Chapter 791 Da Ye: Bad luck! Bad luck! Bad luck!
A-Liu stood at the entrance to the mountain road, looking calmly at Li Shuwen. "Mr. Shuwen, I've decided to give you the chance to challenge the first-place candidate first."
"After the battle just now, I realized that I still need to calm down. Right now, even if I were to force myself to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings, I would most likely lose."
Gellert walked over from the side and waved his hand. "That guy at the top of the OK list doesn't have anything worth learning; he's just good at Pokémon."
"The OK list is full of young people who like to compare battle power. They know how to train Pokémon, but they don't know why."
"If you want to learn skills and gain experience, you still have to visit experienced professionals."
Li Shuwen nodded and patted A-Liu on the shoulder. "A-Liu, go challenge the Four Heavenly Kings. Don't be afraid of losing the battle."
"Only after fighting against the Four Heavenly Kings can you know your shortcomings and the direction for improvement."
A-Liu nodded excitedly. "Yes, I will not let Mr. Shuwen down."
Over the next seven days, Gellert took Li Shuwen to visit more than a dozen veteran trainers in the mountains.
Each character specializes in a particular attribute, and each possesses a unique skill.
On the first day, I visited an old woman who was associated with the grass element.
Her Venusaur can compress Solar Beam to the size of a fist, but its power is three times greater than that of a regular Solar Beam.
The key to compression lies in the way photosynthesis stores energy: not by absorbing sunlight, but by absorbing the life energy within sunlight.
Li Shuwen's Viper Salamander is useless, but Fairy Elf's Magic Dazzle can be used as a reference.
The next day, I visited an old fisherman who was associated with the water element.
His Vaporeon can mix ice-type energy into its water cannon, freezing the water jet upon impact.
The freezing water cannon can both impact and imprison.
Golden Gyarados's Hydro Pump is powerful enough, but it lacks variety, and this technique can make up for that.
Day 3, Electricity.
A retired gym leader's Magneton can use its magnetic field to distort the trajectory of its opponent's attack projectiles, not to block them, but to deflect them.
Millerton's control over current is already excellent, and with the addition of magnetic field deflection, he can save a lot of energy on the defensive end.
Day 4, Poison attribute.
An old man wearing a gas mask used his poisonous skeletal frog to compress venom into needles, which he shot out silently, leaving the victim unaware of the poison.
Li Shuwen's Poison Skull Frog's venom impact is powerful enough, but too obvious; the poison needles perfectly compensate for its stealth.
Day 5, normal attributes.
A traveler carrying a huge backpack, whose Noisy Dragon can unleash a barrage of Hyper Beams, using the recoil from the explosions to counteract the Hyper Beam's recoil.
Li Shuwen's Abandoned Monkey is useless, but it can make the Dragon Wave of the Violent Salamander more coherent.
Day 6, superpower attribute.
An old nun who practices meditation in an underground cave with her eyes closed, her Espeon can condense Psychic into threads that wrap around the opponent's limbs, restricting their movement.
Gengar's Shadow Ball and Phantom Assault, combined with Psychic Threads, greatly enhance its control.
Day 7, Fighting attribute.
A burly man practicing martial arts under a waterfall possesses superhuman strength, which allows him to project the true energy of his True Qi Fist into a shield, enabling him to both attack and defend.
Li Shuwen learned Kommo-o and Blaziken.
A true qi shield can change the course of the battlefield at crucial moments.
Of course, what's more important is the technique of gathering and controlling true energy shown here.
Not to mention Pokémon, even Li Shuwen learned a lot.
This senior's value may be less than one percent of Li Shuwen's.
However, his self-control is quite excellent.
In seven days, Li Shuxue learned more than a dozen very valuable expert techniques.
It is indeed quite specialized; some of the knowledge can be used directly, but most of it requires time to digest, and some is just the beginning.
But each of these things gave Li Shuwen's Pokémon an extra trump card.
Gellert asked, "Shuwen, what are your thoughts on these older generations?"
Li Shuwen thought for a moment, "Everyone really loves Pokémon, which is why they were able to design such professional techniques."
On his way down the mountain, Li Shuwen ran into A Liu.
A-Liu had just returned from the Hall of the Four Heavenly Kings. She looked tired, but not dejected.
Upon seeing Li Shuwen, they immediately greeted him warmly.
"Mr. Shuwen, I challenged Da Ye. Although I lost the match, I certainly learned a lot."
"I know which direction to take. I'm going to train my Pokémon and challenge Bigleaf again in a month."
Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. "Da Ye? After the last Masters Tournament, he defeated Hardy so quickly and returned to the top four?"
A-Liu nodded. "Mr. Da-Ye's Infernape is stronger than before. The side effects of Flare Blitz are almost zero, and the power of Blaze mode is also several times greater than before."
In the Four Heavenly Kings Hall, Daiya and Denji were sitting in the lounge area drinking champagne.
The two chatted and laughed happily, and there were several small dishes on the table.
