Qinglv stared at the Wartortle before him.
Like Xiao Shi, his starter Pokémon was Squirtle,and both evolved into Wartortle.
Xiao Shi's breeding talent wasn't bad, slightly inferior to Qinglv's, but using a Pokémon with a type disadvantage in battle
was clearly unwise .
"Xiao Shi, what are you thinking?!"
Qinglv stared intently at the Seed Iron Ball on the field.
Qinglv possessed naturally superior breeding abilities, making him a truly exceptional trainer in the Kanto Region. Even
without using the Pokédex, he could already see the extraordinary nature of the Seed Iron Ball.
Its breeding level was very high; Xiao Shi's Wartortle was no match for it.
Xiao Shi would most likely lose this match.
In Qinglv's mind, the only one who could be considered a worthy opponent was Red, who also came from Pallet Town and possessed a natural talent for battle.
"Xiao Shi~"
Qinglv took a deep breath, sat down in his chair, and calmly looked at Xiao Shi on the field.
Xiao Shi, sensing Qinglv's gaze, smiled slightly.
"Watch closely, this is my Pokémon battle!"
Shigeru glanced in Qinglv's direction, absolutely confident in his abilities.
He was determined to win this match.
"Seed Ball, use Root."
Bai Yu said calmly, a smile playing on his lips.
Hearing this, Shigeru's smile froze slightly.
"Root?!"
Countless moves flashed through Shigeru's mind, finally settling on the description of Root.
It restores a small amount of HP each turn.
This guy, using Root right from the start?
What kind of tactic is this?
"Root?"
Qinglv was also puzzled; it shouldn't have been like this in the previous match video.
Why would he start with Root?!
"Whatever the tactic, I'm not afraid."
"Wartortle, use Rapid Spin!"
Xiao Shi quickly dismissed the idea; it was just a matter of recovering stamina each round.
As long as he could defeat his opponent quickly, all these attacks would become easy.
Wartortle retracted into its shell, its entire body adopting a high-speed rotation, moving rapidly towards Ironball.
"Iron Wall."
A red light flashed in Ironball's eyes, its body shining even brighter and appearing even harder.
Wartortle had already approached Ironball, its entire body repeatedly slamming into it.
With the Iron Wall buff, Ironball only managed to retreat a few steps.
For a Normal-type move against Ironball in this state,
inflicting such damage was already quite impressive.
"Such a tough Pokémon; my Rapid Spin has no power at all."
Xiao Shi stared at the spikes on Ironball's body.
Coupled with Bai Yu's earlier command, he seemed to have realized something.
"Do those spikes also damage the attacking Pokémon when they attack?!"
This match was crucial for Xiao Shi.
He was completely focused on this match.
Gary noticed the discomfort on Wartortle's face.
"In that case, Wartortle, unleash your full power Water Gun while spinning at high speed."
That was Gary's answer!
As his first Pokémon, and the one he'd lived with since childhood,
Gary knew his Wartortle very well.
Wartortle's entire body entered its shell, spinning rapidly while continuously unleashing powerful Water Gun attacks.
Maintaining a safe distance, and avoiding damage from the spikes, the high-speed spinning Water Gun relentlessly inflicted astonishing damage on the Seed Ball.
"This fighting style isn't bad, is it?" Image . Aoandon was also a little surprised that Shigeru had come up with such a fighting style. He
cleverly combined two skills,maximizing the power of Water Gun, far exceeding Shigeru's current level.
This was beyond Aoandon's expectations.
However, the Seed Iron Ball on the field, under the relentless onslaught of Water Gun,
only moved slightly backward, and suddenly a dark green light emanated from its body.
The damage inflicted earlier was
almost completely healed. Wartortle, which was unleashing Water Gun at high speed, was struggling to cope.
Shigeru had trained Wartortle exceptionally well, no less than Shinji's previous Sneasel.
Unfortunately, Wartortle was much weaker against Seed Iron Ball.
Neither its Water-type STAB moves nor Normal-type moves could inflict much damage.
Before evolving into Blastoise, Wartortle couldn't master ranged attacks like Hydro Pump or Dragon Pulse.
"This is real Pokémon battle."
"The defending side isn't necessarily at a disadvantage."
"Because Pokémon are real, they get tired too~"
"Spiked Ironball!"
Bai Yu's voice deepened.
After this period of battle, Seedless Ironball already knew what move to use next .
"We can only attack this way, let's see if we can stop it!"
"Wartortle, keep using the same move."
Xiao Shi had also considered using a Dark-type move like Bite.
However, the damage caused by the spikes from the previous High Speed Spin head-on collision was still fresh in his mind.
He wouldn't make the same mistake!
High Speed Spin was combined with the powerful attack of Water Gun again.
At such close range, the damage inflicted by Wartortle was even greater than before.
The continuous attacks forced Seedless Ironball to retreat steadily.
The slight current emanating from Seedless Ironball seeped into Wartortle's body along the water stream.
Wartortle itself didn't even perceive the instantaneous current.
As for Xiao Shi, his mind was completely focused on the Water Gun attack; he didn't want to lose here!
"Now! Charge at Wartortle!"
Gary seized this so-called opportunity.
Wartortle, spinning at such high speed, retracted its entire body into its shell and charged towards the Seed Ball.
Extremely fast and incredibly powerful! "Using the impact of high-speed rotation to forcefully unleash Rocket Headbutt?"
Xiao Shi frowned. This move would reduce the charging time of Rocket Headbutt by one.
However, it also reduced the original powerful damage of Rocket Headbutt.
But this was Gary's only chance to attack.
Even so, Xiao Shi still felt something was wrong.
He couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"Wartortle~"
Wartortle's body suddenly felt a jolt of paralysis in mid-air, an electric current coursing through its entire body.
Its Rocket Headbutt paused for a second.
"What?!"
"What happened?!"
That second was clearly visible to Gary, and that electric current was deeply imprinted in his mind.
"Electromagnetic wave?!"
"When did it release the electromagnetic wave?!"
Xiao Shi's pupils constricted, his mind replaying the previous scene.
From the very beginning, he felt that Shigeru's attacks were going far too smoothly.
So smoothly that it felt unreal to Qinglv.
The video in the Pokédex and the scene before him finally began to match up!
Shigeru… had underestimated his opponent! Shigeru 's attack style was primarily based on animation, which differed somewhat from Qinglv's fighting style, even though both of them started with the same Wartortle.
