Just as Quagsire slammed its tail into the ground, Lucario suddenly jumped up, dodging the Ground-type move Earthquake.
"Lucia, Power Up Punch!" "Swamp King, Protect and Block!"
Quagsire forcefully erected a green shield, blocking Lucario's Power Punch attack. However, Lucario's attack power did indeed increase.
Seeing that the battle between Kanina and Amelia was escalating, Lu Ming had no choice but to take out a Poké Ball from his pocket and throw it.
"Overlord Flower, Mabi Pink Plus Sword Dance!"
As soon as it emerged from the Poké Ball, Vileplume began spinning rapidly, scattering yellow pollen all around and turning the entire area yellow!
"Cough cough! Cough cough!"
In an instant, everyone except Lu Ming, who had covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief beforehand, and the Pokémon were all paralyzed by the Mabi powder from the Vileplume and began to cough violently.
"Stop using Mabi powder, just use Sword Dance!" Seeing that Kanina and Amelia had stopped fighting because of Mabi and coughing, Lu Ming instructed the Queen of the Flower to use the gust of wind generated by her high-speed spinning Sword Dance to disperse the Mabi powder.
"Doo~!" After the paralyzing powder dissipated, Vileplume stopped its Swords Dance. At this point, its attack power was far beyond what Lucario and Quagsire could match, so even if Lucario and Quagsire still wanted to fight, they would have to consider whether they could defeat Vileplume after its two Swords Dance buffs.
Throwing Saldallo, who was trapped in the mabi effect, to the ground, Lu Ming revealed a terrifying smile. He walked step by step towards Kanina and Amelia, laughing, "I told you two to stop here? Why didn't you listen?"
"Uh..." Seeing Lu Ming getting closer, Kanina and Amelia suddenly hugged each other, who were also unable to move easily, hoping that Lu Ming would see this and let them go. Unfortunately...
"Vileplume, use Aromatherapy to remove the status ailments from Lucas and Quagsire, and Snorlax. The other three of you, drag your trainers and come home with me!" After glancing at his two daughters, who were huddled together and looking at him pitifully, Lu Ming had Vileplume remove the status ailments from all the Pokémon present and had them drag Garina, Amelia, and Princess Ella back to town with him.
As for Saldallo and Artus, they were simply dragged back the same way they came.
-----------------------------------
Back home, Lu Ming told Sham and the others about Amelia.
Miral fainted immediately after learning that Amelia was her daughter.
Having just made love with Lu Ming for the first time yesterday, she simply cannot accept the fact that a twenty-year-old daughter has suddenly appeared.
But with Sham and Lily's help and persuasion, Miral finally accepted the fact and agreed to take care of Amelia.
Seeing that Amelia and Kanina's bottoms were sore from being dragged back by Swamp King and they couldn't sit up at all, Sham and Lily carried them back to the room where they would be sleeping together for the next few days to apply medicine to prevent any scars from being left on their bottoms.
As for Princess Ella, who was directly brought back by Snorlax, she just needs to be treated with the aromatherapy of Vileplume.
"I mean, you're too ruthless! Saldallo and Artus's butts are practically ruined!" Nero, who had come to Lu Ming's house to ask about the extra match, was unfortunately dragged along with Jack by Saldallo and Artus to apply medicine to their butts in the study. But after seeing the pitiful state of their bottoms, Nero and Jack couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.
"If you two want to try, just say so. I'll get Bajerton to give you a hand!" Lu Ming, who was sitting on the sofa in the study and learning about the new rules for the tiebreakers and the round of 16 that Nero had brought over, looked up and sneered.
"Great! You two should agree!" Baggetton laughed upon hearing this.
"No thanks! I still want my butt!" Jack and Nero refused Baggetton's offer in unison. Then they went to wash their hands.
Seeing that Jack and Nero rejected his offer, Baggetton went out sullenly to find a cute girl and seek true love. Meanwhile, Lu Ming started reviewing the new schedule and rules again.
