Chapter 1033: Evil Showdown! 1VS3

In the early morning, the sky was still gray, the sun had not yet shown its face, and the whole world was shrouded in a layer of light mist.

Acerola got up early and hurried to the Harvest Ruins, carrying a basket of fruit for offering. "Is he here yet?"

She walked into the harvest ruins that looked like a small cave. When she came to the altar, she suddenly found a bouquet of flowers on it, and a happy smile immediately appeared on her face.

Arriving at the stage for the grand test, she saw Uncle Merdan, who had arrived earlier than her. He looked incredibly energetic, a stark contrast to his usual lazy demeanor.

Acerola couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "The uncle today really has the demeanor of the king of the island!"

Uncle Merdan heard what Aserola said, smiled and said, "No, I just want to get these troublesome things done quickly."

As they were talking, the sun slowly rose, and the golden sunlight shone on the stage of the great test, making the whole scene exceptionally solemn.

Uncle Merdan looked at the gradually rising sun and sighed helplessly, "I didn't expect to be back here for another big test just one day later. It really makes me feel exhausted!"

However, he immediately laughed again: "But today, I am unexpectedly full of energy!"

"Then let's have a wonderful battle, Uncle Merdan!" A golden halo suddenly appeared in the field, and then Xiaozhi and Lila walked out of the halo together.

Acerola waved her hands and said with a smile, "I am Acerola, the referee. Come on, Xiaozhi-nii!"

Xiaozhi smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to Merdan, quietly waiting for him to explain the rules of this great test battle.

After all, the King of the Island would tailor the rules for different trials based on the specific circumstances of the challengers. However, Lila's previous encounter was a simple 1vs1 duel.

"Then let's begin!" Uncle Merdan silently turned around and faced the Harvest Ruins. His movements seemed somewhat solemn. He slowly raised his hand and grasped the Evil Z Pure Crystal that was hanging on his chest as a pendant.

Then, he closed his eyes and prayed devoutly, "Now we begin the Ula'ula Island Tour Ceremony. This is a great test. Good exists within evil, and evil exists within good. Only by complementing each other can we evolve further!"

After saying that, Uncle Merdan looked at Xiaozhi and said, "If you want to break through the great test of Ula'ula Island, you must defeat my three Pokémon in a row! However, you can only use one Pokémon!"

As expected! This big test is definitely not that simple, especially when facing Uncle Merdan who is good at using Dark attributes. He actually asks Xiaozhi to use only one Pokémon to challenge his three!

However, Xiaozhi did not hesitate at all and resolutely agreed. Moreover, in his mind, he had already chosen the Pokémon he would fight.

"Wow, this is the first time Acerola has seen such difficult challenge rules from Xiaozhi!" Acerola couldn't help but sigh as she stood aside. "But Uncle Merdan believes that only by overcoming numerous difficulties can it be called a true test! So, Xiaozhi, keep going!"

"Xiaozhi, show your determination to give it your all!" Uncle Merdan turned and walked to the battle seat, then threw out the Poké Ball without hesitation, shouting, "Go!"

As the Poké Ball opened, a red light flashed, and a ferocious rogue crocodile appeared before everyone's eyes. It opened its bloody mouth and roared, "Protect!!"

At the same time, Xiaozhi also threw out his Poké Ball and shouted loudly: "It's decided to be you! General Pudao!"

As Xiaozhi's voice fell, a Pokémon appeared in front of everyone. It was wearing armor like a Japanese general, the sword on its head was similar to a large armor, there were sharp blades on its beard and abdomen, and the sharp blade on its head was yellow.

It's none other than the Servant Sword General! The evolved form of the Slash Commander, but the conditions for evolution are very demanding! It can only evolve after defeating three Slash Commanders carrying leader certificates and leading groups of Colt Sword Minions!

Therefore, Xiaozhi's Slash Commander never had the chance to join the guild until not long ago, when Xiaozhi pulled out the evolution card from the system, allowing it to complete its final evolution, and even its strength reached the King level!

"What is this???" It was the first time that Acerola and Lila saw this kind of Pokémon.

"General Pudao! I didn't expect that you, Xiaozhi, have met such harsh evolution conditions." As an uncle who is good at the Dark type, Uncle Merdan naturally recognized General Pudao at a glance.

The Rotom Pokédex had already been updated. "Sword General, a broadsword Pokémon with Dark and Steel attributes. In a mighty army, only the top Slash Commander can evolve into Sword General."

【Servant Sword General】

[Attributes: Evil, Steel]

【Characteristics: Unyielding】

【Strength: Mid-level King】

[Skills: Servant Blade, Rush, Sword Dance...]

Facing the King-level General Pudao, Uncle Merdan's Rogue Crocodile was not afraid at all. His eyes showed a fierce light, and the momentum of his body rose wildly and attacked!

Clearly, Uncle Merdan's Crocodile is different from Ash's! It has the Intimidate trait, which can make the opponent retreat and reduce their attack at the beginning of the fight.

Unfortunately, it ran into the unyielding General Pu Dao! While its attack power decreased, its own attack power also increased by two levels. This one decrease and two increases actually strengthened the General Pu Dao's attack power, making it even more powerful.

This series of changes instantly interrupted the momentum of Uncle Merdan and the rogue crocodile's opening battle. Uncle Merdan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "That unyielding nature! Looks like we're going to be in trouble this time!"

Acerola stood at the referee's table, raised her right hand, and announced, "Well, let's challenge Ash from Pallet Town to Merdan, the king of Ula'la Island. Let's begin the one-on-one three-test battle!"

"Let me attack first!" Uncle Merdan waved his hand and gave the first command. "Rogue crocodile, quicksand hell!"
