Chapter 333: How Can a Sparrow Know the Ambition of a Swan! A Heart Higher Than the Sky!

"Please, Shuaixuanshou Sect's representative Lu Shuai, send out your third Pokémon!"

Lu Shuai kept his head down, offering no response.

"Please, Shuaixuanshou Sect's representative Lu Shuai, send out your final Pokémon to battle!"

Still no response; the crowd could not see his expression.

"What's wrong? Has he been crushed by the blow?"

"Probably. At first he was so confident, talking about letting the junior have a chance, yet he lost both matches and can't save face!"

"Tsk tsk tsk... Those with ability are called show-offs; those without are called idiots!"

"Haha..."

Long Zhan frowned and said, "If this is all the tolerance he has, I think I should reevaluate his value."

Sister Zhuge Ying nodded. "A person with a glass heart cannot go far! It is not terrible to encounter failure; what is terrible is losing oneself and lacking the courage to rise from where one fell."

As he spoke these words, Sister Zhuge Ying glanced at his granddaughter Sun Nu and Long Shaoyun; the meaning was unmistakable!

The referee, growing impatient, urged, "Shuaixuanshou Sect's representative Lu Shuai, if you do not send out your Pokémon soon, I will declare your automatic forfeit!"

A yellow card warning!

"Forfeit?"

Lu Shuai finally raised his head. "How could I possibly forfeit?"

"Although my King has fallen, that does not mean I am finished! I was merely reflecting on myself just now, regretting my underestimation of the opponent and my foolishness in letting the opponent disturb my emotions!"

Lu Shuai looked directly at Bai Jing and said, "I apologize for my arrogance earlier. You are a formidable opponent; I should not have underestimated you!"

Bai Jing curled his lip. What fine words! It was merely an attempt to salvage his image!

"Your attitude toward me doesn't matter. Send out your Pokémon!"

Bai Jing did not mind interpreting others with the utmost malice. What 'learning from pain' or 'mutual appreciation'? None of that existed, and he needed none of it!

"Very well!"

Lu Shuai produced a new Poké Ball and said, "I still have an ace up my sleeve, one I have never shown before anyone..."

The referee interrupted, "Shuaixuanshou Sect's representative Lu Shuai, please hurry!"

Dragging his feet, so annoying! Does he think this match is held at his own home?

Lu Shuai choked up, deeply displeased. Don't you understand the principle that obstructing someone from showing off is like killing their parents?

"Show your form, Zoroark!"

Zoroark

Gender: Male

Type: Dark

Ability: Illusion

Aptitude: Stamina (A), Physical Attack (S), Physical Defense (A), Special Attack (SS), Special Defense (A), Speed (S)

Potential: Champion

Strength: Elite Four (Peak)

Laws: Comprehending...

Bai Jing's eyes widened. What the hell? This guy actually managed to capture such a Pokémon.

Zoroark is rarer than Lucario, and its powerful abilities rival even Legendary Pokémon. Although it is not a Legendary Pokémon, it is not far off.

Most importantly, its potential is actually as high as the Champion level!

At this moment, Bai Jing really wanted to question Sister Zhuge Chaoyue: Who said this pretty boy has bad luck? Could someone with bad luck encounter such a Pokémon? Could someone with bad luck capture such a Pokémon?

Not only was Bai Jing surprised; the entire arena could be said to have boiled over, for this Pokémon exists only in legends, and no one has ever seen it.

Even the two Venerables were greatly surprised, because this Pokémon is too precious, even more precious than a pseudo-Legendary!

Sister Zhuge Ying glanced at Long Zhan. "Why are you surprised? You didn't know either?"

"Mm!"

"It seems the talent you favor is hidden very deeply!"

Long Zhan was noncommittal. "Perhaps he simply wanted to make a stunning debut!"

Sister Zhuge Ying chuckled. "You must thank that child, Bai Jing!"

"Yes. If he had not been forced to this extent, I suppose he would not have revealed this Pokémon!"

Possessing a Pokémon capable of manipulating illusions means there are countless things it can do, so many that one cannot help but be wary!

Don't understand? Just refer to Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu, and you will understand!

The powerful illusion techniques of this Pokémon are incomparable to Ghost-type Pokémon. Without exaggeration, if this Zoroark grows up, its hypnosis range could cover an entire city.

And as the Trainer, Lu Shuai could do as he pleased, becoming a hidden king who controls everything!

Of course, this applies when facing ordinary people!

Bai Jing, staring straight at Lu Shuai, understood the intent behind revealing this Pokémon.

First, to restore his image in Long Zhan's eyes!

Second, although revealing it carries risks, the benefits are proportional; the Long family will only value him more and employ him more heavily in the future!

Because just for the sake of this Zoroark, even if the Long family did not want him, countless people and factions would come to recruit him; his future is bright!

As for killing him to seize Zoroark, that is impossible, for a Pokémon recognizes only one Trainer in its life.

Unless the Trainer actively abandons it, the Jinglingdou Society will follow the Trainer until death.

If the Trainer is killed by someone, the Pokémon will launch a revenge!

······ Requesting flowers ······

No one would want to be secretly avenged by a Zoroark; that is too terrifying!

So this Lü Shuai, he had nothing to fear with such backing!

At this moment Bai Jing could not help but sigh — the man truly had the capital to be proud, a point even he had to admit!
