I got the Pokémon

Chapter 999 The Absolute Gap in Strength

Facing the close attack from the little flame monkey, Ali remained calm.

She first had Mashana use 'See Through' to dodge the attack, and then used a yoga pose when the two Pokémon's bodies were intertwined and the Flame Monkey moved away again.

Masha was seen sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, floating in the air, looking as if he had entered a state of meditation.

In fact, just from the name, you can know what this so-called yoga pose is.

As a super power attribute move, once used, it will awaken the dormant power deep within the body, thereby improving one's own attack capability. From the ability point of view, it is almost the same as those moves of other attributes that improve oneself, except for the different attributes.

only……

In the battle with himself, he clearly hadn't created enough distance, and without enough safe space, and without controlling the movements of the little flame monkey, but he just used it directly. Doesn't it seem a bit too presumptuous?

Did you think of yourself as a beginner after seeing the initial Pokémon, Blaze?
Or is that just her style?

After all, it was their first meeting, so Xia You wasn't very familiar with Ah Li, and naturally didn't know what her fighting style was like. He just felt that after just fighting, this young gym owner gave him a very immature feeling.

But no matter what, precisely because we just fought, we can't draw conclusions so early.

Let’s try again.

Thinking of this, Xia You naturally ordered the little flame monkey to spit sparks directly at the place where Mashana was.

Sparks is a basic skill of Fire-type Pokémon. Although it has low damage and moderate range, it is not very accurate.

But it still comes in handy sometimes!
For example, now, facing such a small-scale attack, Masana, who is in yoga posture, wants to dodge it even though there is a certain distance.

And Li, of course, didn't want Mashana to suffer such an injury so easily, so after hesitating for a while, he could only let Mashana break out of the yoga posture he had just entered and dodge to the side.

This also made Xia You shake his head.

If you don't stop making decisions, you will suffer the consequences...

Either you don't use such a move from the beginning, or you grit your teeth and complete it despite taking completely acceptable damage!

But Ali made the most wrong choice!

Admittedly, on the surface, Mashana was not affected by this move, which allowed it to retain the possibility of continuing to fight, and this approach is indeed correct at times.

But now is the beginning of the battle, which is the best time to increase attack power and maximize benefits, and she... has undoubtedly wasted precious opportunities and time!

In this case, don't blame me!
Xia You's grasp of timing is as accurate and deadly as ever.

Faced with an enemy of this level and in such a situation, he would naturally not show mercy.

Just when Mashana had just dodged, under his command, the second wave of attack by the Flame Monkey was launched.

The little flame monkey used its hands and feet to run towards Mashana at the fastest speed. When it was about half the distance left, it jumped up and pounced on the opponent.

Sparks obscured Mashana and Ali's vision.

When it dodged, it happened to collide with the oncoming little fire monkey.

The distance was so close and the meeting was so hasty that it had no time to perform any moves.

Not to mention it, even Ah Li was shocked. He never expected that the second attack of this little flame monkey would come so quickly!
Before she could even stand firmly, Masha was hit by a claw from the little flame monkey!
Monkey scratches are always very painful.

The fragile little body couldn't withstand any torture. Just a few hits made Masha grimace in pain.

After being attacked like this, Ali was obviously a little panicked.

In fact, the move of random claws looks very powerful and scary, but to put it bluntly, it's just a few random scratches. Although there will be some surface injuries, it is not enough to have any impact.

But it was this kind of attack that made Ali lose his composure.

She obviously lacked the adaptability to match the level of a 'gym owner', so she did not let Mashana distance herself to give it time to adjust. Instead, she commanded Mashana to fight hastily and engaged in close combat with the little flame monkey.

All I can say is that with her current level, it's okay if she's dealing with some new trainers, or a head-on fight without any tactics, but once she meets someone stronger than her, or encounters that kind of flexible fight, she will be completely out of her league.

This is also a common problem among most karate trainers.

After all, in their usual practice, they only thought about winning the victory head-on. As for those roundabout ways, they were obviously not their forte.

This can be seen from the clean and flat venue here.

And Ali is a typical person of this type.

Logically speaking, since Mashana has fighting attributes, he should have more advantages in close combat no matter what.

