With a loud "thump!", a cloud of dust rose from the field.
"Ummi!!" Blastoise roared, and the surrounding air vibrated.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Xuan immediately began checking Blastoise's information.
Pokémon: Blastoise
Level: Mid-stage Dojo
Attribute: Water
Ability: Torrent
Qualification: King level
Skills: Water Cannon, Blizzard, Ice Beam, Waterfall, High-Speed Spin, Protect, Rain Dance...
Seeing that there were only Gym Leader level Pokémon, Zhao Xuan guessed that this must be Xu Hongdou's second team, since the first team's Pokémon were at least at the near-Elite Four level.
Otherwise, Xu Hongdou would never have been able to reach the level of a near-heavenly king.
"The Röntgen cat is now in your hands."
Zhao Xuan then threw out a Velkhana Poké Ball.
"boom!"
The Poké Ball exploded in mid-air with golden and red lightning, and a deafening tiger roar echoed from the arcs of electricity.
The moment the Röntgen cat touched the ground with all four paws, the entire examination room suddenly went dark—510—the dome lighting system was interfered with by the stray current, and in the flickering light, its golden vertical pupils shone like searchlights.
"This is..." The examiner's pen clattered onto the table. He saw that beneath the Röntgen cat's dark blue fur lay hidden purple-gold patterns, and the arcs of electricity dancing in its mane were a rare blue-silver color.
As the behemoth paced, spiderweb-like charred cracks appeared on the ground, and the air was filled with the metallic stench characteristic of ozone.
Xu Hongdou's silk hair ribbon suddenly stood upright, and she subconsciously pressed her hair down: "What terrifying lightning!"
Before the words were even finished, fine water droplets suddenly seeped from the gaps in Blastoise's carapace—this was the instinctive defensive reaction of a Water-type Pokémon when encountering a powerful enemy.
"Roar!!" Röntgen Cat raised its head and roared, the sound waves causing ripples to spread across the protective shield. The countless free-floating electrons suddenly solidified, weaving into a dazzling crown of lightning above its head.
As the behemoth arched its back, blue-silver plasma burst forth along its spine, leaving a tail three meters long trailing behind it.
A chorus of gasps erupted from the audience. One of the trainee examiners trembled as he raised his Pokédex; the instrument showed that the surrounding electromagnetic field strength was increasing at a rate of 7% per second, exceeding the limit for ordinary Electric-type Pokémon.
Chapter 223 Blastoise VS Roentgenie!
After the protective dome of the examination hall suddenly rippled, a protective shield enveloped the entire venue.
Xu Hongdou's silk shirt fluttered without any wind as she said with a grin, "Little brother, I won't stand on ceremony."
Blastoise, Blizzard!
The cannon on Blastoise's carapace suddenly unleashed a burst of azure light, instantly causing the temperature in the arena to plummet below freezing. A flurry of ice crystals condensed into a frost tornado amidst the swirling air currents, carrying sharp ice shards as it hurtled towards Xanthius.
"Electric grid!" Zhao Xuan narrowed his eyes and calmly gave the order.
"Roar!!" A blinding golden light burst forth from the Röntgen's mane, and countless arcs of electricity intertwined in the air to form a hexagonal electric grid.
"Crack!! Crack!!"
The instant the frost collided with the electric current, the entire examination hall exploded into a blue-and-white energy vortex. The ice water melted by the electric grid hadn't even hit the ground before it was evaporated into a misty vapor by the subsequent current.
"Zizzi!!!"
Xu Hongdou's fingertips brushed across the headset: "Waterfall climbing!"
The Blastoise suddenly curled into a ball, and the water gushing from its carapace formed a towering column of water beneath it.
Using the propulsion of the waterfall, the steel tortoise shell transformed into a spinning battering ram, smashing through the steam curtain. The edges of the rapidly spinning shell turned crimson from the friction, leaving scorching trails of air in its wake.
"Thunder Fang!" Zhao Xuan's voice pierced through the metallic hum.
The Röntgen cat's hind leg muscles suddenly bulge, leaving a spiderweb-like crack on the ground as it leaps.
Brilliant lightning coalesced on the fangs into a lightsaber-like shape, colliding violently with the oncoming Blastoise. Golden and red sparks and azure water mist exploded into a ring-shaped shockwave, instantly cracking the bulletproof glass of the examiners' platform.
"boom!"
The explosion caused by the collision of the two energies blasted a huge crater with a diameter of five meters in the center of the field.
The Blastoise's carapace crackled with residual electric arcs, while ice crystals dripped from the Röntgen's right forepaw—frost flowers condensed on its fur from the aftershocks of the recent blizzard.
Xu Hongdou suddenly pressed the button on her watch: "Activate rain mode!"
The sound of machinery whirring echoed from the dome of the examination hall, and artificial clouds gathered thirty meters above. A torrential downpour instantly enveloped the entire area, and the cannons on the water arrow turtle's shell glowed with a ghostly blue light, as rainwater formed a swirling armor of water around it.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Xuan exclaimed, "This is not fair."
