Squirtle vs. Ralts

When faced with something to deal with, Wei Xin likes to arrive early so that he has enough buffer time to deal with any unexpected situations.

Gengar hid its own and Mimikyu's Poké Balls inside its belly, concealing itself in Weixin's shadow.

"No disruptive behavior or pranks during the match, understand?" Wei Xin commanded the Gengar in the shadows, standing on the field.

This morning, when the long-haired troll got up and drank his protein powder, he found that it tasted sweet. Upon inspection, he discovered that the entire can of protein powder had been replaced with milk tea powder.

Morubec discovered that toothpaste had been smeared inside his sandwich cookies.

Wei Xin walked out of the kitchen and found Gengar, who had been beaten up by the shrew for his failed prank, squatting in the corner of the room, hugging his knees and crying.

It's like hitting a hot plate and getting paronychia.

"Hey!" From Wei Xin's shadow, a chubby little purple hand reached out and made an OK sign.

Shortly after, the referee and Wei Xin's opponents arrived at the stadium.

"The opponent is strong, but we won't lose! Let's go, Squirtle!"

"Jenny, Jenny!" A student named Wang Jie threw out a Poké Ball, and a small blue turtle with a shell and three fingers on each of its four limbs appeared on the field. Its wavy tail swayed excitedly up and down, tapping the ground.

As star players, Wang Jie was well aware of Wei Xin and Ralts's exceptional abilities, so he and Squirtle prepared a special tactic.

Wei Xin smiled and said, "Ralts, be careful."

"Ralts!" As Ralts appeared on the field, Squirtle leaped into the air, its limbs and head disappearing into its shell.

If it's not a skill, could it be some kind of tactic?

"Squirtle, spin at high speed!"

"Ralts, Charge Beam!"

"Squirtle!" Squirtle cried out from inside its shell, slapping its tail against the ground, and its shell began to spin around on the field.

"Ralu!"

Ralts fired a charging beam that struck Squirtle's shell. Although some of the electricity was dispersed by Squirtle's rapidly spinning shell, it still caused considerable damage to Squirtle.

Using high-speed rotation to reduce damage is indeed a good tactic, but you can't win a Pokémon battle by simply defending. Wei Xin felt that his opponent's tactics couldn't be that simple.

The wariness in Wei Xin's heart, along with the connection between the two, fell on Ralts.

"Squirtle, use Shadow Clone Jutsu followed by Spinning Water Gun!"

As expected, under the trainer's command, five turtle shells appeared on the field at the same time. Water jets shot out from the front of each turtle shell. With the help of the high-speed rotation, waves surged across the entire field. The pentagon formed by countless arcs continued to tighten, locking Ralts tightly in place.

Take this, Ralts! Its attack range covers the entire arena! Squirtle Spinning Water Gun, creating a surging wave!

"A truly brilliant tactic," Wei Xin couldn't help but praise.

Moreover, the high-speed rotation adds power to the water jet, greatly enhancing its effectiveness. Once Ralts is hit, she will be met with a torrential downpour of attacks.

Logically speaking, even if it weren't Ralts with telepathy, other Pokémon would be unlikely to run into a real water gun with only a one-in-five chance if they moved their position slightly.

Wei Xin figured the other side couldn't possibly have missed this, so he commanded, "Ralts, fly!"

"What?"

What do you want Ralts to do?

Before Wang Jie could react, a blue glow appeared on Ralts' body on the field. Its white legs gently touched the ground, and it floated up slowly like a balloon, dodging Squirtle's attack.

This is what she learned from Gengar last night in a fit of anger.

Just as Wei Xin had warned, Squirtle's spinning water guns collided, splashing a large amount of water. He used his shadow clones and high-speed movement to constantly switch positions with his clones on the field, making up for the disadvantage that only the main body could damage the opponent when the shadow clones were used for attacks.

It even gave rise to the prototype of the most famous tactic in the Pokémon series, the Counter Shield.

However, since it was a tactic developed on the spot and was limited by the shape of the turtle shell, Squirtle's spinning water gun could not hit airborne units.

If Squirtle stops spinning now, it will be easily hit by Ralts's Charge Beam. Given Squirtle's remaining stamina and Ralts's skill power, this battle may be over.

While Ralts is using psychic levitation, she cannot use other skills.

The original tactics were easily broken, and his commands would be overheard by the opponent, who would then devise a countermeasure. It was like taking an exam where none of the questions the teacher predicted came up, but instead, the exam paper contained difficult questions that the teacher had repeatedly mentioned but would never be on the test. Wang Jie couldn't think of a solution for a moment.

Is this the strength of the top freshman?

Thus, the entire battle turned into a contest of stamina between Ralts and Squirtle.

Ralts only needs to maintain its psychic powers, while Squirtle needs to use Shadow Clone, High Speed ​​Spin, and Water Gun simultaneously, which consumes a lot of stamina.

As time went on, Squirtle's water jets became smaller and smaller, from a towering pillar to a small water gun for entertainment, and finally, it could only squeeze out a thin stream of water, even with foam.

Finally, Squirtle stopped spinning, crawled out of its shell, lowered its head, knelt on the ground, and gasped for breath.

There's not a single drop left.

"Ralts, Charge Beam!" Seeing that Squirtle was doomed, Wei Xin commanded Ralts to deliver the final blow to Squirtle.

Unexpectedly, Wang Jie suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, just waiting for you to let your guard down.

"Now, Squirtle, use Shell Smash and throw the shell out."

"Squirtle!" Squirtle reversed its defeat, crawled out of its shell, stood naked on the field, picked up its shell, spun it around on the ground, and threw it at Ralts in the air.

Ralts's charging beam struck Squirtle's shell.

You've been tricked, haven't you? This is my and Squirtle's ultimate attack.

"Squirtle, jump up and use the water gun!" Wang Jie commanded.

Squirtle leaped into the air, grabbing its shell which was slightly hot from the electric shock. Using the momentum, it flew into the air, clenched its fists, puffed out its chest, opened its mouth, and used its last remaining strength, along with a jet of water from its mouth, to pounce on Ralts.

Ralts was nowhere to be seen in mid-air.

"Take a look down there?" Wei Xin pointed to the ground beneath Squirtle's feet as it flew through the air. The instant the charging beam was fired, Ralts used Teleport to land steadily on the ground.

"Ralts, use Return!"

Squirtle's shell landed on the ground, and its body began to fall. In its terror, Squirtle saw white light wrapped around Ralts's arm, rising from below and pointing towards its chin.

With a thud, a sharp pain shot through his chin, and Squirtle flew backward, crashing to the ground amidst a jet of water, unable to get up again.

"Squirtle is no match for Ralts! Wei Xin advances to the main tournament."

"As expected of Brother Guangkuo." With the outcome decided, Wang Jie sighed, recalled Squirtle into its Poké Ball, and carrying Squirtle's shell, headed towards the school hospital.

"Fortunately, I didn't let my guard down." Wei Xin wiped the sweat from his brow. He acknowledged the opponent's strength; both their tactical development and their improvisation at the end had exceeded his expectations.

Unfortunately, the other side encountered itself.

[Complete a Pokémon battle and receive 2000 Action Points as a reward]

Because neither of their Pokémon were at a high level, the system rewarded them with a small number of points, but it was enough for Wei Xin to complete a ten-pull.

Just as Wei Xin was planning to launch a ten-round attack on the spot to prepare for the operation that night, his phone rang.

It was a call from Senior Hu at the research center.

When the call connected, Hu's trembling voice came through the phone: "Junior brother, the research center is haunted."
