Pokémon: Legendary Pokémon Simulator, Starting with Arceus

"Hera (¯͒¯͒)!"

"Ugh (￣︶￣)~"

Heracross enters with a natural smile, while Serperior gracefully glides into the center of the field.

They look harmless, so they probably aren't very strong.

Momo was misled by the beady eyes and the new trainer, and with a wave of her arm, shouted, "Serperioth! Use Leaf Blade!"

A large green blade appeared on the tail of the Monarch Serpent, which slid rapidly along the ground to approach.

Dual swords? That hidden trait is most likely "Contrarian," are you underestimating me...?

Xiong Meng narrowed his eyes, and as the Serpent Lord's greatsword was raised high to strike, he shouted, "Heracross! Block with a Brick Break!"

bump!!!

The tail collided with the white-glowing arm, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Before Xiao Tao could react, Xiong Meng's voice rang out again: "Splitter the tile and hit them back!"

"Hera!"

"bump!"

With a thud, a figure flew out of the dust.

"Monarch Serpent!!!"

However, Serperior is also an elite veteran. It adjusted its posture in mid-air and landed smoothly without causing secondary damage.

However, the marks on their bodies were quite obvious, and Xiaotao and the Serpent Lord's eyes were no longer as relaxed as before.

"Serpent Lord! Leaf Storm!"

Leaf Storm: Creates a storm with sharp leaves towards the opponent. After use, the user's Special Attack is greatly reduced due to the recoil.

"Ugh!!!"

The Serpent Lord's body sprouted numerous leaves, and it headed straight for Heracross.

At the same time, a white light flashed across his body, and his special attack increased!

"Use the impact to dodge, then use the Swallow Return attack!"

Heracross used his thigh to leap to the right before the attack arrived, dodging and creating distance at the same time.

Before it even landed, it flapped its wings to change direction, its body enveloped in white light, and charged straight at the Serpent Lord.

"bump!!"

There was no way to dodge when the skill was used; it would hit directly and interrupt the skill, and the leaf that had followed behind disappeared.

"Woo~"

The Serpent Lord couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, but still used its speed advantage to quickly get away.

Xiong Meng did not allow Heracles to pursue, and remained silent with his arms crossed.

Looking at the panting Serpent Lord, Xiaotao's expression turned serious.

There's no time to pay attention to the live stream; we need to think of a solution now.

"Good heavens, what happened in those last ten seconds?"

"A rookie trainer? You must be kidding me!"

"A calm approach and quick reflexes, completely unlike a rookie trainer."

"This Heracross is no ordinary beast; it can keep up with Serperior's reactions, so it's at least elite-level!"

"Well, so you're pretending to be weak to take advantage of others, huh?!"

The viewers in the live stream were also stunned; they thought it was an evenly matched contest, not a complete rout.

It's a complete rout now, but the opponent is completely dominating.

"Serpent Lord, use Grassy Terrain!"

Grassy Terrain: Transforms the area into a grassy terrain for 5 turns. Ground-based Pokémon recover health each turn. Grass-type moves also gain increased power.

"Waaaaah!!"

The green orb of light converged on its tail, slammed into the ground, and began to grow grass wildly, instantly covering the entire field.

When Serperior used Grassy Terrain, Xiong Meng didn't hesitate.

"Playing support, huh! Heracross, use Sword Dance!"

The white light appeared and then returned to the body, and the skill level was extremely high. In the time it took for Serperior to use one skill, it used it twice.

Heracross always remembered his trainer's words: when it comes to buffing status effects, just use them to the maximum whenever possible.

Reality isn't a game; there's no such thing as turn-based combat.

Xiao Tao's face turned green when she saw this. "You're doing this twice, huh? Is this how you play games?"

But she knew it was reasonable, and now she could only try to come up with a solution as soon as possible, but she couldn't fight in close combat, and her ranged Leaf Storm couldn't hit her.

She had one skill in her skill bar, and the other person had one... They were practically identical, but she felt like she was facing an elite assessment...

While racking her brains, Xiao Tao's eyes lit up: "I've got it!"

"Serpent Lord! Use Leaf Storm!"

The Serpent Lord was puzzled; why use it when it clearly couldn't hit anything?

"Ugh!!!"

But Serperior trusted its trainer, and the green leaf charged at Heracross once again.

"Just like before, dodge and use Swallow Return!"

Using the same tactic as before, Serperior's skills simply couldn't keep up.

"What's going on? What is Xiaotao doing?"

"They probably want to add special attack; isn't there still one skill slot left?"

