Chapter 22 Shinji Appears
"Shinji..."
Xiaoyun looked at the purple-clothed young man standing under the tree. He had a cold look in his eyes and exuded a temperament that kept strangers away.
It is undoubtedly Shinji, Satoshi's rival in Sinnoh in the original work.
As for Shinji, Xiaoyun actually thinks that Shinji is on the right track in his approach to Pokémon training.
Think about the Pokémon under Shinji in the anime, whether it is Electabuzz, Kugrim, Squirtle, etc., they are all trained very well, especially Squirtle, which has fully utilized its advantages and brought out its strengths to the fullest.
Although he often releases some Pokémon that he thinks are not qualified, it is much better than discarding Pokémon and then making up a lie to let Pokémon fend for themselves in the city. People like Gou Hao are really irresponsible to Pokémon.
However, not every Pokémon can adapt to Shinji's training method. For example, Flame has psychological trauma and is not suitable for Shinji's repressive education. Encouraging education is more suitable.
Shinji also knew this, so he deliberately released Flame in front of Satoshi, which was equivalent to handing it over to Satoshi in disguise. He also kept an eye on Flame in the later period. It can be said that he is an opponent with very well portrayed character.
"So this Pikachu is the Pokémon you were looking for so anxiously?"
Shinji, who was standing under the tree, looked at Pikachu lying on Xiaozhi's shoulder with a cold expression.
"Are you the trainer who released Mukle in the forest just now?"
After hearing the purple-haired boy speak to him, Xiaozhi remembered Shinji.
"You haven't answered my question yet. I see that this Pikachu isn't very strong, so why do you look so anxious?"
Shinji looked at Satoshi who didn't answer his question and spoke again.
"Because Pikachu is my partner, we are the strongest duo."
"Pikapi."
Xiaozhi told Shinji his reasons, and Pikachu also spoke as if to prove Xiaozhi's words.
"How ridiculous! I thought this Pikachu had some incredible power, but I didn't expect it to give such a childish answer."
"Partner? Ha. That's ridiculous."
Shinji was somewhat disappointed when he heard Xiaozhi's answer, and his tone was full of disdain.
"What did you say? What right do you have to say that about us?"
Xiaozhi immediately retorted when he heard that Shinji dared to question his bond with Pikachu.
"Am I wrong? Pokémon are Pokémon. They can never become partners."
"Only the strength gained through continuous training and powerful tactics are everything. If you think you can gain a place in this world with just passion, it will always be a foolish dream."
"It's just a joke."
Shinji seemed to remember something and continued to express his opinion in a cold tone.
"Xiaoyun, what this person said is really too much. I feel like his Pokémon is really pitiful."
Xiaoguang felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Shinji say such cold words, and turned to look at Xiaoyun.
“I can only say that everyone’s way of training Pokémon is different.
But he is right, strength and tactics are indeed the most important aspects of a trainer. If a trainer does not have a level that matches the Pokémon, the Pokémon will dislike him. "
Xiaoyun did not refute Shinji's words. After all, strength and tactics are indeed important, but the bond between the trainer and Pokémon is also an indispensable part.
The two people in front of me can only be said to be two extremes.
"You! I don't agree with what you said."
"I think the relationship between Pokémon is that of a family and a forever partner. I believe we can overcome all difficulties through joint efforts."
"Pikapi."
Xiaozhi quickly refuted Shinji. In his heart, he didn't agree with what Shinji had just said at all. In his opinion, strength is important, but the bond between the trainer and Pokémon is the most important.
"Uh..." Xiaoyun looked at Xiaozhi and actually thought in his heart that you and Pikachu are indeed a family, but the same is somewhat lacking for other Pokémon.
Lizard King, Charizard, Snorlax are all so powerful, but they were all thrown into the backyard of Professor Oak to live out their lives, without even asking if they were willing. Poor Pidgeot is still waiting for your call in Viridian Forest.
In fact, even if you want to capture new Pokémon in a new area, you should at least bring two old ones with you to give them some fresh air. In this respect, you are not as good as Shinji.
"In that case, let's have a Pokémon battle. It's 3v3. With the Pikachu on your shoulder, you should have three Pokémon."
Shinji looked at Satoshi in front of him and said nothing more. He had seen too many hot-blooded guys like him. To deal with such people, a direct battle would be much more effective than talking.
"Okay, let's go Pikachu."
"Pikapi."
Xiaozhi saw that he was not afraid when Shinji challenged him to a battle, and turned around to encourage Pikachu on his shoulder before the game.
"Then let me be the referee of this game." The good guy Xiaogang also appeared and stood in the middle of the grass and began to act as a referee.
"This competition will be between Xiaozhi and..." Xiaogang suddenly remembered that he didn't know the name of the purple-clothed boy.
"My name is Shinji." Shinji also spoke to Xiaogang.
"Okay, then this time, Satoshi and Shinji will compete in a 3v3 match. There are no requirements. If all three Pokémon on one side lose their combat ability, they will be considered the loser."
Professional referee Xiaogang announced the rules of the competition, and the competition officially started the moment Xiaogang finished speaking.
"Muker, come out and fight."
"It's Muk'er, so are we, come out Muk'er."
"Muk~" x2
As Shinji released a M'ker, Satoshi also released his M'ker, and the battle between the two M'kers began.
Xiaozhi commanded his Mukle to use Lightning Flash to attack first in order to take the initiative in this game.
Shinji remained motionless and waited until Satoshi's Mukle approached, then used Shadow Clone to dodge, but Satoshi's Mukle missed.
Then he turned around and used his wings to attack. Shinji followed closely and directed his Mukor to use Swallow Return to not only avoid the attack closely, but also ended the battle neatly with a Thomas Turn from behind.
"Is this cold guy so strong?"
Xiaoguang looked at Shinji and won the first game easily, then said with some surprise.
"Calm command and good response ability, as expected of Shinji. I just don't know who is better between him and Xiaoyun."
Dr. Yamanashi couldn't help but sigh, because Shinji really has his own unique ideas when it comes to Pokémon.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mukeer. I was careless this time."
"Go ahead, long-tailed monster."
Xiaozhi used the Poké Ball to take back Mukker, but he was not discouraged. He threw out the Poké Ball of Razorback and continued fighting.
"Come back, the little flame monkey is ready to fight."
Shinji gave up the advantage of using Mukor and threw out a new Pokémon to start the second round of battle. A small flame monkey with flames on its butt appeared on the battlefield in a flash of red light.
