Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 806 The Finals! Jing He VS Sakaki!

"Just received news!"

Since no one recognized the Pokémon Porygon Type B, the commentator obtained information about the Pokémon through their headset and immediately released it.

"Porygon Type 2, a Normal-type virtual Pokémon, is the evolved form of Porygon. It is said to be an evolved form of an artificial intelligence Pokémon!"

Artificial intelligence Pokémon?
That is
Is this a Pokémon created by humans?
It's one thing if it's man-made.
It can even evolve?!
Information about Porygon, Porygon Type B, and Porygon Type 2—these Pokémon are so active online that Team Rocket can't hide them no matter what they try; the League will always find out.

Furthermore, with the Rockets' current transformation, the Rockets and the league have entered a special "honeymoon period," so there's no need to hide this information anymore.

more importantly.
Because of its powerful abilities, Team Rocket's research team has figured out a way to breed Porygon, even though it is a genderless, artificial Pokémon.

And Sakaki's Porygon Type 2 is one of the descendants of the original Porygon Type B!

As the audience watched the evolutionary chain of Porygon, Porygon 2, and even Porygon B displayed on the big screen, they immediately felt like they had learned something new.

"Man-made Pokémon can evolve; Pokémon is truly amazing."

"Wait, it's one thing that Porygon needs special 'upgrade data' to evolve into Porygon2, but how come Porygon2's evolution into the final PorygonB requires... requires..."

"Need 'Jinghe Teacher's Psychological Counseling'?!"

"What kind of evolution conditions are these? It requires 'psychological counseling' from Teacher Jinghe? Are the conditions really that harsh?"

"Huh? Isn't Teacher Jinghe right here on the field?"

No wonder they were dumbfounded.

I've seen bizarre evolution conditions, such as needing to land a certain number of critical hits or use a certain number of moves, but this is the first time I've seen one that requires so-called "psychological counseling" from a specific person.

In particular, this specific person is currently on the field.

Jinghe's expression was somewhat strange when she saw the information on the screen.

The birth of the first Polygon B type was indeed related to him, but
Could it be that the Rockets still haven't figured out the "suspicious patch" needed for Porygon2 to evolve into PorygonB?

However, compared to the final evolved form Porygon Type B, it is actually the unevolved Porygon Type 2, which is stronger.

As the audience gained a better understanding of Polygon 2, and the referee confirmed that both sides were ready, he immediately waved his flag and announced:

"The battle begins!"

The final round of the Pokémon World Masters Championship has officially begun!

Jinghe and Banmu immediately put aside their own thoughts and directed the battle.

As soon as it started, a large cloud of dust rose up in the venue, with yellow sand rolling in and obscuring the view.

"Polygon, Trick Room!" Giovanni was unaffected by Tyranitar's sandstorm and was the first to give the order.

hum-

Despite its seemingly adorable appearance, the Polygon Beast Type 2 was surprisingly fast. Upon receiving the command, it immediately spread out a transparent and eerie barrier centered on itself, instantly filling the entire area.

At the same time, a peculiar wave emanated from Porygon2, enhancing its special attack ability.

Features, download!

[Download: When the opponent's defense is lower than their special defense, your own physical attack increases by one stage; when the opponent's defense is higher than their special defense, your own special attack increases by one stage!]

Tyranitar's physical defense is clearly stronger than its physical defense.

That's not the most important thing; the most important thing is...
Magic space!

When Jinghe heard the first command given by Boss Sakaki and saw the Trick Space released by Polygonus II, he sighed softly.

really.

Sandstorm hits deep space!
This is probably the tactic that Boss Sakaki is planning to "play" today.

With its overall lineup configuration
A perfect match.

Therefore, my first choice of Tyranitar was not very good, and could even be described as quite bad.
Originally, Jinghe's plan was to have Tyranitar test whether Giovanni would use the Sandstorm team, with a similar idea of ​​"if you don't use it, I will."

Unexpectedly, Giovanni started with a spatial attack, and the sandstorm raised by Tyranitar seemed to be setting up Giovanni's plan, thus completing the preparatory work for Giovanni's "sandstorm heavy space" tactic in an instant.

