Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

Goodra remained unmoved, focusing solely on gathering power for its Iron Tail.

Ice Pillar Strike should be cast first.

This time, at least there was no more Miss.

Under Jiang Feng's hopeful gaze, the powerful, crystal-blue ice pillar slammed heavily onto Nianmeilong's head.

Nianmeilong's figure swayed again, and then... nothing happened?

The hope in Jiang Feng's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by confusion and bewilderment.

Although the shaking was indeed a bit greater than when he was hit by the power of the moon, this was completely different from what Jiang Feng had imagined!

With the facts laid bare, the conjecture he had deliberately ignored involuntarily surfaced in his mind: this Goodra... was a Steelix!

……

"It's confirmed, it's confirmed! This Goodra isn't Steelix, I'll eat Kyogre alive!"

"Holy crap, this is terrifying! What does Steelix even mean? Nine resistances, one immunity, and only two weaknesses! The only Steelix discovered so far is probably Aluminum Steelix..."

"What kind of trash resistance is Duraludon? Goodra is just a Pokémon with an added Steel type... I guarantee that without any other changes, it will immediately go from the weakest pseudo-legendary to the strongest pseudo-legendary! Not to mention that [Seclusion] is probably its exclusive move."

"Just a reminder, the legendary God of Time, Dialga, is also a dual-type Steel Dragon, but no one has ever seen him, so it hasn't been confirmed."

"What is Dialga? It's just a little Goodra!"

…………

The moment Jiang Feng discovered that Goodra was actually Steelix, the battle, though not yet over, felt as if it were.

A trainer who has no fighting spirit on the field has already lost.

In the ensuing battles, Jiang Feng commanded the fighting almost mechanically.

Protected by the reflective barrier, the Iron Tail of the Goomer Dragon failed to finish off the Daruma Baboon, but it still sent him flying ten meters away.

Then, it burrowed into the shell again and used the spinning top.

The Daruma in Daruma Mode is much faster than the Goomeron.

With the added advantage of the Steel type's double super-effective damage, Darmanitan was rendered unable to fight after being hit by the dump truck.

The next Primarina, protected by the double walls and the water ring, lingered on for a long time.

Yet it still couldn't pose even the slightest threat to Niu Meilong.

Even a regular Goodra is already a "Wait Wall" for special attackers, let alone with the Steel type, the number one defensive type.

As for the last one, the Breloom, it has both Grass and Poison attributes. Goodra has four times the resistance to one and is completely immune to the other.

Moreover, this exposed mushroom is nothing more than a lowly, mindless creature that only knows how to put people to sleep.

Xia Shen didn't even need to lift a finger; he voluntarily let Nian Meilong use the sleep function and entered a sleep state.

Then, continue using sleep talking.

Because Goodra doesn't have many variant moves, it only took a few sleep talking for Goodra to draw moves like Flamethrower and Ice Beam, which were super effective against it, and defeat it directly.

At this point, Nian Meilong had completed a stunning three-in-a-row victory!

What's even more amazing is the continuous healing from the Healing Stone, plus the stamina recovery from the final [Sleep] move.

Even after the entire battle ended, Nume-ryu's stamina was still full.

But Goodra, after battling for nearly half an hour, seemed unaccustomed to such a high-intensity battle. Realizing her opponent had no more Pokémon available, she listlessly yawned, then retreated into her shell to catch up on sleep...

It appears in the form of a snail shell and ends in the form of a snail shell.

Niu Meilong concealed his merits and fame, leaving only the chaotic traces of battle on the battlefield.

And the hearts of millions of viewers remain unsettled for a long time.

## Chapter 203 The Aftermath of Sticky Dragon! (3.8k)

The final match of the opening tournament for the Sichuan-Chongqing region of the National College Student Pokémon Battle League.

Xia Shen of Wudu University defeated Jiang Feng of Sichuan University 3:0.

This also means that this highly anticipated opening match ended with Wudu University breaking through the Jian Ge Arena for the first time.

But at this moment, apart from the people in these two cities who still remember this matter, everyone's attention has been drawn to something else.

Xia Shen's sticky dragon that can defeat three opponents at once!

It's no exaggeration to say that within just half an hour of Niu Meilong's appearance, Xia Shen once again dominated social media platforms around the world.

It's still a new Pokémon in the ancient East Blue form, but unlike the previous ones, this Pokémon is a pseudo-legendary!

……

Although there is no explicit concept of racial stats in this world, Pokémon have existed in this world for so many years that everyone has their own judgment on which Pokémon are stronger and which are weaker.

