Dinomorphia Therizia's Girl / C-Rank Forbidden Card ...

You Zhi hurriedly asked, "Can this Pokémon fly at high speed? If it's just at the level of the Insect Queen, then there's no need to introduce it."

"It should be fine," the receptionist quickly flipped through the informational brochure. "This elf's armor has a jet propulsion function, allowing for high-speed flight over short to medium distances."

"Armor? So this is a Machine-Type elf?"

"No, it's the Dragon-Type."

Chapter 250 The Dragon Girl with Fearphin

[Dark -Dinomorphia Spiked Dragon Queen (6-star)]

[Lineage: Steel, Fire]

[Level: 30]

[Talent: Ferocity]

[Attack Power: 4000 (1000)]

[Defense: 0 (0)]

[Dragon-Type, Effect: Omitted]

Upon seeing the other's appearance, You Zhi knew that it was very likely Dodrio from the Pokémon Yugi storyline—a creature that can fly without wings.

The Spiked Dragon Queen is a beautiful white-haired woman with a voluptuous, slender waist and long, shapely legs. She wears a tight-fitting mechanical armor with a thick, long Dragon Tail that ends in two rows of thermal spikes. The things that extend from her wrists and look like mechanical wings are actually a pair of high-temperature thermal blades.

"I have to admit, this elf's appearance is very much to the public's liking, and the data shows that her talent is also outstanding, so why did her owner trade her away?" You Zhi asked.

"Because she has a very volatile temper, is bloodthirsty and belligerent, and sometimes will disobey her trainer's orders and go into battle on her own initiative. Unfortunately, her trainer has a mild temper and is impossible to control. She often has to use her spiritual power to forcibly order her to obey, otherwise she simply won't listen. Over time, the two of them grew to hate each other, and their relationship deteriorated."

The receptionist neither concealed nor dared to conceal anything.

After all, trainers aren't ordinary people. If an ordinary person buys a house and finds they've been ripped off, they might weigh the pros and cons and decide they can't afford to wait, so they just have to accept it. But if a trainer finds they've been ripped off, they'll come knocking on their door.

With bodyguards protecting them, the boss won't be threatened, and the receptionists will become the targets of their anger. No matter how good the job is, it's not worth risking your life.

Only those with strength have the right to reason, and trainers are precisely the most powerful group in this world.

You Zhi asked, "What are their terms of exchange? Pokémon or money?"

The receptionist said, "The other party requests to exchange Pokémon. The conditions are: a female Pokémon of 6 stars or higher, with a gentle and obedient personality, and preference given to Ice-type and Fairy-type."

After listening, You Zhi speculated that the requirement of 6 stars ensured the strength of the Pokémon, since a weak Pokémon could not evolve to 6 stars. The requirement of a gentle personality obviously showed that he had a psychological trauma and wanted a Pokémon that was completely opposite to the Spiked Dragon Queen. The requirement to prioritize Ice-type and Fairy-type was obviously to deal with Dragon-type, which was understandable, since most trainers in Blackthorn City had Dragon-type Pokémon.

"Has this elf been hanging here for a long time?"

"It's been almost a year," the receptionist chimed in without mincing words, "Actually, if you think about it, why would I trade with him if I had a suitable Pokémon? Wouldn't it be better to keep it for myself?"

Of course, it's aimed at the Ferocious Rank talent.

However, You Zhi also knew that others, without his cheat codes, wouldn't dare gamble on uncertain things and would only try to find a sucker by becoming the trainer of the Spiked Dragon Queen.

On the other hand, if there weren't so many conditions, the Spiked Dragon Queen would have been traded away long ago. There was no way he would have gotten his hands on it. After all, the opponent's characteristics are not bad. It belongs to the Berserker style, and its combat power increases as its health decreases. It may not be very eye-catching in his team, but for the general public, it is already a very good Pokémon.

"Guest, would you like me to introduce the other six spirits?"

"No need, this one will do. I'll find a Pokémon that meets the exchange criteria and hold it for me for three days."

"Hey, are you sure, sir?"

The receptionist thought for a moment and felt it was necessary to remind them again, lest the other party feel she hadn't fulfilled her obligation to remind them, "Let me remind you again, this Pokémon has a very bad temper, and its personality is definitely not the spoiled type. Rather, it's arrogant and conceited, doesn't obey its trainer's commands, and sometimes even attacks its trainer. All of this is information we've confirmed through our investigation."

