The Pokémon That Crossed Time and Space / Timelords

[Level: 42]

[Attack Power: 2450 (3695)]

[Defense Strength: 1950 (2145)]

[Rock-Type, Description: A high-ranking Gem-Knight warrior who optimizes crystal power into combat strength. He uses his high attack power to overwhelm enemies. However, he often feels that his optimization alone has limitations, and he greatly cherishes the unity with his companions.]

You Zhi was slightly disappointed after Cheat Appraisal the Pokémon using the cheat software. This meant that the Pokémon given to him was likely also from the Gem-Knight series, and he already had a Gem-Knight Lady in his roster.

However, since we're already here, let's take a look first.

"Who?"

Karate Nobuhiko heard You Zhi's undisguised footsteps and turned around warily.

You Zhi did not answer, but instead put one hand at his waist and extended the other forward, assuming a posture of asking for battle.

"This is... the Azure Gym's Water-Cutting Style Formation! You are A-Si's disciple!"

Nobuhiko recognized him, then focused his gaze on You Zhi for a moment, and said knowingly, "It seems you are also a martial artist seeking to break through your limits, and you found this place to purify your mind. Indeed, like attracts like."

You Zhi didn't speak, but simply drew a Pokémon Card from the void. With a flash of light, the Gem-Knight Lady Rose Diamond appeared in all her glory.

"You also have Gem-Knight!"

Nobuhiko's eyes lit up, and his gaze toward You Zhi showed even more approval.

As expected, those who share the same interests have similar preferences when it comes to choosing spirits!

"For people like us, verbal communication is far less effective than a duel in understanding each other. The duel format is 3-1, with each side able to send out a maximum of three Pokémon, one at a time. Trainers can immediately enter the battle. Let me witness the power of Water-Cutting Style!"

"A magnificent duel! My life is now complete!"

Covered in wounds, Nobuhiko gazed at the cascading waterfall, revealing the back of a king on the verge of his demise.

"Uh... it can't be that bad, can it?"

You Zhi's lips twitched. He had deliberately controlled his strength to stage a duel of equal strength, which was much more difficult than simply winning a duel—after all, he had to please his opponent.

Nobuhiko didn't turn around, maintaining his persona, and tossed a Pokémon Card over.

"You've surpassed your teacher; your skills have already surpassed A-Si's. I've been searching for a young trainer who can unleash this little one's potential. I hope you can nurture her well and showcase the brilliance of martial arts trainers to the world!"

(The author: I feel a bit chilly and have a sore throat. I think I've caught it. I can't guarantee an update tomorrow. I don't know which readers have caught it. Now there's one more unlucky one. I hope this can offer you some comfort.)

Chapter 228 The Time-Traveling Elf

[Amazoness Princess (3-star) location]

[Genealogy: Fighting-type, Ground]

[Level: 21]

[Talent: Ferocity]

[Attack Power: 1200 (1440)]

[Defense: 900 (1080)]

[Warrior-Type, Effect: ① This spirit is considered "Amazoness Queen" on the field or in the graveyard; ② When the spirit enters the field, automatically create 1 "Amazoness" Spell Card; ③ You can activate this effect by paying some Life Points to summon 1 "Amazoness Pet Tiger" with negated abilities as your mount.]

By now, You Zhi wouldn't be surprised at all that it was yet another female Pokémon.

As for the fact that the other party sent Amazoness series Pokémon instead of Gem-Knight series Pokémon, it's not surprising. Karate Nobuhiko is good at Fighting-type Pokémon, while Gem-Knight are mainly Rock-type. It's just that the Gem-Knight White Crystal, happens to have a second Fighting-type- type Pokémon.

He left his mark on the Pokémon Card and then summoned the opponent.

Despite having a bronze-like, dark complexion, the Amazoness Princess had beautiful short, silver-white hair, wore a headdress adorned with a bull's head, and dressed in very revealing clothing.

Since there were no Amazoness- related Spell Card in the deck, the second characteristic did not activate.

Whoosh!

Upon meeting, the Amazoness Princess thrust her short spear at You Zhi.

Pokémon cannot harm their trainers, but intimidation is still permissible.

You Zhi instantly realized that the aim of the thrust was seriously flawed, so he didn't respond and let the blow pass right through his face.

"Can't you even react to this? Why did Nobuhiko give you away?" The Amazoness Princess looked disappointed. "No, you only follow the truly strong. You need to have a serious talk with Nobuhiko."

