Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 369 The Art of Playing the Counter-Attack (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

"Professor Jinghe, please give me your guidance!"

In the second round, Jinghe encountered the foodie duo, Ami and Ali.

Because they had already won a match, they were no longer under pressure and were more relaxed when facing Jing He.

At the referee's signal, the two summoned their respective Pokémon.

"Go ahead, Steelix!"

"It's up to you, Çalem!"

The Pokémon that Ami summoned was her signature Steelix.

As the Gym Leader of a Steel-type Gym, and known as the "Iron-Walled Girl," her Steelix is ​​more well-known than her Ampharos "Radiant."

Ari's Pokémon Medicam is a humanoid Pokémon, resembling a yogi, wearing baggy red pants and having red hair. It is a very typical Fighting-type Pokémon.

"Medicham, the Meditation Pokémon, is a Fighting/Psychic type. It can predict its opponent's actions through mental power and is said to be able to meditate on Roto for a month without eating!"

After Rotom drilled back into the Pokédex, it resumed its "duty" of doing its job.

It has to be said that Çalem's characteristic of not eating for a month is absolutely a perfect match for Ali's current situation.

As the two summoned their respective Pokémon, Jinghe also threw out his two Poké Balls.

"Woo!!"

"Ku!!"

Amidst flashing red light, the plump Dragonite and its serious-looking Kuma-sama made their appearance.

The appearance of these two Pokémon caused quite a stir at the scene.

After all, Dragonite is a pseudo-legendary Pokémon in the Kanto region and is quite famous.

Kubuck is an even rarer Pokémon than Dragonite. Most people can't even name it right away and can only get to know it through introductions from others.

"Teacher Jinghe is serious," Da Ye said to Dian Ci in a low voice.

He had personally witnessed and even experienced Dragonite's overwhelming strength and Kuma's profound understanding of fighting techniques.

Especially for Dragonite's "Controllable Outburst".

The fact that Regigigas was able to be knocked down by Greatsmith's hammer was absolutely crucial to Dragonite's impact.

Even without Da Ye saying anything, Dian Ci could sense it from the state, aura, and presence of these two Pokémon.

It's not just them.

The same was true for Ami and Ali on the other side.

However, despite his apprehension, Ah Li seemed even more excited.

Finally, I can have a match with "Fighting Master" Jing He.

Although it wasn't the "real-life fight" she had hoped for, it was still pretty good.

"Teacher Jinghe, we will definitely do our best!" Ali shouted with great enthusiasm, clenching his fist.

Ami was rather shy and didn't make any pre-battle declarations, but her nodding gesture was a way of acknowledging A-Li's words.

The two have collaborated multiple times to challenge the Seven Star Restaurant, and their tacit understanding is beyond doubt.

After confirming that both sides were ready, the presiding referee immediately announced:

"The battle begins!"

"Steel Serpent, make your body lighter!"

Ami looks shy, but she immediately becomes serious and fully engaged in battle, giving commands right away.

"Roar--!!"

The enormous Steelix suddenly straightened up and roared, causing a large number of metal parts to fall off its body, making the Steelix lighter and greatly increasing its speed.

"just?!"

The master blacksmith sitting in the audience jumped up with a start.

He stared blankly at the scattered metal pieces on the ground, clenching his fists.

Jing He was also very glad that he hadn't sent the master blacksmith to the field, otherwise...
It's estimated that the Great Blacksmith might be able to make Amy's Steelix a little lighter.

"Charem, Reflect Wall!"

Ami also gave instructions at almost the same time.

Çalhan flashed in front of Steelix and waved his hands down, instantly creating a series of transparent walls.

While one side strengthened its defenses, the other side adopted a defensive stance to counter the attack.

Furthermore, there was no verbal or eye contact between the two parties.

This shows that Ami and Ali have a very high level of understanding.

Moreover, in two-player battles, the advantage of having two people in command becomes immediately apparent.

If two people have good chemistry and each commands two Pokémon in a battle, they have a significant advantage in terms of controlling the battle rhythm and issuing commands quickly, compared to one person commanding two Pokémon at the same time.

Of course, that's when facing ordinary trainers.

Having Jinghe command six Pokémon at the same time might be a little cumbersome, as he might not be able to take care of each Pokémon simultaneously and in a timely manner.

But if you're only commanding two...
"Dragonite, Dragon Dance!"

“Woo~!!”

Dragonite suddenly flapped its wings, creating a shockwave, and an aura that seemed somewhat incongruous with its appearance burst forth. With the support of Dragon Dance, its aura continued to rise.

The bear apprentice simply stood in front of the Dragonite, just like Medicham, without making any move.

Of course, it wasn't because Jing He couldn't give the order in time.

On the contrary, it was because Jinghe was confident enough in his reaction ability and on-the-spot command ability that Xiong's apprentice did not move, just to better counter the move.

Most viewers didn't understand this point, but Da Ye and A Mi did.

So instead of appearing more relaxed, Ami and Ali looked even more serious.

However, it is undeniable that in a two-person command operation, the initiative in the battle will definitely be in the hands of both of them.

Ever since.

The two launched their attack with lightning speed!
"Giant Steel Serpent, tie it tight!" Ami waved her hand.

Rumble!
The massive Steelix exhibited a speed completely different from its size.

Moreover, its larger size shortens the distance between it and Dragonite and Kuma.

Steelix only moved a short distance before suddenly twisting its body and using its tail to ensnare the Dragonite in mid-air.

They seem to regard Dragonite as the biggest threat.

"Woo——"

However, a sudden white light flashed across Dragonite's body, and with the speed advantage brought by "Godspeed", it skillfully avoided Steelix's tail and charged straight at Medicham.

however.

A sly smile appeared on Ami's quiet face.

