Dawn of Pokémon

(Revised on 2018.10.17)

The end of the year and the beginning of winter.

South of Zhenxin Town, behind the mountain jungle.

The four-legged beast dressed in purple breathed out menacingly, and rushed forward with the smoke kicked up by its steps.

"——Charmander, metal claw."

Concise words came from the mouth of the human in white.

The orange baby dragon, which was a full head taller than half a year ago, skillfully waved its claws, and the metallic silver claws collided with Nidorino's hard horns.

After a moment of stalemate, Charmander suddenly exerted his force and bounced Nidorino back to the original place. He also stopped and took a step back, spraying out a bunch of small sparks full of fighting spirit.

The seasons flow, and the scorching sun of midsummer gradually turns into the warm sunshine of early winter.In the past six months, Charmander has changed from the immature appearance of a newborn baby.

Not only has his height reached the standard 0.6m, but his strength has also gradually grown.After mastering some relatively practical advanced moves, his combat effectiveness has become quite reliable.

However, his personality is still the same, simple, lively and approachable.Many times, if Youyan hadn't been there, Xiaoye would have been worried that Charmander would be abducted by the Pokémon in the back mountain.

Perhaps due to its fire nature, Charmander is very keen on fighting. Its aggressive nature can be seen from the fact that it wanted to try to fight a horned rhinoceros shortly after it was born.Therefore, Xiaoye often takes it to compete with nearby wild Pokémon.

From being beaten by a unicorn bug at the beginning to being basically invincible now, we can see how much earth-shaking growth Charmander has experienced.

Of course, opponents of the level of the Rhinoceros are not something that the current Charmander can deal with.Not only is there a huge gap in power, but the attributes are also restrained. Probably only after the Charmander evolves into a Fire Dinosaur and its strength increases explosively can it be qualified to fight.

The corner collision didn't work, Nidorino regained his footing and unleashed a handful of poisonous needles.The thin purple needle glows with cold light. If it is touched, it will not be as simple as pain. It may even cause poisoning.

Without Xiaoye's instructions, Charmander had already responded - jumping back to get out of the poisonous needle's range, then turning around and running around to the right.Nidorino's poisonous needle also swept away, and this time Charmander chose to face it head-on.

When the fine poisonous needles struck, the orange baby dragon made a mistake in its steps, bringing up a few afterimages and passing between the poisonous needles perfectly.

——If the horned rhinoceros was here, it would definitely be silently complaining. This is clearly Xiaoye's usual posture to avoid her own sharp stone attack.

Trainers have always been the first targets for new Pokémon to imitate.Perhaps due to often watching Saya and Rhinoceros fight, Charmander unconsciously copied the trainer's own habits when fighting.From Charmander, Xiaoye's fighting style can be clearly seen - high speed and fast attack.

Xiaoye's greatest strength is speed and dodge, and she is indeed deliberately training Charmander's speed - as an experienced person with half of the combat field, Xiaoye knows best how important speed is in battle, especially when the strength of her partner and the When the body has not yet grown up.Under Xiaoye's influence, Charmander gradually developed this fighting method with high speed as the core and attack as the auxiliary.

With Charmander's current skill, he could successfully dodge attacks from most wild Pokémon. Pokémon like Nidorino in front of him, which was not known for its attack speed, could easily dodge the moves it made.

However, if the opponent is a Pokémon commanded by a trainer and has extensive combat experience, it will not be so smooth.For example, in the little sparring session with Yan a few days ago - Charmander cried and said that Yan's big character exploded as fast as a fireball, and he didn't even have time to react before he was burned into a braised Charmander.

After dodging the poisonous needle, the distance between Charmander and Nidorino was only two body lengths.The little purple guy reacted smartly, stopped releasing the poisonous needle, jumped up, and kicked towards the Charmander with his strong legs.

Double kick!

The feet glowing with white light rushed straight towards the door, Charmander's movements were still calm.He spat out gray-black smoke from his mouth, disrupting the opponent's sight and ducking to the left to avoid the impact of the two consecutive kicks.

Orange flames appeared in the palm of his hand, and then strands wrapped around Charmander's right fist.Although the smoke screen blocks the line of sight, the approximate location of the opponent can be determined by hearing alone.

Shoulder withdrawal, lunge, standard and powerful posture.Fire fist!

The fist struck out, and as expected, there was a solid touch and Nidorino's cry of pain.The distance between the two sides was so close that there was almost no chance of a missed move.

The Flame Fist technique was not taught by Yan, but was learned by Charmander unintentionally.During the long period of watching the battle, the scene of Xiao Ye's fight with the Rhinoceros left a deep impression on Charmander. The little guy often imitated Xiao Ye's way of punching and kicking.

Under the guidance of Xiao Ye, who specializes in close combat, Charmander learned the basic skills of fighting so well that he could deal with some relatively weak wild Pokémon with just his fists and kicks.The Flame Fist is a move that can only be mastered after practicing the close combat movements.

With one punch hitting the target, Charmander jumped two steps back and exited the smoke-covered area, excitedly waving the small flame in his hand that was not extinguished.

With the Nidorino clan's relatively poor physical strength, just one fire punch would not cause them to lose their fighting ability.Charmander did not relax his vigilance and stared closely at the fading smoke mass.

Nidorino did not rush out immediately, and there was a faint flash of blue in the gray-black smoke.Charmander didn't seem to notice the fleeting blue light, but Xiaoye didn't miss this small detail.

Could it be that?

Xiaoye, who thought of some possibility, immediately ordered, "Charmander, jump!"

The orange baby dragon immediately took off with all his strength without hesitation.Although he didn't understand the purpose of Xiaoye's instruction at all, Charmander always had [-]% trust in Xiaoye - the master's instructions were always much more useful than its own random fights.

The next second, Charmander understood the purpose of this instruction.

The rough water waves surged out from the smoke-shrouded area and spread around in circles. The weeds and shrubs on the ground turned into broken branches and leaves under the impact of the water waves.

——The fluctuation of water.

The Nidoking clan has always been known for the rich attributes of its moves. Even though it is just a wild Nidorino, it is not surprising that it has learned relatively simple moves like Water Wave.

Continuous waves of water continued to pile up. Even if the Charmander took off at the most suitable time while wiping the water, it could not stay in the air for a long time. The moment it landed, it was hit by the last wave of water.

The little purple beast walked out of the smoke calmly.Water Wave is its favorite move, and it finally found a perfect opportunity to use it.Although most of them were dodged, the opponent was a fire type after all, so if he was hit by a water type move, he would be seriously injured——

……Um?

Looking at the slightly embarrassed but still energetic Charmander in front of him, Nidorino couldn't understand the situation.
