Pokémon, Dragon Dance Round Shark

Pokémon...it's amazing, isn't it?

Of course, the more shameless thing would be to copy and paste a three-mouse, make some minor changes, and then name it "sea mole".

And then they had the audacity to bring up the theory of 'convergent evolution' and deny that this Sankai Dishu is a poor copy of Sankai Dishu by Game Freak.

The explosion of our company is inevitable.

No matter what, the attribute advantage in this battle is still mine.

Bai Mingyao only needs to continue to command Tiremeow to attack head-on and use damage moves that have attribute restraint.

"Tire, meow, keep using 'Falling Flowers'!"

Miaoha's 'Death Lotus' is going to be played over and over again.

"Sanhai Dishu, -- use 'Life-threatening'!"

"Chi chi chi chi chi!"

“Meowha?! [○?｀Д′? ○].”

At Uncle Haidai's command, the three sea shrews squirmed rapidly and pounced on Dire Miao. The three pink heads and bodies squirmed madly, ready to fight a life-and-death battle with Dire Miao...

'Fighting for Life', a simple and brutal life-threatening attack.

Attack the opponent desperately. Although you will immediately fall into unconsciousness and lose the ability to fight, you will inflict damage to the opponent equal to your current HP.

A common life-threatening fighter is the Abandoned Monkey, who has a lot of health and is not afraid of death.

There are also faster Mook eagles that are used as "exchange pieces" and are nicknamed "hairstyle birds" and "life-threatening eagles".

The effect of this skill is obvious, there is nothing complicated about it.

As soon as we met, we started fighting and that was it.

Generally speaking, you can get a worst-case one-for-one effect.

If you are not a Ghost-type Pokémon that is immune to the damage of this skill, you will be really helpless when faced with such an emergency.

Forced one-for-one exchange.

It is simply the completely unreasonable words of the God Guan Yu: -----'Who will go with me'? !

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

"Tsk..."

Bai Mingyao couldn't help but smack his lips. The Pokémon Tritrix is ​​relatively new and its strength is not particularly outstanding.

Apart from the fact that it looks very much like the Three Rat, there aren't any other special features or gimmicks.

Therefore, he actually knew nothing about the tactics and fighting style of this Pokémon.

The result was unexpected. Uncle Haidai's three sea rats took away Tiremeow in a "life-threatening" attack.

If you predict it in advance, read it first and predict this operation.

Emmmmm...

It seems that Bai Mingyao still doesn't have much room for maneuver.

The best countermeasure against "Life-threatening" is to use "Ghost-type" Pokémon that are immune to "Fighting-type" skills and moves to resist.

However, Bai Mingyao has not yet cultivated any "Ghost-type" Pokémon, nor has he crystallized any "Ghost-type" Pokémon.

The result was that this Pokémon battle, with Bai Mingyao not having any response strategy, turned into a simple and crude 'forced one-for-one' between Diglett and Meowth.

Due to the properties of the Three Seas Rat, it is at a disadvantage when facing Tiremeow.

So let it fight for its life and succeed.

Overall, Uncle Haidai managed to steal a small point.

"Sankai Diglett and Diremew have both lost their ability to fight. Pokémon trainers on both sides, please send out the next Pokémon within the 30-second countdown."

The referee of the Glass Bottle Gym immediately announced the verdict.

If there are more desperate Pokémon trainers, they will bring multiple Pokémon that are "faster" and have high health and have learned to "fight for their lives".

Pokémon battles...maybe they will become simpler and more brutal.

Go get a Pokémon and risk your life?

There should be no Pokémon trainer, Pokémon breeding ideas, and fighting methods that are so crazy.

This is no different from breeding a bunch of Pokémon that can make "big explosions", such as Forritos, Rhydon, Metagross, Steelix, etc., turning Pokémon battles into "art", and "art is explosion", and Pokémon trainers with the same big heart are no different.

What we are saying is, just be a human being and do some good deeds.

Moves like 'Life-threatening' and 'Big Bang' are fine to use occasionally as a surprise move.

It would be a bit inhumane to specially breed 6 Pokémon and let them all learn "Life-threatening" and "Big Bang".

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

"Finally I've managed to defeat that tricky Grass-type Pokémon. You're next, Shrimp!"

Mr. Haidai’s third Pokémon is a bit like the Soldier Lobster, a relative of the Ironclaw Lobster, the Steel Cannon Arm Lobster.

The right arm of the steel-arm shrimp is very firm and plump, and its body is huge. The giant claws that fall off are sold as top-quality food ingredients to many overseas alliance regions.

The difference between these two types of lobsters is that one is a red lobster and the other is a blue lobster, right?!

Bai Mingyao had no idea which lobster was more expensive or which crab claw had more delicious meat.

Since he had never eaten this, he had never specifically learned about the market conditions.

Anyway...

This Pokémon battle seems to have really become a "feast" for water Pokémon.

Aquatic Pokémon, each one looks damn delicious.

------"Pokémon on the Tip of the Tongue"?

No, no, no, this is really too cult.

However, Pokémon such as Pikachu, Charmander, Bulbasaur, Eevee, Ralts, Kirlia, etc. are more like companions, friends and pets of humans, and there is really no need to eat them.

There is no need to deny the deliciousness and edible value of Pokémon dishes such as the hairy cliff crab, cannon shrimp, victorious hairy crab, iron lobster, the claws of the giant crab, the meat of the light cod, the tail of Slowpoke, the giant clam, the Faroese duck, Kentaro steak, and the pork bacon.

