"The names of the top four have been decided. Everyone, take a break." The Frost Wolf Instructor looked at Lan Ling, who walked like a zombie, hoping she could recover from the blow, otherwise, she would easily be ruined by her lack of mental fortitude.
Although Team Rocket was a dark organization, not giving up was an unwritten rule of Team Rocket.
"What a waste." A beauty with golden hair and a slender figure, wearing Team Rocket's high-ranking uniform, watched the entire match hidden in the dark.
"To not even enter the top four is truly disappointing." A Houndoom stood beside the beauty. This beauty was one of Team Rocket's Four Generals, Athena.
"How disappointing. I rushed over enthusiastically, only to be heavily defeated. Lian Ji is one thing, but Lan Ling actually capsized in a ditch, that's truly embarrassing. Good thing the other three generals didn't perform worse than me, so I didn't fall into an object of ridicule." Athena walked back in her high heels, and the sound of clack-clack-clack echoed in the corridor.
"Let's go, Houndoom, there's nothing left to see here." Athena followed Houndoom and used Teleportation to disappear.
Qing Wu suddenly looked up at the spot where Athena had just disappeared. He always felt that someone was suddenly watching him. It was strange.
"Is this my illusion?" Qing Wu touched his head in confusion. Just now, he felt someone observing the whole arena.
"That was Athena just now, what a grand aura. She comes and goes freely in my trial ground." The Frost Wolf Instructor said with a somewhat unhappy expression.
"Alright, everyone's gone. Is it interesting to still grumble behind their backs? Should we call them back and say it to their faces?" Qing Wu glanced at the Frost Wolf Instructor.
The Frost Wolf Instructor gave a wry smile and said nothing more.
"Tsk, according to my secret intel, both Raichu and Avis secretly defected to Qing Wu." Qing Wu said quietly to Cangmu.
"Why are you so nosy? With so many powerful figures, wouldn't it be better to let the 'rat' hidden in Team Rocket find them?" Cangmu glanced at Qing Wu disdainfully.
However, Qing Wu was very satisfied with this answer in his heart. For many years, the elite talents among the trial-takers had been taken away by the Four Generals and Three Beasts.
{ps: 'Rat' means spy}
This finally allowed Team Rocket's dark division to breathe a sigh of relief.
Qing Wu and Cangmu walked onto the arena at this moment, looking at each other.
"Qing Wu, I never expected that we would finally face each other." A hint of red appeared on Cangmu's pale face, looking very excited.
A pair of golden pupils reflected Qing Wu's figure, as if seeing a favored prey.
Qing Wu disliked Cangmu's eyes, which were filled with madness. They were eyes filled with pathological obsession.
His interactions with Cangmu in his previous life were limited, but he heard from others that when Cangmu set his sights on someone, Cangmu would reveal a pathological red glow.
"Come out, Fearow!" Because the only Pokémon Qing Wu registered in Team Rocket was Fearow, and Qing Wu didn't want to expose too many of his trump cards, Qing Wu sent out Fearow this time instead of Crobat, who was more effective against Poison-types.
Qing Wu's current Pokémon, Arceus and Raichu, only knew Crobat and Fearow.
Fearow flapped its wings and flew out of the Poké Ball, looking spirited.
Now, Fearow could use Tailwind's effect. Even without flapping its wings, it could stay in the air for a period of time.
"Come out, Seviper!" Cangmu indeed sent out Seviper. Seviper's toxicity was stronger than Arbok's, and Seviper could not only secrete venom from its fangs but also from its scythe-like tail.
"Qing Wu, if I defeat you this time, I'll let you off. We'll call it even." Cangmu felt his blood boil from this long-awaited battle.
"Cangmu, if I defeat you this time, I'll let you off. We'll call it even," Qing Wu said to Cangmu with a cold laugh.
"Seviper, use Scary Face!" Cangmu was the first to speak, initiating this battle.
Cangmu had observed Qing Wu's battles. The most powerful thing about Qing Wu's Fearow was its speed.
Actually, Lian Ji's command just now was also correct, but Lian Ji underestimated Fearow's speed.
Scary Face can lower the opponent's speed, making the target's speed drop by two stages when hit by Scary Face.
"Fearow, close your eyes!" Qing Wu's countermeasure against Serperior's Glare and Scary Face was to make his Pokémon close its eyes to avoid interference.
"Good chance!!! Seviper, use Poison Sting!" Seviper raised its head and shot a torrential rain of poison needles like falling pear blossoms towards Fearow.
"Fearow, dodge Poison Sting!" Fearow was like the most excellent waltz dancer. Even with its eyes closed, it could dodge Seviper's torrential attack.
"So that's it. I actually didn't think of this. Fearow can dodge Seviper's Poison Sting attacks through ultrasonic waves even with its eyes closed." Cangmu stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, as if a poisonous snake was flicking its tongue.
"And your Fearow, if I'm not mistaken, should have developed a habit of being assisted by Tailwind. Tailwind has become a passive skill, which is why your Fearow's speed is so fast." Cangmu exposed Qing Wu's trump card.
"I saw that when your Fearow took off, a faint white aura surrounded it. This is the secret to why it could stay in the air just now. Qing Wu, you are indeed my biggest rival! But my Seviper is not weak either! Seviper, use Poison Tail!" Cangmu said with a sinister laugh.
Seviper revealed its shiny, scythe-like tail and mercilessly slashed towards Fearow.
Poison was secreted from Seviper's tail, forming a purple flying blade that flew fiercely towards Fearow.
"Qing Wu-kun, do you know why I use Poison-type moves when battling Fearow?" Cangmu's eyes darted. His yellowish-black pupils stared intently at Qing Wu's eyes.
Qing Wu shook his head, although he had already guessed what Cangmu was about to say.
"Because I only know Poison-type moves!!! But after my Pokémon drink my poisonous blood, the power of their secreted venom will sharply increase!" Cangmu laughed loudly, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"No wonder this guy became a Poison-type Elite Four in his previous life. So he himself is a 'Poison Person'." Qing Wu suddenly understood.
A "Poison Person" is a human who has consumed various Pokémon toxins since birth. Their blood contains potent poison.
Even for small Poison-type Pokémon like Seviper and Scolipede, the toxins they secrete are like tonics for a "Poison Person."
The blood of a "Poison Person," even if a small Poison-type Pokémon touches it for a moment, will immediately go berserk and die.
The usual method of using a "Poison Person's" fresh blood is like making energy cubes: dilute the "Poison Person's" blood, mix it with other poisons, and turn it into a great tonic for small Poison-type Pokémon.
"This explains why this guy could become a Poison-type Elite Four so quickly in his previous life. It's because he himself is a 'legendary resource'." Qing Wu thought secretly. At this moment, Qing Wu looked at Cangmu's eyes as if he had seen a rare treasure.
The blood of a "Poison Person" was even a treasure that Qing Wu couldn't help but want to put under his command!
"I didn't expect him to be a Poison Person. What a pity!" He squinted and looked at Cangmu.
"There's nothing to pity. The lifespan of a Poison Person is inherently shorter than that of ordinary people. This kid should be a Poison Person cultivated by Agitha since childhood, but he's very close to Bias." As a leader of the dark division, he naturally knew many inside stories.
