Pokémon, Inkaros, my starter Pokémon

The instant the two Pokémon appeared, Professor Oak's eyes lit up like searchlights. He almost instantly moved closer, scanning Hilda and Eevee up and down, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:

"Oh my, this shape...this structure! It's incredible!"

"This mantis... has four legs on the ground, and the material and luster of its arm blades... are biological structures I've never seen before."

"And this blue one... Look at its streamlined body and tail fin, it has typical aquatic or amphibian characteristics, but the details are quite different."

"This is amazing! This is absolutely a brand new discovery! Gym Leader, where did you encounter them? This is extremely important!"

Faced with Professor Oak's barrage of questions and his burning research gaze, Tokito remained calm and responded with the words he had prepared beforehand: "I encountered it by chance during a rather unexpected journey. The specific location can be understood as coming from the sky. It's not easy to explain in detail, so please forgive me, Professor."

"Above the sky... are those extraterrestrial life forms?"

Professor Oak thought to himself, his research enthusiasm high, but he also knew how to respect others' privacy. Although somewhat disappointed, he didn't delve further into their origins, and his attention quickly returned to the two Pokémon themselves, praising them repeatedly:

"Incredible, truly incredible. Although I don't know their exact origins, based on my experience, these two Pokémon have extraordinary potential. The energy they contain and their unique physical structure indicate that they will definitely grow into very powerful Pokémon in the future!"

Hearing Professor Oak's evaluation, Tokito chuckled inwardly.

Professor Oak's judgment is indeed sharp.

Iyu is capable of becoming the Water-type Spirit King [Starlight Russ King], and Hilda can even evolve into the Light-type Punisher Incaros. Both of them are at the level of legendary beasts!

Professor Oak grew increasingly eager to see them, rubbing his hands together and looking at Tokidou with anticipation, asking, "Gym Leader Tokidou, observation alone isn't enough. I wonder... could you arrange a battle so I can see their performance in actual combat?"

Shi Dou readily agreed, "Of course, I welcome any official challenger."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Mao, who had been unable to contain himself any longer, immediately stepped forward and said confidently, "Grandpa, let me do it. I'm sure I can beat him this time!"

Xiao Mao had clearly done a lot of preparation and mental preparation for yesterday's crushing defeat.

However, another clear voice rang out at the same time, "Wait a minute, I was here first, I was the one who challenged the Tokito Gym Leader first, so I should have gone first!"

Then, Yuuto Seidai mustered up her courage and stepped forward. Although she was a little nervous in front of the famous Professor Oak, her eyes were very firm.

Xiao Mao was taken aback for a moment. When he saw that it was a cute and elegant young girl, he swallowed back the rebuttal that was on the tip of his tongue and showed a rare gentlemanly demeanor. He just shrugged and did not argue.

If Xiao Zhi, a typical straight man, were here, he would definitely be yelling, "Stop it so noisy! I was the one who said it first!"

Shi Tou smiled as he watched the two vying for the right to challenge, and smoothed things over by saying, "It's alright, both of you can challenge. How about we use a 1v1 singles rule? This way, we can satisfy the doctor's observation needs and also give both of you a chance to fight."

"Haha, great, 1 vs 1 is perfect. It'll allow us to focus more intently on observing the performance of a single Pokémon! It's settled then!" Professor Oak clapped his hands and laughed.

"Then, Sundae, you can start first." Tokito looked at Sundae and smiled.

Sundae nodded happily and said, "No problem, my Marowak was fully recovered at the Pokémon Center last night."

Sundae has great confidence in her partner.

Bulbasaur walked to the edge of the arena, raised its hand, and clearly announced: "The challenge of the Goldenrod City Fighting Gym will now begin. The rules are 1-on-1 single battles. The battle ends when one side's Pokémon is unable to battle! Now, please send out your Pokémon!"

"Gararar, prepare for battle!"

Sundae threw the Poké Ball first, a flash of white light. Marowak, wearing a bone helmet and wielding a bone club, reappeared, its eyes fierce.

"Iyu, this battle is yours."

Tokito then sent out Iyu.

The blue-clad Iyo leaped into the arena, facing the menacing Galagala, and barked defiantly.

Sundae's current strength is probably not even as good as Gary's, so sending out Hilda would be too much of a rip-off. This battle is a good opportunity for Eevee to gain experience; it's just one step away from evolving.

