Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

This ending left the small class of students in a state of complete silence for half of the class.

Their worst fears came true; in the very first match, the disparity in strength between the two sides was laid bare.

However, many people are still hoping for the best, thinking that one game doesn't necessarily prove anything.

Dudu's long legs do seem to be somewhat countered by moves like kicking someone down...

Maybe with other Pokémon, we could beat this Machop?

The second contestant, on whom high hopes were placed, was another top player from the general class, Munchlax.

Snorlax, with your thick skin and tough body, your Machop won't be so easy to deal with, will it?

Two minutes later, everyone in the Normal-type class fell silent as they stared at the Munchlax lying on the ground, unable to battle.

The high-attack, high-speed Dudu was almost instantly killed, and the tough-skinned Munchlax was also used as a punching bag and beaten up.

It seems like I'm definitely going to lose face today?

…………

The atmosphere in the two halves was almost diametrically opposed, like half flames and the other half ocean.

Small classes in general departments are undoubtedly the cold and silent side.

Although it was a friendly exchange competition within the school, there wasn't much of a heated competition.

But since they were all classmates who would see each other all the time, being beaten so badly without any chance to fight back would feel like a thorn stuck deep in their hearts, hurting their self-esteem, even if no one said anything.

The third short-haired girl to go on stage was even more apprehensive. Her Lucky Egg was being thoroughly beaten by Dudu and Munchlax, and Dudu and Munchlax were then brutally beaten by Machop.

It seems... there's absolutely no hope of victory.

She hesitated and dared not step forward, already having second thoughts.

"What moves does your little lucky egg know?" Just as she was pondering this, a voice came from beside the short-haired girl's ear.

Her voice was clear and her tone was calm, which contrasted sharply with the low atmosphere around her, giving her a strange sense of peace.

Turning around, I saw that the person asking the question was Xia Chen.

He was frowning as he watched the arm wrestling match in the arena. His profile was handsome, and the curve of his lips and nose was so exquisite that one wanted to capture this beautiful moment with a camera.

The short-haired girl's hesitation instantly turned into a fluttering heart, and she replied in a weak voice, "Patting, acting cute, angel kisses, and... I inherited the mud bomb."

"Mud Bomb?" Xia Chen's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is your Little Lucky Egg's ability Heavenly Grace?"

"I think...right?"

Xia Chen was speechless. What did he mean by "should be"? Didn't he know what characteristics his own Pokémon had?

However, time was of the essence, and he didn't have time to confirm it again. He pulled the short-haired girl aside and whispered a few words to her.

"Do you understand?" Xia Chen asked, looking at the girl whose face was flushed.

"Mmm!" The short-haired girl nodded excitedly, waved to Xia Chen, and then turned and stepped onto the battlefield.

Xia Chen watched the girl's retreating figure and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although I don't really care about winning or losing, we'll be classmates for a year after all, so I should help out if I can...

(Tuesday routine, please continue reading~)

Chapter 44 How could there be such an awful Pokémon as Little Lucky Egg!

The battle continues.

"Come out, little lucky egg!"

The girl's energetic voice surprised the Armwyn trainer, who thought he had crushed his opponent's morale in the previous match.

But it doesn't matter. This little lucky egg doesn't look as good as Dudu from the last round. It should be able to easily defeat it with its wrist strength.

If the opponents are all at this level, maybe I can even take on ten of them and achieve the "[I want to fight ten]" achievement?

This achievement, while perhaps unprecedented and unparalleled, is certainly extremely rare.

Wouldn't I then be able to obtain the legendary priority in choosing a spouse on campus?

"Little Lucky Egg, be cute!"

His thoughts were interrupted by the opponent's command, and he quickly snapped back to focus on the battlefield.

"Wrist strength, dodge it and then close the distance!"

While the idea of ​​"dodging" might sound a bit far-fetched... the reality is...

Machope managed to dodge the slowly drifting fairy-type energy with a quick, small step.

The arm wrestler felt even more at ease; with that speed of releasing the move, this was a sure thing!

…………

Machop isn't particularly fast, but even a Coal Torkoal could crawl up to her when faced with a seemingly terrified little eggshell.

"Wrist strength, bare-handed chop!"

When the two Pokémon were still some distance apart, Machop's trainer had already given the command.

There are both advantages and disadvantages to doing this.

