Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 464 The Shrinking Mud Assassin!

"Squirtle, I choose you!"

Ono, who had just received his starter Pokémon, looked at Qingyuan standing opposite him and immediately threw out his only Pokémon and shouted loudly.

"Jenny!"

With a flash of red light, a Squirtle appeared on the battlefield.

Qingyuan looked at the Squirtle in the arena and couldn't help but nod.

To be fair, this kid does have some sense.

Although Squirtle has the nickname "Squirtle the Water Sprayer," in the Kanto region, anyone who uses it knows how effective it is.

Pewter City Gym is a Rock-type Gym, giving Squirtle a type advantage.

Needless to say, the Cerulean Gym could be taken over by Ono almost at will, provided Ono wasn't mentally challenged, before Misty took over the gym.

Thus, the first two dojos of the Eight Dojos were easily defeated.

After Squirtle evolves, it gains a type advantage against both the Fire-type Cinnabar Gym and the Ground-type Viridian Gym.

So, Ono is a kid with a very bright future!

Oh right, that's why Qingyuan didn't go to the Viridian Gym Leader Selection Tournament because of Giovanni's escape.

The Tokiwa Dojo is currently closed.

As expected, the Viridian Gym will likely remain closed for quite some time, especially after Ash's participation in the Rainbow Conference.

The Viridian Dojo has not yet elected its own dojo master, so Kikuko Tenno will temporarily take over.

"Since I'm Squirtle, then I am..."

Looking at the Squirtle in the arena, Qingyuan was just about to take out Shellder's Poké Ball and throw it out.

Immediately, I felt a strange movement coming from my sleeve.

"You want to fight too, you stinky mush? In that case, you'll be the one to fight this time!"

Seeing the Grimer shrinking at the cuff and looking pitifully at itself, Qingyuan smiled and took out the Grimer's Poké Ball to recall it.

Then throw it into the battlefield.

The shrunken, foul-smelling mud on the cuffs was a trump card that Qingyuan had prepared for the assassins who attacked him.

After all, he was Dama Lanqi's knife and even slashed the Clan Alliance.

Qingyuan didn't believe these vindictive fellows would just let it go.

Although he has the protective shield given to him by Mewtwo, he is completely unafraid of the opponent's attacks.

But watching the other party attack him and then leave without a trace must have made Qingyuan very unhappy.

Therefore, due to its unique shape, it can shrink to the size of an orange and become a stinky mud, thus coming into Qingyuan's sight.

Because the body is a fluid, even if the stinky mud flows down Qingyuan's sleeve onto the ground, it won't arouse suspicion.

If someone attacks him, he can simply focus all their attention on the front lines.

The combined attack of Grimer and Gengar could easily fulfill Qingyuan's decapitation order.

At that time, it doesn't matter whether the opponent is a Champion or an Elite Four trainer.

If he dares to be careless in the slightest, Qingyuan can make sure the other party leaves his life here.

"Beiduo!"

With a flash of red light, Muddy's figure appeared on the battlefield.

"Squirtle is using a water gun!"

Watching the Grimer battle, Ono shouted loudly at Squirtle.

Qingyuan is his idol. He has watched Qingyuan's battle videos countless times and knows everything about the Pokémon that Qingyuan has appeared in the Indigo League.

Grimer was not sent out at the Indigo League, which means that this is a newly captured Pokémon by Qingyuan, and Grimer's level is not very high.

He and Squirtle certainly had a chance to win.

Thinking of this, Ono's body couldn't help but tremble slightly with excitement.

The idea of ​​defeating your idol is just too enviable!

"Smell-free application reduces size!"

Looking at the situation on the battlefield, Qingyuan shouted commands to Chou Ni.

Although Grimer's level isn't high, it's more than capable of taking down a newly issued starter Pokémon.

It was simply to test a new tactic he had come up with at the Quartz Conference.

Also, in order not to shatter Ono's self-confidence, Qingyuan planned to spend more time with Ono.

After all, he had finally met his fan, even though this fan wanted to challenge him as soon as they met.

But since he's a fan after all, it's best not to overwhelm him and cause him too much harm.

"Beiduo!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Muddy, seeing Squirtle's water gun rapidly shooting towards him, yelled and quickly shrunk to the size of a large bowl, dodging Squirtle's water gun.

"Squirtle uses Water Pulse on the ground to attack Grimer!"

Watching Grimer dodge Squirtle's water gun by shrinking, Ono stood still for a moment, thought for a moment, and then loudly commanded Squirtle.

"Jenny!"

Upon hearing Ono's words, Squirtle shouted, put his hands on his waist and struck a pose like Master Roshi, and began to gather Water Pulse with great effort.

Judging from its appearance, it is clear that it is not proficient in the Water Pulse skill and finds it difficult to use it.

"Grimer observes Squirtle, jumps up, uses Shrink to dodge!"

Seeing Squirtle looking constipated, Qingyuan waved at Mud and shouted.

The skill usage speed is too slow, and Ono is too inexperienced. If it weren't for playing with the child, he would have just let Grimer use a Sludge Bomb to send Squirtle away while Ono was thinking of a countermeasure.

"Beiduo!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Mud yelled and, seizing the moment when Squirtle used Water Pulse, jumped up and shrunk, successfully dodging Squirtle's Water Pulse.

"What?! You can dodge attacks like that?!"

Watching the mud's movements in the arena, Ono shouted in disbelief.

"Tsk, you're obviously a fake fan. I've used the method of commanding Pokémon based on their own characteristics and the situation on the battlefield quite a bit at the Indigo League!"

"You're supposed to be my fan and you don't even know this? You're a fake fan!"

Looking at Ono's shocked expression, Qingyuan clicked his tongue and said to Ono.

"This one……"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Ono blushed immediately.

He watched Qingyuan's matches, focusing on his most intense and direct battles, showing he was a true battle fanatic.

Compared to Qingyuan's tactics such as substitution, poison, and magic space, Ono is more interested in Qingyuan's head-on battles.

In his view, only these battles are truly thrilling battles between trainers.

Compared to that, he felt that those tactics like magic space were somewhat hypocritical.

"Looks like today's battle will really show you the power of tactics!"

Seeing Ono's blushing face, Qingyuan, knowing that Ono wasn't interested in tactics, shook his head and said.

He's clearly a tactical master who loves studying tactics, so why would he have reckless fans who like him?