They were at a disadvantage from the start.

"Bangiras, Iron Wall!" Jing He took a deep breath, making numerous plans in his mind, and gave the order.

"Banji!!"

Tyranitar roared with his arms outstretched, his dark green armor rubbing against the surrounding sand with a "rustling" sound. Perhaps it was the metallic sheen that shone on Tyranitar's body, making him appear extremely heavy.

"An Iron Wall start? When did Coach Jinghe start playing so conservatively?"

"Trading an Iron Wall for a Magic Space? That doesn't seem like a good deal."

Sakaki gave Jinghe and Benjilas a half-smile.

Others didn't know why Jinghe made that choice, but he had a pretty good idea.

Whether it's Porygon Type 2 or Porygon Type B, they are actually somewhat similar to Rockruff, and they excel at defensive counter-attacks.

Moreover, in special circumstances, Porygon Type 2 can be even more troublesome than Flower Rock Monster.

The moves Texture and Texture 2 mean that you can't just launch a strong attack on Porygon 2. Otherwise, if you combine Texture and Texture 2, you can immediately gain an advantage over Tyranitar.

Furthermore, Porygon 2 can also master the trick of deception. As long as it is not defeated in one hit, the damage dealt by Porygon 2's counterattack should not be underestimated.

As for why it couldn't instantly kill the seemingly fragile Porygon2, which hadn't even evolved to its final form.
That's because Jinghe is certain that the Porygon 2 that Boss Sakaki is carrying is an "Evolution Stone".

[Evolution Stone: If the Pokémon holding this item still exists in its evolved form, its Physical Defense and Special Defense will be increased by 50%!]

Combined with the technique of self-regeneration
The Polygon II can be described as a "tank beast"!
Therefore, although it is not as good as many other Pokémon as a Trick Room setter, its overall quality is quite good due to a combination of factors.

and so.

Rather than testing the waters, Jinghe decisively chose to strengthen Tyranitar with Iron Wall.

A tank-type opponent?
Then be even more "tank-like" than the opponent!
Of course, these are "games" between the two of them, which others cannot understand. Not to mention ordinary viewers, even people like Cynthia would find it difficult to understand at a glance if they lack knowledge about Porygon2.

However, Jinghe's lack of attack does not mean that Sakaki will allow Tyranitar to be strengthened.

Once the Trick Space is completed, Porygon Type 2 has gained a slight advantage in speed.

"Polygon, lock on!"

In the eyes of the Polymorph 2, countless data-like fluctuations appeared. After high-speed analysis and calculation by artificial intelligence, the location of Tyranitar was locked.

This is tantamount to forcing Jinghe to follow Banjilas.

Lock-on moves may seem useless, but they significantly increase the accuracy of moves, making them the best support for those high-power but low-accuracy moves.

If Bangilas doesn't make a move, then...
It will be met with a frenzied attack from the Polygon 2.

After all, Iron Defense strengthens Tyranitar's physical defense, while Porygon2 is better at special attack, and the "Download" ability previously strengthened special attack as well.

Polygon Type 2: I excel at defense, but I also know a little about offense.

Jinghe smiled.

This was the first time he'd encountered someone so eager to unleash a furious attack from our Tyranitar.

In that case
"Bangiras, as they wish, pounce!"

"Banji!"

Riding the sandstorm, Tyranitar's massive body displayed a speed that seemed disproportionate to its size, rushing towards Polygonum II while carrying a torrent of sand.

Iron Wall, Charge!
It turned out to be the case.

Many viewers had a sudden realization when they saw Tyranitar pounce on Porygon2.

No wonder Teacher Jinghe had Tyranitar use Iron Defense to strengthen its physical attack first, instead of using moves like Dragon Dance or Swords Dance.

Sakaki's eyes flashed.

Using defensive moves to pounce can, to some extent, avoid deceptive counterattacks based on physical attacks.

It must be said that Jinghe's choice and judgment were impeccable, even to Sakaki.

