Chapter 187 How about it? Do you want a job? (4K)
Even Roentgen and Dragonite were not expecting the appearance of Moltres. Dragonite paused and looked at Luo Mu hesitantly.
Moltres has taken my spot, should I still fight?
Luo Mu was silent for a moment, and looked into Moltres's fighting gaze, and a guess emerged in his mind.
Is Moltres planning to go into battle? Luo Mu felt from Moltres that it seemed to have made a certain decision.
As if aware of Luo Mu's psychological activities, Moltres, with its back to Luo Mu, nodded slightly.
At this time, Lei Si's uncalm voice sounded: "Luo Mu, it is..."
Luo Mu, who felt the burning fighting spirit of the Moltres, blurted out: "It's Moltres, and it wants to fight. Lei Si, are you willing to fight it?"
"Yes! Please, please, let me fight Moltres, please!"
Usually in Shinji's eyes, Reiji is gentle, calm and wise, but now he reveals a side of him that Shinji doesn't understand at all.
It is expectation, longing, and the desire to climb to the top.
Dragonite has been forgotten by Raiji, and now he only wants to have a battle with this living legend!
Lei Si felt that other trainers would make the same choice.
After hearing Lei Si's words, the big-tailed raccoon turned around and looked at Lei Si, his face full of shock.
You want me to fight it?
The Moltres was emitting such heat that it felt like it would explode at the mere sight of it, and the pressure from its superior made it feel a little numb.
At least that Dragonite looked honest and harmless, and he had specially trained ice-type moves. Raccoon felt that it was more reasonable to fight Dragonite than Moltres.
The battle started with the consent of both parties, and Shinji acted as the referee. He kept his eyes on Reiji and Raccoon, hoping that they could defeat the Pokémon called Moltres.
"Break the water flow!" Lei Si gave the order calmly. In short, he had to test the strength of Moltres first.
As a Pokémon that lives by the water, Raccoon also has a high affinity for water-attribute energy and moves. Its body is entangled in the violently flowing water, and it charges towards Moltres with an unstoppable momentum.
Luo Mu's way of commanding Moltres is different again. He plans to make full use of Moltres's abundant energy and physical strength.
"Sunny day!"
Both parties issued orders at the same time, and then it would depend on who had faster attack speed.
"Wow!!"
Moltres let out a high-pitched cry to the sky, and the already clear sky shone with strong sunlight. At this time, the raccoon also sprinted in front of Moltres and crashed into it.
"not good!"
Lei Si's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that he was in trouble.
Under sunny weather, water energy will become inactive and its power will be greatly weakened, so the Moltres got the first move!
sizzle-
Steam immediately rose from the place where the two sides came into contact. The attack by Torafi, which should have been extremely effective, was weakened by more than half due to the sunny day and the temperature of Moltres' body surface, leaving only a collision with decent force.
But Moltres didn't take this power seriously at all.
Luo Mu's voice came at the right time. He was in a strange mood at this moment. He didn't expect that one day he would be commanding Moltres to fight against other trainers: "Heatwind!"
Unlike Dragonite's controlled and gentle hot air that dries hair, Moltres' hot air is explosive and full of the smell of gunpowder. It flaps its wings, and the terrifying heat wave blows the stunned raccoon away, leaving it covered with burn marks all over its body.
The raccoon didn't even have time to fight back and fell directly to the ground, losing his ability to fight.
One hit. Kill instantly!
Lei Si and Shinji were immediately shocked. They didn't expect the difference in power to be so huge.
Luo Mu raised his eyebrows, not surprised by this result.
Moltres has been eating and drinking well on the farm every day and has become fat. Some time ago, Frog King competed with it for the weather, and Swampert practiced with it. Its strength is much higher than when it was first caught by Roentgen and the others.
The big-tailed raccoon is indeed not a threat to Moltres.
"Come back, Big Tail Raccoon. Thank you for your hard work."
Lei Si retracted the raccoon, and his voice was tinged with guilt. If he chose to test with long-range moves, would the raccoon have a chance to react and avoid Moltres's hot wind?
Taking out the second Poké Ball, Lei Si threw it, and the dazzling red light gathered into a yellow Pokémon.
"This is a friend I captured in the Johto region. I'm counting on you, Electric Dragon!"
Lei Si looked at Luo Mu and Moltres, the fire of fighting spirit still burning. This time he decided to go all out and release the long-range special attack moves that the Electric Dragon was good at from the start.
"thunder!"
