He knows Pokémon better than me.

In the obsidian plains, the two found a flat area and set up their fighting stance.

"Aww~!"

Babydra took the lead and jumped in front of Ash.

Despite being a newborn baby, its roars had a rough, husky quality, which made Xiao Zhi chuckle.

Then he looked at Wang Luo. If this guy sent out a Pokémon like Togekiss, it wouldn't be very interesting.

boom!
The Emerald Ball is activated, and a small, gray-blue shark appears, its round body connected to its head.

"Shark roar~!"

Like the baby dragon, it made a grand entrance, roaring with its mouth wide open.

This time it's a native pseudo-legendary baby, Gible!
"Interesting, a Baby Dragon versus a Gible?!"

Ash's eyes lit up; this was indeed a suitable opponent.
However, judging from the appearance of this gible, it seems to have been training for some time and is not a newborn baby.

"Hehe~ My Gible is about to evolve, and it'll be really strong~"

Wang Luo didn't hide anything and said with a smile.

His ace, like Cynthia, is a Garchomp, so he is very knowledgeable about the timing of Pokémon evolution.

"That's just right!"

Ash laughed loudly, showing no fear whatsoever. His precious dragon was far beyond what ordinary pseudo-legendary cubs could be described as.

Before he could even give the order, Baby Dragon had already charged out.

Halfway there, it kicked up its feet, its gray, hard-shelled head glowing pink, and it shot towards its target like a cannonball.

The mind hammer!

"Gible, dig a hole!"

The gible immediately dug a hole in the spot to dodge the attack and burrowed underground to wait for another chance to strike.

"Digging tunnels won't work for us!"

Ash raised his hand, and the Aura Force activated instantly, simultaneously transmitting Gible's location into Bagon's mind.

"Wow?!"

When it first came into contact with the power of waveguides, Baby Dragon was startled and looked around to find the source.

Seeing Ash's encouraging smile behind it, it finally snapped out of its daze and grinned, revealing a cute yet fierce expression.

The next moment, Gible burst out of the ground, clenching its fist and smashing it towards Bellatrix's chin.

Aww!!
However, the baby dragon had anticipated this, and with one bite, it caught the gible's arm, trapping it and making it unable to pull back.

Ash had already checked the Pokédex to see all the moves Bagon currently knew, and immediately said:

"Now, double strike!"

This appears to be a genetically inherited move.

The baby dragon maintained its bite, its claws coated with pale blue arc light to form energy dragon claws, and then slashed at the target in the middle with both claws.

Wang Luo's expression also became extremely focused. Although both of them were using baby Pokémon, he had not experienced this kind of command duel at the same level many times in the Xicui region.

A rare surge of excitement welled up within me.

"Gible, use Dragon Breath!"

While panicking after being bitten on the arm, Gible instantly regained its composure upon hearing the trainer's words.

He then unleashed a burst of pale blue dragon breath.

The attack, delivered almost directly to the face, was incredibly effective, causing the baby dragon to wince in pain and release its grip.

Outstanding effect!

However, the Baby Dragon's double slash did not completely dissipate, and almost simultaneously, it slammed hard into the belly of the Gible.

With a thud, the latter was thrown out like a ball, landing awkwardly in front of Wang Luo.

Outstanding effect!

Baby Dragon vigorously wiped its face to recover from the dragon breath, and Ash immediately gave the order:
"Now! The wave of evil!"

This is the second inherited move of the dragon. It's strange, since the evolved Salamence is a Dragon/Flying type, it should inherit a move like "Dragon Dive" or "Hurricane".

As a result, he inherited the Evil Pulse technique?
The baby dragon opened its mouth as wide as possible, and in an instant, an energy shockwave composed of countless black light rings roared out!

Since it had just hatched, the baby dragon couldn't control the move well yet, and the reaction force of the Dark Pulse caused it to stagger backward.

"A wave of evil?"

Wang Luo was stunned. This was obviously a newborn baby. It not only had the strength to rival that of Gible, which he had been training for three months, but it also possessed such powerful moves.

Of course, it's also very easy to deal with.

"Dig a hole!"

The giblet dug a hole in the spot and easily dodged.

However, this time he dared not approach again to seize an opportunity to attack.

"Does this guy possess some kind of superpower of perception?"

Wang Luo wasn't too surprised; it's quite reasonable for an excellent trainer to have superpowers!
"In that case, let's try this move: Quicksand Hell!"

However, underground, the giblets did not probe their heads, but the ground began to shake continuously, and the originally hard soil gradually turned into soft quicksand, constantly spiraling.

The baby dragon's feet sank into the water and it was being dragged down.

"Drink it!!"

Before Ash could react, Baby Dragon leaped up, soaring several meters into the air.

"Nice jumping ability, but that's useless~"

Wang Luo chuckled lightly. No matter how high you jump, you'll eventually land. Meanwhile, Gible was hiding underground, continuing to expand the quicksand area.

Once you fall in, you will be completely trapped in quicksand and at the mercy of others!
But after waiting for quite a while, the baby dragon still hadn't landed.

Wang Luo raised an eyebrow. Hadn't he only jumped three meters high? He subconsciously looked up and saw that Baby Dragon was now "floating" in the air, its arms raised as if spreading its wings.

"Flying?"

Wang Luo looked astonished.

Ash, who was behind the Bagon, could see it more clearly.

"Not flying, but hovering?"

If you look closely, you can see that the baby dragon is still descending, but the process is extremely slow, to the point that it is "floating".

Moreover, the tiny red feathers that were originally flat against the baby dragon's back have now spread out.

Although it doesn't quite reach the point of forming wings, it seems to have endowed the baby dragon with an extraordinary ability to stay airborne.
"Is this the unique power of ancient species?!"

Xiao Zhi was equally surprised.

Baby dragons yearn to fly even in their infancy; perhaps ancient baby dragons actually possessed a similar ability to fly?
Moreover, he remembered that the final evolved form of Salamence had blood wings that were like two hard iron plates and had no feathers at all.

"Could it be that the ancient species of Salamence was more like a bird, with wings covered in red feathers?"

Pulling himself back to reality, Xiao Zhi focused his gaze.

This ability to stay airborne gives Baby Dragon enough time to lock onto its target.

then
"Double slash!!"

The next moment, the baby dragon suddenly accelerated and swooped down, its arms covered with blue claws, slashing straight towards a certain place in the quicksand hell.

Whoosh!
The powerful impact force cleaved a gap in the quicksand, and the two consecutive slashes landed squarely on the face of the Gible.

The effect was outstanding! (End of Chapter)
