Chapter 831 Excellent things are always something to aspire to.
The bell of Lianhua Temple rang again, and the second battle began.
Huiyuan retrieved the Qilin, clasped his hands together, and closed his eyes for a moment.
When he opened his eyes again, there was a newfound calmness in them.
Huiyuan threw out a Poké Ball, and Medicham appeared from a white light.
Charem floated cross-legged in mid-air, his hands clasped together, a faint purple light swirling around him.
Çalhan's eyes were calm as still water, and his breathing was long and deep.
Li Shuwen recalled Electivire and threw out a second Poké Ball.
Gallade emerged from the white light, its twin blades unsheathed, their edges reflecting a cold, sharp light in the sunlight.
He looked at Çalem and nodded slightly, as if in a bow.
Çalem nodded slightly in return.
"Charem, Thunder Fist!" Huiyuan gave the first command.
Çalhan's right fist crackled with golden electricity as he charged toward Gallade.
"Gallopon, Fire Punch!" Li Shuwen commanded.
Gallade's right fist blazed with crimson flames as it met the attack head-on.
Fist against fist, boom!
Flames and lightning exploded, and the shockwave kicked up dust from the ground.
Medicham took five steps back, and Gallade took three steps back.
A gasp went up from the audience. "Charem's power is only two steps away? Master Huiyuan's Charem is no ordinary being!"
"A mental weapon." Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow.
Gallade's elbow blade glowed pink as it slashed towards Medicham.
"Yoga poses," Huiyuan said in a steady voice.
Çalem's body began to twist in a strange posture.
Sometimes it leans forward, sometimes it leans back, and sometimes it bends to the side.
Like a willow branch swaying in the wind, each twist and turn just barely avoids Gallade's slashes.
Gallade slashed several times, but each strike missed its mark.
Huiyuan explained, "This is a yoga pose I specially trained for Charem, imitating your Dragon Dance dodge from Shuwen."
"Excellent things are always something to aspire to."
In the audience, a young man wearing round-framed glasses sighed.
"That yoga pose dodging technique is really impressive! Gallade's Psychic Blade is so fast, yet it didn't land a single hit!"
A glint flashed in Gallade's eyes. His elbow blade glowed with a ghostly purple light.
Shadow Claw!
The speed suddenly increased to the extreme, and the sword light poured down like a torrential rain.
No matter how exquisite Çalhan's yoga poses are, they can't keep up with Gallade's speed.
The lightning fist barely managed to block a few attacks before being engulfed by the sword light.
A storm of dark purple blades enveloped Çalhan, and his body was constantly being sliced apart within the storm.
As the storm subsided, Çalem lay on the ground, covered in wounds, his life hanging by a thread.
Charem supported himself with both hands and slowly stood up, trembling, but his eyes remained firm.
Huiyuan's superpowers resonated with Charem, and purple light flowed between them.
"Mind Hammer!" Huiyuan clasped his hands together, connecting all his superpowers.
Medicham roared to the sky, his entire body radiating purple psychic power, transforming into a purple meteor as he charged toward Gallade.
"A spiritual blade." Li Shuwen's voice was calm.
Gallade's elbow blade glowed pink, and countless pink psychic blades condensed in front of her, transforming into waves that surged towards the purple meteor.
A purple meteor plunged into the pink wave, breaking through one, two, three layers of waves.
Then the speed slowed down, and Çalam's body was quickly swallowed up.
With the power of his mind hammer exhausted, Çalam was repeatedly cut down. Finally, the wave receded and he fell to the ground, his eyes filled with circles.
In the audience, someone exclaimed, "Although Medicham lost, being able to fight Gallade to this extent is enough to prove the strength of both Master Huiyuan and Medicham!"
Another person nodded, "If Master Huiyuan becomes the official abbot, he will definitely rank among the top in the Tokyo region."
Huiyuan retrieved Çalhan and remained silent for a moment.
Then he looked up at Li Shuwen, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
Huiyuan threw out the third Poké Ball.
The Crimson Lotus Knight emerged from the white light, his entire body covered in crimson armor, his helmet obscuring most of his face, revealing only a pair of red eyes.
He was clad in dazzling golden armor.