You Zhi is least afraid of Pokémon that would attack him. Now, even the Amazoness Empress under his command is behaving obediently. Sometimes, he feels like he's missing a bit of excitement.

"Don't worry, I'm mentally prepared. Even if I'm not satisfied afterward, I will never cause you any trouble; I'll just consider myself unlucky."

You Zhi glanced at the Spiked Dragon Queen again, and their eyes met. The other woman gave him a disdainful look, then reached down and slashed her neck, baring her teeth in a threatening manner.

"Haha, you're really full of energy!"

You Zhi responded with a friendly smile, which only made the Spiked Dragon Queen look down on him even more, her face full of disdain.

Upon hearing this, the receptionist did not try to persuade him further, simply assuming that You Zhi had a peculiar fetish. Besides, if the transaction could be facilitated, it would also benefit her. From her perspective, fulfilling her duty to remind him was enough.

"Okay, we'll hold it for you for a week. You'll need to pay a deposit for this, which will be included in the transaction fee if the deal goes through."

After leaving the agency, You Zhi thought for a moment and decided to head to the Ice Path to find a Pokémon that met his criteria.

It's likely that the trainer of the Spiked Dragon Queen had the same idea. After searching the entire Johto Region, there was no wild area where Ice-type Pokémon could be found more easily than the Ice Path. However, most people lingered in the ground tunnels, not daring to venture deeper.

When he arrived, You Zhi noticed several entrances leading to the underground, but he was in a hurry and didn't have much interest in exploring them. Now, however, he could use them.

This time, instead of summoning the Amazoness Empress, he summoned the Gem-Knight Lady Rose Diamond and the Magician's Valkyria. The former's Rock-type and the latter's Fighting-type are both effective against Ice-type.

He continued deeper into the cave, easily defeating any elves he encountered along the way, and as he penetrated further, the surrounding temperature dropped.

The Ice Path on the ground was only covered with a layer of frost in the corners, and the overall environment was slightly damp with little ice and snow. However, once you went underground, it turned into an ice cave, and even the ground was frozen into ice, so you could easily slip and fall.

Such a stark difference in environment is not naturally formed, but rather stems from the power of Ice-type Pokémon. Therefore, many people speculate that there is a god-level Ice-type Pokémon at the bottom of the Ice Path, but no one has confirmed this to date.

You Zhi wasn't interested in god-level Ice-type Pokémon. He already had an Icejade Aegirine, so there was no need to add a duplicate type. Unfortunately, he didn't encounter any Pokémon that met the exchange criteria along the way. They were all non-humanoid Pokémon, such as "Glacial Beast Blizzard Wolf," "Glacial Beast Polar Penguin," "Ice Hand," and "Frost Spirit of the Ice Barrier."

"It's a pity they require a 6-star or higher one, otherwise I could just go to Whirl Islands and pick an Ikejade Sprite."

As You Zhi was complaining, he suddenly heard the sounds of battle, mixed with the voices of trainers issuing commands.

Of course, that's not a big deal; there's no rule that only he can enter the depths of the Ice Path. The key point is that the voice sounds quite familiar.

Chapter 251 Class C Forbidden Card

You Zhi followed the sound and saw a blonde girl commanding Mammoth Elephant to fight a dinosaur covered in frost.

The battle between the two enormous creatures generated a powerful shockwave. Fortunately, the Ice Path was sturdy enough, and the ice covering the mountainside seemed to absorb the impact. So, although some ice fragments were scattered everywhere by the residual force, the cave itself did not shake noticeably.

Upon seeing her back, You Zhi recognized her immediately. It was Alisa, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. However, the Pokémon she was commanding was not the Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth, but the Advanced Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth. Clearly, during the time they hadn't seen each other, she had trained her Pokémon to evolve into an evolved form.

You Zhi glanced at it with his cheat code. Compared to its previous form, the Advanced Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth's star rating and base stats remained unchanged, but it gained the powerful traits of being able to nullify the target once per turn and being able to nullify attacks once per turn.

However, like the Malefic series, Greater Crystal Beast require the support of a specific environment. Once the "Advanced Dark" is no longer available, they will destroy themselves.

