FYN Chapter 615 I'll use the Midas Touch?
Chapter 615 I'll use the Midas Touch?
Li Shuwen was lucky; he drew number 1 and was the first to go.
His opponent, number 24, is a brown-haired girl who likes Grass-type Pokémon.
Cai Zhong, holding ball number 24, stared wide-eyed in shock. "I got the Midas touch?!"
Because Cynthia rarely takes action, Cai Zhong has fully witnessed Li Shuwen's strength.
Even though he knew he couldn't win, Cai Zhong couldn't just admit defeat.
We must not let Li Shuwen score 6 points, even if it costs us the reputation of Baidai Dojo!
After the draw, a young man with blue and white hair tossed the number 15 ball in his hand.
"It's a pity I didn't draw number 24, otherwise I would really like to be the first to experience just how amazing the Midas Touch that everyone is praising is."
"Please don't withdraw from the competition before it's even your turn to fight me."
This guy is the Flying-type Gym Leader, Serafie.
Serafie had an arrogant expression, believing himself to be quite strong. He was determined to prove his strength in this gym ranking tournament!
He only became the gym leader after winning the regional tournament.
Trainers like Li Shuwen, who have never won any major competitions, suddenly started boasting about some kind of Midas touch that can help people enhance their strength.
They rely entirely on marketing hype and have no real strength whatsoever.
He wanted to make everyone in Sinnoh realize, through the Gym Rankings, that he, Celafie, was the handsome and powerful Gym Leader!
He wasn't confident he could win against Electric, but that was because of type advantage.
Cai Zhong, as Li Shuwen's rival, was the first to be unhappy.
"I know you, known as the Wings of the Sky, but among all these gym leaders, your strength is probably not quite at the top level, is it?"
"So arrogant, I'm afraid you'll withdraw from the competition before you even reach the point of facing my opponent."
If someone withdraws from the competition, everyone's points against this gym owner will be counted as 6 points.
More than the points lost due to withdrawal, everyone was happy that the league funds originally belonging to this dojo would be distributed to them.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, no one can avoid participating in the qualifying rounds.
This is why Li Shuwen always called Li Dazhuang "Old Man with Lung Mist".
The losses suffered by the Curtain Dojo are not something he could win back by playing games at the arcade.
Losses in status, reputation, money, and every other aspect.
The reason why Serafi stood up to criticize Li Shuwen was because the performance of the Curtain Dojo over the years has indeed been terrible.
It is true that Li Shuwen does not have any high-profile honors to his name.
As for Cynthia's boyfriend, his identity makes him seem more like a gigolo who lives off women.
Li Shuwen didn't intend to explain anything, he just said calmly, "This dojo ranking tournament will prove it to everyone."
Seraf snorted coldly, "Then I'll open my eyes wide and see just how powerful the Midas Touch really is."
"Could this work for us museum owners?"
After Serafie left, an old friend of Li Shuwen came over.
"Shuwen, it's been a long time."
Li Shuwen smiled. "Leng Feng, congratulations on becoming the head of the academy!"
Leng Feng was very moved, "The process of establishing my dojo was not very smooth, but suddenly I heard about your Midas touch."
"I don't know why, but after that, the whole process suddenly went smoothly."
"I was lucky enough to catch a powerful Fighting-type Pokémon, which helped me successfully build a gym in my hometown, Wolf Town."
Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. "Leng Feng, the head of the Wolf Warrior Dojo, what a great name!"
Leng Feng's number is 13, and Li Shuwen is looking forward to his match.
Leng Feng said calmly, "I know your strength. I'll teach that guy a lesson for you first, so he'll know what's what."
"Even flight attributes are useless against our fighting gym!"
Li Shuwen smiled slightly, "Then thank you."
The vegetable seeds returned to Piao Tai's side, like flowers wilting in the summer heat.
"Piao Tai, how am I supposed to play tomorrow?"
Piao Tai said calmly, "Don't overthink it. Just give it your all and leave no regrets!"
Cai Zhong immediately perked up, "That's right! I'll give it my all, maybe we still have a chance to win!"
Seeing that Cai Zhong had suddenly become so confident, Piao Tai didn't want to discourage her.
Let the vegetable seed maintain this confidence as it enters the arena.
Before the competition even started on the second day, a large number of spectators had already flooded into the arena.
This year's gym rankings have featured some of the two Sinnoh powerhouses, Denji and Li Shuwen.
Although Li Shuwen attempted to include Wusong and Daye to form the Sinnoh Four Beauties.
But the fans don't accept it!
Wusong is alright, but Daye's appearance can only be described as "good-looking".
The first match is Li Shuwen versus Cai Zhong, a battle between a handsome guy and a beautiful girl.
His reputation as a Midas Touch is known even to ordinary people who don't follow Pokémon battles.
"Welcome everyone to the Dojo Ranking Tournament. The first match will be brought to us by our Hundred-Generation Flower, Vegetable Seed Dojo Master, and our renowned Midas Touch, Li Shuwen Dojo Master."
"I believe they will definitely bring you a wonderful match."
The vegetable seed gets the first attack and sends out its Pokémon first.
For vegetable selection, we chose the Queen of the Night flower.
The bright and large flowers on top indicate that the vegetable seed has cultivated the night-blooming cereus to an excellent degree.
Li Shuwen chose Blaziken as his first choice, as its type is more advantageous against Grass-type opponents.
"Queen of the Night, paralyzing powder!" Cai Zhong gave the order first, her voice clear and bright.
The enormous flower atop the Queen of the Night suddenly trembled!
Countless powders shimmering with a subtle yellow-green fluorescent light swept out from the flower's stamen, instantly transforming into a vast expanse of pale yellow mist.
Li Shuwen calmly gave the order, "Flash Charge!"
Blaziken took a deep breath, and the surging fire-type energy within it exploded.
Blazing flames erupted from every pore of the Blaziken's body, instantly enveloping it completely.
"boom!"
Only a blast of air and charred footprints remained in its place as Blaziken transformed into a violent streak of flame!
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss—!!!"
When pollen comes into contact with the Blaziken's extremely hot, fiery coat, it is instantly burned and carbonized, turning into inconspicuous specks of black ash that drift away.
"What?!" A look of astonishment flashed in Cai Zhong's eyes. The paralyzing powder of the Queen of the Night Flower had been so brutally broken!
Blaziken's charge speed is just too fast!
Almost the instant it pierced through the pink mist, the burning figure had already approached the Queen of the Night.
"Queen of the Night, Dance of the Flowers!" Cai Zhong commanded urgently; this was the final defense and counterattack.
The Queen of the Night Flower sensed a deadly threat and channeled all its power into the flower on its head.
Instantly, dazzling, colorful petals burst forth from the flower's center like a fountain, forming a surging torrent of petals, like sharp blades driven by a storm.
With a murderous intent emanating from her, she swept towards the nearby Blaziken, attempting to halt its momentum and engulf it.
However, this beautiful defense appears so fragile in the face of Blaziken's all-out, unstoppable Flame Charge!
"Bang! Crack! Sizzle—!"
The petals' cutting and obstruction only dimmed the flames on the Blaziken's body for a moment before shattering under the immense impact and high temperature.
"Thump—!!!"
The flower was as if it had been hit head-on by a heavy truck. It flew uncontrollably off the ground, tracing an arc before crashing heavily to the edge of the field, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"A...a giant flower!" Cai Zhong exclaimed in distress.
