Chapter 966: Arena Tournament

Mu Xia tied up her high ponytail and said to Su Hao with a full face of smiles, "Since that parting in Ice Peak City, this is our first face-to-face conversation, right?"

"I really didn't expect that the high school freshman trainer at that time... no, you are still considered a freshman trainer now, could actually stand on the same stage as us and force us into a dead end."

Mu Xia's tone was filled with emotion, as if she was recounting her own inner journey.

Su Hao couldn't help but retort, "Has anyone ever told you, Senior, that pre-battle reminiscence is usually setting a flag? If you want to reminisce, try to do it while clashing moves..."

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Mu Xia smiled, returned to her position, took out a Poké Ball, aimed it at Su Hao, and said, "Since we are standing on this stage, both you and I are just Pokémon trainers."

"Fighting with pure strength and without distractions is what I look forward to... Come on, the final true sword battle!"

After speaking, Mu Xia threw the Poké Ball.

A Pokémon exuding strange pheromones, with a body almost close to the ground and a very bewitching temperament, appeared.

It was like a slender lizard, covered in smooth black-purple skin, with purple-red patterns on its abdomen that couldn't be broadcast, setting off the bewitching temperament of this Pokémon even more.

Like a bewitching concubine who brings disaster to the country and the people, or like an empress who holds all power.

The Toxic Lizard Pokémon—Salazzle.

As a species that is only female, the habits of Salazzle can be summarized in a few words: "I opened a reverse harem in the Pokémon world."

Su Hao had a deep impression of Salazzle.

After all, this species has the "Corrosion" ability that can make Steel-type Pokémon fall into a poisoned state. It can be said that as long as they come into contact with their attacks, the probability of being poisoned is almost 100%.

Such a Salazzle, as soon as it appeared, stared at Milotic with cold eyes.

As a queen in the shadows, it hated Milotic's way of packaging itself to look bright and beautiful; it was simply too pretentious.

And Milotic also noticed Salazzle's cold and hostile gaze, only feeling that it was inexplicable.

Mu Xia immediately ordered, "Flame Whip!"

Salazzle suddenly stood upright, condensed a long whip made of flames in its hand, and whipped it in the air, making bursts of explosions, looking very unsuitable for children.

The Flame Whip stretched in the air like a swimming snake, whipping toward Milotic from a tricky angle.

Milotic let water flow wrap around its tail without changing its expression, sweeping toward the position where the Flame Whip was attacking. As sizzling white mist rose, the Flame Whip was actually extinguished directly by Aqua Tail!

One strike failed, and Mu Xia said in a deep voice as if she had expected it, "Flamethrower!"

Salazzle spat purple-red flames at Milotic, and a foul smell like burning garbage instantly filled the arena, which made Milotic, who loved cleanliness, frown deeply.

This was a special technique that Mu Xia's Salazzle had practiced, a powerful fire poison. Combined with its Corrosion ability, it could be said that as long as the enemy was contaminated, the outcome would be decided at that moment.

The fire poison that penetrated into the bone marrow would spread throughout the body at an extremely fast speed. If there was no antidote for this type of toxin, it would only take a moment for a Pokémon to go from a near-death state to death.

The highly toxic Flamethrower emitted thick poisonous mist, burning straight toward Milotic!

Milotic was not afraid of fire poison. For it, as long as the strength did not exceed Latias and Latios, any abnormal status released by any Pokémon would not take effect.

But one thing is one thing; it did not want such dirty flames to contaminate its body.

After all, since it was young, it had not lived in a mud pit like other Feebas, and physiologically, it could not accept these things.

Aqua Ring!

Milotic called out to the tide. In just a moment, the gurgling water flow turned into a water curtain surrounding its side, and the Flamethrower erupted on the Aqua Ring but could not advance an inch.

Without showing a hint of hesitation, Mu Xia had no intention of stopping at all. Her fighting style was to attack, attack, and attack again until she broke through the enemy's defense line!

"Raise the tide of venom!"

With Mu Xia's voice as a signal, under Salazzle,

a tide of poison composed of pure highly toxic substances surged out, instantly covering the entire field.

"Got something there." Su Hao raised an eyebrow slightly. Mu Xia's move already had a bit of the flavor of Max Ooze.

In the field that had turned into a poison domain, as long as there was a loophole in Milotic's water curtain, the highly toxic venom would swarm up to defile Milotic's body.

Unfortunately, perhaps from the perspective of Mu Xia and Salazzle, Milotic was wary of their venom, which was why it chose to defend for the first time.

However, the truth... is always cruel.

Milotic simply didn't want to be touched by the venom; in fact, it wouldn't be poisoned even if it swam in this venom.

However, neither Mu Xia nor Salazzle would ever have the chance to know this.

Milotic didn't want to stay in this ocean of venom for even a moment longer.

After getting Su Hao's permission, Milotic flew straight into the sky, surrounded by strong light, and instantly condensed massive psychic energy in front of its mouth. The pink-purple brilliance was almost competing with the scorching sun hanging in the sky.

Although it was a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut to deal with Salazzle, the inheritance of the legend... the brilliance belonging to the Cleanse Light followed Milotic's will and bloomed brilliantly!

Unlike Suicune's peaceful purification power, the purification of Cleanse Light is to use absolute power to exorcise all unclean things!

The dazzling light column instantly enveloped the entire arena, instantly destroying the entire ocean of poison, and incidentally instantly killing Salazzle.

Somewhere in the Imperial City, Mr. Liao Xingchen, the current champion of the Shenzhou Alliance who had obtained a long-lost vacation due to the postponement of the World Championships, was holed up at home playing video games like a shut-in.

Liao Xingchen's gaze swept over the live broadcast screen on the computer screen next to him. His operation of Iori Yagami stalled, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said to the short Pokémon next to him who was also operating the controller: "This move is not ordinary. Is it the blessing of a legendary Pokémon?"

"Shoryuken... I won." Marshadow operated the controller expressionlessly. The character on the TV screen ended the game with a powerful uppercut. Then, Marshadow looked at the dazzling picture on the computer live broadcast, was silent for a moment, and said calmly: "It's Latios's power."

"Oh~ one of the legendary guardians of the water capital in Shui Zhou City?" Liao Xingchen suddenly realized, thought for a while, and said: "Speaking of which, according to the Alliance's records, this kid did disappear in the sea area nearby for a period of time during his trip."

"It seems that it was that time?"
