Pokémon Go: Climbing Unknown Peaks

The next day, Feng Yuan got up early and woke up the three Pokémon to check their status. After confirming that everything was fine, he fed each Pokémon an Energy Cube and prepared a bottle of Moo Moo Milk for each Pokémon.

After finishing the milk, Feng Yuan collected Squirtle and Squirtle into the Poké Ball, and set off for the Kanaz Gym with Vulpix in his arms.

After walking for about half an hour, Feng Yuan arrived at the entrance of the gym. After preparing himself mentally, he slowly walked in. After a simple registration, he waited for the challenge to begin. There were very few people taking the challenge today, and in the challenge rest area, Feng Yuan found that he was the only one there.

Soon, he heard the radio calling Feng Yuan to go to the battle site. When Feng Yuan arrived at the site, he found that Du Juan was already waiting at the other end of the site. The entire site was uneven, surrounded by huge rocks. It was indeed a rock-type gym.

"Hello, challenger. The rules of the challenge are 1vs1 or 2vs2. You can choose one. In 2vs2, the challenger can actively change Pokémon. All Pokémon on one side lose their combat ability and the battle ends. The referee is a student of the gym. Any questions?"

"I choose 1vs1, no problem." Feng Yuan looked at the gym students on the referee's seat, then looked at the owner Du Juan and said.

"Okay, let's start. My Pokémon is this. Go, Geodude!" Du Juan threw a red and white ball. A red light flashed and a grey round stone appeared on the field. It had raised stone eyebrows, trapezoidal eyes with brown irises, and a pair of muscular arms with five fingers on its hands. It was Geodude.

"Then I'll send it out. Get ready, Leaping Fish." Feng Yuan took out a high-level ball and gently pressed the switch. A red light emerged from the ball and slowly formed the shape of a Leaping Fish.

"Aquaticalips? Judging from its appearance, it's well-bred. It's a bit bigger than normal. Its skin is also very shiny. It seems that your breeding level is very high. I wonder how good your command is. Geodude uses [Circle] and [Roll], targeting Aquaticalips."

"Water Jumper jumps away and uses Water Gun on the ground."

Because the ground is covered with dirt and rocks, using a water gun can make the ground muddy and limit Geodude's speed.

Following Feng Yuan's instructions, Water Leap opened its mouth and fired a water gun at the rotating Geodude on the ground. A stream of water rushed towards Geodude, but was dispersed by the rotating Geodude.

"It's useless. Geodude can use magnetic force to float. It's impossible for you to change the field to limit Geodude's speed. And Geodude's stamina is obviously better than that of Aquatripper. You will only lose if you continue to use this method. And Geodude's rolling speed will get faster and faster. Aquatripper can dodge it a few times."

"Gym Master Dujuan, please don't treat me like a newbie. You have to be more serious. The ability Geodude has shown right now is not enough to defeat me. Use Aqualad's maximum power [Water Gun] and aim at the rolling Geodude."

After hearing what Feng Yuan said, Water Leap Fish puffed up its cheeks and fired a [Water Gun] at Geodude. As expected, Geodude spun and blew all of it away. A layer of mist slowly formed on the field.

"Hmm? Could it be. Not good. Adjust your posture and slowly stop Geodude. Use [Rock Grinding] and prepare for a single strike to win."

At first, Du Juan thought Feng Yuan was desperate and had no choice but to use the [Water Gun] to compete with his physical strength and willpower. When the water mist appeared, Du Juan, as an experienced trainer, also reacted immediately.

The field is now getting wet, because the Geodude uses magnetic force to float, which also requires physical strength.

And the stamina of the Aquascaping Fish is not bad. Although it is not as good as Geodude, the basic speed of the Aquascaping Fish is faster than Geodude.

Now the field has become humid, and the Aquascaping Fish is obviously more adapted to this environment. And it takes more energy for Geodude to float. Geodude may be forced to defend. If he doesn't change his fighting style, he may really lose.

"Did you find out? Aquapop, keep using [Water Gun], aim at Geodude, and interrupt its charging!"

"Foug, take this Water Gun, and then finish with Rock Polishing."

Water Leap kept spitting at Geodude.

Because it didn't break up into mist, the only wet area was the area below where Geodude was. Geodude only needed to leave that area, and he wouldn't have to worry about his speed being suppressed and forced to defend.

"Stop using the [Water Gun], Water Leap Fish. Adjust your state and use [Rock Crushing]."

"Fistful of Stone, after you finish [Rock Polishing], get close to the Water Leaper, grab it, and use [Smash]."

I saw the small rock break away from its original position and float towards the water jump fish, but the water jump fish did not move, but stood in place to adjust its state. Now the water jump fish does not have the amplification skills, and can only recover its physical strength by adjusting its breathing. According to Feng Yuan's instructions, it uses [Rock Crushing] with all its strength. Welcome the challenge.

