Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 415: Do you understand the true value of the title 'Tactical Master'? (4200 words!)

“You did a great job, Rock Ding.”

Maga said something to the retrieved Poké Ball, then took out his third Poké Ball.

Without any hesitation, he threw it.

His face still showed confidence, or perhaps even more confidence.

It seemed as if they were completely unaffected by the previous battle.

"Go, Giant Coal Mountain!"

This is Maga's signature Pokémon.

Its shape resembles a bipedal dinosaur, its body appears to be made entirely of hard, black rock, and its back seems to be carrying a small hill of coal, constantly radiating a scorching red heat.

Coalossal is a coal-type Pokémon, with the Rock and Fire attributes.

It must be said that this combination of attributes is not particularly outstanding, as it has two weaknesses of four times: ground and water, and one weakness of two times: rock.

But if we exploit these two weaknesses
"A giant boulder has landed on the field!!"

At this point, the host noticed something that many viewers had not noticed.

As the giant coal mountain appeared, those boulders faintly emitted a peculiar halo.

"Should we activate 'energy points' like this?"

"Holy crap, so there's a way to activate the 'energy point' feature in singles?"

"I've failed! I've failed!"

The audience gasped in surprise.

Clearly, this is Maga's "exclusive technique," and most trainers cannot grasp the secrets of it. Even if they try to imitate it, they will most likely not be able to learn it.

Jing He, who had already noticed this, twitched at the corner of her mouth and thought to herself, "Just as I expected."

Is it now acceptable to be so blatant in using cheats?

Doesn't this amount to one against two?

The boulder left by Boulder Ding activates an "energy point," which greatly enhances the attack power of Giant Coal Mountain.

But Magua said it wasn't over yet!

He adjusted his glasses with one hand and waved the other, shouting with great enthusiasm, "Giant Coal Mountain, steam engine, get to work!"

"Roar!!"

The coal on the back of the giant coal mountain turned an even deeper red, and plumes of milky white steam billowed out from the coal mountain.

Under the influence of this steam, Giant Coal Mountain became like a steam-powered car, its body instantly becoming several times more agile!
Giant Coal Mountain's special ability: Steam Engine, Trigger!

[Steam Engine: When attacked by water or fire-type moves, its speed increases dramatically!]

A huge increase means maximum speed, directly boosting the level by six!
"No, was Giant Coal Mountain attacked?"

"Yeah, how did that trigger the 'steam engine'?"

Many viewers expressed their incomprehension regarding this.

"It's water!"

However, the host was quite observant and noticed a significant amount of residual water from the water cannons that Rotom had previously used to clean the area.

"It's water flowing on the ground that was absorbed by the Giant Coal Mountain!"

Giant Coal Mountain stands in a huge crater created by the trampling of a giant boulder.

The crater was filled with water from the Rotom water cannons.

As you can see, the moisture in the depression disappears at a visible rate, turning into steam that is emitted from the back of the giant coal mountain.

"Can you still play like this?!"

"I really learned something new this time!"

"Teacher Jinghe, danger!"

The audience was amazed by Magua's "operations".

It turns out that when Giant Stone Ding was summoned from Magua, it was all part of the plan for the appearance of Giant Coal Mountain.

No.

Perhaps the appearance of the Rock and Water type giant armored turtles first is also a preparation for the Giant Coal Mine?
However, it was interrupted by Teacher Jinghe's "magic scarf" tactic.

In singles tactics, it is not uncommon for one or even two Pokémon to support another Pokémon and create suitable opportunities for it to sweep the team.

Giant Coal Mountain also underwent its "transformation" here.

Nourishes—

However, although Jinghe was speechless at Magua's actions, he didn't just stand there watching.

He's not the kind of gentleman who watches you improve your skills before slowly battling you.

Therefore, when Giant Coal Mountain appears, an electromagnetic wave attack is inevitable.

Coalossal, being a Fire-type Pokémon, cannot be burned, so paralysis is the standard condition.

"Roar!!"

The giant coal mountain, stimulated by the electric current, stared at Rotom with its bloodshot eyes.

"Lo, Loto! ( )"

Rotom was in a panic.

I'm really just a cameraman!
"Don't panic," Jing He said with a smile.

"Loto."

He could still laugh at this moment, and Rotom didn't dare to look into Coal Mountain's eyes.

However, it must be admitted that Jinghe's smile and calm demeanor reassured Rotom a lot.

At least.

Lotom believed that Jinghe wouldn't ask him to "deliver" her.

"It's our turn to attack, Giant Coal Mountain, earthquake!"

"Roar!!"