"What are the new rules?" Since the medicine had been applied, his buttocks didn't hurt as much. Lying on the study floor, Artus couldn't help but ask as he watched Lu Ming reading through the pages.
"You're the organizer, how could you not know?" Lu Ming looked at Artus with some curiosity and asked, puzzled.
Artus sighed helplessly and said, "Right now I'm just a supporting organizer. The main organizer has already been taken over by the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and our Grand Duke."
"We express our condolences. You will live forever in our hearts!" Lu Ming and Saldallo exchanged a glance, and then said very solemnly.
"Hey! I'm not dead!!" Artus shouted instantly, grabbing Wangna's leg as she brought him the snacks.
After joking around for a while, Lu Ming spoke very formally to Saldallo and Artus: "The rules haven't changed much; they're basically the same as before. But the tiebreakers are disadvantageous for us because the new participants will study our tactics very carefully, making it very difficult for us in the end. Also, the new rules clearly state that the four of us can't watch the tiebreaker matches, so we don't target the newcomers!"
"Are you kidding me?! Isn't this bullying?!" (To be continued.)
Chapter 46 - Special Training
"Special training? What do you mean?" Lu Ming looked at Ella and Amelia, who were standing in front of him and wanted him and Artus to give them special training, with some surprise. He didn't understand what they were thinking.
Because of the round of 16 and the tiebreaker, Ella was feeling quite weak, so she asked her teacher Lu Ming and Artus, a master in this field like Lu Ming, to train her. As for Amelia, she simply didn't want to lose.
"I'm the weakest of the top four. Whether it's you, teacher, Earl Atus, or Viscount Atos, they're all stronger than me. And lately, I've been dragging Snorlax down during training. I don't want to continue like this, so please give me special training!!" Ella bowed sharply to Lu Ming and Atus, who was lying on the ground eating snacks.
"What about Amelia?" Lu Ming did not answer immediately, but instead looked at his second daughter, Amelia.
"I don't want to lose in a tiebreaker!" Amelia's answer was simple, so simple that Lu Ming vaguely saw a bit of Yusaha's shadow in her. Competitive, greedy, and with a strong desire to win.
"Alright. I understand. I'll give you two hellish training!" After a long silence, Lu Ming finally replied. But this answer didn't make Ella and Amelia happy at all.
Seeing Lu Ming take out a notebook and write something while a slightly sinister smile appeared on his face, the two women couldn't help but regret asking him for help.
-----------------------------------
Over the next few days, Lu Ming, Artus, and Saldallo conducted special training for Princess Ella and Amelia in the basement. The sheer terror of it sent chills down the spines of Kanina and Mirar, who were observing from the sidelines.
Besides having to memorize the effects of Snorlax and Quagsire's moves, the two of them also had to engage in one-on-one battles with Lu Ming, Artus, and Zeldalor. Choosing Artus was alright, since Artus himself wasn't particularly strong, only skilled in training monsters. Zeldalor was just a fighter, so there wasn't much difficulty.
But whoever runs into Lu Ming is in trouble!
After two nitrogenous charges, the relentless onslaught was excruciating, even from wooden swords. Moreover, fueled by the wolf's blood, Lu Ming showed no mercy, frequently ordering Jack to use a healing miracle to soothe the two abused girls during training.
However, under such intense training, Amelia inexplicably learned Nitro Charge, gaining a certain ability to counterattack. This made Kanina somewhat envious, so she also joined the special training, wanting to learn Nitro Charge, the Undead Squad's main skill, from Lu Ming.
With only two days left before the tiebreaker, Ella and Amelia had been forcibly trained by Lu Ming to the point where they could fight Saldallo to a standstill! And this was without Amelia using her skills. If she used her skills, Saldallo wouldn't even last four rounds against Amelia!
At this point, Lu Ming started having Amelia and Ella battle with him using their magical beasts. Artus, also a coach, brought his own Typhoon beast to train Ella, Amelia, and Kanina. They were also casually preparing for the Round of 16, just in case they got completely crushed.
