Chapter 226: The Opportunity to Visit the Pathless Great Pit
Chapter 226: The Opportunity to Visit the Pathless Great Pit
However, the Scyther wasn't immediately incapacitated by its partner's, a mountain goat Pokemon's, attack.
It staggered to its feet, its gaze fixed on the mountain goat with a profound intensity.
Then, with a loud thud, the Scyther knelt directly on the grassy field.
Straight Tree was slightly taken aback by this, and the mountain goat Pokemon also blinked in confusion.
What was going on? Was its opponent surrendering?
No, it wasn't surrendering!
Straight Tree's internal alarm bells rang loudly, recognizing Scyther's unique move, "Techni-Blade"!
By kneeling, it aimed to lower its opponent's guard, only to launch a sudden surprise attack when they least expected it.
It was an extremely underhanded and despicable tactic!
If a Pokemon had encountered this situation before, they might have been more cautious and avoided the attack.
But the crucial issue here was that the mountain goat Pokemon had never faced such a strategy before!
Straight Tree wanted to warn them, but suddenly realized that this was an autonomous Pokemon battle, and he couldn't interfere by speaking out.
"Meeeh?"
The mountain goat Pokemon took a step forward, looking slightly confused as if it wanted to check on its opponent.
Just as it entered the attack range, the giant scythe on the Scyther's head suddenly emanated a strong malicious aura.
Then, the Scyther rammed its head into the ground, and with its movement, the giant scythe slashed directly at the mountain goat Pokemon.
"Boom!"
The Techni-Blade hit a vital spot, and the mountain goat Pokemon let out a painful bleat, "Meeeeeh!"
Taking advantage of its pain, the Scyther abruptly stood up, its body shimmering with a faint light, intending to end the battle before the grassy field could heal the mountain goat.
Just then, Ye Ci's voice rang out from behind it, "That's enough, stop!"
The Scyther paused in its tracks and then retracted its aura, retreating to Ye Ci's side.
Once again, the grassy field surged with vitality, nourishing and restoring the mountain goat Pokemon's strength.
The mountain goat Pokemon stood up, its determined gaze filled with anger as it looked at the Scyther across from it.
"Meeeh!"
This Pokemon had no sense of battle etiquette!
The other two mountain goat Pokemon also ran over and glared at the Scyther.
Seeing these pure and honest mountain goats, Ye Ci suddenly felt a twinge of guilt, "I'm sorry."
Straight Tree sighed and walked forward helplessly. Although he knew that Techni-Blade was Scyther's signature move, it was indeed underhanded and despicable to use it against Pokemon who had never encountered it before.
Straight Tree reached out and stroked the mountain goat Pokemon's head to soothe their emotions, patiently explaining Scyther's actions.
"It wasn't the Scyther's intention to sneak attack you maliciously. That's just its move, and since you haven't encountered it before, you had no experience dealing with it. But now you know, and if you encounter such a situation again, you'll know what to do, right?" Straight Tree asked.
The mountain goat Pokemon looked at him, thought carefully for a moment, and then nodded, "Meeeh!"
"Good boy," Straight Tree smiled as he ruffled their necks affectionately, "Alright, that's it for today. Go and eat your grass dumplings!"
At the mention of grass dumplings, the mountain goat Pokemon forgot about the underhanded Scyther and turned to run off.
Only then did Straight Tree stand up and turn to face Ye Ci.
Ye Ci looked at him with a puzzled expression in her eyes, reflecting on the battle that had just taken place, "The mountain goat Pokemon is very strong, but it doesn't seem to have much battle experience."
"Yes," Straight Tree nodded, "They've been training in the ranch all this time and have only had a few battles so far. However, their aspirations lie elsewhere; they're not Pokemon meant solely for battles."
"If we're talking about battles..." Straight Tree directed his gaze towards a few Pokemon in the distance, "Then, Dragonite and Gurdurr would be more skilled."
Ye Ci finally understood, "No wonder."
Her face showed a look of bewilderment, "If I didn't mistake just now, that mountain goat Pokemon seems to have a talent for using moves."
As an experienced Champion, Ye Ci could tell that each grass-type move the mountain goat Pokemon had used was unique, almost like an enhanced version of the original.
As for that last move...
Ye Ci's mind conjured an image of her riding mountain goat, its mouth holding an enormous sword blade.
She couldn't help but ask, "What move was that?"
"Leaf Blade," Straight Tree replied.
Hearing this answer, Ye Ci was slightly taken aback.
Noticing her expression, Straight Tree explained, "It's essentially Leaf Blade, but used in a different way."
A different way of using it?
Ye Ci pondered this for a long while before murmuring, "I see."
With her question answered, Ye Ci's demeanor returned to normal.
A look of appreciation appeared in her eyes as she said, "I'm glad to see that your Pokemon are exceptionally strong and possess a plethora of beautiful moves. It seems that the Padia region has welcomed yet another great Trainer."
"Every Pokemon Trainer is a treasure to the Padia region. Straight Tree, I'm very pleased to welcome you back to the Padia region."
"..." Straight Tree was at a loss for words.
Forget it, if she says so, then so be it!
Straight Tree asked, "Do you want to continue the challenge?"
Ye Ci thought for a moment and shook her head. "Never mind, it wouldn't be very fair to my riding mountain goats. Perhaps we can have another battle someday when they've gained enough battle experience."
Straight Tree had no intention of continuing either.
"Let's call it a day today!" Ye Ci declared.
Highly satisfied with her gains for the day, Ye Ci left her contact information with Straight Tree before departing the ranch.
"What I said before still stands. The Padia region will fulfill one of your wishes, within our capabilities, as a reward for a heroic Trainer like yourself."
"Of course, if you ever plan to work for the League in the future, feel free to contact me. I'll definitely arrange a good position for you."
She hadn't given up on inviting this Trainer to work for the Padia League.
Watching Ye Ci's figure disappear into the distance, Straight Tree looked down at the number in his hand and sighed. "She really is..."
In the evening, as Straight Tree was busy making grass dumplings and grass cakes at home, he received a call from Professor Olin.
As the phone call connected, Professor Olin's face appeared on the screen of the video call.
"Good afternoon, Straight Tree!" A smile spread across Professor Olin's face, complementing the bold and spirited look of her face in the photo.
"Good afternoon, Professor. Golethon is doing well lately," Straight Tree replied.
Hearing his words, Professor Olin on the other end of the screen was slightly taken aback, and her smile widened. "I'm glad to hear that Golethon is getting along well with you, but I didn't call today to discuss Golethon. I wanted to talk to you about something else."
Straight Tree was puzzled. "What is it?"
Professor Olin explained, "Ye Ci contacted us this morning, and I heard about you from her."
"I never expected that you would be such an excellent Trainer. With your skills, your strength should be sufficient."
Straight Tree was thoroughly confused.
Professor Olin didn't keep him guessing and explained with a smile, "If you wish to visit Area 0, now is a good opportunity. We also want to perform a physical examination on Golethon."
"Usually, one would need approval from the Padia League to enter Area 0."
"Your strength is sufficient for you to protect yourself in the Great Pit, and you also stopped that wildfire. If you were to submit a request to the Padia League now, you might just get permission."
"However, the interior of the Great Pit is vast, and you'll spend a considerable amount of time here. If you plan to visit, be sure to prepare accordingly."