Da Ye took a sip of champagne, his eyes filled with smugness. "Tomorrow, I'll continue my push for higher ranks. First, I'll defeat Wu Song, then challenge Li Dazhuang."
"Just you wait and see, I might just defeat Kikuno in one go and become the number one of the Four Heavenly Kings!"
Denji nodded. "With your current strength, there's a high chance you can defeat Gosho."
"Infernape has completely mastered its Blazing Inferno state; Wusong's Bronze Bell probably won't be able to stop it."
Just as Da Ye was about to speak, a staff member rushed in in a panic, almost tripping over the threshold.
"Big Brother Ye, something terrible has happened! Master Li Shuwen has come to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings!"
Da Ye nearly dropped the champagne glass in his hand, and his expression changed instantly.
"Wait, why today of all days? Couldn't he wait until I defeat Wusong tomorrow before coming? My luck is just too bad!"
Denji's lips curled slightly upwards, a half-smile playing on his lips. "Looks like luck isn't on your side."
Da Ye is out of ideas. If he fights today, he'll be the one kicked out of the Four Heavenly Kings. If he fights tomorrow, Wu Song will be the one kicked out.
A single day can make all the difference between heaven and hell.
Heaven and hell—Da Ye had no choice but to be chosen; he was destined to be chosen.
When Li Shuwen walked into the battlefield, Da Ye and Dian Ci were already waiting on the sidelines.
Da Ye's expression was complex, showing helplessness, nervousness, and a hint of eagerness.
Dian nodded to Li Shuwen, and Li Shuwen nodded in response.
"Shuwen, Daye was just drinking champagne to celebrate defeating Wusong tomorrow."
Denji laughed and said, "But as soon as you arrived, his dream was shattered."
Li Shuwen looked at Da Ye. "I believe Da Ye can fight back."
Da Ye gave a wry smile. "You certainly know how to talk. Come on, let me see how much you've improved during this time."
Li Shuwen nodded.
Da Ye took a deep breath and threw the Poké Ball.
"Infernape, Round 1!"
A flash of white light, and Infernape landed on the ground, flames leaping from its tail.
Infernape has sharp eyes, clearly defined muscles all over its body, and slightly clenched fists.
Li Shuwen raised his hand and threw out the Poké Ball.
The Staff-tailed Armored Dragon emerged from the white light, its scales gleaming with a metallic sheen under the lamplight.
He looked at Infernape with a calm, still gaze.
"Infernape, Bullet Punch!"
Da Ye gave the order first.
Infernape vanished from its spot, so fast that it left only a blur behind it, its right fist already poised to strike Kommo-o's chest.
"Iron Wall".
The scales of the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon gleamed with a metallic sheen.
The bullet punch landed on his chest with a dull thud, but the staff-tailed scaled dragon remained completely still.
His right claw glowed with a ghostly purple light as he reached out to grab the Infernape.
Infernape dodged to the side and unleashed another Bullet Punch.
Their fists and claws collided with a loud bang, and both Pokémon were forced backward at the same time.
"Flash Charge!"
Da Ye's voice rose in pitch.
Infernape's body burst into golden-red flames, transforming into a shooting star as it hurtled towards Kommo-o.
Flare Blitz is fast, powerful, and can cause an explosion, disrupting Kommo-o's rhythm and giving you an opportunity to switch Pokémon.
Li Shuwen saw through Da Ye's thoughts.
A deep blue light shone in his eyes, and wave power surged forth like a tide.
"Iron scales shatter with a deafening roar, battle spirits howl as space and time tremble, using this power to pierce through the stars—Blazing Soul Dance, a fierce sonic boom!"
The scales of the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon exploded, releasing rings of purple sonic waves that coalesced around it into a giant purple dragon. The dragon's roar shook the ceiling of the battlefield.
A golden meteor collided with a purple dragon.
boom--!!!
The explosion engulfed the entire area. Infernape was thrown backward from the blast, crashing to the ground, its body charred black, the flames on its body flickering intermittently.
Infernape struggled to get up, but the power of the Blazing Soul Dance Sonic Boom was too great, and its body had exceeded its limits.
The Infernape lay on the ground, closing its eyes in resentment.
Da Ye gritted his teeth.
He saw through my plan to trigger an explosion and switch Pokémon. Although I traded away Blazing Soul, Dazzling Dance, and Sonic Boom, I suffered a huge loss.
He recalled Infernape, remained silent for a moment, and then threw out a second Poké Ball.
"The wind-following ball is yours now."
The Wind Ball emerged from the white light, its round body floating lightly in the air.
"Dragon Pulse!"
A dazzling cyan energy ball shot out rapidly.
The ball rotated urgently with the wind.
It released a thick, strange purple wind, barely managing to detonate before the dragon's energy surged towards it.
Li Shuwen recalled Kommo-o and threw out the second Poké Ball.
"Millerton".
Millerton burst out of the white light, purple electricity leaping across his body as he hovered in mid-air.