But obviously, because of the "hard-core" mentality in the trainer's mind, in this situation, especially when facing a trainer like Xia You, Masana fell into a passive situation, so that when facing the continuous attacks of Infernape, it could only parry.

But I have to say that although Ali is not very good, he is quite energetic.

When Mashana attacked, she also made the same movements as her Pokémon. When Mashana kicked, she followed suit. When Mashana punched, she punched too. She was very confident and looked very powerful.

However, this seemingly so-called "synchronization" with his own Pokémon made Xia You shake his head helplessly again.

Ali's mind is focused on following the Pokémon's movements, so how can he fully direct the battle?

Even though it was a subconscious action that she performed without thinking, it was still a distraction to some extent.

It is better to reduce such unnecessary actions.

After all, as a trainer, you should do your job well.

You know, although the battlefield is not big, if you want to be a good trainer, you can't just cheer for Pokémon from the sidelines.

Instead, you should start from the overall situation and observe the entire battlefield, not only the status of the two Pokémon that are fighting, but also any field conditions and mutation factors on the field.

Although the current situation on the field is not complicated at all and there is indeed nothing good to observe, this is not a reason for Ali to do this.

You should still stay focused.

Of course, Pokémon battles require diversity. It cannot be said that only one way is correct, nor does it mean that everyone has to do this. This is just Xia You's own perspective on the matter, and he simply thinks that this is an unnecessary action.

No matter what, Ali still has a lot of time to grow.

And her lack in all aspects naturally made it impossible for her to defeat Xia You's little flame monkey.

Although he used the ability to see through and dodge another 'grab' attack from the little flame monkey, he just couldn't pull away enough to use his telekinesis. Just as he was about to move, he was interrupted by sparks, forcing him to give up his movement and have to fight face to face again.

But even in close combat, although Mashana used the absorbing punch several times, Xia You, who had seen through his idea in advance, commanded the little Flame Monkey to dodge it easily. Moreover, under the provocation of the little Flame Monkey, Mashana completely lost his composure, and when he launched an attack in anger, he was easily knocked down by the little Flame Monkey.

Seeing his opponent fall, the little flame monkey danced happily, jumped up and down, looking very excited.

Compared to it, Ali's expression was undoubtedly much more embarrassed.

Lost again...

Fortunately, she had been defeated so many times since she became the gym leader that she gradually got used to it. She just thought that she fought even worse this time and had no ability to fight back at all.

But she still felt a little strange.

After all, in the previous battles, those challengers defeated me by relying on stronger Pokémon and better performance. How come this time... this little Flame Monkey is not that powerful, but why did I lose so badly?

Looking at his little flame monkey looking very happy, Xia You couldn't help but smile knowingly.

As a new member who was just conquered not long ago, it’s great to meet an opponent like Li!

Although it may be a bit unfair to describe her like this, as a touchstone for Flame, Ah Li is really useful.

At this time, under the complicated gaze of referee Kuloda, Ali sighed, took back the unconscious Mashana, and then took out the second Poké Ball.

As she opened the Poké Ball, she waited for the bright blue light to flash and a Golem appeared on the field.

As a Pokémon that has had too many encounters, Xia You is very familiar with Hao Li, and he also knows that Ali has chosen to give up defense and is planning to launch an all-out attack.

This is indeed the best option when you lose the first game.

After all, if you don’t try hard now and wait until the last round to give your all, it will be too late!

Faced with such a Pokémon, Xia You did not continue to let Charmander play. Instead, in the regretful look of Ali, he took it back and released his Frog.

As for why Ali felt regretful, it is actually easy to understand.

After all, she was 'already familiar' with the fighting style and abilities of the little flame monkey. If they fought again, she felt that she would most likely win, and this... was also the result and achievement she urgently needed.

But unfortunately, the man named Xia You took it away. Shaking his head, Ah Li turned his attention to the opponent in the second game.

Because of her experience, she had never seen this Froggy that was not from the Sinnoh region before, and she could even say that she had no idea about it. However, looking at its frog-like shape, even though it was black, it should be some kind of water-type Pokémon.

They fought and hit the water, neither side had the advantage.

Looking at its two frog legs and two frog claws, they all look weak and powerless, and it seems that it is not good at close combat.

