[Pokémon/Pokémon] Past, present and future

"Are you the resident trainer here?" The boy looked at the girl who was slightly taller than him, "I am Jiang Pu. Come and have a one-on-one battle with me, with a 1% discount as a bet!"

"Okay. I'm Suzuki." Suzuki nodded.

After both parties introduced themselves and were taken to the temporary battle site, the store manager's husband began to explain the rules of the battle.

The rules of this kind of battle are basically the same, and Suzuki has heard it many times while watching the battle video.

"Come out, Kapok Ball!"

As a resident trainer who accepted the challenge, she naturally had to release the Pokémon in the first round and let her opponent attack first.

Resident trainers have just recently emerged in the Dark Gray City. Most of the battle rules are based on the rules of the gym competition. The same is true for the store where Suzuki is located.

"Come on, monkey monster!"

What Jiangpu sent was a chubby Pokémon with slender arms and legs.

"Yibubu!"

The two little ones that were not Suzuki Pokémon had been left under a nearby tree. Seeing that Suzuki was about to start fighting at this time, he immediately took a few steps forward, wagging his big tail excitedly to cheer them on.

Some people gradually gathered around. They were probably trainers who were planning to go to the forest to train Pokémon but decided to come and watch after seeing a battle about to take place.

"Game start!"

"Monkey monster, strike first and use your bare hands to chop!"

Jiangpu obviously had little experience in fighting, and he also didn't know enough about Pokémon. Facing an opponent who could learn poison powder and paralysis powder, the monkey monster rushed forward recklessly.

It's quite like Suzuki's style of not being coached out of fashion.

Suzuki didn't give any instructions to avoid it, he just watched the monkey monster's right hand light up with a white light, and moved towards the kapok ball with his feet.

Some people around her who also had little fighting experience began to whisper, questioning whether she had stage fright.

"Grass flute!"

Just when the monkey monster was only a few steps away from the kapok ball, Suzuki spoke.

Accelerated by the mischievous heart, green notes quickly formed around Kapok Ball's mouth.

Its trainer didn't seem to expect that his opponent, who was mistaken for stage fright, would suddenly issue an order at this time. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and missed the opportunity to command.

Of course, even if he had time to issue the command, his monkey monster's reflexes would not allow him to avoid it in time.

Although he saw the note appearing in front of him, the monkey monster couldn't react and rushed straight over. After meeting the note, he raised his right hand and was about to chop it down when he suddenly felt a strong sleepiness coming over him and his body trembled. Ruan fell directly to the ground in front of Kapok Ball.

The people who had just questioned Suzuki suddenly showed surprised expressions, while some people showed unexpected expressions.

Luring the enemy deep is a battle strategy that is commonly used by both new and experienced players.

Although it is commonly used by novices, it is more like a combination of several battle strategies.

Suzuki's kind is relatively simple and easy to see through. If Jiangpu is more cautious, she won't succeed so easily.

As for this strategy used by veterans, it requires more planning.

Like encountering a wily trainer, it is likely that by the time you realize that you have been trapped, you will have no way out.

She just saw this strategy on the Internet a few days ago. After seeing it, she decided to try it if she had the chance. Therefore, she told her Pokémon that if she did not immediately issue an avoidance command during the battle, then They might be planning a surprise attack, so there's no need to panic.

"Monkey monster, wake up!"

Seeing that the monkey monster was sleeping on the ground, Jiang Pu anxiously called out to the monkey monster, hoping to wake it up. But how could Suzuki give it a chance to wake up? Taking advantage of the Fairy system's advantage over the Fighting system, he used Fairy Wind to quickly defeat it.

After the referee announced the result of the battle, Jiang Pu had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​being given a 10% discount and left with the monkey monster after paying the original price.

After Suzuki returned to the store, the store manager told her that in addition to her guaranteed salary, she would also be given bonuses based on the number of games she won.

The store manager was smiling brightly when he spoke, obviously very happy because Suzuki won the first battle.

Not long after, Jiang Pu, who had just left not long ago, came back, followed by another boy who was much taller than him.

As soon as they entered the door, they headed straight for Suzuki's seat.

Suzuki's first reaction was that because he was dissatisfied with losing the battle, he came to find trouble on behalf of someone more powerful, and hostility instantly arose in his heart.

"Can you have a fight with my brother? My brother is much better than me."

However, what he said immediately made Suzuki feel lucky that he did not show his hostility openly just now.

Before Suzuki could say anything, the store manager took the opportunity to say that he could fight, but only after spending money in the store.

This is too much confidence for me! ?

Are you not afraid of losing money at all?

Seeing the store manager who was so confident that his resident trainer was sure to win, Suzuki felt helpless.

"Okay. What I want to do is a three-on-three battle."

Brother Jiangpu agreed.

Their battle began naturally.

"My brother can definitely win. He was among the top 128 in the last Quartz Conference."

