Pokémon: Encounter

The mountains are towering and the air is filled with dust.

This is all that can be seen from the current perspective of the South.

This reminded him of the scene when he met Absol before, except that the mountains here were more desolate.

Long Kong led Nan Fang to walk slowly among the mountains. The occasional dragon roar indicated that its master existed here.

"As expected of Garchomp and Tyrannosaurus, that's exactly their style." Nan Fang wrapped his clothes tightly around him and looked around.

"Both races are extremely ferocious and live in similar environments, so sometimes they often fight over food, and neither of them gives in. It can be said to be a strange balance."

"It would be hard for a Pokémon living between these two."

“But that’s natural selection.”

The two chatted as they climbed. At this moment, the sound of fighting seemed to be heard not far away.

"Hmm? Could it be that Garchomp and Tyrannosaurus are fighting again?"

"No! There's a voice! It's the trainer!"

The two of them immediately quickened their pace and ran towards the direction where the sound came from.

"Ma'la! Hold on!"

"boom!"

A Pokémon that was all black with a bright red crown and long, sharp claws was knocked away by a Garchomp.

"Ma'la! Are you okay?"

It was a girl's voice.

"Mahuo!!!"

Even with the defensive skill, Ma'la's small body could not withstand the huge impact of the opposite side's Liebite Land Shark. Ma'la stood up, shook his head, and roared at Nightingale standing beside him.

"So strong!?"

The girl clenched her fists and clenched her teeth.

Opposite them was a scarred Land Shark.

The Land Shark looks similar to a hammerhead shark, with a dark blue base color, red from the lower jaw to the upper abdomen, and yellow in the lower abdomen.

It has two protrusions on its head, an inverted five-pointed star-shaped yellow spot on the tip of its nose, sharp teeth in its mouth, and three gill slits on both sides of its neck.

It has white single-toed paws, three-toed feet, and two white spurs on each of its upper arms and thighs.

The wings of the Land Shark are located on its forearms, similar to the pectoral fins of a shark. If it folds its body and spreads its wings in the sky, it looks like a jet plane.

This Land Shark has a notch on its dorsal fin and is a male.

That’s right, the trainer currently fighting Garchomp is one of Nanfang’s teammates, Nightingale.

Nan Fang and Long Kong climbed to a high cliff and looked down. Nan Fang recognized her at a glance.

"Great! That's my teammate! Finally some gains! It seems that her condition is pretty good. But why would she fight against Garchomp?" Nan Fang wondered.

"It should be a test." Long Kong said as he looked at the Land Shark opposite him.

"I don't know whether this girl came here intentionally or unintentionally, and then met the Land Shark, and wanted to tame a young beast."

"If it was an accidental conflict, the Ma-la should have fallen by now."

"But I didn't expect it to be a Garchomp. I don't know whether your little teammate is lucky or unlucky. I know that Garchomp. It's the strongest one in its group."

"You can tell by the scars all over its body. It's a body of honor."

After listening to Long Kong's narration, Nan Fang's joy was suddenly dissipated, and he began to worry about Nightingale.

Nightingale’s strength is at least on par with ordinary gym leaders, but when facing the strongest Garchomp, there seems to be some gap.

Nan Fang was about to go down to help, but was pulled back by Long Kong.

"Don't be impulsive. Since Garchomp has decided to test her, he has already acknowledged her a little bit."

"If you get involved now, the result won't be just a test. We may very well face an entire tribe of them."

"Don't worry. The Pokémon in the Dragon Cave still have their own considerations for the trainer's test. After all, they don't want their talented children to stay in such a desolate place forever."

Long Kong said with certainty.

Seeing that Long Kong didn't seem to be joking, Nan Fang could only calm down and look at the battle below seriously and worriedly again, so that he could provide timely support if anything unexpected happened.

"Ma'la! Get close to its vital points and attack it secretly!"

"Mahuo!"

Malanla pulled out a purple long knife, flashed, and quickly approached the Land Shark.

Land Shark stood still, but his eyes were fixed on following the movements of Mamaura.

"strong!"

Land Shark suddenly swung out a dragon claw and cut fiercely to his right side.

"Get away!"

Ma'la immediately lowered his head and dodged, narrowly avoiding the attack of the dragon claw.

"Now! Freezing Fist!"

Mamaura slid sideways, then gathered power with his right foot, and instantly condensed ice energy with his right hand and wrapped around his entire right arm.

"boom!"

This freezing punch hit Garchomp's abdomen solidly, with great effect!

Liebite Lu Shark felt the pain and was knocked back several steps by Ma'la's heavy punch, then he managed to stabilize his body. Then he threw out another dragon claw with his left hand, not giving Ma'la any chance to breathe.

Such perseverance and reaction speed made Nan Fang smack his lips in amazement, and his heart almost rose to his throat.

"I knew it wouldn't be that simple, Mama! Kick from the bottom!"

With his agile speed and short stature, Ma'la immediately squatted down and kicked Land Shark's ankle.

Nightingale countered the move, not only dodging the second attack of Dragon Claw, but also inflicted heavy damage to Tyrannosaurus once again.

"Pretty!"

The South shouted.

"It should be stable."

Long Kong also nodded repeatedly.

Garchomp's body lost weight and tilted, falling heavily to the ground. Nightingale commanded Magellan to retreat. After all, it was a fair fight, there was no need for him to take advantage of the situation. He came here to get the Pokémon he wanted, not to fight a life-and-death battle. If that were the case, Magellan would have died many times.

She can't be compared with the two perverts in her team. She knows her own weight better.

"Li~!"

The smoke and dust cleared, and Garchomp roared softly, then slowly stood up. He then waved at Nightingale, signaling that the battle was over.

Then Land Shark shouted a few more times towards the crevice on the side.

A dark blue, round little creature ran out happily from between the rocks.

"Swish! Swish! Round!"

"It's the round land shark! It looks like Nightingale succeeded!"

Nan Fang was also happy for his teammates at this time.

After all, it is a quasi-dragon-type Pokémon, and its future is limitless.

"Yeah. It looks like that. Your team is pretty good."

Long Kong exclaimed with satisfaction.

"Clap clap clap!"

Nan Fang was stunned. Just when he was about to stand up and greet Nightingale, applause suddenly came from another high cliff not far away.

"Not bad, not bad~ You are worthy of being my good sister. Even our Pokémon are the same~"
