: Delinquent Frog vs. Ralts, The Shameless Trainer

Since it was just to help Ralts get used to Pokémon battles and no formal venue was needed, Wei Xin and Ralts stood in the courtyard of the dormitory.

The rival, the scoundrel, was not far from them, while Mary...

Because the scoundrel disliked him, he could only hold Morpeko and act as the referee on the sidelines.

An incompetent trainer...

The rascal squatted on the ground, stretched out its foot, drew a circle on the ground, encircling itself, raised its finger to point to its foot and the circle on the ground, and provocatively beckoned to Wei Xin and Ralts.

"I see, so it means he wins if his foot lands outside the circle?"

Wei Xin smiled. The difference in levels was obvious. He had initially hoped that Ralts would defeat Croagunk directly.

"Ralu!"

Faced with the delinquent frog's provocation, Ralts slammed its fist down hard with a loud crack, its eyes gleaming with fighting spirit.

"Ralts' first Pokémon battle, against Croagunk. The battle begins."

Mary waved down the chopsticks with a handkerchief tied to them, which were also a cosplay flag, and announced the start of the battle.

"The opponent is strong, let's go all out, Ralts! Use Shadow Clone Jutsu and then Charge Beam!"

Aside from two-player doubles battles, to prevent situations where one player dominates while the other wreaks havoc, trainer commands are limited. In other battle modes, trainers can issue multiple commands simultaneously, as long as the Pokémon can execute them.

Combining and developing moves is also one of the essential courses for trainers.

At Wei Xin's command, Ralts opened its arms, and six or seven afterimages surrounded the Delinquent. Then, the clones and the main body made the same movement, reaching their hands towards the orange horns above their heads, and blinding lightning appeared.

During the battle, Ralts felt a special connection between herself and her trainer, as if she were holding the answer key to a reading comprehension exercise.

She could fully understand every command the trainer gave, and the meaning behind those commands.

What she needs to do is use her body to perfectly execute every command from the trainer.

The key to victory lies within this.

"Ralts!" Ralts shouted, and bolts of electricity shot out, with six or seven charging beams striking the Delinquent Frog directly.

Bring it on, you scoundrel frog! Charge beams will fly out in a radius of twenty decimeters!

The trainer's commands seemed to include strange sounds and images.

The shrew stood still, closed its eyes, and maximized its senses. With the help of its danger awareness ability and its battle experience, it accurately sensed the path of the charging beam.

Just like a pro showing off his skills to a newbie, the Delinquent jumped up on the spot just as Ralts' attack was about to hit him.

Countless bolts of lightning passed through his body, but they were merely illusions created by his shadow clone skill. The only attack that could touch him was dodged by the slightest mistake.

Boxer briefs! Boxer briefs!

The scoundrel gracefully landed back on its spot, wiping the dust off its body—an extension of its own characteristics.

"In that case, Ralts, get close and use Fire Punch."

"Ralts!" Ralts' fist burst into flames as it sprinted towards Croagunk, raising its fist to strike Croagunk's abdomen.

Croagunk slightly turned to the side, dodging Ralts' attack. As a physical attacker, Croagunk is an expert in close combat.

"Again, Ralts, use Fire Punch!"

However, the difference in strength between himself and Ralts was too great. With a single punch, the difference of fifty levels was too much for Ralts to handle.

If the battle, which was already so lopsided, ended there and Ralts didn't get any training, wouldn't that be too boring?

So, Croagunk swayed its body, using its agile movements and anticipation of Ralts' attack positions to perfectly dodge all of Ralts' attacks in the limited space.

Seeing that all her moves missed and she couldn't even touch the skin of the lemur, Ralts, who lacked battle experience, started to have some mental issues.

Unease, fear, and anxiety gradually welled up in his heart, so he turned his head and glanced at his trainer.

You need to think of a solution quickly...

Until he saw his trainer, whose calm expression, like the delinquent in front of him, seemed to indicate that everything was under his control.

He even gave himself a thumbs-up, as if to comfort himself.

You just focus on outputting the output; leave the solutions to the trainers.

Wei Xin's confident face became a boost for Ralts. Through their telepathic connection, Ralts understood that the trainer was not just pretending to be calm, but was actually very confident.

Therefore, there is only one thing I need to do.

That is to trust your trainer, fight, fight relentlessly, until victory comes.

Ralts turned its head, the flames on its hands burning even brighter, and waved them continuously in front of the Croagunk.

Seeing that Ralts remained silent and only kept punching, and Wei Xin did not give any new instructions, the rascal was getting a little bored.

Ultimately, they're just new trainers and fledgling Pokémon; I'm still looking forward to the surprises they might bring.

It was really boring for the frog.

So, Croagunk sidestepped Ralts's Flame Punch and, before she could finish, reached out and tried to grab Ralts's arm.

Then, a simple, light blow to break the tile would end the tedious battle.

Then, after experiencing the humiliation of failure like I have, become stronger at all costs.

It's now!

Even seasoned gunmen may experience a moment of lapse in concentration when pulling the trigger.

Wei Xin, who was watching from the sidelines, calculated Ralts' reaction time and issued the command the moment the Croagunk moved!

"Ralts, use Teleport!"

Instant teleportation—is he planning to escape? No!

The moment they made contact with Ralts, they flashed, and as the circle on the ground appeared behind them, Croagunk realized something was wrong just as his feet were about to touch the ground.

The difference in strength is as insurmountable as a chasm, and coupled with the ability to anticipate and defend against attack skills, Ralts is destined to be unable to hit itself now.

Therefore, Wei Xin never intended to use skills to launch a strong attack from the beginning.

The moment he learned the conditions for victory, he planned to have Ralts use Teleport to take him out of the circle.

You've been tricked, you naughty frog! This is my movement route!

The wicked frog smiled slightly.

What a delightfully despicable trainer.

Given time, he and Ralts will surely become outstanding players, excellent enough to win in any battle.

But not now!

Just before landing, the stun frog, relying on its powerful core strength, tightened its abdomen, retracted its legs, and broke free from Ralts's arms.

He raised his hand and used a tile-breaking technique on the ground, wedging both hands into the ground and standing upside down.

He then opened his mouth and used a mud attack on the ground. Using the recoil from the skill, as well as the power of his hands and waist, he leaped high into the air, intending to return to the circle.

"How could I let you escape, Ralts! Use Charge Beam!"

"Ralts!" At the moment when the Delind leaped to its highest point, Ralts opened its arms and a bolt of lightning struck the Delind in mid-air.

Unable to dodge in mid-air, the Croagunk unleashed a Mud attack, spitting out a mud bullet that pierced Ralts's Charge Beam. An explosion rang out, and black smoke billowed into the air, obscuring visibility.

Then, the brown mud bullet pierced through the black mist and smashed straight towards Ralts.

He never said he wouldn't fight back.

However, just as it was about to land on the ground, Ralts disappeared from Delinquent's sight, replaced by its trembling skin.

And look behind you?

"Ralts, use Fire Punch!"

As if anticipating Wei Xin's instructions and having prepared in advance, they did so almost the instant Wei Xin spoke.

Ralts appeared behind Croagunk, its fist burning with flames, and with its full weight, smashed into Croagunk's face.
