Pokémon: Starting with a God-level Pikachu

"It doesn't matter. Pikachu doesn't like staying in a Poké Ball."

Su Bai quickly changed the subject.

Although it was cute that Shirona wanted to have an all-out battle with him, Su Bai would not agree to it rashly.

What's more, he only has two Pokémon now.

Su Bai used the new Pokémon Ball to capture Growlithe, and Growlithe was as happy as a Husky.

When Shirona bought this round tangerine ball, she registered Su Bai's ID number, which she secretly asked Qi Shijun about.

Dragon Country has very strict management of Poké Balls. Each Poké Ball is numbered, and non-Dragon Country trainers cannot buy Poké Balls in Dragon Country.

So now Shirona can only give Su Bai one ball.

After they had breakfast, they came to the Origin View again, and Pikachu and Garchomp continued to train Volt Replacement and Dragon Dance.

After evolving into Arcanine, Growlithe has the dragon attribute and can learn Dragon Dance, but the current Growlithe does not have the conditions to learn Dragon Dance.

At noon, Pikachu and Garchomp memorized the moves completely, and the two left the Origin Temple.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Hmm...I want to check out the gyms in this city."

Pokémon trainers are always interested in unfamiliar gyms, especially trainers like Shirona who like to battle.

The Origin Gym in J City is right next to the Qianda Plaza where the two had been before, so it’s just right for them to have a meal after playing in the gym.

There are many gyms in Dragon Country, and there are more than a dozen first-tier gyms alone.

However, if you want to participate in the Dragon Kingdom Donghuang Alliance Conference, you only need eight badges.

Because J City is an industrialized city, the Origin Gym is a steel-type gym.

Looking at the decoration that was out of tune with the surrounding commercial streets, Sirona was very interested.

"Sirona, do you want to challenge the gym?"

"Although I'm very interested, I still want to take a closer look at how you fight, is that okay?"

"No problem at all."

Because of the J University rule that getting a badge would add 10 credits, Su Bai had planned to challenge the Origin Gym before, and had specifically looked up information about the Origin Gym.

The gym rules here are two-on-two, so it’s just right for me to challenge them now.

Without the qualifications of a trainer, you cannot challenge a gym casually, but students of the Pokémon Department can, so Su Bai met the gym trainer very smoothly.

The gym trainer was named Wu Zhong, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his late 50s. After verifying Su Bai's student ID, he readily accepted Su Bai's challenge.

"Go ahead, Magnemite!"

Upon learning that this was the first gym that Su Bai was going to challenge, Uncle Wu Zhong took out a Magnemite of not very high level as per the rules.

Su Bai saw the information of this Magnemite based on the Pokémon encyclopedia given by the system.

A level 20 Magnemite with the characteristic of being strong.

"Go! Katie Dogg!"

Growlithe stood on the field, baring its teeth and threatening, and Magnemite reduced its physical attack by one level.

"Catti, use Spark!"

"Magnemite, use electric shock!"

Sparks and electric shocks collided, and there was no trace of Growlithe anymore on the field.

"Katie, do it!"

Growlithe suddenly emerged from the hole and knocked Magnemite flying.

"For the final blow, use Flame Fang on Growlithe!"

There was fire in the mouth of the Caterpie, and it took a bite with a "crack".

Magnemite immediately lost his ability to fight.

"Boy, is this the first gym you challenged?"

"Yes, it is indeed the first gym I challenged. I am only a junior at the beginning of the school year."

Looking at Su Bai with an innocent face, Shirona covered her mouth and chuckled in the audience.

After all, Su Bai's performance did not seem like that of a novice.

The sparks were just a feint. Su Bai's real purpose was to use the smoke caused by the sparks and electric shocks to cover up the hole he was digging, and then use the Flame Fang to deliver a fatal blow after getting close.

The movements were smooth and the timing was perfect, it was a very rhythmic attack.

"Magnemite, thank you for your hard work."

Wu Zhong took back Magnemite and sent out his second one.

"Please, Three-Mouse!"

I saw a three-gray hamster with a golden ramen head crawling out of the ball.

Wu Zhong seemed to like the appearance of this three-eared rat.

"How about it, kid? Have you seen it? I captured it when I went to the south for the annual vacation this year. It looks very cool, right?"

"I didn't expect to see the three Digletts from the Alola region here. It really deserves to be called the Dragon Country."

Sirona muttered to herself.

"Xiaobai, the three-eared rat also has ground-type attributes, and it is very fast. How are you going to deal with it?"

Su Bai took back Growler and released Pikachu.

"Triple Rat, triple attack!"

"Pikachu, use Lightning Flash to dodge!"

Su Bai's tactics were very clear, which was to increase his speed to the maximum while using lightning flashes to dodge the opponent's skills.

"Boy, hurry up! Three Diggers, block it with a burrow!"

Diglett's speed underground is much faster than on the ground. Although the holes he digs cannot attack Pikachu, in the blink of an eye, the battlefield is already full of holes.

There was no escape for Pikachu.

"Underground warfare~ Hey! Underground warfare~, ambushing millions of divine soldiers~~~!"

Wu Zhong sang proudly himself. This underground hole blocking trick was his favorite tactic. It was not only helpful in avoiding the opponent's attack, but also allowed him to attack from any angle, making it impossible for the opponent to defend himself.

"Challenger, let's see how you deal with this move."

"Pikachu, use Iron Tail on the ground!"

At Su Bai's command, Pikachu's iron tail slammed heavily to the ground.

The three moles that were hiding in the tunnel and wagging their tails were shaken out, and the warriors were stunned.

"Is this an earthquake?"

Shirona didn't expect Su Bai to have this trick, and couldn't help but laugh in her heart at Su Bai's reckless behavior.

However, this iron tail rescue trick is indeed a good combat thinking.

"Pikachu! Use Surf!"

Pikachu received Su Bai's order, and blue light appeared all over its body. A huge wave was raised, and under Pikachu's control, it directly hit the Diglett.

The three rats had nowhere to hide and immediately lost their ability to fight.

Wu Zhong took back the three rats with a wry smile and sighed helplessly.

I've never been so embarrassed since I became a gym trainer.

"Congratulations, young man! This is proof that you have defeated the Origin Gym. The Liberation Badge!"

The badge is in the shape of a five-pointed star with a pattern of crossed red flags and steel guns. It is a very heavy and domineering badge.

"Would you like to come to my gym to be my sparring partner? Eighty dollars a day, meals included!"

"That's very kind of you."

Su Bai took the badge and put it away carefully, saying that he would come back if he made up his mind.

[Ding! Check that the host has obtained the item: Liberation Badge. The host can currently use it randomly 1 times. Do you want to use it randomly? ]

"no"

[The host's current total number of random numbers is (10/100). Please try more random numbers. My fate is determined by heaven and not by me.]

On the street, Su Bai held the badge and looked at the sun for a long time.

"How is it, Sirona?"

"Great fight, I'm looking forward to fighting you more and more now."
