Pokemon: Daily Intelligence Updates

They arrived at the exit of the ruins.

Trainers from the Pokémon Trainer's Guild hurriedly arrived.

However, to avoid being questioned, Xia Mu told the trainers from the Pokémon Guild that he had been wandering around nearby, never daring to enter.

One of the trainers immediately glanced at him with disdain, a hint of sarcasm in their eyes.

He seemed to be mocking Xia Mu's timidity.

“Now that you're here, that's great. I still need to participate in the Chansey Cup, so I'll take my leave for now,” Xia Mu said to the two trainers.

“Hey.”

The routine inspection hadn't been done yet.

One of the trainers was about to reach out to stop Xia Mu, but was firmly grabbed on the arm by the person next to him.

“No need for a routine inspection. My Girafarig already used Psychic to scan his entire body and confirmed that he wasn't carrying any contraband.”

“Besides, even if he were carrying contraband, according to Yan Huang's laws, it wouldn't be illegal.”

“Trainers have priority exploration rights in the wild.”

“Let's organize our forces and explore these ruins first.”

“Newly discovered ruins are like treasure troves; you can find many treasures just by casually searching.”

After these people entered the ruins, they discovered groups of Cofagrigus surging out like a tide.

“Not good, the Pokémon in the ruins are starting to revive, let's run!”

When the Cofagrigus rushed out of the ruins, the main force of the Pokémon Guild arrived near the entrance.

The butler greeted the old master Long Xiao.

The Long family also sent a team, wanting to get a piece of the pie.

All forces began to mobilize.

At this time, Xia Mu had already arrived at the location of the Chansey Cup organizing committee.

After announcing his name, Xia Mu was led to a seat.

He received an entry form, with some information that needed his confirmation.

After confirming his information, Xia Mu was informed that the Chansey Cup would be held at the Yangcheng Gymnasium within a week after the Little Phoenix King Cup concluded.

Great, this means I won't be able to go home for almost another month.

Fortunately, the breeding center business is temporarily closed, otherwise I would have lost money again.

That's how it is with running a breeding center: equipment costs money, the venue costs money, and the Pokémon's breeding fees and food costs all cost money.

Adding all these costs together is not a small amount.

Moreover, breeding centers don't get paid regularly, so you have to plan ahead to make reasonable arrangements.

This way, the breeding center's cash flow won't be short.

After Xia Mu returned from the Chansey Cup organizing committee, he rested for another day, and the final began.

The competition venue was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

This was the decisive battle for the championship, so viewers started sitting in front of their televisions early in the morning to watch.

“The level of competition for the Yan Dong Province championship this year is very high.”

“Xia Mu and Li Yao have both bulldozed their way through, with basically no opponents.”

Xia Mu looked at the stunningly talented girl across from him.

“Okay, for the final match, we have Li Yao from Yangcheng First High School versus Xia Mu from Shenshan Middle School.”

“Li Yao is a disciple of Master Yang Zao, the gym leader of the Yangcheng Gym, known as the King of the Forest.”

“And Xia Mu has emerged victorious in both the Little Phoenix King Cup and the Chansey Cup; his strength is very powerful.”

“Now, listen to my instructions.”

Release your Pokémon!

【Pokémon Name: Drifblim】

【Gender: Male】

【Aptitude: Green Aptitude】

【Ability: Aftermath】

【Level: 32】

【Type: Ghost + Flying】

【Skills: Self-Destruct (Mastered), Explosion (Mastered), Double Team (Mastered), Shadow Sneak (Mastered), Phantom Force (Mastered), Hurricane (Mastered), Growl (Mastered), Air Cutter (Mastered), Wing Attack (Mastered), Steel Wing (Mastered), Tailwind (Mastered), Whirlwind (Mastered), Peck (Mastered), Agility (Mastered)】

【Evaluation: This is a Self-Destruct Pokémon. It excels at creating indistinguishable clones. Its strength is very high.】

This massive, giant-like Drifblim appeared on the battlefield.

And the Pokémon that Xia Mu released this round was Cloyster.

“There it is! Li Yao has released Drifblim, and Xia Mu has released Cloyster.”

“One is a Ghost-type Pokémon, and the other is a Water-type Pokémon. Who will be the victor?”

