"Dragonite, use Dragon Rush."
Meeting the incoming Aura Sphere, Dragonite used Dragon Rush. A roar erupted from their collision, and Dragonite's figure continued to rush down towards Lucario.
When using Dragon Rush, a terrifying killing intent is released to intimidate the opponent, which affects their judgment and can even make them flinch. However, Jiang Chen's Lucario has the Steadfast Ability. Every time it flinches, Steadfast ignites, increasing its Speed instead.
Even with increased Speed, it would be difficult to dodge Dragonite's Dragon Rush.
"Lucario, use Protect."
Unable to dodge, Jiang Chen could only have Lucario use Protect to block the attack.
"Dragonite, use Fire Punch again."
"Lucario, use Close Combat."
Close Combat is a powerful Fighting-type move that sacrifices all defense for offense. Using this move lowers one's own Defense and Special Defense.
Dragonite was sent flying by Lucario's assault, and Lucario was likewise blasted away by Dragonite's Fire Punch.
After the previous heavy battering, coupled with the current powerful attack, even Dragonite was struggling to hold on.
"The battle should end now. Lucario, use Dragon Pulse."
Lucario could also learn Dragon Pulse. It was the only Dragon-type move Lucario could learn.
"Dragonite, you use Dragon Pulse as well."
The two Dragon Pulses collided. As Dragonite's Dragon Pulse was a STAB (Same-Type Attack Bonus) move, it was superior.
Dragonite's continued struggle slightly surprised Jiang Chen.
"Dragonite, for your final stand, use Hyper Beam."
"Lucario, you use Hyper Beam too."
The two Hyper Beams collided. After enduring for more than ten seconds, Dragonite, who had taken many hits before, couldn't hold on and was overwhelmed by Lucario's Hyper Beam.
Dragonite was blasted away by Hyper Beam, losing its ability to battle.
"Failed again." Ling Wanqiu recalled her fainted Dragonite.
It was clear that Dragonite was not weaker than Lucario. Therefore, this loss to Jiang Chen was her problem. She shouldn't have had Dragonite use Fire Punch against Lucario at the beginning. It didn't hit Lucario successfully and instead gave the opponent an opportunity. Otherwise, the outcome might have been unpredictable.
Jiang Chen recalled Lucario. This win was indeed easier than expected. The ease of victory was also partly due to Ling Wanqiu and Dragonite's insufficient coordination. After all, Dragonite had just evolved, and Ling Wanqiu was not yet familiar with it. First and foremost, Ling Wanqiu wasn't particularly clear about some of the moves Dragonite now knew. This was unlike Jiang Chen, who possessed the Detector Eye and immediately knew all the moves his Lucario had mastered.
Losing to Jiang Chen was a common occurrence, so Ling Wanqiu was rather calm about it. Of course, this didn't mean Ling Wanqiu didn't want to defeat Jiang Chen; the thought of defeating Jiang Chen was still there in her heart.
"I'll take Dragonite to get treated for its injuries first. I'll trouble you to continue training Fraxure and Vibrava for me." Ling Wanqiu handed two Poké Balls to Jiang Chen.
"Alright. After these two Pokémon of yours evolve, remember to thank me properly." Jiang Chen took the two Poké Balls.
"Sure. Whatever way you want me to thank you then, I'll do it."
"You said it."
After returning home from school, Jiang Chen released all his Pokémon and also took out the Mysterious Slate, Dragon Slate, and the Lustrous Orb to help his Pokémon increase their strength.
"Slow—!" The released Slowbro suddenly cried out.
"You said you're breaking through?" Jiang Chen immediately patted Slowbro's head upon hearing this. "Then why are you still here? Hurry to the beach."
When Elite Four-level Pokémon break through to Champion-level, they cause a lot of commotion. Last time when Alakazam broke through, the commotion it should have caused was suppressed by the Mysterious Slate. Jiang Chen didn't know if he could suppress it this time. For safety's sake, he quickly sent Slowbro away from home.
Slowbro, who was usually slow and unhurried in everything, quickly left home and headed to the beach. Jiang Chen immediately called his father.
"Dad, your Slowbro is about to break through to Champion-level."
"What did you say?" Jiang Yuan nearly thought he misheard Jiang Chen's words.
"It's about to break through. Aren't you coming back to see?"
"I'll be right back." Jiang Yuan said, somewhat excited. Thinking about Jiang Chen having helped Alakazam break through to Champion-level, Jiang Yuan didn't think Jiang Chen was joking with him. With another Champion-level Pokémon in his hands, he could challenge the Champion title.
