounded.

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

[Ding! Detected that the host has eliminated the main personnel in charge of the Savage Bass Breeding Base (Qinghe Aquaculture Base): Gao Shi and Gao Zao, and released all Savage Bass from the base. Short-term mission 14: The Fury of the Savage Bass has been completed!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received the blessings of all the savage bass spirits whose souls are still alive in the mortal realm!]

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

As the system notification sound faded, faint white specks of light, invisible to the naked eye, slowly flew out from various parts of the base.

Furthermore, as time went on, more and more pale white specks of light, appearing from nowhere, joined in.

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

[Ding! The blessing of the savage bass spirit has been loaded. Congratulations, host, you have gained a special ability—the Fortune of Merit!]

【The Fortune of Merit: When you punish evil and promote good, you will receive the blessing of merit and increase your fortune. When you do evil, you will be forgotten by karma and will not be tainted by bad luck. When your fortune is extremely good, even the gods cannot observe it.

Current fortune bonus: 1.

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

[Luck: 2 (+2) [The average person's fortune is like a calm lake, but your fortune is like a lake that ripples from time to time, and perhaps good things will happen occasionally]]

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

"It's actually a special ability related to cause and effect."

Seeing the effects of the merit-based fortune, a hint of joy flashed in Mu Yun's eyes.

As the saying goes, time is supreme, space is king, destiny is unpredictable, and cause and effect reign supreme.

Although it was a joke made up by netizens in a previous life, it is undeniable that in any worldview with supernatural powers, fate and cause and effect are extremely difficult to estimate.

The powerful can manipulate the threads of fate, alter cause and effect, and kill without leaving a trace, even across billions of miles of space and time.

Even the weak can turn misfortune into good fortune and ensure their own safety.

Although his merit power isn't extremely strong, it's still a pretty good passive ability.

After all, avoiding bad luck is always a great blessing.

Moreover, according to the description of the merit-based fortune, as long as he does good deeds and punishes evil, his luck will continue to increase.

When his luck is high enough, he might just get what he wants.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Mu Yun withdrew his thoughts. He glanced at the square-faced man who was secretly observing him from the shadows. Instead of ordering Erli to continue attacking, he used a Poké Ball to recall Erli, then vanished from the spot with a single step.

Since it's a fake identity used to attract attention, he naturally needs someone to spread it.

"Gone...disappeared?"

Seeing the masked man disappear like a ghost in the blink of an eye, the square-faced man couldn't help but rub his eyes.

"A gifted individual? A double-cross?"

The square-faced man looked at the gruesome death of Kao Shi and couldn't help but swallow hard.

Fortunately, he was quite good at hiding; otherwise, if he had been discovered, his fate would probably have been no better than Kaohsiung's.

Grind it into minced meat!

What a ruthless monster!

"Forget it, let's report it. I can't investigate this anymore!"
