Chapter 113 Espeon is a Trainer!
Chapter 113 Espeon is a Trainer!
Let me just say a few words.
From the very beginning of writing this book, it was not the kind of setting where a higher-level Pokémon would completely overwhelm another Pokémon. So please, dear readers, don't get too hung up on why the protagonist Pokémon doesn't completely crush the others throughout the entire story.
The typical "invincible" storyline on the market often involves building up emotions for several chapters before ending in a One-Punch Man-style conclusion, resulting in a rather thin portrayal of Pokémon.
If I were to write this kind of invincible story, I wouldn't follow the original setting where the Gym Leader is only a Gym Leader-level character. Instead, I would make it so that the Gym Leaders are actually Elite Four or Champion-level characters.
Otherwise, in the later stages, when the gym leaders are the top fighters in the league, the protagonist will hardly encounter any Elite Four or Champion opponents. Only by raising their levels can the game provide enough excitement.
Looking at the original work, unless they are legendary Pokémon, most of the tanky and powerful creatures are actually heroes (like the Champions)...
I have no intention of putting anything depressing in the beautiful world of Pokémon. So, without deliberately making things less intelligent, respecting the original settings, focusing on the plot, and having Gym Leaders able to go toe-to-toe with Champions is the best way to write a novel.
Of course, while maintaining a coherent plot, the protagonist still needs to fight his way through the enemy lines and have as much fun as possible.
So, dear readers, don't worry too much about why the protagonist is strong but doesn't just crush his opponents. As Pokémon enthusiasts, what you really want is to explore the possibilities of the Pokémon world through this book, rather than a one-dimensional character who just crushes his opponents, right?
Of course, if I really need to explain further, then you readers can understand it as follows: I can easily get a perfect score, but you put me in a passing grade exam, so naturally I don't have the need or mindset to go all out.
The following is the main text, and it has enough words.
-----------------
"Yoru!"
The mosquito coil swimmer flew through the air on all fours, then tightened his core muscles, forcefully adjusted his posture, and landed steadily.
But when it looked up, it saw Espeon staring at it mischievously, and Swampert walking ashore from the lake, soaking wet.
In the lake, several Water-type Pokémon witnessed Poliwag being thrown ashore by Swampert from the lake.
Even its own brother, the Mosquito Coil Frog King, looked at it with an embarrassed expression.
Clearly, it didn't expect that even after it had broken the unspoken rules and changed the weather to allow Poliwag's special abilities to shine, it would still lose to Swampert.
"Yo, yo-ru..."
The mosquito coil swimmer felt somewhat embarrassed as he looked at the swamp monster that had come ashore and was now on the opposite side of him.
It has always prided itself on being a strongman, and it is unmatched in water combat.
With its unique physical advantage of being able to run briefly on the water's surface, it is no match for any of the other Water-type Pokémon on the Goldenrod University team when it comes to fighting in the water.
But it actually lost to a giant swamp monster that had nowhere to get a foothold in the water!
"Yoru!"
The Poliwag Swimmer, unwilling to accept defeat, roared at Swampert.
This is an invitation to a rematch!
"stop!"
Just as the Mosquito Coil Swimmer was preparing for another showdown with Swampert on land, a sharp shout interrupted his actions.
Luther strode forward from the nearby shore and stood in front of the Mosquito Swimmer and the Swamp Monster.
He looked at the mosquito coil swimmer:
"Ah Yong, what are you doing?"
Then, he looked at the mosquito coil frog king, which had secretly slipped ashore from the lake at some unknown time, and roared angrily:
"Awa, as Ayong's older brother, are you just going to let it fool around like this? Look at the trouble you've caused!"
"Gua Niu".
Upon hearing Luther's angry curses, Mosquito Coil Swimmer looked around and realized that the lakeside had gradually become crowded with spectators while it was fighting Swampert.
Countless eyes were observing them with great interest.
It was just that it was too focused on the Swampert, so it didn't notice the presence of other people nearby.
After stopping his two Pokémon from moving, Luther slowly walked up to Swampert, his eyes filled with surprise.
Actually, he had already noticed this place when the Poliwag brothers were arguing with Espeon and Swampert.
