Pokemon: Daily Intelligence Updates

The Symbol Bird flapped its wings in the air.

It felt a faint sense of unease.

Why couldn't it sense the presence of humans all of a sudden?

Its previously infallible superpower seemed to be shielded by something.

This made the Symbol Bird feel vaguely irritated.

As the guardian of the ruins, it would not allow anyone to disturb the King.

Moreover, the King's Trial Grounds existed here.

Once that human entered the King's Trial Grounds, they could obtain the King's treasures and also have the opportunity to meet the King.

This was something the Symbol Bird couldn't bear to see.

It had been specially captured and was responsible for guarding the King's tomb.

Disturbing the King would be a dereliction of its duty.

It had been guarding the entire tomb for over a thousand years.

This had become a responsibility etched into the Symbol Bird's bones.

Therefore, the Symbol Bird had to find that human and forcefully drive them out.

No one could disturb the King's slumber; this was the meaning of the Symbol Bird's existence.

A terrifying superpower erupted from the Symbol Bird's eyes, spreading directly outwards.

It would search the entire ruin to find the human's location.

Once the human was driven out, it would completely seal the entrance to the ruin.

That way, no one could disturb the King. 'I'm such a clever Symbol Bird.'

Just as the Symbol Bird was feeling pleased with itself, Xia Mu received the latest information.

【1. Within the King's Ruins, there is the King's Trial Grounds. Defeating the Pokémon inside will grant considerable rewards. The location of the Trial Grounds is shown in the picture.】

【2. The ruins can only be entered once. Once discovered by the Symbol Bird, one will be driven out, and the Symbol Bird will seal the entrance to the ruins, preventing anyone from entering.】

【3. A fairly strong Honedge is sealed within the King's Mausoleum. Although its level is not high, its potential is extremely high. By completing the Trial Grounds challenge, one can have the opportunity to meet the King.】

【4. Deep within the ruins, there are top-quality Rock Crystals, which are extremely beneficial to Rock-type Pokémon.】

【5. Deep within the ruins, there is the Rock Titan Regirock. Only when the ruins suffer a devastating blow will the Rock Titan finally awaken.】

Xia Mu looked at the location of the Trial Grounds and was surprised to find that it was actually behind him.

It was also at this moment that the Symbol Bird suddenly discovered Xia Mu's location.

This human had Dark-type energy on their body; no wonder it couldn't detect his presence.

Hmph, human, you think it's fun to play tricks on me?

Now I'll show you how powerful I am.

The Symbol Bird used its superpower and appeared directly in front of Xia Mu.

Houndoom suddenly widened its eyes, revealing a fierce expression.

It arched its back, revealing its sharp fangs.

"Looks like the Symbol Bird has caught up."

"But that's fine, the Trial Grounds are right behind us anyway."

As the Symbol Bird appeared, Xia Mu and Houndoom had already stepped into the Trial Grounds teleportation array.

No! No! Don't disturb the King's slumber!

At this moment, the Symbol Bird's heart was breaking. Xia Mu faintly seemed to see the Symbol Bird reaching out its 'Erkang hand'.

It wanted to stop him from entering the Trial Grounds.

"I just love the expression of you disliking me but being unable to do anything about it."

Xia Mu's lips curled into a slight smile as he waved at the Symbol Bird.

Then, his body was directly teleported into the teleportation array and disappeared.

Damn it! Get back here!

The Symbol Bird's heart was secretly bleeding.

With a flash of white light.

Xia Mu arrived at a dusty place.

It was dilapidated with broken walls.

The stone walls were covered with a large number of characters.

At this moment, Xia Mu saw many Unown awakening from the walls; they opened their eyes and floated in the air.

After the Unown were awakened, they began to spin rapidly in the air and generated a large amount of energy.

These Unown were constantly injecting energy into the Trial Grounds.

Originally barren places suddenly sprouted countless grasses, and the surrounding scenery was being renovated.

Xia Mu arrived at a place similar to an ancient arena.

However, he understood that what he was seeing should be a virtual scene, the so-called Trial Grounds.

The surrounding area was bustling with noise.

A burly man walked out from within.

He was a large, rough man with muscles all over his body.

At first glance, one could tell that this person was a Fighting-type Trainer.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

"Welcome to the Trial Grounds. I am the host, A-San."

