[Race]: Rock Goat
[Attribute]: Rock
[Racial Rank]: Mid-Rank Ordinary Species
[Health Level]: 10
[Racial Ability]: Rock Armor
[Individual Talent]: 1. Divine Speed (Senior Level talent, possessing unparalleled speed.)
2. Indomitable Heart (Senior Level Talent: Possesses a strong fighting will and will not easily fall.)
Luo Yu didn't know much about Rock Goat before, but after seeing their racial abilities, he could basically figure out their fighting style.
However, this Rock Goat... actually has two high talents!
Moreover, it's the kind of obvious talent that's hard to hide.
Divine Speed...
Given the Rock Goat's hardness and incredible Divine Speed, a single charge would likely be too much for most mutated beasts of the same level to withstand.
In addition, that Indomitable Heart... will probably make him a tough opponent.
This pigtail must be quite exceptional; such a top-tier pet is not something an ordinary Beast Taming can easily find, and it's no less valuable than Superior Species with ordinary talents.
In addition, Luo Yu also noticed that the Rock Goat was wearing a gemstone ornament around its neck...
It seems to be the gem "Heart of Rock" that they've come to buy...
When carried, it can enhance the Rock-type affinity of mutated beasts...
Beast Taming in big cities... they're really well-equipped.
It seems the other party just used the "Eye of Life," which can detect the life fluctuations of pets, right?
Luo Yu didn't expect that Chen Bo would pick such a big, fat sheep right away.
Unfortunately, they couldn't be killed. After all, they were outsiders. It was better to behave themselves. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake, especially since they weren't even dragons.
A bet should be enough to cover the venue fee... after all, his fights are quite demanding on the venue.
He learned that because there are more Rock-type Pokémon here, Rock-type battles cause more wear and tear on the arena than Water-type battles. Therefore, 5% of the arena maintenance fee is shared by the duelists and included in the arena usage fee... it's a kind of arena tax.
"How about it?"
"Our pets don't seem to have as high a HP level as your Rock Goat. If you can beat both of us, I'll give you 5,000 Alliance Coin. Even if you lose, you'll only have to pay the venue fee."
The girl with pigtails felt she had no reason to refuse.
How much will the venue fee be?
Besides, she couldn't possibly lose.
"Sure..." She clapped her hands and looked at the arena, saying, "I know this place well, let's go set up the arena."
She led the sheep ahead, and Luo Yu and Chen Bo exchanged a glance before quickly following.
"Leave these pigtails to me."
"Let her see how capable the newcomers from Mirror Moon Island are," Chen Bo whispered to himself.
Luo Yu said, "Do you believe I can't beat her?"
"That sheep had fierce eyes; it didn't look like someone to mess with."
"I can't beat him?" Chen Bo didn't believe it. Even if the Rock Goat was two levels higher, his Thunderbolt Shrimp had light-based abilities, and besides that... it had been stuck with needles for so long!
"Let's make a bet too. If you lose, you give me 500 Alliance Coin; if you win, I'll give you 500." Luo Yu wanted to profit from both sides.
"I'll take the gamble." Chen Bo refused to believe he would lose.
Luo Yu smiled. Actually, he didn't know who would win, but after analyzing the stats of the two pets, he felt that the one with pigtails had a higher chance of winning... That's why he insisted that the other party had to defeat both of them, just in case Chen Bo was upset.
After all, the Thunderbolt Shrimp had only recently started using needles. Apart from that, the Senior Level needles hadn't been available to Chen Bo and his group yet; Luo Yu and July had been enjoying them all along.
A few ordinary needles alone are not enough to bridge the gap between talent and level.
"Open a standard arena, no referees needed." The girl with pigtails approached the arena's front desk.
"Venue number 36, here's the voucher. The venue fee will be paid last." The employee handed over the voucher.
Led by the pigtails, they arrived at the arena, which was similar to the one on Mirror Moon Island: a standard ground surface with a central pool.
"Who wants to go first?" She looked at Chen Bo and Luo Yu, as well as the pet beasts following behind them.
"It is I," Chen Bo stepped forward.
Luo Yu took out a notebook and a pen, sat down to the side, and began to record the battle.
Chen Bo was drenched in sweat as soon as the battle began.
Luo Yu was right, that sheep is really fierce!
"Meow!!!!"
Clad in Rock Armor, the Rock Goat resembles a small mountain, with large, curved horns that look like two stone spears!
This equipment, which should have been cumbersome, actually resulted in astonishing speed.
The lightning flashed by, at most grazing the edge of the Rock Goat's body; not a single Discharge hit its target completely.
Even the Thunderbolt Shrimp panicked.
Bang bang bang! Just as the Rock Goat was about to get close, Chen Bo's Thunderbolt Shrimp had a hidden trump card: a Flash of supernatural power that stopped the Rock Goat.
Taking advantage of the opponent's blindness, the not-so-agile Thunderbolt Shrimp quickly crawled into the pool.
Chen Bo's thinking was very simple.
This Rock Goat can run very fast on the ground, but once the Thunderbolt Shrimp goes into the water, it's helpless!
Moreover, water conducts electricity, so if the other party dares to go into the water, they won't be able to escape!
"Heh, light-based superpowers?!" The girl with pigtails moved her arm away from the light and said, "You've got some skills. No wonder you dared to challenge me."