The advantage is obvious: it allows Pokémon to charge up their moves in advance, instead of foolishly running up to their opponent before attacking.

The downside is that once a Pokémon focuses its energy on its moves, it becomes difficult to react to its opponent's counterattacks, at least for beginner-level Pokémon.

However, the Machop trainer didn't care. They were all baby-level Pokémon, so could Machop use Ice Beam or something?

At this moment, the short-haired girl seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, like a fisherman who finally waited for a fish to bite.

"Little Lucky Egg, use the mud bomb!"

Mud Bomb? What kind of move is that? It looks like... a special Ground-type move?

There are countless Pokémon, abilities, items, and moves in the world; how could a novice trainer possibly remember them all?

It doesn't really matter anyway, it doesn't seem like there's anything we can do, since Ground-type doesn't counter Fighting-type anyway.

The arm wrestler thought nonchalantly and shouted, "Arm wrestling, don't worry about it, keep going!"

The straight trajectory of the movement makes wrist strength practically useless as a moving target; if that were the case, even a small lucky egg could miss its target with a Q...

Xia Chen suggested that she should just become a medic from now on...

Fortunately, Little Lucky Egg didn't make such a basic mistake. It condensed ground-type energy in its palms and then threw its two short hands forward.

With a "smack," the yellowish-brown liquid slammed into Wanli's face, and by sheer coincidence, most of it ended up in his eyes, which he hadn't had time to close.

"Power!" Wanli exclaimed in surprise, his body suddenly faltered, and his steps became disordered.

Even his hands, which had been accumulating energy for the [empty chop], became somewhat at a loss.

…………

The sudden change shattered the icy atmosphere in the small class formation of the general department.

Although the mud bomb didn't seem to be that powerful, it was at least the most effective counterattack the small class in the general department had made so far.

We are not green caterpillars to be slaughtered!

"It's getting better, it's getting better! I never expected that Gu Ning, who is usually so unremarkable, would perform so well!"

"The first two Pokémon were too stupid, they didn't even have any ranged attack methods, but Eggoek played so smartly!"

"Speaking of which, Gu Ning usually only uses slapping moves to brute force things, how come he suddenly has a brain?"

"I think I just saw Xia Chen pull her aside and say something to her?"

The students in the small classes of the general department regained their energy and started whispering among themselves.

Teacher Tang also looked at Xia Chen with admiration.

He had clearly heard Xia Chen whisper to Gu Ning, and naturally understood the reason for Gu Ning's extraordinary performance.

It was obvious that Gu Ning hadn't included mud shooting in his regular training, so Xiao Fudan's mud shooting was very clumsy and not very powerful.

However, against a Pokémon like Machop that relies entirely on its physical strength, if you can lower its accuracy, it doesn't matter if it doesn't deal any damage at all.

He didn't know if Egg of the Lucky Egg's ability could double the probability of adding effects to moves [Heavenly Grace], but at that moment, Mud Shot had already hit Machop squarely in the eye.

The tactical objective taught by Xia Chen has been achieved!

…………

Even the arm strength trainers panicked in the face of this situation.

After all, he's still a novice trainer. If he had a little experience, he could act as Machop's eyes, directing the Pokémon's actions.

With its round, egg-shaped body, the little lucky egg can't possibly outrun an arm's strength.

But he didn't realize there was such a solution, and just stood there blankly, letting the arm wrestling on the field lose its direction.

"Little Lucky Egg, an angel's kiss!"

Angel's Kiss... what kind of move is that?

Most of the people present were stunned; this move was even more obscure.

However, the reason it's unpopular isn't because it's ineffective, but because it's a Fairy-type move.

Fairy type is a type that only appeared last year, and most people don't even know all the moves, let alone recognize all the Pokémon.

Not to mention the group of high school students who have just become trainers.

"Toot~Li~" Little Lucky Egg gathered its strength slightly and exhaled a pink breath.

The pink energy wave floated leisurely in the air and hit the wrist that had not yet recovered from the effects of the mud bomb.

For a moment, his figure became even more unsteady.

The arm-strengthening trainer was stunned. This... didn't seem to cause any damage?

What is the effect of this move? Does it slow down movement speed?

Thinking of this, his tense mood relaxed a little. All that fancy stuff, after playing for so long, it hasn't been of any use!

"Wrist strength! Little Lucky Egg is just a few steps ahead of you. Charge over and keep attacking!"
