But it seemed the tremendous momentum was no longer enough to help it dodge this Vine Whip...
The sound of its head colliding heavily with the bluestone made Lin Feng beside them click his tongue...
That sound was so crisp...
It gave him the illusion that a pleasant sound meant a good head.
"Snivy..."
Snivy rubbed her forehead with a tiny hand and suddenly realized why the two of them got along so well...
Like Trainer, like Pokémon!
"Squirtle!?"
Over there, Qin Shu saw Squirtle crash heavily onto the road and immediately shouted, "The battle has only just begun! Get up and hang in there!"
"Squirtle, Squirtle..."
Squirtle, rubbing the huge bump on its head as it shakily got to its feet, looked ahead and found no one there except Lin Feng. For a moment, it could not find Snivy anywhere.
It was only after Lin Feng secretly pointed behind it, coupled with Qin Shu's shout from the other side, "Behind you! Behind you! There's a Vine Whip!" that Squirtle finally realized what was happening and turned around.
But by then, the two Vine Whips were already less than ten centimeters from its back. As expected, they wrapped around its entire body and hoisted it into the air.
No matter how wildly it struggled, it could not break free from the Vine Whips.
After flinging Squirtle away, Snivy shot her Trainer a speechless sidelong glance.
He had actually reminded another Pokémon during a battle...
"Ahem, I had to give it some battle experience, didn't I?"
Lin Feng coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.
Though it seemed that experience had not really been given.
Over there,
Squirtle, having been flung away, slammed heavily onto the ground and did not recover for quite a while.
It simply could not understand why Snivy had suddenly appeared behind it in the middle of the fight.
"Are you okay, Squirtle?"
Qin Shu hurried over to Squirtle's side and asked with concern.
"Squirtle, Squirtle..." Squirtle had been about to say it was fine, but in the next instant, it put on a weak expression. "Squirtle, Squirtle..." (I have no strength left...)
The innocent Qin Shu did not notice anything strange about Squirtle. Though she felt regretful, she looked at Snivy over there with shining eyes...
What an amazing Snivy. No wonder she was Brother Feng's Pokémon!
Lin Feng walked over with Snivy. "No more fighting?"
Although Squirtle was still a newborn Pokémon, it should not have lost its ability to battle after being thrown around only twice, so Lin Feng came over to check on it.
"Squirtle says it has no stamina left."
Qin Shu said with a headache.
That caught Lin Feng off guard.
Squirtle clearly still looked full of energy.
Then he understood, and a smile crept onto his lips.
"Brother Feng! What did you think of my performance just now? Was it okay?"
Qin Shu could not help lifting her head to ask again. Her eyes sparkled, and she clearly hoped to receive some positive praise.
"Mm... not bad... If Squirtle lifts its head the next time it uses Tackle, that would be better."
Lin Feng thought for a moment before replying.
Wangwang Supermarket's Baby Cup
Watching Qin Shu leave full of confidence after receiving his advice, Lin Feng could not help shaking his head.
He had merely told her to pay attention to having Squirtle lift its head whenever it used Tackle in the future.
Yet she had suddenly understood and immediately figured out the reason for this defeat.
Then she promptly took Squirtle off for targeted training...
But...
"How could the reason it lost possibly be that its Tackle proficiency was too low?"
"Snivy..."
Even Snivy could not hold it in...
"Forget it. Let's go downtown. Do you want to go into the Poké Ball?"
Lin Feng took out a Poké Ball and asked.
"Snivy?" (Can I not?)
Looking at the Poké Ball in Lin Feng's hand, Snivy revealed a disgusted expression.
She did not want to stay in that cramped space.
"Fine. Then should I carry you, or will you stand on my shoulder? Otherwise, you won't be allowed on the bus."
Elf Law clearly stipulated that
large Pokémon were not allowed on public transportation, and Trainers had to remain in contact with their Pokémon.
"Snivy?"
Snivy looked at him suspiciously.
"Really!"
Lin Feng said earnestly.
Though part of the reason was that he wanted to hold Snivy in his arms.
It was summer, after all.
That cool, smooth feeling of her skin was the best.
"Snivy..."
Snivy nodded reluctantly.
Wutong City Pokémon League branch.
Lin Feng walked out with Snivy in his arms.
At first, the little one had only been willing to stay on his shoulder.
But she was not exactly short herself, and riding the bus while standing on his shoulder would make her look especially conspicuous.
That conspicuousness made her feel a little embarrassed.
So she had no choice but to settle for staying in Lin Feng's arms.
Actually, it was not too bad...
It was quite warm.
It would have been even better if those hands would stop rubbing all over her...
Snivy thought.
It was a little embarrassing.
The certificate was issued quickly. The receptionist was pretty too, and she praised Lin Feng for being so promising at such a young age, already an Intermediate Breeder.
She also helped Lin Feng activate his Breeding House qualification certificate.
I need to buy some everyday bandages, Super Potions, and materials for making Nourishing Energy Cubes.
With that thought in mind, Lin Feng strode toward Wangwang Supermarket across from the League.
This was the League's largest chain department store. Whether it was Pokémon supplies or daily necessities, it had everything.
But only after crossing the street did Lin Feng notice
a huge banner hanging at the entrance of Wangwang Supermarket.
"To become an outstanding Trainer, one must begin with battling! During the summer break, Wangwang Supermarket and the Pokémon League are jointly holding a Rookie Trainer battle tournament—the Baby Cup! Any Rookie Trainer can participate for free!"
"Rich rewards await you!"
Beside the banner was an animated image of Gardevoir blowing a kiss.
It seemed the organizers understood very well what would catch the attention of children this age.
But that was not what Lin Feng cared about.
What he cared about was...
First prize: one Starter Pokémon Egg, an 88,000 Wangwang Supermarket shopping card, and one chance to participate in the Egg Guessing Riddle at Wangwang Supermarket headquarters!
Second prize: an 88,000 Wangwang Supermarket shopping card and one chance to participate in the Egg Guessing Riddle at Wangwang Supermarket headquarters!
Third prize: an 88,000 Wangwang Supermarket shopping card.
Hmm...
The rewards seemed rather generous?
Lin Feng began to think, wishing he could keep his eyes fixed on the registration date and rules below Gardevoir...
July 15th.
Rules: Only first-stage Pokémon may participate, and their strength must be below Elite level.