"Sister Ning Ya, let's go together." Jiang Chen took Ning Ya's hand, then had Gardevoir use Teleport to take them to the beach.
At the beach, perhaps because there was no Mysterious Slate to suppress the Primordial Power eruption, Slowbro caused significant destruction. From a distance, Jiang Chen released Beedrill, having it help withstand the erupting Primordial Power. Besides Psychic-type Primordial Power, there was also Water-type Primordial Power. Slowbro stirred up huge waves in the ocean. Fortunately, the waves immediately subsided after Slowbro stabilized its control over the Primordial Power, otherwise, it might have caused a disaster.
"It seems Slowbro's breakthrough this time also has the Lustrous Orb's contribution." Jiang Chen speculated inwardly.
"I never imagined that the goofy Slowbro would be so terrifying after reaching Champion-level." Ning Ya looked at the scene, slightly shaken. The entire beach was ravaged beyond recognition.
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully raising a Pokémon to Champion-level. You have gained +1,000,000 points!]
The one million points that arrived were what excited Jiang Chen the most. After all, Slowbro was his father's, and the points were Jiang Chen's own. He would save the points in his hand. Jiang Chen temporarily didn't plan to use them; he wanted to accumulate points to purchase a Legendary Pokémon from the System Shop. Although the gap to purchasing a Legendary Pokémon was huge, it didn't matter. Accumulating small amounts would lead to a large sum, and sooner or later, Jiang Chen would have enough points to buy a Legendary Pokémon.
"Come on, let's go." Jiang Chen pulled Ning Ya along.
At this moment, Slowbro had already mastered Primordial Power. This Slowbro was no ordinary Pokémon; it had mastered two types of Primordial Power. Champion-level Pokémon would master the Primordial Power of their own type. With the blessing of Primordial Power, the moves they unleashed would be terrifyingly powerful.
"It's already a Champion, why is it still so goofy?" Jiang Chen looked at Slowbro's "smart" eyes and couldn't help but say.
"I'm afraid Slowbro's slow nature won't change no matter how strong it gets," Ning Ya said with a smile, stroking Slowbro's head. It looked quite cute when it was being goofy. Most people who saw Slowbro would absolutely not believe it was a Champion-level Pokémon.
[Slowbro]
Gender: Male
Strength: Champion Rank 1
Talent Potential: Champion
Type: Water, Psychic
Ability: Oblivious
Moves: Confusion, Water Pulse, Zen Headbutt, Heal Pulse, Surf, Ice Punch, Ice Beam
"Slowbro, use Hydro Pump for me. Use Hydro Pump with full power." Jiang Chen pointed towards the ocean and called out to Slowbro. Jiang Chen wasn't sure how powerful Hydro Pump was, but he saw Slowbro fire a Hydro Pump that went at least ten kilometers away.
"I feel like Slowbro isn't as slow anymore." When giving the command, Jiang Chen clearly felt that Slowbro wasn't slow. It just looked goofy on the surface. This was good; at least it could trick enemies in battle. Just its "smart" look alone would definitely make opponents underestimate it.
A black dot appeared in the sky, coming from afar. Jiang Yuan, riding Dragonite, finally returned.
"It really evolved to Champion-level." Jiang Yuan's eyes were fixed on Slowbro.
"Did you think I would lie to you? Isn't this a great gift I gave you?"
"You little rascal, you truly are capable. Just with this skill, your future achievements will definitely surpass mine," Jiang Yuan said proudly. "However, this matter must be kept secret. If outsiders knew you could easily make Elite Four-level Pokémon break through to Champion-level, countless people would probably target you." Jiang Yuan also reminded Jiang Chen.
"Don't worry, I won't blabber it out." He wasn't stupid, of course he wouldn't reveal his secret to outsiders.
"By the way, your Salamence, I'll help you train it." According to his understanding, Jiang Yuan's Salamence was not far from breaking through to Champion-level. If Jiang Chen hadn't helped Slowbro break through, Jiang Yuan would probably have trained Salamence to break through to Champion-level and then challenged the Champion title.
"No problem, I'll leave it to you." If it were before, he might have doubted Jiang Chen's ability. Now, he didn't doubt it at all. His second team's Slowbro could be trained to Champion-level strength, let alone Salamence, which already had the potential to break through to Champion-level.
"One million points are beckoning to me again." Helping his father improve his Pokémon's strength while gaining points? Why not?
