Pokémon, Dragon Dance Round Shark

Bai Mingyao smiled and nodded.

Chapter 040 I want to be the champion!

To be honest, this fan friend [Emptying the Bamboo Basket to Draw Water] was a bit too polite and reserved.

Based on the amount of rewards and favors he has given to Bai Mingyao so far.

He did not kowtow to the camera and shout thank you like some of the "abstract" anchors in the world before he traveled through.

All we can say is that Bai Mingyao still has some moral integrity and he is too shameless to perform this kind of performance art in front of his fans who reward him.

----'We are good brothers, why are you being polite to your father?'

If it wasn't through the Internet, but instead we met offline and met in person.

Bai Mingyao might use the same language logic he used with his roommate Chen Lidong to deal with "drawing water from a bamboo basket in vain".

"Okay, let me show you how to use the skill 'Dragon's Voice'. I'll show you how to use it tomorrow... or the day after tomorrow. Please remember to check the result then."

Bai Mingyao left the final message.

"Okay, I'll leave first then."

After finishing the Poke-line conversation, Shirona looked at the computer screen, frowned slightly, stretched out her fair hands, and rubbed her temples with a headache.

Perhaps, the reason why he directly stated his request just now was that he wanted to know how Land Shark and Land Shark learned the "Dragon Dance" skill, or maybe he just wanted to see his Land Shark with his own eyes in an offline occasion?

But at this point, there is no time for Shirona to regret.

"It's okay, take your time... We finally found the direction, so there's no need to rush now."

"If I act too anxious, it would seem like I am someone with some special purpose. How could I, Sirona, be that kind of person?"

"It should be... right?! (guilty)"

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

Two days later, the semi-finals and finals of the 'Sprout Cup' will be held at the gymnasium of Shanghai University.

During this period of time, Bai Mingyao has been thinking about getting a second Pokémon of his own.

Having an extra Pokémon in the reserve makes Sharknado at least four times weaker to ice, which somewhat mitigates its obvious weakness.

Build a more complete tactical puzzle.

If there was only one Pokémon, Sharknado, in his Pokémon lineup, Bai Mingyao would hardly be able to use his battle strategies and skills.

In this case, Bai Mingyao's priority target for this second Pokémon is naturally the one that can help Garchomp fight against those Pokémon of the same type that it is not good at dealing with.

It's a bit confusing to say, but it's actually the relationship between "restraint" and "counter-restraint".

In a sense, just like the BP phase in League of Legends, the purpose of rotating Pokémon is to achieve counter (restraint) after the opponent has taken action.

The two attributes that can resist and counter the weakness of the Round Shark, the damage from the Ice and Fairy skills, are the Fire and Steel attributes.

That is to say...

The best rotation partner for the Sharknado should be a Pokémon with the attribute combination of 'Fire' and 'Steel',... 'Fire Steel'?!

However, there is only one Pokémon with this unique combination of attributes among the thousands of Pokémon in the Pokémon Encyclopedia.

That is, -----'The volcano beast, Xiduolan'.

Because of the exclusive combination of attributes, Xiduolan can remove this difficult-to-pronounce and hard-to-remember name and directly change it to "Fire Steel Divine Beast" without causing any ambiguity.

Although in the "Pokémon Animation" series, there was a scene where an ordinary passerby Pokémon trainer took Sildenafil to participate in what was not clear whether it was a Pokémon Contest or an ordinary Pokémon competition.

But Sildenafil is a 'Legendary Pokémon' after all, much rarer than quasi-god Pokémon like Sharknado.

Bai Mingyao should not think about including "Fire Steel Beast" in the consideration of the second Pokémon.

"It would be great if we could have a Fire-type or Water-type Pokémon, or a Water-type + Steel-type Pokémon, like Emperor Nabo."

"Speaking of the characteristics of Emperor Nabo, not long ago, it changed from [Not willing to admit defeat], which was not suitable for it, to [Competitiveness], which is more suitable for Emperor Nabo."

"Game Freak did some work, or maybe he was a fan of Hikaru and Pogamon and managed to infiltrate Game Freak and become a Pokémon game designer."

"..."

Chen Lidong was walking beside him with his phone, and when he saw Bai Mingyao talking to himself, he couldn't help but frown.

What weird things are being said!

What about Hikaru fans, Pogaman fans, and Game Freak fans? How come he doesn't understand anything about them?

"You should calm down and think carefully about how to deal with the next game, Bai Mingyao."

Chen Lidong kindly reminded.

"Although this is my first time participating in the 'Germination Cup', and I have just officially transformed into a rookie Pokémon trainer, being able to reach the semi-finals is already a success."

"But it would be great if the final result could be higher."

"What do you mean by 'reaching the semi-finals is considered a success'? How can you say such depressing words that boost others' ambitions but destroy your own prestige?"

Bai Mingyao came back to his senses and said in a deep voice.

"Since I have signed up for the 'Germination Cup' competition and chosen to embark on the path of becoming a professional Pokémon trainer, my goal from beginning to end is one and only one, and that is to become the 'champion'!"

"I am a man who wants to be a champion, quack!"

