...
"Slaking." Seeing the Pokemon, Natsu lightly said its name.
The three forms of Pokémon, Slakoth, Vigoroth, and Slaking, also represent their three states, sloth, excitement, and sloth, like an inescapable cycle.
So many trainers who love Pokémon like Slakoth won't choose to let it evolve again once their Pokémon evolves into Vigoroth.
But Natsu knew that one of the people who maintained the most famous the ranks of Slakoth, Vigoroth, and Slaking.
It was Gym Leader Norman from Petalburg City, Hoenn Region!
Despite being a Gym Leader, his strength was no weaker than some Elite Four trainers. As a Trainer who specializes in Normal Type Pokémon, Norman is very proficient at training Pokémon, and what he excels at is training from the ranks of Slakoth, Vigoroth, and Slaking.
His Trump Card Pokemon is Slaking.
It's just that Slaking Norman is different from other Slaking because it's not lazy at all.
What is the concept of Slaking that is not lazy?
With this not lazy Slaking, Norman looked down on most Elite Trainers quite a bit, even on par with some Elite Four Trainers.
But Norman is a family-oriented man. He doesn't want to be the Elite Four and traveling who can't take care of his house. Therefore, he only served as the Gym Leader in Petalburg City, a well-established city in the Hoenn Region.
No one knows how Norman cultivated Slaking. Even Norman himself, after cultivating so many Slakoths and Vigoroths, only one Slaking wasn't lazy.
So many people are wondering, Are Slaking Norman's Traits not a "Traunt", then what are his traits?
Some people try to do experiments to change the Slaking Traits with "Trace" into other Traits, such as "Huge Power".
The final result.
After all, Slaking is still not a Pokémon that people like.
Strong is strong, but the shortcomings are also obvious.
And now, in front of Natsu, there was Slaking.
Slaking lay under a tree with his head propped up, lazy eyes swept over Natsu and his Pokemon, and finally fell on Doublade.
"Ouch?!"
Seeing Slaking's gaze, Doublade shivered.
Dangerous!
"Snor-"
Slaking suddenly shuddered, supported his knees, and slowly stood up.
With a height of over two meters, facing Doublade, a slight movement slowly appeared in his lazy eyes.
"Snor!"
He stretched out his wide, calloused hand, moved towards Doublade and interlocked his fingers.
"Ouch!"
Doublade shook his head, took two steps back, and looked at Natsu as if asking for help.
Natsu frowned.
From Slaking's action, it wasn't hard to see that he should be interested in Doublade. It was probably from the overwhelming power of Doublade's Fury Cutter Sacred Sword combination move.
What is Slaking's power?
Natsu didn't know.
So he looked at Doublade.
Doublade looked sad, turned his head slowly, looked at the strong chest muscles of the burly Slaking, and swallowed gently.
But it's impossible, get ready to go too, because Natsu told him to cut then cut it!
Zheng!
Cut, cut, cut!
As soon as the tip of the sword spun, the cold light from the sharp blade swept through the air and let out a low sharp sound.
Dark red air flowed, covered Doublade's body and quickly disappeared.
Release the Sword Dance move again.
Immediately after, a huge blue illusory shadow swelled from his sword, and the Sacred Sword Fury Cutter's third sword had not yet ended.
Real combat is the best way to increase your strength.
The Fury Cutter Sacred Sword Doublade combination move, from the start, couldn't connect, and now it can barely maintain the duration of the third sword, how many days has it passed?
High-frequency and high-intensity combat in different spaces meant that Doublade had to quickly understand combo tricks, and slowly learn and master them.
Of course, part of the reason why Doublade can develop so quickly is also due to the coexistence of his two characters, who can do two things at once or even be multipurpose.
Otherwise, other Pokémon will want to master combination moves like that, either impossible or very difficult.
It can be said that this is a combination move designed by Natsu for the unique character Doublade.
clang!
As the illusionary image of the Sacred Sword formed, Doublade removed the fear from his eyes, his eyes were as calm as water, and the blade fell from his head.
"Snoor!"
Sensing the threat posed by Doublade's move, Slaking shouted loudly, showing a hint of excitement after a long absence.
