: A Series of Defeats, Easily

Chapter 34: A Series of Defeats, Easily

"Golduck is unable to battle, Growlithe wins..."

After determining that Golduck was unable to continue, the junior referee immediately announced the verdict.

Another uproar ensued.

Many of them were aware of Yuichi's abilities.

It's unbelievable that Golduck, despite its type advantage, is completely helpless against a Growlithe.

This situation also had a huge impact on the minds of these teenagers.

I never imagined that a Growlithe could be trained to be this amazing.

"Brother, Golda duck." Yuichi finally came to his senses.

Nido lost, but he could accept it, after all, he had been very exhausted from the battle with Sandslash.

Golduck was at its peak, and it was defeated by Growlithe. It couldn't accept it, especially since Growlithe could learn Thunder Fang.

Yuichi was puzzled; he had never studied Growlithe before.

Like him, most trainers don't choose Growlithe, so their understanding of Growlithe is limited to the basics.

If it were Flame Fang, no one would be surprised.

Because this is a move that Growlithe must learn, the fact that a Fire-type Growlithe can learn an Electric-type move is undoubtedly telling them that Growlithe is not as weak as they thought, and on the contrary, it can even counter Water-type moves.

It's fair to say that these trainers are too ignorant, and at the same time, the game has given Growlithe a cheat code, allowing it to learn any move as long as it has a TM.

If they knew that Growlithe could not only learn Thunder Fang, but also Rage Volt, I wonder what they would think?

Of course, Natsuki wouldn't let Growlithe learn this move. Even though Mad Volt's power level is 90, it will still cause damage to itself after being used.

Although Thunder Fang only has a power value of 65, it can easily one-shot some Water-type Pokémon with weak physical defense under the level advantage and type advantage.

If it were another water-type, even if it couldn't achieve an instant kill, it could still quickly suppress the opponent.

If Growlithe is like this, let alone its future evolution into Arcanine.

However, even knowing how powerful Growlithe is, not many people will still train it.

After all, even if a dog can become stronger, it still needs a Fire Stone to evolve.

For the average trainer, who would be willing to spend hundreds of thousands of League Coins to buy Evolution Stones for Growlithe?

Even though Arcanine is known as a legendary Pokémon by people in the Kanto region.

But that doesn't mean Arcanine is super strong.

Without proper breeding, most Growlithe, even if they evolve into Arcanine, will eventually be ruined.

……

"Given your skill level, you must have other Pokémon, right? You can continue using other Pokémon; I won't change Growlithe's fate," Xia Mu continued.

After two matches, you should have gained a lot of experience points.

However, the combined experience from levels 39 and 37 is not enough to help Growlithe level up from 44 to 45.

Woof! Woof!

The Growlithe let out a loud, excited bark.

It's not speaking; it's expressing its excitement and conveying its fighting spirit.

Not enough! Not enough at all!

Xia Mu suddenly had a vision of a Growlithe fighting ten enemies.

Yuichi on the other side was furious and was not about to admit defeat and leave the field.

If he does that, he won't be able to stay in this industry anymore.

There is only defeat, not desertion in the face of battle.

"Go, Finch!" With another command, Yuichi sent out his third Pokémon.

A level 38 Great-billed Finch.

This guy is definitely an elite trainer, right? All his Pokémon are close to level 40.

If there's only one, it can only be considered barely acceptable.

I wonder if these are the strongest Pokémon he has trained over the years, or if there are even stronger ones?

Facing a rival like Finch once again, Growlithe recalled the scene of being defeated and humiliated by Finch last time.

Although it had later taken revenge and defeated that big-beaked bird, the memory was exceptionally profound and remained etched in its heart.

With its eyes brimming with fighting spirit, the intimidation tactic took effect once again, causing the Big-Toothed Sparrow's attacks to decrease.

"Let's see how you attack me this time. In terms of speed, my Big-Beaked Sparrow is definitely faster!" Yuichi said with great confidence.

At that moment, he was completely unaware that his Pidgeotto had been affected by the Growlithe's intimidation.

He hadn't paid attention to the previous two matches either.

It is clear that although Yuichi has some strength and a good understanding of attributes, his combat talent is indeed limited to that.

They knew nothing about the characteristics.

"That's not necessarily true. Come on, I'll let you go first." Xia Mu showed no fear whatsoever.

Seeing the information panel of the big-billed finch, he already knew how to deal with it.

Ultimately, Finch's fighting style is very simple and direct, so there's no need for any twists and turns.

Upon hearing Natsuki's words, Yuichi immediately gave the order: "You tricked me with your high-speed movement before, now it's my turn. Big-beaked Sparrow, use high-speed movement to get closer and show them our speed."

"Gahhhhh!"

The big-billed finches let out a chirping sound, flapped their wings, and burst forth with astonishing speed.

It is indeed very fast, and with the added speed, it seems to be surpassing Growlithe.

However, a single linear movement, especially in the air, cannot cause much interference, no matter how fast it is.

This isn't a game.

Natsuki had a pretty good idea of ​​Yuichi's plan.

Xia Mu also reached a consensus with Growlithe in his mind by using the power of aura.

Growlithe should know what to do.

Just as the Finch got close, Yuichi saw that Natsuki wasn't giving any commands and Growlithe was also standing still, so he impatiently gave the order: "Now! Use Wing Attack to send it flying!!!"

He thought that Natsuki, like him before, didn't know how to deal with it, and that Growlithe, like his Golduck, had lost his judgment.

As the wing attack came, a fierce glint flashed in Growlithe's eyes.

A long howl came from Growlithe's mouth.

This isn't just a simple shout; it's a support skill that boosts the attack power of both teammates and yourself!

Immediately afterwards, Growlithe bared its fangs without hesitation.

A flash of lightning, and the Thunder Fang erupted once more.

Facing the oncoming Finch, Growlithe disregarded the damage and bit down on Finch's wing attack.

BOOM!!!

The fierce collision did send Finch flying, but Finch remained firmly in Finch's wing.

The exploding sparks caused the big-billed finches to let out painful cries, and soon after, they collapsed and fainted.

"Sparrow is unable to battle! Growlithe wins." The young referee declared decisively.

Although the battle process was completely different, it was exactly the same as the previous one, relying on the level advantage and the elemental advantage of the moves.

Natsuki smiled, while Yuichi across from her gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

He never imagined that Xia Mu's Growlithe would take the wing attack in such a way.

Trading injury for injury, how shameless.

Yuichi suddenly felt that he had been tricked by Natsuki, which made him feel suffocated and frustrated.

"I think I know your Growlithe is really high level, but even if it is, Growlithe is still Growlithe!" Yuichi recalled his Finch, and then sent out a level 42 Magmar.