It's worth mentioning that, under Lu Ming and Vileplume's brutality, Amelia and Kanina's Quagsire and Luca both learned the powerful Ice Beam and Ice Punch moves on their own. They also learned Power-Up Punch and Earthquake from their respective owners, further enhancing their abilities.
One day before the tiebreaker began, Lu Ming stood in the basement, looking at Ella and Amelia, who had improved considerably in both magic and swordsmanship after being thrashed by him for several days. Seeing that they were both much stronger than before, he couldn't help but feel proud and gratified.
However, there is still one more training they must pass, otherwise they will still have significant shortcomings.
After exchanging Pokémon with Artus, Ella, and Amelia, Lu Ming, holding a wooden sword, smiled and said, "This is your final training session, and also an experiment to test whether you truly understand your partners. Next, Count Artus Lecord and I will use your partners, and you will use our Vileplume and Typhlosion. If you can defeat the combination of the two of us plus your own partners, it means you know which aspects your partners have weaknesses, and you can prevent your opponents from exploiting these weaknesses in the tournament. If you can't, it just means you're still very inexperienced!"
"Regarding the matchups, I will be using Merria's Quagsire, and Atus will be using Princess Ella's Snorlax. As for who will fight whom, and your temporary partners, that will be up to you!"
After Lu Ming finished speaking, Amelia and Ella discussed it briefly, then Amelia stepped forward and said to Lu Ming, "Dad, I'll fight you. I'll use your Tyrant Flower!"
"Hehehe!" Watching Amelia try her hand at being clever for the first time, Lu Ming couldn't help but smile. He glanced at Miral, who was watching the battle not far away, and then said to Amelia, "Alright! Since you want to know if Daddy knows the weaknesses of the Queen of the Flower, then go ahead and try! My lovely Amelia!"
Sensing the expectation in Lu Ming's eyes, Amelia gradually became excited.
Seeing this, Jack and Saldallo, who were sitting on the stairs, couldn't help but sigh, thinking that Amelia was going to suffer a blow this time.
However, Miral and Lily knew that Amelia wasn't like Kanina, who was pampered and carefree by Sham. Having to hunt for food from a young age, she was far more capable than Kanina. If it were a life-or-death duel, without intervention, Kanina would undoubtedly be the one to die. Amelia, however, would likely be seriously injured as well!
"Are you ready?"
"Yes!"
Lu Ming and Amelia each adopted the Undead Legion etiquette and the Londorian noble etiquette, respectively, and then began their battle.
"Overlord Flower, Clear the Sun!" Immediately, Amelia planned to use the combination of Clear the Sun and Petal Dance.
But just as the Queen of the Seas used Sunshine, placing a miniature sun on the basement ceiling, Lu Ming smiled slightly and shouted to Swamp King, "Swamp King, use Rain Prayer and Freeze Ray!"
"Woo~" Swamp King cried out, then yawned, and rain clouds replaced the clear sky, and it started to rain.
Immediately afterward, before Amelia and Vega could react, Swamp King unleashed a freezing beam at Vega.
Upon seeing this, Amelia hurriedly exclaimed, "Queen of the Rising Sun, protect her!"
"Too slow!" Just as the Queen of the Seas erected its protective barrier to block the freezing rays, Lu Ming ordered again, "Swamp King, use Mud Spray!"
In an instant, Swamp King spewed out a stream of mud, catching Queen Flower and Amelia completely off guard.
However, Amelia would not give up so easily!
"Since our speed is limited, let's use ranged skills!" Amelia pointed at Swamp King with high spirits and shouted, "Floral Queen! Flood Blizzard!"
"Doo~!!" Suddenly, a large number of energy petals appeared around the Tyrant Flower, driven by a powerful energy, and shot towards Lu Ming and Swamp King.
"Surf, then splash water with a slam, and finally freeze the water with an ice beam!"
Before the petal blizzard could hit, Swamp King used Surf. It stirred up a large amount of groundwater beneath its feet, then leaped up, performed a somersault, and slammed its tail down, creating a curtain of water. Finally, it used Ice Beam to freeze the water curtain into an indestructible ice wall!
