Battle Against the Fuchsia Gym

The dinner was sumptuous and very much a specialty of the Poisonous Lineage family. The Koga family's cooks did an excellent job of demonstrating their ability to turn poisonous food into non-toxic food. It was also a display of the underpinnings of the poisonous world.

Unfortunately, Rope and Whitley didn't have a very pleasant meal.

The stuff tasted good, and you really couldn't tell what it was made of just by looking at it, but that cook was telling you what it was made of on the side, and on the side, both Rope and Whitley were still quite knowledgeable. For every ingredient the cook said, Rope and Whitley would recall in their minds where it came from, how it was grown, and the strength of its toxicity...

For the first time, Rope felt that a good memory coupled with a good knowledge of the world was his downfall.

But Koga and Janine across the table ate blandly.

Janine even scowled towards Rope while eating, obviously mocking Rope.

Rope and Janine are friends, and so is Koga...

"Real - we'll go our separate ways"

Eventually, they finished eating. It did taste good by all accounts, but Rope just felt awkward, extra awkward...

Whitley on the other side of the table did the same thing, not feeling full at all. It's like... eating as if you haven't eaten...

Koga is quite calm, their family grew up eating this occasionally, and they know that their formal meals are not very much in line with normal people's tastes.

So their family's honored guests basically won't stay at home for dinner...

In fact, Koga knows that Janine also doesn't like this thing, according to the normal Janine won't follow him to receive honored guests together, after all, this kind of meal...it's really hard to step over that psychological threshold.

Then the reason why Janine stayed behind to eat together was clear...

Thinking of this, Koga also shook his head helplessly, Rope this guy is really too strange, countless girls like to go towards Rope's side.

When the Elite Four and the dojo masters were having a party together, the most interesting topics among the men would generally enter a very weird atmosphere when they talked about Rope.

They are basically all single, and only those with strict family values like Koga will get married and have children early under the family's arrangement.

And when those single dogs talked about Rope, they only had doubts, doubts and doubts...

They and Rope had also basically met each other, and no more than that, they had heard of them. After all, Kanto's circle was that big, plus Johto wasn't much bigger, and it was pretty hard for people in a circle to not have heard of each other.

Lorelei, Sabrina, Karen, and even some other female gym leaders all seemed to have a crush on this guy, if at all.

That made a bunch of old singles feel pretty insulted. They've known each other for a long time, but they've only met Rope once or twice before they're attracted to him.

It made one of them party with swords drawn...

What's even more screwed up is that Rope didn't seem to pay any attention to them yet, at that time, Rope was full of researching the nature of time and space, as well as pursuing the existence of the God of Time and Space. Of course, since Blue and Red hadn't officially become trainers at the time, he hadn't thought about going to touch base with Dialga and Palkia at the time.

At that time, he searched for various legends and relics to find Celebi's location.

Instead of finding nothing, he became more and more aware of the true legends of the world.

The myths shown to us in games and anime are naturally just the tip of the iceberg.

The real legends and relics are much more than Rope ever imagined. That's why Rope's success today is not simply due to the advantage of being a Traveler's Seer...

It's the result of hard work and talent. Of course, when it comes to myths, Rope feels a lot of pain...

The myths of Arceus and the image of Arceus just don't match up at all!

————————————

"So, three on three? I don't think you have six Pokémon yet..."

Koga tightened the gauntlet on his hand, he had put on his ninja suit and returned to his normal appearance. On the other side Whitley and Janine were just sitting in the audience, Whitley was wearing normal clothes instead. And Janine also changed into a ninja suit...

It's... this ninja suit, it doesn't seem to be the kind used for fighting...

It's... the special kind...

Forget it, can't say more, people think for themselves ...

Rope looked at Koga's serious face, and then at the coolly dressed Janine on the sidelines, Rope shook his head helplessly.

[Friend, this really can't be blamed on me... it's not my business what your daughter wears...]

"One-on-one it is... the little kids can just watch from the sidelines."

