Good morning, noon and night, hello, trainer

"Tiremeow, use the parasitic seed on this person."

Tiremeow was stunned for a moment, thought carefully, understood what Las meant, and immediately threw a parasitic seed at the female ninja.

The seeds quickly took root and sprouted, acting as ropes to tie up the female ninja.

The effect of absorbing physical strength was not triggered.

This isn't surprising, as Pokémon moves work like that; whether they'll work depends on whether the Pokémon wants them to work or not.

"Well, after watching for so long, it's time for the trainer from the Crimson Gym to show up."

Lars said towards the ceiling.

Then a naughty bomb suddenly fell in the center of the field, exploded, and caused a lot of smoke and dust.

"Aya, your practice is not enough."

An old man dressed as a ninja took the opportunity to appear in the smoke.

After the smoke completely dissipated, the vines of the parasitic seeds that had been tied to the ground had been cut off.

"Brother." Aya bowed to the uncle who appeared.

Then he quietly stepped aside and glared at Lars.

"I've heard about your situation. I'll secretly send you to Honglian Town."

Lars: “?”

What?! You said you heard something?!

Are you talking human language?

"But as future colleagues, gym battles are inevitable. I must confirm whether you have the strength!"

So what are you talking about? Is this human language?

Who will be your future colleague?

Who wants to become an international overtime worker who has to move wherever the need arises?

Russ was in a state of panic. What kind of internal propaganda had the league been doing for him behind his back?

Do you want him to be Aoki?

Although he does have a skill machine that can hold on.

"call..."

Take a deep breath.

Now that things have come to this, let’s fight the gym battle first.

"You have a phone here. I want to change my Pokémon."

—I’m going to use the Jellyfish to bring a smile to your face!!

Kanto Region: Chapter 85: One-on-one with the future king Aju

In the end, Lars failed to get the Jigglypuff Egg to bring smile to Aju.

Because there wasn't even a telephone in this abstract light red gym, all external communication depended on the alliance courier coming to them, or the two of them taking the initiative to go into the city.

"Are you some kind of savages?"

No wonder Dr. Oak said Aju was the first to be verified.

Feelings are the easiest to investigate, right?

Sighed.

In this case, the strongest one is Charizard, and the rest are training independently with Zapdos at the Oak Research Institute.

"The rules are one-on-one, until one party loses the ability to fight."

Leading the way to the open space, Aju explained the rules of the battle.

Las frowned when he heard it. One on one? Remember that the Crimson Gym Battle in the original series was three on three?

Then he saw Aju take something out of her clothes and suddenly threw it at his face.

Lars took it subconsciously. It was a small, flat object, some kind of handicraft.

When I opened it, I saw it was a pink badge.

Lars raised his brow.

"This isn't a gym battle," Aju explained.

Then he took out a Poké Ball and threw it, and a purple bat Pokémon with two pairs of wings appeared.

Cross-shaped bat.

It’s not the trainer of the Crimson Gym, but the future Poison King who comes to challenge!

Lars took a deep breath and composed himself.

Take out Charizard's Poké Ball.

"Come on, Charizard! Let's give the future king a good beating!"

"Roar--!!"

With fire in its mouth and claws bared, Charizard's appearance is always imposing.

As soon as he came out and saw Aju's cross-bat, his clear eyes immediately became sharp and serious.

It felt the aura of a strong man from the cross-bat in front of it!

"Roar!!!"

But its Charizard attacks the strong!

"Game start!"

Seeing that both sides were ready, the female ninja Aya raised her arms and announced the start of the battle.

Charizard immediately spit out flames from its mouth, and at the same time, Xbat flapped its wings and swung out air blades.

The wind blades and flames intertwined, the high temperature melted the air blades, and the wind blades dispersed the flames.

It seems that they are evenly matched.

Whether it's Charizard or Xbat, they react very quickly and immediately use their skills to steal damage at the beginning of the game.

Strength is something that both parties can feel!

"Charizard! Blow hot air!"

"Crossbat, use the tailwind to neutralize it!"

