Better not.
Mawile's feet burst with lightning, and as it suddenly stepped forward, it leapt like a meteor!
"Goo!"
Aron, who had just finished observing the battlefield, was startled by the attacker and was about to counterattack when it found Mawile right in front of it and punched it in the mouth.
Bam!
A cloud of smoke exploded.
Aron rolled back like a tumbleweed, eventually falling into the water alongside its companion, where Dewgong rescued them.
"Cheedo~"
The second one.
Mawile blew its fist, showing a bored expression.
These opponents really aren't challenging; the third one is probably about the same—
Sure enough.
The third Pokémon to appear was Makuhita.
This guy wanted to go punch-for-punch with Mawile, relying on its fat to absorb impact. But who would have thought Mawile would use a quick spin reversal during the punch exchange?
It directly had Giant Jaw bite this guy, mixing in Frozen Fang and then threw it outside!
Then watched as this chubby guy flew high up with a swoosh before splashing into the water.
Becoming the third to flop.
"Beep—"
The sound of a horn rang out.
Mawile slightly raised its head, seeing a strange object with a Trainer's avatar flying towards it, "Cheedo?"
"It's the Recycling Machine, don't panic. Well done, Mawile."
Baimu's voice came from the machine, followed by a red Recycling Beam.
"Cheedo."
Mawile pouted, letting itself be withdrawn into the Pokeball.
This wasn't even enough for a warm-up, no hardship involved at all.
In the room.
Baimu retrieved the three Pokeballs, and the bottom right corner of the screen displayed a countdown for the next match, a whole thirty minutes long.
"If they're all of the same strength as that just now, maybe it could be an easy victory?"
He couldn't help but think, and then pulled out his phone to play.
Last night, instead of training his Pokémon, he spent time discussing Porygon with Dr. Akihabara's assistant, gaining a lot of interesting information.
'Dr. Akihabara doesn't want you to casually evolve Porygon into Porygon II, partly because the evolved Porygon II has a variable personality that an ordinary Trainer might struggle to deal with. Additionally, it could receive a mysterious email affecting Porygon II.'
'The sender of the email is unknown, but everyone knows it's definitely from the missing Zeroth Machine Porygon Z; it wants to add new companions for itself but looks down on ordinary Porygon, so it'll target Porygon II.'
'If you use upgrade data to evolve Porygon, be careful of that guy!'
The Zeroth Machine Porygon Z wanting to add new companions...
Although it's never been mentioned in the animation, Baimu instinctively felt that this thing wouldn't be easy to deal with. Maybe Hoopa could help pull it out?
Can Hoopa manage computer space?
Perhaps it can be tried.
Baimu nodded quietly to himself, and suddenly the sound system beeped.
The second round was here.
The battle arena on the screen changed, transforming from a flat terrain surrounded by water to one encircled by sharp rocks.
Oh!
Isn't this the perfect home ground for Aggron?
Without much hesitation, he decisively sent Aggron as the starter, launching it as the match began.
Inside the arena.
With two flashes of white light.
Aggron landed on the sand field, and thanks to its massive weight, its legs sunk in instantly upon landing.
It quickly scanned its surroundings before looking towards the distant enemy—
Hmm?
A purple-skinned green-winged flying insect?
Illiterate Aggron didn't know it was called Dustox, only feeling lucky to be fighting on such home turf.
"Roar!"
It punched the ground, stirring up a crazy sandstorm tornado that rushed toward Dustox!
The latter was startled, its antennae and compound eyes glowing blue, translating into invisible Spiritual Power spreading forward, trying to fend off the sandstorm tornado.
However, its Strong Mental Will was scattered by the Quicksand Hell at first encounter, then it was swept into it and slammed onto a rock heavily!
Bang!
"Douguk!" It let out a miserable scream, its wings flapping frantically to escape the grip of the sandstorm tornado, but unexpectedly several sharp rocks came whirling in, continuously smashing onto it.
Bang bang bang!
After a series of explosions and smoke, Dustox could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.
"Roar..."
Aggron approached Dustox, watching it curiously.
Unexpectedly, before it could get too close, a red beam absorbed Dustox, releasing a rapidly wing-beating, humming golden insect that moved at extreme speed a little further away.
High-speed opponent, huh...
Hopefully, it'll bring some fun.
A hint of a grin spread across Aggron's ferocious face.
