At the entrance of Nibi Dojo, Tian Lin was finally about to face his first dojo battle. The current dojo master was Xiao Gang. He had just taken over as the dojo trainer from his father not long ago, so he was not very strong. With Tian Lin's current strength, he should be able to handle it.
He pushed open the door of Nibi Dojo and shouted,""Is anyone here? I am Tian Lin from Zhen Xin Town. I am here to challenge Nibi Dojo for the badge.”
After a while, the lights of the dojo were turned on, and a young man with a hedgehog head and squinty eyes walked out of the dojo. It was the dojo's trainer, Xiao Gang.
"Hello, I'm Xiao Gang from Nibbi Dojo. You said you're a trainer from Zhenxin Town, right? I've already recognized three outstanding trainers from Zhenxin Town and got their badges. I wonder how you compare to them.”Xiao Gang said.
" Don't worry, my strength is definitely not inferior to theirs." Tian Lin's face was full of confidence.
" Hmm, that's a good expression. I accept your challenge. The competition will be a two-on-two match. As the challenger, you can replace your Pokémon at will, but the dojo's trainer can't. The one who loses the ability to fight first will lose. Do you understand?"”
Tian Lin expressed that he understood. Xiao Gang nodded and brought Tian Lin to a rocky arena. Both sides stood still and the match began.
" Let's go, Little Fist Stone." Xiao Gang's vanguard was Little Fist Stone.
"Then I'll let you take the lead on my side. Flying Mantis, this is your first battle after becoming my partner.”Tian Lin encouraged. Tian Lin did not use the iron dumbbell. Although its strength was acceptable, it had just been born today. Now was not the time for it to fight.
"Use the Flying Mantis? Are you a beginner? Although the Flying Mantis is very strong, it has both the Insect and Flying Elements. It is completely countered by my Rock Element Pokemon.”Xiao Gang said in surprise. He had clearly felt that the other party was not simple, but why would they make such a mistake?
" Don't worry, I have my own tactics," Tian Lin said.
"Alright, I hope you're not bluffing. As the challenger, you go first.”
" Then I won't stand on ceremony. Flying Mantis, use Sword Dance," Tian Lin ordered. The Flying Mantis waved its dual blades, and long swords appeared around it, instantly greatly increasing the Flying Mantis's attack power. The Flying Mantis's already sharp dual blades were now even more sharp.
" A tactic to increase attack power? That's useless against my Little Fist Stone. Little Fist Stone, use Circle," Xiao Gang also ordered Little Fist Stone to increase its defense.
In the first round, both sides did not recklessly challenge each other. They both chose to strengthen themselves.
" Just as I thought. When facing the Flying Mantis after the Sword Dance, you really chose to increase your defense. However, I didn't think of winning this match by relying on my attack power. You've fallen into my trap, Xiao Gang," Tian Lin thought silently.
" Flying Mantis, use your wings to attack." Hearing Tian Lin's words, the Flying Mantis did not hesitate. It flapped its wings and attacked the small fist stone. The small fist stone moved slowly and did not dodge this move. However, Xiao Gang was not in a hurry. The wing attack did not have much effect on the small fist stone. After withstanding it, it became round again and increased its defense again.
" Little Fist Stone, use Smash!"" Flying Mantis, use Split!" Both sides ordered at the same time. Then, the two ultimate skills collided. Little Fist Stone increased its defense, but its attack power did not change. Facing the Flying Mantis after the sword dance, it only lasted for a while before it was shaken away. However, with its high defense and two rounds of physical defense, it did not feel any pain or itch.
" Since that's the case, use the rockfall skill." Little Fist Rock spread out his fists, and suddenly, falling rocks smashed towards the Flying Mantis.
"Flying Mantis, use all your strength to execute Combo Slash while charging towards the direction of the small fist stone.”The Flying Mantis brandished its scythe. The Combo skill was a skill that gradually increased in power as it was used. At the beginning, the Flying Mantis could not completely split the rocks, and some of the rocks would fall on its body. However, after a few slashes, the attack power that had been strengthened by the Sword Dance and the powerful Combo directly split the rocks one after another. The Flying Mantis charged at the small fist stone with an indomitable will, and the Combo hit his body. Even the defense of the small fist stone was damaged by this combo. The small fist stone immediately stabilized its body. It was not suitable to use falling rocks at such a close distance. The small fist stone directly collided with it, but this time, the Flying Mantis did not dodge or block. It only raised its two knives to take the attack.
" From the split just now to the combo now, none of these skills can cause any effective damage to the little fist stone, but I keep feeling like you're planning something," Xiao Gang seemed to have sensed something.
"Did you notice it? But it's too late. Flying Mantis, use the vacuum wave.”The Flying Mantis used the super close combat special attack skill, Vacuum Wave, and perfectly hit the small fist stone in front of it. Although Tian Lin's Flying Mantis was indeed an object attack and its special attack was not high, the small fist stone's special defense was also pitifully low. It could not be defended by turning into a circle. It was hit by the vacuum wave at close range and directly fell to the ground.
