Dawn of Pokémon

From the moment the sandstorm stopped, the battle situation on the field was completely different.The Charmander, who once again started a close combat, became more and more fierce in his attack, and the One-horned Rhino could only parry in a hurry.

The one-horned rhinoceros must never be given another chance to use Sandstorm.

Under the close combat of Charmander, the one-horned rhinoceros could no longer find an opening to use Sandstorm; horn collision, random attacks and other moves were used one after another, but it was difficult to cause obvious damage to the agile Charmander.

Dodging to avoid the impact, Charmander grabbed the one-horned rhino's tail, turned over and jumped up, and hit the one-horned rhinoceros hard on the back with its shining metal claws.

Newton, who was in pain, struggled violently, flicked his tail, and threw Charmander high into the air.

"Iron Tail." Xiaoye's instructions came at the right time.

The tip of Charmander's tail shines with silver light, and it uses the acceleration of free fall to make an attack posture. The friction between air and steel energy makes a sharp whistling sound.

"One-horned rhinoceros, stay away!" Wu Neng immediately ordered.

Although the movement of the one-horned rhinoceros is not very fast, the Charmander cannot change the direction of its attack as it wants because it is unable to exert force in the air. It is still possible to leave its original position before the Charmander falls.

The one-horned rhinoceros ran to the right, away from the Charmander's landing spot.But Charmander didn't change its offensive at all - blazing flames suddenly spurted out from the tip of its tail, and with the flick of Charmander's tail, it changed the direction of Charmander's fall like a propeller.Carrying orange-red scalding flames, its silver-gray tail struck hard at the stunned one-horned rhinoceros.

The flames ejected from the tip of the tail do not provide much recoil, and can only slightly adjust the direction for the lighter Charmander.But it is this subtle and inconspicuous force that determines the outcome of this game.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the big gray man lay unconscious among the rocks.Charmander, who was also scarred, still had bright eyes and a slightly proud smile on his face.

"The one-horned rhinoceros lost its ability to fight, and Charmander won. The winner is the challenger Xiaoye!" The referee waved the flag in his hand and made the final decision for the game.

A smile appeared on Wu Neng's serious and rigid face, and he took back the unconscious one-horned rhinoceros.

"Congratulations, you successfully passed my assessment."

"Thank you." Xiaoye smiled and thanked.

This fierce battle benefited both the two Pokémon that Xiaoye participated in a lot. This is an effect that ordinary training can never achieve - to hone the strength of trainers through high-level battles. This is probably the way the alliance was established. One of the reasons why the museum challenges the system.

Walking across the field to Xiao Ye, Wu Neng said casually, "What are you going to do if that dangerous tactic you used in the first battle fails?"

Bobo's physical strength is limited. If Xiao Fist Stone's moves are more durable, Bobo may fall down before he finds the opportunity to strike.

To this, Xiaoye's answer was very simple.

"I will challenge it again after strengthening my training."

Wu Neng was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile.

You value the growth of your Pokémon more than the results of the competition, right?This mentality is just right for newcomers in the growth stage.

Nodding, Wu Neng handed the small object in his hand to Xiaoye, "Take it, this is the certificate for defeating Nibi Gym, the gray badge."

After thanking him again, Xiaoye accepted the gym badge for the first time in her life.The production of this symbol is quite fine. The texture of the metal is cold and smooth, and the dark gray color is the same as the rock, which represents the attribute of the Nibi Gym, the rock.

Maybe I should do a pose like Xiaozhi at this time?

...No, let’s forget it.So embarrassing.

Collect the rewards you received and scan your trainer license again in the battle recorder to record the battle results.

====================

Battle result: [2:0] Victory

====================

When this paragraph of text appeared in the blank competition experience, Xiaoye put away the Pokémon illustrated book, walked to the door of the gym, and bowed to Wu Neng for the last time.

"Thank you very much for your advice."

Wu Nenghui's defeat was certainly not because he was weaker than Xiaoye, a newcomer who had just debuted.The first half of the initial small fist stone battle was quite obvious, and the one-horned rhinoceros did not fight with all its strength - because the main focus of the battle was to guide the opponent to unleash his potential, not to win or lose.

During the battle, Xiaoye really felt Wu Neng's careful observation and guidance for her.Bobo gained valuable experience in the right fierce battles. Charmander was able to perform an extraordinary attack in the sandstorm, largely due to the appropriate pressure and guidance of Wu Neng.

——So Xiaoye also sincerely expressed her gratitude.

Temper and test young trainers in battles, allowing them to find their own path and grow under the guidance of their seniors.It is precisely because of the existence of such seniors that the younger generation of trainers can continue to become stronger and rise - this is the belief and glory of the gym leader.

"Yes." Wu Neng smiled and nodded, watching Xiao Ye walk out of this cold and solemn gym.

