Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"it hurts!"

Xiaogang covered his head and came out of his tangled state.

"So what is the situation now..."

Wang Yao nudged Xiao Gang and asked.

"What's going on? Huh!"

"Actually... I noticed it from the beginning..."

Xiaogang showed the eyes of a famous detective.

"This largest rock snake... judging by the proportions of the horn on its head - it's a female rock snake!"

"female?"

Wang Yao looked at the giant rock snakes around him in a daze.

How come he feels exactly the same?

"If an outsider doesn't observe carefully, he won't be able to see it..."

Xiaogang acted like a rock-type gym leader.

"And this big steel snake... judging by the number of joints on its body and the number of teeth in its mouth... is a male!"

Xiaogang made a judgment based on his own observations.

"so what?"

Wang Yao still didn't quite understand.

"So! This must be——!"

Xiaogang's tone was very serious.

"——As the leader of the tribe, Onix took a liking to this handsome wild Steelix at first sight!"

"... and then I tried to take her in! Even with my huge love, I finally evolved!"

Xiaogang clasped his hands together and acted like a little bird.

It was as if he was the one who was eager to be kept by the royal sister!

"Oh~ what a touching love story!"

Xiaogang was intoxicated by his own reasoning.

"I wish my future love could be this simple!"

"what?"

Wang Yao looked at the Onix leader who was burning Steelix in front of him, and was a little skeptical of Xiaogang's explanation.

"Isn't your story too far-fetched?"

"This deadly posture... doesn't look like an expression of love at all, does it?"

Wang Yao pointed at the giant steel snake that was almost roasted red... and corrected Xiaogang's fantasy.

"Then, Ayao, do you have any better explanation?"

Xiaogang asked Wang Yao back.

"Um... this?"

Wang Yao stroked his chin and thought for a few seconds, then suddenly noticed the group of lava snails and lava worms who were also watching the battle and seemed to be particularly concerned about the Steelix.

"Is it possible that..."

"The Rock Snake and the Lava Snail on Mount Miacha have become enemies because of fighting for resources!"

"——And this big steel snake is a thug hired by the lava snails at a high price!"

Wang Yao looked at the various ores scattered all over the ground and gradually perfected his reasoning.

"... and when I asked, the chief of the Rock Snake tribe who happened to lead the way happened to see them making a private transaction!"

"Faced with the giant steel snake that turned against its own clan and betrayed its own clan for the sake of profit!"

"…The angry Onix leader evolved on the spot to eliminate the traitors in one fell swoop!"

Wang Yao gave a more "reasonable" explanation based on the specific circumstances at the scene.

"Obviously my reasoning is more correct - this is the spark of love!"

Xiao Gang retorted.

"Put away your love-minded thoughts! This is clearly an attempt to eliminate the traitors in the tribe!"

Wang Yao also argued his point.

"Ew!"

While the two were still arguing about the truth of the matter, the situation on the field changed again.

Although Steelix was caught off guard, he was attacked by the mother snake!

But its strong physique and extraordinary level make it not so easy to be defeated.

Faced with the beautiful snake that challenges the majesty of the mountain god, it has to show off its real skills!

"Ew!"

The Steelix suddenly exerted force from its heavy tail, and its entire body rushed out like a spring!

At the same time, the energy of the rock system gathered on the huge steel head, and the heavy energy shell was like a giant hammer!

This is a super move belonging to the rock system——【Double-edged Head Hammer】

The headbutt attack filled with explosive energy hits the magma Steelix directly!

“Wooooooooooooooooo!”

Contrary to the explosive damage imagined, when the double-edged head hammer hit the opponent, it seemed as if it was stuck in a quagmire.

No! It's not a swamp - it's magma! It's the hot magma that keeps flowing from the molten Steel Snake!

Steelix felt something was wrong!

The magma-like body absorbed a lot of the impact force, and the body temperature of the angry mother snake was hotter than real magma.

"Woooooooooo!"

Since the other party took the initiative to bump into me...

The snake's instinct was aroused, and the mother snake immediately entangled itself and used its lava tail to tightly strangle the steel snake's body.

"Ew!"

Although wild Steelixes have lived underground for a long time, they are not as afraid of high temperatures as their counterparts that have evolved through technology!

But the extremely high temperature can still make its hard surface alloy soft... This is also the reason why lava snails can shape a shiny and smooth metal body for it.

Combined with the strangling force from the mother snake's huge body, Steelix was temporarily put in a passive position.

The iron tail glowed white and slammed onto the mother snake's body with a bang.

But the feedback is still so weak...

It's like a stick hitting cotton... except that the other party is not cotton, but flowing magma.

"Woooooooooo!"

He opened his mouth wide and a flame in the shape of a big character gushed out!

boom--!

A huge flaming explosion burst out on Steelix's body, leaving a red mark.

boom--!

boom--!

boom--!

Another three consecutive bursts of big characters!

Every shot hit the opponent's iron body mercilessly!

The Steelix was instantly stunned by these flame attacks filled with explosive energy.

Not willing to be outdone, Steelix attempted to counterattack with his [Light Cannon]...

But whether it is the properties or the intensity of the energy... there is a huge gap.

"Ew!"

Steelix's physical strength decreased very quickly.

This feeling... this feeling of powerlessness...

Steelix gradually understood the situation of both parties.

It was as if... as if the other party was born to restrain it!

Natural enemy?

Is the other party the mountain god himself...a natural enemy that he cannot defeat?

Thinking of this, Steelix's resistance became weaker and weaker... and its remaining strength was also rapidly consumed.

……

"Hey... do you think I'll have a chance to capture Steelix later?"

Wang Yao looked at the battle situation on the field and asked.

"Difficult... After all, if they unite and marry, I'm afraid our Pokémon won't be able to deal with them at all..."

Xiaogang still insisted on his previous reasoning.

"And...if you were to tame one...which one would you tame?"

Xiaogang pointed at the two big Steelixes on the field and asked.

"Um...I can't have both?"

Wang Yao scratched his head and threw the question back to Xiaogang.

Although we cannot win if we unite together, the other side is now fighting on their own... maybe I can be the one who benefits?

"Don't forget them..."

Xiao Gang looked meaningfully at the group of equally confused giant rock snakes.

The previous super giant Onix and now the lava Steelix, as the leaders of the tribe, no matter what the situation is, it seems unlikely that they can be subdued by Wang Yao.
