Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 315 It still takes Midas touch!

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow curiously, "What exactly is this 'Battle at the Summit of Heavenly Crowns' you're talking about?"

With exaggerated gestures, Yann introduced, "The trainers who participated in the final battle at the top of the world have all raised at least one Pokémon that is skilled in swordsmanship."

"The Battle of the Crown is held annually, and the champion is a revered great swordsman among swordsmen throughout the Sinnoh region!"

Li Shuwen's eyes lit up; this decisive battle at the top of the Heavenly Crown sounded very interesting.

It's also very suitable for Farfetch'd and Gallade to participate in.

Li Shuwen immediately pressed, "When does the decisive battle at the summit of Tianguan begin?"

"On the fifteenth of August, the night of the full moon, only two trainers can walk to the arena at the top of the mountain to have a duel between the Great Swordmasters."

"This year, the final Grandmaster will be decided. Next year will be the once-in-a-decade Night of the Sword God, a competition that only Grandmasters can participate in."

"Ordinary trainers don't even have the right to watch!"

Li Shuwen nodded. "On August 15th, I will participate in the Battle of the Crown Peak competition."

Yaen shook his head. "The competition starts at 12:00 on August 14th, and you need to pass the Grand Swordsman's test to participate."

"The closest great swordsman to Veilstone City lives in God Town. She is Cynthia, one of the Elite Four. Once you gain her approval, you can participate in the tournament."

Li Shuwen blinked. "Cynthia is a great swordswoman?"

What Pokémon did she use in the competition?

Li Shuwen suddenly wanted... a certain Pokémon that was very good at using Swords Dance.

Li Shuwen's expression was somewhat strange. "Did Cynthia use Garchomp in the competition?"

Yann nodded. "I was fortunate enough to follow my grandfather and witness firsthand the final battle for the crown that Cynthia participated in!"

"Garuda is so cool!"

Li Shuwen nodded. The Garchomp's two large shark fins did indeed resemble two supreme, swift swords.

With her Sword Dance enhanced and combined with her Dragon-type Double Slash, who can stop Cynthia?

After seeing Yaen off, Li Shuwen applied medicine to the three Pokémon participating in the competition and prepared a Pokémon food.

They went back to continue the battle.

This time, Li Shuwen chose to start with the Poison Skull Frog.

Through intensive training, the poison skeletal frog has developed muscle memory.

When the challenger's Pokémon launches an attack, Toxtricita reacts instinctively.

Avoid the attack and deliver a poisoned blow to the opponent.

The challengers, Staraptor and Golduck, were quickly eliminated.

It wasn't until the third Pokémon entered the fray that Toxicroak managed to regain some control of its muscle memory.

"Go, Çalhan!"

Li Shuwen nodded. This Çalhana has good spirits and should perform well.

"Poison Skull Frog, Brick Breaker!"

The Poison Skull Frog charged forward quickly and slashed at Çalem with its paw.

Çalhan raised his arm, but the Poison Skull Frog's powerful strength pressed both arms onto Çalhan's shoulders.

Çalem tried to push away the Poison Skull Frog's hand.

But Çalem felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders.

Poison Skull Frog grinned. With Li Shuwen, a super-strong athlete, how could Poison Skull Frog's strength be lacking?

He kicked Çalhan in the chest, and Çalhan rolled several times on the ground in a sorry state.

Çalhanouk quickly got up, and the red-haired man immediately gave the command, "Çalhanouk, yoga pose!"

Çalhan's body twisted into some peculiar postures, and Li Shuwen felt that Çalhan's strength had increased rapidly.

In just one second, Çalem managed to perform two yoga poses.

That's not simple!

"Poison Skull Frog, Sludge Bomb!"

"Avoid the illusionary ray!"

Charem moved nimbly, dodging the eight clumps of mud spat out by the Poison Skull Frog.

With hands clasped together, a seven-colored ray of light was immediately released.

The Poison Skull Frog leaped to the left, easily avoiding the illusionary beam.

"A surprise attack!"

The Poison Skull Frog transformed into a blue shadow, rushing towards Çalem and stabbing its hand into Çalem's soft abdomen.

Çalhan folded himself into an acute angle.

Çalhöyüm was badly injured and struggled to his feet, supporting himself with his hands.

The trembling hands and feet proved that Çalem was already a dying candle, with little fighting power left.

"Charem, we've come this far with great difficulty, and I know you don't want to fall here!"

"For our dream, Çalhöyük, let's go one more time!"

Çalhan's eyes shone brightly, and he slowly clasped his hands together.

A layer of hazy white light bloomed, and Çalem's wounds quickly healed, his limbs regaining their strength.

Red Hair was extremely excited, "Charem, you've learned to regenerate!"

The surrounding audience gasped. Was this the power of the Midas Touch?

It's amazing that Çalhan has mastered such a difficult skill as self-regeneration.

It takes a Midas touch!

Damn it, why wasn't I the one being challenged!

This is the sentiment of all the trainers watching the battle.

Surprisingly, the first challenge, the arrogant guy, didn't trigger Midas touch.

Ironically, it was the second red-haired guy who was lucky enough to trigger the Midas Touch.

In fact, the breakthrough in the power of Pidgeot's Last Breath was largely due to the pressure exerted on Pidgeot by Combusken.

Generally speaking, only charemus who have undergone rigorous ascetic training can master self-regeneration.

Through cruel physical torture, and amidst extreme pain, the body is allowed to unleash a new vitality.

"Charem, Mind Blast!"

It's not just about mastering self-regeneration; breakthroughs in willpower drive the growth of mental strength.

The power of the mental hammer increased by three points.

Unfortunately, the Poison Skull Frog simply turned its body and appeared behind Çalem.

He knocked Çalhan down with a single blow.

Red Hair's face turned black. What's with that Poison Skull Frog trying to learn Swallow Return?

The audience gasped again, never expecting that the Poison Skull Frog would possess such a trump card as the Swallow Return.

As expected of the owner of the library, he's really something!

Considering that Çalem had accumulated enough experience and successfully mastered self-regeneration, Li Shuwen also awarded them badges.

Throughout the day, Li Shuwen even sent out Eevee and Baby Dragon to battle.

They had only received twenty challengers.

Li Shuwen smiled and said to the trainers who had been watching the battle all day, "It's getting late. Everyone has had dinner at the Veiled Gym, so go back and rest."

"The dojo battles will resume as normal tomorrow. We will arrange the matches according to the order in which everyone registered. The specific challenge list has been posted on the notice board at the main entrance."

"After you finish eating, you can go and take a look around. Those who need to train can train, and those who need to train can train. Then come back to the Veil Dojo on the day of the competition."

If we were to host twenty trainers at once again, like today,

Furthermore, they determine whether to award badges based on various indicators of their performance when facing Pokémon with significantly different strength levels.

It really puts Li Shuwen's eyesight to the test.

Even if Li Shuwen can withstand it, his Pokémon can't.

All training sessions tonight must be cancelled.

They even mentioned going to the flower nursery to check out when would be a good time to invite Bai Cai there for a date.

The only thing I could do was call the owner to inquire about the condition of the flower nursery.

Hopefully, the three bees at Ziyou haven't harvested any peaches yet.

When Li Shuwen called, the owner was very welcoming.

"Brother Shuwen, the three bees have successfully evolved into a queen bee. I know you're busy, so I didn't want to bother you by calling."

"The three bees didn't cause any trouble; they handed over all three of their bees to the queen bee."

Li Shuwen breathed a sigh of relief; that was good.
