Having just ended a severe drought and begun to accept the challenge of the Trainer, they were greeted by such a powerful challenger.
This really brought a sense of urgency to Bugsy.
"I didn't expect you to defeat my Spinarak so easily..."
Bugsy took out another Pokémon ball: "Next, my second Pokémon is~~"
"The proudest and most holy warrior of Bug Pokémon, go, Scyther!!"
BANG!
Brandishing two swords, Scyther, a green-colored winged creature, appeared on the scene.
"Hucha~!"
Scyther's double swords were very suitable for the situation. As they slashed there, people could vaguely feel the sharp blades.
The sound of breaking through the air also showed that this Scyther was an absolutely aggressive Pokémon!
"Is this one of his Trump Cards?"
"Well, facing Ash's Heracross, he will eventually bring out his strongest Pokémon, right?"
Misty and Xiaogang both felt that as long as Bugsy was a normal Pokémon Gym Trainer, he would naturally be able to see how tricky this Heracross was.
Regardless of whether they can handle it or not, only the Trump Cards in their hands will qualify them to play and fight.
Otherwise, even if you bring out more Pokémon like Spinarak and Metapod, the outcome will be failure.
"Heracross, still using missile thorium."
"Scyther, use Double Team Technique~!!"
Compared to the Spinarak, which has relatively poor mobility, the Flying Type Scyther is much more flexible.
"Use Agility again and dodge quickly~!!"
[Double Team Technique] plus [Agility], plus Scyther's own extremely fast speed.
It can be said that Ash and the others are also very clear about Agan's plan.
"Do you want to use the ultimate speed attack flow to decide the outcome?" "813" Ash smiled noncommittally, "If it's other Pokémon, it might be very effective."
"But if it's about Heracross~~~"
"Then your decision will be a miscalculation."
Looking at the Scyther who was increasing his speed, "If you are planning to go for a quick attack, then you should use a special move that can hit the target accurately, such as ~E-"
"Scyther, use [Quick Attack]!!!"
Bugsy yelled, giving Scyther the safest order directly.
"It's [Quick Attack] after all."
Ash chuckled.
[Quick Attack], rush at Rival with lightning speed, and you will definitely be able to attack first.
This is the favorite, most commonly used, and tentative skill of the Pokémon Trainer.
Even Bugsy, when facing Ash's Heracross, chose to play it safe.
However, it was this kind of caution that laid the groundwork for his failure.
"Heracross, use [Quick Counterattack]!"
Ash ordered decisively.
"Quick counterattack?!"
Bugsy was stunned at first, and then his expression suddenly changed.
"Is there still this trick?!!!"
[Quick Counterattack], after noticing Rival's movements, he attacks with the base of his palm, causing Rival to flinch.
If Rival's move is not a preemptive attack, it will fail.
In other words, this is a powerful counterattack after Rival launches a preemptive attack!
This is the Fighting Type's special move, although its power is not great, only 65.
However, its ability to counterattack is very rare among many skills and moves.
And it is worth mentioning that Ash's Pikachu also knows this trick.
"Heracross~!!"
By the time Bugsy realized this, it was too late.
All of a sudden, a Bug Buzz was heard from Heracross.
His palms were pushed back in an accumulation manner, and a strong Fighting Type force was gathered at the base of his palms.
Whoosh~!!
Scyther's wings turned into a white light and rushed over quickly with Heracross in his arms.
Ding ding!!
The special move [Quick Attack] hit directly, and Scyther's two swords chopped Heracross's body with two clicks.
It was so smooth and successful that Scyther even subconsciously thought that he could continue to use special moves such as [Fury Cutter] or [Double Cut].
Continue to bring continuous enhanced damage to Rival.
However, before this idea emerged in its mind and it began to be implemented.
"Heracross!!"
Heracross strikes back, and the Fighting Type power that has been accumulated for a long time suddenly blasts forward!
BANG!
The two palms hit Scyther's chest directly.
The huge force prevented Scyther from reacting in time, and it was swept away with its entire body, flying backwards out of the stadium.
Boom~!!
In the forest environment of the Azalea Gym, Scyther's body was deeply engraved on the largest tree.
Circles of swirling eyes also appeared on its dark green face.
"Scyther...…"
Bugsy, who didn't realize there was such a trick, couldn't help but show a look of distress on his face.
This was not Scyther's fault, but his mistake as a Trainer.
