Chapter 254: Duel at the Garbage Dump (Lightning Arena, Start!!)
At eight o'clock in the evening, Heimer and Pikachu came to an open space near the hospital to do some training related to tomorrow's battle.
At this moment, Pikachu kept his head down for some reason. Seeing this, Heimer squatted down and asked worriedly.
Chi Haimo: "Pikachu, what's wrong with you?"
After a moment of silence, Pikachu pointed at Heimer's back with his little finger, as if asking about his injuries.
Chi Haimo: "Oh, about this, don't worry, it has been bandaged, it won't be a big deal."
Pika: "Pika..."
Pikachu still seems unhappy, even though he usually has a sour face.
Chi Haimo: "Tomorrow we will challenge the Sandshrew. How are you preparing?"
Pikachu didn't respond to Heimer's question and seemed to be unprepared.
Chi Haimo: "Well, then, since you don't have any preparation, can I help you?"
Hearing Heimer's question, Pikachu glanced at Heimer, sighed helplessly, and then nodded slightly.
Chi Haimo: "Well, can I use the illustration to scan you and find out what moves you know?"
Pikachu thought for a long time, and finally turned his head to one side and nodded, as if to say to Hammer, it's up to you.
Seeing this, Heimer immediately took out the Pokémon encyclopedia and began to scan Pikachu.
(Hmm... Pikachu's moves include 100,000 Volts, Electric Field, Tile Splitting, and Angel's Kiss.)
Chi Haimo: "Very comprehensive, I didn't expect you to have a skill like Angel's Kiss, um, with a skill like this that can confuse the opponent, I guess tomorrow should be..."
Before Heimer could finish his words, Pikachu immediately made a panicked hushing gesture. It seemed that he was afraid that others would know that he could use the Angel's Kiss.
Chi Haimo: "Ah...Okay, well, then in tomorrow's battle, you don't plan to use this move?"
When Pikachu heard Heimer's question, he immediately shook his head. It seemed that he really didn't like the Angel's Kiss.
Chi Haimo: "Well, anyway, let me see how your other moves perform. First of all, 100,000 volts."
After hearing Heimer's instructions, Pikachu closed his eyes and the electricity slowly flowed through the hair on his body.
At this moment, under the starry sky, the arc of electric current makes Pikachu look like a glowing elf.
However, for some reason, after a long time, Pikachu's 100,000 volts was not used.
Chi Haimo: "Hmm? Pikachu, what's wrong?"
Faced with Heimer's question, Pikachu touched his head embarrassedly.
Chi Haimo: "It's okay, I'll just take a look and see how well you have mastered each move now."
At this moment, Pikachu looked up at Heimer, sighed lightly, and used 100,000 volts towards the sky.
I saw the electric current shooting from Pikachu's body into the sky, like a bunch of small fireworks, disappearing in an instant.
When Heimer saw this scene, he immediately understood why Pikachu seemed a little embarrassed just now.
(Hmm, this strength... It seems that Pikachu's electricity is naturally weak, so it can't use such a strong 100,000 volts like Xiaozhi's Pikachu.)
Chi Haimo: "Well... Next one, the electrical venue."
Compared to the 100,000 volts, the electrical field, Pikachu performed it very well. He gently pounded his fist into the ground, and the current flew, and the electrical field was instantly deployed.
After careful observation, Heimer discovered that the scope of the Pikachu Electrical Field was quite large.
(Hmm, this move in the electrical field is quite well mastered.)
Chi Haimo: "Then, the last one, splitting tiles."
Because Pikachu hates Angel's Kiss, Heimer didn't let him show this move.
At this moment, when Pikachu heard Heimer asking him to show his tile-splitting technique, the expression on his face immediately became confident. He stretched out his hands and chopped the ground hard.
There was a loud bang, and a huge pit was instantly created on the ground.
Chi Haimo: "Wow! This is a great move!"
When Pikachu heard Heimer's praise, he turned his head away with a little joy, as if he didn't want Heimer to see him being happy because of his praise.
Chi Haimo: "Well, let's start training, first of all, the accuracy of 100,000 volts."
