Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

It is still uncertain when the dojo will open.

Haoyan had no choice but to leave.

... ...

After randomly choosing a hotel and resting for one night, Haoyan set off for Zhenxin Town the next day.

Cerulean City is some distance from Pallet Town.

In order to arrive at Zhenxin Town as soon as possible, Haoyan packed his bags and set off early.

Perhaps because it was early, there weren't many people on Highway 4 leading to Nibi City.

Just when Haoyan thought he could travel quickly...

I could vaguely hear the sounds of fighting in the distance. Although the sounds weren't loud, I could tell that the fighting was quite intense.

"Logically speaking, this place is close to the main road, and there are usually many people coming and going. Most of the Pokémon in the grass here are relatively weak."

"How could there be such intense fighting sounds?" Hao Yan wondered, quickening his pace as he headed towards the source of the sounds.

... ...

A brown-haired girl with a cute braid in her hair was an adorable girl.

He was covered in dust and bruises, and was commanding a level 36 starfish in battle.

"Starfish, be careful!"

The girl's opponent was a Gyarados exuding a ferocious aura.

It kept swishing its tail, as if it was about to lash out and attack the girl's starfish.

Most Water-type Pokémon have vastly different strengths in water compared to on land.

A goldfish can launch attacks using the water-based energy within its body, but can it be expected to dodge attacks on land as nimbly as it does in water?

This is impossible!

Staryu is slightly better, but its speed on land is not as fast as in water, making it impossible for it to dodge Gyarados's attacks.

Staryu, struck by Gyarados's tail, was sent flying far away like a soccer ball, collapsing helplessly to the ground.

Like her owner, she was covered in dust and dirt.

And the injury was quite serious.

Gyarados, dominated by a brutal aura, had no intention of ending things just like that.

Faced with the girl covered in bruises, he brutally raised his tail, intending to attack her.

Faced with the ferocious Gyarados, glistening tears streamed down the girl's cheeks.

With a tearful voice, he pleaded, "Gyarados, it's me!"

"I'm your trainer, Misty!"

"Please, please wake up!"

"Stop doing this! Stop destroying everything!" Despite being covered in dirt and grime, Misty wasn't afraid of Gyarados's attack.

Because she knew that her Gyarados wasn't usually like this.

Although he looked a bit fierce, he was still very close to her.

I wanted to go forward and calm the berserk Gyarados.

However, Gyarados, dominated by the aura of brutality, remained unmoved. Its red eyes, devoid of any warmth, were filled with intense savagery.

He couldn't even tell whether the person in front of him was his trainer.

"Aww~ Aww~"

With a proud cry, it was about to swing its tail, ready to kick Xiaoxia away just like it had kicked a starfish.

If you get hit by Gyarados, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Seeing the tail hurtling towards her, Xiaoxia was already in despair. She had spent three days chasing Gyarados, and she simply didn't have the strength to dodge anymore.

I've already closed my eyes, resigned to this ending.

At this critical moment, Haoyan arrived.

Seeing such a dangerous scene, he quickly rushed towards Xiaoxia's direction.

While running, it threw out two Poké Balls, releasing Lucario and Gardevoir.

He shouted loudly, "Use Protect to block Gyarados's attack!"

Lucario moved quickly, leaving a footprint on the ground, and rushed over.

As he charged, his energy emanated, forming a white protective shield that blocked his path.

Gyarados's tail lashed out at Lucario, the immense impact sending Lucario staggering back several steps.

Fortunately, thanks to the Steel type's good resistance and the double protection of the defensive move Protect, it didn't suffer any serious damage.

Taking advantage of a gap in Gyarados's attack, Haoyan quickly picked up Xiaoxia, pushed off with his feet again, and left Gyarados's attack range.

"Xiao Lu, use hypnosis to calm Gyarados down as much as possible!"

Gardevoir placed its delicate white hand in front of its chest, creating ripples that continuously echoed across Gyarados's body.

After Gardevoir evolved, its internal energy increased dramatically, and it continuously harassed Gyarados with psychic ripples.

For a moment, the frenzied Gyarados stood frozen in place.

Lucario stood in front of Gyarados, ready to strike at any moment.

... ...

Xiaoxia, who thought she was completely trapped and had closed her eyes to wait for death, was taken away in a strong and warm embrace at the last moment.

Rescue her from the crisis.

When Xiaoxia opened her eyes again, she saw a handsome face, a strong arm holding her in his embrace, brave and resolute, commanding his Pokémon in battle.

This scene was etched into Xiaoxia's mind.

It also comforted her previously uneasy heart.

... ...

Chapter 39 To be honest, Xiaoxia's technique is quite professional.

"Can you walk by yourself?" Haoyan asked, still holding Xiaoxia in his arms.

"Ah...okay...okay~" Xiaoxia's cheeks turned red instantly.

Haoyan put Xiaoxia down from his arms and turned his gaze back to the berserk Gyarados.

He asked, "Was your Gyarados provoked in some way, which is why it attacked you?"

Gyarados, now under Gardevoir's hypnosis, stood frozen in place for a moment.

But the brutality in his eyes hadn't disappeared in the slightest.

The riots may resume in a while.

Haoyan's words broke the somewhat ambiguous and romantic atmosphere.

"Yes, that's right!" Xiaoxia's blush quickly faded as she looked at the Gyarados that was still radiating a ferocious aura in the arena, wanting to go forward and comfort it.

"Don't go, leave this to me." Haoyan took a step forward and stopped Xiaoxia.

If words alone were effective, Xia wouldn't have been attacked just now.

"Your starfish should have the ability to self-repair, right? If so, let her recover her stamina."

"If you don't know how, feed her this berry." Hao Yan put a berry into Xiao Xia's hand, then looked warily at the motionless Gyarados, preparing to 'appease' it.

"Ok!"

Haoyan's calm and confident tone made Xiaoxia feel as if she had regained her sense of security.

She agreed, then took the tree fruit Haoyan had given her and rushed to the injured starfish to check on her injuries.

... ...

How to appease them?

If Gyarados can be successfully hypnotized and returned to its Poké Ball, that would be ideal.

If hypnosis doesn't work, then there's only one way: knock him out!

... ...

Pokémon: Gyarados

[Level]: Originally level 33 (temporarily increased to level 43)

[Attribute]: Water, Flying

【Trait】: Intimidate (Intimidates the opponent upon entering the field, causing them to back down and reducing their attack power.)

[Introduction]: Gyarados has a very ferocious personality. It is said that when Magikarp evolves into Gyarados, the structure of its brain cells will be reorganized, which is why its personality becomes violent.

... ...

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

Gradually, Gyarados's body began to move slowly, as if it were trying to break free from something.

Finally, Gyarados returned to normal.

His brutal nature immediately triggered his rage.

"Little Ou, use Thunder Fist to attack him!"

"Xiao Lu, use Spectral Beam!" Before Gyarados could make a move, Hao Yan had already commanded the two Pokémon to move.

The closest Lucario is the fastest.

The fist, crackling with lightning, slammed mercilessly into Gyarados's abdomen.

The effect is outstanding!
