Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

Over there, the Double Bomb Gas started to spit out dense gas as soon as it appeared, and on the other side, dozens of fireballs flew over...

At this moment, the entire mountain road is filled with gas. So what will happen when the gas comes into direct contact with open flames?

The next second, a deafening roar like muffled thunder came from the mountain path, and terrifying explosions and flames swept in. With the continuous explosions, cracks quickly appeared on the mountain sides of the cliffs.

A key word suddenly emerged in Lowe's mind...

...landslide!

Cracks in the mountains caused by gas explosions are not uncommon in mining areas, but any worker working in a mine cannot be unaware of the power of this disaster.

A violent explosion swept in and penetrated the electromagnetic shield. Even though Du Juan's Onix had good defense, it could not hold out under the continuous explosions.

For a moment, Onix's body shook violently. Under the influence of the landslide, small-scale earthquake and shock waves caused by the gas explosion, Du Juan and Lowe, who were riding on Onix, were thrown out at the same time.

"!"

At the critical moment, the Masked Cat next to him picked up Lowe by the waist in a princess hug. Lowe quickly put Ralts into the Poké Ball, and the Masked Cat held Lowe for a few jumps and got out of the collapsed mud and rocks.

When everything was settled, Luo Wei looked carefully and found that the entire mountain road had been cut off by collapsed mud and rocks. The only passage between the warehouse and the outside world was blocked. Luo Wei was on this side of the warehouse, while Du Juan seemed to be blocked outside by the cut-off mud and rocks.

While Lowe was thinking about how to solve this situation, he heard another series of explosions from the other side. The sky-high flames mixed with the flashes of the cannons kept flickering on the other side of the mud and rocks. It seemed that the boss of the lava team had also trapped himself and Du Juan together. Now, the two sides had officially started fighting...

"Okay, so what should I do here? Should I go over and help, or should I..."

When Lowe turned around, he saw a fiery figure walking slowly towards the warehouse.

"...Or should we stop this young lady from the Magma Team here?"

The person who came was the girl who came with the boss of the Magma Team before, another cadre of the Magma Team... Huoyan...

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

Chapter 49: What is lacking, is made up by momentum

The landslide completely blocked the road and trapped Du Juan and Luo Wei separately. Luo Wei thought for a few seconds and felt that with Du Juan's strength, it was not his turn to worry.

Over there, the flames shooting up into the sky and the cannon beams were fighting against each other, and it looked like the fight was quite intense. The leader of the Lava Team was definitely more powerful than the cadres, and he directly stopped Du Juan over there.

Judging from the situation at the scene, it was obvious that the other party was planning to hold Du Juan back and then arrange for their subordinates to snatch the parts from the warehouse.

Just as Lowe thought, when he turned his head, he saw the girl walking slowly towards the warehouse, Huoyan, another cadre of the Lava Team.

"Ok?"

As if noticing Lowe's presence, Huoyan stopped slightly, glanced at Lowe nonchalantly, lightly tapped his chin with his finger, with no expression on his indifferent face.

"...So there's still one that slipped through the net? Well, he looks pretty handsome, but unfortunately, I'm not interested in guys younger than me."

Her voice sounded lazy and lifeless, coupled with the cold expression on her face, Lowe suddenly had a strange idea.

Could it be that the expression on her face was not because of her cold personality, but simply because she was too lazy and didn't want to show any changes in her expression at all?

Just as Lowe was about to say something, the masked cat beside him suddenly turned around and raised its sharp claws to slap him hard. With a dull "bang", a figure that had been hiding in the dark and preparing for a sneak attack was slapped away by the masked cat.

The figure did a graceful somersault in mid-air and landed on the ground. It was a big wolfhound.

"What a pity..." Huoyan shook his head with regret, "If I had just knocked him out, I could have easily slept until the matter was over..."

"I'm so sorry..." Lowe moved his shoulders and gestured to Masked Cat, "...I came here specifically to stop you, but I can't just watch you do whatever you want."

"...Oh, you're the type of person I hate the most. Okay, now I'm totally not interested in you anymore."

Lowe was at a loss whether to laugh or cry because of what she said, and Masked Cat expressed his clear dissatisfaction without hesitation.

