“Chansey, keep using Sing,” Rachel said, lightly biting her lips.
Tauros was doing enormous damage to Chansey.
In contrast, with Chansey’s pitiful base physical attack stat and all of its physical moves, it practically could not cause much damage.
Although Chansey was Level 38, if she depended only on her to challenge gyms, it would be extremely difficult.
The melodious singing spread across the ranch.
This time, Tauros finally fell asleep, making Rachel let out a sigh of relief.
Now she had confidence in defeating that Tauros.
Chansey really was not good at battling.
“Chansey, use Double-Edge continuously.” Double-Edge was a major move with 120 power.
After using it, any damage it caused to Tauros would also be felt by herself.
That was also Chansey’s strongest move.
Unfortunately, Chansey’s pitiful 5 points of base physical attack made such a powerful move go to waste.
Bang!
Breaking through the air, Chansey crashed into Tauros.
Both lost quite a lot of health.
Tauros lost one sixth, while Chansey’s HP loss seemed very small, but in reality, it was the same as Tauros’s.
The main reason was that her amount of HP was too large.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
It was not until the fifth turn that Tauros woke up from its sleep state.
Feeling pain all over its body, Tauros immediately fell into a violent fury.
Then it used Revenge.
Because it used Revenge after Chansey attacked, its power doubled, reaching no less than 100 points.
“Chansey, use Soft-Boiled.” Originally, with one more use of Double-Edge, she could defeat Tauros, but Rachel, following a principle of caution, used Soft-Boiled to recover half of Chansey’s HP.
Half of Chansey’s HP was even equivalent to twice Tauros’s full HP!
Bang!
Upon being attacked by Tauros, she immediately lost two fifths of her health.
Her physical defense, practically nonexistent, shattered under Tauros’s attack.
“Chansey, give Tauros the final Double-Edge.” Immediately afterward, Chansey counterattacked.
She crashed into Tauros and defeated that arrogant leader of the Tauros.
Capturing Tauros, sending it out again, having Chansey use Heal Pulse, and Tauros saying goodbye to its herd: everything happened in one go.
“With this, I finally have confidence to carry out gym battles,” Rachel let out a sigh of relief.
Carrying Audino and Chansey, two healer Pokémon, she had finally captured an attacking Pokémon.
The joy she felt was difficult to describe.
“Before, my weakness was too obvious.
If it were him, he probably would have seen it at a glance,” Rachel murmured.
“Ding!” Suddenly, Rachel raised her head.
Not only this beautiful and kind woman, but countless players also raised their heads at the same time: some joyful, some sad, some excited, and some anxious.
The gym system had opened!
“At last, I’ll be able to get TMs,” Rachel said in a low voice.
Only she knew how uncomfortable it was for Chansey, having physical attack and physical defense almost equal to 0, to still have to get close and use physical moves.
…
Crystal Lake.
The videos of Logan’s battles were recorded by many people and uploaded to the forum, gaining quite a lot of popularity.
Logan did not care.
Although Rotom was his trump card, exposing its normal form was not a big problem.
It also did not matter to reveal its Electric type.
If someone dared to use a Ground type to counter it, they would taste what it meant to have no way to act.
During that training time, Heracross rose 2 levels and was currently Level 22.
Along the way, who knew how many Pokémon fell and were put on the forum.
Logan could not simply leave those Pokémon abandoned.
If he did not capture them, there were quite a few people beside him who wanted to do it.
Pokémon of such high levels, even if they were the weakest Magikarp, were already enough to compensate for the cost of the Poké Balls.
And the auction post that Logan had specially opened for himself on the forum became more and more popular, becoming one of the hottest auction posts on the forum, known for offering high-level Pokémon with strong potential.
When Heracross reached Level 22, Logan recalled it and switched to Hawlucha.
He made Hawlucha stay up high, supporting from the air, while the already leveled-up Rotom repeatedly used the Charge + Discharge combo.
In the end, he let Hawlucha finish them off little by little.
Hawlucha rose 4 levels and was currently Level 21.
For Logan, it was barely enough.
The next move, Fling, was only learned at Level 24 and required an enormous amount of experience.
In the end, Logan even sent out Growlithe.
Growlithe’s base stats were not especially high, and on top of that, it was Fire type, countered by the Poliwag.
But precisely because of that, it was enough to attract hatred.
In double battles, Logan did not make the Fire-type Growlithe act as the main attacker.
Instead, after using Helping Hand at the start, it began dodging moves cunningly while using Ember to attract attention.
Immediately, all the attacks were directed toward Growlithe.
Logan also sweated for Growlithe.
If any of those attacks hit, it would be defeated instantly.
But Growlithe’s combat instinct was very strong.
It predicted the impact points of the attacks and dodged them by a hair’s breadth.
Upon being struck by Charge + Discharge from a Rotom that was growing higher and higher in level, the Poliwag’s remaining HP became lower and lower.
Even Growlithe could finish them off with difficulty.
For Growlithe, using Poliwag to level up was relatively more difficult.
But after a while, it also reached Level 21 and learned Reversal and Fire Fang, obtaining a great gain.
Reversal and Fire Fang were extremely powerful moves.
Especially Reversal; if used well, it could truly have an effect worthy of its name: reversing a desperate situation.
And Rotom, who had helped level up three Pokémon, was the one who obtained the greatest harvest.
Not only did it rise 5 levels, reaching the terrifying Level 26, but it also learned Shock Wave, a move that never misses, consolidating its position as Logan’s trump card.
The current Rotom, even in its normal form, was the existence with the highest Combat Power on Logan’s team.
And if it obtained virtual appliances and changed form, its combat strength would be even more unimaginable.
Level 21 Hawlucha, Level 21 Growlithe, Level 22 Heracross, and Level 26 Rotom.
On Logan’s team, aside from the Pineco he did not plan to train, all Pokémon had surpassed Level 20!
And those that surpassed 1000 Combat Power were no less than three!
Secretly, Logan gave himself some praise for his strength and silently thought about his future path of ascent.
It was still the same phrase: to realize the value of his life.

“I didn’t expect the gym system to open so quickly.” “Ding!” [Player Logan, choose the level of the tournament you wish to participate in.
Once confirmed, it cannot be modified.] [Local tournament or regional tournament.] [Please choose.] “Regional tournament,” Logan said without hesitation.
He was an undisputed first-rate player.
If he did not even dare to participate in the regional tournament, would that not be a laughing matter?
“Ding!” [Selection completed.] [You have been registered as a participant of the Regional Tournament.] [As a participant of the Regional Tournament, player Logan will not be able to challenge local gyms as an official competitor.] [Search for the location of the regional gyms on your own.] [The Gym Leaders will be NPCs from the closed beta.] [Methods to obtain badges: defeat the Gym Leader or obtain their recognition.] (End of Chapter) PKGO-En
