I Have Caught a Pokémon

"Bulbasaur, use Vine Whip!"

Bulbasaur shook the dust from its body, extended two vines from its bulb, projected them forward, and forcefully struck Geodude's body.

Geodude received several lashes, with an expression of pain, and seeing he was at a disadvantage, Brock hastily shouted: "We're not getting anywhere like this, Geodude, close the distance quickly, use Rollout!"

Geodude was seen pulling in its fists, spinning rapidly, turning its body into a stone ball, and rolling towards Bulbasaur at extreme speed.

Is he trying for a close-quarters combat to dodge Bulbasaur's Razor Leaf?

Natsui said decisively: "Don't let him get his way, catch him with Vine Whip!"

However, Geodude's rolling speed was too fast, and after dodging the Vine Whip several times, it finally crashed into Bulbasaur.

It was just a shame, Rollout is a Rock-type move, and after the impact, it only caused limited damage to Bulbasaur.

And when Rollout stopped, Bulbasaur took the opportunity to lift it high with Vine Whip, holding it in the air.

"Time to end the match! Bulbasaur, use Razor Leaf!"

At such a close distance, being hit squarely again by Razor Leaf, this time, Geodude completely lost the ability to fight. It fell to the ground, like a stone sinking to the bottom of the sea, unable to make a single ripple.

Recalling Geodude, Brock's face became somewhat solemn, knowing that he had the advantage in neither strength nor type.

"From the previous battle, it's easy to see that you are truly very strategic," Brock nodded in praise. "But if you want to get the Boulder Badge, you still have to defeat this guy. Come out now, Onix!"

Seeing Onix come out to fight again, Natsui called back Bulbasaur and sent out Squirtle.

"It's all up to you, Squirtle."

"Squirtle, Squirtle!"

Perhaps having learned his lesson from before, when the battle started, Brock directly shouted: "Onix, use Rock Tomb!"

Onix raised its torso, opened its huge mouth, and instantly, countless giant rocks condensed in the air and fell, crushing down on Squirtle.

"Squirtle, use Withdraw!"

Hearing Natsui's words, Squirtle quickly tucked its head and limbs into its shell, and in the next second, the rocks were seen falling and being bounced off by the hard shell.

"Good chance!", a glint flashed in Brock's eyes, and he shouted, "Onix, take this chance, use Bind!"

Taking advantage of Squirtle not having stuck its head out yet, Onix quickly approached, using the same move it used against Pikachu, it coiled Squirtle with its tail and squeezed it tightly.

Even due to the excessive force, as it pressed on the shell, it emitted a terrifying cracking sound.

In the stands, Misty's heart raced, and Ash also widened his eyes, wanting to see how Natsui would deal with the same move.

In the command area, Natsui said unhurriedly: "Squirtle, use Rapid Spin!"

Squirtle's shell was seen vibrating continuously, and then the vibration became more and more intense, grazing and colliding with Onix's body, and finally spinning at high speed, like a spinning top, managing to forcefully repel Onix's body.

Rapid Spin, a Normal-type physical move, once used, besides causing damage to the opponent, it can also free the user from being bound and from the Leech Seed status!

Taking advantage of Onix's body being paralyzed, Natsui continued: "Squirtle, use Water Gun!"

A brief moment of surprise caused Brock to miss the perfect moment to give a command, and by the time he reacted and wanted Onix to use a move, it was already too late.

Faced with the powerful Water Gun, Onix tried to dodge by instinct, but due to its enormous size, it was hit squarely.

Water against Rock and Ground, it's super effective!

Hearing Onix's wail, Brock ordered: "Onix, quick, use Dig!"

On the field, if you didn't see it with your own eyes, who could imagine that Onix's enormous body, relying on the stone horn on its head, could excavate the earth and stone and get underground with agility.

On the silent battlefield, Squirtle's gaze patrolled from side to side, cautiously watching for any unusual movement.

And just as it was turning around, the ground beneath its feet suddenly cracked, and a colossal creature emerged from it.

But Natsui was already prepared for this.

He knew that the purpose of Dig was none other than to hide one's figure while waiting for an opportunity to act. Now, seeing that Onix, just as he had predicted, chose to appear under Squirtle's feet, he shouted loudly: "Squirtle, use Bubble!"

A large number of bubbles were expelled from Squirtle's mouth and expanded rapidly; these bubbles not only confused Onix's eyes, but also caused it continuous Water-type damage.

Natsui extended his right hand forward and shouted: "Now's the time, let's end the match! Squirtle, use Water Gun!"

Squirtle looked up at this colossal creature, ten times larger than itself, with no fear in its eyes. It opened its mouth, and a jet of water sprayed Onix's body, and with a crash as it fell to the ground, it was completely defeated!

Clap, clap, clap!

Applause sounded. Brock recalled the unconscious Onix to its Poké Ball, walked up to Natsui, and said sincerely: "You are truly amazing, I accept my defeat in this battle wholeheartedly."

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Natsui waved his hands hastily and said humbly, "I just had the type advantage, if it had been with other Pokémon, I wouldn't have won so easily."

Actually, Brock's strength, among the many gym leaders, was not particularly outstanding.

Because his parents left home one after another, he, though not yet of age, took on the responsibility of caring for his nine younger siblings, washing clothes and cooking every day, which led to his Pokémon being lacking in training. Although he was much stronger than an average trainer, he wasn't very difficult to defeat either.

At that moment, Brock stepped aside, took a badge from a box, and handed it to Natsui.

"This is the Boulder Badge, as a reward for clearing the challenge, I now present it to you."

The shape of the Boulder Badge was like that of a cut diamond, and although it was dark gray, under the light of the lamps, it still reflected a dazzling sheen.

The second badge of the Indigo League, finally in his hands!

Placing the badge in his badge case, Natsui first praised his two Pokémon, and then turned around to look for Misty and Ash, only to see that Ash and Pikachu had already disappeared. Only Misty was there, waiting for him.

"Huh? Where's Ash?"

Misty shrugged and said with resignation: "Perhaps seeing you win the battle so easily, he felt overwhelmed. He left without a word and without looking back, I don't know where he went."

Shaking his head, Natsui said: "Forget it, let's not worry about him for now. Knowing his personality, he's probably conducting some kind of special training in secret somewhere. I believe that even if we don't look for him now, he will soon recover and challenge this gym again."
