Pokémon: The Bold Rat

Leaving the affairs of the city to Captain Qin, Zhao Yiyuan himself boarded the Pidgeot issued by the military and chased after the fleeing captain.

"Bi~"

Although the Pidgeot equipped by the regiment was only at an advanced level, its speed was far beyond that of the Toucan. After chasing for a while, it saw its outline in front.

"Damn it! Toucan, turn right, let's go over there."

As the captain, Tanaka Ichiyama usually lived a very comfortable life. He thought that the target he was assigned this time was just a small town, which he could easily take over and plunder.

Unexpectedly, he ran into the city lord head-on, and the seemingly small military leader was very powerful. Fortunately, he escaped quickly, otherwise he was caught up again.

"Jie~"

Looking at the direction his trainer instructed, a trace of fear flashed in the Toucan's eyes, but he still flapped his wings and flew away under the trainer's firm command.

This place is just at the junction of the inner and outer areas, and it is impossible for professional-level elves to appear there.

As long as he is not short of a big realm, he is confident that he can win.

Not long after, the two people who were getting closer and closer landed in a forest.

As soon as Zhao Yiyuan sent out Sandslash and Rattata, the captain of Team Rocket threatened:

“Boy, you’ve been chasing me for so long, you’ve had enough.

There is a blind old Nidoking here with a very bad temper. If we fight, we will definitely attract it here, and then no one will be able to leave.

If you let me go, then our Rockets will naturally let you, Huyan Town, go!"

"Oh?"

"I don't know where you got the confidence to let Hu Yancheng go."

Zhao Yiyuan, who wanted to defeat the enemy quickly, became interested when he heard this and asked immediately.

But just as the man was about to open his mouth to answer, a threatening shout was heard not far away.

"Nido!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Amid the billowing smoke and dust, a dark purple Nidoking with a disabled left eye and scars and wrinkles all over his body appeared in front of the two.

Judging from the bloodthirsty eyes, there was obviously no possibility of communication.

"Roar!"

When it saw humans invading its territory, it attacked with a Shadow Claw without thinking.

"Rumble Rock, protect me!"

Feeling the strong wind pressure, Tanaka Ichiyama immediately climbed to the top of Rumbling Rock.

"Cool cough!"

Unexpectedly, the old Nidoking slapped the Pokémon and the human away with one claw.

"Bang!" It hit a big tree hard.

Rhydon was fine, as he had a stone body and was an elf, he just couldn't get up for a while. However, the captain, who was not wearing protective clothing and didn't even have time to release his self-protection elite shield, was directly knocked unconscious.

This is also a disadvantage of the elite shield being intentionally retracted or extended.

At the elite level, when a trainer possesses the source of supernatural powers, a self-protection shield will be formed outside the body, just like a guard. As for the defensive power, it varies from person to person. The skills practiced by the trainer, the attributes and strength of the Pokémon under his command are all influencing factors.

But generally the weakest one can withstand a full-strength attack from someone at the same level, and can also respond to stress.

Sounds good!

But this response is not very intelligent.

As long as the body senses danger, it will be activated immediately.

And with the weak bodies of humans, even if they cultivate to the elite level and possess the source of supernatural powers, it is just the beginning for the elves.

Therefore, a sharp knife is a threat, a bunch of cold arrows, and even a high-level elf passing by is a threat.

This also caused the elite-level shields to be disobedient, which led to a large number of scholars and experts studying the characteristics of the shields, and then developed the ability to retract and release the shields autonomously, allowing trainers to return to their daily lives.

But there are also disadvantages. The biggest one is what happened to the captain of Team Rocket just now. Since it is controlled by humans, conscious control is definitely slower than subconscious control. If he cannot react in time, he will naturally be beaten in vain or even killed.

Back to topic.

Since his target was knocked unconscious and couldn't run away for a while, Zhao Yiyuan looked straight at the old Nidoking who suddenly appeared.

He seemed to have seen this elf in the documents issued by the military.

[Elf]: Nidoking (Deterioration of the Physical Body)

[Level]: LV62-2 (Physical Decay)

【Moves】:

Mastery: Shadow Claw, Super Horn, Strength of the Earth

Skilled: Fire Fist, Frost Fist, Poison Sting, Double Kick...

When he was taking private lessons at Jingnan Military Engineering School, he still remembers the first class he had with Teacher Luo Qun.

