Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 177 The Terrible Twin Tails
On the plains south of Zhuqing City.

Wu Ge is teaching the Earth-type Torterra the Rock Block technique.

The damage from Rock Blockade is reduced by half against Poison Skull Frog.

However, it is a very good move to hinder the movement of the Poison Skull Frog.

The Poison Skull Frog isn't particularly fast to begin with.

The only difference is that the object of comparison is the earth turtle.

If you use a rock blockade to change the flat terrain, the Poison Skull Frog will have a lot more difficulty moving around.

He couldn't jump around on the rock pillars like Wu Ge.

Tortoises, on the other hand, are the type that simply don't move at all and are not bothered by rock pillars.

in fact.

If you really want to counter Toxicroak, teaching it Ground-type moves is undoubtedly the best approach.

However, Wu Ge's only ground-based moves are Earthquake and Dig.

The former, the Tortoise, learns the skill automatically after evolving, while the latter simply cannot learn it.

Therefore, the teaching of Ground-type moves had to be abandoned.

"Just like when using an earthquake, replace the surface energy transmitted underground with rock energy, and then proceed with the operation."

Wu Ge explained to the earthen tortoise in front of him.

He himself can create earthquakes and rock blockades, so it's clear that the energy workings of these two techniques are similar.

And the earth turtle itself can cause earthquakes.

Then learning Rock Blockade will be much easier.

Learning how to use Rock Blockade in a week shouldn't be a problem.

However, in a battle, you can't turn the tide just by learning one move.

We still need to conduct practical training.

Let Yamanashi, as a trainer, find ways to deal with battles and figure out his own tactics.

"I'm sorry."

The earth turtle nodded its big head.

After evolving, his voice became much more powerful and resonant.

Moreover, he seems much more composed and intelligent than before.

"Give it a try. Once you've mastered this move, you can battle Masked Cat."

After Wu Ge finished speaking, he turned to look at Yamanashi beside him.

"You stay here with Torterra, I'll take Masked Meow to the training grounds."

Subsequently.

Under Yamanashi's questioning gaze, Wu Ge pulled Masked Meow towards Zhuqing City.

The best way to train is to study your opponent's fighting strategy.

The girl with twin ponytails said she would be staying in Zhuqing City for the entire week.

Judging from the opponent's competitive demeanor, the probability of him appearing in the training ground to fight against others is quite high.

They were on their way to Zhuqing City.

"Meow meow~"

Masked Cat was in a good mood and sang while hugging Wu Ge's arm.

At this time.

A sound suddenly came from the bushes nearby.

"Poison Skull Frog, use sludge bomb."

Piu! xN
Wu Ge's ears twitched, and he scooped up the masked cat beside him, then immediately leaped backward.

Bang bang!

Seven or eight mud balls were shot onto the ground, causing an explosion.

In the blink of an eye, many small pits appeared on the ground.

"So you dodged it after all. Interesting."

The owner of the voice emerged from the bushes.

It just so happens that this is the twin-tailed girl that Wu Ge and Masked Cat are looking for on this trip.

The other person's attire today is similar to yesterday's.

The only difference was that the color of her clothes had changed from white to pink, and she was wearing a bunch of messy gothic accessories.

"court death?"

Wu Ge glanced at him.

The cold gaze made the girl with pigtails swallow hard and take a half step back.

He was completely devoid of the arrogant attitude he had when he first appeared.

This was the first time in Wu Ge's life that he had been ambushed.

It almost triggered the stress reaction he had during his second incarnation at Silver Mountain.

"Meow."

Masked Cat's expression wasn't good either.

She was careless just now and didn't notice the poisonous skeletal frog's sneak attack.

If Wu Ge hadn't noticed that she hadn't, he probably would have been blown up.

Masked Cat isn't very resistant to Poison-type moves, so getting hit by Sludge Bomb won't be pleasant for it.

"Goo."

Seeing that its trainer was frightened, Toxicroak quickly stepped forward and looked directly into Wu Ge's eyes.

Then he realized that he seemed a little weak himself.

The average poisonous skeletal frog is about 1.3 meters long, but this one is a bit bigger, at 1.5 meters.

But in front of this giant lizard, I felt like a dwarf.

"Hmph! Fight me, Lizard King! With such high talent, you should sit on the throne of the world's strongest with me!"

Once the twin ponytails recovered, they stepped forward and raised their chins high.

Despite being only 1.5 meters tall, he exuded the presence of someone 2.8 meters tall.

'Chuunibyou? '

Wu Ge frowned, unable to figure out the kid's background.

but.

He understood the twin ponytails' sudden intention to attack him.

Seeing that he was tall, big, and looked very strong, they decided to subdue him.

Such things will actually be quite common in the future.

When trainers encounter wild Pokémon, they usually go straight to catch them.

However, aside from those bad guys, there aren't many trainers who start with a sneak attack.

At least you have to send your Pokémon ahead of the opponent, get their attention, and get them into a battle stance before you launch an attack and start the battle.

They simply disregarded the wild Pokémon's desire to avoid battle, but at least they didn't resort to such underhanded tactics.

But these twin ponytails are different.

Let alone in this day and age.

Even two hundred years from now, this will still be the style of a complete villain.

Team Rocket's trio loves doing this kind of thing to Ash and his friends.