The fast-paced confrontation of thoughts during the battle, the burning and throbbing mood, and the sense of fulfillment that gained a lot after the war.Is this... a gym battle?

Xiaoye turned around and looked carefully at the marble signboard of Nibi Gym again.

It seems great, the profession of trainer.

If the term "Pokémon Trainer" used to be just a longing for the world on the screen, now Xiaoye may have begun to like it from the bottom of her heart.

After returning to the Pokémon Center and handing the two Pokémon that participated in the battle to Miss Joy, Xiao Ye carefully looked through the rewards she received from this gym battle.

In addition to the badge, there is also a [Rock Blockade] move machine and a fixed amount of bonuses.

Obviously Wu Neng never used this move in the entire battle.

Xiao Ye complained silently in her heart, picked up the CD-shaped move machine and flipped through it.With the martial arts fighting style, maybe it would be more appropriate to give the Rock Crash move machine as a gift?

Probably because the new owner has just taken office and hasn't had time to replace the reward items in his inventory.

====================

What I'm holding now looks like an ordinary disc.Oh, what?You said this thing is called a move machine?Yes, the term is becoming more and more widely known now.

The so-called move machine, that is, the thin and fragile thing in my hand, has caused a huge shock among trainers a month ago. I am afraid that young people all over the world are paying attention to this new trendy term.You can learn the moves by touching the disc, it's relaxing and enjoyable, why not?As long as I have money, I can buy three hundred CDs and throw them all to my Slowpoke, and my beloved little baby will become a move expert overnight. (laughter)

Closer to home, it is undeniable that the invention of the move machine undoubtedly has cross-epochal significance.Being able to learn new moves in a very short time means that talented trainers can spend more energy on other training projects. Presumably, the average number of moves mastered by Pokémon around the world will also make a huge leap. .

However, how exciting this invention will make the regional league competitions is not the topic we are going to discuss today - recently, many businesses and companies have seen huge business opportunities through the launch of this thing, and came to me to inquire about the move machine. Information, and even young people talking about grandiose ambitions, to convince me to endorse this emerging product.It’s interesting. If you don’t look for a glamorous little star, why would you look for a bad old man like me? (laughter)

The basis of these so-called business opportunities and so-called bright prospects lies in whether the move machine can really enable Pokémon to learn moves without any side effects.You young people are all clamoring to try it. If you forget the trick a few months after you use it, or if your little baby ends up in the hospital somehow, will you come to me, a bad old man, to reason with you again?

Right now, the development of move machines is only in its infancy.Whether it will have a negative impact on the Pokémon's body, whether the moves learned in this way will no longer be forgotten, and whether it is better than the traditional learning method, all of this requires a large amount of experimental data to verify. .It's good for young people to have the enthusiasm to pursue new things, but I hope trainers will put the safety of their partners first.At least in the next three years, the era of optical discs will not come. (applause)

——"The Development Prospects of Move Machines and Their Social Impact"; excerpted from the speech given by [Ken Ishizuka], an academician of the Pokémon League Science Academy, at the Manjin City Academic Exchange Conference; October 956, 10 in the Elf Calendar

====================

The "move machine" is a product invented in recent times. The move information is written into the carrier's optical disc using a special band. When it comes into direct contact with the Pokémon's body, the recorded information will be transferred to the Pokémon. in your mind to achieve the effect of quickly learning moves.

The emergence of this invention shocked people in all fields of society at that time. Countless researchers and scholars conducted heated debates on its performance and its advantages and disadvantages compared with traditional methods of understanding moves. To this day, some conservatives still believe that , the moves learned through move machines lack reliability.

However, as early as more than 40 years ago, scientists have proven through a large number of experiments that move machines will not have a negative impact on Pokémon's body.The moves learned through this method may be unfamiliar for a while, but as long as you practice diligently, you can become more proficient than the moves learned through traditional methods; using a move machine can save a lot of time in learning new moves, making it easier to perform other moves more efficiently. train.

Therefore, most modern trainers have accepted the existence of move machines as a matter of course. This product has long been as popular as Poké Balls all over the world, and moves can be seen for sale in stores large and small. machine.

Of course, compared to the red and white balls that cost 200 Elf Coins, the price of the move machine is quite high. Even the most common move machine 15 [Destruction of Light] usually costs 7500 Elf Coins.For Xiao Ye, who has no financial assistance from relatives and only relies on the alliance's guarantee money, such high-priced props are really hard to come by.

Most of the move machines currently on the market are one-time products that only allow Pokémon to learn moves once.Most of the move machines on the market in the Kanto region are produced by Shiruff Company.It is said that a company seems to have developed a permanent move machine recently - although I don't know if the news is true, but even if such a product does exist, it must be at a price that ordinary people cannot afford.

Therefore, Xiaoye carefully put away the first move machine that belonged to her.Although the three Pokémon currently in my hand do not need to be learned
