Lin Ruo watched the Ice Devil being easily defeated, and the burden weighing on her heart seemed to lift in an instant.
"Xiaofeng, you've been hiding your strength. If I'm not mistaken, Arcanine isn't your strongest trump card;
this Pokémon is. No wonder you've been hiding it until now. From the very beginning, your strength has been superior to mine."
Jun Shafeng heard Lin Ruo's speculation, but he neither denied nor acknowledged it.
He knew that although Lin Ruo appeared nonchalant, she
was still somewhat affected.
If he denied it now, it might have a profound psychological impact on her.
After Lin Ruo retrieved the Ice Devil from the field, she came to Jun Shafeng's side and spoke.
"I hope you can defeat the Four Heavenly Kings and successfully challenge for the championship. In the meantime, I will continue to train my Pokémon. By the next Miare Tournament, I hope you'll be the champion. Then I will challenge you for the title."
Lin Ruo finished speaking and turned to leave.
At the same time, the audience in the stands began to applaud enthusiastically, welcoming the champion of this Miare Tournament.
Kaluni, accompanied by the Four Heavenly Kings, stepped down from the judges' table.
She looked at Jun Shafeng with a gentle smile.
"Congratulations on winning this year's Miare Championship! Here's your certificate,"
she said, handing it to Jun Shafeng.
Jun Shafeng took it and spoke.
"Although this may seem rude, I can't hold back any longer. Miss Kaluni, please challenge me to a Pokémon Duel.
I came to the Kalos region not just for the Miare Championship, but for your title."
After hearing Jun Shafeng's words, Kaluni sighed helplessly.
"In that case, we'll have our duel here tomorrow. I look forward to your performance."
Jun Shafeng, upon receiving the affirmative, retracted his Electrobeam and
returned to the Pokémon Center for treatment.
The next morning, Jun Shafeng arrived early at the Miare Battleground.
The enthusiastic crowd from the previous day was gone.
The vast battlefield, aside from the Four Heavenly Kings,
consisted solely of Miss Kaluni, the champion of the Kalos region. Standing beside her was the regal Sirona.
Jun Shafeng approached Kaluni with a confident stride.
"Miss Kaluni, are you planning a 6-on-6 or 3-on-3 match?"
Kaluni pondered Jun Shafeng's question
before speaking.
"Six-on-6, I'd like to know just how strong your entire team's Pokémon are."
Jun Shafeng nodded.
Sirona then spoke.
"I'm the referee for your match, Xiaofeng. Do you have any objections?"
"It's my honor to have the Sinnoh champion referee us. I have no objection,"
Jun Shafeng said, moving to the other end of the arena.
Kaluni looked at Jun Shafeng with a serious expression on her face.
She then pulled a Poké Ball from her pocket and tossed it into the air.
A Smelly Dragon appeared on the field.
Jun Shafeng, seeing this, also took out his Poké Ball and summoned a Great Armor.
He then checked the information on the smelite.
[Smelite]
[Attribute: Dragon]
[Level: 95]
[Traits: Herbivorous]
[Gender: ♂]
[Skills: Dragon Wave, Rain Call, Dragon Fury, Dragon Star Swarm, Water Wave, Shadow Clone, High Speed Movement, Whirlpool, Dragon Scale Fury, Water Tail, Self-Recovery...]
After reading the information on the smelite, Jun Shafeng knew that the smelite likely wouldn't last many rounds.
"As expected of the champion, he attacked a level-90+ Pokémon right off the bat. I hope the smelite's Diamond Shield can hold up a bit longer."
Jun Shafeng took advantage of yesterday's break to give the remaining skills to Mimikyu and Slowking.
Mimikyu learned Star Shift and Earth Style: Earth Wall.
Slowking learned Sage Mode and Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet.
The remaining skills were Sun Fist and Five Thunders.
After much hesitation, Jun Shafeng had Tensei learn Five Thunders.
He then gave the Sun Fist to Frogger.
After Dian Shumu learned the Five Thunders Method, his intimacy instantly increased to 70.
Jun Shafeng could now command Dianshumu without resorting to telekinetic threats, and he could also make Dianshumu obey his commands.
Besides relying on physical threats, he also had to give Dianshumu some sweet rewards.
After learning the Five Thunders, Dianshumu felt just one step away from reaching the mid-level Third God stage.
This was why Jun Shafeng was confident he could defeat Kalune. Kalune
's strongest Pokémon was Gardevoir, which was supposedly at the early stage of the Third God stage, and with its Mega Evolution, it should have gained power equivalent to the mid-level Third God stage.
If Dianshumu could fully grasp the Five Thunders, his power would undoubtedly reach the mid-level Third God stage, or even peak Third God stage.
This was also why Jun Shafeng initially sent only the Great Armor and not Arcanine or other ace Pokémon.
He wanted to buy Dianshumu as much time as possible, giving him more time to master the Five Thunders.
