Pokémon: Psychic Fighting Master

After the battle with Xiaogang, Xiaogang strongly invited Haoyan to his home.

After a long journey, and it was already getting late, it was time to find a place to rest.

Haoyan agreed.

Xiaogang's home is not far from the Dark Gray Gym.

Xiaogang, who has a rough appearance, keeps his home quite tidy and seems to be a tidy person.

As soon as he entered the house, Xiaogang started cooking.

When you are a guest at someone else's house, the host is busy cooking, and it is not easy for Haoyan, the guest, to wait.

Just help out together.

Xiaogang wanted to hurry up and prepare meals to entertain Haoyan.

But sometimes, the more you want to go fast, the easier it is to have haste rather than speed.

For a moment, he seemed a little confused.

"I'll come too." Haoyan took some vegetables from the kitchen and helped rinse them.

"Haha, I'll trouble you then." Xiaogang scratched his head in embarrassment.

……

After dinner, Xiaogang humbly asked Haoyan for advice.

"Haoyan, I'm good at cultivating and using rock-type Pokémon."

"But you also saw it today. Rock-type Pokémon do not have an advantage in speed. When encountering an opponent like you, it is easy to become passive."

"Is there any way to make them faster, use their excellent attack, and take advantage of their high defense?"

Haoyan took a sip of tea, intending to make friends with Xiaogang, a man with a sense of justice, and shared: "To increase the speed of rock-type Pokémon in battle, you can use the rock polishing skill."

"You must be familiar with this skill."

"However, this skill is not very practical."

Xiaogang nodded when he heard this.

It is true that, as Haoyan said, rock polishing can indeed increase Pokémon's speed by two levels.

But there are two issues involved.

First, most of the rock-type Pokémon are not very fast.

Take Rumble Rock as an example. The speed of Rumble Rock is only 10 points. If you use a rock polish to double the speed, it will only reach 20 points.

As for other Pokémon, even if their speed is not increased, their initial speed is much faster than that of Rumble Rock, which has doubled its speed.

Second, even if the effect after the improvement is very good, an opportunity has been wasted before that.

In other words, when using rocks to polish, you are a living target. You have to withstand one or more attacks from the opponent before you can match the opponent's speed.

If you don't have restraint in attributes, that's okay. Once you have restraint in attributes, you have to endure an extremely effective attack from the opponent before you can counterattack again.

That would be such a loss.

Knowing that Haoyan hadn't finished speaking yet, Xiaogang waited expectantly for Haoyan to continue sharing.

"Actually, in my opinion, there are two skills that may be more useful to you now."

"One of them is a sandstorm, and the other is an invisible rock." Haoyan said slowly.

When Xiaogang heard this, he seemed to have caught something, but he didn't catch it.

He immediately asked: "Haoyan, please tell me in detail."

Haoyan smiled, and continued without hiding anything: "Sandstorm can transform the venue into a venue that is conducive to the performance of rock-type Pokémon."

"In a sandstorm environment, the tolerance of rock-type Pokémon can be enhanced. This can achieve what I just mentioned, using rock polishing to even out the speed gap."

"Secondly, on the basis of sandstorm, invisible rocks can be added to limit the movement of the opponent's Pokémon."

“As long as we can unleash this venue advantage, we can at least take advantage of the three key elements of the right time, right place, right people, and right people.”

"Even if we can't flatten the defects caused by the attributes, we can at least bring them closer."

After listening to Haoyan's sharing, Xiaogang finally understood what the word enlightenment meant.

I deeply feel that inviting Haoyan to my home is a wise move!

Seeing that the conversation with Xiaogang had started, Haoyan also asked: "Xiaogang, I heard that you will use the main battle Pokémon to fight against the trainer. Can I ask why?"

Speaking of this topic, Xiaogang's eyebrows were covered with a layer of worry again.

The atmosphere also became immersed, and he said to Haoyan: "Because, I want to use this method to let me fight against powerful trainers to quickly enhance my fighting experience."

"Secondly, I want to find some strong partners to fight against the Rockets with me."

"Team Rocket?" Xiaogang's reply surprised Haoyan.

Xiaogang continued sadly: "Although you are not from the Kanto area, you must also know that there is a Rocket Team in the Kanto area that specializes in deception and criminal activities."

"The Rockets used to hide underground and engage in illegal activities, but since this time, the Rockets' actions have become more and more blatant."

"It's almost to the point of going crazy!"

"Some time ago, I happened to pass by Viridian Forest and saw a few people from Team Rocket transporting some strange devices into the interior of the forest."

"I immediately followed them, wanting to see what evil activities they were planning, but I was accidentally discovered by them."

"I was defeated by a Team Rocket officer named Lance. Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise I might have stayed in Viridian Forest forever."

"Just a Team Rocket leader can easily defeat me. I'm so weak!"

Haoyan's thoughts began to drift away.

He had just arrived in Kandu from the Fengyuan region.

Within a few days, we heard two incidents of Team Rocket causing trouble.

I couldn't help but sigh: "The Kanto area is really chaotic!"

"Team Rocket is really rampant."

But at the same time, I have to admit that the Rockets are powerful.

It is powerful enough to steal Xiaoxia's Gyarados at will, and a cadre can easily defeat Xiaogang.

You know, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang are serious gym leaders!

This is not a new trainer who is just around the corner!

Since Team Rocket was mentioned, Xiaogang looked at Haoyan expectantly.

He wanted to ask Haoyan if he was willing to fight Team Rocket with him.

Xiaogang recognized Haoyan's strength.

If a trainer like Haoyan joins, then there will be another strength to fight against Team Rocket.

However, Haoyan is not from the Kanto area.

It would be unfair to drag him into this muddy water.

For a moment, Xiaogang didn't know how to speak.

Haoyan saw Xiaogang's scruples and said proactively: "Before coming to Nibi City, I once met Xiaoxia, the gym leader of Hualan City."

"Like you, she has a heart that hates Team Rocket's evil deeds."

"I told her at that time that if she needed help, please contact me at any time and I would definitely help."

"So I think you should have two more companions, don't you think so?"

Xiaogang nodded excitedly, and his frown completely relaxed!
