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

"Neck, can you see how Xin Xin lost?"

Off the field, He Lun tilted his head and looked at Yu Bo.

Yu Bo shook his head.

As a member of a family of water-type spirits, he has seen at least 90% of all water-type spirits in the world, if not all of them.

Even so, he still couldn't figure out what kind of fighting style the gem starfish was using.

No, let's not talk about tactics.

He didn't even realize when the starfish on the other side made its move.

If it weren't for the fact that Starmie's opponent was his own younger sister, he would have thought that this Milotic was a complete waste who couldn't even use its moves properly.

A moment later, Yu Xin, looking dejected, walked over to Yu Bo, plopped back down in her chair, and stared into thought.

Seeing this, Yu Bo and He Lun remained silent until two more rounds of the match had passed before Yu Xin's expression returned to normal.

"Xin Xin, did you notice anything?"

Yu Bo leaned closer and asked.

"without."

Yu Xin shook her head: "But I'm sure this must be a special application of some kind of Psychic-type move, because I saw the gem on Milotic's chest flashing before the move failed."

"Why don't we ask our great-grandmother?"

Although their most famous Pokémon is Gyarados, it doesn't mean that the whole family only has Gyarados.

Their great-grandmother's trump card was an extremely powerful gem starfish.

In his youth, he even held a place among the four kings of the region.

He is currently the strongest trainer in their family.

"That's right. You and He Lun have your match first, and I'll find a quiet place to call my great-grandmother."

Having made up her mind, Yu Xin hurriedly grabbed her phone and ran outside.

Seeing this, Yu Bo and He Lun exchanged a smile.

She was, after all, a seventeen-year-old girl; her melancholy came and went quickly, and she was full of youthful energy.

When Yu Xin called her great-grandmother, the Yinzhou Cup competition was still ongoing.

Soon, the first group's competition was coming to an end.

During the event, Yu Bo's red Gyarados completely stunned everyone present.

Its level of 41 is unparalleled and unmatched.

"It's a pity I can't get on Xiao Jin's screen, otherwise I really want to see Yu Bo's expression."

Mu Yun thought to himself with a rather wicked sense of humor.

Yu Bo's red Gyarados is about thirteen meters long, which is very close to the limit of fifteen meters.

However, the little gold, which is also of a different color, is 32 meters long, more than twice the length of him.

If they stood together, they would look like a robust adult male and an ordinary toddler.

There is absolutely no comparison.

"Well then, let's congratulate these thirty-two contestants who have advanced. The next round of the competition will continue after a half-hour break. During that time, everyone can try some of the unique snacks of Yinzhou City..."

During the break, the host typed "GG".

However, this is normal. Yinzhou Cup has some reputation, so it's reasonable for local businesses to lose.

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

During the break, Yu Bo looked at Yu Xin, who was walking back with her phone in her hand.

"Xin Xin, what did Great-Grandma say?"

Yu Xin shook her head: "Grandma has never heard of such a situation before. She told us to record a video first and then take a closer look when we get back."

"Even your great-grandmother didn't know?"

Yu Bo was shocked.

In terms of strength, my great-grandmother may not be as good as the current champion of the Eastern region's water system, but in terms of knowledge, what doesn't my great-grandmother who is nearly a hundred years old know?

Even she didn't know...

hiss~~

How exactly did Mu Yun raise this elf?

First there was the giant bee, then the gem starfish—they're all so outrageous.

Beedrill is alright; no matter how strong it is, it's still visible to the naked eye. As long as you work hard, you'll catch up one day.

But this gem starfish is quite strange.

From beginning to end, the only thing that could be perceived was his powerful mental focus.

Aside from those who experienced it firsthand, outsiders would only assume the opponent was weak, or even suspect match-fixing...

It's hard to hold back.

As Yu Bo sighed, the half-hour break quickly passed.

A short while later, the host came back on stage and casually pulled out two opaque balls from a small transparent box.

"Now, please welcome..."

The round of 16 has begun again.

Mu Yun made his appearance again in the sixth match.

Seeing him stand up, Yu Bo and He Lun immediately perked up and looked at him intently.

Yu Xin even turned on her phone to record early on, starting from when Mu Yun got up, afraid of missing any clues that might be overlooked.

With his keen senses, Mu Yun immediately noticed the strangeness of the three, but he didn't pay it any mind. He just gave them a strange look and then slowly walked to the battlefield.

This time, his opponent was a little girl.

He was short and thin, only about 1.5 meters tall, and looked like a primary school student if you didn't know his age.

Her figure is the same as Sun Xin's; it's impossible to tell her front from her back.

"Please release your spirits!"

Awesome!

A tall, muscular figure with red bony plates on its head and back appeared in front of the little girl.

That was a Water-type starter Pokémon that was a full two and a half meters tall—Raptor!

When Mu Yun noticed this seemingly delicate but actually incredibly fierce little girl, he couldn't help but marvel.

In comparison, Patrick Star, who is only 1.3 meters tall, looks pitiful and weak.

Many audience members even felt that the starfish and the crocodile should be switched, as it would look more reasonable that way.

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

"Oh, it's Meng Jiaojiao. She's so unlucky to be matched with Mu Yun."

Offstage, Yu Xin, holding her phone, muttered a complaint under her breath.

The Meng family is quite well-known in Liaoning Province. Although they are not as famous as the Yu family, they have at least produced a Champion-level trainer. Even though the current head of the family is only a near-Champion-level trainer, they are still quite powerful in Yinzhou City.

Meng Jiaojiao is the same age as her and is also a senior in high school this year. The fact that she can send out a powerful crocodile means that, like her, she is using a "non-starter Pokémon" that has been bred in advance.

"Jiaojiao, I remember her Mighty Crocodile is quite strong, it should be at the mid-stage of professional level," He Lun added.

"Giant Crocodile excels in physical attacks. Even if it can't use any moves, its strength is still considerable. We might be able to glean some insights from that," Yu Bo analyzed.

Unlike Milotic, which relies too much on moves in battle, Feraligatr, also a pure Water-type Pokémon, is known for its immense strength.

Even without any special moves, its arms and incredibly powerful jaws are something that most Pokémon can't withstand.

At the very least, starfish, which is not good at close combat, will most likely be unable to withstand the attack once it gets close.

Just as the three were discussing, the referee in the arena continued to speak:

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

"Mighty Crocodile, charge! Bite!"

Meng Jiaojiao is not very tall, but her voice is quite loud, and a powerful voice bursts out from her small body.

Bite, a Dark-type physical attack move, has a chance to inflict a flinch on the opponent upon hit.

Dark-type moves are twice as effective against Starmie, and given Feraligatr's incredible bite force, if that bite lands, the balance of the battle will likely tip significantly in their favor.

At least, that's what Meng Jiaojiao thinks.
