Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Hydro Cannon
Gary and Blastoise looked at the massive mountain wall. With Blastoise's Hydro Pump, it seemed impossible to destroy such a thick wall.
"Can this really be done?" Gary thought that if Blastoise mega evolved and used Hydro Pump, it might be possible to destroy the mountain wall.
It would be very difficult to just blow it through with sheer force.
"It depends on your and Blastoise's efforts. I can teach you," Mizuko said, taking out a Poké Ball from her clothes and throwing it out.
Great!
[LV60 Feraligatr/Elite]
A Feraligatr with Elite potential, one of the three starter Water-type Pokémon in the Johto Region.
"Feraligatr, use Hydro Cannon."
Mizuko gave the order, and a large amount of blue energy burst out from Feraligatr's body.
A Rapid Spin water stream condensed in front of its mouth, and then a rapid water column sprayed out.
It was called a water column, but it was more like a beam of light condensed by water power.
Boom!!!
A big hole was blasted out of the huge mountain wall. This was definitely not the damage that Blastoise could cause at this stage.
This Feraligatr's potential was not as good as Blastoise's. Although there was a gap in level between the two, the gap should not be so big.
"This is Hydro Cannon. There is no trick. It just compresses water energy, but it requires the bond power of Trainer and Pokémon to compress water energy to this extent. You try hard," Mizuko said.
"Okay, Blastoise, try to communicate the bond power to compress water energy," Gary said.
"Blastoise!"
Blastoise nodded, and the condensed water energy in the cannons began to compress, then sprayed out water bubbles.
Bang!!
The Hydro Pump hit the mountain wall, but it only broke a few pieces of rubble, and the mountain wall was not penetrated.
"To feel the power of the bond, your Hydro Pump is no different from your usual full-strength Hydro Pump," Gary said.
"By the way, I forgot to give you this. Wear it, and it can help you practice Hydro Cannon."
Mizuko thought of something, took out a bracelet, came to Gary, and grabbed Gary's right hand without thinking, and slapped the bracelet directly onto Gary's wrist.
The bracelet was directly put on Gary's wrist.
"Huh? This is...!"
Gary looked at the bracelet carefully.
There was a water drop logo on it, which was very similar to the bracelet that the skill teacher took out in the special comic.
"This bracelet helps you connect the power between you and Blastoise. When the water drop on it lights up, it means that your intention is conveyed to Blastoise, so that you can use Hydro Cannon," Mizuko said.
"Why didn't you take out this thing earlier?" Gary complained.
"I forgot it, so continue," Mizuko stepped aside and let Gary and Blastoise continue to practice.
Gary and Blastoise continued to practice Hydro Cannon, but no matter how they tried, the water drop on the bracelet did not light up, indicating that Gary's intentions were not conveyed to Blastoise.
Gary was also quite troubled. The power of the bond existed in the Pokémon world, but it was also the most erratic power.
Even Ash, in his advanced stage, could not master this power.
After three consecutive days of practice, Blastoise's Hydro Pump skills had improved a little, but it still hadn't mastered Hydro Cannon.
He came here just to learn Hydro Cannon. Ultimate skills are difficult to learn.
There are not many Pokémon that have ultimate skills. Even Leon's Charizard has not mastered the ultimate skill of fire, Blast Burn.
A week later, Hydro Cannon was still nowhere to be seen, but Gary asked Mizuko for half a day off. The reason for the leave was to go to Mt. Ember to see if Moltres had arrived.
For the sake of convenience, Gary rode Articuno directly to the entrance of Mt. Ember Volcano.
After arriving, he asked Zapdos to rain for half an hour. Moltres did not appear, so Gary rode Articuno back to the cape.
After a long time, the Fire and Rock Pokémon living on Mt. Ember became frustrated. Why does it rain all the time? They don't like rainy days.
"Mr. Gary, it seems that your intention cannot be conveyed to Blastoise. You have no chance to learn Hydro Cannon, so give up," Mizuko advised Gary to give up after a month of unsuccessful attempts.
"Don't Blastoise and I meet the conditions for learning?" Gary asked.
"Meeting the conditions doesn't mean you can master it. I suggest you give up and don't waste your money. The mountain wall has been washed smooth by your Blastoise," Mizuko said.
Because of the long-term use of Hydro Pump to attack the mountain wall, the mountain wall had been washed smooth and looked like stalactites.
"Give me another week, okay? If I can't learn it, I will give up," Gary said.
"Okay," Mizuko agreed and gave Gary one last week.
"Blastoise, practice for another week. If you still can't master it, then give up on Hydro Cannon," Gary said.
"Blastoise..." Blastoise was a little depressed, wondering if it was its fault.
Blastoise has always been very confident in its own strength.
This time, it took a month to learn a skill, but it still couldn't find the shadow of Hydro Cannon, which made it feel discouraged.
"It's not your fault it's my problem. Don't be discouraged. It doesn't matter if you don't master Hydro Cannon. We can still become stronger. Your strength does not depend on whether you can master ten powerful skills," Gary comforted.
"Blastoise."
Blastoise nodded and tried to learn for another week. If it really couldn't learn it, then forget it.
Three days later in the morning.
It's time to go to Mt. Ember regularly. He followed Articuno to the entrance of Mt. Ember Volcano.
Gary looked at the entrance of the Volcano. How many Fire Pokémon survived in the magma, Gary knew clearly in his heart.
"It seems that Moltres will not come here to rest during this period," Gary looked at the clear sky. A month has passed, and there is no trace of Moltres.
But Gary only needs one Moltres to complete the task issued by the system. He is unwilling to leave now.
After all, waiting here is not a solution. Gary also wants to defeat the Orange League. Maybe he can trigger the system task and get a few high-level Rare Candies as rewards.
"Blastoise, use Rain Dance." Gary was too lazy to release Zapdos and let Blastoise do it directly, just in time to practice the Rain Dance skill.
"Blastoise."
Blastoise came out of the Poké Ball and shot two water balls at the sky.
The water balls exploded at the height of several tens of meters at the mouth of the Volcano Sky.
Clouds quickly gathered together, and it began to rain.
