Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Thump—thump—

Just then, appearing with heavy steps at the corner was the belated rhinoceros!

Chapter Sixty-Seven: An eye for an eye

It looks like a dinosaur, with a gray body, a sharp drill on its head, spikes on its back, huge feet that leave dents in the ground, strong and powerful limbs, a large armor on its chest, and a powerful tail that swings with great force, exuding a powerful burst of energy.

A rhinoceros with a drilled horn!

This must be the leader of this herd of one-horned rhinoceroses.

After the one-horned rhinoceros evolved into the drill-horned rhinoceros, it not only walked on two legs, but also lost the reckless charging that it had in its one-horned rhinoceros form.

"Hoo-ha!!"

Looking at the several one-horned rhinoceroses lying in the passageway, the horned rhinoceros's eyes flashed with a ferocious red light.

Xia Yan glanced at it, and at the two one-horned rhinoceroses with their backs to him not far in front of him, but he did not panic.

This was expected.

The reason why Beedrill was in such a hurry to deal with the few rhinoceroses and to stack up deadly stingers was to prepare for this rhinoceros.

The rhinoceros with the horned horn was not as fast as the one-horned rhinoceros, so it arrived a little late, and Xia Yan took advantage of this time difference.

"No rush, let's deal with Togepi first."

"Chocolate!"

Pokobi responded, its confidence and self-assurance greatly boosted by defeating a one-horned rhinoceros; its small face was brimming with confidence.

It turns out it wasn't as weak as it had imagined.

Although it defeated two opponents in the previous exhibition match, the feeling then was completely different from now.

Mosquito Coil was tricked with a gift, while Six-Tails was simply killed by a flick of its finger.

Moreover, it had encountered quite a few one-horned rhinoceroses in the underground tunnels back then, but every time it saw one-horned rhinoceroses, Togepi would avoid these big guys that looked silly but were actually very fierce.

But now, it can defeat a rhinoceros with a horned horn.

“Chocolate…”

Turns out I'm pretty strong after all...

With that in mind, Togepi confidently cast Water Pulse once again.

boom!

The bursting stream of water struck a one-horned rhinoceros, eliciting a low, painful moan.

At the same time, Beedrill also slashed another Rhinoceros; the damage from the cross-cutting attack was beyond what a Superior Rhinoceros could withstand at this point.

After the first strike, another spin followed, and the long needle reaped the Rhinoceros that Togepi had hit with Water Pulse but had not yet completely defeated.

This is the end.

All six one-horned rhinoceroses were defeated.

"Chocolate!"

Togepi excitedly called out to Beedrill.

The bee laughed too.

Casey witnessed this scene.

A hint of melancholy flashed in his eyes.

It's not that it's envious or jealous, but it feels like it didn't play a significant role in this experience.

Togepi, who joined the team later than Togepi, can now defeat a rhinoceros on its own.

I feel a bit useless.

Xia Yan, who was standing next to her, could clearly sense Casey's emotional fluctuations.

As a spirit that has been with him since birth, Xia Yan knows this little guy's condition all too well.

“Casey.” He gently patted its back.

"Kexi?" Casey called softly.

"You did a great job."

As he spoke, he grinned.

Casey was taken aback for a moment, then quickly understood what Xia Yan meant.

Although Xia Yan only said this one sentence, many things can often be expressed with just a look and an expression.

It slowly came to its senses.

Yes, it's still young. Togepi is older than it, maybe even older than Beedrill, and it's only been born a short time.

They simply assumed that the Pokémon that joined the team first should be considered senior and therefore stronger.

With that thought, I felt relieved.

There's nothing to worry about. Since it's not strong enough now, it can just work hard to improve. One day it will fight alongside Beedrill and Togepi.

Sensing that Casey's emotions were stabilizing, Xia Yan's smile widened.

Elves are not tools; they have their own personalities and thoughts.

Just like Beedrill's persistence, Togepi's mischievousness, and Abra's strong will, they are all part of the Pokémon.

Trainers cannot simply increase the strength of their Pokémon.

It's also important to take care of their emotions and thoughts, and to provide proper guidance and support. This is a crucial part of a trainer's growth process.

Especially for newly born Pokémon like Abra, their personalities, thoughts, worldviews, and values ​​require proper guidance from their trainers.

This will greatly influence Casey's future development direction and potential.

Ultimately, elves are companions, not cold, lifeless tools.

Just as Xia Yan was trying to comfort Casey, the rhinoceros with a horn came right in front of them.

Beedrill.

"Hiss!"

The bee nodded.

Warm-up done, now leave the rest to me!

At this moment, Beedrill is at its peak in both condition and spirit.

hum-

With a slight tremor of its wings, the golden patterns flickered, and it swiftly covered a considerable distance, appearing before the rhinoceros with its horned wing.

Meanwhile, the rhinoceros's attention had long been drawn to the beedrill.

Lift your foot and stomp heavily on the ground.

boom!!

Centered on the foot of the rhinoceros with its horned claws, the ground cracks layer by layer, revealing fine, spiderweb-like patterns.

At the same time, as sharp spikes burst from the ground, the Stone Attack locked onto the approaching Beedrill.

The giant bee's scarlet compound eyes flickered, and its body appeared as multiple shadow clones, demonstrating its Shadow Clone Technique, with its true form shifting among many shadows.

puff!

The spikes that shot out from the attacking stone hit their mark, but instantly shattered like bubbles.

The giant bee, now revealing its true form, flapped its wings again, its speed increasing dramatically. With its two needles held horizontally, it appeared before the rhinoceros.

The rhinoceros squinted, lowered its head to meet the Beedrill's long stinger, which was shooting at it like an arrow, and pointed its spiraled horn at the beedrill.

Click click click!

The cone rotates, accompanied by a heavy layer of ground-based energy.

Straight-through drill!

The giant bee did not back down and unleashed its deadly stinger.

Bang! !

This is the clash of angle and needle, the polishing of sharpness against sharpness.

The immense strength of the Rhinoceros forced Beedrill to a sudden halt in its rapid advance. In contrast, the Rhinoceros, with an incredulous expression, stumbled backward until its tail touched the ground, preventing it from falling.

Its proud strength and moves were completely ineffective against Beedrill, and it even fell into a disadvantageous position.

Clearly, it had no idea how terrifying a Beedrill covered in deadly stings could be.

hum-

With a dull whistling sound from its wings, the Beedrill quickly regained its balance and charged forward again, heading straight for the Horned Rhinoceros's embrace.

A cross-shaped blade sliced ​​through.

Bang!

Just as the Rhinoceros managed to regain its balance, it was struck by a cross-shaped shot from Beedrill, causing it to fall backward uncontrollably.

However, Beedrill would not waste such a physical weakness.

The long needle pierces out.

This time, a yellowish-brown halo appeared on the sharp needle, adding a touch of weight to it.

It's also a straight-thrust drill!

Having witnessed the Beedrill released by the Rhinoceros's Charge, I learned a lot about the tricks of this move from it.

Thus, the straight-push drill move was used for the first time in actual combat.

They will repay them with their own methods.

Bang! !
