Defeating Little Sweet

Chapter 47 Defeating Little Sweet

After defeating Raichu, Beedrill's level increased by 1 as expected.

In comparison, the experience points are actually quite considerable.

I just don't know if the red Gyarados shared any experience points.

Xia Mu couldn't summon the red Gyarados to see, so the only way to know was to check if its level had increased after the battle.

It's highly unlikely that it will, just like the last time when Growlithe was on the verge of death and completely lost its ability to battle, it didn't share any experience points.

Raichu was defeated, and Sweetie sent out Nine-Tails again.

Ninetales, a Fire-type Pokémon, is indeed the first choice for dealing with Beedrill, a Bug-type Pokémon.

Natsuki wouldn't be foolish enough to let Beedrill continue fighting, so in the end, she had to send Growlithe into battle.

A battle between fire-type beings!

It's impossible to say there's no pressure, after all, Nine-Tails' stats are all superior to Growlithe's.

Natsuki's only advantage is the bonus in effort values, and of course, there is also the advantage in skills, unlike Kurama which has a single advantage.

From the first Blastoise to Vileplume, then Ninetales, and finally Raichu, Natsuki discovered that Sweetie's method of training Pokémon was to maximize the use of their type's abilities.

Indeed, it's not impossible to defeat an opponent by using this single method of training and leveraging the opponent's unique attributes and other factors to overcome them.

However, for Xia Mu, he felt that maximizing the potential of the Pokémon was the best way to train it.

In Pokémon battles, while level advantage is important, type advantage is still the key to victory.

Just like in a game, when there is an elemental advantage, a double suppression combined with the skill's power value can allow you to instantly kill an opponent ten levels higher.

In the battle between Growlithe and Nine-Tails, Natsuki ultimately prevailed through skill and strategy.

With the combined advantages of auxiliary skills and various other skills, even though she was injured and exhausted by the Nine-Tails, Xia Mu was far superior to Xiao Tian in terms of skill mastery and tactical deployment.

Actually, if Growlithe hadn't evolved into Arcanine before, Arcanine could have completely dominated Ninetales in this battle.

Of course, defeating a stronger opponent with a weaker one makes Xia Mu feel even more accomplished.

After defeating four of Xiaotian's Pokémon in a row, Xia Mu also lost Lucario and Red Gyarados.

In a two-on-two situation, even though Growlithe and Beedrill will both be weakened, as long as the opponent's level is no higher than 45, Xia Mu has a 60-70% chance of winning.

To Xia Mu's surprise, Xiao Tian actually had a second level 50 Pokémon.

Pac-Man!

This Pokémon, which also appeared in the animated movie, is actually at a higher level than Ninetales.

Generally classified as Fairy-type, as the evolved form of Jigglypuff, Wigglypuff's combat power is not strong, but it is not weak either.

Especially the 140 stamina points, which was quite outrageous in the previous two generations.

Xia Mu remembers that in the early days, apart from pure tank and support Pokémon like Chansey and Blissey, only Wobbuffet had 190 HP.

Apart from that, no other Pokémon can surpass Jigglypuff in terms of stamina.

Unlike Chansey or Blissey, Jigglypuff possesses even greater offensive power to some extent.

While most people will still use Jigglypuff as a support, it can also be developed into a war of attrition, engaging in a protracted battle with the opponent.

Xia Mu saw the Jigglypuff's skill list and knew that this Jigglypuff could be used for both support and offense.

In short, her strength is considerable, and based on Xiaotian's fighting style, Xia Mu felt that her Jigglypuff was more of an offensive type.

To stop Growlithe from continuing the battle, Natsuki switched to Beedrill.

Xiaotian didn't think there was any difference between Growlithe and Beedrill.

On the contrary, because Natsuki switched to Beedrill, she felt that she could better bring out the strength of Jigglypuff.

Jigglypuff is a melee physical attack tank type, and its speed is not outstanding, so it will be at a great disadvantage when facing Growlithe's ranged special attacks.

Beedrill is different. Although it is also a melee physical attacker, its fighting style is to let Jigglypuff tank the attacks, and then launch a powerful attack to interrupt and counter them.

Xiaotian has her own plans, and Xiamu has his own plans.

Xia Mu's Beedrill is no ordinary Beedrill; it is both a queen bee and highly skilled in learning various techniques.

In addition to close-range attacks, they can also launch ranged attacks, such as poison needles.

Jigglypuff has fairy-type attributes.

Little Sweetie clearly didn't know this.

Not only would Xiaotian not know, but most people wouldn't know either.

Because the era has not yet progressed to the sixth generation and the story has not yet advanced to the Kalos region, the Fairy type has not yet been fully defined.

In other words, this era is a very special starting point, with many unknown things being constantly discovered, thus giving rise to a series of possibilities.

For example, the discovery of the Fairy type, Mega Evolution, Dynamax, the existence of Z-Moves, and the crystalline formation in the Padina region...

According to Xia Mu's guess, it should be about two more years before the Fairy type is officially recognized by the League and included in the attribute list.

The battle with Jigglypuff went very smoothly.

Xia Mu's poison-based fighting style caught Xiao Tian off guard.

Jigglypuff couldn't even dodge or block attacks, let alone fight back.

Finally, under the influence of poison, Jigglypuff lost its ability to fight.

To Natsuki's utter disbelief, the experience points gained from defeating Jigglypuff directly boosted Beedrill's level by 2.

Even though I leveled up after defeating Raichu, it's nothing compared to this.

This is a two-level jump, which is more than you'd get in the game.

[So, this Jigglypuff is also a kind of experience monster, like Chansey and Blissey, which can provide a large amount of experience?] Xia Mu was extremely excited.

After defeating Jigglypuff, Sweetie only has one Pokémon left.

As Xia Mu eagerly awaited, Xiao Tian brought out a level 47 White Sea Lion.

As expected, apart from Raichu being an exception, all the other Pokémon can be considered Sweetie's main force.

In the original story, Raichu was probably one of the main characters, and it was only because Sweetie wanted to train Ponyta to become her mount that she brought Ponyta along.

After all, as a mount Pokémon that early elite trainers would raise, Ponyta needs to reach level 40 to evolve, and Rapidash, after evolving, doesn't require too many resources to reach its full potential.

To deal with Dew Lion, the Fire-type Growlithe is the natural choice.

Although the White Sea Lion's Water type is strong against Fire type, Fire type is also strong against Ice type.

Originally, Growlithe had gained one level from defeating the Nine-Tails. Although it hadn't reached the experience required to level up after this battle, Natsuki knew that if it had another battle, Growlithe could reach level 50.

To Xia Mu's surprise, Growlithe actually learned a skill that could only be learned at level 52 during this battle: "Take a Break".

The more you attack with all your might, the less stamina you have left, and the more powerful your moves become.

That's why, at the last moment, it used fire to evaporate the water and defeated the white sea lion.