"Still planning to take advantage of the venue? But..."
With a wave of her hand, the Rock Goat jumped directly into the water, and the Thunderbolt Shrimp immediately Discharge!!!
Sizzle sizzle sizzle----
In an instant, lightning crackled across the pool.
However, the Rock Goat, its body crackling with lightning, merely frowned slightly as it endured the damage through sheer defense and willpower, and even displayed an incredibly fast swimming speed!
Its Senior Level Divine Speed is evident not only on land but also in water, clearly indicating targeted training!
Boom!!!
In an instant, the Rock Goat sent the Discharge Thunderbolt Shrimp flying off the top of the pool.
Seeing this, Chen Bo felt a chill run down his spine.
No way, big sister, how come your Rock Goat is so fierce!
Behind them, Luo Yu, who was recording the battle data, shook his head.
"Looks like I haven't had enough acupuncture."
"Go back and increase the quantity of the Thunderbolt Shrimp."
However, this Rock Goat's defensive capabilities are truly astounding.
Luo Yu felt that it was the gemstone that made the Rock Armor thicker!
Is it a pay-to-win game...?
"I wonder if I can break through their defenses in July..."
Thinking about the combined tactics he would be using next, Luo Yu felt a little more at ease.
"Can you do it...?" Chen Bo was defeated in a moment, his face flushed red, and he slunk off the stage, extremely uneasy. Had Luo Yu lost too?
Those pigtails are so vicious!
Beast Taming from big cities are indeed fierce...
"You lost too quickly, I didn't even have time to remember anything..." Luo Yu said.
"Alright, leave the rest to me. We can't afford to lose a huge sum of money..."
As he spoke, he tossed the notebook to Chen Bo, signaling him to continue taking notes, while he took the baton from July and walked onto the field.
At that moment, Chen Bo took a quick look at Luo Yu's notebook...
"No, this is just some random scribbles, I can't understand it at all!"
Instead of text, there was a drawing of a Rock Goat, and it was drawn very poorly.
Chen Bo was dumbfounded. They weren't just friends; they were from the same research institute, and this was encrypted?
"Want to take a break?" Luo Yu walked to the front of the field, and July swayed onto the stage.
It stared at the Rock Goat's gem pendant, its Intelligence mind beginning to ponder.
Fighting... so you can bring equipment after all?
Next time, it'll bring a fishing rod too!
Use your opponent as bait!
"No need." The girl with pigtails shook her head, looked at July, and felt that this Earth Penguin was not as good as that Thunderbolt Shrimp.
The people on Mirror Moon Island are really strange.
How could anyone contract such a mutated beast?
She contracted with the Rock Goat because her family raises them; surely this person couldn't be Earth Penguin, Rock Goat they?
The milk of Rock Goat can increase the rock affinity of other organisms, so it has breeding value, while the breeding value of Earth Penguin is unknown.
"Let's begin." With a snap of his fingers, the Rock Goat charged forward, intending to end the battle immediately.
She didn't believe that this penguin could emit Flash.
As for the water? Earth Penguin aren't very good swimmers either.
This terrain... is not something a little penguin below level 10 could dig up.
She felt that Luo Yu and July were just there to make people laugh.
Boom!!!
Facing the oncoming opponent, July flapped its single wing to the ground and slightly raised its head.
In an instant, the arena shattered, leaving a huge crater!!
The Rock Goat was going too fast and couldn't stop in time, plunging straight into a huge crater that suddenly appeared ahead!
Everything happened so fast that the girl with pigtails was stunned and didn't realize what had happened.
"This..." She stared blankly at the hole in the ground.
"It's happening! This ridiculous Dig!!!" Chen Bo shouted inwardly. He had always thought this was the most insidious move!!!
How do we defend ourselves on land?
I guess only flying pets could ignore it.
"Jump out quickly!!" the pigtails cried urgently.
Falling into a pit won't cause much harm to Rock Goat. After all, Rock Goat love rock climbing and often fall from heights, so the impact of falling into a pit is much weaker than that.
However, the key to success in July is to strike while the iron is hot.
Before the Rock Goat could even leap out, July had already blocked the entrance, accompanied by a meaningless "gurgle--"...
With a loud "boom," endless flames erupted from July's body.
It took a deep breath, flames seemed to explode in its lungs, and its mouth, like a flamethrower, instantly spewed out a terrifying Heat Breath reaching thousands of degrees Celsius!
Call!!!
The intense heat, like Heat Breath roar of a raging dragon, instantly surged into the cave.
It's the new combination skill that Luo Yu and July developed: Barbecue Grill!
Dig + Heat Breath.
The crater created this July is now like a blazing basin, concentrating the intense heat it spews out!
This combination technique will slow down the heat loss and increase its power!
In an instant, the Rock Goat turned completely red, and despite its indomitable will, it began to howl.
"Mwah----" It's going to turn into a whole roasted lamb.
Sensing the Rock Goat's unprecedented despair, the girl with the pigtails' expression changed. "No, no, no, this person is on a completely different level from the one before!"
Flash- throwing Thunderbolt Shrimp and a Barbecue Grill -making Earth Penguin —who are these two country bumpkins, and what is their purpose in challenging each other to a duel?
