One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"I am a Rock-type Gym Leader, possessing a tenacity as hard as stone, and my Pokémon are naturally the same..."

"Hard as a rock, unyielding and resilient!"

"Come on! Let me see what you're capable of!"

After saying that, he strode towards the position of the trainer in the battle arena.

"They've really got a lot of tricks up their sleeves, and they've made it look quite convincing!"

Seeing that the original rocky area had suddenly turned into a rocky battlefield, Akane couldn't help but complain in his heart. He then immediately led Luffy, whose eyes were already shining, to the other side of the battle area.

To be honest, the machine's flashy maneuvers really captivated Luffy.

Battle is imminent!

"Then, my first Pokémon, go, Geodude!"

After Red took its place, Brock instantly pulled a Poké Ball from his waist and released a Geodude, a standard item for every Gym Leader in Dark Grey.

However, Brock's Geodude looks significantly larger and stronger than those of the other gym trainers.

And the rank above its head clearly proves this point.

[LV:12, HP: 38/38]

"A level 12 Geodude? Too bad, you don't seem to be able to give us enough fun~"

Red murmured softly, then said to Luffy beside her:

"Go, Luffy! Take care of it!"

"Yoshi~"

As Luffy arrived at the Pokémon battle area, a huge domain suddenly opened up, enveloping the three of them and their Pokémon.

At that moment, Xiao Gang's eyes became even more lively, and then...

"Um!?"

As if he had just discovered the problem, his two small, beady eyes suddenly opened, and he looked at Luffy on the field in disbelief.

Influenced by the machine, even if he gained sentience, he would not believe that Luffy is not a Pokémon.

As an excellent gym leader, he immediately noticed Luffy's domineering aura!

"How is this possible..."

"How can a newbie have such a powerful Pokémon!?"

Xiao Gang's expression grew increasingly shocked and incredulous.

On the other side, however, Red had already given Luffy instructions.

"Luffy, the usual routine! Use Shave!"

As the saying goes, "One trick is all you need to succeed in the world."

Against clumsy Geodude, Shave is a god-tier skill that perfectly counters them!

Even if this Geodude is the Gym Leader's Pokémon!

Whoosh!

Like a hurricane, Luffy's figure moved across the field with lightning speed.

Luffy's proactive attack quickly dispelled Xiao Gang's shock, allowing him to focus his attention on the battle at hand.

"Huh!? Was that a flash of lightning!?"

When trainers in the game world are given intelligence, they are also given combat experience that matches their identity.

Before Luffy could even reach Geodude's back, Brock made the perfect judgment in an instant and shouted the order:

"Groundhog, use Round and Roll!"

"Luffy, attack!"

"Hacha!" "Rubber rubber..."

As soon as the two trainers gave their commands, Luffy and Geodude instantly began to unleash their attacks.

However, just as Luffy's fist, stretched to its limit and fully charged, flew back and struck Kenshin's body...

The little fist stone, whose surface had suddenly become rounded, abruptly retracted its arm, landed on the ground, and then rolled rapidly to one side.

Peng!

boom!!!

At that moment, Luffy's fist followed closely behind, smashing into the ground and creating a deep crater and a spiderweb-like crack in the rocky ground.

"Um!?"

Luffy and Akame both paused, looking at the little Geodude who dodged the attack by rolling away with some surprise.

Then his crimson eyes flashed, as if he had seen something new and interesting.

"Using circular motion to increase rolling speed to achieve a rapid movement effect?"

"It does make up for Geodude's weakness in speed."

Red murmured to himself, "As expected of the Gym Leader, he was able to react in an instant... It seems that becoming an excellent Trainer is not as simple as I thought!"

Excluding the possibility that Brock was spying on Red's battles with other Gym Leaders...

Xiao Gang's reaction just now clearly showed that he had anticipated Luffy's attack and made a preemptive command.

Perhaps this is just above-average command level.

however……

"It's a pity that even the most brilliant command cannot make up for the huge gap in combat strength."

A red thought flashed through her mind quickly, and then she immediately shouted at Luffy:

"Luffy, on your right! Go after it! Take it down!"

"Understood!" Luffy shouted back.

In fact, he didn't even need Red's reminder; his Observation Haki had already sensed an unusual aura on the right side of his body.

Luffy took another series of rapid steps, transforming into a swift whirlwind, and quickly gave chase.

"shave!"

This time, Xiao Gang did not issue the order.

Perhaps even the gym leader didn't know how to deal with Luffy with a level 12 Geodude, so he could only let Geodude roll away to avoid the battle and wear down Luffy's stamina.

However, how could Geodude possibly be a match for Luffy's rolling?

Luffy quickly arrived in front of Geodude with his super-fast movement, ready to attack at any moment and waiting for its arrival.

Seeing this, Xiao Gang gritted his teeth and stopped struggling in vain, shouting angrily with a hint of resentment:

"Geosphere, use Roll and Slam!"

Who fights in a dojo like that?!

Isn't this a case of attacking from a lower dimension?!

Sensing the unwillingness in Xiao Gang's tone, Geodude also transformed that emotion into power. Using a small rock as leverage, his entire body soared into the air and charged towards Luffy!

This set of movements was fluid and graceful, fully demonstrating the battle prowess of the Gym Leader Pokémon.

Unfortunately, he encountered the inhuman Red and Luffy.

"Rubber, rubber..."

"Rocket launcher!!!"

Having missed once before, Lobi used a wider-range two-handed attack this time, which met the incoming punch from Little Stone perfectly.

Peng! ! !

"Cha~!"

With a loud bang, Geodude let out a miserable scream and was blasted away by Luffy's double-barreled rocket launcher, crashing heavily into a small rocky hill.

"Groundhog!"

Xiao Gang shouted worriedly, then quickly took out a Poké Ball and recalled his Geodude.

Then he turned his solemn gaze to Crimson:

"I never expected you to have such a powerful Pokémon!"

"But I won't give up easily!"

"Your turn next, go, Onix!!!"

Xiao Gang skillfully threw out the last Poké Ball from his waist.

A burst of red light appeared.

In an instant, a gigantic basilisk, its entire body made of dark gray rock and topped with a ceiling, appeared in the center of the battlefield.

"Wow!!! That gay guy!!!"

Upon seeing Luffy, who was so tall and handsome, for the first time, his eyes lit up with stars, and he cheered with drool in his mouth.

"Ow!!!"

As soon as it appeared, Onix let out a fierce roar and stared intently at Luffy.

Geodude had seen all of its defeats inside the Poké Ball.

Next, let it avenge Geodude!
