Pokémon: The Bold Rat

"The winner is Hoshinosuke!"

"In the third round, the winner is Hoshinosuke from Bohai City!"

……

On the deck, Zhao Yiyuan's right hand was raised by the referee again and again.

Even though he had a hidden trick up his sleeve, his opponents were even worse. He faced intermediate trainers in several rounds. Even if he faced advanced trainers in this round, their attributes were completely defeated by those of Sandslash, so it was easy for him to win.

"I won again, one yuan, you are so lucky!"

After Zhao Yiyuan stepped down, Ye Ting, who was eliminated in this round, came over immediately with a look of obvious envy on her face.

Although she only used 80% of her strength to avoid suspicion, she could feel that the sailor on the opposite side was also holding back. Even if she used her full strength, the most that could happen was that both sides would suffer losses. There was no need for that.

"Senior, we are so lucky~, it seems we need to prepare early."

He nodded, but there was no joy of victory on the boy's face. Instead, he looked worried.

In response, Ye Ting, who was awakened, immediately came over and whispered:

"Don't worry, Yiyuan, I have just connected with the new contact.

King Liu Ran is right behind us, and I have tested the escape rope and it works fine."

"King Liu~"

However, when Zhao Yiyuan heard this name, his heart skipped a beat.

He could not forget the life-and-death crisis he encountered in Anping City last year.

A superstar bullied the weak with his power, and with the help of senior executives from various departments inside and outside the city, the Rockets' senior executives finally escaped.

There is absolutely no preset arrest plan!

So, now that he met his former senior sister again, Zhao Yiyuan seemed relieved on the surface, but in fact he was even more frightened.

"Ah owe~"

At this moment, Liu Ran, who was already sitting in the small fishing boat, sneezed suddenly.

Rubbing her high nose bridge, she immediately smiled:

"It must be my junior brother who is talking about me."

"Don't worry, don't worry, Junior Brother, I will definitely rescue you~"

Having said that, he stood up and looked in the direction of the St. Ann.

She was sure that there was a big problem with the Ocean Team. A senior spy who had infiltrated the Rocket Team reported that the Saint Annu III had deviated from its planned route. The Rocket Team was also trying to contact the Saint Annu III, and even two generals had already been dispatched.

You know, each of the four generals of Team Rocket is a top-level trainer.

Sending out two people at once was definitely not just to deal with Shui Wutong who had just entered the Heavenly King realm.

"This time, I must avenge my previous shame!"

He clenched his fists secretly, and a gleam of light flashed in Liu Ran's eyes!

At the same time, on the other side, Shui Wutong, who was watching the video, had almost decided on the candidate.

"Crossland King, Ice Cone!"

"Kuga!"

"Shhhhhh!"

……

Looking at the Ice Sandslash on the screen, whose control ability far exceeded that of its peers, he smiled and came outside the captain's room.

After a day of competition, they have entered the semi-finals. In order to ensure that the selected people can enter the finals, six of the sixteen people in this round are sailors from their ocean team.

"Give the order, assign our people to this kid in the next quota competition. Let him act more realistically and let him win and enter the top four. Then I will personally host the competition."

"Yes, leader!"

Hearing this, the strong man who was accompanying him immediately went downstairs and started looking for someone to make arrangements.

Soon, the game started again.

"The second match of the 16-to-8 match, Hoshinosuke vs. Kawaseki Tianji, starts now!"

"Go, Chuanshan King!"

"The decision is yours, Iron Claw Lobster!"

"Claw!"

"Kuja! Kuja!"

Whether a Pokémon like the Ironclaw can be trained well or not depends mainly on its large claws.

Although the sailor in front of him was a thug from the Ocean Team, this lobster seemed to be very well-trained in his eyes.

Judging from the slightly shiny metallic luster, this lobster is definitely above the passing line.

【Elf】: Lobster

[Level]: LV39

【Moves】:

Mastery: Guillotines

Skilled: Foam, harden, clamp, water gun, high speed star...

Not to mention that he could use the golden finger to check, and the guillotine at the proficient level was definitely not weaker than Teacher Leng's lobster.

But just when he was about to ask Sandshang King to show off his real strength, he was shocked to find that the lobster he was fighting with did not show its due strength at all.

Back and forth, it's just clamping, bubble ray, high-speed star and a few common moves used in coordination.

There was a chance to use the guillotine, but I didn't use it.