"Dragon's Wave," Li Shuwen commanded.
Milton opened his mouth, and a purple dragon wave blasted towards the Wind Orb.
"Shadowball, block it," Big Leaf ordered.
With his hands clasped together in front of his chest, a jet-black shadow orb met the Dragon Pulse.
boom!
The two attacks collided, creating a cloud of smoke.
"Lightning Strike," Li Shuwen said calmly.
Milton's body lit up with blue and white lightning, transforming into a bolt of lightning that crashed into the Wind Ball.
Snapped!
The lightning bolt struck the wind-borne ball squarely.
The Wind Ball did not dodge; its body began to expand rapidly, emitting a blinding white light.
big Bang!
boom--!!!
This explosion was even more violent than the previous one.
Millerton was blasted backward, his body charred black, and he rolled twice on the ground in a sorry state.
Millerton got up, his body throbbing with electricity, and he was covered in dust.
Milton's eyes narrowed, and his tail began to swirl, intense electric light surging at the tip.
Dianci frowned. "The big explosion at Big Leaf has angered Milnerton. He was bombed at the Masters last time, and now he's been bombed again. Naturally, Milnerton is furious."
Da Ye gave a wry smile. "There's no other way. If we don't blast it, we won't even have a chance to catch our breath."
He took a deep breath and threw the third Poké Ball. "Steelcore, please!"
The giant steel snake emerged from the white light, its massive steel body coiled on the field, its armor gleaming coldly under the lights.
Li Shuwen did not switch Pokémon. "Charge."
Milton's body crackled with golden electricity, and his aura surged.
"Cannon beam!" Big Leaf ordered.
The giant steel snake opened its mouth, and a silvery-white metallic beam shot towards Millerton.
Millerton twisted his body, and the beam of light grazed past his tail.
Milton was too fast, so fast that the Cannon couldn't catch up. His figure drew a silver arc in the air and circled behind Steelix.
Lightning surged, coalescing into a dense golden current behind him.
"It burned out completely," Li Shuwen said.
Milton opened its mouth, and a blazing pillar of fire shot out from it.
The pillar of fire was extremely hot, turning Steelix's steel armor glowing red-hot.
The giant steel snake hissed in pain, its body trembling, almost losing its balance.
Millerton rushed forward and bit into it.
Dark energy shone from its jaws as it bit down on the Steelix's neck.
The giant steel snake's eyes suddenly widened, then slowly closed, and its massive body crashed to the ground.
Da Ye clenched his fist. "When did his Milton learn to burn to ashes? And how come his Crushing Blow is so powerful?"
"How much has he actually improved during this period?"
Dianci clenched his fist, realizing that it was indeed difficult to compare development speed with Midas.
Da Ye recalled his Steelix and threw out the fourth Poké Ball.
"Long-eared rabbit, it's all yours now."
The long-eared rabbit emerged from the white light, with long ears and long, powerful legs.
Landing on the ground, toes lightly touching the ground, ready to explode at any moment.
"Lightning beam!" Li Shuwen ordered.
Milton opened his mouth, and a blue-silver bolt of lightning shot towards the long-eared rabbit like a laser, so fast that it was almost impossible to see with the naked eye.
The long-eared rabbit's body lit up with a white light—it was a flash of lightning!
The moment the lightning struck him, his figure vanished from the spot.
The electric beam struck the ground behind it, blasting a large crater.
The long-eared rabbit appeared in another corner of the field, completely unharmed.
Li Shuwen was somewhat surprised. "The long-eared rabbit's reaction speed is much faster than before."
Da Ye smiled and said, "You're not the only one who's improved during this time."
"Freeze Ray," Big Leaf ordered.
The long-eared rabbit opened its mouth, and an ice-blue beam of light shot towards Millerton.
Milton was faster; its silhouette drew an arc in the air, dodging the freezing ray, and appeared in front of the long-eared rabbit.
A powerful lightning strike occurred, and blue-white electric light condensed on its body surface.
The long-eared rabbit tried to dodge, but Milton was too fast.
The bolt of lightning slammed into the long-eared rabbit, sending it flying.
The long-eared rabbit rolled around on the ground a few times before getting up.
Its body trembled slightly, and golden lightning crackled through the long-eared rabbit's fur.
She unfortunately became paralyzed.
Da Ye took a deep breath. "Damn it, damn it, damn it."
He looked at Li Shuwen and smiled wryly. "Your Millerton is much faster and stronger than before."
"My long-eared rabbit didn't even have time to react."
Li Shuwen reclaimed Milerton.
Switch directly to Blaziken.
"You're not bad either. Infernape's Blaze control, the timing of the Tayrule's explosion, Steelix's Defense, and Lopunny's Speed—each of them is much stronger than they were in the Masters."
Da Ye waved her hand. "Don't try to comfort me. This is the first time I've ever been suppressed like this."
"But! I won't give up so easily!"
"Long-eared rabbit, can you continue fighting?"
