Chapter 43 Nimo's First Battle

Papa was startled when Luo Mu called him. He looked left and right, not knowing how he was discovered. However, Luo Mu's eyes were clearly looking towards the place where he was temporarily hiding.

After hesitating for a moment, Papa moved towards Luo Mu and Nimo with a conflicted look on his face.

Seeing his expression, Luo Mu knew that he was still struggling with what happened before, and immediately complained in his heart: "What a weird kid."

Nimo was in stark contrast to Piper. She observed Piper for a moment, then immediately remembered who this person was. She waved to Piper with full energy and said, "Isn't this Piper from Class G?"

"You are..." When her name was called, Piper raised her head and looked at Nemo for a long time before she said uncertainly, "Nemo from Class A?"

Nimo put her hands on her hips and said, "Didn't we have a few classes together before? How come you can't recognize each other so quickly?"

Piper complained, "No. It's strange that I could recognize you after you've changed so much!"

Papa remembered that before the holiday, Nimo gave him the impression of a cute girl with twin ponytails from the class next door. There was a world of difference between her and now, except that her skin was still as fair as ever, but her whole body exuded a sparkling feeling.

How should I put it? It's a feeling of suddenly becoming a little more mature from a naive child.

Nimo pursed her lips and whispered, "The teacher clearly recognized me at first sight."

"Did you just say that?" Pepper pricked up her ears, as if she didn't hear clearly Nemo's whispered mumbling.

At this time, a pair of hands pressed on the shoulders of the two men. Luo Mu looked at the empty battlefield next to the playground and said, "Aren't we going to fight? There's a spot over there."

Luo Mu stood on the left side of the field and shouted to Nimo on the other side: "The rules of the battle are a one-on-one singles battle. Is that okay?"

Nimo nodded heavily: "No problem!"

Piper, who was standing in the middle, looked a little listless.

Not only because Luo Mu treated me like nothing had happened, which made me look like a fool after struggling for so long, but also because of my current job.
Piper complained: "It's just a sparring match. It doesn't matter if there is a referee or not."

"The sense of ritual is also important." Luo Mu shouted to Piper, then looked at Nemo and said, "Can you fight my Growlithe?"

Hearing Luo Mu calling him, the bored Caterpillar that was lying on the ground suddenly jumped up and ran onto the field in a few steps.

"This is... a Growlithe?" Nemo blinked, and felt that this Growlithe was very different from her impression of it. However, this did not prevent her from sending Buddy to confront the Growlithe with great enthusiasm.

Luo Mu spread his hands and said, "You go first."

Nimo nodded, her heartbeat gradually quickening. Miraculously, she was not nervous at all, only a surge of passion surged in her heart.

With a serious look, Nimo waved her hand and said, "Electric shock!"

Bu Bo closed his eyes tightly and exerted strength with his whole body. The electric sac on his cheek first flashed a few weak sparks, and after a few breaths, a thin beam of golden electric current burst out.

Not only the nearly three or four second pre-swing, but also the tightly closed eyes, every bit of it tells us that Nemo is still a complete rookie.

Luo Mu said the two-word truth without changing his expression: "Get out of the way."

Caterpie took a step and slightly turned his body to the side, easily avoiding the electric shock that was not quite accurate. If the electric current itself was not extremely fast, this electric shock would be no different from slow motion for Caterpie.

Although the attack missed, Nemo was not discouraged. She immediately commanded Bubba to use the Lightning Flash move, and rushed towards Growlithe with white light all around him.

"Bear it and howl loudly." Luo Mu said.

As a rock-type Pokémon, Growlithe is more than capable of withstanding Bud's attack.

Bubo bumped into the igneous rock mane of the Caterpillar, knocking the Caterpillar's body back half a meter.

The Caterpie ignored Bubo's attack. Its eyes hidden under its fur flashed a gleam of light, and it raised its head and howled to the sky.

The next moment, the faint red light of enhanced power enveloped Growlithe. Facing the Bubble that was rushing towards it again, Growlithe gathered all its strength and charged forward!
"cloth!"

Bu Bo only felt a dull pain coming from the collision, and then he was knocked headfirst by the Growlithe, his body flying backwards uncontrollably.

Bu Bo fell to the ground, and his originally shiny orange hair was covered with a lot of dust, making him look a little disheveled.

"Budo!" Nemo covered her mouth and cried out in worry. Bubo struggled to get up and called out to Nemo a few times in a defiant manner, as if telling her not to worry and that he still had the strength to fight.

Nemo seemed to be naturally adapted to fighting. She nodded heavily, her face full of seriousness, and said loudly: "To prove our strength to the teacher, let's use the Sonic Fist on Growlithe!"

Nimo recalled that when her father gave Bu Bo to her, he specifically emphasized the specialness of Bu Bo.

Its characteristic is "Iron Fist", which can enhance the power of boxing moves. At the same time, after Bud hatched from the Pokémon egg, it learned "Sonic Fist". The combination of the two can be called the strongest means of attack for Nemo and Bud.

Bu Bo tried hard to stand up on its hind legs. Its cute eyes became sharp and its puffy hands clenched into fists. White light suddenly filled its fists.

Bu Bo sprinted in front of Growlithe, with gusts of wind wrapped around his fist, and quickly punched Growlithe!
Caterpie was enduring Bubo's rapid punches. Even though its body was very tough, it still felt the pain from the extremely effective attack.

Luo Mu's eyes lit up slightly. In the battle with Nimo, he had been in a state of countering each move. His purpose was to see how much fighting power Nimo and Bu Bo could show.

The conclusion was very encouraging. Although their command and awareness were still immature, Luo Mu could already see the talents in them.

The conclusion has been reached, so there is no need to hold back from now on.

Among the moves that Growlithe currently has, there are two that can counter Bubble.

There are two types: the egg move "Double-Edged Headbutt" and the naturally realized move "Flame Wheel".

Considering that Growlithe was only three days old, the double-edged headbutt would not only put a heavy burden on its body, but it would also easily cause Bubble to fall into a state of serious injury. Luo Mu made a quick decision and said, "Growlithe, use the Flame Wheel to counterattack!"

Under the attack from Bubo, Growlithe quickly curled up its body into a wheel shape, and flames covered its entire body.

Bubble was burned by the flames and stopped attacking involuntarily. At this time, Growlithe's Flame Wheel had also completed charging, and the high-speed rotating Flame Wheel directly knocked Bubble away!
