In Locke, beast taming begins with a black pot.

"Has Zhao Yuxuan gone mad? Why did he choose Chen Xun, who also has 3 spirit slots?!"

"Chen Xun's Pokémon is a pot. Earth-type Pokémon are inherently weak offensively, and this one's a cooking utensil, so what kind of combat power could it possibly have?"

"That's true. Zhao Yuxuan's Water Blue is already level 2, and he's even learned how to use a water gun. He has a great chance of winning."

……

Hearing the surrounding whispers, Zhao Yuxuan's face was full of mockery: "Afraid to accept?"

"A genius with three spirit slots, surely he doesn't even have the courage to fight me?"

Chen Xun picked at his ear, looking nonchalant: "Fine, since you're in such a hurry to get yourself killed, I don't mind granting your wish."

"court death!"

Zhao Yuxuan roared and stepped onto the battle stage first.

He pulled out a blue ball and threw it out with a bang: "Come out, Water Blue!"

A flash of blue light, and Shui Lanlan appeared on the stage, staring warily at the small black pot opposite her.

Chen Xun strolled leisurely onto the stage and casually tossed out the Gulu Ball.

With a flash of black light, the small black pot landed steadily on the ground, its lid tightly closed, looking completely harmless.

"Battle begins!"

The referee gave the whistle.

"Shui Lanlan, water gun!"

Zhao Yuxuan was the first to attack, his voice carrying a hint of ferocity.

Shui Lanlan opened her mouth, and a thick jet of water shot out towards the small black pot, accompanied by a whistling sound.

Everyone held their breath.

If this blow lands, even a rock will be shattered!

"It's over, Chen Xun is going to lose!"

"How can a pot stop a water gun?"

"As expected, elves are useless no matter how high their talent is."

Just as the water jet was about to hit the small black pot.

"Little black pot, lid for defense!"

Chen Xun remained completely calm.

The small black pot suddenly spun around, and the lid was firmly pressed onto the rim of the pot.

boom!

The water jet slammed hard against the pot lid, making a dull thud.

Water splashed everywhere, soaking the entire battle arena.

The splashes subsided.

The little black pot remained firmly in place, without moving an inch.

There wasn't even a scratch on the pot lid.

The entire audience: "..."

"Holy crap! It's that hard?"

"What kind of iron pot is this?"

"The light blue water gun didn't even leave a mark?"

……

Zhao Yuxuan's expression changed instantly: "Shui Lanlan, another water gun shot!"

Another thick jet of water shot out.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Shui Lanlan sprayed three water gun shots in a row, all of which hit the lid of the small black pot.

The small black pot was like a nail driven into the ground, completely immovable.

Shui Lanlan had shot water three times, and her condition had deteriorated significantly.

After all, it's only level 2, so being able to shoot three times is already quite impressive!

Unfortunately, they encountered Chen Xun and the Little Black Pot duo.

"Have you had enough?"

Chen Xun said impatiently, "You've had your turn, it's my turn now."

"Little black pot, spin and charge!"

The little black pot suddenly started spinning rapidly in place, like a black top, and crashed into Shui Lanlan with a whistling sound.

"What the hell is this?"

Everyone in the audience was stunned.

Pokémon battles can be played like this?

Should we just throw the Pokémon like a bowling ball?

In fact, Chen Xun had no choice.

Right now, besides blowing bubbles, the little black pot hasn't learned any other skills yet.

It can only be used as a weapon for the time being.

Fortunately, the [Mud Armor] trait is something it has from birth, which ensures that Little Black Pot itself will not be harmed.

"Shui Lanlan, get out of the way!"

Zhao Yuxuan shouted urgently.

Shui Lanlan quickly jumped to the side.

It's too late.

The little black pot is moving too fast!

boom!

A loud bang.

The little black pot slammed hard into Shui Lanlan's belly.

Shui Lanlan flew out like a rag doll, crashing heavily to the ground and howling in pain.

