Water Fight with the Dragon

Chapter 17 Water Fight with the Dragon

"Pokémon bodyguards, what can they do?"

M. Surge took a bottle of soda from Raichu: "They can help you with things you can't do, like burying those who want to undermine your research."

"Don't worry, it's not a crime. It's just using precise ground-based skills to trap them. You don't even need to do anything yourself when calling Officer Jenny. You just need to tell her the address and the situation into the phone."

"At least when it comes to security, our Rocket Bodyguard team's motto is to treat our clients like trash, even if they aren't trash."

"Although such 'GG language' is somewhat offensive, the response has been very good, and we have cooperative relationships with many research institutes in the Kanto region."

Okay, you guys win.

Zhu Suihan rubbed his temples: "Forget it, I don't need this kind of service. Just prepare the resources I need and tell me how long it will take."

"Don't underestimate our Rocket Group. Starting from now, it will take me a maximum of 24 hours to prepare everything for you and deliver it to you."

Mascherano got into work mode: "Are you going to leave us an address for home delivery, or do you want to come to the convenience store again at the appointed time to pick it up yourself?"

"Oh, I almost forgot. For a distinguished customer like you, I can also deliver a little gadget to you—our Rocket Group's latest smart communication device."

?

cell phone?

According to the normal progress, when will the Pokémon world's mobile phone be made?

Uh, it seems to be from the German side.

Oh well, it's not important, as long as it works.

"Research talents like you must be very busy. Why don't you just put your future phone bills on our technical department's account?"

In order to extract some more good stuff from Zhu Suihan's underwear, Ma Zhishi had thought things through quite thoroughly.

"The model I'm giving you is the internal model. If needed, it can be directly connected to the logistics department of our rocket group, and its performance will be better than the products that have been launched on the market."

Very good, it seems this research has been going on for quite some time.

Zhu Suihan nodded in satisfaction, and made a verbal agreement that as soon as the payment was delivered, the blueprints for the other half of the decoy module would be sent immediately.

Zhu Suihan sat on a bench by the street looking at the map, then glanced at Chenglong, who was eating snacks next to her.

"Alright, now that we've finished talking about work, I'll take you to the water area to relax. We'll pick up Chie after school and then go home together."

Arriving at a large natural lake nestled against the mountains, Zhu Suihan threw out a Poké Ball, letting Lapras frolic freely in the lake and unleash its natural instincts.

"Acacia Town doesn't seem to have anything particularly special about it besides the oak forest, so it's definitely suitable as a beginner's village."

Looking at the clear lake, Zhu Suihan couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

He was in too much of a rush to come out. As a seasoned angler, he had never been to a great place like the Lake of Rage.

Water area?

No matter what kind of water it is, just swing twice and see.

However, fishing in the wild in the Pokémon world could easily result in you getting yourself into the water and being forced to stare intently at some of the more ferocious Pokémon, such as Gyarados.

wow-

Zhu Suihan instinctively reached out to block, but unexpectedly, what attacked him was a small wave.

The dragon's loud laughter and the sound of its webbed feet followed, clearly inviting Zhu Suihan to join it in the water.

"Playing with you is a huge disadvantage for me. I can't use my special moves. One water cannon from you can wash me from the east bank to the west bank."

Zhu Suihan tested the water depth slightly, then scooped up a handful of water with both hands and poured it on Chenglong's head.

"Let's begin. You'd like to make the first move?"

"Huh?"

The dragon tilted its head, then stepped back a short distance, forcefully slapping its webbed feet against the water.

Overwhelming!

Zhu Suihan decisively dodged the dragon's attack by diving into the water. When he surfaced, he was already poised to strike. Using the force of the upward movement, he pushed forward with both arms, and two small water curtains accurately hit the dragon's body.

“Wuwu!”

The dragon's eyes lit up.

I never expected to be the first one to be hit!

It's time to let the trainers know just how powerful Dragon is!

As a Water-type Pokémon, Lapras began to demonstrate its home-field advantage, using its speed and positional maneuvers to overwhelm Bamboo Frost.

Sometimes it's a combo of "rushing in and splashing water," and sometimes it's a feint. Once the distance is greater, Chenglong will use the water gun to cover Zhu Suihan's position.

The principle is roughly that the force and water pressure are slightly weaker, but when it gets close to Zhu Suihan, it turns into a shower of water guns.

Even so, Zhu Suihan was not hit by Chenglong much, and her occasional counterattacks were able to hit Chenglong's body.

Chenglong has the home advantage, but at least in terms of the size of the hit, Zhu Suihan is still the one with the advantage.

Thus, the situation became that Chenglong, who kept firing, had a relatively low hit rate and mainly relied on artillery barrage, while Zhu Suihan was the kind of player who could strategize for ten thousand years but whose attacks were always effective.

"Waaaaah!"

Chenglong is getting impatient. Is this your home turf or mine?

Can't you show a little respect to Water-type Pokémon?

"I have far more experience than you when it comes to water fights."

