"Under normal circumstances, it should have skills like water gun, tapping, rainmaking, sleeping, sleep talking, yawning, protection, white mist, black mist, mud spray, mud bomb, turbid flow, earthquake, and gigantic impact, right?" Lu Ming said directly after thinking for a moment.

"So, compared to your sister's Lucario, who's stronger?" Amelia suddenly approached Lu Ming and asked expectantly.

“Um…it depends on which aspect. If we're talking about attack power and speed, Lucario is much stronger than Woolworth and Quagsire…” Seeing that Amelia was about to cry, Lu Ming, who was speaking truthfully, quickly added, “But Woolworth and Quagsire excel at attrition and control; attack power and speed aren't important. Many of their moves are very useful. For example, Mud Bomb can make the opponent invisible, Mud Jet can reduce the opponent's speed, Sleep can heal all its injuries, and Sleep Talk allows it to continue fighting while asleep. Moreover, Earthquake, a powerful and wide-range move, is also terrifying!”

After hearing what Lu Ming said next, Amelia stopped crying and instead laughed, saying, "So Wobo's evolved form is called Swamp King! The Swamp King! Hehe! That sounds more imposing than my sister Lucario!"

"Your personality changed after you took off that mask? You really startled me just now!" Seeing that Amelia wasn't crying, Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

“When wearing a mask, you have to be professional, so you can’t relax and be yourself,” Amelia answered Lu Ming’s question with a sweet smile.

"Um, what is evolution? Why did Amelia say that Upo evolves into Swamp King?" At this moment, Saldallo, who did not know what evolution was, suddenly interrupted and asked the group.

"Evolution is a special case where some peculiar magical beasts transform into another kind of magical beast. Just like my Firestorm Beast and Lu Ming's Tyrant Flower!" Artus answered Saldalo's question while searching for other magical beasts in the woods.

"So, Oddish suddenly became Gloom, and then transformed from Gloom into Vileplume because of evolution?"

"That's about right."

Upon learning the truth, Saldallo nearly burst into tears. He grabbed Lu Ming and asked pitifully, "Who's stronger, the Swamp King or the Queen of the Rising Sun?"

"Squash King is a Water/Ground type, while Vileplume is a Grass/Poison type. They're incomparable. I can only say that Swamp King can't beat Vileplume, but it can easily crush our Earl Lecord's Typhlosion."

"Uh... what does this have to do with me?! Why are you torturing my Tyrannosaurus?!" Artus roared from not far away.

"Just like magic, are there elemental weaknesses and strengths?" Saldallo ignored Atus's roar and asked to himself.

"Yes. Grass type beats Water type, Water type beats Fire type, and Fire type beats Grass type."

"Is the triangle a form of restraint?"

At this moment, Upo, nestled in Amelia's arms, woke up. Seemingly knowing that Amelia had won him over, it affectionately nuzzled her hand, making Amelia smile happily.

Upon seeing this, Saldar and Artus immediately went crazy, grabbing Lu Ming and running into the depths of the forest, seemingly ashamed and angry that they had missed out on a Pokémon like Wobo, and determined to find another similar Pokémon.

Helpless, Amelia had no choice but to give chase. Although Saldallo and Artus were no match for her and Lu Ming's speed.

-----------------------------------

After walking through the forest for several hours, Lu Ming and his companions found nothing except some demonic rabbits and the earth-digging boars that had been corrupted by the Dark Abyss.

Because they were hungry, the four of them had to make a fire to roast meat and eat a little something.

Hours of fruitless searching left Saldalo and Artus utterly exhausted. They sat by the campfire, leaning against a large tree, their eyes closed in weariness, looking as if they might die at any moment.

Lu Ming and Amelia, who had no intention of going on a picnic, were roasting the magic rabbit meat, while even Ubo was looking at the fragrant roasted meat with anticipation.

During the hunt, Lu Ming and Amelia had figured out all of Wobbuffet's moves. Besides the moves Lu Ming mentioned, Amelia's Wobbuffet also knew Poison Bomb, Ice Beam, and Surf. It was even capable of fighting Grass-type Pokémon!

“Upo evolves very quickly. If I’m not mistaken, your Upo will likely evolve before the tiebreaker of the Monster Assistance Battle Tournament. At that time, Upo will become very powerful!” Lu Ming said to Amelia, who was stroking the sticky, slippery Upo, while flipping the grilled meat.

"Oh, I see. Then I'll participate in this competition too!"

"why?"

"Because my sister participated in this competition, I definitely have to participate too! And I must get better results than her!"

Glancing at Amelia, who was full of fighting spirit, Lu Ming felt for some reason that Kanina and Amelia were somewhat like each other's mothers, rather than his own.

Kanina is somewhat like Miral, prone to laziness and cunning, rarely putting in the effort. If she hadn't grown up with Sham, it's uncertain whether she would have been as timid as Miral. Amelia, on the other hand, is like Yusahar, highly competitive, striving for perfection in almost everything, and extremely persistent in her work.