Not dodge either.
He clenched his sturdy fist, the size of a sandbag, to build up the strength of the fist. Traces of fire shot out from the gap between his fingers, instantly finishing his fist wrap.
Facing the Doublade's Fury Cutter Sacred Sword, it is Slaking's Fire Punch.
clang! !
Crisp sound.
Slaking showed shock in his eyes, and a huge force came from his arm, making him have to take two steps back to stand up completely.
Doublade on the other hand was not so relaxed, his body suddenly flew upside down, and after hitting a large tree, he managed to control his body and did not continue to retreat.
But that wasn't the only thing that affected him.
On the blade, where it touched Fire Punch Slaking, blushed.
Doublade felt a burning pain.
"Cherrim." Natsu calls just in time, and Cherrim immediately sends Aromatherapy to Doublade, allowing the searing pain to slowly dissipate.
Slaking with sleepy eyes slightly narrowed, looked at him for a while and lay on the ground again.
Gym Leader Level!
And even at the Gym Leader level, it was a relatively powerful existence.
Even though Doublade was still at the (elite) level, he had been blessed with "Sword Dance" twice, and it was also the third sword of the Fury Cutter Sacred Sword, even if it was an ordinary Gym Leader level Pokémon, picking up this sword would be unbearable.
But Slaking only took a few steps back.
"Snor-"
Slaking who was lying on the ground waved his hand, and Vigoroth who surrounded Natsu and Lorelei immediately dispersed, ignoring them.
"What's the situation?" Lorelei asked quietly.
Natsu pursed his lips, "The Doublade's strength and ability should have been recognized by Slaking, so allow us to walk in their territory."
Must.
Lorelei was surprised.
Get this down.
Wild Pokémon, in addition to Pokémon that are mild-tempered and not very territory-obsessed, there are also Pokémon that are very territory-oriented that will attack viciously once they enter their territory, but there are also types of Pokémon such as Slaking and Vigoroth, as long as their strength is recognized, the hostility displayed is not would be too big.
Increased knowledge.
"Then we"
"Look for the marks again, and try not to interfere with the normal lives of Slaking and Vigoroth." Since they were all giving faces like this, Natsu felt that the two of them were still safe.
Looking past the tree under the Slaking rest tree, Natsu looked inside.
There were still about a dozen Slaking lying there!
If they all had such power, it would be a big problem if they were to unite.
One more thing is worse than one less thing. Now that Team Magma had entered a different space, he still needed to find and get through it as soon as possible. When everyone is gathered together, there is at least some security.
It's just that others may not notice it.
After Natsu and Lorelei left with some of their Pokémon, they turned their backs on Slaking.
Slaking's open fist shook with red spots on his hands.
Slaking lightly blew his hand with some difficulty.
Natsu's guess was right, Doublade's power was indeed recognized by Slaking.
Of course this is only partly because they are lazy.
Too lazy to bother driving Natsu and them away.
Vigoroth's strength is not enough, and Slaking is too lazy, so Natsu and Lorelei logically obtain a "pass" ticket and can roam Vigoroth's large territory.
In half an hour.
Natsu's heart broke when he saw a somewhat embarrassed looking head sticking out of the tree hole.
Roxanne!
Steven's little fangirl!
It was only at this time that he remembered that while he was discussing the sign with Lance and the others, Roxanne had also gotten into a mess.
He's desperate right now.
He came to find the thigh, why does it seem like he is the one now?
Is the script wrong?
But for Roxanne, Natsu's presence was like a savior, and if it was Steven, she might burst into tears.
For this group of young Trainers who were teleported to a different space, Roxanne was one with bad luck, but also one with good luck.
Damn it almost fell into the box.
Roxanne fell directly into Slaking and Vigoroth's territory, and it was still a large-scale territory.
You can imagine when Roxanne first came here, she was surrounded by a group of Vigoroths, It was really tsk tsk tsk.
Like Lorelei, Roxanne is also a member of the Academy, but compared to Lorelei, Roxanne is younger and less experienced, and under the protection of her father's fur coat for a long time, she has almost no experience in the wild, even this experiment. she hid from her father and secretly reported the name.
