Chapter 774 Don't worry, someone is enjoying the peace and quiet for you.
In the early morning on the island of Asia, the sunlight gently shines on the white sand beach.
The waves lapped against the shore, making a rhythmic rustling sound, like a lullaby.
Li Shuwen and Shirona sat side by side on a beach chair, with a vast blue sea in front of them and lush tropical forest behind them.
The ferocity of the three sacred birds has subsided, and peace has returned to the island.
Li Shuwen and Shirona finally had time to enjoy their rare vacation.
Cynthia was wearing a light blue dress, a straw hat, and holding a glass of chilled coconut juice.
She leaned back in the beach chair, legs stretched out, toes buried in the soft white sand, eyes half-closed in contentment.
"This is what life is all about."
Li Shuwen sat beside her, gazing at the vast blue sea, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Mmm."
Wusong, while you are working hard, someone is enjoying the peace and quiet for you.
The fairy's ribbons fluttered in the seawater, and the ice fairy's tail shimmered with the light of ice crystals in the sunlight.
They chased each other, splashing water everywhere, having a great time.
Gengar floated on the water, its limbs outstretched, rising and falling with the waves.
His eyes were closed, and a satisfied smile played on his lips.
The wrasse lay on the rocks, half its body submerged in the seawater, its silvery-white shell gleaming softly in the sunlight.
The Scaled Dragon lay on the beach, its scales gleaming metallically in the sunlight, its purring even and deep.
The salamander lay beside him, its wings spread out like a giant red carpet.
It occasionally flicks its tail, scattering sand everywhere around it.
Milton sleeps suspended in mid-air, its body swaying gently with the sea breeze.
The blazing chicken buried itself completely in the sand.
Lucario squatted nearby, skillfully digging in the sand with its claws, piling more sand onto Blaziken.
The Blaziken made a comfortable humming sound, its eyes narrowing into slits.
The Golden Gyarados and the Greatsword drank a mouthful of seawater and then spat it out, competing to see who could go the furthest.
Wearing a bear costume, I happily ran on the sea.
Its round body stepped on the water's surface without sinking, creating ripples with every step.
The poison skeletal frog and the abandoned monkey lay side by side on a beach chair, wearing sunglasses and each holding a glass of iced soda.
He took a sip of soda and let out a satisfied sigh.
Onion Soldier and Azure Flame Blade Demon lay on the beach chairs next to them, both with their eyes closed, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.
Gallade reached out and cut open a coconut, taking small sips of the coconut water.
The electric monster uses electromagnetic levitation to fly into the sky and pick coconuts.
Then I asked Gallade to help me cut them open, and then I distributed them to everyone one by one.
They even thoughtfully used their "ice fist" technique to cool everyone down and give them chilled coconut water.
Gallade was stunned for a moment when it saw Electivire's move.
This guy's gluttony is even better than his!
Following the method of the electric monster, the chilled coconut water was indeed sweeter and more refreshing.
Looking at the scene, Cynthia remarked, "Your Pokémon really know how to enjoy themselves."
Li Shuwen smiled too. "They train too hard usually. It's a rare treat for them to come out and relax."
Cynthia took a sip of coconut juice, her gaze falling on the bear-like creature running across the water in the distance. "How does a bear-like creature manage to run on water?"
"It's powerful enough, fast enough, and has a bit of skill involved," Li Shuwen said. "Every step generates enough air cushion the moment it touches the water's surface to support itself."
Cynthia looked thoughtful. "Do you think my Lucario can handle it?"
Li Shuwen shrugged. "I'm afraid that won't work; Lucario's feet are too small."
The two chatted and drank coconut juice, watching the Pokémon play on the beach, and time seemed to slow down.
……
At 2 p.m., a speedboat came from the direction of the Orange Islands.
Yuuji stood at the bow of the ship, wearing a dark blue trainer's jacket, with six Poké Balls hanging from his waist.
His skin was tanned dark by the sea breeze, his eyes were sharp as knives, and he exuded the composure and confidence of a top trainer.
The speedboat docked, and Yongci jumped onto the beach and strode up to Li Shuwen.
"Mr. Li Shuwen, I am Yuji, the chief trainer of the Orange Islands. Welcome to the Orange Islands."
