Pokemon: Daily Intelligence Updates

A loud bang was heard, and a hole was instantly punched through the target.

However, the target quickly recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This guy's strength is pretty good."

"Ordinary Hitmonlees can't blast through a target like that."

"It seems Xia Mu is sincerely trying to promote this Hitmonlee."

"But look, after using the skill, Hitmonlee's breathing is already a little labored. It's only been a few skills; could there be something wrong with Hitmonlee's body?"

Seeing someone questioning Hitmonlee's stamina, Xia Mu quickly said, "There's nothing wrong with this Hitmonlee. It's just that its previous trainer often didn't feed it enough, so it's a little weak."

"As long as you take it back and train it properly, Hitmonlee will naturally recover."

"I can guarantee to everyone that if anything happens to Hitmonlee, you can come to my Fangyuan Breeding House for treatment."

"I won't let the trainers who adopt Hitmonlee have any worries."

"Of course, I have three requirements for Hitmonlee's trainer; only those who meet the conditions can sign up."

"First, you can't abuse Hitmonlee. Everyone knows what happened to Wang Dazhuang."

"Second, it's best to be a Fighting-type trainer, but if Hitmonlee likes you, it doesn't matter if you're not a Fighting-type."

"Third, Hitmonlee must choose its own trainer. No one can interfere with this; it's a matter of principle."

Upon hearing Xia Mu's words, the netizens in the live broadcast room were overjoyed.

Xia Mu's conditions were practically no conditions at all; most online netizens met the requirements.

"Master Xia, how should we sign up?"

Someone suddenly said in the comments.

"You can come directly to the Jiaying City Breeding Farm; the deadline is three days from now."

"I'll let the staff know in advance to have everyone wait for interviews in the breeding farm's internal conference room."

"Please rest assured, everyone, that even if Hitmonlee doesn't choose you, don't be discouraged. There are many other excellent Pokémon to choose from inside the breeding farm."

The Pokémon in the breeding farm come from various sources: some are from the wild, Pokémon that trainers caught casually.

Some are stray Pokémon.

And some are Pokémon whose trainers have committed crimes and been sentenced to lifetime revocation of their trainer资格.

"Alright, the announcement is over, and I should end the live broadcast now."

"See you all tomorrow."

Having achieved his goal, Xia Mu ended the live broadcast without any sentimentality, simply turning his back on them.

With some free time, Xia Mu decided to check on the training status of his own Pokémon.

The provincial Little Ho-Oh Cup was about to begin, and he needed to know how strong his Pokémon were currently.

Xia Mu had to continue to maintain a high profile in order to obtain more resources, so that he could afford to raise more Pokémon and achieve a virtuous cycle.

He summoned all his Pokémon.

Houndour looked a bit silly, opening its mouth, sticking out its tongue, and curiously watching Xia Mu while sitting on the ground.

"Shellder, please be Houndour's opponent."

Xia Mu said to Shellder.

"But you can't attack proactively; you have to block Houndour's attacks."

Houndour looked at Shellder, eager to try.

As a senior member of the breeding house, it had long wanted to have an in-depth exchange with Shellder.

However, Xia Mu had always advocated for team unity and didn't allow internal conflicts, so it had always been minor squabbles.

Since Xia Mu asked it to attack with all its strength, then it wouldn't be polite.

Shellder, accept Houndour's thunderous blow!

Houndour's flames had a burst characteristic; once they hit a target, they would explode violently.

It immediately opened its dark mouth.

Flames danced in Houndour's mouth, pouring out like flying fireflies.

Shellder saw the sky full of fireflies rushing towards it.

It immediately used Whirlpool.

Having absorbed the power of the Water Crystal, Shellder's strength was extraordinary, and white water flowed into the sky.

It felt like the Second Hokage using Water Release.

Water Release: Water Formation Wall.

With a hissing sound, the fireflies were blocked by the water tornado.

Seeing this, Houndour didn't stop attacking; instead, it took a deep breath and spat out a scorching fireball the size of a basketball from its mouth.

The fireball landed directly in the water tornado, and a loud bang was heard.

The water tornado was blown apart, and white water scattered everywhere; the Pokémon watching the battle turned into drenched chickens.

Xia Mu was drenched from head to toe, his body and hair full of water. He wiped the water from his face, a slightly excited smile on his face.

"Not bad power."

A large amount of water was evaporated by the fireball, and white steam spread out, making it impossible to see your fingers.

Pichu blinked its eyes, restraining its impulse so that it didn't release its electric current.

Otherwise, none of the Pokémon present, except Mudkip, would be able to escape its electric attack.

