Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

However, the pressure brought by concentrated mental energy is ultimately not a form of intimidation, and for Pogaman, who has a very strong sense of self-esteem, this behavior is undoubtedly unacceptable.

Its eyes blazed with fury.

It wasn't this angry even when it couldn't attack Yukidouji.

Tetsuya attacked first: "Pogaman, use Water Play."

"provocative."

Under Bogarman's angry gaze, Sneasel raised one of its paws with a disdainful smile and beckoned it towards him.

"Poga!"

When Bogarman's emotions reached a breaking point, under the effect of the taunt skill, he not only failed to use Water Play, but the water gun he sprayed also appeared extremely messy.

Niu La simply twisted its body and dodged away.

A cunning glint flashed in its eyes.

"Calm down, Bogarman."

Tetsuya's light shout had no effect.

Uncle Liu's provocative move had an unexpectedly good effect.

"A flash of lightning, followed by a metal claw."

With a powerful push off the ground, Sneasel transformed into a streak of white light and charged toward Piplup.

"Tear"

Its claws crossed and swung, leaving several deep wounds on Pogaman's body.

"Boga"

The intense pain temporarily pulled Bogarman out of his anger.

Immediately afterwards, everything went black before its eyes.

The Sneasel, which came from the rear and launched a series of grab attacks, caused considerable damage to Piplup.

Extending its sharp claws in a provocative gesture towards Tetsuya, Sneasel scrambled up a nearby ice pillar.

Zhe silently withdrew the Pogaman.

The little guy still needs to learn more in many areas.

This personality trait, in particular, is a double-edged sword.

"Then I'll leave the rest to you, Ice Vulpix."

"Keio"

The snow-white Ice Vulpix stood gracefully on the ice.

"Alolan Vulpix, that's quite a rare Ice-type Pokémon."

Liu Bo's sharp gaze softened considerably.

His love for ice-type Pokémon is beyond compare.

Sneasel sat atop the ice pillar, staring blankly at the beautiful Vulpix below.

Its long, slender left ear undoubtedly indicates that it is male.

"Bent on it"

The niu stretched out its claws and covered its chest; it felt like it was in love.

"Ice Vulpix, use Charm."

Tetsuya keenly grasped this point.

He gave instructions with a smile on his face.

This can be considered an example of giving someone a taste of their own medicine.

Just now, Liu Bo used Bogarman's anger to provoke him and instantly defeated him. Now, Tetsuya can naturally use Sneasel's affection to charm him.

The Ice Vulpix sat obediently on the ice, its large eyes looking up at the Sneasel high above, as if brimming with water.

"Keio"

With a soft cry from the little guy, a pink energy enveloped Sneasel's body.

Chapter 449 Frozen Badge

"Hiss~~"

Niu La let out a hesitant cry, and its entire body immediately relaxed.

In this situation, its aggression and attack power decrease significantly.

Tetsuya's face was full of smiles: "Press the attack and use Charm!"

Ice Sixtails adjusted its posture again, its cloud-like tail swaying gently.

As the pink hearts flickered, Sneasel scrambled down from the top of the icicle in a flash.

His originally fierce eyes had turned into the shape of a heart.

It circled around the Ice Vulpix, completely ignoring the Ice Vulpix's arrogant attitude of disdainfully refusing to talk to it.

Uncle Liu frowned and called out to it several times, but it couldn't bring it back to consciousness.

Aunt Sima explained, "It seems like this child has reached the age where he should be looking for a partner; he's been quite active lately."

Although the trainer is Uncle Liu, it is Aunt Sima who has been raising and caring for the Gym Pokémon.

Therefore, she was very aware of the changes in these children.

As members of the same single-type land-based egg group, Vulpix's charm was unprecedented in Sneasel's eyes, not to mention that the two Pokémon's attributes were also quite compatible.

Using tactics like being coquettish and charming is quite unique.

The extent of its effect depends not only on its strength, but more on the charm of the Pokémon itself.

Furthermore, differences in race, egg group, and attributes will all affect the final skill's effect.

For example, if you use Charm on a Zangoose Slash, the Charm effect will probably be minimal, and the snake will likely attack even more fiercely.

Of course, generally speaking, the stronger the Pokémon, the more attractive it is.

It's not just because of instinctive choices, but also because the elf's fur, mental state, and other aspects change as it grows stronger.

