Chapter 141

"They all say it was caused by a powerful Ice-type Pokémon. No one knows exactly which Pokémon it is."

As he spoke, longing appeared in Qin Yun's eyes.

"If I could obtain such a Pokémon, winning the championship would be a certainty! I just don't know where it is now..."

Su Yu paid him no mind and immediately asked,

"Does this place have any distinctive landmarks?"

Qin Yun thought for a moment before saying, "It's said to be a habitat for Torkoal, with very open terrain. Many Torkoal seem to have been defeated by that Pokémon."

Hearing Qin Yun's words, Su Yu realized the Pokémon everyone was discussing must be his Articuno.

Fortunately, they hadn't discovered the Pokémon.

Nor did they have any way to search for it.

It would simply remain an unsolved mystery.

Thinking this, Su Yu felt relieved.

Since no clues had been exposed, they could speculate however they wished.

With that thought, Su Yu immediately went to get dinner.

Even while eating, Qin Yun kept babbling beside Su Yu about that Pokémon.

Things like, "If only I owned one!"

"Why didn't I encounter it!?"

"What if it saw me, thought I was handsome, and joined me?"

In short, it was clear Qin Yu desperately desired such a Pokémon.

But this was normal; which man wouldn't crave possessing an incredibly powerful Pokémon?

Even the others eating were discussing the matter.

Everyone expressed envy toward that powerful Ice-type Pokémon.

Unfortunately, Su Yu would not tell them this phenomenon was triggered by his Articuno.

After finishing his meal, Su Yu cleared the bowls and chopsticks and chose to leave immediately.

He had been tired enough today; he needed to return and rest properly.

Over the next few days, Su Yu continuously trained his Pokémon.

After spending half a month in the training camp,

someone finally returned and challenged Su Yu.

That person was Zheng Shen; he wanted to challenge Su Yu to claim the number one spot in the training camp!

Zheng Shen believed that after tempering himself with his Dragonite in the secret realm for half a month, his strength had improved dramatically!

He now had hope of defeating Su Yu and securing the first position!

However, when everyone gathered to watch the duel between him and Su Yu,

they were all surprised to discover the battle was completely one-sided!

Of course, it leaned entirely in Su Yu's favor.

Zheng Shen's Dragonite was quickly defeated by Su Yu's Salamence!

And it was a crushing defeat!

At this point, everyone realized that not only had Zheng Shen improved, but Su Yu had improved as well!

Moreover, Su Yu's improvement far exceeded Zheng Shen's!

Over these half-month, Zheng Shen had improved by less than half a level.

Meanwhile, Su Yu's Salamence had gained a full level of strength in just five days.

This was the power of Su Yu's golden finger.

Therefore, in terms of growth potential, Su Yu utterly dominated everyone else.

Consequently, Zheng Shen was quickly defeated by Su Yu!

Of course, some others refused to believe it and wanted to continue challenging Su Yu.

They were then ruthlessly crushed by Su Yu's Milotic and Aggron!

Only then did everyone have to accept the fact that Su Yu's strength was increasing rapidly.

Afterwards, these elites couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Aren't we supposed to be elites? Why do we seem so ordinary in Su Yu's hands?"

"I already felt my improvement was sufficient, so how did Su Yu get stronger again! And even stronger than before!"

"Hiss... If this continues, won't we all be left far behind by Su Yu? Why is he improving so fast?"

"We are all elite competitors, yet we can't even hold our heads up before Su Yu; this is too..."

"This is the first time I've felt such powerlessness; I never felt this way even when encountering children of Celestial Kings, but facing Su Yu, I feel I have no chance at all."

"Same here; I simply don't know how to surpass him. His improvement is too fast!"

Some gifted prodigies were so demoralized by Su Yu that they began doubting their very existence.

They all expressed that they were simply born in the wrong era and should never have been in the same place as Su Yu.

Su Yu felt helpless about this; who asked me to be so strong?

Another four days passed.

Only one day remained until Ho-Oh passed through the Stream Valley Secret Realm and dropped the Rainbow Wing.

On this day, after training, Su Yu set aside some time to let his Pokémon rest properly.

He also took the time to recuperate himself thoroughly.

That night, Su Yu went to sleep exceptionally early.

As soon as dawn broke on the second day, Su Yu immediately set out with his Pokémon.

Today, Su Yu did not carry his positioning bracelet, leaving it behind in his dormitory instead.

Since today's affairs were likely to attract attention, Su Yu did not wish to expose his location.

Furthermore, to ensure no one harbored even a sliver of suspicion toward him, Su Yu had not worn the bracelet for the past few days either.

The training camp staff had not intervened.

Trainees here were responsible for their own actions, so they would not forcibly require Su Yu and others to wear their bracelets.

After leaving the training camp, Su Yu rode his Luxray and galloped toward the location mentioned in the letter.

Traveling at full speed, it took merely half an hour for Su Yu to reach his destination.

However, at this moment, the sky showed no signs of change.

Some of the surrounding Pokémon had only just awakened.

They had all come out early in the morning to breathe fresh air.

Yet, upon seeing these Pokémon, Su Yu's eyes lit up.

"Since Ho-Oh has not arrived yet, I might as well grind some experience for my Pokémon first."

Of course, Su Yu did not pick any difficult Pokémon to fight.

He needed to ensure his own Pokémon would not be affected later.

[Blaziken defeated Vibrava and gained 1000 experience points!]

[Luxray defeated Rhyhorn and gained 1200 experience points!]

[Hydreigon defeated Dustox and gained 700 experience points!]

Thus, a great demon king targeting weak Pokémon emerged.

Countless Pokémon, who had only intended to go out for some fresh air, fell victim to his cruelty.

The Pokémon collectively expressed: We may not be human, but you are truly a dog!

Just as Su Yu kept one eye on the horizon and the other on the Pokémon,

a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky!

The previously calm sky suddenly seemed to ignite with flames.

Shortly after, a rainbow-colored light appeared in the vast, tranquil sky.

When people looked closely at the sky, they discovered that at the very beginning of the rainbow stood a bird entirely clad in red!

Unlike Moltres, which resembled a large bird with its feathers burned away,

this bird possessed incredibly beautiful red plumage.