"What!?" Amelia was shocked to see that all of the Queen of the Flower's attacks were blocked by the ice wall.
At this moment, Lu Ming chose to press his advantage relentlessly!
With a sudden slam of his fist, Lu Ming shouted to Swamp King, "Swamp King, use your enhanced punch to shatter the ice wall!"
"Whoosh~!!" Swamp King unleashed a powerful punch, shattering the solid ice wall and sending the shards of ice flying towards Amelia and the Queen of the Rising Sun.
Seeing the ice blocks flying towards her, Amelia instinctively used Nitro Charge, enveloping her wooden sword in flames and smashing the ice blocks one by one!
"What is Lu Ming thinking? Isn't this giving Amelia a chance to increase her speed?" Sitting on the stairs, Baggetton asked Jack and Saldallo, whose feet were already soaking in water.
"I don't know, but Lu Ming must have his own reasons. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made the Swamp King do this." Compared to the clueless Baggetton, Jack could vaguely see that Lu Ming was setting a trap. He just didn't know what Lu Ming would do.
At this moment, Amelia, whose agility and speed had been greatly enhanced by the Nitro Charge, charged towards Lu Ming and Swamp King with the Tyrannosaurus Rex, intending to engage them in close combat.
But after taking only a few steps, the Queen of the Night stopped and ceased its charge.
"Oh! Did you see something?" Seeing that the Queen of the Rivers had stopped and was no longer charging through the water, Lu Ming smiled.
But Amelia didn't notice anything amiss when the Queen of Flowers stopped. She called out to the Queen of Flowers again, and seeing that it refused to continue its charge, she charged towards Lu Ming at high speed on its own.
Suddenly, he stepped on something slippery, lost his balance, and fell backward into the water.
"This is?"
“Ice!” Lu Ming walked step by step into Amelia’s room, squatted down, and took the thing that had caused Amelia to slip out of the water. He then explained, “Although Swamp King knocked most of the ice walls away, a small portion was still left in the water as a trap. Because it was frozen to the floor, it didn’t float, so you didn’t notice it.”
"Is that why the 'Queen of Flowers' stopped charging?"
“Yes. The Queen of the Night stopped because she sensed the water temperature was off and suspected there might be residual dark ice.” As she spoke, Lu Ming slowly stood up, casually tossing away the ice block, and then extended his hand to Amelia: “So, silly girl, you still have a lot to learn!”
"Perhaps. But Dad, you were too careless!" Grabbing Lu Ming's hand, Amelia suddenly grinned mischievously, then pulled him down into the water with a forceful tug.
Lu Ming, who had fallen into the water and was soaking wet, climbed out of the water and looked at Amelia speechlessly, then splashed water on her with his hands.
"Ah! Dad, what are you doing? Stop doing that!" Amelia yelled as she was suddenly splashed with water in her face.
But Lu Ming showed no sign of stopping; on the contrary, he was having a lot of fun.
Seeing that Lu Ming showed no sign of stopping, Amelia immediately retaliated. Meanwhile, Swamp King and Queen of the Valley joined in the fun.
It wasn't until a few minutes later, when Sham intervened out of concern that Lu Ming and Amelia might catch a cold, that Lu Ming and Amelia stopped their playful antics.
After freezing the water in the basement with the freezing ray and breaking it into pieces, Artus and Ella began a battle completely different from the one between Lu Ming and Amelia.
If the previous battles were fair, with Amelia not being reckless, they could be considered exciting back-and-forth matches. But this battle between Ella and Artus left everyone speechless.
The purpose of this battle was to test whether Ella and Amelia understood the weaknesses of their Pokémon. But how did it turn into a battle to test whether Atus could survive the onslaught of Ella and Typhlosion?
Due to its own shortcomings, Ella and Typhlosion launched an almost frenzied attack, suppressing Atus to the point where it was unable to control Snorlax.