Huiyuan explained, "This Crimson Lotus Armored Rider has a rather peculiar origin."
"Last winter, a charcoal burner in Aoba City accidentally created a Pokémon from burnt charcoal."
"That master didn't know how to subdue him, so he asked me to subdue him. After I subdued him, I brought him back to the temple."
"He found a suit of armor left behind by an ancient mage in the warehouse, and after putting it on, he evolved into his current form."
"This humble monk even specially asked Dr. Kumoki to help me finally figure out the identity and abilities of the Crimson Lotus Knights."
Li Shuwen smiled slightly, retrieved Gallade, and threw out the third Poké Ball.
"Perfect timing, I have this here!"
Azure Flame Blade Demon emerged from the white light, drawing its twin swords, the blades wreathed in eerie purple flames.
"Red Lotus Armored Cavalry, cannon beam!" Huiyuan waved his hand and gave the order.
The Crimson Lotus Knights' armor closed to form a cannon muzzle, gleaming with a silvery-white light, and a thick metallic beam shot towards the Azure Flame Blade Demon.
"Avoid, Shadow Claw!" Li Shuwen ordered.
The Azure Flame Blade Demon's figure twisted in the air, and the Cannon Beam swept past its side.
He rushed towards the Crimson Lotus Knight, his sword blade glowing with a ghostly purple light, and slashed down.
The Crimson Lotus Knight raised his armor, which gleamed with a metallic sheen.
Iron Wall!
The Shadow Claw struck the shield, exploding into a shower of sparks.
The immense force knocked the Crimson Knight back two steps, but he managed to block the attack.
"Storm Flame Strike!" Huiyuan ordered.
Crimson flames erupted from the Crimson Lotus Armored Knight's body, and its speed suddenly increased as it crashed into the Azure Flame Blade Demon.
"The Sword of Regret," Li Shuwen commanded.
Azure Flame Blade Demon's twin swords ignited with a ghostly blue flame, clashing with Crimson Lotus Knight's charged flame attack.
boom!
Flames clashed, and the Crimson Armored Knights were driven back.
Huiyuan clasped his hands together and unleashed his superpowers at full strength.
"Crimson Armor Knight, Dragon Pulse!"
The Crimson Lotus Knight's shield glowed with a deep red light, and a red dragon-shaped energy surged out from the shield, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced towards the Azure Flame Blade Demon.
"The Sword of Regret!" Li Shuwen's expression remained unchanged.
Azure Flame Blade Demon wielded his twin swords, and azure flames condensed on the blades. Two beams of sword light cleaved the red dragon into three pieces.
The dragon shattered, and the Azure Flame Blade Demon burst forth from the fragments, its Shadow Claws slicing relentlessly at the Crimson Lotus Armored Knight.
The Crimson Lotus Knights' armor was marked with charred sword marks, and they let out low, painful cries.
The Crimson Lotus Armored Knight landed on the ground and struggled to his feet.
"Khenon!" Huiyuan's voice was hoarse as he unleashed his superpowers at full power.
The Crimson Lotus Knight closed its shield and aimed its cannon at the Azure Flame Blade Demon, where silver-white light condensed.
"Shadowball!" A white light flashed in Li Shuwen's eyes as well.
Azure Flame Blade Demon clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and a jet-black shadow sphere condensed into shape.
The Phantom Cannon collides with the Shadow Orb.
boom--!!!
Silver and black energies intertwined, exploding into a burst of light that engulfed the area.
The shockwave kicked up dust, and the audience raised their hands to shield their eyes.
As the light faded, the Crimson Lotus Knight lay at the bottom of the pit, his eyes closed.
Azure Flame Blade Demon adjusted its breathing, and it took it a while to return to normal.
In the audience, a middle-aged trainer exclaimed, "What immense power! This Crimson Knight is considered quite strong even among the Gym Leader's Pokémon!"
"It's truly remarkable that Master Huiyuan could raise such a Pokémon!"
The person next to him chimed in, "The Midas Touch truly lives up to his name. He can bring such a great improvement to Master Huiyuan with just a casual fight."
"I also want to have a fight with Master Huiyuan and experience the effects of his Midas Touch!"
