At the beginning, Shinji gave me the elf

Sanyao Gym is located in a luxurious restaurant in Sanyao City.

Different from other gyms, it has a total of three gym leaders, namely Tiantong, Bert and Kouen.

The challenger only needs to defeat one of them to get the Three-Element Badge.

However, since Tiantong has been "abducted" by Xiaozhi, Shiraishi can only choose one of the remaining two gym leaders to fight.

"Burt uses a fire-based Explosive Monkey, while Cohen's elf is a water-based Cold Water Monkey."

"The Sea Demon Lion hasn't evolved yet, so let's just use the Thunder Beast to deal with Korn's Cold Water Monkey!"

After thinking about it, Shiraishi finally chose Kou En as his challenger.

In his memory, Kouen's strength was not particularly strong.

Shiraishi plans to keep the electrical field when he fights Coen.

Through this game, we can evaluate the specific strength of Thunder Beast under normal conditions.

"You have good taste. Cohen will treat you well!"

Cohen expressed his praise for Shiraishi's choice.

"Tch, it's really boring!"

Bert, who was not selected, said slightly disappointed.

Afterwards, Shiraishi followed Coun and the two to the battlefield.

The battle field at Sanyao Gym is a standard rocky venue.

The site is covered with dirt and rocks of different sizes.

"Thunder Beast, the decision is yours!"

Shiraishi took out the Poké Ball, threw it into the sky, and sent the Thunder Beast onto the field.

"It is indeed an electric elf... Come out, cold water monkey!"

Kou En, as usual, sent out the cold water monkey.

After the two elves were in place, the game officially started.

"Thunder Beast, use electromagnetic waves!"

Shiraishi strikes first and directs the Thunder Beast Path.

A weak blue current shot towards the cold water monkey.

"Cold water monkey, hide behind the rocks!"

Cohen snapped his fingers and directed the cold water monkey.

The cold water monkey jumped behind a certain boulder, using it as a shield to block the electromagnetic waves of the thunder beast.

"Cold water monkey, use water gun!"

Blocking his opponent's attack, Cohen quickly launched a counterattack.

The cold water monkey opened its mouth and spit out a water column as thick as an adult's arm in the direction of the thunder beast.

"Thunder Beast, use high-speed movement!"

Shiraishi's expression remained unchanged and he commanded calmly.

The thunder and lightning beast exerted its strength on its limbs and burst out at extremely fast speeds, easily dodging the cold water monkey's attack.

"I have fought countless challengers like you who use electric elves."

"Cold water monkey, aim at the ground and use the water gun!"

Kouen already had a countermeasure and commanded the Cold Water Monkey Road.

The cold water monkeys kept spraying water, making the nearby fields muddy.

It caused some obstacles to the movement of the thunder beast, and its speed dropped significantly.

"Thunder Beast, use one hundred thousand volts!"

When Shiraishi saw this, he immediately changed his mind and shouted to the Thunder Beast.

Upon hearing this, the Thunder Beast aimed at the Cold Water Monkey and released a strong blue current.

"Cold Water Monkey, use shadow clone!"

Kou En remained calm and commanded the cold water monkey.

Suddenly, a large number of Cold Water Monkey clones appeared on the field.

The true nature of the cold water monkey is hidden in these clones.

Let the thunder beast's one hundred thousand volts be unable to attack it.

"Thunder Beast, use discharge!"

Shiraishi saw the move and shouted to the Thunder Beast.

The Thunder Beast followed the instructions and released a dense blue current around itself.

All the cold water monkeys were included in the attack range.

Under the attack of electric current, the number of cold water monkeys on the field began to decrease rapidly.

"Cold Water Monkey, use Mud Play!"

Kouen's expression changed and he quickly directed the cold water monkey.

The cold water monkey stretched out his hands, inserted them into the ground, and lifted them up with force, turning up a lot of soil, thereby weakening the thunder beast's electric skills.

After the mud-playing skill has been weakened, the dense electric current released by the Thunder Beast can no longer cause fatal damage to the Cold Water Monkey.

"Cold water monkey, use water gun!"

Kouen counterattacked and commanded the cold water monkey path.

A blue water column spewed out from the mouth of the cold water monkey.

"Thunder Beast, hide behind the stone!"

Shiraishi used his own methods to treat others, and commanded the thunder beast to avoid it.

With the help of the rocks on the site, the cold water monkey's water gun was blocked.

"Thundermon, use Charge!"

Taking advantage of the rock as cover, Shiraishi issued new instructions to the Thunder Beast.

The thunder beast shakes its body hair and creates friction with the air.

Attract the current generated by friction to your body.

"Cold water monkey, use random grab!"

Kou En's expression changed and he quickly shouted to the cold water monkey.

The cold water monkey showed its sharp claws and rushed towards the thunder beast.

I want to interrupt the Thunder Beast's charging skills.

Little did they know, the Thunder Beast had already finished charging and was waiting for it to take the bait.

"Now, Thundermon, use Discharge!"

Shiraishi curled his lips and shouted to the Thunder Beast.

Upon hearing Shiraishi's instructions, the Thunder Beast immediately released dense electric currents in all directions.

With the blessing of charging skills, the thunder beast's discharge skills have returned to their original power.

The cold water monkey plunged into the current and suffered continuous injuries.

After being electrocuted for more than ten seconds, it couldn't bear it anymore.

His eyes went dark, he fell to the ground and fell into coma.

"The cold water monkey loses the ability to fight, the winner is Shiraishi!"

Shiraishi also won this game.

"It's really amazing that you can defeat Kou En!"

"As a reward, please accept this three-yuan badge!"

After the battle, Cohen personally awarded the badge to Shiraishi.

"Thank you for your advice, Master Kouen!"

Shiraishi took the badge and thanked Cohen.

……

Although he successfully obtained his first badge in the Unova region, Thundermon's performance did not meet Shiraishi's expectations.

In his expectation, the Thunder Beast could easily defeat his opponent even without using the electrical field.

As a result, it took a lot of effort to capture Cohen's cold water monkey.

The main reason why the fight was so stalemate, apart from underestimating the enemy, was that the thunder beast's electric skills were weakened by the mud-playing skills.

"Most of the Thunder Beast's strength is concentrated in its electric skills."

"Once, electric skills cannot be used, or the power of electric skills is reduced."

"The combat power that the Thunder Beast can exert will be greatly affected."

"If there is a chance in the future, maybe we can let it learn more special skills."

"Abilities like Flamethrower, Crush, and Loud Sound are all good choices."

"In addition, excluding the electrical field, the true combat power of the Thunder Beast is not as exaggerated as I imagined."

"Facing the gym leader's elves, you can't take any advantage."

"I can't slack off because of the evolution of the Thunder Beast!"

Back at the Elf Center, Shiraishi replayed the gym battle with Coen.

We conducted a profound summary and reflection on the problems exposed in the competition.

I hope to take this as a warning and climb to a higher level.
