Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

He vanished in a flash from the path of the water cannon.

When it reappears.

It has arrived at a position less than three meters to the right front of the Mosquito Coil Frog King.

The water bubble skill is great in every way, except that the reaction force is too great.

Even Pokémon like Blastoise, which is widely recognized as the most suitable for using Hydro Pump, find it difficult to actively control and change direction during the process.

A water cannon seen in regular combat.

In fact, many of these results are simply due to increased output from water gun attacks.

A surge of electricity coursed across Blaziken's tightly clenched claws.

The Mosquito Coil Frog King was clearly taken aback by its opponent's agility.

but.

Having lived in the wild for so long and being a guardian of a ruin, it naturally possesses considerable combat experience.

Without hesitation.

The mosquito coil frog immediately lowered its head.

The surging water flowed all over the ground at once.

The powerful impact sent the user, Mosquito Coil Frog King, flying high backward.

In an instant, it distanced itself from the Blaziken again.

"A good response."

Tetsuya nodded in agreement. "Then, let's chase after them and continue with the Thunder Fist."

It has been pulled open.

But what good is that distance?

Blaziken's speed boost ability has been pushed to its limit.

For it, it's just a matter of a few steps.

Have you ever heard of "lightweight kung fu"?

Ten meters in one step, that's terrifying.

"Swish"

This time.

Not even a fleeting afterimage appeared.

Blaziken disappeared from Poliwag's sight at lightning speed.

Dense jungle and wisps of mist.

It is the best way to completely conceal one's figure.

"Wow--"

The mosquito coil frog king keenly observed its surroundings from mid-air.

Speaking of which...

Its cry is actually quite unpleasant.

Tetsuya didn't know how some musicians managed to get inspiration for composing beautiful music from their calls.

And it was a ballad.

Perhaps musicians have ears that are different from ordinary people.

"But what about its people?"

Tetsuya frowned.

As a king, the known mosquito coil frog kings all have many underlings and subordinates.

This includes, but is not limited to, mosquito coil tadpoles, mosquito coil men, and even mosquito coil swimmers.

The single-player King-level Politoed Frog is not too difficult to deal with.

But once the power of their tribe is added, they become true overlords of the wilderness.

While pondering.

His ears twitched almost imperceptibly.

Their gazes turned to the four directions from which faint signs of battle were emanating.

"It's starting so soon? They're certainly well-prepared."

Tetsuya muttered to himself, "Then I can't delay any longer. I need to finish this quickly and go see what's going on."

He wasn't very familiar with the Fire region.

So they had no idea about any legends about mythical beasts in the vicinity.

The only thing that gives him the confidence to do this is his current strength.

It was as if it sensed the trainer's thoughts.

The Blaziken, which had been missing for about half a minute, finally reappeared.

Less than half a second.

The mosquito coil frog king, with its keen sense of its surroundings, discovered the enemy's trail.

It turned to the side, and water-based energy was gathering in its mouth.

"Fuck-"

Blaziken didn't give the opponent a chance at all.

The fists, crackling with electricity, left charred marks in the air as they struck the Mosquito Coil Frog King squarely in the face.

Faint sparks of electricity suddenly appeared all over the latter's body.

My body stiffened.

The water-based energy surging in his mouth slowly dissipated.

In this extremely humid environment, the lightning struck the Mosquito Coil Frog King first, causing it to enter a paralyzed state.

"This person's luck is even worse than mine!"

Tetsuya couldn't help but sigh.

Based on the physical attributes and energy intensity of Elite Four level Pokémon.

The probability of entering a negative state in this way is less than one percent.

If this happened during a major competition, he would definitely cheer for it.

Who says luck isn't a form of ability?

If you're so capable, why don't you try triggering it yourself?

But now.

Tetsuya felt it was at most an added bonus.

"boom--"

The mosquito coil frog's small body flew backward and crashed into a large tree behind it.

The smooth body descended little by little.

Fortunately.

The Mosquito Coil Frog King has very average abilities across the board.

I wouldn't say it's incredibly strong, but at least it won't lose its fighting ability in a single move.

Ignore the pain emanating from the charred parts of his body.

It struggled to get up from the ground.

His short arms were raised high.

The mosquito coil frog king solemnly closed its eyes and looked up at the sky, as if praying for something.

Dark clouds loomed over the nearby jungle.

The drops of water quickly turned into a torrential downpour.

Tetsuya remained calm.

A thin curtain of light covered his entire body, and he was unaffected.

"boom--"

A burst of intense flames appeared.

The already ambiguous location became even more difficult to decipher.

The Blaziken stood in the rain with a furrowed brow.

The layer of flames surrounding his body meant that he didn't expend much energy.

But this feeling is very uncomfortable.

"Perfect weather hand for rainy days."

Tetsuya crossed his arms in front of his chest.

Compared to the Great-billed Gull, which also has the characteristic of bringing rain.

The Mosquito Coil Frog King undoubtedly has a significant leading advantage in all aspects.

It's not just about ability, but also about mastering techniques and having elemental resistance.

What? Besides those two, there are also Pokémon with the ability to bring rain?

indeed.

If you can fish Kyogre out of the sea, you should have a pretty good chance of winning in battle.

of course.

The giant gull isn't without its advantages.

With the rain gauge working in conjunction with rainfall, there's no need to worry about its durability.

Sometimes, endurance alone isn't enough; you also need a certain amount of explosive power to win a battle.

"Solve it."

"Down"

The conversation between the human and the elf in the rain came to an end.

Lightning flashed across the sky, filling the entire field of vision of the Mosquito Coil Frog King.

The rain started to fall even harder.

It lasted for about five minutes.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed.

Poliwag and Snorlax, both with not a single good spot on their bodies, lay on the ground on either side of each other.

The two large pits actually have a symmetrical aesthetic.

"Down"

The Blaziken, soaking wet and panting, was receiving treatment from Serperior.

Rainy days and dry days make a big difference for water-type Pokémon.

Not to mention when the opponent is a fire-type Pokémon.

Water-type moves become more powerful, while fire-type moves become less powerful.

With this shift in balance, the difference can be significant.

The most obvious point is...
