Cascade Badge, Get!

Looking at Growlithe, who was panting but full of pleasure, Rope bristled.

He knew that Growlithe was planning to go down to bait the enemy, and he also knew that Growlithe was planning to use his own method to deal the biggest blow to Poliwrath at his most agitated moment, and he also knew that Growlithe's tawdry idea was to avenge Charmeleon's 'death'.

But Rope was really not expecting Growlithe to actually use the revenge trick.

Speaking of which, Rope would rarely use this move in command. Because it wasn't easy for either Charmeleon or Entei to lose their ability to fight. That's why Growlithe basically didn't have many chances to use this revenge move since he learned it.

And this time... Growlithe used it with such ease, and even took advantage of the double damage to directly hit Poliwrath in a way that he couldn't get up again.

Poliwrath's eyes in the pool of water turned into circles and floated silently to the surface.

Misty was silent as she took him back into the ball.

She couldn't say what Poliwrath did was wrong. After all, that Growlithe didn't look too smart, who knew it could be so vicious.

Selling its own brokenness directly to the enemy, then attracting the opponent's attack, and then following up with the opportunity to kill it with a single blow.

Such a Pokémon was ruthless to itself and even more ruthless to its enemies.

That's why Misty couldn't figure out where Rope got these two Pokémon from. The talent, the temperament, all of them were superior. As far as Misty knew, Rope didn't receive any help from Professor Oak or anyone else. These two Pokémon were also taken in by him...

This guy... is really a standard European Emporer...

Misty looked at Rope with a complicated look in her eyes.Rope wasn't a so-called grassroots trainer. Rope's background was even bigger than hers as the current controller of the old Gym Leader family.

Even Red and Blue had both received newbie Pokémon handpicked by Professor Oak.These were resources given by their elders.

But Rope didn't take it...

He didn't let Professor Oak pick new Pokémon for him, he chose to take them himself.

Of course, Rope is a Pokémon Professor, so even without Professor Oak, he can still use his position and power to get a powerful rookie Pokémon.When a Pokémon Professor wants to choose a rookie Pokémon for himself, League will open up all of its breeding bases and let him pick one. open for their selection.

But Rope doesn't use his power either.

He was like a true grassroots trainer, roaming the forest, taking in, and progressing.

Misty had also heard about Rope's firebombing of the home of the Viridian City Mayor. But Rope still only utilized the convenience of his status to the bare minimum.

This guy...

Misty looked at Rope with complicated eyes. She had never really looked at Rope squarely before. Or rather, it was true that a Pokémon researcher was important, but the trainer's inner arrogance made them harbor the most instinctive contempt for Rope, who was a researcher by birth.

But not after today, Misty.

Rope is a trainer destined for greatness.

The same as Red and Blue... a trainer at the top.

On the other side of the room, Rope rubbed Growlithe's head hard and gave him an angry look.

Growlithe shook his head, then stuck out his tongue and licked the back of Rope's hand, wagging his tail and giving a big smile.

Rope gave him a blank stare and shook his head, then looked up and opened his mouth towards Daisy's side and asked, "Ms. Daisy! The announcement can be made."

Daisy, who was shocked by the shocking reversal of this matchup, then reacted with a worried glance at her own little sister, who had a complicated look on her face, before raising her flag and saying, "Poliwrath is unable to battle, challengee Misty please replace your Pokémon!"

Misty put Poliwrath's Pokéball to her waist and then threw Gyarados' Pokéball straight up.

She could lose, and she could afford to lose, but she couldn't admit defeat. She was going to use this defeat to make herself remember... Trainers, if you don't advance, you fall back. Geniuses are born at any time, and if you're not prepared, then you're going to be stomped on by newcomers to get to the top...

Misty never wanted to have her head stepped on again.

"Gyarados, show him what a hurricane is like!"

As Misty yells, Gyarados increases the intensity of his Rain Dance, and the fur quickly turns into a downpour.Rope smiles and doesn't make a sound.

Growlithe's fur was already wet from the rain, but he was still glaring at Gyarados, ready to attack.

Gyarados growled once more after Rain Dance was done then a water cannon came towards Growlithe.

"Flame Wheel, forward, into the water."

Rope ordered calmly. True, Charmeleon had to roll around on one of the small platforms on the pool in terms of dodging space since she couldn't get into the water. But Growlithe was a different story, and the guy was playing doggy paddle for six. So Rope was able to let Growlithe dodge with confidence and boldness.

It could only be said that Growlithe's execution was great, and his proficiency with the Flame Wheel move was already at an advanced level. It took less than a second to build up momentum, and then quickly dashed into the water...

It looks like it's still excited...

So it was true that the dog himself liked the water?

Rope scratched his head, not knowing what to say for a moment...

"Gyarados, Aqua Tail, show him that the water is our home turf!"

Misty's commanding voice came through, and then Gyarados very quickly threw an Aqua Tail directly in Growlithe's direction.

As a result, Growlithe didn't even need Rope's command this time, he immediately took a deep breath and dived into the water, then easily dodged the move, and then continued on towards Gyarados' position.

Rope just shrugged his shoulders when he saw this, Growlithe's autonomous reaction was the same as Rope's command. So many times, directing Growlithe's fights allowed Rope to be lazy.

Soon enough, Growlithe had swum up to Gyarados and then mounted a small platform nearby, and Gyarados was pissed. This guy wasn't engaging Gyarados head on at all, and was even more annoying than just fighting that Charmeleon. That Charmeleon was a brave warrior, at least.

This Growlithe was a bitch!

Growlithe didn't care what Gyarados thought, he dodged Gyarados' Water Gun with a light jump, and then blasted a Flamethrower, which was slightly smaller than the Charmeleon.

Gyarados had suffered from this move before...

He subconsciously tried to dodge. Misty knew that Gyarados couldn't take another Flamethrower.

"Gyarados, get out of the way!"

Gyarados moved quickly and immediately dived into the water.

As a result, Flamethrower's flame wave quickly disappeared.Growlithe stood still, his body covered in flames blazing.

Misty instinctively realized that it was not good.

"Gyarados, Outrage! interrupt this guy's move!"

Gyarados leapt out from under the water in a flash, then unleashed Outrage in the air, his scales standing up like knives and his eyes bloodshot, as if he was going to choose someone to devour.

Unfortunately, it was still too late.

Growlithe, who was burning with flames as if he was a hell demon dog, roared and collided head-on with Gyarados.

Then, it sent Gyarados, who was already injured and weak, flying.

The sound of water clattered. Gyarados, who had lost his ability to fight, fainted in the pool.

Misty collected him in silence. Then pulled a badge out of his own pants pocket and threw it towards Rope's face.

Rope catches it easily, then struts around in a classic Ash pose.

"Cascade Badge!!! get!!!"

Misty looked at the chuunibyo guy, powerlessly holding her forehead.

"How could I lose to this guy..."
