Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"Um...well~of course! Haha! Hahaha~" Saizo looked up at the sky and let out an awkward laugh.

In fact, when Saizo heard that there was a free open-air hot spring here, he immediately put aside his practice and excitedly brought Gala Gala to go on vacation.

But since Wang Yao asked this, how could he have the nerve to admit it!

"Garra..." Garagara covered his head with the bone stick, somewhat unwilling to admit that the arrogant guy next to him was his trainer.

"Since we've met! How about a Pokémon battle?!" Wang Yao did not expose Saizo, but instead enthusiastically invited him to a Pokémon battle!

His Arbok just evolved yesterday and needs some special training.

And fighting (getting beaten) is the best special training!

Although I don’t know how strong Saizo is, this Galagala looks quite powerful.

Besides, Poison type vs Ground type! The advantage is mine!

"Great! A duel between men before taking a hot spring bath! Just what I want!" Saizo accidentally spoke out his real thoughts.

"How many Pokémon do you have?" Before the battle, Wang Yao needs to plan his team's players.

"Um... I don't have as many Pokémon as you, A Yao!" Sai Zang had already seen the few Pokémon that Wang Yao left behind in the camp.

If there weren't some clean clothes hanging out to dry next to the cabin, he would have thought it was a wild Pokémon's nest.

"There are three of them now. In addition to Gallapax, I also have a Pokemon and a Spearow that I just caught in the forest!" Saizo took out two other Poké Balls from his arms.

"In that case, let's each use two Pokémon to fight!" Wang Yao suggested.

Forget about the Spearow and the like… I’ll eat them another day, another day.

"Okay~ Then I'll send out Gara Gara and Dudu to fight!" Saizo was not too confident about the strength of the newly captured Spearow, so it would be more convenient to use his own veterans in the battle.

"Then I'm sending out Arbok and... Sharptooth!" Wang Yao rarely found a terrain where Sharptooth could fight, so he would let the Toot take on the challenge later.

As soon as the Pokémon for the battle was decided, the Poké Ball belonging to Ponyta in Wang Yao's arms began to shake slightly.

"Don't worry, I'll let you go next time when there's a more suitable opponent!" Wang Yao gently comforted the warlike little fire horse.

In fact, it is more appropriate to send out the little fire horse to fight against Dudu, who runs fast on land.

But the little fire horse has just recovered after all, and the specific therapeutic effect of natural hot springs on the little fire horse's previous overdraft of flames has not yet been truly verified by professional doctors.

So Wang Yao didn't want it to participate in a formal Pokémon battle again so soon.

"Arbok! You play in the first game!" Wang Yao turned and shouted at Arbok.

"Crack!" Arbok heard the trainer's command, twisted its body and came to Wang Yao.

"What a strong Arbok!" Saizo is no longer a ten-year-old kid who just debuted, and he can still tell the approximate strength of Pokémon.

Wang Yao's Arbok is much bigger than the wild ones in terms of size! Its strength must be extraordinary!

"I'll leave the first game to you! Gaga!" Saizo lowered his head and asked his initial partner for his opinion.

"Crack!" Crack, crack, crack! He took a step forward with a bone stick in his hand!

Even though it is not big enough for the person opposite to have a full meal, it is not afraid at all!

Ground type vs. poison type! A mere poisonous snake will surely be defeated by my big bone stick! !

"Well, let the battle begin!" Wang Yao asked the surrounding Pokémon to disperse and make room for the battle.

"Gara!" Gara Gara and Arbok looked at each other from a distance.

"Crack!" Arbok did not underestimate the enemy. Its upright upper body was a sign of its serious fighting.

Arbok knew Garagar and knew that although this Pokémon looked small, the bone stick in its hand was actually very powerful.

The swung bone stick can easily smash even boulders!

"Then we will take the lead!" Wang Yao saw that the other party was slow to give orders, so he took the initiative.

"Arbok! Use Snake Stare!" Wang Yao directly shouted out Arbok's signature skill!

"Crack--pop!" Arbok opened his big mouth full of sharp teeth and pounced forward!

The moment it pounced, the unique facial pattern on Arbok's abdomen swelled up at the same time, forming a terrifying face-shaped pattern!

The terrifying aura can paralyze the enemy! Become a delicious meal for Arbok!

If it is a battle in the wild, weak enemies will be scared away as soon as they see this pattern.

"Crackle——!" Crackle was startled and took two steps back frightened by the power.

"Gala!" But Galagala has also been through a lot of hard training after all.

With a strong will, it used its bone stick to support the ground and suppressed the fear in its heart.

