pokémon: Totodile
Type: Water
Ability: Torrent (When HP is low, Water-type moves become more powerful.)
Moves: Dragon Dance, Scratch, Glare, Water Gun, Bite
"Huh? I got Dragon Dance already?"
Looking at the cheat ability's prompt, Adrian's face lit up.
He had thought that Dragon Dance, as a high-level move, would be difficult to obtain, but he didn't expect to receive the Dragon Dance TM just by catching a small Totodile.
"It must be an Egg Move!"
Adrian glanced at the small blue alligator, which was still biting the bait and dangling in mid-air, and guessed in his heart.
Because this Totodile was less than half a meter tall, noticeably smaller than a normal Totodile, it was clearly a Totodile baby.
This could also be seen from its move list.
Such a Totodile baby obviously couldn't have learned the Dragon Dance move on its own; the probability of it being an Egg Move was much higher.
Adrian praised, "As expected of a pokémon living in Dragon Sanctuary, even a Totodile knows 'Dragon Dance.'"
So, who doesn't know Dragon Dance?
"Wani~ Wani~"
After dangling in mid-air for a long time, the Totodile finally finished eating all the bait, then released its gaping maw and fell back into the water.
However, it didn't leave. Instead, it sniffed its nose and immediately Lock-On to Adrian's bait box, then quickly swam towards Adrian on the shore.
"Wani~"
As it neared the shore, it suddenly leaped up like a dragon emerging from water, biting at Adrian, who was manipulating the fishing rod, aiming directly for his head.
"Pichu, save me!"
Adrian was scared out of his wits.
Although Totodile is small, it's a rough pokémon. If something moves in front of it, it will Bite first and ask questions later.
And its developed jaws are full of strength; it can easily crush even rock.
Adrian was not a super trainer. If he were bitten on the head by a Totodile, his trip to Dragon Sanctuary would probably end as soon as it began.
"Pi~"
When the Totodile was reeled in, Pichu had already woken up.
Zzz!
Yellow electricity emerged from Pichu's electric sacs, striking the aggressive Totodile first.
"Wani~ Wani~"
The Totodile in mid-air cried out, immediately smoking and falling to the ground.
Then, the little guy cried out "Waaah!" and tearfully ran back into the water, disappearing.
"The fishing here in Dragon Sanctuary is really wild!"
After confirming he was safe, Adrian finally emerged from behind the big tree and sighed, "The big fish really came ashore to Bite people!"
Looking at the water where the Totodile disappeared, Adrian felt a pang of regret.
There was nothing he could do; Dragonite had forbidden catching pokémon from Dragon Sanctuary.
This was a Destiny Knot!
Otherwise, encountering a Totodile with such talent, how could Adrian have let it leave so easily?
After all, this was a pokémon that could mega evolve.
"It's good enough to get pokémon rewards; don't force yourself to get the pokémon's body."
Adrian comforted himself in his heart a few times, then re-baited and cast his rod again.
The commotion just now was a bit big, so no fish immediately bit the hook. Adrian then immersed his consciousness into the fishing space to check the rewards he had just received.
Dragon Dance: A Dragon-type move. The user vigorously performs a mystical, powerful dance that boosts its Attack and Speed stats.
Damp Rock: A rock imbued with mysterious energy. If held by a pokémon, it extends the duration of rain.
"These are all good things!"
Adrian's eyes sparkled, and he became even more excited for the upcoming fishing.
The quality of pokémon in this lake was clearly much higher than at the Seaking Fishing Tournament.
After a few more minutes, the float finally moved again.
But before Adrian could pull the rod, it immediately returned to calm.
Then, a small alligator head emerged from the calm lake surface, croaking loudly at Adrian.
Adrian chuckled playfully, "Hey, you little rascal, you dare to come back?"
But the next second, Adrian's smile froze.
Because next to the Totodile, a huge alligator head emerged.
This large alligator had blue scales all over its body, with protruding rectangular scutes. Its forelimbs were very strong, its lower jaw and abdominal bones were beige, and its head, back, and tail had serrated red bone plates.
It was the final evolved form of Totodile—Feraligatr!
Normally, Adrian would be happy to see a caught pokémon go home and bring its parent.
But now, Adrian couldn't be happy.
Because this Feraligatr was glowering, with undisguised killing intent in its eyes as it looked at Adrian.
Clearly, the Totodile had gone home to complain and brought its parent to back it up.
"Awooo~"
Accompanied by a sharp roar, streams of water suddenly appeared around Feraligatr, transforming into a thick water column that pounced on Adrian with lightning speed.
Priority move: Aqua Jet!
"Pichu, Protect!"