So, after a few rounds, the lobster, which had released more water, lost as expected.

"Kuga?w?!"

The victorious Sandshrew was very happy and raised his paw high to accept the cheers from the onlookers.

"Awesome! This Ice + Steel Sandslash has really strong defense!"

"Crossland King, awesome!"

"Kuja~Kuja!"

Looking at Sandslash who was still accepting praise, Zhao Yiyuan slapped his forehead and took it back with the Poké Ball.

"You are so stupid!"

Little did they know that Shui Wutong, who was standing on the top floor, saw everything.

"A master-level ice-type move. It seems that the divine heritage passed down by Articuno is very comprehensive!"

He touched his chin and a look of satisfaction appeared on the bearded face.

The more complete the priesthood carrier is, the better!

This way he can communicate better!

While Shui Wutong was looking at him, Zhao Yiyuan, who had returned to the contestant seat, felt a great malice looming in his heart. He shuddered subconsciously and looked around, but unfortunately he found nothing.

“Is it from there?”

He muttered to himself and quickly glanced at the captain's room on the top floor. He was 99% sure.

There is no evidence though!

【But why! 】

[Are you going to push Fiona to me? ]

Lacking equal conditional information, Zhao Yiyuan simply couldn't understand why Shui Wutong did this. He could only hold the Yan Emperor doll tightly on his chest, hoping that the giant mastiff lion would protect him.

"Don't worry, Yiyuan boy, I am here with you. Even if I can't defeat that man on the sea, I can still help you two escape."

"Sorry for the trouble, Lord Yandi."

Zhao Yiyuan felt relieved after expressing his gratitude in his heart.

Yan Emperor, who had just entered the realm of Heavenly King, could reach the middle stage of Heavenly King if he could unleash his divine power. For a strong person at this level, a small step is a new level, which is enough to make up for the gap in geographical advantages.

Soon, with some behind-the-scenes manipulation, Zhao Yiyuan made it to the finals.

When he walked up to the podium, he found that the referee had been changed. Shui Wutong, dressed in a blue robe, was standing in the middle of the field, holding a flag as if he was really a referee.

“Dear audience, the final of the St. Anne’s Competition will now begin.

On my left is the player Hoshinosuke from Bohai City.

On my right is contestant Hu Li from Baiyang City.

They will bring a wonderful 2v2 final! ”

It sounded like an ordinary, stereotyped referee's words, but for some reason, when Zhao Yiyuan moved his hand to Sandslash's Poké Ball, the malice surrounding it seemed to be even stronger.

This gave him pause, but he switched to the Rattata.

"Go, little Rattata!"

"The decision is yours, Blastoise!"

As two red lights flashed, two elves, one large and one small, with a huge difference in size appeared on the left and right sides.

[Rattata, isn't that the Sandslash? We can only wait a little longer! ]

Seeing this scene, Shui Wutong put away the Poké Ball that he had secretly held and shouted:

"Game start!"

"Bluse, water gun attack!"

The charming lady opposite obviously had no idea how outrageous Zhao Yiyuan's little Rada was.

Although I knew that a little Rattata must be extraordinary to have made it to the finals, I still felt a little contemptuous.

"Kamei~"

Also looking down upon was the Blastoise which had already set up its gun barrel.

"Whoa!"

Two water guns as thick as an ordinary person's wrist shot towards little Rada.

In response, Zhao Yiyuan smiled and felt the advantage of unequal information gap for the first time.

"Use the Charge Beam!"

"Pulada (>w<)!"

In the crackling yellow electric light, a straight electric light directly hit the water gun.

“Sizzle! Sizzle!”

Water is the best conductor of electricity, and once it comes into contact with water, the charging beam spreads to the body of the water turtle at an extremely fast speed.

"Kamei! ≥﹏≤"

The electric Blastoise is in ecstasy!

"Be patient, Blastoise!"

Hu Lili didn't expect that the little Rattata on the opposite side could use electric moves. She frowned, knowing that she was doomed to suffer the consequences.

Fortunately, Blastoise has high defense and thick health, so it can't be defeated by a charging beam.

"Rocket Headbutt!"

Since he knew that his opponent had long-range electric moves, he naturally gave up the idea of ​​using water-based moves to fight back, and instead switched to close combat.

"Kamei!"

The Blastoise, having recovered from its shock, was wrapped in white air currents and rushed over like a cannonball.

