----------

"Buneary!" Buneary leaped, skillfully jumping out of the ring of fire.

Under long-term speed training, her jumping ability had been perfectly developed.

"Tch..." Paul pulled a face, full of disdain. Using such a useless move, wasn't this clearly looking down on him?

"Use Taunt!"

Chimchar hooked its finger and made a funny face.

"Quick Attack!" Marcus seemed to have anticipated this. The moment the other party finished speaking, his command was already given.

Buneary turned into a white light and quickly rushed towards the opponent.

"Flame Wheel!" Paul chose to go head-to-head. This was also his basic training methodology for Chimchar, stimulating the Blaze ability through fierce collisions.

"Quick Attack!" Marcus spoke again.

And Buneary's speed immediately rose another level!

Chimchar was knocked away before it could react, and the Flame Wheel it was condensing was interrupted.

"It's incredible, Buneary actually achieved a speed breakthrough, catching Chimchar off guard!"

"Continue, Flame Wheel!" Paul's words had no emotional fluctuations.

"Chimchar!" Chimchar had not yet stood firm when it spat out flames again to release a move. Clearly, it was working very hard to fulfill its Trainer's command.

Marcus smiled slightly: "Then we'll continue too, Quick Attack!"

"Buneary!" Buneary's feet flew as she charged forward again.

Just as the two Pokemon were about to collide, Paul suddenly ordered: "Adjust direction!"

Flame Wheel made a detour and went around to Buneary's left side, intending to avoid her sharpness and attack from the side!

"Danger, Buneary, quickly dodge!" Marcus didn't expect the other party to have such flexibility.

"Buneary..." The little rabbit's slender eyes narrowed, and her feet suddenly stepped out, increasing her speed for an instant.

Because of this, the Flame Wheel that should have hit her head-on instead rolled past her back, just grazing her.

"Bang..." Buneary stumbled and fell to the ground, seemingly unaccustomed to her own speed.

Seeing this scene, Marcus felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, his emotions surging in his heart.

Marcus knew the potential and abilities of his initial partner, Buneary, like the back of his hand.

And in that instant just now, her speed had actually broken through her previous limit!

You know, when Marcus shouted the command, the flames of Flame Wheel were already close at hand! But it was in this split second that Buneary burst out half a body length!

"Tch... good luck..." Paul sneered, continuing to order a strong attack.

Marcus suppressed his inner excitement and commanded Buneary to continue using Quick Attack and Splash to dodge!

His gaze was fixed on Buneary's movements, especially that extra bit of speed...

However, unfortunately, the situation of suddenly increasing speed like before did not continue to appear.

Just as Marcus felt a little disappointed, the System sound suddenly rang out.

[Ding, Buneary has been running continuously and has learned the move 'Agility'!]

Agility: Uses willpower to temporarily enhance physical functions. Speed is increased by 2 stages after use.

"Huh?! This works too?" Marcus grinned.

He originally thought Buneary had suddenly awakened the Speed Boost ability, so he struck while the iron was hot and had her run circles around the field.

He didn't expect her to also master the practical move of Agility. It was an unexpected bonus...

Of course, for Chimchar, this was not so friendly.

After a series of chase battles, it had drawn a donut on the ground with Flame Wheel... but still couldn't catch up to the other party.

Now... Buneary easily lapped it, and a Quick Attack kick scattered its Flame Wheel...

"Buneary! (Little monkey, you're too slow~)" Buneary crossed her arms, looking like 'you can't do it'.

"Alright, stop playing, finish it, use High Jump Kick!"

"Dig!"

Paul's reaction could not be described as slow, but unfortunately, Chimchar was half a beat late under Buneary's taunting expression. High Jump Kick hit it directly, and it rolled weakly to the edge of the field.

"Chimchar is unable to battle, the winner is Trainer Marcus!"

"Hmph! Pathetic..." Paul snorted coldly, and a look of guilt appeared on Chimchar's face.

Paul turned and left directly, and Chimchar could only follow, covered in injuries.

Marcus took in this scene but didn't disturb his Big Brother's growth too much...

After all, on the road ahead, there was a fated Trainer waiting for it.

[Ding, won a battle against a higher level, gained Attack Talent Point ×3!]

Happily picking up Buneary, Marcus glanced at the Ability section:

[Buneary ♀ lv23 (Intermediate)]

Ability: Speed Boost [Slight Awakening] (Speed increases during battle, only a very small chance of triggering)

————

The color of the word Speed Boost was very light, almost invisible if you didn't look carefully.

But... even so, it already showed that Buneary had taken a solid step!

"Well done, little guy~" Marcus beamed with joy and took out a Pokeblock to put into the little rabbit's mouth.

In his heart, he was already calculating where to find a suitable place to train the Speed Boost ability.

After a while, the broadcast called Marcus's name for the second time.

And this time, standing opposite him was a graceful young woman with sky-blue long hair. The cowlick on top of her head swayed in the wind, and the tear mole at the corner of her eye added a bit of charm.

Marcus was stunned. Why did this girl look a little familiar?

"Next, it's still Trainer Marcus's battle, and this time he is challenging the Bronze Promotion Match, so he is matched with the Bronze-ranked Trainer Kahili! Everyone, let's look forward to it~"

?!!

Kahili!

Enlightenment flashed in Marcus's eyes.

Kahili is a genius golfer in the Alola Region, considered a well-known celebrity.

She didn't appear much in the anime, considered a half-passerby, as the anime's timeline was before the Alola League was established, and most characters' combat power was relatively weak.

However, in the game, Kahili is one of the powerful Elite Four of the Alola League, specializing in Flying types.

What impressed Marcus the most was that even though she was a celebrity and a rich second generation, she declared that she wanted to conquer the world...

A typical case of someone who could rely on their looks and parents to make a living, but insisted on relying on their strength...

The young woman nodded slightly towards Marcus: "Nice to meet you, my name is Kahili. Since this is your promotion match... I'll take it seriously..."

Saying that, she took out a golf club from the golf bag behind her and hit a Poke Ball: "Go, Toucannon! Raise the wind of victory~!"

[Toucannon lv35 (Advanced)]

Seeing the level, Marcus couldn't help but twitch his eye...

Toucannon, which is Kahili's signature Pokemon, her initial Pokemon, and also inevitably her strongest one.

Looking at the Poke Ball of Dolliv in his hand, he didn't know whether to throw it or not...

What the heck, I don't even know you? What's with this targeting?!

It was already a disadvantageous match against a Flying type, and now there was a 10-level difference. Even if Red came to fight, he couldn't win!
