To be honest, if Jiang Tianhao didn't know that the two were siblings, he would have thought they were enemies.
“Yeah, brother,” Li Zhi chimed in.
After all, gossip knows no age or gender.
Listening to the conversation between these two newly acquainted friends, Shi Fen said somewhat helplessly, "Of course they're my biological children, I..."
But before Shi Fen could finish speaking, a voice drew the attention of all three of them, and they looked to the right in surprise.
Not only Jiang Tianhao and his two companions, but also Qiao Yingzi and the other girls were looking in the same direction.
Qian Sanyi walked up to Zhao Xuan and said with a firm expression, "Zhao Xuan, I want to have a match with you."
“Uh…” Qian Sanyi’s words startled Zhao Xuan at first, then he chuckled: “Heh, it’s not that Qian Sanyi doesn’t want to compete with you, but do you think your Horsea can compete with my Pokémon?”
As soon as Zhao Xuan finished speaking, Steel Crow, Roentgenrakilista, Baby, Kodora, and (ccec) Liangspine Dragon all came over.
"Clang!!" The Steel-Armored Raven was the first to flap its wings and land, its metallic wings reflecting a cold, sharp light in the sunlight.
The gust of wind whipped up by the wings ruffled Qian Sanyi's bangs, and he instinctively took a half step back, his shoes screeching as they scraped the ground.
"Roar~" A low growl from the Röntgen cat suddenly exploded in the air, and visible electric currents crackled between its gold and blue fur, instantly charring the grass to charcoal under its claws.
"Thump thump!!" Each step of Kodora's was like a warhammer striking the earth, and the lawn cracked with spiderweb-like fissures around it.
The chilling aura surrounding the Liangjilong condensed into frost flowers on the ground, and Qian Sanyi suddenly realized that his breath was turning into white mist.
The most terrifying creature was Poison Baby, which hovered in mid-air with its head tilted, and the purple venom oozing from the tip of its tail dripped down, corroding the rocks and producing wisps of blue smoke.
Lin Miaomiao gripped Qiao Yingzi's wrist tightly, staring at the still-smoking ground beneath Röntgen's paws.
Jiang Tianhao's Adam's apple bobbed twice.
Qian Sanyi's back was already soaked with cold sweat. He felt as if a thousand pounds were pressing down on his shoulders, and his knees were trembling slightly uncontrollably.
Horsea was shaking violently inside the Poké Ball, clearly in fear.
Vision began to darken, and my nostrils were filled with an eerie stench of rust, burnt smells, and bone-chilling cold.
"Want to continue?" Zhao Xuan's voice seemed to come from a great distance. The Poison Baby on his shoulder suddenly grinned, revealing fine, needle-like fangs, and its tail venomous needle snapped out half an inch.
Qian Sanyi bit his tongue hard, the taste of blood bringing him to his senses, only to find his right hand retracting against his will—it was the position he was preparing to throw the Poké Ball.
Only then did everyone notice that the back of Qian Sanyi's light blue shirt was soaked through and clung tightly to his spine.
His left hand, hanging by his side, was clenched so tightly that his nails pierced his palm, drawing out specks of scarlet blood.
"Crack...crack..." A faint cracking sound suddenly rang out. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that Kodora had simply flicked its tail, and the landscape stone three meters away had split in two.
At just the right moment, the Steel-Armored Raven let out a metallic scraping cry, the sound waves making everyone's eardrums ache.
Suddenly, Shi Miao's Arcanine tucked its tail between its legs and hid behind her. This once majestic fire behemoth was now whimpering like a puppy.
Shi Fen touched his slightly trembling Poké Ball, a stress response he only had when encountering a natural enemy.
"I..." Qian Sanyi choked as soon as he opened his mouth, his throat feeling as if it were being pierced by icicles.
Poison Baby had somehow gotten behind him, and when the needle grazed his earlobe, he clearly heard the sound of fabric tearing.
The Röntgen cat's eyes flashed like lightning.
Zhao Xuan raised his hand and tapped the tablet computer lightly, and the five Pokémon instantly suppressed their presence.
"So? Do you still want to compete with me?" Zhao Xuan looked at Qian Sanyi and chuckled.
It wasn't that Zhao Xuan looked down on him; it was just that Qian Sanyi was like an ant to him, completely uninteresting.
He doesn't have time to waste with him.
"Qian Sanyi, you should know your place. With your strength, you probably can't even beat someone at the Cloud Rank. You want to compete with Xuanzi? You should just give up."
At this moment, Jiang Tianhao walked over, his voice filled with sarcasm.
Shi Fen and Li Zhi also came over, looking at Qian Sanyi with an air of detached amusement.
