"Boy!"

【It's up to you!】

Eevee promptly threw the Poké Ball back. Let whoever wants to be a trainer be one!

Chapter 319 Battle Against the Competitive Hairy Crab

After Blastoise, Lin Xuan encountered many Pokémon. The only thing to be thankful for was that they were all relatively "normal" and attacked him immediately upon seeing him... So is that normal?

However, Lin Xuan still felt that Blastoise was a bit too lazy. Compared to it, the other Pokémon Lin Xuan encountered were all normal.

After dealing with the remaining Pokémon, Lin Xuan, who had worked hard all day, finally returned to his room at the Pokémon Center in Iceborne Town.

Two more days passed quickly. With Bai Yao's help, the situation on the ice plains was indeed greatly alleviated. After all, in some ways, Bai Yao was even more efficient than Lin Xuan.

That guy just attacks any Pokémon he sees, and his efficiency is incredibly high. On the first day, he caught nearly twice as many Pokémon as Lin Xuan...

However, there should be another reason, which is that Pidgeot flies faster than Gyarados.

Meanwhile, in the restaurant at the Pokémon Center, Bai Yao and Lin Xuan were eating. Their little Eevee was picking at its potato chips while watching the TV hanging on the wall not far away.

The TV was showing what seemed to be the latest sci-fi drama, which the two little ones seemed to enjoy watching, saying it was much better than those trashy cartoons. Lin Xuan didn't know much about these things, so she chose to chat with Bai Yao instead.

"Finally, it's vacation time!"

Bai Yao stretched as if to relax, and it was only at this moment that Lin Xuan realized that Bai Yao's figure was not as rigid as he had imagined. It was just that the dojo uniform was relatively loose, so it was not obvious when she wore it.

As for the holiday, it was because Changming saw that they had worked too hard these past few days, and the situation at the Ice Lake had improved significantly. The number of Pokémon that could be encountered in the past two days was decreasing at a visible rate.

If nothing unexpected happens, according to Chang Ming's previous predictions, the problem here should be completely resolved soon, and then the Linxia store team will be able to return to Jinhui City.

No, Lin Xuan might not be able to go back yet, since his wave guide power seems to be in a bottleneck period.

However, the Pokémon captured by Lin Xuan and Bai Yao probably account for one-third of the entire Icefield.

Lin Xuan only glanced at Bai Yao before continuing to eat. After all, nothing was more important than eating. But throughout the meal, Lin Xuan's eyes were enveloped by a special energy.

If there were other waveguide users sitting opposite Lin Xuan at this moment, in Bai Yao's position, they would definitely notice that the waveguide power within him was being mobilized.

Lin Xuan also discovered another advantage of the power of waveguide, which is... when this thing is attached to the eyes, it seems to enhance eyesight?

No wonder Luo Guan said before that the power of wave guidance is a powerful force that is in no way inferior to superpowers. Even these very basic uses can benefit Lin Xuan a lot.

Putting aside other things, Lin Xuan is better able to capture the battle states of Little Point and Gallade in this state. You have to understand that after Pokémon become powerful, what often limits trainers is not their battle experience, but the weak human body. Even the most ordinary movements cannot be captured by the eyes.

If you can't even see the movements clearly, then there's no point in talking about anything else.

Hey! What are you looking at?

Seeing Lin Xuan looking somewhat lost in thought, Bai Yao reached out and waved her hand in front of him.

"Oh it's all right."

Lin Xuan only came to her senses after Bai Yao called her back, and the wave power in her eyes was also withdrawn.

This can also be considered a way to practice waveguide power. Only by getting used to using it in daily life can you better master it.

Lin Xuan has indeed made some progress in his aura power recently, but how should I put it... it's like it's passive. It doesn't work when Lin Xuan trains on his own; he only gets a reaction when he's outside and frozen.

There was some training, but the results weren't as good as expected.

Should we really do as the teacher says and take a bath in the frozen lake?

And it was at this moment that Bai Yao spoke up again.

"We finally have a holiday, shall we go and relax?"

After saying that, he gave Lin Xuan a mysterious look, and Lin Xuan immediately had a bad feeling.

"How...how do I relax?"

Lin Xuan's face showed a somewhat wary expression, but Bai Yao simply got up and pulled Lin Xuan away. When Lin Xuan left, she could only take the two little ones who were engrossed in watching TV with her.

"Dandan!"

I haven't finished watching it yet!!!

ten minutes later

Lin Xuan looked at the battlefield in front of him and Bai Yao standing not far away on the opposite side, and fell into deep thought. Sure enough, Bai Yao's thought process could not be understood with normal thinking.

"This is what you mean by relaxation?"

“Yeah, having a fight is so relaxing, isn’t it?” Bai Yao said matter-of-factly.

"Are you really relaxing by fighting me, or by beating me up?"

Lin Xuan expressed doubt about what Bai Yao had just said, while Bai Yao quickly waved the Poké Ball in her hand at Lin Xuan and explained:

"Didn't you just catch a Gyarados a couple of days ago? What a coincidence, I just caught a new Pokémon too. Their strength should be about the same, so we can give them a try. It'll all depend on the trainer's command skills."

Bai Yao said with a proud look on her face, as if she felt that victory was in her grasp.

When did you capture the Pokémon?