It is worth noting that during the flight, the Blastoise retracted its limbs and head, which is obviously a shell-retracting move.

Even if Rattata uses the charging beam again, it can only hit its shell and has no effect.

"Shadow clone, run!"

But how could Zhao Yiyuan possibly confront it head-on?

Upon hearing the order, the little fellow split into five with a "swish", which stunned the water arrow turtle that was hiding in its shell.

"Kamei?"

But just as it was about to pick one at random and hit it, a deep male voice suddenly sounded in its mind.

"Is the second one on the right the real one?"

"Kamei? Kamei (?皿?)"

Who, who is talking to me?

Although he was surprised in his heart, for some reason, he subconsciously believed what the man said and temporarily changed the direction of his attack.

"boom!"

"Pulada!"

Rattata, who was still laughing at the stupid Blastoise, was knocked away!

"Rata!"

Zhao Yiyuan, who was ready to fight back, did not expect this.

[How did you find out? Does this woman have this ability? ]

He looked suspiciously at the surprised lady opposite him, suspecting that someone was cheating secretly.

You know, Blastoise's stats are not at all luxurious.

Compared to the Freshman Cup individual competition that he participated in last year, this Blastoise was at best average.

It's too fake that someone at this level could temporarily sense Rattata's true form!

Of course, we can't talk nonsense without evidence.

"Pulada~"

After Rattata struggled to get up, Blastoise attacked again.

"boom!"

This time it’s a water cannon!

It is far more powerful than the previous water gun.

Fortunately, after the flash of lightning was completed, little Rada's normal speed also increased greatly. With a "swoosh", he jumped nimbly and dodged it.

At the same time, the sound of "crackling" electricity rang out all over his body again.

"Shh!"

A charging beam hits Blastoise again.

"Kamei!"

It was shrouded in electric light and unable to move, with wailing sounds everywhere.

Shui Wutong frowned when seeing this.

[The lowest level is the mastery level of charging beam. Did this little Rattata also have some great adventure? 】

Then he frowned and looked at the charred area on the left, where a water arrow turtle was gasping for breath.

I almost blurted out the word "waste"!

If the game continues like this, Sandslash may not necessarily need to be on the field.

There is no other way but to give it a helping hand!

"Megalodon!"

"Roar!"

With a secret impulse in his heart, the Poké Ball hidden in his sleeve began to tremble slightly.

A fierce momentum pressed down on little Rada who was still pursuing the victory.

"Pulada!"

You know, this is a king-level pressure, and it is specifically targeted at you.

In an instant, little Rada felt himself surrounded by extremely surging malice and murderous intent, and he dared not move at all.

It had a premonition that if it moved, it would definitely die, and die a very miserable death!

Between life and death, who can see clearly? So the little guy just stood there in a daze, not moving a muscle.

"What's going on, Rattata? Just one more charge beam and you'll win!"

Noticing the abnormality of Rada, Zhao Yiyuan immediately asked using the power of Changpan.

But the little fellow who was oppressed by the power of the Heavenly King couldn't recover for a while. Even if he wanted to answer with his mind, he couldn't move.

Therefore, not only was a great opportunity wasted, but it also allowed the opponent's Blastoise to counterattack.

"Blazoo, use the Cannon Beam!"

"Kamei!"

A silver-white light lit up on its sturdy body, representing the energy of steel. "Wow~" a large amount of silver-white gathered on the barrel of the Blastoise.

"boom!"

A thick beam of light shot straight towards Rattata.

"Pulada!"

In the white light, little Rada fell to the ground with wounds all over his body, his eyes filled with whirlpools, and it was obvious that he had lost his ability to fight.

Even after being promoted to a high level, the fragile weakness of Rattata cannot be changed, or rather, this weakness is widened.

At the advanced level, most elves will evolve here, and most of them are in their final form.

You know, evolution not only brings about an increase in energy levels, but also a huge improvement in physical strength, both inside and outside the body.

If converted into numerical values ​​in the game, the health bar, attack, and defense will all increase.

Therefore, if Rattata does not evolve at this stage, its combat power should decrease instead of increase.

Fortunately, now that he has comprehended the elemental mark, driven by the higher-level energy of elemental power, he is confident that he can break through the bottleneck that would take ordinary elves more than ten years or even a lifetime to reach within a year.

By then, when we arrange for Rattata to evolve, the strength comparison will no longer see this situation of decreasing instead of increasing.