A huge amount of electricity gathered on the black and yellow striped horns on the dragon's head, which seemed to have not yet grown out. It crackled and then turned into a huge bolt of lightning, rushing towards the Moltres with a roar.
This time, Moltres moved. It spread its wings and chose to avoid the lightning dragon's thunder. It displayed a masterful flying posture in the air and easily avoided the lightning dragon's thunder.
"It's not over yet, keep thundering and make it run for its life!"
Lei Si showed a look of joy. In his opinion, Moltres' choice to avoid thunder must mean that Moltres did not dare to take on the thunder like it did when it took on the water burst just now.
The legend is not invincible, he still has a chance to win!
Mighty thunder and lightning broke through the air, and the roar was endless.
Although it was dodging lightning with a gorgeous aerial dance, Moltres didn't take Dragonite's thunder too seriously.
Not to mention comparing with RoentgenCat, even the violent thunder sea that Dragonite used to defeat him was far superior to Electric Dragonite.
Moltres suddenly braked in mid-air, turned around and rushed directly towards Erectile Dash.
Luo Mu's second order also arrived: "Brave Bird Attack!"
The blue flames gathered into the shadow of a divine bird, and the Moltres flew towards the Thunder Dragon at a low altitude like an eagle soaring into the sky. The Thunder Dragon, who was carefully controlling the thunder, had no time to react and was knocked far away, falling to the ground unconscious.
It’s still a one-hit kill!
Shinji grabbed his trembling right arm with his left hand, telling his brother that there was still a chance. Skullcaptode gave him a worried look and took a few steps back. The feeling brought by the Moltres was too terrifying for it.
Lei Si silently retracted the electric dragon. He felt that his thoughts were completely seen through by the other party. The two short commands hit him directly in the vital points. Is Luo Mu really just an ordinary farmer?
"Please, Rumble Rock!"
Lei Si sent out his companion Rhydon, whom he had conquered in the Kanto region. However, despite its overall advantage in attributes, Rhydon was overheated by Moltres's powerful jet of flames, and its rocky body was burned red, emitting heat that slightly distorted the air.
After defeating three of Lei Si's Pokémon in a row, Luo Mu frowned slightly.
His memory of the character of Reiji was not very clear. He only knew that he failed in his future challenge to the pioneer leader Kamishiro in the battle pyramid in the battle frontier area, so Shinji's Pokémon training became extreme.
Originally he didn't know the reason why Lei Si lost to Shen Dai, but now he has a vague understanding.
Lei Si's fighting style is too stable. He only pursues the safest way of fighting and wants to win by trying not to make mistakes. He doesn't have any characteristics at all.
Just like an ordinary trainer that can be seen everywhere.
Raiji's fourth Pokémon was Voracious, which he captured in the Hoenn region. He wanted to use the poison to gain an advantage, but he found in despair that the poison was burned by the scorching heat waves around Moltres before it got close to it, leaving only an unpleasant stench in the air.
Devouring beast, defeated!
When sending out the fifth Pokémon, Rei's expression had become visibly ugly. The fifth Pokémon was Mookaur, which was considered one of Rei's strongest main forces, second only to his Dragonite.
Such a start of Mk'Karma did show impressive results. Its long-trained flying skills tricked Moltres several times, which used to fly only by feeling.
But after the battle with Swampert, Moltres' flying skills have made great progress, although not as good as Dragonite's. After adapting to Moxie's aerial maneuvers, Moltres's Flare Charge easily caught up with Moxie, turning it into a ball of burning flame and falling.
Reiss mechanically took back Mook-Hawk and then mechanically sent out Dragonite. This battle was even more frustrating for him than the one at the Trainer Beach.
At that time, Dragonite defeated him by relying on its hard power, and Lei Si's several commands also resolved the crisis brought by Dragonite. This made him secretly happy when he looked back later that he might have the illusion that he might compete with Dragonite again.
But the Moltres under Luo Mu's command was like an insurmountable wall. Not only was Lei Si unable to break through it, but more than half of his troops were also lost.
This feeling and perception made Lei Si uncomfortable, because he knew that Luo Mu's personal ability as a trainer completely crushed him.
This was something he had never experienced on the stage of the League Conference. Even the winner of the League Conference at that time did not give him this feeling of powerlessness.
At this moment, a beam of light shone into Lei Si's silent world.
Shinji's eyes were slightly red. He had never been so emotional before, but at this moment he just wanted to shout: "Brother, Dragon King Scorpion, come on!!!"
"Shinji."
Lei Si was startled, and his chaotic mood calmed down rarely.