Adrian shivered all over. While ordering Pichu to temporarily block, he also quickly threw out Gyarados's poké ball.
The Feraligatr in front of him was too fierce and had launched a sudden attack. It was clear that Pichu's small body couldn't withstand it.
Buzz!
Pichu leaped and stood in front of Adrian, a translucent barrier appearing around its body.
Bang!
Aqua Jet hit the 'Protect' barrier. After absorbing most of the power, the barrier eventually shattered and dissipated.
Then, the small Pichu was directly sent flying dozens of meters away like a meteor.
Fortunately, Gyarados had already appeared via Baton Pass. Seeing someone attacking its trainer, it also became enraged and used the 'Waterfall' move to pounce fiercely on the vicious Feraligatr.
This Feraligatr, at only three meters tall, was already a behemoth, but compared to Gyarados, it was still no match.
Caught off guard, Feraligatr was directly knocked to the ground by Gyarados, who then used its weight to firmly pin it down and repeatedly crush it.
But Feraligatr was clearly not to be trifled with. Its gaping maw suddenly opened wide, gray energy constantly gathering in its teeth, then it bit into Gyarados's neck, its sharp teeth sinking in three fen.
Dark-type move: Crunch!
"Awooo~"
Gyarados cried out in pain, its roar shaking the heavens.
White light appeared on its arms, and Feraligatr's muscles suddenly swelled by a circle. It then took the opportunity to hug Gyarados's huge body and directly performed a suplex to counter-pin it.
The situation instantly reversed!
Gyarados frantically twisted its body, trying to escape Feraligatr's biting, and even continuously slapped Feraligatr's head with its powerful tail.
But it was no use!
Feraligatr simply endured the slaps, its mouth never letting go, and even bit down harder, making Gyarados cry out in pain.
"What a powerful Feraligatr!"
Adrian was dumbfounded.
Although Gyarados was huge, it had only recently evolved, and its combat power had not yet fully matured.
In the face of Feraligatr's absolute strength, it could only take a beating.
Fortunately, Gyarados had help.
"Pichu, Thunder Wave!"
Seeing Pichu return, Adrian quickly gave the command.
Zzz!
Small yellow electric waves emerged from the tips of Pichu's ears, shooting towards the nearby Feraligatr.
At the same time, Adrian, unable to bear watching Gyarados being tormented, also took out a poké ball, attempting to recall Gyarados directly.
But Feraligatr seemed to have anticipated this. It merely glanced at Adrian's direction, and with a gentle flick of its tail, it directly conjured a thick water column that swept over.
Water-type move: Aqua Tail!
Zzzzt!
Thunder Wave was absorbed by the water column, instantly disappearing without a trace.
Then, the thick water column continued its momentum, fiercely smashing towards Pichu.
"Pi~"
Fortunately, Pichu was agile and dodged the water column's attack with a leap.
But the next second, the water column suddenly exploded, transforming into a huge current that swept across a large flower field.
Adrian, caught off guard, was directly washed away by the current, and even the poké ball in his hand was lost.
If Pichu had fallen, it would certainly have been washed away by the waves too.
This was also Feraligatr's goal: to absolutely prevent Pichu from coming to assist, and even more so, to prevent Gyarados from being rescued.
But what Feraligatr didn't expect was that Pichu could Surf.
"Pi~"
Pichu controlled the Water-type energy, steadily riding the waves, constantly closing the distance.
Mua!
Above the waves, Pichu gave a wink, and an energy cube floated out.
Boom!
The energy cube hit, and Feraligatr's head became dazed, inevitably seeing many small stars.
Feraligatr was confused!
But to Adrian's despair, even though Feraligatr was confused, its strong and powerful jaws still held onto Gyarados tightly.
Not only that, the confusion seemed to have further ignited its ferocity, causing it to start shaking its neck and intensifying its biting.
Gyarados screamed in pain, completely losing the ability to fight back.
"Pichu, Thunder!"
Adrian, soaked and disheveled, also became ruthless.
This Feraligatr was truly vicious. After biting Gyarados, it wouldn't let go. Besides making it lose its combat ability, he couldn't think of any other solution.
"Pi~"
Pichu began to charge, electric arcs constantly flashing on its cheeks.
"Awoo~"
But just then, an orange figure flew from the sky nearby.
Like a gust of wind, the figure landed beside Gyarados and Feraligatr.
Its brows were furrowed, its face serious, and its large hand gently tapped Feraligatr's mouth, shaking its head slightly.
"Woo~"
After clearly seeing the figure in front of it, Feraligatr, whose eyes were red from falling into a bloodthirsty frenzy, instantly sobered up a bit, its gaze gradually clearing.
