Chapter 221 Crushing (4k)

Vladarina lowered his posture and almost asked Luo Mu to have a Pokémon battle with him, which immediately surprised the guests around him.

Even Karuna looked at Vladali in surprise, her red rosy lips opening and closing: "It doesn't look like there is any grudge between them, why is Representative Vladali so obsessed with fighting him?"

He even planned to give away the precious Evolution Keystone unconditionally.

Shimi responded softly: "Maybe he wants to win him over. Champion-level trainers in the Padia region don't have any real power or position, at least Luo Mu doesn't have that."

"That means Mr. Luo Mu is a free agent. No wonder Representative Vladari is so radical."

Karuno suddenly felt that everything could be explained. She had also heard that Vladali wanted to search for some outstanding trainers for the research institute.

If those trainers who are still growing are just unpolished jades, then for Fladali, Luo Mu is the rarest gem that has completely blossomed.

Even Kalno and Shimi beside him noticed Vladali's longing gaze.

Although they felt that Vladali was a little unfamiliar now, his impression as a great philanthropist still played a role in their minds, rationalizing this unfamiliarity, thinking that it was probably because Vladali was too eager for talent.

Kalno and Shimi were right. Vladali was indeed eager for talent. Ever since he learned from Shimi about Luomu's achievements as a trainer and the fact that he was still a free agent, Vladali had been thinking about whether he could bring Luomu into his camp.

Just like when he recruited Pakira, he established a connection with Luo Mu through battles and gifts, and then when the time was right, he invited him to the Fradali Institute, explained his ideals to Luo Mu and invited him to join his organization, wanting him to come to his world.

As long as he has the fighting force of Luo Mu, his plan can be realized at a faster speed, and many actions that he cannot carry out due to his identity can be handed over to Luo Mu.

There is no doubt that Vladali is now craving for talents like Luo Mu. He wants to get Luo Mu to help him fulfill his long-cherished wish.

Being stared at by Vladali with longing eyes, Luo Mu admitted that he was a little panicked, because that look was too naked and aggressive.

Fortunately, Fladali seemed to have noticed his own loss of composure and suppressed his emotions in an instant. He still smiled and held up the Evolution Keystone, waiting for Luo Mu's response.

Luo Mu admitted that he definitely desired the Evolution Keystone. Regardless of whether there was any hidden trick of Fladali on the Evolution Keystone, at least he did not really want to obtain the important item that proved his bond with Swampert from the villain BOSS Fladali.

"I can accept the battle invitation, but please ask Representative Fladari to take back the Evolution Keystone. It's just a Pokémon battle with me. There's no need to pay such a huge price."

The clear voice reached the ears of every guest present without the need for a microphone. They were startled at first, and then everyone applauded in unison.

They were applauding for the anticipation of the upcoming battle that would feast their eyes, and also for Luo Mu's carefree attitude towards the precious Evolution Key.

Fladali was silent for a moment, and his right hand holding the Evolution Keystone dropped down. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

The fight was held in the area behind the restaurant that Zhimi had reserved at the rear of the hall.

The guests moved to the brightly lit open-air battle field. Waiters with polite smiles moved among the crowd, and the wine glasses on the trays were picked up and put down.

As the final preparations were being made, the guests, holding their glasses, began to chat.

"Does Representative Vladari really want to fight that trainer? He's just a researcher, right?"

"It is said that the Flame Lion represented by Fladali is actually quite strong, otherwise he wouldn't have made friends with so many trainers."

"By the way, did you see that? I happened to be right next to that champion-level trainer."

"I saw it too. He looks to be around 18 or 19 years old. So young!"

"Stop talking, they're on stage!"

The spotlights were lit up on both sides at the same time under the control of the lighting technician. Vladali and Luo Mu, who had changed into easy-to-move suit vests, stood on both sides of the venue following the lights.

Famous trainers such as Kalno, Shimi, and Blaziken stood at a closer position to observe.

Shimi acted as the referee for the exhibition match. After confirming that the two were ready, he shouted through the loudspeaker, "Please release your Pokémon, both parties."

"It's your turn, Dragonite."

Luo Mu threw the Poké Ball into the sky, a dazzling white light lit up, and Dragonite flapped its wings and hovered in the air. The powerful aura surrounding Dragonite made everyone understand that its strength was by no means ordinary.

Fladali had already made the decision during the preparation time. No matter what, the existence of Gyarados cannot be exposed now, and his signature Pokémon, Infernape, is the best choice.

The scorching flames that illuminated the night lit up, and the Fire Lion, with red and yellow mane and a kingly temperament, landed nimbly on the ground.

"Roar!!"

