Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Mr. Gunten’s previous battle

"If you fight against the Gym Master, it's three Pokémon against three Pokémon."

"You need to win all three rounds, how far can Mr. Gunten go?"

Riolu raised his head and looked at the old man beside him who seemed to have lost his fighting spirit.

"me……"

"Actually, once, I won two out of three games..."

Mr. Gunten stretched out his hand and touched the head of the two-tailed monster beside him.

The two-tailed monster moved its body obediently, and its two tails hugged Mr. Gunten's legs tightly.

It seems that their relationship is indeed very good.

"...The Pokémon I was using back then wasn't the Two-Tailed Hand..."

Mr. Gunten's eyes showed the look of memory again:
"The first Pokémon I owned was more than 60 years ago."

"The lifespan of Pokémon is not too long compared to that of humans-at least the common Pokémon is like this."

"...my first Pokémon was..."

"Forget it, let's not mention him..."

"Let's talk about the time I almost got the gym badge."

Mr. Gunten sat down, now that the battle in the ring is over, it's just time to chat with this magical Pokémon for a while:

"The Pokémon I used against Heijin City Gym Master Piaota was an earthen turtle."

Mr. Gunten and the others spread their hands:

"At that time, I only had this Pokémon..."

"Although the lifespan of the Turtle is relatively long among Pokémon."

"But when I met Tutai Gui, he also reached the twilight years of his life..."

"That was about a few years ago..."

"Just like me, the Tutai Turtle has already foreseen the approaching age."

"We two old guys wanted to give it one last go."

"That Terra Turtle is also one of the most powerful Pokémon I have owned over the years."

"...Ah, don't translate this sentence to her..."

Mr. Gunten patted the head of the two-tailed monster lightly, and said to Riolu.

The Two-Tailed Hand doesn't know what's going on, it just enjoys interacting with its master.

"With only one Terra Turtle, it's really hard for me to get a Gym Badge."

"Because rules are rules, three Pokémon against three Pokémon!"

"Although I only have one earthen turtle, it is impossible to force the gymnasium owner to use one to decide the outcome."

"If you want to use one Pokémon to win three powerful Pokémon in the hands of the gym masters in a row, it is really impossible..."

"But the Tutai Turtle and I have already made a decision, the worst is to fight this last round!"

"Actually we did a pretty good job!"

Mr. Gunten showed a proud smile:

"The first enemy Dodai Turtle faces is the Big Rock Snake of the Black Gold Gym Leader Hyota!"

Riolu felt weird when he heard it. The Turtle is a Pokémon with dual attributes of ground and grass.

Although I don't know what stage Mr. Gunten's earthen turtle has been cultivated.

However, according to Mr. Gunten, since he is a tortoise whose life is about to come to an end, he probably has acquired a lot of combat experience and skills during his long years.

The Rock Snake is a very classic rock-type Pokémon.

Against an earth turtle with a grass attribute ability, it will be quite suppressed.

Mr. Gunten seemed to see Riolu's doubts:
"At that time, the gymnasium owner had already started to fight with Pokémon that was not much different from the challenger's strength."

"Under such circumstances, I took advantage of the platform turtle against the big rock snake."

"I didn't know that things were not as simple as I imagined until the battle started..."

"The fighting ability of the hall master level, their combat experience is really unparalleled, shocking..."

According to Mr. Gunten's careful narration, Riolu can roughly imagine the scene of the battle in his mind:
The earth turtle has an attribute advantage, and almost all attacks on the big rock snake can cause double damage.

This is indeed very advantageous, but it does not guarantee victory.

Turtle's grass-attribute attacks, for example: Flying Leaf Knife, Super Absorption...

It did cause quite serious damage to the big rock snake.

But under the command of Piaotai, although he was seriously injured, the big rock snake was still able to fight.

After forcibly surviving the first wave of attacks from the Tutai Turtle, the Big Rock Snake performed a series of moves that were not his rock-type Pokémon's expertise.

For example, the evil attribute move - tit for tat, the general attribute move - hold, and even the dragon attribute move - dragon's breath!

The sudden and unexpected attack caught Tutaigui by surprise.

But fortunately, after all, it is the grass attribute that suppresses the rock attribute Pokémon too much.

And the big rock snake is too classic a rock-type Pokémon.

Although the battle was extremely intense, it didn't look like a battle with attribute suppression at all.

But in the end Tutaigui won this precious first game.

"The second Pokémon sent by Laotai is still rock-type, with a nose that always points north."

"Dachaobeibi not only has the rock attribute, but also has the second attribute steel attribute."

"The existence of steel attribute makes him almost immune to grass attribute attacks."

"At least the grass attribute skill of the Turtle Turtle cannot cause normal damage to him..."

"But fortunately, in addition to my grass-type tortoise, it is also a ground-type Pokémon."

"The ground attribute has a good attack effect on the steel attribute and even the rock attribute!"

Mr. Gunten seemed to want to laugh but held back, shook his head slightly, and continued:

"Even so, Tutai Turtle paid a very painful price to win the battle."

"If it wasn't for the nose pointing north, even if it was always pointing north during the battle, whoever would win the battle might lose..."

"Although the Pokémon attributes used are just right for the Pokémon in the hands of the scoop, there is quite a lot of restraint."

"But winning the first two games is still going through hardships."

"At that time, both me and Tutaigui were almost exhausted."

"But there's only one game left, why don't we stick to it?"

Mr. Gunton sighed softly:

"In the last round, Mrs. Hyaku used his Pokémon Bankeras at the bottom of the box!"

"Bankyras..."

"That Pokémon is too strong..."

"It can be said to be the most powerful type of Pokémon that can be mastered by humans."

"The battle at that time was overwhelming, Bankiras, he was like a moving natural disaster, unreasonable, unable to resist..."