"You watch the Poison Skull Frog's actions from the side, and then go back and imitate its strategy to fight against Torterra." Wu Ge turned to look at the Masked Cat beside him.

Let Masked Meow be Torterra's opponent.

It couldn't be more appropriate.

The Poison Skull Frog is not fast.

However, when facing Torterra, its speed advantage becomes very obvious, and it will definitely make good use of it to act as a physical speed attacker.

Of course, it's also possible to become a special fast attacker.

After all, Torterra has high physical defense, and Twin Tails might make Toxicroak avoid its attacks and slowly wear it down from a distance.

But regardless of which one.

With Masked Cat's base stats, it can perfectly mimic, and even surpass, Toxicroak.

In addition, Masked Cat's level is also higher.

It's essentially the top-of-the-line Poison Skull Frog.

As long as Torterra can survive against Masked Meow.

Then defeating the Poison Skull Frog will be a piece of cake.

"Meow."

Masked Cat nodded and stepped aside.

She wasn't worried at all that Wu Ge would be unable to defeat this disgusting, stinky toad.

Wu Ge took two steps forward, standing about ten meters in front of the Poison Skull Frog, and gestured with his chin.

"By the way, as a future colleague, let me introduce myself in advance."

The girl with pigtails lifted her skirt and bowed slightly.

"My name is Natsuki, I'm from the Unova region, and I'm currently on a round-the-world trip. When I return to Unova after circumnavigating the world, I will become the world's strongest Trainer! At that time, everyone will call me Queen, yo ho ho ho~"

"Cuckoo~"

After finishing speaking, Natsuki and his Poison Skull Frog laughed heartily.

"."x2
Wu Ge and Masked Cat remained silent.

"Hmph, boring. A single-type Grass-type Sceptile has the advantage. Toxicroak, use Swagger!"

"Wow wow wow!"

Upon receiving the order, the Poison Skull Frog immediately sprang into action.

He ran to a spot three or four meters away from Wu Ge and began making all sorts of funny faces and making strange noises.

This tactic is generally used to provoke the opponent and throw them into confusion.

However, in reality, it's probably only effective for Pokémon that have difficulty controlling their emotions.

For example, Incineroar and Gyarados.

It was completely useless for Wu Ge.

clap clap!

Wu Ge's response was also very simple: he slapped her twice across the face.

The attack was so fast that the Poison Skull Frog didn't even have time to react after being hit for a second or two.

".?"

The Poison Skull Frog was stunned.

Then an inexplicable fire began to surge within him.

He wouldn't be this angry if Wu Ge had directly attacked him with his moves.

But instead of using any skills, the other party casually gave him two painless slaps.

How could anyone tolerate this?!

“Wow!!”

"Poison Skull Frog, calm down, use Flattery!"

Xia Shu quickly spoke up, trying to calm the poisonous skeletal frog down.

Fortunately, her words worked. The Poison Skull Frog forcibly suppressed its anger and used its next move.

"Cuckoo~"

Next, the Poison Skull Frog started making various noises around Wu Ge.

Simply put, it involves constantly praising Wu Ge to induce a state of confusion in him.

Ash's Oshawott and Dawn's Piplup would probably be hit immediately.

However, in Wu Ge's ears...

The praise from the Poison Skull Frog was rather ordinary.

It's either 'You're amazing' or 'You're handsome' or something like that, it doesn't really resonate with me.

and so.

popping.

"This is bad, Poison Skull Frog! Use Poison Strike."

When Xia Shu saw that the Poison Skull Frog's face was getting redder and redder, and even started to emit steam, she quickly spoke up.

"Gugua!!"

With a roar, the Poison Skull Frog swung its claws and slashed at Wu Ge.

"I see. The Earth-type Tortoise is indeed not good at dealing with this kind of opponent."

Wu Ge already had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

The strategy for fighting Natsuki and Toxapex.

It's nothing more than using various harassing tactics to put the opponent into various abnormal states, and then slowly taking advantage of them.

Right now, it's either 'chaos' or 'poisoning'.

If Wu Ge hadn't been so resistant to this kind of thing...

Who knows what tricks Natsuki might have the Poison Skull Frog use, like 'provocative,' 'mud-throwing,' or 'scare.'

These are all moves from Toxapex's regular skill pool, and he'll definitely know them.

Having figured out the opponent's tactics, Wu Ge had no intention of continuing the fight.

Sharpening + Dragon Tail.

With a turn, it swept its tail out.

The enormous tail clashed with the claws of the poisonous skeletal frog.

The poisonous skeletal frog was instantly swept away more than ten meters away.

Bang!
With a heavy thud, the Poison Skull Frog's eyes began to dart around.

There's no need to use any buff moves.

The critical hit didn't trigger either.

With just the 20% damage bonus from Dragon's Fang, Wu Ge killed it instantly with a single tail strike.

"Around level 43, which is 4 or 5 levels higher than the Earth Platform Turtle, and..."

Wu Ge turned his head and glanced at his own tail.

The part that collided with the Poison Skull Frog's claws has started to turn purple, and the purple part is still spreading, albeit very slowly.

I estimate in another minute or two.

Wu Ge's entire body will be in a state of 'poisoning'.

However, this poisoned state will have a very poor effect on him.

"His special ability is 'poisonous hands'. It seems that Yamanashi will lose, and it's not entirely his command problem. Torterra is indeed quite difficult to fight against this kind of character."
