Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 250 Battle against Cynthia, Garchomp vs. Garchomp (Seeking monthly votes)

Mingyou was invited to the seaside villa area of ​​Lianyi Town. Sitting in the car, she looked around at the magnificent courtyards as if she had never seen the world before.

There are a total of twelve sea-view courtyard houses here. Half of them belong to Jia Deliya herself, and the other one was given to Zhu Lan as a birthday gift by her a couple of years ago.

"I'm truly naive!"

"Mmm~"

Mingyou held Ponpo in her arms, their expressions of surprise completely identical, as if they had finally understood what the life of a truly wealthy person was like in an instant.

The Zhulan seaside villa alone is the size of his expanded manor. Instead of planting trees, he left all the land empty to decorate with all sorts of random artworks. It's simply inhumane!

Sitting in the driver's seat of the SUV, Zhu Lan noticed their expressions through the rearview mirror and laughed with a slightly helpless expression, "Isn't this a waste of land resources? Haha... I didn't even want it, but she insisted on giving it to me. Actually, I haven't been here many times, so I'm not very familiar with the road conditions."

"Is it really necessary to be familiar with this...?"

Mingyou snapped out of her daze and subconsciously complained, "This is such a big piece of land, even the road belongs to you. You can drive recklessly and nobody cares."

It just goes to show how vast the gap is between people. She's a truly wealthy young lady, while I'm just a cunning tycoon in a remote, impoverished village, a poor wretch who looks rich but is actually quite poor...

Now that Jia Deliya is at the hospital and not available for the time being, I can complain a little. In order to wait for Zhu Lan, who has trouble making choices, to pick an ice cream, she actually ate more than 40 ice creams in a row to pass the time, and ended up getting an upset stomach.

Even a superpowered person would find it hard to handle. It's hard to tell if she's just naturally naive or stubborn, although being able to eat so much ice cream is already outrageous.

The SUV quickly drove to the end of the courtyard. Gazing at the magnificent villa in the distance, Mingyou felt that her own home was like a thatched hut. Should she renovate it when she got back this time? Hmm... let's do that!

Zhu Lan slowly stopped the car in front of the villa steps. The butler, who had been waiting there for a long time, immediately stepped forward to help her and Mingyou open the car door.

"The service is so attentive..."

Mingyou and Pengpeng got out of the car together, neither of them really liking being served like this.

Actually, Zhu Lan was in a similar situation. After getting out of the car, she saw the housekeeper about to help her park the car, but she waved her hand and said, "Park here first, you can go and rest. I can handle the rest myself."

After dismissing the housekeeper and the others, Zhu Lan rubbed her forehead and shook her head, looking slightly helpless. Then she put these thoughts aside and walked into the villa with Ming You, saying, "Sometimes it's inconvenient to be waited on, but Xiao Guang seems to like it."

"Xiao Guang?"

"Well, since the grand festival in the Johto region isn't until three months from now, she had nothing to do after collecting all the ribbons, so she came with me to play and wanted to participate in the World Championship Junior Cup."

"Oh, I see. Where is she?"

"After registering, I stayed here for a few days, and then yesterday I went to Raven City to see the Pokémon musical. I think I'll be going to see Daisy's fashion show there in a couple of days, so I probably won't be back until next week."

"What a coincidence."

Mingyou shook her head gently. After all, they were friends she hadn't seen in a long time. But let's put that aside for now. There are more important things to do now!

The two walked to the backyard of the villa, where they could see the sea directly, and even a short walk away was a private beach. Apart from some wild Pokémon, they could hardly see anyone else.

Meanwhile, in the backyard, there was a battleground that had been prepared, ready for any battle to take place. Mingyou had come along specifically to have a battle with Zhulan.

This was a New Year's wish he had promised Garchomp: to fight a very strong opponent. There was probably no one more suitable than Cabbage. He remembered this after Cattleya went to the hospital and issued a challenge.

Zhu Lan readily accepted his challenge; otherwise, she wouldn't have driven all the way to the villa for the duel. To be honest, she had never actually fought Ming You herself, only seen him fight Sha Li.

However, the fact that they were able to wipe out the entire enemy team under the leadership of the Galactic Team executives... such strength is something that Cynthia has been looking forward to witnessing for a long time!

The two stood on their respective sides. Mingyou looked at Sister Baicai, who was dressed in casual clothes, opposite her. This was the first time she had faced the champion. She was definitely nervous, but she was more excited.

"Mmm~"

Ponpo stood to the side, swaying her body to cheer for Mingyou.

Cynthia waved her hand, warming up, then took out her Poké Ball, her beautiful eyes looking ahead, and smiled calmly: "I've already said I won't hold back in battle, so go all out!"

"Yes, please guide me!"

Mingyou responded politely. There weren't many rules or a referee for this battle. After both sides nodded to each other, they threw their Poké Balls together.

