Compared to wrist strength.
This time, the Pokémon the gambler was looking for - the Giant Claw Crab - was obviously much more common. The gambler just turned around twice and found a Giant Claw Crab in a dark corner.
Then send out Mosquito-Repellent to attack the opponent.
After two gym challenges, it killed a total of five opponents, which made its strength grow more or less. If nothing else, it can still bully wild Pokémon.
The giant crab was conquered by the gambler without any suspense.
[You have conquered the giant crab, and the number of young people has increased]
In order to have more chips in their hands, gamblers have also begun intensive training on one-hit-kill moves.
Although the physical fitness of Mosquito-incense-kun and Gou Li is relatively limited by their age, they are still much stronger than humans. At least Gou Li has learned [Earth Fracture] as expected.
The giant crab has also learned the [Head-Guillotining Pliers].
"Is it so efficient?"
Kashiwagi was a little surprised. He might not be able to learn skills as fast as the gamblers. Could this be the power of expertise?
The legendary immortal who can kill with one strike?
The gambler was undoubtedly very surprised by this. He was able to achieve such results for the first time he seriously trained Pokémon. He couldn't help but start to imagine that if he had worked harder when he was young, maybe things would be different now.
"It's just a gambler's fantasy."
Kashiwagi waved his hand at the narrator.
At present, he tends to have a negative attitude towards gamblers.
Whether it was the high-interest loan that this guy owed that put his grandson in life-threatening situation, or his attitude of playing pachinko despite the unclear situation, it made him extremely angry.
Disrespecting the elderly!
Born in the Oure region, he knew very well what kind of person gambling would turn him into. Whenever his childhood friends started gambling, even if they were just betting on the outcome of his battles, it made him extremely angry.
[You start challenging the Withered Leaf Gym for the second time]
Kashiwagi came back to his senses.
within the light screen.
The gambler still used the old routine to deal with the leader of the Withered Leaf Gym, and the target of sacrifice chosen this time was undoubtedly the newly joined Giant Claw Crab.
As a water-attribute Pokémon, it is at a great disadvantage when battling electric-attribute Pokémon.
With the help of the giant crab, the fight between Haoli and Mosquito-incense-kun became much smoother.
Especially the former.
The hit rate of [Ground Fissure] is much higher than the latter. Among the three Pokémon of the Leaf Gym Leader, two were killed by its Ground Fissure.
[You defeated the Withered Leaf Gym Leader and obtained the Withered Leaf Badge]
The current leader of the Withered Leaf Gym is a young man. He admires the gambler for coming out to pursue his dreams at such an old age. He has no aversion to his one-hit-kill tactics, but rather appreciates it.
The other party also took the initiative to help Hao Li experience the communication exchange that was considered novel at that time, allowing him to evolve into a powerful person.
[You find the machine in front of you particularly novel]
[Your power has evolved into super strength]
[You look at the four hands of Guai Li and think to yourself that it would be nice if you could have four hands when playing cards. It would be very convenient to cheat.]
...This old man is beyond help.
Kashiwagi looked at the narrator speechlessly.
He obtained all three badges by using a one-hit-kill move. In that era, such a person was indeed worthy of becoming a gimmick.
And under the Rockets' operation, gamblers were forced to become famous.
The narrator said that in order to make the gambler's situation more controversial and discussable, the Rockets even sent a group of people to protest his "opportunistic" behavior, sparking heated discussions in society.
The gambler at this time naturally did not know this. He was preparing to go to Nibi City, far west of Kanto, through the mole hole.
And prepare to add another general.
[You came to the mole hole, looking for your target this time. ]
The gambler's target this time is a gopher with sand hole characteristics.
This Pokémon can also learn Earthshatter, and its [Sand Hole] ability can restrict the opponent's Pokémon. In the game, it makes the opponent unable to leave the field. The effect in the animation...
"A small quicksand hell? It looks like it can increase the hit rate of the Earthshatter."
Kashiwagi looked at the mole on the screen that had created a sand pit to restrict Mosquito-kun's movements, and suddenly realized that he had also begun to think of one-hit-kill moves as the basis for his ideas.
pity.
It is difficult for wild moles to learn the move of ground cracking, so trapping Mosquito-Repellent will only force yourself to get covered in the face.
