was so satisfying to get those experience points!

Chapter 35 was so satisfying to get those experience points!

The Duckbill Fire Beast made its appearance, stirring up a strong heat wave.

Xia Mu's attention was originally on Growlithe, because after three battles, Growlithe had leveled up by 1.

Seeing the pygmy marmoset, one's attention is inevitably drawn to it.

As a very special Pokémon among Fire-type Pokémon, Magmar is rumored to have a body temperature that can reach 1200 degrees Celsius when it goes into a rage.

Before, when I played games, all I saw were text descriptions. Now that I have experienced it firsthand, it really is like a small, moving volcano.

Speaking of which, Xia Mu had conducted in-depth research on the duck-billed fire beast.

The reason is simple: it looks very powerful and cool in the game, and it belongs to the offensive type of Pokémon.

If it weren't unobtainable at the start, it would truly be the top choice for players looking to progress through the early game.

If the Duckbill Fire Beast is like this, let alone the later Duckbill Fire Beast which can evolve into the Duckbill Flame Beast, it has always been one of the main fire-type pets bred by Xia Mu Hui.

Of course, the advantages of the Duckbill Firebeast are not limited to this. This family has a very rich skill pool, and it can be said that it can be related to many attributes.

For example, Poison, Fighting, Dark, Ground, Electric...

Even Psychic and Ghost types have TMs that can be learned.

Anyone who has used it knows that apart from its weak HP and physical defense, its attack, special attack, special defense, and speed are all top-tier among the early Pokémon.

So even without the Lava Amplifier, Magmar cannot evolve into Magmar to reach a base stat total of 540, but Magmar's base stat total of 495 is still not low.

To be fair, having three Pokémon close to level 40 and a level 42 Magmar makes him a mid-to-high-tier NPC in the game.

Xia Mu felt that even if the trainer's level in the real world was high, with this level of strength, if they participated in the Indigo League, they could at least achieve a top-six finish.

Xia Mu became increasingly excited.

I used to underestimate ordinary trainers, but now I'm getting so much experience points, it's so satisfying.

Perhaps Yuichi has two more high-level Pokémon. After defeating them one after another, Growlithe might even level up by 1.

However, this match is indeed a bit more difficult than before.

Fortunately, Magmar's Flame Body ability does not affect Growlithe. If you start with Lucario or Beedrill, they will easily get burned and suffer burns if they touch Magmar's body.

When I used to play games, I never considered this situation because it was either you or he would kill you instantly.

Even if you get a status effect while progressing through the levels, you can use a potion to heal it.

Things are different now. While melee teams are indeed strong, if a team consists entirely of melee units, it can be countered by certain characteristics.

Once he gets past Mewtwo, he does indeed plan to train two Pokémon that specialize in attack.

"Let's see what you do this time! Firebeast, breathe fire!" Yuichi's voice rang out, bringing Natsuki back to her senses.

"Woo~~!" A deep roar came from the mouth of the duckbill fire beast, and at the same time, an incredibly powerful jet of flame shot out, with an extremely high temperature.

Xia Mu made a quick decision: "Let's use flamethrowers too!"

Growlithe was not afraid at all, and opened its mouth to unleash a thick burst of flame.

"boom!!!"

The two flames collided with terrifying power, stirring up a gust of wind and heat, which caused many onlookers to gasp in surprise.

Growlithe is being suppressed!

Because its special attack is not outstanding, even a 3-level difference is of no use.

However, Growlithe managed to block the attack.

Yuichi seemed to see a glimmer of hope for victory and shouted without hesitation, "Looks like your Growlithe's time is up! Magmar, Flamethrower!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Mu's expression changed slightly.

It's understandable that a level 42 Growlithe learns Flamethrower, as it also learned it at a low level.

But the Big Character Explosion is different.

Even if the duckling doesn't evolve, it still needs to reach level 48 to learn it. According to the level settings of the duckling fire beast, it can only learn the big fire attack at level 58.

If the level 50 Firebeast were to unleash a powerful Flame Burst, Xia Mu wouldn't be surprised.

However, this level difference can only be overcome by using a skill learner.

"Don't hesitate, Growlithe, move at high speed to avoid it!"

