Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 167 Poison Skull Frog

Not only the three judges, but the entire audience stared wide-eyed.

Everyone held their breath, watching the wicked frog's body gradually lengthen.

The Bad Frog Festival, where the King of Bad Frogs is born each year, each has its own strengths.

However, this is the first Bad Frog to evolve during the Bad Frog Festival.

Miss Joy was a little confused. "If the King of Mischievous Frogs evolves into a Poison Skull Frog during the festival, can it still be considered the King of Mischievous Frogs?"

Ji Xian crossed his arms. "I think the Poison Skull Frog is more suitable for the title of King of Mischievous Frogs than the Mischievous Frog."

The festival administrator frowned. "But next year's winner, in the form of a 'Bad Frog,' will probably struggle to defeat the 'Poison Skull Frog,' won't he?"

Ji Xian frowned as well. "That is indeed a problem."

But the Bad Frog earned its title as the King of Bad Frogs through sheer skill.

Miss Joy had a sudden inspiration: "Since it's a festival prepared for the Delinquent Frog, then only the Delinquent Frog can participate."

"But until next year's festival begins, the title and crown of the King of Bad Frogs belong to this Poison Skull Frog."

What do you think?

Ji Xian and the administrator nodded. "That's a good idea."

"Miss Joy, please go and discuss this with Toxapex's trainer."

Miss Joey paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."

The crown originally intended for the Bad Frog is indeed a bit inappropriate to place on the head of the Poison Skull Frog.

The Poison Skull Frog has an extra pointed head, like a shark fin.

The crown of the King of Bad Frogs can only be worn sideways on the head of the Poison Skull Frog.

Miss Joey walked over to Li Shuwen and told him about the three judges' decision.

"I'm sorry, but the origin of the Bad Frog Festival is that the people of Wetland City worship Bad Frogs as their guardian deities."

"Your Bad Frog has evolved into a Poison Skull Frog, so you are no longer suitable to participate in the Bad Frog Festival."

Li Shuwen waved his hand, "Miss Joey, don't worry, I don't covet the title of King of the Bad Frogs, including this crown."

"I'm worried about accidentally breaking it, so I plan to leave it here and not take it back."

Miss Joy quickly said, "As the kings of this year's Bad Frogs, you are entitled to keep your crown for a year."

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "It's enough to wear it for now and satisfy the champion who wears a crown. A true king is not determined by a crown."

"What do you think, Poison Skull Frog?"

Compared to its pre-evolution form, the Poison Skull Frog has become much more open-minded.

Her demeanor has also become more composed.

Upon hearing Li Shuwen's question, the Poison Skull Frog calmly nodded and took off the crown from its head.

Hand it to Miss Joey.

"Guli~"

This left Miss Joey somewhat at a loss.

The crown was returned on the spot, just as the three judges had forced Poison Skull Frog to give up its status as the King of Bad Frogs.

Miss Joy was about to say something when Octavian came over.

"Miss Joey, Shuwen is my good friend. He's just that kind of person who doesn't care about fame or fortune. He's here to participate in the Bad Frog Festival."

"His goal was to evolve the Bad Frog into the Poison Skull Frog. Now that he's achieved his objective, the crown is no longer important."

That's right, more than the crown, Li Shuwen now wants to go back and test how much power the Poison Skull Frog has gained after its evolution.

The poison of the skeletal frog is many times more potent than that of the bad frog.

Moreover, its venom sac capacity is more than ten times that of the bad frog.

If the venomous stinger were to gently pierce the body, the released toxins would likely be too much for even a mud horse to withstand.

The selection of the King of Mischievous Frogs has ended, but the festival is still in full swing.

There were also numerous dazzling fireworks displays that lit up the brilliant night sky.

Li Shuwen found a good spot and released all his Pokémon to watch the spectacular fireworks together.

He even condensed a burst of true energy and fired it into the sky.

In the sky, it exploded into a dazzling white firework.

Following suit, Numerulong unleashed a dragon-shaped beam of light towards the sky.

