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

"Whether in terms of stats or level, the Great Wolfhound is no match for this guy."

"but...."

Chi Hong glanced at the large wolfhound, which looked eager for battle!

"good!"

"To be fair, please let Asagiri-san be the referee for this duel!"

Chi Hong unzipped his jacket, took it off, and casually tossed it to the ground.

"What's with this show-off guy?!"

Zhaoxia felt a little embarrassed; her boyfriend seemed to be acting a bit too childish today.

She ran over, picked up Chi Hong's coat, hugged it to her chest, and walked a little further away.

"Alright, then..." Asagiri walked towards Asaka and began to speak, Chi Hong interrupted her.

"No!" Chi Hong held up three fingers and continued, "I want to fight three. The three pets will fight one-on-one. Whichever side loses all three of their pets or surrenders."

"He is therefore declared the loser."

Asagiri was stunned for a moment. Could it be that this kid really has three?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. My sister has that little sea lion thing, which she holds in her arms like a mascot every day.

Wasn't it given to me by Chi Hong?

"Alright, contestants Chi Hong and Chao Wen, please get ready!"

Asagiri, still with that expressionless face, stated her father's name directly.

Chao Wen's face was long now. His eldest daughter had such a personality; she seemed to have been missing a screw since she was little.

Although he was very unhappy, he had actually gotten used to it.

He was prepared to unleash all his anger on Chi Hong, that arrogant brat!

"We can begin." Chao Wen shook his collar.

"Let's begin." Chi Hong lowered the brim of his hat.

His gesture of pressing down the brim of his hat made Asagiri glance at him again, but there was nothing unusual about it. Asagiri had become somewhat desensitized, which was a good thing.

"Then, let the pet battle begin!"

Asagiri raised her hand, swung it downwards forcefully, and then pulled Asaka back a short distance.

"Eeya!!" The sea lion in Chaoxia's arms looked very excited, waving its little forelimbs.

"Boundaries broken, will united!"

Chi Hong immediately activated his skill!

In an instant, the man and the dog were of one mind, their synchronization reaching a level that was difficult for ordinary people to achieve!

"Faced with a beast tamer of my caliber, instead of taking the initiative, you choose to counterattack?"

"No, that's not right. This brat is just too slow to react; his synchronization rate is too low!"

"Breath in fire!" Chao Wen shouted from where he stood.

The fire wolf opened its mouth and spewed out raging flames, instantly raising the surrounding temperature significantly.

"It's exactly like a jet of flame."

"Get out of the way!"

Chi Hong spoke calmly, and the large wolfhound twisted its body, causing surging flames to strike the ground, scorching it black.

"Um?"

Asahi frowned, and Asagiri was also surprised.

"Was his synchronization rate with his pet just now... a coincidence?" Asagiri glanced at her younger sister, but she didn't see any surprise on Asaka's face.

"I remember the Chao family is a family that specializes in fire-attribute pets."

"I have extensive experience in raising and training fire-attribute pets."

Chi Hong spoke, seemingly in no hurry to attack, and Chao Wen also looked down on him completely, and seeing his words, he did not let the fire wolves continue their attack.

"That's right, the pet you gave Chaoxia is a water-type, isn't it?"

"His aptitude is terrible; he's only good as a pet. Aside from making Chaoxia happy, he can't offer her any help on her path to becoming a beast tamer!"

Chao Wen spoke without giving Chi Hong any face. As soon as he said that, Qiu Qiu, the sea lion that Chao Xia was holding, raised one of its front paws and barked incessantly at Chao Wen.

If Meow Meow were here, she would translate for Chi Hong, basically saying, "Qiuqiu the sea lion's insults were really nasty..."

"That child's potential is far greater than this; you'll see her shine."

"Asaka, Asagiri-nee, please go further back and stand under the eaves."

Chi Hong could tell that Chao Wen had no intention of taking the fight seriously. Chi Hong didn't like this kind of battle, so he planned to give him a shock.

"oh."

Chaoxia nodded, took Chaowu's hand, and stepped back to stand under the eaves.

Their old house has a large courtyard, which can be used as a battleground for pets. Moreover, since this is a world of beast tamers, almost every family tries to build a large courtyard, just in case a beast tamer comes from the family.

Nobody can say for sure!

"Kid, just admit defeat now and end this farce. I can do that too. After all, losing to me isn't shameful."

"But you have to apologize to me properly, and then stay far away from Chaoxia!"

"Although it may sound harsh, after the Chi family's downfall, you and Zhaoxia are from completely different worlds. If you really care about Zhaoxia, you should stay away from her and not ruin her promising life."

