Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Xia Yan, who stayed in the house, spent his days training Pokémon and rarely went out.

After a short period of simulation and experimentation, Beedrill finally mastered the move "Drill Rush," but it struggled to get the hang of "Knock Off" because it was not sensitive to Dark-type energy.

There's nothing we can do about it; Beedrill hasn't battled Dark-type Pokémon that many times so far.

Moreover, the learning and mastery of techniques requires a "timing".

When the opportunity arises, you might learn it all at once; if not, you can only practice and accumulate knowledge gradually, striving to achieve a breakthrough through gradual learning.

Casey does indeed possess extraordinary talent in superpowers, and his mastery of them is improving day by day. His daily self-training has even allowed him to faintly touch the threshold of the "meditation" technique.

As for Togepi, it had never received any training, so Xia Yan's plan for it was to start with the most basic training, including physical exercise, correction of some unreasonable releases of moves, and learning to grasp the rhythm and skills of battle.

Overall, the Pokémon's strength is steadily improving, which is a good thing and indicates a positive trend.

The riots by wild Pokémon around Saffron City are having an increasingly significant impact on the city itself, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets, mostly League Trainers on patrol.

But this doesn't seem to have much of an impact on Xia Yan.

Until that night.

Beedrill and Casey were both awakened from their sleep.

Chapter Sixty-Five: The One-Horned Rhinoceros

"what happened?"

Xia Yan sat up in bed, instantly regaining consciousness.

The reactions of Beedrill and Casey alerted him.

"Hiss—"

The bee flew to the window, looked at the empty street outside, and called out.

"Ok?"

Xia Yan frowned and went to the window. "You said you just saw the shadow of an elf flash by?"

Beedrill nodded emphatically.

“Yes!” Casey chimed in.

"Are there no wild Pokémon with trainers? Have the Pokémon that caused the riots outside Saffron City already been allowed into Saffron City? Or is it...?"

After a slight hesitation, Xia Yan decided to go and take a look.

In any case, the presence of wild Pokémon near one's habitat indicates the existence of unstable factors.

Besides, once a wild Pokémon appears, it's unlikely to be just one.

Picking up Togepi, who was still a little drowsy, and accompanied by Beedrill and Casey, they walked out of the villa.

It can be seen clearly.

Right in front of the villa, there is a clearly marked ditch on the ground.

I squatted down and took a look.

"Is this a Rock-type Pokémon? Or was it left behind by a Ground-type Pokémon?"

Xia Yan could understand if it were a Flying-type Pokémon or some other agile Pokémon, but a slow-moving Rock-type Pokémon...

"Go and check it out, and stay vigilant."

Beedrill and Casey both nodded solemnly.

"Is that alright?"

Togepi in her arms finally woke up slowly.

Following the ravine.

at last.

I saw the wild creature in front of an artificial hill in the neighborhood.

"One-horned rhinoceros (armored rhinoceros)?"

Its entire body is gray, covered with thick, sturdy gray armor. It has a horn on its head, an arched notch on a piece of armor on its back, short, stout limbs, and a very small tail.

The Rhinoceros is a Ground/Rock type Pokémon. It is said that its bones are a thousand times denser than those of a human, and it can smash skyscrapers to pieces with just a single impact. The marks on the ground are left by it dragging its tail.

One-horned rhinoceroses have a very simple mind; they can only remember one thing at a time. So once they set their sights on you, what follows will be endless collisions.

Meanwhile, the one-horned rhinoceros, who was lying next to the artificial hill drinking water, also sensed the movement behind it.

He slowly turned around.

When he saw Xia Yan, his eyes were quickly filled with ferocity.

steaming--

It rubbed its forelegs on the ground, and two thick breaths came out of its nose.

"A one-horned rhinoceros with exceptional strength? I'm just worried about where to farm money, I'm a bit short on cash..."

Rhinoceros is a relatively valuable Pokémon, and its evolved form, Rhinoceros (Rhyperior), is a favorite among many trainers who are passionate about strength and physical prowess.