"A true powerhouse, huh?"

You Zhi flashed past the Amazoness Princess, tripping her with his left foot.

"Huh?"

Before the Amazoness Princess could even react to what was happening, she was already falling forward. But before she could make intimate contact with the ground, she felt a tightness around her waist and was being laid across her thighs.

Snap!

You Zhi slapped the other person's firm little bottom.

"Ouch!" The Amazoness Princess cried out in pain and anger, "How dare you...!"

"I'll teach you a lesson today: observe your opponent's strength before you make a move, and don't act rashly."

Snap!

You Zhi, expressionless, slapped the other person's butt again.

"Ah! How dare you humiliate me! I'll kill you!"

The Amazoness Princess struggled desperately, but the hand on her lower back pressed her down like a mountain, rendering her completely immobile.

"Furthermore, disrespecting the master is acceptable, but don't jump to conclusions."

Snap!

"If you choose to be offensive, you must be prepared to be punished. Don't expect others to tolerate you."

You Zhi gave her a good beating, and the Amazoness Princess, who was initially defiant and scolding him, gradually began to admit her mistake and beg for mercy.

"Do you know you were wrong?"

"Knew."

"Apologize."

"Sorry."

You Zhi put the other person down with satisfaction.

The Amazoness Princess rubbed her sore, numb bottom and muttered, "Even my mother has never hit me like this."

"The lack of proper family education will eventually be compensated for by the harsh realities of society."

You Zhi wasn't about to let the other party have their way, urging, "Hurry up and show us your third characteristic; this little bit of pain won't take away much of your life force."

The Amazoness Princess had already grasped her master's strength and personality, and was thinking of taking revenge after she evolved and became stronger in the future. For now, she obediently complied.

With approximately 500 life force sacrificed, an adorable tiger cub appeared out of nowhere.

[Amazoness Pet Tiger (2-star) Location]

[Genealogy: General]

[Level: 21] 155

[Attack Power: 500 (775)]

[Defense: 500 (775)]

[Beast-Type, Effect: Omitted]

The Amazoness Princess habitually straddled her pet tiger cub, but the moment she sat down, she gasped, then looked at You Zhi with a pitiful expression, hoping he would let her go for the time being.

You Zhi ignored it, thinking that this minor injury would be easily repaired in a day by simply retrieving the Pokémon Card, so he gave orders and carefully tested it.

It was finally confirmed that the pet tiger did not become a new spirit along with the princess; they are still considered two separate individuals. Their attack and defense stats do not stack. When attacked, the pet tiger can share the damage for the princess, but if the princess falls, the pet tiger will disappear—it can only exist as a mount.

After that, You Zhi stopped bothering the Amazoness Princess, put the restless girl back into his Pokémon Card, left Mt. Mortar, arrived in Mahogany Town, and made a challenge appointment at the gym.

North of Mahogany Town lies Lake of Rage. In the Pokémon Yugi storyline, Team Rocket emitted a special electromagnetic wave, causing a Gyarados in Lake of Rage to mutate, allowing players to capture their first Flash Pokémon from the story.

Now that You Zhi has thwarted Team Rocket's plans in advance, rendering their scheme futile, the mutated Pokémon corresponding to the Red Gyarados no longer exists.

As You Zhi pondered how to pass the time before the gym challenge, he headed to the local Rage Candy Bar shop, where they sold Rage Candy Bar, a specialty that even Pokémon could eat and which could be used to remove bad status effects.

Then, he encountered an unexpected person at the store entrance.

"Mr. Adu, what are you doing here?"

You Zhi was puzzled. He knew that in the Yugi's storyline, Team Rocket's research base for special signals was located in the basement of the Rage Candy Bar Shop, but Team Rocket's attempt to seize the Radio Tower had already failed, so there was no point in researching special signals at this base.

Could it be that the plot forces the Team Rocket to have a new scheme?

A-Du recognized You Zhi, whom he had met once before, and knew that Yu-Chi was also Pokédex holder and had eliminated many Anomaly, leaving a good impression. So he nodded and said, "I have some things to discuss with Pryce."

After a brief pause, he invited, "If you have time, why don't you come along?"

You Zhi thought to himself, "What kind of plot is this? Could it be that Pryce is going down the same path as in the Pokémon Adventures and becoming the villainous boss?"