Shi Fen and Li Zhi were well aware of Zhao Xuan's strength. To be honest, Qian Sanyi, that rookie, was no match for anyone here.
Of course, Tang Jiaojiao is an exception.
Not only Jiang Tianhao and his two companions thought this way, but Qiao Yingzi and the other girls also thought so.
Qiao Yingzi, Shi Miao, and Li Yunjie didn't know what to say, but Lin Miaomiao didn't care and said somewhat speechlessly, "Qian Sanyi, you should go back and study your books. To be honest, you really don't have any talent for training Pokémon."
This wasn't just something Lin Miaomiao made up. She and Qian Sanyi had fought many times, and Qian Sanyi hadn't improved at all; it was as if he had been standing still all along.
"Qian Sanyi, let it go," Deng Xiaoqi tugged at Qian Sanyi's clothes and advised.
Deng Xiaoqi really doesn't understand why Qian Sanyi is so stubborn as to actually approach Zhao Xuan.
You should know that Jiang Tianhao and the others didn't even challenge Zhao Xuan to a match. Deng Xiaoqi knew Qian Sanyi's strength very well. Just as Lin Miaomiao said, Qian Sanyi had no talent at all.
Chapter 195 Absolutely No Talent
At this point, Deng Xiaoqi was no longer called Qian Sanyi, but Sanyi.
Qian Sanyi's performance today was extremely disappointing to her.
"No, Zhao Xuan, you absolutely have to have a match with me!" Qian Sanyi shouted, somewhat losing his temper, after hearing Jiang Tianhao's sarcasm, Deng Xiaoqi's advice, and especially Lin Miaomiao's words.
Her eyes were also a little red as she looked at Zhao Xuan.
"Heh, Qian Sanyi, are you getting too big for your britches?" Jiang Tianhao's displeased voice rang out before Zhao Xuan could speak.
As Jiang Tianhao spoke, he prepared to pull Qian Sanyi away.
After all, Qian Sanyi was someone he brought with him.
"Haozi, wait a moment." Zhao Xuan stopped Jiang Tianhao when he saw this.
Seeing this, Jiang Tianhao just looked at Qian Sanyi with displeasure. This Qian Sanyi was really troublesome. He should have known better than to let this guy come over.
After stopping Jiang Tianhao, Zhao Xuan looked at Qian Sanyi and said, "You're not qualified to compare with me yet. Get past my sister first."
Upon hearing his older brother's words, Li Yunjie immediately walked over, looking at Qian Sanyi with displeasure. This guy was really annoying.
“My brother is right, you have to get past me first.”
"Pipi!!" Pipi sat upright on Li Yunjie's shoulder, the two red marks on its little face flashing with wisps of lightning.
"Are you insulting me?" Qian Sanyi said angrily, looking at Li Yunjie, who was even younger than him, and the short Pichu.
"Hey, what do you mean? You're underestimating me, aren't you? I'll beat you to a pulp!" Li Yunjie said angrily upon hearing this.
"Pichu!!" Pichu was also furious.
"Think what you want. If you don't want to compete, then leave my house. I don't have time to play with you." Zhao Xuan said, preparing to leave the arena.
Seeing that Zhao Xuan was really about to leave, Qian Sanyi quickly said, "Wait, I'll compete."
"Then let's get started quickly," Zhao Xuan said upon seeing this.
Zhao Xuan then switched to a Water-type terrain, since Qian Sanyi's Horsea was a Water-type Pokémon, and it wouldn't be easy for it to fight on land.
"You said it yourself!" Li Yunjie and Qian Sanyi each stood on one side, and then Qian Sanyi took the lead in throwing out the Poké Ball.
The Poké Ball traced a silver arc on the water's surface, and with a "bang," a pillar-shaped Pokémon appeared on the pool.
It was the black seahorse.
The ink seahorse is mostly blue, with pale yellow fins on its belly and back. Its iris is red, and it has three spikes on each side of its head, through which it sprays ink from its long, cylindrical mouth. Its tail curls forward counter-clockwise.
"MoMo!" As soon as MoMo came out, it glanced fearfully at the Steelraven and the others that surrounded it, which looked like prehistoric beasts.
Not only Corviknight and its companions, but also Jiang Tianhao and his friends' Pokémon were released, some big and some small.
This terrified the seahorse.
"Little Pikachu, let them know how powerful we are," Li Yunjie said, as Pikachu landed lightly on her arm.
When the little guy's paws touched the water's surface, pale golden electricity immediately wove a spiderweb-like floating bridge on the water's surface.
"Pipi!" With a childish cry, the floating bridge suddenly contracted into a ring-shaped electric net, enveloping the entire circular swimming pool like a golden birdcage.
"The match begins!" Jiang Tianhao, the referee, had barely finished speaking when he announced the start of the match.
