Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

"He should be considered a near-heavenly king."

In fact, the classification of levels is not very strict.

Generally speaking, once a Pokémon reaches level 25, it has already moved beyond being a beginner and has become an ordinary trainer.

Reaching level 35 makes you an elite trainer.

Reaching level 45 means you're considered a gym-level trainer.

Level 55, that's almost a Heavenly King.

Level 65 is the King.

Level 75 is a near-champion.

Class of '85, the champion.

Of course, this is data under normal circumstances.

Some exceptional individuals are excluded from this list.

While the rank is the most intuitive data, it doesn't represent everything.

Just like Tyranitar now, even though his level is 55.

However, his combat skills are rough, and his skill pool is not yet fully developed.

That's why Lucario can easily defeat him.

Tyranitar can only make Lucario serious, not put pressure on him.

What's more, Lucario can also Mega Evolve.

Even the lowest-level Charizard could easily defeat Tyranitar, which is a higher-level Pokémon.

By taking advantage of the height difference and continuously using ranged attacks, Tyranitar had no way to deal with it.

... ...

Haoyan glanced at the calendar on the wall and calculated the time. There were less than two months left until the Kaina City Gym Tournament.

"Let's collect all the badges first and register our names."

"To avoid any unexpected events that might cause us to miss the deadline."

Thinking of this, he spoke to the Pokémon that were eating and drinking heartily.

"We're heading to Petalburg City tomorrow to get the Petalburg Gym badge."

Upon hearing that they could go out and play again, the four Pokémon happily agreed.

"Luca~"

"Shanai~"

"Ow~"

"Aww~ Aww~"

... ...

Chapter 144 A Thousand Miles: So fast, my tactics have been seen through?

After making his plans, Haoyan set off for Petalburg City to challenge the gym.

Petalburg City, Petalburg Gym.

"Your name is Haoyan?" The dojo master, Qianli, asked curiously as he looked at the young man who had come to challenge him.

"That's right, Director Qianli knows me?" Haoyan replied with a faint smile.

“I read in the newspaper that you are the legendary enthusiastic citizen.”

"Out of curiosity, I once asked Asha and Naki, the two curators."

"When you challenged them, you defeated their main battle Pokémon."

"Since I took over the Petalburg Gym, I have never encountered an opponent that would allow me to use my main battle Pokémon."

“Therefore, I have high expectations for you,” Qianli said to Haoyan.

Senri's hometown is not in the Hoenn region, but in the Johto region.

Like Aysa, he was a newly appointed gym leader.

Five years ago, Qianli had already passed the alliance's internal review.

Just as he was preparing to take over as the dojo master, something unexpected happened.

This delayed his appointment by a full five years.

Qianli is a powerful gym leader who specializes in Normal-type moves.

"I'm also looking forward to the match against Director Qianli," Haoyan replied with a smile.

"Alright, let's get started!" Qianli waved to the referee beside him.

"Challenger Haoyan is limited to using three Pokémon, but can switch Pokémon at any time during the battle."

"The challenger, Qianli, is limited to using only three Pokémon, which cannot be changed during the battle..."

The referee came up and explained the rules.

After confirming that both sides had no problems, they waved the flag to announce it.

"Challenger Haoyan battles Senri, the Gym Leader of Petalburg City. Round 1 begins!"

... ...

As soon as he entered the arena, Senri released his Pokémon.

Automatically, the data appeared in Haoyan's mind.

Pokémon: Tauros

[Attribute]: Normal

[Level]: 47

[Special Feature]: Anger Point (Attack power is increased to maximum once a vital point is hit.)

[Description]: Tauros is a bull with a mane around its neck and three tails. It has three dots on its forehead. Its horns are its powerful weapons.

[Note]: Tauros is only male; its female counterpart is Miltank.

... ...

"Little Lucario, it's all yours now." Hao Yan released Lucario.

The best choice for dealing with Normal-type Pokémon.

Of course, it's Lucario, a Fighting/Steel type.

Fighting-type is super effective against Normal-type, and can deal significant damage.

Steel-based systems are resistant to ordinary systems.

In terms of attributes, Lucario completely counters Tauros.

In terms of level, Lucario is a full 8 levels higher.

It can be said to have a huge advantage.

However, Haoyan did not let his guard down.

Because one characteristic of the Normal type is that it can learn skills from many other types.

Examples include jet flames, ice beams, solar beams, and 100,000 volts.

The scope of the attack can be described as quite broad.

... ...

At the start of the battle, Qianli launched the first attack.

"Tauro, use Sacrifice Charge."

Tauros's three tails lashed out repeatedly at his body.

As Tauros's tail lashed out repeatedly, his eyes filled with rage.

It charged straight at Lucario.

The self-sacrificing charge deals a whopping 120 damage in the League's damage calculation.

It's a powerful skill, but it also causes some damage to yourself when you hit an opponent.

"They chose to confront us head-on from the start?"

"Tauro is a little faster than Omega, so the chances of him dodging are slim."

Since the other party wanted to confront him head-on, Haoyan was naturally not afraid.

He instructed Lucario, "Lucario, use Drain Punch."

Lucario took a heavy step and instantly rushed out, raising his fist and smashing it towards Tauros, who was running with his head down.

The two sides traded blows.

Tauros weighs 88 kg, almost twice as heavy as Lucario.

While running, it carries a powerful gravitational potential energy.

The immense force pushed Lucario back nearly ten meters.

However, Lucario was not seriously injured.

His Absorb Punch struck Tauros in an instant.

It absorbed Tauros's stamina and replenished it.

On the contrary, Tauros lost some of his stamina due to using his self-sacrifice charge.

It was then absorbed by Lucario's punch, which had a remarkable effect.

His losses were greater.
