Pokémon the Movie: Pallet Town Rookie

Shingo looked at the fallen Mantis and seemed to be unable to believe it. He kept repeating, "Impossible, impossible, impossible. Your winning rate is only 10.1%. How is this possible?"

"Very unexpected, right?" Xiaoyuan smiled, took out the Poké Ball and took back Venusaur, and said so.

"I was clearly the disadvantaged one, but I wasn't hurt at all. And you, in terms of attributes, speed and attack power, were superior to Venusaur, but you were defeated in such a humiliating way. You must be very confused, right?" Xiao Yuan said with a smile, looking at the self-doubting Shingo.

At this time, Shingo calmed down a little and asked, "Why? The computer I used calculated all the optimal solutions, so why could you defeat me so easily?"

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, the computer has calculated the optimal solution. This is your advantage, but also your disadvantage. It is too easy for me to predict your orders."

"The attack power of Mantis is far greater than its special attack power. So, for the computer, in order to give full play to its advantages, it will only let you engage in close combat. In this way, my hypnotic powder will surround your body and can greatly restrict your movements for a period of time. And I have been using Earthquake, so the computer will definitely let you jump up to attack in order to avoid my attack. What's more, Mantis has four times the resistance to grass and poison, so attacking from the air poses no threat at all. Knowing yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat. Since everything you did was within my expectations, how could I lose to you?" Xiao Yuan explained with a smile.

Then, Xiao Yuan approached Shingo, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "The computer can observe the battle and formulate an optimal solution for you. This is indeed the advantage of the computer. However, it is also its biggest weakness, because the opponent can clearly know your weaknesses and deliberately show them to you, and then use them to set traps. In this way, if it is a real person, he may not necessarily fall into the trap, but the computer will definitely fall into this fire pit. Do you understand this?"

At this time, Muramasa, who had been watching the battle, couldn't help clapping when he heard this, and said, "I understand, I understand! Xiaoyuan, you are really different. Others can't hide their weaknesses, but this is useless to computers, so they will be defeated by Shingo, and you did the opposite. So, from the beginning, every step of this battle was within your calculations, right?"

Xiao Yuan put her hands behind her head and said in a relaxed tone, "That's about right! It's mainly because the computer's behavior is too easy to guess. Okay, I've completed your commission, so I'll leave first."

"Wait!" At this time, Shingo, who had been thinking silently, suddenly spoke up and said, "You have never fought with me before, how can you see my weakness at a glance?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "I don't know, maybe, as I walk a long way and meet a lot of people, these fighting instincts have been cultivated?"

Shingo seemed to understand something when he heard this. He suddenly bowed to Muramasa and said, "I understand, Dad. This is what you always wanted me to understand. Reading thousands of books is better than traveling thousands of miles. I have always been closed-minded and self-satisfied. I rely too much on computers and even forgot my original fighting instincts. But, Dad, from now on, I will not be like this anymore. Thank you."

When Muramasa saw Shingo like this, he shed tears and said, "Good boy, have you finally figured it out? It's okay, no matter what decision you make, Dad will support you!"

At this time, Xinwu said seriously: "Dad, I want to go out and travel, just like Mr. Xiaoyuan. The more I travel, the more things will become clear. Xiaoyuan, I lost this battle, but I will wait for you at the Silver Conference. In the next battle, I will abandon the computer and go all out!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "Oh? From what you said, you are sure you can beat my Charizard?"

As soon as these words came out, Shingo froze instantly. After all, his current Pokémon, except for Mantis, were basically all Fighting-type, and were crushed by Charizard.

Xiao Yuan looked at Shingo's expression, smiled, and said, "Okay, I was just kidding, let's go."

Afterwards, Xiao Yuan put his hands behind his head again, walked away confidently, and continued to move towards the town of Qiapi.

A few days later, Xiao Yuan finally arrived at the town of Qieppi. He looked at the road sign, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Huh, we're finally here. It's been so long. Forget it, let's go to the Pokémon Center first!"

Xiao Yuan put on her backpack and headed straight for the Pokémon Center. However, she saw a note on the door of the Pokémon Center that read, "Due to water shortage in the town, this Pokémon Center is temporarily closed. The opening date will be notified later."

Xiao Yuan looked at the note on the door and said speechlessly, "What? It's like this again. Could it be that Snorlax has blocked the water upstream again?"

At this time, a Slowpoke slowly crawled out from an alley on the side, with a cute expression and a lazy look on its face, and yawned at Xiaoyuan.

Suddenly, Xiao Yuan became sleepy and listless. He immediately produced a Lingyu fruit, stuffed it into his mouth, and started chewing it. Only then did he recover.

Then, Xiao Yuan looked at the Slowpoke with an angry face and said, "Hey, Slowpoke, don't use tricks like yawning randomly, or something bad will happen."

When Slowpoke heard Xiaoyuan's scolding, several question marks appeared on its head, and its special defense increased significantly. Xiaoyuan looked at its stupid look and unconsciously clenched his fists, saying: "See, you don't want to drink my toast, so you have to drink the forfeit! Believe it or not, I will let you know what the six realms of reincarnation are in a minute?"

At this time, a familiar voice sounded, saying: "Xiaoyuan, I advise you not to touch this Slowpoke, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan looked back and saw a hedgehog head suddenly in sight. Xiao Yuan looked at the person and asked in surprise: "Xiao Mao, why are you here too?"

Xiao Mao looked at Xiao Yuan and said, "Of course I'm here to challenge the Chengdu Alliance. It's so simple, why do you need to ask? Xiao Yuan, you probably don't know! The people in this area regard Slowpoke as their guardian. Once you mess with them, the people in this area will hunt you down."

"Really? No, Xiao Mao, how did you know?" Then, Xiao Yuan said with a playful expression, "Why were you hunted down before?"

"Um, this, of course not, this is of course I have made a strategy before, yes, I have made a strategy before." Xiao Mao said awkwardly.

Xiao Yuan looked at Xiao Mao's expression and probably guessed what he meant, but she didn't pursue the issue any further. She said, "By the way, Xiao Mao, since you came here but didn't challenge the gym, could it be that the gym has also been closed?"
