I, Xiao Mao, want to become a Pokémon Master!

Page 382

Seeing that Shigeru didn't intend to attack, Shinji didn't rush to attack either, and directly commanded, "Dragon Dance."

"Roar!"

Gyarados twists its body and performs a mysterious and powerful dance, boosting its Attack and Speed.

Mavila successfully summoned a snow scene, with dark clouds gathering in the sky and icy snowflakes falling.

"Attack, Mizutani Tail!" Shinji shouted immediately after the enhancement was complete.

Gyarados leaped towards Weavile, its tail enveloped in a curtain of water, and swept towards Weavile.

"Strike at vital points with a sneak attack," Xiao Mao ordered.

"accustomed to!!"

Weavile was not afraid of Gyarados at all. Its claws were covered with a layer of Dark-type energy. It punched Gyarados's tail, and its sharp claws tore the water covering the tail apart, knocking Gyarados's tail back.

"Approach Gyarados and use Blast Punch," Gary commanded.

Mavira dashed away at top speed.

"Frozen Fang!"

Shinji did not back down at all, choosing to confront them head-on.

Gyarados gathered ice energy in its mouth, forming two ice fangs, and lunged at Weavile.

Weavile unleashed a punch, shattering Ice Fang, but it only broke Ice Fang. Gyarados's massive head continued to charge, sending Weavile flying.

"Don't let the Weavile get away, tie it up!" Shinji shouted as they chased after them.

Gyarados soared into the air, quickly catching up with Weavile, coiling its body around it, and was about to strangle it.

"Hold on," the kitten suddenly commanded.

Weavile immediately used Protect to block Gyarados's attack outside the Protect Barrier. When the Protect Barrier broke, Weavile landed on the ground and successfully escaped the situation.

Shinji also secretly regretted that he was so close to capturing Weavile, but unexpectedly Weavile managed to hold on.

"Mavila, use Sword Dance, then attack with Ice Shards," Gary commanded.

As expected, without some upgrades, even if Weavile is a higher level, it will be difficult for it to compete with Gyarados.

After all, Gyarados is too big, and weight is also a form of power. When using ramming moves, its weight is a great advantage, such as Body Slam.

"accustomed to!"

Mavira started a war dance.

"Water cannon!" Shinji wouldn't sit idly by either, seizing any opportunity to attack.

puff! !

Gyarados spewed out a water cannon, but Weavile ignored it and continued to spin 300 degrees while performing a swords dance, trying to use the power of the spin to deflect the water cannon.

bump! !

Mavila was clearly overthinking things. Water is a real substance, and the rotation of the sword dance alone cannot negate it. She was directly commanded by the water cannon.

However, the impact is minimal, as Gyarados has a very low Special Attack, so it doesn't deal much damage to Weavile.

"accustomed to!"

Weavile immediately retaliated, blowing out a gust of cold wind that formed ice shards that rushed towards Gyarados from different directions.

"Use the tail of the water stream to break the ice shards," Shinji commanded.

Gyarados swung its tail, which was covered in a layer of water energy, and swiftly swept across, shattering all the incoming ice shards.

However, just as the ice shards shattered, Weavile charged straight at Gyarados, instantly closing the distance to only a few meters.

At this distance, there was no time to retaliate. Shinji immediately ordered, "Fly up and dodge!"

Gyarados soared into the air, but Weavile followed closely, leaping into the middle of Gyarados's body.

"Explosive Fist".

"accustomed to!"

Weavile unleashed a punch, the explosive fist landing on Gyarados's abdomen.

"Roar!!"

The intense pain caused Gyarados to hunch over, its eyes gradually becoming vacant, and it descended into a state of confusion.

"Gyarados, use Hurricane!" Shinji knew Gyarados was confused, but he continued to issue commands.

561: Xiaomao VS Shinji

Shinji would rather make a mistake than sit idly by and do nothing.

"Roar!!"

Instead of using Hurricane, Gyarados swung its tail wildly, smashing and slamming it against the ground. Although it didn't attack Weavile, this action still managed to hinder Weavile's attack.

"Use Ice Shards after Sword Dance," Xiao Mao commanded.

