Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

"Don't be misled, everyone! If negative attacks don't work, just fight the Monkey King head-on, right?"

"As long as we don't disrupt its balance or intimidate it, won't the opponent's Slowpoke be missing an ability?"

"The opponent is missing a special ability, how can we not win? Everyone, charge!"

Your words were a wake-up call: Why don't you go first?

Despite the wisdom of the experts' analysis, Monkey King has already achieved a 92-game winning streak.

In the previous battles, there were plenty of back-and-forth exchanges, and Monkey King still emerged victorious.

Just as Natsuno was getting a little bored while waiting, his phone started vibrating.

"Matched opponent: Dessert King, please proceed to Arena 9!"

Everyone eagerly awaited Xia Ye's arrival.

"who is it?"

A young man rushed in from outside, accompanied by his meowing companion.

The cat had a stone hanging around its neck.

"It's me, I want to take the challenge!"

Chapter 167 The Dessert King is Actually Him

When Natsuno saw his opponent clearly, he was dumbfounded.

The dessert king in front of me is clearly the young man who runs the Miao Kou Chang Dessert Shop, and the old man's son!

Fortunately, the mask concealed Xia Ye's expression. He composed himself and went up to shake hands with the other person.

Looking at the other person's sunny and cheerful smile, Natsuno's expression was somewhat complicated.

He remembered that the dessert shop was in an area near the edge of Dark Grey City, while the battle arena was in the center of Evergreen City.

He really wanted to ask, "Doesn't Dark Grey City have a battle arena? Why do we have to come all the way here?"

Unfortunately, he's not Xia Ye now; he's Monkey King.

Moreover, since the other party has made this choice, there may be a reason behind it.

Xia Ye shook his head, turned around and walked back to his own half of the field.

Xiao Cai tilted her head and looked at Dessert King, looking very puzzled.

Natsuno whispered, "No matter who the opponent is, we must give it our all!"

Xiao Cai nodded obediently, her focused gaze returning.

The referee confirmed that both sides were in the same skill level group, and the battle began!

Natsuno looked at the other's Meow: "That's an Everstone hanging around its neck, why aren't you evolving?"

This is most likely a characteristic of highly skilled technical personnel.

Furthermore, Meow Meow has a skill to provoke, a defense skill to defend, and a direct offensive skill!

"surf!"

"provocative!"

The commands were given one after the other, but the other party did not choose to cancel the commands.

A large amount of water-attribute energy surged on Xiao Cai's side, while the opponent was rapidly approaching, with evil-attribute energy flowing around.

"Wow"

The wave surged 2 meters high and swept straight toward the opponent's half of the court.

Surfing is a move that covers the entire area and is very difficult to dodge; the opponent even actively came to meet it.

Just as they were about to meet, the other side added a command: "Jump!"

Meow Meow bent her knees and jumped up, only her lower body was hit by the impact of the wave.

At the same time, his upper body was completely dry, and the provocative move hit Xiao Cai directly.

A provocation mark appears above Xiao Cai's head, indicating that he has entered a provocative state.

The other party quickly followed up with the command: "Screech! Then bite!"

After landing, Meow Meow started shaking its body, forcefully shaking off the water that had gotten on its lower body.

Here's a little trick: when facing a move like Surf, Pokémon with fur should try to minimize the part of their body that gets hit.

This way, you don't have to get completely soaked, reducing the effects of being wet.

Natsuno had no other choice but to continue the attack: "Retreat, surf!"

Then everyone witnessed a strange sight.

Slowpoke, known for its slowness, retreats faster than Meowth, who is known for its speed.

I thought that jumping 2 meters high was the limit for this Slowpoke, but it turns out there are even stronger ones?

[What?! Slowpoke runs faster than Meowth? Slowpoke's Speed ​​tier is even higher than Meowth's?]

The opponent was also surprised by Xiao Cai's agility. In the end, the distance between them widened as they chased each other.

Once the energy from both sides was fully condensed, a huge illusory blackboard appeared in front of Meow Meow.

