Chapter 108: Zuo Hang: “this Wave Was Pretty Good”
Many opponents Zuo Hang encountered liked to use this secondary creation move, especially some trainers who mainly trained Water-types.
Tired Tide, with power 120~140 as given on the TM, has a certain chance to put the opponent to sleep or Numbness upon hit.
An extremely high-damage Water-type control skill, whether striking first to seize the initiative or countering later to turn the tables, it has unexpectedly amazing effects.
Wave Crash instantly surged to tens of meters high, but unfortunately there was no usable water source around; if there was, the height of Wave Crash should easily reach a hundred meters.
This situation wasn’t particularly tricky for Charizard; he could easily avoid this move by flapping his wings and rising into the air.
Tired Tide, as the name suggests, is a sea tide, not a small wave tens of meters high; under the premise of no other water sources around, this move’s power was still somewhat weak.
“Flare Blitz!”
Zuo Hang didn’t choose to rise into the air to dodge, but instead chose to clash head-on.
Only dodge when you can’t win; this ten-plus-meter-high Tired Tide might not even count as a small splash for Charizard.
Blazing Fire of Flare Blitz rose from his body, Charizard charged into the sea tide, and the heterochromatic seawater composed of Wave Crash and Scald was instantly evaporated dry when approaching the Blazing Fire of Flare Blitz; the Sleep Powder and Stun Spore contained within couldn’t exert any effect at all.
“Aqua Tail into Whirlwind!”
As Charizard was about to break through the sea tide, Isabella shouted the names of two skills. Quaxly reacted at the fastest speed, spinning his body once, and the Scald in the sea tide surged toward the tip of his tail.
——Whirlwind: Normal-type special, power 80, creates wind blades to attack the opponent!
Quaxly flung out a Scald wind blade; his original Physical Attack was treated as Special Attack and flung out, and it also used Whirlwind to increase the trajectory speed and sharpness of Aqua Tail—a very beautiful self-created Combination Technique, but in the face of absolute strength gap, this little trick couldn’t play a very good role.
Azure Flowing Light of Dragon Claw lit up on Charizard’s arms; with a casual swing, he shredded the incoming Aqua Tail blade. His huge wings reversed direction just before colliding with Quaxly, sending a powerful airflow blasting in front of Quaxly, nearly blowing away his small body.
This wasn’t a skill; it was merely a wing flap to stop Flare Blitz.
Charizard held back and didn’t let Flare Blitz hit Quaxly.
Zuo Hang had said to each of his Pokémon, “When battling Pokémon weaker than yourself, try to go easy in battles where you can; this isn’t meaningless kindness, but the Mercy of the strong.” Of course, that was in the past, when Zuo Hang had just arrived in this world; now he actually didn’t agree with this theory much anymore, because some people wouldn’t appreciate it even if you went easy.
Back then, Zuo Hang was quite chuunibyou, and the words he said while educating his kids seemed somewhat embarrassing looking back now, but many of those chuunibyou words were also life truths. The Charizard nurtured by “chuunibyou-era Zuo Hang” was a “merciful strong one.”
Quaxly had originally closed his eyes and covered his head with his hands, waiting for the judgment of Flare Blitz, but Charizard stopped just before colliding with him. Quaxly felt offended.
Did he think he couldn’t withstand a single Flare Blitz?
Quaxly looked up at Charizard towering far above him; the dragon eyes in his ever-angry posture looked down at him condescendingly, with dragon flames still lingering on his body surface that hadn’t dissipated.
enmmm
Quaxly took a step back.
Alright, never mind. Quaxly jogged a few steps and only felt slightly relieved when he stood beside Isabella.
“This battle was somewhat decent,” Zuo Hang said.
“What’s the use? It’s still a loss.” Isabella said, “I’ll keep the promise made before the battle. Whenever you have time, I’ll take you to see the superior.”
“I have time anytime,” Zuo Hang said.
He and Xi Ran had taken a week off; Zuo Hang was purely idle this week, but besides handling Little Charizard’s matter, he had something even more important to do.
Zuo Hang left the Battle Arena and entered the Pokémon Day Care.
Gardevoir and Uncle Hei were making faces at a Togepi; actually, they were trying to cheer her up.
Togepi this kind of Pokémon innately has the characteristic of “being ignored by people”; when certain dangers descend, Togepi’s Existence is like “a roadside pebble,” possibly directly ignored by the source of danger, or possibly ignored by people very close to him.
Precisely because of this special ability, Togepi often needs more care from trainers than other Pokémon.
Wild Togepi are extremely rare Pokémon; in Feiao City, besides Uncle Hei’s Pokémon Day Care, it’s hard to find wild Togepi elsewhere.
Pokémon Day Cares are mostly for-profit; besides helping care for trainers’ Pokémon, they also sell some Pokémon Eggs, but Uncle Hei is different. Da Lao Hei Pokémon Day Care has no business selling Pokémon Eggs; moreover, Uncle Hei’s place is a Pokémon shelter besides the Pokémon Center, where many Pokémon abandoned by trainers or too weak to be kept by their own groups can often be seen.
Uncle Hei is that extremely rare type of Pokémon Breeder who became one purely out of love for Pokémon, not for money. Although he has a tall stature and a rather fierce appearance, Uncle Hei is actually a very delicate person at heart; this is also why Zuo Hang can rest assured leaving his Pokémon here.
“Uncle.” Zuo Hang patted Uncle Hei’s shoulder from behind; Uncle Hei was very tall, and Zuo Hang even had to tiptoe to reach it.
“Yo, it’s Little Hang? Battle over?? Did you go too hard?”
“Not bad, didn’t go too hard.”
“That’s good; your uncle is pretty good at reading people. I knew that girl wasn’t a bad person at first glance.”
Zuo Hang smiled and didn’t take this to heart; Uncle Hei saw everyone as a good person.
“I came back this time mainly to gather the kids; Uncle, help me arrange it.”
“Gather? All of them?” Surprise flashed in Uncle Hei’s eyes.
“Yeah.” Zuo Hang nodded, “All of them.”
“How long can you wait?” Uncle Hei asked.
“A week.”
“That might”
“No problem, however many can come back, just that many.”
“Alright, I’ll arrange it for you.” Uncle Hei placed Togepi in Gardevoir’s arms, turned around and left the Pokémon Day Care; recalling all of Zuo Hang’s Pokémon was quite a workload.
“Wah~~Yi yi~~~~~~” As soon as Uncle Hei left, Togepi immediately started crying.
Zuo Hang felt like he had seen this Togepi before. It had probably been in the Pokémon Day Care for a few years; back when Zuo Rou’s Social Anxiety wasn’t as severe as now, she used to come to the Pokémon Day Care often to play with this Togepi.
Zuo Rou has very high Pokémon affinity; even Togepi that Uncle Hei couldn’t soothe would calm down as soon as Zuo Rou held her.
