圆陆鲨想当训练家

"Meow!"

A flash of white light appeared, and a slender, noble-looking blue and white Hakuryu appeared in the center of the arena.

It hovered gracefully, its body subtly surrounded by a misty aura.

"Clang? (Hakrond? It brought an Everstone?)"

Lu Sha gestured for the Scizor to step forward, but his heart was filled with doubt.

Normally, Dragonair evolves into Dragonite around level 55, and the individual differences are generally no more than 2 levels.

In other words, without the Everstone to deliberately suppress it, this Dragonair would at most have just crossed the threshold of Gym level.

Can a gym-level fighter beat a near-champion level fighter?

Is this woman letting someone off the hook, or is she looking down on someone?

"No Everstone. This kid is only level 51, just reached the Gym Leader level."

As if seeing through Lu Sha's thoughts, Dorasena explained with a smile:

"Don't worry, I won't underestimate my opponent. Don't forget, I'm also a Dragon Tamer. In my opinion, the current situation is truly evenly matched."

Evenly matched?

Is crossing 11 levels also called being evenly matched?

"Click! (Since you're so confident, let's begin!)"

Lu Sha said no more, but looked at the red figure in front of him:

"Cut! (First time conducting, please give me your feedback!)"

"just!"

The scyther crossed its pincers, its eyes blazing, its fighting spirit instantly boiling.

This is its first time fighting for Lu Sha.

Based on its past as a Hunter Pokémon, it must win this battle.

If you lose, you lose your value.

Once you lose your value, you will be treated coldly and eventually abandoned.

It would rather die than experience being abandoned again!

"Battle begins!"

"Click! (Battle begins!)"

As the human and the shark shouted in unison, the Pokémon battle without a referee began.

"Meow! (Please let it rain!)"

At the very start of the scene, Dora Sena and Hakron simultaneously raised their necks.

Amidst the crisp roar of the dragon, the blue orb on the neck of the Haku Dragon shone brightly, and dark clouds gathered out of nowhere above the originally dry indoor training ground, instantly pressing down.

The raindrops fell in a light drizzle.

Seeing that it was raining, Lu Sha breathed a sigh of relief.

If Dragonair were to activate Sunny Day and use Flamethrower, Scizor's four times resistance to fire might actually be able to close the gap in raw power.

Rainy days pose little obstacle for the scythe.

"Too slow reaction time!"

Dorasena's voice pierced through the rain, "Are you just going to watch me turn on the weather? Thunder!"

Seeing Lu Sha's obviously slow-to-react novice trainer demeanor, she abandoned the previous empathic transmission command and instead shouted it out directly.

The purpose was not to command Hakron, but to teach Lu Sha a lesson.

Lu Sha was indeed a beat slow, but it wasn't that he was distracted; rather, it was because Dorasena had just activated her rainmaking spell too quickly.

From the start of the battle to Hakron casting Rain Dance, there was almost no interval.

After all, this was Lu Sha's first time commanding a battle as a trainer.

When he was working with the young lady before, with their tacit understanding and mutual understanding, he only needed to take care of himself.

Boom!

Lightning exploded in the dark clouds.

"Click! (High-speed movement followed by shadow clones and consecutive slashes! React automatically in case of emergency.)"

Lu Sha spoke urgently, issuing three commands for each move, along with a supplementary sentence.

He didn't know if Scizor could process commands, but to cope with the ever-changing battlefield, this was the only thing he could do for now.

Given his current novice command skills, coupled with the fact that he can only command from the back, he must rely on Scizor's autonomy as much as possible.

Fortunately, he never lacked trust in Pokémon.

Anyway, Scizor definitely has more combat experience than him.

"just!"

The scythe, which had been standing still like a pine tree, moved the moment the command was given.

It transformed into a red lightning bolt, tearing through the gloomy rain curtain, and charged straight towards Hakron.

At the same time, lightning seemed to lock onto the Scizor and struck down with a deafening roar!

At the critical moment, the red figure instantly split into dozens of afterimages.

The thunder roared, but only shattered a few false illusions.

"A very good tactic; they actually used a shadow clone to block the lightning."

Dora Sena smiled in approval, while calmly issuing the instructions:

"Tighten!"

"Since we can't hit them, let's control them!"

Dorasena raised her neck high, almost perfectly in sync with Hakron's movements.

Faced with the Scizor's rapidly descending pincers, the Dragonair neither dodged nor evaded, but instead coiled around it like a soft whip.

