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

Chapter 630 The King Cannot Be Humiliated!

The gym leader who suggested using a weaker Pokémon to battle Forsaken had a really wild idea.

"If Serafie can recover from this ordeal, wouldn't he be able to advance even further?"

"It will be enough to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings, and people will say that I was given the Midas touch."

Everyone stared wide-eyed, never expecting that Li Shuwen, the Midas Touch, had such profound insights.

No wonder he can easily guide so many people to break through their bottlenecks and has earned the reputation of being a Midas touch.

It is terrible!

Actually, Li Shuwen didn't think that much about it.

He just couldn't stand Celeste, so he deliberately used a Fighting-type Pokémon and then defeated Celeste with the move Aerial Ace.

This is to prove his power.

Serafie still hadn't given up the fight. "Raven Leader!"

A gentleman in jet black appeared in the sky.

As expected, Li Shuwen recalled Gallade and replaced it with Sirfetch'd.

"Air Slash!"

Li Shuwen calmly gave the order, "Brave birds, attack!"

Serafie was having a lot of fun using Brave Bird in his attack.

Now it's his turn to try.

A blue-white wind blade, more than two meters long, fell and cut a crack in the ground.

But not even a single feather of the Onion Soldier was hit.

Onion Soldiers' bodies burst into flames due to friction with the air.

They advanced rapidly toward the head of the crows.

Seraf's eyes turned fierce. Could he avoid Li Shuwen's sharp edge?

"Raven leader, brave bird, attack!"

Serafie didn't believe that Li Shuwen's Pokémon were really that powerful.

Brave Bird, a Fighting-type Pokémon, is even stronger than Crow's Head!

The crow leader also flapped its wings, its body engulfed in red flames, and lunged at the onion soldier.

A crimson cloud of fire exploded in the air.

The shockwave spread like a circular tsunami, causing the barrier to flicker violently.

In that blinding flash of fire, two figures passed each other.

Onion soldier landed and staggered back two steps.

Crow Head spun and fell like a kite with a broken string, swept up by the turbulent current and crashed to the ground, immediately falling into a coma.

Seraf stood frozen in place. His aerial array, his proud flying army, was as fragile as a leaf in a storm before the Midas Touch.

Seraphine took out his last Poké Ball, his breathing becoming heavy. "Crobat, you go!"

The series of defeats with Pokémon has made Seraphine desperate.

Li Shuwen, on the other hand, switched to the Poison Skull Frog, which has both poison and fighting attributes.

It seems to be completely countered by Crobat, which has poison and flight attributes.

Serafie seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

"Crossbat, Brave Bird Attack!"

Piao Tai shook his head. "Seraphim has completely lost his mind. After so many matches, the situation is quite clear."

"A powerful skill like Brave Bird Attack can't directly change the situation for him. To win, he has to use smaller skills to gradually build up an advantage."

The Crobat has practiced Brave Bird Attack well, but what's the point if it doesn't hit?

With a swift movement, the Poison Skull Frog and the Brave Bird missed each other's fierce attack.

Serafie's face turned extremely ugly.

Swallows return! Swallows return again!

Why are Li Shuwen's Fighting-type Pokémon so good at using Aerial Ace?

"Thunder Fist!"

The Poison Skull Frog is a pragmatist; it uses whatever attack is most effective.

Li Shuwen naturally followed the Poison Skull Frog.

The venomous barbs, flashing with lightning, lashed out like a venomous snake, biting into the crossbow's soft belly.

Seeing that the Crossbat still had some strength left and hadn't fallen, the Corrupt Skull Frog once again pierced in with its other hand, accompanied by lightning.

The cross-bat immediately went silent.

When it comes to finishing off enemies, the Poison Skull Frog is the most professional.

Before Celafie switched Pokémon, Li Shuwen switched Blaziken out first.

Blaziken clenched its claws, instantly activating its Crimson Mode.

A scorching heatwave spreads from Blaziken, distorting the air and melting the ground!

Serafie looked somewhat numb as he switched on Skarmory.

"Blizzard, Flamethrower!"

Blaziken, engulfed in deep red flames, swiftly charged toward Skarmory.

Serafie remained expressionless and did not give any commands to the Skarmory.

The Skarmory, however, had sharp eyes and launched a fierce attack on the Blaziken with a piercing cry.

The two collided violently, and the armored bird was sent flying.

The originally bright silver feathers were scorched by the flames and turned grayish-black, falling to the ground and falling into a coma.

"The Skarmory is unable to battle!" The referee waved his flag. "Therefore, the winner is—the Librarian!!!"

Li Shuwen recalled the Blaziken, walked up to Serafie, and asked calmly:

"I wonder what Master Seraf thinks of my strength now?"

"Does it live up to the reputation of the Midas Touch?"

Seraphine pursed his lips, picked up the Poké Ball, recalled Skarmory, and silently turned to leave.

In the audience, the museum owners looked at each other, their faces pale.

"He... he's not really going to withdraw from the competition, is he?"

"My confidence was shattered. Falling from the sky to the mud, no one could bear it."

"But have you ever considered," someone said in a low, trembling voice, "that if he can climb out of this crushing defeat... if he can endure this level of humiliation and crushing defeat..."

Everyone was taken aback.

"So the next time he spreads his wings," the man said, looking at the empty opponent's passage, "the skies of Sinnoh may truly be welcoming a king."

But everyone knows it's unlikely; Li Shuwen was too ruthless.

Actually, Li Shuwen can't be blamed, because he was just demonstrating his full strength as Serafi requested.

Serafis couldn't handle it, so who can he blame?

One of the museum owners sighed, "A king cannot be insulted; it's a case of Seraf reaping what he sowed."

This match truly showcased Li Shuwen's king-level strength.

Except for Blaziken, which is slightly weaker, the other five are all stronger than Elite Four members.

Moreover, he has already gone quite deep into the path of becoming a superstar.

At noon, Piao Tai and Cai Zhong arrived at the restaurant.

Cai Zhong laughed and said, "I heard that Serafie is already packing his bags, planning to withdraw from the race."

Piao Tai shook his head. "I hope Serafie can pull through. He's a regional tournament champion, which is impressive, but it doesn't match his arrogance."

"One should not be too arrogant."

Just then, Kai brought over the vegetables, and Cai Zhong's nose twitched.

"What is this dish? It smells so good!"

Ah Kai said casually, "Sweet and sour shrimp, stir-fried pork heart, would you like some, Miss Cai Zhong?"

Cai Zhong's eyes widened immediately. "Shrimp, and pork heart?"

"I quite like shrimp, but can pork heart taste good?"

Ah Kai nodded decisively, "After the match, my master specially ordered the dishes, and I cooked them in the kitchen according to his recipe."

"It'll definitely taste delicious!"

Cai Zhong raised an eyebrow. "Then I'll try it."

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "First the shrimp, then the pork heart. This way, the flavors complement each other perfectly."

According to Li Shuwen, after trying the vegetable, he was immediately impressed and exclaimed, "It's really delicious, Piao Tai, you should try it too."

Piao Tai said in a low voice, "Some of the owners think you went too far with Seraf today. We're all colleagues, and we'll see each other all the time."

"It is not conducive to long-term relationships."

Just then, a familiar voice rang out behind Piao Tai, "If anyone is dissatisfied, tell them to come find me!"

Li Shuwen stood up with a smile. "Cynthia, you've finally arrived."

Cynthia raised an eyebrow, radiating domineering aura, "While I was away, all sorts of scoundrels have dared to bully you!"
