While Mu Yun was thinking, two Pokémon had already appeared on the battlefield.
Liu Jianhao had sent out his Arcanine, which had evolved using a Fire Stone.
Since its held item was not a Pokémon Treasure that accelerated growth, Arcanine's level was not particularly high—only level 24.
Among all the competitors in the group stage, that was neither particularly low nor high.
Mu Yun turned his gaze toward the Pokémon in front of Liu Hesheng.
It was a humanoid Pokémon whose entire body was a deep purple.
Clad in armor, with blades formed from purple flames for hands and fire dancing in its eyes, it looked imposing.
It was Ceruledge, one of the Ghost-type Pokémon!
According to legend, Ceruledge was the reincarnated spirit of a powerful, heavily armored swordsman, born from the resentment that gathered after his death.
Of course, that was only folklore.
In truth, because of their peculiar traits and elusive movements, every Ghost-type Pokémon had its own "urban legend."
With that thought, Mu Yun activated the Data Eye, and a panel even more outrageous than that of Lü Jiayi's Heracross appeared before him.
