Chapter 456: Satoshi VS Shinji, this is our bond!

Grape Academy, Battle Hall.

Shizuka wiped the sweat off her forehead, waved to Alexis and Ortega who were about to leave, and watched them walk away. As if she remembered something, she curiously asked Shinji and Mudan beside her:
"Who is the student that Mr. Luo Mu mentioned who is here to experience the course?"

Shizuka couldn't figure it out.

Which trainer could actually let Luo Mu use his power to create a rule that allows external trainers who have not yet enrolled to come in and experience the course?

What’s even more amazing is that I heard that Chairman Ye Ci approved Luo Mu’s application without even blinking an eye without even asking any questions.

This has caused Principal Clavel to become so anxious that his hair is turning white.

Because Grape College won so beautifully in the exchange battle with Blueberry College, it attracted many students who wanted to come in for trial classes, and it took a lot of effort just to screen them.

It seems like Blueberry Academy is planning to come and seek revenge soon!

Facing her question, Mudan, who looked bored, waved her hand, ignoring Flareon's tugging at her sleeves and asking for more practice, and said weakly, "It should be in the next two days."

"It seems that the opponent is a strong man who has collected eight gym badges from two regions. Maybe he is even more powerful than Nemo--"

Mudan's drawn-out tone was particularly harsh to Shinji's ears, and his expression became even more serious. Even with his temperament, he couldn't help but feel excited at this moment.

Who is this trainer who can collect eight badges from two regions, who may be stronger than Neemo, who he has no way to defeat now, and who was even brought by teacher Luo Mu himself for a trial lesson?
Shinji decided that when the time comes, he must do as Teacher Luo Mu emphasized to his brother and politely invite the other party to have a sparring match with him.

Time passed quickly.

It will soon be time for class.

There were hurried footsteps outside the fighting hall, but the three of them were already accustomed to it.

After all, their teacher has always adhered to the salty fish philosophy of "work is work, life is life" and "never waste life time to complete work unless under special circumstances."

It means he is very powerful, otherwise he wouldn't have so many privileges.

I heard that the current teacher in charge of the combat class, Huang Bo, not only only gets half of the salary that Luo Mu got before his promotion, but he also has to teach from morning to night from Monday to Friday and usually has to stay in the academy.

All that's left is paying to go to work.

Look at Teacher Luo Mu. He has two classes a week without fail, but he sometimes skips them. He is so carefree.

While the students were thinking, at the last second before class, the door of the battle hall opened with a "swish", and Luo Mu stepped into the battle hall on time.

But he is not the focus at this moment.

All three of them turned their eyes to the boy who was following closely behind him.

Shizuka looked surprised. Isn't this a child who has not yet grown out of his childishness?

The tug-of-war between Botan and Flareon stopped temporarily. She subconsciously pushed her glasses and looked at Xiaozhi carefully.

Shinji, who was originally full of expectations, frowned. Looking at Xiaozhi, who should be about the same age as him, or a little younger, he suddenly felt angry.

The strangeness of this nameless anger made him feel a little irritated, and even his calm mood was destroyed.

This was the first time he encountered such a situation. Shinji tried his best to suppress his emotions and thought silently in his heart, could it be that he and this person just didn't get along well?

I didn't pay attention to the students' meaningful looks.

Luo Mu clapped his hands and introduced everyone with a smile: "This is Xiaozhi, a trainer from Pallet Town in the Kanto region. He is currently training for the Silver Tournament that will be held soon. He will study with us during this period. Let's all get to know each other!"

"Come on, Xiaozhi, let's introduce ourselves to everyone!"

After receiving Luo Mu's signal, Xiao Zhi nodded, with the excitement he had when Luo Mu took him to visit the Grape Academy still lingering on his face.

Having experienced a lot of traveling, he was not so nervous that he was at a loss for words.

However, his self-introduction lines still retain their original flavor.

"I'm Ash from Pallet Town, and this is my partner, Pikachu. My dream is to become a Pokémon Master!"

In just a few words, Xiaozhi's character is clearly revealed.

"Pikachu, Pika Pika!"

Pikachu also cutely waved and greeted everyone.

Pikachu is at its plumpest at this time. It doesn't have the reliability it will have after losing weight, but it looks even cuter.

Shizuka covered her mouth, seemingly surprised at the grandeur of Satoshi's dream.

At the same time, she was screaming in her heart that Pikachu was so cute!

Peony remained calm, yet had a slight sense of inferiority.

but.

This inferiority complex was just because Mudan was surprised that Xiaozhi could express his dream in public.

If it were her, she would definitely dig herself into the ground out of shame.

Shinji clenched his hands.

It wasn't that he was targeting Xiaozhi on purpose, but he realized something.

