Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"Since it's a Rock-type gym... then it's decided to be you!"

Under Wu Neng's surprised gaze, Wang Yao took out another high-level ball.

"Go! Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

The Poké Ball popped open with a sound, a red light flashed, and a three-meter-tall unicorn monster appeared on the field!

"Roar--!"

Stepping onto the familiar rocky ground, the Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex's momentum became even stronger.

"I see...Ayao, right?"

Wu Neng understood by now.

Whether it was the disparagement of the gym or the threatening words towards Xiaogang, they were all just provocations from the enthusiastic young man in front of him!

Obviously, I have more life experience, but in this regard, I was easily outsmarted by a young man.

It's unbelievable!

Or maybe... this is what it means to be too concerned.

"I'll thank you later... Since you've shown your fighting spirit, I have no choice but to take the fight seriously!"

Wu Neng also followed Wang Yao's action and threw out his own Poké Ball.

"Go! Rumble Rock!"

“Long——!”

Bang bang——!

With two muffled sounds, Rhodon also appeared on the field!

Although it is only half the size of Tyrannosaurus, Rhydon, which is classified as a "heavyweight Pokémon" by scholars, has an astonishing weight that far exceeds that of Tyrannosaurus!

Unlike the monster-like Tyrannosaurus Rex, Rhydon's body is like a big ball covered with rocks with hands and feet growing out of it.

"We'll take the first attack!"

Wang Yao took the lead in commanding.

According to the official competition rules, the player who sends out the Pokémon first naturally has the right to attack first.

This can slightly make up for the disadvantage of the opponent using Pokémon with attribute restraint in the second hand.

"Ironclad Tyrannosaurus! Use 100,000 horsepower!"

There was no need to waste time to strengthen himself. Wang Yao ordered the Tyrannosaurus Rex to attack mercilessly right from the start!

Bang, bang! Bang, bang!

The field was filled with the sound of dense footsteps, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex accelerated and rushed straight towards the Rumble Rock that was standing there.

"Use the Shadow Clone Technique!"

(Additional information to prevent arguing: Before the sixth generation, Rhydon could learn Shadow Clone, and this skill even appeared in the animation of "The Phantom Thief Rhydon", but this skill was deleted in subsequent versions.)

Wu Neng gave the order calmly.

“Long…”

Longlongyan's body shook and three clones appeared on the spot!

"Roar?!"

The accelerating Tyrannosaurus Rex was a little confused for a moment, not knowing which target to attack.

"Don't worry about it! Just hit the one in the middle!"

Wang Yao couldn't tell the difference either, but it didn't matter which one he chose. The Tyrannosaurus Rex, which was already accelerating and charging, couldn't stop.

"Roar--!?"

Upon receiving the order, the Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex rushed towards the figure in the middle without hesitation using 100,000 horsepower!

But at the moment of contact, Longlongyan's figure turned into white light and dissipated!

Obviously, Wang Yao guessed wrong.

"Now! Use the enhanced punch!"

Wu Neng's tactics are very sophisticated.

Bang-!

The Rhydon on the left swung out a fist with white light and hit directly on the back of the Tyrannosaurus Rex that had chosen the wrong target!

As a fighting skill, Enhanced Fist does not deal high damage, but it has the additional effect of increasing the attack power after hitting the target!

As the fist hit the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Rhydon's momentum seemed to become even stronger!

"…I guessed wrong."

Although he didn't guess it right, it didn't matter. It's just that Wang Yao couldn't allow the other party to continue to strengthen.

"In that case... Tyrannosaurus Rex! Start a sandstorm!"

When facing a strengthened Rhydon, simply attacking with all your might is not the best option.

So Wang Yao planned to change his tactics.

"Roar!"

The Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus stomped the ground hard, and a cloud of dust swept out from under its body, instantly filling the entire rocky area!

"It's useless! Rhydon is also a rock-type Pokémon! Sandstorms are also good for us!"

Wu Neng crossed his arms across his chest, looking as if he had anticipated the enemy's moves.

"Iron Armor Tyrannosaurus! Use Mud Throwing Attack!!"

Wang Yao did not respond to Wu Neng, but let the Armored Tyrannosaurus interfere with the opponent's vision!

puff--!

A ball of mud hit Rhydon's little head accurately!

Although the damage was not high, the fine mud residue still formed a mess on Rhydon's eyes.

“Long…”

Longlongyan used his little paws to pat the mud off his face in a panic.

"Now! We use Sword Dance!"

Rather than taking advantage of the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, Wang Yao planned to advance step by step.

"Roar--!"

The sword dance postures of different Pokémon are also different. Tyrannosaurus shakes its body and tail, using movements similar to tribal war dances to boost momentum!

"Rumble Rock - Use Rock Slide forward!"

Wu Neng sensed something was wrong and immediately called upon Rhydon to try to interrupt Wang Yao's enhanced tactics.

However, it was not easy to see the body shape in the sandstorm, and the mud thrown in the face reduced the hit rate. Even if Rhydon reacted, it was too late.

The rockfall did not hit the strengthening Tyrannosaurus.