Subconsciously, Bai Mingyao said another dirty word that was full of gold.

"Oh my god, are you so confident?"

"Of course, that's the minimum."

In higher-level offline competitions, Bai Mingyao, who only had one round land shark at the time, really had no confidence.

But Bai Mingyao has no reason to be nervous about participating in this novice baby cup.

We all know that in the Pokémon games, after the protagonist receives the initial three Pokémon from the regional doctor, there will be a "fixed program" of competing with a strong rival.

Both sides are level 5 novice Pokémon, and their only skills are "catch" and "call", so it is very easy to win the battle.

The so-called "Sprout Cup" is nothing more than an enlarged version of that entry-level battle.

By the way, if you accidentally fail in a battle of such a low difficulty.

First use the transformation skill 'Call' to weaken the attack power of the rival Pokémon.

After that, use offensive skills and you can consistently win this first Pokémon battle.

Chapter 041 If all goes well, our paths will no longer cross

Most of the techniques in Pokémon battles are actually so simple, unpretentious, and... unexpectedly interesting.

Relying on your own efforts and wisdom to achieve the final victory in the battle is truly a refreshing and satisfying experience.

Of course, whether you find it interesting or boring depends on the individual.

At least Bai Mingyao still likes Pokémon very much, no matter the daily life with them.

Or is it the championship moment when we fight side by side and win the game together.

Bai Mingyao actually already has enough energy and funds to cultivate a second Pokémon to provide Sharknado with a reliable teammate.

But the problem is that ordinary Pokémon, although theoretically they can be found everywhere.

Whether in fire, water, grass or forest, whether in the land, in the clouds, or under that girl's skirt.

However, it seems that there are really no wild Pokémon that can be easily caught within the university campus.

Basically, all of them are Pokémon that have trainers.

Or maybe it's the Pokémon officially owned by the school and roaming around the campus, belonging to the school.

After leaving the Shanghai University campus, Bai Mingyao encountered a similar situation.

The nearest suburbs and forests, where wild Pokémon can be captured, are at least dozens of kilometers away.

"..."

This is probably the disadvantage of urbanization.

This place seems a bit too "urbanized". Is it okay to say such a thing?

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

A few minutes later, Bai Mingyao and Chen Lidong arrived at the gymnasium of Shanghai University.

Next, if everything goes well, perhaps their future paths will no longer intersect.

Bai Mingyao was also quite sad in his heart, lamenting the impermanence of life.

"The moment the game started, blood and passion collided, and the stage of dreams and glory began! Amid the cheers, several new Pokémon trainers of the 'Battle Type' were ready to go, marching forward bravely to win the game."

The host of the "Broadcasting Department" on the stage was reading out the opening remarks enthusiastically, while Bai Mingyao, who was sitting backstage preparing to make his debut, had mixed feelings.

Ah this......

He is not a new student of the Pokémon Battle System.

But soon, it made no difference whether it was the 'Pokémon Battle Department' or the 'Business Administration Department'.

Although it is a great thing to be able to study at the 'Orange College/Grape College' in the Padilla area.

It can solve many problems that have been bothering Bai Mingyao recently in one fell swoop.

But he also felt quite regretful to hastily say goodbye to his classmates and familiar people, and set off again to a place where he was unfamiliar with.

I don’t know whether Miss Mimosa, the school doctor, will make up her mind to go to the college in the Padya area.

In this way, their future paths will not intersect.

Instead, they continued to converge unexpectedly.

Chen Lidong: No matter how good a friend is, he still can’t resist beauty, o(╥﹏╥)o.

"In the first round of the semi-finals, the Pokémon Battle Department, Zhang Nanhai, faces the Business Administration Department, Bai Mingyao."

"Please get ready, both players. The game will begin soon."

"Come out, round land shark."

The game has already begun without us noticing.

Bai Mingyao came to his senses and sent out his Pokémon.

-----'No matter what, stay focused and win this freshman challenge first!'

"Kapu!"

The round land shark rolled in the air and jumped onto the battlefield.

Although he is not big in stature, he looks vigorous and energetic.

The rival Pokémon trainer is named Zhang Nanhai, a name that is inexplicably... but sounds somewhat familiar to Bai Mingyao.

"Come on, my Pokémon is a North Pole, please give me your guidance!"

Zhang Nanhai threw out his Poké Ball, and a Pokémon of considerable size appeared opposite the Roundland Shark.

Pokémon like Chaobei have a very interesting "Pokémon ecology".

As the name suggests, it senses the orientation of the Earth's magnetic field, thus fixing its orientation to 'North'.

In the wild, Pokémon trainers will confirm the direction by looking at wild Pokémon, which is the same principle as the ancient compass.

Although it is quite large, Chaobei is still a "baby/Pokémon" and has not degenerated into a form. Under the influence of special magnetic fields in some unique areas, it can evolve into a large Chaobei.

"Magne..."

The baby groaned, and because of the direction of the magnetic field, it turned its back to the round land shark and headed in a rather awkward position.

Now we need to 'move forward four' and start running directly.

"Roundland Shark, use Stomp!"

"Face the North Nose and use 'Harden' next!"
