There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

For a novice trainer who has never experienced a tragic defeat, the shame and mental damage of being defeated by two Pokémon in a row without any chance of fighting back from the opponent's trainer, especially when the opponent's trainer did not give much command, is probably incalculable.

But perhaps it was the bad fate between Xiaoye and Team Rocket. After being severely beaten by "Cahill" and "Sareya", he obviously had a better acceptance of this situation. He took back the Green Ivy Snake that could not fight without saying a word and switched to the next Pokémon.

"Pray for rain!"

Panda Duck raised his right hand and pointed towards the sky. Then dark clouds covered the clear sky and rain began to fall.

"Pikachu?" The woman opposite laughed softly after seeing the yellow water in front of her, "It's a pity that two streams flowing in opposite directions under the same advantageous rainy weather conditions won't produce any miracle of equal strength..."

After saying that, the woman slowly pushed up her glasses which had slipped down a little. The moment she raised her eyes to look at Xiaoye, the upper half of her face which had been hidden under the brim of her hat was finally revealed in front of him.

"...In more cases, the weaker party will be swallowed up directly."

“You are…?!”

Xiaoye's breathing stagnated, he rubbed his eyes, and stared at the woman's every move through the rain.

"Shh." The woman put her index finger in front of her lips, her eyes still cold. "Please don't be distracted during the battle. Use all your energy to complete this wonderful duel."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye quickly suppressed the excitement that was about to burst out, and his violent heartbeat seemed to be about to jump out of his throat.

It took all his strength to tear his eyes away from the woman and continue to focus on the game.

Standing opposite Psyduck, Metagross was breathing slightly, but when he realized someone was staring at him, he quickly let out a strange laugh, and his thick double shells opened and closed.

The Green Ivy Snake's counterattack after its defeat still caused considerable damage to Metapod. At least the slightly twitching corners of its eyes were enough to prove that.

"Focus, challenger." The woman brushed off the water drops on the corner of her clothes and said, "Ironclad, you go first."

The discomfort just now seemed to be just Xiaoye's illusion. The next moment, a cynical smile appeared on the face of the Iron-Armored Shell again, and drops of water accumulated on the tip of the tip.

"Water cannons!"

Xiaoye did not dare to be careless. He forced himself to return to the battle under the impending attack of Metapod and quickly ordered Psyduck to react to the enemy.

The water cannons of both sides collided in the center of the venue, and many tree trunks that thought they could block the two powerful water jets had slight dents and gaps on them.

The water columns from both sides penetrated all the blocking trees with unstoppable momentum. The evenly matched scene severely slapped the face of the "stream theory" that the woman had mentioned earlier.

A hint of surprise flashed across the woman's beautiful eyes, and she took a step back to avoid the splashing water.

Are the abilities of the Psyduck trained by a novice trainer so outstanding?

The slender fingers curled the slightly curved hair, and fragments of the woman's memory emerged before her eyes.

"Sakuyaha..."

The woman tilted her head and held the phone between her shoulders, while her right hand lightly tapped a covered photo on the table.

"Is it possible for him to be replaced?"

I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but a smile appeared on the woman's face.

"Is this what you mean by the best of the rookie trainers you've seen?"

The voice on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, and then came again.

"So, what is the purpose of your call?"

There was silence for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then as if he suddenly got angry, a loud noise came up that hurt her ears.

"Okay, okay, I understand." The woman hurriedly spoke to stop him, her face full of helplessness, "You don't believe they disappeared on the St. Anne's, and you hope that I can use my power to help you investigate, right? I agree."

After seeing that the woman had finally calmed down, the person on the other end of the phone snorted coldly and was about to hang up.

"Wait a moment."

The woman's voice stopped him from hanging up the phone.

He listened with bated breath, waiting for the woman to speak.

"I just want to say that your injury doesn't seem as serious as the report shows. At least your powerful roar makes me feel more at ease."

The woman smiled and raised the microphone away from her ear to prevent herself from hurting her ears from the yelling.

"You should take good care of your injuries. This is a good opportunity to avoid the orders that Mr. Champion is about to give to the gym leaders."

"Although I know that you were a soldier before and you are not a straightforward person, you should at least learn from other gym leaders how to avoid direct conflict with Mr. Champion."

"...?"

"Well, whether it's using a younger generation in the family to take over, deliberately ruining the gym's reputation, moving the gym out of the city, or disguising the gym and letting it decline naturally. These methods have effectively prevented Mr. Champion from harming the young talents in the Kanto region, but there are also many consequences."

"...!?"

"Is that so? It seems that Mr. Wu Neng is quite perceptive. He chose this time to return to Nibi City and make the Nibi Gym famous."

“.....!”

“It’s almost down.”

The woman hung up the phone after saying the last sentence. She didn't care about the shock on the other end of the line. She sighed slightly, picked up the vibrating headphones on the table and put them on her ears.

"Okay, I'll go check it out, please don't worry..."

"...Mr. Champion."

----

There was a sea of ​​blue in front of him, and the woman's eyes gradually focused and slowly raised their heads.

Waves cover the leaf canopy and thunder rumbles in the ears.

A yellow duck stepped on the highest peak of the waves, and with a light tap of its raised right hand, another wave came down like a gust of wind covering the sky and the sun.

The accumulated water that had climbed up to the calves fell and rose again, and the forest was greedily absorbing this hard-earned water source.

In the center of the rising and falling water, a small black shadow swayed with the rise and fall of the water surface.

"Psyduck, water gun!"

When the last wave hit Metagross, the Pokémon curled up in its double shell was blown into the air by the wave.

Before it could get used to the feeling of weightlessness, a stream of water as thin as a silk thread pierced through its body and hammered it heavily to the ground.

"One point, challenger." The woman took back the open double shell of the Metal Shell without much expression, took out the next Pokémon and put it on the field. "Just like before, let me see your level."

A white light flashed, and a "Slowpoke" lay on the ground and yawned. It did not raise its head slowly until it found that its fur was wet, looked around, and slowly propped itself up and stood up.

It was only after it stood up that the huge structure behind it appeared in front of Xiaoye.

"Stupid hippo..." Xiao Ye's hot heart, which had been suppressed, surged out again, and he kept blaming himself for being slow.

Ironclad and Hippopotamus, their iconic burgundy hair color, and their strength that is so strong that it can create oppression...

She is the only master who meets all the above conditions!

"Clap--"

The woman clapped her hands to call back the attention of Hippopotamus and Xiaoye. After seeing the challenger shake his head suddenly after reacting and seeing Hippopotamus’s dull gaze, she whispered, “Feel free, Hippopotamus.”

The silly hippo's movements seemed to be frozen in a photo. He stood there stiffly for a long time before he slowly nodded and turned around.

Perhaps during that period of time, Hippopotamus's brain was working very fast, trying to understand what his trainer said?

In an instant, the Hippopotamus' eyes, most of which were occupied by the whites, glowed blue.

The battle begins again!