Meow Meow stretched out its two paws, and its huge energy claws slid across the blackboard, rubbing back and forth.

"Squeak~"

The two collided, producing a tooth-grinding, extremely grating sound.

All the audience members were forced to listen to this piercing, grating sound that lasted for several seconds, and they felt like their ears were going to break.

On the other side, Xiao Cai also showed an uncomfortable expression, but gritted her teeth and persevered, as her defense level was greatly reduced.

The energy of the surfing surged again, sweeping towards Meow Meow's location, leaving her with no way to avoid it.

The opponent added instructions: "Jump up, huddle together, and roll forward!"

Meow Meow bent her knees again, curled herself up in mid-air, and rolled forward.

As the wave swept by, Meow Meow's body spun like a top and emerged from the wave, closing the distance between her and Xiao Cai.

Natsuno's eyes lit up at the other party's action: "You can do that?"

It really does roll faster than it runs! And it reduces the area that gets wet!

Great idea, I'll steal it!

After landing, Meow Meow shook off the water while gathering energy, preparing for its next bite attack.

I don't know if Meow Meow was lucky or unlucky this time, but her entire back got wet.

The provocation mark above Xiaocai's head was still there, leaving Xia Ye helpless and with no choice but to continue.

"surf!"

Both sides concentrated their energy simultaneously, and Meow Meow used rolling to close the distance, and the chase resumed.

At this moment, Xiao Cai's physical attack was greatly reduced by the opponent, who was most likely a skilled player. Xia Ye dared not let Xiao Cai take the hit head-on.

With the help of a skilled player, the ability to counter damage, and a significantly reduced defense, can Slowpoke withstand this?

[Masaka, is the Dessert King going to replace Monkey King as the rising star in the battle? Go Dessert King!]

Everyone in the audience held their breath, not daring to blink.

Evil energy condensed in front of Meow Meow, forming a huge mouth that reached out towards Xiao Cai as Meow Meow moved.

At the same time, a 2-meter-high wave surged up behind Xiao Cai and swept fiercely forward.

"Ow!"

"Shu~"

The waves swept the cat several meters away, soaking it completely. The cat's body began to heave violently, and it was panting heavily.

Xiao Cai was also badly injured after taking the bite; two energy bite marks appeared on her body, indicating she was seriously injured.

Unfortunately, Xiao Cai is a Normal-type, which is not a type that is super effective against damage.

But everyone else saw it differently. Monkey King's 'Slowpoke' took the bite head-on and didn't fall down at all; it was incredibly resilient.

The audience members stood up one after another: "He didn't fall down? Is it another entanglement?"

At this moment, the provocation mark above Xiao Cai's head finally disappeared after a certain time.

But Natsuno no longer needs to consider variation-type moves.

No matter how resilient it is, after taking three hits from Surf, Meowth is now at its limit and can't take a fourth.

Seeing that Xiao Cai hadn't fallen, the opponent shook his head with a wry smile and raised his hand to signal to the referee.

We surrender!

Just as Natsuno was about to order the fourth surfing attack, the opponent chose to surrender and shut up.

The referee stepped forward and asked the other party again if they were sure they were conceding, and the other party nodded vigorously.

The referee declared, "Dessert King concedes defeat. Monkey King and Slowpoke are the victors in this battle!"

Although the audience felt a little disappointed, they still chose to applaud and encourage them.

The other person first ran to take out a red and white ball and put away Meow Meow before running over to shake hands with Natsuno.

"Brother Monkey, you're amazing! I'll challenge you again next time!"

Natsuno did not choose to reveal his identity, but simply nodded slightly to the other party to show his approval.

"If you don't give up and choose to fight us to the end, the worst that can happen is that we both fall to the ground."

"I admire your decision to minimize damage to your Pokémon when you knew you couldn't win!"

Can you tell me why you chose to play competitive matches?

The other person scratched his head, somewhat shyly: "A great figure inspired me, who was immersed in the past."

"I'm back on my feet now and I want to try many new things!"