[You have conquered the mole, and the number of young people has increased]
After the gambler successfully subdued the mole, he quickened his pace and successfully arrived at Deep Gray City (Nibi City).
[You go to the underground casino here, but you find that everyone is looking at you with strange eyes for some reason, which makes you feel very uneasy, so you turn around and leave]
Having been in the gambler business for so long, he still had a strong sense of crisis. He did not stay in a place like Deep Gray City where he was unfamiliar with the place for long. He prepared to quickly challenge the gym and then leave.
did not expect.
The dark grey gym leader, a squinty eyed man named Takenō, revealed his name and tactical style.
Then the gambler learned everything from the other party in a daze.
[You look at the newspaper that the other person hands you, and see the debate on whether the one-hit-kill strategy is a fraudulent tactic and whether it should be banned, and you can't help but sigh.]
It's really bullshit.
Kashiwagi nodded. The gambler did not choose the one-hit-kill style of his own will, but his Pokémon training experience and age were not enough for him to defeat his opponent by normal means, so he chose this tactic.
After taming the mole and the giant crab, the gambler also thought about training them seriously, relying on ordinary tactics and one-hit-kill flow to support each other and enhance the effect.
However, the profession of trainer is more profound than he thought.
The progress of Gopher and Giant Claw Crab in all aspects is really not strong, so the gambler can only try his best to upgrade their levels, otherwise he can't even use the one-hit-kill flow.
[You begin to challenge the Dark Gray Gym]
The gym owner, Wu Neng, is undoubtedly Xiaogang's father. In this world, he is still quite young, so young that he may not even be twenty years old.
But such a hall owner still puts gamblers in a tough battle.
First of all, the levels of Crab and Diglett are not as high as those of the martial arts Pokémon, so the gambler can only rely on his super strength and Mosquito-kun.
Fortunately, the two have advantages in attributes, and sometimes if the ground crack fails to hit, you can use other moves to restrain it.
But it is still very difficult.
In the end, the gambler barely won after three challenges, and he also saw his own limits -
[You defeated the Dark Gray Gym Leader and obtained the Dark Gray Badge]
Gym challenges are not as simple as imagined. Even if your tactics are recognized by the gym leader, it will be useless if the Pokémon's strength is not improved.
Chapter 568 Rising to Fame
Face difficulties.
The gambler didn't struggle for as long as Kashiwagi thought.
After initial attempts, he found that he really had no talent for breeding Pokémon, so he threw the problem to Team Rocket.
[You think that even if you are lucky enough to get a few badges, it is impossible to cause such a big fluctuation. It can only be Team Rocket behind this.]
[You understand that no matter what the Rockets want, their bargaining chips have increased]
Good guy!
Negotiate with the Rockets!
Kashiwagi was almost beginning to admire the gambler. Not many people had such courage. It was not like he had seen too many antics of the Rocket trio.
This organization, which has long been lurking in the Kanto region with the intention of expanding outward, has never been a group of good guys and girls.
Sakaki is definitely not as funny as Meow Meow imagined...
Is it Sakaki's turn to take the top position in this era?
While he was thinking, the gambler in the picture was suddenly put into a sack.
follow closely.
A beating began.
[You didn't expect Team Rocket to react so violently. You could only endure their attack silently.]
Fifty-seven is considered an awkward age even for people in the Pokémon world.
Although his physical strength is not as good as that of older people, he can still take a beating. He is not as fragile as people in their seventies or eighties who cannot withstand a beating.
In short.
The Rockets gave him a beating to warn him not to get greedy, and the gambler took it.
[You heard the other party agree to your request, and you endured the pain in your body and smiled.]
"Um……"
Kashiwagi's expression was a little complicated.
Torture and beatings were common in the Ourei region, but they always made him feel a little out of place when they appeared in the main series.
Of course, he also understood that this was caused by the deep filter of his own era.
Peace in the main series region was not established overnight. At least in the era when the gambler lived, the Rocket Team lurking in the dark did a lot of blatant evil things such as usury and personal threats.
There is nothing new under the sun...
The gambler's request was simple. He asked the Rockets to help him find the remaining two Pokémon of high enough levels to complete the team.
It doesn't matter if he just has levels, after all, his tactical style is to kill with one strike.
By the way, there are upgrades for giant crabs and gophers.
