Noibat flew through the air, quickly distancing itself from Charmander, and continuously attacked with its Gust attack. Although the power was limited, it made Charmander, who had been unable to touch Noibat, extremely angry.

“Roar!”

The angry Charmander roared suddenly. By this time, it had completely shaken off its confused state and quickly regained consciousness. Then, surging rock energy was seen emanating from its body.

[Ancient Power]: A special rock-type move that uses primal force to attack, sometimes improving all abilities.

Jacob watched as a mud-yellow rock energy ball gathered in front of Charmander’s claws, which it suddenly hurled towards the Noibat flying in the air.

“Noi!”

Noibat flapped its wings quickly, dodging the fire lizard’s Ancient Power attack in the air, but just as it avoided the Ancient Power, a Dragon Breath followed!

Charmander had learned to be clever. After using the Ancient Power attack, it immediately launched a second Dragon Breath attack. This caught the airborne Noibat completely off-guard. The powerful Dragon Breath hit Noibat’s body directly, causing instant damage.

Compared to the scraping damage caused by the Gust raised by Noibat, Charmander’s Dragon Breath was obviously more powerful, and it was super effective against Noibat, which had both Dragon and Flying types.

“Noi!”

The injured Noibat also became angry at this point. It flapped its wings frantically and used Gust again. Noibat currently had too few attack moves, only two: Absorb and Gust. This made Jacob think about going back and having Noibat start learning Dragon Pulse, or asking Nina to teach it the move next week.

That way, he could legitimately let both Noibat and Charmander learn Dragon Pulse.

While Jacob was thinking, the Gust attack worked again and caused more damage to Charmander. However, Charmander had completely ignored its own injuries by this point and directly chose the most aggressive fighting style, trading blow for blow.

Without tactics, it was just recklessness.

“Roar!”

Charmander used the Ancient Power move once again, and the rock energy ball flew towards Noibat again.

“Double Team!”

This time, Noibat learned its lesson and did not try to dodge only to be hit by Charmander’s Dragon Breath. Instead, it chose to use Double Team again, instantly creating four or five illusory copies to confuse Charmander’s attack.

As a last resort, Charmander could only direct the rock energy ball to attack one of the Noibats. Unfortunately, with only a one in six chance, it guessed the wrong target and the attack failed!

“Supersonic.”

Noibat behaved quite calmly and skillfully, completely working around its own weakness of lacking attacking moves, and instead displayed its guerrilla harassment tactics to the fullest extent. It used Supersonic again and successfully hit Charmander, causing Charmander, which had just been released from its confused state, to become confused again.

“Gust!”

At this point, Noibat had completely seized the initiative in the battle and constantly relied on three moves—Double Team, Supersonic, and Gust—to harass Charmander, making it miserable and completely at a disadvantage.

“Okay, stop.”

Jacob interrupted the fight between the two at the right time. There was no need to continue. It was only a matter of time before Noibat won. Relying on the advantage of being a Flying-type Pokémon, Charmander had no chance of winning.

“Noibat won this match.” Jacob stroked Noibat’s purple ears to encourage it, and Noibat also rubbed Jacob’s palm affectionately, looking extremely happy.

“Don’t be discouraged, Charmander. Keep trying. When you evolve into Charizard and can fly, Noibat may not be able to defeat you.” Compared to Noibat’s joy, Charmander was in a bad mood. It couldn’t accept the fact that it lost, because now it ranked last among the three Pokémon. Grovyle was the absolute boss, and now Charmander had lost to Noibat, making it naturally the third.

“Charmander, it’s okay. You were born the latest. After you train more in the future, you’ll definitely become very strong.”

Jacob saw that Charmander was feeling depressed, so he quickly comforted it and took Charmander and Noibat to the infirmary for treatment.

…

While his Pokémon were being treated, Jacob also strolled into the incubation room of the Dragon Secret Realm, hoping to find good Pokémon eggs. However, when he entered the incubation room, he found that there wasn’t a single Dragon-type Pokémon egg for sale.

“Hello,” Jacob asked a guide, “Don’t you have any Dragon-type Pokémon eggs for sale?”

“Sir, is this your first time here?” The guide smiled brightly at the handsome Jacob and said, “The Dragon Secret Realm is different from other special areas. The Pokémon eggs here are only sold once a month. This is because Dragon Pokémon have extremely low reproduction rates. There are only a few Dragon Pokémon eggs available each month, and Dragon Pokémon eggs are very precious. Most people wouldn’t choose to sell them if they obtained one.”

Jacob nodded. This was indeed the case. For example, most Bug-type Pokémon had extremely high reproduction rates but were generally weak. On the other hand, Dragon-type Pokémon had extremely low reproduction rates but were generally powerful. This was the law of nature.

“But sir, you don’t need to worry. Next Sunday is this month’s public sale day. You can come and see if there are any Pokémon eggs you like,” the guide said sweetly.

“Do you have Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon eggs for sale here?” Jacob couldn’t help but ask.

“…” The guide showed an embarrassed expression on her face. “Sir, you’re so humorous. Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon are not for sale to the public.”

“I see.” Jacob felt a little disappointed, but it was understandable. Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon were extremely rare, and given the nature of China, they would definitely not sell them to the public. “Next weekend, I’ll remember that. Thank you.”

Learning that there were no Pokémon for sale, Jacob felt bored and left the incubation room, returned to the infirmary, collected his two Pokémon, and went back to his room to rest.

“Beep! Beep! Beep!”

Just as he walked into the house, the phone rang. Jacob picked it up and saw that it was his grandma calling, so he answered it quickly.

“Hey, Grandma.”

“Jacob.” Jude on the other end of the phone heard her grandson’s voice and smiled. “Abigail just mentioned that you have two packages. I put them in your room.”

Jacob remembered the two stones he had purchased, one of which was suspected to be Gengar’s Mega Stone, and the other was a dim Wishing Star.

“Grandma, just leave them in the room,” Jacob said. “What did you eat today? Take care of your diet, and don’t let Grandpa drink too much.”

“I ate well,” Hearing her grandson’s concern, Mrs. Jude smiled even more. “You know your grandpa’s temper. No one else can persuade him. Only you can come back and talk to him.”

“What man doesn’t drink?!” Scott’s voice came from the side, and then he paused before continuing, “Jacob, Lewis has almost finished writing the paper, and it will probably be published in a few days.”

“Okay, I understand. Thank you, Grandpa, and thank you, Uncle.” Jacob responded. It had only been a week since the experiment, and his uncle Lewis was able to write a paper. It must be said that his writing skills were still impressive. “I will come back to see you when I can leave the Dragon Secret Realm.”

“A good man has great ambitions. You should strengthen your training in the special area. If you have any questions, go find Nina.”

“Okay, Grandpa.”

Jacob chatted with his grandma and grandpa for a long time about family matters before hanging up the phone. After a simple meal, Jacob took the three Pokémon that had just eaten Poké Blocks to the training ground.

No pain, no gain!
