It was clear that Alka had no malicious intent. He was simply curious about Basalt.
Hearing this, Basalt naturally couldn't refuse. When soone doubts your level to your face, what else can you do? Of course, you slap them in the face with proof! Basalt's favorite pasti was teaching people a lesson!
"Prince Alka, I'm actually just at the level of China's Second Division League. Please go easy on later." Basalt appeared very humble.
Alka was Abdullah's nephew, so naturally, he was also a prince of the Saudi Royal Family. However, there were simply too many mbers of the Saudi Royal Family; official statistics counted over five thousand princes alone.
Those like Abdullah were core princes, with a chance to ascend to the throne. Those like Alka were a bit lesser; leaving aside the lack of chance to ascend, their status and assets were far inferior to Abdullah's. As for the lowest tier of distant princes, they were actually not much different from ordinary people and had to work to support their families. The title of Prince only proved their ancestors were once wealthy!
"Second Division League? Then there's indeed room for improvent!"
Hearing this, Alka patted Basalt's shoulder and said proudly, "To tell you the truth, I am a player in the Saudi First Division League, and I have so fa in the league. This is why my uncle values . All this ca from my hard training of three hours every day."
"Training only three hours a day?" Basalt's mouth twitched uncontrollably. You have the nerve to say three hours? And with such a proud face?
In China, let alone diligent players, even ordinary university students trained for more than three hours a day. But seeing Alka's proud look, he must be considered very diligent in the Saudi Alliance.
"No wonder the Saudi Alliance is only a third-rate power. God gave you massive wealth, but also fostered your bad habit of not enduring hardship." Basalt shook his head.
In his previous life, he had heard a term called the "Resource Curse." So alliances had overly abundant natural resources, which instead limited their national developnt.
Seeing Basalt's strange expression, Alka thought he had discouraged Basalt, so he quickly corrected himself, "But you are in China's Second Division League; the gold content isn't much worse than our First Division League. Don't be discouraged."
After speaking, Alka led Basalt to a closed training ground. As a high-end hotel in the capital, a battlefield was a necessary facility.
"Basalt, you are the guest, so I'll send out my Pokémon first!"
Standing on the battlefield, Alka took out his first Pokéball and laughed loudly, "My starting Pokémon is this guy; I think you should find it familiar."
With that, Alka threw the Pokéball with force.
It was a large canine Pokémon with fluffy flaxen fur covering its face. Its eyes turned brown, and its body had black and orange tiger-like stripes. Fur surrounded its legs, and it had a long tail, looking majestic.
"Arcanine!" Basalt's gaze focused.
Arcanine was a signature Pokémon of China. Although China had obtained Pokémon from other regional alliances through international exchanges over the years, its native Pokémon inevitably flowed out as well. But when it ca to who raised the best Arcanine, one still had to look at China. This was the accumulation of thousands of years of heritage, not easily leveled.
"In that case, you go!" Basalt released Nul.
"Donk~"
After Nul appeared, its eyes were slightly unfocused and listless, looking harmless. But as its trainer, Basalt knew its nature too well. In terms of acting heritage, Nul was at the level of an Oscar winner in Basalt's team.
"Huh? Nul?" Alka was confused.
Wasn't it said that China, being one of the five major alliances, had a Second Division with gold content comparable to the First Division of small countries? But a Nul... wasn't it a bit... too weak?
On the battlefield, the tall and mighty Arcanine ford a sharp contrast with the sluggish and short Nul. Just looking at appearances, Nul was almost crushed!
"Roar~"
Arcanine raised its head and howled, then looked down at Nul from above. Soon, a dim light lit up on Nul. Clearly, this Arcanine's ability was Intimidate!
Soon, the battle officially began!
"Arcanine, Fire Blast... forget it, start with Flathrower!" Alka didn't want to be too heavy-handed right away; this was going easy.
Hearing this, Basalt laughed and shouted, "Nul, we'll counter with Flathrower too."
