The Rockets' eldest daughter's road to the league championship

Chapter 141: 1 Catdog

"hiss!"

She gasped, then climbed up in pain and sat on the ground with her back against the tree.

"Girl, how are you? Are you okay?" Gastly, who was staying in Qingyi's shadow, saw her tearful face and came out to ask with concern.

"How can it be okay? Not only does my hand hurt, but my whole body hurts!" Qingyi complained aggrievedly.

Fortunately, she had the mark of the dog-beating stick to protect her. When the thing hit her, the mark regarded it as an external attack and automatically turned on the protection mode.

Otherwise, she would have suffered serious internal injuries and vomited three liters of blood from that collision.

However, although the protective shield helped her prevent external injuries, the impact of hitting the tree and falling to the ground was too much for her to bear. She felt pain all over her body and her body must have been covered with bruises.

"Ah! I was just sleeping and didn't notice that a Pokémon attacked you!" Gastly said with a look of self-blame.

"Pokémon?" Qingyi grasped the key point in Gastly's words. The one who just attacked her was a Pokémon?

At this time, Qingyi also noticed the sound of two Pokémon entangled not far away. She looked up and saw her Monkey King fighting with a Growlithe, which was the figure that attacked her just now.

"Brother Xiaomao's Growlithe!" Qingyi widened her eyes and exclaimed suddenly.

Then she refuted this idea and murmured, "No, Brother Xiaomao's Growlithe knows me and won't bump into me. Besides, this Growlithe has a tuft of golden hair on its head and is a size bigger than Brother Xiaomao's Growlithe."

Qingyi was very confused when she learned that the Pokémon that attacked her was Growlithe.

Logically speaking, a Pokémon like Growlithe is, as described in the Pokémon Encyclopedia, honest and easy to get along with.

According to their nature, they would not attack people without reason, but why did this Katnid attack her?

Looking at the two fighting Pokémon again, she found that Monkey King was at a disadvantage. He could only entangle Growlithe to prevent it from escaping, and he had few opportunities to fight back.

Seeing this, Qingyi stood up by holding the tree trunk.

At this time, Gastly had silently sunk into Qingyi's shadow and continued to sleep.

Qingyi slowly walked up to the two Pokémon that were fighting and shouted, "Stop!"

Hearing Qingyi's voice, Infernape and Growlithe both stopped.

Infernape was still staring at Growlithely, while Growlithe was looking at Qingyi, the girl he accidentally knocked down. She seemed to be fine!

Phew! I'm glad it's alright, otherwise it would feel really bad about itself!

Caterpillar let out a long sigh, not daring to look into Qingyi's eyes again, and lowered his head silently.

Even though she was knocked away for no apparent reason, Qingyi still asked in a good-tempered manner when she saw the dog's state: "Why did you suddenly run over and bump into me?"

After taking a look at Growlithe, Qingyi knew that it should be a Pokémon with a good personality. It would be impossible for it to attack humans without any reason. So there must be a reason behind this. She had to find out!

"Ow~"

Hearing Qingyi's gentle question, Caterpillar raised its head and barked in disbelief.

I didn't expect that after I bumped into this girl, she would still be willing to speak to me so gently.

Caterpie's eyes flickered, and then he explained: "Awoo, awoo!"

After Qingyi understood what Catidog meant, she was surprised: "You mean you were learning the move of Speed, but it didn't work, and you didn't stop in time, so you accidentally bumped into me!"

She thought there was some shocking secret, and couldn't help but imagine all the possible situations in her mind. She didn't expect it to be such a funny and simple reason.

What a coincidence!

"Awoo~" Caterpillar nodded, indicating that it was just as Qingyi said.

At this time, the Fire Monkey suddenly shouted: "Ah, ah?" Then why did you run away?

Yes, if that’s the case, just explain it clearly. Why did Growlithe run away?

Qingyi also looked at the Hound with a puzzled look.

Seeing that Qingyi and the others had misunderstood him, Caterpillar hurriedly explained: "Awoo, awoo!" I didn't mean to run away, I just wanted to go back and get my collection as compensation for hitting someone.

Because of its own fault, it accidentally bumped into someone. Caterpillar felt very guilty and wanted to use its collection to make amends. However, Qingyi's Infernape was eager to protect its master and held it tightly, not letting it go.

"Okay, you didn't mean it, and I never meant to blame you, so I don't need your compensation!" Qingyi smiled gently and said while touching the fluffy head of the Katnid.

"But I'm curious, why do you want to learn super speed at this time?" Qingyi bent down and suddenly asked while looking into Growlithe's eyes.