Houndour's nose was exceptionally sensitive; even if it was blocked by the white mist, it could know the direction of Shellder through its sense of smell.

However, what Houndour didn't know was that when the water mist spread out, the entire battlefield was under Shellder's perception.

Shellder had an extremely outstanding affinity for Water-type.

A large amount of flame emerged from Houndour's body, blocking the water vapor outside its body.

At this time, Houndour was like a towering pillar of fire.

It looked fiercely at Shellder.

Smokescreen Charge.

This was a skill Houndour learned from Infernape.

Sensing Houndour charging towards its direction, Shellder immediately conjured a clone, while it used Water Gun to fly silently into the air.

It smiled sinisterly at the corner of its mouth. If Houndour couldn't recognize its true body, then don't blame it for squirting you with Water Gun.

A figure wrapped in flames broke through the thick fog like a sharp sword unsheathed.

Houndour's pupils saw Shellder's 'extremely terrified' expression.

Won, definitely won.

Houndour rushed towards Shellder, the flames on its body soaring into the sky.

Just then, Houndour suddenly discovered that Shellder's body had dissipated like a bubble.

Oh no, careless.

A trace of panic appeared in Houndour's eyes.

At this time, a Water Gun fell from the sky, blasting Houndour away.

Houndour turned its head in mid-air, its whole body wet.

Good fellow, Shellder was stronger than imagined, truly worthy of being the opponent it had been looking forward to for a long time.

Houndour's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and all the cells in its body were clamoring that this was the opponent it had been looking forward to for a long time.

Black airflow emerged from Houndour's body, and a large amount of water vapor emerged from Houndour's body.

The originally water-soaked fur instantly dried.

"Houndour is getting serious, but Shellder is not weak either."

Xia Mu felt that Houndour's eyes had changed.

Just now, it was just a small probe between the two sides, but now Houndour was really serious.

It used Nasty Plot, enhancing its special attack skills.

Houndour's momentum suddenly increased, and it looked at Shellder with arrow-like eyes.

Get out of the way, it's going to start showing off!

"Shellder, if you really can't dodge, you can use Water-type skills to counterattack."

"This is not a battle to the death, just a slight exchange of blows, there is no need to fight to the death."

Xia Mu issued a new instruction, and Shellder's eyes lit up after hearing the instruction.

Houndour had a people-pleasing personality, and once it entered a state of battle, it was difficult to get out.

Unless it could defeat its opponent, otherwise it could only wait until Houndour entered a state of exhaustion.

Raging flames spread out, and at this time, Houndour was like a pillar of fire soaring into the sky.

Its eyes stared at Shellder hovering in the air, and the originally ruthless Houndour became even more ferocious.

Black airflow spread out from Houndour's body.

Black flames emerged, it was like Cerberus crawling out of hell.

Its limbs slammed hard, turning into a black streamer and rushing out.

Wherever it passed, black flames burned on the ground, forming black flames.

At this time, Water Ring appeared on Shellder's body.

At the same time, the tornado connected to the sky appeared again.

Shellder finally became serious, forming triple protection.

The first layer was a water tornado, the second layer was a Water Gun, and the third layer was a Water Ring.

As long as the three layers of defense were not breached, Shellder would not suffer fatal damage.

Shellder could also move quickly in the water tornado without resistance.

"Shellder, precise shooting."

Xia Mu continued to issue instructions, he could feel that Houndour's speed was much faster, in order to verify his thoughts, he let Shellder attack.

Shellder suddenly spewed a turbulent stream of water from its mouth.

The water flow turned into thousands of strands of thin streams in mid-air, but Houndour completely avoided Shellder's attack.

In the blink of an eye, Houndour came to a place not far from Shellder.

The firelight danced in the throat, Shellder predicted that Houndour's move was extraordinary.

It once again spewed a compressed black fireball from its mouth.

The black fireball rushed into the water tornado like an arrow from the string.

Only a loud bang was heard, and the huge water tornado exploded.

Shellder's triple protection failed at the same time.

When the smoke cleared, Houndour's claws had landed on Shellder's body.

Shellder looked gray-faced, but it was not hurt.

Instead, Shellder used the Water Ring skill on Houndour.

The two Pokémon recovered peacefully together.

This battle made Houndour feel good, and also let Xia Mu see Houndour's overall strength.

Houndour was now level twenty-three, and was about to evolve.

The evolved Houndour also needed some time to adapt to its evolved body.

Therefore, Xia Mu planned to let Houndour evolve before the provincial competition.

The second even