I didn't expect Heracross to have such a trick.
"Come back, Scyther. Thank you for your hard work."
Bugsy sighed, then took out the Pokémon ball and took Scyther back.
"Scyther is incapacitated, Heracross wins."
Bugsy wrinkled his face into a bitter one as he announced the result of the competition.
So, it's already two to zero.
And the third Pokémon battle...
"That's no longer necessary."
Bugsy shook his head and collected all the Pokémon balls.
"The gym has just started accepting challenges, and my Pokémon are not fully prepared yet."
Bugsy explained truthfully, "My third Pokémon is a Metapod, and I have no hope of winning against that Heracross..."
Well, mainly because of the strength of Ash's Heracross, which is really amazing.
Bugsy felt that even if he brought out another main Pokémon, the result would probably not change.
"Okay, this Kunzhong Badge is yours."
Bugsy opened his palm towards Ash, and inside was a round black and red Badge with a few black circular patterns dotted on it, resembling a seven-spotted ladybug.
"This is the Hive Badge~"
Ash took it, looked at it for a few seconds, and pinned it inside his lapel as usual.
"Hive Badge, I got it!!"
The second gym badge in this Johto Region was also collected by the gardener!!
In this way, their journey will continue smoothly.
After getting the Hive Badge, there is no need to stay in Azalea Town any longer.
Especially after Slowpoke used the skill "Rain Dance", the whole town just started to recover and work again.
Even Bugsy, after sending out the Badges, started to busy himself with reorganizing and tidying up his own gym.
Ash and the others did not stay here and continue to disturb this town~~
Well, the main reason is that there are just too many Slowpokes here.
In order to avoid accidentally stepping on them, which would cause more trouble.
Ash and his group also left here as soon as possible.
Their next destination is the Goldenrod Gym in Goldenrod City.
After walking out of Azalea Town, they came to a dense forest.
This is Ilex Forest, a forest in the southern part of Johto Region, close to Azalea Town.
The forest is lush and leafy, blocking out the sun. Even during the day it is as dark as at night. There are a huge number of Bug Type Pokémon living in it.
Ash and his group entered the Ilex Forest and saw the charcoal burner apprentice Shangren who was training the familiar Pokémon Farfetch'd.
Because he was unwilling to follow Shangren's command to use the Iai hack, Incong fled from Shangren in a panic.
Ash and others happened to see this scene, and then...
Just act as if nothing happened and continue on your way forward.
Well, this is obviously a Trainer training his own Pokémon.
It was his own improper training method that drove his Pokémon away.
Ash and other passers-by didn't want to get involved in such things.
As trainers, we still need to know how to avoid suspicion.
As for whether this Shangren can get his Farfetch'd back, that is his own business.
After walking out of the Ilex Forest, a modern city appeared before their eyes.
The town of Ye is close to the sea and has a very refreshing sea breeze.
"The breeze from the sea is so comfortable~"
"It's still this kind of city wind that makes people feel more comfortable."
The group walked on the road to Ye Town, enjoying this rare leisurely moment.
But~
"Hey! You should straighten your back so that your posture will look good!!"
Suddenly, a scolding voice came from the side, which largely destroyed this beautiful picture.
"Also, if you don't act cute, no one will like you!!"
A rather young Trainer was giving instructions to his Pokémon.
And that Pokémon has a blue body and a black tail.
There are what look like a pair of eyes on the tail.
Its upper lip is serrated and its eyes appear to be squinting.
It has a pair of flat hands and four stubby legs, and something like a belt on its head.
"This Pokémon is... Wobbuffet?!!"
Xiaogang took a look at it, thought about it for a moment, and then recognized it.
"Beep, Wobbuffet, a Bide Pokémon. Although it is usually very well-behaved, it will fight back fiercely if its Black tail is attacked. It will wait for sunset in its nest in the cave."
The Rotom Pokédex keeps track of this in real time.
This is the first time that everyone has seen a Pokémon like Wobbuffet.
However, when Ash saw this Wobbuffet, the data and information appeared clearly.
[Pokémon:Wobbuffet]
[Gender: Male]
[Trainer: Ade]
[Attribute:Psychic]
[Ability: Shadow Stomp (Stomp Rival's shadow to prevent him from escaping or replacing. Put all the opponent's non-Ghost Type Pokémon that do not have the Shadow Stomp Ability into a Contest Condition where they cannot escape, making them unable to replace or escape.)]