"Come on! Galagala! Let's attack too!" Zhai hid behind and cheered for Galagala.

"——Use the bone stick to hit around!" Saizo ordered.

"Crack!" A low roar was heard.

He gripped the bone stick tightly in his hand and rushed towards the enemy in front of him.

Snapped! Bang bang!

Gara Gara jumped into the air, swinging the bone stick and hitting Arbok's sturdy body wildly!

"Crack!" Arbok dodged backwards in pain.

Of course, the game is not a round-based game where you hit me and I hit you.

But Wang Yao originally wanted to try out whether Arbok's tall body after evolution was just for show, so he deliberately let it take the bone stick and hit it randomly.

"Fight back with poison needles!" Wang Yao ordered.

"Crack!" Arbok opened his bloody mouth and condensed hundreds of fine poisonous needles, which he spit out towards the rattling in front of him!

The smaller the power of a skill, the faster it will be activated!

The poison needle attack was already one of Arbok's most proficient skills before it evolved!

"Gala..." Gala Gala stopped what he was doing and held the bone stick horizontally in front of his body to protect the fragile eyes that were not covered by bones.

"Garaka! Are you okay?" Saizo's quick wit in battle was obviously not as good as Garaka's own. The defense just now was Garaka's instinctive reaction.

"Go on - use the dissolving liquid!" Wang Yao took advantage of the victory and pursued.

While Garagara had no time to attack, a ball of dark purple dissolving liquid quickly condensed from Arbok's mouth and directly hit Garagara's body whose vision was blocked!

Hiss, hiss—hiss!

The strong acid solution corroded the solid skin of Galagala, leaving scars, and even left slight marks on the solid skull.

"Gala..." Gala Gala half-knelt on the ground in some pain.

"Don't give up! Gara Gara! Use your energy!" Saizo intended to let Gara Gara use the willpower condensed when gathering energy to resist the damage of the dissolving liquid.

After gathering energy, Gara Gara's chance of hitting Arbok's vital points will increase, and he can even deliver a decisive blow!

"Gala!" Gala stood up with difficulty.

As a ground-type Pokémon, it has pretty good stamina.

He took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and continued to gather his energy while resisting the burning sensation brought by the dissolving liquid!

"Don't give your opponent a chance to power up! Arbok!"

"——Charge forward and use Crunch!" Wang Yao ordered Arbok to directly interrupt the opponent's enhancement.

Crunch is a new skill that Arbok automatically masters after evolving. It is a powerful physical move with evil attributes, and has a chance to reduce the opponent's physical defense after hitting.

When used in conjunction with dissolving liquid, it can greatly weaken the opponent's defense!

"Crack!" Abo rushed forward.

Galagala wanted to dodge, but it was too late!

Arbok, ready to attack, bites directly into Galagala's belly with his sharp teeth!

"Crack!" A painful cry came out.

If it weren't for the fact that as a ground-type Pokémon, it usually has a layer of rough and solid skin to protect its body, Gara Gara would have been bitten into a Gara-Gara by Arbok! !

"Hold on! Use your energy!" Saizo placed all his hopes on strengthening his skills.

"Crackling!" Crackling, he endured the pain and insisted on gathering his energy.

Arbok, which was biting its prey tightly, was not idle either. It instinctively used the [Bind] move and tried to strangle the opponent with its body!

The short Galagala was gradually entangled and tightened by the snake's body!

"Galala!" Saizang shouted anxiously, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.

"Garra..." Fortunately, Gara, who was buried by Arbok's huge body, did not lose consciousness so quickly and was still able to respond to the trainer's call.

When Saizo heard Galagala's response, he felt much more at ease!

At the same time - he was paying attention to the battle situation and soon noticed a detail!

That is, Galagala's right hand holding the bone stick is still exposed!

"Take advantage of now! Gara Gara! Use the bone boomerang!" Saizo discovered this and immediately ordered Gara Gara, who was in trouble, to counterattack!

The bone boomerang can attack without hands!

With the damage after gathering energy, as long as Arbok's vital points are hit, it will be a chance for him and Garagara to turn defeat into victory!

"Crack!" Relying on years of training, Crackle threw the bone stick in his hand blindly into the sky!

The bone stick drew a graceful circular arc in the air and was about to fall after making a circle!

"Get out of the way quickly!" Wang Yao didn't have a good way to deal with Arbok that was entangled with Garagara, and could only use the trainer's exclusive combat skills.

"Crack!" Arbok opened his mouth in time, and his head brushed along the flying trajectory of the bone stick to avoid the attack, but his entangled body was directly hit by the returning bone stick!