Water fights are basically a game where everyone you face is an enemy. If you don't want to be overwhelmed by enemy fire, you have to practice your movement skills.

"Ugh!"

Chenglong's competitive spirit was successfully awakened by Zhu Suihan, and she really refused to believe it today!

Chenglong began to draw a circle with Zhu Suihan as the center, and its high-speed movement, combined with water guns that constantly changed in intensity and speed, surrounded Zhu Suihan.

The encirclement tactic was very successful; at least Zhu Suihan definitely felt that the number of times he was hit was increasing.

However, this tactic not only failed to trap Zhu Suihan in the vortex, but Chenglong also expended a lot of energy while constantly spinning around and using water guns.

Soon, the dragon stopped moving, its head resting on the water's surface, letting the ripples in the lake carry it along.

tired.

"The best approach is to remain unchanged amidst all changes, or if you think about it calmly, you've already won the water fight from the very beginning."

Zhu Suihan swam over and touched the top of Chenglong's head.

"It's good to be competitive, but you need to learn to stay calm in the future."

Zhu Suihan said, "However, I also have some ideas to help you improve the way you use your special move. Let's do an experiment when we have the chance."

"Huh?"

Chenglong looked at Zhu Suihan with longing eyes. Did I win?

"Yes, yes, of course you won. Who else would it be but me?"

Zhu Suihan pointed to himself and said, "Looking like this now, I could easily go out and impersonate a water ghost. This is all thanks to you."

If passersby saw Zhu Suihan floating on the water with his feet on the ground and his white hair scattered on the surface like seaweed at night, Abi would have to come over to maintain order the next day.

Ghost-type Pokémon, definitely a Ghost-type Pokémon with a unique color!

"Waaah."

Chenglong nuzzled Zhu Suihan's cheek, then submerged slightly before rising again, carrying Zhu Suihan on its back.

"How was your day? Did you have a good time?"

Zhu Suihan sat on the back of Chenglong, the back of her head resting against Chenglong's damp neck, her eyes looking at the azure sky, and she handed the energy cube to Chenglong's mouth.

Chenglong lowered his head and ate the energy cube, then turned his head to look at Zhu Suihan with a smile on his face as he drifted along in the lake.

"Ugh!"

I would be even happier if you, Trainer, went and changed into some clothes that weren't soaked.

"Stop joking, this is the only set of clothes I own."

Zhu Suihan smiled and said, "Even a water gun with 100,000 volts couldn't do anything to me, so catching a cold is even less likely."

With his back against the dragon, his eyes fixed on the blue sky, the sound of water rippling beneath him, his cool clothes clinging to his skin, and the sunlight basking in his warmth, even though he was full of energy, Zhu Suihan still felt like taking a nap.

Damn, this is life!

The two of them floated on the small lake for half a day, encountering some Pokémon that weren't very aggressive, such as Goldeen and Magikarp.

Because of the water fight earlier, the originally calm lake was enlivened by small groups of people having a water fight.

That's why no Pokémon cared about Zhu Suihan and Lapras wandering around. They had secretly watched the battle earlier and were somewhat familiar with the human face.

On the side where the fight was most intense, the one in the center of the battle was a mosquito coil tadpole with a determined look in its eyes. Its combination of blocking the other side's vision with foam and attacking with a water gun made it difficult for the other side to cope.

However, the second party's general then unleashed a devastating skill, summoning a powerful reinforcement, Magikarp.

The second player's Krabby pushed Magikarp, which acted as a shield, to provide excellent space for Horsea and Goldeen to deal damage. There was even a chance for Horsea to use its Smoke Bomb for a real smoke-filled charge.

However, the guy on the client's side was even more stubborn, or rather, more reckless.

Smoke screen?

Today I'm going to be the most powerful demon in the smoke, and no one can stop me!

The starfish made a "cha" sound, and the gem in its core shone brightly. Its surfing move carried its big dad, Poliwag, steadily forward, maintaining a water gun spray to forcefully push through the smoke!

Even if Magikarp is incredibly resilient, it can't withstand the overwhelming force of the client. The client's lineup was instantly disrupted, and the outcome was decided.

Laughter filled the air as the two teams of Pokémon were quickly matched, and the second team was randomly assigned to begin the match.

"interesting."

Zhu Suihan straightened up, just like a young man who always liked to sit backwards on the back of a motorcycle suddenly becoming serious.

"Let's go, it's almost time to have lunch. Those were just snacks. We'll go to the Pokémon Center and make you a hot meal."

"No, I can't guarantee it will be piping hot, but it will definitely be made fresh."

After all, not everyone is like the self-disciplined Chansey from the Pokémon Center.

"Waaah?"

Zhu Suihan remained calm: "It's alright. After we finish making the energy cubes, we can just find a lucky restaurant and eat up all of his food supplies."

Since I'm making energy cubes anyway, I might as well make one for myself while I'm at it. That way, I won't have to keep an eye on the restaurant owner all the time, lest he be so shocked by my appetite that he calls Officer Jenny.

Having a good appetite means you can do whatever you want.