Are the moves mainly based on water?
After weighing the pros and cons in her mind, Ali already had a preliminary plan in mind. This was when the game started again. She gave a direct order, asking Haoli to quickly approach the Quaotou Frog!
And just as she thought, the crocodile frog also sprayed out a strong stream of water at this moment, launching a long-range attack.

I have to say, even though Ali's command ability is not that good, her Pokémon's strength is still very good.

Faced with such an attack, Haoli did not dodge, but crossed his hands to protect his head, and approached the quack frog step by step with the water gun.

As expected of a Fighting-type Pokémon, this kind of perseverance is truly amazing!

Compared to it, although Ali’s own fighting ability is equally outstanding, his command as a trainer... is just so-so.

Of course, Xia You thought so much in her heart, and she was definitely not denying Ah Li. She just knew that her future journey would be long and difficult.

Ah Li naturally didn't know what Xia You was thinking about. Her attention at this moment was all focused on her Hao Li.

How powerful!

Just like what we have gone through before, we must be patient!
As she expected, Haoli walked towards the quack frog with firm steps while being washed by the water.

One step, two steps, five steps...

Just as the distance was getting closer, the water gun attack of the Quahog finally stopped!
When he saw the water disappear, Ah Li's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but shout loudly: "Haoli! Now!!"

Haoli's eyes focused, and at this moment he quickly ran towards the Quaotou Frog!
While Haoli was running towards the Quaotou Frog, Ali also glanced at the man opposite, but what surprised her was that, including the water gun just now, he had no intention of speaking until now.

How is this going?

Weren't you giving orders just now? Why are you silent now?

Without having time to think about it, she quickly turned her attention back when she saw that there had been changes in Haoli again.

On the field, Froghead acted on its own even though it did not receive any instructions from the trainer. Facing the powerful Goryeo, it did not choose to fight head-on, but ran to the edge with extremely flexible steps and speed, as if it wanted to deal with Goryeo in this way.

Haoli would naturally not let the Quaoto Frog leave like this.

It roared, patted the golden belt around its waist, then suddenly accelerated, bursting out with all its strength, and chased after the quack-headed frog.

Fortunately, there is nothing in this venue. In such an open space, the Quagga has no place to hide. No matter how fast it is, it will always be forced into a corner by the strong force.

And just as Li expected, as Hao Li approached again, the range of movement of the Quat Frog became smaller and smaller, and finally, the Quat Frog was forced into a dead corner.

Haoli stretched out his arms, with muscles bulging, blocking the possibility of the crocodile frog leaving from both sides.

But just when it thought that the quagga frog had no way to escape and was striding towards it, it saw the quagga frog suddenly exert force on its two legs and then jumped high!

With this jump, he jumped more than four meters high, almost reaching the ceiling!
Naturally, Haoli's head also raised along with the figure of the Quaker Frog, but the next second, his eyes were dazzled by the white light on the ceiling, and his eyes felt uncomfortable for about 0.1 seconds. At this moment, the figure of the Quaker Frog suddenly turned into several, and fell towards Haoli at the same time!

Shadow clone?

Ah Li was shocked. Looking at the five identical shadows in the air, she tried to figure out which one was the real one. But with her experience, how could she tell?
No matter how she looked at it, she felt that there was no difference between these clones. It was precisely because of this that she hesitated and was unable to give orders.

As for Gou Li, it took a long time to wait for the command from its trainer. Seeing these clones getting lower and lower, in a flash, in order to avoid waiting for death, it made its own judgment almost instinctively.

It opened its arms to the left and right and hit the two shadows in front of it at the same time, but unfortunately, the two fists it swung out actually penetrated those shadows and ended up with nothing.

In the next second, the remaining shadows fell at the same time, and the croaking frog on the far right raised its big frog claws and slapped Haoli in the face!

Don't hit someone in the face. The frog obviously doesn't understand this principle.

That’s not all. Just as Haoli leaned back, the crocodile frog grabbed a handful of foam at the side of his neck with its claws. With a swipe, it hit Haoli’s eyes accurately with a “pop” sound!

After being hit by this silky little combo, Haoli felt dizzy and blinded. He could only squat on the ground in pain, covering his eyes.

Seeing this, Xiaoyao in the stands couldn't help but feel embarrassed for Ali.