"I don't know, I don't understand, just watch and see."

The viewers in the live stream were also puzzled until Heracross was about to get close.

"Stop the leaf storm! Use Leaf Blade!"

"Use the Super Corner Attack!"

The Serpent Monarch reacted quickly, but Xiong Meng's command came instantly as well.

The white light on Heracross's body disappeared, and he reappeared on the horn, still incredibly fast. The two collided.

One is a temporary change for a non-power-type Pokémon, and the other is a power-type Pokémon with a speed boost from Swords Dance.

The result is already obvious...

"Bang! Bang!!!"

The Serpent didn't even have three seconds to defend itself before being hit by the large horn, and its eyes floated up like mosquito coils after it landed.

"beep!!!!"

"Battle over! Gym Leader, please decide whether to award the badge, and provide a reasonable explanation!"

The referee blew the whistle immediately after Serperior lost consciousness, which Momo found hard to believe.

"Huh? It failed?"

"Wait, isn't this guy a rookie trainer? How come he's so strong?"

"Everyone! I've found out. He's the son of Xiong Biao, the former dojo master."

"I see, then it's not surprising."

"No surprise, Ball! My dad's a gym leader too, how come I can't beat a near-elite?"

"Because you're bad! Bad! So practice more!"

"Hahaha, that's hilarious!"

Just as everyone was discussing, Xiong Meng's voice came: "Shouldn't we recall the spirit first?"

"Ah! I'm sorry..."

Xiaotao realized what was happening and quickly put the Serperior back into its Poké Ball.

Seeing that the other party had put away their Pokémon, Xiong Meng slowly said, "Your strength is quite good. You can adapt quickly and flexibly when there is basically no other way."

"but!!"

The sudden pause and the precise increase in volume made Xiao Tao instantly nervous, and she even spoke less in the live stream.

"I let my guard down at the beginning because I didn't know my opponent's strength. The first time, I even froze and didn't create distance in time. I knew he was a power-type opponent, but I still fought him in close combat!"

"Which of these factors can't determine the outcome of a battle?"

The problem was stated in a serious tone, and Xiao Tao could almost hear the tone of disappointment and frustration, which instinctively made her feel scared.

This made her instinctively straighten her posture, head held high and chest out, and say, "Yes!!!"

This completely baffled Xiong Meng; why did he suddenly stand at attention?

I just turned on the super-powered mode because I was afraid the other person wouldn't hear me, how did it turn out like this?

Unseen by Xiong Meng, the "Super Counter" indicator on the system panel was flashing, and the word "Intimidate" within the small frame was also flashing...

"Ahem, although we lost the battle, we still had many commendable aspects, so we can earn the Tosho Fighting Badge!"

Seeing that Xiong Meng had confirmed it, the referee announced it again.

"The result is confirmed, and the challenger will receive a badge! If you are dissatisfied with the result, you can apply for a second review!"

Hearing the result, Xiao Tao didn't relax; she still stood at attention and said, "Yes! Thank you for your guidance!"

Seeing the girl like this, Xiong Meng didn't know what to do. He could only go back to his room first. Xiao Tao only relaxed after she left and glanced at the comments section.

"That scared me...it felt like the person on the other end was a teacher..."

"Same here. I thought I'd run into my old man, the one with the Seven Wolves cigarettes."

"Agreed, but this guy's strength is absolute, and he's also quite good at teaching."

"Yes, that hits the nail on the head. I feel that Xiaotao's revisions would improve things a lot, especially the second and third points."

"Yes, the outcome is decided in just a few moves when the players are evenly matched. Being careful will greatly increase your chances of winning."

Looking at the constantly scrolling comments, Xiao Tao felt that there was something else worth seeing.

"Referee, where is the dojo's treatment center?"

"Turn right after you go out, and you'll see it in a couple of steps."

Using the excuse of asking for directions, Xiaotao brought the referee over, revealing her true purpose: "Referee, can I come and film later?"

Faced with the girl's cute act, Uncle Li smiled slightly: "It's fine normally, but now you'll have to ask the master."

"Alakazam, Teleport!"

Several people suddenly appeared in the corridor, and Xiong Meng looked at them with suspicion.

Didn't we already say that the badges aren't something you can get from me?

"That's how it is..."

Li Song explained the situation clearly, and Xiao Tao cooperated by putting on a pleading expression.

Xiong Meng nodded: "Okay, as long as you don't take things out of context."

"Yay! Thank you, young man and referee!"

Uncle Li waved his hand, indicating it was no big deal: "Then I'll take you to the treatment center first."
