Pokémon: Blessed by Fate, starting with the destruction of Tyranitar.

Li Huowang observed for a while, intending to choose the one he was satisfied with from the two elves.

As for the inherited destiny character and its skills and traits, he had already thought it through; now all that was left was the choice of the spirit.

After observing for a long time, Li Huowang finally made his choice.

"Okay, I'll choose this one!"

267. Encountering Heracross!

In the end, Li Huowang chose Garchomp, a Dragon-type Pokémon with Fire-type moves.

All things considered, Garchomp's attributes and combat stats are more in line with Silver Wolf's characteristics.

Although the Steel-type and Fighting-type Garchomp ultimately won the battle against Garchomp using a desperate move, it was a very close call.

If this Garchomp had learned Fire-type moves using a TM, it would have been defeated long ago and wouldn't have had a chance to use the intermediate move "Cure the Dilemma".

After making his choice, Li Huowang immediately took advantage of the opportunity provided by the system.

Before long, Li Huowang had a lot more information in his mind.

His eyes lit up, and he clenched his fists excitedly.

"Success! Garchomp has been bound to the Silver Wolf Envoy in the Honkai Dome Railway."

Garchomp already had decent overall stats, and with the Blessed Fate buff, its defense, speed, and combat power were all significantly boosted.

Of course, what Li Huowang valued most was the silver wolf's special skills and its flaws.

Using the Flaw Special Skill can reduce the opponent's attack power by 10.0%, defense power by 8.0%, and speed by 9176.0%.

Moreover, this state will last for three rounds, and after launching an attack, the damage suffered by the enemy will be tripled or more!

Li Huowang was very satisfied with the destiny and traits he had chosen.

With the Void Fate Bound, dealing with the Water Vein Gym will be much easier.

However, before doing so, Li Huowang still needed to make some preparations.

Garchomp is a Fire/Ground type, but so far it has only learned Ground-type Pokémon from this guy and hasn't learned any Fire-type moves yet.

Furthermore, the attack moves of ground-type characters are relatively limited.

So the next step is to improve Garchomp's attack power.

The Water Vein Gym is quite difficult. It's a steel building with a complex structure, and there's a gym leader guarding it at regular intervals.

You need to defeat all the gym members, find the Waterway Gym Leader Wintermelon, and defeat him.

Without thorough preparation, Li Huowang would not easily enter.

After packing his things, Li Huowang headed southwest towards Shuimai City.

Now that we've arrived near Watervein City, we should naturally go and see what the city is like.

Watervein City was once said to be a huge trading center, frequented by merchants from all over the world, and the city's buildings were filled with exoticism and foreign cultures.

It is now considered a tourist attraction in the Sinnoh region.

Li Huowang is still looking forward to it.

Traveling along the way with frequent stops, Li Huowang passed through a grove of trees as he entered the edge of Water Vein City.

Upon arriving here, he deliberately slowed down considerably.

Strange sounds came from the depths of the forest, which should have been quiet.

Following the sound, Li Huowang ran over to investigate.

Surprisingly, next to a large tree, they saw another elf, Heracross.

Heracross is a Fighting/Flying type Pokémon with a base stat total of 500.

Li Huowang was not surprised to encounter a Heracross here.

Hercules loves sweet scents, enjoys drinking tree sap, and dislikes being disturbed.

When disturbed, this guy will immediately launch an attack (adbi).

Hercules is currently searching for tree sap, and Li Huowang hasn't gotten too close yet, so he hasn't been discovered.

Li Huowang first hid in the shadows and used the system to spy on the Heracross in front of him.

Heracross

Level: lv.30.

Racial stats: 500.

Personality trait: Vigilant.

"This is really a great opportunity!"

Li Huowang smiled slowly. Not long ago, he had captured Garchomp and bound it to the power of destiny, giving it the traits of a silver wolf. He could use Heracross to level up.

Li Huowang took out a Super Ball and summoned Garchomp.

After taking the healing medicine and binding with the power of destiny, Garchomp's injuries from its previous battle with Garchomp have been completely healed.

Li Huowang first had it use a ground-type move, Stomp.

Bang bang bang!

The Fighting/Flying type Pokémon Heracross, which was still searching for food, was startled. It hates being disturbed when it's looking for tree sap, let alone being ambushed. Caught off guard, its health was almost depleted.

Heracross instantly became enraged and used a move called Double Payback.

Double Payback, as the name suggests, means returning double the damage you received from the opponent's attack.

After one round, Garchomp loses twice the amount of health it loses after being hit once.

However, Li Huowang was not flustered.

Garchomp's base stats are much higher than Heracross's, not to mention that Garchomp is also bound to Fate Power. There is no doubt that his Garchomp will win this battle.