Never underestimate the elves who live to old age in the wild!

The fact that it can survive to the end of its life in the even more cruel wilderness proves its strength. Even when it is old, it is still the overlord in this area.

At first, Zhao Yiyuan didn't understand, because since the day he became a trainer, he had never seen any old Pokémon.

We have seen them in three stages: cubs, newly grown, and mature. Among them, mature are the most common, and we have killed the most.

But now that he had actually seen an old Nidoking, he understood.

Level 62, and exceeding the career (gym) threshold of level 61, which means that this Nidoking was once a gym-level Pokémon, and is qualified to lead a clan even in the depths of the forest or the depths of the Moon Viewing Mountains.

Although his body has decayed due to his longevity, he still remains at the elite level. Coupled with the various skills he learned from nowhere and his many years of experience in fighting enemies, he is indeed not something that ordinary elites can deal with.

If we really fight to the death, I'm afraid even those who have just entered the gym cannot afford to give it a try.

It was indeed not unfair for that Rhydon to be slapped away by a claw.

After all, Rhydon is just at the elite level and can't even use elemental burst.

Even though the old Nidoking's body was decayed, he was once a gym-level Pokémon that had been promoted after completing the elemental body forging.

The power of the two is simply not on the same level.

"Nido!"

At this time, after staring for a while, Nidoking decided to take action.

Although this human elf brought it a sense of danger, its territory could not be offended. This was its last dignity.

The older you get and the closer you get to death, the more confused your mind becomes, or in other words, the less you think and the more stubborn you become.

This is talking about the current state of old Nidoking.

The right foot was raised high, and the yellow ground energy condensed, ready to use the power of the earth.

But it never thought that the Rada and Sandslash on the opposite side were faster.

"Shhhhhh!"

Several white lights shot directly onto its legs.

"Kakaka!"

A large amount of ice spread, and the stinging coldness brought back some of Nidoking's sanity.

Flames condensed in his right fist, and with a "bang", they shattered the ice on the surface of his body.

After elemental body forging, the elf's entire body can be said to have been tempered like fine steel. Generally, those with extraordinary physical talents have no advantage at this stage.

It can be understood that the elves who can reach the elite limit and complete the elemental body will possess the talent of steel bones, and it is a fully developed version.

The difference between a talented Pokémon and an untalented Pokémon was already evident in the case of Swampert.

Therefore, it can be said that the elite at the extreme end can really crush the elves who have just entered the elite stage.

Since he didn't see that Rhydon had gotten up, he didn't dare to run away. He could only stay tremblingly beside his trainer, waiting for the result.

It knew it couldn't run away. It was not a fast Pokémon to begin with, and with the unconscious trainer on its back, it walked even slower. Either the man with Pidgeot or the slightly old Nidoking would be able to catch up with it.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to wait for the trainer to wake up. Maybe there will be a better solution.

Back to the battlefield.

Both Rada and Sandslash were a little surprised that their freezing beams were broken so quickly.

But seeing Nidoking rushing towards them, the two Pokémons immediately had an idea.

"Purada~Rada!"

"Kujiakuga!"

At the elite level, it is necessary to cultivate the elves' independent combat awareness, because after reaching the elite level, the elves' reaction ability far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Even a trainer with the Source of Supernatural Power is no match for the Pokémon, so in a battle, all the trainer has to do is set the general direction, and the Pokémon can react to other battle details themselves.

Just now, Rada had formulated a strategy. Sandslash entangled Nidoking in close combat, and it used ranged moves to cause damage.

This proposal was naturally approved by Zhao Yiyuan.

"Mountain King, a fortress of steel, play with it!"

"Ku!"

Suddenly, the ice-blue Sandshrew glowed with a silvery-white light.

"Ugh~"

It was as if the surface was covered with a layer of metal film, and then it rushed towards Nidoking's fist.

"Bang bang bang!"

“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”

Although the Sandshrew has just entered a high-level realm and has just started elemental body tempering, don't forget that it has the talent of steel bones, coupled with the blessing of steel attribute power, so it actually has the upper hand.

After all, no matter how Nidoking hits, he is hitting steel, while Sandslash's claws can always make a hole in it.

In addition, Rada next to him shot out a freezing beam from time to time to hinder his movements. Soon, the old Nidoking's desire for life overwhelmed his dignity. He no longer attacked with all his strength, but began to look for opportunities to escape.

