Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 629 Killing someone...and also destroying their spirit?

Five days have passed since Li Shuwen's battle with Piao Tai, and the opponents he has encountered are all mediocre gym leaders.

They were barely qualified to be considered gym-level fighters, but their battles were nothing to boast about.

If the Abandoned Monkey were to take the stage, he probably wouldn't even be able to ignite any anger.

Li Shuwen mainly used Blaziken, Gyarados, Electivire, and Sylveon as his main fighting force.

Poison Skull Frog and Onion Soldier are responsible for ensuring the bottom line; they don't care whether the opponent is strong or weak.

They will go all out against any opponent.

Of course, the reasons why Poison Skull Frog and Onion Soldier went all out were completely opposite.

Farfetch'd respects its opponent, while Poison Skull Frog respects itself.

The Poison Skull Frog has worked hard to hone its strength; if it doesn't use it properly, then all its training will have been in vain.

Seraf, who made boastful remarks before the match, is Li Shuwen's opponent today.

The gym leader who was defeated by Li Shuwen a few days ago is now in the stands on Serafie's side.

"Seraphim, you earned your Gym Leader title through countless Pokémon battles."

"That's right, the title of Sinnoh's strongest Flying-type trainer belongs to you alone!"

"Don't forget, you were a regional champion back in the day. Cheer up, don't embarrass yourself!"

"It's up to you to take down the Midas Touch!"

Seraf clenched his fists, his fighting spirit ignited by the encouraging shouts.

Yes, he also fought his way to his current position by working with Muker back then.

Compared to Li Shuwen, the Midas touch, what does Seraf lack?

Today, he will prove himself to be stronger than Li Shuwen, the Midas Touch!

Based on the result of the coin toss, Li Shuwen sent out his Pokémon first.

And the Pokémon that Li Shuwen chose to send out was... Kommo-o!

Serafie felt a surge of anger. Was he deliberately choosing to start with a fighting attribute to humiliate him?

"Starhawk, it's yours now!"

Since Kommo-o is Li Shuwen's starter Pokémon, Celeste also sent out his starter Pokémon to fight.

Li Shuwen calmly replied, "Staff-tailed Armored Dragon, Dragon Dance!"

The Staff-tailed Armored Dragon began to dance gently, its body radiating a soft blue light.

Serafie decisively ordered, "Muk Eagle, Brave Birds, attack!"

The commentator exclaimed, "He launched a powerful attack right from the start with Brave Bird, it seems that the Seraphim Gym Leader has a very strong desire for victory."

Li Shuwen calmly waved his hand and said, "Catch it with the dragon claw!"

Energy erupted from the tips of every feather of the Mk Eagle, transforming its entire body into a comet burning with red flames, trailing a long fiery tail as it broke the sound barrier and swooped down.

The claws of the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon burst forth with a bluish-gold light that pierced through the eyeballs, condensing into solid dragon claws that reached out and grabbed the two wings of the charging Starhawk.

The Mk Eagle unleashed its power, attempting to knock the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon away.

But the two feet of the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon were rooted to the spot and did not move at all.

"Dragon Tail!"

The Staff-tailed Armored Dragon turned and swung its tail downwards, unleashing a cyan-gold crescent arc that tore through space, slamming the Starhawk directly into the ground.

A cloud of dust exploded, engulfing the silhouette of the Mk Eagle.

Serafie's expression changed. "Muk Eagle, hang in there!"

As the smoke cleared, Mk Eagle fell into a coma.

Serafie recalled the M'k Eagle and sent out a sleek, silver armored bird.

Unexpectedly, Li Shuwen also recalled Kommo-o and replaced it with Blaziken.

"Armored Bird, wing attack!"

The armored bird spread its wings, its sharp feathers gleaming coldly as it pounced on the blazing chicken.

It was as if a skilled swordsman had delivered a slash.

Li Shuwen calmly responded, "Blizzard, Flare Charge!"

Blaziken grinned, and its body was immediately illuminated by a layer of red light before being covered by burning deep red flames.

It transformed into a pillar of fire, soaring into the sky and hurtling towards the armored bird.

The two Pokémon collided violently, and Skarmory was sent flying.

The Blaziken landed back on the ground, looking perfectly normal.

Seraphine's expression was grim as he took out a Poké Ball and recalled Skarmory.

His Skarmory couldn't even beat this Blaziken.

"Gyarados, it's yours now."

Gyarados roared as it entered, but its aura was much weaker than that of Morse's Gyarados, appearing somewhat strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Li Shuwen retrieved the Blaziken and sent out the Abandoned Monkey.

Sure enough, the Abandoned Monkey's expression didn't change much when it saw Gyarados.

Seraf clenched his fists. Why didn't this abandoned monkey ignite its anger?

Do you look down on his Gyarados?

"Gyarados, bounce!"

With a flick of its tail, Gyarados soared into the sky, enveloped in a layer of white energy, and roared as it swooped down toward Abandoned Monkey.

Its tail, wreathed in thick white energy, lashed out at the abandoned monkey.

Li Shuwen smiled, "Swallow Returns."

Gyarados lashed out with its tail, and Forsaken vanished instantly.

He then appeared atop Gyarados's head, swung his arm, and delivered a powerful elbow strike to Gyarados's cheek.

Gyarados let out a mournful scream and flew off, using its head as a fulcrum.

He landed on the ground and struggled to get up.

The Abandoned Monkey appeared silently in front of Gyarados.

His fist crackled with lightning as he slammed it into Gyarados's chin.

It made Gyarados fly again.

In the audience, one of the exhibitors frowned. "Did you guys notice that the abandoned monkeys today didn't have that powerful destructive punch?"

The zookeeper next to him suddenly realized, "Could it be that Gyarados isn't strong enough, so the Forsaken isn't interested in battling?"

"Doesn't that mean you can win by using a weaker Pokémon like Forsaken?"

The people around him were looking at him like he was an idiot.

Do you want to listen to what you're saying?

Normally, Forsaken doesn't need to be boosted with Rage. It treats you like a random monster and just beats you up.

The Abandoned Monkey seemed to have no effort at all, defeating Gyarados in just two moves.

Even the weaker Pokémon can defeat Forsaken.

By this point, Serafie had realized that Li Shuwen was deliberately switching Pokémon constantly.

It wasn't even a tactical arrangement; it was purely to demonstrate how strong he was.

This was in response to Seraf's statement that Li Shuwen lacked ability and was merely seeking fame and fortune.

Serafie's fists clenched white. He was Sinnoh's Skywing, how could he be so easily manipulated by Li Shuwen?

Seraf shouted, "The Bluebird!"

With a faint smile, Li Shuwen switched the abandoned monkey off the field.

Switch to Gallade.

"The Azure Bird of Tanabata, the Divine Bird Strikes!"

Li Shuwen said calmly, "Swallow Return!"

The Qixi Bluebird spreads its cotton-like wings, and its body radiates intense white energy, which transforms into air currents and forms a vortex.

It pounced on Gallade at lightning speed.

Gallade drew her sword, its blade shimmering with a silvery light like moonlight.

Gallade only activated U-turn when Altaria rushed in front of it.

In an instant, it appeared behind the Tanabata Bluebird.

Cotton feathers fluttered in the air, and two clear sword marks appeared on the Qixi Bluebird.

On the stands, several owners looked at each other in bewilderment.

"The swallows have returned again..."

"It feels like Li Shuwen is deliberately using Swallow Return to fight against Serafie."

"To kill someone... you also have to destroy their spirit?"

The group shrank back, relieved that they hadn't offended Li Shuwen.
