"How about it? Do you want to keep taking action against Team Galactic? I can provide you with quite a bit of assistance."
After tying up the three individuals, Lucian asked Gu Yuan with great interest.
Even Lucian had to admit that Gu Yuan seemed to possess a magical sort of power, which was especially effective when dealing with organizations like Team Galactic.
"It is not a question of whether I want to or not. Rather, the Sinnoh League is not yet prepared to take action against Team Galactic. Even if I want to help, I simply lack the means to do so."
Instead of refusing, Gu Yuan stated the current reality.
It was exactly as he said. At this moment, the Sinnoh League knew far too little about Team Galactic, let alone being prepared to concentrate its forces to deal with such an unfamiliar organization.
However, judging from the current situation, Team Galactic was certainly no benevolent group. Furthermore, their ability to easily dispatch three Champion rank Trainers was enough to arouse the attention of the Sinnoh League.
"That is true. You should continue with your trial, then. I will handle the subsequent matters."
"I only hope that if, through my efforts, the Sinnoh League decides to move against Team Galactic and you happen to still be in the Sinnoh region, you can lend a hand."
"Of course, you will not be disappointed regarding the reward."
"It would be my absolute pleasure."
After smilingly bidding farewell to Lucian, Gu Yuan continued with his trial.
Since he had already allowed Charizard, Moltres, Roaring Moon, and Volcanion to thoroughly satisfy their appetite for battle, it was naturally Alakazam and the others' turn next.
Using Teleport to travel, Gu Yuan quickly arrived at the next forest.
Once Alakazam released its Elite rank aura, Gu Yuan advanced deep into the heart of the forest completely unhindered.
"Go, Haxorus! It's time to battle!"
Looking at the Floatzel ahead, Gu Yuan immediately handed down an attacking instruction.
Sensing the threat of danger radiating from Haxorus, Floatzel wanted to dive into the lake behind it to avoid this battle.
However, how could Gu Yuan give it such an opportunity? Alakazam directly used Teleport to appear behind it.
After comparing the strength of Haxorus and Alakazam, Floatzel ultimately chose to fight Haxorus.
"Integrate Swords Dance into your charging movements, then use Dragon Rush!"
Seeing that Floatzel wanted to launch an attack, Gu Yuan handed down his instruction a step ahead.
A Hydro Pump move was unleashed, but it merely possessed a grand momentum and could not hit Haxorus at all.
Haxorus's advantages and disadvantages were very distinct.
Its advantage lay in the fact that once it closed the distance, few opponents could withstand its formidable offensive capability.
Its disadvantage was even more pronounced, which was that before closing the distance, it was easily kited by its opponents.
In order to compensate for this shortcoming of Haxorus, Gu Yuan had always been cultivating Haxorus's capability in this aspect.
For instance, integrating Dragon Dance or Swords Dance into its charging or dodging movements.
When encountering different opponents, it could also choose whether to let Haxorus increase both its speed and attack simultaneously or quickly raise its attack based on the specific situation.
Just like now, Floatzel's attacking speed was not particularly fast, allowing Haxorus to dodge Floatzel's attack even while executing Swords Dance, thereby rushing swiftly in front of the opponent.
Dragon-type energy condensed, and Haxorus transformed into a massive dragon as it charged forth.
Hydro Pump was deployed once more. As a wild Pokémon, no one would teach Floatzel to practice combination techniques.
With the boost from Swords Dance, Hydro Pump was simply insufficient to withstand Haxorus's charge.
Under Floatzel's shocked gaze, Haxorus directly blasted it away.
"Haxorus, dragon charge!"
With Dragon Rush as the primary component, Tackle as the supplement, and Slash as the blade, this was Haxorus's combination technique!
Enduring the intense pain, Floatzel adjusted its body in midair, then used Wave Crash to counterattack.
Enveloped in water, Floatzel shot forward resembling a torpedo.
The instant the two sides collided, the water surrounding Floatzel was shattered, and a horrifying wound appeared on Floatzel's body.
Blood splattered, yet Haxorus did not stop there.
"Haxorus, Guillotine!"
The intense pain caused Floatzel's reactions to slow by a beat, allowing Haxorus's Guillotine to successfully land, instantly knocking Floatzel out!
Unfortunately, Floatzel's nightmare did not end here.
Hatterene stepped forward, using Life Dew in cooperation with Heal Pulse, quickly restoring Floatzel once again.
Rushing out from Gu Yuan's shadow, Dragapult was already fully prepared to attack.
The newly awakened Floatzel had not even reacted to what was happening before Dragapult's Shadow Ball shot forward.
Without time for second thoughts, Floatzel immediately retaliated with Hydro Pump.
While releasing the move, Floatzel discovered to its safety that its strength had actually been completely restored.
Just as a feeling of joy surfaced in Floatzel's heart, Dragapult used Phantom Force to appear behind Floatzel.
Night Shade was deployed, and Ghost-type energy enveloped Dragapult. A chilling sensation spread out, making Floatzel feel as though it had entered an icy world of snow and frost.
Dragon Claw was executed. With the enhancement from Night Shade, it easily pierced through the Aqua Jet that Floatzel had hastily released, subsequently stabbing into Floatzel's body.
Dragon Breath condensed, but it carried the enhancement of Ghost-type power, making Dragapult's Dragon Breath entirely filled with a chilling sensation.
As it blasted onto Floatzel's wound, it actually froze Floatzel's wound instantly.
Relying on the experience Agatha had left him, Gu Yuan was also quite accomplished when cultivating Dragapult.
After deploying Night Shade, while Dragapult's strength was enhanced, its moves would also be infused with Ghost-type energy, making the offensive even more powerful.
If it were to deploy Outrage on top of that, Dragapult's strength could rise to a whole new height.
"Dragapult, demonic dragon breath!"
The powers of Dragon Pulse and Dragon Breath merged with one another, cooperating with the Ghost-type capability to look exactly like a pitch-black pillar of light, blasting directly onto the unavoidable Floatzel.
"Dragapult, demonic dragon charge!"
Pitch-black energy expanded, enveloping Dragapult as it poured out Night Shade, transforming it into a pitch-black dragon that then slammed violently into Floatzel.
Under the continuous fierce onslaught, Floatzel quickly lost its ability to battle and collapsed.
Just like before, Hatterene stepped forward once more, healing Floatzel's injuries.
Waking up and looking at Hatterene, who was already prepared for battle in front of it, Floatzel merely felt as though it had fallen into an illusion; otherwise, how could it possibly be challenged by people three times in a row?
Yet this was still not Gu Yuan's limit. Finally, when Coalossal also defeated Floatzel via an inverse-type advantage, the newly awakened Floatzel simply stopped pretending.
No matter how Gu Yuan tried to provoke it, Floatzel maintained an expression that indicated you could whip it however you liked, but it would absolutely not strike back.
Seeing this, Gu Yuan no longer made things difficult for Floatzel and began searching for his next target.