After giving Garchomp a healing potion, Li Huowang continued to command the battle.

In this round, he used a Ground-type defensive move, Sandstorm.

The sandstorm not only increases defense, but also allows you to continuously attack your opponent using the surrounding rocks for five rounds, causing continuous damage.

Simultaneously, combine physical attack moves, such as impact, by rapidly ramming the opponent with the entire body.

268. Upgrade successful! Learned a new skill!

Boom boom boom——

Heracross reacted quickly, using his flight skill, Swallow Push, to counterattack.

Dodge the rock attacks with agility, then unleash a slash.

However, due to the sandstorm's properties, Garchomp gains increased defense, and with its sustained attacks, Heracross's move is significantly weakened.

After one round, its health dropped more than Garchomp's.

Seeing that the battle was gradually turning against him, Heracross changed his moves, using a Fighting-type attack to push forward.

Push your opponent hard with your outstretched arms and launch a series of attacks.

Li Huowang's lips curled into a disdainful smile. The Fighting-type skill, Thrust, was a close-range attack, which gave him just the right opportunity to shine.

"Garuda, crush!"

Garchomp immediately opened its mouth and bit Heracross's head, instantly subduing him.

Heracross retaliated, using a double whammy.

Garchomp suffered double the damage from its own attacks and had to temporarily stop.

After this round, its health dropped to half.

Li Huowang calmly took out a potion to replenish health, and Garchomp quickly recovered.

Heracross escaped unscathed, but seemingly realizing the situation was dire, he turned and used a Flying-type move to flee.

"Trying to run? Too late!"

Li Huowang was naturally unwilling to let the duck he was about to catch fly away.

Without any hesitation, he immediately ordered Garchomp to use its special move.

This is the first time Garchomp has used this ability since it fused with the power of Destiny and acquired Silver Wolf's special ability.

"Let me see how powerful it is!"

"Garuda, use Dragon Claw!"

Garchomp moved swiftly and grabbed Heracross in one go.

Li Huowang seized the opportunity to use his special skill: Flaw.

After hitting, the opponent's speed decreases, and the damage value increases by 3%.

Heracross was subdued again, and Garchomp launched a Dragon Claw attack, reducing its health to the lowest point after one round.

The "Endure" skill is also considered Heracross's special ability. It is used when his health is down to 1, and it is a way to save his life.

However, once used, it cannot be used continuously for a short period of time.

Li Huowang had Garchomp use its attack skill again. After one ramming attack, Heracross's special move was indeed useless, and it was completely defeated.

[System Message]: Garchomp defeated Heracross, leveled up, and learned a new move, Rock Blockade.

Li Huowang smiled with satisfaction and immediately opened the information sheet to check.

Garchomp

Level: lv.65.

Racial stats: 600.

Personality trait: Malice.

The newly learned skill, Rock Blockade, involves throwing rocks to attack, freezing the opponent's movement and reducing their speed!

This skill is a little lacking and does not meet Li Huowang's requirements.

"I wish I could learn fire-type skills or lightning-type skills."

Garchomp is a Dragon and Fire-type Pokémon, but it can also learn Thunder-type moves, although that's quite rare.

Most Garchomps haven't learned any Thunder-type moves.

However, Li Huowang was willing to give it a try.

He currently possesses quite a few Thunder-type move learners, but none of them are ones that Garchomp can learn.

Garchomp can only learn one lightning move, Thunder Fang, which paralyzes the opponent with lightning while biting them, lowering their defense and attack. Its effect is doubled when used in conjunction with Crunch.

···Requesting flowers·········

However, to obtain the TM for Thunder Fang, you need to go to Route 15, which is quite far.

After thinking about it for a moment, Li Huowang finally gave up on going to Route 15.

He actually prefers Garchomp to learn Fire-type moves sooner rather than Thunder Fang.

Garchomp has a fairly large number of Fire-type moves it can learn, which is the most important thing.

As for the Thunder Fang move, Garchomp may learn it on its own after leveling up in later challenges.

With this in mind, Li Huowang composed himself and set off again.

.................

The forest was vast, and Li Huowang, carrying his Pokédex, walked slowly, as if taking a stroll.

He was actually searching for elves, but unfortunately, the journey ended quickly, and he didn't encounter a single elf.

"It seems we won't encounter any more Pokémon before entering Canal City."

Li Huowang was a little disappointed. He had originally planned to find some Pokémon to train with, but unfortunately, that wish was not fulfilled.

However, there is a dock in Watervein City where you can take a boat to Steel Island.

Steel Island has many trainers and Pokémon, and the Pokémon are all level 30 and above, making it a good place to level up.

He can go there and try his luck.