"Hehe, there's nothing unfair about it. This is for your own good, little brother! Blastoise! Hydro Pump!"
Two jets of water, compressed to their maximum, tore through the rain curtain, and the ultra-high-speed water flow cut the raindrops in its path into mist.
"Boom!!" The spot where the Röntgen Cat had been standing was blasted into a two-meter-deep crater, and the reinforced concrete crumbled into dust like a biscuit.
Zhao Xuan's pupils contracted sharply, and then he ordered, "Conduct electricity with the water!"
"Roar!!" Roentgenie roared and leaped into the water stream created by Blastoise, its golden fur standing on end in the rain.
A violent current spread along the water on the ground, instantly turning the entire area into a pool of lightning. Amid Blastoise's screams, a 100,000-volt golden lightning bolt burrowed into its body through the cannon barrel on its carapace.
"Now! Use the Freeze Beam to block the way!" Xu Hongdou's command rang out at that moment.
The Blastoise, which was convulsing, suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a beam of icy blue light, instantly freezing the rain-soaked ground into a smooth, mirror-like layer of ice. The instant X-Ray's claws slipped on the ice, a second high-pressure water cannon blasted towards its face.
"Crazy Volt!"
At the critical moment, Roentgen the Cat erupted with lightning as dazzling as the sun. The explosion from the collision of golden plasma and high-pressure water cannons blew away all the paving stones on the field, and the broken concrete blocks were melted into crimson magma by the subsequent electric current, which then sizzled as it was drenched by the torrential rain.
Xu Hongdou suddenly revealed a sly smile: "You've fallen for my trap."
Blastoise had somehow already submerged beneath the ice, its carapace cannon bursting forth from directly beneath X-Rayet Cat. The ultra-close-range water cannon, carrying shards of ice, traced a deadly arc through the rain.
"Electromagnetic levitation!"
Amid Zhao Xuan's roar, a ring-shaped electromagnetic field suddenly erupted around the Röntgen Cat.
The water cannon, about to hit, was strangely twisted and deflected by the magnetic field, grazing Xeno'jiiva's back and blasting a spiderweb-like crack in the protective shield behind it. Meanwhile, Xeno'jiiva, adjusting its posture with the help of gravity, had already condensed a lightning ball with a diameter of two meters on its fangs.
"thunder!!"
Amidst deafening thunder, a towering pillar of lightning pierced through the artificial clouds.
The superconducting lightning, having absorbed all the rainwater, struck Blastoise precisely, the dazzling flash causing all the monitoring screens to overexpose instantly. When people regained their vision, they saw blue arcs of electricity dancing on Blastoise's carapace, while X-Rayet Cat was crushing the last wisp of lightning between its fangs.
Xu Hongdou looked at the smoking battlefield and suddenly chuckled, "Now I'm going to get serious."
Zhao Xuan didn't pay any attention to these words.
The torrential rain intensified amidst the thunderstorm, causing X-Rayet's fur to stand on end, and golden-blue electrical currents wove a giant web of lightning within the rain. Suddenly, the scorch marks on Blastoise's carapace glowed with an eerie blue light, and its three cannons began to draw water from the air in reverse.
"Freeze Beam - Modified!" Xu Hongdou's command instantly froze the torrential rain into icicles.
The water-ball turtle shell erupted with an extremely cold torrent, and countless ice crystals reorganized into a prism matrix in the electromagnetic field. The ultra-low temperature beam was refracted tens of thousands of times, transforming into an icy cage that enveloped the entire area.
Just as ice formed on the Röntgen's hind legs, Zhao Xuan's roar echoed through the sky: "Million Volts!!"
The Röntgen's eyes turned a fiery white, and its internal energy storage organs operated at overload. Years of accumulated electrical energy were activated layer by layer from the tip of its tail to its mane, with each hair bursting with tiny lightning bolts.
The moment the ice cage shrank to a range of three meters, the lightning that had been accumulated to its limit transformed into a towering pillar of light and exploded with a roar.
"Crack!"
The ice crystal matrix formed by the freezing ray shattered under the impact of tens of millions of volts, and the refracted seven-colored aurora became a deadly threat. The decomposed ice shards accelerated to subsonic speed in the electromagnetic field, transforming into a rain of needles that attacked both sides.
"Roar!!" Blastoise suddenly stood upright, using its abdominal shell to protect its trainer. Xeno'jiiva, however, leaped into the air against the metallic storm, its plasma trail stretching a kilometer long in the rain.
The moment the icicle pierced the left abdomen of the Röntgen cat, it finally completed its final energy storage.
The lightning-fast teeth, propelled by the force of its fall, precisely bit into the energy conduit in the center of the water slug's carapace. Superconducting currents flowed through the liquid water element, striking the core directly, shattering the energy balance between ice and fire.
"boom--!!!"
A blue and white energy storm shot into the sky, shattering the protective dome of the examination hall.
When the smoke cleared, the charred Blastoise lay on its back in the icy water, wisps of smoke rising from the cracks in its shell.
The Röntgen cat staggered to its feet from the lava pit, its frozen right paw vaporizing in the intense heat, yet it still managed to support itself on its three legs, refusing to fall.
