Pokémon, I summon my fists to attack you

"Hehe, but judging from your Pokémon, it's going to be quite difficult to defeat Gym Leader Brock..."

Wu Neng pointed at the Pikachu on the latter's shoulder.

A fragile Pikachu obviously cannot conquer the Rock Gym.

"I still have Admiral Caterpillar!"

Xiaozhi said with confidence.

Upon hearing this, Wu Neng's face was full of questions. Why did they choose those with adverse attributes? Didn't the doctor teach this before the trip?

Professor Oak: Don’t cue me.

"Ahem, with all due respect, you've already lost in terms of attribute restraint..."

"Attribute restraint? What is that?"

Xiaozhi didn't care and waved his hand casually:

"Pokémon battles are all about unyielding fighting spirit and unyielding will! Strong faith can overcome all difficulties! Right, Pikachu!"

"Pickup!"

Pikachu nodded and showed off the muscles he had built up over the past few days.

Xiaoxia, Wu Neng: "..."

Ho-Oh: This Pikachu is beyond saving..

"I'm sure I can defeat that Xiaogang. Uncle, can you help me lead the way to the Nibi Gym?"

Wu Neng frowned, it was difficult to persuade the damn ghost with kind words, but he still brought Xiaozhi to the door of the Nibi Gym.

He had no other purpose, he just wanted to be closer to here.

But he felt ashamed to face this gym and didn't dare to approach it.

The only way he could get close was by guiding the new trainer.

Xiaozhi didn't think much about it. After arriving at the destination, he pushed his hand and went directly into the gym and entered the challenge area.

He put his hands on his hips and roared loudly.

A true newcomer is so straightforward!

"I'm Ash from Pallet Town. I'm destined to become a Pokémon Master. Today, I come alone to challenge the Rock Gym!"

"The trainer can't play on his own! Idiot!"

Misty slammed the ball onto the back of Satoshi's head.

"Huh? Really? Then it's decided to be you, Pikachu!"

Xiaozhi rubbed his head.

...

1 minute later.

"Hold on, Pikachu, show your might!"

Xiaozhi, holding the dying Pikachu, came to the Pokémon Center in Nibi City...

4. My bond is beyond the sky!

Elf Center.

Xiaozhi sat quietly in the waiting area with his head down, a bleak atmosphere emanating from him.

Obviously, the newcomer was severely beaten by the society.

Pikachu's electric skills had no effect on Onix, and its proud speed only delayed its defeat.

Being completely killed instantly in the first official battle was a huge shock to Xiaozhi.

"Lost..."

Xiaozhi whispered.

"Xiaozhi, are you okay?"

Xiaoxia and Wu Neng asked worriedly.

Many novice trainers lost the courage to fight after being beaten and gave up the path of becoming a trainer.

"Xiao Gang... you are so good, Xiao Gang! Heroes are truly as numerous as the fish in the sea!"

Wu Neng: "...Do all the new trainers talk like this nowadays?"

Hmm...it seems that the real newcomers who are careless never care about this.

But how to defeat Xiaogang?

The key to the problem now is to find the key problem.

So Xiaozhi fell into deep thought.

Seeing Xiaozhi's CPU running at high speed, even smoke was rising from his head, the military advisor Xiaoxia couldn't help but offer an idea:

"How about starting with attribute restraint? Or how about I lend you my Water-attribute Pokémon?"

Xiaozhi immediately rejected her proposal.

"A real man kicks wherever they fall! Attribute restraint? Winning with that kind of despicable-sounding power, isn't that an unfair victory? A true rookie only fights head-on!"

But what does attribute restraint mean?

Just when Xiaozhi was thinking about what attribute restraint was, Wu Neng interrupted.

"Speaking of methods, Pikachu could learn Iron Tail."

"Iron Tail?"

Xiaozhi rubbed his head, obviously unfamiliar with this skill.

"Iron Tail can cause high damage to Onix, which has rock attributes."

Hearing this, Xiaozhi stood up suddenly, and a raging fire ignited in his eyes again.

"Then it's decided, let Pikachu learn Iron Tail!"

Xiaoxia: "Isn't this still attribute restraint?"

"Ahem, this is art, the art of speaking, do you understand, little girl?"

