Pokemon: Daily Intelligence Updates

Xiao Ming slunk away, feeling utterly humiliated.

After being defeated by Xia Mu's Shellder on the spot, he was so ashamed that he wanted to disappear, and even his Sandshrew became the target of his disgust.

He trained for so long, yet he couldn't even beat a Shellder, what a waste!!!!

It was a complete waste of his time and energy.

Seeing the audience gathering around, Xia Mu quickly returned Shellder to its Poké Ball and left.

Enthusiastic people swarmed over, surrounding Xia Mu.

"Don't push, don't touch, damn it, who's touching my butt?"

Xia Mu exerted all his strength to crawl out of the crowd.

His hair was a mess, and there were several footprints on his clothes.

The people here were too enthusiastic, Xia Mu couldn't handle it at all.

Xia Mu fled in disarray and returned to the hotel to wash up.

However, the immediate priority was to report to the Little Phoenix King Cup organizing committee, and then head to Yangcheng Wharf on the evening of three days later.

However, on the way back to the hotel, Xia Mu saw a piece of news.

Researchers in the Yanhuang region have detected a new mystic realm.

This mystic realm may be inhabited by a large number of Dragon-type Pokémon. If it can be developed, it can greatly alleviate the supply of Dragon-type Pokémon.

Currently, researchers have not yet found the correct way to open the mystic realm.

The term 'mystic realm' was not unfamiliar to Xia Mu.

After all, this is a diverse world where Blue Star and the Pokémon world are fused together.

Unlike the original Blue Star and Pokémon world, mystic realms appear here from time to time.

Some mystic realms merge with Blue Star, increasing the land area.

Other mystic realms require a special 'key' to open.

Xia Mu guessed that these mystic realms should be fragments of the Pokémon world produced during the fusion of Blue Star and the Pokémon world.

The fusion of the two worlds is still in progress.

Generally, finding a mystic realm means the possibility of obtaining a large amount of resources contained within it.

Especially Dragon-type mystic realms, the resources they contain are simply unimaginable.

In addition to a large number of Dragon-type Pokémon, there are also places like the Dragon Graveyard.

In the Dragon Graveyard, you can also obtain a large number of Dragon-type treasures. If you're lucky, you might even see Drakloak.

Unfortunately, once a mystic realm is discovered, it's much harder to get a share, especially a Dragon-type mystic realm.

However, Xia Mu is currently just a nobody, and he basically won't get a chance with the mystic realm.

He can't get arrogant just because he has a pseudo-legendary Pokémon. He doesn't have that much capital.

Maybe his Beldum hasn't even warmed up in his arms before someone comes knocking on his door.

There were already many trainers lining up at the Yangcheng Gymnasium.

To improve students' independence, the school can only provide assistance in this competition, acting as cheerleaders for the students.

As for booking hotels, the students' parents were involved.

Originally, Headmaster Ye Da was also going to come and watch, but she had something to do temporarily, and she also had to prepare for the provincial competition, so she would come a few days later, after the provincial competition finals, to watch the battles.

Xia Mu was in line when the people next to him looked at him with strange eyes.

They seemed to recognize Xia Mu.

"That seems to be Xia Mu."

"Yes, it's Master Xia, the popular research blogger recently."

"I've also listened to his Pokémon courses, and they're actually quite good."

At this time, the person next to him rolled his eyes.

"Since he's a research blogger, why doesn't he participate in the Chansey Cup and come here to join in the fun with us?"

In everyone's general perception, researchers and trainers are basically two different professions, and few people can develop in both directions.

Someone immediately explained to him in public: "No, buddy, he's not only participating in the Little Phoenix King Cup, but also the Chansey Cup."

"You may not have noticed him, he's the double champion of Jiaying City."

"His strength is very strong. I heard just now that Xiao Ming, a popular candidate for winning the provincial competition, is no match for him."

"He was defeated by Xia Mu's Shellder in public."

The person who rolled his eyes widened his eyes, and he said somewhat dumbfounded: "Xiao Ming is no match for him? No way, isn't his Sandshrew afraid of water?"

"Didn't Xiao Ming have a ninety-nine-game winning streak? Someone like him lost to Xia Mu? No way?"

The onlookers were all listening with great interest.

