Pokémon: My Online Friend Is Cynthia

Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Isn’t This Backwards?

The two Croagunk battling in the centre of the field soon decided a winner. The victor waved at Julian’s Croagunk.

Croagunk spat to the side and slowly walked to the centre of the field.

The victor waved again, signalling for Croagunk to attack.

Croagunk did not stand on ceremony. White light lit up over his right hand as he charged forward.

Brick Break!

Seeing Croagunk use Brick Break, the victor likewise chose Brick Break in response.

This was exactly what he wanted: a head-on clash, to show the newcomer who was stronger.

Ever since Croagunk had been abandoned by Reggie and taken in by Julian, he had trained bitterly every day, almost to the point of damaging his body.

Because of that, Julian had to spend extra effort maintaining Croagunk’s condition.

Brick Break met Brick Break, and the wild Croagunk’s strength was like paper. He was directly knocked down by Julian’s Croagunk.

Croagunk’s left hand flashed with purple toxins and stabbed fiercely into the wild Croagunk’s abdomen.

Violent force penetrated his organs. The wild Croagunk felt a surge of intense pain, his mouth opening wide as his eyes bulged slightly.

As Julian’s Croagunk withdrew his hand, the wild Croagunk directly collapsed to the ground.

Julian’s Croagunk looked around and let out a scoff.

"Gunk?"

The Safari Zone’s Croagunk are only at this level?

The surrounding Croagunk immediately let out angry cries.

One Croagunk jumped out.

He would defeat this fellow who had been caught by a human and let him understand the strength of the Safari Zone Croagunk!

This time, it was Julian’s Croagunk’s turn to beckon, signalling for the wild Croagunk to attack first.

The wild Croagunk raised his hands, flicking them repeatedly. The air formed energy bullets that shot towards Croagunk.

Vacuum Wave!

Croagunk opened his mouth and spat out a string of Poison Stings, breaking through Vacuum Wave.

The wild Croagunk’s footwork was nimble, and he dodged the remaining Poison Stings.

White light lit up over both hands as he lightly charged towards Croagunk.

Rock Smash!

Vacuum Wave, Rock Smash. It seemed this was a Croagunk skilled in Fighting-type moves.

Croagunk narrowed his eyes slightly. White light lit up over both hands as well.

Double Brick Break!

One palm scattered Rock Smash, while the other chopped into the wild Croagunk’s neck.

The wild Croagunk’s body softened, and he fainted just like that.

Octavius blinked.

As expected of Gym Leader Veyne’s Croagunk. He really is much stronger than the wild Croagunk.

Croagunk frowned slightly.

"Gunk?"

Are the Croagunk in your Safari Zone unable to take a hit?

Are there any stronger Croagunk?

If you’re still only at this level, you shouldn’t come up and embarrass yourselves

Looking at Croagunk’s expression, Julian did not even need Aura to know what Croagunk was saying.

Being mocked by Croagunk again, the surrounding wild Croagunk stirred restlessly.

But after waiting for quite a while, finally, one Croagunk jumped out.

This Croagunk’s aura was steady. One glance was enough to tell he had some strength.

He opened his mouth, and a wave of purple-black sludge was spat towards Croagunk.

White light lit up over both of Croagunk’s hands, and he directly began spinning in place.

He scattered all the incoming sludge.

Croagunk’s gaze focused.

Through that Sludge Wave, he could tell that this wild Croagunk was indeed pretty good.

At the very least, the wild Croagunk’s Sludge Wave was stronger than his.

Black light flashed across Croagunk’s right hand, and he accelerated forward to the wild Croagunk.

One palm stabbed out, and the wild Croagunk was directly launched into the air.

After landing, the wild Croagunk actually struggled back to his feet.

His eyes were stubborn, and purple light shone on his hand.

His steps somewhat staggered as he charged towards Croagunk.

The wild Croagunk’s performance won Croagunk’s respect.

Croagunk’s hand likewise lit up with purple light, and he ended the wild Croagunk with Poison Jab.

He gave the wild Croagunk a proper ending.

Croagunk looked around.

"Gunk?"