When Suzuki picked up the Poké Ball, Brother Eura mentioned his brother's past achievements, his tone was full of satisfaction, and he didn't know if he just wanted to show off or if he wanted to use this to influence Suzuki's mentality.

Suzuki's hand paused, and after hesitating for a second, he took the elf ball back and replaced it with the gopher's elf ball.

She decided to let the gopher take the lead and test the opponent's strength.

Since he can participate in the Quartz Conference, it means that he has obtained at least eight badges.

Of course, it is also possible that she graduated from the trainer school and obtained at least four badges - this is the information Suzuki found online. If she wanted to participate in the league competition, she only needed to obtain four badges to register.

"Please, Lizard King!"

A red light flashed, and a green Pokémon appeared on the field.

The leaves on its wrists and the big tail shaped like palm branches trailing behind it all made Suzuki recognize it - the initial form is usually given out to some students in Pokémon schools or from childhood as one of the original Pokémon in Hoenn. For children whose parents have started paying the initial Pokémon tax, the grass-type Pokémon Lizard King usually has an evolution level above level 36.

After seeing the Pokémon released by the other party, the store manager who had previously been very confident in Suzuki also showed a worried look at this moment.

The person who is even more worried is Suzuki Yumeko herself.

Not just concerns about the risk of dismissal, but also about losing face.

It doesn't matter if you lose when there are no bystanders, but if you lose in front of so many people, you lose miserably.

Maybe it will become a topic of conversation for some people after dinner, and be treated as a confident child or something.

But running away now is definitely out of the question!

What's more, she is not this kind of person.

Although it is indeed unexpected to be challenged by such a strong trainer, but keep going!

Suzuki thought as the Lizard Dynasty Gopher rushed over.

"Gopher, throw sand!"

Suzuki wanted the gopher to cover himself with sand to dodge the attack.

Unfortunately, in the face of the gap in strength, all struggles are in vain.

Before the gopher could even lift up the sand, the lizard king who rushed forward swung his leaf blade and knocked him away, instantly losing his ability to fight.

There was a burst of admiration all around.

"This Lizard King is my brother's starting Pokémon. How about it? It's very strong."

Seeing that his opponent who had defeated him quickly before was now instantly killed by his brother, the corner of Jiang Pu's younger brother's mouth almost rose to the sky.

"It's really strong."

While Suzuki kept comforting himself in his mind, he smiled lightly as he always did when working, and agreed as if he didn't care that the gopher lost directly.

The Kapok Ball that came next was also defeated with one move. Even though the grass-type moves were not very effective against it, it could not survive.

In addition to the voices of praise for Brother Jiangpu, there were also jeers in the crowd.

Although there was still a smile on his face, and although he was still echoing what Euraura's brother said, Suzuki felt a little more irritable this time.

"Host, it doesn't matter if you fail miserably, as long as you work hard to become stronger. Come back and laugh at them when you become stronger. So."

The system took the opportunity to educate its host in a sincere tone.

Suzuki paid no attention to this.

She had a lot of plans when she was hypomanic, whether it was for study or life, in the end they were just plans.

After realizing this, she simply regarded the idea as just an idea.

Taking back the kapok ball, Suzuki looked at the Eevee and the ants under the tree.

"Yibu!"

Eevee ran up to Suzuki very proactively, acting like he was her Pokémon so that no one else was surprised at all.

"Then please." Suzuki said softly.

"Is it the little pet Ibrahimovic who was forced to play? Rather than letting it get injured in vain, it would be better to just admit defeat."

"Lizard King, use Sword Dance!"

Completely opposite to his younger brother's performance, Brother Jiangpu suddenly put away his expression of victory and became a little serious. For the first time in this game, he did not let the Lizard King directly attack but used a change of moves.

"Ibrahimovic, dig a hole!"

The Lizard King can't learn earthquakes, so he might as well hide in the dark and look for opportunities to fight guerrillas!

Ibrahimovic jumped up, put his front palms together and "jumped" into the ground as if diving. Ibrahimovic immediately disappeared from the ground, leaving only a dark hole.

The Lizard King waved its leaves and danced in a dance that looked quite impressive.

As the Lizard King's "Sword Dance" ended, the muscles on its body became more obvious.

Brother Jiangpu cautiously scanned the field, looking for the location where Ibrahimovic would jump out.

However, Ibrahimovic had no intention of getting out.

The Lizard King, who was looking around, suddenly felt the temperature of his body drop sharply. Recalling a previous battle, he suddenly felt bad and tried to move away from this position, but it was too late.

In an instant, a large black ice crystal formed, trapping the frightened Lizard King directly inside. The next second, with a "click" sound, the ice crystals exploded again, and several small ice crystals pierced the Lizard King's body.

It only felt pain and coldness on its body, and then it became confused and fell into a temporary coma.
