Digimon Journey in the Spirit World

Looking at the tiger bee beast running around without any countermeasures, Bai Yi didn't know what to do for a moment.

Giving props temporarily? This is cheating and against the rules.

A righteous gang fight? No, no, that's a bit too much.

"TigerBeemon! Sword Dance!"

Feeling a little overwhelmed, Shiragirid could only take advantage of the opportunity when Venusaur began to grow again to let Aspidistra use the skills it had been hiding.

Swords Dance was figured out by Tiger Beemon when he was battling a wild trainer while watching the other party perform Swords Dance.

I have been studying and refining it on my own all this time and have never used it in other battles.

Now, there is really nothing we can do about Venusaur taking root and growing.

……

Holding the Royal Conqueror in its hand, the Tiger Bee Beast moves through the sharp leaves, twisting its body along with them, like a dancer on the blades, graceful yet dangerous.

A shadow of two swords intertwined appeared, and Tiger Beemon's sword dance was completed. Its attack increased by two levels. The two-level attack increased by only 2.25 times, which was not enough to kill Bulbasaur, which was rooting to recover health...

"Eh? No... Aspest is Bug Steel, it seems to be a counter to Venusaur, double it..."

Bai Yi looked at Tiger Bee, which was still moving around to avoid attacks, looking for an opportunity and waiting for Bai Yi's order. The formula for calculating Pokémon damage flashed quickly in his head.

Data appeared in front of him one by one, and he quickly calculated the damage that Tiger Bee could deal in its current state.

With perfect effect, it should be around 280 damage.

As for the racial value and individual value of the opponent's Bulbasaur, even if the effort value and individual value were maximized, a racial value of 80 could not reach 35 health points at level 300.

So...what am I thinking about?

"TigerBeemon, Sonic Stinger V will take care of it."

He did what he said. With a wave of his hand, Aspidiamon set up the Royal Conqueror and rushed towards Venusaur in an X shape, with energy flowing through the blade!

"Hmm?! Venusaur! Use all your strength to stop it!"

Shen Yu didn't understand. How could the opponent go from escaping timidly to actively attacking with just a sword dance?

The uneasiness in her heart made her nervous, but she didn't know what would happen, so she could only order Bulbasaur to use her greatest strength and take on Aspidistra's attack head-on.

"Dah!"

Flying Leaf Knife, Rattan Whip, Seed Bomb, Falling Petals...

Countless petals twisted into a roaring green dragon, the head of which was three meters in diameter.

It is much larger than the tiger bee.

In Wang Dong's eyes, the charging Tiger Bee Beast was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and Bai Yi's orders were even more random.

Under the gaze of everyone, the X-shaped shape formed by the blue light of Assassin easily shattered the green dragon that pierced through Venusaur, and then passed through Venusaur's huge body.

"Da Na!!"

The two wounds intersected, and Asphodon held back and did not cut Venusaur's head. Instead, it just scratched the left side of its body, but it almost cut out Venusaur's bones.

All the underground roots were broken and without energy supply, Venusaur was unable to heal its wounds. It fainted on the ground with blurred vision.

"You did a great job, Venusaur."

Shen Yu felt a little depressed. He took out the Poké Ball and took back Venusaur to prevent its injuries from getting worse again.

After talking to Venusaur while leaning against the Poké Ball, he smiled again and looked at Bai Yi.

"Ah... I'm no match for you, Bai Yi. What a pity."

Shen Yu had expected failure, but what Shen Yu had imagined was to force out Gengar from Bai Yi.

During the conversation between Wang Dong and Shen Yu, Bai Yi's strength was mentioned.

Wang Dong, who had seen Bai Yi's MetalGreymon fighting against the gym leader Tyrannosaurus, naturally thought that was Bai Yi's strongest fighting force. Gengar, who had been acting independently, ranked second, and TigerBeemon third.

But in fact, Wang Dong's speculation was wrong.

Machine Greymon's strength comes from his countless years of combat experience, as well as the assistance of items from Shiratsu before the battle.

In terms of actual combat power, the gap between Machinedramon with a racial value of more than 400 and Gengar with a racial value of more than 600 is getting bigger and bigger.

In terms of health points alone, the two are almost the same. The only thing that Machinedramon is stronger than Gengar is its attack power, which Gengar is not good at at all.

Shen Yu put away the Poké Ball, held something in his hand, and walked up to Bai Yi.

"this is for you."

"Ok?"

Are there spoils of war when we fight among ourselves?

Although he was confused, Bai Yi still took the item from Shen Yu's hand.

It was a golden lightning badge.

"Is this... the Volt Badge?"

Shen Yu has been in Raven City longer than Bai Yi and the others, so it is normal for him to have a gym badge, but the question is why should it be given to him?

"Do you remember what I said at the beginning? I came to Raven City to find a part-time job. Actually, it's a part-time job as a gym trainer. Mr. Thunderbird is out for something, so I'll take over temporarily."

"One thousand dollars a day!"

When talking about her salary, which was higher than that of many other professions, Shen Yu's eyes lit up.

"I see. So as a temporary gym trainer, you are qualified to give badges to others."

"Yes, that's it."

Weighing the badge in his hand, Bai Yi put it in his arms and looked at Wang Dong who was smiling beside him.

"You should know about this."

Wang Dong suddenly called him today and asked him to come. If he didn't know, that would be weird.

“Hehehe, I just found out about this yesterday too.”

Wang Dong recounted what happened yesterday.

Last night, Wang Dong, who was strolling on the street, happened to run into Shen Yu who was going to work at the Raven City Gym. He was surprised and challenged Shen Yu.

Relying on skills such as will-o'-the-wisp and curse, he disgusted each other with the rooted Venusaur. Finally, with the pain brought by the burns, he forced Shen Yu to give in and give him the badge.

After experiencing last night's challenge, Bai Yi, who still didn't know Shen Yu's identity, became Wang Dong's target.

He just wanted to see Bai Yi's surprised expression.

What a pity, Bai Yi had a calm expression on his face and was not surprised at all. The only change in his expression was when he saw Venusaur.

"I don't know what's so good about a frog..."

Wang Dong, who was standing aside, murmured.

"Okay, now that the gym challenge is over, which city are we going to next?"

Shen Yu adjusted his glasses and nudged Bai Yi with his elbow, signaling him to stop daydreaming.

"Hoba City... huh?!"

Bai Yi answered subconsciously and realized that the person who spoke just now didn't seem to be Wang Dong.

Looking up, Shen Yu was packing up his things very naturally, preparing to embark on his journey.

"You want to come with us?"

The other party's behavior was obvious, but Bai Yi couldn't understand it at all. The other party used to travel alone, so why did he suddenly join their team that they had only known for less than a month?

"Well... this is the guidance of the God of Life."

Shen Yu smiled mysteriously, rolled up his sleeves, revealing the green lines on his forearms that were coiled like tree roots.

"The God...of Life?"