“The 65th Yan Dong Province Little Phoenix King Cup tournament, the championship battle, officially begins! I am your host, Xiao Ni.”

Xiao Ni used a loud voice to ignite the prelude to the match.

The crowd roared deafeningly, and the arena instantly became heated.

“Drifblim, use Shadow Sneak.”

Drifblim's huge body turned into countless wisps of black smoke, disappearing into the shadows.

“Cloyster, don't panic, use Rain Dance.”

“Drifblim is hiding in the shadows, and it can only move within the shadows. It won't have any impact on you,” Xia Mu shouted to Cloyster.

Cloyster immediately used the Rain Dance skill.

A drizzle of rain fell from the sky, landing on the ground.

A large amount of rain poured down, pattering all over the place.

Layers of rain became Cloyster's eyes, detecting every move around it.

“Crap, the tactic was wrong. Xia Mu took the initiative,” Li Yao thought.

Drifblim's most powerful method is Self-Destruct.

But in a humid environment, Drifblim simply cannot complete this action.

So, Cloyster essentially cut off Drifblim's most important attack method.

“Cloyster, use Water Gun.”

Xia Mu continued to issue instructions. In fact, Cloyster had quietly created a clone. Under the cover of the heavy rain, Cloyster secretly used Dig, burying its body underground.

At the same time, Cloyster also used Life Dew to confuse Drifblim's senses.

“Drifblim, use multiple Shadow Balls, attack Cloyster.”

Li Yao bit her lip, revealing a slightly annoyed expression.

“It's okay, as long as the Shadow Ball can hit Cloyster, I still have a chance to turn this game around,” she thought.

One wrong step leads to another, which is what happened to Li Yao.

If Drifblim had used Sunny Day at the beginning, maybe Cloyster wouldn't have been able to use Rain Dance so successfully.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs, and no one knows what will happen in the future.

Small Shadow Balls flickered with black arcs, emerging from Cloyster's shadow, about to hit Cloyster.

Drifblim quietly poked its head out, looking at Cloyster with a slightly sneaky expression.

Hit, it has to hit, it must hit!

Drifblim was shouting in its heart.

Only to hear a loud bang.

Countless Shadow Balls slammed into Cloyster's body, creating an exploding sound.

It hit, it really hit, I successfully won this round!

Drifblim's mood at this time was like a boundless, turquoise sky, full of joy.

Even the weather was gradually clearing up, proving that Cloyster had been completely defeated.

However, after the smoke cleared, only a deep hole remained where Cloyster had been standing.

Cloyster had vanished without a trace.

Just then, a beam of white light shot from nearby, completely freezing Drifloon in place.

Once frozen, Drifloon didn't move.

Only its eyes darted around.

"Drifloon."

"Are you alright?"

"Come back quickly."

Just as Li Yao was about to recall Drifloon, a figure blocked the red light from the Poké Ball.

Cloyster coldly glared at Li Yao.

Li Yao seemed to see mockery in Cloyster's eyes.

Thinking you can recall Drifloon? Don't even think about it.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

"Cloyster, Spike Cannon."

Strike while the iron is hot. Since Drifloon was frozen by Cloyster, it was time to act directly.

Countless blinding white lights heavily bombarded Drifloon.

Just as it was about to hit Drifloon, the corners of Li Yao's mouth suddenly curved up slightly.

Not good, Yuanfang, there must be a trick here.

Xia Mu's inner alarm bells rang loudly.

"Drifloon, use Substitute."

Drifloon immediately created a substitute, replacing itself within the ice block.

The Spike Cannon struck the ice block, directly shattering it.

At this moment, Drifloon had completely broken free and floated in the air.

Drifloon's originally pale face regained some color under the sunlight.

"Xia Mu, your Cloyster is excellent, but compared to my Pokémon, there's still a difference."

"My Pokémon are not weaklings."

"Drifloon, use Curse to weaken Cloyster."

A long, black nail suddenly appeared in Drifloon's long hand.

It slammed the nail heavily onto its forehead, as if an invisible hammer drove the nail into Drifloon's brow.

Immediately afterward, countless black energy emanated from Drifloon's body, floating around.

Xia Mu could feel the malice emanating from this black energy.

As long as Cloyster touched some of the black energy, it would be afflicted with the curse.

"Li Yao, you're underestimating my Cloyster."

"Cloyster, Ice Beam."

