Pokémon: My Bonds has a big problem

However, for now, Ange's arrangement for Pokémon is still clear. So for those two Pokémon, he can only go to the breeding house to find suitable Pokémon eggs.

Fortunately...Ange really has no shortage of resources for finding Pokémon.

As a senior forest ranger, he could get first-hand information on the distribution of Pokémon populations in a certain area at any time if he wanted. And because of his relationship with Daigo, he could get the best Pokémon from all the breeding houses.

However, Ange didn't really want his Pokémon to become a tool to activate the bond. He hoped that he could have a strong bond with his Pokémon, so he didn't want to capture Pokémon casually.

Of course, he still has some time. It's not too late now.

The two of them were chatting here, and the audience in the stands looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't expect that among the challengers, there would be such a guy who Xiaoxia wanted to show some respect. This was actually a rare thing for the audience. And for the gym leader himself, it was also a rare thing.

After all, generally speaking, people who are of similar status to them, or at least can gain their respect, have already achieved success and do not need to challenge the gym to prove themselves.

But Ange is indeed such a special case. While having enough status in the martial arts world, he also needs the gym badge as a stepping stone to obtain official status in the alliance.

Without wasting too much time on this matter, Ange directly proposed: "I hope to have a one-on-one battle."

Xiaoxia blinked. Generally speaking, for this kind of trainer, the battle would be at least three-on-three, or even six-on-six.

But now there was a weird guy in a three-on-three situation, which surprised Xiaoxia.

However, since it was Ange who proposed it, Xiaoxia didn't mean to force Ange to carry out her arrangement.

Just to see Ange's level and to give Kona some face.

"Then it's one on one. However, the Pokémon I'm going to send out..."

Xiaoxia's eyes became serious and earnest.

"Come out! Gyarados!"

"Roar!!!"

The huge long shadow under the water suddenly burst out after the call, entered the water from underwater, and revealed its figure.

It was a gigantic Gyarados.

Pokémon come in different sizes, with the difference between the largest and smallest being very noticeable.

Although the size of a Pokémon in a group does not represent its strength level in the group, the larger the Pokémon, the more it will be loved by the trainer.

Just as Ange knew, when facing a large Onix, Hiba also chose to subdue it.

You have to know that he is the king of fighting-type, and actually has nothing to do with rock-type or steel-type. Facts have proved that a Pokémon that is larger than its peers can win the favor of powerful trainers. The main reason for this, of course, is their potential.

Even among the smallest Pokémon, there are talents. For example, Xiaozhi once captured a shining Nightowl. The Nightowl was very small, but its brain was very powerful.

But compared to the large size, the probability is still smaller.

The Gyarados in front of us is a typical example of a large Pokémon with powerful strength.

The moment Gyarados appeared, the whole audience cheered or exclaimed.

Obviously, this Gyarados is also a popular player in the Cerulean Gym, and his popularity is no less than that of the four Cerulean sisters.

And Ange smiled slightly when he saw Gyarados.

"What a coincidence. Just what I wanted."

Chapter 180 Path Dependency

Ange's expression puzzled Xiaoxia. She knew her Gyarados's fighting power best. Although she didn't know what kind of trump card Ange had, she shouldn't have such strong confidence if she wanted to deal with her Gyarados.

Thinking of this, Xiaoxia's expression became more solemn, and she put her hand on her wrist.

There was a bracelet there, and inlaid on the bracelet was a key stone.

As a gym leader, and one who was not short of money at all, it was not difficult for her to get a key stone. As for the mega stone, although it required more, if she only needed one, she could still ask the alliance to help her find it.

Anyway, Xiaoxia won’t refuse to pay.

So, Xiaoxia can now mega-evolve Gyarados. Although it has only been a short time since she got these two things, she is not that proficient. But she doesn't need to be that proficient, right?

At least it is unlikely to be necessary to deal with Ange.

Of course, Xiaoxia didn't know that Angge's expression was precisely because he knew that the Pokémon he was going to send out would most likely not be able to deal with this Gyarados.

That's why he has such an expression.

Teaching someone words a hundred times may not necessarily make them work, but teaching someone things once often makes them work.

For Squirtle, which has always relied on this trick to defeat the strong with the weak, if you tell it during its winning streak that there is something wrong with its playing style, it may agree verbally, but when it comes to taking action, it will still not change at all.

So Ange would not waste words on Squirtle when he was happy. As long as he could let it suffer a setback, he would naturally be able to find an excellent opportunity to intervene and correct it, and it would be more effective with less effort.

Now is naturally such a good time.

"Come out, Squirtle!"

Ange released Squirtle.

When Squirtle first appeared, he looked proud and confident. But when he saw his opponent, the ferocious Gyarados, his expression fell, and he was obviously confused and at a loss.

But soon, its expression returned to that powerful and confident look, although Ange could feel that the little guy no longer had much confidence.

Ange found it very interesting. Of course, he was definitely not gloating... well, a little bit.

