Chapter 77: Dragon Tamer Flynn

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Dragon Tamer Flynn

After evolving, Hakamo-o’s appetite had been increasing bit by bit with training.

But the sudden surge in appetite had happened after that battle with Garchomp.

Perhaps battling a powerful opponent like Garchomp had stimulated Hakamo-o’s dragon bloodline, causing it to rapidly awaken.

His dragon scales being shattered should also have been one of the influencing factors.

Behind the sharp increase in appetite, it showed that Hakamo-o’s vitality was flourishing.

Outstanding stamina and defensive power were the foundation Hakamo-o stood upon.

Julian planned to follow Hakamo-o’s changes and arrange new training content for him.

The same went for Sirfetch’d. With the addition of a shield, he needed to train his defensive power and shield techniques.

The sword was Meteor Assault.

The shield was Iron Defense.

Sirfetch’d used Meteor Assault very well.

But his application of Iron Defense was still rather inexperienced.

The best way to train defensive power, and also the only way, was to take hits.

Hakamo-o’s vigorous vitality allowed him to endure them head-on.

But compared to Hakamo-o, Sirfetch’d’s body looked rather thin.

Sirfetch’d needed to improve his techniques for dispersing force.

Of course, using Julian’s trainer skills to increase Sirfetch’d’s bodily toughness was just as important as improving his defensive techniques.

This was where Julian, as a Trainer, had to exert his importance.

Scientifically matching his diet would allow Sirfetch’d’s body to grow sturdier.

After Sirfetch’d evolved, his Pokémon food formula needed to be adjusted again.

With Hakamo-o’s appetite increasing sharply, Julian planned to expand the proportion of ingredients rich in vitality.

As for Primeape’s soul problem, Julian could only try adding Ghost-type Berries and see whether they could nourish Primeape’s soul.

...

The next day, Julian went to Paul’s house and learned that Reggie had already set out for the Kanto region two days earlier to challenge the Battle Frontier.

Paul was waiting for the starter Pokémon to arrive at the Pokémon Centre so he could choose one with the other two children.

Today was Thursday. The starter Pokémon should arrive on Friday.

"Paul, do you want to go on an outing with us this weekend?"

Paul frowned slightly.

"But Julian, after I get my Pokémon, I plan to immediately take a boat to the Kanto region."

"I want to watch my brother challenge the Battle Frontier in style!"

Julian smiled.

"A couple of days won’t make a difference. After all, there are seven battle facilities. As for you, don’t focus only on watching Reggie’s battles."

"Have you ever thought about what kind of Trainer you want to become in the future?"

Paul excitedly raised his hand.

"Of course, a powerful Trainer like my brother!"

Right now, Paul was a textbook brother worshipper.

Before Reggie’s image collapsed, Julian felt it was necessary to let Paul understand his own heart. He should not blindly worship Reggie.

He should walk his own path.

"I’m planning to train Maylene’s wilderness survival ability and then let her go travelling. You should come too. You can learn some of my knowledge about caring for Pokémon."

"Once you’ve learned it, you can help Reggie take care of his Pokémon too, can’t you?"

Hearing that he could help Reggie, Paul immediately nodded and agreed.

"Then I’ll go!"

After leaving Paul’s house, Julian first rented an off-road vehicle, then drove to the commercial street to buy all kinds of equipment needed for outings and camping.

By the time he drove home, another challenger had already arrived.

This challenger had not come after reading the posts on the Trainer forum.

He was just an ordinary challenger.

And this was only his third Badge.

His performance was decent, and Julian smoothly handed out his second Badge since becoming provisional Gym Leader.

It was not until Friday afternoon that another challenger finally arrived.

"Hello, I’m Dragon Tamer Flynn. I’ve come to challenge Veilstone Gym!"

Dragon Tamer?

Julian looked over.

A handsome young man whose childishness had not completely faded.

He wore an old-fashioned robe and had decorations made of teeth and scales hanging from him.