Lin Xuan was taken aback for a moment before asking, "Although you can take the Pokémon you capture at the Ice Lake with you, you still need to register them. I don't remember Bai Yao taking any Pokémon with him these past two days. He's basically handed them over to the League, since they're mostly Water-type Pokémon and he doesn't need them."

Aside from a few legendary Pokémon, the only Water/Fighting type Pokémon are Poliwag, Carnival Duck and Tauros from the Padia region. The latter two are rarely seen in China, and are basically only found in the Padia region. Even among the starter Pokémon, they are considered relatively rare.

"Of course, it was in Jinhui City. I also recruited a pretty good guy there, who was quite to my liking."

As she spoke, Bai Yao threw out the Poké Ball in her hand, and soon a huge Pokémon appeared in front of Lin Xuan.

"A competitive hairy crab?"

Lin Xuan almost forgot that only Water-type Pokémon can live in the frozen lake, and many Ice-type Pokémon can live there as well, such as this Crab of the Peaks.

Crab is probably not a very popular type of Fighting-type Pokémon, because its only advantage is its strength.

Aside from that, only its stamina is passable; everything else is rather weak, which is a disadvantage for most Fighting-type Pokémon that need to engage in close combat.

And another point is equally important... that is, this guy is an ice-type!

As everyone knows, it has the worst attribute, and besides Ice, only Bug can barely compete with it.

"Are we really going to have a match? I feel like this way of relaxing is a little..."

Lin Xuan's lips twitched, but despite saying that, she still took out Gyarados's Poké Ball.

After all, Senior Sister Bai Yao had just said that, so if he didn't accept the challenge, it would seem a bit cowardly. Besides, Lin Xuan didn't think his Gyarados would lose to that competitive Krabby.

Lin Xuan could roughly judge Bai Yao's strength as soon as he appeared. He was indeed similar to Gyarados, both belonging to the two-star level. However, this guy's pincers seemed to be thicker than those of ordinary competitive crabs.

It's not just its fists, but also its arms, which means that this competitive hairy crab is incredibly powerful. No wonder Senior Sister Bai Yao chose to capture this Pokémon.

"Of course, stop with the nonsense and let's get started!"

Bai Yao twisted her neck and said excitedly, "If you didn't know, you'd probably think I was going to go straight into the ring and have a real-life fight with Lin Xuan."

After hearing Bai Yao's words, Lin Xuan didn't hesitate any longer and threw out Gyarados's Poké Ball. Instantly, a Gyarados, which was even larger than Crabcracker, appeared between the two of them.

This wasn't the first time Bai Yao had seen Lin Xuan's Gyarados, so she wasn't surprised.

Since they had just rented a venue, there were no referees, but the two of them gave their orders at the same time in perfect unison.

"Dragon Dance!"

"Thunder Fist!"

Just as Gyarados was about to dance, the competitive crab charged towards him with its huge fists. It was then that Lin Xuan realized that this competitive crab was not only thick in its arms, but also in its lower limbs, which were much thicker and stronger than those of a normal competitive crab.

Seeing the look in Lin Xuan's eyes, Bai Yao knew Lin Xuan had realized something, and chuckled, saying with a touch of pride:

"The reason I value this guy is simple. Not only is he born with superhuman strength, but he is also quite fast. Although he is limited by his own race, he has definitely reached the pinnacle of the competitive hairy crab race."

"This is a bit troublesome~" Lin Xuan's lips twitched, but her command showed no sign of panic, "Bounce!"

Gyarados's Dragon Dance was forced to stop. It slammed its tail heavily on the ground and immediately leaped into the air. The movement was fluid and skillful, after all, this was the only Flying-type move that Gyarados, this Flying-type Pokémon, knew and could use...

Lin Xuan also observed that when using the Thunder Fist, not only did lightning flash across the fist of this victorious hairy crab, but it also had a faint metallic sheen.

This color change is inconspicuous under a lot of electric light, but Lin Xuan is able to detect it with keen sensitivity, thanks to the use of waveguide technology.

Lin Xuan could roughly guess that this Victorious Crab had the Iron Fist ability. With its already powerful strength combined with the Iron Fist ability, Gyarados would likely suffer serious damage from this Thunder Punch, so it had to dodge.

After Gyarados jumped, Crab's Thunder Punch naturally only hit the air, and then, as if it couldn't control its force, it slammed into the ground of the battlefield, creating a small crater.

"Ok?"

Lin Xuan raised her eyebrows slightly. From those subtle movements, Lin Xuan seemed to have discovered the weakness of this valiant hairy crab.

The power of this victorious hairy crab is indeed very strong, but the side effect it brings is... it seems impossible to fully control.

Lin Xuan was very familiar with this kind of thing. After all, Xiao Dian at the beginning was also unable to master his own electric current. He might lose control if he used a slightly more powerful skill.

This is normal for wild Pokémon, because their training usually relies on instinct and they haven't received formal training. If Bai Yao were given some time, the competitive Crab would be able to fully master its power.

After all, his problem is different from Little Spot's. Little Spot's problem lies in his special genes, while the competitive hairy crab's problem is not so complicated.

However, such a short time was clearly not enough for Bai Yao to properly train the competitive hairy crab.

"It seems that this victorious hairy crab can't control its power very well yet?"

Lin Xuan glanced at Bai Yao and then said casually.

"Yes, it will take some more time."