Gary and Professor Oak sat in the audience seats on the side, with Professor Oak even taking out his notebook to take detailed notes.

"Battle begins," BuMiao announced.

“The challenger goes first,” Tokito gestured.

Facing Shidou, Shengdai dared not be careless or polite, and immediately ordered, "Garagara, charge over and use headbutt."

With a low growl, white light emanated from its head, and it charged towards Yiyou.

"Iyu, use a blitzkrieg to dodge and counterattack!"

In an instant, Yiyou's figure transformed into a swift blue streak, moving sideways at an even faster speed. Not only did she easily dodge Gala Gala's headbutt, but she also struck Gala Gala's side ribs in the instant they passed each other.

boom!

The effect was so-so, but it hit the target!

Professor Oak's eyes lit up in the audience. He quickly jotted down notes and exclaimed, "Excellent speed! Clean and crisp movements. This Pokémon named Eevee is incredibly agile!"

Xiao Mao nodded, acknowledging that Yi You's speed was indeed impressive, but he still felt that it was far inferior to the ghostly speed of the green mantis from yesterday.

Seeing that her attack missed, Sundae quickly encouraged her, "Gara gara, it's okay, just use your best bone club to hit around!"

Crackle steadied herself, wielding her bone club, which instantly transformed into a dazzling display of club shadows, accompanied by a whistling wind, enveloping Iyou.

Iyou nimbly dodged and weaved through the dense barrage of club shadows, but the range of the club's wild strikes was so wide that she was still grazed by several of them and suffered some injuries.

The continuous dodges and previous attacks had exhausted a lot of its stamina, but the fighting spirit in its eyes grew even stronger!

Just as it narrowly avoided yet another fierce bone club strike, its accumulated combat experience and energy finally reached a critical point—

Om-! ! !

A more dazzling and magnificent aquamarine light than when Evolved Dar suddenly erupted from Iyu's body, instantly enveloping it completely. The light resembled a giant water cocoon, within which the energy surged violently, radiating a powerful aura!

"This is... evolution?!" Sundae covered her mouth in surprise.

Professor Oak suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with excitement, and exclaimed, "Oh! It evolved at the crucial moment! That's fantastic!"

Xiao Mao also stared wide-eyed at the ball of light.

A relieved smile appeared on Shidou's lips.

Is it finally... coming?

The light of evolution lasted for a few seconds, then slowly dissipated, and a brand new figure appeared in the center of the arena!

She is no longer the chubby Yiyou of before, but has become more slender and agile.

Its main body color is still blue, but its abdomen has turned white. The small fin on its head has turned into a blue carapace like a helmet. The small tail behind it has become larger and more powerful, with sharp fin-like edges. Its eyes have become sharper, and it exudes an aura several times stronger than before!

【Sprite: Julian】(Evolved form of Io)

[Attribute: Water]

[Level: 18 (Evolution Upgrade)]

[Characteristics: Riptide]

Newly learned skills: Water Jet (Priority +1 Water-type Physical Skill), Bubble Beam (Water-type Special Skill)

[Data: Evolved from Eevee, it possesses greater strength and speed, and its ability to manipulate water has also been further enhanced.]

Feeling the new power surging within him after his evolution, Julian let out a powerful growl and locked his gaze on the Marowak opposite him.

The battle has entered a new phase due to Julian's evolution, and everyone is looking forward to its debut after its evolution.

Seeing that Io had evolved into Julian, a form she had never seen before, Sundae was surprised, but her good manners as a top student allowed her to quickly calm down. She encouraged her partner and said seriously, "Garagara, don't panic. Even if you evolve, you're still no match for us. Keep hitting us with your bone clubs."

"Gala gala~"

With a low growl, it forcibly suppressed its fear of the evolutionary light and swung its bone club again, transforming it into a dense barrage of club shadows that enveloped Julian, who had just completed his evolution and seemed to still be adapting to his new body!

However, evolution brings not only changes in appearance, but also improvements in all aspects.

"Julian, show it your new power, use Water Jet."

Julian moved at the command, without even needing to prepare. A torrent of water surged around him, and in an instant, his figure transformed into a blue arrow, even faster than his previous flash attack, propelled by the water. With lightning speed, he struck first and pierced through the not-yet-fully-formed bone staff shadow.

boom! !

The violent impact, carrying the water, slammed solidly into Crackling's chest.

Outstanding effect!

