Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

Bibi Bird is a sky elf with normal + flying attributes.

The giant claw crab is a single water system type.

From the perspective of attributes, there is no so-called restraint between the two parties.

But in the elf food chain of nature.

Giant claw crabs generally appear in Bibi Bird's diet.

certainly.

In most cases, the targets of Bibi Bird's attacks are weaker prey.

For example, Magikarp.

“Kachakacha”

After diving under the water to avoid the wind attack.

The giant crab, which returned to the floating board, raised its large claws in a demonstrative manner and challenged the Bibi bird.

Although the trainer behind him is not an acquaintance from the past.

But as a veteran who has participated in gym battles, it knows very well what kind of strength the little guys on the opposite side generally have.

Even if there are some problems with the cooperation with the new partner, the Giant Crab is very confident in defeating the opponent.

The confrontation in the first round just now was enough to prove it.

"Does it have special characteristics? His personality seems to be good.

Sure enough, old gyms like Hualan Gym are still good at it."

Zheye briefly observed the giant crab and nodded with satisfaction.

If it were his own partner, then this crab would have a lot of shortcomings to make up for.

However, for a "tool crab" specially used for gym battles, its abilities in all aspects are already sufficient.

Don't say anything else.

Just now, Zheya didn't give any instructions regarding Bibi Bird's wind attack.

The giant claw crab relied on its own judgment to avoid it.

Don't underestimate this simple action.

Not to mention that attacks are not that easy to dodge.

Many elves cultivated by trainers do not have the concept of "dodge" at all at the novice level and ordinary level.

After all, they are not like elves in the wild who have lived in a dangerous environment since childhood.

These things require a long period of teaching and learning.

"However, if you use the wind-rising skill at the beginning, your rating will be lowered."

Tetsuya raised his head, smiled and said to the challenger.

"Um?"

The challenger was stunned.

In the battle between aerial elves, isn't it the most prudent and reasonable way to adopt a long-range offensive?

Unless it's a bird like the Warrior Eagle, which is very good at close combat.

Otherwise, even if Bibi Bird's physical attack ability is slightly stronger than its energy attack ability, it is not cost-effective to fight in close combat at the great risk of being hit.

"Don't lose focus during the battle no matter what.

Giant claw crab, use water gun!"

However, Tetsuya had no intention of helping him answer his doubts, and even took advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack.

"Oops!"

The challenger was startled and said, "Bibi Bird, move up quickly and avoid it!"

A sharp and extremely fast water gun is shot from the giant claw crab's mouth.

Tetsuya's brows wrinkled subconsciously, and then quickly relaxed.

"Beep——"

The bird flapped its wings rapidly and raised its height.

The water gun of the giant claw crab passed under its body in a thrilling manner.

"The instructions need to be clearer."

Zhe also thought very calmly.

Since the elves were not cultivated by themselves, their tacit understanding during battle is quite poor.

If it were the Flame Chickens, they would have habitually blocked the route.

"I see!"

At this time.

Looking at the giant claw crab lowering its large claws, a flash of inspiration flashed in the challenger's mind: "Bibi bird, just swoop down from the high altitude and use the lightning flash attack!"

"Good reaction." Zheye praised, "Giant Claw Crab, harden up and resist, then clamp the opponent."

White light soon enveloped Bibi Bird's small body.

With the help of its skills, it approached the giant claw crab on the floating board below at a very fast speed.

The water surface of the battle site was rippled by the airflow caused by the high-speed impact of the Bibi bird.

Corresponding.

After the giant claw crab heard the command, the silver light on its body quickly lit up.

Its armor has become a lot harder to the naked eye.

Although it does not have the characteristics of hard-shell armor, as a mature elf, the giant claw crab has natural advantages in abilities.

"Zi~la——"

A harsh sound sounded.

The sharp claws of the Bibi bird scratched the giant claw crab's shell armor with a powerful impact, leaving three deep white marks on it.

At the same time, the giant claw crab stretched out its huge left claw to clamp the enemy's left wing.

"Beep~"

In pain, the bird let out a sharp cry.

"Hold on, Bibi Bird! Use the impact to break free!"

The trainer's voice sounded.

Bibi bird endured the severe pain and exerted force, rotating its body and driving its right wing to hit the giant crab hard.

