Jiang Chen stared at Zhao Sheng's sinister expression and smiled.
"I didn't expect you to actually walk into your own trap."
"Walk into my own trap? Hahahaha." Zhao Sheng laughed wildly. "You don't seriously think Jiang Yuan's second-tier Pokémon can stop me, do you?" Although he was no match for Jiang Yuan, Zhao Sheng didn't believe he couldn't even defeat Jiang Yuan's second-tier Pokémon.
"The louder you laugh now, the worse you'll die later. Keep laughing." Jiang Chen said coldly, looking at Zhao Sheng.
Alakazam and Beedrill were both by Jiang Chen's side; he was already invincible. Even Ning Ya wasn't worried. Wouldn't two Champion-level Pokémon be enough to deal with Zhao Sheng?
However, to be cautious, Ning Ya still secretly informed Jiang Yuan and Xie Yulan.
"Go for it." Zhao Sheng didn't want to waste time. Procrastinating wouldn't benefit him. The sooner he captured Jiang Chen, the safer he would be.
Currently, Zhao Sheng had three Pokémon: Swampert, Tyranitar, and Shiftry. These three were his strongest Pokémon. As for his other Pokémon, they were used to distract attention. It was by sending those Pokémon to attract the attention of the Elite Four pursuing him that he was able to escape.
"Beedrill, go all out, no mercy." Jiang Chen shouted to Beedrill.
A yellow flash streaked across, and Tyranitar was immediately taken down by Beedrill, followed closely by Swampert and Shiftry. In just one second, all three Pokémon lost their combat capability. This Beedrill's ability was Sniper, which increased the power of critical hits. Coupled with Beedrill's terrifying strength, it was normal for it to instantly defeat all three of them.
"Try running." Beedrill's stinger was already at Zhao Sheng's neck. If he dared to move again, he would probably be pierced instantly.
"I told you, you walked into your own trap. Do you believe me now?" Jiang Chen walked straight over.
From start to finish, it took less than a second. Champion-level strength truly achieved instant defeat of Elite Four. Three Pokémon, all Elite Four Rank 9, couldn't even last a second against Beedrill.
"When you attacked me, didn't you investigate thoroughly? Didn't you know I had Champion-level Pokémon?" Zhao Sheng asked with a grim expression.
He actually knew that Jiang Chen had a Champion-level Pokémon, but he only thought of Alakazam, not Beedrill. Tyranitar and Shiftry both had Dark-type, which could immune Psychic-type moves. He planned to have Tyranitar and Shiftry temporarily hold Alakazam for a short while, then grab Jiang Chen. Once Jiang Chen was captured, he could threaten Alakazam and prevent it from acting rashly. Who knew Jiang Chen also had a Champion-level Beedrill, which directly led to his utter defeat.
In fact, even if Jiang Chen didn't have Beedrill, Zhao Sheng would still have failed. Even with type advantage, Tyranitar and Shiftry couldn't have held Alakazam. Because Alakazam could use Teleport. If Jiang Chen was in danger, it could immediately take Jiang Chen away. Besides, Alakazam could also use moves of other types, and could still handle Tyranitar and Shiftry. Moreover, there were also several of Jiang Yuan's second-tier Pokémon here. Although they were second-tier, they might not necessarily be weaker than Zhao Sheng's main force. His decision to attack Jiang Chen was a mistake.
Jiang Chen subdued Zhao Sheng in no more than three minutes, and Xie Yulan arrived on Charizard.
"Son, are you alright?" Xie Yulan quickly asked Jiang Chen.
"Mom, I'm fine. With two Champion-level Pokémon by my side, how could anything happen?"
"Two Champion-level Pokémon?" Xie Yulan was a little confused.
"Beedrill has been completely subdued by me. It's my partner now." Jiang Chen pointed to Beedrill.
Xie Yulan knew that Jiang Chen had gone to subdue a Champion-level Pokémon. Jiang Yuan had told her about it, including the Master Ball. Since the group produced Poké Balls, Xie Yulan was also very interested in Master Balls. She had originally planned to take some time off to see the Master Ball. As for Jiang Chen completely subduing Beedrill and gaining Beedrill's recognition, Xie Yulan had only just found out.
"As expected of my son." After feeling happy for Jiang Chen, Xie Yulan looked at Zhao Sheng, who didn't dare to move.
"You actually dared to lay a hand on my son." The furious Xie Yulan punched Zhao Sheng in the face, directly knocking him to the ground.
"Alright, Mom, don't hit him anymore. Doesn't it hurt your hand? It's not necessary. He's already finished anyway." Jiang Chen pulled Xie Yulan back.
"Madam, you can use this to hit him. That way, your hand won't hurt." Ning Ya brought over a baseball bat.