"Go on! Use Iron Wall!"

Wang Yao then gave the order.

Unlike the cold data in the game, continuous use of the same enhanced move in actual combat will significantly reduce the skill effect.

So after strengthening the strength, it is naturally the turn of defense!

"Rumble Rock! Interrupt it! Use a rolling attack!"

Wu Neng can no longer sit still. If he allows the Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex to succeed, the balance of victory will be greatly tilted!

“Long——!”

Rhydon retracted his limbs and head into his rock shell, and his body began to spin rapidly, charging across the field!

Rumble——!

Unfortunately, in the first rolling impact, Rhydon brushed against the tail of the Tyrannosaurus Rex and missed the target!

By the time Rhydon circled half a circle around the field and crashed into the Tyrannosaurus Rex again, the iron wall had been strengthened!

"Stop it! Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

Wang Yao's tactics have been successful!

Now is the time to reap the fruits of victory.

Bang-!

The high-speed rolling Rhodon was easily blocked by the claws of the Tyrannosaurus Rex!

“Long…”

Rhydon was forced to stop rolling, and his limbs and head emerged from his body again.

Because he was stopped by force, Longlongyan still felt a little dizzy.

"Now! Use the arm hammer!"

The opponent's defense revealed a flaw, and Wang Yao naturally would not miss such a good opportunity to attack!

The Armored Tyrannosaurus raised its claws high, white light gathered on its arms, and it clenched its claws and swung it down suddenly!

Bang-!

A huge amount of dust was stirred up!

"Rumble Rock!"

Wu Neng stared anxiously at the competition venue filled with yellow sand.

“Long——!”

The old partner’s response is still so powerful!

It seemed that the time had come, and the sandstorm that the Tyrannosaurus Rex had previously created also dissipated at this time.

The situation of the two Pokémon on the field is revealed.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex's downward claws were held tightly by Rhydon, and the two sides were wrestling!

"Roar--!"

“Long…”

Although the response to the trainer's shout just now was very powerful, it was obvious that Tyrannosaurus Rex had the upper hand on the field.

"Hold on! Rumble Rock!"

The current situation is not optimistic for Rhydon, and Wu Neng can only try his best to inspire Rhydon's fighting spirit.

"Use your full strength! Tyrannosaurus Rex!!"

Wang Yao's side is in high spirits!

In a head-on collision of power, the strengthened Tyrannosaurus Rex is definitely more advantageous!

"Roar--!!!"

The Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus slammed its tail on the ground! With the help of this reaction force, its body instantly rolled towards Rhydon!

Bang-!

Rhydon couldn't hold out after all and was completely pinned down by the Tyrannosaurus Rex!

The fallen Rhydon lost its balance, and because its round body restricted its movements, it couldn't even stand up on its own for a while!

"Give it the final blow! Destroy the death ray!!!"

Following Wang Yao’s shout!

The Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus opened its mouth wide, and a powerful energy condensed between its sharp teeth!

"Get out of the way!"

Wu Neng shouted anxiously outside the field, but Rhydon lost his balance and had no time to dodge!

boom--!

The white beam of light filled with destructive energy instantly bombarded the nearby Rumble Rock, making a huge explosion!

"it's over!"

There is no suspense about the outcome of the battle!

"Rhydon has lost his ability to fight! The winner of the first battle is Ayao from Red Lotus Island!"

Xiaogang, who came on stage to act as the referee, raised a flag, announcing Wang Yao's first victory in the Deep Gray Gym!

"Thank you for your hard work... Rumble Rock."

After taking back the exhausted Rhydon, Wu Neng felt a little emotional.

"Very good tactics... You don't look like a rookie trainer at all!"

First there was a giant crab whose details were unclear, and then there came an Armored Tyrannosaurus whose strength was comparable to that of his trump card, Rhydon.

Make good use of the weather and enhance your skills... Even if you lose at the beginning, you can still perfectly grasp the rhythm of the battlefield!

How can this person look like a rookie trainer without a single badge?

"If I must say... Tyrannosaurus is a new partner... But the Giant Claw Crab is my first partner and has been with me for seven years!"

Wang Yao did not pretend to be ignorant or rely on showing off in front of others to satisfy his vanity.

"I see... Is he the type of trainer who accumulates knowledge over time?"

Wu Neng nodded. With such an explanation, the failure of the battle did not seem unacceptable.

"Then... let it fight in my second match!"

Wu Neng was able to take out a second Poké Ball.

"Go! Fossilized pterosaur!"

"Roar--!"

As the overlord of the ancient sky, the appearance of the fossil pterosaur is still so shocking!

When he was on Yeli Island, Wang Yao had seen and even ridden Uncle Wei Zengjitaro's fossil pterosaur, so he was not unfamiliar with this Pokémon.

But Wang Yao had not obtained the atlas at that time, so when he saw it again this time, he had to scan it!

"Ding - Fossilized pterosaurs! Fossilized Pokémon! There have been successful cases of resurrection through research on genes extracted from amber!"