Lorelei also meets Slaking and Vigoroth who she finds very difficult. You can imagine how miserable Roxanne's life has been these past few days.
It's also a hyperactive and violent type of Pokémon; at most, Vigoroth looks for her Pokémon a dozen times a day.
As for why she was considered good luck.
Because at least she has no mortal danger, even though she is afraid, she is better than salvation.
And in Vigoroth's territory, it also helped her isolate most of the vicious Pokémon, and most importantly, isolate some of the evil Trainers.
In the current situation where Team Magma entered a different space, it could be considered a "shelter" from Vigoroth, so don't worry too much about Team Magma's attacks.
It is just
It's really a bit sad seeing it now.
When Roxanne finished her story, Lorelei patted her head sympathetically.
A member of the academy faction, Roxanne and Lorelei when they entered a different space might not have a better life if she didn't meet Natsu.
Bonfire.
Looking at the two girls, one big and one small sitting opposite, one is a typical royal sister fan, the other is a proper loli.
It's fine with Lorelei, at least he can still be a thug for now, but Roxanne doesn't seem very useful.
'I actually brought these two people, one big oil bottle and one small oil bottle.'
And also in a situation where Team Magma can be found at any time.
If he was alone, he could fight or run depending on the situation, but what if he ran away with the two of them?
Lorelei might be able to run, but Roxanne was really in trouble.
However, Natsu couldn't do anything about it, Roxanne was Steven's cousin and there was Lorelei too.
On the way to find the thigh, it is the greatest sadness to know that he is the thigh.
After some thought, he made a decision.
In front of.
Lorelei and Roxanne had a good chat and seemed to get to know each other very quickly.
"cough cough." Natsu coughed softly, interrupting their conversation.
The two of them looked at him at the same time.
After a brief exchange, Roxanne also learned from Lorelei that their forces were both led by Natsu, and most of the decisions were made by Natsu, and judging by the current results, there was nothing wrong with this decision.
"That's right, I was just thinking about it, and thought you two should stay here."
hearing this, Roxanne's skin instantly turned white, and Lorelei showed a thoughtful look.
"No I don't" Roxanne shook her head frantically.
She was sick of the days of being bullied by Vigoroth.
"Believe me, this is the safest place." Natsu said earnestly.
Turned his head and looked at Lorelei, "What do you think?"
Lorelei bit her lip, she knew Natsu was right.
It is just
she felt like she had really become a burden, which was the hardest thing for the proud Lorelei to accept.
"I..."
Seeing Lorelei's expression, Natsu knew she had misunderstood too.
He waved his hand quickly, "I mean, we choose to stay here temporarily, I'll go out and look for someone else's marks, and then come back before nightfall, I have Kadabra Teleport support to do this.
And all you need to do is take advantage of this opportunity to improve each of you as soon as possible, there is no more suitable training object than this group of Vigoroths."
This is the plan.
As long as he moved alone, his movement speed would be much faster. With Kadabra's Teleport ability, he was able to return quickly after a few more visits, which avoided the trouble of carrying two bottles of oil. It is also a safe place to live.
Hearing Natsu say that, Lorelei immediately felt a little regretful, she really misunderstood.
Roxanne looked at Lorelei, then at Natsu, as if she had no right to say no.
"I will eat some dry food tonight, then all of you go to bed early and rest well. I'll be responsible for just in case."
"Okay."
After eating, Lorelei and Roxanne entered the tree hole to rest, Natsu called out to Doublade.
Another reason for choosing to stay here is for Doublade.
His layering plans had been delayed and dragged on until now, and Natsu didn't want to drag him any further.
In the face of Team Magma, he had to increase his strength as soon as possible to ensure that he had sufficient self-protection power, and at the same time he could wait and see Team Magma's actions.
It wasn't just Team Magma that was excited about Primal Groudon's Carapace Shards.
He too.
"Ouch?" Doublade came up to him, slightly confused.
Explosion-
Natsu took out a piece of shiny silver metal the size of a palm, not big, but very heavy.
The same piece of metal as Steel Pillar Registeel's metal
