Chapter 11
Battle, Exhilarating!
In the world of Pokémon.
An elf's combat strength is affected by many factors.
Attribute advantages and disadvantages, level differences, the size of the skill pool, tactical planning and design, etc...
But compared to these...
In Xia Mu's view, the most important thing in raising elves in the elf world is the bond.
Unlike other action-packed anime where bonds can only be used to unleash a burst of power.
In the world of Pokémon, deep bonds can not only allow ordinary Pokémon to battle against legendary Pokémon, but also enable Pokémon to Mega Evolve, and even allow trainers and Pokémon to reach a state of perfect unity.
Without needing detailed battle instructions, the Pokémon, bound by a strong bond, can perfectly understand the trainer's tactical intentions during battle.
For a deep bond to form, one needs time together, and on the other hand...
"The battles were awesome!!"
Natsuki stood at the entrance of the Raven City Battle Club, his expression excited.
"Through numerous high-level battles, you can not only improve your Pokémon's battle experience, but also cultivate teamwork and strengthen bonds—it's a win-win situation!"
"Miyo!"
"Yes, you can also shoot videos and post them online to get clicks, that's even more awesome!!"
Xia Mu rubbed his hands together, then walked towards the battle club with a swagger reminiscent of Connor.
Improve your teamwork with Golem in the Battle Club, gain battle experience for Meowth and Snivy, and after recording some videos, you can head to Raven City Gym for a challenge.
At that time.
"Hehehe~"
......
"Hey kid, what are you doing here?"
"Of course it's a battle, what else would it be but eating?!"
Dong George's expression froze for a moment.
It's been a long time since I've seen such an arrogant newcomer.
To be honest, at this point, Don George was already looking forward to seeing this arrogant kid get beaten to his knees.
"Have you registered with the battle club before? If not, you can become a member of the battle club for just 500 yuan."
"Once you register, you can play against each other in all the battle clubs in Unova, and you can also participate in all the tournaments hosted by Don George."
"Lead the way!"
After paying the fee, Xia Mu had his photos taken and a file created under the guidance of Dong George.
Xia Mu accepts all challenges, whether it's singles or doubles, except for the fact that he doesn't have enough Pokémon to participate in a full-scale 6v6 battle.
......
Battle clubs are common battle facilities throughout the Unova region, usually located in city centers or near transportation hubs.
It is another social center for trainers to gather and communicate, in addition to the Pokémon Center.
Therefore, many trainers who want to find someone to battle or enthusiasts who like to watch others battle gather here.
Therefore, Xia Mu received a response very quickly after his battle invitation was uploaded to the system.
[Ding! Please have Natsuki from Raven City proceed to Area A-1 for a match.]
[Ding! Player Li from Feiyun City, please proceed to Area A-1 for the match.]
Upon hearing the announcement over the loudspeaker, Xia Mu, who had been eagerly waiting, left the waiting area and headed towards the battle zone.
Upon arriving at the battle zone, Xia Mu's opponent was already on high alert.
The opponent was a boy with a red headband. Judging from his youthful appearance, Xia Mu guessed that he was a novice trainer who had just gone on a trip this year.
Then.
The club staff spoke directly:
"Mr. Li has chosen a Grass/Electric type opponent for a 1v1 singles battle. Does Ms. Xia Mu have any objections?"
"No!"
Xia Mu shook his head.
The lobby of the battle club has many bulletin boards connected to the internet.
Every registered trainer can fill in their own and their Pokémon's profile, as well as what kind of Pokémon they want to battle against, thus accurately matching them with opponents.
As for Natsuki, since she doesn't have this need, she's basically set to accept anything that comes her way.
"Alright, both players, take your positions!"
As the staff shouted, Xia Mu and Xiao Li stood on opposite sides of the battlefield and simultaneously threw out their Poké Balls.
"Come out, otter!"
"I choose you, Shin-chan!"
The moment Xia Mu saw the opponent's Pokémon, he was certain of his guess.
The opponent was a novice trainer who had just left home and came to the battle club to gain battle experience when his attributes were at a disadvantage.
"Miju~"
The Otter that emerged from the Poké Ball stood with its hands on its hips, looking very confident.
As one of the three starter Pokémon in the Unova region.
Otters are cute in appearance and have a large following online.
The water otter has a white head and paws, a blue body, and dark blue small feet that support its body.
It has two dark blue pointed objects on its head, black spots resembling freckles under its eyes, and a brown oval nose.
Most notably, the otter has shell-like scallops on its abdomen, which it can remove for attack or defense.
but.
"My new Leafy Cat is still cuter!"
Seemingly having overheard Xia Mu's mutterings, Xiao Li immediately retorted loudly.
"No, my otter is definitely cuter!"
"Oh."
Xia Mu scoffed at Xiao Li's words.
"I admit that otters' bellies feel soft and bouncy, but my New Leaf Cat not only has bouncy paws, but it also always smells sweet, and it's warm and relaxing to hold..."
"Well, my otter is... well, it's just super cute, the cutest in the world!!"
"Then my new cat, Xinye, is the cutest in the universe!"
"That otter is..."
Just as Xia Mu was arguing with the child opposite her like a kindergarten student.
Snivy leaped out of the Poké Ball, skillfully took out its phone from Xia Mu's waist bag, and started recording a video while simultaneously whipping Xia Mu's calf hard with its Vine Whip.
"Awoo~"
After a cry of pain, Xia Mu noticed that Tengteng Snake's eyes were slightly narrowed.
"My Snake Sister is the cutest in the universe!"
"Then I..."
In his haste, Xiao Li took out a Poké Ball from his waist bag, ready to continue arguing with Xia Mu.
But at that moment...
The staff member who had been staring blankly at the two arguing finally came to his senses.
"Ahem! The match is about to begin, please stop any unnecessary disputes..."
Upon hearing the referee's words, Xiao Li took a deep breath and then glared fiercely at Xia Mu with his big, moist, red eyes.
"Trainers should let their battles speak for themselves! I'll show you what true cuteness is!"
"Otter, prepare for battle!"
"Miju!"
Looking at the villain who made his trainer cry, Oshawott's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
New Leaf Cat was not to be outdone.
I'm definitely cuter than you, kitty!
What's the use of a soft belly?
They even hung a seashell on it—how despicable!
Staff member: "..."
To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen such a strong fighting spirit in a battle of this caliber.
