Stone Plate!

At that moment, Old Dou appeared before Yuanen Yehui.

Yuanen Yehui looked at the figure who had suddenly stepped in front of her. His deep crimson cloak fluttered in the wind, and an inexplicable sense of security rose within her.

Old Dou turned to look at Yuanen Yehui.

Their gazes met.

Yuanen Yehui saw a pair of calm, unruffled eyes.

Old Dou reached out and grasped the air before Yuanen Yehui, and a Slate appeared.

The Slate was brown, covered in intricate patterns.

Stone Plate!

Old Dou held the Stone Plate in his hand as a heavy power surged into his body.

This was the power of rock.

Old Dou raised his hand, drawing upon the Stone Plate's power.

An illusory image of Arceus appeared behind him. Immediately afterward, his deep crimson armor began turning brown.

Then, chunks of rock rose from the ground one after another.

Rock-type move: Rock Tomb

Power: 100

Description: Attacks by impaling the opponent with sharp stones. It is likely to strike a vital point.

The sharp stones rising from the ground around Old Dou enveloped all the new students.

The sharp stones converged inward, forming a stone spire.

That Shadow Ball slammed straight into the stone spire.

Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out through the hall, and the surrounding walls collapsed with it.

Yet the stone spire still stood firm, like a mountain.

Inside the stone spire, Yuanen Yehui looked at the figure standing before her.

She watched as sharp stones rose one after another, tightly protecting them within.

A sense of security welled up in her heart.

Old Dou waved his hand, and the surrounding sharp stones turned into tiny brown motes of light and vanished.

Only then did Zhuo Shi and Feng Wuyu arrive belatedly. They first came to Old Dou's side and confirmed that the new students were safe.

Old Dou spread out his senses.

"The fifth Slate got away?"

After sensing carefully, he confirmed that he could no longer detect the fifth Slate's location.

When he reached the spot where Shadow had been blasted away, Shadow was nowhere to be seen. He had already fled!

Cai Yue'er walked in through a collapsed wall nearby, looking dejected as she said:

"Damn it, the other side's concealment techniques were too strong! And they ran far too quickly!"

Useless! Old Dou thought. If it had been Yun Ming, he probably would have taken them out with a single spear strike!

Now that the fifth Slate had escaped, who knew when they would encounter it again.

"Are you all right?" Cai Yue'er asked Old Dou. She truly had been careless.

If she had gone all out, perhaps there would not have been so much trouble.

Or she could have waited for Zhuo Shi and Feng Wuyu's support.

With three Super Douluos surrounding the enemy, it would have been difficult for them to escape.

"Cough." Old Dou sighed. "I'm fine!"

He still felt somewhat pained over losing the fifth Slate.

Fortunately, the third Slate was already in his pocket.

At this moment, the new students had been gathered in a safe place.

Today had truly opened their eyes.

Battles between Super Douluos were rarely seen, but they had also been terrified out of their wits.

They had come within a hair's breadth of death.

Fortunately, Old Dou had been there.

"Your Excellency!" Yuanen Yehui saw Old Dou approach her and immediately dropped to one knee. "Thank you for saving my life!"

The other new students did the same. Their gratitude toward Old Dou for saving them came from the bottom of their hearts.

Without Old Dou, they would undoubtedly have died.

"There's no need for that." Old Dou stepped forward and helped them up.

"Your Excellency, are you a teacher from Shrek?" someone asked curiously.

Old Dou shook his head. "No. I am one of the Team Rocket's Eighteen Elders. You may call me Old Dou!"

"Team Rocket!"

Someone cried out in surprise, clearly knowing of the Team Rocket.

"Take this." A Pokémon Egg appeared in Old Dou's hand, which he handed to Yuanen Yehui.

"This is?" Yuanen Yehui asked, completely bewildered.

"I took something of yours. Consider this compensation," Old Dou said.

Yuanen Yehui hurriedly waved her hands. "There's no need. You saved me, Your Excellency. If you like that thing, then please take it!"

"It's fine, take it." Old Dou forcibly stuffed the Pokémon Egg into Yuanen Yehui's arms, along with a red-and-white Poké Ball.

"This..." Yuanen Yehui reluctantly accepted the Pokémon Egg and looked at Old Dou.

"I'm leaving." With that, Old Dou turned and departed. It was time for him to leave as well.

Yuanen Yehui watched Old Dou leave. She also wanted to become a powerful person like him.

Old Dou left Shrek and turned back for one final look at Shrek's gates.

The fifth Slate.

They could only wait until later, when they could accurately determine the Slate's location, before dispatching Team Rocket members to capture it.

As for the fourth Slate, they could wait until Su Yu enrolled at Shrek and then entered the Inner Courtyard.

That was also one of the proper ways to enter Sea God Island.

The other methods of obtaining Slates were too dangerous.

To be safe, they would consider obtaining that Slate later.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

The sun was bright.

At Eastsea Academy's training field.

Su Yu sat on a bench to the side, watching the other Class Zero students undergo physical training.

He had finished his training early, and he had even exceeded the assigned task.

He was resting, but his eyes unconsciously drifted toward Gu Yue.

He kept watching her.

Just then, Tang Wulin finished his physical training and came over to sit beside him.

Tang Wulin asked curiously, "Hey, how are things progressing between you and Gu Yue?"

Su Yu snapped back to his senses. "Nothing's progressing! We're just ordinary classmates!"

"Really?"

Tang Wulin smiled and did not pursue the subject. Instead, he asked:

"I feel like Stufful is being affected by my bloodline. Could something bad happen?"

After hearing Tang Wulin's brief explanation, Su Yu was somewhat curious as well. "Summon it and let me take a look!"

"Okay?" As he spoke, Tang Wulin took out the Poké Ball at his waist. As the Poké Ball opened, Stufful appeared.

In an instant, Su Yu's gaze fell upon Stufful.

"Let me take a closer look!" He directly picked Stufful up and examined its physical condition.

At first, the examination seemed harmless, but as he checked, Su Yu sensed a dragon-type aura within Stufful's body.

"It really became Dragon-type?" Su Yu muttered involuntarily.

Golden Dragon Stufful: Normal and Dragon!

"Is something wrong?" Tang Wulin asked.

Su Yu put Stufful down and said:

"There's no problem. You could call it an alternative evolution. Influenced by your bloodline, Stufful mutated and gained a power that did not originally belong to it. It should be a good thing."

"As long as it's fine!" Tang Wulin patted his chest.

Su Yu looked at Tang Wulin, then at Stufful.

What if he borrowed some Golden Dragon King Origin from Tang Wulin to create new Pokémon? Or used the templates of other Pokémon to create mutated Pokémon?

For example, a Golden Dragon King Charizard or a Golden Dragon King Garchomp.

At that thought, Su Yu's eyes lit up. He looked at Tang Wulin and asked:

"Wulin, could you lend me some of your bloodline power?"

Even his tone became more intimate.
