Chapter 237

The Armored Cannon Shrimp extended its arm once more.

A white light instantly condensed on its right pincer.

Just as the Salamence's iron tail was about to strike, the Cannon Beam fired directly.

Propelled by the Cannon Beam, the Armored Cannon Shrimp actually shot backward at high speed.

Causing the Salamence's iron tail to strike nothing but air!

Furthermore, while retreating, the Armored Cannon Shrimp directly hit the Salamence with its Cannon Beam.

"Bang!"

This attack from the Armored Cannon Shrimp struck the Salamence's tail.

Due to the energy reinforcement, this blow merely forced the Salamence back a few steps.

The Salamence shook its numb wings and roared fiercely at the Armored Cannon Shrimp.

Seeing the Armored Cannon Shrimp handle the situation this way,

Su Yu's eyes also lit up.

Using the propulsion of a skill to create distance from the opponent not only allows one to dodge their melee attacks,

but also enables one to hit the opponent directly.

It was simply a perfect countermeasure!

Coupled with the unexpected release, the effect was undoubtedly excellent.

Clearly, King King Hongwu was also aware of the Armored Cannon Shrimp's weaknesses.

Therefore, he had trained this capability with the Armored Cannon Shrimp.

This was precisely where Champions proved superior to other trainers.

It was not just about the strength of their Pokémon.

Their understanding of battle also surpassed that of ordinary people.

"Armored Cannon Shrimp, use Water Gun!"

"Salamence, use Rock Slide!"

The Armored Cannon Shrimp once again fired a stream of aqua-blue energy at the Salamence.

A water jet flew straight toward the Salamence.

Facing this attack, the Salamence heavily stomped its forelimbs on the ground.

In an instant, the arena floor directly in front of the Salamence shattered.

A massive rock surged upward from the ground, appearing before the Salamence.

The Salamence positioned this rock in front of itself as a shield.

The impact of the Water Gun struck the rock directly.

However, due to insufficient power, it was blocked by the rock.

Thus, the Salamence behind the rock remained unharmed.

After the Armored Cannon Shrimp finished its attack,

the Salamence directly swung the massive rock in front of it.

With a fierce slap, the boulder was sent hurling forward.

"Armored Cannon Shrimp, use Cannon Beam to blast the rock!"

Upon hearing the command, the Armored Cannon Shrimp rapidly fired its Cannon Beam.

Under this strike, the incoming boulder shattered into small fragments.

However, behind the shattered rock, a figure flew directly forward.

"Sal!"

The Salamence's blood-red wings turned silver-white.

It dove straight toward the Armored Cannon Shrimp.

Since the Armored Cannon Shrimp had just released a skill, it was currently in a state of exhaustion.

Therefore, the Salamence's wings crashed directly into its body.

"Xia!"

After sweeping past, the Salamence's Steel Wing rapidly ascended.

Under this strike, the Armored Cannon Shrimp was sent flying backward.

"Salamence, use Dragon Rush!"

Su Yu shouted loudly.

Upon hearing the command, the Salamence continued to climb higher.

Upon reaching its highest point,

its entire aura condensed onto the Armored Cannon Shrimp.

Subsequently, purple energy enveloped its whole body.

Dragon-type energy manifested into a giant purple dragon.

At this moment, the Salamence, like a predator, dove downward.

Its formidable energy caused the surrounding air to tremble slightly.

Seeing this, King King Hongwu began to ponder in his heart.

Facing the Salamence's dive, he could easily order the Armored Cannon Shrimp to use Hyper Beam to knock it down.

However, if he did so, the Armored Cannon Shrimp would be immobilized in the next turn due to skill recoil.

In such a scenario, if the Salamence was not defeated in one blow, the momentum of the battle would instantly reverse.

The Armored Cannon Shrimp approached by the Tyrant Sky Dragon stood no chance against it.

Thus, after pondering for a moment.

Hong Wu said, "Ice Beam!"

The Armored Cannon Shrimp aimed at the Tyrant Sky Dragon diving from the sky.

Although its momentum was astonishing, the Armored Cannon Shrimp remained unafraid.

It directly fired an ice-blue beam from its right pincer.

"An Ice Beam cannot bring down my Tyrant Sky Dragon!"

Su Yu smiled slightly and said confidently.

When the Ice Beam struck the Tyrant Sky Dragon.

Ice-blue hard ice instantly enveloped it.

However, while frozen.

The purple energy aura surrounding the Tyrant Sky Dragon's entire body did not diminish.

It continued diving toward the Armored Cannon Shrimp.

At this moment, it resembled an ice-blue meteor crashing down upon the Armored Cannon Shrimp.

In the widened eyes of the Armored Cannon Shrimp.

The Tyrant Sky Dragon instantly smashed into its body.

"Boom!"

Dragon's Dive landed.

Emitting a tremendous tremor.

Meanwhile, a massive crater had suddenly appeared in the center of the arena.

At the crater's center, the Tyrant Sky Dragon had already broken free from its frozen state due to the earlier impact.

On the other side.

Stood the Armored Cannon Shrimp, holding its right arm before its body.

Although its right pincer was now somewhat scorched black.

It had still barely blocked this attack.

"Such tenacious vitality. Tyrant Sky Dragon, Thunder Fang!"

The teeth within the Tyrant Sky Dragon's mouth flashed with electric light.