Xiao Gang was confused and said gloomily,""There's such a thing? I know now. Your sword dance wasn't meant to attack from the start, but to offset the impact of the small fist stone and increase the attack power to break the falling rock. This is simply using the sword dance for defense. I really didn't expect this move to be used like this!”
Xiao Gang took back the small fist stone and said," I apologize for underestimating you just now. You're very strong, but it won't be so simple in the future. Come on, Rock Snake."”
Xiao Gang sent out the Rock Snake, which was about Intermediate Elite. Seeing this, Tian Lin also recalled the Flying Mantis and sent out the Wood Guardians. Facing the Rock Snake, this was a good opportunity for the Wood Guardians to grow.
"Wooden Guardians? You sent Pokemon with very advantageous attributes. I wonder how strong he is."
" Wood Guardians, you've won so many battles with opposing attributes. It's rare for you to have an advantage in attributes today. It'll be embarrassing if you lose," Tian Lin said. Wood Guardians 'eyes became serious. The Flying Mantis had just won, so he would not lose now.
"The wooden gecko is a Pokémon with very fast speed, right? Then I'll show you my favorite skill, the Giant Rock Snake.”The Giant Rock Snake used Rock Seal. Tian Lin knew that this was bad. Not only would he be injured by this move, but he would also be slowed down. He immediately ordered the wooden guard to hide.
" It's not that easy to dodge. I told you that this is my Rock Snake's proudest skill," Xiao Gang said with a smile. There were many rocks in the sky, and it was indeed difficult to dodge. It seemed that the other party had practiced this skill to perfection. However, Tian Lin had an idea and thought of a way to break through the rock blockade in the Pikachu area of Carlos.
"Wooden Guardians, use your ultimate skill, Slapping, to hit the rock. Use the rock to borrow strength and dodge the opponent's ultimate skill.”Wood Guardians used their tails to hit the rocks in the sky, using their petite bodies to barely dodge the attacks of the rocks. This method surprised Xiao Gang. This trainer was really good at surprising people. He had already thought that he might not be able to keep his badge today, but he would not easily admit defeat.
" It's our turn to counterattack. Wood Guogong, use Million Ton Absorption." Wood Guogong's Million Ton Absorption hit the Giant Rock Snake, causing a huge amount of damage. However, Xiao Gang's Giant Rock Snake was not to be underestimated. Its low defense was actually able to withstand the attack. This time, it was Wood Guogong who revealed an opening.
" Great Rock Snake, use Bind now and tie it up." At such a close distance, Wood Guogong could not dodge and was bound by the Great Rock Snake. Wood Guogong struggled with all its might, but its strength was far lower than the Great Rock Snake. It could not break free at all." Very good, Great Rock Snake, use Knock." The Great Rock Snake swung its tail and knocked Wood Guogong directly. This move dealt quite a bit of damage.
"Wood Guogong, quickly stand up. If you fall now, all your efforts will be in vain!”Tian Lin encouraged it. At this time, even Tian Lin could not help much. Everything had to depend on the wooden guard.
" Final Rock Seal!" Xiao Gang followed up with another attack. The Rock Snake once again used its signature skill, this time it hit the wooden gecko and pinned it down.
"That's all for the Wooden Guardians. Send out the Flying Mantis again. Although the Wooden Guardians lost, my Rock Serpent doesn't have much stamina left. I believe you can get the badge.”Xiao Gang said.
At this moment, Tian Lin smiled and said,"No, not yet. My wooden gecko has not lost yet. I can feel it. The burning fighting spirit of the wooden gecko is so hot that I don't dare to touch it.”
" What?" Xiao Gang was shocked and looked at the pile of rocks.
At this moment, waves of white light shot out from the pile of rocks and shook the surrounding rocks. The wooden gecko inside stood up with a flash of light. Its body began to gradually change. It began to evolve.
When the light dissipated, a handsome forest lizard appeared.
Senke Lizard, evolved form of the Wooden Guarding Palace, Intermediate Elite, has skills: Slap, Glaring, Lightning Flash, Million Ton Absorption, Blade Leaf, Combo.
His strength had improved greatly, and he had even learned the signature skill Blade Leaf and Insect Chain Slash. Tian Lin smiled and said,"The real battle has just begun. Forest Lizard, use Blade Leaf.”
After evolving, the Forest Lizard's attack and speed had been greatly improved. The Rock Snake, which did not have much stamina left, could not resist at all. It was directly hit by the blade.
"Looks like we lost!" Xiao Gang smiled calmly. The giant rock snake fell to the ground and lost its ability to fight.
" Well done, Senke Lizard!" Tian Lin praised.
" It was a very exciting battle. I lost. This is proof of your victory. Nebi Dojo's gray badge. Please accept it," Xiao Gang said as he handed over a badge.
" Thank you." This was what he deserved. Tian Lin did not stand on ceremony and immediately picked up the gray badge.