With a roar, the giant coal mountain stomped its foot on the ground, causing the entire ground to tremble violently and radiate outwards in ripples towards Rotom.

Because the "gravitational field" left by the giant rock still exists, an earthquake is undoubtedly the best option for Rotom at this moment.

"Hold on," Jing He said calmly.

"Loto!"

Feeling the ground shake, Rotom immediately deployed his emerald green barrier, which withstood the impact of the earthquake.

Seeing that Rotom had blocked the attack, Magua was not surprised at all and continued his fierce attack.

"Giant Coal Mountain, one more time, earthquake!"

"substitute."

With the help of a Stand, Giant Coal Mountain's attack was blocked once again.

"Protect the substitute? Is Teacher Jinghe just barely clinging to life?"

"Doesn't this mean we've essentially abandoned our 'imposing aura'?"

"Is the 'defense of the poison' tactic being applied here, focusing on whether or not the defense is successful?"

"No, it's also possible that they're waiting for Giant Coal Mountain to be paralyzed and affected."

"Hilarious! Doesn't Teacher Jinghe know his own bad luck? The third earthquake has already struck!"

The audience indulged in their "mockery".

Rumbling--

Amidst a deafening roar, the third earthquake of Coal Mountain once again approached Rotom.

It was at this moment that Jing He's expression finally turned serious, and he said in a deep voice:
"Drop the sash and run to the edge of the field!"

"Loto!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Rotom quickly tore off his aura sash and ran as fast as he could towards the edge of the arena. The earthquake from Coal Mountain followed closely behind him, moving much faster than Rotom could run.

"Pfft—what's going on? Tearing off the aura sash to reduce weight?"

"Even so, it's impossible to outrun an earthquake!"

"Teacher Jinghe is panicking, he's definitely panicking!"

Jing He squinted, unaffected by the outside world, while Rotom, though nervous, still trusted Jing He's judgment completely, even though the ground beneath its feet had cracked.

"Now! The magic trick!"

hum-

Rotom performed another trick, but it had lost its aura sash, so Coal Mountain gained nothing, while Rotom gained the items that Coal Mountain was carrying.

The instant the trick succeeded, a sound like an electric alarm being triggered echoed from Rotom's body.

If the host were more professional, they might have exclaimed at this moment—Rotom has obtained the "weakness insurance" of Coal Mountain!
[Weakness Policy: When a Pokémon holding this item is hit by a Super Effective attack, its Attack and Special Attack are greatly increased!]

Rotom's momentum surged wildly.

"Loto!"

"Power!" Jing He shouted at the same time.

"Fly!"

The gravitational field disappeared almost the instant Jing He's voice fell.

Rotom also floated into the air immediately, avoiding most of the earthquake's impact.

The "floating" property has been restored!
next moment.

"Water cannons!"

slam-la-

A torrent of water gushed from Rotom's open washing machine chamber, engulfing the giant coal mountain.

Offense and defense can change in an instant.

"Giant Coal Mountain, hold it!" Magua's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted.

"Roar!!"

Luck was on the side of Magua and Giant Coal Mountain once again, forming a green barrier that blocked the surging water flow.

however.

Jinghe waited until she obtained the Weakness Insurance and Rotom received the Special Attack bonus before launching a counterattack, precisely to prevent Coal Mine from holding the Defense.

Otherwise, he could have let Rotom attack from the start.

We only have one chance, so we must increase our chances of success.

click -

The barrier was breached, but Rotom's water cannons did not end there.

boom! !

The surging water crashed head-on into the giant coal mountain, extinguishing its scorching heat, and its massive body collapsed heavily to the ground.

For a while.

The entire venue became exceptionally quiet.

Many viewers were stunned.

The eyes tell the brain that they witnessed the whole thing, but the brain tells them they don't understand what happened.

"Wonderful!"

Wu Song, who was in the private room, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Most of the audience didn't understand it, but Cynthia and the others in the VIP box did.

"The teacher timed the gravity effect perfectly, timing it just right, all to obtain the 'Weakness Insurance' item from Mount Coal," Daigo exclaimed.

This is also why Jinghe had Rotom run to the edge of the field to delay the impact of the earthquake as much as possible.

If the timing is even slightly later, Rotom could be instantly killed by the earthquake.

If the timing is slightly earlier, the "weakness insurance" item obtained through the exchange will not be able to be triggered.

Only when the "Weakness Insurance" is triggered and the gravitational field disappears, allowing Rotom to regain its "Float" property, can its advantage be maximized.

"To say he's taking a risk, he needs to obtain the 'Weakness Insurance' item to counter the 'Protect' of Coal Mountain."