If Arcanine had used Fire Blast directly, Nul would definitely have countered with Eruption. But since Alka went easy, Basalt definitely had to reciprocate. Face was mutual!!!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two Pokémon, one left and one right, each spewed a scorching pillar of fire from their mouths.
However, it was obvious that Arcanine's fire pillar was thicker, while Nul's was slightly pocket-sized.
"Phew... luckily I held back in ti. Otherwise, if Fire Blast one-shotted Nul, Basalt would definitely lose face. If I offended Basalt, Uncle would definitely bla !"
On the command platform, Alka was still secretly rejoicing over his wise choice.
But the next second, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Because when the large and small fire pillars collided, Nul's pocket-sized fla seed to carry a peculiar magic, actually absorbing and rging Arcanine's fla directly.
Finally, the two flas ford a massive firestorm, sweeping towards Arcanine.
"How can this be?" Alka was shocked.
What kind of strategy was this? He had never heard of or seen it before!
Boom!
The firestorm swept through, and Arcanine let out wails from within, evidently suffering considerable damage.
When the flas dissipated, Arcanine's smooth flaxen fur inevitably turned scorched black, its image plumting. Moreover, faint wisps of fla wrapped around Arcanine's body, and it showed a painful expression. This was the sign of being burned.
Seeing this, Alka was dumbfounded. This plot was different from what he expected!
"Nul, Earthquake!" Basalt continued to issue commands.
"Donk~"
A gleam flashed in Nul's eyes, Ground-type energy surged within its body, and the earth imdiately shook violently.
"Arcanine, quick, use Protect!" Alka was numb, muttering, "Is the power of Earthquake this great too?"
The power of this Earthquake was simply excessive. Before the earthquake swept through, a semi-transparent light film rose around Arcanine, blocking the shockwaves outside.
Unfortunately, the Protect move couldn't last long. And Nul's Earthquake, inherited from Excadrill, was very persistent; the ground shaking simply wouldn't stop. So after two or three seconds, when the Protect shield dissipated, Arcanine fell directly.
"Is this the standard of China's Second Division League? Isn't it too strong?" Alka looked at Basalt with surprise in his eyes.
However, he didn't want to admit defeat easily.
So after recalling Arcanine, he threw his second Pokéball.
It was a Pokémon with an egg-shaped body covered in white fluffy fur. It had broad triangular wings, red and blue triangular spots on its lower abdon, and two very small feet close together. The spike-like object on the front opened into a three-part crest, with the middle part white from bottom to top.
"Togekiss?" Basalt's eyelid twitched slightly.
Truly worthy of being Abdullah's nephew; the Pokémon raised were all of the sa lineage—rare and precious.
"Extre Speed!" Alka waved his hand, his face regaining its luster.
After evolving, Togekiss automatically learned the Extre Speed skill, a trump card move he valued highly.
Its body suddenly flashed into white light, and Togekiss instantly arrived above Nul's head from dozens of ters away, hamring down heavily on Nul's body.
Unfortunately, Togekiss was a Special Attacker; its physical attack ability was a bit weak, so the hit wasn't very painful. Nul just grunted and squatted slightly.
Conversely, Togekiss suddenly let out a scream and fell to the ground.
"What happened this ti?" Alka was sowhat frantic. After facing this Nul, he felt nothing went right.
Focusing on Togekiss, Alka quickly found the problem. The wing Togekiss used to hit Nul was now red all over, with faint fla patterns on it.
This was... burned again!!!
"I haven't heard that Nul's abilities include Fla Body!" Alka was bewildered.
With its wing injured, Togekiss's flying condition plumted, flying very slowly. Nul seized the opportunity to spew scorching gas from its hump, covering the entire venue.
Togekiss had nowhere to hide, and the burns on its body worsened continuously. Finally, Nul successfully finished it off with Rock Tomb, securing a double kill.
"I don't believe it! I can be rubbed into the ground by a Nul!"
Losing consecutively, Alka got really fired up.
So, he threw his third Pokéball.
It was a blue-bodied Pokémon with white objects on its neck and two fins that looked like ears. It had dark blue stripes on its body extending to the tail, which was shaped like a fish's tail fin.