Luo Mu looked at the two brothers with a strange expression. Why did he feel that Lei Si and Dragon King Scorpion would rush up shouting about friendship and bond and explode to fight against him, the big devil?
But miracles don't come easily. Although Lei Si calmed down and commanded King Scorpion to fight meticulously, it was useless in the face of Moltres' absolute power.
Rai Si and King Scorpion tried their best to find an opportunity, and when they used the cross poison blades to attack Moltres' back, which was exposed in a moment of gap, a fierce flame burst out from Moltres.
Overheating, originally translated as burning out, is Moltres's trump card move.
Like a volcanic eruption, the flames that shot up into the sky burned half of the sky red. This was a powerful move that even Moltres could not escape the price of. It was a strongest attack that was released at the cost of burning energy.
The Dragon King Scorpion was unable to stop it and was instantly swallowed up by the golden-red flames that could burn mountains and boil seas.
Dragonite, who was watching the game in the back row, was stunned for a moment, because Moltres's growth seemed to be beyond its imagination. Is this the legendary Pokémon's unique talent?
The flames gradually went out under the heavy rain brought down by Dragonite. Lei Si declined the umbrella handed to him by Luo Mu. Standing under the rain, he was soaked all over and looked miserable.
With a worried look on his face, Shinji wanted to hold an umbrella for Lei Si, but due to his lack of height, the umbrella could not be lifted above Lei Si's head. He could only sweat anxiously under the rain.
Luo Mu had already called upon Flower Healing Ring to treat the six Pokémon that had lost their ability to fight of Lei Si. He did not step forward to enlighten Lei Si because the other party did not need it at all.
After all, in the last round, Lei Si still made some changes, and this change may lead his future to an unknown path.
Lei Si, whose body was constantly hit by the heavy rain, did not feel depressed. On the contrary, he was more awake than ever before.
Just because he realized that he was missing a piece of the puzzle, he was evolving under this heavy rain.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."
Suddenly, Lei Si laughed heartily.
Shinji was startled by the sudden laughter, and a somewhat outrageous guess emerged in his mind.
Had his brother become insane because of the defeat?
Lei Si laughed as he took the umbrella from Shinji and came to Luo Mu's side. He looked at his Pokémon receiving treatment from the cute little Flower Therapy Ring, and his smile faded as he said gratefully, "Thank you for treating them."
Luo Mu nodded indifferently and said, "It's just a piece of cake. Have you figured it out?"
Lei Si replied: "I have a rough idea of it, but it still needs polishing."
Shinji, who followed them, heard the conversation between the two and looked confused. What were they talking about?
Lei Si touched Shinji's hair, and his wet hand soon made Shinji's hair droop down, which attracted Shinji's dissatisfied look.
Lei Si smiled again and looked at Luo Mu with obvious respect in his eyes: "Luo Mu, what do you think were my shortcomings before?"
Luo Mu pondered and said, "It's too ordinary. Fighting step by step is stable, but when facing an opponent of the same level or stronger, you will only lose without any chance to fight back."
"On the contrary, I really like the way you play with the Dragon King Scorpion. You are aggressive but calm, and you look for opportunities carefully. It's very good."
"Haha, as expected." Lei Si raised his lips. His guess was correct. Moltres obviously had the power to kill his Pokémon in one second, so why did Luo Mu still command Moltres to feed him moves? "You are like a teacher. Thank you for your guidance."
Luo Mu gave him a strange look and said casually: "I am the teacher, and I am still teaching at Orange College."
Without waiting for the stunned Shinji and Leisi to say anything, Luo Mu came to Moltres and watched the rain clouds gradually dispersing.
Under the approving and welcoming gazes of Roentgen Cat and Dragonite, Luo Mu took out an ownerless Poké Ball and asked with a smile: "I have commanded you to participate in the battle. How about it? Do you want a group?"
The Moltres, which was cleaning its feathers that were covered with dust from the battle, paused. It didn't expect that it was Luo Mu who took the initiative to propose it.
But after eating that piece of cake, I had already made up my mind, right?
In the balance of Moltres' heart, freedom is completely overwhelmed by restraints.
Volcanoes all over the world were once its home, and its mood was as lonely and boiling as the lonely volcano.
Now, in an unexpected turn of events, it has found its own destination.
There are delicious food, great children who are not related to him by blood, and humans and companions who are waiting for him very well.
Moltres did not hesitate, and reverently lowered its head with a burning flaming crown and placed it on the red and white painted Poké Ball.
It thought that this choice would definitely not be wrong.
Happy New Year's Eve!
