Kairous charged towards Squirtle, using its hard body to ram into Squirtle.
Although the Warrior Boy's Kairous wasn't very good, it still looked intimidating.
Xiao Mao snapped his fingers and commanded, "Water Gun!"
Squirtle puffed out its cheeks and fired a straight Water Gun. Knowing that Kairous was too large, Squirtle knew that the Bullet Seed wouldn't be able to stop it.
The impact of the Water Gun did manage to block Kairous, but it wasn't pushed back. Kairous forced its way through the Water Gun.
Despite its low level, Kairous's base stat of 500 wasn't a joke. It wasn't that easy to defeat.
Moreover, in the original story, that idiot Xiao Zhi didn't manage to defeat the Warrior Boy's Kairous. They were just two fools showing off.
"Kairous, charge!" the Warrior Boy shouted in encouragement.
With the Warrior Boy's voice, Kairous seemed to receive a boost. Using its brute force, it pushed back the Water Gun.
"You can stop now. Use Rapid Spin to move, maintain a distance between yourself and Kairous. Use Water Gun whenever Kairous gets close," Xiao Mao commanded.
Squirtle stopped using Water Gun. It retreated into its shell, rapidly spinning itself and using the centrifugal force to float in mid-air, moving at high speed.
"Kai..."
Kairous was a little stunned. It didn't expect a turtle to be able to run so fast. Kairous wasn't slow itself, but whenever it was about to catch up, it would be disrupted by the Water Gun.
"This...!" the Warrior Boy was very distressed. As a newbie, he had never seen such a professional kite-flying tactic and didn't know how to break it.
After only a few rounds, Kairous fell. Squirtle also poked its head and limbs out of its shell. It didn't feel dizzy even after spinning for so long.
Squirtle was very good at spinning. If its size hadn't limited it, it could definitely be a great ballet dancer.
"Kairous, return."
"Go, Metapod."
The Warrior Boy didn't have a second Pokémon. He recalled Kairous and then sent out Metapod.
Bam!
A green, crescent-shaped Metapod appeared.
【LV8 Metapod♂/Bug】
Seeing Metapod, Xiao Mao immediately lost interest. He said, "This duel is yours to lose. There's no need to continue."
"Why, my Metapod hasn't lost yet," the Warrior Boy disagreed.
"You idiot!" Xiao Mao suddenly shouted, "Do you know that Metapod can't eat? It needs to rely on the strength of its pre-evolution to grow. Once it fights, its internal energy will be lost, leading to failed evolution. Metapod will die completely."
"Ah... Is that true?"
The Warrior Boy, who was still unconvinced, couldn't say anything more after hearing that it could lead to Metapod's death.
Thinking about it carefully, among the trainers around who had Metapods, it seemed that many of them had failed to evolve. They all seemed to have used Metapod for battle.
In that case, Xiao Mao had essentially saved the Warrior Boy's Metapod.
"I'm sorry, I was reckless," the Warrior Boy apologized to Xiao Mao after understanding.
"As a trainer, at least learn some basic knowledge about your Pokémon. You're going to cause irreversible damage if you continue to act so recklessly," Xiao Mao reminded him.
"I was negligent. I will definitely study Pokémon knowledge properly in the future," the Warrior Boy assured.
Seeing that the Warrior Boy had realized his mistake, Xiao Mao didn't say anything else.
"Based on our pre-battle agreement, you should fulfill it," Xiao Mao said.
"I know, but... Do you want to rest for a while? We can go tomorrow. That Scyther is very powerful," the Warrior Boy said.
Although the Warrior Boy was wearing warrior attire, he was also a genuine Bug Catcher. Naturally, he knew that Scyther was a very rare Bug-type Pokémon.
The Warrior Boy also wanted to catch it, but he couldn't defeat it at all.
"No need, I have other Pokémon," Xiao Mao said.
"Okay, then what about your bicycle? The path ahead is not easy to walk."
"It's easy."
Xiao Mao took a simple screwdriver from his backpack, unscrewed a few screws on the mountain bike, folded it directly, and put it in his backpack.
This mountain bike was specially made by the Fengma Group. Made of carbon fiber, it was not only lightweight, but also very sturdy.
The Warrior Boy looked at it with a surprised expression. He had never seen such a cool bike before.
......!
Xiao Mao followed the Warrior Boy, breaking through the dense jungle and arriving at a new area. This area was very quiet, with basically no Pokémon appearing.
"Be careful, we've reached Scyther's territory. This Scyther has a very bad temper. Any Pokémon or human who enters its territory will be attacked if it discovers them," the Warrior Boy whispered.
Xiao Mao didn't care much. This area of Viridian Forest was close to the city, and there wouldn't be any high-level wild Pokémon. Only when you get closer to Mt. Silver would the wild Pokémon there be stronger.
"Chaa!!"
Before Xiao Mao and the Warrior Boy could discover Scyther, a blue-green figure darted through the trees and quickly appeared before them.
"This is the Scyther," the Warrior Boy immediately backed off. He wasn't a match for this Scyther.
【LV15 Scyther♂/Gym】
"Not bad, worth catching."
Although its potential was only Gym, it was already pretty good.
Xiao Mao had been a trainer for three days now, and he hadn't seen a single wild Pokémon with potential reaching Elite Four.
"Exeggutor, it's your turn," Xiao Mao quickly threw a Poké Ball and released Exeggutor.
"Exegg!"
Exeggutor's three heads all looked at Scyther. The expression on each head was different, giving off a sense of strangeness.
"Use Reflect."
As soon as Xiao Mao finished speaking, Scyther turned into a white flash and charged straight at Exeggutor.
Bang!!
Scyther appeared in front of Exeggutor, but it was blocked by a rainbow-colored Reflect.
Under Sunny Day, Exeggutor's speed wasn't the only thing that increased. Its own reaction time also improved.
"Now, use Leech Seed!" Xiao Mao commanded.
Exeggutor's three heads sprayed out three Leech Seeds. Scyther reacted extremely quickly, swinging its large scythes on both arms and splitting two seeds in two. Only one Leech Seed hit its target.
The Leech Seed quickly absorbed Scyther's energy, growing vines that wrapped around Scyther's lower abdomen. Even if Scyther wanted to use its scythes to clear them, it couldn't remove them all.
Furthermore...!
Xiao Mao and Exeggutor wouldn't give Scyther a chance to deal with the Leech Seeds.
"Psychic."