[Skill: Double Blessing
Also, Mirror Coat, Bide]
[Carrying things: None]
[Potential: Champion]
[Training suggestions:.....
[Entries: The best attack is defense (color), whispering (gold), and taking things as they come (gold).]
[The best attack is defense (color)]: As a Wobbuffet, it hates light and shock, and will not actively attack. It is Bide's Pokémon and thinks the best
Attack is defense. It cannot learn any offensive moves, but for counterattack moves, the damage of the counterattack will be ten times greater. The first time it is activated, it can ignore the Rival game.
Any influence and effects caused by the other party.
[Sob (Gold)]: Its signature catchphrase makes it smarter and wiser than a normal Pokémon. It can make precise counterattacks based on Rival's attacks.
No matter what kind of attack he faces, he can accurately perform a special move that is enough to rebound Rival's attack.
[Go with the Flow (Gold)]: Very obedient, no matter what kind of Trainer they follow, they will honestly carry out the task.
When completing tasks assigned by the Trainer, the efficiency is increased by 50%.
One color, two golds!!
Color! Another color-level entry!!
After Ash checked all its information, he immediately set his sights on this Wobbuffet.
This is another Pokémon with a colorful entry besides his Pikachu, Charizard, Mewtwo and other Pokémon!!
"Then if nothing unexpected happens..."
Ash knew in his heart, "This should be the Wobbuffet that Jessie was supposed to have."
In the original storyline, Wobbuffet is a Pokémon named Ade, who is the Trainer in front of you who is scolding Wobbuffet.
He came to the Pokémon Exchange Conference in Leaf Town specifically to exchange his Wobbuffet for another Pokémon to train.
But since Wobbuffet is too weak, no one wants to trade with him.
Although with the help of Ash and his group, he found someone willing to exchange his Pokémon.
Ader wanted to exchange Wobbuffet and the Trainer for his Stantler.
But because that Trainer took a fancy to another Trainer's Hoothoot, he gave up the idea of exchanging Pokémon with Ade.
However, at this moment, Uncle Magikarp, who was chased away by the violent Kojira, accidentally bumped into Jessie.
The Pokémon ball that caused Lickitung in Jessie's pocket fell onto the exchange machine.
Without Jessie's knowledge, she accidentally swapped with Ade's Wobbuffet, swapping their Pokémon.
At the end of the exchange conference, Ade told Jessie that he would take good care of her Lickitung.
In exchange, he hoped that Jessie would take good care of Wobbuffet.
From that time on, Wobbuffet just went with the flow and followed 2.9 and Jessie.
This Wobbuffet... No, it should be called the [Fruit God].
Its record is not as good as Normal's.
This Wobbuffet cannot attack actively, but can bounce back Rival's attack with the moves "Mirror Coat" and "Counter", and the rebound power is doubled.
promote.
It has some very exciting records, such as being able to rebound Articuno's Blizzard, one of the three stupid birds.
And the most critical one is the shadow ball of Charon dragon Giratina, which even ruined the latter's reputation.
He also resisted Pikachu's Thunderbolt many times and became a key fighting force in the movie.
In fact, Wobbuffet is even nicknamed "the strongest shield" in the Pokémon world.
Its moves can perfectly defend against most attacks.
In the movie "Hoopa: The Super Demon of Light", Wobbuffet even defended against an attack from the mythical beast Kyurem.
The attack almost bounced back to Groudon. If it had bounced back, it could basically be said that Wobbuffet indirectly dealt a heavy blow to Groudon.
It can be said that although this Wobbuffet cannot actively attack, its own strength is not as strong as Normal!
It can be cultivated as the so-called [Strongest Shield]!!
The excellent entry of one color and two golds is enough to explain everything!!
"Colored entries, the best attack is defense, the rebounded damage is directly increased by ten times, and the first time it is activated, it can ignore the attack power and damage of Rival
....
Let's not talk about the tenfold rebound effect. Doesn't the first rebound after that mean that it can rebound all attacks?
Even if the Creator God Alpaca attacks, as long as Wobbuffet is in the front and launches the first rebound move, it can be successfully rebounded!
From this point of view, this Wobbuffet deserves the title of "The Strongest Shield"!!
And if used properly, it will play an unexpected role in many critical situations!!
