In this way, if he rides a few more dragons, he will soon be able to return to his normal height.
Back at camp, Professor Oak had already marked out a standard battleground, which would be the location where the campers would fight today.
Byunta looked around and saw that there were eight groups: Red Group, Green Group, Ash Group, Gary Group, and three other groups of passersby, plus himself and Serena.
To obtain the final score, three rounds of competition are required.
Byunta walked over and took the sandwich that Koharu handed him; it was breakfast that Serena had made.
"Bian Tai, is it delicious?" Serena asked, her hands behind her back, looking at him expectantly.
"Of course, I love everything Serena makes~" Byunta pinched her from an angle where no one could see, the round and full feel of her was wonderful.
"Hmm..." Serena's pretty face flushed slightly, and she lowered her eyes.
"Byunta, who are you going to field in the first match later?" Nanami asked as she walked over with the registration form.
"Well... Xiaochun will go first."
"Huh?!" Xiaochun, who was munching on bread, suddenly froze, looking surprised. "Me??"
“Don’t worry,” Byunta said, taking out a deluxe ball: “Rapidfire will fight alongside you.”
"I... I think I'll pass," Xiaochun waved her hands repeatedly. "I'm afraid if we lose, our points might be overtaken. Let Serena go instead."
Byunta reached out and patted her head: "I remember, Koharu, you haven't decided on your goal yet, have you? Why not experience it through battles? Maybe you'll gain some new insights?"
"But..." Xiaochun hesitated, still lacking confidence.
"It's okay, winning or losing isn't important. More than points, I hope you can become better, Xiaochun~"
Byun Tae smiled and tucked her slightly messy hair behind her ear.
“Brother Bian Tai…” Koharu stared at him intently, her eyes sparkling.
The little girl is very innocent, so innocent that she could be captivated by Byunta at their first meeting, but every living being has the ability to feel love.
Although she didn't understand, what Byunta showed was the emotion she had never experienced.
"Okay, I'll do my best!" Xiaochun nodded firmly with a determined look on her face.
[Ding! Xiaochun has confirmed the host's feelings. The favorability rating has reached its maximum. The goddess-taming function has been updated... The effects of the 'protagonist' and 'performer' tags have been enhanced.]
The system voice reached Bian Tai's ears, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
The results of the first round of the draw were soon announced:
Xiao Mao, Xiao Lü, and Xiao Chi each faced off against three other groups of passersby, while Xiao Chun's opponent was the arrogant Xiao Hao.
"My opponent is Xiaochun... then I'm definitely going to win."
Xiao Hao crossed his arms and tilted his chin almost to the sky.
"Oh right, I remember you still owe me a bet, right?" Byun Tai moved his feet slightly and appeared next to Xiao Hao in a flash, a can of 'sunscreen spray' already in his hand.
"I heard this stuff is good for sun protection, why don't you try it for me..."
After saying that, he sprayed it at Xiao Hao.
"呲-"
"Cough cough cough...!" Xiao Hao coughed as he stepped out of the mist. Just as he was about to scold Bian Tai, he felt a strange sensation in his body, a feeling he couldn't quite describe...
[Ding! Using the Viagra Spray, Xiao Hao will gradually change over the next period of time, eventually becoming a qualified monster...]
"Tsk..." Byunta threw the empty jar far away, afraid that the stuff would get on him.
Perhaps the spray had an effect, but Xiao Hao became less noisy, and the battle started quickly.
First up was Red's partner, Poliwag. Red gave him Poliwag, and thanks to its level advantage, Poliwag won without a doubt.
The second contestant was Little Green, who, with his talent for nurturing, taught Charmander the Flamethrower skill in just a few days.
As the saying goes, "one trick is all you need to conquer the world," and Xiao Lü's partner basically adopted a simple tactic of long-range kiting combined with firepower suppression, which made them invincible.
After a somewhat lengthy back-and-forth battle, they successfully advanced.
In the third match, Shigeru's girlfriend took to the field. Unlike Green, Shigeru sent out his Growlithe, who had grown up with him.
Although his girlfriend was giving him nonsensical instructions the whole time, Growlithe's sense of smell combined with its extremely high mobility still allowed it to completely overwhelm its opponent.
At this point, only the last two matches remain: Xiao Hao and Xiao Chun.
Under Hyunta's encouraging gaze, Haru slowly walked onto the battle platform and gently tossed out a Poké Ball: "Go, Rapidash!"
“lop…”
As Rapidash bursts out of its Poké Ball engulfed in flames, the temperature of the surrounding air rises slightly.
"Wow, it's evolved already..." Professor Oak looked at Byunta with admiration.
He knew very well that Ponyta needed to reach around the elite level to evolve.
"Pikachu, go and attack it!"
Xiao Hao was giving Pikachu orders without any strategy or method.
“Pikachu…” The yellow-skinned rat remained unmoved by him.
"Use the discharge function quickly!" Xiao Hao shouted again, feeling embarrassed.
"..." Little Green rolled her eyes speechlessly: "How could Pikachu, which just got its hands on it, possibly know a wide-range attack like Electric Shock..."