Golden-yellow energy spread through its mouth.

Subsequently, the Tyrant Sky Dragon charged forward.

Opening its blood-filled maw, it bit down toward the Armored Cannon Shrimp.

At this moment, the exhausted Armored Cannon Shrimp could only continue to block with its right arm in front of itself.

However, when the Salamence bit down on its right arm.

A tremendous burst of light exploded instantly.

Golden-yellow lightning enveloped the entire body of the Armored Cannon Shrimp.

The sound of electric current filled the Armored Cannon Shrimp's body.

Under the double damage from the Electric type.

The Armored Cannon Shrimp let out a cry of pain.

"Salamence, use Dragon Claw!"

The Salamence swung its sharp claws once more.

Leaving two deep gashes directly on the Armored Cannon Shrimp's body.

Under this strike, the Armored Cannon Shrimp sustained further injury.

"Final Iron Tail! Finish him!"

A metallic sheen appeared on the Salamence's tail.

It swung its thick tail directly forward.

The tail, half a meter thick, resembled a massive iron club.

It swung out in an instant.

Flying straight toward the Armored Cannon Shrimp.

At this moment, the Armored Cannon Shrimp barely extended its right pincer to block.

But under this overwhelmingly powerful strike, the Armored Cannon Shrimp was sent flying backward like a cannonball.

It crashed heavily onto the arena floor several meters away.

Its eyes spun in circles, having lost the ability to battle.

188: Su Yu's Champion-level Pokémon!!

【Salamence defeated Armored Cannon Shrimp, gaining 7000 experience points!】

【Salamence has sufficient experience and has leveled up to Lv66!】

With this, the match came to an end.

Seeing the Armored Cannon Shrimp's defeat, Hong Wu felt no discouragement.

He had weathered many storms in his time.

Moreover, Su Yu was his successor.

The more outstanding Su Yu's performance, the happier he became.

Therefore, through this match, he also gained an understanding of Su Yu's strength and command capabilities.

It could be said that no flaws could be found.

It was utterly perfect.

"You did very well, old friend."

After comforting the Armored Cannon Shrimp with these words.

Hong Wu recalled the Armored Cannon Shrimp into its Poké Ball.

He handed the Poké Ball to a nearby staff member to take it for treatment.

"Your battle was magnificent," Hong Wu said directly.

"And your Salamence is raised exceptionally well! It showed no fear of my Armored Cannon Shrimp despite the level disadvantage."

Hearing this, Su Yu nodded.

His Salamence possessed a Sect Master-level talent.

Compared to ordinary Pokémon, it was naturally far stronger.

"In that case, until school starts, you will spar with me," Hong Wu said.

"Thank you, Uncle Hong."

Su Yu expressed his gratitude.

Having Hong Wu, a 240-year-old former Champion, serve as a constant sparring partner was a privilege not everyone possessed.

"Haha, it's not much trouble; it actually reminds me of my youth," Hong Wu laughed heartily, saying cheerfully.

The blood-pumping sensation from the earlier battle reminded him of the days when he worked hard to improve alongside his own Pokémon.

Although frequent battles might be tiring, experiencing it occasionally felt quite good.

Thus, over these days, Su Yu began his training life with Hong Wu.

During these subsequent sparring sessions.

Hong Wu finally discovered the terrifying aspect of Su Yu.

Because he not only possessed such a powerful pseudo-legendary Pokémon like Salamence.

But now, Su Yu's Blaziken and Milotic.

Were also bringing him pressure!

The golden flames of the Blaziken truly made him feel both novelty and terror.

And Su Yu's Milotic was exactly the same!

At this moment, after absorbing Lugia's Mysterious Water Drop.

The Milotic's own Water-type energy had become even purer.

His own water-type energy also became further purified.

Thus, his water stream also became like the golden flames of Blaziken.

It had acquired its own unique traits.

According to Su Yu's perception, Milotic's Water-type abilities should now be enhanced with sustained power.

Compared to Blaziken's golden flames,

its offensive power was slightly weaker, but its recovery capability had become even stronger.

Under such circumstances, Milotic was completely a monster of endurance.

Its stamina was abundant, with no risk of ever running out.

It could also release move after move in succession.

King King Hongwu possessed many Elite-level Pokémon.

This was only natural; which Elite Trainer did not have dozens of reserve Pokémon?

Especially an veteran Elite like King King Hongwu.

The number of Pokémon at his disposal was even more plentiful.

Therefore, Su Yu had no need to worry about a lack of opponents.

Even if each of Su Yu's Pokémon fought two opponents, it would still be more than enough.

【Blaziken defeated Swellow and gained 7500 experience points!】

【Blaziken defeated Hariyama and gained 7400 experience points!】

【Blaziken has sufficient experience and leveled up to Lv68!】

【Blaziken has sufficient experience and leveled up to Lv69!】

【Blaziken has sufficient experience and leveled up to Lv70!】

Through Su Yu's relentless efforts, Blaziken successfully leveled up battle after battle, finally reaching the Elite level!

It became the second Elite-level Pokémon in Su Yu's possession!

【Name: Blaziken (Fire, Fighting)】

【Gender: ♂】

【Level: Lv. 0 (Elite)】

【Ability: Speed Boost (Speed increases every turn.)】

【Potential: Divine (Can break through the level 100 limit)】