Infernape stared confidently at Dragonite in the sky. Facing Dragonite's mighty power that declared its status, it chose to respond with a domineering roar without showing any weakness.

Karuna chuckled and said, "The characteristic "overconfidence" can play an unexpected role in this situation."

Shimi nodded slightly: "The fighting spirit of both sides is just like a burning art, even I can't help but get excited."

Karen, wearing an evening gown, took out a Poké Ball. Amidst the flashing white light, a green figure with a very unique temperament appeared.

Kalune smiled and said, "The handling of the aftermath of the battle will be left to Gardevoir."

As soon as Karen finished speaking, Gardevoir controlled the surging mental energy to open a barrier to block the gusts of air created by the battle between the two Pokémon over there.

"Fire Fang!"

"Dragon Claw!"

The raging flames in front of the Fire Lion suddenly gathered into huge flaming teeth, which closed directly at the green dragon claws that Dragonite swung in the air.

boom!
A violent energy explosion swept across, and black smoke rose up under the light. Both Pokémon took several steps back in the black smoke to relieve each other's force.

In the first tentative confrontation, Luo Mu narrowed his eyes and concluded that the power of the Flame Lion was probably at the level of the main force of the first and second armies of the Four Heavenly Kings.

As for the Gyarados that didn't show up, it might be even stronger with mega evolution.

Fradali is truly a hidden ambitious man.

Over there, Fladali gave a calm command: "Spray flames!"

A burning fighting spirit flashed in the eyes of the Flame Lion, and it used its best moves. The scorching flames were spewed out by the Flame Lion. The surrounding air began to distort due to the sudden increase in temperature. The surging flames turned into a sea of ​​fire that swept towards Dragonite.

"Fight fire with fire, spray flames!"

As a Dragonite who is proficient in many attribute moves, he naturally has some experience in jetting flames. After a moment of stalemate, the sea of ​​fire, which is even larger than that of Infernape, instantly swallowed up Infernape's jet of flames and swept towards it with a fierce momentum.

The Inferno Lion remained calm in the face of danger. It immediately exerted its strength with its limb muscles and leaped high into the air. It nimbly crossed the sea of ​​fire and charged towards Dragonite without hesitation.

As the Flame Lion charged, endless flames shot up into the sky, almost lighting up half of the night sky. The violent energy spread throughout its body. This was undoubtedly a high-powered fire-attribute move - Flame Charge. Dragonite naturally had no reason to retreat, and it was absolutely confident in both long-range and close combat.

The surging dragon energy burned and turned into flames, which gathered into a ferocious blue dragon shadow. Encased in terrifying murderous aura, Dragonite slammed into the Infernape with absolute dominance.

Bang - boom!

Under the trembling gazes of the surrounding guests, Infernape and Dragonite clashed in an instant. The violent energy collision and pure power competition brought about visible shock waves that spread to the surroundings. Flames and dragon flames shot up into the sky, and the deafening roar made people take a few steps back to avoid being affected by the aftermath.

clap clap clap-

The aftermath of the collision lifted the ground, and countless small stones hidden in the soil turned into raindrops that shot densely around and hit the barrier set up by Gardevoir.

There was a momentary fluctuation in Gardevoir's calm gaze. Whether it was Infernape or Dragonite, their power was beyond Gardevoir's expectations.

"Look, has the momentum of the flame been suppressed?"

Someone suddenly spoke in surprise, and everyone's attention immediately focused on the center of the battle between Dragonite and Infernape.

After several clashes between the two sides, the situation changed again.

There was something obviously wrong with the Flame Lion's expression at this moment. Its limbs were deeply embedded in the mud, as if it was bearing some terrifying force.

The fiercely burning flames around Infernape's body took a sharp turn from being on equal terms with Dragonite. The size of its flames continued to shrink, while Dragonite still maintained its initial momentum, and even strengthened it a bit.

The gap in strength was clearly revealed at this moment.

Your full strength is just my normal strength.

Shimi, who had this idea suddenly occurred to him for some reason, exclaimed: "Sure enough, his Dragonite is as powerful as that Azure Blade Demon."

The Infernape represented by Fradi is very strong, but it is still far behind Luo Mu's Dragonite.

Karuna sipped the edge of the wine glass and left a lip print: "This pure power belonging to the dragon attribute Pokémon reminds me of the dragon envoy in the Kanto region."

"Once the Flame Lions represented by Fradili fall into a disadvantage, it will be difficult to turn the situation around."

The result was as Kalno had expected. Seeing that Infernape could no longer hold on, under Luo Mu's command, Dragonite increased its energy output again. The ferocious dragon-shaped energy shadow completely engulfed the raging flames that soared into the sky, and Infernape's body was blown away by this great force and fell to the ground in a mess.