Even in the world before Bai Mingyao traveled through time, pet cats and dogs were generally not eaten, but for animals such as cows, sheep, pigs, chickens and ducks, there were very few animal protectors who spoke up for them and opposed eating animals.

Same principle.

"Go ahead, Green Ivy Snake."

Bai Mingyao sent out his second Grass-type Pokémon.

I'm afraid that Gym Master Haidai didn't expect that Bai Mingyao actually has two 'Grass-type' Starter Pokémon. He must really like Grass Pokémon.

"Guncannon Shrimp, use 'Dragon Wave'!"

Although it is a bit of a headache, it is very common for a gym trainer who is good at a single attribute to be targeted by challengers who use attribute restraint.

Haidai had no choice but to bite the bullet and let the Steel Cannon Shrimp attack.

With giant crab claws on its hands, like a turret, the Cannon Shrimp possesses a powerful characteristic, ----- [Super Launcher].

It can increase the power of all 'wave-type' moves by 50%.

“Ah ...

The super launcher on the Steel Cannon Arm Shrimp spewed out a strong purple 'dragon-shaped' energy wave.

Its extraordinary power and movement are no less than the "Dragon Wave" used by any powerful "Dragon" Pokémon.

"Green Ivy Snake, use Leaf Storm next!"

"Shiva----!"

The Green Ivy Snake stirs up a storm of blades (leaf version) all over the sky, the violent and sharp 'Flying Leaf Storm' with fierce cutting and destructive power, and the 'Dragon Wave' spewed out from the super launcher on the Steel Cannon Arm Shrimp's hand.

The fight was a 50-50 one.

As for the result of the first round, both sides were tied.

But in the second round, the situation will probably be very different.

[Opposition] The characteristic is activated, and the arrogant Green Ivy Snake...is about to start killing everyone.

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

The Cannon Shrimp has its proud [Super Launcher] feature, which amplifies the power of its 'Wave-type' moves.

However, when faced with the [Opposition] feature after 'activation', the strength difference is too great.

"Green Ivy Snake, continue to use Leaf Storm!"

"Guncannon Shrimp, use your full strength 'Freeze Beam'!"

It's a pity that there aren't many 'wave-type' moves, and there isn't any 'ice-type' wave-type move that can be blessed by the [Super Launcher] feature.

However, water and ice have the same origin, and usually water-type Pokémon have a pretty good grasp of and range of ice-type skills.

“Buzz buzz buzz-----!”

The large launcher in the hand of the Steel Cannon Arm Shrimp spews out strong frosty ice light.

Freeze the vast storm of green grass that was sweeping towards it.

However, the Green Vine Snake was like an evil spirit. The power of the 'Flying Leaf Storm' was not reduced at all. Instead, it was multiplied and the power was greatly increased.

In the end, the Steel Cannon Shrimp's [Super Launcher] had sprayed out not even the last drop of...energy.

He was easily killed by the remaining flying leaf knives of the Green Vine Snake and lost his ability to fight.

To be honest, if the speed is fast enough, it would be a very easy thing for the [Opposing] Green Ivy Snake to push the team.

Admittedly, this simple and crude combat strategy is not invincible and has many shortcomings, such as 'the attack range is very general', 'the special attack ability of the Green Ivy Snake is relatively general before it is activated', 'the speed is slow', etc.

However, the attributes that Mr. Haidai is good at and the Pokémon he cultivates may not be able to overcome this shortcoming of the Green Ivy Snake.

Say one thousand, preach ten thousand.

In fact, the basis of Pokémon battles has always been "attribute restraint".

The top Pokémon trainers, in terms of tactics, Pokémon breeding, etc., have almost reached the same level, and now they are all at the same top level. ----- They still have to return to the original intention of Pokémon battles and engage in "attribute restraint" battles.

"My friend, you are well prepared. You are ready to challenge the Glass Bottle Gym."

After taking back the Steel Cannon Arm that had lost its ability to fight, Uncle Haidai, who was holding the last Pokémon Ball, shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

The attribute restraint, coupled with the tactical combination, are all restrained to the extreme.

As a gym trainer, he was destined to have a very frustrating battle, be crushed, and lose the gym battle.

"I never fight a battle unprepared."

Bai Mingyao smiled and said, "I will let my Pokémon encounter battles with favorable attributes as much as possible, so that they can have an easier time."

"As a Pokémon trainer, this is all I can do."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Mr. Haidai laughed heartily and said "good" three times in a row. "-----This is the demeanor that all young Pokémon trainers should have."

"Go ahead, my last trump card Pokémon."

"Winning hairy crab!"

Wow, another delicious seafood?? Right.

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

PS, ever since Pokémon games have become "annual products", with a main game or DLC, spin-off, or remake every year, 2024 may be a very rare year without a Pokémon work,..., it's really uncomfortable.

However, players gradually came to believe that Pokémon works had a pattern, following the regular rhythm of one year for the main game, one year for DLC, and one year for remakes/spin-offs. After a "three-year cycle", Game Freak suddenly did something and left it blank for a year.

I can only say that Game Freak is really good at driving people with symmetry obsession crazy.

Chapter 145 The Formula to Victory

The Victorious Crab is a Pokémon with the attribute combination of "Fighting" and "Ice". It lives on the snowy mountains in the cold weather, not in the water.

As a Pokémon of the same arthropod species as crabs and lobsters, Snow Crab has completely different attributes... and flavors from other Pokémon such as the Cliff Crab, Cannon Shrimp, Iron Claw Lobster, and Giant Claw Crab?