"Good." Xie Yulan's eyes lit up, then she took the baseball bat and continued to hit Zhao Sheng. Even Ning Ya grabbed a baseball bat and joined in.
"Young Master, do you want to join?"
"No, I'm afraid I'll kill him directly." Jiang Chen shook his head. This guy is truly miserable, but Jiang Chen doesn't pity him either. The reason he stopped Xie Yulan earlier was out of fear that she would hurt her hand hitting Zhao Sheng; it wasn't worth it.
After Zhao Sheng was beaten half to death, Jiang Yuan finally arrived on Dragonite. Although Dragonite's speed wasn't slow, Jiang Yuan had originally been searching for Zhao Sheng's whereabouts in another city, so he arrived a little late.
"He really laid a hand on you." Jiang Yuan stared at Zhao Sheng. He had only guessed before, but he didn't expect this guy to actually try to harm Jiang Chen.
"Mm, Beedrill? You completely subdued it?" Looking at Beedrill, Jiang Yuan asked Jiang Chen.
Jiang Yuan had originally thought that Jiang Chen would eventually have to release Beedrill back into the wild, but he didn't expect Jiang Chen to actually have the ability to subdue Beedrill.
"Yes, Beedrill is my partner now." Jiang Chen reached out and patted Beedrill.
Jiang Yuan gave Jiang Chen a thumbs up. He himself had never achieved the feat of subduing a Champion-level Pokémon. His two Champion-level Pokémon were both raised by himself. In the past, he had tried to subdue Champion-level Pokémon, but unfortunately, even if he could defeat them, he couldn't subdue them. They simply wouldn't recognize him. And ordinary Poké Balls couldn't hold Champion-level Pokémon, so he eventually gave up on that idea. Jiang Chen, however, had accomplished something he couldn't.
"Zhao Sheng, do you have anything else to say?" Jiang Yuan stared at Zhao Sheng.
"Nothing to say." Zhao Sheng knew that once captured, his future was over.
"This is the fate of having a father who harms his son," Jiang Chen said, looking at Zhao Sheng.
If Zhao Xiao hadn't attacked Jiang Chen, Jiang Yuan wouldn't have dealt with Zhao Sheng, and thus wouldn't have discovered that this guy, as an Elite Four, actually had connections with a poaching syndicate and served as their protective umbrella. If Zhao Xiao hadn't messed up for his father, Zhao Sheng would at least still be at large, and probably wouldn't have had any issues for a short time.
However, his current situation was also his own fault. He was too greedy. As an Elite Four, he actually collaborated with a poaching syndicate for profit. If he himself had no issues, even if Jiang Yuan wanted to deal with Zhao Sheng, he would have nowhere to start.
"From now on, won't our Xia Kingdom have eleven Elite Four?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask.
"No, I will temporarily fill in as an Elite Four. Xia Kingdom will still have twelve Elite Four." Xie Yulan said to Jiang Chen.
She would temporarily fill in as an Elite Four, and Xie Yulan also had the strength to do so. Just her Champion-level Alakazam alone qualified her.
"Then, Mom, won't you be even busier in the future?"
"Isn't your dad here? In the future, he can help share some of the Elite Four's duties." Upon hearing Xie Yulan's words, Jiang Yuan's face instantly became a bitter gourd.
Mom filling in as an Elite Four, temporarily becoming an Elite Four. Both parents are Elite Four. His background is invincible.
Jiang Yuan notified the other Elite Four that Zhao Sheng had been captured. Then he put Zhao Sheng's unconscious Pokémon into Poké Balls, temporarily confiscating them.
"I'll take Zhao Sheng to deal with the aftermath. I also need to interrogate him for information about the poaching syndicate." Jiang Yuan grabbed Zhao Sheng, who had been beaten half to death, and said to Xie Yulan and Jiang Chen.
The poaching syndicate that Zhao Sheng colluded with must be thoroughly investigated. Xia Kingdom severely cracked down on Pokémon poaching syndicates and absolutely would not tolerate them. Any major country severely punished poaching syndicates. It was only in some small countries that poachers were more rampant.
"Mom, Alakazam is yours."
"Keep it by your side to protect you for now. I feel safer with Alakazam by your side," Xie Yulan shook her head.
"I already have Beedrill now. Beedrill will protect my safety." Jiang Chen patted Beedrill's head.
"Alright then." Xie Yulan nodded. This Beedrill was indeed not weak. According to Ning Ya, Zhao Sheng's three Pokémon were all defeated by Beedrill earlier. And they didn't even see how Beedrill moved; it instantly defeated those three Pokémon. With Beedrill around, there was indeed no need to worry about Jiang Chen's safety.