It seems that I am born to be incompatible with people like Xiaozhi.

He just felt that Xiaozhi's dream was too unrealistic and could only be described as unrealistic.

Shinji knew that he didn't like this kind of person, and he probably had a conflict with Xiaozhi.

Luo Mu naturally did not miss the change in Shinji's expression.

Sure enough, there is some kind of mysterious chemical reaction between strong rivals, and sparks are about to fly so quickly.

Suddenly, a plan came to mind.

Showing a slightly sinister smile, Luo Mu clapped his hands and said straight to the point: "It's just right, to celebrate Xiaozhi's joining, let's have a tense and exciting Pokémon battle!"

"Ah, weren't we supposed to have a theory class today?"

Shizuka widened her eyes, feeling a little lost.

For someone like her who became a trainer halfway through, suddenly being involved in another field requires a lot of knowledge and common sense to supplement. What she learned as a Pokémon Nurse may be helpful to her identity as a trainer, but there are times when it is not applicable.

Actual combat can be carried out at any time. For her, she is more looking forward to learning various routines from Luo Mu.

Shizuka was completely unaware that her mind had been influenced by Chandana and Porygon.
Mudan, who wanted to slack off, also raised her hand and enthusiastically agreed with Shizuka's idea.

Luo Mu knew that based on his understanding, Mudan and Shizuka would definitely raise objections.

But this was exactly what he wanted.

If you quit, won't it be just Xiaozhi and Shinji who will have to fight?

Luo Mu felt that his mentality at this moment was a bit like Zhulan, who silently served as the leader of the CP in the animation, and was looking forward to whether there could be any sparks between them.

The encounter between life and life can give birth to something.
Stopping the nagging in his mind, Luo Mu gave a "solution" that was acceptable to all four of them.

"Then Xiaozhi and Shinji will fight first. Let me see what you are made of!"

"After the battle, let's continue with the "siege" tactics we talked about last time!"

Shizuka and Mudan breathed a sigh of relief, now they could accept it.

Xiaozhi and Shinji's eyes suddenly met.

Rather than being excited about the battle as soon as he arrived, Satoshi was probably more interested in having a lot to talk about with Nemo.

Shinji clenched the Poké Ball in his hand and snorted, "I will win the battle!"

The battle is a two-on-two singles battle. The side whose Pokémon loses its combat ability first will be considered the winner of the game.

The reason for choosing a two-on-two battle was mainly because Luo Mu took the number of Shinji's team into consideration and made a balance.

After all, Satoshi has become a trainer and has spent much more time traveling and training than Shinji. In terms of lineup, Shinji is already at a disadvantage.

Of the three Pokémon he currently owns.

The wood turtle is still a little short of evolution.

The Fire Crocodile recently evolved into the Scorching Crocodile.

There is also a baby bear that was specially captured following Luo Mu's advice.

The bear cub can hardly be used as a fighting force, so can we only fight two on two? Picking up the whistle that he would only hang around his neck during class, Luo Mu blew the whistle and said, "The battle begins, both sides release Pokémon at the same time!"

As a single-celled organism, Xiaozhi would not consider anything else at all.

At this moment, there was only one thing in his eyes——

Pokémon Battle!
He pointed at the battlefield confidently and shouted, "Pikachu, it's you!"

Shinji threw out a Poké Ball.

"Scorching Crocodile, prepare for battle!"

A chubby Pikachu and a crocodile with a steaming "egg" on its head.

When Xiaozhi saw the Scorching Crocodile, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Wow, a Pokémon I've never seen before!"

Xiaozhi subconsciously picked up the illustrated book and scanned it.

Unfortunately, his illustrated book has not yet been upgraded to a national illustrated book, and there is no information about the Scorching Crocodile at all.

This battle was intended to be a competition, so Luo Mu took the opportunity to look at Shinji.

Shinji nodded indifferently.

Maybe for Shinji in the animation, he rarely reminds his opponents, but now Shinji's experience has taken a turn and he has an indifferent attitude towards this.

He doesn't want to leave behind a reputation of winning unfairly.

Luo Mu took out his mobile phone and played a prepared audio clip.

"Scorching Crocodile, the evolved form of Crocodile. As the energy of fire and the excess vitality of Crocodile combine, an egg-shaped fireball is born on its head.

In battle, it can freely use egg-shaped fireballs as a move, and seems to have a unique talent for sound."

The three of them listened to this passage very seriously, except Xiaozhi who was still confused, which demonstrated what a poor student is.

But as an action-oriented person, Xiaozhi can't care so much. It is enough for him to know that Scorching Crocodile is a fire-type Pokémon——

As for the rest, don’t think twice and just rush in!
"Pikachu, one hundred thousand volts!"

The first move is a classic one.