The high-temperature airflow collided head-on with the incoming wind, offsetting and neutralizing it, and Huawei's slightly hot gale was fed back to Charizard.

Oops, the Crossbat is in a tailwind situation!

"Crossbat! Use the Cross Poison Blade!"

The maneuverability suppression brought by the tailwind advantage appeared very quickly.

The Crossbat flapped its wings and disappeared from sight in an instant. Before it reappeared, its pair of wings flashed with purple light and slashed at Charizard vertically and horizontally!

Just this one strike! Inflicted heavy damage to Charizard!

He staggered in the air and almost fell from the sky.

"Roar——!"

Charizard quickly adjusted its body shape, with flames attached to its teeth, trying to bite back, but it missed.

The Crossbat that stopped in front of it was just an afterimage. It had already avoided Flame Fang's counterattack. Its speed was so fast that Charizard couldn't catch Crossbat's shadow at all.

"Charizard, use Dragon Tail!"

Charizard can't find it, but Lars can.

The moment he saw Xbat stop behind Charizard, Lars immediately gave a hint.

Charizard didn't hesitate and immediately swung its tail to lash out hard, but it still missed, and the Xbat that was hit by its tail still remained as an afterimage.

With his speed, he not only toyed with Charizard, but also Lass.

"Flame vortex! Surround yourself!"

Finding that his eyes were futile in catching up with the crossbat, Lars decisively changed his strategy.

Let the Charizard spit out flames from its mouth and rotate its body, wrapping itself in circles of flame vortexes.

The flames spiraling from top to bottom form a barrier that serves as both defense and offense.

Successfully forced out the Crossbat that was playing with Charizard, making it appear in the headwind when retreating!

——Now!

There is no need for commands at this time, Charizard knows what to do!

Jet flames!

The scorching flames spewed out and spread in a fan shape!

The scorching heat even covered up the sun's rays for a short while, leaving the world with only the orange-red flame color!

"Air Blade!"

Fan-shaped spread attacks are a good choice for dealing with high-speed enemies, but they will also cause firepower to be dispersed.

Aju was confident that his crossbat could split the jet of flame.

And this is indeed the case. The air blades that were fanned out by the flapping of the wings of the Crossbat did succeed in splitting the fan-shaped jets of flames from Charizard!

but--

"Roar!!!"

Charizard suddenly increased its firepower, and the air blade was quickly melted by the flames, sweeping towards the Bat!

"I'm not afraid of you fighting! I'm just afraid of you running away!"

Lars punches hard!

"Charizard! Flame Whirlpool!"

The flames were swung by Charizard, and the fan-shaped flames were immediately twisted into hemp ropes, forming circles into a cone shape, surrounding the Crossbat!

Not a direct attack, but a restriction of movement.

When facing an extremely fast enemy, you cannot use high-powered skills just to deal a little damage.

"Let the wind blow it away!"

But the crossbat will not sit idly by.

Two pairs of wings flapped wildly, stirring up a strong wind that disrupted the fire vortex of the Charizard.

Try to blow the flames away!

"Push it back with the hot wind!" Lars ordered quickly.

The Charizard immediately stopped the vortex of flames and flapped its wings to release a wave of hot air that collided with the strong wind.

Unexpectedly, this heat wave was so powerful that it was suppressed by the strong wind created by the two pairs of small wings of the cross-headed bat!

Yes - tailwind!

Completely different from the game performance, the Tailwind skill does not just allow the Crossbat to enter a Tailwind state where its speed is doubled.

Tailwind, as the name suggests, is a gust of wind blowing in the right direction, which adds power to the moves when Crossbat uses wind-related moves in the right position!

It even weakens the power of Charizard's hot air blowout!

With the increase and decrease of strength, Charizard was unable to suppress the wind raised by the Xbat!

This can't go on like this!

Las' eyes quickly scanned everything on the field, but there was nothing here except grass. It was a battle plain specially built away from residential areas. The only different terrain was the cliff not far to the right of the field.