"…I say, Miss, are you here to pick up a rich man?"

In response, Huoyan took out a candy ball leisurely and put it into his mouth. The chewing sound mixed with the unclear voice made people even more drowsy. "So what? There is no need to separate work and life so clearly. People who are so rigid all day long...will age quickly~"

As she said this, she calmly blew a bubble. Lowe also snapped his fingers at the same time. Before the last word was uttered by either side, the big wolfhound and the masked cat beside them had already pounced on each other at the same time.

"Knock down/flame fang!"

At Lowe's command, the Masked Cat understood and nimbly moved a few times, clenching its claws and waving them directly at the flying wolfhound...

...Sparks flew from the corners of the big wolfhound's mouth. With a crisp sound, its sharp fangs touched each other up and down, and its mouth was full of flying sparks. It bit towards the masked cat.

Everything happened in a flash, and the two people's choices of moves seemed very interesting. Huoyan chose Flame Fang to restrain the Grass-type Masked Cat, while the command spoken by Lowe was knocked down by the opponent's resistance to the Dark-type skills.

However, the Masked Cat was faster than the opponent. He raised his hand and punched the opponent directly on the waist. With this punch... a large pink light burst out directly, and the big wolfhound's pupils suddenly widened and dilated in an instant.

Without even having time to make a sound, he was knocked flying by a punch, which surprised Huoyan.

"..."

That can't possibly be an evil-type knockdown skill. This effect should clearly be a fairy-type skill that restrains evil-type skills...

At the same time as Masked Cat's punch hit, some sparks from Flame Fang also grazed her arm, but Masked Cat calmly raised its paw to slap out the flying sparks, as if it didn't care at all about the damage caused by the sparks.

Huoyan looked at the big wolfhound that had fainted, and the bubbles he blew burst with a "pop".

"...Hmm, you said 'knock it down', but you actually used a completely different move."

Moreover, the Flame Fang did not cause the damage expected. This was of course because at the moment of being hit, Catface had already transformed into a fairy type due to its ability to change freely, thus offsetting the restraint of the fire type.

The big wolfhound was hit hard by a double-restrained play, and with the bonus of the Masked Cat's transformation attribute, it was naturally killed instantly on the spot.

So, Pokémon battles aren't that troublesome sometimes, right?

Faced with this scene, Huoyan was silent for a few seconds, and finally squeezed out a distressed expression, "Ah, that's why I said that I hate trouble..."

Of course, Masked Cat and Lowe were in no mood to listen to her further nonsense. As Lowe raised his hand and made a gesture, Masked Cat rushed directly towards Huoyan.

Huoyan licked her lips slowly and licked the bubble gum stuck on her lips into her mouth. At the same time, she flicked her fingers lightly, and a Poké Ball that had been held between her fingertips flew out.

With a flash of white light, a sturdy figure directly blocked the Masked Cat in front of it. The Masked Cat swung its sharp claws and hit it hard, but only a heavy muffled sound was heard.

A broad and thick turtle shell appeared in the light, and the Masked Cat just slapped the turtle shell with one claw.

The black and gray turtle shell was hit hard by a claw, but it didn't seem to have any serious damage. At the same time, the turtle shell shook, and four thick short limbs stretched out from both sides and stomped hard on the ground.

With this step, the Masked Cat seemed to realize something and immediately pulled back. At the moment she started to retreat, the ground where the Masked Cat had just stood suddenly cracked, and a stream of ochre-colored energy shot up into the sky like a fountain.

Fortunately, Masked Cat dodged in time, and the power of the earth missed, while Lowe covered his face in pain.

"...Why do I always encounter this kind of hard-shelled turtle type of enemy?"

Moreover, this time it was a “real” bastard…

...Coal Turtle, this is Firegoose's second Pokémon, and it can also be considered her main force.

In fact, her big wolfhound is better at attacking, but Lowe's masked cat is obviously better. As long as the attacker is also focused on attacking, Lowe doesn't mind fighting head-on with the opponent. He is fully confident about this, after all, this is his strong point.

But no matter whether it was the Dachao Beibi or the coal turtle in front of him, these tough opponents gave Lowe a headache...

