Pokémon: New Ash, Starting from Hoenn

Xiaozhi and Dr. Kukui led Rock Dog through the woods and came to the Paw Print Hill again. As soon as they arrived, they heard two loud wolf howls.

It was obvious that the two Wolf Manes were howling to announce the start of the ring. Other Pokémon also came and gathered together.

Among them, the figure of Charmeleon was particularly eye-catching. It stood quietly on the palm of the blood-red claw, looking extremely majestic.

Surrounded by the Pokémon like stars and the moon, Charmeleon let out an exciting roar, as if telling everyone that it was willing to accept any challenge.

Encouraged by Xiaozhi and Dr. Kukui, Rock Dog rushed into the Paw Print Hill without fear. This time, it no longer waited for the two Wolf Manes to start, but rushed towards Charmeleon without hesitation.

Facing the challenge of Rock Dog, Charmeleon did not hesitate at all, and immediately pushed away the Pokémon around and agreed to the battle. Although it knew that it had defeated Rock Dog before, it did not underestimate its opponent, because they gathered here to have a fair and just battle.

At the beginning of the battle, Rock Dog bared its teeth and charged, fully exerting its speed advantage!

Its four legs quickly alternated, rushing towards the opponent like a gust of wind, while Charmeleon directly spewed out hot flames, like a flaming arrow at high speed.

Facing the raging fire, Rock Dog was not afraid. With Xiaozhi's training and its own agility, it successfully avoided the attack of the flames without slowing down at all.

It flexibly shuttled between the flames and approached Charmeleon as quickly as lightning.

"Very good, that's it!" In the distance, Xiaozhi was very satisfied with this scene, with excitement flashing in his eyes. He knew that his training of Rock Dog was not in vain!

The Pokémon around were cheering and applauding Rock Dog's performance. They felt the courage and strength of Rock Dog and cheered for it. Even the two mane rock werewolves were surprised by the Rock Dog's actions!

Rushing to the front, the Rock Dog lowered his head and hit the opponent with all his strength. This collision caught the duck-billed fire dragon off guard, and his body involuntarily took two steps back.

In this battle, it was the Rock Dog that caused effective damage first. Although it was just a simple collision, it also showed its growth!

After the Rock Dog landed again, the rock on its neck shone with light, and a large amount of gravel emerged from its tail, flying towards the duck-billed fire dragon like bullets. Obviously, the Rock Dog has mastered this move.

However, the duck-billed fire dragon is not a fuel-saving lamp. It has strong strength and rich combat experience. Facing the attack of the Rock Dog, it did not hesitate to use the flame fist, and the hot flame instantly crushed all the gravel in one fell swoop.

The collision of flames and gravel produced a lot of smoke and dust, which filled the entire battlefield.

At this moment, the Rock Dog suddenly let out a long howl, and the rock on its neck began to flash with dazzling light, as if accumulating huge energy.

"What is this?!" Xiaozhi was shocked. After all, after being trained by Pang Yanguai, Rock Dog had completely mastered the falling rocks, so it was impossible for him to have such a big pre-swing.

In other words, Rock Dog had never successfully blocked the rocks before trying!

At this moment, the duck-billed fire dragon had already pushed away the smoke and dust, looked up at Rock Dog, and opened his mouth again without hesitation. A ball of blazing flames gushed out and rushed straight towards Rock Dog.

"Woof!" Caught off guard, Rock Dog was instantly hit by the flames. It cried out in pain, and its body rolled in the air, but the rock on its neck still emitted a dazzling light.

Rock Dog gritted its teeth in mid-air, trying to control its body, and finally landed safely on a high platform. Its eyes flashed with determination and fighting spirit, and a fierce roar burst out from the depths of its throat.

Then, it jumped up with a lightning-fast momentum, and its body quickly came to the sky above the duck-billed fire dragon like lightning.

"Duckbill!"

Seeing the action of the duck-billed fire dragon, its legs slightly bent, and then it stepped hard on the ground, and its whole body instantly flew into the air. At the same time, its fist wrapped in blazing flames, with a fierce momentum, fiercely smashed towards the rock dog.

Feeling the scorching breath coming towards it, the rock dog stared at the duck-billed fire dragon. Just when the duck-billed fire dragon's fist was about to hit the rock dog, the rock dog keenly captured this moment of opportunity. It cleverly used the duck-billed fire dragon's body as a support point and completed a beautiful second jump.

At this moment, the light emitted by the rock on the rock dog's neck became more and more dazzling, and the rock energy also spread. In the blink of an eye, in mid-air, several stone slabs condensed from around the duck-billed fire dragon and smashed towards it in unison.

The duck-billed fire dragon couldn't help shrinking its pupils when it saw this scene. It quickly fell to the ground, and then used all its strength to accumulate strength and used the big character explosion to resist the blockade of this wave of rocks.

At this time, the rock dog did not give the duck-billed fire dragon any chance to breathe or fight back. It once again condensed gravel of different sizes from its tail and hit them at the back of the duck-billed fire dragon at an astonishing speed.

These gravels hit the duck-billed fire dragon hard with great force, causing it to howl in pain, and the released big character explosion dissipated.

At this time, without the support of the big character explosion, the duck-billed fire dragon naturally could no longer resist the huge stone slabs, and immediately fell from the air and hit the duck-billed fire dragon heavily.

Accompanied by a dull sound of impact, the duck-billed fire dragon could no longer bear it, and its body gradually limp, losing its ability to fight.

As the battle ended, the surrounding Pokémon cheered excitedly, witnessing a wonderful duel.

Rathalos woke up from coma, his eyes revealing his recognition of Rock Dog's strength. The two Wolf Manes led Rock Dog and howled excitedly in unison, as if announcing the official start of today's battle.

Xiaozhi was very satisfied with this victory. He knew that Rock Dog's performance in the battle exceeded expectations. It showed excellent combat awareness, not only successfully breaking through itself and learning the powerful skill of rock blockade, but also perfectly completing the difficult second jump. This growth rate is amazing.

As night fell, Rock Dog dragged his tired but satisfied body and slowly returned to Xiaozhi and Dr. Kukui. Although seriously injured, its mental state was extremely good, and his eyes flashed with enthusiasm and satisfaction for fighting.

After seeing Xiaozhi, Rock Dog excitedly jumped into his arms, gently rubbing him with the rock on his neck, and the strength gradually increased.

Xiaozhi smiled and hugged Rock Dog tightly, while using the power of Evergreen to heal its wounds.

Dr. Kukui watched Xiaozhi and Rock Dog quietly, and finally couldn't help but said: "Xiaozhi, I have an idea, of course it's just my personal opinion. What do you think about letting you tame this Rock Dog?"

Hearing this, Xiaozhi raised his head and looked at the Rock Dog in front of him, and said hesitantly: "Is this really okay? You also love this Rock Dog very much, right?"

The Rock Dog seemed to understand their conversation, wagging its tail, turning back into a cute little puppy, and making a cheerful cry.

Dr. Kukui explained with a smile: "There's nothing wrong with that. From the current situation, the person Rock Dog trusts the most is you, Xiaozhi! Under your leadership, it successfully defeated Charmeleon and has full trust in you. For Rock Dog, you have become its best partner!"

Hearing this, Xiaozhi smiled and nodded, looking at Rock Dog to ask for its own opinion, "What do you think, Rock Dog?"

And Rock Dog happily wagged its tail and barked a few times, and the answer was obviously very clear.

"Very good, then please give me more advice!" Xiaozhi did not hesitate to take out the Poké Ball and subdue it back.
