Elf: Who told him to be an investigator!

Chapter 48 You're definitely not a rookie trainer!

Whether it was intentional or accidental, this Onix was completely targeting the fear and timidity of novice trainers.

This is what other games commonly refer to as a "mechanic-driven monster," and it's easy to solve once you find a way to deal with it.

And the solution is easy to find.

"Jump up," Ze Shu said simply.

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, the Six-Tails swished its tail in surprise.

But it still believed in Ze Shu without reservation.

Her small, white body faced the charging Onix without hesitation, and with a light leap, she directly jumped onto the rocky surface of the Onix's body.

After struggling to withstand the impact, it steadied itself and stood on the surface of the giant onion.

This caused Onix's charge to miss its target.

It twisted and turned stiffly, but it couldn't get rid of the small, but very clever, cotton candy on its huge body.

"Goohoo—!!"

It roared, yet remained helpless.

"This..." Piao Tai was stunned for a moment, "It's actually possible..."

He had encountered this giant Onix in the mine not long ago. Despite its enormous size, it was actually a baby Pokémon that had just been born from the rock strata. And this was the first time he had ever used a Pokémon to fight a new trainer.

Piao Tai was still wondering if the difficulty was too high.

After all, the Onix's massive body can cause considerable damage with just one impact.

Surprisingly, the Onix only appeared for less than a minute before the challenger found a way to counter it!

As a rock properties expert, he had never even thought of this before.

This can't possibly be a rookie trainer, right?!

Piao Tai was a little confused.

But the situation didn't respond to his bewilderment.

"Let's go with the snow." Sawaki used the same tactic again.

"Huh?"

Looking at the gap between the rocks that made up the giant onix, Six-Tails didn't hesitate. With a flick of its tail, it continuously sprayed ice-attribute energy mixed with snowflakes into the gap.

Instantly, Onix's already stiff body became even stiffer from the cold. It roared, but still couldn't shake the little Vulpix off its body.

Time flows by.

Hyota struggled to find a way to change the situation, as the Onix didn't know many moves. He tried using Rockfall, but it was ineffective and only resulted in Onix accidentally injuring him.

finally.

"Goohoo—!!!"

With a hysterical roar, the giant onyx suddenly swung its body as if in a final burst of energy, but its stored strength gave way, and it collapsed to the ground with a wail, completely unable to fight.

Six-tailed Serpent leaped out of its body following the momentum of Onix's swing.

She lunged towards Ze Shu, yelling, "Ooh!"

Bang!

The impact of the six-tailed fox's small body slamming into Zeki's chest sent him staggering back several steps before he could properly absorb the force. Looking at the six-tailed fox rubbing against him in his arms, Zeki felt a little helpless.

"You..."

"Ooh~!"

Six-tailed Fox proudly raised its adorable head, wanting to be praised.

It defeated this huge rock snake!

"Good, good." Ze Shu laughed, patted it, and praised, "My little six-tailed fox, you're really great!"

"Ooh!"

Feeling the warmth of Zeshu's embrace, Liuwei squinted its eyes and nuzzled against him, its fluffy white tail swaying contentedly before slowly closing its eyes.

It seems it has no intention of playing again.

Ze Shu smiled.

After all, it's a baby that's not even a month old yet, and its six tails haven't fully separated. Let's just leave it as it is.

the other side.

Amidst the cheerful cheers from the audience and the urging of the referee, who seemed like a mole, the atmosphere was tense.

Piao Tai looked helplessly at the Onix lying on the ground, completely unconscious, and took out the last Poké Ball.

He closed his eyes and pondered for a few seconds before suddenly opening them, his expression serious and full of fighting spirit as he said:

"Ze Shu, I admit you're more than just a rookie trainer. But what I'm about to present is the latest discovery from the collaboration between Blackrock City and the museum, which might be a bit challenging for you... and I'll be taking it very seriously!"

After saying that, Piao Tai suddenly threw a Poké Ball high into the air.

Upon landing, it bounced off with a thud, and the white light transformed into a Pokémon resembling an ancient overlord.

Its entire body was grayish-blue, and on its huge, bright head stood four extremely threatening horns, which were now baring their fangs and claws menacingly.

The claws are a bit small, so you can't tell they're "baring their teeth and claws" at all.

Ze Shu was slightly surprised: "Oh?"

This looks like a crested dragon.

Pokémon resurrected from fossils are said to have been the dominant species on land in ancient times. Has the Ogre City Museum mastered the technology to revive Pokémon?

Thinking this, Ze Shu also tossed aside the Poké Ball.

The soldier with the dagger appeared in front of him.

"You changed Pokémon...?" Hyōta was surprised for a moment, then became excited. "Great! After all, your Vulpix was too cute before, and I couldn't bear to kill it! Let's have a good, satisfying battle!"

He continued to encourage them.

"Just do your best! It's okay! Even if you fail this challenge, based on the strength you've shown so far, I'll still give you a badge!"

"Ironhead," Ze Shu interjected.

"Hmm, in that case, Craniosaurus, use your mind... uh..."

Bang! !

Before Piaotai could finish explaining the move he was going to have Craniosaurus use, his mouth got stuck.

The soldier with the dagger, carrying an unparalleled momentum, lowered his body slightly and revealed the extremely sharp axe blade on his head, and rushed straight towards the skull dragon with great speed!

Iron Head!

Despite being called an Iron Head technique, the little soldier Komado actually has a giant axe growing on its head. It didn't forget this "sword" when it was "sharpening" on the metal membrane.

It can also benefit from the 'Sharpness' bonus.

The sharp, axe-like blade struck the skullcap dragon directly, with remarkable and unreserved effectiveness.

The skull dragon didn't even have time to howl before it was sent flying with almost no power to resist. It rolled several times on the ground at high speed before it never got up again.

It was instantly killed in one move.

Hyota was completely stunned, his eyes wide: "Th-th-Cranium Dragon, are you alright...?"

He quickly ran towards the dragon's head.

Da da da—

Seeing that the opposing Pokémon had lost its ability to battle, Pawn did as Sawaki had ordered—to return to his side after the battle.

She trotted back to Ze Shu's side with her little legs, still expressionless, as if she had just used a move casually.

No, it was just a normal use of a move.

After watching Piao Tai finish examining the wounds of the Craniosaurus, he stood up dejectedly.

Ze Shu: "Sorry, I couldn't hold onto my Pokémon..."

Piao Tai abruptly interrupted, "Stop! You're definitely not a rookie trainer!"

Ze Shu looked somewhat innocent: "I didn't say I was."

You could say that. But for the sake of the owner's mental state, he decided not to say it.

Hearing Sawaki's words, Hyōta was stunned for a moment, then seemed to frantically clutch his head, which was covered by a red miner's hat: "How can someone have this kind of strength and hasn't even challenged a gym yet?!"

After his outburst, he was slightly out of breath.

"Here's a coal badge, take it!"

"Today is truly a day of defeat..." He looked at the increasingly boisterous and chaotic stands, his face full of resentment, "Why did they have to be the most complete group here today! Why!"

They watched my most embarrassing day.

Piao Tai was quite helpless.