Wu Song also clicked his tongue and said:

"But while he's steady, he's also incredibly precise in timing. If he makes even the slightest mistake, Rotom's chances are in jeopardy."

However, they also knew that Rotom only had one chance to counterattack. If he couldn't take down Coal Mountain in one hit, then Rotom would have no hope of winning.

Because once the "steam engine" property of Coal Mountain is triggered, even when paralyzed, its speed is no slower than Rotom's. In addition, the shattered terrain after the earthquake also affects Rotom's movement.

“Rotom’s complete trust in Jinghe is also very important,” Cynthia added.

If Rotom hesitated even a little, it would have been ineffective.

Everyone agreed with this.

In any operation involving precise timing, the mutual trust between the Pokémon and the trainer is extremely important.

Jinghe's composure gave Rotom courage.

"I have a question."

Da Ye raised his hand, and everyone turned to look at him.

"How can Teacher Jinghe be so certain that the prop carried by Giant Coal Mountain is definitely a 'weakness insurance'?"

This is indeed a problem, but...
Wu Song glanced at him sideways and said indifferently, "A brute should not ask a tactical master about his understanding of tactics and his judgment of the battle situation."

Da Ye: "."

If Jinghe were here, he would definitely say, "The 'steam engine' giant coal mountain has a 'weakness insurance'—do we even need to guess?"

Isn't that common sense?

Of course, the information in the [Illustrated Guide] is also one of the guarantees.

“If…” A-Liu also spoke up, chuckling, “If Teacher Jinghe had been a little luckier and Giant Coal Mountain had paralyzed him once, it wouldn’t have been so difficult to fight.”

The people in the private room couldn't help but smile knowingly.

When it comes to luck, Jinghe has never won against anyone.

"Brilliant tactics!"

at last.

With the guidance of the "expert," the host finally understood the whole process and shared it with all the viewers.

Only then did the audience members finally show expressions of sudden realization.

What followed was astonishment, shock, and amazement.

They exclaimed – "This works?!"

"So that's why we threw away the 'Aura Sash,' it was to prevent Giant Coal Mountain from getting it! I get it now!"

"You don't know anything! How can you tell what item your opponent's Pokémon is holding?"

"To rashly acquire an opponent's item will either waste time and result in a useless item, or it will backfire and hinder your own progress."

"To be honest, I was already impressed by that precise judgment of gravity and time, not to mention the way he exchanged items later."

"How many people can make good use of their opponent's items?"

"Give your opponent your own tools, and then use their tools. Coach Jinghe gave us a forehand and backhand lesson today!"

Do you even understand the value of being called a 'tactical master'?

no doubt.

This battle wasn't based on any fixed tactics or routines; it's something most people couldn't learn.

The events that just happened in the blink of an eye have once again garnered Jinghe a large number of fans.

I just don't know if they're a true fan or a fan who's actually a hater.

"Magazine?" the referee prompted.

Only after being reminded by the referee did Magua come to his senses from what had just happened.

To be honest, he was convinced.

He believed that the tactics he designed and the arrangements he made for them were brilliant enough.

Unexpectedly, Teacher Jinghe's impromptu performance taught him a valuable lesson.

Excellent tactics and command can indeed turn the tide of battle.

So this is what Dan Di meant when he said that you can learn something by fighting against Teacher Jing He. Ma Gua thought to himself.

He still had one last piece of giant armor with tortoise feet, which was equipped with a "careful scarf".

However, against a Rotom who has received a significant boost in both attack and defense, it is clear that it cannot cause much of a stir.

"The winner is Jing He!!"

When the giant turtle-footed armored figure fell, the referee immediately made a call.

"Loto."

A nervous Rotom immediately crawled out of the washing machine, looking terrified.

Even it couldn't believe that a photographer like itself could accomplish the feat of "shooting three in a row".

It's clearly just a "weakling".
Jinghe, with Rotom who was trembling slightly, came to the center of the field and shook hands with Magua.

"Thank you, Teacher Jinghe. The exciting battle taught me a lot," Magua said sincerely.

"It's just luck, nothing more than luck," Jing He said with a smile.

luck?

Magua's expression was strange.

He suspected that Teacher Jinghe's words had a hidden meaning, and he had evidence to support his suspicions.

After his giant coal mountain was paralyzed, he succeeded in four consecutive operations. If we're talking about luck, then luck was on his side, wasn't it?

But he didn't know that Jinghe's sigh came from the bottom of his heart.

because
If Rotom's final water cannon shot misses after the gravitational field disappears, all the previous efforts of the commanders will be in vain.

A water cannon with an 80% hit rate managed to hit its target—what else could that be but luck?
