Chapter 2 First Battle

"Well, since you are so anxious to taste failure, then follow me to the backyard." Gary Solaceon said.

For the mission reward, Gary naturally had to fight with Xiaocheng.

"I won't lose." Xiaocheng didn't like Gary's arrogant attitude. As if he was sure that he would lose, he immediately followed and decided to defeat Gary.

...!

Gary was very familiar with the layout of Professor Oak's Laboratory and took Xiaocheng to the temporary venue behind the Laboratory.

Professor Oak and Xiaohuang also followed, wanting to see the battle between the two Trainer Rookies.

Gary and Xiaocheng each walked to the command area on both sides.

"Then I will be the temporary referee." Professor Oak was also interested. Although the battle between the two seemed very low-end to Professor Oak, he missed it very much. He also went through this way.

Now seeing that his grandson also started as a Rookie Trainer like himself, he felt very relieved while missing it.

"The next Pokémon duel between Gary and Orange will be 1v1. Please send out your Pokémon at the same time." Professor Oak announced in a serious manner.

"Come out, Charmander!"

"I'll leave it to you."

The two released Poké Balls at the same time, sending out Charmander and Squirtle respectively.

"Yes!"

As a fire-type Pokémon, Charmander is quite aggressive. After only a few minutes of separation, when he knew that he was going to fight, he immediately gave up his previous friendship with Squirtle's roommate and was ready for battle.

"Johnny!"

Squirtle was very upset to see his former partner change his face so quickly. He yelled more and more impolitely, as if he was scolding Charmander, a piece of shit.

Seeing that the contest condition of both sides was in full swing, Professor Oak announced: "The battle begins."

"Charmander, use Ember!" Orange gave the order first.

As a Trainer Rookie, Xiao Cheng had done some basic research and knew what skills Charmander had.

"Hey!" Charmander spread his arms and spit up a ball of hot sparks, which fell on Squirtle.

"Hide in the shell." Gary ordered.

Squirtle Withdraw easily blocked Ember without even taking any damage.

Reality is not a game, any attack can cause damage, and the Ember used by Xiao Cheng's Charmander is too weak to even break Squirtle's shell defense.

"What!" Xiao Cheng was a little confused, and didn't expect Squirtle to be able to block Ember.

"Your Charmander's control over the fire element is too weak, and such an Ember has a hard time boiling water." Gary complained.

"You..." Xiao Cheng said angrily: "Since Ember is useless, then Charmander should approach Squirtle and grab it."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Charmander immediately rushed towards Squirtle, without any movement, and ran straight at a speed that was neither fast nor slow.

Gary looked confident, and when Charmander was two meters away from Squirtle, he immediately ordered: "Now, Water Gun!"

"Johnny!"

Squirtle quickly stuck his head out, Spit Up a Water Gun, and hit Charmander's face directly. Charmander, who was attacked, howled and howled, as if a hot iron block was poured with cold water, and the Contest Condition plummeted.

"He didn't fall down."

" Squirtle, use Tackle to give Charmander the last blow."

Gary ordered.

"Johnny."

Squirtle rushed towards Charmander, and while Charmander was not recovered, Tackled Charmander's head and knocked him to the ground.

"Well..."

Charmander fell to the ground, his eyes spinning.

[Ding! Mission completed, rewards have been distributed to the space backpack. ]

"Charmander loses combat ability, Squirtle wins." Professor Oak also made a judgment at this moment.

"What! I... lost." Xiao Cheng couldn't accept it immediately. As a Rookie, he lost in the first Pokémon battle, which was really a blow.

After all, Xiao Cheng will get two or three badges in the future. He is a person who gives up when encountering setbacks. Judging from the level of the two gyms in Nibi City and Cerulean City, they are still at the Rookie stage.

In other words, Xiao Cheng almost gave up the Trainer path at the Rookie stage.

"Don't be too upset, after all, the person who defeated you is the future Pokémon Master." Gary still said arrogantly.

"You... wait, I will surpass you sooner or later." Xiao Cheng was furious when he heard Gary's words.

"Don't say some irrelevant words, send Charmander to the Laboratory for treatment quickly." Gary urged.

Without saying much, Xiao Cheng put Charmander back into the Poké Ball and returned to the Laboratory for treatment.

Xiao Huang did not stay any longer and set off for a trip.

...!

Gary did not rush to leave, but went to the lounge in the Laboratory.

"System, what's in the deluxe gift package?" Gary has been thinking about the things in the deluxe gift package since he got Squirtle, and now he finally has time.

[The host only needs to silently say to open the deluxe gift package. ]

"Open the deluxe gift package."

...!

[Ding! Obtained the Eye of Insight (can view the basic data of Pokémon, can view the detailed attributes of your own Pokémon.)]

[Ding! Obtained the Bronze Crown (for Pokémon below Elite potential, potential level +1) x1]

[Ding! Obtained the Silver Crown (for Pokémon below Champion potential, potential level +1) x1]

[Ding! Get low-level Rare CandyX10]

Looking at the light and shadow image that suddenly appeared in front of him, Gary asked worriedly: "Will outsiders be able to see this?"

[Host, please rest assured that everything in the system can only be seen by you. ]

"That's good..." Gary almost scared himself, he didn't want the fact that he had the system to be exposed.

"The reward is okay."

The things in the luxury gift package are quite standard, but the crown given is not bad, which can improve the potential of Pokémon.

"Let's take a look at Squirtle's data." Gary now really wants to see what his Squirtle is like.

Gary picked up the Poké Ball with Squirtle in it and checked its Attributes.

[Pokémon: Squirtle]

[Attribute: Water]

[Level: LV8]

[Potential: Elite]

[Ability: Torrent (When physical strength decreases, the power of Water Type moves increases by 1.5 times.)]

[Skills: Tackle, Tail Whip, Water Gun, Shrink Shell. ]

[Intimacy: 156 (maximum value 255)]

Sure enough, Gary was right. The Squirtle chosen by Earl Dervish has great potential and is at the Elite level.

The ability is also very good. Fortunately, it is not the Rain Pan Ability. The Rain Pan Ability is the Ability used by the Rainy Day Team. Currently, the only Pokémon that can use the Rain Pan Ability is Ludicolo.

However, Blastoise can mega evolve in the later stage. It doesn't really matter whether it is the Rain Pan Ability or not. But in the early stage, Squirtle is better to have the Torrent Ability, which is more convenient for Breeder and has more advantages in battle.