Maybe it was too painful to be caught, or maybe he didn't expect Bibi Bird to fight back in this situation.

The giant crab that lost its balance subconsciously loosened its claws.

Bibi Bird took this opportunity and flew high again.

"Card~"

The giant claw crab knew that this was his mistake and subconsciously looked back at his new partner.

"It's okay. You did a great job. You will be better if you pay more attention next time. Keep up the good work."

Of course Tetsuya would not blame the other party.

If it were Raiji or Shinji in the anime, he would probably be given the word "trash".

"Bibi Bird, do it again, lightning flashes!"

The other side.

The challenger's command remains unchanged.

Bibiniao was a little hesitant.

The pain on its wings seemed to be warning it not to fight in close quarters.

"Don't worry Bibi, you can do it! Use your flying skills to conquer your enemies!"

The challenger cheers for his elf.

"beep"

Hear the words.

Although he was still a little scared, in order to live up to his trainer's expectations, Bibi Bird's body was once again shrouded in white light.

"Then let's do it again.

Get hard, then grab the opposite side.”

"Card"

The giant claw crab's chest has claws that open and close like a bamboo.

It was a mistake just now, and I won't let go this time no matter what I say.

Same movement, same angle.

It even thought about how to slam the enemy hard onto the floating board, and then stomp on it.

The giant claw crab's large claws are raised high and flashing with sharp light.

"That's it now!" The challenger's eyes flashed and he shouted loudly: "Bibi Bird, go around and hit back!"

"Beep——"

The sound of birdsong passed by in a flash.

The giant claw crab was surprised to find that his opponent did not attack him directly, but flew over from a place that he could not reach.

A few meters away.

The white light dissipated, revealing the clear figure of Bibi Bird.

The wings flapped continuously, stirring up strong winds.

Its entire body hit the giant crab under the reaction force.

"winter--"

The dull collision sound heralds the fate of the giant claw crab.

It was knocked into the water almost without the ability to resist.

Fortunately.

Whether it's the increased defense brought about by two hardenings, or the relief of impact caused by the water flow.

The damage to the giant claw crab was not great.

Even the current physical consumption of Bibi Bird is still higher than that of Giant Claw Crab.

But the challenger showed a happy smile: "Well done Bibi bird!"

"Beep——"

The bird in the sky also made a happy cry.

Minglan and Xiaoxia happily sat in the spectator seats and watched this scene.

"Xiaoxia, do you know why this happens?"

The old man asked his granddaughter.

"Well..."

Xiaoxia frowned.

Although the education I received since childhood is very perfect, it takes a certain amount of time and practice to turn the experience on paper into truly useful knowledge.

This is one of the reasons why Minglan asked Zheya to take Xiaoxia with him during this period.

"I think it should be caused by the giant claws of the giant crab."

After thinking about it, Xiaoxia's answer did not exceed Minglan's expectations.

If his little granddaughter didn't even have this ability, she wouldn't have been chosen by him as the successor to the next generation of Cerulean Gym Leader.

"The claws on one side of the giant claw crab are huge and very destructive, but the disadvantage is that it is too heavy, making it difficult to aim at the target.

If you lift a pair of pliers that are disproportionately large to your body with an astonishing amount of force, you will lose your balance and stagger.

In the situation just now, if Bibi Bird temporarily changed its attack method, the Giant Claw Crab would not be able to keep up with the action at all, let alone dodge or counterattack."

Xiaoxia's crisp voice echoed in the spectator seats.

Zheya naturally caught it and nodded in approval.

Yes.

Behind the powerful attack power brought by its large claws, the body movements of giant claw crabs are actually very inflexible compared to those of bibills.

Under normal circumstances, Bibi Bird's size would certainly not give him any advantage in close combat.

However, in view of the characteristics of the Giant Claw Crab, Bibi Bird, which is below level 30 and cannot master a few long-range attack moves, is more suitable for fighting at a closer distance.

Otherwise, just by relying on the wind, Gua Sha master Bibi Niao would have to be exhausted to defeat the Giant Claw Crab.

not to mention.

At this level, the giant claw crab has more long-range attack moves than the bird.

Really want to fight remotely.

If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't good at energy attacks, the Giant Claw Crab in this environment might be able to suppress the opponent.

"Bibi Bird, lightning flashed!"

The excited voices of young people continued to echo in the venue.

