It's perfectly reasonable for me, a fisherman, to catch a Georgios, right?

After all, the fish-like Pokémon on the shore didn't have much fighting power. They were completely dominated and beaten by Riolu. One-sided beatings don't count as a proper battle.

As Riolu assumed a defensive stance, Geodude, which had buried its body in the ground, sensed the fighting spirit and turned around to assume a fighting stance as well.

Geodude is not a docile Pokémon; it's a typical grumpy and stubborn creature.

Perhaps it was their excellent defensive capabilities that made them so fearless.

"Fist!!"

Geodude takes the initiative, bringing his hands together to his body and using a rolling attack.

[Rolling: Continuously rolls to attack the opponent; the power increases with each successful hit.]

While many Rock-type Pokémon can learn the Rollout move, it is particularly well-suited for Geodude Pokémon.

Rolling the body into a circle not only avoids the disadvantage of being slow, but also allows for continuous and enhanced attacks.

Qin Ming's eyes narrowed, and he issued the command: "Dog, don't panic!!"

"Unleash a cross slash to meet the enemy!!"

[Cross Chop: Attacking the opponent by striking with both hands in a cross shape is likely to hit vital points.]

"Leo~!!"

Riolu braced itself with both hands and launched a direct attack on the rolling Geodude.

The battle has just begun, and this kind of direct collision is exactly what Riolu needs to feel the intensity of the fight.

boom! !

The two elves collided, making a sound.

Because of the reaction force, the small stone slowed down its rolling speed.

On the other hand, Riolu also staggered back a few steps due to the collision with its opponent.

Geodude is stronger than Riolu.

Geodude has a base Attack stat of 80, which ranks among the top in low-level, unevolved Pokémon.

Riolu's Attack stat is 10 points lower than Geodude's.

At the same time, both sides suffered varying degrees of damage due to the other's skills.

Fighting-type moves are extremely effective against Geodude, and Geodude's Defense stat is as high as 100, which can mitigate some of the damage.

On the other hand, Riolu's Defense stat is only 40, which is not as good as Geodude in terms of defense.

The damage sustained by both sides in the collision was actually about the same.

"Fist!!"

Unable to achieve his first goal, Little Stone continued to hug his body and began rolling around to launch an attack.

This time, Riolu had already experienced the intensity of the battle, so there was no need to confront the opponent head-on again. Qin Ming chose to avoid the opponent's sharp edge: "Dog, use Quick Attack to dodge when the opponent gets close!"

[A flash of lightning: Approaching the opponent with lightning speed, ensuring a preemptive strike.]

In the game, Flash of Lightning is a skill with a priority of +1, but its power is relatively low, which limits its usability. It is mostly used to finish off low-health enemies.

Secondly, since the sprites in the game can only be equipped with 4 skills, very few people will configure this skill, thus rendering it a useless skill.

However, in real-world games that don't use turn-based combat, the skill "Lightning Flash" has gone from being a useless skill to a god-tier skill.

This skill can greatly increase the speed of a spirit, and can be used to dodge or connect to combos.

"Leo~!!"

Just as Geodude was about to reach him, Riolu's body crackled with electricity, instantly boosting its speed to maximum. It nimbly dodged to the left, avoiding Geodude's attack.

Although Geodude compensates for its slow speed by rolling, it is also unable to control its own movement because of rolling. Even if its opponent has disappeared from its sight, it cannot stop rolling.

Bang!

The little geomancy rock, like a heavy bowling ball, crashed into a one-meter-wide rock.

The impact of the small stone caused spiderweb-like cracks to appear on its surface, and the collision of stones also made the small stone dizzy.

"It's now!"

Qin Ming seized the opportunity during the battle and issued the command: "Dog, use the Cross Slash attack on Geodude!!"

"Leo~!!!"

Riolu roared and launched an attack on the dazed Geodude with both palms as sharp as knives.

boom!

This attack landed squarely on Little Geodude.

"Keep going, don't give the opponent a chance to counterattack!!"

Following Qin Ming's command, Riolu quickly struck out with its palm.

"Fist!!"

Finally, Geodude let out a wail, exhausted and collapsed.

A system notification sounded in Qin Ming's mind indicating that he had gained experience.

[Hint: You, Riolu, have defeated Geodude and gained 200 experience points.]

"Leo~!!!"

After a successful first battle, Riolu's face was filled with joy and confidence.

"Well done, you dog!"

Qin Ming happily high-fived Riolu. This was Riolu's first battle, and also his first time commanding a trainer since becoming a trainer.

Although there are still many areas for improvement in this match, victory is always encouraging.

"Doggy, eat this orange."

Qin Ming took out a blue berry from his backpack and handed it to Riolu. The Orange Berry can slowly restore the Pokémon's depleted stamina and energy.

"How are you feeling? Can you continue fighting?"

"Leo~!!"

"Leo~!!"

Riolu took a bite of the orange berry, and the blue, sweet juice burst in its mouth. It quickly turned back to answer Qin Ming's question and said that it was full of energy and could easily handle even ten Geodude.

Yes, He's going to fight ten.

Qin Ming took out a piece of refined steel about the size of a thumb and placed it next to the little fist stone.

This was prepared in advance before entering the secret realm. Steel is something that most Rock-type Pokémon like to eat, and it was left for Geodude as payment for training with Riolu.

"Let's go then. While there's still time, let's find more opponents to fight!"

Qin Ming patted Riolu's head and took it to continue battling Geodude.

……

As the sun began to set in the west, the sky gradually darkened.

Qin Ming, along with the slightly excited Riolu, found a sheltered spot to set up a temporary camp and settled in.

"Leo~!!"

"Leo~!!"

Riolu was extremely excited because it was finally able to train in real combat.

Qin Ming focused his gaze on Riolu and activated his Eye of Detection.

……

After two hours of practical training this afternoon, Riolu successfully leveled up from level 11 to level 12, and thus learned a brand new skill.

Double the damage: Physical damage received from an opponent will be returned to the same opponent at twice the normal rate.

Looking at the excited Riolu, Qin Ming was filled with satisfaction. As long as Riolu continued to train and accumulate experience, it would soon grow into the Aura Warrior Lucario.