Chapter 224 Corviknight vs. Starhawk!
Upon seeing this, a glint of light flashed in Zhao Xuan's eyes.
"Röntgen Cat, come back. Thank you for your hard work," Zhao Xuan said, recalling Röntgen Cat.
Don't be fooled by Xeno'jiiva's pitiful appearance; it's all an act. Otherwise, with Xeno'jiiva's peak gym strength, beating Blastoise would be like a grandfather beating his grandson.
This was something Zhao Xuan had already instructed us to do.
"Steel Crow, the rest is up to you."
Seeing that Xu Hongdou had recalled Blastoise, he threw out Corviknight's Poké Ball.
"Clang!!" The moment the Steel-Armored Raven flapped its wings, the air suddenly erupted with a sharp, metallic shriek.
Its dark blue wings suddenly unfurled, their edges reflecting a chilling light, like two giant axes cleaving through the smoke of battle.
The sand and gravel on the ground trembled and swayed in the spiraling airflow stirred up by the hurricane, and the entire space echoed with the hum of clashing steel.
"Caw!!" The giant iron-feathered bird, nearly five meters tall, raised its head and cried out, its scarlet eyes shimmering with a liquid metal-like light.
Every feather on it vibrated at a high frequency, cutting the afternoon sunlight into tiny starlight. Suddenly, cries of pain rose and fell among the audience—some people hurriedly raised their arms to shield their eyes from the blinding light.
Even more bizarrely, as the Steel Raven flapped its wings, the metal fence at the edge of the arena began to resonate and tremble, as if bowing down to this steel monarch.
Upon seeing this, Xu Hongdou's pupils constricted sharply. She hadn't expected Zhao Xuan's Steel Armored Raven to become increasingly terrifying, even surpassing the Roentgenrakili from before.
As expected of a starter Pokémon, it possesses endless possibilities.
In this world, the starter Pokémon are the most special.
The initial Pokémon depends not only on the Pokémon itself, but also on the trainer.
"Since that's the case, I'll also release one that can fly," Xu Hongdou said, taking out a Poké Ball from her storage box and tossing it upwards.
With a "bang," a Muckea with a wingspan of about three meters appeared in the arena.
Its sharp eyes, razor-sharp claws, and even sharper beak, along with its fan-shaped tail feathers, give it a distinctive eagle-like appearance.
The spots on its chest disappeared, turning into a black shape resembling the letter M.
The white part of its abdomen extends downwards, forming an inverted triangle shape. Its most distinctive feature is the crest-like feathers on its head, with the back part (ccec) being black and the front part being red.
"Screech!!" The Starhawk looked at the Steel Crow, which was more than twice its size, without any fear. On the contrary, it was full of fighting spirit, and its cry was full of provocation.
"Caw!!" The Steel-Armored Raven stared at the provocative little creature, its fierce aura spreading like a tide, its blood-red eyes like those of a demon.
"The second assessment begins!!"
As the mechanical sounds resumed, Xu Hongdou once again preemptively gave the order.
"Air Slash shatters its vision!" Xu Hongdou's command tore through the strong wind. The Mk Eagle's wings suddenly folded and shot straight into the sky like an arrow, its wingtips trailing dozens of crescent-shaped air blades, completely blocking all of the Steel Armored Raven's escape routes.
Zhao Xuan didn't care when he saw this. This Staraptor was only at the early stage of the Gym Leader training. If it weren't for the fact that it was hiding its strength, Corviknight could have defeated it with one blow. He sneered and said, "Iron Wall."
"Buzz buzz buzz!!" The metallic feathers of the Steel-Armored Raven suddenly vibrated at a high frequency, exploding into a ring of silver-gray energy.
"Clang! Clang!!" The moment the air blade collided with the energy ring, it sparked blindingly bright sparks. The audience in the stands raised their hands to shield their eyes—the sharp sound of metal rubbing against metal even caused the screws on the front seats to loosen and fall off!
"Now, Brave Bird!" Xu Hongdou suddenly changed tactics.
"Screech!!" The Starhawk, which had been hovering in the air, was engulfed in indigo flames and swooped down like a comet. The flames broke through the Steelraven's defense the instant its iron wall dissipated, and its beak aimed straight for its opponent's left wing joint.
"clang--!"
At the critical moment, the Steel-Armored Raven suddenly turned to the side, using its breastplate to take the fatal blow head-on. Amidst the teeth-grinding metallic creak, a half-inch-deep dent appeared on its chest, but its scarlet pupils blazed with a bloodthirsty light.
"That's exactly what I've been waiting for—for you to get close!" Zhao Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Pounce!"
Suddenly, dark red energy emanated from the Steel-Armored Raven's claws, and the Starhawk, still carrying the momentum of its dive, was gripped by its iron-like talons around the neck.
A gasp erupted from the audience—the five-meter-tall steel behemoth was grabbing its opponent and climbing vertically, its dark blue wings slicing through the clouds and scattering metal fragments like a rain of knives in the sunlight!
Xu Hongdou's expression changed drastically: "Use Feather Perch!"