Yuji extended his hand and said in a loud voice, "I've long admired the name of the Master of Midas Touch and have come here to pay him a visit."
"I hope you can have a six-on-six match with me, so that I and my Pokémon can witness the power of the stronger."
Li Shuwen stood up from the beach chair and shook his hand. "It would be my honor, but six against six is too long. How about three against three?"
Yuji's eyes were filled with excitement.
"Can!"
Cynthia sat up from the beach chair and watched the two of them with interest.
"I will be the referee for this match!"
Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia, and Xiaojian suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Ash exclaimed excitedly, "I sensed a wave effect from a battle, so I rushed over here!"
Li Shuwen blinked. Waveguide power can be used like this?
Li Shuwen waved his hand, "Xiao Zhi, take a good look, it will help you."
Ash clenched his fist, his eyes filled with anticipation. "I'll definitely watch closely!"
The three-on-three battles will be held on the eastern beach of Asia Island.
The venue was a natural sandy beach, where Li Shuwen and Yongci stood facing each other, twenty meters apart.
Cynthia sat on a rock, holding a cup of coconut juice in her hand.
Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia, and Xiaojian stood beside her, excitedly waiting for the show to begin.
Yuji took a deep breath and threw the Poké Ball.
"Electabuzz!"
The Electabuzz clashed its fists together, producing a dull thud.
Li Shuwen raised his hand and threw out a Poké Ball. "Millardon."
Milton's gaze was calm as still water, and the invisible pressure made even Electabuzz's electric arcs dim slightly.
Yuuji gave the first order: "Electabuzz, Thunderbolt!"
Electabuzz's fists crackled with golden electricity as Thunderbolt transformed into a thick arc of lightning, slashing towards Milton.
Millerton flicked its tail, and the same 100,000 volts shot out.
Two golden bolts of lightning collided in mid-air. Electabuzz's 100,000 volts lasted only a moment before being swallowed up by Milton's current.
The golden arc of electricity rebounded, and Electabuzz was knocked back and sent flying.
Yuji's expression changed.
The difference in power between the same 100,000 volts is so great.
"Thunder!" he shouted.
The Electabuzz's horns flashed with a blinding white light, and a thick bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hurtling towards Milton.
Millerton looked up, a golden light flashing in its eyes, and the same thunderbolt shot out from the sharp horn on its head, meeting it head-on.
The two lightning bolts collided, and Electabuzz's lightning bolt was shattered once again. Milton's lightning, still powerful, struck Electabuzz, blasting open a huge sand crater.
"Why are his electric-attribute skills so powerful..." Sweat beaded on Yuuji's forehead. "Electric Shock Wave!"
Electabuzz unleashed countless tiny electric waves from its fists, which intertwined in the air to form a large net that enveloped Milton.
Milton's body also released electromagnetic waves, and the two electric nets collided in mid-air, with Milton's electromagnetic waves mercilessly engulfing Electabuzz's.
Golden lightning surged forth like a tide, and the Electabuzz was electrocuted, convulsing and kneeling on one knee on the beach.
Yuuji gritted his teeth. "Electabuzz, unleash our full power—Giga Impact!"
Electabuzz stood up, and its entire body began to rapidly gather electricity, enveloping it in a golden glow.
It transformed into a golden shooting star and hurtled towards Millerton.
"Lightning Strike," Li Shuwen said calmly.
Milton's body also crackled with electricity, the light even more dazzling and violent than that of the Electabuzz.
It transformed into a streak of blue-silver lightning, meeting the attack head-on.
boom--!!!
A golden burst of electricity exploded, and the Electabuzz was thrown out of the blast, crashing onto the beach.
Lying in the sandpit, his body was charred black, and his body was twitching.
Electabuzz's body crackled with blue-silver electricity. After letting out a roar, its muscles began to swell and its veins bulged.
The Midas Touch has been triggered!
Yuji's eyes lit up.
"Electabuzz, your power has increased significantly after absorbing the electricity! Use Thunder Punch!"
Electabuzz sprang up from the sandpit, the golden lightning on its right fist becoming even more intense, almost solidifying.
It rushed toward Millerton at such a speed that it left a trail of afterimages on the beach.
"Dragon Claw." Li Shuwen's voice remained calm.
Milton's right claw glowed with deep blue dragon energy, its light as deep and unfathomable as it faced Electabuzz.
boom.