"Crack!" This hit made Arbok almost cry!

But thanks to the temporary intimacy boost from last night's barbecue, Arbok managed not to cry out loud!

After the bone stick hit Arbok's tail, it was bounced off by its scales again, and finally fell to the ground with a bang!

“What—!” Saizo found that Arbok had not fallen yet, and he realized that Garagara was doomed to fail.

After waiting for a few seconds and finding that Gara Gara didn't respond, Wang Yao ordered, "Release it! Arbok!"

Wang Yao chose to stop there. After all, he was no longer Team Rocket, so he did not let Arbok continue to attack the trainer.

"Crack..." Arbok slowly released the bound Garagara.

The reappearing Gala Gala had his eyes spinning in circles.

Obviously after throwing the bone stick, it was no longer able to fight.

"Galala!" Saizo ran forward and hugged the unconscious Galagala.

"Gala..." Gala Gala seemed to be suffocating for just a moment, but soon woke up when Saizo called her.

He didn't expect Arbok to be so powerful. Even though Garagara fought with his usual fighting spirit, he still failed in the end.

"Give it some pomelo fruit...it will be very helpful in restoring its strength." Wang Yao took out a few fruits and asked Zhai Zang to give Gala Gala a simple treatment.

"Thank you!" Saizo accepted it gratefully, cut the pomelo fruit into small pieces with the samurai sword he carried with him, and fed it to Galagala little by little.

Wang Yao walked over to Arbok and took a look at its injuries.

Apart from a few scars on his body caused by the bone sticks at the beginning, the only thing that looked a little painful was the last blow from the bone boomerang that hit his tail.

Taking out a bottle of [Powerful Wound Medicine], Wang Yao sprayed the medicine evenly on the injured part of Arbok.

Among the fruits collected by the gulls before, there happened to be the [Yellowwood Fruit] that could resist ground attribute damage. Wang Yao crushed one, fed half of the pulp to Arbok, and applied the other half to the place on its tail that was hit by the bone boomerang, and wrapped it with a towel.

"Let's go to the hot springs at night, and everything should be fine." Wang Yao asked A Bo to hide in the cabin to rest.

There is a second game coming up!

Saizo watched Wang Yao treating Arbok, but he was not angry at the other party for being partial.

Originally, the pomelo fruit and the wound medicine were all Wang Yao's property...

He has always been used to practicing hard with Garagara, and he rarely even goes to the Pokémon Center!

Not to mention the pomelo fruit, he and Galagala would be very satisfied if they could have an orange fruit to eat when they were injured in the wild!

"So... should we continue the second battle?" Wang Yaoxian asked Zhai Zang for his opinion.

"Of course! We won't lose the second game!" Saizo's fighting spirit was certainly not easily defeated.

Take out the Poké Ball of Dudu, and Zhai Zang will also take away the effort of Galagala! Win it back at once!

……

……

Three minutes later——!

"I lost……"

Saizo took back the defeated Tutu with a look of regret, and sat down back to back with Gara Gara.

Although the Dudu on land has flexible movement, it lacks long-range attacks and cannot hurt the Sharptooth Fish hiding at the bottom of the pool!

However, the Sharptooth Fish can hide underwater without being disturbed and use its energy to strengthen its attacks, and it also uses [Stare] and [Scary Face] to harass Toot from time to time.

Dudu's two heads were not in harmony to begin with, and now he is even more unwilling to listen to Saizo's orders!

Not only does it just run around on the field, but its two heads also attack each other!

After accumulating strength, the toothfish chose to rush out of the water, using the [Water Jet] and [Bite] skills to instantly secure victory!

"Your Pokémon levels and your ability to command as a trainer far surpass mine!" Although he lost both games, Saizo accepted the defeat with a sincere heart.

"Gala..." Gala Gala was also very disappointed.

After training hard with the trainer for so long, it was easily defeated by the opponent's Pokémon, which made it difficult for the competitive Pokémon to accept.

"Victory and defeat are common in the military!" Wang Yao acted like an old scholar.

"Arbok was also very weak before! He also grew up step by step! Slowly!" Wang Yao used Arbok as an example.

"Crackle..." Arbok, lying in the shadow of the cabin, wanted to protest that he was a snake...snakes don't leave footprints.

"Ayao..." Sai Zang looked at Wang Yao with admiration.

"You're right - Galagala! After all, our practice is not enough!" Saizang held Galagala's little paws, and the blood in his heart was stirred again!

"Garra! Gara Gara!" Gara Gara felt the trainer's intention and his eyes became determined.