A very typical Dragon Tamer outfit.

"No problem. May I ask which Badge this is for you?"

Flynn pulled open his robe and looked at the number of Badges hanging on it.

"Oh, it’s the tenth!"

The tenth?

Julian raised an eyebrow.

Ordinary Trainers only collected eight Badges. Continuing to challenge Gyms after that carried a slight sense of provocation.

For example, Gary had once arrogantly gone to challenge Viridian Gym.

At that time, Gary had already collected ten Badges.

His overly arrogant attitude made Giovanni directly send out Mewtwo to teach that ignorant kid a lesson.

It almost shattered Gary’s confidence as a Trainer.

Julian asked, "Flynn, don’t you know you only need eight Badges to participate in the regional conference?"

Flynn blinked in confusion.

"Aren’t more Badges better?"

After Julian explained it to him, Flynn finally understood.

"No wonder the guy at the previous Gym looked at me strangely."

"Then we won’t wager a Badge. Can we just have a pure battle?"

Flynn took out a Poké Ball and released a round, silver-white Pokémon.

"Shelgon needs to battle more if it wants to evolve. Aside from Gyms, I don’t know where to find strong Trainers and Pokémon."

Julian said, "You can take a look at the Trainer forum."

Flynn nodded excitedly.

"Right! I saw on the Trainer forum that you’re a very good person and are willing to guide challengers, so I came specially to Veilstone City."

Another pitiful person tricked into coming...

No.

Someone who could obtain nine Badges was not a pitiful child.

Flynn did not think it was a loss. He asked Julian excitedly, "Can I have a full six-on-six battle with you?"

Julian smiled.

"Three-on-three. Six-on-six takes too long. Three-on-three is more suitable."

That morning, Croagunk and Sirfetch’d had sparred. Croagunk trained attack, Sirfetch’d trained defence, and when Julian was not paying attention, the two of them had both tormented themselves until they collapsed from exhaustion.

They were currently lying in the Pokémon Centre recovering.

Only three Pokémon remained able to battle.

Facing Flynn, Julian felt he needed to use his full strength.

"Flynn, will your first Pokémon be Shelgon?"

Flynn quickly shook his head.

"No. My first Pokémon is this one."

A violent blue serpent appeared on the battlefield.

Gyarados?

Flynn, so this is what kind of Dragon Tamer you are!

Julian thought for a moment and released Primeape.

Flynn was somewhat surprised.

"Eh? I was thinking of using Shelgon to battle Primeape. Why did Gym Leader Veyne send Primeape out first?"

Julian smiled.

"Don’t worry. There are even stronger Pokémon later."

Flynn smiled.

"Then I won’t hold back. Gyarados, Twister!"

"Charge in. Mega Punch!"

Gyarados slapped its tail and released a white hurricane.

The powerful wind blew fiercely, but the leg muscles Primeape had trained with one-hundred-pound weights allowed it to run straight through the hurricane. Then it used the right fist that had already thrown over a hundred thousand punches while wearing ten-pound iron fist guards.

One punch struck Gyarados’s jaw.

Gyarados let out a cry of pain and flew out of the battlefield.

Flynn was not shocked, but delighted.

"Amazing! Gyarados, use Dragon Dance!"

Bad idea

No one understands Dragon Dance better than me!

"Don’t give it the chance. Mega Punch!"

Primeape leapt forward with another punch, and Gyarados, who had just started dancing, was directly pressed back down.

"Dragon Tail!"

But Gyarados’s long body still allowed it to swing its tail and send Primeape flying.

"Gyarados, Dragon Pulse!"

Bro... you’re purely using Gyarados as a Dragon type

"Dodge. Mega Punch!"

After taking three punches from Primeape, Gyarados finally fell with unwillingness.

Flynn was somewhat excited.

His carefully trained Gyarados had been defeated in three moves.

He had truly come to the right place by choosing Veilstone Gym!
