Dodo Bird: I'll fight the Swamp Tree?

Chapter 90 Dodo Bird: I'll fight the Swamp Tree?

Yulongdu looked helpless and said, "Special Class Investigator Ze Shu, I've long admired your name."

Although I don't know what the investigator Zeki in front of me means by "dodo bird".

However, he himself had heard some of the criticisms from the outside world about his status as the "Dragon-type Elite Four member"—that he was clearly the Dragon-type Elite Four member, but his team was full of Flying-type Pokémon, and he should be called the "Flying-type Elite Four member" or something like that.

What do these people know! They really need to be wiped out completely.

Although Wataru didn't really care about these words... well, he did care a little.

He then said earnestly, "If you want to be friendly, you can call me A-Du."

Ze Shu coughed twice to cover it up: "Hello, A-Du. You can also just call me Ze Shu."

Since they weren't familiar with each other yet, and the other person indicated they didn't want to hear that form of address, he couldn't just make a joke about it without permission.

"But—" Ze Shu asked doubtfully, "Do you know me?"

"I've also heard a little about the Sinnoh incident," Lance chuckled. "Although the news has been kept secret from the public, for someone of our caliber, such information is readily available with a simple investigation."

"And it is also possible to find out who was promoted from the lowest-ranking investigator to the highest-ranking investigator in less than two months."

To be honest, he was quite surprised at first.

It's truly outrageous that someone could be promoted to Special Investigator in just two months.

As the most renowned "Special Star" among the investigators, it took him two and a half years to be promoted to this rank.

Therefore, Watari took the initiative to accept the task of receiving this "Special Class Investigator".

They waited specifically at the entrance of this alliance.

"So," Ze Shu asked, puzzled, "A-Du, you came here because you want to..."

Yu Longdu said earnestly, "I've come to welcome you."

Zeki: "...—

If I'm not mistaken, this Yulongdu was one of the Kanto Four Heavenly Kings who recently passed the Alliance test and was promoted.

Welcoming him? Is Zhu Lan's letter of introduction really that powerful?

But then, as he was thinking, he heard Yulongdu add, "If possible, I'd like to cut you up again. I'm very interested in you."

Ze Shu twitched the corner of his mouth: "...Shall we cut it?"

Based on his memory, he thought about the lineup for Du: Dragonite, two Dragonair, and then Gyarados, Charizard, and Aerodactyl with Flying, Water, Fire, and Rock attributes.

If I remember correctly.

Then Charizard is a bit more difficult to defeat.

Perhaps he was a little slow in responding because he was thinking.

Yu Longdu shook his head: "I was being presumptuous."

Ze Shu shook his head as well: "It's okay, we can fight if we want."

He also wanted to test his limits.

To be honest, aside from being defeated by Liu Bo, he and his Glaceon had never had a difficult time, and he wasn't quite sure of his own strength.

Wataru, a champion-level figure whom I have greatly restrained, is not a very suitable subject for testing strength.

But they are still considered a fairly high-level opponent, right?

"......"

The Quartz League has a standard, top-tier battleground.

After hearing Ze Shu explain that he could fight, Yu Long Du brought him directly here.

The empty battlefield currently only has him and Watari. Since it's just a "cut", Watari didn't bring a referee.

"The simple rules of the competition are 1v1. As for the outcome, we'll see," said Yulongdu earnestly.

It emphasizes knowing when to stop, and it's not about fighting indiscriminately.

Ze Shu understood.

Moreover, it was only 1v1, which suited Ze Shu's wishes perfectly.

After all, his current strongest unit is only Glaceon. His second-tier Froslass and Pawni need further training, as he hasn't had time to catch and train them for very long.

As he pondered, he saw Lance, standing on the opposite side of the battlefield, unleash a Dragonite.

A plump body with a round, soft belly.

Dragonite's chubby face was trying to force a fierce expression: "Roar!"

Zeki: "Cute."

However, he did not expect that Wataru would directly send out his ace Dragonite.

Do you value him that much?

Just as he intended.

Zeshu drew his belt, releasing the Ice Eevee that was positioned in the starting position on the belt.

Ice Eevee landed on the field with light steps, its cute little head held high, yet it appeared so aloof.

Upon seeing the Ice Eevee, Lance twitched the corner of his mouth.

Could it be that his opponent is specifically there to counter him?

No, look at the Alolan Vulpix lazily lying in its opponent's arms, and the Froslass that keeps popping up to rub against it, plus the Glaceon on the field.

Could it be that this investigator, Ze Shu, is an ice-attribute specialist?!

Yu Longdu couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless.

He takes this opponent very seriously, and even though it's a weak opponent, he still sent out his strongest Pokémon.

But it seems that if they are at the same level, he would be completely outmatched.

That feeling of utter helplessness, like when facing Lorelei—although he had just become the Kanto Elite Four member, Lance was already aiming for the Championship. Lorelei, the Ice-type Elite Four member, was undoubtedly the biggest obstacle he had figured out on his path to becoming Champion.

Yu Longdu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Let the battle begin—"

"Dragonite, Extreme Speed!"

He plans to strike first!

As soon as Lance gave the command, Dragonite moved and vanished from its spot. When it reappeared, it was around Glaceon, intending to ram into it with its chubby body.

