Pokémon: The Zen Trainer

Little Lion stood on the arena, sparks flying from his mouth, bang!

A flame shot towards Bobo.

Hmm, the flame is moving very fast; it seems they've put in a lot of effort.

She tried to watch indifferently, but that didn't stop Bobo.

Bobo seemed to have sensed the attack of the flames long ago.

With an elegant arc, it dodged the flames and continued to climb upwards.

Because of the limited time, I could only teach a few simple movements based on Master Owl's ascension.

It's not complicated, but it's sufficient.

Huh? Taguchi was somewhat surprised, as he was quite confident in his little lion's potential.

It was dodged so easily.

"Little Lion uses Flame Vortex to trap Bobo!!"

"A vortex of fire."

"This little lion is pretty good; it even has such a skill."

"No wonder he was sent out as the starting lineup."

The surrounding crowd looked at the little lion and exclaimed in admiration.

Flames formed around the little lion and then rolled towards Bobo in the air.

"Goo!"

Bobo was forced to begin circling to avoid the vortex of fire.

"Big Wave, don't be afraid, use Wind Rush to push the flame vortex away."

"Gu!!"

With a flapping sound, Pidgey flapped its wings rapidly, creating a gust of wind in the arena.

The vortex of flames was pushed uncontrollably toward the little lion.

"Little Lion, hold on! Control your flame vortex and push it towards Bobo!!"

"Ouch!!!"

The red mane on the little lion's head began to glow a dazzling red.

The vortex of fire swayed rapidly from side to side on the arena.

He immediately issued instructions after observing the situation on the field.

"Bobo adjusts the wind direction to suppress the flame vortex."

"Popeye!! Popeye flapped its wings rapidly, and the vortex of fire pressed down lower and lower."

The vortex of flames was compressed into a pancake shape.

A tremendous amount of heat swirls at the bottom.

The little lion kept biting and injecting heat into the pancake-shaped vortex of flames.

Bian Xiang chuckled softly as he watched the little lion trying its best.

Although I tried very hard, I was going in the wrong direction.

The suppressed flame vortex began to tremble rapidly and erratically, and the ground was baked red-hot by the immense heat.

There was a loud bang!

The vortex of flames finally exploded directly on the ground.

Brilliant flames flew everywhere.

A howl escaped the little lion on the ground as it was propelled away by the massive heatwave.

Coo coo, Bobo wasn't having an easy time either, it got hit by flying sparks and swayed in the air for a few moments.

He managed to maintain his flight posture with difficulty.

"BoBo, Flash!"

"Goo!"

Bobo adjusted his posture in mid-air.

It swooped down towards the little lion on the ground.

"Little Lion bites."

"Ouch!!"

"Throw sand!!"

"Gu!!"

Bobo, who had just appeared in front of Little Lion, threw a mouthful of sand at Little Lion.

"Ouch~!!!"

The little lion shook its head and desperately spat out sand.

"One more Flash."

"Oh no, little lion flame!!"

Awooo! Sparks flew from the little lion's mouth, and then it spat out a mouthful of sand.

Bang! The little lion was knocked flying.

"Little Lion, use Flame Vortex to trap Bobo first!!"

"Ouch!!"

"Bo Bo throws sand."

The flame vortex had barely formed when it was covered in sand.

"Ouch!!!"

The little lion covered its eyes with its paws, and the vortex of flames dissipated.

Damn it, my mouth and eyes are full of sand.

"Awooo, awooo!!"

The little lion twisted its head and rolled around.

"Pop-Pop Flash!"

Bang! The little lion was knocked away again, landing on the side and lying motionless on the ground.

Come back, little lion!

Taguchi recalled the spirit and looked at it, lost in thought.

"You're very good! But you made a fatal mistake! Your mistake was forcing me to use my trump card!!"

"Come out!! Gravestone!!"

"rumble!!"

A giant stone sphere appeared in the arena.

A roguestone? This boy only has two badges?

This rumbling rock seems a little different from the usual ones.

Yellow mineral stones are embedded in the body of the rumbler, and iron rods stand upright on its arms.

"You're quite ignorant, aren't you? The Gravestones of the Alola region."

"Dual attributes: electrical and rock properties".

"Electric + Rock?"

"Isn't this the natural counter to flying types?"

"It's still in its evolved form. Today we can finally see the gym trainer's first defeat."

Taguchi looked at Bianxiang with a face full of confidence!

"Hehehe, who do you think I am? Did your victory just now make you too proud? But you should be proud of yourself for taking one win against me. From now on, I will be undefeated!"

"Rumble, lightning!!"

"rumble!!!"

Lightning crackled across the rumblestone's body!

Crack, crack, Rumblestone's entire body crackled with electricity.

Then it quickly rolled over, and with a bang, leaped high into the air.

"So tall!!"

"Big wave, fly up!!"