Lu Sha stared intently at the scene, a huge question mark flashing through her mind.

Can you really take that head-on?

The next second, Scizor's pincers slammed into Dragonair.

Hakron howled in pain, and Dorasena on the sidelines also showed a pained expression on her face at the same time.

But more than pure pain, there was a sense of enjoyment in the battle in those eyes.

That really suits that woman's personality... Lu Sha sighed.

The effect of the combo attack is that each subsequent attack will deal double the damage of the previous one.

Lu Sha checked yesterday; the Instinct-level combo attack can be stacked three times, quadrupling the damage.

Furthermore, because the first hit of the combo doesn't deal much damage, it can trigger Scizor's Advanced ability, increasing the damage of this attack by 1.5 times.

The first combo attack dealt moderate damage, but the Dragonair withstood it and managed to entangle the Scizor.

The Scizor didn't stop attacking, but the Dragonair's tight grip slowed its second slash by half a beat.

Hakron is also very fast.

It suddenly spit a mouthful of water bubble at the giant mantis in its arms!

"Cut! (Chop off its mouth!)"

When Lu Sha shouted, she knew she was too late.

The water bubble has already been launched.

Meanwhile, Scizor's attack had already struck Dragonair's body.

"Meow!"

"just!"

Both Pokémon were in pain at the same time; Scizor was slammed to the ground by the water bubble, while Dragonair was sent flying backward.

"Click! (Scizor, pressing its advantage, continues its high-speed movement to close the distance, seizing the opportunity to unleash a combo attack!)"

The cold rain lashed against Lu Sha's body, but he, who always disliked getting wet, was completely oblivious, his eyes fixed intently on the battle.

After only two encounters, he realized his problem.

As a Pokémon, he doesn't need to think too much during battles; he just needs to unleash his full potential.

With the young lady's abilities, she can handle most situations; all she needs to do is plan her tactics in advance.

But as a trainer, there are many more things to do.

You need to keep up with the pace of the battle, think about tactics, anticipate tactics, and make the most appropriate on-the-spot reactions...etc.

Even if you have the strongest hand, if you can't keep up with the pace, your advantage will vanish in an instant.

This was only because Dora Sena went easy on her.

Judging from the speed at which Hakron appeared and summoned rain, that woman's on-the-spot command speed was more than a level faster than his.

"just!"

The scyther doesn't have as many complicated thoughts as the land sand.

Fight, obey orders, and win!

That's the whole point of its existence.

"The master's commands are absolute and infallible."

This is a memory that Hunter A etched into its mind when he trained it.

If it can't do that, then it's incompetent.

Boom!!!

Thunder rumbled again in the sky.

Seeing the lightning flash in mid-air again, Lu Sha opened his mouth, but swallowed the command back and instead began to frantically shake his limbs.

Soul Dance Sonic Boom!

By the time his instructions were relayed, the thunder had already struck the Scizor.

Given his current reaction speed, any command he gives will affect Scizor's judgment.

He must increase his own strength!

To adapt to this level of combat pace, you need to become faster and more agile!

Right now, there's only one thing he needs to do: trust Scizor!

This time, Scizor was incredibly fast, its red afterimages leaving streaks of light in the rain, even the lightning bolts that came down from the sky could only follow behind and eat its dust.

Fast! Extremely fast!

"Hold on!"

Dorasena narrowed her eyes, her tone remaining unchanged, her expression still calm and composed.

However, when she clearly shouted "hold on," Hakron reacted in a completely different way.

The Hakkar opened its mouth, and another bubble shot towards the Scizor.

Bubbles blocked its path, lightning pursued it, and it seemed the Scizor had nowhere to escape.

Without any hesitation, the scythe charged forward fearlessly.

Lu Sha watched from the sidelines, not interfering with the scyther's actions.

Perhaps after they've worked out together better, he'll be able to perfectly control Scizor to counter their attacks.

But he can't do those things yet.

Then the only option is to anticipate the situation and trust the Scizor's cooperation.

Lu Sha grinned and spat out a mouthful of dragon-type energy into the air.

"interesting..."

Dora Sena's eyes narrowed slightly, her perception allowing her to instantly capture all the movements in the room.

But she did nothing more than slowly raise her right arm, and the Dragon Fang on her wrist glowed with a deep, eerie blue light.

If Gadriya were here, she would definitely be able to sense the presence of Dorasena and Hakron, which are now much closer, as if they have become one.

"just!"

The instant Dorasena raised her hand, Scizor unleashed a flurry of pincers, crashing head-on into the water cannon.

