Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

Page 485

The aluminum-steel dragon, its head tucked inside its body, displayed an expression of utter anger.

Clearly, what Tetsuya had instructed Prince Bo to do earlier had greatly displeased Aluminum Steel Dragon.

This is also a flaw in the all-metal body of the aluminum-steel dragon.

Its body has low corrosion resistance, and it is more prone to rusting once it gets wet in the rain, which will limit the Pokémon's overall strength.

Therefore, aluminum-steel dragons usually live in caves to prevent this situation from occurring.

Prince Bo's use of the Water Play skill to flood the cave was undoubtedly seen as a sign of hostility and provocation by Duraludon.

You should know that ever since it beat up that Aggron nearby, no Pokémon has dared to come here to bother it, especially since this Prince Pokémon is so weak.

The two hands of the aluminum-steel dragon, which were different in shape but fit together perfectly, suddenly came together.

The silver light flowing around its body gradually gathered in front of it.

Aluminum Steel Dragon decided to show the humans before him what the wrath of the strong truly meant.

Although the Blaziken was not weak in their first encounter, Duraludon did not believe it would lose.

Tetsuya's eyes flickered slightly: "Blaziken, Flamethrower!"

"just"

Blaziken also looked slightly displeased.

It was just a joke, but he immediately tried to attack his own trainer. That's unforgivable.

The pillar of fire and the pillar of silver light collided at a single point, producing a tremendous roar.

When the smoke cleared, neither Blaziken nor Duraludon had suffered any damage.

"Aura missile!" Tetsuya shouted immediately afterward.

On the Blaziken's right claw, a violently fluctuating deep blue orb of light grew from small to large.

With a flick of its claw, it flew away at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

The aluminum-steel dragon reacted quickly, and a transparent wall of light instantly covered its body.

"boom!"

Another loud bang.

The location where the aluminum-steel dragon stood was shrouded in thick smoke and dust.

"Bodybuilding, sword dance, high-speed movement."

Tetsuya didn't hesitate to take advantage of this time to have Blaziken buff him.

Attack increased, defense increased, attack greatly increased, speed greatly increased.

With the Speed Boost ability remaining active for several rounds, Blaziken has now barely reached its strongest form in its normal state.

"Roar"

An angry voice came from the smoke and dust.

It seems the "no harm from smoke" rule doesn't apply to aluminum steel dragons.

As the roar continued, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

The Aluminum Steel Dragon, which had retreated a considerable distance and bore obvious signs of injury, appeared before Tetsuya.

Despite using Light Screen to significantly weaken Aura Sphere's power, the Steel/Dragon typing makes Duraludon practically defenseless against Fighting-types.

Even after the increase and decrease, the damage it suffered was still considerable.

Just as Aluminum Steel Dragon was about to retaliate, Tetsuya's command rang out again: "Charge forward, use Brick Break and Double Kick."

"just"

The Blaziken vanished from its spot in an instant.

The experienced aluminum-steel dragon immediately sensed something was wrong.

This provocative opponent seems to have something going for him.

It opened its massive mouth and emitted an incredibly piercing sound: "Zzzzz—"

An unpleasant sound, like metal scraping against metal, echoed nearby, and Zhe involuntarily covered his ears.

Blaziken also stopped moving and revealed its form not far from Duraludon.

The look of pain on its face flashed by in an instant.

Upon seeing this, the aluminum-steel dragon stopped making a piercing noise, and a blue-purple energy fluctuation immediately appeared in its mouth.

After a brief period of charging, it unleashed its power without hesitation.

"Splitter it, then keep attacking."

Tetsuya was not afraid at all and commanded Blaziken to charge straight in.

Having recovered from its chest tightness, dizziness, and irritability, Blaziken slightly turned to the side, and a dazzling white light appeared on its claws.

"Down!"

The blue-purple shockwave was cleaved in two by Blaziken's claws as if it were a physical object.

The remaining impact swept past Blaziken's sides and struck the ground, causing ripples.

The next moment, Blaziken, which was already very close, appeared right next to Duraludon.

It swung its legs violently.

"Clang~"

The sound of metal clashing rang out again.

