Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Electrabuzz Defeated by Caterpie
A few minutes later...
Bang!
With another [impact] from Caterpie, Electrabuzz fell to the ground exhausted. It tried to get up again, but it no longer had any strength.
Electrabuzz's red eyes stared blankly at the sky, with no sense of focus in their eyes.
It lost, lost to a Caterpie.
They are the kind of Caterpies that are very common in the forest. It can knock over a bunch of them with one kick and stun a large number of them with a random discharge of electricity. It has never taken them seriously.
In fact, it didn't think much about the battle at first.
After all, its owner was in the other party's hands, so it could only let it go and deal with it casually.
As for the slightly larger Caterpie that was fighting it.
It admitted that Caterpie had some strength, but it never really thought that Caterpie would be its opponent, even though Caterpie was an elite Pokémon like it.
Thanks to Raymond's training and teaching, Electrabuzz has a clear understanding of himself.
It is a Pokémon with a high racial value comparable to the Big Three, and has very good talents, and is also outstanding among its peers.
Therefore, its attention should not be focused on those ordinary garbage Pokémons.
According to Raymond, its real target should be those powerful Pokémons who have already become famous.
It was just born a little late. As it continues to grow, those powerful Pokémons will surely be surpassed by it.
This is also true.
It had already grown to the elite level more than half a year ago, and now it is setting out to enter the senior level.
Four months ago, it defeated a long-established elite Parasaurolophus by going against its own attributes, and it did not enter the "Lightning Resonance" state with Raymond. (Electric attacks are not very effective against Grass-type Pokémon.)
Two months ago, it also defeated a senior Bulbasaur by going against its own attributes, and it did not enter the "Lightning Resonance" state with Raymond.
Its strength should be very strong.
Its owner also said that it is very powerful, and that in its current state, it will comprehend the secret of energy circulation in at most one year, become a senior-level Pokémon, and become even stronger.
However, it still lost, lost to a Caterpie, a garbage Pokémon that it thought it could easily defeat with its eyes closed.
Electrabuzz recalled the battle scene.
At first, it just dealt with it casually, using some lightning moves.
As a result, its lightning attack couldn't even touch Caterpie.
As if it could read its mind, every time when it was about to perform a move, Caterpie would use a technique similar to [Flash of Lightning] to dodge instantly. Even its specialized [Electric Shock (Tracking Current)] would be miraculously dodged by this Caterpie.
If it relaxes even a little, Caterpie will rush forward and hit it twice.
It also realized something during the continuous attacks.
In fact, the current battle had already been experienced not long ago.
But at that time, because it saw Raymond being beaten up, it was already blinded by anger and its body's actions were basically based on instinct. So it only remembered that this Caterpie was a little strong, but it couldn't remember exactly where it was strong.
So, Electrabuzz gradually began to take Caterpie seriously.
It adjusts the order of its moves, uses some combos, and stimulates its [static electricity] property, filling its body surface with electricity.
As a result, the situation on the battlefield remained unchanged.
There is no need to think about close combat, as it cannot even get close to Caterpie, so it can only use long-range attacks.
Although there are occasional opportunities to hit with lightning, the number of times is too few.
Not only that, as time went on, it discovered that the caterpillar was making progress in the fight, and after becoming familiar with its attack patterns, it became increasingly difficult for Electrabuzz to hit it.
On the other hand, due to its physical strength, the current accumulated on its body surface due to the [static electricity] property began to occasionally go out.
Caterpie did not miss this opportunity and seized its weakness to launch a fierce attack. Every time the electric current on its body went out, Caterpie would immediately come over and attack it one or two times.
It wanted to fight back, but all its counterattacks would be seen through and dodged by Caterpie, and it was always helpless against Caterpie.
Finally, as time passed, it fell down covered with wounds.
It lost to a Caterpie, and saw no chance of a comeback. It was completely defeated...
…
Electrabuzz stared straight at the clouds in the sky. With a rustling sound, the strong insect-catching boy walked over and looked down at it.
Then, the insect-catching boy spoke to it.
"There are two main problems with your actual combat training.
First of all, I don't know if you have noticed that compared to your previous furious attack, although your fight with Caterpie just now was more methodical, the power of the moves you used was obviously much smaller.
If you can use the power of your angry moves while remaining calm, your overall strength will definitely move up a notch.
This way, your actual combat training against Caterpie will be more effective.
As for the second point, I have clearly told you that you should restrain Caterpie by attacking me, which can also improve the training effect of Caterpie, but you completely forgot it.
I hope you can pay attention to these two points next time, so that future practical training will become more efficient..."
Electrabuzz stared at the sky, in a daze.
The owner was caught and tortured by Caterpie, and its subsequent life as a human (animal) seemed to have no meaning.
Then, it suddenly realized something, blinked, and then, enduring the pain in its body, turned its head and looked at Mark.
Listening to what this human said, it seemed as if it would have to fight this Caterpie again?
It had already lost, and it couldn't win even if it fought again...
"Hey, hey, hey, hey?"
Mark did not hide it and told the next plan: "Well, when you recover a little, we will continue the actual combat training.
Both you and your master Raymond are very good. You also master the resonance technique. I think I can learn from it and also conduct practical training through you.
Besides, I also want to know more about the Titan Caterpie.
Don't worry, if nothing unexpected happens, I won't do anything to you or your master. I don't like violence and I have never killed anyone.
I have killed Pokémons... but it was only me and Caterpie who were forced to fight back.
If you and your master cooperate with each other, I will let you go. After all, I am just an ordinary person who is indecisive. If I kill you, I will not be able to get over it. "
"Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss!"
"Hiss, hiss!"
"Ss ...
Caterpie not far away also came over, revealing a look full of fighting spirit. He expressed his approval of Mark's kindness and love, while encouraging the electric beast.
In the battle just now, Electrabuzz used several lightning techniques. Even if it had a mind, there were several moves that it couldn't avoid. It was really, really powerful.
The problem is that he hasn't mastered the power of his moves very well. If Electrabuzz can use the power of its moves when it's furious, then its training efficiency will be even better.
In fact, it's not just it. You can also get training by electrocuting monsters in battle and grow with them.
In Mark's words, it's a win-win situation!
Listening to Caterpie's encouragement to Electrabuzz, Mark patted the little guy's head lovingly and placed a handful of orange fruits next to Electrabuzz.
"These are orange fruits, which can help heal your injuries. I'll leave them here first. When you've finished eating, you can call me and I'll put you back into the Poké Ball. It is said that you can rest better in the Poké Ball.
By the way, you should know the [Electric Grid] move, right? When you have rested enough, you can try to teach Caterpie."
Mark finished speaking and stopped observing Electrabuzz. He first looked at the sky, and then walked towards Gothita not far away again...