Chao Wen sternly admonished Chi Hong, but Chi Hong was not angry at all. From a father's perspective, what he did could not be said to be wrong.

"Great Hound, use Rain Dance!"

Chi Hong gave the order, and the large wolfhound immediately roared to the sky. Soon, the sky above them became covered with dark clouds.

"No way... Could it be...?"

Asagiri opened her eyes wide and stretched her hand out into the air. Soon, she could clearly feel the raindrops falling on her hand.

"That pet beast changed the weather? What did it do? What was the underlying principle? I didn't sense any energy manifestation at all!"

The thought had just crossed Asagiri's mind.

"Splash splash~~~"

It started raining!

"That's why Chi Hong made us stand under the eaves!" Zhaoxia exclaimed excitedly, realizing what he meant. "That big wolfhound is really amazing; it easily did something we couldn't!"

"The power of flames is greatly weakened in the rain, so you're actually using the weather to suppress them? Chi Hong, you bastard..."

Asagiri was filled with emotion, and even suddenly had the thought of comparing the crimson red with the turbulent pond.

"Impossible, that crimson beast..."

"Fierce and brutal, and still in human form, it's suspected to be a tyrannical pet beast from a forbidden area. Besides dogs, Chi Hong's only animals are cats..."

"How could he possibly be a match for Crimson..."

"However, this tactical acumen might be a great asset if he joined law enforcement, or even my team..."

Asagiri has begun to consider recruiting Chi Hong into the law enforcement organization.

"Now I understand why that Lin family brat is so interested in your pet beast. It is indeed very special, but simply weakening the power of the flames isn't enough to defeat me!"

"Fire Wolf, end this farce!"

In the heavy rain, Chao Wen waved his hand, and the Fire Wolf roared as it charged toward the large wolfhound.

"Thunder Fang!"

The Great Wolfhound unleashed its Thunder Fang, and electric energy began to gather!

The lightning fangs struck the fire wolf's head hard, causing the fire wolf's entire body to tremble. Its attack did not weaken at all, and its claws glowed red, leaving several wounds on the large wolfhound's body.

The large wolfhound was sent flying backwards, and as soon as it landed, the fire wolf opened its mouth wide and bit at the wolfhound's neck!

"Fire Wolf! That's enough!" Chao Wen shouted hurriedly. He only wanted to teach Chi Hong a lesson, but he never intended to kill his pet beast!

"The attributes are still too different!" Chi Hong raised his hand and put the big wolfhound back into his pet space.

Although the fire wolf had already released its strength after hearing the command, it still bit down on the ground. It raised its head and growled at Chi Hong.

"The opponent is most likely to have 3 fire-type monsters, and the rain won't last long."

"We can't rule out Serperior for now, so..."

Chi Hong habitually took out a Poké Ball and threw it. With a click, a tall figure appeared accompanied by a burst of blue light.

"this...."

Asagiri took several steps forward, and the tall figure in front of her and the figure of the pet beast named Lucario overlapped in her vision!

"Hey cha!!"

Blaziken appeared before everyone, standing nearly 2 meters tall!

He crossed his arms and glanced at the fire wolf in front of him with utter contempt.

"This is..."

"Blazing Chicken?"

"You're telling me this is a chicken???"

Asagiri felt she was about to break down!

"Roar!!" The fire wolf roared, flames bursting from its mouth. It sensed that this creature, standing like a human, was also a fire-attribute, just like it!

"scare!!"

Blaziken stomped its foot, and flames erupted from its body!

Even the rainwater around him and the water on the ground evaporated in an instant!

"So, Uncle Chaowen, have you decided to take this seriously?"

"My Blaziken is not to be underestimated."

Chi Hong remained calm, showing no negative emotions despite having already lost a pet in the arena.

"It's hard to say..."

"Fire Wolf, Dark Impact!"

Chao Wen frowned and issued an order.

The fire wolf immediately roared and charged straight at the Blaziken, its body glowing black!

"Dark attribute skills—that's something an A-rank beast tamer can do, allowing a single pet to learn skills of multiple attributes!"

Asagiri began, explaining that she was trying to teach her younger sister some common sense.

"Thunder Fist, knock it down head-on!" Chi Hong said calmly.

The boundary has been removed, but it remains open.

"just!"

Blaziken bent its legs slightly and waited for the Fire Wolf to get close enough to his punching range.

boom!!!

A violent bolt of lightning struck, sending the fire wolf spinning back as it was punched by the lightning. It crashed through the main room door and landed inside!

Blaziken defeated Fire Wolf with a single blow!