But soon, Ange's expression became more serious. Although he intended to teach Squirtle a lesson, Ange knew that if he really behaved badly, he would not be able to get the blue badge from Xiaoxia, and he would even lose face in front of Kona's girlfriend. Not only would he lose face, but Kona would also know that he was careless. This was definitely not okay.

"Ready to fight!"

"Jenny!"

Squirtle is ready for battle.

"Squirtle, break out of your shell."

As Ange spoke, he put a bond enhancement on Squirtle. At the same time, after the shadow of the broken shell flashed by, Squirtle's defense and special defense were reduced by one level, while attack, special attack and speed were increased by two levels.

This is a skill that was not used in the last battle with Jiro.

After all, after using the Shell Breaking Technique, the defense that could originally withstand two attacks may not even be able to withstand one. A true glass cannon.

But there is no other way. If Squirtle doesn't break the shell, with the current strength of his attack, it is very likely that he will not be able to break Gyarados' defense. Then Squirtle's self-confidence will be completely broken.

That was not the scene Ange wanted to see.

"Gyarados, Water Tail."

Xiaoxia was surprised that Ange released a Squirtle to fight. However, Xiaoxia was surprised, but she would definitely fight seriously during the battle. Moreover, she could feel that the strength of this Squirtle was not weak. Although it was still far behind Gyarados, after being strengthened, it could be considered a rival.

Therefore, Xiaoxia had no intention of letting him off the hook.

"Roar!"

Gyarados roared, and a large amount of water gathered into the shape of a tail, sweeping towards Squirtle.

Squirtle immediately jumped up very quickly, and sprayed water in the air to adjust its direction, and then...

"Freeze punch!"

Ange immediately gave the order. Fortunately, Gyarados has a flying type as a weakness. If it is really a pure water type, then Squirtle's skill list really doesn't have any useful moves.

"Gyarados, take it, then use Crunch!"

"Jenny!"

"Roar!"

Two shouts rang out almost at the same time. The white cold ice fist smashed into Gyarados' body, freezing the water around it into ice cubes and twisting Gyarados' body.

Obviously, this hurt.

However, Gyarados did not retreat because of the pain. Instead, it bit Squirtle even more fiercely.

"Use the Mind Hammer on Gyarados's tail!"

Ange commanded without hesitation. Gyarados could withstand it, but Squirtle couldn't. If he used the shell-retracting move this time, he would die in the shell. So he had to find something else to force a displacement and avoid this move.

The effect was pretty good. While hitting Gyarados, he also dodged the move.

In the subsequent battle, Squirtle still fought with Gyarados with his flexible body, thanks to Angge's no-cost supplementary skill attack range. So when the number of skills is not limited, Squirtle can use the freezing ray arranged by Angge as the main means of combat.

It was not without its consumption of Gyarados. However, Gyarados's large-scale and powerful attacks also put Squirtle in crisis again and again, but relying on its flexible body, it was able to escape danger again and again.

Squirtle had a look of fear on his face. However, with each success, his confidence and smile returned to his face. It seemed that the situation before him had returned to its familiar state.

Although every attack and every dodge is full of danger, Squirtle, who is good at dancing on the edge of a knife, can find the most suitable opportunity in the dangerous gap and achieve the most successful attack results.

I have to say that such behavior itself is double the excitement and double the happiness.

But Ange was not in a hurry. He knew that Squirtle was enjoying the current battle, but he also knew that Squirtle would not be able to enjoy this kind of battle forever.

After all, Gyarados is getting angry.

The audience cheered again and again. This kind of battle was so exciting for them. That Squirtle was simply a big star.

Every time it dodges, it will be met with cheers.

Xiaoxia's eyes changed, but she had already thought of a solution.

Chapter 181 Don’t Be Shortsighted

The audience cheered again and again. This kind of battle was so exciting for them. That Squirtle was simply a big star.

Every time it dodges, it will be met with cheers.

Xiaoxia's eyes changed, but she had already thought of a solution.

"Gyarados, use Rainmaker."

Gyarados' ferocious expression almost instantly subsided when he heard Misty's order, and he obediently began to execute an instruction that was not an offensive order.

This is very rare for a Pokémon with a bad temper. This is really a test of the basic skills of the trainer. After all, if even your Pokémon doesn't listen to your orders, how can you be called a trainer?

Squirtle was confused for a moment. He didn't know why Misty suddenly asked Gyarados to pray for rain.

However, Squirtle knows that in rainy weather, its water-based skills should be powerful enough to cause damage to Gyarados. With the help of this attribute and the weather, the damage of water-based skills is basically the same as the damage of ice-based skills.

Of course, Squirtle also knows that when it rains, Gyarados's power will be enhanced. Those water-attribute skills that were already very powerful will now be more powerful and the attack will be more fierce.

But for Squirtle, it makes no difference whether Gyarados's power is strengthened or not.

Anyway, if they were hit once, they would lose their ability to fight. After being strengthened, they would just be hit a little further.