"It is said that the Shellder that Xia Mu sent out only used three Water Gun skills to defeat Xiao Ming's Sandshrew, and Xiao Ming ran away in shame and anger."

Only then did the onlookers realize how powerful Xia Mu was.

"What the fuck?"

"Water Gun, an ordinary Water Gun, defeated a Sandshrew that had undergone rigorous training and even overcome its physiological instincts?"

At this time, everyone realized how terrifying Xia Mu was, and they made way for Xia Mu as if worshiping a big shot.

As a result, in the long queue, Xia Mu found that it was his turn in an instant.

Xia Mu!!!!

What was happening?

How did it suddenly become my turn in the blink of an eye?

Is the organizing committee so efficient?

The registration staff of the organizing committee wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

He efficiently took Xia Mu's competition certificate and scanned it on the computer.

"Ding, first place in the Jiaying City Little Phoenix King Cup."

An electronically synthesized voice came from the computer.

The staff specifically looked up at Xia Mu.

"Good results. There are a total of twenty-one cities in Yandong Province, and your ranking is quite high."

After praising him, he handed Xia Mu a card.

"This is your competition certificate."

"With this card, you can go to the training ground and make purchases at the hotel you are staying at."

"The Little Phoenix King Cup will begin in one day. You need to come and participate in the opening ceremony."

"Since you are ranked first in the city, you can enter the next round of assessment without taking the test."

"You can choose to watch other people's preliminaries or train your own Pokémon in the hotel's training ground."

"Before the game, the staff will call you one hour in advance to confirm."

"These are all the things I need to make clear to you."

After listening to the staff's words, Xia Mu became interested.

"How many of the top-ranked players in the city can enter the next round of assessment without taking the test?"

The staff immediately replied: "At least the top three, and it also depends on overall strength."

"Next."

Xia Mu left knowingly.

He suddenly remembered that the information mentioned that in today's Rock Performance, a Nosepass would suddenly go berserk.

Xia Mu had to hurry up and stop this Nosepass.

The Rock Performance Hall, its correct name is the Rock Pokémon Exhibition Hall, was built by a tycoon who liked Rock-type Pokémon to the extreme.

The purpose of building this exhibition hall was to allow everyone to visit his collection of Rock-type Pokémon.

And to help some trainers understand the advantages and disadvantages of Rock-type Pokémon.

There are many Rock-type Pokémon inside.

The outer wall of the Rock Pokémon Exhibition Hall is built by Rock-type Pokémon, which looks very rough.

It is very, very large, about the same size as the Yangcheng Gymnasium, with one floor above ground and two floors below ground.

Citizens flocked to visit the Rock-type Pokémon. It wasn't even the weekend yet; the crowds would be even larger then.

A group of Geodudes, like Tauros, charged around inside the glass display cases of the exhibition hall.

They rolled on the ground, creating a rumbling sound.

The surrounding crowd watched the Geodudes' performance.

They let out sounds of amazement from time to time.

Xia Mu could see that these Geodudes were very well-trained. Each of them was large and had a glossy surface.

"These Geodudes are too well-trained."

Xia Mu blurted out, quickly attracting the attention of a bald man nearby.

This bald man wore large sunglasses and a heavy gold necklace around his neck. He wore a floral shirt, large shorts, and flip-flops.

He was clearly interested in what Xia Mu had just said.

"Little brother, can you tell me why you say these Geodudes are well-trained?"

The bald man said in a muffled voice.

Xia Mu was happy to play the role of a teacher.

"No problem. The body surface of Geodudes is generally gray-white, but it will be slightly different depending on the soil near their habitat."

"If they are in a place rich in iron ore, their appearance will have a faint red color."

"If they live in a place rich in copper ore, their appearance will have a malachite blue feel."

"However, this difference is generally indistinguishable to those who aren't breeders."

Xia Mu tried his best to explain it clearly to the bald man from a professional perspective.

"Look at these Geodudes, they have full foreheads, bright eyes, well-proportioned bodies, and they roll at a very uniform speed, obviously having received good training."

"Their skin tone is very good, and they also emit a faint white halo."

"The boss of the Rock Exhibition Hall is really amazing. I don't know where he found the secret to raising Geodudes."

Xia Mu praised in public.

