Pokémon Scenario: Intercepting Gible at the Start

"Garuda, Swords Dance!"

Ignoring the Gloom's toxins, Garchomp performed a sword dance on the spot.

Seeing Shang Qiu's Garchomp combined with Sword Dance, Ren Gouqi was not surprised but delighted; this was the moment he had been waiting for!

"Gloom, use the Shake Dance!"

Shaking Dance is a group status skill that can cause all nearby Pokémon to fall into a state of confusion.

His use of the highly poisonous Stink Flower as a starting point makes it easy for the enemy to interpret it as a defensive poison tactic.

Little did they know that his stinky flower was best at applying status effects!

His unconventional tactics often yield unexpected results, and I believe today will be no exception!

Sure enough, under Gloom's wobbly dance, Garchomp stopped its sword dance and walked towards Gloom.

As he walked, he took out a small gourd and poured the contents into his mouth.

Ren Gouqi laughed loudly, "Shang Qiu, is your elf stupid? Does he think this is a persimmon? He even put it in his mouth."

(Persimmon fruit: a type of tree fruit that can dispel confusion)

Shang Qiu didn't reply. He wasn't the kind of villain in a novel who would explain skills to the enemy; that wasn't his job.

"Gloom, use paralysis powder!"

As the paralyzing powder landed on Garchomp, Ren Gouqi's face revealed a victor's smile.

"Shang Qiu, it seems I have the upper hand."

Seeing the other trainer's smug look, Garchomp curled its lip, closed its eyes, and continued walking towards Gloom.

What are you so proud of? Just wait until I pluck all your spirits bald!

(Tip: The stamens of the male Stinking Flower do not smell)

Chapter 147 Making the Best Use of Everything

The moment Garchomp closed its eyes, Ren Gouqi and Chou Chou Hua both sensed something was wrong, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what it was.

I have a feeling this Garchomp is sleeping? But how could a sleeping Pokémon still be moving!

If it was sleep talking, it should have been using a skill, not moving towards the Gloom Flower.

But if Garchomp didn't use Rest... then where did the poison go?

"Gloomy, use the paralysis powder again!"

Ren Gouqi, refusing to believe in superstition, had Gloom use the paralysis powder again, but Garchomp was completely unaffected.

"Damn, this Garchomp is going all out! Why isn't it affected by crowd control?!"

"Ren Gouqi is probably doomed this game. His Stinky Flower is all about crowd control and hasn't been trained to have any damage skills."

Ren Gouqi became somewhat flustered upon hearing the discussions among his classmates.

"Gloom, use Giga Drain!"

Ultimate Absorption is arguably his Gloom's strongest attack skill.

A hint of green emanated from Garchomp, but Garchomp didn't react and continued charging towards Gloom.

I've never tried flower petal wine before, I definitely have to try it today!

Gloom saw Garchomp getting close and took off running.

"Garcut, use Mud Shot!"

Upon hearing Shang Qiu's words, Garchomp produced a lump of mud and threw it at Gloom.

Gloom barely dodged a clod of mud, but Garchomp wouldn't give up until it hit Gloom, continuing to throw mud at it.

"pia—"

A lump of mud was smeared onto the Gloom Flower's short legs, causing the Gloom Flower to slow down drastically.

Ren Gouqi suddenly remembered why he hated this "unseen" elf so much—this guy had helped Wang Chongjun beat him up!

No wonder someone as common as Wang Chongjun could fall into his trap; it turns out he had a powerful accomplice behind him.

However, he dared not say such a thing at this time. If Zhang Muchu knew that he was a traitor, he could forget about ever joining the Zhang family again!

All he can do now is fight with all his might and hope to win.

"Gloomy, don't run away! Use Poison + Protect!"

Ren Gouqi knew that the Gloom that had been hit by Mud Shot couldn't possibly outrun Garchomp, as the two Pokémon were already evenly matched in speed.

Now that my Gloomy Flower has been slowed down, I have no choice but to fight it out.

Gloom threw a venomous attack at Garchomp, and Shang Qiu didn't even bother to give the command to dodge.

