Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

Pokémon: Gravestone

[Attributes]: Rock, Ground

[Level]: 26

【Ability】: Sturdy (Pokémon with this ability, when attacked while at full HP, will have only a sliver of HP left, even if they take significant damage.)

[Introduction]: Graveler is a spherical Pokémon with a stone-like appearance and two very short legs. However, rather than walking on its feet, Graveler prefers to curl up its limbs and move by rolling like a ball.

... ...

"Durability?"

"Two attacks are needed."

Haoyan raised an eyebrow, not even glancing at Guitai, and instead looked at the referee standing to the side and asked, "Can we begin?"

"We can begin." The referee, ignoring the arrogant and complacent Keita, waved his flag and announced the start of the match.

Haoyan took out the Poké Ball and pressed the switch on it.

After a burst of red light, Gardevoir appeared.

The beautiful and delicate Gardevoir immediately sparked a buzz among those around it upon its appearance: "Wow, it's so pretty! What kind of Pokémon is this?"

"This is Gardevoir, from the Hoenn region. It's a Psychic/Fairy type Pokémon."

"It is said that Gardevoir can sense the feelings of humans and other Pokémon, and some can even see the future clearly."

"The powerful Gardevoir has the ability of telekinesis, is not affected by gravity, and uses its psychic powers to support its body."

... ...

"Hmph, this is a battle between trainers, not some flashy but impractical contest like the Grand Contest!" Keita pretended to be nonchalant, but the envy in his eyes was impossible to hide.

Every normal person wants to capture a cute, beautiful, and charming Gardevoir.

Hao Yan was too lazy to waste words with Keita and directly commanded, "Xiao Lu, use the energy ball."

Upon hearing this, Gardevoir immediately placed her fair hands in front of her chest.

A green energy ball immediately condensed and was hurled rapidly toward the rumbler.

Keita was already used to using his voice to command his Pokémon in battle when he was fighting against others.

Haoyan, who can form a mental link with Gardevoir, doesn't need to go through all that trouble.

This attack gave Keita no chance to react.

Moreover, even if he realized it, or even if he had prepared in advance.

Can you dodge the heavy, slow-moving rumblebees?

The energy ball struck the Gravestone squarely.

Grass-type Energy Ball deals quadruple damage to Rock and Ground-type Golems!

"Xiao Lu, use your telekinesis to finish them off."

Since the opponent has the sturdy characteristic, just follow up with another attack.

Psychic is a skill Gardevoir learned long ago, and it's much faster than Energy Ball, which it only learned a month ago.

As soon as the ripples spread in the air, the rumbling rock collapsed immediately.

The referee on the sidelines immediately waved his flag.

"The winner is the challenger, Haoyan!"

“… …”

Just three seconds ago, Keita was still talking at length, but he never expected that his rumblestone would collapse three seconds later.

They lost so quickly, and the slap in the face came so decisively.

"Next," Hao Yan said casually to the referee.

This time, it was Keita's turn to look utterly defeated.

... ...

The next opponent to be substituted in was a level 22 Sandslash.

This time, the opponent was much more cautious. As soon as he entered the battle, he had his Sandslash use Dig to try to avoid Gardevoir's attack.

Hao Yan wasn't in a hurry. As soon as the opponent appeared, he had Gardevoir use Teleport to dodge the attack.

He delivered an energy ball with a backhand, finishing off his opponent.

... ...

Haoyan's easy victory attracted the attention of all the trainers watching the battle.

Some of the trainers who just challenged others also won.

But only Haoyan won so easily.

Looking at Haoyan, who still looked relaxed, they all knew that Haoyan was very likely to defeat Xiaogang and obtain the badge.

There are three arenas in total, but the other two arenas are no longer used for fighting.

Because the dojo master, Xiaogang, had already started warming up on the side.

The battle between Haoyan and the gym leader is finally about to begin.

... ...

Chapter 43: Quadruple damage, a fatal blow, instantly kills.

"I can feel the powerful aura of your Gardevoir."

"Finally, a formidable opponent has arrived."

Xiao Gang, standing on the arena, squinted his already small eyes and looked at Hao Yan seriously, speaking with a fighting spirit.

"Thank you, your Onix is ​​also very well raised." Hao Yan chuckled.

Haoyan had a rather favorable impression of Xiaogang, who had thick eyebrows and small eyes.

For some reason, Haoyan always felt that there was an unshakeable sorrow between Xiaogang's brows.

It seemed as if he was hiding something on his mind.

"Then let's begin!" Xiao Gang had barely finished speaking.

The giant onyx snake that had been following him suddenly appeared in front of him.

The information about Onix automatically entered Hao Yan's mind.

Pokémon: Onix

[Level]: 38

[Attributes]: Rock, Ground

【Characteristic】: Hard Head (Immune to the recoil damage from its own moves.)

[Description]: The Onix's body is composed of several large gray rocks, resembling a snake. It is usually quite docile, but becomes extremely ferocious when provoked.

... ...

"Level 38, that's not a low level."

"In terms of level, it's much higher than Xiaolu, but Onix hasn't fully evolved yet, so its strength is somewhat diminished." Haoyan looked at Onix and silently calculated.

The level 38 Onix and the level 38 Steelix are significantly different in strength.

Gardevoir's little face was filled with fighting spirit.

This was her first time.

Haoyan used her for the first time to fight against a powerful gym leader.

Haoyan clearly has a lot of confidence in Gardevoir.

Before the match even started, Gardevoir's fair hands were already placed in front of her chest, ready to attack as soon as Haoyan uttered a sound.

Haoyan, who shares a deep connection with Gardevoir, knows Gardevoir's feelings at this moment.

He spoke to her through his mind: "Little Lu, don't rush to attack when it starts."

"Focus on defense first, then look for opportunities to attack."

"Hmm!" Gardevoir nodded inwardly, focusing intently on its opponent, Onix.

... ...

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

"The challenger, Brock, is limited to using only three Pokémon, and cannot change them during the battle."

"If one of the Pokémon loses all its HP, the other will be declared the loser."

"At the same time, if a Pokémon leaves the battlefield during a battle, it will be considered to have lost, even if it has not lost any stamina."

The referee explained the rules to the side.

"Ah."

"Let's begin." Haoyan and Xiaogang nodded at the same time.

"The match begins!" The referee waved his flag and stepped aside.

... ...

"Onix, use Drill!" Brock immediately jumped in with a move as soon as the battle began.

Having just watched Hao Yan's battle, he knew that Hao Yan's Gardevoir knew how to counter his Onix's Grass-type Energy Ball.

Moreover, Haoyan doesn't need to use his voice to command his Pokémon to make moves like other people do.

In addition, Gardevoir's attack speed is very fast, so if you can't seize the initiative in time...

Then it is very likely that we will be put in a passive position.

Onix's rocky body began to spin rapidly, just like the name of the skill, resembling a large, exaggerated impact drill bit, as it attacked Gardevoir.