Pikachu clenched his hands and began to release lightning from his electric bag with great force, blasting it straight towards the Scorching Crocodile.

The power and speed of the lightning were quite impressive. This guy was indeed a strong man who had collected eight badges. Although he looked a little silly, he had a lot of skills.

Shinji's expression became serious, and he said without hesitation: "Dig a hole!"

Avoid the enemy's attack and look for opportunities!
I don’t know how the Scorching Crocodile trained, but its short little hands dug very quickly, and one second before the 100,000 volts hit, its entire body sank into the pit.

The 100,000 volts were in vain, and although Ash and Pikachu were depressed, they were not that disappointed.

To them, it was just a normal occurrence.

Similarly, they also have some experience in digging holes.

"Pikachu, pay attention to what's going on underground!"

Xiaozhi reminded loudly.

Scorching Crocodile kept moving underground, constantly digging intricate passages, looking for opportunities to attack the vigilant Pikachu above.

Luo Mu's expression was a little stiff.

He knew that after today's battle, the site would probably have to be repaired again.

There is no problem with the warranty from Qian You Grape College, but the key is that after the repair is completed, you as the person in charge have to inspect it!

In order to avoid the risk of ground subsidence, careful inspection is necessary and no carelessness is allowed.

So annoying!
At this time, new changes appeared on the battlefield.

It seemed that Scorching Crocodile had finally found the right opportunity, and it burst out of the ground in one breath, and was about to hit Pikachu with an attack with great effect.

But Xiaozhi reacted faster and blurted out the three-word mantra.

"Get out of the way!"

As Shinji looked stunned, Pikachu dodged the attack of Crocodile by a hair's breadth with agility that didn't match its fat body, and counterattacked with a 100,000-volt bullet at Crocodile.

There was a difference in levels, but the Scorching Crocodile, which had just completed a stage of evolution, had to endure the blow head-on, and its breath instantly weakened.

Shinji gritted his teeth, silently cursing Ash's monster-like reaction speed with Pikachu's, and quickly activated the emergency plan.

"Scorching Crocodile, yawn!"

A yawn like a snot bubble rose lightly from the nose of the Scorching Crocodile and landed on Pikachu who had no support in mid-air.

As soon as Pikachu landed, a fierce feeling of sleepiness hit him directly.

It walked around in circles on the ground with weak steps, but couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.

Of course, Luo Mu would not blow the whistle badly just because of a sleeping state. Seeing his as expected expression, Shinji chose to recover without hesitation.

"be lazy!"

The Scorching Crocodile closed its eyes and took a nap. Suddenly, a green light representing recovery lit up on its body. Within just a few breaths, most of the injuries caused by Pikachu were healed.

After Crocodile fully recovered, Shinji raised the corner of his mouth with an imperceptible arc as he looked at Pikachu who was still sleeping soundly despite Xiaozhi's call.

No matter how powerful you are, you will still be restrained by your own tactics.

"Burn it all!"

Shinji chose to let the Scorching Crocodile start attacking without hesitation.

The egg-shaped fireball above Scorching Crocodile's head suddenly grew larger, broke through the air under its control, and landed directly on Pikachu, dealing an immediate heavy blow.

I don’t know if Shinji was too lucky, but even after suffering an attack, Pikachu still didn’t wake up.

Shinji sneered and ordered the Scorching Crocodile to continue its attack.

he knows.

He won the first game!
During this time, Xiaozhi continued to call out to Pikachu, trying to wake it up.

Shinji just thought Xiaozhi was naive.

Did he really think his voice could reach Pikachu's ears while his consciousness was asleep?
That won't work!

"This strike will decide the outcome. Burn it all!"

Just when Shinji was about to let the Scorching Crocodile deliver a fatal blow.

Xiaozhi's eyes widened and he shouted again: "Wake up, Pikachu!!!"

"Hmph, useless?"

Shinji was just about to say that Xiaozhi was naive, but something strange happened.

Pikachu's body covered with scars actually moved at Xiaozhi's call.

Shinji was completely confused.

No.

In order to ensure that Pikachu sleeps more soundly, I also let Scorching Crocodile insert some yawning moves in between attacks.

How did you wake up!?
But bonds are so unreasonable.

As if in response to Xiaozhi's feelings, Pikachu's scarred body suddenly lit up with a dazzling golden light.

The powerful electric current seemed to have entered an unmanned area, directly destroying the burner, and once again severely shocked the scorching crocodile.

Shinji hurriedly asked the Scorching Crocodile to dig a hole and hide underground. He no longer actively attacked, but instead looked for an opportunity to release the Yawn move again.

But at this moment, Xiaozhi shouted an order that he was completely unexpected.

"Pikachu, use Iron Tail on the field!!!"
