A heavy thud rang out, lightning flashed, and Charmander's Thunder Punch slammed into Torkoal, but it didn't budge its defense.
"Guest, Charmander's fist doesn't seem hard enough," the red clown laughed. After all, Torkoal's physical defense was no joke.
"Maybe." Just as Ye Chuan finished speaking, lightning gathered in Charmander's other fist, and it punched again!
One punch after another, like waves of lightning, continuously slammed into Torkoal and exploded. The latter, due to its slow speed, was even cornered by Charmander and attacked on its tail, making it unable to counterattack at all. If this continued, the outcome was really hard to say.
"Spin, Torkoal!" Seeing this, the red clown seemed to sense something was wrong and immediately had Torkoal use Rapid Spin to break free from Charmander's attack.
Torkoal retracted its limbs into its shell and then began to spin like a top.
Ye Chuan smiled slightly: "Who told you to move?"
Flames erupted on Charmander's fist, and the violent aura brought by Dragon Dance gathered. It slammed down heavily, cracking the ground beneath Torkoal. Its spinning body was actually forcibly held down by Charmander!
"That works too?!"
"Am I seeing a fake Charmander? Is it naturally strong?"
At this moment, the onlookers also exclaimed in surprise at this scene.
"What strong physical power," Gu Qi also looked at the Charmander in the distance with a look of disbelief. How was it trained like that?
Wasn't Charmander a Pokémon that excelled in ranged attacks?
"Gu Qi, in ancient times, when dealing with soldiers wearing hard armor, what weapon do you think was more effective than swords?" Ye Chuan suddenly asked.
"What?" Gu Qi was stunned.
"A hammer, because..." Ye Chuan looked into the distance. At this moment, Charmander had stepped onto Torkoal's shell and raised its fist. All its power gathered in Fire Punch, and then it slammed down fiercely!
With a loud bang, the ground beneath Torkoal completely shattered!
"Torkoal suffered internal injuries."
As soon as the words fell, Gu Qi quickly looked over and saw that Torkoal's limbs had stretched out, and it had lost its ability to battle.
"What an unexpected development. Well then, I'll also take my leave." The red clown took out his Poké Ball, recalled Torkoal, made a gentlemanly farewell gesture, and then, like a magic trick with the blue clown beside him, a puff of thick smoke suddenly appeared and enveloped the two.
When the smoke cleared, only two hats remained at the command position, and the two clowns had disappeared without a trace.
I suspect you two are using magic under the guise of magic tricks.
Ye Chuan couldn't help but think as he watched this scene.
Gu Qi quickly walked over, bent down to pick up the two pairs of hats, and then took out two cards from inside: "We succeeded!"
"This is the big prize?" Ye Chuan took the card and looked at it. He saw a clown's picture and a string of numbers. He didn't know what prize he could exchange it for.
"You keep this one too." Gu Qi handed the other card to Ye Chuan.
"Shouldn't it be one for each of us?" Ye Chuan was taken aback and then asked.
"Actually, I didn't help much at all, so I think it would be better for Ye Chuan to keep both of these big prizes," Gu Qi said with a smile.
"You told me about this event, and Poliwhirl also had a lot of its stamina depleted by your Snivy. How could you say you didn't help?" Ye Chuan stuffed one of the cards into Gu Qi's hand with a smile:
"One for each of us."
"Then... I won't stand on ceremony." After hearing what Ye Chuan said, Gu Qi had no choice but to accept the card and asked:
"Does Ye Chuan know how to redeem the prize?"
"No."
"You log in to the Bai Corporation's official website, then find the first event on the event page, enter the number on the card on the redemption page, and then fill in your home address," Gu Qi said.
"Is that so?"
Ye Chuan took out his phone and tapped a few times. After doing what Gu Qi said, the words "Redemption Successful" appeared on the website page.
Hopefully they'll send some TM.
Ye Chuan thought to himself.
Down below, An Shiyu walked over and said with a smile, "Ah Ye is so amazing, you could even defeat them like that."
"It's all thanks to Charmander." Ye Chuan looked at the Charmander by his feet.
"Ga."
"Let's heal the Pokémon first," Ye Chuan said. After all, it was the most basic responsibility of a trainer to restore the Pokémon's stamina immediately after a battle.
"I have medicine here. Let me heal both of your Pokémon." An Shiyu opened her bag and took out several bottles of medicine and a few yellow, crystal-like objects.
"Isn't this an Energy Powder?" Seeing the yellow crystal, Gu Qi was stunned:
"It's so expensive."
Energy Powder is a crystal condensed from special medicinal herbs. A Pokémon that has lost its ability to battle can recover its stamina by taking one, suitable for use in emergencies.
"It's okay, leave Snivy to me," An Shiyu said.
"Shiyu doesn't like seeing Pokémon looking weak, so it's no problem to leave it to her." Ye Chuan understood An Shiyu very well, so he explained to Gu Qi who was beside him.
"T-thank you then." Gu Qi handed Snivy's Poké Ball to An Shiyu.
Ten minutes later, both Snivy and Charmander had recovered their vitality.
An Shiyu squatted down and stroked their heads, her jewel-like clear eyes curving into adorable crescents: "It's good that you're okay."
"Hey, Ye Chuan." Gu Qi suddenly nudged Ye Chuan's arm with her elbow:
"Your girlfriend is a little rich, isn't she? How did you win her over?"
"Not really rich," Ye Chuan looked at Gu Qi, then added,
"And she's not my girlfriend either."
"Isn't she practically doing girlfriend things anyway?" Gu Qi muttered softly, then took out Snivy's Poké Ball and recalled it:
"Thank you for helping me heal Snivy. I won't disturb you two any longer. See you at school tomorrow."
Seeing that Gu Qi was about to leave, Ye Chuan nodded: "Yeah, see you tomorrow."
After Gu Qi walked away, An Shiyu turned her head to look at Ye Chuan's profile, then grasped the hem of her clothes with both hands and kneaded it:
"I... I think there was a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding about what?" Ye Chuan turned his head.
"It's about that, b-boy and g-girl..." An Shiyu's face began to turn red, and she started to stutter.
Ye Chuan bent down to look at An Shiyu, brought his face closer, and asked with a smile:
"Boy?"
"Y-yes, that's right. I haven't bought the ingredients for dinner yet, I'll go buy groceries first." An Shiyu finished speaking with her arms flailing, and like a startled rabbit, she ran away.
Watching An Shiyu's fleeing figure, Ye Chuan smiled slightly. He gently tugged the hair tie on his wrist and then turned around:
"Charmander, let's continue training."
"Ga."
