People in the Elf: God rewards hard work and I become stronger at the speed of light Chapter 178

“That’s interesting……”

Feeling the formidable fighting spirit emanating from Erika, Bai Ze’s eyebrows slightly raised…… Originally, he thought Erika was a gentle type of trainer, but he didn’t expect her fighting spirit to be so high?

Immediately after, the discussions of several girls from the Celadon Gym in the stands also came.

“It’s Vileplume?”

“Miss Erika actually went all out in the first battle? This is her initial Pokémon!”

“I don’t know, maybe it’s because her fighting spirit was ignited? After all, the trainers who came out of Pallet Town before were all very formidable……”

Tsk tsk~

Starting with her initial Pokémon, going all out,

This little temper doesn’t seem like a Grass-type trainer at all!

[Introduction: A Vileplume with excellent aptitude, with an extraordinary talent for utilizing powders, and astonishing coordination.]

“Peak Quasi-Elite, huh……”

Bai Ze pushed up the sunglasses that had slipped down, and a hint of doubt flashed through his dazzling eyes that were covered by them…… He could understand everything else, but what did this ‘astonishing coordination’ mean?

Except for a very few, Grass-type Pokémon are notoriously slow.

And Vileplume’s mobility is even more touching.

If that’s the case,

What’s the meaning of this so-called ‘astonishing coordination’?

While he had doubts in his mind, Bai Ze also decided which Pokémon he would send out next.

“Beedrill, let’s battle.”

With a calm voice and no special release action, he lightly pressed the button and held his arm level. In the red light that shot out, the Mega Beedrill, like a metallic creation, transformed and appeared.

It floated silently in the center of the field, its cold, crimson gaze fixed on its opponent.

“This is…… an aberrant and shiny Mega Beedrill?” Erika’s small mouth slightly opened, her eyes filled with wonder.

Although she liked Grass-type Pokémon.

However.

In the Pokémon world, rare and precious Pokémon always amaze people…… The young ladies in the stands were already chattering away at this moment.

Bai Ze nodded slightly.

After a brief moment of surprise, Erika quickly recovered and said, “Then, let’s officially begin. According to the rules of a Gym battle, the challenger attacks first.”

“Alright.”

Bai Ze nodded slightly, giving the order without any hesitation: “Beedrill, Agility! Use Twineedle attack!”

Erika was indeed a beautiful woman of captivating charm, but as long as it was a battle, Bai Ze would not hold back.

Going all out was also a sign of respect for his opponent!

What’s more.

A Vileplume like this, with an extreme abundance of status moves, also possesses Stun Spore, Poison Powder, and Sleep Powder, as well as its unique Pollen Puff.

Once dragged into the opponent’s rhythm, especially in a limited-space field battle.

If the opponent spreads their pollen.

Beedrill, lacking flying moves that counter powders, would be in a difficult situation!

The best way to counter a status-oriented Pokémon like Vileplume is with various status-targeting psychic attacks.

Especially Dark-type Taunt.

It directly locks the opponent’s status moves for a certain period, making it arguably the most suitable first-strike move against Vileplume.

But unfortunately.

Beedrill cannot use any of the above methods.

Because its current move pool is almost entirely composed of offensive moves.

Therefore.

Bai Ze simply decided to be straightforward. Difficult to deal with? Can’t lock it down? Then I’ll just go for a quick attack, not giving you a chance to react, and try to take you out in one go!

Buzz—

Beedrill instantly flapped its wings and transitioned from stillness to motion, leaving a trail of afterimages in mid-air. Following an erratic path, it crossed half the field in a blink of an eye, closing in on Vileplume.

Everyone just felt a blink of an eye; the initial afterimage of Beedrill hadn’t even dissipated when another Beedrill appeared behind Vileplume!

Its twin needles raised high.

Like two deadly long spears, they thrust straight towards Vileplume’s indigo-blue body beneath its giant flower!

So fast!

Erika’s apricot-shaped eyes widened. Beedrill’s speed was somewhat beyond her expectations.

However, even though the first move was lost, Erika and Vileplume’s reactions made everyone present’s eyes light up!

“Grassy Glide!”

Swish—

Amidst the sudden shout, Vileplume stumbled forward as if its feet had slipped.

At the same time, a bright green glow lit up at its feet, as if oil had been applied to Vileplume’s soles. Maintaining its body tilted backward, it glided at an angle almost scraping the ground, narrowly avoiding Beedrill!

Rip—

But even so, the largest petals on Vileplume’s head were still cut open by two considerable gashes from Beedrill’s rapidly approaching needles.

However, these minor injuries were negligible for Vileplume.

The giant petals were not its main body.

Its small, indigo-blue body beneath was Vileplume’s true essence!

Similarly, after paying this negligible price, it also took the opportunity to distance itself from Beedrill, successfully escaping from Beedrill’s deadly twin needles.

And, after gliding a certain distance, it spun in place and stood up steadily again.

“Excellent!”

Seeing this, Bai Ze couldn’t help but secretly applaud Erika’s quick thinking and Vileplume’s mobility.

At the same time, he finally understood what ‘astonishing coordination’ on the data panel meant earlier…… This Vileplume was indeed exceptionally well-trained!