An icy blue Ice Beam shot out from Cloyster's spikes, like an ice dragon, completely surrounding Drifloon.

From top to bottom, it instantly condensed into a huge ice block.

Then, with the help of gravitational potential energy, Drifloon fell to the ground at an extremely fast speed.

There was a loud crash, and Drifloon slammed into the ground, cracks appearing like a spider web.

Drifloon was covered in thin ice, and an unwilling expression appeared on its face.

But it had no more stamina; it had lost the first round.

Li Yao suffered her first defeat.

However, Xia Mu didn't see any frustration in Li Yao's eyes; instead, her fighting spirit was ignited.

"Very good, Drifloon lost, your Cloyster is impressive."

"However, you won't be so lucky in the next round."

"I'll let you know that women are not inferior to men; I will become this year's champion."

At this time, the host interjected.

"Okay, contestant Li Yao has directly told contestant Xia Mu that she will fight to the end."

"Now let's see what Pokémon contestant Li Yao will send out next."

The two of them simultaneously recalled their Pokémon.

This made Li Yao feel a little unbelievable.

"Xia Mu, your Cloyster clearly has a lot of stamina left, why not let Cloyster continue to battle?"

Li Yao opened her mouth and asked.

At the same time, the third-place match also started in another venue.

However, there were very few spectators present, mostly people who went to the wrong venue and then left.

"I don't like my Pokémon to be overworked."

"Unless there are special circumstances, I will let my Pokémon rest after each battle."

"Don't be like a workaholic; your Pokémon also needs to be checked."

"If you trust me, after the competition, you can go to the Pokémon Center with me to have your Pokémon checked."

Xia Mu also took the opportunity of the provincial broadcast to give everyone a small advertisement.

"Go, Gastrodon, defeat the opponent."

Li Yao immediately released Gastrodon.

This was a red Gastrodon.

[Pokémon Name: Gastrodon]

[Gender: Genderless]

[Potential: Green]

[Ability: Sand Force]

[Level: 30]

[Type: Water + Ground]

[Moves: Rain Dance (Mastered), Earthquake (Proficient), Water Gun (Mastered), Water Pulse (Mastered), Stone Edge (Proficient), Fissure (Proficient), Shadow Ball (Proficient), Aqua Ring (Mastered), Destiny Bond (Proficient)]

[Tutored Moves: Dive (Mastered), Brine (Mastered)]

[Evaluation: This is a domineering Pokémon that roams the rivers. It likes to hide its body in the mud in the river. As long as prey enters its hunting range, it will immediately attack.]

In this round, Xia Mu sent out Ivysaur, which made Li Yao even more unhappy.

Why did she encounter a Pokémon with a type advantage again? Was Xia Mu a worm in her stomach?

How did he know she wanted to send out a Water-type Pokémon?

In fact, Xia Mu only guessed that Li Yao would send out a Water-type Pokémon in the next round.

Just now, Cloyster used Rain Dance, and the entire ground was soaked in water.

So Li Yao would send out a Water-type Pokémon to use the terrain to attack the opponent.

He had observed Li Yao's previous battles and knew that Li Yao did not have any Electric-type Pokémon.

So, after comprehensive consideration, Xia Mu felt that sending out Ivysaur was the most appropriate thing to do.

What he didn't expect was that his opponent sent out a Water + Ground-type Gastrodon.

This guy is four times weak to Grass-type Pokémon.

"Contestant Li Yao, you sent out Gastrodon too hastily."

"If you hadn't sent out Gastrodon, maybe my Ivysaur would have been at a type disadvantage and left here."

A faint smile also began to appear on Xia Mu's lips.

"Gastrodon, use Earthquake."

Gastrodon secretes a mucus that fixes itself to the ground, protecting its safety.

At this moment, the entire ground began to shake violently.

Because of the protection of the mucus, Gastrodon stood firmly on the ground like an old monk.

Even Xia Mu felt that he would have lost his balance if he hadn't been holding onto the railing.

"Gastrodon, continue to use Rock Tomb."

Rocks burst out of the ground, like bamboo shoots after rain, each one a meter high.

"Ivysaur, use Vine Whip on the ground."

Xia Mu shouted loudly.

Ivysaur stretched out sixteen vines and slammed them heavily on the ground, and it flew up.
