Pokémon Scenario: Intercepting Gible at the Start

Upon hearing the command, Garchomp began to dance on the spot, surrounded by sword energy, its momentum creating a small vortex on the entire arena.

"Single sword sheath, before they stack up, use the cannon beam!"

The beam of the cannon shot flashed, but Garchomp continued its sword dance, enduring the attack head-on.

Without waiting for Shang Qiu's command, Garchomp suddenly dug a large hole in the ground and jumped down.

I'm performing a sword dance underground, come in if you dare!

(High fever persists, 39 degrees Celsius; I spent the entire afternoon writing this chapter...)

Chapter 121 Ruthless Roughneck: Sharp-Toothed Garchomp

Watching Garchomp dive into the ground, the single-scabbard stood bewildered at the cave entrance.

Brother, I'm the one who's in a vulnerable position, okay?

How do you manage to be both strong and cunning?

Zhang Muchu's beautiful eyes flashed with astonishment. This was the first time she had ever seen such a feat—a sword dance performed underground.

But even underground sword dance can't escape the fate of being worn down, can it?

"Single-edged sword, dive in and attack!"

Upon hearing Zhang Muchu's words, Shang Qiu's lips curled up into a triumphant smile.

"Garcut, use Earthquake!"

The Earthquake skill deals double damage to burrowing units. The Earthquake skill already deals high damage, but its damage to underground units is off the charts.

Zhang Muchu looked at Shang Qiu in surprise. Shang Qiu's behavior was completely self-destructive.

Although the single-edged sword sheath will be instantly destroyed by this earthquake, Shang Qiu's Garchomp will definitely not fare any better.

Zhang Muchu didn't expect the single-edged sword sheath to defeat Garchomp, after all, it was a Pokémon that had received a perfect score.

Her goal was simply to wear down some of Garchomp's health, but it seems she's about to exceed that goal!

"Paper Sword, replace the single-sword sheath!"

As Paper Sword appeared, Garchomp poked out half its head and looked at Paper Sword and Zhang Muchu without any politeness, then threw a single sword sheath at Paper Sword, hitting it.

[Ding! Garchomp has learned the skill Throw... Hmm? I forgot he can't learn it. Learning failed. Please, make Garchomp more legitimate.]

But Garchomp had no intention of following the law; he just wanted to beat the guys in front of him to a pulp.

This single sword sheath, following the frog to beat you up, isn't a good person.

I don't like looking at this beautiful woman. She's so affectionate with the frog, unlike the dog's owner who's always on her side.

As for that paper sword... well, it deserves to be beaten!

Garchomp tore off a few scales and stuffed one into its mouth.

With its mouth open, a torrent of flames erupted, shooting straight at the paper sword.

Paper Sword was startled. How could this fish breathe fire?

It quickly took flight, dodging Garchomp's flame-breathing attack.

However, Garchomp's flames continued relentlessly, relentlessly chasing after Katana.

Although Paper Sword has an imposing sash, it doesn't have the confidence to defeat Garchomp instantly, so it can only dodge in the air while using its sword dance skill.

The plan is to wait until Garchomp's fire power is exhausted, and then seize the opportunity to kill the "low-health" Garchomp.

"Single sword sheath, well done. Hold out until the flames burn out, then deliver the fatal blow!"

Garchomp kept munching, its little eyes filled with disdain.

Do you want to wait until the flames of labor and management burn out?

Okay, let's wait until next year!

(I'm writing less today because I have no choice, as I was very busy and uncomfortable yesterday because of what happened.)

The reason I'm posting this isn't for the full attendance bonus, which is 4,000. It's just to give everyone an explanation.

When I was writing the chapter about perpetual motion machines yesterday, I didn't finish a chapter until last night.

I won't go into the reasons, but everyone probably has their own guesses, and you're right.

Learn from past mistakes. Everyone must take precautions when traveling, as this is truly painful, feeling like countless diseases are converging on you at once.

That's all for now. If there are few contact tracing calls tomorrow and I'm feeling alright, I'll resume updates.

I was deeply moved by everyone's comments yesterday. Thank you so much, readers!

Chapter 122 Approaching the Championship (Thanks to Zha Zha and admirer Milk Tea, and thanks to Wan Shi Xie Xing Capsules)

Garchomp spread its arms out, flames spewing from its mouth, half its body hidden underground, like a fire demon emerging from hell.

Paper Sword used every trick in the book to dodge the attacks of the Sharp-Toothed Shark, leaving no time for sword dance.

However, Shimikaze was not in a hurry at all. He looked disheveled in the sky, but he had only used up some energy. But Garchomp had really put in a lot of effort!

Zhang Muchu watched the paper sword intently, observing its condition.

