Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

Chapter 561 A brutal beating (edited in half an hour)

Tetsuya was quite familiar with the "Reverse Scale" technique.

After all, there are two dragon-type cubs in his team that are still developing.

Gible has this move in its impressive stat sheet.

It's only a matter of time before Dragapult evolves into Dragapult and masters this move.

As a trainer, he naturally needs to understand it well.

He even witnessed a super-powerful Dragonite in its out-of-range state a few months ago at the Dragon's Lair in Smoky City.

Say something.

It's really strong.

It can significantly enhance capabilities.

The side effects of the reverse scale are also extremely exaggerated.

Not only does it become disoriented and disobey its trainer's commands during use.

Furthermore, after the skill ends, the spirit will fall into a state of confusion for a considerable period of time.

If not handled carefully, it could leave serious long-term consequences for the user.

Tetsuya didn't think Yuuji was someone who didn't know his place.

"Interesting, is this your trump card?"

His eyes sparkled with curiosity.

And then Yuji gave the order.

Dragonite's entire body gradually glowed red, and its eyes changed from black to a chilling red.

"Roar--"

Compared to its initial roar, Dragonite in its Outrage state has an even more ferocious cry.

This is a sight rarely seen among their kind.

[Dragonite] (In Outrage state)

Rank: Heavenly King (Pseudo)

A flash of blue light appeared and disappeared in Tetsuya's eyes.

"He's gone from near-King level to King level? It's Yuji who's holding everyone back."

In a flash, he quickly understood the meaning of the falsehood.

To put it bluntly, the trainer's level wasn't up to par, and the Pokémon's strength was too great.

The most obvious example is the old Charizard and Ash in the future Kanto era.

However, compared to them, the combination of Yuji and Dragonite is obviously much better.

The reason for this situation is more because the former is not used to this level of combat.

The boost from the reverse scale state is ultimately no match for the power one can control.

When Pidgeon broke through to Elite Four, nothing like this happened to Tetsuya.

"Charge forward and use Lightning Fist!"

With a loud shout, Yuji swung his right fist forward fiercely.

next moment.

Dragonite transformed into a streak of red and yellow light that shone brightly in the sky above the arena.

"How is that possible!"

In the stands.

Kajiyama, like all the trainers, stood up in surprise.

Everyone can see it clearly.

Just before Dragonite launched itself, its hands were wrapped in a dense network of electric current.

It was clearly the prelude to the Thunder Fist.

Is it a coincidence?

Tetsuya narrowed his eyes.

It is a universally acknowledged fact that spirits in their reverse scale state are unruly and do not obey commands.

Otherwise, this highly effective Dragon-type move wouldn't have become a trump card for turning the tide of battle.

But what he saw before him was Dragonite using the same skill that Yuji had given the command to.

"Let's wait and see, anyway, it won't have a big impact."

However, unlike the astonished expressions of the others, Tetsuya appeared remarkably calm.

"Whoa~!—"

From the stands, gasps of amazement rose and fell among the spectators.

The two elves were nowhere to be seen on the field.

Instead, two beams of red and yellow light appeared.

The only difference is the amount of red.

"boom--"

"Cough~"

"Boom!"

Each flash of light in the sky signifies a fierce battle between two spirits.

"Is that so?"

Tetsuya, who possesses superpowers, can see many details that ordinary people cannot observe.

A few minutes later, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.

"Use the tailwind to create distance."

Tetsuya's voice rang in Pidgeot's mind for the first time since the battle began.

Yes.

Prior to this, he had never given any commands to the eagle.

Pidgeot relies entirely on its own combat experience and judgment.

Of course, the audience was unaware of this.

Since the Silver Tournament, Tetsuya has been using his superpowers to issue orders.

Aside from occasionally saying a few words, he remained unusually silent.

Not only to conceal the intention to attack, but also to put greater psychological pressure on the opponent.

Despite his great strength, Tetsuya still enjoys doing this.

Even a lion needs to use its full strength to catch a rabbit.

Besides, these opponents are not as weak as the rabbit.

"Beep—"

The sharp bird calls drew the audience's attention even closer.

They knew this meant the intensity of the battle would escalate to a new level.

The wind began to blow gradually.

"It's gone!"

Countless spectators shouted.

The light faded.

The Dragonite hidden among them hovered in the air, somewhat bewildered.

For a moment, it couldn't find any trace of its opponent.

However, the state of being resentful continues.

Under the influence of Outrage, the red-eyed Dragonite regarded the still ground as its enemy and frantically slammed its wings into the ground.

Yuji did not give meaningless commands.

With a grave expression, he searched for Pidgeot's whereabouts throughout the area.

There is none on the side.

There is nothing above.

At low altitude, still nothing.

"Where did they go??"

Before he knew it, his forehead was covered in sweat.

Looking at the somewhat bewildered Yuuji, Tetsuya shook his head.

This is the consequence of a mismatch between the trainer's and the Pokémon's strength.

Actually, Dragonite discovered Pidgeot.

Yuji simply didn't understand the meaning behind Dragonite's actions in the Outrage state.

That's why the opportunity to take immediate command was missed.

Furthermore, due to the effect of Outrage, Dragonite is unable to consistently track Pidgeot's whereabouts and relay the information to its trainer.

That's why Pidgeot seemed to have completely "disappeared" from the field.

Dragonite can see it, but Yuuji can't.

"Use tornadoes."

He silently issued the instructions.

Tornadoes are not inherently very powerful.

But it has a very peculiar attribute: dragon.

For Dragonite, which has the Dragon type, the damage of Dragon-type moves is in no way less than that of Ice-type moves.

A handsome Pidgeot appeared above the Dragonite without anyone noticing.

Looking at the Dragonite attacking the ground frantically, a hint of speechlessness flashed in the former's eyes.

The wings flapped repeatedly.

Two tornadoes suddenly rose into the sky and appeared in the field.

Before Yuji could react, Dragonite had completely disappeared.

"Roar--"

Angry roars echoed intermittently.

Occasionally, flames, lightning, and dragon-like energy can be seen breaking through the tornado's limitations and striking the surrounding area.

But under Pidgeot's control, the tornado tightly enveloped Dragonite, giving it no chance to escape.

"Speaking of which, how did you manage to do that with your Dragonite?"

Taking this opportunity, Tetsuya asked Yuji, who was in the distance, with some curiosity, "How come you can use the moves you command when you're close to him?"

Although it's limited, considering Dragonite's abilities, this is still a significant boost.

Have we been discovered?

Yuji smiled helplessly.
