I, Xiao Mao, want to become a Pokémon Master!

"Awakened the ability to pray for rain, not bad."

Wartortle's base stats include the Water-type move Aqua Tail, which should awaken before level 30. However, Gary's Wartortle only awakened Rain Dance.

It's okay if you don't awaken the Water Flow Tail; Water Flow Breaker is still more useful than Water Flow Tail.

"Crack...!!"

Wartortle was dumbfounded. Its trainer could not only help it learn new skills, but also increase its level. It was terrifying.

"Good luck in the upcoming battle." To ensure a safe start, Xiao Shi also equipped Wartortle with a top-tier Mystic Water Drop.

With these two preparations, Xiao Mao refused to believe that he couldn't defeat Xiao Ming's pangolin.

Xiao Mao was so cautious because Xiao Ming's Sandshrew was very strong. That Sandshrew knew the Earth Shatter, a move that could kill in one hit, which was not something that ordinary Pokémon could master.

Xiao Mao estimated that Xiao Ming's Sandshrew was definitely over level 30, and the reason it hadn't evolved into Sandshrew was because Xiao Ming wanted to hold onto its level so that the Sandshrew could awaken its racial skills as soon as possible.

"come in."

After strengthening Wartortle, Gary recalled Wartortle and rode his mountain bike to the entrance of the enclosure.

Even from the outside, you can see a huge electronic display screen inside the fence, showing a 78-game winning streak.

The number of consecutive wins is slightly different from what the boy in the baseball cap said, but the difference is not significant. It seems that Xiaoming has won another game recently.

After all, he's been holding this contest for so long, and the trainers around him are all pretty clear about how strong Xiaoming is, so this winning streak is quite impressive.

"Is there anyone?"

Xiao Mao didn't rush in; instead, he shouted loudly at the door.

Before long, a young man wearing an orange and brown striped shirt came out. His face was resolute, and he looked like someone who had been through a lot. Just his demeanor alone was far superior to that of the random trainers.

"You look unfamiliar. You're not a local trainer, are you?" Xiaoming said proactively.

"Yes, my name is Shigeru, and I come from Pallet Town."

Xiao Shigeru said, "I heard from the trainers around here that you are very good, so I came here specifically to learn from you."

"No problem, come in then." Xiaoming was much more mature than the trainers on the roadside. He was polite and didn't say anything arrogant or harsh, but his face was full of confidence, which was confidence in his own strength.

Xiaoming led Xiaomao into the dojo. Inside, there was a fighting platform made of mud and a fairly large tent. Although it was simple, it had almost everything.

Xiao Mao knew that the tent was a special space that Xiao Ming had created for training Pokémon.

Although it's unclear why Xiaoming spent so much money, building such a dojo in the wild must have cost a fortune.

Moreover, after achieving a 100-game winning streak, Xiaoming will embark on a journey to collect mobile phone badges, and this place will naturally be abandoned. He's really rich and powerful.

Chapter 27: Breaking Xiaoming's 100-Win Streak

Xiao Mao and Xiao Ming arrived at the command area on the field.

Xiao Mao spoke first, asking, "How do we fight?"

“You can use as many Pokémon as you want, but I only need one,” Xiaoming said.

"Are you sure?" Xiao Mao wondered if he had misheard. Xiao Ming didn't only have one Pokémon.

Wanting one Pokémon to defeat all of your own Pokémon? That's just showing off!

"Of course I'm sure, it's my spirit."

"The duel begins, come on, Sandshrew!"

Without further ado, Xiaoming threw out the Poké Ball.

Baton!

A pangolin with a size that is clearly beyond normal specifications makes its appearance.

A normal pangolin is only 0.6 meters tall, but Xiaoming's pangolin is one meter tall, almost twice the size of a normal pangolin.

【LV33 Sandshrew♂/King】

"He actually has the potential to become a superstar, not bad."

In all this time, aside from Squirtle and Ash's Pikachu, this is the first time Gary has seen such a high-potential Pokémon among other trainers.

"Warturion, it's your turn now." Gary stopped wasting time. Since Gary wanted to pretend, let him experience the taste of defeat he hadn't felt in so long.

Baton!

"Kami!"

Wartortle stared at Sandshrew, a surge of joy in its heart. It had fought Sandshrew on the road before and knew that its type was superior to Sandshrew's.

"It's Wartortle!" Xiaoming was shocked. He hadn't expected the other party to have a Pokémon that could counter Sandshrew.

But it doesn't matter. With a 77-game winning streak, he has already fought countless battles against opponents with opposing attributes.