If Garchomp shows even the slightest sign of giving up, it will immediately be met with a barrage of attacks from Kami-no-Tsurugi!

Thirty minutes passed, and the paper sword's movements slowed down but it was still persisting. Zhang Muchu's eyes were also a little sore.

Nearly an hour had passed, and Paper Sword was so exhausted that it was about to collapse, but it dared not stop.

Once he stops, Garchomp can attack him by shaking its head!

Garchomp was a little dizzy from shaking. After pausing for a short while, it took out its small gourd and poured a mouthful into its mouth.

After finishing its drink, Garchomp squinted its small eyes and let out a satisfied "ha".

As expected of a wine with frog bubbles, it's really refreshing!

Seeing that Zhi Yujian didn't react, he even stuffed two peanuts into his stomach.

One of the peanuts was oddly shaped, resembling a dragon scale.

Zhang Muchu and Zhiyujian were of one mind. Zhang Muchu made a sword incantation and instructed Zhiyujian to go up and test the waters.

Paper Sword approached Garchomp by traversing a complex route, while simultaneously probing with its Leaf Blade.

"Roar!"

Seeing the flying blades, Garchomp did not flinch.

With a single opening of its mouth, a raging fire reignited, burning the flying leaf blade to ashes while simultaneously forcing the paper sword back.

"Is there still fire?" This was the thought in almost everyone's mind.

The water vendor, thinking the battle was about to end, had already started packing up the drinks from her cart.

Before they could even finish cleaning up, the fire-breathing sprite started breathing fire again.

The aunt was overjoyed and immediately stopped what she was doing to make a phone call: "Old man, the freshman competition at Jida University is probably going to go on until very late. Can you bring a truckload of bread over?"

"Yes, yes, this year we need better quality food. I heard from the referee that this year's students hold grudges, so we shouldn't give them diarrhea."

......

Flames continued to erupt, making the entire arena incredibly hot, and the ground was already cracking.

Originally, many people had gathered around the ring to watch closely, but as the temperature rose, no one on either side could continue.

Both Zhi Yujian and Zhang Muchu were exhausted, both physically and mentally; their fighting style was extremely mentally taxing.

Seeing that Paper Sword was already exhausted, Shang Qiu gave a wink to Sharp Fang Land Shark.

"Galactus, don't push yourself too hard, it'll hurt you!"

The implication is that Garchomp should create an opening.

Garchomp understood Shang Qiu's meaning, stopped the flames in its mouth, looked helpless, and started performing the Dragon Dance on the spot.

Seeing Garchomp's expression, Shang Qiu understood that Garchomp had grasped his meaning.

He was secretly delighted, but he didn't show it. Instead, he continued to look at the field with a serious expression.

It's not that I like autumn dirt, but there's no other way.

Although Garchomp is powerful, it has hardly been trained, making it virtually impossible for it to hit the agile Katana with ranged attacks.

This was the only option left, to make Zhang Muchu believe that the Fanged Land Shark was on the verge of being defeated, thus prompting Paper Sword to consider getting close.

Sure enough, Zhang Muchu, combining the fact that Garchomp had just taken an earthquake underground, deduced that Garchomp was completely out of shape.

With a flick of his finger, the paper sword flew towards the fanged shark like a sharp blade.

Garchomp cooperated by making a fearful expression and shrinking its body further towards the ground, but the ground was too hard to shrink in. Garchomp then made an even more fearful expression.

Shang Qiu: "..."

Aside from his lack of training skills, Garchomp is truly an all-rounder, practically an Oscar-worthy actor...

The others shook their heads at Garchomp's performance.

"It's a pity that Shang Qiu didn't command this Garchomp, which has such strong potential."

"Yes, that earthquake was a real blunder. It was a shame to waste such a gifted Garchomp."

"Yes, this is the first time I've ever seen a Pokémon that can use Flamethrower for such a long time. It's a pity it doesn't have a skilled master to command it."

Shang Qiu curled her lip, ignoring the trolls.

The trolls are on the 18th floor underground, while Shang Qiu is in the atmosphere; even if I explained it to them, they wouldn't understand.

At this moment, the Paper Sword was already close to the Fanged Land Shark, and Zhang Muchu's eyes did not relax for a moment.

Even now, she didn't hold out any hope of victory, because she felt that Shang Qiu wasn't stupid and wouldn't have such an obvious flaw.

But this was almost her only chance. No one could guarantee that once the distance was created, Garchomp would still unleash a burst of flame and instantly kill Katana.

Instead of gambling on when you'll lose, why not get close now and take a gamble on whether you can win!

Anyway, with its imposing aura, the Paper Mage has at least two opportunities to attack, while Garchomp should only have one.