A flash of red light, accompanied by a powerful aura, and Garchomp appeared on the scene, brandishing its claws. Garchomp, however, remained fearless, staring coldly at its opponent.

Seeing Garchomp appear, Cynthia was slightly surprised, but nodded with great satisfaction: "That child evolved...that's impressive!"

"Hehe, thanks for the compliment!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mingyou's eyes changed instantly, and he waved his hand and shouted, "Let's fight! Show us your full strength!"

"shark!"

Garchomp immediately swung its claws, unleashing Dragon Dance. It naturally recognized its opponent as the Garchomp it had admired when it was still a Gible. Back then, it only felt the gap between them was vast, but now perhaps it could…

Garchomp deliberately waited for Garchomp to use Dragon Dance. Like Cynthia, it wanted to see its opponent go all out more than to win the battle.

"Dragon Claw!"

Mingyou immediately waved and shouted. After Dragon Dance, Garchomp's speed increased significantly, and it rushed forward. Only then did Cynthia finally react, smiling and snapping her fingers.

Upon hearing the sound, Garchomp moved and swung its claws just as Garchomp attacked. The claws collided violently, emitting a dazzling purple light. This continued for several seconds before Garchomp's eyes changed and it swung its other claw out as well!

Before its claws could even land, Garchomp's body suddenly whipped up a torrent of water, unleashing a Water Slash that sent it flying into the air...

"There are too many weaknesses. Since the first attack failed to gain the upper hand, we should change our strategy instead of continuing to launch attacks blindly!"

Zhu Lan commented on the previous question, but Ming You's lips curled up slightly as she softly replied, "Since we don't have the advantage, sometimes feigning an opening might create a better opportunity to attack!"

"Looks like you have your own tactics."

The moment the words fell, Garchomp, which had just been knocked away by Garchomp, suddenly transformed into a purplish-red dragon shadow in mid-air and unleashed Dragon Dive.

The Garchomp was moving too fast. The water on its body had just dissipated when it was hit directly, sending it flying backward. The damage was very significant!

Watching this scene, Zhu Lan gently stroked her chin with her fingers, smiled and nodded. That's more like it. Just because the other side is using a baby team doesn't mean they're new to the game in terms of awareness and skills. They should be treated as equals.

Mingyou successfully provoked her fighting spirit. After Garchomp shook its head and stood up, Cynthia tossed her hair, waved her hand, and shouted, "It's our turn, Scaled Slash!"

"shark!"

Garchomp got really serious, and its dragon scales suddenly shot out like floating cannons. Garchomp tried to dodge, but was still hit by two of them, with excellent results.

After using Scale Shot, Garchomp's defense decreased, but its speed increased. At this point, it completely outpaced Garchomp, regaining the initiative and transforming into a dragon shadow as well...

"Dragon's Dive!"

The purplish-red dragon shadow that Garchomp transformed into was even larger and had an immense sense of oppression, like a ferocious dragon that blotted out the sky and bared its fangs and claws, and it charged directly at Garchomp.

"We'll retaliate with a dragon's dive!"

Without hesitation, Mingyou waved and shouted, and Garchomp, showing no fear, charged forward.

Two dragon shadows burst into the air in the next instant, creating a magnificent spectacle. The powerful impact they generated caused cracks to appear on the ground below.

Many wild Pokémon living nearby were startled by the commotion and scattered in all directions. On the beach not far from the villa's backyard, a man dressed in white was happily talking to a starfish clinging to a reef when he was suddenly attracted by the commotion.

"Are they battling in Pokémon again...?"

The smile on his face gradually faded. He watched the scattering doves and long-winged gulls, sighed softly, gently gripped the pendant on his chest, stood up, and walked toward the direction from which the sounds of battle had come.

At this moment, the battle between Naruto and Cynthia was coming to an end. Garchomp was clearly no match for Garchomp, but it fought harder and harder and had no intention of admitting defeat. Garchomp also showed no sign of stopping.

Bathed in the sunlight, Mingyou was now drenched in sweat, but she showed no sign of giving up, waving her hand and shouting, "This is the final dragon claw!"

"We'll use dragon claws too!"

Zhu Lan clenched her right hand into a claw shape and swung it forward sharply, her face full of joy from the battle. She thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of fighting.

As their voices fell simultaneously, Garchomp and Garchomp locked eyes for a split second, then swung their claws at each other and charged forward in opposite directions.

Just as the dragon claws were about to touch again, a man's figure suddenly walked over from the beach, calmly watching them and shouting.

"Stop!"

"Um?"

An unexpected sound interrupted the battle, causing Naruto and Cynthia to stop fighting simultaneously. Garchomp and Garchomp also stopped their movements just before they were about to touch each other, instinctively turning to look to the side.

The person walking towards them wore a black and white hat, was tall, and had a delicate, feminine appearance. Her long green hair was tied back with a hairband. If it weren't for her clothes, it would be difficult to tell whether she was male or female.

"Who are you……"