He was always interested in events that reeked of conspiracy, so he readily agreed.

With Adu leading the way, the two met Pryce without any trouble. He was an elderly man with gray hair and a receding hairline. He wore a white scarf around his neck. Although he was using a cane, he was upright and energetic. He was the type of person who would give up his seat to young office workers on the bus.

You Zhi could tell from the other person's appearance that it had nothing to do with the Pokémon Adventures's plot, because in the Pokémon Adventures, Pryce sat in a wheelchair every day to reduce suspicion, pretending to be old and weak, which was very different from the image in front of him.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Adu got straight to the point. "Master Pryce, I heard that thirty years ago, you encountered a very powerful elf near the shrine in the Ilex Forest."

Pryce fell into reminiscence. "That's true. Thirty years ago, I was young and arrogant. I spent three years collecting all eight gym badges. From then on, I became arrogant and looked down on other trainers until I met that wild Pokémon and got a good beating from it. Only then did I put my mind at ease."

You Zhi thought to himself: The shrine in the Ilex Forest... isn't that Pokémon, the mythical Pokémon with the ability to travel through Celebi?

A-Du then asked, "What's the name of that spirit?"

"Timelord."

(The host: Last night was truly agonizing. My limbs were cold, my body was hot, my whole body ached, my head was spinning, and my eyes hurt. I tossed and turned in bed, waking up every half hour. The thought that the epidemic can't be eradicated and will come back from time to time made me want to say, "Destroy it, hurry up!")

Chapter 229 Timelord

"Anomaly appeared in the shrine in the Ilex Forest. Unlike the Anomaly we've encountered before, this one has a very strong aura, yet it's also remarkably gentle. We've observed it for over half a month, and there's not a single sign of it going berserk. But ignoring it isn't a good idea, Lorelei tried to clear it away, but it never returned," Adu confessed.

"Even with Lorelei's power, she couldn't solve it, which proves that this Anomaly is indeed not simple. If I were to go, I probably wouldn't be of much help either."

Both are skilled with Ice-type Pokémon, and Pryce and Lorelei have had friendly sparring matches.

A-Du agreed, "That's exactly what we were thinking. We didn't have anyone else follow up. This time, I plan to go myself, but gather as much intelligence as possible."

"Although I don't think it's related to the Timelord I encountered back then, there's nothing I can't say," Pryce said with a reminiscing expression. "Thirty years is a long time, but compared to the impression it left on me, it's still vivid in my mind. According to my calculations afterward, the Timelord should be Ten-Star spirit, and it has the characteristic of being immune to damage. I tried every means possible, but I couldn't cause it any harm. And every time it attacked, it would return my spirit to the Pokémon Card."

A-Du hurriedly asked, "Just returning the Pokémon Card?"

"Yes, I don't know if it disdained to attack or was limited by its own characteristics, but in any case, the Timelord did not harm my spirit, and I was helpless against it. It was like a wall of sighs, standing there, and you could do nothing but sigh."

"... Thank you for your information. I will take it seriously."

Pryce didn't say much. He glanced at You Zhi beside him and said, "Kid, did you come to book a dojo challenge today?"

"Hmm, can the gym leader remember everyone who comes to challenge him?"

"How could that be? It's just that trainers who come to challenge for the seventh badge are relatively rare, making them easier to remember. Since you were brought by Lance, I'll simply issue you a challenge. If you can help resolve this Anomaly, you can take the badge from here."

A-Lun did indeed have the idea of asking You Zhi for help, but he didn't want to cause trouble for Yu-Chi's gym challenge, nor did he want to make it a threat. He quickly said, "This Anomaly is much more difficult than the challenge for the seventh badge."

Pryce didn't take it to heart. "I know, so this is an optional mission. If you choose to give it up, you can also honestly take on the dojo challenge."

You Zhi nodded. "I will consider it carefully."

As the two left the dojo, You Zhi couldn't help but ask, "Why does Mr. Wataru think I can be of help?"

Adu didn't hide anything. "Half a month ago, the world underwent a strange change. After I traced the source, I went to the sea and happened to see you commanding the combined form of the Three Sacred Beasts to fight against the giant serpent. I have to admit, it was indeed a battle beyond reason. Even I wouldn't have much of a chance of winning."

I see. Then there's no need to pretend.

"I am very interested in this Anomaly; please let me lend a hand."