A host wearing strange glasses and a clumsy hat on his head appeared.

However, from Xia Mu's perspective, the top of the host's head seemed to be faintly glowing green.

"Today, a new challenger has appeared. Challengers who pass the assessment will naturally receive considerable rewards."

"And failed challengers will never be able to enter the King's Trial Grounds."

"This time, we have sent out Gu Jianfeng to fight."

"Gu Jianfeng's Pokémon are very strong and are a benchmark for measuring the strength of Pokémon Trainers."

"Now, please welcome his Pokémon, Tauros."

A Tauros covered in muscles appeared.

"This is a very rare Lord Aura Tauros."

The moment Xia Mu saw this Tauros, his eyes lit up.

【Pokémon Name: Paldean Tauros (Combat Breed) (Lord Aura)】

【Gender: Male】

【Potential: Blue】

【Ability: Anger Point】

【Level: 32】

【Type: Fighting】

【Moves: Tackle (Mastered), Force Palm (Mastered), Sleep Talk (Mastered), Rest (Mastered), Brick Break (Skilled), Mega Kick (Mastered), Mega Punch (Skilled), Stomp (Mastered), Endure (Mastered), Reversal (Skilled), Double Kick (Skilled), Snarl (Mastered), Raging Bull (Mastered), Assurance (Skilled)】

【Tutor Moves: Ice Beam (Skilled), Flamethrower (Mastered), Foresight (Mastered)】

【Evaluation: This is a Paldean Tauros. Few people know that this Pokémon is actually a Fighting-type Pokémon. It is also the leader of the Paldean Tauros.】

"Paldean Tauros, did they exist in ancient times?"

Xia Mu suddenly became very curious about this question.

"Originally, sending Pidgeotto to fight Paldean Tauros would have been most appropriate."

"Now, we can only send Ivysaur."

"Go, Ivysaur."

Ivysaur has the Poison-type, which can be used to deal with Paldean Tauros with dirty tricks.

Gu Jianfeng crossed his arms and looked at Xia Mu with cold eyes.

He was like a ruthless robot.

"Tauros, perform well."

"It's been a long time since we've met an opponent."

"This Ivysaur is not weak."

"Use Focus Energy."

A faint white light appeared on Tauros's body.

Then, the white light dissipated.

Tauros looked at Ivysaur with extremely fierce eyes.

Ivysaur glared back.

"Ivysaur, use Vine Whip, and then prepare a Seed Bomb barrage."

Xia Mu issued the command to Ivysaur.

When dealing with Fighting-type Pokémon, you must not let them get close.

Otherwise, you'll just get beaten to within an inch of your life by the Fighting Pokémon.

Xia Mu then made a gesture to Ivysaur, and Ivysaur nodded.

It understood what Xia Mu wanted it to do.

A little golden light quietly merged into Ivysaur's flower bud.

Vines spread out.

Sixteen vines, bearing Ivysaur's weight, allowed Ivysaur to run swiftly across the ground like a spider.

"Tauros, use Mega Punch."

A faint white light then appeared on Tauros's fist.

It suddenly swung heavily towards Ivysaur's direction.

A sound of air being torn apart rang out as the fist slammed into the ground.

The newest novels are first published at 69shu.com!

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground.

However, Ivysaur had already moved away before the force of the punch landed.

Its movements were very agile, even Tauros couldn't keep up.

"Tauros, use Stomp."

Facing Ivysaur using Vine Whip for rapid movement, Gu Jianfeng remained calm.

Tauros raised its forelegs high and stomped heavily on the ground.

The entire ground began to shake, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared.

A large number of broken stones shook on the ground.

However, this move seemed to have no effect on Ivysaur.

Ivysaur ran wildly across the ground as if walking on flat ground.

The flower bud on its back became brighter and brighter.

"Seed Bomb Barrage."

While speeding along, Ivysaur opened its mouth.

Countless green seeds, like bullets, bombarded Tauros.

Tauros swiftly dodged on the ground.

The ground was swept by the Seed Bomb barrage, leaving a large number of bullet holes.

At this moment, the light from Ivysaur's flower bud reached its peak.

Gathering into a fiery beam, like a beheading sword just rising from the abyss.

A vast power emanated from the petals, and a beam of intense light shot out, scorching the air wherever it passed.

