In this battle against Corphish, Feebas was defeated as expected.
However, although he won, there was no joy on Ash's face. Instead, he felt like he had been deceived.
In this battle, although Feebas used the natural agility of fish Pokémon in water to dodge many attacks and successfully hit Corphish several times with Tackle, under the counterattack of Corphish's two large pincers, it was defeated very quickly.
Because there were no major twists and turns in the process, even though Ash won, he didn't feel much joy. Instead, he felt a faint sense of loss!
This was completely different from the battle he envisioned!!!
"Brother Natsui, your Feebas is so weak. There was no difficulty at all. This is completely unlike your style!?"
Ash muttered dissatisfiedly. This wasn't wrong. In his impression, every one of Natsui's Pokémon was very powerful. He had to exhaust his efforts to luckily defeat one. Compared to those Pokémon, the Feebas in front of him was really not worth mentioning.
"My style?" Contrary to him, Natsui's mentality was very peaceful. He smiled. "What's so strange about this? After all, every Pokémon grows from a weak period. Don't look at it like this now; maybe when you meet it again next time, it will make you look at it with new eyes."
Hearing Natsui say this, Ash thought about it and agreed. Knowing that all Pokémon have such a growth stage, he didn't care so much anymore, and his mood brightened a lot.
Moreover, in any case, he finally defeated Brother Natsui's Pokémon. Such a record is something most people cannot achieve!
Only...
Despite comforting himself like this, that sense of loss lingered.
Seeing him like this, Natsui smiled slightly. "Since you didn't enjoy the battle just now, why don't I fight you again?"
Hearing that Natsui was willing to fight him again, Ash's eyes lit up immediately. He nodded hurriedly.
"Okay! Bring it on! This time I'm really going to get serious!"
Seeing him become high-spirited again, Natsui didn't take out the second Poké Ball immediately. Instead, he pointed to the open space beside them.
"Then let's change the venue. My second Pokémon is not a Water-type, so we don't need this pool."
Ash naturally had no objection. Seeing Natsui being so serious, he was full of expectations for the upcoming second battle!
This is great. Changing the venue, Brother Natsui won't use that Feebas again, right?
Thinking this in his heart, Ash came to the ordinary field on the side and stood in the trainer command area opposite Natsui.
Under his expectant gaze, Natsui unhurriedly took out the second Poké Ball from his waist bag.
As Natsui threw the Poké Ball, after the blue light flashed, a Pokémon floating in mid-air, resembling a stone boxing glove, appeared in front of him!
What is this?
Ash's eyes lit up. Facing this Pokémon he was seeing for the first time as well, he couldn't wait to take out his Pokédex.
The Pokédex quickly fed back the information, and Ash learned at this moment that this peculiar Pokémon was a Steel and Psychic-type Pokémon named Beldum.
Steel and Psychic?
Ash nodded.
In his impression, Psychic-type Pokémon often possess strong power. Coupled with the Steel attribute, it can attack from afar and defend up close. It seems this Beldum should be very unusual!
This also made him full of expectations for the second battle!
However, this good mood only lasted until he engaged Beldum.
For this battle, he specially released his Treecko, which he had captured not long ago. Although Treecko's Grass attribute would be somewhat disadvantageous facing Beldum's Steel attribute, this was not a problem for him at all!
But as soon as the battle started, he noticed something was wrong again.
Although this Beldum was floating in mid-air and looked very complex, why did its attack method only consist of Take Down over and over again?
It was even worse than the Feebas just now!
Now, let alone the attribute advantage not being brought into play, even its Take Down, because the field was too empty and the attack was straightforward, was mostly blocked or dodged by Treecko!
Could it be...?
Frowning, Ash just wanted to ask Natsui why this Beldum looked so weak too, but before he could speak, the Treecko in the field had already defeated Beldum one step ahead!
Now, no matter how obtuse Ash was, he understood what was going on!
"Okay!" He jumped high in anger, flailing his claws like a child. "You tricked me again!! This is completely different from what I thought!!!"
"Hahahaha!" Seeing his reaction, Natsui laughed unkindly. "What do you mean I tricked you? I just said I would fight you again, but I didn't say what Pokémon I would send. It was your own misunderstanding. Who can you blame?"
Ash opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found that just as Natsui said, before the battle, Natsui indeed didn't say what Pokémon he would use. It was entirely his own wishful thinking, assuming that after Feebas, he would use a more powerful Pokémon to fight him!
Unexpectedly, he was tricked again!
Damn it!!
"These two..."
Brock, standing aside, understood clearly and shook his head helplessly.
After all, compared to the obtuse Ash, how could he not know that Natsui completely treated Ash as a sparring partner, feeding "experience" to his Feebas and this Beldum!
Only a simple person like Ash would fall for it twice in a row...
But Natsui is really something too. To think he has such a childish side. It's really too undignified...
Just then, Beldum, who had fallen in the field but was not unconscious, was suddenly enveloped by a white light.
This light directly attracted the attention of the three, and even the two little boys battling on the other side were attracted.
For this light, Brock was naturally no stranger, knowing it was the light produced during evolution.
In fact, in battle, not only the winning side will gain a lot of "experience," but even the losing side will also gain a certain amount of "experience." If it reaches a critical value, it will also evolve passively.
And obviously, Natsui's Beldum had triggered such an evolution condition!
In the command area, seeing his Beldum evolve, Natsui showed a gratified smile. In sharp contrast to him, Ash had a long face at this time. In his heart, he was both angry and felt the sorrow of being used!
This is all my credit!!