However, because the four Pokémon were in the middle of the lake, too far from him, and all of them were action-oriented, they immediately started fighting each other, which prevented Luther from stopping them in time.
Although he discovered several Pokémon fighting in the lake, Luther wasn't actually too worried.
He knew very well that his two Pokémon might have some minor issues, but they were unlikely to do anything too outrageous.
Sure enough, when Swampert and Poliwag collided, neither Pokémon wisely refrained from using any moves.
Therefore, Luther only appeared to stop the Mosquito Swimmer after it was thrown ashore by the Swampert and became somewhat enraged, intending to use its attacks.
After stopping his own Pokémon's actions, Luthor became very interested in Swampert, which could only arm-wrestle with his Poliwag:
"Whose Pokémon are you?"
You know, the school team usually includes the best trainers and Pokémon from Goldenrod University, but he had never seen this Swampert before.
Could it be that it's a Pokémon belonging to one of the trainers on the school team?
A Swampert that isn't even a school team Pokémon actually beat a Poliwag Swimmer who can exert force on the lake's surface in a water-based brawl?
Therefore, he was very eager to know the origin of the Swamp Monster.
Swampert, who was originally preparing for the second battle against the Poliwag Swimmer, was surprised when its trainer suddenly appeared and asked it a question in a friendly tone.
This made the Swamp Monster scratch the fin on its head.
"Ratchet."
Trainers have said that water becomes extremely fierce and violent when it encounters violence, but extremely gentle and kind when it encounters tenderness. Being a Pokémon is just like being water.
Luther's friendliness made its expression relax as well:
"La chi la chi".
My trainer's name is Lu An.
However, this put Luther in a difficult position.
Although Pokémon trainers are trained to understand the general meaning of Pokémon's expressions, they cannot understand what Swampert is saying about the trainer's name!
"Isn't your trainer here?"
"La..."
Just as Swampert was about to respond obediently, a forked tail blocked its mouth.
“Buyi”.
Espeon walked up to Swampert, raised its head, and looked at Luther with a provocative expression.
"Bu-i, i?"
It belongs to my family, doesn't it?
Luther looked at the Espeon in front of him, its fur still matted and not completely fluffed up, and didn't quite understand why it seemed to have such a bad temper.
"Eevee, are you and Swampert trained by the same trainer? May I ask who your trainer is?"
Upon hearing Luther's words, Espeon immediately realized that this was yet another guy who had been attracted by Swampert's strength and wanted to get to know Lu An.
However, the guy's two big frogs had gotten their fur wet from the lake, and it still hadn't dried completely. Eevee was very angry, and it wanted to directly refuse Luther's question.
But suddenly, Espeon paused halfway through turning its head, then a sly glint flashed in its eyes.
It looked at Luther, nodded first, then shook its head, and then gave the mosquito coil swimmer behind Luther a provocative look.
"Bu-i, bu-i-bu-i".
This made Luther's expression, who had deciphered its body language, turn strange:
"You mean, you want to know who your trainer is unless I command Poliwag to defeat your Swampert?"
Eevee nodded with a satisfied look, indicating that he was pleased that Eevee could understand what he was saying.
Swampert took two steps forward to Espeon's side. Even though it was two or three times larger than Espeon, in Luther's eyes it seemed to be shrinking back, asking Espeon a question:
"Ratchet, rattle?"
Miss, are you going to order me around?
Espeon stood tall and proud, looking at Swampert with an air of righteous indignation:
"Buyi!"
That's right!
At this moment, the shrewd and calculating Espeon even ignored Swampert's name for it.
The Swampert's expression immediately became conflicted: "Ratchet..."
But Miss, you're not a trainer...
Espeon's tail gently swept across Swampert's head:
"Bububuyi, Buyibuyi?"
Don't you think the way trainers command us in battle is really cool, really handsome, and really stylish?
Swampert recalled the scenes of Lu An commanding it in battle, always appearing confident and in complete control, as if the whole situation was under its command, which was indeed quite cool.
"La..."
Sun Ibrahimovic raised his head:
“Buyibuyi”.
Since that's the case, let me be your trainer for once and command you in battle.