"Ouch, ouch!"

Caterpillar told Qingyi the reason why he learned so quickly.

After listening to Growlithe's narration, Qingyi finally understood why it was so anxious to learn so quickly. It was as dramatic as the reason why she was knocked away just now.

It turned out that Growlithe had a good friend, Ponyta. They had lived together since childhood and had always had a good relationship. However, they had a conflict some time ago. The reason was that during a race, Growlithe did not outrun Ponyta and fell behind a little, so he was a little depressed.

However, Ponytail did not notice the change in Growlithe's mood. Maybe he was not paying attention when he spoke and accidentally hurt Growlithe's self-esteem. So the two Pokémon had a big fight and went back to their respective homes.

Then, the unyielding Growlithe started to think about learning the move "Super Speed" on his own, hoping that after learning it he would be able to defeat Ponyta and regain his lost face.

"Ah!" Qingyi couldn't help but sigh and said, "You haven't evolved yet, how can you learn super speed!"

"And your evolution is different from other Pokémon. You need a Fire Stone."

At this point, Qingyi looked at Caterpie and asked, "Do you have the Fire Stone?"

Caterpillar was puzzled and looked at him with doubt: "Awoo?" What is the Fire Stone?

"That's it!" Qingyi took out the Pokémon encyclopedia and showed the picture of the Fire Stone to Growlithe.

Caterpillar looked at the orange-yellow stones in the picture, sorted through his own collection in his mind for a while, and then shook his head.

It certainly didn't have any stone of that color, but it did have a stone that was as black as night.

Qingyi's eyes suddenly lit up. A wild Growlithe that didn't have a Fire Stone but really wanted to learn super speed, wasn't this the Pokémon prepared for her?

After all, she has always wanted to own a majestic Arcanine!

Thinking of this, Qingyi looked at Caterpillar with a bright smile and asked, "Caterpillar, do you want to learn how to defeat Ponyta quickly?"

Katie nodded first, then shook her head.

Of course it wanted to, but didn’t the girl just say that if it wanted to learn super speed, it had to evolve. But if it wanted to evolve, it needed an orange-yellow fire stone, and it didn’t have it!

So, it's all in vain!

Thinking of this, Caterpillar drooped his eyelids in despair, exuding a sense of loss all over his body.

"Catti, don't be discouraged. You don't have the Fire Stone, but I do. As long as you agree to one condition, I can use the Fire Stone to help you evolve!"

Seeing that Caterpillar was discouraged and lost, Qingyi comforted him with temptation in her voice.

Hearing this, Caterpillar was a little interested, "Awooo?" What conditions?

Qingyi chuckled, moved closer to Growlithe, and said with a smile: "I am very optimistic about you! So I want you to be my Pokémon, and this is my condition!"

"How about it?"

"You become my Pokémon, and I use the Fire Stone to help you evolve. This is only fair!"

Caterpillar pondered for a while and nodded in agreement, but it wanted Qingyi to fight it to see if she had the strength to tame it.

Growlithe is not opposed to becoming a human Pokémon, but it also has its own pride. Although it covets the Fire Stone, it is unwilling to be conquered like this, so fighting is the best option.

Qingyi agreed to Growlithe's request without even thinking twice, as she was very confident in her own and Pokémon's strengths.

Hearing that Qingyi was going to have a battle with Growlithe, Infernape jumped over to her and volunteered, "Ah!" Yiyi, let me do it!

Qingyi looked at Infernape, who was full of fighting spirit, and did not immediately agree to its request. Instead, she opened the system panel and glanced at Growlithe.

Although she is very confident, she also needs to understand the specific strength of Growlithe before making any arrangements. After all, she must defeat Growlithe in this battle and doesn't want to fail.

[Catti, fire attribute, puppy Pokémon. 】

"Great Sage, it's up to you!"

After seeing the message from Growlithe, Qingyi let Infernape take on the challenge.

Growlithe's level is slightly higher than Infernape's, but the gap is only two or three levels, so it shouldn't be difficult to surpass it under her command.

In that case, she didn't need to reject the Fire Monkey's request, so as not to undermine its confidence.

After both sides were ready, Qingyi pointed her hand forward and said, "Great Sage, use the Sonic Fist."

Infernape was already on high alert. When it heard Qingyi's voice, it immediately rushed towards Growlithe. When it got close, it punched with lightning speed.

Growlithe wanted to dodge, but it was too late and was hit by Infernape's fist.

However, the characteristic of Growlithe is intimidation. Although it did not make Infernape retreat, it still reduced its attack.