The bald man looked cheerful: "By the way, there's a Nosepass performance match today. Would you like to go and see it together?"

"I have a VIP lounge here. We can watch the performance match without queuing."

The bald man enthusiastically took out a VIP card.

Originally, Xia Mu wanted to decline, but when he heard that the VIP lounge was closer to the performance location, he didn't refuse.

This way, he could observe Nosepass up close and see what exactly was happening to Nosepass.

The performance match was on the second basement level. Xia Mu followed the bald man towards the stairs below.

"Brother Kun, good morning."

"Brother Kun, good morning."

The staff here seemed to know the bald man and greeted him as Brother Kun.

"Brother Kun, it seems you are quite popular at the Rock Exhibition Hall."

Kun, also known as Yan Kun, said with a smile: "I really like Rock-type Pokémon. I come every day, so it's normal for them to recognize me."

He led Xia Mu into a private room.

The private room was furnished with antique coffee tables, and a faint fragrance filled the air, making people feel refreshed.

The scent was like a forest after rain.

Fruit trees were placed on the table, and there was a large window here.

Yan Kun wasn't lying. This private room was indeed the closest to the performance area. From here, you could watch Nosepass's performance up close.

At this moment, a host in a tuxedo appeared.

"Hello, everyone?"

"I am the host, Xiao Cai."

"Now, today's Nosepass performance match is about to begin."

"Now, let's give our applause and encouragement to Nosepass's appearance."

The audience erupted in thunderous applause, and many people whistled.

"Okay, I hear everyone's enthusiasm. Nosepass, don't hide on the ground, come out and say hello."

The ground suddenly cracked open, and Nosepass popped out of the ground.

Dust filled the air and was blown away by the wind.

Nosepass was one and a half meters tall.

It looked a bit like a giant statue from Easter Island.

Its nose was red, and the rest of its body was blue.

There was a black hole in the center of its palms and the soles of its feet.

The magnet on Nosepass's nose would never fail, always pointing north.

It could float in the air through electromagnetism.

At this moment, it was floating in the air, motionless, as if it were asleep.

"Nosepass, come down and say hello to everyone."

The host suddenly said.

However, Nosepass didn't seem to hear the command and remained suspended in mid-air.

"What exactly is going on? Why is Nosepass suspended in the air and not moving?"

"Yeah, Nosepass's performance has never had a single accident."

"Could this be a new routine?"

[Pokémon Name: Nosepass]

[Gender: Genderless]

[Aptitude: Green]

[Characteristic: Sturdy]

[Level: 32]

[Type: Steel + Rock]

[Skills: Tackle (Mastered), Rock Tomb (Mastered), Growl (Proficient), Headbutt (Mastered), Iron Defense (Mastered), Heavy Slam (Mastered), Rock Throw (Control), Metal Claw (Mastered), Harden (Control), Flash Cannon (Control)]

[Tutored Skills: Stomping Tantrum (Mastered), Reversal (Mastered), Endure (Mastered), Gravity (Control)]

[Evaluation: This Nosepass has been exposed to a special magnetic field by someone with ulterior motives and is currently in a state of confusion. It must be defeated immediately to save it, otherwise it will explode, endangering the entire Rock Exhibition Hall.]

This place was located on the first basement level. If Nosepass used Self-Destruct here, the shockwave generated by the explosion would inevitably cause a strong earthquake.

At the same time, it would endanger the lives of the surrounding citizens.

At this moment, Yan Kun felt that something was wrong with Nosepass, and his expression gradually became ugly.

"This Nosepass seems to be in a state of confusion."

"It seems to have eaten something it shouldn't have."

Xia Mu suddenly said.

"I am a beginner Pokémon breeder, and I can't be wrong."

"If I'm not mistaken, Nosepass might self-destruct later."

"Brother Yan, if you are familiar with the people here, quickly say hello to the staff."

"I must stop Nosepass's actions, otherwise Nosepass is likely to fall into a state of self-destruction."

"Come on out, Ivysaur."

Xia Mu threw the Poké Ball, and Ivysaur immediately appeared on the performance stage.

"Ivysaur, use Leech Seed."

Ivysaur took a deep breath and then fired countless green seeds from the flower bud on its back.

The green seeds collided with Nosepass's body, sparking a lot of fire.
