Mu Li felt a bit awkward; his only non-divine Pokémon was Togekiss.
While Togekiss wasn't particularly strong, having just reached Heavenly King Level, Mu Li would still rather let Mewtwo fight than Togekiss.
Because even though Mewtwo was strong, he knew when to stop and how far to go, but Togekiss was different; her battles were completely uncontrollable! No, strictly speaking, Togekiss's battles were utterly unreasonable.
Mu Li didn't know why, but Togekiss seemed to possess a magical power, specifically, whenever Togekiss used a move, that move could randomly stack an unknown number of times.
In other words, if Togekiss used a Dazzling Gleam, the result would be Dazzling Gleam * N times, where N was an indefinite number, but usually no less than 100 times.
Mu Li still remembered when she first evolved into Togekiss; Jigglypuff, with a thick skin, insisted on battling Togekiss, saying she wanted to test her newly gained strength. At that time, Togekiss was just entering Heavenly King Level, and Jigglypuff was already Champion Level.
With the thought of training Togekiss's mindset, Mu Li agreed.
Who would have thought that Togekiss would use an Air Slash at the start, and for some unknown reason, that Air Slash stacked an unknown number of times? By the time that Air Slash flew out, it had grown into a giant scimitar of unknown length.
Mu Li only remembered that one strike sliced off a mountain peak, scaring Jigglypuff to tears.
This wasn't the only time such a thing happened.
Another time, Blissey gave Togekiss an egg, and Togekiss cherished it so much she couldn't bear to eat it. She even specifically asked Mu Li for a small bag to carry it with her.
But unexpectedly, when she went out, her backpack broke, and the egg fell from the sky, landing right into the mouth of an Altaria.
Togekiss cried out of anger and directly unleashed an Aura Sphere at the Altaria. That Aura Sphere, like the Air Slash, stacked an unknown number of times, transforming from an Aura Sphere the size of a head into Sun Wukong's Spirit Bomb.
The Altaria was instantly knocked out cold.
Fortunately, the Spirit Bomb was eventually thrown into the sky and detonated by a recovering Togekiss, not harming any other people or Pokémon, merely stunning all the birds in the sky for dozens of kilometers around.
With these two incidents, Mu Li had drawn some conclusions.
According to Mu Li's analysis, Togekiss's moves would randomly amplify, but due to Togekiss's luck, most of the time, these moves amplified to an absurd degree, only occasionally releasing certain moves normally.
However, this randomness was truly terrifying; a Pokémon could die accidentally.
Since then, Mu Li dared not let Togekiss battle again. After all, Pokémon battles were, in the end, relatively friendly exchanges. What kind of situation would it be if you killed someone else's Pokémon in a battle?
Moreover, even if you didn't kill someone else's Pokémon, it would be even more inappropriate if the venue exploded and he had to pay for it.
Excluding Togekiss, there was also Ninetales.
It's just that Ninetales was still angry with Mu Li over the Hatterene incident recently.
Although Ninetales and Hatterene were now getting along like best friends, in Ninetales's words, this was a matter between them girls, and a separate matter from Mu Li.
So, even though their relationship was good, it didn't mean Ninetales wasn't angry with Mu Li anymore.
Mu Li didn't understand this logic, but he knew the result.
Even Mu Li shook his head when he saw Ninetales in a fit of rage.
Ninetales was holding a belly full of anger; if she were to unleash it now, the safety of others should be fine, but this bar would at least have to close for repairs tomorrow, if it still existed.
Excluding Ninetales and Togekiss, Gengar was too fond of playing pranks.
Let alone a battle with such a disparity in strength, even when he faced Mewtwo before, Gengar still almost gave Mewtwo psychological trauma.
If he were to enter the battle, Serperior would definitely not be able to sleep for half a month at night; he might even be completely broken.
As for Mewtwo, although he wasn't exactly his own Pokémon, if Mu Li spoke, He would certainly be willing to battle, but His appearance was simply too flashy.
So, after all that, it seemed that the most suitable Pokémon for battle in Mu Li's possession were only Them.
Mu Li took out his large backpack, and three Rowlet immediately squeezed their heads out of the bag.
So, the question is: Would you like to choose this Rowlet with the white bow, or this Rowlet with the red bow, or perhaps this Rowlet with the yellow bow as your battle opponent?
This was truly a difficult choice!
Not only was Zhang Linlin a bit speechless, even Li Yu couldn't stand it: "A Li, it's not me saying this, but you're really looking down on Linlin too much!"
Mu Li also said helplessly: "I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring any suitable Pokémon! The only ones I can use for battle are these three Rowlet."
To make everyone believe he wasn't joking, Mu Li even emphasized: "Don't underestimate these three Rowlet; Their strength is very strong."
