Chapter 626 Haruka on Route 102
Li Luochen looked at the smiling girl in the short skirt in front of him, then looked down at the row of Poké Balls at his waist, and was momentarily at a loss.
What kind of Pokémon does he have?
Dark Lugia, Groudon, Regigigas...
Pick one at random, and it could probably blow up the entire Route 102 with a single move.
The opponent in front of him looked to be at most a high school student. His Poké Ball was polished to a high shine, but his eager look made him seem like a rookie trainer who had just embarked on his journey.
Using legendary Pokémon to beat newbies is no longer a matter of overwhelming them; it's a humanitarian crisis.
However, on the other hand, Li Luochen is not entirely without any decent beginner Pokémon.
The Pokémon that Salamence brought back not long ago wasn't very high-level; it was barely acceptable for beginner battles.
He just hadn't fought a battle of this level in a long time. He was used to the earth-shattering clashes between legendary Pokémon, and suddenly having to go back to a rhythm of mutual sniping, he didn't know if he could adapt.
He turned his head, his gaze falling on Man Chong beside him, and suddenly had a better idea: "Why don't you give it a try? Fight her."
"Me? Me?"
Man Chong suddenly raised his head, his finger unconsciously pointing to the tip of his nose, as if he had been stunned by the news.
He had never fought against anyone before.
He just wanted to catch a Pokémon; he never thought about standing in front of a trainer and facing off against another person.
Moreover, he doesn't even have any Pokémon, so what is he going to fight with?
What if he loses? Won't the kind older brother next to him think he's useless?
Won't it embarrass others?
Countless thoughts raced through her mind like a revolving lantern, and her swollen fingers began to twist the hem of her clothes again.
"Don't overthink it."
Li Luochen waved his hand, interrupting the increasingly chaotic thoughts swirling in Manchong's mind.
He took a Poké Ball from his waist and casually handed it to Manch: "Didn't you want to catch Pokémon? Perfect, let's practice in this battle first."
"You've never even tried commanding a Pokémon before. Even if you encounter your favorite Pokémon later, you won't know how to win. You can borrow this Pokémon for now. Don't worry, it has a good temper and won't bully a newbie."
Manch stared blankly at the Poké Ball lying in Li Luochen's palm, its surface still warm from the touch of his hand.
He hesitated for two seconds, then, as if he had made a tremendous decision, he stretched out his hands and solemnly accepted the ball.
"Come out, baby dragon!"
Fully charged up, holding the Poké Ball in both hands, and sent it forward. The emerald green Beast landed steadily on the dirt road.
It shook its round head, revealing two small, sharp teeth peeking out from its lips, and curiously surveyed its surroundings, looking quite energetic.
"Huh?!"
The girl in the miniskirt stared wide-eyed, leaning forward slightly, her voice filled with undisguised amazement: "Why is this Pokémon's color different? It's green! It's a Shiny Pokémon!"
"Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen a Shiny Pokémon in person! It's amazing!"
She slapped her cheeks hard, re-assuming her fighting stance, her fighting spirit even stronger than before: "Alright, in that case, I won't lose! Go, Serpent Bear!"
A fluffy serpentine bear landed on the field, its big black eyes curiously observing the small, emerald-green dragon opposite it, its tail swaying gently.
The girl in the miniskirt withdrew her scrutinizing gaze, smiled sweetly at Mitsuru, and said in a clear voice, "My name is Chika, and I'm a resident trainer on this route. Nice to meet you!"
Manchong took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice from trembling: "I... my name is Manchong. Nice to meet you."
Before she could finish speaking, Chika had already decisively waved her hand: "Serpent Bear, charge!"
The serpentine bear pushed off the ground with all four limbs, its fluffy little body shooting straight at the baby dragon like a gray bullet fired from a gun.
Manchong's pupils contracted, and all the tactics he had rehearsed countless times went completely blank in that instant. Almost instinctively, he shouted the first command that came to mind: "Baby Dragon, get out of the way!"
Although the baby dragon had only recently hatched, it was, after all, a dragon bloodline that had been personally carried to Li Luochen by the Salamence, and its reaction speed was much faster than Manchong had expected.
Just before the grayish-brown figure was about to collide with it, it suddenly turned to the side, its short legs nimbly pushing off the ground, thus avoiding the snake bear's impact path.
The snake-striped bear crashed into nothingness, sliding a short distance on the dirt road before finally coming to a stop, shaking off the dirt from its head.
"Baby Dragon, use... Spark!"
Manchong's voice was still trembling slightly, but it was a few points louder than before.
Upon hearing the sound, the baby dragon opened its mouth, and a ball of orange-red fire surged from deep within its throat. The next second, a cluster of blazing flames shot out from between its teeth, trailing a bright tail flame as it headed straight for the serpent bear.
The serpentine bear had barely regained its footing and hadn't even had time to react when sparks flew towards it, hitting it squarely in the face and sending it tumbling several times across the grass.
Seeing this, the baby dragon spat out several more fireballs.
The sparks exploded on the snake-striped bear, leaving a last burst of embers. The furry little creature staggered a couple of steps, finally giving way and collapsing to the ground, its eyes spinning in dizzying circles.
"Huh?! A snake-patterned bear!"
Chika turned pale and immediately squatted down to check on the snake-patterned bear's condition.
Although she had long recognized that the exotic baby dragon was of exceptional quality, she truly hadn't expected it to defeat her snake bear in a single exchange...
"I never imagined this little dragon was so amazing!"
Chika retrieved the snake-patterned bear, patted the grass clippings off her skirt, and stood up.
Although she lost the match, she didn't seem too disappointed. Instead, she cheerfully held up one finger to the two of them, pointing towards the depths of Route 102:
"A bet's a bet! Go that way, there's a small pond surrounded by bushes. I saw a Ralts drinking water there yesterday. If you're interested, you can try your luck."
Manch was holding a Poké Ball for a Beast Dragon, and he looked as light as if he were walking on a cloud.
He looked down at the Poké Ball, then looked up at the grass that had been blasted to pieces by Beast Spark, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
He won! He actually won his first ever match!
This feeling of being enveloped in the warmth of victory was both unfamiliar and precious to him, like being suddenly given a cup of hot cocoa in winter, warming him from his fingertips all the way to his heart.
"Hey, isn't this the little brother from next door, Manchong? Weren't you looking for your dad to catch Pokémon? What are you doing here?"
Upon hearing this, Manchong looked over, her face filled with surprise: "Sister Xiaoyao!"
