Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

Mightyena is a single-type Dark-type Pokémon. Among all Dark-type Pokémon, Mightyena is among the worst, mainly because its base stats are too low!

It was only slightly taller than that big rat, Lada.

"Chi Hong, I think you released the pet using a storage device. This pet didn't even come from the pet space, so where did you get it? Did you steal it?"

"You'd better turn yourself in right away, otherwise the stolen pet might attack its owner if your Beastmaster level isn't high enough."

Lin Zhou continued to look down on Chi Hong, his words filled with insults and belittling.

Chi Hong didn't care; he just needed to play the role of the taciturn strongest, whose dialogue box would only show "..........".

"It's Lin Zhou and... never mind, I don't know him."

At this moment, a long-haired woman in the club's uniform walked over gracefully, saying that she did not know Chi Hong, but Chi Hong knew her.

This woman's name is Zhang Li. She used to work here, or more precisely, she worked here before the Chi family fell into ruin.

Even a dog wouldn't believe she didn't know Chi Hong. When Chi Hong was little, she practically lingered around him all the time.

"Ms. Zhang, I'd like to trouble you to act as the referee. If anyone tries to renege on their debt, you'll be able to make a judgment," Lin Zhou said, glancing at Zhang Li's legs peeking out from under her cheongsam.

"Of course, no problem, then..."

"The duel begins. Victory is determined by either side's pet falling and losing its ability to fight, or by the pet voluntarily surrendering!"

"Pet battle! Begin!"

Zhang Li raised her hand and announced the start of the match. She didn't even turn on the scoreboard or the video recording.

To her, Chi Hong, a good-for-nothing whose family had fallen on hard times and who had no ambition, was lucky to even have his own pet beast. Why should he compete with a rich second-generation like Lin Zhou?

"Shadow Leopard! Tear it apart!!"

Lin Zhou suddenly flung his hand away, a mysterious smile appearing on his face, as if victory was assured.

The Shadow Leopard roared and pounced straight at the Great Wolfhound. The Great Wolfhound stood still, waiting for its trainer, Chi Hong, to give it a command.

Chi Hong was extremely excited at this moment. He had been playing games and watching anime, but this real battle scene could only appear in his dreams.

Just as the Shadow Leopard's claws were very close to the Great Wolfhound, Chi Hong immediately unleashed a Pokémon Battle Mythic-level move!

He said, "Get out of the way!"

The moment the command was given, the Great Wolfhound made a graceful shift, instantly moving to the side of the Shadow Leopard.

"Flame Fang!"

Chi Hong raised his hand and pointed, and the second command was given seamlessly.

The large wolfhound opened its mouth wide, and in front of it, a set of fangs formed entirely of flames bit down hard at the side of the shadow leopard's body!

boom!!!

Flames erupted, and the Shadow Leopard tumbled and crashed to the ground some distance away. Several charred teeth marks on its body were still emitting black smoke.

quiet.....

The onlookers were all stunned. From the start of the duel to the defeat of Shadow Leopard, it took no more than 10 seconds!

"Fire...fire-based skills?"

"When Chi Hong came, he told me that this pet was a large wolfhound. A large wolfhound... it's a fire-type pet?"

I must say, the sunrise was truly astonishing!

Most trainee-level beast tamers start their training with C-level pets. These basic pets, except for a few extremely special ones that inherently possess a certain attribute and can learn attribute skills, can only rely on their claws and teeth, that is, their physical weapons, to fight.

After all, most people, even if they happen to capture a C-grade pet with attributes, would choose to sell it to someone else at a high price, since the breeding and treatment of such a pet is a huge expense.

Zhang Li was also stunned. As a senior referee at the club, she knew a lot about pet battles.

The pet beast didn't move at all when it was about to be attacked, but as soon as Chi Hong spoke, the pet beast called the Great Wolfhound reacted almost instantly!

"It's practically muscle memory..."

"No! This is even faster than muscle memory. This level of coordination is practically synchronous. Only a B-level beast tamer could do this."

"That's not right either. This large wolfhound is carried in a storage device. There's only one possibility for it to be so obedient: this wolfhound was passed down from the family..."

Thinking about this, Zhang Li's eyes gradually became strange, and she made a very plausible deduction.

"How could this happen?!"

On the other side, Lin Zhou, the owner of the Shadow Leopard, was dumbfounded. He hadn't even considered the possibility of losing, let alone being instantly killed.

"2000 yuan, bank transfer or cash?" Chi Hong calmly patted the big wolfhound's head. It was just a matter of taking down "Insect Catcher" with one skill.

"Don't get cocky!"

"I haven't lost yet! You only beat me by sheer luck. I still have a pet beast; let's see how you beat me!"

Lin Zhou was clearly hysterical. His expression became distorted, and he couldn't accept losing to a loser like Chi Hong. He gritted his teeth and pulled out a rhombus-shaped device from his pocket. Chi Hong glanced at it and immediately understood that this was the "pet storage device" that Lin Zhou had mentioned before.

This item is used to store pets that you haven't tamed and cannot store in your own pet space.

Speaking of the pet space, Chi Hong suddenly realized that he didn't have one either. However, he had over a thousand Pokémon in his Pokémon Box, and he was too lazy to bother with these pets that required raising their affinity and strength from scratch.

"Chi Hong! You're doomed!" Lin Zhou gritted his teeth and threw out the storage device. The device exploded after landing, and with a burst of light, a huge lizard with a bulging back and a brown body appeared in everyone's sight.

Rock Ridge Lizard: Level 38

Attributes: Rock, Ground

"Yo..."

"Wow, level 38! That's impressive."

Chi Hong's eyes lit up. If it were just an instant kill, it would be quite boring. A level 38 pet beast, even 2 levels higher than his Great Wolfhound, was the only way to motivate Chi Hong.

"Lin Zhou! You are not yet capable of controlling this rock-spine lizard!"

"Isn't this your brother's pet animal?"

Chaoxia immediately realized something was wrong; this was Lin Zhou, Lin Man's pet beast.

"Stop your nonsense! How could I not be capable of commanding? Who do you think you are?" Lin Zhou pointed at the sunrise, his face full of anger.

"Chi Hong, admit defeat! That's a foul. That's not his pet beast; that's a B-rank pet beast. Your Great Wolfhound has no chance against it!"

"Be careful not to get hurt. Pets that exceed your taming level may attack their tamers!"

Zhaoxia immediately reminded him that it was just a simple battle, and she didn't want anything to happen to Chi Hong.

"This can't be considered a foul. After all, this contestant's wolfhound was also released from the pet storage device, wasn't it?" Zhang Li said with a smile. She wasn't concerned about whether the rock lizard would harm the contestant; she only wanted to show that Lin Zhou hadn't violated the rules.

"Whoa!!"

The rock-spine lizard shook its body and let out a cry. Upon closer inspection, the raised spine on its back was as hard as a rock, hence its name.

Chi Hong gave a thumbs-up to the sunrise, then tightened his coat, pointed at the rock lizard, and shouted,

"A large wolfhound!"

"It's provoking us!"

"Use frozen teeth!"

Ground type is twice as weak to Ice type. It's only two levels apart. If this hits, it will definitely make this giant lizard suffer!
