Chapter 51 The Teaching Bureau (3 words, please vote with monthly tickets!)

Loan vs. match.

Using Pokémon that are not your own to battle is called a rental battle.

This is a crucial part of the test for trainers.

After all, it's difficult to command other people's Pokémon, and their abilities and moves are not clear. This greatly tests the trainer's understanding of the Pokémon and their ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

In fact, rental battles are quite common in the Pokémon world.

Battle Factory, Battle Tent, and Battle Tower all have the same or similar modes.

Mitra, one of the main characters in the "Emerald" special episode, is a master of this skill, boasting a terrifying record of 100 consecutive wins.

It's not just trainers; League rangers also utilize the power of wild Pokémon in a similar way.

Armored Bird

[Type: Steel, Flying]

[Characteristics: Sharp eyes]

[Mastered moves: Wing Attack, Slash, Steel Wing, Eye for an Eye, Drill Peck, Metallic Sound, Spikes, Pounce, Stealth Rock, Blow Away, Substitute, Roost, Taunt, Iron Defense, Protect, Toxic.]

[Feelings: Excited, nervous (Would I get beaten up if I really did that?)]

[Status: Excellent (It is born for battle at this moment)]

[Friendship Level: 50 (We've at least taken a bath together)]

This is the armored bird illustration that Jinghe has seen.

It has to be said that Daigo has been trained really well, especially his dense array of moves, which showcase his financial resources.

In fact, Skarmory had already mastered some of the moves in Jinghe's tactics and was quite proficient with them; it just added a few more later.

This is one of the reasons why he dared to take on the next battle.

While Adu was helping the pterosaur recover, he also gave the archea a short, one-hour intensive training session.

This gave both sides a basic understanding of tactics.

It will be relatively easier to coordinate later.

of course.

Their teamwork is definitely incomparable to that of Daigo and Skarmory.

However, Adu and the fossil pterosaur were not very compatible.

Moreover, Aerodactyl was just defeated, and even if it recovers, it won't be able to reach its optimal state in just one hour without going through a Pokémon Center.

Moreover, Skarmory also has attribute advantages.

After all.

'The advantage is with me.'

Steven and his MetalGreymon sat down in the spot where Jinghe had been sitting. Without any hesitation, Steven grabbed a handful of popcorn from Gastly's popcorn bucket and shared some with MetalGreymon.

Click click click——

"Hmm? This popcorn tastes like sunflower seeds."

"Kou Jie!"

stare!
Gastly stared at the popcorn in Steven's hand, its expression unfriendly.

But considering that he is Jinghe's student.

Let's forgive him this time.

It's definitely not because the metal monster is looking at it.

"By the way, do you think Teacher Jinghe can win?" Daigo asked.

“Ghosts shook its head.

That's not right.

Daigo's lips twitched.

"However, given Mr. Jinghe's personality, he rarely does things he's not sure about."

"Kou Jie~~"

This is true.

Then they saw Jinghe walk into the field and hold up one finger to them.

I will only demonstrate once.

Daigo's expression immediately turned serious.

He always believed that Jinghe's strength was more than what he showed, and this feeling became increasingly clear after he came into contact with Jinghe.

Especially after he gave himself that Skarmory tactics manual.

Teacher Jinghe, just how well do you know what you're hiding?
On the field.

After calming down the pterosaur, Adu narrowed his eyes, his expression gradually becoming serious.

A person who can earn such high praise from Genji is definitely not simple.

Although his chemistry with the fossil pterosaur wasn't quite there yet, it was definitely better than the Skarmory that Jinghe borrowed from Daigo.

Jinghe must have seen the battle between Aerodactyl and MetalGreymon, and he even dared to borrow someone else's Pokémon to fight, which shows that he is very confident.

The original purpose of this battle was to treat Aerodactyl, but Lance, the trainer, gradually became excited.

He longed to battle with powerful trainers, whether it was Steven or Jinghe, they were all formidable opponents who required his full concentration.

"Ka~~"

The armored bird flapped its wings, its eyes sharp.

"rest assured."

Jinghe gently touched its metallic wings.

"If you can't beat them, just admit defeat. If you lose, it's my problem; if you win, it's your achievement. Don't feel pressured, just play freely."

"Crack!!"

The armored bird's approval of Jinghe increased.

"start!"

At the command given by Daigo, who was acting as the referee, Jinghe and Adu both became serious.

"Fossil Pteranodon, Stone Attack!"

Adu lifted his cloak, waved his hand, and made a resounding thud.

They took the initiative, but unlike before, they didn't start with "Dragon Dance".

Have you changed your tactics?

But no matter how it changes, it's all the same.

"Skunkloo, use Stealth Rock to block!"

Then you can see that the fossil pterosaur's body has an earthy sheen, and sharp rocks seem to grow out of it.

With a sudden flap of its wings, they transformed into sharp blades that shot towards the armored bird.

At the same time, the armored bird's eyes glowed yellow, and rocks appeared out of thin air, suspended in mid-air. However, these rocks quickly disappeared as if they had been erased.

However, the rocks struck by the fossil pterosaur's "sharp rock attack" collided with these invisible rocks, producing a series of cracking sounds.

Using "Invisible Rock" as a defense?
Adu was somewhat surprised.

However, many sharp stones still pierced through the invisible rocks and shot towards the armored bird.

"Take it by force, use 'Iron Wall'!"

Jinghe's voice was very calm.

