Aspiring to become a Pokémon trainer

"Now, please welcome both contestants to the stage!"

In the shadows of the athletes' tunnel, a brown-skinned girl leaned against the wall, closing her eyes to rest. After a while, she slightly pursed her lips, outlining a radiant, shallow curve.

As the cheerful sounds reached her ears, Nemo slowly opened her eyes.

Without any sign of fatigue, those clear eyes held only a burning fighting spirit.

Her heels touched the ground, the screen flickered, and the lights dispelled the shadows on her face, revealing her youthful and beautiful features.

Standing on the green field, the young champion of Padia raised an arm, gripped the Poké Ball, and slowly handed it to her friend, her opponent.

She is the thunder born from the wilderness of Parthia, the hurricane born from primal forces, responding to this battlefield in the most fiery way.

"Come on, Nanyin!"

The cheers and screams suddenly erupted into a frenzy.

Riding the Aegislash, hovering in the center of the arena, the referee's voice echoed, and the bright red flag was raised high.

"This match is a full-fledged 4v4 doubles battle, and the use of any items is allowed! The battle ends when all Pokémon on one side are unable to battle!"

On the big screen, the portraits of the two female champions appeared one after the other, and their four Poké Balls lit up, symbolizing the start of the competition.

"Guleton, the giant crocodile with bone markings, lets the world feel the pulse of Padia!"

The resounding shout was like a torch igniting a fuse, as if a wild power was being nurtured within it.

"Millardon, Sylveon the Fairy."

The soft calls of Nanyin are as clear as a spring, yet they possess an undeniable decisiveness.

"Roar!"

An ancient roar tore through the rain curtain, and Leton's fierce body crashed down, forcing aside gusts of cold wind.

The Crimson Pulse's properties were activated, and boundless energy pulses swept across the entire area, instantly dispelling the dense raindrops around it, steaming up large swathes of white mist, and causing the muddy ground to tremble violently under its trampling and sink downwards.

The hoarse hiss that followed echoed, and the blue flames surrounding the crocodile beast, instead of being extinguished in the rain, rose up violently as if fueled, creating a strange and eerie atmosphere.

The response to this savage roar was a deep, precise, and futuristic electronic resonance.

"Ah! Ah!"

Its form, a blend of deep blue and silver, hangs suspended in mid-air. Rainwater is repelled and evaporated by an invisible magnetic field as it approaches its surface.

The hadron engine started silently, and brilliant lightning flowed through the engine structure at the rear. The ripples from the special attack boost caused the surrounding light to be deflected.

At the same moment, Sylveon's elegant figure landed lightly in the mud in front of Milton, her pink and white ribbons moving without wind, shimmering with soft light.

The confrontation began head-on. Primal, eerie, futuristic, and pure—four distinctly different and powerful auras collided violently in the torrential rain.

"Full-force ramming! Earth Power!"

The roar shook the clouds, so Leton stomped on the ground beneath his feet, flexing his muscles and channeling his power to its peak.

In an instant, countless cracks appeared in the ground, and scorching air waves swept outwards from the area below. The shrill screams that shattered the sound barrier drowned out all other sounds, and rock peaks rose one after another, accompanying the destructive attack.

However, faced with this combined double blow, Nanyin simply calmed her mind and released her senses, and found the difference between the two.

"Hold on."

The engine roared, vortexes scorched, and highly compressed electrons instantly intertwined and spun in front of the blue-purple lizard beast, forming a honeycomb-like electromagnetic barrier.

The crimson comet arrived in the blink of an eye, and the battle between attack and defense caused the earth to tremble and the air to become disordered. The barrier fluctuated violently and cracks spread, but it still stubbornly blocked the physical impact.

at the same time!

"Buyi!" The tiny elf tilted its head back, a sharp glint flashing in its clear eyes. It took a deep breath, its snowy neck rising and falling slightly, gathering its increasing strength, and then—

Loud noise.

The sound waves swept through the trees, grass, and rocks, even creating gaps in the clouds overhead. Due to the nature of the fairy skin, the immense energy instantly poured into the tinnitus. The towering rock peaks were shattered by the loud noise before they could even get close. With its old power gone and new power yet to be generated, Guleton was already in a state of imbalance, let alone being able to dodge.

The key to timing was entirely in the hands of the latecomers. The savage lizard beast was severely injured and retreated several steps, but it could not suppress its increasingly heavy breathing or the burning pain that permeated its body.