Rope said weakly. He didn't have the idea of testing his family's little ones, after all, the melee the little ones had just fought was still fought to his satisfaction, there was no need to make things difficult for the little ones.

"Come on out, little ones."

Rope released the little ones, Chimchar, Charmeleon, and Growlithe all came out and then without waiting for Rope to speak lined up in Whitley's direction.

It looked like the three militants had had enough of fighting, at least they probably wouldn't be getting into any more trouble easily for a day or two...

Whitley looked at the well-behaved little ones sitting or lying down with a wide smile on his face.

"Are you still not considering evolving Charmeleon and Growlithe???"

Koga looked at those two little ones, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, the foundation is not this tamped down, people's foundation is cement, are you planning to use iron to make a foundation?

Rope was also helpless, "I also want to, but that Charmeleon guy is suppressing himself, after all, as you know, Charmeleon in this state, the more he accumulates and evolves, the stronger he will be, good thing he hasn't reached his limit yet..."

"That can only mean that your Charmeleon's talent is really good." Koga also said with quite a sigh...

"I can't deny that, Growlithe, I haven't had time to find a proper Fire Stone lately one, at least a Perfect Fire Stone..."

Rope shrugged his shoulders He said, he didn't want to settle, but perfect Fire Stone wasn't that easy to find, in the end this was a rare resource. Even the major clans, and even League's internal stockpile didn't always have much.

"This is something I really can't help you with, if our family has a few perfect Moon Stone and Dusk Stone, Fire Stone is really not tuned."

Koga thought for a moment, then said.

"It's fine, I'll turn back to Steven, it's different from you guys, you're the ones who have tuned it for use, he's the one who's looking for a collection so he should have quite a few of both..."

Rope said faintly. When he said that, Koga had nothing to say...anyone can compare to the Stone family? Don't look at the number of Kanto families, but a family that can rely on the Devon Corporation like the Stone family and control the economic lifelines of the entire Hoenn is not something that can be compared to this kind of family in the Kanto region where the results of the inwardly rolled raising compulsion have not yet come out.

They don't know Steven very well either... after all, while Steven doesn't care if his friends are rich or not, because basically none of them are as rich as Steven, you have to have a stone to knock on the door...

As long as you have a valuable enough stone, you're a good friend to Stone and his son...

Rope of course is friends with Steven and the others, don't ask, ask is that the stones in the World Tree are really precious.

Then with Rope's social skills, after having a knock on the door, naturally it is also very easy to become good friends with Steven, although it can't be as heartfelt as with Blue and Red, but we sit together to drink tea and chat and joke around is still no problem.

Buying a Perfect Fire Stone is also naturally no problem

"Forget it, you don't need me to worry about it, come on, start sparring!"

Saying that, Koga pulled out his Pokéball, "Come on out, Crobat!"

"Screech~"

A purple four-winged bat flew out of the Pokéball hovering in the air, staring at Rope, seemingly ready to swoop down and inject its venom into the body of the brat in front of it at any moment.

"Tch, that's pretty rude...Koga should you still teach your Pokémon not to harbor such hostility towards any of their opponents."

Rope also sighed as he looked at the purple and somewhat translucent Crobat, although this Crobat's temper was terrible, one look showed that this guy was really strong. And the toxicity was definitely not something that could be compared to an ordinary Crobat.

It was evident that Koga's title as an expert in the poison system really wasn't just for nothing.

"As long as we stand on opposite sides of the arena, you and I are enemies, ninja, and there's no need to be polite to our enemies. Killing your opponent by any means necessary, that's the greatest respect for your opponent!"

Koga had clearly entered a fighting stance, his face was serious, his eyes flashed dangerously, and his hand fumbled continuously at his waist. Obviously fumbling for his concealed weapon.

Fortunately, Koga knew that this battle was a normal regular battle, and had put everything away in advance, or else Rope would now be commanding a Pokémon battle while dodging Koga's hidden weapons...

