The Battle Begins

Charmander looked at the massive Muk with a heart full of burning battle intent.

Muk, on the other hand, was shocked that a Charmander could actually use a powerful attack of this level, and apart from finding it unbelievable, he also put away his contempt for Charmander.

This Charmander, deserved his serious attention.

However, Rope, who had seen everything just now, could not help but frown.

This Muk, it seems to be a bit weak, right?

Based on the previous battle with Brock, this Muk's energy level was probably the same as Gym Leader's ace, touching the side of an Elite Four level Pokémon. But since this was a wild side opening the door, consciously adjusted downward by half to one rank, this was also an ordinary Gym level Pokémon, definitely not weak, but still quite a bit short of what it wanted to cause that scene outside earlier.

So... there's still a mastermind behind it?

Rope scanned around with an inquisitive look, wanting to know if there were other hunters hiding in the neighborhood.

Of course Muk wouldn't stop his attack at this point. So Muk blasted over with another sludge bomb.

The purple-black sludge carried a strong poisonous energy, and the strong stench carried a huge sense of crisis.

Now Rope was finally able to understand why people didn't want to fight against Poison type Trainers or Pokémon.

There were times when this one attribute of the poison system could weaken the opponent's will to fight. In other words, it could make the opponent so disgusted that they didn't want to fight.

At this time, Rope suddenly began to admire Koga. It was rumored that when Koga was young, he would make Muk look like a cloak and then drape himself over it.

A true warrior dares to face the stench of Muk head on! Dare to face the disgustingness of Muk head on. - Lu Xin.

(Lu Xin: "Don't change my words!")

Neither Rope nor Charmander had any intention of fighting this move head-on, so they each dodged to the side.

Charmander's dodging was what Muk was trying to achieve, so he took advantage of Charmander's unsteady foothold and immediately threw a fixing spell at him. There was one thing to be said about this Muk, although he didn't have a trainer to command him nor had he received professional combat training, but having survived in the wilderness for many years, if he didn't have one or two tricks up his sleeve, he certainly wouldn't have survived until now.

It's obvious that this Muk is extremely experienced in combat and has developed his own fighting style. Such a Pokémon would normally not have a trainer who could take it in and train it. Because drawing on a blank sheet of paper was far easier than revising a doodle.

But Rope had never had any intention of taking this guy in, although he had always had the idea of taking in a Pokémon other than a Fire-type and then trying to see if his Fruit ability still worked. But he would never choose a Pokémon like Muk. It wasn't discriminatory; after all, any Koga draped in Muk could find a wife. It's just that Rope thought that the poison system might not go well with his own abilities, yeah, that's right.

"Charmander, jump upwards and Dragon Breath."

Rope commanded calmly. The current form wasn't a crisis, in the end, Pokémon that hadn't gone through formal training as trainers weren't very intimidating existences until they reached Elite Four level.

The world is so big that there are countless such Pokémon in the wild.

The purplish-red dragon's breath with flames blasted into Muk's body, and Muk felt a burning sensation and a sense of awe. The former was the nature of fire energy and the latter was the nature of dragon breath energy, but now the two energies seemed to be fused into everything, which was incredible.

Of course, don't talk common sense to the hangers-on.

Rope's luck one was relatively good, probably because the mistake of crossing over had already used up the bad luck...

After all, this situation is basically not that different from dying once on your own.

As the saying goes, if you don't die, you'll be lucky again.

That's why Muk's movements had a noticeable lag while feeling intimidated, apparently paralyzed.

I have to say that the battle between European Emperors is so plain and boring.

I just don't know when Rope will be able to quality for a double consecutive bowling...

"Charmander, Rock Slide!"

That's right, Rock Slide, Rope really didn't know whether he was strong in his own ability or Charmander's talent, or maybe the two complemented each other, it hadn't even been 3 days since he had gotten this Skill Learning Machine, and Charmander had already learned this move, and was even able to say that he was able to skillfully use this move.

This was simply unbelievable...

Charmander heard Rope's command, found a rock as a landing spot, and immediately used Rock Slide after landing. A piece of rock that looked like a fire meteor appeared in the sky above Muk, and then fell down hard, hitting Muk's body.

The flaming rocks looked like lava, like meteors, and like burning coals.

The rolling heat and tremendous impact made Muk howl in agony.

Rope wasn't about to take pity on the guy.

"Charmander, Rock Slide again!"

While Charmander used Rock Slide again, Rope rubbed his chin and thought about whether he should search for a bit of skill-learning machine, since Charmander was so talented in skill-learning, he had to fully develop (press) it.

For no reason, Charmander suddenly felt a chill, and thought that this big mess in front of him had some other cards, so he once again increased the strength of his energy output, and then the rock block, which was a circle larger than before, appeared in the sky above Muk, and then mercilessly slammed down.

Muk first howled in pain, and then, there was no sound...

Dead wasn't so bad, the odds were that he had been knocked out of the fight.

Rope wasn't sure if the guy was acting or not, and given that Muk's survivability was among the highest of all Pokémon, all he did was let Charmander get in a few more shots of Rock Slide, Ember, and Dragon's Breath as soon as his upper lip touched his lower lip. Make sure the guy was really not putting up much of a fight before he did.

Charmander obeyed and started "whipping corpse".

Rope, on the other hand, shook his head in disappointment.

This Muk is really a piece of cake. He looks so powerful, but who knows he only has two skills, sludge bomb and immobilization. After that, he probably has a skill like Body Slam or something like that.

Once it's interrupted, it can't do anything...

I can only say... trainers are really important to a Pokémon.

Rope, who originally wanted Charmander to evolve after this battle, was a bit disappointed that this Muk didn't put much pressure on Charmander at all, so it's only natural that it didn't evolve.

Forget it, it's just a matter of a few days sooner or later. There's no need to be so eager.

Rope said in his heart.

Then... the sound of high heels hitting the ground was heard...
