Chapter 41 Battle Against the Beast Master Xiaoming
After leaving the insect-catching boy, Qingyuan walked for about half an hour.
Qingyuan arrived in front of a strange building.
This is a personal dojo built with wood, and there is an LED light with the title: "Xiao Ming's Personal Dojo, currently on a 93-win streak, aiming for 100 wins."
"Is it already a 93-game winning streak?"
Seeing the winning streak displayed on the LED lights, Qingyuan's expression immediately became somewhat conflicted.
If he remembers correctly, Xiaoming was supposed to go on a trip after winning 100 consecutive games.
If he breaks their winning streak, then all their previous efforts will have been in vain.
Moreover, Xiaoming has already achieved a 93-game winning streak; he only needs to win seven more games to embark on his trip.
Breaking Xiaoming's winning streak is like kicking him back to square one just as he's about to reach the finish line.
What's more terrifying than failure is failure before success arrives.
Qingyuan stood there and thought it over carefully, and finally decided not to play it and to skip it.
After all, in the anime, the character achieved a 100-game winning streak, and it wouldn't be good for me to break that streak now.
"Does he think he can't win, so he's planning to run away?"
Just as Qingyuan turned to leave, a voice suddenly rang out from the entrance of the dojo.
Qingyuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a boy with green spiky hair, wearing a red and black T-shirt, leaning against the door and looking at him.
"Are you Xiaoming?"
Looking at the boy in front of him, Qingyuan asked with some confusion.
After all, he remembered that Xiaoming in the anime was just that arrogant.
"To me, I am Xiaoming, the Beast Tamer!"
"Are you scared and want to run away after seeing my record?"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Xiaoming raised his head and said with an arrogant expression.
"No, it's not that. I just feel it wouldn't be good to break your hard-earned winning streak!"
Hearing Xiaoming's arrogant words, Qingyuan shook his head and said with a smile.
"You're arrogant! I challenge you! I'll make you the fuel for my ninety-fourth consecutive victory!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Xiaoming immediately spoke angrily.
"It's settled then. You challenged me, so don't come crying when your hard-earned winning streak is gone!"
Qingyuan looked at Xiaoming seriously and said, after all, he didn't want to bear the bad reputation of preventing others from going on a trip.
"Don't worry, although I really want to get a hundred consecutive wins, it doesn't matter if I fail."
"This only proves that I'm not good enough and I need to keep working hard. I'm not a child who's going to cry!"
"You'd better prepare yourself to be used as fertilizer; just don't end up crying later!"
After saying that, Xiaoming turned around and went straight into the dojo.
Seeing this, Qingyuan shrugged and followed Xiaoming into the dojo.
A tall arena was placed inside the dojo, and Qingyuan and Xiaoming stood on either side of it.
"The rules of the match are one to one. Whoever's Pokémon is unable to battle first wins! Is that alright?"
As the owner of this personal dojo, Xiaoming stood on the ring and explained the rules of the competition to Qingyuan.
Seeing Qingyuan nod, Xiaoming didn't hesitate at all and immediately threw out the Poké Ball.
With a flash of red light from a Poké Ball, a sharp-eyed, robust Sandshrew appeared in the arena.
Sandshrew is a bipedal Pokémon that resembles a mouse, but it also walks on all fours when running. Its skin is yellowish-brown, hard, and dry, with brick-like patterns, making it look like a brick wall.
Although he already knew that Xiaoming's Pokémon was Sandshrew, it was the first time he had seen it.
Qingyuan took out the Pokédex and collected information about Sandshrew.
Looking at the picture book, the gray and white head of the Sandshrew lit up, and Qingyuan's collecting pleasure was slightly satisfied.
"It's you I choose, Scorpio!"
After putting away the Pokédex, Qingyuan threw out Gliscor's Poké Ball.
"Clatter!"
The moment Scorpion appeared in the arena and saw its opponent, it let out a fierce roar.
It had been watching the little fire dragon wreak havoc all the way here, and it was getting impatient.
However, because the Pokémon they encountered along the way were not very strong, Qingyuan did not release it to battle.
Do you know how devastating it is for a Pokémon that longs to battle but can only watch other Pokémon battle?
Therefore, in battle, it needs to properly vent its emotions.
"The pangolin uses its shape-shifting ability!"
Upon seeing this, Xiaoming took the lead and gave the order to the pangolin.
Upon hearing its trainer's command, Sandshrew immediately curled into a ball on the spot. A flash of white light appeared on the surface of the ball, and Qingyuan felt that Sandshrew's scales became even shinier.
"Scorpion uses mud shooting!"
Seeing this, Qingyuan did not let Scorpion stop the Sandshrew from using the Circle ability.
After all, the pangolin had already curled up, so even if Qingyuan wanted to stop it, he couldn't.
So he simply ordered Scorpio to launch an attack.
"Clatter!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's command, Scorpio did not hesitate at all and quickly condensed several clumps of brown mud around him.
Then he shot at the pangolin.
The rounded pangolin took the full force of this mud shot.
However, because the spherical shape is better at dissipating force, and the rounding also improves the pangolin's defense.
Scorpion's mud shot didn't do much damage to the pangolin; it only sent the pangolin flying.
"That's how the sand rat uses rolling!"
Perhaps all tactics involving circularity and rolling are like this.
Faced with the pangolin that had been knocked away, Xiaoming made the same choice as Xiaogang.
"Kuga!"
Upon hearing Xiaoming's command, the pangolin did not hesitate at all, using the force of the blow to send it flying to roll through the air.
However, a coincidence occurred under these circumstances.
The rapidly spinning pangolin landed directly in the wet mud created by Scorpion's mud shot.
In addition, the arena has a flat, hard surface.
The rapidly spinning pangolin landed in the wet mud and immediately slipped, losing its balance and crashing heavily to the ground.
"Perfect opportunity, Scorpio, use your acrobatics!"
"Clatter!"
Scorpion leaped into the air, its body flashing white light as it performed various high-difficulty maneuvers, charging towards the Sandshrew at an extremely fast speed.
"boom!"
"Kuga!"
A loud crash rang out, and the pangolin, which had just stood up, was knocked away by the scorpion and crashed heavily to the ground.
Unable to bear the excruciating pain, the pangolin couldn't help but let out a scream.
"A pangolin!"
Upon seeing this, Xiaoming immediately shouted in concern.
"Kuga!"
It's possible that the training Xiaoming gave the pangolin on a regular basis had an effect.
The thick-skinned pangolin survived a stunt without losing its fighting ability.
Seeing that the pangolin was in relatively good condition, Xiaoming breathed a sigh of relief.
He then said nothing, but instead lashed out with the whip in his hand.
"Snapped!"
The sound of a whip striking the ground rang out, and the pangolin, which had been standing still, suddenly sprang into motion.
Its hands turned silver-white as it charged towards the scorpion.
As Charmander's most frequently used move, Qingyuan knew that it was Metal Claw.
"Scorpion uses a combo attack!"
Seeing this, Qingyuan did not hesitate at all and immediately commanded Scorpion to use a series of attacks to counterattack.
Faced with a high-level and physically strong Pokémon like Ursaring, Qingyuan might even have Gliscor avoid it, circumventing its strength and trying to avoid close combat.
But you, a mere pangolin, think you can make me avoid your sharp edge?
Today, I'll have Scorpio teach you what close combat is all about.