"Do you and Kanina have a bad relationship?" After thinking for a moment, Lu Ming asked Amelia. Amelia often mentioned Kanina, and there was always a hint of jealousy and resentment in her tone.

“Yes! Our relationship is extremely bad!” Amelia nodded. “Because she’s the older sister, she got everything you left behind. I have nothing but this pendant. Lucario, the mansion in Hylas village, and a whole bunch of other assets…”

“…” After listening to Amelia’s words, Lu Ming paused for a moment, then said, “You’re moving in with me!”

"What?" Amelia was taken aback.

“I’m letting you move in with me! Whether you’re from the Abyss or from Londoor, you’re still my daughter and should live with me!” Lu Ming said very solemnly.

"Aren't you afraid I'm lying to you?" Amelia asked, shocked.

"You and Kanina both look a bit like me, so you can't possibly be someone else's child. So I'm not worried. Besides, you have wolf blood in your body, and that can't be changed!"

As the proportion of wolf blood increased, Lu Ming could clearly feel a portion of the wolf blood inherited from him within Kanina's body. He could also sense this bloodline connection in Amelia, only it had become weaker because Amelia had fallen into the abyss.

"I understand, Dad. I'll move in. But please don't blame me if I have a fight with Sister Kanina!"

"Heh! You!" Lu Ming smiled helplessly, then handed the baked magic rabbit to Amelia.

After receiving the roasted rabbit, Amelia and Upo, amidst the envious gazes of Saldalo and Artus, began to eat first.

Lu Ming's cooking skills weren't great, but compared to the food made by those wandering spirits in Londor who had no sense of taste, Amelia ate it with relish. This made Lu Ming feel a little sorry for the child.

But just as Lu Ming continued roasting the other rabbits, two black leopards emerged from the bushes. Immediately, Saldallo and Artus were terrified and hid behind Lu Ming and the mysteriously powerful Amelia.

"What are you hiding for? The magical beasts you wanted have come out, go and catch them yourselves!" Lu Ming said, somewhat annoyed, as he casually tossed a piece of roasted magical rabbit meat to the two black panthers.

"Catch it my ass! That's a fourth-tier Shadow Panther, the two of us can't beat it!"

"Fourth tier?" Hearing what the two unreliable guys said, Lu Ming glanced at the two black panthers, then walked over and, under the shocked gazes of Saldallo and Artus, reached out and touched the two black panthers.

"Who are you two trying to fool! This is clearly a third-tier leopard cub, but you insist it's fourth-tier!"

"Hey!!" Saldallo and Artus were startled when they heard Lu Ming say that. They hurriedly ran over and carefully examined the two black panthers.

It was eventually discovered that these two black panthers were not fourth-tier Shadow Panthers at all, but rather two mutated forest panthers!

"Alright! I give up." Saldallo and Artus were impressed by Lu Ming's ability and courage in touching the leopards with his bare hands and being able to tell that these two leopards were not Shadow Leopards at all!

But Lu Ming said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. Anyway, if there's any danger, I can pick up my daughter and run in an instant, leaving you two here as bait..."

"I'll fight you to the death!!" Before Lu Ming could finish speaking, Saldallo and Artus pounced on him, but they missed.

Lu Ming dodged their attacks with a high-speed movement, returned to the campfire, resumed grilling meat, and watched the two unreliable guys catch the two leopards themselves.

"Dad, how did you know those two black panthers were leopards and not cheetahs?" Amelia asked Lu Ming with a curious look as Saldallo and Artus were being chased by the leopards.

“Normally, cheetahs have tear stains on their faces, while leopards don’t. So when I saw that these two leopards didn’t have tear stains on their faces, I knew that those two guys didn’t really recognize what these two leopards were!” Lu Ming chuckled as he explained to Amelia.

At this moment, Saldallo and Artus were about to be caught up by the black panther and bitten to death!

"Hey! You four, come here! Dinner's ready!" Lu Ming called out to Saldallo, Artus, and the two black panthers. Immediately, the two panthers abandoned Saldallo and Artus, who might get diarrhea if they ate them, and obediently ran to Lu Ming's side and lay down, waiting for the roasted meat.

Seeing this, Saldallo and Artus could only approach with long faces. (To be continued.)

Chapter 45 - Amelia vs. Kanina

With Lu Ming's help, Saldalo and Artus successfully tamed the two black panthers.

Having captured the monster, the group naturally returned to Paris City after enjoying some roasted meat.

But just as they left the Helen Forest, the four of them encountered Kanina and Ella, who were cultivating outside the city.

At that moment, Amelia was holding Lu Ming's arm, appearing very intimate with him. Kanina, who was preparing Princess Ella and her Snorlax for the upcoming Round of 16, saw this and immediately angrily shouted, "Daddy, who is she?! Why are you holding hands with her?!"

Before Lu Ming could explain, Amelia retorted, "And who are you?! What right do you have to interfere in my and my father's affairs?!"

Upon hearing this, both Kanina and Ella, who was standing next to her, were taken aback.

I don't understand where Lu Ming got this daughter from. Besides, Amelia looks at least twenty years old. She couldn't possibly have been born when he was five, could she?