Also looking for an opportunity to escape was Tanaka Kazuyama, who had just woken up.

[Damn, what kind of monster is the mayor of Huyan City!

Even Nidoking can't beat him! Who assigned me the task? 】

After taking a sip of medicine, he quietly let Rhydon lead him to dig a hole.

As long as we dig a certain distance and let the toucan fly with it, there is a high probability that we can escape, right?

But just when Longlongyan started to dig, a water gun "bang" blasted him away.

"Quack~"

Suddenly, a Gotha duck holding a branch appeared above the tree in front of them.

With a light tap of his claws, "bang bang bang!" several water guns fell near Rhodon and himself, full of threat.

If you want to run, have you asked your Gotha Duck Grandpa?

"No, no, we won't run. We'll be obedient and listen to your instructions."

When the water gun grazed his scalp, Tanaka Ichiyama remembered that he still had an elite shield. He immediately deployed it, raised his hands, squatted down, and surrendered.

This is what he found in the Dongxia Alliance. This is the posture of this country's surrender.

The old Nidoking on the opposite side became very angry after failing to retreat several times.

"Nido!"

With a loud shout, the purple elemental mark on his forehead glowed, and a large amount of poison energy gathered into a ball of purple sludge.

"Shhhhhh!"

Directly fire sludge bombs indiscriminately!

"Hold on!"

"Protect yourself first!"

Sandslash and Rada, who originally wanted to fight hard, paused after hearing this, and still obediently used the Hold On skill. At the same time, Zhao Yiyuan also called out his elite shield.

"Gah!"

The same is true for the Gotha Duck.

"Bang bang bang!"

In the violent explosion, you can hear the thumping sound of Nidoking fleeing, as well as the "sizzling" corrosive sound of venom splashing all around.

When the poison and smoke dissipated, the originally good forest looked like it had been burned by a fire. There were black marks everywhere, and the ground was even more bumpy.

Poison is only an average attribute before the elite, but after the elite, it is one of the most difficult attributes to provoke.

In the final analysis, poisons that have been tempered by elemental power have extraordinary properties.

It is no longer something that can be cured by ordinary detoxification potions. Even the most expensive special antidote sold in the store can only effectively curb the elite poison. If you want to completely remove it, the fastest way is naturally to go to the Elf Center for a check-up and then prescribe the right detoxification medicine.

Otherwise, they can only rely on the elves' own physical fitness to withstand it.

So, it's very difficult.

That's why Zhao Yiyuan didn't let Lada and the others resist just now.

An old Nidoking that is dying and has degraded in strength, even if captured alive and handed over to the Alliance, is at most worth the value of an intact elite, which is not worth it.

When it comes to poison, every elf has its own unique method. What if it leaves some root of disease behind?

You know, even though it’s old, the toxins will become more and more potent as it ferments.

He was sure that the poison of that Nidoking was still at the gym level.

"Pulada~Rada!"

Rada was a little depressed because he didn't find Nidoking.

At most he'll get slightly injured, and he can take down that Nidoking by himself.

"Haha~ No need to take risks, Lada."

After saying a few words of comfort, Zhao Yiyuan gestured to the two mice to follow him.

On the other side, Tanaka Ichizan, who was protected by Rhydon, was also fine.

There were several large holes corroded on the stone body of Longlongyan, and there was a look of pain visible on his face.

"Sir, do you have a special antidote? Please, give me one.

Whatever you want to ask, I will tell you, I will tell you!"

Seeing Zhao Yiyuan walk in, Tanaka Yishan immediately knelt down and begged for medicine.

This Rhydon is the initial Pokémon that grew up with him. As a minion, the only options at that time were Geodude, Zubat, and Gas Bomb.

The original elves are always different in my heart.

"Here, take it. Two will help you get better faster."

Zhao Yiyuan had no objection to this and even gave one more.

Although this type of stone Pokémon has many weaknesses, it is highly resistant to poison, fire, and electricity, especially poison.

Since they are not made of flesh and blood, they can heal themselves from most poisons. They are not afraid and dare to block the sword for their trainers.

"thanks, thanks."

He picked up the two potions as if they were treasures and fed them all to the weak Rhydon. When he felt Rhydon's breath stabilized, he put it back into the Poké Ball.

"My Lord, what do you want to ask?"
