I caught a Pokémon

"This kind of thing isn't for Xia You to handle. Let me be your opponent first!!"

When Anthony saw that his opponent was just a teenage girl, he nonchalantly led his Pelipper back to the trainer command area.

He shrugged and laughed, "Since you asked for it, don't blame me for being impolite. If you get beaten to tears by my Pelipper later, don't blame me!"

Chapter 601 The Amazing Peacock

Xiaoxia and Anthony stood on opposite sides. Anthony, needless to say, naturally used his Pelipper to fight, while Xiaoxia, after thinking for a moment, sent out her Starfish.

This Starmie is arguably Misty's strongest Pokémon, aside from Psyduck, which requires a headache to unleash its true power, and Gyarados, which she later caught. It has accompanied her on her journey so far, always by her side, and is one of her most trusted partners.

The two Pokémon stared at each other, but compared to Starmie's caution, Pelipper's gaze was much more confident.

Xiaoxia was skeptical and scrutinized the Great Peacock for a long time. Even now, she still couldn't sense any aura of a powerful being emanating from it.

Xiaoxia glanced at Anthony and saw that he also looked very confident. She made up her mind, didn't think too much about it, and directly ordered the attack.

"Jewel Starfish, use High Speed ​​Star!"

The huge gem in the center of the starfish's body flashed with a bright light, and then countless shimmering little stars shot out from one of its sharp points, all heading towards the bighead gull.

Considering that both Pokémon are Water-type, Misty did not use Water-type moves to attack, but instead planned to use Starmie's Normal and Psychic-type moves to decide the winner against Pelipper.

The beak flaps its wings and soars into the air, easily dodging the high-speed star's attack with a single leap.

Xiaoxia wasn't surprised by this, but she secretly took precautions against the giant gull's counterattack.

To her surprise, when Pelipper flew over Starmie's head, it didn't receive a Flying, Normal, or Water-type move, but instead an electric shock!

The golden lightning bolt first suddenly lit up from the giant beak of the big-billed gull, then flashed out from the gap in its beak, striking the gem starfish at an extremely fast speed!

"What!?"

Xiaoxia was terrified.

As a Water-type Trainer, and having specifically consulted the Pokédex before arriving in the Hoenn region, she also took a close look at the Water-type Pokémon there, naturally having a deep impression of Pelipper.

But she clearly remembered that Pelipper was a Water/Flying type Pokémon, so how could it suddenly have such an Electric-type attack!?

This is simply illogical!

During the battle, the gem starfish dodged to the side, but the electric current was extremely fast and struck it in an instant.

The electric shock directly triggered the restraint effect, making the gem starfish glow. Even though Xiaoxia couldn't see its facial features, she could still feel its pain!

"Gem Starfish!!"

Xiaoxia cried out, but that wasn't the end of it. The Big-Beaked Gull opened its beak slightly again, and another bolt of electricity shot out, knocking down the Starfish!

This isn't some Water-type Pelipper, it's clearly an Electric-type Pokémon!

Seeing the starfish fall down, Xiaoxia ran over with a pained expression and hugged it tightly.

She turned to look at Anthony, utterly puzzled, and asked, "Why does your Pelipper use Electric-type moves?"

Anthony raised his head, beaming with pride, and said, "What's so special about that? Didn't I just say that my Pelipper is the strongest Pokémon in the world? How about that? Now you see how powerful it is!"

Xiaoxia was naturally unconvinced after being defeated by such an illogical attack.

She retrieved Starmie and took out a new Poké Ball, but before she could release the second Pokémon, a flash of blue light appeared at her waist, and her Psyduck ran out on its own initiative!

After Psyduck appeared, it strolled around the arena, looking here and there, seemingly oblivious to the tense atmosphere and its trainer's fiery eyes!

"You little rascal!" Xiaoxia was immediately furious. "Why do you always have to cause trouble at crucial moments?!"

Seeing this, Anthony shook his head and chuckled, even making sarcastic remarks: "Really? You can't even keep an eye on your own Pokémon? Can you really be considered a qualified trainer?"

Xiaoxia was even angrier now, but since Anthony had said that, she couldn't change her Pokémon anymore. So she simply shouted, "Fine, since you're already here, then you can go! Go, Psyduck!! Let him see how powerful you are!!!"

Psyduck tilted its head, glanced at Misty, then looked back at the Pelipper on the other side, before belatedly realizing that Misty was actually battling someone else!

But it wasn't scared at all. Instead, it kept squawking and excitedly rushed towards the bighead gull!

"That's it!" Misty exclaimed excitedly when she saw Psyduck showing a rare willingness to fight. "Show it your power! Use Psychic Hammer!!"