"Isn't this pot supposed to be earth-type? Why does it look the same as a martial-type pot to me?"

Yang Chao, standing on the stands, was stunned for a moment, then revealed an expression of appreciation.

As a martial arts-type beast tamer, what I love most is the feeling of every punch landing.

Skin-to-skin contact feels the best!

Shui Lanlan got up from the ground and sprayed out a large amount of white foam, which covered the small black pot.

Bubbles can slow down opponents, making them a powerful skill for Water-type Pokémon.

"Little black pot, cover it up!"

Chen Xun gave the order.

The little black pot suddenly jumped upwards.

Snapped!

It was upside down on the ground.

All the foam was applied to the bottom of the pot, and it had no effect whatsoever.

The entire audience: "..."

How can we fight like this?

I can't damage them, and all my skills are blocked.

This pot is practically an invincible fortress!

Zhao Yuxuan was nearly going crazy: "Shui Lanlan, spray its bottom with a water gun! I refuse to believe it doesn't have a weakness!"

Shui Lanlan quickly lowered her head and sprayed a thin stream of water at the bottom of the small black pot.

This is all the energy it has left.

Chen Xun had anticipated this.

"Now! Little black pot, lift the lid, release the poison... cough... release the mud!"

The little black pot suddenly lifted its lid.

A cloud of earthy yellow mist suddenly erupted, enveloping the entire battle arena.

It was the combined skill that Chen Xun and Xiao Hei Guo had practiced diligently.

Mud bubbles!

Countless yellowish-brown bubbles danced in the mist, looking exactly like ordinary mud bubbles.

"What is it?"

Zhao Yuxuan squinted, unable to see clearly inside: "Shui Lanlan, quickly use the water gun to disperse the fog!"

Unfortunately, by this time, the blue water had dried up and the blue had faded.

A yellowish-brown bubble drifted silently to the side of Shui Lanlan.

boo~

The bubbles burst open.

The mud outside splashed all over Shui Lanlan's body, and the venom wrapped in the mud instantly seeped into its skin.

Shui Lanlan's body stiffened abruptly, then began to tremble violently.

Its skin turned bluish-purple at a visible speed, and its eyes became unfocused.

"Shui Lanlan, what's wrong?"

Zhao Yuxuan's expression changed drastically, and he rushed over immediately.

He had only taken two steps when the referee stopped him.

"The battle isn't over yet!"

"It's over."

Chen Xun waved to signal.

The voice just fell.

Shui Lanlan collapsed to the ground with a thud, foaming at the mouth, and incapacitated.

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded at the scene unfolding on the battle stage.

Did Chen Xun win?

How did a black pot defeat the blue-quality aqua blue?

The entire battle was a complete rout!

"Holy crap! Chen Xun won!"

"One pot beat Shui Lanlan!"

"That mud bubble was really powerful!"

"I hereby declare that from this day forward, Chen Xun is my idol, the Iron Pot God of War!"

"What 'Iron Pot God of War'? He's clearly a culinary god! This is just iron pot stewed watery broth!"

……

Fatty Wang jumped up excitedly and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Brother Xun is awesome!"

Zhao Yuxuan stared blankly at Shui Lanlan lying on the ground, his face drained of color.

He actually lost to a pot.

His prized blue aquamarine was utterly powerless against Chen Xun's scapegoating.

The referee walked onto the stage, raised Chen Xun's hand, and loudly announced, "I declare Chen Xun the winner of this match!"

The audience erupted in thunderous applause once again.

Just then.

A figure jumped down from the podium and landed steadily on the battle platform.

It was Yang Chao.

He walked up to Chen Xun, his eyes filled with admiration: "Well done!"

"Your ability to use Pokémon is the best I've ever seen among your peers, especially that trick of using Pokémon like a spinning top to bump into things, it's very ingenious."

Chen Xun smiled and said, "Basic procedure!"

Yang Chao: "..."