"accustomed to!"

Weavile once again performed a fierce battle dance, greatly increasing its physical attack. Then, it blew out a cold wind, and ice shards the size of yoga balls suddenly condensed and rushed towards Gyarados.

Seeing such massive ice shards, Shinji couldn't help but break out in a sweat, feeling a pang of anxiety for Gyarados.

Bang! Bang! Bang...!

Gyarados swung its Water Tail wildly, managing to shatter a piece of ice, but it couldn't defend against the subsequent ice fragments, which hit it one after another, knocking it to the ground.

"Let's take down Gyarados and test our skills in the street," Gary said, pressing his advantage.

"accustomed to!!"

Weavile charged forward quickly, its claws covered in evil energy, transforming into a slender blade nearly a meter long. Gyarados, caught in the chaos, had no way to fight back.

Just as Gyarados got up, Weavile arrived, its sharp energy blade slicing across Gyarados's body.

boom! !

Gyarados, which had just gotten up, fell to the ground again. This time, it never got up again.

"Gyarados is unable to battle, Weavile wins," Reis announced.

Xiao Mao won the game relatively easily.

However, Shigeru clearly took this match very seriously. The reason Shinji lost was because Gyarados's move pool was too narrow and it couldn't counter Weavile's moves.

Gyarados can actually master Stone Edge. If it could, Gyarados wouldn't have lost so quickly and might even have had a chance to win.

Shinji took out a Poké Ball, preparing to recall it.

However, just as Shinji was recalling Gyarados, Gary also took out a Poké Ball and recalled Weavile.

"Mavira, come back and rest."

Shinji frowned and asked in confusion, "Why did you take Mavila back? Mavila used Sword Dance twice to boost its attack. If you take it back now, the boost will disappear."

"This is just a friendly spar. I also want to see the strength of my other Pokémon. There's no need to fight to the bitter end with Weavile," said Gary.

"This is a competition, don't you care about winning or losing?" Shinji asked.

"There's no need to take winning and losing too seriously. As long as you win the crucial matches, that's enough. We're just having a private sparring session. You're taking it too seriously," Xiao Mao said.

Hearing what Shigeru said, Shinji had nothing to say, because he also often used sparring to test Pokémon. It was only because he wanted to beat Shigeru so much that he was so obsessed with winning.

"Then let's continue, go for it, Nidoking." Shinji threw out a Poké Ball.

Baton!

Nidoking, with a row of poisonous spikes on his back, makes his appearance.

【LV50 Nidoking♂/Near-Elite One】

Shigeru was surprised that Shinji's Nidoking was of such a high level; it seems that Shinji must have caught it during his travels in the Kanto region.

"Garuda, it's your turn." Gary threw out a Poké Ball.

Baton!

【LV51 Garchomp♂/Champion】

"Nidoking, use Ice Fist!" Shinji immediately launched an attack.

Nidoran charged at Garchomp, but not very fast.

Xiao Mao calmly commanded, "Use an earthquake."

"Crack!"

Garchomp slammed its claws into the ground, causing seismic waves.

Although Nidoking looked heavy, its reaction speed was not slow. In addition, as a Ground-type evolution, it had a more acute sense of the power of the earth. Before the earthquake waves spread, it jumped directly and pounced on Garchomp, its broad palms covered with a layer of ice energy.

However, just as Nidoking was about to approach Garchomp... Gary suddenly commanded, "Take off!"

Garchomp leaped into the air, causing Nidoking to miss its target.

"Dragon Pulse," Shigeru commanded.

Garchomp unleashed a dragon-shaped energy wave downwards.

boom! !

Nidoking had no way to avoid it and was hit by Dragon Pulse.

However, Nidoking is of a high level and should be able to withstand the dragon's power without much trouble.

"Use highly poison," Shinji ordered.

"Roar!"

Nidoran spewed out a large amount of poisonous powder that floated into the sky.

"Big Flame Burst!" Xiao Mao immediately retorted.

Garchomp unleashed a massive fireball, the intense flames instantly burning away the poison powder and landing on Nidoking.

Boom! !