Psyduck charged toward the Peacock with a look that was both cute and ferocious, making strange noises all the way and looking quite menacing.

However, just halfway through the run, two vines suddenly emerged from the beak of the giant gull, stretched out in front of the Psyduck, tightly bound it, lifted it into the air, and then slammed it down!

Xia was truly shocked!

A Pelipper can extend vines from its beak—is this a new species? Or are all Pokémon in the Hoenn region this fierce?

Just as Xiaoxia was at a loss, Xia You stood behind her and, after observing her for half a day, had already figured out some of the tricks of the trade.

The Pelipper's unconventional move naturally has some unknown reasons behind it.

All the secrets are hidden in its huge mouth that can swallow other small Pokémon whole!

Unlike typical toucans, Anthony's toucan only slightly opens its beak during battles, regardless of the situation or the opponent. It never opens its beak wide, seemingly trying its best to avoid that situation!

It would be almost impossible if there weren't any secrets inside!

Moreover, when Xia You saw this, she vaguely remembered that Ash seemed to have experienced a similar plot when watching the anime. This person named Anthony had a wild idea and actually hid several Pokémon of different types in the beak of Pelipper. When battling against an opponent, he would command Pelipper to release specific Pokémon, thereby winning the battle by taking advantage of type advantage!

To come up with such a method, it's clear that Anthony has truly taken crooked thinking to the extreme!

Unsuspecting trainers could easily suffer a great loss in this situation, which is why Anthony dares to call his Pelipper the world's strongest Pokémon!

Psyduck was defeated, without even having time to unleash its powerful psychic abilities.

Seeing that Xiaoxia was still unconvinced and wanted to take out a third Poké Ball, Xia You walked to her side and stopped her.

"Forget it, you're no match for him. Let me take the stage next!"

(The official chapter count has reached 600, another milestone! Yay!)

Chapter 602 Xia You: Then I'll play along with you

Xiaoxia recalled Psyduck and gave Xiayou her spot in the Trainer Command Area.

Meanwhile, Anthony didn't care at all when he saw that the opponent had been changed. For him, no matter who the opponent was, he believed that his Pelipper could not possibly lose!

"What a remarkable fighting style." Xia You clapped his hands and laughed. "However, your fighting method is too shameless and lacks any martial ethics. It will be exposed sooner or later. When that time comes, won't you feel ashamed when facing the trainers you defeated?"

These words were like a sharp awl, piercing directly into Anthony's heart, causing his face to change drastically and his heart to pound wildly!

how is this possible! !

Has this person discovered the Pelipper's secret?!

But that's impossible. The big beak of the big beak is so big that it doesn't even have a large gap, let alone be fully open. Even by observing it, you can't find anything!

But the man's words clearly told her that he did know something!

"What nonsense are you talking about!?" He forced himself to remain calm, trying to keep his tone steady, and said with dissatisfaction, "I don't have any combat methods. This is all the result of Pelipper's hard training!"

"Really? Fine, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Whatever you say goes."

Xia You shook his head, not taking Anthony's excuse to heart. In fact, after learning that this so-called strongest Pokémon in the world was just a 'synthetic', he had already lost interest. But since he was here, he should at least have a match to truly experience the power of this synthetic, so as not to waste so much time.

Besides, Anthony defeated two of Misty's Pokémon in a row, so he had to help her get revenge.

Xia, who was standing to the side, naturally sensed the hidden meaning in Xia You's words and asked in surprise, "Brother Xia You, are you saying there's something wrong with his Big-Beaked Gull?"

Xia You gently pressed her hand down, signaling her to calm down. She didn't explain anything further, but just smiled and said, "You'll see when I show him his true colors."

Seeing Xia You's confident demeanor, Anthony was filled with doubt and even began to have second thoughts.

However, seeing Xia You's ambiguous smile again, he gritted his teeth and stood there stubbornly.

Even if we know something, so what?

Since implementing his brilliant plan, he has defeated at least a hundred trainers, but who has ever beaten him?

Even if I can't win, then my Pelipper is the strongest in the world!

And just like in countless previous battles, Pelipper will still defeat this pretentious guy and teach him a lesson with those same methods!

Xia You was unaware that Anthony was already torn between his own mind and his own, and that he was determined to teach him a lesson.

However, out of caution, he didn't use his newly caught Pokémon like Torchic, but instead took out a Poké Ball and sent out his Dragonite.

The moment the Clippers entered the game, Anthony couldn't help but frown slightly.

Having built this private gym here for so long and battled with trainers of all levels, he has figured out some patterns.

Some young children, just from their innocent faces and restless movements, are clearly novices among novices, trainers who have only recently started their journey. And the Pokémon in the hands of such novice trainers are naturally mostly weak creatures that have not yet evolved.