With lightning speed, the Aluminum Steel Dragon covered its tail with steel-type energy to enhance its defense, and at the same time, it actively brought its tail forward.

This action significantly reduced the effectiveness of Blaziken's attack.

But this will only happen once.

Blaziken, in close combat, perfectly demonstrated its superb fighting skills by combining its attack and speed abilities.

Seeing how hard the tail was, it decisively twisted its waist and suddenly raised its other leg, which was originally going to kick the other's tail.

"Boom"

The aluminum-steel dragon, which was kicked in the head, fell to its side on the ground.

Before it could even get up, Blaziken lowered its center of gravity and launched a furious attack with its two legs at an imperceptible speed.

The aluminum-steel dragon, which was not small and could even be described as huge, was being kicked around like a ball and kept retreating.

Even in this state, the aluminum steel dragon did not stop resisting.

Its hands, gleaming with a silvery sheen, swung around continuously, occasionally inflicting a little damage on Blaziken.

"boom"

Before long, the Duraludon was kicked by Blaziken onto the rock wall next to the entrance of its cave.

"Big characters burst into flames!"

Tetsuya's voice came from afar.

As Blaziken leaped back to create some distance, its mouth immediately opened wide.

A large, flame-burning Chinese character grows larger and larger as it approaches the aluminum-steel dragon, whose physical strength is nearing its limit.

The aluminum-steel dragon was slammed against the rock wall by the blazing flames, unable to move. The silvery-white metal even had a slight reddish tinge.

When the Flame Burst disappeared into the air due to exhaustion, Duraludon could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.

"Well done."

Tetsuya walked over to Blaziken and patted it on the shoulder with satisfaction.

Blaziken maintained a dominant position against the Champion-level Steelix.

This isn't just a matter of natural talent; it's more due to Blaziken's hard work and dedication, which makes it incredibly powerful in every aspect.

Otherwise, a normally developed champion-quality Pokémon, while strong at the Elite Four level, would only be strong to a limited extent.

"Down"

Blaziken responded to Tetsuya, panting.

It's unrealistic to say there's absolutely no consumption.

However, the damage was more due to the stress that the status skills put on his body than the damage caused by the Duraludon.

"Boga"

Prince Bo approached Blaziken with a longing look on his face.

That's right, that's the power; it's incredibly strong.

It desperately wants to become as powerful as a Blaziken.

Then you can properly beat up the trainer who teases you every day.

"Xia Mo Xia Mo"

When Blaziken saw its junior asking questions, it immediately adjusted its breathing, put its hands on its hips, and pretended to be indifferent.

"This elf is so-so, you know? Its strength is just so-so to me."

"The main reason is that I used up some energy in the afternoon's battle; otherwise, I could have defeated it without even breaking a sweat."

Blaziken didn't shy away from boasting about itself.

Prince Bo's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Tetsuya rolled his eyes, too lazy to expose Blaziken, and instead walked over to Duraludon to observe it carefully.

He wasn't worried about the aluminum steel dragon recovering its strength and attacking him.

Because after being defeated, the proud nature of Dragon-type Pokémon would prevent the opponent from taking such action.

Tetsuya had no intention of subduing the Aluminum Steel Dragon.

Although, like Dialga, which is known as the "little steel dragon", Duraludon is also quite strong in terms of "shield" due to its type advantage.

However, the problem is that the aluminum steel dragon's release of certain skills is rather lacking in aesthetics.

If it were a quadruped like the Giant Rock Monster, that would be one thing, but it also requires it to lie down while standing upright on both legs to unleash its skills.

It's not that Tetsuya said anything, but its arch-nemesis Tyranitar seemed much more formidable.

The aluminum-steel dragon slowly awoke.

As a Dragon-type Pokémon, it has a pretty good recovery speed.

Although they cannot fight, normal communication and actions are not a problem.

As soon as I opened my eyes, a human came into view.

“┗|｀O′|┛Aww~~”

It was startled.

Tetsuya was also startled by the sudden shout.

He patted the aluminum-steel dragon's body impatiently: "Don't yell, I have something to ask you."

The aluminum-steel dragon blinked, immediately wanting to angrily teach this human a lesson.

The fiery energy emanating from nearby immediately calmed it down.

"Ow"