"But how are you going to get Pikachu to learn Iron Tail?"

Wu Neng changed the subject in time.

"Just use your iron willpower! Willpower!!"

Wu Neng and Xiao Xia: "..."

"Willpower isn't such a convenient thing!"

Uncle Wu Neng rubbed his temples and said to Xiaozhi helplessly:

"Generally speaking, there are three ways to learn new skills. The first is through a skill-learning machine. However, skill-learning machines are expensive and scarce, and are only sold in department stores in major cities."

"The second is through teaching by other elves."

"The third method is more difficult after all, and requires sufficient talent to understand it on your own..."

Without a second thought, Xiaozhi took over the conversation: "Then it's the third option. My Pikachu has amazing bones and is extremely talented. He was born with the appearance of an emperor."

Wu Neng suddenly felt his temples throbbing. Today's new trainers are really difficult to deal with!

He rubbed his temples again and decided to change the subject. After all, it was obviously very difficult to convince someone with a small brain capacity.

"Anyway, Iron Tail isn't something you can master in a short time, but I did remember there's a place that can increase Pikachu's combat power in a short period of time."

"Then it's settled! We'll attack both sides! Xiao Gang is nothing but a piece of shit!"

Xiaozhi made the decision happily, and the three of them waited there for more than ten minutes. After Pikachu recovered and was discharged from the hospital, Wu Neng led the way and headed towards the outskirts of Nibe City.

After being brainwashed by Xiaozhi on the way, Pikachu quickly accepted the fact that he had amazing bones, great talent, and was indeed capable of becoming the king of the rat clan.

By chance, Xiaozhi saw a huge rock on the road and immediately ordered:

"Pikachu, use Iron Tail on that rock!"

"Pickup!"

"First, imagine your tail as steel in your mind. You can do it!"

He cheered frantically.

Pikachu's eyes darkened upon hearing this, and he no longer hesitated.

The little boy kicked his short legs hard and jumped high. With a low roar, he swept his tail across the rock.

"Snapped!"

The rocks haven't changed at all.

Wu Neng sighed and said helplessly: "I've already said that new skills are not that easy to learn..."

There was a crackling sound, and the rock suddenly broke into two halves.

Xiaoxia, Wu Neng: “???”

"Great, Pikachu, you've learned Iron Tail! You're truly a genius!"

Wu Neng noticed the clue and shook his head.

"It can't be considered an Iron Tail yet. Without the use of steel energy, it relies solely on physical strength..."

"If Pikachu had fought in close combat last time, he might have won..."

Xiaoxia complained from the side.

"Steel energy... Steel... Steel? I get it! Pikachu! You need to infuse your skills with your iron will!"

Xiaoxia, Wu Neng: "..."

"Pickup!"

Pikachu closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling his own iron will.

Using the left leg as a fulcrum, he used his right leg to drive the whole body, and finally gathered the force on the tail to attack the rock. The three of them only saw a flash of silver light, and steel energy appeared for a moment!

!

Now even the Ho-Oh who was peeping among the feathers was blown out.

"It already knows it? How can it learn it with this kind of teaching?! Could it be that it is really a genius?!"

Xiaoxia and Wu Neng have become numb, so nothing they do is surprising.

"Hmm... I think I've got it. I just need to remember this feeling and practice diligently to extend the duration of my Steel-type ability."

...

Suburban Nibi.

The three of them came to a simple wooden house. Behind the house, there was a river with a small waterfall.

Wu Neng opened the door.

"Ahem, let me explain. This is a hydroelectric generator plant. The force of the waterfall turns the waterwheel, cutting the magnetic lines of force, thus generating an induced electromotive force, causing current to flow, and thus outputting electrical energy."

"Think of Pikachu as a battery. By charging Pikachu using scientific methods, the power of Pikachu's electric skills will increase dramatically in a short period of time."

"Is it scientific..."

Xiaozhi turned his gaze towards Pikachu.

"That sounds very convincing. How about giving it a try?"

"Pickup!"

Pikachu nodded fiercely, his eyes extremely sharp.

As a peerless genius of the electric mouse family, I was actually defeated by a mere Onix. This is simply a shame in my life as a mouse!

"Absorbing electrical energy?...By the way...isn't Ash's Pikachu ability a lightning rod?"