"Right, and your Flygon, give it to me too." His father's main team also included a Flygon. Although it didn't have Champion-level potential, it didn't matter. Now that Jiang Chen had the Dragon Slate, it was simple to make Flygon gain Champion-level potential.
Jiang Yuan released Salamence and Flygon, then instructed them to obediently follow Jiang Chen.
"Salamence has a bad temper," Jiang Yuan told Jiang Chen. His Salamence had a bad temper. Salamence was also called "Violent Flying Dragon" or "Bloodwing Flying Dragon," and most Salamence had bad tempers.
"It's fine. A bad temper can be corrected with some discipline." Even if Salamence threw a tantrum, Jiang Chen could handle it. Don't forget, Jiang Chen also had a Champion-level Beedrill. No matter how powerful Salamence was, if it hadn't broken through to Champion-level, it would only be at the mercy of Champion-level Beedrill.
Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Salamence seemed unconvinced. Just as it showed a look of defiance, Beedrill next to it revealed its twin stingers. Under the chilling stingers and Beedrill's terrifying aura, Salamence had no choice but to suppress its defiance.
Jiang Chen had his father take Slowbro away. When it was being taken away, Slowbro looked a little reluctant to part with Jiang Chen.
He now had two more Pokémon in his hands, but Salamence and Flygon didn't need Jiang Chen to arrange any specific training for them. They just needed to follow Jiang Chen as "ornaments," and their strength would increase passively.
"Let's go back." Jiang Chen had Gardevoir Teleport him and Ning Ya back to the villa.
The released Salamence and Flygon lost themselves slightly in their eyes when they saw the Dragon Slate. Especially Flygon; the Dragon Slate was the key to Flygon changing its fate. Without the Dragon Slate, it would only be Elite Four-level for its entire life, with no chance of reaching Champion-level.
"By the way, after completing the mission of owning a Champion-level Pokémon, new missions should have refreshed, right?" Jiang Chen opened the mission panel and took a look.
[Mission: Own six Elite Four-level Pokémon. Task Reward: 10,000,000 points.]
There were indeed new missions. The new mission only had points as a reward, but the points reward for this mission was truly huge. However, this mission was one that Jiang Chen couldn't complete in a short time again. Currently, Jiang Chen only had one Elite Four-level Pokémon. The mission to own three Elite Four-level Pokémon hadn't been completed yet, let alone this mission to gather six Elite Four-level Pokémon.
After dinner, Jiang Chen put Feebas into the fish tank. The fish tank was very large, completely enough for Feebas to swim around. Then he put the Lustrous Orb into the fish tank. He hoped the power contained in the Lustrous Orb would allow Feebas to evolve sooner. Feebas could only turn its fate around after evolving into Milotic; otherwise, it would be unable to battle. Because it was simply too weak. If it were to battle, unless the opponent brought out a Magikarp, Goldeen, or Poliwag, he might have a chance of winning. And if Feebas were to battle, it would need a Water field.
"If I took the Lustrous Orb to the beach to fish, could I fish up Kyogre?" Even if the Lustrous Orb couldn't control a Legendary Pokémon, it should still be attractive to Kyogre, right?
This thought only lasted for a moment before he immediately dismissed it. If Kyogre were truly attracted, it would probably be a disaster. If he had Rayquaza, Jiang Chen wouldn't mind trying. If Kyogre were indeed attracted, he could immediately have Rayquaza defeat it. Before he had a Legendary Pokémon, he shouldn't court death by provoking one.
"It really has gotten stronger." Jiang Chen carefully observed Feebas for a while and found that Feebas had indeed gotten stronger. Its strength had reached Normal Rank 9 and was close to Elite Rank. As for signs of evolution, there were none yet.
"Crack~!" A shattering sound suddenly rang out. Jiang Chen's gaze immediately turned to the Pokémon Egg on the table. In an instant, the Pokémon Egg completely shattered, and then a Charmander stood on the table.
"You actually hatched." Jiang Chen walked over and picked up Charmander.
[Charmander]
Gender: Male
Strength: Normal Rank 1
Talent Potential: Champion
Type: Fire
Ability: Blaze
Moves: Scratch, Growl, Ember, Smokescreen
The newly hatched Charmander still looked very cute. After evolving, Charizard was considered one of the better-looking among the starter Pokémon.
"I have another Pokémon. It looks like I need to make another training plan." Jiang Chen took out a Luxury Ball and put Charmander into it. Then Jiang Chen released Charmander from the Poké Ball again.
"At home, remember not to recklessly use Flamethrower." Jiang Chen said to Charmander. He specifically reminded Charmander to prevent it from accidentally setting the house on fire.