What, Rope doesn't have to dodge? That's okay then...

Also, to play with no rules, the last Gold is the next Koga...

Whoever plays with no rules outside of Rope has no brain...

Rope shrugged helplessly, and then removed Entei's Pokéball from his waist. "Come out Entei!"

"Roar!!!"

With a roar from Entei, a wave of crimson flame had erupted as Entei stomped on the ground, and Entei looked up at Crobat with a cold glare.

Crobat only felt a desire to kneel down and submit welling up in his heart, if not for the fact that his master was still on the sidelines, coupled with a still-firm will, I'm afraid that by now Crobat would have already landed on the ground and submitted...

"Screech!!!"

Crobat looked at Entei warily, not daring to be careless.

And Entei, seeing that the pressure was fruitless, simply went straight for it.

Red-colored flames coalesced in his mouth, and he raised his head to blast a Flamethrower.

And at the same time, Entei's body flame armor also attached once again, the flame wings vibrated, and Entei flew up into the sky...

Crobat managed to dodge the Flamethrower that had a ridiculously large range, and then saw Entei flying up...

It felt even stranger all of a sudden... No, where did this Where did the wings come from? It clearly wasn't there just now!

Koga's face naturally looks even weirder. Seriously, he had heard of Entei's legend, so... he still knew about the fact that Entei could fly or not...

He had kinda been told by others before that Rope could make Entei have some special changes. But after all, he was arranging for the civilian retreat when the big event happened, and didn't confront the Legendary Pokémon head-on, so he hadn't seen Rope's Entei's changes before...

"Sure enough, a hundred times is better than one... "

Koga was a bit flabbergasted as he looked at the Entei in the sky with a significantly more powerful aura.

This ability of Rope's was just too outrageous. Of all the known psychics, Power of Viridian, Power of Aura and psychic were psychics that could guarantee their own battle power and strengthen Pokémon, but none of them had the ability to change Pokémon's form... Moreover, Entei's current state gave off the impression of being like it's evolved...

But Entei can't evolve...

[Can this ability be inherited????]

Koga looked at his daughter and had a different thought. Then he shook his head fiercely... Grandma, you can't sell your daughter...

"Crobat, Double Team!!! Venoshock!!!"

Koga ordered decisively.

Crobat's reaction was also quick, a white light flashed on him, then a flurry of white mist exploded in the surrounding space, and a single Crobat appeared in the surroundings. And there was purple venom brewing in the mouth of each one.

Entei and Rope could both tell that the Crobat in front of them were all fake bodies, and the real ones had gone to ambush somewhere by now. But the Venoshock in the mouths of these dozens of Crobat in front of them was no fake.

These fake bodies can only use their skills once, Koga is trying to trap Entei here with venom, don't get poisoned you have to honestly use your defense skills to take this move down... and so can't be bothered to go and look for the real body that has gone who knows where...

This is a trap...

"Entei, Protect!"

Rope wasn't stupid, although of the two choices of getting hit by the venom and taking the sneak attack, the more terrifying one was obviously the latter.

But just rushing out to find the real body is still easy to lose, it is better to honestly stay in the same place, soldiers to block, water to cover the earth. This was the best choice in Rope's concept, after all, Entei's flame armor was not a vegetarian.

A green spherical shield appeared around Entei's body, and dozens of Venoshock shots were blocked from the Protect skill's shield.

A moment later, the Protect shield collapsed, and those Crobat's Double Teams shattered as well. And just at the moment of shattering, a Crobat closest to Entei just rushed forward.

"Cross Poison!" Koga's face showed a smile, this is their ninja, false and real, one hit...

Rope's eyes flashed through a trace of amazement, the Crobat was actually right in front of him, but he actually kept his energy fluctuations like a doppelganger! But he actually kept his energy fluctuations as if he were a doppelganger...

But it's still too naive to sneak attack Entei just like that...

"Entei, Flame Charge, head-on collision!"
