Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

"How could this be possible? According to common sense, water-attribute moves can definitely cause damage to the fire-attribute Duckbill Flame Dragon. How is it possible that there is no damage at all?" Xiaoxia's face was full of disbelief.

"That's because my Charmeleon is different from other fire-attribute Pokémon. I first met it in a vast lake, and it was just a little Charmeleon at that time." Xiao Meng explained.

"In the lake?" Xiaoxia asked in surprise.

"That's right~ In order to overcome its fear of water, it risked its life to swim in the lake." Xiao Meng replied.

"Swimming? How is that possible? Fire-attribute Pokémon are naturally afraid of water. Except for drinking water, they almost never go near the lake." Xiaoxia's voice subconsciously raised a level.

"Unless this little duck-billed fire dragon, for some reason, decides to jump into the lake and learn how to swim," Xiaogang added.

"The reason why the duck-billed fire dragon did this is all that guy's fault." Very bad memories emerged in Xiao Meng's mind. Her originally proud expression became very depressed, and her eyes became extremely dim.

Xiaoxia and the others were a little confused when they saw Xiaomeng's expression. Could it be that the little duck-billed fire dragon was not willing to learn to swim in the lake? Instead, he had no choice but to learn it for some reason.

"Could it be..." Xiaozhi had a guess in his mind.

"Ah-ho! Ah-ho!" The duck-billed fire dragon seemed to understand what Xiao Meng was hesitating about, so he encouraged her, as if to say that the past is over, I don't care anymore, and you don't have to hold a grudge.

Xiao Meng could understand what Charmeleon meant, so she took a deep breath and then slowly told Charmeleon's past: "Charmeleon was originally a Pokémon of a trainer named Lily, but it lost to Frog in a battle."

"It was because of this competition that the little duck-billed fire dragon encountered the darkest moment of his life."

"Victory and defeat are common in the military. Losing a match is not terrible, especially when you are at a disadvantage. Losing a match is normal."

"But that guy not only pushed all the responsibility onto the little duck-billed fire dragon, he also ruthlessly abandoned it."

"How could you do such an outrageous thing? The fire-attributed Charmeleon is already at a disadvantage against the water-attributed Frog. Isn't it normal for it to lose the game? What's more, Frog is the final evolution. It's not easy to turn the tide in such an unfavorable situation. Not every trainer is Satoshi." Misty was furious when she heard this.

Pokémon's strength will become stronger as it evolves, so most trainers will evolve their Pokémon, and only a small number of trainers do not evolve their Pokémon.

In Misty's opinion, only Ash can defeat a Pokémon in its final form with a Pokémon in its original form despite being at a disadvantage in attributes.

"Who said it wasn't? How can you defeat a water-type Pokémon with fire-type skills?"

"But that guy put all the blame on the Pokémon. It's clearly the trainer's fault. If you want to defeat the opponent when you are at an attribute disadvantage, you must learn moves that restrain water attributes." Xiao Meng sighed.

If the little duck-billed fire dragon had learned lightning fist or other attribute moves, there would be a chance to turn the tide. Unfortunately, the little duck-billed fire dragon at that time only knew a few common fire attribute moves such as sparks, flame wheels, jet flames and flame fists. If it had learned skills such as mental forcing and poison attacks, there would be a chance to defeat the opponent.

Xiao Meng sighed heavily and continued, "Some Pokémon are very loyal to their trainers, and Charmeleon is one of them. No matter how many times Xiao Li abandons it, it not only has no complaints, but also wants to stay with it."

"But in order to completely get rid of the little duck-billed fire dragon, that guy actually threw it into the middle of the lake and told it... Only if it overcomes its fear of water will it be qualified to continue to stay with her." At this point, Xiao Meng clenched her hands tightly, and she didn't feel anything even when her nails dug into her flesh.

"And Charmander believed it? In order to continue to stay with the trainer, he took the initiative to jump into the lake to learn how to swim?" Xiaogang expressed his guess.

"That's right~ In order to overcome its fear of water, the little duck-billed fire dragon soaked in the lake day after day to learn how to swim." Xiao Meng nodded and replied.

"Because it has overcome its nature, the Duck-billed Flame Dragon is not afraid of water-attribute moves," Serena guessed.

"Overcoming your fear of water does not mean you are immune to damage from water-attribute skills."

"In fact, the Platypus is not immune to water-attribute damage, but it holds on with its tenacious will. However, it cannot be seen on the surface. That's why it creates the illusion that water-attribute moves cannot cause damage to it." Xiaozhi corrected.

Xiaozhi has the most say on this point. After all, when he captured Swallow, it withstood 10 volts several times with its tenacious willpower and strong backbone. At that time, he thought that electric-attribute moves could not cause damage to Swallow.

"I held on with such a strong will, but I never thought the truth would be like this..." Salina felt sorry for the Duck-billed Flame Dragon. After all, she didn't know how much hardship it had gone through to get to this point.

"What Xiaozhi said is right. Infernape is not immune to water-attribute moves. It just withstood the Water Cannon with its tenacious will. However, uninformed trainers would think that water-attribute moves cannot cause any damage to it." Xiaomeng confirmed Xiaozhi's guess.

"I'd like to know whether Charmander went back to look for the trainer named Li after he overcame his fear of water?" asked Serena.

"After overcoming its fear of water, the little duck-billed fire dragon couldn't wait to find Xiao Li, but that guy did something worse than an animal."

"She sent a duck-billed fire dragon to beat the little duck-billed fire dragon to a pulp, then threw it into the lake and said extremely cruel words... If you can live in the lake for a month under these conditions, I will give you a chance to follow me."

"If I hadn't happened to pass by and sent out the electric beast to rescue it to shore, the little duck-billed fire dragon would have died in the situation at that time." Xiao Meng replied.

"How could someone do such a cruel thing? This girl named Xiaoli is not qualified to be a trainer at all." Xiaozhi said angrily. What he hated most in his life was trainers who casually abandoned Pokémon.

"Who said it wasn't? I really wanted to send her to jail, but without any evidence, it would be useless even if I told Miss Junsha."

“And the most infuriating thing is...the little duck-billed fire dragon has been soaked in water for a long time, and its foundation has been damaged due to serious injuries. Even after evolution, it is still affected.” Xiao Meng sighed.

"Is it because its foundation has been affected that the Duck-billed Fire Dragon's body is abnormally short?" Selina asked in surprise.

"That's right~" Xiao Meng nodded.

"If you want to make up for the foundation of the Duck-billed Flame Dragon, you can go to Miss Joy to buy a bottle of nutrient solution. The nutrient solution produced by the Joy family can solve this problem." Xiaozhi suggested.

Xiaozhi knows better than anyone the impact of a damaged foundation on Pokémon. After all, Charizard's foundation was affected back then. Not only is its size smaller than that of the Charizard in Charizard Valley, but its own strength is also very weak.

"Go to Miss Joy to buy nutrient solution? I understand. I will go after the game." Xiao Meng nodded.

Xiao Meng changed the subject: "Then the story is over, so let's focus on fighting next."

"No problem~ Come on!" Although Xiaoxia felt very sympathetic about the Duck-billed Flame Dragon's plight, she would not let it go in a fight. This was the minimum respect.

"Duck-billed Flame Dragon uses 10 volts!"

"Ah-roar!" In an instant, the duck-billed fire dragon's body was covered with high-voltage electric current, and then it aimed at the bullfrog who was nearby and released it.

"Bullfrog-kun uses Bounce!"

"Great!" Bullfrog bent his legs slightly, then jumped into the air to avoid the 10 volts, and then aimed his legs at the Duck-billed Flame Dragon and fell rapidly.
