Ditto doesn't move

The fat man from the shouting team sounded weak in the second half of his sentence:

"...You got carried away."

But in the next instant, he slapped himself hard across the face.

impossible!

I am devoted to Miss Mary!

Besides, he's a man! He's a man!

Remember it, remember it, Miss Mary's cool and cute little face, and the contrastingly adorable smile she gave Pokémon that melted hearts.

Hmph hmph hmph hmph ahhhhhh~

I remember now, I remember everything...

Come to think of it, this person seems to be the same type as Miss Mary...

"Captain! Captain, what are you doing?! Captain! Miss Mary is still waiting for us to go back to Galilee together!"

His companion's shouts brought the fat man from the shouting team back to his senses.

That's right, I'm not alone, I still have...

The next instant, he saw his younger brother and sister rushing up to him like they'd seen a celebrity, begging for his contact information...

"enough!"

"Since you're so arrogant, then take out your Pokémon and have a good fight with me!" the fat guy from the Shout Team roared.

"I don't have any Pokémon."

Xia Ming coldly pushed away the two people who approached him, and said to the boy in swimming trunks who was still kneeling on the ground:

"Lend me your Pokémon, and let me show you what Pokémon battles are all about!"

Book 1 Happy Little Ditto: Chapter 4 The Evil Attribute is the Bully's Evil

You don't even have Pokémon, what are you talking about?

The chubby guy from the shouting team wanted to refute him loudly, but then he thought... this confident look... isn't it more like Miss Mary?

Even spicier!

The boy in swim trunks was the same; he stood up, wiping away his tears, and said:

"I'm...I'm sorry, big brother. I only have one Pokémon, Little Earth, but he just lost a battle and he's out of energy. I need to take him to the Pokémon Center for treatment first."

The coyote, covered in obvious dust and scratches, barely opened its eyes and licked its owner's cheek, seemingly apologizing for its weakness and helplessness.

Seeing this, even the three members of the shouting team felt inexplicably guilty and reluctant.

The three exchanged a glance. The fat guy from the shouting team noticed his younger brother and sister winking at him. Before he could figure out if their winks meant they were letting him go, he heard them shout at the top of their lungs:

"It's okay, please use my Pokémon!" x2

???

Do you guys have a rebellious bone growing in the back of your heads?

Before the two could even take out their Poké Balls, Xia Ming interrupted their flattery.

"I said, you have it, don't you? That thing."

Xia Ming's figure, standing with his arms crossed, seemed to grow ten or even nine times larger in an instant. His seemingly calm tone was filled with immense power and domineering presence!

As if provoked, the boy in swim trunks gritted his teeth and turned to run away:

"I, I'm leaving first."

"...Look at your companions."

"That guy's eyes were saying—he's been fucking looked down upon!"

Xia Ming said to the other person's back.

The boy in swim trunks instinctively stumbled, then looked at the Pokémon in his arms.

Clearly, as a partner who spends every day with him, the coyote also realized what "that thing" was and why the swim trunks boy turned and ran away.

The coyote sheds tears of blood!

"The Polihound is a tenacious canine Pokémon. Its abilities are cowardice and the ability to run away. It is considered a shameless and scoundrel-like Pokémon. It will run away when bullied by a powerful Pokémon, and it will eat leftovers and garbage without any self-respect when it loses."

Xia Ming crossed his arms and said, word by word:

"Therefore, its nature is evil! It is the evil of using any means necessary to survive!"

"Such a Pokémon will not easily become someone else's partner. Either you subdue it with power and make it your boss, or it has already found a reason not to run away anymore."

"Boy! Even stray dogs have proud souls! Do you want to thoroughly humiliate the only treasure of the villains?!"

The boy in swim trunks was truly amazing.

The wolfhound, which had just regained a little strength, jumped out of his arms.

With bloodshot eyes, he trembled as he struggled to his feet and roared at the three-man shouting team!

The shouting team's fat man—no, the villain named Koru—shouted excitedly.

"That's right, all we evil party has left is this little bit of backbone to protect what's important."

Having suffered 36 defeats in 54 battles, a formal trainer from Spiketown has come to challenge!

Come out! Charge straight at the bear! Prepare for battle!

A Pokémon with a streamlined body and brown fur jumped out of its Poké Ball and coldly looked at the Poliwag in front of it.

Clearly, even inside the Poké Ball, this Pokémon, which can also evolve into a villain, heard the commotion outside.

Unfortunately, the evil party is absolutely not as merciful as a woman; its only mercy is to use all its strength to deliver the fastest possible defeat to the enemy.

war! ! !

The boy in swim trunks looked up and noticed that a crowd had gathered around him to watch the match. They must have been drawn in by the heartfelt words spoken.

Instead of discussing the strength of the two sides as usual, the onlookers watched with an unspoken silence and solemnity.

"Is that so? So it was I who betrayed you?"