Alisa's opponent was a Pokémon named "Frostosaurus." At first glance, You Zhi thought it was nothing special, just a normal Pokémon without any special abilities. Its description was, "Thanks to its dull senses and sensitivity, it possesses a life force that allows it to survive the Ice Age despite being covered in ice and snow, and its cold resistance is exceptionally strong." However, upon closer inspection, he was surprised to find that this 6-star Pokémon had a base Attack stat of 2600, which was even higher than that of the 7-star Dark Magus!

"I remember that among the 6-star Pokémon, the one with the highest attack power is the Synchro Monster 'Royal Guardian' with 2800. This Frostosaurus should be the 6-star Pokémon with the highest attack power without any special characteristics."

Suddenly, You Zhi remembered the Spiked Dragon Queen he had just met. She was also a 6-star Pokémon with an attack power of 4000. She was the 6-star Pokémon with the highest attack power base stat. However, her attack power was a bit inflated and not a normal value. Moreover, her defense was 0. Her overall stats were not as good as the Frostosaurus in front of him (Attack 2600/Defense 1700).

Amber Mammoth is weaker than Frostosaurus in all aspects, but it has a lineage advantage (Rock-type vs. Ice-type) and can use its ability to negate enemy attacks, which is equivalent to releasing an extra move "Protect" every once in a while. Over time, the balance of power can be reversed.

"For the final blow, no need to dodge, use Rock Blast to end the battle!"

Following Alisa's instructions, the Amber Mammoth raised its long trunk, taking the Frostosaurus Brachiosaurus head-on without yielding an inch, and summoned a massive Rock-type to smash into its opponent.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Four consecutive Rock-type shots slammed the Frostosaurus to the ground.

Instead of destroying its opponent, Alisa took out a Pokémon Card to capture it.

"Will this Pokémon be of any use to you?" You Zhi asked.

Upon hearing the voice, Alisa's expression instantly turned wary, but when she turned around and saw who it was, her face immediately lit up with a bright, spring-like smile, as if the ice cave had warmed up considerably.

"You Zhi, it's been a long time!"

Alisa jogged over and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"In order to capture the spirits that were traded with people."

You Zhi briefly explained the matter of trading Pokémon with others.

Alisa's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "I encountered a female elf of 6 stars or higher on the way here. She seemed very strong, and since she wasn't my target, I avoided her."

"Oh, that's perfect."

"I remember the way, come with me."

Alisa retrieved the Amber Mammoth and led the way while sharing her experiences during their separation with You Zhi. She did most of the talking, You Zhi listened, because many of You Zhi's experiences were inconvenient to share with others, as they could easily reveal secrets.

Alisa didn't seem to mind. In fact, she was a talkative person who preferred to speak rather than listen, so this suited her perfectly.

"... I heard someone encountered Frostosaurus on the Ice Path, so I came here just to try my luck. I never expected to actually find it, and even run into you. I really should thank the person who told me."

What makes the Frostosaurus unique?

You Zhi was quite puzzled. Although Frostosaurus's base stats were excellent, it was still a basic Pokémon. It might be an excellent Pokémon for an ordinary trainer, but for Alisa, who had Gem and Material Dragon, it was rather useless.

The reason why Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes White Dragon, both of which are vanilla monsters, are popular is because they have a large number of matching Spell Card and many evolution forms. However, You Zhi has never heard of any stronger evolution form for Frostosaurus Brachiosaurus. It itself is evolved from Brachiosaurus, which is a superior Fusion Form of Two-Headed King Rex and Corpse-Eating Dragon.

"What I'm interested in isn't Frostosaurus, but the Spell Card 'Cold Wave' associated with it. This card is only a C-rank, but it has the effect of preventing both the player and the enemy from using Spell Card for two turns, as well as preventing the use of face-down Spell Card. It's a very powerful restriction card. Actually Frostosaurus's devolved form, Brachiosaurus, can also be used as a summoning medium, but I haven't received any information about that," Alisa explained.

You Zhi suddenly realized that the effect of the Cold Wave was practically Forbidden Card for trainers who relied heavily on Spell Card. In particular, its effect only blocked the use and setting of Spell Card, while Spell Card that had already been activated remained unaffected. The holder could take advantage of this to set up an environment that was favorable to themselves, such as Field Spell Card, and then force their opponent to engage in two rounds of pure Pokémon melee combat.

