Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"Heartfish loses the ability to fight - Meowth wins!"

The sailor raised his arm on the side closest to Shoichi and announced the result of the match loudly.

"Thank you for your hard work, meow."

Xiangyi squatted down and touched Miaomiao's head.

"Meow~"

Meowth rubbed his head with the back of his paw.

Although they are also raised as pets, the cats of wealthy families cannot compare with those of ordinary people, whether in terms of daily food or scientifically arranged physical exercise.

There will be five minutes of preparation time after each game, and there is one game left before it is Wang Yao's turn.

……

Another short while passed...the previous game ended just as quickly.

After all, it's Caterpillar against Beedrill... Alakazam's arrangement already has a bit of a hellish joke about it.

"The next match - Ayo vs. Ayumi!"

As the referee shouted the player's name, Wang Yao walked onto the court.

For some reason... Wang Yao's opponent this time is another child.

The little girl looked shorter than Xiaozhi and was probably less than ten years old.

Because Wang Yao's name was called first, he had to send out the Pokémon first.

"Coward - the second round is up to you!"

Wang Yao doesn't pursue victory very much, and sending out the cowardly bug can give it more exercise.

"Gurg!"

The cowardly bug jumped into the pool first and occupied the advantageous terrain.

“Lu, Lulili——I’m counting on you!”

The little girl Ayumi was obviously a little nervous, and her hands holding the Poké Ball were shaking.

"Baby, you have to work hard!"

"Daughter! Dad believes in you!"

A young couple appeared outside the venue to cheer them on.

"Ok!"

Ayumi nodded towards her parents, her expression gradually becoming more resolute.

"Lulili——We have to work hard too!"

"Luli~"

Although Lulili lives by the water, she does not possess water attributes. If she falls into the water, she can only use her tail as a lifebuoy.

Therefore, Lulili, who cannot swim yet, can only fight on the deck.

"..."

For some reason, Wang Yao suddenly felt guilty.

Let me make it clear first - he didn't mean to hit the child~

Blame it on Alakazam! All the games were arranged by this old fox...

"Ahem - coward! Use the water-moving skill!"

Wang Yao coughed, and asked the coward to use his ultimate water-based move.

"Gurg!"

The cowardly bug understood what was going on and splashed a large amount of water at Lulili like a tornado destroying a parking lot!

"Get out of the way!"

"Luli!"

Lulili's ball-shaped tail is very elastic, and it can use the rebound force of the tail to jump on land.

After struggling to avoid the water splashing from the cowardly bug, Lulili let out a cheerful cry.

"Well done - then use the water gun!"

Ayumi shouted happily.

puff--!

A tiny stream of water sprayed towards the cowardly bug.

"Dive into the water to avoid it!"

The cowardly bug dived down to avoid the water gun attack.

"Jump out of the water - use the horn ram trick!"

Wang Yao used his ultimate move again.

"Gurg!"

The cowardly bug quickly jumped out of the water and rushed towards Lulili with amazing momentum.

boom!

The moment the cowardly bug got close to Luleli, it jumped up, flipped 360 degrees in the air, and hit Luleli with its whiskers as hard as steel!

“Luli——!”

Lulili was hit head-on by the cowardly bug's whisker-bumping trick and suffered a serious injury.

"Ah--Luleli! Are you okay?"

Ayumi was startled and immediately ran forward to check on Lulili's injuries.

Because it wasn't a particularly formal fight...the sailor who was the referee did not stop this behavior.

"Luli..."

Lulili stood up with difficulty and shouted with fighting spirit, indicating that she could still fight!

"As long as you're okay!"

Ayumi breathed a sigh of relief, patted Lulili's head, and returned to her position as a trainer.

"Lulili, fight back with bubble beams!"

The coward had already escaped from the water, and Ayumi felt that this was a good opportunity to fight back.

"Get out of the way!"

The cowardly bug moved quickly on the deck, dodging Lulili's bubble attacks.

"Lu...Luli..."

Due to limited physical strength, Luleli cannot use the bubble ray continuously.

Lying on the ground with her legs stretched out, Lulili relied on her ball-shaped tail to recover her strength.

"While this is happening - use Round Up, Coward!"

The opponent is very powerful, Wang Yao must let the cowardly bug strengthen himself quickly, otherwise there is a possibility of defeat.

"Gurg!"

The cowardly bug curled up its body into a round shape, improving its defense.

"Hurry up and stand up! Lulili - use the water gun!"

Ayumi shouted anxiously.

"Luli..."

Lulili stood up with difficulty, and spit out a small splash of water on the cowardly insect's carapace like watering a flower.

"Gurg!"

The cowardly worm suffered a huge blow, its whiskers trembled back and forth, and it made painful sounds from its mouth.

"Hold on, you wimp! Keep using the Circle Transform!"

The pain could not defeat the fighting spirit of the trainers and Pokémon, and Wang Yao asked Chicky to continue using his enhanced special moves.

"Come on—don't stop using the water gun!"

"Become round!"

"water gun!"

……

After a few rounds, the coward felt that he had become as round as his dinner plate.

“Lu…Lu…”

Lulili's skill PP has reached the bottom and her physical strength has been exhausted.

"Now is the time - you coward! Use the Slam Dash trick!"

Wang Yao probably felt that the time was about right.

"Gurg!"

The cowardly bug lightly touched Lulili, and she was knocked down... and then she rolled like a water ball.

"Korea……"

When the rolling stopped, Lulili's eyes were also exposed.

"Lulili!"

Ayumi ran over and picked up Lulili.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lulili..."

Although she only won one of the three games today, Ayumi still qualified for the next two days of competition.

"Lulile loses her ability to fight - the coward wins!"

The sailor acting as referee secretly gave Wang Yao a thumbs up.

After all, the original intention of holding the competition is to entertain the passengers. If you use a tough attitude to defeat the opponent, the loser's experience of the entire journey will be ruined.

"Ayumi, your command of the battle is beautiful!"

“Keep working hard tomorrow!”

Ayumi's parents who were waiting on the side came out and comforted their daughter.

“Thank you so much for your guidance to our daughter!”

By the way, I would like to thank my opponent A Yao.

"Nothing. She has a strong fighting spirit and will be a great trainer in the future."

"Thank you for your compliment. Ayumi... I've loved her since she was a kid..."

When talking about their daughter, the couple's words were full of affection.

Wang Yao simply responded with a few words and left like a coward.

His last two were not consecutive, and the next two players were ready.

"Well done, you coward!"

Wang Yao touched the carapace of the cowardly bug and it felt slippery.

"Guji~"

The cowardly bug made a delighted cry.