Water-type is super effective against Ground-type Marowak!

"Gala!!"

With a loud, painful roar, he was knocked back by the powerful impact, almost dropping the bone club from his hand, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

"How could it be...so fast?!"

Sundae panicked a little; she hadn't expected Julian's speed and strength to increase so much after the evolution.

Shigeru was equally astonished, while Professor Oak watched all this with a smile.

Seeing that Marowak was in poor condition, Sundae gritted her teeth and decided to use her ultimate move, immediately commanding, "Marowak, hang in there, we're using the Bone Boomerang!"

Despite the pain, Gara Gara used all his strength to throw the bone club in his hand like a boomerang. The bone club spun and flew through the air with a shrill sound, tracing a deadly arc as it shot towards Julian!

This is Marowak's signature move, and it's incredibly powerful!

Professor Oak: "The Bone Boomerang, that's a powerful long-range attack!"

Shigeru: "The power of this move is comparable to some powerful Ground-type moves!"

Bone Boomerang has two attacks, each with a power of 50 points, for a total of 100 points. It has the same power as the Ground-type move Earthquake, but Bone Boomerang has two attacks, which makes it better than Earthquake because it can break through the Sturdy ability and Focus Sash.

Just like the "legendary" Cocoyado that Shidou used in the Pokémon Masters ranked battle, it was completely ineffective against the Bone Boomerang.

Facing this powerful flying attack, Shidou had anticipated it and calmly said, "Julian, no need to dodge, just take it."

Julian's eyes narrowed, and he actually didn't dodge or evade. Instead, he straightened his chest and slammed the spinning bone club, carrying tremendous kinetic energy, into its body!

boom!

A muffled sound!

A flicker of pain flashed across Julian's face, but he gritted his teeth, and his body once again emitted that strange white light, frantically converting the immense damage and pain he had suffered into energy, which he then stored within his body.

When Sundae saw Julian take the heavy blow head-on, a hint of joy just appeared on her face...

However, the next moment, Shi Dou quickly seized the opportunity: "Now, restrain yourself, counterattack."

As soon as he finished speaking, the energy that had been accumulating within Julian's body exploded at its peak. A white energy torrent, even more powerful and terrifying than during Iyo's time, burst forth like a dam breaking, accompanied by a deafening roar and an aura of destruction. It instantly devoured Kara Kara, who had just thrown out the bone club and was in a state where her old power was exhausted and her new power had not yet been generated!

boom! ! ! ! ! !

The light of the energy surge illuminated the entire dojo, and before Cala Cala could even let out a complete scream, he was completely overwhelmed by this terrifying energy, which was twice as powerful as the Bone Boomerang.

As the light faded, Gara Gara's eyes turned into vortexes, and he collapsed in the center of the arena, losing his ability to fight. His bone club fell limply to the ground not far away.

"Garagara is unable to fight, and the winner is the Tokito Gym Leader."

Bu Miao excitedly announced the results.

"Thank you for your hard work, Gara Gara."

Sundae stared blankly at the fallen Marowak, then looked at Julian in the arena, who was panting but still full of vigor, and finally sighed helplessly, recalling Marowak.

She didn't expect to be able to defeat the powerful Hilda, but she didn't expect that she couldn't even defeat the cute and adorable Ivy...

Professor Oak, sitting in the audience, stood up and exclaimed, "That was amazing! After evolving, it learned the priority move Hydro Pump and used that unique 'superior' move to return double the damage it took. The tactical execution was perfect!"

Shigeru was also deeply moved, and at the same time, he gained a clearer understanding of the power of Toki and his unknown Pokémon.

"Well then, it's your turn next, Shigeru."

Tokito turned his gaze to the spiky-haired boy in the audience, then gestured for Hilda to appear.

Shigeru stood up, looked at Hilda who was already prepared on the field, his face showing unprecedented seriousness and a confident smile, and said, "Mr. Tokito, I've been ready for a long time."

With that, Shigeru took Sundae's place as the challenger.

"Go, my sweetheart!"

Facing the powerful Toki, Shigeru didn't hesitate at all. He quickly threw out a Poké Ball, and a white light flashed as a majestic large bird Pokémon appeared in the air.

With a streamlined body covered in full brown feathers, a bright red crest on its head, pure white feathers on its chest, and magnificent, long tail feathers, it is the final evolution of Pidgeot, the native bird of the Kanto region!