Li Yu said exasperatedly: "Very strong? How strong? Don't tell me They can even defeat the Three Legendary Birds?"
Mu Li's mouth twitched, and he secretly thought: Oh my, are you the legendary prophet? You actually guessed correctly.
Seeing that Mu Li wasn't joking, Zhang Linlin became serious: "I'd like to see how strong 'very strong' really is, as you say."
However, looking at these three almost identical Rowlet, she also felt a bit absurd: Hopefully, Mu Li wasn't fooling her.
"Let's go with the one with the yellow bow." Zhang Linlin randomly pointed to the most active one.
"Oh, you chose well." Mu Li smiled and said, Grass-type against Electric-type, there was still a bit of an advantage.
Zhang Linlin didn't understand the meaning of Mu Li's smile and quickly stepped onto the battle stage.
The Rowlet with the yellow bow, which was Zapdos, also flew directly into the field, looking at the Serperior opposite, with the most friendly smile possible on her face.
But the Serperior on the other side was almost dumbfounded.
Zhang Linlin wasn't a Pokémon and couldn't feel the oppressive Aura emanating from Rowlet, but Serperior was at least a high-level Gym Pokémon, and a Pokémon with very keen senses.
Serperior almost immediately sensed the suppressed energy from Rowlet as soon as she came out of her Poké Ball.
"Good heavens! This is going to kill a snake! Mommy!" Rowlet's self-proclaimed friendly smile was no different from a demon's smile in Serperior's eyes, and Serperior's legs began to tremble.
Meanwhile, Zapdos on the other side of the field was pondering a difficult question—Rowlet is a Grass-type, how can I use Grass-type moves?
Unexpectedly, before He could even think of an answer to this question, the referee had already announced the start of the battle.
He subconsciously used His signature move—Thunder.
At this moment, Zhang Linlin hadn't even had time to give any commands, when a bolt of lightning struck directly from the sky.
Looking at this almost instantaneous Thunder, Zhang Linlin's pupils constricted: "Such fast Thunder."
Wait, that's not right! Thunder?
Whose Rowlet can use Thunder?
The speed of lightning was incredibly fast, and Zhang Linlin was too late to give commands. Fortunately, Serperior, seemingly out of survival instinct, instinctively dodged to the side, avoiding the central area of the lightning bolt.
Zhang Linlin was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that the lightning bolt, after striking the ground, did not disappear directly but continuously spread outwards from the point of impact.
Serperior, despite all her calculations, never expected that the lightning could conduct through the ground. Carelessly, she was directly hit by the aftershock of the lightning.
What she didn't expect even more was that this small aftershock of lightning directly knocked her out, completely losing her ability to battle.
Zhang Linlin was stunned, Li Yu was stunned, everyone in the entire bar was stunned.
What just happened?
I saw a Rowlet that could use Thunder instantly defeat a Serperior with one move?
And that lightning didn't even directly hit Serperior; merely the aftershock knocked Serperior down?
Mommy!
Am I seeing things?
Mu Li put Rowlet, no, Zapdos, back into his backpack and returned to the booth.
Everyone looked at Mu Li as if he were a monster.
"I told you early on, Their strength is very strong; don't underestimate Them." Mu Li shrugged.
Zhang Linlin had also returned by now; her eyes were clearly dazed. When she saw Mu Li, her first question was: "Why can that Rowlet use Thunder?"
Mu Li thought for a moment and said: "These three Rowlet are actually mutated specimens from a certain experiment. They lost their original Grass-type attribute and transformed into other attributes."
"For example, this Rowlet with the white bow has become Ice-type."
As if to corroborate Mu Li's words, Articuno exhaled a Frost Breath, freezing a wine glass on the table solid.
"And this Rowlet with the red bow is Fire-type."
Moltres also spewed a stream of fire into the air.
"You've seen the other one; the one with the yellow bow is Electric-type."
Mu Li didn't know how to explain all of this, so he could only make up a random reason.
"I knew it! Before, the news on TV said there was a foreign gene company that specialized in experimenting on Pokémon. I didn't believe it then, but now I do." Unexpectedly, the most supportive person was Wang Kai.
Mu Li could only give Wang Kai a kind smile: Thank you for your trust.
"Who says not? When I found these three Rowlet, They were almost at the end of Their lives." Mu Li said sadly, "To save Them, we spent a lot of money and effort."
The highest realm of lying is when ninety percent is truth, and the only lie is hidden within that one percent, a mix of truth and falsehood, making it impossible to discern.
"Don't look at how strong They are now; that strength was obtained at the cost of countless Pokémon lives, and even Their own lives were on the brink." Mu Li sighed.
"That's truly pitiful." Zhang Linlin clearly couldn't bear to hear such cruel facts, and tears were already welling up in her eyes.
The only person in the entire bar who was still somewhat skeptical was Li Yu.
