: 1 vs. 6, who else can take on him?

Chapter 36 One against six, who else can take on?

The winning streak has been broken again.

Moreover, this time they defeated the even stronger Duckbill Firebeast.

Everyone present gasped in surprise.

Who would have thought that a Growlithe could unleash such considerable fighting power in actual combat?

Its attack power and speed are unparalleled.

And given that he can still be so at ease after continuous battles, if he continues to fight, he may be able to break the record of four consecutive victories.

Yuichi's body was trembling. He never expected that his ace Magmar would be defeated by Growlithe, nor did he expect that Growlithe could be so troublesome.

Four against one, which means they only managed to weaken Growlithe to about half its strength?

His confidence was shattered, and his current predicament left him in a daze, not even knowing what he was doing.

Based on his thinking and past battle experience, his Magmar should have been able to easily defeat Growlithe.

Xia Mu just looked at him without saying a word.

This book was first published on 2020s.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

Actually, Yuichi's Magmar is quite powerful, at least in terms of Special Attack.

If Yuichi's command is appropriate, he can at least take down Growlithe.

After all, Growlithe was injured in its previous battle with Pidgeotto, and it had already exhausted some of its stamina after the previous three battles.

Unfortunately, Yuichi focused too much on the Pokémon's primary type, so much so that he developed Magmar's Fire-type moves but didn't teach Magmar moves of other types.

If Magmar knows Ground-type moves, then it will have an advantage when facing other Fire-type opponents.

Although Magmar can only learn one Ground-type move, once this move is used, Growlithe will have nowhere to hide and will inevitably suffer heavy damage.

……

After a long time, Natsuki finally got Yuichi to retract his duck-billed fire beast.

This blow must have been huge for him. Yuichi's previous arrogance has completely disappeared, and he has changed his demeanor, becoming extremely serious.

He did not lose his fighting spirit. After staring at Xia Mu for a while, his behavior suddenly became respectful.

"Thank you for waking me up. Although I don't know who you are, I apologize for my previous arrogance. Senior's Growlithe is indeed very powerful. From now on, I will never underestimate Growlithe again, and I will never call Growlithe 'baby' again." Yuichi's change surprised Natsuki.

I really didn't expect him to make such a change in such a short time.

He is indeed a talented person, as can be seen from this transformation; he has grown.

Perhaps a second battle would yield a different outcome; at least he wouldn't underestimate Growlithe anymore.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that his Aura Force could sense that Yuichi wasn't lying, Natsuki would have thought he was just being clever and paving the way for the upcoming battle.

"Every Pokémon has its own unique characteristics. Growlithe may not seem strong in battle, but with proper training, it can become very powerful. Similarly, the same applies to Pokémon that seem to have ordinary aptitude."

"Actually, your Pokémon are all very strong, but to win in Pokémon battles, it's not just about level and type, but also about various other factors, such as abilities, special moves, and various skills. Finally, it's about how we, as trainers, plan our tactics to win with the least amount of energy and the fewest injuries."

Since Yuichi was so eager to learn, Natsuki didn't hesitate to offer a few words of advice.

With his record of taking on four opponents single-handedly, Yuichi listened attentively.

Others also kept Xia Mu's words in mind.

Because Yuichi's strength was considered above average among this group, Natsuki overwhelmed Yuichi and established a certain level of prestige here.

In addition, he was older than everyone else present, so many people thought there was some truth to it.

Of course, there are a few individuals who are disdainful, and these people are also trainers who are exceptionally confident in themselves, just like Yuichi.

People who believe they have great strength will never easily listen to others' advice.

Only after you thoroughly defeat them will they subconsciously realize that they are not actually strong, but are just living in a well.

"Thank you for your guidance," Yuichi responded, bowing slightly to Natsuki.

Xia Mu could sense whether someone was sincere or not through the power of waveguides.

"So, are you going to continue fighting or give up? Growlithe is already injured and doesn't have much stamina left," Natsuki asked, while also reminding Yuichi.

Such a great opportunity, I shouldn't miss it, right?

"Of course I'll continue! Even if I lose, I'm willing to go all the way." Yuichi smiled, then took out a Poké Ball. "Go, Pokémon."

The level 36 furball makes its appearance.

Seeing this one, Xia Mu already guessed that Yuichi's remaining two were probably both weak to fire-type.

Therefore, the duckbill fire beast was his last resort and his greatest source of confidence.

"Having the courage to fight against your elemental attributes shows that you've improved." Natsuki gave Yuichi an approving look.

This kid is quite promising.

It also has a bit of the protagonist's feel to it.

……

The intense battle continued for two more rounds.

Despite being heavily damaged and injured, Growlithe still managed to easily defeat the Bug-type Poliwrath and the Grass-type Exeggutor.

Of course, the battle still depends on the trainer's command.

Xia Mu's command style is largely influenced by game battles, so it tends to be a quick and decisive style.

After defeating Yuichi in a 1v6 battle, Growlithe's level increased by one, reaching level 46.

It's fortunate that the Exeggutor is also level 40, otherwise the experience points wouldn't be enough.

After shaking hands and exchanging a few compliments with Yuichi, Xia Mu decisively spent 4200 Alliance Coins to buy six bottles of healing potions for him from the game store.

Let him treat your Pokémon, so that the injury doesn't take too long to heal and cause the Pokémon to be on the verge of death and its life to be in danger.

The reason for being so generous was naturally to show others, to let everyone know that even if they lost, it didn't matter, Xia Mu would give them medicine to heal their wounds.

Of course, he also bought a full recovery potion for Growlithe and gave it an Energy Cube to restore its stamina.

However, Growlithe won't be used in the next match; Natsuki plans to decide who to use based on the opponent's strength.

Beedrill is the best choice, since you'll have to rely on it to fight Mewtwo when you're really desperate.

Therefore, leveling up Beedrill is the key.

"So, is there anyone else who wants to fight me next? The rules are the same as before."

As he finished speaking, Xia Mu continued to stand on the arena, facing everyone.

The feat of taking on six opponents at once was truly awe-inspiring, even those trainers who considered themselves somewhat capable were considering whether or not to intervene.

After a long while, a red-haired spiky man, about the same age as Yuichi, came out.

When Xia Mu saw someone step forward, a triumphant smile appeared on his lips.

Tonight, he will surely gain a lot of experience points from the trainers here.

Even in the days that follow, these trainers might provide him with a lot of feedback.