She shook her head and said to Yami with a wry smile, "Brother Xia You and Frog have practiced this set of moves for a long time and are already very proficient. Now that they are used, it is really suitable to deal with these stubborn Pokémon, but..."

Yami snickered: "It's just that Miss Li is very miserable, right?"

Xiaoyao nodded.

It is said that a bystander sees more clearly, let alone excellent trainers like them.

Even they could see that there was a huge gap between this gym owner and Xia You, not only in strength, but also in command, overall view and details. He couldn't even cause much trouble to the little flame monkey that he had just subdued not long ago. This shows how strong this gym owner is.

No wonder Brother Xia You completely left the battle to his own Pokémon.

It turns out that he doesn't want to bully such a weak gym owner...

Turning his attention back to the field, just when Haoli wanted to wipe the foam off his face, the Quaking Frog turned around and launched the next wave of attacks.

Seeing this, Ah Li was naturally very anxious and shouted loudly: "Be careful! It's behind us!"

Hearing Ah Li's voice, Haoli dared not delay any longer. He didn't care about the foam on his face anymore. He closed his eyes and turned around to punch!
Such a punch naturally could not hit the croaking frog, but it temporarily forced it back and gave Haoli a chance to catch his breath.

Thump thump thump!

The footsteps of the Quagga Frog echoed around Haoli, but because the footsteps were so fast, Haoli couldn't tell where it was at all!
Just when he was about to reach out a hand to wipe the foam off his face again, the crocodile frog pounced on him again!
"Be careful!!"

Ah Li's voice made Haoli more alert. Although he didn't become any smarter after long-term training, he was able to roughly identify the location of the Quagola Frog through its breath and sound, and knew that it was not a long-range attack, so he crossed his hands and prepared for defense.

But in the next second, it felt something was wrong.

A powerful fist hit his lower abdomen, and the pain immediately made Haoli realize that this was definitely not an ordinary attack!
Being knocked several meters away by the huge force, Hao Li fell on his back with a 'bang'.

After a few seconds, it sat up, wiped all the foam off its face, and looked up again. Only then did it find that the crocodile frog was standing more than ten steps away, looking at it expressionlessly.

And on its right fist, the blue vapor was slowly dissipating.

It turned out to be the wave of water, it was indeed not an ordinary fist!

No wonder it hurts so much!
After rubbing his stomach, Hao Li stood up again and stared at his opponent with a serious look.

After being beaten so many times, the body becomes more resistant to beatings, and such injuries are not enough to end it directly.

From this point of view, even though we often lose, we also gain something.

But it's obviously not a solution to keep losing like this...

He glanced at his trainer, and Li apparently came to his senses at this time and gave the order again.

"Haoli, let's try again, this time using the Earth!"

Haoli regrouped and rushed towards the quack-headed frog again.

But this time, after seeing the tricks of the croaking frog, it became cautious. Although it was still very imposing, it was undoubtedly more cautious.

Being afraid before the battle is undoubtedly fatal to a Fighting-type Pokémon.

It can be said that Xia You was keenly aware of this change, but he remained silent and left the battlefield entirely to his Pokémon.

That's right, after replacing Flame Monkey, he completely let go, just like when he challenged the Black Gold Gym.

It was really not worth his participation to face an opponent of this strength unless there were special circumstances. But even so, as the strength of his Pokémon increased bit by bit, they became more and more adept at dealing with such situations.

The most important thing is their confidence that they will never lose!
As the two Pokémon approached each other quickly, they collided again.

Haoli stretched out his two hands and grabbed the quack-headed frog, as if he was going to imprison it and throw it to the ground, but at the same time, his eyes were fixed on the shoulders of the quack-headed frog.

It is said that the shoulder moves before the fist or elbow.

No matter what big movements the hands and elbows make, they will be expressed through the shoulders first. It is through such changes that Haoli intends to judge the next move of the Quaking Frog in advance so that he can take countermeasures at any time.

But unfortunately, the opponent it faces this time is not just its limbs.

At the moment of the fight, the Quaking Frog knew what Haoli was planning by the changes in his eyes.

Almost subconsciously, its two arms did not move, but its mouth opened. The next second, a long tongue shot out like an arrow towards Haoli's face!