However, these spirits either don't appear at all or appear in large groups, making them difficult to catch, so they are quite valuable.

Furthermore, Xia Yan also knows that besides the Drillhorn Rhinoceros, the Unicorn Rhinoceros actually has another evolution that is currently unknown.

Once the Drillhorn Rhinoceros is equipped with "protective gear", it can evolve again into the Super Armored Rhinoceros.

Xia Yan put Togepi on the ground.

"The exceptional One-Horned Rhino, Pokerby, it's time to test the results of your training."

Besides lacking systematic training, Togepi's lack of synergy with Natsuhiko during battles is also a weakness.

These problems, besides training, obviously require real-world experience to overcome.

"Chocolate!"

Pokobi rubbed his eyes, trying to wake himself up.

Meanwhile, the one-horned rhinoceros had already charged forward.

"yawn."

Togepi was in the zone when it heard Xia Yan's command. It opened its mouth wide, and a tiny bubble slid out from the tip of its nose, just in time to meet the charge of the one-horned rhinoceros.

And you know what? To be honest, the move Togepi has practiced the most lately is the yawning move.

I find it very easy to use.

"Boom."

With a crisp sound, the steam from the yawn shattered on the face of the one-horned rhinoceros.

Affected by the yawning move, the rhinoceros didn't fall asleep immediately, but its charging pace undoubtedly slowed down.

As the rhinoceros slowed down, Togepi's eyes flashed with black light, revealing a cunning and mischievous nature, and he launched a series of treacherous attacks.

The one-horned rhinoceros shook its head vigorously, looking as if it was about to fall asleep.

But at this time, the wild elves were all affected by some unknown factor and became violent. Their agitated and excited state prevented them from falling asleep.

However, this period of struggle also gave Togepi enough buffer time.

It moved at a steady pace, avoiding a direct confrontation with the one-horned rhinoceros.

The one-horned rhinoceros is a formidable creature when it charges, but it has a fatal flaw.

Their thick armor provides extremely high defense, but it also makes their bodies exceptionally heavy, making it very difficult for them to turn around.

"Hoo-ha!!"

The one-horned rhinoceros watched Togepi run and roared, its anger growing increasingly uncontrollable.

It raises one front hoof, ready to stomp hard on the ground. Once it touches the ground, the heavy stomp move can be executed.

At this moment, Togepi stopped, put on a wronged look, twisted his body, and squeezed out a few tears.

The rhinoceros was taken aback when it saw Togepi's frail appearance.

That moment of hesitation was the opportunity that Pokopi created for himself.

Raising its hands, a ball of azure water, imbued with energy fluctuations, condensed and took shape in its palms.

"Chocolate!"

The water rippled and took shape, and Togepi, puffing out its cheeks, swung at the One-Horned Rhinoceros with all its might.

Bang!

The water sphere shattered upon contact with the rhinoceros's armor, and the immense force sent it flying a distance.

But the damage it caused was far more than just those few steps back.

It is a Ground/Rock type Pokémon.

The One-Horned Rhinoceros is four times weaker than water!

Furthermore, Rhyhorn is a physical tank with very strong physical defense but very weak special defense. However, Water Pulse is a special attack move, and Togepi had previously stacked Nasty Plot to boost its power.

This wave of water can be said to have struck the one-horned rhinoceros's Achilles' heel.

Bang! !

The one-horned rhinoceros ultimately failed to stand firm, swayed a few times, and fell to the ground.

But the one-horned rhinoceros did not lose its fighting ability and struggled to stand up again.

However, Togepi had already prepared a second Water Pulse.

The water sphere burst open with a loud crash.

"Hoo-ha!!"

The one-horned rhinoceros rolled its eyes, let out a final, pitiful roar, and lay on the ground, completely incapacitated.

At the same time, Xia Yan threw out a Poké Ball, which gently tapped the Rhyhorn's thick armor. After a crisp sound, a red light appeared and captured the Pokémon.

Ding-a-ling—
