Chapter 16: Battle with Two Best Friends

Half a month later

Su Hao and Carbink had not been fighting to level up all the time in the past half month.

A large part of the time was spent on special training to exercise Carbink's use of 【Dazzling Gleam】 and 【Meteor Beam】 moves.

Using the diamonds existing all over Carbink's body as a medium, it conducted the Rock and Fairy energy condensed in Carbink's body to release Dazzling Gleam and Meteor Beam moves.

The Dazzling Gleam move released through the diamonds had a larger coverage and stronger power, and could also be shrunk like a shield to resist the opponent's energy attacks for Carbink.

Meteor Beam was released through the diamond on Carbink's head. As a high-power move, ordinary Pokémon need a not-short period of charging before using it to increase their special attack before radiating it, and Pokémon at this stage cannot move at will.

Carbink also released moves through diamonds. Under the condition that diamonds on Carbink's body were high-quality energy conduction media, the condensation time of the Meteor Beam move was shortened by one-third, and the cost of use was greatly reduced.

Yesterday, after the special training was completed, Carbink, relying on the Dazzling Gleam shield and the ultimate output of Meteor Beam, even crossed tiers and easily defeated a 25-level Ordinary-level Pokémon, Scyther, with its 17-level Novice-level Pokémon body.

In the past half month, although Su Hao and Carbink did not focus on leveling up, daily training, absorbing the energy of the pink diamond, and the Scyther defeated yesterday also pushed Carbink from level 12 to level 18, and it was almost out of the Novice stage.

Pokémon: 【Carbink】 【Mutation 10%】

Type: 【Rock, Fairy】

Gender: 【None】

Ability: 【Clear Body】

Level: 【18】

Moves: 【Tackle, Harden, Dazzling Gleam (Shield), Meteor Beam, Reflect, Light Screen, Ancient Power, Guard Split, Flail...】

After Carbink reached level 18, the progress of mutating into Diancie also reached 10%.

Carbink had already absorbed the first pink diamond. The pink diamond did not increase Carbink's level, but expanded the upper limit of energy that Carbink's body could accommodate.

Carbink, which had more energy, would have stronger move power and higher endurance.

————————————

Today, Su Hao, Li Hua, and Jiang Chengcheng agreed to have a Pokémon battle among the three to test the results of each other's half-month cultivation.

In the three-person small group, Su Hao proposed to set the location in his own private training room.

After all, the training room had a large venue and strong privacy.

After agreeing to the battle, the system suddenly popped up and released a task.

【Ding! The conditions for task release are met, now releasing the task—】

【Win the battle against best friends Li Hua and Jiang Chengcheng tomorrow!】

【Reward: System currency x500, Protect Skill Learning Machine x2】

The system released a task after a long time, and Su Hao became even more determined to win today's battle.

Because winter had not ended yet, the outdoor weather was very cold.

Unlike the cold weather outside, the temperature in the training room was very suitable because of the central air conditioning, and one could even wear short sleeves and shorts inside.

Li Hua, who was wrapped tightly in three layers inside and three layers outside, and the Rookidee shrinking in his arms, performed an on-the-spot "resurrection" after entering the warm training room.

On the other side, Jiang Chengcheng was the other extreme from Li Hua. The girl was wearing a thin training suit (refer to Bea) and, like the Machop beside her, looked as if she was not afraid of the severe cold at all.

After half a month of their respective training, the Pokémon data of the two people scanned by Su Hao's system appeared in his eyes.

Pokémon: 【Rookidee】

Type: 【Flying】

Gender: 【♂】

Ability: 【Keen Eye】

Level: 【12】

Moves: 【Leer, Peck, Swagger, Hone Claws, Fury Attack, Agility, Brave Bird】

Li Hua and Rookidee rose from level 5 to level 12 in half a month. Although everyone leveled up relatively quickly in the early stage, it was already considered

very good without system assistance. According to this progress, there is a chance to let 【Rookidee】 touch the edge of the Ordinary stage and complete an evolution into 【Corvisquire】 before school starts.

And the Machop on the other side was even stronger.

Pokémon: 【Machop】

Type: 【Fighting】

Gender: 【♀】

Ability: 【Guts】

Level: 【14】

Moves: 【Leer, Low Kick, Focus Energy, Revenge, Low Sweep, Bullet Punch, Counter, Thunder Punch】

Jiang Chengcheng and Machop were not beyond Su Hao's expectations, having a full level 14, and also learned one of the "Three Elemental Punches," Thunder Punch, which currently had a type advantage over Li Hua.

Su Hao felt it was quite reasonable for Jiang Chengcheng and Machop to have such a level. After all, the pictures she posted in the group were either practicing or on the way to practice, and she also had a professional martial artist father to train her one-on-one.

Li Hua was training, but he didn't fall behind in playing, and he also checked in at many internet-famous spots during this time.

"Then let's start. How to allocate the order?" Jiang Chengcheng and Machop, who had warmed up, came over from the side and asked Li Hua and Su Hao.

After receiving Jiang Chengcheng's question, Su Hao and Li Hua looked at each other and said in unison: "Draw lots!"

Su Hao tore a piece of white paper from his notebook, divided it into three parts, wrote two numbers on two of these three parts, and then crumpled the white paper into three paper balls.

"The two people who draw the numbers will fight first, then the person with the number 1 will fight the person who didn't draw, and finally the person with the number 2 will fight the person who didn't draw."

"Simple and rude rules, but very effective." Li Hua nodded in agreement.

"I have no opinion." Jiang Chengcheng also agreed to the proposal.

"Then let's start!" Su Hao put the paper balls in his closed palms and shook them up and down, then opened his palms.

Li Hua and Jiang Chengcheng each took a paper ball, and Su Hao opened the remaining paper ball, and the paper ball was written with "2".

Li Hua's was "1", and Jiang Chengcheng didn't draw one.

The order became Li Hua vs. Su Hao, Li Hua vs. Jiang Chengcheng, Su Hao vs. Jiang Chengcheng.

First was Li Hua vs. Su Hao.

Li Hua, standing on the ground on one side of the field, raised his hands in front of his mouth and shouted to Su Hao opposite: "Go easy on me~ Brother Su!"

Su Hao waved to Li Hua and let Carbink go on the field to prepare.

"Battle, start!" Jiang Chengcheng, who acted as the referee, announced the start of the battle.