In the Kanto region, Extreme Speed ​​is practically the signature move of Dragonite and Arcanine; mentioning this move immediately brings these two Pokémon to mind.

It grants an incredibly fast advantage in combat, making it quite formidable. Almost every opponent encountered for the first time will be hit by this move.

But on the field, just as the Dragonite's chubby belly was about to crash into the Ice Eevee at extremely high speed.

But all that could be seen was a transparent light shield emanating from Ice Eevee's body.

With a loud thud, Dragonite's belly collided with the Light Shield, almost causing its belly to cave in quite a bit, and then it was violently thrown a considerable distance.

"Hold on."

Ze Shu's words reached Yu Longdu's ears before Ze Shu could speak.

Du sighed helplessly, then his face turned cold: "Pounce!"

"Whoosh~~"

The Dragonite, clutching its stomach, heard the command, its face fierce, and with its chubby arms outstretched, it pounced on the Ice Eevee!

This move relies on the body's toughness; the tougher the body, the more painful the attack. As described in the game, it uses Defense stats instead of Attack stats for calculation—although for Dragonite, this is less effective than not using Defense at all.

But at least its attack is effective against Ice Eevee!

But Dragonite lunged forward with its憨厚 (honest and simple) body.

What came head-on was Glaceon's merciless freezing beam: "Eee!"

Like a sharp blade, it pierced straight towards Dragonite's belly, and mercilessly struck its body amidst Dragonite's wide, terrified eyes.

boom!

Seemingly severely injured, Dragonite was sent flying and crashed to the ground, while Ice Eevee raised its head.

Yulongdu's body emitted a faint, inconspicuous green light, his eyes filled with utmost seriousness: "Divine Speed, follow up with the Flame Fist!"

But the Dragonite lying on the ground vanished in a flash. When it reappeared, its face was fierce, and it swung its fiery fist down hard at the Glaceon!

"Eevee!" The trainer's reminder reached his ears.

But the opponent's attack speed was too fast. Glaceon had not expected its opponent to recover its stamina so quickly and then suddenly launch an attack. It was somewhat flustered: "Eevee, Eevee!"

Feeling the heat wave on its side, it could only manage to assume a posture of expending its energy.

Boom!

Glaceon's body soared high into the air, then after adjusting itself from its kneeling position, it managed to stand firmly on the ground not far away.

Watari: "Pounce on him!"

Dragonite let out a "roar" and swung its fiery fist at Glaceon.

Flames trailed behind, swirling and billowing.

Even though it's not a Fire-type Pokémon, Lance's Fire Punch is still quite powerful.

However, without Extreme Speed, Dragonite's attack speed isn't very fast, making it seem a bit clumsy—after all, its Speed ​​stat is only 80.

Ze Shu narrowed his eyes: "Get out of the way."

As Dragonite swung its fist, the prepared Glaceon could see clearly. At the Masked Base, Zeki had also given it a lot of dodging training. It nimbly lowered its body and took a step to the side, dodging Dragonite's two punches in succession.

Then, it accumulates energy and releases it!

Another beam of freezing light!

"Buyi!"

This time, the 'ice pillar slabs' surrounding Glaceon also peeked out slightly, and with Glaceon straining its face and 'giving it its all,' the ice beam looked like a laser cannon.

Without holding back, it slammed into the Dragonite's body!

! !

Amidst a chilling blue aura, Dragonite soared high into the air, but its small wings could no longer support its flight, and it crashed to the ground with a crisp sound of ice colliding.

The Dragonite, lying on the ground, looked extremely uncomfortable: "Huff, huff."

~

While he won't immediately lose his fighting ability, he won't be able to get up for a while.

Seeing this, Ze Shu said, "Shall we end the battle here? My Eevee is getting a little tired too."

Let's stop here.

Yu Longdu paused for a moment before forcing a smile: "Okay."

But he knew that if he continued fighting, he would most likely lose.

Although it wasn't his forte, open-field fighting, he still lost.

Unexpectedly, he suffered such a defeat right after being promoted to the top tier of stars—this is a bit hard for someone who hasn't challenged Kona many times yet.

After a moment of silence, Yulongdu suddenly said to Zeshu seriously, "I acknowledge you."

I don't understand why Watari suddenly said "approval".

But Ze Shu shrugged: "Hurry up and call Miss Joey over. I suppose we can get her from within the league?"

Du shook his head: "No need."

He walked over to the Dragonite that was lying on the ground clutching its stomach. Its body was emitting a faint green light. He placed his palm on the Dragonite's plump, soft belly. At that moment, the green light was transmitted from the Dragonite.

Dragonite also showed a comfortable expression: "Hoo hoo hoo NN~y"

Upon witnessing this scene.

Ze Shu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened: "No."

The power of Changpan?

But what surprised Sawaki was not the power of Tokiwa.

He watched Lance, who was naturally healing Dragonite.

Not a buddy!

Is Wataru an investigator? Isn't that a character from the anime? And judging from his behavior just now, he seemed quite humble, unlike the crazy person he was in the special episode.

Ze Shu still thought that the person in front of him, Du, was an ally.

But unexpectedly, he unleashed his Everlasting Power.

So you're Wataru from the special episode set?

So you're also a villain who wants to "destroy the world"?

Zeshu finally understood what Watari meant by "acknowledging" him.
