17: Section 17

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu immediately responded.

Of course, there was another reason why he agreed so readily.

That was, Charmander also needed a battle at this time.

Chapter 26: Tyrogue VS Charmander (Begging for Flowers, Monthly Tickets, and Recommendation Tickets)

"Tackle!"

Upon seeing Zhang Yu accept his challenge, Tyrogue immediately covered his body with a layer of white energy and charged towards Charmander.

"Charmander, after dodging, immediately use Growl!"

Seeing this, Zhang Yu immediately shouted to Charmander.

As he finished speaking, Charmander immediately jumped to the side, dodging Tyrogue's attack.

Almost as soon as Charmander landed, he opened his mouth and let out a very cute-sounding Growl, which could completely make people lower their guard.

And along with this Growl, there were also waves of white circular energy.

In the blink of an eye, this white energy enveloped Tyrogue, causing his attack to be weakened to a certain extent.

"Fake Out!"

After feeling his strength weakened, Tyrogue immediately frowned, then he covered his hands with a layer of white energy and grabbed towards Charmander.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu immediately had Charmander launch an attack as well.

Upon hearing him, Charmander immediately opened his mouth and spat out a fist-sized fireball, rushing towards Tyrogue not far away.

In the blink of an eye, Tyrogue's hand grabbed onto the fireball, causing it to explode directly.

Tyrogue, who was originally about to charge at Charmander again, after being hit by this explosion, had no choice but to retreat several steps in a row before he could finally dissipate the impact force generated by the explosion.

"Now! Charmander, immediately use Dragon Breath!"

Seeing this, Zhang Yu immediately seized the opportunity and launched another attack.

Charmander took a deep breath upon hearing this, then he spat out a dark green fireball from his mouth, rushing straight towards Tyrogue in front.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Tyrogue had just managed to stabilize his body when the dark green fireball had already arrived in front of him, making it impossible for him to make any other moves. He instinctively raised his arms to block in front of himself.

Then the even larger dark green fireball hit his body, blowing him directly away.

"It seems this Tyrogue's strength is similar to that Beedrill before."

"I feel Tyrogue's strength is much weaker than Beedrill. Although Beedrill didn't gain much advantage when facing Charmander before, that was due to type. But Tyrogue is different; as a Fighting-type Pokémon, he doesn't seem to be countered by Fire-type moves, right?"

"Indeed, from this perspective, Tyrogue's strength is indeed not as good as Beedrill's."

"But this is also normal. Beedrill is a Pokémon that has already evolved. If it weren't for the type advantage, Charmander might not have been able to defeat him."

"Is it my illusion? Why do I feel that Charmander is stronger now than before?"

"You must have seen wrong, right? How much time has passed? What changes could Charmander have?"

"Compared to this, what I'm more curious about is, could this move called Dragon Breath be a Dragon-type move? I didn't expect Charmander not only looks like a dragon but can even use Dragon-type moves."

"From the name, it does seem to be a Dragon-type move."

"Oh, come on, 'from the name'? Charmander's name also has 'dragon' in it, but do you see him as a Dragon-type Pokémon?"

"Indeed, it's impossible to distinguish the type of Pokémon and moves just from the name. From the performance of the move, I feel it's actually somewhat like a Fire-type move, but the color of the flame is different, so it's true that the possibility of it being a Dragon-type move cannot be ruled out."

After witnessing Tyrogue's battle, the Water Friends were slightly disappointed.

After all, his moves were a bit too simple.

However, despite being simple, his strength was not weak.

Although his current performance seemed to be inferior to the previous Beedrill, in truth, their strengths were actually similar.

Although Tyrogue was not type-disadvantaged against Charmander like Beedrill, he, like Beedrill, did not have suitable moves to use when battling Charmander.

Beedrill didn't use Bug-type-type moves because his own type was countered, while Tyrogue was even worse. As a Fighting-type Pokémon, he practically had no chance of learning Fighting-type moves without evolving.

