It's perfectly reasonable for me, a fisherman, to catch a Georgios, right?

[Notification: Your Milotic level has been increased to 38]

The referee stepped forward to check on the two Pokémon, then waved his flag and announced: "The winner of the first round of the battle is Qin Ming!!"

A Pyrrhic victory!

In name, Qin Ming was the winner, but everyone knew that Qin Ming's Milotic was no longer able to fight.

To be precise, it was a draw.

"I'm sure the close battle just now left a deep impression on everyone."

"Let's give a round of applause to both players, and let's look forward to the decisive game!"

Led by the commentator, the audience erupted in applause, but also in more discussion.

"I originally thought that Luo Yongbin, who was bullying the weak, would surely win, but I never expected it to start like this!"

"Wait, is Luo Yongbin going to lose later?"

"Hard to say, this freshman is too amazing!!"

"Holy crap, if Qin Ming, this freshman, beats Luo Yongbin, then he'll make it to the finals!!"

"My god, a freshman fought his way through all the obstacles, defeating seniors who had been raising Pokémon for two or three years longer than him to reach the finals. Even novels wouldn't dare to write something this fantastical!!"

"It's fantastical, but it's actually possible!!"

……

The battle between Qin Ming and Luo Yongbin continued amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd.

Because Qin Ming recalled Milotic, and Luo Yongbin also recalled his fallen Excadrill, the referee addressed the two: "Please show me your Pokémon!"

"Ready!"

"It's time to start!!"

Qin Ming and Luo Yongbin both held up the baby ball.

"it is good!"

The referee nodded solemnly to both players, then waved his flag: "The match continues!!"

"Doggy, the battle is yours now!!"

Qin Ming threw a Poké Ball towards the battlefield. After a flash of red light, Lucario, made entirely of steel, stood proudly in the arena.

"Luca~!!!"

"Luca~!!!"

Although Lucario, which has reached the Gym level, is not very tall, it seems to have an aura that can shake mountains.

"Please, Greatsword Demon!!"

At the same time, Luo Yongbin threw out a Baby Ball. After a red light, a blue sprite that looked like both a sea otter and a sea lion appeared.

……

Claymore, one of the starter Pokémon.

Among the many starter Pokémon, Greatsword Oni has a relatively low profile.

In the "Starter Pokémon Catching Ranking", Sagam is almost at the bottom in terms of popularity. Some people can't even remember which Pokémon it is when its name is mentioned.

There's no other reason than that Greatsword Demon doesn't have many memorable features.

They are neither particularly outstanding in appearance nor particularly capable.

Among the three starter Pokémon of the Water type, Blastoise is the most well-known, Greninja is the most popular, and Swampert and Empoleon are more versatile due to their unique type combination.

The West Lion Sea Serpent is beautiful, and the Thousand Faces Serpent has unique skills.

In terms of popularity, Greatsword Demon and Mighty Crocodile are roughly equal.

However, Feraligatr is easy to raise. While most of the other starter Pokémon require level 36 to evolve, Feraligatr only needs to reach level 30 to evolve into its final form.

While others were still in their second-stage form, Mighty Crocodile was already capable of standing on its own.

Although the Greatsword Demon isn't very popular, it does have some unique characteristics.

He is the only elf among all elves who hides his main offensive weapon within his body, only revealing it when attacking.

Hmm...that's really unique!

At the start of the match, Luo Yongbin continued the style of the previous game, launching a relentless and unpretentious attack.

"Greatsword Demon, use the Shell Blade!!"

"Sword!!!"

The Greatsword Demon let out a piercing shriek, and as it attacked, the two sharp blades hidden in its forelimbs revealed their edge.

Head-to-head?

Qin Ming wouldn't back down: "Dog, break the rocks!!"

"Luca~!!!"

Lucario let out a sharp screech, ignoring the sharpness of the opponent's blade, and focused on delivering his iron fist to his opponent.

boom! !

Clang! !

Two different collision sounds rang out.

Lucario's iron fist slammed into Greatsword Demon, and Greatsword Demon's blade left scratches of varying depths on Lucario's body.

The two sides retreated immediately after the initial contact.

The two spirits have no type advantage over each other, are of similar level and rank, and take roughly the same amount of damage.

During the battle, Luo Yongbin looked leisurely at his greatsword demon, his voice not loud, as if talking to himself: "I have known since I was a child that I am not a gifted person, and I am even somewhat mediocre in the vast sea of ​​people."

"But my life is not a hastily written book of poems; I rewrite the course of my life through hard work!!"

It seemed that reciting his motto had strengthened his will; Luo Yongbin's gaze became incredibly resolute, and he issued the attack command: "Greatsword Demon, use the Shell Blade to continue the attack!!"

"Sword!!!"

The Greatsword Demon's shriek grew sharper, as piercing as its gleaming blade.

"bring it on!!"

Qin Ming's eyes seemed to flicker with fire as he issued the same resolute attack command: "Dog, break the rocks!!"

"Luca~!!!"

Lucario took a heavy step, leaving a footprint in the ground, and immediately swung his fist to meet the enemy.

boom! !

Clang! !

The two elves clashed fiercely once again, without any fancy moves, just pure head-on collision.

Both sides' bodies once again bore the marks of each other's attacks.

Luo Yongbin squinted at the wounds on the Greatsword Demon's body, left by Lucario's attack earlier.

He said, "Junior, you are the most talented person I have ever seen. You have only been a freshman for a little over two months, and you have already managed to train such a powerful elf."

"When it comes to talent as a trainer, I'm not as good as you!!"

"However, I believe that hard work can overcome talent!!"

Recalling the relentless daily training and the various dangers encountered in the secret realm, Qin Ming said in a deep voice, "I risked my life to achieve this. Don't use the word 'talent' to negate the efforts of me and the elf!!"

"Dog, Aura Missile!!"

"Luca~!!!"

Sensing the change in Qin Ming's state of mind, Lucario immediately condensed a giant energy blast with a diameter of nearly one meter, and used its aura to hurl it at its opponent.