“Amelia is a year younger than you, she’s your sister.” Seeing that Kanina and Amelia were about to start arguing again, Lu Ming had no choice but to explain about Amelia.

"Like you, Amelia has never been here before. She's just a little later than you."

"I don't acknowledge this!!" Kanina suddenly shouted, her aura suddenly becoming the same as when Lu Ming was fighting, like a ferocious wolf with a sharp sword, making people's hearts tremble.

But Amelia was not afraid of Kanina's intimidation at all. She even glared at Kanina in return, her aura becoming sharp and fierce.

"A duel between sword-biting wolves? Interesting!" Saldallo, who was more familiar with Kanina, couldn't help but laugh as he watched Kanina and Amelia glaring at each other. He wore an expression that suggested he was ready to watch the show.

Seeing this, Lu Ming frowned slightly and said angrily, "What kind of behavior do you two have now?"

Lu Ming's angry shout startled Kanina and Amelia. Seeing that their father, Lu Ming, was already somewhat angry, the two immediately stopped their argument and suddenly became obedient daughters.

Looking at his two daughters, who both had expressions that said, "I'm so well-behaved, even better than her," Lu Ming said, both amused and annoyed, "You two silly girls, come home with me!"

But then Artus suddenly stopped him and advised, "If you force these two children to fight, it will only make them hate each other more. Why not let them fight it out and decide who wins? Wouldn't that make them easier to manage later?"

Lu Ming glanced at Artus indifferently and asked with displeasure, "Are you just here to watch the show?"

Artus smiled and pointed at Amelia and Kanina, saying, "The two of them also want to have a match and test their abilities!"

Lu Ming glanced at his two daughters, whose faces were full of anticipation, and saw that they really seemed eager for a fight. He could only sigh helplessly, nod slightly, and agree with Artus's idea.

Kanina and Amelia immediately picked up their training wooden swords and magic wands and stood ready. Lucario and Woolworth also stood beside their respective masters, prepared to join the battle.

"Remember, you can only touch it briefly. Otherwise, I'll get angry!" Lu Ming said unhappily, looking at his two eager daughters.

"Okay, Dad!" "Don't bother me, Dad!"

Amelia and Kanina replied at the same time, and then the two rushed towards each other.

The wooden swords clashed fiercely, producing muffled thuds that made Lu Ming frown slightly. He wondered what was wrong with these two silly girls? Why did they act as if they wanted to kill each other the moment they met?

"Their swordsmanship doesn't seem to be your kind, which is almost like random slashing!" Saldallo raised an eyebrow at Lu Ming and smiled as he watched Kanina and Amelia fight.

"Would you like to try my chaotic swordsmanship?" Lu Ming chuckled upon hearing this, then coldly glanced at Saldallo.

Upon hearing this, Saldallo was immediately startled and hurriedly said, "Forget it! I can't beat you!"

"Heh!" Lu Ming chuckled softly and then fell silent, focusing intently on the battle between Kanina and Amelia.

To be honest, their swordsmanship was not Lu Ming's half-baked swordsmanship, but rather derived from the exquisite swordsmanship of Sham and Lily.

Sham is a swordsman, so his swordsmanship is naturally exceptional. Lily's swordsmanship is inherited from her father, who has since become a wandering spirit. Lu Ming was originally the father-in-law of the Sachi family's swordsmanship instructor, so his swordsmanship is naturally superb!

If it were just a swordsmanship contest, and the weapons were the same, Lu Ming would be no match for Sham and Lily. But if they could use magic and skills, Sham and Lily wouldn't be able to defeat Lu Ming in his current form, not even with their bare hands.

Having failed to gain the upper hand in their sword duel, Kanina and Amelia instantly distanced themselves from each other after their final clash of wooden swords, while simultaneously taking command of Lucario and Woolpo.

"Luca, Bo!" "Upo, Poison Sludge Bomb!"

The next moment, Lucario and Wobo unleashed a blue wave and a purple sludge bomb.

Two energy projectiles of different attributes shot toward their respective owners at an imperceptible speed. Just as Lu Ming was about to make his move, Kanina and Amelia suddenly unleashed two skills he had never seen before.

"Iron Wall!" "Ghost Raid!"

"Did they use the Steel-type's immunity to Poison-type and the Ghost-type's immunity to Fighting-type moves to ignore the opponent's Pokémon's moves? But isn't Ghost Lurk a bit too powerful? Amelia... Kanina..." Watching Amelia disappear into the shadows and rush towards Kanina, and Kanina turn into a metal figure and ignore the attack of Sludge Bomb, Lu Ming muttered to himself in thought.

At that moment, Amelia, who had slipped into the shadows, rushed towards Kanina and burst forth, wielding her magic staff and unleashing the Farron Rapier at her. Kanina, not to be outdone, swung her magic staff and shattered Amelia's Farron Rapier with her own!

"Luca, Dragon Pulse!" "Upo, Muddy Current!"

At a command, Lucario and Wobo unleashed even more powerful moves that the opponent could not ignore!