The first move resulted in a stalemate!

The second time, the blister burst!

It was also because of the delay caused by the water bubble that the lightning in the sky finally caught up with it.

Boom!

The lightning struck, hitting the Scizor's body and causing it to momentarily freeze.

Crackling lightning surged wildly across the red armor, and raindrops struck it, sending jolts of electricity through it, making it look like a red war god in the rain.

"just!"

The Scizor roared, and at the same time, it unleashed its third powerful slash, slamming down on Dragonair.

The three consecutive attacks combined, along with Scizor's superior raw power, make it even stronger.

Now that this has been confirmed, Hakron will definitely have to take a break.

"Meow!"

At the critical moment, Hakron lowered its head slightly, and a transparent glow appeared on its body.

Hold on!

It can withstand an attack without taking damage.

Unless Scizor's attack reaches the Elite Four level, it cannot break through Guard.

"Click! (Now!)"

With a crack, a cluster of dragon stars fell from the sky and struck the glowing surface of Hakkuru's body.

The damage isn't high, but as long as it's damage, it can break through the defenses.

Even if you improve your proficiency, you can only increase the success rate of multiple uses, but you cannot increase the number of defenses per instance.

This time, he won!

"just!"

Almost simultaneously with breaking through the defenses, Scizor's pincers seemed to have timed it perfectly, slamming into Dragonair's unsuspecting body.

"Meow!!!"

Hakron screamed as his body was slammed and thrown into the air, tracing a path dozens of meters before crashing heavily onto the muddy ground, leaving a deep ditch in its wake.

Rainwater mixed with mud stained its blue and white body, making it look extremely disheveled.

"Clang? (He's still not down?)"

Seeing that Hakron, though weak, still managed to raise its head unsteadily, Lu Sha sensed something was wrong.

Something is very wrong.

Wusong's Gym-level Pokémon are absolutely no match for this Dragonair.

Even though they're roughly the same level, Dragonair isn't a tank, and its resistances aren't much higher than Wusong's Pokémon.

What happened?

"Giggle giggle!"

"This is the first lesson your teacher taught you: never underestimate the bond between Pokémon and their trainers!"

Dorasena raised her head with a smile, her face showing no sadness at impending defeat.

She gently swayed her raised right arm, the dragon's fang hanging from her wrist jingling.

"Hakuron! Stand up!"

"Click? (Huh? Could it be?)"

Lu Sha's lips twitched slightly.

Then, just as he had predicted.

An invisible energy wave rose from Dorasena's fingertips and flowed into Hakron's body.

Lu Sha couldn't see it, but as a Dragon-type Pokémon, he could clearly sense it.

No?

What happened to the bond we were promised?

What's the difference between what you're doing and a rich girl cheating with superpowers?

Under Lu Sha's stoic gaze, Hakuryu seemed to be encouraged by its trainer, slowly struggling to its feet, floating up once more, and standing on the battlefield.

This isn't about whether Hakron is meaty enough; it's about Dorasena being too hardcore.

Lu Sha felt a little numb.

He began to understand how others felt when facing Cattleya.

It's clearly a Pokémon battle, so why are the trainers involved?

Oh? I'll finish mine first? That's fine then.

Let's do it again!

"Click! (Is this some kind of healing fluctuation? The recovery ability is ridiculously overpowered!)"

Seeing that even the scratches on Hakron's body had disappeared, Lu Sha's shark-like face turned black, but it was still acceptable.

Their strength is undeniable; as long as Dorasena doesn't step in, no matter how many times they come, their side will always be stronger.

"As I said, in Pokémon battles, it's not just about the strength of the Pokémon! Bonds are also a very important factor."

Dora Sena ignored Lu Sha's complaints and waved enthusiastically:

"Hakkaron, the water level is much lower now, time to climb the waterfall!"

Haklong roared to the sky, and with his roar came the rain that had been accumulating in the arena. In an instant, the water on the ground surged up and turned into a huge wave several meters high!

The Hakkarosaurus stood atop the waves, swarming down on the Scizor.

ha?

That's bullshit about not considering strength; you're just taking advantage of the fact that I can't buff Scizor.

And what you're saying—aren't these the very words I, Shark, usually say when Miss is around?!

Lu Sha was internally ranting and raving, but her words didn't slow down at all:

"Crack! (Dodge! Simultaneously move at high speed and follow up with a sword dance!)"

Fine, you have your bond skills, and I have my amplification skills.

Let's see who can hold out longer in the end!