Qian Sanyi shouted first, "Hippocampus! Defeat Pichu!"
Mo Haima's slender body suddenly curled up like a spring at the bottom of the pool.
"Boom!!" A ten-meter-high wall of waves suddenly exploded on the water's surface, and a black tide carrying ink rushed towards Pichu like a tsunami.
"A flash of lightning!" Li Yunjie's voice pierced through the waves.
"Pika!!" Pichu shouted, transforming into a golden meteor as it sped across the water's surface, the splashing waves vaporizing into white mist the instant they touched the static electricity around it.
As the giant seahorse poked its head out from the center of the whirlpool, about to spray water, two scarlet headlights suddenly lit up in the thick fog—it was Pichu's electric sac, which had been accumulating to its fullest extent!
The crackling sound of 100,000 volts turned the entire pool into a giant electrolytic cell, with the water boiling and bubbling. Qian Sanyi's expression changed drastically: "Dive into the deep end!" However, the current had already spread along the water molecules, and the black seahorse's pearly scales shimmered with blue-purple electric light as it painfully curled up behind the coral reef at the bottom of the pool.
Zhao Xuan and the others outside the venue were speechless when they heard Qian Sanyi's order. Didn't he know that water conducts electricity?
Besides, it's just a pool, not an ocean, so how deep can it be?
Training Pokémon like this is truly misleading and harmful to young people.
Or perhaps Qian Sanyi realized his mistake and quickly shouted, "Mo Haima!! Jump up!!"
·· ··Requesting flowers···· ··
Despite the excruciating pain, the seahorse, battered and bruised from being electrocuted, leaped out of the pool upon hearing its master's command.
"Split it open with the iron tail!" Li Yunjie seized the opportunity and gave the order.
"Pikachu!!" Pichu's tail instantly gleamed with a metallic sheen, and its small body spun 720 degrees in the air, striking straight at Horsea's head.
"boom--!"
The metallic tail slammed heavily into the head of the black seahorse, sending sparks flying. The black seahorse's slender body flew out like a kite with a broken string, leaving long trails of water on the surface of the pool.
"Hornet!" Qian Sanyi's hands gripping the railing bulged with veins. Only then did he notice that the current on Pichu's tail had formed an electromagnetic chain the moment Iron Tail fell, pinning Horsea firmly to the surface of the water, unable to break free.
.... ...... ....
A few stray strands of hair from Li Yunjie's bun came loose in the blast of air: "Finish it! With thunder!"
“Pichoo—” The little guy’s electric pouches on his cheeks suddenly swelled up.
Before Qian Sanyi could even give the order, a golden lightning bolt pierced through the dome. The pool instantly evaporated, revealing the charred skeleton of the artificial coral at the bottom. The black seahorse floated on the surface, its body emitting bluish smoke, its tail fin still twitching unconsciously.
"The Black Seahorse is incapacitated!" Jiang Tianhao whistled, suppressing a laugh. "So some top students are better off staying at their desks..."
Deng Xiaoqi silently withdrew her hand, which was about to hand over the medicine. She watched Qian Sanyi stagger and kneel in front of the control panel, his white shirt soaked with cold sweat. Suddenly, she felt that this boy, who always stood straight, was as thin as a fallen leaf at this moment.
"Do you know why you can't win?" Zhao Xuan's voice came from above. He leaned against the steel beam of the second-floor viewing platform, twirling a high-grade ball between his fingers: "You can't even see through your own fears."
Li Yunjie squatted by the pool and poked the tip of Pikachu's tail: "Brother, don't make it sound so mysterious. He clearly doesn't even know that water conducts electricity."
Pichu cooperated by spitting out a small spark of electricity, and a string of crackling blue arcs immediately shot up from the ink left by the ink seahorse.
Qian Sanyi mechanically retrieved the Mo Haima.
He looked up in Zhao Xuan's direction, only to find that the other had already turned and left, leaving only broken lights swaying in the puddles.
Chapter 196 Thunder Crystal
Time passed by unnoticed, and it was around nine o'clock in the evening.
After seeing Lin Miaomiao and her group off, Zhao Xuan released Articuno.
This little guy has been rebelling in the Master Ball for who knows how long, constantly spreading his unhappy mood.
After all, besides it, the Steelraven and the others also came out.
"Starry Sky, open the protective shield. No one is allowed to enter the manor without my permission."
Zhao Xuan spoke, and a cold, mechanical voice rang out: "Yes, Master."
"Buzz!!" Immediately afterwards, a transparent shield covered the entire manor.
This is what a top-tier estate is equipped with.
Each manor is controlled by an independent AI system.
Of course, it would be even better to have a Rotom; such an AI would be the best, and you wouldn't have to worry about others hacking in.