Xia Mu decisively gave way.

Growlithe's strength level is not enough to withstand this attack.

Even though they are both fire-type, they won't be instantly killed, but if they get hit by this move, it will be difficult to fight them afterward.

The Flame Burst was incredibly powerful, but Growlithe managed to dodge it thanks to its high-speed movement.

The earth was scorched by the explosive flames of the character "大" (big), leaving a mark resembling the character "大".

"Are you going to use the same old trick again? Firebomb isn't Golduck! Use smoke to cover the field!" Yuichi shouted.

His firebeast was indeed quite capable; its smoke-breathing technique covered half the arena with flames and ash.

This kind of field-like skill is difficult to counter in the game; you can only deal with it head-on.

Not only does it have a power value of 80, but if it is a Pokémon of another type, it will have a high probability of being burned.

"Your Magmar is indeed very well-trained, but it doesn't seem to have learned any moves of other attributes!" Xia Mu said with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

The thrill of this kind of battle is something that battles between wild Pokémon can't bring.

"Growlithe, use the smoke and fire to launch a frontal attack with Flame Wheel!" Natsuki gave the order.

Growlithe roared amidst the billowing smoke, and as it spun, flames enveloped its entire body, swirling the ash and forming an even more powerful wheel of fire.

In real-world Pokémon battles, everything can be utilized, and using fire to enhance the power of Fire-type moves is certainly feasible.

While fighting, Xia Mu was also studying the game.

"What?" Yuichi was shocked to witness this unbelievable scene.

The Flame Wheel struck the Duckbill Firebeast head-on, causing direct damage.

As a fellow Fire-type, even with its less-than-stellar physical defense, it cannot defeat the Magmar in one hit; at most, it can only inflict some pain on the Magmar.

Of course, Xia Mu's attacks didn't stop there.

"Crunch!" With a command, Growlithe changed its attack stance, dispelling Flame Wheel and using its Dark-type Fangs to bite at Magmar's body.

Upon seeing this, Yuichi hurriedly shouted, "Flame Fist, counter!"

BOOM!!!

The two ultimate moves collided, unleashing a violent explosion.

Growlithe was sent flying backwards, and Magmar was also knocked back several meters.

It seemed like a close contest, but both sides suffered enormous damage.

"One more flamethrower!" Yuichi gritted his teeth and gave the order quickly.

The firebeast's flames erupted once again.

"Hold on!" Xia Mu said.

Growlithe let out a roar, and its entire body emitted a crystalline light, forming an invisible light shield.

The flames were brought close, but were blocked by the energy shield, causing no damage.

As the attack ended, a bead of cold sweat rolled down Yuichi's cheek. She hadn't expected Growlithe to have such a skill.

"Flame Wheel Charge!" Xia Mu continued to give the order.

Growlithe unleashed its Flame Wheel once more, like a fiery meat grinder, heading straight for Magmar.

Yuichi quickly regained his senses. Although his brain was somewhat blank, he still issued the command as fast as possible: "Avoid the fire wheel."

The Magmar was indeed quite fast and successfully dodged Growlithe's Flame Wheel.

However, Xia Mu's attack was not the Flame Wheel.

The Flame Wheel created an opportunity, causing the Duckbill Firebeast to expose an opening while moving. Xia Mu immediately shouted, "Stop the Flame Wheel, use Crunch again!"

At this moment, Growlithe's reflexes, honed through long-term battles with wild Pokémon, came into play.

Woof!

Growlithe barked and turned around to grab something.

The bite successfully struck the Duckbill Firebeast's arm, causing massive damage.

The duckbill firebeast let out a painful groan and staggered backward.

Yuichi was in a state of utter confusion: "Use Flame Fist to repel it!"

"Your rhythm is off, Growlithe. Take this opportunity to back off and avoid Fire Punch, then unleash a Flamethrower on him."

Growlithe is very agile. As it retreats to dodge Fire Punch, it spews flames from its mouth.

"boom!!!"

The jet of flame hit.

After being hit repeatedly, the Duckbill Fire Beast howled in pain, finally unable to hold on any longer, and collapsed, losing its ability to fight.
