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

Chapter 18, Arm strength that relies on brute force but not intelligence—how could one possibly conceive of such a thing?

"Leo~!!!"

"Wrist~!!!"

The two retreating elves stepped aside, their eyes filled with solemnity and fighting spirit.

Those who possess Fighting-type bloodlines are all Pokémon who constantly strive to become stronger, and they will devote themselves wholeheartedly to battle.

Qin Ming frowned slightly, his palms sweating a little; the wrist strength in front of him was making him feel somewhat troubled.

Previously, when I played against Geodude and Rock Slug, I could say I had a winning streak.

Facing an opponent with superior strength and level in arm wrestling, they are clearly at a disadvantage.

Although it is more difficult to play against the odds, it is also a better way to hone one's skills.

After a brief moment of thought, Qin Ming decided to take the initiative this time: "Dog, use Lightning Flash to accelerate, then combine it with Cross Slash for an attack!"

"Leo~!!!"

Riolu's body surface crackled with electricity, and with the boost of a flash of light, it suddenly unleashed its forward speed to launch an attack.

"Wrist~!!!"

Standing still, the wrist-strength man countered with a low kick.

The two spirits' attacks intertwined once more, and both were forced back after hitting their opponent.

Qin Ming originally planned to let Riolu take advantage of its speed so that it could attack the opponent first and catch them off guard.

Unfortunately, it did not actually produce that effect.

Riolu's base Speed ​​stat reaches 60, almost double Machop's, and its Speed ​​is further boosted by Quick Attack.

However, its high speed does not provide a significant advantage in close-quarters combat.

Slow wrist strength refers to slow movement speed.

However, the speed of his punches is by no means slow.

These two are not the same concept.

"Currently, it might be more suitable for the dog to use 'Lightning Flash' as ​​a dodging skill, as its effectiveness would be greatly reduced when used for attacking."

"However, the dog only started real combat in the last day or two and hasn't been seriously trained in this skill yet, so it's already quite good that it can do this well."

In the game, once a spirit learns a skill, its proficiency will automatically reach the maximum level.

However, reality is not a turn-based game where you take turns. Although you may have mastered the skills, you need to practice constantly to become proficient, or even master them.

Of course, reality isn't like a game where you can only master four skills.

In an instant, Qin Ming suppressed his various thoughts, knowing clearly that they were still in battle and it was inappropriate to hold a debriefing meeting now. He quickly focused his attention back on the battle at hand.

After two rounds of combat, Riolu and Machop swapped moves twice.

Through the connection in his mind, Qin Ming discovered that Riolu's condition was worse than his wrist strength.

After all, the two Pokémon had just clashed head-on, and Machop, with its higher base stats in Endurance, Attack, and Defense, as well as its higher level, clearly had the advantage.

Swapping skills is not a worthwhile thing for Riolu.

If this battle continues, Riolu, which is at a disadvantage in all aspects, will definitely lose.

There are wins and losses, that's normal.

However, Riolu is currently in a period of building confidence, and a defeat could very likely dampen its spirits and cause it to lose confidence in itself.

Qin Ming dared to let Riolu face a stronger opponent because he had something to rely on.

"Wrist~!!!"

After two rounds, this time Wanli took the initiative and launched an attack, using a sharp leg technique, a low kick.

Faced with the charging arm strike, Qin Ming did not choose to have the faster Riolu dodge. Instead, he waited until the arm strike was five meters away from Riolu and could no longer stop before issuing the command.

"You dog, you'll pay me back double!!"

Double the damage: Physical damage received from an opponent will be returned to the same opponent at twice the normal rate.

"Leo~!!!"

Upon receiving Qin Ming's instruction, Riolu adopted a defensive stance, holding his hands in front of him. When the wrist strike hit, he immediately raised his hands, returning double the force he had just received to his opponent.

"Wrist~!!!"

"Wrist~!!!"

The wrist strike, delivered with twice the force, sent him flying seven or eight meters. He stopped, looking completely bewildered.

He was the one who attacked just now, so how come I'm the one who's seriously injured?

Wanli's eyes were filled with great confusion.

For someone who uses force without intelligence, it's clearly difficult to understand what just happened.

"Wrist~!!!"

The little brain of the wrist-strength turned, and although it couldn't figure it out, it didn't stop it from continuing to attack, using the same sharp kicking techniques as before.

A hint of joy flashed in Qin Ming's eyes; judging from the strength of his wrist, he knew this round was in the bag.

"Dog, keep paying back double."

"Leo~!!!"

Riolu adopted a blocking stance, using the force of its wrist to return double the power to its opponent.

"Wrist~!!!"

"Wrist~!!!"

The wrist, struck with twice the force, fell to the ground, leaving its little head dazed.

What exactly happened in between?!

Although Arm Strength didn't understand what had just happened, it was unwilling to continue attacking. Being repeatedly knocked away by Double Strike had depleted its stamina, making it much more cautious.

Qin Ming's lips curled into a smile: "The dog is feigning an attack, but in reality, it's waiting for the opponent to counterattack before retaliating with double the force."

"Leo~!!!"

Upon receiving Qin Ming's instruction, Riolu quickly stepped forward and raised its hand as if to attack.

Despite Machop becoming more cautious due to being repeatedly knocked away, he still instinctively countered Riolu's attacks.

He used that low kick again.

This was exactly what Qin Ming wanted.

boom! !

His wrist was once again sent flying by twice the force, and he finally fell to the ground, his eyes spinning as he lost all his strength.

[Hint: You have gained 2600 experience points for defeating your opponent with your Riolu's strength.]

[Hint: Riolu's level has been increased to Lv.13]

[Hint: Riolu's level has been increased to Lv.14]

……

The voice of gaining experience rang in Qin Ming's mind, and a look of joy flashed in Qin Ming's eyes.

Based on the combat experience of the past few days, the greater the difficulty of the battle, the more experience you gain.

This is similar to games.

"Good job, dog!!"

As Qin Ming and Riolu high-fived, Qin Ming handed Riolu a stamina-restoring berry. Although Riolu had won, it had also greatly depleted Riolu's strength, leaving it at its limit.

"Leo~!!!"

"Leo~!!!"

Riolu was thrilled to have defeated a stronger opponent, Armwyn, his red eyes gleaming with pride.

After battling with Machop, Riolu's confidence was further boosted.

Riolu no longer lacks the confidence that came with his weak body in the past; now, he exudes confidence in every move he makes.

Qin Ming placed an Orange Berry next to Machop and stood up, saying to Riolu, "Hey, it's time for us to go back!"

First, he fought a fierce battle with a group of stone balls, and then he fought against a wrist-strength opponent, which greatly depleted his physical strength and energy.

In the wild, wild spirits may appear at any time.

If you encounter a stubborn Geodude or Stone Ball, then you're in trouble.

Chapter 19, just ask yourself, who wouldn't want to subdue Rayquaza?