Steelix's tail swept past Dragonite and lashed straight at Kuma's apprentice!

Their initial target wasn't Dragonite, but Kuma's apprentice!
The main strategy is to take things by surprise!
Jing He narrowed his eyes, and after many thoughts flashed through his mind, he still did not give any instructions, but only shouted a sentence.

"Get away."

Facing the incredibly thick tail that was whipping towards him, Xiong's apprentice strictly followed Jing He's instructions, refraining from making a move and dodging to the side.

just.

In the end, he couldn't avoid it and was entangled by the giant steel snake's tail! "Huh?" Da Ye in the audience was stunned.

If he and Denji could understand the moves the previous apprentice Xiong made, they were a little confused about the current ones.

If even the two of them didn't understand, then the other viewers certainly wouldn't.

"Is it a bit of a stretch for Teacher Jinghe to command two Pokémon against two people all by himself?"

"There's nothing we can do about it, after all, our opponents are two gym leaders as well."

"So, Teacher Jinghe is going to suffer a severe punishment today?!"

"I'm starting to get a little excited!"

"."

These "haters" couldn't wait to see Jing He get beaten up, and they even got excited about it.

On the field.

The Dragonite, using its incredible speed to rush towards Medicham, was blocked by Reflect.

And even this tiny gap was seized upon by Ah Li.

Her whole body tensed up, and she suddenly shouted:
"Charem! Flying Knee Kick!"

Jing He thought to herself: Just as I expected.

"Lei Moo!"

Charem stared intently at his bear apprentice, lowered his body slightly, and then his legs sprang up into the air like springs.

His whole body was tense like a fully drawn bowstring. He thrust his knees forward, concentrating all his strength into one point, and kicked at his "tightly bound" apprentice.

The Flying Knee Kick is an extremely powerful Fighting-type move, boasting a power of 130 points!
However, this move has a fatal weakness: if it misses, the user will suffer extremely severe rebound damage.

That's why Steelix is ​​needed to help restrict the movements of the bear apprentice.

Steelix initially used a lightweight body to increase speed, which was also a preparation for this.

The more important point is.

Charem's special ability - the power of yoga!
[Yoga Power: Damage from non-fixed damage physical attacks is increased to twice its original value!]

The already powerful flying knee kick, combined with the "Yoga Power" trait, makes Charem's kick absolutely explosive!
Even if the bear apprentice is not countered by fighting-type moves, he will definitely be killed instantly if hit!

This is Ah Mi and Ah Li's tactic.

While it seems that the Steelix, which was strengthened at the start, will become the main force, the actual main force is Medicham.

Once bound by Steelix, they have no way to escape, creating an excellent opportunity for Medicham to deliver a fatal blow.

Losing a Pokémon is absolutely fatal in doubles battles.

It's going to happen!

This was everyone's first thought.

But at this moment.

The bear apprentice, who hadn't made a move since entering the arena, finally made a move.

"Koo~! (－ω－) zzZ"

It even fell asleep while being restrained by the Steelix.

With a serious expression, it suddenly exerted its strength, creating some space for itself to move its arms, much to the surprise of Steelix.

And Jing He's voice rang out at just the right moment.

"See through it all!"

See through is similar to Protect, the only difference being that Protect relies on an energy shield, while See through requires a Pokémon with higher fighting skills and the ability to counter attacks.

Çalhan's deadly flying knee kick was completely parried by the bear apprentice, who successfully deflected the force.

boom! !

Çalam crashed heavily into the ground, creating a deafening roar and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Wow——! !

There was an uproar.

You managed to handle all of this?
Those in the audience should ask themselves honestly: faced with this situation, none of us could escape it.

Even Dai-e and Den-ji might be the same.

Because if they were in command, they would have Ursa use Cognition when Steelix tried to restrain Ursa.

However, this meant that while the bear apprentice was not bound, he also lost the best opportunity to dodge, and in the end, he was completely powerless to resist when faced with Çalem's flying knee kick.

"So Teacher Jinghe has been waiting all along."

"Didn't they manage to 'take down' Teacher Jinghe?"

"Hiss—you actually reacted so quickly?"

"."

Denji's expression was serious. "Rather than realizing it, it's more accurate to say that Professor Jinghe had been waiting for Ali Charem's move from the very beginning."

Da Ye strongly agreed with this.

"I feel that Ami and Ali's tactics have been seen through long ago. Teacher Jinghe has deliberately opened a net to let them in."

This gave the two a new understanding of Jinghe's tactical abilities.

Unlike routines.

This is purely about responding to each move and countering it, which better demonstrates a trainer's tactical skill.

at the same time.

Jing He gently adjusted her glasses.

"Checkmate! Mizutani Tail!"

Dragonite turned around just as Medicham kicked at the bear apprentice, arriving perfectly beside Steelix.

The tail, carrying a stream of water, lashed down heavily, causing immense damage to Steelix.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the bear apprentice completely broke free from Steelix's restraints and engaged in a final close-quarters battle.

Steelix, unable to fight!

Finally, only Çalhöyük, which had been damaged by the backlash of the flying knee kick, remained, and it was no longer able to cause much trouble.

The battle is over!

Although the entire match was quick from start to finish, it was still a thrilling experience for the audience.

This is the art of doubles.

Dispose of tricks at a glance.

If they weren't facing Teacher Jinghe, Ami and Ali's tactics would definitely have given all the other groups a run for their money.

But nothing.

Jinghe's strategy of "responding to all changes with constancy" is too brilliant.

The outcome was sealed the moment Çalhanoğlu's flying knee missed.

Pokémon battles involve both going first and going second.

Jinghe demonstrated his skill in using the second move this time.

Ah Mi and Ah Li were completely convinced of their defeat.