The boy in swim trunks muttered to himself, then his eyes hardened at that moment, and he finally pulled out that thing.

--vulnerary.

"I'm sorry, big brother."

The boy in swim trunks—no, the boy named Oda—said resolutely:

"The coyote is my partner! I won't let anyone win this battle!"

Xia Ming looked at his eager eyes, nodded, and stepped aside.

Xiao Tian turned around and silently walked to his companion's side, carefully tending to the wolfhound's injuries with his still trembling hands.

After the entire bottle of wound spray was used up, the wolfhound's appearance seemed to have recovered, but everyone present knew that it was only on the surface.

Even with a Pokémon's body, the absorption of healing ingredients wouldn't be this fast.

At that moment, Xiaotian suddenly understood a little bit of what a hyena felt.

I'm so scared! I don't want to get hit! I don't want to get hurt! But I also don't want to be looked down upon!

"war!!!"

He proudly raised his head and addressed the other person.

"The rules of the competition are single battles, and neither side can switch Pokémon or use items."

Some onlookers volunteered to act as referees: "If there are no problems, let's start now."

"Charge on Ursa, use Slash!" Trainer Kru immediately issued the command.

Slash, a high-level Normal-type move, is a powerful skill that Zigzagoon can only master after evolving into Ursaring.

Because its attacks mostly target vital points without any mercy, it symbolizes the villainous nature hidden within Ursaring. (The regular Ursaring is a Normal type, while the Galarian Ursaring is a Dark type.)

Even in the battle just now, the opponent did not use this skill that represents their full strength.

Now, if the Brutus uses this move on the Poliwag in its second evolution, it has a high probability of achieving a one-hit kill if it hits!

"Wolfhound, get out of the way! Then look for an opportunity to counterattack!"

Oda shouted anxiously.

In his vision, after using the move called Slash, the Straight Bear's streamlined body moved so fast that it was almost invisible, and the claws on its sides were glowing with a white light of energy.

Now (II) ? Lin Wuyi Sanxiaqi I San can only believe in the wolfhound, believe it, believe it can definitely see through such a move!

Xia Ming stood to the side, unconsciously frowning.

He now roughly understood why this swim trunks kid said, "There's an insurmountable wall between ordinary people and registered trainers."

But this only made him more confused.

Seriously? What exactly did you learn at the Pokémon School?

Even if you can't memorize the attribute advantage/disadvantage table, you should at least know the moves your partner can use!

What are these "dodge quickly," "hold on," and "stand up" instructions? Aren't they just completely abandoning command and letting the Pokémon decide how to respond on its own?

At most, it might have a morale-boosting effect.

Despite his doubts, he remained silent, because in his eyes, the wolfhound was by no means without a chance of winning.

This Pokémon, known for its shamelessness, isn't really good at using its physical abilities to fight head-on with others!

Remember your days in the wild! Seize that one and only chance to win!

In the arena, facing the charging bear that lunged at them like a meteor, the Coyote's eyes widened and turned red. Just as its opponent was about to reach it, it suddenly leaped to the side, and then...

A piercing scream pierced through my eardrums!

It wasn't the "dust storm" Xia Ming had imagined, but rather... a "bluff"!

Book 1 The Happy Little Metamorphosis: Chapter 5 To Keep You from Being Sad

"A bluff! It's a bluff!"

The crowd erupted in cheers the moment they saw the counterattack.

A professional trainer quietly raised a question: "But isn't this a skill that a hyena can only learn after it evolves? Is this skill legal?"

As we all know, time is paused during commentary.

A passerby wearing a white coat and a white hat explained:

“Under normal circumstances, a coyote does need to evolve before it can learn to bluff.”

"But... if one suppresses the desire to evolve at the moment of evolution and chooses to give up even evolution, the wolfhound can awaken its dormant genes and learn skills ahead of time that even large wolfhounds need to hone for a long time to learn."

He turned to look at the arena and said with emotion, "We don't know why the wolfhound made this choice, but there's no doubt... the power it prepared is now playing a crucial role!"

Some emotional viewers were even moved to tears by the commentary, and shouted angrily at the audience:

"Well done! Well done, you wolfhound!"

"That's how we should play! No, that's the only way we can play!"

"Let them see the spirit of us Aloramen!"

So, what kind of arrogant and domineering skill is this "bluffing" that is seen as the hope of victory?

In the arena, the charging bear, having missed its first attack, was about to launch a series of attacks when it saw its enemy spinning in circles like a clown, roaring as it spun.

Humans cannot understand Pokémon language, but Xia Ming can.

It's more of a dance than a martial art.

Charge straight at the bear, is that all?

Showing absolutely no respect for the fight or the opponent, the shameless coyote used this skill to thoroughly humiliate the charging bear! [II揪?零五氵?]

But what truly had an effect was the unique power hidden within that roar, a power that affected the bear's brain, causing it to begin an indiscriminate attack in a fit of rage!