But not a single wild Croagunk was willing to jump out and battle him.

Finally, a somewhat small Croagunk walked out.

"Gunk! Gunk!"

Then he turned around and ran.

Julian blinked.

What was this supposed to be?

He did not have to wait too long before the answer was revealed.

It turned out that the Croagunk had jumped out to tell Julian’s Croagunk to wait.

He had run off to invite a Toxicroak over!

Seeing Toxicroak, Croagunk’s eyes became extremely unfriendly.

Because he had not evolved yet, Croagunk was very unhappy with Toxicroak.

Especially Toxicroak’s gaze, that feeling of disdain.

It was as if Toxicroak were saying, how could a mere Croagunk be qualified to battle him?

Croagunk moved his palms.

Today, he would let Toxicroak know.

Some Croagunk were even stronger than Toxicroak!

Toxicroak firmly believed there was no comparison at all between a Croagunk before evolution and a Toxicroak after evolution.

Ever since he evolved, Toxicroak had quickly stopped coming to this Croagunk battle platform.

Because none of these Croagunk could last three to five moves against him.

Toxicroak beckoned, signalling for Croagunk to attack first.

Black light lit up over Croagunk’s palm, and he suddenly appeared in front of Toxicroak.

Toxicroak barely raised his hand, but he was still sent flying by Croagunk’s Sucker Punch.

After landing, Toxicroak quickly climbed back up and spat eight Sludge Bombs towards Croagunk.

Croagunk spat out a long string of Poison Stings, detonating the Sludge Bombs in mid-air.

The poisonous spike on Toxicroak’s wrist lit up green and viciously slashed towards Croagunk.

X-Scissor!

After evolution, Toxicroak’s strength had greatly increased. Croagunk met it with Brick Break.

Toxicroak retreated three steps.

Croagunk retreated five steps.

Croagunk immediately stirred his muscles and used Bulk Up to increase his strength.

Toxicroak opened his mouth and spat eight Sludge Bombs to attack.

He would not show mercy to Croagunk.

Croagunk used Bulk Up very quickly. He swiftly completed it and spat out a string of Poison Stings to detonate the Sludge Bombs.

Using the smoke as cover, Croagunk quickly rushed forward.

Sucker Punch!

Toxicroak had not expected Croagunk to rush out from the smoke.

Caught off guard, Sucker Punch stabbed fiercely into his abdomen.

Toxicroak rolled several times across the ground in a sorry state.

Just as he stood up, Croagunk completed another Bulk Up.

Brick Break!

This time, Toxicroak was directly pressed into the ground by Croagunk’s downward chop and its strength.

Toxicroak struggled to rise, but his body trembled, and he fainted.

Croagunk revealed a cold smile.

Toxicroak...

So they aren’t that impressive after all~

Octavius clicked his tongue in wonder.

"He defeated an evolved Toxicroak so easily."

Especially those two uses of Bulk Up. They had truly been clever.

Julian walked forward.

"Croagunk, it isn’t that Toxicroak isn’t strong. It’s that you’re very strong."

Hearing Julian’s words, Croagunk suddenly froze in place.

He was very strong?

He was very strong?

Julian’s words continuously echoed across the lake of Croagunk’s heart.

A white light appeared around Croagunk’s body, but it soon dispersed again.

Julian frowned slightly.

That white light just now should have been the light of evolution.

But why had the light of evolution appeared halfway, then disappeared?

His words just now should have touched Croagunk in some way. That was why Croagunk had produced the light of evolution.

But Croagunk’s evolution had stopped. Did that mean the trigger was not enough?

"Croagunk..."

Croagunk turned around and shook his head at Julian.

He was fine.

One failed evolution was nothing to Croagunk.

He was no longer the Croagunk who would wallow in self-pity just because Reggie had abandoned him!

Since the light of evolution could appear once, it could appear a second time.

Croagunk walked to Julian’s side and reached out to pat him.

"Gunk~"

Julian’s expression turned somewhat strange.

Croagunk’s evolution had stopped. Shouldn’t he be the one comforting Croagunk?

How had it become Croagunk comforting him?