"Let's begin then." Xiaoming took out a whip, lashed it against the ground, and commanded, "Use Dig to approach Wartortle."

The pangolin used its digging ability to move very quickly, disappearing underground in the blink of an eye.

"Use the rainmaking spell!" Xiao Mao commanded.

"Kami!"

Wartortle shouted at the sky, and a layer of dark clouds quickly formed above the field, starting to drizzle.

Just then, the ground beneath Wartortle's feet collapsed, and Squirtle broke free, using its body to send Wartortle flying.

"Spin at high speed!"

The Wartortle, which had been thrown into the air, immediately retracted into its shell, spun rapidly, and then charged toward Sandshrew.

"Quickly, get underground." Seeing that Wartortle hadn't fallen, Xiaoming knew that its level was not low, and he dared not let Sandshrew fight it head-on again.

The pangolin immediately burrowed underground.

"Keep using this method, employing water-bursting attacks on the ground," Xiaoming commanded.

As the Wartortle spins at high speed, water flows around its shell, transforming into a water blade. With the added force of its high-speed rotation, the water blade spins even faster, increasing its power.

When the water blade touches the ground, the ground is easily cut open as if it were tofu.

With a loud bang, the water blade seemed to strike something underground, exploding into a cloud of white mist.

Immediately, a figure rushed out from the white mist. It was Xiaoming's Sandshrew. At this moment, Sandshrew's body was already wet with water, obviously hit by Wartortle's Water Burst.

"It didn't fall down." Xiao Mao was quite surprised. It seemed that Xiao Ming's resistance training was effective. The pangolin had withstood the water flow and broken.

"Sandshrew, are you alright?" Xiaoming asked with concern as soon as the sandshrew landed.

"Wow!"

Sandshrew responded with a strong and resounding voice, its eyes fixed on Wartortle. The attack it had just delivered had caused considerable damage to Sandshrew.

"Fire the water guns in rapid succession!" Xiao Mao commanded.

Wartortle puffed out its cheeks and sprayed out jets of water the size of tennis balls in a rapid burst.

"Go underground!" Xiao Ming lashed the ground with his whip.

The pangolin immediately burrowed underground to avoid the water gun.

Looking at the Sandshrew on the ground, Xiao Mao felt a little annoyed and decided that he must teach Wartortle how to use Earthquake in the future.

Xiao Ming didn't rush to launch an attack, but waited for an opportunity, and the two sides remained deadlocked.

Snapped!

However, in the blink of an eye, Xiaoming suddenly brandished his whip and commanded, "Use Rollout to attack!"

boom! !

The ground shattered, and the Sandshrew, its body rounded, burst out of the ground, flipping Wartortle over. Coincidentally, Wartortle landed on its shell, leaving it unable to stand up for a moment.

"Great opportunity! Use Earth Shatter!" Xiao Ming shouted.

"Wow!"

The sand rat plummeted toward the tortoise.

"Water gun barrage!" Xiao Mao immediately retaliated.

Wartortle quickly sprayed water guns, but Sandshrew didn't care at all and tried to use Earth Shatter even with its body.

"They're really tenacious, but that trick won't work. Use Defend." Xiao Mao immediately changed his command.

A green barrier is summoned in front of Wartortle.

boom! !

The pangolin's palm, imbued with terrifying energy, struck the barrier, only to be repelled.

Wartortle stood up and faced the Sandshrew that had been flung away.

"Water Wave!"

Wartortle opened its mouth and sprayed a water ball, which quickly hit the Sandshrew.

Bang! !

The effect is outstanding!!

The pangolin was knocked to the ground, lying there with its eyes darting around, unable to fight.

"I actually...lost!" Xiaoming was in disbelief, and the confidence on his face vanished in an instant.

"Wartorium, well done!" Gary praised.

"Kami! Kami!"

Wartortle also made a victory V sign.

This battle wasn't exactly easy; it was a close call. If Sandshrew hadn't held on, its desperate Earth Shatter would have instantly killed Wartortle.

The Earth Shatter skill is a one-hit kill; it can instantly kill targets with a lower level than the user.

Squirtle is 3 levels lower than Sandshrew and will be instantly killed by Earthquake.

This sand rat is especially strong in defense; it can even withstand three or four water-type moves.

It's worth noting that Xiao Mao's Wartortle had already used a top-tier Mystic Water Drop, and with the added boost from the rain, the power of its Water-type moves increased by 70%. Even with that, it still couldn't be one-shotted, which shows just how strong this Sandshrew's defense is.