This kept the armored bird very calm.

Its flapping wings folded together, deflecting the incoming sharp stones, while its body gleamed with a shimmering metallic sheen. Iron Wall, greatly enhancing the Pokémon's physical defense.

This is a significant boost for Skarmory, which already excels in physical defense, but it puts pressure on Aerodactyl, which is good at physical attacks.

"Fossil Pteranodon, close range, Thunder Fang!"

"Toxic!"

In terms of speed, the Skarmory is far inferior to the Pteranodon, but at this point, the "stealth rock" that was laid out earlier played a certain role in hindering its movement.

Because it was a 1v1 match, the "sprinkle nails and blow away" tactic couldn't be used effectively.

However, "scattering nails and blowing away" is a tactic used in turn-based games, and it still differs considerably from reality.

You can borrow from it, but you can't copy it verbatim.

Just like this time, Jinghe cleverly used "invisible rocks" to both block some of the sharp rocks and limit the speed of the fossil pterosaur to a certain extent.

Bang! !

呲——

Golden lightning exploded on the Skarmory's body, causing considerable damage.

However, the potent toxins also successfully adhered to the fossil pterosaur, causing its cheeks to turn purple.

I've been poisoned!

Adu's face darkened.

They knew they had to act quickly.

He immediately shouted, "Fossil Pteranodon, Flame Fang!"

Previously, the Metal Monster gained the advantage by attacking aggressively at close range, but this time, the Aerodactyl's aggressive attack gives it the upper hand.

"Skaven, Stand!"

boom! !

The flames exploded, but what burned away was only the armored bird's feather substitute.

Adu had a vague, bad feeling.

The purple tinge on the fossil pterosaur's body became more and more obvious.

But the more this is the case, the less you should rush, otherwise you'll lose your composure first.

"Fossil pterosaur, ultrasound."

"provocative!"

Daigo, standing to the side, widened his eyes. "Teacher 'read' Watari first?"

Luck? Coincidence? Or was it truly 'reading first'?
The fossil pterosaur's "ultrasound" was forcibly interrupted, and its eyes began to turn red.

However, A-Du is A-Du after all. He didn't panic and reacted extremely quickly, soon changing his move: "Fossil Aerodactyl, Dragon Breath!"

Transforming "ultrasound" into "dragon's breath"?
As expected of A-Du.

Jinghe sighed inwardly.

The pterosaurs' quick changes of tactics indicate that their teamwork was rapidly improving.

"Armored Bird, hold on!"

"Crack!!"

A transparent, emerald-green barrier emerged.

Bang! !

Using the "Protect" move repeatedly will significantly reduce the success rate, so even though it is blocked, the Aerodactyl must continue its fierce attack.

"Fire Fang!"

"Iron wall!"

Taking another hit from a pterosaur is a considerable burden for the archea.

However, because of the two instances of "armor stacking" and the fact that neither of them were Aerodactyl's STAB moves, Skarmory was not necessarily defeated.

"Fossilized Pterosaur, Thunder Fang!"

"Armored Bird, hold on!"

A-Du: "."

Whether to hold or not, adhere to the basic principle of "poison, defense, and substitution," and the enemy base will explode directly.

Gastly, standing nearby, blocked its eyes.

Don't dare to look.

But I still left myself a crack.

His eyes shone brightly through the slit.

This is the charm of "Poison Guardian".

Jinghe is demonstrating it to me!

Daigo, standing next to him, also wore a "hiss" expression, his face showing an indescribable complexity, but the sharp glint in his eyes was unmistakable.

If Jinghe had only opened a crack in the door to a "new world" for him before...

So this time, we'll just kick him out!
At this moment, the "venom" gradually took effect, and the fossil pterosaur's strength was greatly reduced, showing signs of about to get out of control.

"Aerodramus, hang in there! Skarmory isn't doing well either, use 'Flame Fang' one more time to finish him off!"

Adu was completely focused, and a faint green light emanated from his body.

"Roar!!"

The fossil pterosaur roared, and surprisingly, it stopped its out-of-control behavior.

It bared its menacing fangs, wreathed in flames, and pounced on the armored bird.

"Haqiu."

Jing He's calm voice came through.

Yu, Yuqi?
Crit!

Gastly and Steven could almost hear the shockwaves in Aerodactyl and Lance's hearts.

The Skarmory quickly recovers its strength after landing.

Relying on its two layers of armor, it once again withstood the attack of the fossil pterosaur.

Can.
"Kou Jie!"

It's so dirty, so cruel, but I love it!
Gastly was extremely excited.

After another round of holding the iron wall, the fossil pterosaur was on the verge of collapse and its stamina was almost depleted.

"Sigh," Jing He sighed, "It's best not to go too far."

"Armored Bird, one last 'pounce,' finish it off!"

The stronger the defense, the higher the attack damage.

The Skarmory has already stacked "Iron Wall" three times, making its physical defense capabilities almost maxed out.

Bang! !

The fossil pterosaur crashed heavily to the ground, completely losing its ability to fight!

The greatest respect and dignity is to prevent it from being poisoned by the "highly toxic" substance.

Jinghe, by using Skarmory, skillfully combined the "Poison Defense Substitute" tactic with the "Iron Wall Pounce Roost" tactic, and even used some of the "Spike Spread and Blow Away" techniques, which can be described as a very dedicated "teaching".

Don't know why.

After his defeat, A-du breathed a long sigh of relief.