"Actually, there's another Spell Card corresponding to 'Cold Wave,' called 'Heat Wave.' It's also a C-rank card, possessing the powerful effect of locking down the evolution of characteristic Pokémon for two turns. Unfortunately, it's only related to Brachiosaurus, and not to Frostosaurus, its evolved form."

The effect of Heat Wave is simpler and easier to understand. Some of You Zhi need to evolve in battle to unleash their full power, so they must be deployed in their unevolved form. If the opponent plays Heat Wave for two turns of lockdown, that Pokémon is basically doomed.

"By the way, You Zhi, you seem a little different than before."

"What's different?"

Alisa turned around, scrutinized her carefully for a moment, and hesitated before saying, "Your appearance doesn't seem to have changed much. It must be... your aura. Before, you had a sharp, unseen edge, like a razor-sharp sword. People could tell you were dangerous just by looking at you. Now, you're like a sword sheathed, looking ordinary. It's easy to mistake you for an ordinary person. Could it be that you've cultivated the legendary martial arts realm of 'Unity of Heaven-Man Unity'?"

Of course not.

You Zhi thought for a moment and concluded that it must be the effect of the Clear Mind, ensuring that one is always in a state of convergence.

He is not a proper martial artist, and the "Strength-Weakness Mimicry of Demeanor" he cultivates does not seem to be a proper martial arts technique either. The entire text only talks about how to become stronger, without mentioning state of mind. It is estimated that he will never be able to achieve Heaven-Man Unity in this lifetime.

However, one can learn from others' experiences and achieve a similar effect by cultivating Clear Mind.

Alisa wanted to ask more questions, but suddenly felt a cold wind on her face. She turned her head and looked around, saying, "Found it, this is it!"

Chapter 252 The Elf Who Once Missed Out

[Ice Queen (8-star) Water]

[Lineage: Ice]

[Level: 32]

[Talent: Strong]

[Attack Power: 2900 (2610)]

[Defense Strength: 2100 (1890)]

[Spellcaster, Effect: This Spirit cannot be resurrected from the Graveyard. When it is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, add 1 Instant-Activation Spell Card from the Graveyard to your hand.]

Alisa found a female elf with fair skin, wearing a simple crown, her hair made of ice crystals, and a snow-white princess dress adorned with several diamond-shaped ruby pendants. She held an ice crystal staff, her eyes hidden by ice crystal bangs, exuding a faint majesty without any sense of oppression.

Judging from the icy hair, the other party is not a pure human type Pokémon, but this degree of mutation is negligible to Pokémon trainers. Moreover, the trainer of the Spiked Dragon Queen only proposed a female Pokémon as a condition for the exchange, without requiring that it be a pure human.

Ultimately, the Spiked Dragon Queen wasn't exactly a normal human being either.

"Wild Pokémon above level 30 are quite rare."

You Zhi didn't resort to a sneak attack; instead, he entered the opponent's line of sight squarely, summoned the Zelda Goblin, and frankly told the wary Ice Queen, "I intend to subdue you. If you're unwilling, then resist with all your might. Although it won't affect the outcome, I personally suggest skipping this step to save both of our time."

Unfortunately, the Ice Queen did not heed his well-intentioned advice. She swung her staff and fired an Aurora Beam. Zelda Goblin blocked the attack with her steel shield, but the shield was immediately covered in ice, which the Goblin then smashed off with her hammer.

You Zhi said without any surprise, "Looks like you were rejected. Goblin, use Gear Frisbee!"

Zelda Goblin threw her shield at the opponent; Steel-type moves are effective against Ice-type.

Suddenly, a blue figure rushed into the battlefield from the side, raising a short spear to smash the shield back. At the same time, three more blue figures rushed out from the corner. One of them stabbed at the Goblin, but was blocked by the Goblin with Block Hammer. The other two went straight for You Zhi and Alisa to assassinate them.

The enemy might be planning a diversionary tactic, but Zelda Goblin remained unmoved and focused on fighting her opponent.

Alisa was slightly nervous and hurriedly pulled out the Pokémon Card from the void. But before she could summon the spirit, she heard two loud "bangs" and two assassins were sent flying backward at a faster speed than when they came. They crashed into the ice wall, sending ice shards flying, and then exploded on the spot.

"Uh, what happened?"

Alisa knew that You Zhi must have done something, but she hadn't seen him make any moves at all.