Xie Yulan also left to deal with the aftermath. The aftermath of Zhao Sheng's case was a bit troublesome. Jiang Chen also didn't return to school. Anyway, training Pokémon at school was the same as training them at home.
"Young Master, we have guests." Ning Ya said to Jiang Chen as he was training Pokémon in the backyard.
"Guests?" Jiang Chen turned around and saw Ling Wanqiu standing next to Ning Ya.
"I received news that Zhao Sheng really attacked you. Are you alright?" Ling Wanqiu asked.
"If I were in trouble, would I still be training Pokémon here?" Jiang Chen smiled.
"Then you didn't tell me? Before... before I was worried about you." Ling Wanqiu's voice was very low; most people wouldn't be able to hear what she was saying.
"Thank you for your concern. I just thought it wasn't a big deal, so I didn't say anything."
"This isn't a big deal?" Ling Wanqiu looked at Jiang Chen speechless. An Elite Four attacked you, and this isn't a big deal?
It was true that an Elite Four making a move was no small matter, but for Jiang Chen, who possessed Champion-level Pokémon, it wasn't a big deal. Unless it was one of those top Elite Four who also had Champion-level Pokémon, otherwise, other Elite Four truly couldn't pose a threat to him. One Champion-level Pokémon was enough to defeat a group of Elite Four.
"Garchomp, did your Gabite evolve?" Ling Wanqiu looked at Garchomp.
"That's right, it just evolved. Not long ago." It really had just evolved. When Ling Wanqiu arrived, the evolution had just finished, and Jiang Chen hadn't even had time to check Garchomp's status.
[Garchomp]
Gender: Male
Strength: Quasi-Elite Four Rank 2
Talent Potential: Champion
Type: Dragon, Ground
Ability: Rough Skin
Moves: Dragon Breath, Sand Tomb, Sand Attack, Dragon Claw, Sandstorm, Dragon Rush...
Its strength had risen from Elite Rank 8 to Quasi-Elite Four Rank 2, a significant leap.
"Why do your Pokémon grow so fast? Do you have some secret?" Ling Wanqiu couldn't help but ask.
Whether it was Gardevoir, Metagross, or Garchomp, they all grew too fast.
"Perhaps it's because I have more experience in training Psychic-type and Dragon-type Pokémon."
With the Aura Plate and Dragon Plate, how could Pokémon's growth speed not be fast? If it weren't for the Dragon Plate, Gabite would probably need to wait longer to evolve into Garchomp. In fact, other Pokémon also grew quickly in Jiang Chen's hands. For example, Riolu was also on the verge of evolution. In no more than three days, Riolu would definitely evolve into Lucario. Wartortle was also not far from evolving. This was due to good training and sufficient resources. Eating well, they naturally grew fast. Eating Energy Cubes and drinking the best nutrient solutions every day. If they didn't grow fast after that, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
"If you're willing to let your Dragonair, Fraxure, and Vibrava follow me for a few days, they might evolve too."
"Really? Then I'll let you help me train them for a few days." Ling Wanqiu said without hesitation.
"Alright, then leave them with me." Jiang Chen had been joking, but since Ling Wanqiu was truly willing to trust him, Jiang Chen didn't mind helping her train them. In fact, it wouldn't take much effort. With the Dragon Plate, they could improve their strength even by just lying around near Jiang Chen. When training at school, Ling Wanqiu's Pokémon training spot was very close to Jiang Chen's. They were already affected by the Dragon Plate and had made rapid progress in the past two days.
"You be careful. What if I accidentally lure them away, and they no longer recognize you as their trainer?" Jiang Chen joked.
"My Pokémon wouldn't do that." Pokémon were very loyal. Unless you abused them, they would basically never betray you. Pokémon were humanity's most loyal partners. Even the most ferocious Pokémon were absolutely loyal to their trainers. Of course, that was provided they truly recognized you.
As dusk approached, Ling Wanqiu blushed slightly as she refused Jiang Chen's invitation to stay and left. However, her Pokémon remained with Jiang Chen.
"Young Master, do you have a girlfriend?" Ning Ya asked.
"Not yet."
"Not yet, so that means later, right?" Ning Ya asked with a light smile, looking at Jiang Chen.
"Well, who knows what the future holds." Jiang Chen caressed Dragonair's head, telling Dragonair to go play with Dragonite. This Dragonair was his Dragonite's sister.
"Garchomp, don't bully them." Jiang Chen reminded Garchomp.
He knew his Garchomp too well. If he didn't remind it, Garchomp might really bully Fraxure and Vibrava. Garchomp glanced at Fraxure and Vibrava, indicating that it disdained bullying them.
