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

Chapter 17, imbued with the spirit of a martial artist, involves bowing before each battle.

……

The slow-moving Stone Golems were all defeated by Riolu. Even though they were numerous, they couldn't take advantage of their numbers and all of them fell down, becoming Riolu's experience.

"Well done, you dog!!"

"Leo~!!"

Qin Ming and Riolu gave each other a high five, and then Qin Ming took out a pale yellow fruit: "Eating this wild apple will effectively help you restore your energy."

Although Riolu used its speed advantage to frequently pull its opponent during the battle and did not lose much stamina, it still consumed a lot of energy.

Stamina is equivalent to a Pokémon's health.

Being attacked will reduce the Pokémon's stamina, and when the stamina is exhausted, the Pokémon will fall.

Energy, equivalent to an elf's mana.

Releasing skills requires energy. When the energy is depleted, skills cannot be used. At the same time, the depletion of energy will also cause the spirit to suffer a series of negative statuses such as exhaustion, making it impossible to continue fighting.

High-quality berries can effectively help Pokémon quickly recover their stamina and energy. Furthermore, because berries are cheaper than medicines produced in the Pokémon world and can be stored for a longer period of time, they are highly sought after by trainers.

Basically, every trainer carries some Orange Berry to restore stamina, Apple Berry to restore energy, and berries to relieve a series of negative conditions such as poisoning, paralysis, and burns in their backpack.

"Leo~!!"

After eating the Apple Berry, Riolu had a faint glow emanating from its body, which was a sign that the berry was taking effect. At the same time, Riolu waved its right hand to show that it was full of energy.

“Leave some refined iron for these stone pellets.”

Qin Ming placed two finger-sized pieces of refined iron next to the stone ball. Just as he was about to leave with Riolu, a rustling sound came from not far away.

"Leo~!!!"

Riolu, which possesses a waveguide within its body, seemed to sense a threat and immediately emitted a warning cry.

"Um?!"

Qin Ming quickly turned around and looked in the direction Riolu was pointing.

Not far away, an elf emerged, standing only 0.8 meters tall and resembling a human child.

This elf is entirely gray, with red pupils and black eye sockets, and three tile-like objects on its head.

Its hands have five fingers, its feet have no toes, and it also has a short tail.

This Pokémon is Machop, a Fighting-type Pokémon.

……

Although the surrounding terrain is mainly mountainous, the Pokémon living here are not necessarily all Rock or Ground-type Pokémon; there are also many Pokémon of different types.

Especially for arm strength, Geodude and Stone Balls are the perfect dumbbells.

Therefore, in the wild, trainers often see Armstrong using Geodude and Rock Ball as dumbbells to exercise.

Qin Ming remained wary of the sudden increase in wrist strength.

"Wrist~!!"

However, unlike the grumpy Rockball, Machop is much more docile, constantly barking and calling out to Riolu.

"Wrist~!!"

"Wrist~!!"

"Wrist~!!"

Although he didn't understand Elvish, Qin Ming could roughly guess the meaning of Machop from its form.

Wrist Power is challenging Riolu.

Riolu just defeated five Grubbers in a row, which shows that Riolu's strength is extraordinary in Machop's eyes.

Machop, like other Fighting-type Pokémon, dares to challenge stronger opponents.

"Leo~!!"

"Leo~!!"

Both being Fighting-type Pokémon, Riolu is also a Pokémon that enjoys accepting challenges. However, Riolu obediently looked at its trainer, Qin Ming, and waited for his instructions.

Having just dealt with five stone balls, and with the replenishment of apples, I won't be able to recover to my full strength anytime soon.

Moreover, the arm wrestler on the other side is of a very high level!

Reach level 18!

It's a full 6 levels higher than Riolu, which is a significant difference.

If a fight really breaks out, this is definitely a losing situation.

After calculating, Qin Ming instinctively wanted to refuse.

However, facing Riolu's red eyes that yearn for battle, refusing to challenge it might dampen Riolu's spirits.

Moreover, even if Qin Ming refuses, Wan Li might not agree.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming quickly took out an Apple Berry from his backpack and handed it to Riolu: "Get ready for battle!!"

"Leo~!!!"

Riolu quickly stuffed the apple into its mouth, chewed and swallowed rapidly, and immediately assumed a fighting stance.

"Wrist~!!"

"Wrist~!!"

On the other side, the wrist-strength performer bowed slightly with a samurai-like spirit, then shouted loudly and quickly ran to launch an attack.

Riolu and Machop are both Fighting-type Pokémon in their initial form, but Machop has a higher base stat total of 305.

With a base HP stat of 70, an Attack stat of 80, and a Defense stat of 50, these three stats are outstanding compared to ordinary starter Pokémon.

It has high HP, high attack, and its defense isn't too bad either.

It is these remarkable abilities, coupled with the elemental advantage, that allow Armwyn to use tough, hard stones like Geodude and Stone Ball as dumbbells.

Compared to Machop, Riolu's base stats are a bit lower, at only 285.

Riolu's base stats in HP, Attack, and Defense are all slightly inferior to Machop, but it is more agile in Speed.

Faced with the impact of the wrist strike, Qin Ming decisively chose to pull away to avoid it: "Dog, use Lightning Flash to get to the opponent's right side, and then use Cross Chop to attack."

"Leo~!!!"

Riolu crackled with electricity, instantly boosting its speed to maximum, and deftly dodged the impact of the wrist strike.

They then immediately followed Qin Ming's instructions and launched an attack.

"Wrist~!!"

"Wrist~!!"

Unlike the clumsy Stone Ball, Arm Power's attack failed, so it quickly stopped and turned around to use a low kick to meet Riolu.

Cross chop vs. lower body kick.

Riolu's palm struck Machop, and Machop's leg also hit Riolu. The two exchanged moves, and while both landed hits, they were also knocked back by their opponent's attack.

The biggest fear in the early stages of a new book is readers "holding" it for a while. Without data, the author loses motivation and can easily become discouraged and quit writing. If possible, I hope everyone can continue reading, give me monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, etc., to help me keep writing. Thank you all!