After hearing what Heimer was planning, Pikachu immediately looked at him with doubts. From Pikachu's expression, it seemed that he was asking Heimer why he wanted to practice electric-attribute moves, since he was going to fight against the ground-attribute Sandslash tomorrow.
When Heimer saw Pikachu's expression, he immediately understood what Pikachu was wondering about, so he immediately said to Pikachu with a smile.
Chi Haimo: "Believe me, Pikachu, tomorrow, you will use your electric-attribute moves to defeat Sandslash handsomely."
Pikachu: "Pika..."
Although Pikachu was still full of doubts, for some reason, he was full of trust in Hammer at this moment. Perhaps it was because Hammer jumped out to protect him when Sandslash attacked him with the Ripping Claw.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time for the duel with Sandsand King.
At this moment, Sandslash was sitting on a broken sofa, waiting for the arrival of Heimer and Pikachu.
It was only twelve o'clock in the afternoon when Heimer and Pikachu arrived at the garbage dump as scheduled.
Chi Haimo: "Crossland King, here we are, let's get started."
When Sandslash saw Heimer and Pikachu coming, he jumped off the broken sofa without saying a word.
The duel was about to begin, and the sandshrews also walked behind the Sandshrew one after another to watch the upcoming duel.
After all the Sandshrews were seated, Sandslash waved handsomely at Highmore and Pikachu. It seemed that he wanted to prove his strength through the duel with Pikachu.
Chi Haimo: "Pikachu, are you ready?"
Pikachu: "Pikachu."
Pikachu nodded to Hammer and slowly walked forward, apparently ready for a fight.
At this moment, Sandslash looked at Pikachu fiercely, while Pikachu had the same sour face as always.
Chi Haimo: "Well, Sandslash King, let's begin!"
As soon as Heimer finished speaking, the Sandshovel immediately burrowed into the ground. Although its speed was not fast, its movements were very smooth.
(Hmm, his digging skills are pretty good. I originally thought that this Sandslash King was just a weakling with a fierce appearance but a reserved mind. Hmm, I can't be careless.)
Chi Haimo: "Pikachu, electric venue!"
After hearing Heimer's instructions, Pikachu immediately gathered the electricity on his tail and jumped lightly. After spinning neatly in the air, he quickly smashed the electricity gathered on his tail to the ground.
At this moment, the field was full of flying electric lights and lightning, making it look like an arena built entirely of electricity.
Pikachu is a Pokémon that is very sensitive to the flow of electricity. Therefore, at this moment, he is in the battle field unfolding in the electrical field. He can use the flow of electric current that makes up the electrical field to keenly capture the position of Sandslash the moment it breaks out of the ground.
After Pikachu used the Electric Field, Sandslash jumped up from behind Pikachu with a bang. With the flow of electricity on the field, the moment Sandslash came out from underground and touched the current on the electric field, all of its movements were seen through by Pikachu.
Chi Haimo: "Chop the tiles!"
After hearing Heimer's voice, Pikachu turned around and ran towards Sandslash at high speed.
Sandslash was caught off guard by Pikachu's quick reaction. Pikachu approached Sandslash and slapped him directly in the stomach.
Because yesterday during training, Heimer told Pikachu that Sandslash's weakness is its soft belly, and by attacking that belly, they could quickly win.
At this moment, Pikachu successfully used the Tile Split on Sandslash's belly. With the powerful strength of Pikachu, Sandslash was directly blown away by the Tile Split.
Chi Haimo; "Great! Pikachu!"
When Pikachu heard Heimer's praise, he raised his head proudly and chuckled happily.
Seeing that he couldn't rely on his digging trick to launch a sneak attack, Sandslash immediately spread his arms and used his Tearing Claws to rush towards Pikachu at high speed.
Chi Haimo: "Pikachu, split the tiles!!"
Fortunately, Heimer reminded him in time. Facing the sudden attack of Sandslash, Pikachu used his powerful strength to catch all the tiles. However, facing the powerful tearing claws of Sandslash, Pikachu's tile-splitting was just a catch.
Seeing this, Pikachu jumped back and made eye contact with Hammer.
After Heimer nodded slightly to Pikachu, Pikachu immediately jumped onto the garbage pile beside him and began to collect electricity.
When he came to the garbage dump yesterday, Heimer discovered that there were all kinds of garbage in the garbage dump, including many flammable and explosive discarded electronic products and some scrapped mechanical devices.