I saw Geodude rushing towards Aquaponics with a faint white light all over his body. Aquaponics was also using all of its strength to condense [Fighting Energy], preparing to use [Rock Crusher] to defeat the rock in front of it.

After a "bang", layers of wind pressure expanded outward from the place where the two Pokémon touched. Du Juan and Feng Yuan closed their eyes. After adapting for a while, they immediately opened their eyes and looked at the two Pokémon.

Geodude's [Racial Value] and [Special Defense] are relatively low, which means that this race's talent is not in this direction. Moreover, it is used to fight against novice trainers. This means that it is not a Pokémon that can make up for its own disadvantages in the long run.

Maybe it was because of the length of time since birth that there was not enough time for training, or because the trainer did not pay attention to this point and did not make up for it.

Because just now when he took the [Water Gun], Feng Yuan saw that Geodude's arm was beginning to bend due to weakness. Although it was not very obvious, Feng Yuan just liked to catch the details.

In fact, the water jump fish has not practiced fighting on wet ground. Even if it can adapt quickly, it still needs time. And the opponent may not give it this time.

So Feng Yuan took a gamble. His original intention was to suppress and attack Geodude's weak Special Defense point. As a result, his Water Gun was not only blocked, but also caused the field to become wet.

Feng Yuan took advantage of the situation and led Du Juan to believe that Water Leap could fight more effectively in this situation, allowing Geodude to engage in close combat.

As for the Aquascaper, he only used [Water Gun] throughout the whole game, so he would have more stamina left than Geodude. So he used [Rock Crusher], which has attribute restraint, to fight Geodude, who already had little stamina. According to Feng Yuan's guess, he should be able to win.

On the field, the eyes of the water jumper have turned into circles, and it has lost its ability to fight. Then the small rock is still floating, and just when the referee is about to announce the winner, the small rock also falls down, and its eyes have also turned into circles. So the referee's final decision is a draw.

Although it was a draw, Feng Yuan could still accept this result. Although he didn't understand at first why the Water Leaping Fish, which obviously had more energy left, fell first, he understood it after a moment's thought.

Geodude was obviously born earlier than Squirtle, and as a Pokémon used in gym battles, Azalea must have been trained. Maybe Squirtle had more spare energy at the time, but Geodude's stamina was higher and better than Squirtle's. So even if there was not much remaining stamina, it was for Geodude as an individual.

Moreover, this battle made Feng Yuan realize many of his shortcomings. Although the training plan was scientific enough, it was not comprehensive. He also deliberately led the opponent to follow his own ideas. The opponent thought that he was a novice trainer and did not take it seriously enough. All these reasons combined to get a draw. He was just lucky. He also had strength, but not much.

The battle ended, and both sides recovered their Pokémon. Dujuan slowly walked towards Fengyuan. He said, "Your Waterjump has not yet trained the skills of fighting on wet ground, right? Well done, you are thoughtful and observant. As a novice trainer, you performed very well."

As Du Juan spoke, he took out a badge with two directional arrows in yellow and red from his pocket.

"This is the Rock Badge, proof that you have successfully challenged the Rock Gym. But I recommend that you don't rush to challenge the next gym. After this duel, you should have discovered many of your shortcomings.

The gym trainer's job is not to point out your shortcomings. It is to make you face your shortcomings and correct them. You can use the time to reflect on what you have gained from this duel before heading to the next place. In the meantime, you can come and listen to the classes at the trainer school during the class period."

Feng Yuan took the [Rock Badge] with both hands and said sincerely: "Thank you, Master Du Juan. I did find a lot of shortcomings. I was too conceited."

Feng Yuan turned his head to look at Vulpix and continued, "I plan to train here for the next month. I can work here without any salary, just provide food, accommodation and training venues. If it doesn't disturb Miss Dujuan. If it's inconvenient, I can live in the Pokémon Center. But I also hope to borrow more space."

Du Juan smiled and replied, "I have two apprentices here, both of them are girls. It's a bit inconvenient for you to live here. You can live in the Pokémon Center, and if you want to use the venue, you can use it during non-challenge time. Just don't cause 'sabotage'."

"Thank you, Miss Dujuan!" Feng Yuan replied.

Feng Yuan was indeed not thoughtful enough. The apprentices here were all girls, which was indeed a bit inconvenient. But he could borrow the venue and attend the class. This showed that Du Juan really wanted to help Feng Yuan. This was the best that a gym trainer could do.

"You're welcome. You have a strong sense of combat and you will definitely become an excellent trainer. But there are always people better than you. You can't be complacent. Keep it up!" Dujuan said sincerely.

After all, the gym leader is responsible for selecting good talents for the alliance. Moreover, Fengyuan performed very well in today's battle, whether it was the cultivation of Pokémon, Fengyuan's command, or psychological warfare. Dujuan was willing to provide some help for such good talents.
