Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

The blue jay was flying in the front, and Wang Jin was trotting in the desert with his Katnid.

Having easily won the first battle, the Caterpie was extremely excited, shaking its head as it ran and jumped. The flaxen color on its body also danced, covering most of the black lines on its body.

"Chirp!"

Blue Crow soon discovered the next opponent and hovered in the sky to alert Wang Jin and Growlithe.

Seeing this, Wang Jin also sped up. After jumping over two small sand dunes, he finally found the target in a sunken sand gully.

It turned out to be a mud fish.

Galar's mudfish is different from ordinary mudfish. It is iron-gray in appearance, its tail has degenerated, and serrated hard fins have evolved at the front and back ends of its body. Its entire body looks like a trap, its mouth has become something like a Poké Ball, and the pattern on its back looks like a beast's footprint.

Such mud fish are also more aggressive.

The secondary attribute of ordinary mudfish is electricity, and prey that accidentally touches it will be paralyzed by the strong current it releases. However, the secondary attribute of Galar mudfish is steel, and its body is like a clamp, with such a strong force that it can even directly cut off the legs of prey.

The iron-gray mud fish in front of me was lying quietly in the sand gully. Due to the low and shady terrain, the light was dim and there was some brown mud at the bottom.

If you don't look carefully, it's easy to step on it and get pinched by the mud fish.

Wang Jin thought for a moment, then waved his arm to the curiously looking Caterpie beside him and said:

"Catti! Use Howl!"

"Woof~"

In response, the Caterpie raised its neck, opened its mouth and let out a long howl.

The function of the Howl is to increase the attack of yourself and your companion Pokémon.

Wang Jin continued:

"Use Long Howl again until the attack power is increased to the extreme!"

Hearing this, Caterpie howled a few more times, about seven or eight times. The increase in attack power was minimal.

On the small sand dune, Wang Jin quietly observed the mud fish lying on the mud bottom not far away, and its information appeared in his eyes.

[Name: Mud Fish]

[Level: 29 (Elite)]

【Features: Mimicry】

[Items to carry: none]

The level of this mudfish is very mediocre, and it is just suitable to be an opponent of Growlithe.

The function of the Mimicry trait is to allow Pokémon to change to the corresponding attributes in different venues. For example, if a Pokémon releases a grass venue, the Mudfish can change to a grass attribute, thus gaining the amplification of the grass venue.

In the current situation, this mimicry feature is of course useless.

And the panel of Katie Dogg is;

【Name: Katie Dog】

[Level: 25 (Elite)]

[Feature: Fire]

[Items to carry: none]

The Fire Attack trait can make Caterpie immune to the effects of fire-attribute moves, and when attacked by fire, it will also increase its attack and special attack. It is a relatively useful trait.

At this time, Cati Dog was staring at the mudfish lying quietly, as if waiting for the next order.

Wang Jin shouted:

"Use Sparks first!"

A wisp of flame brewed briefly in the mouth of the Caterpie, and then turned into a flame as thick as a human head, roasting the mud fish underground.

Although its level is not high, due to its excellent talent and good resources, Growlithe's sparks are comparable to the jet flames of some gym leader-level fire-attribute Pokémon.

The attributes of Galar Mudfish are ground and steel. Ground attributes will not be affected by fire damage, but steel attributes will be affected by double damage.

This spark will cause double damage to the mud fish below.

"Mud!"

The gray-black mud fish slapped the ground with its tail and rose into the air. It was almost burnt, and many dark burn marks appeared on its body.

"Mud!"

But Caterpie did not stop using sparks. It pointed its head at Mudfish, and the flames followed the Mudfish's body up and down.

Finally, the almost baked mud couldn't stand it anymore. It turned around and jumped onto the sand dune behind it, without even looking at the Caty Dog, and ran away.

"Very good!" Wang Jin nodded and continued to give orders, "Catti, use Flame Wheel! Chase!"

"Wang Woo!"

The Caterpie raised its head in response, then leaned forward and burst into flames, rolling forward on the sand.

The huge flaming wheel, carrying blazing flames, rolled over sand dunes and gullies at an astonishing speed in an instant, and successfully caught up with the fleeing mud fish.

Since the attack capability has been improved by Long Howl before, the Flame Wheel is also blessed by the Fire Induction, and the Mud Fish has its own attribute disadvantages, it will be affected by fire damage.

With multiple effects, this fire wheel directly knocked the mud fish back more than ten meters and it fell to the ground.

On the sand, the mud fish, covered in black smoke and charred all over, lay motionless, having lost its ability to fight.

"Woof!"

Cati Dog trotted over, as if wanting to bring back the roasted mud fish.

"No! Come back soon!" Wang Jin shouted twice, then took out the Poké Ball and remotely retrieved the Growlithe.

"Buzz~buzz~"

At this time, the communication device on the waist also began to vibrate violently.

"Hmm? It's Granny Sha calling..."

Wang Jin picked it up and answered it. An old and hoarse voice came from the other end of the microphone.

"Wang Jin, bring your team to gather at Suchuan Town! We're already here, and we've invited people from the group's TV station to come over. We're waiting for you!"

"Okay! We'll be there soon!" Wang Jin said and hung up the phone in a hurry.

He used the Poké Ball to collect the Blue Crow that was resting on his shoulder, and summoned Doronki:

"Let's go! Doronchi, let's go back!"

"Duolong~"

Duolongqi appeared, grabbed Wang Jin by the back of the collar and flew towards the camp at a rapid speed.

About half a minute later, Wang Jin arrived at the dilapidated city wall and the tent.

At this time, Maru was ready with her bag on her back. Lurina was also leaning against the wall, waiting with her arms folded.

"Sorry, I'm late..." Wang Jin said, looking around for Ounio. "Where's Ounio?"

"He went straight to Suchuan Town... He only walked for a few dozen seconds, so he's not in a hurry." Malu raised his head and rested his hands on his hands. He took big steps, turned in the direction, and walked towards Suchuan Town.

Wang Jin heard this and followed silently.

...

About ten minutes later.

Wang Jin and his four companions successfully met at the stairs at the corner of Suchuan Town.

Looking up, without the disturbing sandstorms, the dark brown mountains and the rustic town under the blue sky are very pleasant.

The gravel on this wide stone staircase was thick enough to bury shoes. Wang Jin sank into it and had to pull his foot out.

They soon arrived at the streets of Suchuan Town, where there was still thick dust. Residents crowded the streets, diligently cleaning up the mess in front of their houses.

Seeing Wang Jin and his three companions coming, the residents who were holding brooms and dustpans stood up one by one and saluted them.

"That's them, right? The trainers from the alliance who stopped the sandstorm..."

"Yes, these are the four. The reporter just mentioned them as well."

"Hero! Hero trainer..."