Akatsuki looked at the Fire Horse in front of Haru with great interest: "That little Fire Horse has become so strong... I really want to see just how strong Byunta really is!"
“lop...~”
The fiery horse turned to look at Xiaochun, and a connection was established between them through a thought.
Having a psychic form, she is very skilled in mental power, and she used this method to relieve Xiaochun's tension.
"Alright, Flame Steed, charge forward and use Charged Flame Strike!"
"Teng!"
As soon as Xiaochun finished speaking, flames ignited around Rapidash, and everyone felt a wave of heat. The next second, Rapidash, engulfed in flames, crashed into Pikachu!
"Get out of the way!" Xiao Hao shouted.
However, Pikachu scoffed at his command and instead looked at Rapidash with some curiosity.
"Pikachu!!"
An electric arc lit up from the electrical sac on his cheek, and a bright beam of 100,000 volts shot out immediately.
"boom..."
The fiery horse charged straight at them.
Thick smoke billowed out, obscuring the situation inside.
"Xiaochun..." Byunta reminded him, snapping his fingers at the same time.
"Oh, Rapidash! If you can hear me, use Quick Attack!"
"Shh-"
A white light shone from the smoke, and Rapidash immediately crashed into Pikachu, sending it flying into the air.
"Stomp!" Xiaochun shouted urgently.
"lop!"
The fiery horse reared up and trotted down precisely.
"Boom..."
The ground trembled slightly, and Pikachu collapsed, severely injured.
Before it could struggle, the fiery steed's single horn suddenly lengthened amidst a metallic sheen, lying across its neck.
Long Horn: A Steel-type physical attack move with a power of 70 and guaranteed to hit.
"..."
For a moment, all around was silent. No one would have thought that Xiaochun, a little girl who didn't even have an elf, could command such a series of continuous attacks.
Chapter 55 First Battle: Byunta's Battle Against a Higher Level
"Battle over! Rapidash and Haru are the victors!"
Professor Oak announced the results.
"Brother Byunta!" Koharu ran over with her Rapidash, her little face full of excitement.
"You won, are you happy?" Byun Tae patted her head.
"Yes! Thanks to my brother's advice~"
Koharu smiled brightly, and her dependence on Byunta rose once again.
Before the match started, Byunta had already prepared this combo that could be considered a sure kill for her. Against opponents who were not high-level or small in size, the combination of charge, stomp, and long horn was simply too much for them to handle.
"Ugh..." Xiaohao stomped his foot as he watched Xiaochun and Biantai interact, then left without looking back.
"Pikachu, are you alright?"
Ash picked up Pikachu, who was covered in wounds, and said with heartache.
“Pikachu…” Pikachu glanced at him and then turned its head away.
It has not yet fully endorsed this trainer.
Next was the break, during which the campers had lunch and rested.
As for Byunta, he naturally led the three girls back to the tent.
With the experience gained the first time, subsequent developments were a natural progression.
It wasn't until 2 p.m. that Byunta came out of the tent again.
However, this time none of the three girls were with him...
There were just three extra cream puffs gushing out of the tent.
As for the bedding, plum blossoms were blooming beautifully...
Under the double blow of the initial shock and the healing, Serena and her two companions were like riding a rollercoaster, repeatedly taking off and landing.
The thought of Koharu's cotton-socked feet, Serena's long legs in black stockings, and Nanami's trembling desire to please her made Byunta's lips curl into a smile.
The battle soon broke out.
The first match is between Akira and Shigeru.
Seemingly taking into account the Politoed Frog in Red's possession, Gary didn't send out Growlithe this time, but instead chose Squirtle, which he had only been training for a few days.
Red, on the other hand, unexpectedly chose Bulbasaur to fight.
When he saw Bulbasaur appear, Gary's expression turned grim.
"That guy, Red... seems to have predicted Shigeru's choice..." Green shook his head; in his opinion, the outcome of the battle was already decided.
"Huh? Is there a reason for this?" Ash asked, puzzled.
"Strategic planning is an essential skill for trainers who have multiple Pokémon."
Byunta glanced at him and explained.
After all, he's my adopted son. If he matures a little earlier, maybe Ash will grow up faster in the future.
After all, in his previous life, Byunta was a loyal viewer who had watched Tomoya for over twenty years.
Next, the battle between the three main types of fish—the garlic toad, the sizzling turtle, and the giant toad—officially began.
Because its level wasn't high, its attribute advantage played a significant role. Despite its efforts to resist Bulbasaur's vine whip, Squirtle ultimately succumbed to its shell's power.
"Squirtle is unable to battle, Red and Bulbasaur advance to the finals!"
Professor Oak announced the result: Red, unsurprisingly, maintained Pallet Town's winning streak.
"What a pity...it would have been better if it were Growlithe..." Xiao Shi walked out of the arena with a sigh.
Little Green shook his head: "The result won't change, because that Bulbasaur is about to evolve. If you use Growlithe, it might just add fuel to the fire."
"Huh?" Xiao Mao was taken aback and turned to look at Xiao Chi.
