He knows Pokémon better than me.

The rules of the Water Boat Arena are that each side can use two Pokémon.

boom!
Lurina's first release is a small brown spindle-shaped fish with a pointed head and orange fins.

The whole body was suspended in the air, full of aggressiveness, as if it would fly out like an arrow at any time.

"I remember this Pokémon as..."

Xiaozhi subconsciously took out the pokédex. This small spindle-shaped fish is widely found in Lake Galar and seems to like jumping out of the water.

"Beep! The Pike, the evolved form of the Thornfish, is of water attribute. Its spear-like jaw is as hard as steel. It can rotate its tail fin to launch an attack. It is said that its meat is particularly delicious. Loto~!"

On the illustrated screen, there was a picture of an Ancient Moon Bird biting a scoop-pointed shuttle and trying to swallow it—

However, the Gu Yue bird can only swallow the pike in one bite.

The evolved version of the Toad is just like Pikachu, and if you force swallow it, it will just get stuck in your throat.

The voice of the illustrated guide also attracted the attention of the taciturn girl next to her. She pushed her glasses and looked over subconsciously.

It wasn't until she saw the Triple-Folded Rotom in Xiaozhi's hand that she showed a strange look and couldn't help but murmured:
“Hey, this isn’t me.”

The movement on the field interrupted her thoughts. The battle had begun and Hupp had thrown out his Poké Ball.

"Please, Braided Sheep!!"

The Braided Sheep Boy sent out the Braided Sheep.

"Spear of the Dipper, use Water Stream to Split!"

Lurina took the lead in launching the attack, and the forked tail fin of the shuttlecock began to spin at high speed, like a small propeller.

whoosh! !
Wrapped in the water flow, the pointed shuttle of the bucket rushed out instantly and knocked the braided sheep away.

Hep also got into the state and responded quickly:
"Braided Sheep, use electromagnetic waves!!"

The sheep with braids shook its head, sending out dense electric currents to attack its opponent.

Whoosh!

However, the shuttle moved lightly and swiftly, and had already moved to another position, easily avoiding the electromagnetic waves.

"Move at high speed!"

Then it circled around the braided sheep continuously, completely transforming into a brown shuttle, leaving only a trail of afterimages.

"The water breaks!"

The next moment, a water spear condensed at the front end of the spear and stabbed straight forward!

"In that case, use cotton to defend!!"

Hep quickly gave the order, and the sheep with braids nodded. The wool around its body instantly expanded and became a fluffy cotton ball.

Defense has been greatly improved!

The water stream broke through and pierced into the fluffy wool, causing the wool to instantly sink into a large hole. However, by the time the water stream reached the skin and flesh, its offensiveness had been greatly weakened.

"Right now, electromagnetic waves!!"

In the cotton ball state, the braided sheep once again spread out a paralyzing electric current, a zero-distance electromagnetic wave, and this time successfully hit the latter.

The speed of the shuttlecock also dropped visibly.

"Hey, don't underestimate the bond between me and Braided Sheep~!"

Hep also stretched his hand out of his pocket and grinned smugly.

Although the Knocking Monkey is one of the three starter Pokémons he received, this braided sheep has been his partner since he was a child!
Lulina's expression did not change, and she immediately changed her tactics:
"In that case. Water waves!"

The pointed shuttle suddenly condensed into a water bullet, which also exploded on the hairy sheep's body at close range, and water splashed all over the ground.

The originally fluffy and dense wool was now completely soaked and shrunk, and the cotton's defensive state was also released.

Not only that, the thick wool has a strong ability to absorb water.

At this moment, the Braided Sheep is equivalent to carrying two buckets of water while moving. The degree of speed reduction is even worse than that of the Paralyzed Shuttle.

"Hell Thrust!!"

This time, a fierce black light emanated from the front end of the pointed shuttle and shot towards the braided sheep like an arrow.

Even though the speed was not very fast in the paralyzed state, it was still not something that Braided Sheep could resist. "Damn it. Headbutt!"

Hep could only choose to resist forcefully.

However, in terms of strength, the Hell Thrust was superior. It deflected the Hairy Sheep's headbutt and then stabbed the Hairy Sheep in the face.

"End the battle! Break it apart with the water stream!!"

The pointed shuttle rushed out again, and this time a stream of water condensed on the head, making it even more powerful!
"Let's go all out, use self-sacrifice attack!!"

Hep gritted his teeth and launched his strongest charge.

Even though his Braided Sheep hasn't evolved yet, its level is not low and he has already mastered the big moves.

The sheep with braids nodded, and with golden light attached to its body, it charged out like a wild bull!

However, the shuttlecock suddenly shifted its body, and the water stream broke and rushed from the side. On the other hand, the woolly sheep, which was full of water, found it difficult to turn around, and was finally hit in the side by the water stream.

Boom! !
The Braided Sheep's self-sacrificing attack became a mess, and it rolled sideways, finally sprawling out, falling awkwardly on the edge of the arena.

Rotom Aerial quickly pronounced his verdict:

"The Braided Sheep has lost its ability to fight!"

The voice immediately caused a round of cheers in the venue, and many people said that she was worthy of being Lulina, and she was dazzling whether on the catwalk or on the battle stage.

However, there were also some boos mixed in.

"Hmm? Isn't that guy the younger brother of the champion Dandi? How could he be defeated so quickly?"

"That's it?"

"Are they really brothers? They don't have the Dan Emperor's fighting style at all!"

Sitting in the VIP open-air box, Xiaozhi also heard the discussions of the people around him and showed a surprised expression.

"It turns out that Hepu is Dandi's younger brother."

This was the first time he heard of this.

But the booing sound was a bit harsh, as it was only the first Pokémon. This made Xiaozhi frown.

On the field, Hepp took back his favorite Braided Sheep and took a deep breath.

He could also faintly hear the discussions around him. There had always been comments comparing him to his older brother, and he had long been accustomed to it.

"But I want to be a stronger trainer than my big brother! Please!!"

Hop's eyes narrowed and he sent out his second Pokémon.

This time it was a green monkey half the height of a man, looking very majestic. As soon as it appeared on the scene, it pulled out the two wooden sticks on its head and used them as its own attack weapon.

The three starter Pokémon of Galar's grass attribute, Padong!

"High-five surprise attack!!"

As soon as he appeared on the scene, he launched a quick attack, and with a slap, he froze the Hu Dou Jian Shuttle in place.

"Take advantage of this moment and stab with the branches!"

The Padong monkey rushed out quickly, while the Huodou sharp shuttle was in a paralyzed state, so the former was faster.

A green spike extended from the front end of the wooden stick. In a hurry, a water blade was quickly condensed at the front end of the spearhead.

Boom!

The two collided and were evenly matched, bouncing off each other.

However, Padong Monkey held the weapon with both hands. The wooden stick in his other hand was also covered with dangerous green spikes, which he stabbed out.

Whoops!

This time, the spear had no time to dodge and was hit in the side by the branch.

It even gives people the illusion that fish are being skewered on bamboo sticks.

Outstanding effect!

The scoop-shaped shuttle flew backwards in an instant. With its high speed and high attack, it was a big fragile creature! (End of this chapter)