The Electabuzz was sent flying by a single claw and could not get up again.
Cynthia waved her hand, "Electabuzz is unable to battle, Milton wins."
Yuuji recalled Electabuzz. "Electabuzz, you did a great job."
"Gengar, it's up to you."
Li Shuwen raised his hand to recall Milton and threw out a second Poké Ball. "Azure Blade Demon."
"Gengar, Shadow Ball!" Yūji commanded.
Gengar clasped its hands together in front of its chest, and a jet-black shadow ball quickly condensed, which it then blasted towards Azureflame Blade Ghost.
"Shadow Claw," Li Shuwen said calmly.
Azure Flame Blade Demon's right sword glowed with a dark purple light, and with a single slash, the Shadow Orb was cut in two from the very center.
The two halves of the Shadow Orb exploded behind the Azure Flame Blade Demon, turning into two clouds of black smoke.
Yuji's eyes widened. "T-It was cut open? The Shadow Sphere was cut open by the sword?"
Gengar's smile froze on his face as he stared at Azure Flame Blade Ghost with disbelief in his eyes.
"Surprise attack by stealth!" Li Shuwen ordered.
The figure of Azure Flame Blade Demon disappeared from the spot.
"Shadow of the Night - Defense!" Yuji's voice was urgent.
Gengar released a black veil from its body, completely enveloping it.
Azure Flame Blade Demon appeared from the void, its twin swords striking the curtain and splitting it apart.
Gengar's body began to tremble, a hint of fear flashed in its eyes, and then the fear was replaced by the desire to break through.
His body glowed with purple light as he entered another dimension, his twin swords slashing through the air.
Gengar emerged from behind Azure Blademon, its claws, imbued with dark energy, striking Azure Blademon's back hard.
boom!
Azure Flame Blade Demon was knocked away, tumbling twice in the air before staggering a few steps upon landing.
Yuji's eyes were full of hope. "Gengar, well done!"
Gengar landed, panting heavily, a smug smile on its face.
The Azure Flame Blade Demon's body glowed with a purple light, and its speed suddenly increased dramatically.
Charging towards Gengar, the twin swords transformed into countless afterimages. Before Gengar could even unleash its Phantom Assault, it was struck in the chest by a single sword strike.
boom!
Gengar was sent flying backwards, instantly killed.
Cynthia said calmly, "Gengar is unable to battle."
Li Shuwen began, "Gengar's stamina is a bit lacking. Its speed and strength are good, but its stamina is insufficient, making it unable to fight a prolonged battle."
"You should try to improve his stamina. In addition to training, you can feed him more foods rich in vitality."
Yuji seemed thoughtful. "Thank you."
He recalled Gengar to its Poké Ball, gripping the last one tightly. "Dragonite, last match."
Li Shuwen raised his hand and threw out a Poké Ball. "Toxapex."
The Salamence stared at the Dragonite opposite it, its eyes filled with fighting spirit.
"Dragonite, Dragon Breath!" Yuji commanded.
Dragonite opened its mouth, and a golden dragon breath shot out, heading towards the Salamence.
"Dodge, Dragon's Breath," Li Shuwen said calmly.
The Salamence turned sideways, a golden dragon breath swept past it, and then it opened its mouth and shot a deep blue dragon breath towards the Dragonite.
Dragonite flapped its wings, and its dragon breath passed through the air beneath them, exploding on the sea behind it and creating a column of water.
Two Dragon-type Pokémon flew through the sky like supersonic fighter jets.
Left turn, right turn, climb, dive—each maneuver was accompanied by a breath of dragon's breath.
Dragon breath intertwined in the sky, exploding into clouds of colorful smoke.
"Dragon Pulse!" Yuuji's voice rose.
A golden light shone from deep within Dragonite's throat, and Dragon Pulse condensed into a solid beam of light, blasting towards Salamence.
"Dragon Pulse!" Li Shuwen's voice rang out at the same time.
A deep blue light shone from deep within the salamander's throat, and the Dragon Pulse transformed into a dark blue pillar of light.
The two dragon-like energy waves collided in mid-air, exploding into a blinding burst of light.
The shockwave tore the surrounding clouds to shreds, and a huge crater was blasted into the sea.