Fighting them is easy; you don't even need to use those methods to win. There's no need to worry too much about it.

But compared to these people, those trainers who look like they've been exposed to the elements and have been eating and drinking dew for a long time are undoubtedly more difficult to deal with.

These people are more experienced and have a wider variety of Pokémon. Among them are many hidden talents. Not only must you fight with all your might, but you must also use type advantages to win with difficulty.

This is not the most troublesome thing. What really makes him feel troubled is the very few trainers who are in a very similar state to the man in front of him!

What are their characteristics?

No matter what situation they face, they always have a nonchalant expression on their face. They have some battle-hardened Pokémon that have been honed to their final form. These people have fought too many battles, so even if their type is weak, it is no longer so obvious to them.

The man in front of us and his Dragonite are undoubtedly of this type.

Furthermore, when he revealed his secret, Anthony's eyelids twitched, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.

But now that things have come to this, even if he doesn't want to fight, it's basically impossible. If he makes an excuse to back down now and it gets out, his reputation and brand, which he has built up over the years, will be ruined and he will become a laughing stock!

He was hesitant to fight, but he was also very unsure of himself...

Sigh, now I can only hope that my Pelipper performs normally and defeats this guy...

While Anthony was lost in thought, the two Pokémon had already taken their positions.

Since there was no referee and no special rules, there was no need for anyone to say "start." Seeing that Pelipper was ready, Xia You blew a whistle, and Dragonite flew close to the ground, rushing towards Pelipper!

This brought Anthony back to his senses, and he quickly focused his attention on the battlefield.

"Spider, use your wings to attack!!"

Although he had never battled Dragonite before, he knew that it was a Dragon-type and Flying-type Pokémon, and that Pelipper's Electric Shock, Vine Whip, or other Water and Fire-type moves were not effective against Dragon-type Pokémon.

Fortunately, Pelipper is also a Flying-type Pokémon, and the Flying type does not negate the effect in battle, so Pelipper is not helpless.

Xia You could tell what Anthony was thinking just by the gull raising its wing.

However, he did not change his command, but continued to have Dragonite approach Pelipper.

The two Pokémon briefly met in the low sky, but after a brief contact, they separated again.

However, this brief encounter also set off alarm bells in Anthony's mind!

The reason is simple: both Pokémon used wing attacks, but Dragonite dodged the attack by simply turning its body slightly at the moment of their clash. Unlike the unharmed Dragonite, Pelipper was hit by Dragonite's small wing, swayed a few times, and almost fell to the ground!

Having seen a lot, Anthony knew from this first exchange that the Dragonite's strength and skill level were definitely above his own Pelipper!

Chapter 603 He's just a bad person.

After its successful attack, Dragonite continued its momentum and turned back towards Pelipper. However, this time, Anthony dared not engage Dragonite head-on and launched an attack from a distance instead of making any rash contact.

His concession revealed his bluster to Xia You, which only emboldened Dragonite to take advantage of the situation.

Pelipper slightly opened its beak, and a bolt of lightning shot towards Dragonite. Dragonite simply turned slightly to the side, easily dodging the attack with its extremely high flight speed. Then, it flew close to Pelipper and crashed headfirst into Pelipper's belly!

Instantly, the gull's belly sank inward. Impacted by the enormous force, it couldn't help but open its beak, almost revealing its secret. Fortunately, it reacted in time, quickly closing its beak and fleeing to a more distant place.

Xia You drew a circle with her finger. The Dragonite in the sky glanced at it and immediately understood, chasing after the Pelipper again.

High above the battlefield, Pelipper was fleeing to the other side when it turned around and saw Dragonite approaching again. Its beak twitched slightly, and the next second, a dazzling flame shot out from its mouth. It had used the Fire-type move Flamethrower again!

Including the Grass-type Vine Whip and Electric-type Thunderbolt used earlier, the Flamethrower at this moment, plus Pelipper's own Water-type and Flying-type abilities, it has displayed a total of five different types of attack methods, which can truly be described as diverse.

If you don't know its background or the situation, you might really be fooled by it!

Faced with this flame, Dragonite remained calm and used Hurricane to deflect the flames back at Pelipper.

The gull was startled, after all, this was not a move it actually used on its own. If it were hit by the flames, it would also be burned!

Fortunately, the wind generated by the storm was terrifying. Although it blew the flames towards itself, the Peacock took off with the help of this headwind and instantly left the range of the flames.

However, just as it regained its footing, Dragonite silently approached. It raised its long tail, which was enveloped in water, used Water Tail, twisted its body, and lashed out, hitting Pelipper directly in the face!

A loud 'crack'!