Every champion-level Pokémon is in perfect physical condition.

However, this is not absolute.

The simplest example is the Pokémon raised by a typical novice trainer.

Even if he is stronger, his charm as a Pokémon may not be able to compare with the charm of some little guys carefully raised by breeders.

Even if the former were to take on two or even three opponents, the latter could still do so.

This has led to the holding of many beauty pageants in the world of elves, where the judging criteria are based on the charm of an elf itself.

Anyway, Zhe didn't understand how those referees judged the charm of elves from a human perspective.

But judging from the results, they did a pretty good job.

Back to the gym battle.

First, she acted cute, then she charmed him; this combination of skills made the "young" Sneasel completely fall at the feet of the Ice Vulpix.

It ignored Liu Bo's calls.

The Ice Vulpix disgustedly smeared ice cubes on Sneasel's face.

It never expected that this ugly guy on the other side would stick to it so desperately.

That's right. Although Sneasel thinks Vulpix is ​​very beautiful, or rather, Vulpix is ​​very attractive to most Pokémon, conversely, in Vulpix's eyes, Sneasel is really not good-looking.

It's probably due to the temperament issues caused by Sneasel's evil nature.

From Tetsuya's perspective as a trainer, this Sneasel from the Kaji Gym is quite cool.

Its fur is very smooth, its claws are sharp enough, the yellow jewels on its forehead and chest are dazzling, and the three red hairs on its tail are long and beautiful.

In every respect, this demonstrates that Aunt Sima was an exceptionally talented breeder.

"Sigh"

Instead of getting angry at Six-Tails' practice of smearing ice on its face to keep its distance, Sneasel, who was in a daze, twitched its nose like a pervert and occasionally stuck out its tongue to lick the ice.

Uncle Liu's lips twitched involuntarily.

He couldn't remember the last time he had been this humiliated.

"Cough cough."

Tetsuya coughed awkwardly.

This Sneasa has some rather peculiar hobbies.

Although many Ice-type Pokémon feed on ice and snow, most of them are naturally formed. Licking ice blocks formed from energy is somewhat abnormal.

“Your Ice Vulpix has the scent of that old guy from the North.”

Liu Bo stared at the Ice Six-Tailed Fox for a moment, then made a startling remark.

"Yes, I met it once during a mission for the Alliance. The Ice Six-Tails absorbed the Transparent Chiffon from it."

Surprised, Tetsuya nodded in response to Uncle Liu.

He wasn't surprised that Liu Bo knew about the frozen birds on White Snow Mountain.

With the two so close together, it would be strange if Articuno didn't notice.

The key point is that Liu Bo could tell from his naked eye and senses that the Ice Vulpix carried the aura of Articuno, which is the most exaggerated thing.

Aunt Sima chimed in, "Articuno, that guy hasn't been here in ages. All he does is fly around all day, never comes down for a bite to eat before he leaves."

Her tone was not without complaint.

Sure enough, this multi-talented Aunt Xima was no ordinary person.

When talking about Articuno, she described the legendary Pokémon no differently than any other Pokémon.

"However, that guy's energy is very attractive to Ice-type Pokémon, no wonder Sneasel is so obsessed with it."

Aunt Xima said with a smile.

She also revealed another reason for Nyx Asura's current state.

Even if the Ice Vulpix is ​​beautiful and the Sneasel is restless, it shouldn't fall into such a state of fascination so easily after being carefully nurtured.

The key point is that Vulpix is ​​still in the process of absorbing the transparent chiffon from Articuno these days.

The overflowing energy fluctuations became the final catalyst.

None of them had a good solution to this.

Three minutes later, Aunt Sima decisively raised the flag in her hand.

"Sneasel loses its will to fight, and Vulpix wins."

"Keio"

After enduring three minutes of torture, the Ice Vulpix finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It looked to its elderly father for help.

"Come back, Vulpix, thank you for your hard work."

Tetsuya took out his Poké Ball and recalled Vulpix, while also comforting the withdrawn Vulpix.

He never expected the plot to develop this way.

In all this time of travel, I've only seen a few matches where a player is judged to have lost due to a special abnormal condition.

It looks like I'll definitely get a few scratches from the Ice Vulpix when I get back.

As soon as the Ice Vulpix disappeared, Sneasel immediately returned to normal.

"Hiss!"
