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

Chapter 623 Undying Thunder

Coincidentally, Li Shuwen's next opponent is a gym leader known for his Grass-type skills.

The owner of this museum has something in common with the attributes he excels at.

He's an incompetent fool!

Although he had heard of Li Shuwen's strength, he didn't take it to heart at all.

Losing to anyone is the same as losing to someone else, so having Li Shuwen makes no difference.

The one who truly cares about yesterday's battle is Electrified Beast.

Blaziken shone brightly the day before yesterday, but when it faced Gyarados, despite having a type advantage, it failed to completely defeat its opponent and was instead replaced in front of everyone due to exhaustion.

This sense of unwillingness fueled his fighting spirit.

What a disgrace! It's an absolute disgrace!

Therefore, Electabuzz volunteered to fight, pleading with Li Shuwen to give it another chance and to be the first to start.

Li Shuwen naturally agreed.

When Electivire stepped into the battlefield first, a relaxed smile immediately appeared on the face of the opposing gym leader.

Yesterday's humiliating defeat led him to misjudge the strength of Electivire.

"Even if I can only defeat the weakest one in Li Shuwen's hands, it will be enough for me to brag about for half a year..." he thought to himself.

"Go, Earth Platform Tortoise!"

"Electrocution Beast," Li Shuwen's voice remained calm, "Freeze Punch."

The instant the command was given, the electric monster, which had been standing still just a second before, was launched out as if by an invisible giant bow.

A chilling, pale aura condensed wildly on his right fist, causing the air to crystallize into tiny ice crystals wherever his fist passed.

With a fist clenched in extreme cold, it slammed solidly into the Earth-Turtle's face before the Earth-Turtle could react.

Crash—

The biting cold air spread wildly outwards from the point of impact, freezing the earth turtle into a huge ice sculpture with a comical posture and exuding deadly chill in the blink of an eye.

"Iron Tail".

The Thunderbolt's two tails gleamed with a metallic glint, like two heavy steel whips, lashing out with a shrill whistling sound as they tore through the wind, striking the frozen Earth-Turtle!

The solid ice shell shattered with a crash, and the massive body of the earth turtle collapsed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of ice shards and dust.

The owner's expression froze: "How could my tortoise...?"

Isn't everyone saying that this Electivire is weak?

It must have been a sneak attack!

Yes, they just caught me off guard!

He hurriedly changed the Poké Ball: "Abomasnow, it's up to you now!"

A confident smile returned to his lips—the Ice-attribute Blizzard King wouldn't be afraid of Freeze Punch anymore, would he?

Li Shuwen's expression remained completely unchanged: "Electric Beast, Flame Fist."

boom!

The electric monster's fist ignited with blazing flames, striking the Blizzard King's chest like a fiery meteor.

The fiery fist slammed solidly into the Blizzard King's chest, instantly vaporizing the ice crystals and snowflakes. The Blizzard King let out a painful groan, its feet leaving the ground as it was thrown backward by the immense force.

Electivire gave Abomasnow no chance to land and adjust, its body spinning perfectly in the air, its iron tail, gleaming with a cold metallic light, slashing down like a battle axe.

"Bang!"

Iron Tail struck Abomasnow's head with pinpoint accuracy. Before Abomasnow could even scream, it plummeted headfirst to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The gym leader froze, then slapped his forehead in frustration. Damn it, Electivire can also use Fire Punch!

"The Lucky Kappa is yours now!"

He calmed himself down a bit. Surely this time it would be alright? The dual attributes of water and grass were enough to withstand attacks from both ice and fire.

Li Shuwen simply waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing away mosquitoes: "Lightning Strike."

The Electabuzz erupted with even more dazzling and refined golden lightning than yesterday. Its massive body was instantly enveloped in lightning, transforming into a violent bolt of lightning that was impossible to look at directly. It tore through the air at near teleportation speed and shot straight at Rakuten Kappa.

Lucky Kappa was knocked into the air, and then the Electric Monster's tail suddenly extended and grabbed Lucky Kappa.

"thunder."

Li Shuwen's order was like a death sentence.

A violent current surged through the tail into the body of the Lucky Kappa, with smoke billowing from the blinding flashes of electricity.

A few seconds later, the electric monster Matsuo withdrew, and the Lucky Kappa collapsed limply to the ground.

The gym leader's face began to turn pale as he continued switching Pokémon.

"Cunning Tengu, Evil Pulse!"

"Dodge, Explosive Fist."

The Electabuzz's eyes flashed with a fierce light. With a burst of power from its feet, its massive body displayed astonishing jumping ability, leaping high into the air like a spring, precisely allowing the evil energy to pass beneath its feet.

He forcefully twisted his waist and turned in mid-air, bringing his right fist to his abdomen. A ball of extremely unstable, violently powerful yellow energy rapidly gathered and compressed.

Explosive Fist!

The electric monster swooped down like a meteor, and the burst of energy slammed into the back of the cunning tengu who was completely unprepared!

"Bang!!!"

The cunning tengu's eyes suddenly bulged out, and a "crack" sound came from its back as its spine could no longer bear the weight. Without even uttering a groan, it collapsed forward, burying its face in the ground, and fell silent.

The gym leader's hands trembled even more violently, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead. He looked at the Electivire opposite him, which was only slightly panting but whose eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and then at the two Poké Balls he had left in his hand. A chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He roared as he hurled a Poké Ball, "Exeggutor, Seed Bomb!"

"Freeze Punch".

Electivire roared and activated again!

Just as the Exeggutor conjured its seed bomb, the Electric Monster, accompanied by a chilling wind, closed in on it.

The Freeze Punch pounded against the Exeggutor's thick trunk like a storm.

Each punch was infused with bone-chilling cold, and Exeggutor's movements visibly slowed down. His skin quickly turned an unnatural bluish-purple, and white frost condensed on his body.

Finally, Electivire finished off the monster with a heavy Iron Tail sweep across its waist!

"Bang!"

The coconut tree, like a felled giant, flew stiffly and straight to the side, landing with a "crack" sound as it shattered, and had already turned into an unconscious blue ice sculpture.

The gym leader's hands were trembling slightly. He gritted his teeth and threw out his last hope: "Sceptile King, Leaf Storm!!"

Sharp leaves gathered into a green vortex, hissing as it swept across the entire field.

Li Shuwen only uttered four words softly:

"The Ultimate Impact".

The electric monster roared, and a violent purple energy vortex shot into the sky from its center, enveloping it into a purple comet that kept expanding and radiating destructive waves.

With an unstoppable momentum, crushing everything in its path, it crashed head-on into the howling storm of green leaves.

The blades, powerful enough to cut through iron like mud, crumbled in the face of absolute force. The Electric Demon Beast broke through the storm, crashed into the Lizard King, and propelled it into the air before slamming it into the ground with its downward momentum.

boom!!!

The ground shook violently, and dust billowed up like waves.

When the dust settled, the Lizard King was found deep in the pit, already unconscious.

The guild master's face was ashen, his lips trembling as he couldn't speak. He'd been wiped out by a single electric monster... one against six.

Boundless regret, shame, and the fear of becoming the laughingstock of the entire Sinnoh trainer community overwhelmed him like ice water.

Why can't he train his Pokémon for even an extra hour every day...?

In the arena, Electric Beast raised its fists high, roared to the sky, and released all the pent-up resentment and humiliation in its chest at this moment.

The exhilaration of defeating six opponents single-handedly, the feeling of overwhelming power.

That felt so good!