Gu Jianfeng suddenly became a little flustered.

"Not good, dodge quickly, dodge quickly, Tauros."

Tauros was about to dodge, but it suddenly tripped and fell to the ground.

The painfully fallen Tauros discovered that countless vines were wrapped around its feet.

"Oh my god, it's the Seed Bomb Barrage from just now."

The beam of light slammed into Tauros, and the smell of burning protein filled the air.

After the intense light dissipated, Tauros was charred all over and lay motionless on the ground.

"Tauros is unable to battle."

"The winner is the challenger."

The surrounding audience erupted in thunderous cheers.

"Interesting little guy."

"Your Ivysaur's speed in using Solar Beam is quite fast."

"That's why my Tauros was defeated."

Tauros's body turned into an illusion and dissipated in mid-air.

"Next, Unown, summon my Blaziken."

Gu Jianfeng opened his arms and said loudly.

It seems this guy is getting serious.

That's good, the stronger the opponent, the more generous the rewards.

"Return, Ivysaur, thank you for your hard work."

"You rest in the Poké Ball for a while."

"Go, Cloyster."

Xia Mu released the Dragon Slayer Cloyster.

【Pokémon Name: Blaziken】

【Gender: Male】

【Potential: Blue】

【Ability: Speed Boost】

【Level: 36】

【Type: Fire + Fighting】

【Moves: Flamethrower (Mastered), Ember (Mastered), Quick Attack (Mastered), Growl (Mastered), Blaze Kick (Controlled), Detect (Mastered), Sand Attack (Mastered), Aerial Ace (Mastered), Flare Blitz (Controlled), Double Kick (Mastered), Low Kick (Mastered), Mach Punch (Controlled), Bullet Punch (Controlled)】

【Tutor Moves: Blast Burn (Mastered), Brave Bird (Mastered), Bulk Up (Controlled)】

【Egg Moves: Counter (Controlled), Scratch (Mastered)】

【Evaluation: This is a Blaziken who believes that violence can solve everything. It possesses terrifying close combat strength. Its fists can even pierce steel plates. It is made by Unown.】

"This Cloyster is not bad, you actually trained it into a Dragon Slayer Cloyster."

"However, it doesn't seem to have slain enough dragons, the dragon aura on its body is not enough."

"Otherwise, the moment your Cloyster appears, Dragon-type Pokémon would instantly be paralyzed on the ground."

Gu Jianfeng seemed to have some research on Dragon Slayer Cloyster.

"Kid, if you want to cultivate a better Dragon Slayer Cloyster, I remember there's such a book in the treasure vault, you can ask for that as a reward."

"We are using a three-on-three battle format."

"That is to say, you only have three chances."

"Each time you win, you can choose one more treasure or secret manual."

Gu Jianfeng didn't seem to have spoken for a long time and said a lot.

"Lord Gu, I do have a question I want to ask you."

"How can I enter the Trial Land again?"

Gu Jianfeng shook his head.

"The Trial Land can only be opened once per person."

"Once you've been here, you can't come in next time."

"Because the energy of the Unown is limited, they have to accumulate for a long time to gather enough energy for the battle."

Gu Jianfeng slowly explained.

"Then I have a question, how can I enter the Ruins again after entering it once?"

"I heard that the Ruins can only be entered once as well."

Gu Jianfeng smiled after hearing Xia Mu's question.

"In principle, that's true, but we all have a preference for powerful trainers."

"If you can defeat my three Pokémon, then I will give you the token in my hand."

"With this token, you can enter the Ruins and will not be attacked by the Symbol Bird."

Gu Jianfeng's words surprised Xia Mu a little.

"Haha, that Symbol Bird is actually my Pokémon."

"It has been guarding the entire Ruins for thousands of years, so I want it to be happy."

"After all, I am just a person of the past, and this is just a trace of my consciousness."

"When the Unown have exhausted their energy, I will fall into slumber again."

"Until the next time I am awakened."

"Defeat me, and you can also get an audience with the King and obtain a Pokémon carefully cultivated by the King."

"However, the King's temper is very strange, you have to be careful when dealing with him."

Xia Mu: You're dissing your King in front of me, is that really okay?

Do you dare to say these words in front of the King? I bet you'd be so scared you wouldn't even dare to fart.