My team still lacks a special attacker who can break down this kind of high physical defense. Fortunately, I have Ralt, and if I train him well, he can make up for this deficiency.

As for now...

“…I can’t help it. The lack of momentum is the reason!”

Chapter 50: Taking drugs in battle is part of the tactics, don’t do it if you don’t like it!

Regarding the team composition, Lowe also thought about it carefully. First of all, he must solve the problem of lack of striking surface on the special attack side. He can't let Masked Cat wave its claws at a group of iron turtles every time, right?

If Lalu Las grows up, he can be considered a qualified special attacker. Unfortunately, he is obviously unable to reach the top level at the moment. Now Lalu Las can only help play a supporting role at most.

Therefore, Lowe could only shrug helplessly. There was no other way. The rest could be made up by momentum!

The coal turtle opposite stretched out its limbs and head, and let out a dull roar while looking up. For a moment, Lowe felt that the sun above his head suddenly became brighter. Although it was noon, it was indeed the time when the sun was at its brightest.

But now Lowe could clearly feel the changes in the sun, especially the temperature around him had risen by several degrees at that moment.

"...Sunshine characteristics?"

Lowe came back to his senses immediately. The coal turtle in front of him seemed to have the classic sunlight characteristics, a terrifying ability that could completely change the weather within a range. It might not be a big deal in a game, but in reality, this ability to change the weather with just one click was simply unreasonable.

However, weather does more than simply change the battle environment and background effects. It can actually have an impact on Pokémon's skills. For a long time, tactical construction based on the weather system has been a common mainstream.

The Coal Turtle's sunlight characteristic modified the weather to "sunny", and all fire skills received damage modifications. The Coal Turtle took a deep breath, and its entire shell instantly changed from black and gray to a blazing crimson.

"..."

Seeing this scene, even without Lalulas's reminder, Lowe clearly understood that "the big one is coming"...

Sure enough, the next second, the white smoke that was originally gushing out of the holes on the coal turtle's shell quickly dissipated, and was replaced by a layer of fiery color like magma. As the coal turtle let out another dull hiss, a large amount of hot magma gushed out of the holes on its shell.

Lowe clearly felt a slight vibration coming from the ground beneath his feet, and Masked Cat quickly turned around with her toes tapping the ground. As soon as her toes moved, a circle of fire pillars rose up with the body of the coal turtle as the center. In just a short breath, one fire pillar after another burst out in a random manner like a fountain.

...Big Fire

The fire-type move with a power of up to 150 gained even more terrifying power under the blessing of a sunny day. The whole place was covered with pillars of fire in an instant, making it impossible for people to even get close.

The mass of magma gushing out from behind the coal turtle was sent into the air by its huge kinetic energy, and then fell rapidly under the influence of gravity, smashing towards it like a flaming meteor.

"...So the fireball that ignited the gas just now was this move."

Lowe quickly recognized it. This was the move that was used just now in conjunction with the gas bomb to cause a landslide by means of the gas explosion, thus collapsing the entire road.

There were pillars of fire under his feet and fireballs in the sky. The scene was like the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth in a second. Lowe did not expect that the other side could make such a big noise.

However, from the battlefield on the other side, the crimson flames illuminated half the sky, and the cannon laser fire never stopped, making the entire valley rumble.

Luo Wei estimated that if Du Juan had not been concerned about the mine that had just collapsed and the factories nearby, a second landslide might have occurred if she was not careful, so she deliberately restrained herself. The mountain would probably have collapsed at least twice.

This is the power of Pokémon. Pokémon trained by a strong enough trainer have the ability to change the terrain in an instant!

Of course, no matter how much he lamented, there was no reason for Lowe to just stand there and get beaten.

Lalulas was held in Lowe's arms. The horns on the little guy's head flashed like a signal light. Relying on his crisis-sensing ability, he predicted the locations where the fireballs and pillars of fire would appear. Then, with the help of shadow clones and instant movement, he took Lowe to a safe place.

Naturally, this would consume a lot of Lalu Las's physical strength, so Lowe opened his backpack without hesitation and took out all the recovery sprays that Dr. Odamaki had given him before.