It was clear that this Tyrogue battling Charmander was not that one-in-a-hundred genius who could learn Fighting-type moves early.

"Baru!"

After being blown away by Charmander's attack, Tyrogue's body rolled several times on the ground before slowly coming to a stop.

From Tyrogue's scarred body at this time, he had clearly suffered serious injuries in the battle just now, but even so, he still had no intention of giving up and quickly got back up.

"Charmander, use Dragon Breath!"

Seeing this, Zhang Yu immediately launched another attack.

As Zhang Yu finished speaking, Charmander immediately took a deep breath, then he spat out a dark green fireball from his mouth, attacking Tyrogue in the distance.

"Baru..."

Upon seeing this, Tyrogue immediately wanted to use a move to counterattack, but just as he was about to move, tiny electric arcs flashed across his body, causing his originally smooth movements to suddenly freeze.

Upon feeling the abnormal sensation coming from his body, Tyrogue's pupils suddenly constricted.

Before he could make any more moves, the dark green fireball had already hit his body, blowing him away again.

After Tyrogue's body traced a parabola, he finally landed back on the ground.

But unlike before, this time Tyrogue was unable to get up again.

Although he still wanted to continue fighting, his body no longer allowed him to do so.

So after struggling on the ground for a moment, he finally got swirly eyes and lost his ability to battle.

Chapter 27: The Light of Evolution Appears Again (Begging for Flowers, Monthly Tickets, and Recommendation Tickets)

"Eh? Did the battle just end like that?"

"It seems this Tyrogue isn't very good; he's not as tough as the Beedrill from before."

"So Pokémon get swirly eyes when they're defeated? They look so cute~"

"That's strange, Tyrogue's last movements were a bit off. He clearly reacted, and logically speaking, he should have been able to dodge Charmander's attack or block it, but why did he suddenly stop moving just as he was about to make a move?"

"You noticed that too? That is indeed a bit strange."

"Could it be due to injuries? After all, his injuries weren't light after being blown away by Charmander."

"There is indeed such a possibility."

"I always feel there's another reason behind it. If it were just the effect of injuries, it shouldn't have been that severe."

Upon seeing Tyrogue fall like this, the Water Friends all felt somewhat surprised.

After all, Tyrogue's last movements clearly looked unnatural.

So much so that they couldn't even come up with a relatively reasonable explanation.

"This Tyrogue is really unlucky..."

Zhang Yu twitched his mouth upon seeing Tyrogue lose his ability to battle like this.

Others might not know what happened to Tyrogue just now, but he did.

Tyrogue was paralyzed after being hit by Dragon Breath, which is why that situation occurred.

But the problem is, both the paralysis probability of Dragon-type and the probability of being unable to move after paralysis are actually very low.

And Tyrogue was able to trigger both consecutively twice; his luck was really not good.

He then noticed the situation in the live broadcast room and immediately began to explain.

"The reason why Tyrogue acted so abnormally at the end is actually due to some special reasons."

"Many Pokémon moves have a certain chance to inflict abnormal status conditions on the opponent when they hit."

"For example, the Dragon Breath that I just had Charmander use is one of them; it has a small chance to make the opponent fall into a paralyzed state."

"And a Pokémon in a paralyzed state not only has its speed reduced, but its own actions also have a small chance of being affected."

"The Tyrogue just now triggered this situation."

While explaining to the Water Friends, Zhang Yu also briefly calculated the probability in his mind.

The probability of Dragon Breath triggering paralysis is 30%, and the probability of a paralyzed Pokémon being unable to move is 25%.

In other words, the probability of triggering both situations at once is only 7.5%.

However, considering that these are game settings, in the real world, the probabilities might be different, and there might be more influencing factors, so this probability is not entirely accurate.

"Huh?"

Just as Zhang Yu was about to say something more, his peripheral vision suddenly caught a glimpse of a white light.

After a slightstunned, he immediately looked towards the source of the white light.

Then he saw Charmander, who had just defeated Tyrogue, now enveloped in white light.

"So Charmander evolved."