In the midst of this alternation of offense and defense, thunder roared again, and Millerton soared into the air, using the rain to spread thousands of electric snakes, turning the entire field into the best conductor.

Having just endured a super move that was four times more effective than normal, and with an unavoidable lightning bolt approaching, even with his exceptional endurance and unwavering will, Leton was unable to suppress his body's instincts.

It gazed at Millerton, who stood high above, and roared in resentment, but could only slowly lower its head, forcibly supporting its body, and stand firm in this muddy swamp.

"Therefore, Lehton has lost its combat capability!"

Logically speaking, Nemo's judgments were all correct, but in terms of sensory acuity and the speed of issuing commands, she naturally could not match the silver-haired girl. In a battle between strong opponents, any difference would be magnified and become a decisive factor.

Nemo bit her lower lip, raindrops sliding down her cheeks, indistinguishable between rain and the fine sweat of frustration.

She sighed softly, but her fighting spirit only intensified.

"It's not over yet, go for it, Magic Mask Nyan!"

Raise your wrist, and the luster of the crystal is ready to burst forth.

Seeing this, Nan Yin responded in kind. Red lights intertwined, Eevee lightly touched the ground and returned to her shoulder, while the little devil, wearing a mask, leaped into the arena.

This is the second round of the battle.

Chapter 289 After Victory

"Thorn vine stick".

His voice remained clear and sharp, and his power was as strong as ever. Upon hearing the news, the little demon covered his face, revealing a mask of blazing anger. As his small toes touched the ground, the thorny vine club wrapped in flames had already condensed in his palm during the attack.

沓，沓。

The sound was close, and the distance was also close.

The crocodile beast, faster than the ghostly fire, was completely superior to its opponent in terms of attributes, except—

"Magic Masked Cat, it's too crystallized!"

The flexibility of the crystallization's free transformation properties is manifested here. Upon hearing Nimo's command, a halo as thick as a mountain adheres to her body, transforming into a diamond with distinct edges and corners.

A rugged, rough whetstone served as a majestic crown, hanging high above the cat demon's head.

"Bony?"

The flaming vines crashed down, but the agile figure dodged them with a sideways movement, and even though there were abrasions, they couldn't burn the petrified skin.

What was originally a relationship of restraint has now become a strong resistance.

Just as the former lost all its strength, Masked Cat stomped the ground again, increasing its strength from its shoulders and waist, and rammed its sharp claws into the dazzling mask.

"Tai Jing erupts!"

Feeling the pain, the little devil's steps trembled slightly, but he gritted his teeth and swallowed his words before revealing his face again.

Green Grass Mask transformed into a furious expression, and before the following commands could be issued, the scorching torrents of the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile were already approaching.

The high temperature caused water vapor to rise, and the flames, which should have been invisible, now resembled birds spreading their wings, intentionally devouring even the last bit of strength of the evil spirit.

Flames blaze and sing.

Fortunately, Nan Yin will not stand idly by, nor will Milton remain indifferent or a passive bystander.

"Lightning Strike".

The deep electronic hum instantly transformed into a thunderous roar that tore through the rain. Millerton's streamlined body transformed into a purple light, cutting ruthlessly between the all-consuming blue flames and the desperately struggling Evil Spirit with a speed beyond the limits of vision.

However, their purpose was not to rescue the beast, but to target the crocodile beast that had just finished unleashing its Blazing Song and whose furnace fire aura was just beginning to subside.

It was impossible to see with the naked eye. Nemo's pupils contracted slightly. She knew that Nan Yin would not sit idly by, and Milton's speed was enough to support any corner of the battlefield. However, the former deliberately ignored the little devil entangled by the flames and poured all the violent lightning into the most critical firepower fulcrum in her lineup, namely the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile, which had undergone two special attack upgrades.

"Hold on!"

He opened his lips to call out, his voice urgent.

However, it was too late!

The energy surge following the release of Flame Song caused the Crocodile Beast's crouching body to momentarily stiffen. The flames on its back flickered violently, attempting to breach its shield, but the moment the eerie blue aura ignited—

Boom!

The purple-blue figure, entwined with thousands of lightning snakes, had already crashed into the former's chest, which was covered with bone armor.

The dull thud of heavy objects colliding with flesh echoed, and rampant lightning, like thousands of snakes and pythons, instantly covered the shell of the giant bone-patterned crocodile!

The current surged and penetrated wildly through its rain-soaked body, tearing the fiery breath from its jaws to shreds by the frenzied electricity, leaving only muffled groans of pain.