It flew far across the sky before exploding into purple specks of light.

The scaled dragon also condensed a wave missile, shot it into the sky, and exploded into blue light spots.

Fiery Monkey's eyes widened as he suddenly realized that he usually indulged in punching.

Although Machamp asked Infernape if it wanted to learn the Energy Bomb.

Incineroar thought that the Energy Blast, such a long-range attack, was meaningless.

Instead, focus on honing your skills and making your punches more powerful.

Now, Primeape can only watch helplessly as Kommo-o launches Wave Missiles into the sky.

Fiery Monkey looked at Li Shuwen, wondering if it was too late for him to learn the True Qi Blast technique.

"Jiajia!"

Li Shuwen was somewhat amused and exasperated. "Fiery Monkey, you don't expect me to teach you how to use the Energy Blast right now, do you?"

Fiery Monkey nodded.

Fine, since Fiery Monkey wants to learn, then Li Shuwen is willing to teach him.

Immediately, Li Shuwen explained the key points of the True Qi Bomb to Fiery Monkey.

Don't forget to bring along the Poison Skull Frog. At its current level, it won't be difficult for the Poison Skull Frog to learn the Energy Blast.

Although Cong Youbing couldn't learn the True Qi Blast technique, he listened attentively to the lecture.

Cong Youbing felt he couldn't learn it, but after understanding how to use the True Qi Bullet...

When battling Pokémon, if anyone uses Focus Blast...

He can seize the key point and interrupt the opponent's gathering of true energy with a single sword strike.

As he listened, Cong Youbing learned how to gather energy for the True Qi Bullet.

I feel focused and invincible when wielding my sword.

All he could see were the weaknesses of the Fire Monkey.

As Primal was stared at by Farfetch'd's sharp eyes, Primal felt a tickle on one side of his body.

I unconsciously shifted my position.

Wherever the fiery monkey moved, the leek soldier's eyes followed.

Fiery Monkey's forehead veins bulged as he turned to look at Onion Soldier.

Onion Soldier then awkwardly turned his head to look at his shield.

That shield, it really is a shield.

Li Shuwen smiled, placed his hand on the top of the fiery monkey's head to soothe the acupoints on his head and improve the blood vessels' ability to withstand pressure, so as to prevent the fiery monkey from having a burst blood vessel.

"Alright, now focus on the lesson."

I don't know when Yoshino arrived, but it was only when the Fiery Monkey started trying it out.

Only then did Li Shuwen notice Ji Xian.

"Master Ji Xian, is there something you need?"

Ji Xian shook his head. "I just heard from Octavian that you are currently a trainee gym leader at the Veil Dojo, so I came to chat with you."

"I've been the gym leader of the Marshland Gym for several years now, but I've always felt that guiding trainers to grow isn't very easy."

"I heard that you are hailed as a Midas touch by trainers online, so I came here specifically to ask you for some advice."

No, how did this lousy Midas touch even reach Ji Xian's ears?

If he goes to participate in the dojo ranking competition next year, and everyone teases him with the nickname "Midas Touch," how embarrassing would that be!

Li Shuwen quickly waved his hand, "I wouldn't call myself a Midas touch; I've just gained some experience from hitting a lot of walls."

"You could say that long-term illness makes one a good doctor."

Just then, a sphere of white true energy took shape in the Poison Skull Frog's hand.

When you're in a good mood, you learn things much faster.

Launched into the air by the Poison Skull Frog, it exploded with an astonishing shockwave.

Fortunately, this place is quite far from the stalls, and there are no tourists around.

After evolving, the Poison Skull Frog's strength increased by such a large amount.

It can be said that they remain silent until they make a stunning debut.

Perhaps the next time I face Cynthia, I can impress her.

Those tactics that rely on toxins can finally be applied.

The poison skeletal frog has developed specialized venomous spines and its strength has greatly increased.

Don't worry, the Poison Skull Frog's paws can't pierce the Garchomp's skin.