The scarred Infernape gasped and looked with some fear at the smoke raised by the explosion, and at the figure of Dragonite who easily created a storm and swept away the smoke and the unpleasant smell.

In the battle just now, Dragonite was almost playing with it. Whatever moves it used, Dragonite would use similar moves to fight back, just like the power of skillfully controlling the flow of wind, which Dragonite had never used at all.

This discovery made the always proud Flame Lion a little frustrated.

At this time, Zhimi stood up and said loudly: "The battle ends here!"

The purpose of an exhibition match is to stop at the right time and save face for both parties.

But everyone present seemed to have reached the same understanding in their hearts - this battle was an overwhelming victory for Luo Mu and Dragonite, and the title of champion-level trainer was well deserved.

But this is not surprising. After all, Luo Mu is a trainer who specializes in combat. As a researcher, it is already an outstanding performance for Representative Fladali to be able to fight him like this.

Professionals brought ground-type Pokémon to start repairing the messy venue destroyed by Dragonite and Infernape, but after a while, the battle part of the battle dinner was restarted, and trainers fought each other, learned from each other's progress, and exchanged experiences.

This is also the reason why Zhimi hosted this dinner.

The battle between the arriving gym owner Defu and Gejihua, the battle between the Four Heavenly Kings Dorasena and the Four Heavenly Kings Yankai, and even the exhibition match between the host Four Heavenly Kings Shimi and the champion Kaluna.

The rich battles that were just right and yet still entertaining were a feast for the eyes of everyone, and there was even applause when Flammel Mask's Super Flammel defeated the Gym Leader and Fortress Duke Chaklo's Talonosaurus.

It turns out that this guy in strange clothes seems to be quite powerful?

But the battle that impressed all the guests the most was undoubtedly the powerful and wild battle between Luo Mu and Vladali.

Different from the gorgeous fighting performances that were like social interactions, this kind of head-on battle shook their minds more.

During the voting process, most people tacitly cast their votes for those two people.

hall.

After the battle with Fradili, Luo Mu commanded Arcanine to fight a few rounds with some strangers, which gained him some combat experience. But then he lost interest in fighting and simply ran to the hall to feast with Dragonite and Arcanine, while watching other people's fights while eating.

The exhibition match between Kalno and Shimi was the most interesting in Luo Mu's opinion. Neither of them used their trump cards. Kalno sent out the Pumpkin Monster who single-handedly killed Watari's Gyarados in the Eight Masters Tournament in the future, while Shimi sent out the somewhat unprepossessing Octopus Barrel.

That octopus barrel is very interesting. It can actually track the Pumpkin Monster in the state of latent attack by using the ink it sprays. This is probably one of the results of Shimi's practice.

Just when Luo Mu was eating happily, footsteps were heard. Luo Mu looked up and found it was Vladali wearing a suit and vest.

After the battle, Vladali said a few polite words to him and then disappeared. To be honest, Luo Mu thought he had given up, but he didn't expect that this time Vladali would take the initiative to find him and start a private chat.

"Can you talk to me for a few minutes?" Vladali went straight to the point.

Luo Mu swallowed the cake in his mouth, picked up a beautifully folded napkin from the table beside him, wiped the corners of his mouth, and nodded: "Sure."

Vladali smiled, pulled over a chair and sat next to Luo Mu, took out a round stone with colorful patterns from his vest pocket and handed it to Luo Mu.

Luo Mu frowned and refused: "I should have rejected you."

Vladali shook his head: "This is not the evolution keystone I took out. This is a mysterious gift from the Zhimi dinner. After their unanimous decision, it belongs to us."

"As you can see, I already have the Evolution Keystone, so this one is naturally yours."

Fladali took out another evolution key stone from the lining. The two evolution key stones emitted a mysterious halo under the light, full of charm.

"Then I would be disrespectful."

Luo Mu thought about it for a while and finally accepted the Evolution Key Stone as a prize from Zhimi’s dinner party. The system in his mind also indicated that there was no problem with the Evolution Key Stone.

Holding the cool and smooth keystone in his hand, Luo Mu did not expect that he could gather all the conditions for super evolution so easily. This also means that Swampert's strength will take a leap forward.
But Vladali obviously didn't come just to give the keystone. After thinking for a while, he said, "To be honest, I want to get you."

Luo Mu: “.Ah?”

　I'm still two hundred monthly votes away from reaching one thousand monthly votes. To be honest, I want to try to ask for a vote.

　　If you can get 1000 monthly tickets before the beginning of the month, I will add three more chapters. Please help the kids~