"Roar!"

Unable to resist, the armored body was struck as if by an invisible giant hammer, flying backward and crashing heavily onto the edge of the muddy field.

Upon closer inspection, the bone furnace on its back had completely extinguished, and the eerie blue flames had dimmed, leaving only charred marks and wisps of smoke.

"The Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile is incapacitated!" The referee's flag fell like a guillotine.

The rain fell like a tapestry, and the lingering power of lightning still hissed in the air. The fallen crocodile beast splashed up murky water, while in the center of the arena, the firebird that had swallowed the little demon suddenly weakened after losing its original energy supply.

Amidst the flames, the lush greenery not only did not die out, but instead burst forth with even more tenacious vitality under the nourishment of the rain.

"Bonnie!"

Echoing the torrential rain, a piercing yet resolute shout, tinged with searing pain, pierced through the fiery barrier. The petite body of the Egui Peng suddenly spun amidst the waning blue flames. Its crimson, furious expression vanished as it leaned forward, dissipating into sparks and revealing its true form.

The next instant, the well mask, carved with ancient patterns and adorned with what appeared to be tear stains around the eyes, was already covering the face.

Clear, cool water gushed from the edge of the mask as if it were alive, instantly enveloping its scorched body. The water carried a healing coolness, washing away the scorch marks, soothing the pain, and forming a constantly flowing azure film around it.

"Too crystalline."

The girl's response followed immediately.

hum.

The ceaseless, ever-flowing water seemed to be frozen in time, transforming into solid crystals that repaired the azure mask, creating a unique form.

With its face reflected in the light, the ability activated, and the boost to its Special Defense instantly dissipated, revealing the little guy's burning gaze. Vast waves then reformed into the shape of a Vine Club.

That's a refusal to admit defeat, a refusal to accept defeat.

Taijing's attribute: Water.

The attribute advantage was instantly reversed at this moment. Magic Masked Cat's Rock attribute, which was originally a solid barrier, became a heavy burden in front of the Mischievous Well Mask.

"Turn back immediately!" Nemo reacted with lightning speed, without the slightest hesitation. Masked Cat's speed was indeed fast, but against the surging, elementally weak water element, it was like snow meeting the blazing sun.

Retreat and regroup; this is the wisest choice at this moment.

The cat demon's figure blurred instantly, transforming into an elusive afterimage. Its toes were wrapped in space-displacement energy as it lunged at the Egui Peng. Its purpose was not to launch a direct attack, but to use this contact to retreat first, leveraging its rapid return to regroup and regroup.

However, just as the afterimage was about to touch the ominous creature shrouded in water—

"Hold on."

Nan Yin's voice spoke first, as if she had already seen through the tactical intentions in the blink of an eye.

A hemispherical shield, shimmering with light, suddenly opened up before Egui Peng. The barrier was not a solid entity, but rather resembled a highly compressed, rapidly spinning vortex.

boom.

When the Magical Masked Cat's toe struck down, the expected contact and position-swapping effect did not take effect. Instead, it felt like crashing into a bottomless, turbulent undercurrent.

The swirling, swirling force not only perfectly absorbed the impact, but also caused Masked Cat's lithe body to stumble, interrupting its rapid return.

"what?"

"It's over, Nemo."

As the sound faded, the Evil Phantom let out a clear, long cry, and its mask suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, resonating strongly with the flowing water around it.

The moisture in the entire arena seemed to be sucked out and condensed at this moment. The boundless water energy was no longer a trickle, but turned into a raging torrent, heading straight for the cat demon whose defenses had been completely wiped out.

It's no longer a contest of skills, but a torrent of power accumulated to its peak under the influence of elemental advantage, a move made after exchanging injury for advantage and proceeding cautiously step by step.

As the torrent swept in, Masked Cat only had time to cross his arms in front of him, trying his best to resist.

However, the hard rock armor, under the absolute advantage of its elemental advantage, shattered under the strain. In the blink of an eye, it was swept away without any resistance and slammed into the protective shield at the edge of the arena.

Click.

When the water finally exhausted its potential energy and the mist gradually dissipated, only a deep mud pit remained at the edge of the arena. Magical Masked Cat lay at the bottom of the pit, its crown, which symbolized the power of the crystal, had turned into light fragments and disappeared, revealing its soaked fur underneath.

Its eyes were closed, and it had lost all consciousness.

"Magic Masked Cat has lost consciousness!"