Therefore, in this battle, Pikachu's electric-attribute trick is the key to victory.
At this moment, Sandslash was chasing closely and quickly caught up after Pikachu jumped onto a pile of garbage.
The moment Pikachu saw Sandslash jumping onto the garbage dump, he immediately showed a terrifying smile, and then he quickly jumped up relying on his excellent jumping ability.
Chi Haimo; "Pikachu, now! 100,000 volts!"
Although Pikachu's electricity is naturally very weak, it is still more than enough to make those abandoned machines explode.
After Heimer gave the order, electric current flowed through Pikachu's body, gathered into a ball under Pikachu's control, and was quickly shot towards the garbage under Sandslash's feet.
When Sandslash saw Pikachu using an electric-attribute move on him, he not only did not dodge, but stood there with his hands on his hips and smiled.
Unfortunately, this confidence did not win him victory, but instead determined his failure.
With a loud bang, one hundred thousand volts hit the garbage under the feet of the Sandshrew, and a huge explosion instantly blew the Sandshrew away.
After Pikachu landed safely, Heimer saw the moment when Sandslash was about to land and immediately shouted to Pikachu.
Chi Haimo: "Pikachu, it's time to end the battle, use the final tile split!"
Pikachu turned around swiftly and ran quickly towards the direction where Sandslash was about to fall. In an instant, a heavy blow hit Sandslash's stomach again.
After being hit head-on by the tile-splitting attack, Sandshrew lost his ability to fight and fell to the ground.
When the sandmouse saw this scene, they all showed very surprised expressions on their faces. This may be because the Sandmouse King has always played an indispensable role in the hearts of the sandmouse.
At this moment, after the battle result came out, Pikachu put on a cool expression and bumped fists with Hammer handsomely. Then, he and Hammer came to the side of Sandslash and treated him.
After gradually regaining consciousness, Sandsand King sat there very unhappily.
Seeing this, Heimer gently touched his head and said.
Chi Haimo: "In fact, you are also very good. You don't have to belittle yourself just because you won a battle. After all, in many cases, failure is the beginning of victory, isn't it?"
Hearing what Heimer said, Pikachu crossed his arms over his chest and nodded coolly, as if to express his approval of Heimer's words.
Seeing that Sandslash was gradually recovering, Heimer planned to get up and leave with Pikachu.
Before leaving, Heimer spoke to Sandshrew in a serious tone.
Chi Haimo: "In fact, you can earn the respect of the Sandshrews by being a good big brother, right? So why do you want to deceive everyone? Just to make yourself feel comfortable? If you continue like this, the day when everyone finds out the truth will be the day when everyone will leave you. Are you really ready to endure all that?"
Heimer's words were very effective. After listening to what Heimer said, Sandshrew thought about it alone for a long time. Perhaps he was really afraid that he would end up like what Heimer said.
So, from that day on, Sandslash decided not to deceive everyone anymore, and decided to lead everyone well and become stronger together.
In fact, after the battle, Heimer and Pikachu hid in a secret corner of the garbage dump and carefully observed Sandshrew and the Sandshrews.
This is because they are worried that Sandshrew will continue to deceive the sandshrews, and secondly, it is out of some gossip mentality.
At this moment, seeing that everything seemed to be fine, Heimer stood up and spoke gently to Pikachu.
Chi Haimo: "Well, it seems that everything is fine. Let's go, Pikachu."
Pikachu nodded slightly, then crossed his arms across his chest and walked handsomely in front of Heimer.
In fact, after spending the past two days with Pikachu, Heimer discovered that Pikachu was not as he appeared to be. He actually had a gentle side in his heart, but he rarely showed it to the outside world, perhaps because he was afraid of being hurt.
But... these past two days, Heimer was really happy, because Pikachu seemed to have begun to believe in him, just like he had begun to believe in him.
After Heimer and Pikachu returned to the Pokémon Center, Walter called and said that all his recent work had been completed successfully and he could spend some time with Heimer.
Hmm... After hearing the news, Pikachu immediately and strongly requested to be teleported back to the research institute.
(Hmm... It seems that there is still some distance between Pikachu and Walter White...)
