Pokémon: I have a game menu

"Go ahead, Squirtle!"

"Jenny! Jenny!"

Sniperno's Squirtle looks very energetic, it is level 9, and has a calm personality. It is certain that it is not the one Naoki saw at the doctor's place. It seems that Sniperno received the Pokémon earlier than Naoki.

"Charmander!"

Naoki released Charmander, a fire attribute against a water attribute. Even though it was 11 levels ahead at level 9, it was still not enough to make up for the attribute disadvantage. However, this was just a friendly match between friends, and they had agreed to use the initial Pokémon obtained from the professor, so Naoki didn't care about the advantages and disadvantages in attributes.

"Then I'll attack first! Squirtle, use the water gun!"

"Charmander, run and get out of the way!"

Pokémon battles in real life are not games. Even skills with a 100% hit rate can be easily dodged. Battles are not turn-based games, so the advantages of speed and reaction will be extremely obvious. Naoki's Charmander has advantages in level and personality, and is much faster than Genie's Squirtle. Squirtle's water gun only hit the ground where Charmander was originally standing, and did not successfully hit it.

"Squirtle, use the water gun continuously!"

"Charmander, Smokescreen!"

In the early stage, Charmander's only skill that can effectively attack Squirtle is its initial normal skill Claw, so no matter what, it can only rush up to fight in close combat, but the closer the distance, the higher the chance of the water gun hitting, so it can only use skills such as Smoke Screen for cover. If it were in the game, Naoki would probably not use this skill once from the time he learned it to the time he forgot it.

Charmander opened his mouth and spit out a large amount of black smoke, and quickly approached Squirtle under the cover of the smoke.

"Squirtle, don't be afraid, use the shell retraction method!"

Retracting into the shell is a water-attribute skill that increases defense by one level. Most turtle and shell-type Pokémon can learn this skill. Using it at this time is undoubtedly a great way to deal with the situation. It can prevent Charmander from making a sneak attack while also reducing physical damage. At this point, Squirtle can be said to be invincible.

"Charmander, metal claws!"

At this time, Naoki could only gamble on the 10% chance of attack increase. If he only used his claws to attack, it would be impossible to defeat Squirtle with Defense + without five or six attacks.

"Squirtle, ram, then use water gun attack!"

Yeruno was quite decisive. He chose to let Squirtle withstand Charmander's attack and launched a counterattack. Charmander's metal claws fell on Squirtle's shell, causing some slight damage to the latter. Then Squirtle slammed into Charmander, knocking him staggering, and then the water gun hit Charmander in the face.

Charmander was knocked flying, its eyes turned into circles, and it lost its ability to fight.

Naoki shook his head helplessly and put Charmander back into the Poké Ball.

"Yeruno, you win."

"Hehe, Squirtle just happens to restrain Charmander, so I got the advantage. Let's go back to the Pokémon Center and let Miss Joy help with the treatment." Yeruno showed his signature smile.

Naoki and Yeruno returned to the Pokémon Center and asked Miss Joy to treat Charmander and Squirtle.

"By the way, Yeruno, are you planning to go on a trip?" While waiting for treatment, Naoki and Yeruno sat aside and chatted.

"Yes! Professor Blatano asked me to help record various Pokémon in the Pokédex and look for clues about Mega Evolution. I also want to see different Pokémon in different places and observe the dances of different Pokémon."

Yeruno briefly explained his thoughts. He had not changed much. He had loved dancing since he was a child, and he would teach his Pokémon to dance. Maybe next time they meet, his Squirtle will be able to do hip-hop dance. Flower Dance Bird is probably the most suitable Pokémon for Yeruno, right? Unfortunately, there seems to be no such Pokémon in the Kalos region. Naoki thought to himself.

"Naoki, what about you?"

"The professor also asked me to do this work. In addition, I want to try to challenge the gym. I hope to try it in the league competition this year. Yeruno, do you want to give it a try? Your fighting skills are quite strong. You may encounter Pokémon from other regions in the competition."

"It sounds good, I'll give it a try!"

"You two have completed your Pokémon treatment!"

"Thank you, Miss Joy!"

Afterwards, the two had dinner together at the Pokémon Center and came to the back of the Pokémon Center again. Since they were going to challenge the White Sand City Gym tomorrow, they decided to train for a while before going to bed.

Charmander didn't show much emotion after losing the first battle, probably because it was used to rubbing its hands in Lucario's hands. It also has a carefree personality, so Naoki doesn't need to give it psychological counseling.

The evening training is to strengthen the two skills that have just been mastered, Sparks and Metal Claws. Lucario is responsible for coaching on the side. Seeing how hard Charmander is training, today's failure has probably become its motivation to become stronger.

Naoki was sitting on the side, holding a tree fruit juice maker in his hand and making tree fruit drinks. Cherry fruit, grapefruit and a small amount of strength powder can be used to make red juice that increases the physical attack effort value. This is for Charmander and Lucario. Then, algae fruit and orange fruit are used to make blue juice that increases the special attack effort value. This is for Ralts. Since Naoki's Ralts likes sweet taste, Naoki also added some sweetness produced by three bees in it.

There is no need for Tutu Dog, as the only thing it needs is speed, which has already been maximized, and it doesn't like drinking juice very much. Naoki chose to simply give it a bottle of its favorite Moo Moo Milk.

After the training, Naoki took his Pokémon back to the Pokémon Center to take a shower, and made an appointment with Yeruno to go to the gym together tomorrow to challenge.

Giving Pokémon a bath is a hassle. Larulas is okay, he will be obedient, even if he likes to play with bubbles, but Totoro and Lucario don't like to take a bath, and they have to be forced every time, just like naughty children. Charmander is also honest, but Pokémon with fire attributes cannot be bathed with water, but with bath sand, which is quite troublesome.

After finishing all the work, Naoki finally had a good sleep. The next day, he woke up on time with the help of the alarm clock and went to have breakfast with Yanyeruno. After making all the preparations, the two went to the White Sandalwood Gym together and met the gym owner, Miss Violet, very smoothly.
