For newbies, Alex personally finds it a bit dull.
After all, strictly speaking, it was the first time for Lily and Jason to battle with Pokémon, and even before that, they had no impression of Pokémon at all.
It's too much to expect them to have a well-fought battle...
Another factor is that the current Charmander and Vulpix are too weak, with only three unique moves available in total.
But obviously, although Alex felt that he couldn't bear to look directly, Lily and Jason, who were battling each other, were completely absorbed and devoted.
On the other hand, Emma also watched with great interest.
Pokémon battles are really too new for them!
Especially in the battle, Lily was even sweating slightly on her forehead at this moment.
Although the fire-type Ember attack is not effective against Charmander, it can't handle taking this damage all the time!
Charmander was out of breath at the moment, and it was obvious that Charmander should be exhausted.
But what about the opposing Vulpix fox? It was still in pretty good condition.
"Darn it! You're too shameless! Using real tricks here!"
"If it's so good, then come and fight head-on like a hero!"
Lily gritted her teeth. She wasn't stupid. After realizing that the only long-range move, Ember, was useless against Vulpix and instead gave Vulpix a buff, she knew she had to change tactics.
However, Jason didn't give her a chance at all!
"Miss, do you think I'm foolish? My Vulpix doesn't even have close-range moves, so why would I engage in close combat?"
Jason was surprised after hearing Lily's words, with a wise look on his face.
It's a big advantage for his little fox to have Flash Fire Ability. Why shouldn't he kite?
Besides, his Vulpix doesn't have any close-range attacks at all right now, except for Ember, Tail Whip, and Disable.
Disable temporarily immobilizes and blocks the opponent's moves, while Tail Whip reduces the opponent's physical defense...
Neither of these two skills are suitable for use. Should he let his Vulpix headbutt the Charmander?
"It's called tactics, do you understand? Miss, you're still a little inexperienced."
Jason was very pleased with himself; these sisters were novices!
His little fox was invincible!
"Ahhhh!! Charmander, take down that pesky fox for me!"
"Vulpix, use Ember again!"
Well, after another 'battle' for a while, with another Ember from Vulpix, Charmander finally couldn't hold on anymore, rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground.
"Ah! Charmander, are you alright?"
Seeing Charmander faint, Lily was shocked and hurried to the battlefield to pick up Charmander.
Jason and Emma also hurried over.
"Don't worry, it just lost the ability to fight and will wake up soon."
Alex walked over to Lily and took out the high-grade Potion spray prepared in advance, spraying the wound on Charmander's body.
And the effect of the advanced Potion spray was indeed very good, and within two seconds, Charmander reopened its eyes.
"Phew~ that scared me to death."
Lily was relieved to see this because Charmander suddenly fainted just now, so her heart was in her throat.
Now it seemed to be exactly what the boss had said.
"Charmander..."
But Charmander, who woke up, looked very downcast and whimpered in a low voice, its human-like sad expression very distressing.
It was upset over losing to Vulpix and was apologizing to Lily.
"It's okay, Charmander, it's my fault, it's my poor command."
Strangely, Lily understood Charmander's thoughts and gently comforted Charmander.
"It's all because that fox and its trainer are so cunning! But it's okay, we'll beat them next time, okay?"
Jason: "..."
Vulpix: "..."
Alright, since I won, you can slander me all you want.
Jason pouted, too lazy to care about this girl.
"Charmander!!"
Charmander's big eyes became firm, and it nodded its head to Lily.
"Hee hee~ Charmander is awesome!" Seeing Charmander's mood getting better, a smile suddenly appeared on Lily's face, and she couldn't help rubbing her cheek against Charmander.
Cute little buddy~
"Let's go, head back to the store first. Although the injury was treated with Potion, Charmander now needs to rest." Alex smiled at the three of them.
Back in the rest area of the store, Diancie put down the camera and went back to watching cartoons, while Alex poured juice for the three and sat down.
"How did you feel about the fight just now, you two?"
Alex asked Lily and Jason, who were feeding Vulpix and Charmander.
"Excellent! Boss, the feeling of battling is really great!"
Lily replied excitedly, adjusting her high ponytail.
Although losing the first battle in her life was a bit disappointing, it didn't prevent her from enjoying this kind of Pokémon battle.
"Yes, the feeling of being fully engaged is really fascinating, more exciting than playing a video game."
Jason was also full of praise while adjusting his glasses. He really didn't know what words to use to describe it, but he knew he liked the feeling of battling.
It even made him reminisce now; the feeling of commanding Vulpix to fight and suppress the opponent was so cool!
Hearing their answers, Alex showed a sincere smile on his face.
There's also an unspeakable satisfaction in seeing others' heartfelt love for Pokémon battles.
"It does look interesting, emmm, I just don't know if Squirtle can do it?"
Emma blinked and looked at Squirtle, who was staring at Charmander's tail, with some suspicion.
But when he heard his own trainer questioning his ability, Squirtle turned his head instantly, puffed up his cheeks, and raised his chest with dissatisfaction.
"Squirtle! Squirtle! (I can take on that red-skinned lizard!)"
"What did you say, little turtle?" Emma was a little dazed.
"Squirtle Squirtle! (The red-skinned lizard and the little fox are both weaklings in front of this turtle!)"
"Emmmm... are you hungry?"
But apparently, Emma still didn't quite understand and asked Squirtle after thinking about it.
"Squirtle! (Silly trainer!)"
Squirtle couldn't wait to use Water Gun on this foolish trainer's face.
"..."
Alex gave Emma a strange look, but after thinking about it, he still didn't tell her what Squirtle wanted to convey.
"It's a little strange to say, boss, are Pokémon's stamina as good as Charmander's?"
After taking a sip of water, Jason raised this question to Alex.
Vulpix hit Charmander with Ember so many times just now, but Charmander seemed to be almost unscathed at first. Is its defense and physical strength really that good?
