Elf: Re-employment of retired champion of Padiya

Chapter 758 Nemo VS Orchid
The battle between Froakie and Lapras.

Even though Nemo and Iris are both promising trainers, it can't be considered a battle of weaklings.

However, due to the limitations of the Pokémon's own strength, the entire battle was rather dull to watch.

Iris is still studying at Twin Dragons Academy, and it will be at least a few more months before she and Ash set off on their journey in the Unova region.

Her Lapras was a baby Pokémon not long ago. Even though it looks much bigger now, almost as big as the Lapras Ash caught in the Orange Islands, it doesn't change the fact that this Lapras didn't actually receive much training during this time.

They only know a few basic moves, as well as genetic moves that are completely inaccurate.

On the other side, Nemo's croaking frog had only been hatched for a short time.

Today was its first battle; it hadn't even undergone proper training before.

Just like in the game "Zhu/Zi".

Even though Nemo is a qualified Champion Trainer who passed the Champion Test fair and square, aside from her title, there are still limitations to what she can achieve.

"Pound," "Grunt," "Bubble," "Quick Attack," and the spawn-type moves "Mind's Eye" and "Power-Up Punch."

This move pool is already considered to be among the better ones for a beginner-level Pokémon.

For these reasons, the way a current champion trainer and a future league champion fight each other is very simple and straightforward.

In the end, Nemo proved to be the better player, securing victory with "Boost Punch," a move mastered by Froakie that is highly effective against Ice-type Lapras, easy to control, and has additional effects.

The second battle became a bit more interesting.

Alice sent out her team's current ace, the true earth dragon—Dragon Head Groundhog!
Nemo sent out her second team of Pokémon, which was also the evolved form of Dusty Ranger, the first Pokémon she had caught in her second team.

Both are well-trained Pokémon with ample combat experience, and their move pools are more diverse than those of Froakie and Lapras from the previous round.

Under the command of Nemo and Alice, the two sides engaged in what could be described as a fierce battle.
"Dig a hole!" Alice declared emphatically.

The dragon-headed ground squirrel raised its sharp steel claws high, merging them with the metal blade on its head to form a steel drill bit that reflected a cold, icy gleam in the sunlight.

Immediately afterwards, the dragon-headed groundhog, enveloped in a swirling, earthy-yellow aura, leaped up.

With a loud thud, the dragon-headed ground squirrel burrowed into the ground.

buzzing-

The dragon-headed gopher's movements underground caused the ground to tremble violently.

"Get out of the way!"

Nemo gave the instructions immediately.

The wandering night spirit sensed the hostility rapidly approaching it from underground and immediately chose to dodge to the side.

But it underestimated the speed at which the dragon-headed ground squirrel could dig tunnels.

The original gap of several dozen meters was traversed in the blink of an eye thanks to the digging speed of the dragon-headed ground squirrel.

Luo Mu was extremely envious of this.

Thanks to its body structure, it can dig quickly, and it also has a "plowing" technique.

Compared to the intensity of battles, Luo Mu thinks the Rat-Headed Earth Dragon is more suitable for farming on a farm!

at the same time.

By the time the Dragonhead Groundhog burst through the solid ground, the Wandering Night Spirit's somewhat clumsy evasive maneuver was not even halfway complete.

Bang-!
This skill's Dig skill hits the Wandering Night Spirit directly!
Even though she hit the Wandering Night Spirit, Alice didn't show the slightest smile on her face.

—Because the Wandering Night Spirit's body only swayed slightly before it continued to swing its "Flame Fist" at the Dragon Head Ground Rat.

A direct hit from "Dig" couldn't even make it retreat or be briefly stunned. This terrifying defensive power was even more outrageous than many Steel-type Pokémon that Iris knew that focused on defense!
After the first "digging" did not cause significant damage, Alice's smile gradually disappeared. She pursed her lips and looked at the back of the dragon-headed gopher, her little face full of solemnity.

If this continues, even if the Night Spirit's attack power is not strong, it will fall down before the Dragon Head Rat can cause enough damage!
It's probably because they really lack experience.

Despite the obvious difference in strength and experience, Alice and Dragon Head Mole, who only knew how to fight straightforwardly, couldn't hold on and were forced to lose.

This was achieved even though Nemo also preferred straightforward combat, unlike the ruthless Luo Mu who used fancy tricks.

After the battle, Alice was somewhat disappointed, but she was also aware of the gap between herself and Nemo. She simply waved her little fist, indicating that she would one day return for revenge.

the other side.

The battle between Rosamund and Guava also came to an end shortly after the battle between Alice and Nemo.

The two did not switch Pokémon throughout the entire battle, using only Garchomp and Garchomp in the battle.

Of course, Guava isn't strong enough to last that long against Cyndaquil's Garchomp. Didn't you see that Arcanine only managed to inflict a burn on Garchomp before collapsing?

In their battle, Zhu Lan basically directed the fight with the mindset of conducting a teaching exercise, and even gave Fan Shilang time to catch his breath and think.

Otherwise, if Guazi could really hold out against Cynthia's Garchomp for so long using only Garchomp, then with a little more training, he could totally go and take over the Elite Four position in the Unova League.

After the battle, Fan Shilang, just like when he had been beaten into submission by Luo Mu a few days earlier, treated Zhu Lan with utmost respect.

However, one was completely subdued and treated with utmost respect, while the other treated him with the same utmost respect as a "life mentor."

After all, what he gained from this battle was probably more than what he could have gained after a long period of independent exploration.

Even the path Garchomp should take after completing its final evolution, and how to raise it, Guava had a certain concept and idea in his mind.

It can be said that even if he went back and his parents broke his legs after this battle, he would still have come out ahead!
A bunch of Pokémon from the farm watched intently, and the injured Pokémon quickly received proper treatment.

Judging from the speed at which the Flower Therapy Ring and the Almost Doll heal, you can tell they're probably enjoying it too.

The second round of matches.

Alice's Laplace and Dragonhead Gopher still need time to recover, while Guava is still basking in the afterglow of his previous gains.

Therefore, neither of them will play for the time being.

Luo Mu was already eager to fight, whether it was Zhu Lan or Nimo, he was ready to fight first and then deal with the consequences.

Connemo suddenly blurted out—

"I want to fight the champion of Bamboo Orchid first!"

"Please also take a look, teacher, and see if I have made any progress since I was in Tsukita City!"

Luo Mu was well aware of the emotions contained in Nemo's gaze as she looked at him.

It's a gaze that wants to showcase oneself, but also wants to save the best for last.
"I don't mind, after all, there's still plenty of time before the scheduled boarding time."

Zhu Lan and Ni Mo exchanged a smile.

Clearly, they were thinking the same thing.

Neither of them intended to underestimate the other's strength; it's just that the "main course" had to be saved for later.

The two stood face to face, exchanged a glance, and simultaneously threw out their Poké Balls.

"Lucario!"

"Moon Moon Bear!"