The giant claw crab waved its claws in vain, returning again and again without success.

There are more and more scars on its body, and its physical strength is getting less and less.

Another problem with the giant claw is that it requires a lot of strength to swing it. The giant claw crab consumes stamina much faster than other elves.

"Card"

Panting heavily, the giant crab already had the idea of ​​giving up in his heart.

Anyway, it's not uncommon for gym elves to lose. If you can't win, you can't win, and you won't lose a bite to eat.

With this thought, its reaction became a step slower visible to the naked eye.

The challenger only thought it was because of his physical strength and launched the attack with more passion.

Only Zheya and Minglan saw the reason and shook their heads helplessly.

Many elves have good personalities, but are not suitable for fighting because of this.

Maintaining the desire to win in the face of adversity is simple to say, but it cannot be taught.

"Bibi Bird, give it the final blow!"

The surging voices of the challengers kept echoing.

Bibi Bird's physical condition is actually not that good.

Repeated sudden stops and starts still cause a lot of consumption.

However, looking at the giant claw crab that was almost unable to move, Bibiniao cheered up, and his whole body lit up with white light for an unknown number of times.

As if numb.

The giant claw crab casually raised its claws to block the opponent's flight path, preparing to deliver the goods to your door.

Of course, this product is often itself.

As always, pass sideways and then push back and hit.

Bibiniao felt that powerful power erupted from his tired body again.

This may be the happiness brought by victory, it thought.

"Giant Claw Crab, don't restrain your body's inertia, use metal claws as the claws move."

Tetsuya, who had hardly made a sound to direct until later, finally spoke.

The giant claw crab actually doesn't want to hear it. After all, it thinks that this new partner's ability is not very good, otherwise it would not let it face the current situation.

But Tetsuya's voice seemed to have a kind of magic power, and he unconsciously made him do it.

"boom--"

"Beep——"

The huge roars and screams made the giant claw crab not believe the touch from its own claws.

Is this... a hit?

Bibi bird feathers float on the water.

The giant claw crab's powerful attack power meant that even if this was the first time it actually hit the bird, it still suffered an unacceptable heavy blow.

"Bibi Bird!"

The challenger exclaimed.

Tetsuya crossed his arms over his chest: "The last lesson of this battle is, never let down your guard until the outcome is decided."

The words just fell.

The depowered giant crab's eyes turned into whirlpools and lost its ability to fight.

If it has a strong desire to win, it may be able to fight for a while.

But obviously, this is not very realistic.

Bibi struggled to get up from the floating board.

Although its state is extremely low, it has not completely lost its combat capabilities.

The referee raised his head with a calm expression and announced the result: "The Giant Crab has lost its ability to fight, and Bidu wins. Please send a second elf from the side of the challenger."

"Then the decision is yours."

Tetsuya threw the second Poké Ball casually.

He has already made a decision on whether the other party can get the badge.

This second battle is more of a formality.

What appeared in the water was a lower-level clam.

With his full physical strength, he was able to successfully take away Bibi Bird, who was still breathing.

But facing the Grass + Poison-type Mouth Flower, Big Tongue Bei was defeated without any suspense.

"Well, congratulations, this is the blue badge of Hualan Gym. I hope you will continue to work hard and achieve good results in the competition."

Distribute badges to excited challengers.

Zhe also walked up to the spectator seats.

"You are familiar with what you are doing."

Minglan praised, "It was indeed the right thing to ask you to do this."

Xiaoxia was puzzled: "But if we had covered it with foam or foam light just now, it would have been impossible for the Giant Claw Crab to lose."

An old man and a young man looked at each other and smiled.

Tetsuya explained: "The purpose of gym battles and the meaning of the existence of badges has never been the blind pursuit of victory.

Sometimes, it is necessary to give qualified novice trainers who have just debuted a little confidence."

"Purpose and meaning? It's indeed a good understanding."

In a corner that none of the three people noticed.

A sneaky man wearing a beige trench coat, a mask and sunglasses nodded when he heard this.

"Let's go, we have to observe it for a while."

She called out to the red jet-like elf floating beside her.

"ah"

The red Pokémon nodded obediently.

He glanced at Tetsuya curiously and left the scene with his trainer.

"Um?"

Zheye looked around with some emotion, but there was nothing there.
