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

Zhejiang Province, the Zhuge family.

"What if there is no self?"

A middle-aged man with an equally handsome face and a mustache looked at Zhuge Wuwo as he returned.

"Brother, this is a bit tricky."

Zhuge Wuwo frowned slightly and said, "I had the Natural Bird investigate the aura on the island. It's an unknown water-type divine beast, and its aura is somewhat similar to the one worshipped by the Secret Sea Sect."

"The Secret Sea Cult? That old bastard Fajar?"

Zhuge Wujian stroked his mustache and pondered for a moment, "Ever since the Mihaiya Grand Alliance was reorganized, that old guy has been roaming all over South Asia. He's a real rotten apple!"

"After all, he was once the Archbishop, wielding the Champion-level Wailord and able to teleport freely between seas. Even if the Hidden Champion were to make a move, it would be difficult to stop him," Zhuge Wuwo sighed.

If they weren't so difficult to catch, they wouldn't have been able to repeatedly violate our maritime territory.

"In short, I have already reported this matter to Zang Guanjun. Afterwards, the Imperial Capital Patrol Department and our Shanghai Trainers Association will jointly set up an investigation team, which will probably be led by Zang Guanjun this time," Zhuge Wuwo said.

"Well, since it involves divine beasts, let's try to get as little involved as possible and leave it to those people in the capital."

Meanwhile, on Mu Yun's side...

After leaving the deserted island where the East China Sea Secret Realm was located, he rested for another day in Shanghai, then took a plane to Heijiang City, and rode the Bofeng back to Heihe City that night.

"Brother Yun!!"

That evening, inside the villa.

Seeing Mu Yun suddenly return home, Chi Duoduo was as happy as a little rabbit and jumped into Mu Yun's arms.

What happened next, those who know, know.

She was already no match for Mu Yun, and after Mu Yun's physical strength increased again, she became even more unable to resist.

After only a few rounds of fighting, he was defeated.

This made Chi Duoduo start to question her existence.

Mingming said that Sister Dalai Kong had made progress recently, so why did her battle time with Brother Yun decrease?

She didn't understand and quickly fell into a deep sleep, exhausted.

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

The next day.

Because the Silver Tournament was about to begin, Mu Yun didn't go out anymore. Instead, he trained his Pokémon like an ordinary freshman, accompanied Chi Duoduo to class, and occasionally went to the Black Snake Gang to gain some experience.

Occasionally, when the mood strikes, I'll take my second and third teams of Pokémon to the Battle Gym.

"Holy crap, isn't this Mu Yun, the two-time Black Dragon Cup champion? I actually got to see him in person!!"

"Hey, hey, hey, what senior? He's only a freshman, he's your junior!"

"The successful come first, don't you understand?"

"...hesitatingly speaking..."

"Hey, look! Senior Mu Yun looks like he's about to start a fight!"

"Really? Who could beat him?"

"They're not using the six Pokémon from the Black Dragon Cup; they're probably using new Pokémon!"

"........."

At the same time, inside the battlefield.

"Beep beep--! Electronic referee number 1111 is at your service!"

On one side of the battlefield, a round, ball-like robot flew out from a charging station.

Mu Yun, dressed in black casual clothes, stood on one side of the field, opposite a somewhat shy-looking boy.

"Beep--! Detecting the identities of both parties. The red team is Mu Yun, a first-year student majoring in Battle Trainer; the blue team is Fang Mian, a second-year student majoring in Trainer. Please select the battle mode!"

In the past few days, Mu Yun has occasionally come to the battle arena to command the new Pokémon in battle, and Fang Mian is the first opponent he encountered today.

"Three against three".

Mu Yun said.

This was something the two had agreed upon before going on stage.

After all, it's for training Pokémon, so we can't just fight one battle and leave.

"Beep beep--! The battle mode has been confirmed as three-on-three. Each side can use three Pokémon. Each side has one opportunity to recall a Pokémon during the battle..."

"Beep beep--! Please release your Pokémon!"

As soon as the electromagnetic referee's voice faded, the two men moved simultaneously.

"Awesome!" *2

Before Fang Mian was a spherical creature with U-shaped magnets on either side of its head and an iron sheen all over its body—Magnemite!

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

As for Mu Yun's side, there was a little guy with dark eyes and light blue skin—Dali.

That is, the Mudskipper.

Dali was the name given to him by Mu Yun. Because of his special characteristics and bonuses, he had exceptionally great power when he used his moves, hence the name Dali.

"It's Mudkip! Lucky me, the advantage is on my side!!"

A hint of joy flashed in Fang Mian's eyes as he looked at the elf in front of Mu Yun.

As a student at Heijiang University, he naturally knew the name Mu Yun.

Just because he can't beat the main force doesn't mean he can't beat the newly bred Pokémon.

After all, this Magnemite was a Gym Leader-level offspring that he had obtained by spending all his credits, plus a little generous financial support from his family.

Not only does it possess the sturdy and durable characteristics of being able to withstand blows, but it also has a mid-level electric-type Pokémon treasure that it inherited from its grandfather.

He had the perfect combination of timing and location when battling a Water-type Mudkip!

The thought of defeating Mu Yun's Pokémon, becoming a well-known figure at school, and being adored by countless female students made him smile.

"Beep beep--! Both Pokémon are in position, the match begins!"

Ignoring Fang Mian's rich inner monologue, the electronic referee immediately announced in a emotionless electronic voice after detecting that both sides' Pokémon were in position.

"Magneto, trap him with your electric net!"

Fang Mian immediately shouted.

Even though he felt confident of victory, he didn't attack rashly because his opponent was a renowned genius trainer. Instead, he had Magnemite use a move with a limiting effect.

Mudkip is a Pokémon with strong physical attack but relatively slow speed. As long as you restrict its movement, victory is within your grasp!

Just as he was thinking this, Mu Yun's voice also reached the arena.

"Dali, water gun!"

water gun?

Fang Mian was taken aback.

Mudkip is a Water-type Pokémon, so it's normal for it to use a water gun.

But, bro, my Magnemite is an Electric/Steel dual-type Pokémon!

Although I am not resistant to water, my electric net move is twice as effective against water-type energy!

Isn't that incredibly disrespectful of people?

Fang Mian was speechless.

Not only Fang Mian, but even the students watching the battle around him looked doubtful.

If it weren't for Mu Yun shouting, they would have thought this was some academically challenged student who couldn't even memorize the Pokémon type matchup chart.
