Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 19: Learning Acrobatic Skills!

After putting away Geodude's Poké Ball, Brock looked up at Qingyuan and said.

"Challenger, would you like to switch your Pokémon?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan glanced at Scorpion on the field.

Scorpio, with a face full of excitement, touched his two large pincers to Qingyuan.

Judging from its appearance, it clearly wanted to continue fighting.

"I won't replace the spirit!"

After understanding Scorpio's willingness to fight, Qingyuan shook his head at Xiaogang and said.

After hearing Qingyuan's words, Xiaogang nodded and took out the second Poké Ball.

"Come out, Onix!"

A flash of red light appeared, and a giant serpent, as tall as a two-story building and made entirely of rock, appeared on the battlefield.

The Great Onix's body is composed of several massive gray rocks, their interconnected form resembling a giant serpent. It has a long rock horn atop its head, below which are a pair of black eyes. The rocks gradually decrease in size from its middle section to its tail. (Not included in the word count!)

Looking at the giant rock snake in front of him, Qingyuan gasped.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a massive behemoth.

After regaining his senses, Qingyuan quickly looked at Scorpion, because this was the first time Scorpion had ever seen such a huge creature.

If a Scorpio's mental fortitude is weak, they can easily lose their fighting spirit.

However, Scorpio was clearly not as bad as Qingyuan had imagined, when Qingyuan looked at Scorpio.

Scorpio was staring at the Onix with a fierce look on its face, and was even banging its pincers together in excitement.

Seeing Scorpio's appearance, Qingyuan's heart, which had just been raised, instantly sank back into his stomach.

"Onix, use Tackle!"

While Qingyuan was observing Scorpion, Xiaogang had already commanded Onix to begin the attack.

"Scorpion, fly away and get out of the way!"

Hearing Xiao Gang's words, Qing Yuan quickly snapped out of his daze and gave instructions to Scorpion.

"Roar~~"

The giant onix roared, its body flashing with white light, and its massive head charged fiercely towards the direction where Scorpio was.

However, Scorpio was prepared and jumped up and flew away long before Onix crashed into it.

"Bang! With a loud noise, Qingyuan felt a series of shaking sensations coming from the ground."

Where Scorpion had been standing, a huge crater had been created by Onix.

Scorpio, high in the air, looked at the carnage on the ground, a hint of lingering fear flashing across his face.

However, Scorpio's face then filled with fighting spirit; only such a formidable opponent was worth challenging.

"Scorpion uses mud to shoot, kite it!"

Just then, Qingyuan's command voice suddenly came through.

Scorpion reacted quickly, sending clumps of yellow mud shooting from its body towards Onix.

"The giant onix blocked it with its tail!"

Upon learning of Qingyuan's intentions, Xiaogang's expression remained unchanged. He waved his hand and commanded the Giant Onix.

"Bang bang bang!"

The Onix held its tail horizontally in front of it, like a wall, blocking all of Scorpion's mud shots.

"Onix uses Shot Down!"

With a flick of its tail, the giant onyx shook off all the mud, then picked up a rock and hurled it at Scorpion.

"Scorpio, get out of the way!"

The enormous rock hurtled toward Scorpion like a cannonball.

Fortunately, Qingyuan had been practicing Scorpio's flying skills.

So despite the rock's incredible speed, Scorpio managed to dodge it thanks to his superior flying skills.

"boom!"

A loud noise startled Qingyuan.

Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see that the wall behind Scorpion had been smashed open by the huge rock, leaving a large hole.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Gang's face flashed with a look of pain, but he immediately returned to normal.

"The Onix used rocks to hone its skills, and then used a slam to knock Gliscor down!"

"Scorpion used mud to stop it!"

Upon hearing Xiao Gang's words, the Onix's body lit up with light, and Scorpion immediately threw two mud shots at it.

Despite this, Onix successfully polished the rock and then swung its tail at an extremely fast speed to attack Scorpius.

"Scorpio, get out of the way!"

Seeing this, Qingyuan had no choice but to shout "divine skill!" at Scorpion.

Fortunately, Scorpio proved its worth, constantly using various superb flying techniques to dodge Onix's repeated slamming attacks.

Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but then his brows furrowed again.

He cannot win by simply dodging; he must find a way to fight back.

But the Onix, polished by the rocks, was now like a fan, its tail like blades, relentlessly attacking the scorpion in the air.

This leaves Scorpios with no choice but to dodge and unable to mount any counterattack.

Just as Qingyuan was struggling with how to get Scorpio to retaliate, Scorpio's eyes were filled with resentment.

It wanted to confront the other side head-on and show them its strength.

However, it was also aware of its own limitations; if the giant Onix's massive tail struck it, it would surely lose its fighting ability on the spot.

Scorpio continuously performs various difficult techniques in the air to dodge attacks, but his determination to attack grows stronger and stronger.

As this belief grew, it gradually began to gather white light around itself when performing difficult techniques.

The highly talented Scorpio quickly realized this and then deliberately performed various difficult moves.

The more it performs the movements, the brighter the light around it becomes.

Suddenly, the light around it intensified to its peak, and a look of enlightenment flashed in Scorpio's eyes.

It learned a new skill: acrobatics!

He immediately tried to use this skill, and as he performed various difficult maneuvers, the energy of the flight system began to gather around him, which made him faster and faster.

Just as it reached its speed limit, it glanced at the giant onyx on the battlefield, a glint of madness flashing in its eyes.

The next second it charged towards the upper body of the giant onyx.

"boom!"

"Roar!"

Scorpion slammed into the first rock beneath Onix's head with a loud thud.

Immediately afterwards, the giant onyx let out a scream.

Upon seeing this, Qingyuan, who was in command, was overjoyed and quickly said something.

"Scorpio, press your advantage! Let's do it again!"

"Clatter!"

Scorpion, who had just struck and retreated back into the sky, shouted after hearing Qing Qingyuan's words and immediately used his acrobatic skills to charge towards the giant rock snake again.

"Onix, use Tackle!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Gang immediately issued almost frantic commands to the Onix.

"boom!"

Faced with the charging Onix, Scorpio had no choice but to confront it head-on.

With a loud "bang!", Scorpio was stunned by the impact and tried to retreat, but Onix wrapped its tail around its body.

"Damn, hard head!"

Upon seeing this, Qingyuan immediately swore, unlike his hard-headed self in the game.

In this world, the hard head not only makes elves immune to recoil damage, but also keeps their minds clear.

"That's how Onix uses its Bind!"

Xiao Gang wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass by, and immediately commanded Onix to launch an attack.

"Clatter!"

As Onix strained harder, Gliscor's screams rang out.

"Come back, Scorpio!"

Seeing this, Qingyuan quickly took out Gliscor's Poké Ball and recalled it.

"Let's declare Scorpio incapable of fighting!"

Qingyuan looked at Xiaogang, who was frowning, and said calmly.

Hearing this, Xiao Gang finally relaxed his furrowed brows and said.

"can!"

Hearing this, Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and spoke to the Scorpion's spirit.

"You did a great job, Scorpion. Now it's Scythe's turn!"

After saying that, Qingyuan put away the Scorpion's Poké Ball.