“…But as archaeological excavations progressed, fossil pterosaurs that have survived from ancient times to the present were discovered in mysterious underground caves!” After the mechanical sound effects of the illustrated book were introduced, the information of the fossil pterosaurs was also scanned into the chip.

"It's the opposite of your situation... The Rhodon just now is my trump card, and the Pterosaur was captured by chance when I passed by a valley before returning home..."

Seeing that Wang Yao had completed the atlas record, Wu Neng also introduced it.

"The Valley! Where is it!?"

Wang Yao has been coveting the fossil pterosaur for a long time!

"Hmm... just north of Crimson City... almost to a large valley in the Wilderness Area..."

Wu Neng didn't expect Wang Yao to be so interested in the fossil pterosaur. After recalling for a while, he reported the location.

"Light Red City?"

Wang Yao's luggage was all at the Pokémon Center, and he didn't have a map book with him! For a moment, he didn't know where the city was.

"Light Red City is in the southwest of Kanto, and the distance from Dark Gray City is almost across the entire Kanto!"

As the referee, Xiaogang gave an answer for Wang Yao.

Xiaogang, who has always been eager to travel, has memorized the locations of several large cities in the Kanto region.

“It’s so far away!”

Wang Yao felt a bit overwhelmed after hearing this.

“——That’s right!”

Wang Yao suddenly pounded his palm and had an idea!

"Whether your fossil pterosaur is male or female... never mind! It doesn't matter whether it's male or female!"

"Anyway! Send it to the breeding house to lay eggs!"

Wang Yao spoke his thoughts quickly.

"Well... this is a bit... we still have to see what the fossil pterosaurs themselves think, right?"

As a traditional Pokémon trainer, Wu Neng is not familiar with the egg-hatching gameplay that gamers are accustomed to.

"What's there to hesitate about? Do you know how rare fossil pterosaurs are?!"

Wang Yao scoffed at Wu Neng's old-fashioned conservatism.

What era is this? Are we still talking about free love and free marriage?

Take care of it! It must be taken care of!

Contact the breeding house immediately! Prepare a dozen or twenty Ditto wives/husbands for it!

"Even if your Deep Gray Gym regroups, you are already on the verge of bankruptcy!"

Wang Yao directly hits the pain points of Wu Neng and Xiao Gang!

"Um...this..."

Wu Neng actually doesn't know much about his family's financial situation.

"My brothers and sisters are gradually growing up... The subsidies given by the alliance to the gym are indeed not enough to cover the expenses..."

Xiaogang answered this question for his father.

"That's right! Not only can you not afford to support apprentices at your Deep Gray Gym, you even have to rely on your younger brothers and sisters to fill in as staff and referees!"

Wang Yao explained the embarrassing situation of the Deep Gray Gym one by one.

"but--!"

Wang Yao's voice shocked everyone! It attracted the attention of Wu Neng and Xiao Gang.

"Just cultivate a large number of fossil pterosaur eggs and announce the news!"

"Trainers chasing after rare Pokémon will flock here! They will compete to become your Deep Gray Gym's apprentices!"

Wang Yao tells about the bright future of the Dark Gray Gym, which will be turned around with the help of the Fossil Pterosaur.

"But... selling Pokémon eggs..."

Marketing Pokémon eggs that you raise yourself is certainly not considered smuggling or poaching, but morally, Wu Neng always feels a little guilty about it.

"What do you mean by selling?! This is called paid adoption!"

Wang Yao glared and corrected Wu Neng's wrong wording.

"In order to give the unborn little fossil pterosaurs a better life, your Dark Gray Gym will take the initiative to find excellent trainers to raise them!"

"In the process... we charge a small amount of conservation fees! Isn't that very reasonable?!"

Wang Yao's words seemed to be extremely tempting.

"Hearing you put it that way...it seems to be true."

Wu Neng thought of some of the existing Pokémon adoption agencies in the Alliance, and they seemed to have similar actions.

It’s just that most adoptions are free of charge.

But as Wang Yao said, it is reasonable to charge the trainer a little "nurturing fee" for the eggs he hatched himself.

"But... the fossil pterosaur seems to be a male... so where can we find a large number of Ditto?"

Wu Neng has already started asking about the details of the egg hatching plan.

"Well... I happen to know a ranch that might be able to provide this condition..."

Wang Yao stroked his chin and came up with a plan in his mind.

……

Fossilized Pterosaur: Have you forgotten something...

……

[PS: The rules for hatching Pokémon eggs are very complicated, so I will only explain the simple ones here.

1. The eggs must be laid by a male and a female from the same egg group (they don't have to be of the same species, but they must be from the same egg group. For example, the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Miss Boscodorra mentioned above both belong to the monster egg group.). The eggs laid in this way will have the mother's species and gender randomly generated according to the population ratio.

2. Special genderless Pokémon can only lay eggs with Ditto (such as Psychic Dolls).

3. If you only have the male Pokémon you want and no female Pokémon, you can only look for Ditto to hatch the Pokémon's eggs, and the eggs hatched in this way will still be male. (This is the situation in the article.)]