Even the best Coal Turtle cannot outrun the most ordinary Iron-Faced Ninja; this is an inviolable law of nature.

Therefore, the term "quasi-god," which is not officially recognized but is widely circulated among the people, contains one of the most basic values ​​of the people.

On average, among the elf race, pseudo-legendary elves are rarer and more powerful than other elves.

Of the hundreds of Pokémon discovered so far, only a mere nine, fewer than two in number, can be called pseudo-legendary.

These nine spirits each have their own strengths.

The elusive and unpredictable Dronbalut...

Tyranitar, known as the Sandstorm King...

The Garchomp is a well-rounded and powerful creature, excelling in both offense and defense...

It can be said that every Pokémon is the dream of every trainer.

However, even among those who are considered near-gods, there are differences in skill level.

Without a doubt, Goodra is the one that, along with Kommo-o, has long been secretly referred to as a disgrace to pseudo-legendary beings.

However, Kommo-o has its own Z-Move [Blazing Dance Sonic Boom], and without its natural counter, Fairy-type, on the field, it is still very strong.

But the Goommune seems to have been forgotten by Arceus, and has almost no presence among the pseudo-gods.

A single Dragon type isn't very good; its speed is awkwardly mediocre, it doesn't have a Mega Evolution, and its damage output is far inferior to those of the older generation.

The only redeeming qualities are its extremely high special defense and decent overall durability.

…………

But all of this will come to an end today.

The title of "the shame of the quasi-god" for Nyanmei will be a thing of the past.

It appears to be a dual-type Pokémon, Steelix, and its signature move, [Seclusion], is suspected to increase physical defense and evasion rate.

These two changes alone are enough to completely turn Goodra's fortunes around.

However, the prerequisite is that these two key points need to be confirmed by Xia Shen, the discoverer of the ancient East Sea form of the Nymphaloid Dragon.

Thus, although the opening match has ended, in some ways it marks the beginning of another, even more remarkable event.

------

Outside the Jian Ge Arena.

The minibus of the University of Fuzhou team was completely surrounded by enthusiastic local reporters from Fu Nan.

Yueyue Xiong from Nandu and Zoroark from Shangjing—their colleagues made a fortune from these two explosive pieces of news.

Today, it's finally our turn in Funan!

They feel no remorse whatsoever for idolizing their mortal enemy. Is that what you call a mortal enemy?

This is a big spender!

In this era where traffic is king, how could I possibly miss out on firsthand information about such explosive news?

But whether they would miss it or not was not up to them. After blocking the car for nearly half an hour, there was still no sound from inside.

The reporters, finally realizing something was wrong, looked out the car window and discovered that none of the people inside were from Chongqing University.

……

At another exit of the Jiange Arena, a simple, unadorned bus slowly drove out, heading towards the Fog City.

"You've been hiding your true colors!" In the carriage, Rou Ge excitedly patted Xia Shen's shoulder beside him.

Xia Shen had subconsciously prepared for his arm to go numb, but it felt no different than being touched.

It seems that the Steel Stones must have been responsible for the modifications they made to his body.

As Xia Shen was lost in thought, Rou Ge pressed him from the side, "Is your Gooey Dragon really a Steelix?"

The other members of the school team who weren't that close to Xia Shen also pricked up their ears, waiting for Xia Shen's reply.

"Oh, a steel dragon just like the aluminum steel dragon."

Xia Shen knew what else she wanted to ask: "That seclusion technique does indeed increase physical defense and evasion rate."

hiss--

A collective gasp of cold air filled the carriage.

In the dead of winter, it wasn't the air conditioning that was cold, but rather the sighs of the crowd.

Although everyone knows that this is almost certainly true, getting a confirmation from the person in question is another matter entirely.

Seeing that Xia Shen had already answered all the questions she wanted to ask, Ye Rou had no choice but to ask a different question, "By the way, why don't you just hold a small press conference over there? Isn't that what you always do?"

Xia Shen stretched and said, "They booed me so much before the game, and now they want me to give them any publicity? I'll definitely save that for when I get back to school."

Although Xia Shen is not a petty person, given the current situation, he certainly wouldn't give the people of Funan any good fruit juice.

Ye Rou, a local from Chongqing, was very pleased with Xia Shen's awareness and exclaimed that she would protect him at school from now on.

Xia Shen smiled politely and replied, "Thank you, Brother Ye Rou!"

The group chatted and laughed as they returned to the foggy city.
