VS Little Sweet, starting with Blastoise

Chapter 41 VS Little Sweet, starting with Blastoise

More than half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

After a thorough discussion, under Ali's guidance, Xia Mu and Xiao Tian went to the battle area behind the restaurant to start their match.

Although it's called 6v6, Natsuki actually only has 4 Pokémon.

Of course, only he knows that he only has four Pokémon; no one else knows.

So even if all four of them lose, he can just admit defeat; he won't feel ashamed anyway.

On the road to becoming stronger, many unexpected things will always happen, and it's normal to be defeated by others.

Even in games, you can get killed by NPCs, let alone in real-world battles.

Because it was a battle between two powerful trainers, it attracted a lot of onlookers.

The main reason is that Ali and Xiaotian have a great influence in this area and are very famous among their peers in Yuandao City.

The battle mode is different from last night's.

The duel with Xiaotian naturally required a payment of 10000 Alliance Coins. Regardless of winning or losing, the money had already been given to Ali as the middleman.

In addition, Xia Mu would give Ali 1000 Alliance Coins as a referral fee for each person he introduced.

As the saying goes, no one gets up early without a reason; otherwise, Xia Mu wouldn't have been able to find a suitable opponent so quickly.

If you don't see any tangible benefits, nobody will pay attention to you.

The Pokémon battles that appear in the original anime are just ordinary casual battles. If they really encounter a powerful trainer, the trainer can simply refuse.

Even gym leader trainers, who are obligated to accept challenges, are not someone you can just challenge whenever you want; you have to see how they feel if you want to challenge them.

Ash and his friends have all encountered similar situations, let alone ordinary trainers.

……

On either side of the fighting ring, Xia Mu and Xiao Tian each stood at one end.

Ali acted as the referee, explaining the basic rules of the match.

Because the venue is open to the public and located on a busy beach, it attracted a lot of people.

Pokémon battles are among the most popular activities in the world.

"If you're ready, we can begin. Both sides send out their first Pokémon."

Ali, who was standing in the middle, spoke up.

Before Xia Mu could make a decision after he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Tian smile slightly and throw out a Poké Ball.

"Come out, Blastoise."

『Kamekame~~』

Blastoise makes its appearance, its massive body shaking the ground as it lets out a warlike roar.

Sweetie's Blastoise is at level 51.

Just as Xia Mu had predicted, he was only a little over level 50 at most.

Calm personality, extremely high Special Attack, ability Torrent.

Adding to the hidden effort values ​​and individual values, Xia Mu was certain that this Blastoise had a significant advantage in special attack. Coupled with Blastoise's already strong defenses, it was a perfect tank with two anti-aircraft guns.

No wonder, in the original storyline, Blastoise went head-to-head with Venusaur. If it were Natsuki, he would also be bursting with confidence.

With this enhancement, the power of a single Water Cannon shot becomes terrifying; even Grass-type Pokémon of the same level would find it difficult to withstand two shots head-on.

"I know how strong Ali is. You can easily defeat him, Xia Mu, so I'm going to use my trump card first. You'd better be careful." Xiao Tian's words made Xia Mu chuckle dryly.

Although it was the second time I had faced a Pokémon that was level 50 or higher, it was actually the first time I had ever battled one, so it was impossible not to feel pressure.

As for the level 58 Dragonite we encountered for the first time, we only spent a short while together.

Of my four little ones, only Growlithe has reached level 48, which is the lowest level difference between it and Blastoise.

However, Growlithe is clearly no match for Blastoise.

Even with its speed and obvious advantages, in a real battle, Growlithe's damage to Blastoise would probably be nothing more than a scratch.

Growlithe, on the other hand, can be seriously injured by even a slight scratch.

The high-level battles are incomparable to the battles I've experienced before.

Red Gyarados?

Xia Mu shook his head inwardly.

Although they are of the same attribute, their levels are too low.

A 10-level difference is equivalent to a Mega Evolution.

If Red Tyranitar could Mega Evolve, it would truly unleash its power.

Unfortunately, its intimacy level is only 178 points, which does not meet the evolution requirements, and Xia Mu has not bought any Mega Evolution Stones for it.

Is Beedrill going to fight Blastoise?

That's even more unrealistic.

Not to mention the 9-level difference, even if they were the same level, Beedrill would be easily defeated because its shell is too fragile.

Only Mega Beedrill, after its Mega Evolution, can turn the tide and crush Blastoise.

Therefore, the best choice is still Lucario. Although it is only level 44, which is 7 levels lower, it is indeed the strongest fighter in Natsuki's hands.

It is neither type-advantageous nor type-advantageous against Blastoise.

You can start by looking at the move attributes and observe Blastoise's move list. This Blastoise has a very limited range of moves and is not particularly outstanding.

"Go, Lucario." Xia Mu took out Lucario's Poké Ball and summoned it.

To avoid any accidents, Lucario and Growlithe were put back into their Poké Balls after arriving here.

Lucario's appearance caused a wave of gasps.

Those I've seen and those I haven't...

In short, the noise of discussion was incessant.

When Little Sweet across from her saw Lucario, her eyes lit up with eager anticipation.

"He's so handsome! I really want to tame one too." Xiaotian cupped her face in her hands, her fascinated gaze revealing her thoughts even without her saying a word.

"Although they are rare Pokémon in the Kanto region, you should still be able to encounter wild Riolu and Lucario if you go to the Sinnoh region," Natsuki said with a smile.

"The Sinnoh region? I did think about traveling there a while ago, but my family is too busy and I don't have much pocket money." Sweetie stuck out her little tongue cutely.

"No wonder you were so agreeable this time, you're just here to make money," Ali couldn't help but mutter.

Seeing Xiaotian's "you've seen through me" expression, Ali rolled his eyes, stopped dawdling, and quickly announced the start of the battle.

……

The atmosphere suddenly changed, but Xia Mu didn't change much. Xiao Tian's cute expression had disappeared, replaced by a very serious one.

Once she enters battle mode, she completely transforms into a powerful woman.

This aligns with her original character design in the animation.

"Come on, let me see the strength of the top four from last year's Quartz Conference." Without rushing into an attack, Xia Mu gave up the initiative.

"In that case, I won't hold back. Blastoise, Water Pulse!" Sweetie gave the command.

"Camellia~~!"

Blastoise roared, and a ball of water energy condensed and shot out in a straight line.
