Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

Eslo flew up lightly and landed steadily in the trainer command area. He gently placed the tired but proud little fox on his left shoulder. The right shoulder belonged to the quiet Murkrow. The boy turned his head to look at the silent Mara beside him and asked with a smile: "Do you want to go on the field to stretch your muscles?"

Just now, the opponent's teammates were showing off their talents on the court.

"Ma." Ma'la's eyes moved slightly, his tone was calm, and he shook his head gently. The duel between Aislo and Dakdo was imminent, and he thought that the main players should be fully warmed up and kept in shape first.

"Is that so..." Aislo understood, and reached out to touch the cold head of Mamaura. His fingertips then slid across the Poké Ball belt around his waist, and finally stopped on a dark ball with black and green lines interwoven. "Then I'll leave it to you, Rogue Crocodile!"

The boy's voice was not loud, but his tone was full of trust in his partner.

The Poké Ball was thrown high up, and with a flash of red light, a rogue crocodile that was much larger than its peers, with muscular body and covered with reddish-brown scales, fell to the ground with a bang. The cold vertical pupils under the sunglasses swept across the whole place like a searchlight. He did not roar extravagantly, but just stood there quietly, like a silent mountain, exuding ferocity and calmness.

What a strong sense of oppression...

The audiences were secretly shocked, because this was something that the Moon Eevee that Zoroark had previously transformed into did not have. Although it did not look as powerful as Banguirus overall, it was enough to show that Croaking was a genuine champion-level Pokémon.

"Rogue Crocodile?" Xiaozhi looked solemn. He was not fooled by the Rogue Crocodile's apparent "calmness". The opponent's aura was restrained, making it difficult to tell the truth. What's more, Rogue Crocodile was an elf who had followed Eslo for a long time, so his strength should not be underestimated.

"Snorlax! Please!" The boy threw the Poké Ball in his hand.

"K-bi-!"

With a loud roar, a chubby and huge Snorlax slammed onto the field like a heavy artillery shell. He patted his big white belly in a naive manner, with his signature lazy smile on his face.

However, when Snorlax turned his gaze to Crocodile's face, the other party's horrible expression instantly made him stunned in place. The lazy smile on his face instantly froze. An instinctive chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. A drop of cold sweat slid down Snorlax's cheek, and he subconsciously took a step back.

It's a scary face!

"I have to say, the combination of Scary Face and Crocodile is really effective." Darko couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Crocodile's ferocious appearance. Just like the skill of acting cute, if Pikachu or Eevee use it, it will be very cute. But if Mud uses it... (ps: I don't mean to hate any Pokémon here!)

"It's a pity that the target is Snorlax. He's not fast to begin with, right?" Xiaoguang said at this time. The function of the scary face is to drastically reduce the opponent's speed. It is obvious that the girl does not know much about the Pokémon that Xiaozhi has captured in other regions.

Shinji on the side glanced at Xiaoguang, still silent, but stared at Xiaozhi more sharply.

"No, Xiaoguang," Xiaogang, who had traveled with Xiaozhi, explained in a deep voice, his brows furrowed, "Xiaozhi's Snorlax is very special... He loves sports very much, and his physical strength and speed far exceed those of his kind."

"That means Snorlax's speed was destroyed as soon as he came on the stage, right?" Marie glanced at Snorlax in the audience with her green eyes, revealing a hint of doubt. The opponent's chubby body made her doubt the speed that Xiaogang mentioned.

Xiao Gang nodded slightly, "Yes, Xiao Luo and the others were too targeted..."

"No, so sinister?" Ah Xun slapped his forehead. It was obvious that Aislo came prepared.

On the field, Xiaozhi looked at Snorlax retreating, and his heart sank. "Snorlax! Don't be scared!" The boy's voice was anxious, trying to dispel his partner's fear, "Go over and use Ice Punch!"

"K, Ki!" When Snorlax heard his trainer's voice, he shook his head violently, took a big step towards Crocodile, and ice-blue light flashed on his fists.

"Rogue crocodile, close combat!" Aislo was also prepared for a head-on fight.

"Ka--!" Rogue Crocodile also let out a roar and rushed towards Snorlax like an arrow. After reaching the opponent's side, he punched the round belly fiercely.

"Kirby--" Snorlax paused, and subconsciously slapped his hand with ice on it to his side, but unfortunately it was dodged by Crocodile nimbly.

Seeing Crocodile swinging his punch again, Snorlax quickly dodged to the side at a swift speed and took advantage of the opponent's punch to slap him with a palm.

Seeing this, Rogue Crocodile quickly crossed his arms in front of his chest to resist. With the help of the opponent's extraordinary strength, he jumped lightly and successfully created distance between himself and Snorlax.

"So fast..." Aislo couldn't help but sigh. Snorlax just dodged Crocodile's attack, but it couldn't be associated with his fat body at all.

"Then use earthquake! Rogue crocodile!"

"Crack--" The rogue crocodile let out a low roar, like a rolling thunder. His thick hind legs suddenly raised up, condensing terrifying ground energy, and stomped hard on the ground with the power to tear the earth apart.

Rumble, rumble——

The entire battlefield began to shake violently. The violent shock waves were like invisible waves, centered on Crocodile and rushing towards the unstable Snorlax. The ground was heaving and cracking violently like boiling water, and it seemed that the stands were shaking with it.

But the next moment, Xiaozhi's voice made Aislo slightly stunned.

"Kabbi Beast, bounce!"

"Snorlax--" Snorlax exerted force with both feet, and then jumped into the air, three or four meters above the ground. As he fell, Snorlax touched the vibrating ground with his elastic belly, and bounced to a higher place again, maintaining this posture and charging towards Crocodile.

"?" After a brief moment of shock, Aislo reacted quickly, "Rogue Crocodile, attack with sharp stones, push him high into the air!"

The moment the boy finished speaking, Crocodile understood his trainer's intention. After releasing his skills, he crouched down and stared at Snorlax intently, as if waiting for something.

A sharp rock pillar rose from the ground and stabbed straight at Snorlax like a sword.

"Snorlax, it's like a mountain falling on your head!" Xiaozhi also responded quickly. Although he didn't know what Eslo's purpose was, he would never let the other party succeed easily.

"Kirby——"

A faint white light covered Snorlax's belly and collided with the stabbing tree root rock pillars. With the sound of bangs, the rock pillars continued to shatter, but they seemed to be endless and kept hitting Snorlax, pushing Snorlax away.