He had already guessed Garchomp's purpose, so he simply let him be.

In any case, as long as Garchomp can't one-shot its Pokémon, it poses no threat.

Despite the deadly poison, Garchomp continued charging towards Gloom, the poison quickly disappearing as Garchomp fell asleep.

The two sprites are now less than three meters apart!

Garchomp bared its sharp teeth and smiled at Gloom.

But to Gloom, Garchomp's expression looked like it was about to devour him.

This elf looks so fierce!

Gloom trembled as it used Protect, but Garchomp had no intention of using any moves. Instead, it circled around to Gloom's side from the Protect side.

"Tear!"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Garchomp tore off a piece of Gloom's stamen. Garchomp didn't bother to stuff the stamen back into its gourd and continued to pluck at Gloom's head.

Gloom stared blankly at Garchomp, who was groping her, and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Holy crap, is this Garchomp a monster? This is the first time I've ever seen a Pokémon harass another like this."

The frog next to Shang Qiu crossed its arms and gave a thumbs-up to the person who was speaking.

"Croak!"

Finally, someone has spoken up for justice!

Ignoring the surrounding chatter, Garchomp began to grope Gloom, trying to steal as much as possible before its owner could react.

Gloom was completely flustered; he couldn't understand what Garchomp was doing at all!

All it could do was weakly pound Garchomp's chest with its little fists. Feeling it had been wronged, Garchomp immediately increased the frequency of plucking the flower stamens.

Finally, as Ren Gouqi realized what was happening, the stamen of the Stinky Flower had also been plucked bare by the Sharptooth Land Shark.

"Stop, stop now!"

Garchomp didn't even glance at Ren Gouqi, and barked at Stinky Flower.

"Roar!"

Your owner told you to stop, so don't move!

clam?

Chou Chou Hua glanced at Ren Gou Qi, unsure whether Ren Gou Qi was calling him.

Ren Gouqi looked at the now silly-looking Chou Chou Hua and almost couldn't help but slap himself.

Such a stupid elf, are you sure you raised it yourself?

What you've been plucking is the flower's stamen, not its brain!

"Shang Qiu, I give up. Please make your sprite stop."

That ten million is definitely not going to be saved. If Garchomp keeps taking it, the nutrition costs will be tens of thousands more!

Upon hearing Ren Gouqi concede defeat, Shang Qiu gestured for the frog to pick up the money from the ground before slowly saying:

"Okay, Garchomp, your brother has already picked up the money from the ground. That's enough, stop picking at the flowers."

Shang Qiu emphasized the words "pick it up".

The Garchomp sensed Shang Qiu's dissatisfaction and its small eyes darted around.

The owner said not to pluck the flower stamens, but didn't say not to pluck other parts, right?

Besides, how dare you insult the frog and make it pick up money from the ground? A mere ten million yuan is enough to make the frog bow down?

Need more money!

If you can't pay more, adding flower petals will do!

Thinking of this, Garchomp revealed a dangerous expression and reached out to Gloom, instantly producing two petals in its hand.

"Wocao!"

Ren Gouqi panicked completely. If he plucked all the petals, his stinky flower would be doomed!

Although Gloom flowers are not rare, this particular Gloom flower is a genius Gloom flower that is one in a million.

"Gloomy Flower, come back quickly!"

Ren Gouqi pressed the Poké Ball, trying to recall the Gloom.

Garchomp turned around, blocked the Poké Ball with its rear end, plucked another petal, and then reluctantly stuffed the three petals into its gourd.

Having done all this, Garchomp walked toward Shang Qiu, turning back every few steps.

It's a pity this flower has so few petals, only four. Let's leave one for him.

Gloom watched Garchomp disappear into the distance, a look of relief on its face. How could there be such a brutal Pokémon in this world!

Immediately afterwards, a sharp pain shot through Stinky Flower's head, compounded by the grievances she had just suffered.

Overwhelmed with sorrow, Stinky Flower burst into tears with a loud thud...

When Garchomp heard Gloom crying, its eyes lit up, and it flipped back over.

This flower smells awful but tastes delicious; it's simply a delicacy.
