Chapter 311: Dan, the Emperor: I Only Defeated a Milk-Producing Goat?
Chapter 311: Dan, the Emperor: I Only Defeated a Milk-Producing Goat?
The third battle begins!
The field remains a grassy meadow, with Charizard hovering in the air, its wings spread wide.
This time, Naoki takes the initiative.
"Leaf Blade!"
As the Ride Goat exerts its strength, countless leaves sharp as blades whirl through the air towards the Charizard.
The Charizard flaps its wings, rapidly gathering the fire-type energy within its body. Red sparks dance in the currents, forming a scorching gust of wind.
The two techniques collide in mid-air. The fire-type attack unleashed by the champion-level Charizard is incredibly powerful, and in the blink of an eye, the Leaf Blades are consumed by the hot wind and set ablaze, fluttering to the ground like burning butterflies.
"As expected! Charizard's type advantage is just too overwhelming! Unless the Ride Goat learns Rock Slide, a four-times effective move, it could inflict serious damage on the Charizard," Naoki mutters.
It's a shame the Ride Goat doesn't know Rock Slide yet.
Since that's the case, it's time to switch to other types of moves! Naoki calms his mind, and at that moment, Dan, the Emperor, finally gives his command. The two almost speak in unison.
"Ride Goat, take down!"
"Charizard, Flamethrower!"
As their voices fall, the two Pokemon on the field spring into action.
The Ride Goat locks its gaze on the Charizard and charges straight at it with full force.
The Charizard opens its maw, and raging flames surge forth, transforming into a blazing inferno that rushes towards the Ride Goat.
It spews fire while flying, causing the Ride Goat's charge to miss, leaving the Charizard unscathed.
The Flamethrower inflicts significant damage on the Ride Goat.
Countless green lights immediately emerge from the grassy meadow below, rushing towards the Ride Goat's body and healing its wounds.
Seeing this, Dan, the Emperor, quickly commands, "Don't give it a chance to recover! Air Slash!"
Naoki: "Block it with Vine Whip!"
The Ride Goat immediately summons two thick vine whips to intercept the attack.
The Charizard flaps its wings, and the milky-white air currents transform into a wind blade, slicing through the sturdy vine whips and hitting the Ride Goat.
The Ride Goat is knocked to the ground, defeated.
Naoki: "..."
It looks like the first person to pass the Grassland Trial will be decided today.
The final battle—the third Ride Goat vs. the Charizard.
Dan, the Emperor, seems to have devised a strategy to counter the Ride Goat. This time, he directly instructs his Charizard to use Clear Smog, dispelling the Grassy Terrain that the Ride Goat had created.
Naoki attempts a sure-hit combination of Aerial Ace and Grass Knot, but unfortunately, this move not only fails to incapacitate the Charizard but also triggers its Blaze ability.
A single Flame Charge ends the battle.
Looking at the fallen Ride Goat, Naoki reassesses their strength.
—They are barely capable of reaching the champion level. However, when facing an equally strong opponent with a type advantage, even the Grassy Terrain might not be enough to turn the tides.
Just like Dan, the Emperor's Charizard.
Nonetheless, they did well. At the very least, the Ride Goats managed to defeat Dan's Axew and Goodra.
Their loss wasn't due to a lack of strength but the type disadvantage.
If they knew Rock Slide, the outcome today might have been different.
Naoki begins to ponder how he can help the Ride Goats learn Rock Slide.
With a myriad of thoughts racing through his mind, Naoki looks up at Dan, the Emperor, across from him. "Congratulations. You've successfully passed the Grassland Trial."
Dan, the Emperor, grins broadly, his smile brimming with satisfaction. "Battling your Pokemon is exhilarating, both in terms of strategy and moves. I had a blast!"
"So did I," Naoki admires inwardly. As expected of the strongest champion. Come to think of it, today might also be his first formal Pokemon battle.
At that moment, his brother, Ai, who had been waiting patiently, approached with several cups of sheep milk.
Naoki took them and fed the Ride Goats, petting their heads comfortingly, "You all did great today!"
Having lost the battle, the Ride Goats looked a little glum.
Naoki consoled them, "It's alright, it was just one battle. Keep up the spirit, and I'll do my best to help you, too."
He thought of how they could learn Rock Slide to counter Dan's Charizard. With a four-times effective move, they might be able to defeat the Charizard in one hit.
Hearing this, the Ride Goats' spirits lifted a little.
"Alright, now go and play!" Naoki patted their heads.
The Ride Goats then scampered off, full of energy.
Naoki turned to Dan, "Go ahead and release all your Pokemon."
Although surprised, Dan released his weakened Axew and Goodra from their Poke Balls.
Naoki stepped forward and fed them the Life Sheep Milk.
The next second, something magical happened.
As the Pokemon drank the milk, their wounds began to heal at a visible rate, and their spirits and energy were restored to their former vigor.
Witnessing this, Dan was shocked. He looked at the fully healed Pokemon in disbelief, then at the remaining two bottles of milk-like white liquid, and exclaimed, "What is that? The recovery effect is incredible!"
"Sheep milk," Naoki replied.
"Sheep milk?"
Naoki nodded, smiling, "Yes, milk produced by the Ride Goats. Usually, they work as dairy sheep on the ranch, and their milk is sold in town and other places."
Hearing this, Dan's first reaction wasn't one of surprise but rather a sense of existential crisis.
Dan: ???
He thought to himself, 'So I've been struggling to defeat three milk-producing goats?'
'How strong are the other Pokemon here, then?'
Unconsciously, he turned to look at Garchomp.
At that moment, Naoki stood up and said to Dan, "Now that you've passed the Grassland Trial, even though today's trial was a little different, as the first Trainer to pass, you can choose a fruit wine with a magical effect to feed to your Pokemon."
Dan asked instinctively, "A little different? What's the usual Grassland Trial like?"
"Normally, the Grassland Trial consists of three rounds. In the first round, you battle one Ride Goat. The second round involves battling two Ride Goats at the same time, and in the third round, you face off against all three."
Naoki had already decided to help the Ride Goats learn Rock Slide to counter Dan's Charizard. Thus, he turned to Dan and said, "Although you won this time, there are no guarantees for the next."
Dan was taken aback for a moment, then understood Naoki's implication.
He smiled and said, "Next time, bring your full strength, and let's battle properly!"
Naoki: "?"
Dan explained, "I want to battle your main Pokemon."
As he spoke, he glanced suggestively at Garchomp and the others.
Naoki couldn't help but find it amusing, "Sure!" He thought Dan was quite an interesting person.
To think he had traveled all the way from the Galar region to battle him.
Seeing Naoki's agreement, Dan was delighted, and he began to ponder, "I wonder how far the Galar region is from the Hisui region?
Hearing this, Naoki turned to look at him.
Dan explained, a little embarrassed, "You see, I have a terrible sense of direction, so I might not be able to find my way here smoothly. If I get lost, you have to guide me!"