"Dragon God Dive!" Yuji's voice was hoarse.
Dragonite's body was enveloped in golden dragon energy, transforming into a ferocious golden dragon that charged towards Salamence.
"The swallows return." Li Shuwen's voice was calm.
The salamander's figure drew an arc in the air, an arc that was both strange and beautiful, passing under the golden dragon's claws and circling behind him.
The Salamence slammed into the Dragonite's back.
boom!
The Dragonite was knocked forward and crashed headfirst into the beach.
"Meteor Shower!" Li Shuwen ordered.
The Salamence opened its mouth and spat out a golden energy ball, which exploded into countless golden meteors that struck the Dragonite.
Yuji's eyes widened.
"Dragonite, danger!"
Dragonite's body glowed white, and it burst forth with incredible speed, bursting out of the meteor shower.
It crashed headfirst into a giant salamander!
boom!
The salamander was knocked away, tumbling several times in the air before crashing into the sea, creating a huge splash.
"Dragon God Dive!" Li Shuwen's voice rose.
The Salamence, brimming with fighting spirit, charged towards Dragonite, its body enveloped in even more ferocious, deep blue dragon energy.
"We'll also use Dragon God Dive!"
Dragonite's body was enveloped in golden dragon energy, and the two dragon gods swooped down and collided in mid-air.
boom--!!!
The shockwave blasted a huge circular depression into the sea surface, causing the seawater to surge outwards and creating giant waves tens of meters high.
As the light faded, the two figures fell from the sky simultaneously.
Dragonite crashed onto the beach, its body charred black. It struggled to get up, using its claws to prop itself up, but fell back down and couldn't stand up.
The salamander crashed onto the sea surface, splashing up a huge spray of water.
He swam slowly ashore from the sea, panting heavily, his eyes still bright.
Cynthia stood up from the reef, looked at the Dragonite lying on the beach, and gently shook her head.
"Dragonite is unable to battle!"
"The overly comfortable environment made you and Dragonite too complacent. Dragonite has good stamina and willpower, but at the crucial moment, it failed to squeeze out its last bit of strength."
Ash jumped up. "That was amazing! Shuwen's Salamence was incredible! Yuji's Dragonite was incredible too! I can't wait to challenge Yuji!"
Xiaoxia poured cold water on the idea. "Mr. Yuji just triggered Midas Touch, so his Dragonite will definitely become much stronger. Instead of thinking about how to improve your Pokémon, you can't beat Mr. Yuji with just enthusiasm."
Ash clenched his fist and said earnestly, "I'll definitely work hard with Pikachu! Pikachu, we'll win, right?"
Pikachu perched on his shoulder, raising its little paw. "Pika pika!"
Yuji approached Li Shuwen. "Mr. Shuwen, thank you. This battle showed me my shortcomings, but it also showed me the potential of Pokémon."
Li Shuwen nodded. "Your Pokémon foundation is very good. As long as you find the right direction, you'll improve very quickly."
Yongci nodded, took a wooden box out of his backpack, and handed it to Li Shuwen.
"This is a specialty of the Orange Islands, a material for breeding Pokémon. It's of the highest quality, please accept it."
Li Shuwen did not refuse. "Thank you."
Yuji smiled. "I should be thanking you."
He turned and walked towards the speedboat, then stopped after a few steps. "Mr. Li Shuwen, Ms. Shirona, next time you come to the Orange Islands, you must visit my home. I'll treat you to the freshest seafood."
Li Shuwen nodded. "Okay."
Cynthia smiled too. "Definitely."
The speedboat pulled away from the beach, and Yuji stood at the bow, waving to them.
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the sea and onto his tall, straight back.
The sharpness that had appeared in his eyes had vanished, replaced by a calm and thoughtful demeanor.
Cynthia walked over to Li Shuwen and took his arm. "Yuji is a very good person. He's capable, has good manners, and is open to advice."
Li Shuwen nodded. "Indeed."
Being able to accept other people's opinions is not an easy thing.
……
The setting sun slowly sank below the horizon, turning the sky a golden-red hue.
Cynthia rested her head on Li Shuwen's shoulder. "This trip was really worth it."
Li Shuwen nodded. "Mm."
The two of them leaned against each other quietly, watching the sunset sink into the sea and the stars light up one by one.