But
"Texture!"

hum-

A surge of superpower energy suddenly reappeared on Polygon Type 2, and patterns of superpower energy rippled across its balloon-like body.
Moves, textures!
Porygon Type 2's type changed from Normal to Psychic!

boom! !

Tyranitar's pounce sent Porygon2 flying, but Porygon2 used its move Trick Room to change its type to Psychic, thanks to its move Trick Room!

The Normal type, which was originally twice as weak to Fighting, is now twice as resistant to Fighting as the Psychic type, which reduces the power of the attack by almost three-quarters.

Furthermore, the damage caused by the "Evolution Stone" carried by Porygon 2 was clearly not fatal.

But this was the moment that Ke Jinghe had been waiting for.

"Tyranitar, pursue maliciously!" Jing He shouted almost immediately after Tyranitar knocked Porygon2 away.

"Banji!!"

Tyranitar roared and charged at Porygon2 once more.

Since Porygon Type 2 can change its own attribute through textures and Texture 2 moves, then guide it to change to the attribute you want it to change to.

A surge of dark energy erupted from Tyranitar's body, transforming into a dense black light that resembled a hideous demonic face, enveloping Porygon2.

Sakaki's expression changed slightly as he realized that he had unknowingly fallen into Jing He's rhythm. So he made a quick decision.

"Come back, Polygonus Type 2."

The Poké Ball in his hand emitted a red light.

“Bangilas!” Jing He’s eyes flashed.

"Banji!"

Suddenly, Tyranitar quickened his pace, taking a single step to stand in front of Polygonus 2 and slamming his palm down.

boom--

Porygon Type 2 doesn't seem to have been taken back by the Poké Ball; rather, it looks like it was slapped back by Tyranitar.

For a moment, neither the commentators nor the referees could quite tell whether the Polygon II had been recalled after losing its combat capabilities, or whether it had been replaced.
but.

During this brief pause, the audience and commentator, with the professional's (Dandi) speculative explanation, understood what had just happened and the reasons behind Teacher Jinghe's various choices.

"Texture? So there's such a technique."

"It seems that Teacher Jinghe really knows Porygon."

“'Evolution Stone'? I see. No wonder they chose Porygon2 instead of its final evolution.”

"By the way, has that Porygon Type 2 lost its combat ability?"

Why did Tyranitar's last attack suddenly become so fast?

Because the Dark-type energy briefly tore open the Trick Room's restraints on Tyranitar, Tyranitar's final attack was so fast.

As for whether Polygonum II lost its combat capability as a result...
The answer is not.

However, given the current state of Porygon Type 2, even if it mastered the Self-Regeneration technique, it wouldn't have the chance to use it again upon reappearing, and Jinghe certainly wouldn't give it that opportunity.

Sakaki glanced at Jinghe and threw out a second Poké Ball.

"Mr. Giovanni's second Pokémon is—the Ground-type Pokémon, Marowak!!"

Gara gara?

Jing He squinted, her gaze immediately falling on the bone club that Gala Gala was spinning in her hand.

Thick bones!
An item exclusive to the Pokémon Marowak; when held, its attack power is doubled!
Marowak's slow speed is its weakness, but when paired with Trick Room and "Steel Bones", Marowak becomes an excellent main force in the "Sandstorm Trick Room" tactic.

Jinghe used Alolan Marowak in many Trick Room team tactics. The exclusive item "Roughbone" provides a much stronger boost than Life Orb, and it also has the "Lightning Rod" ability and Ghost type, making it immune to all three types, which makes it very easy to form a defensive strategy.

While the regular Marowak might not be as good as its Alolan form in terms of type synergy,
It is definitely more suitable for "sandstorm heavy space teams".

just now.

Space and sandstorms, both are present!

"Crackling, bone boomerang!"

Although Giovanni replaced the Pokémon, he did so very quickly, and because of Trick Room, Marowak did not completely lose the initiative.

"Gurgle!!"

With its feet gripping the ground, Crackle Crack exerted its full power, and the thick white bones, carrying a heavy layer of ground-type energy, spun towards Tyranitar.

This is almost equivalent to an "enhanced" version of the Dragon Arrow.

"Tyranitar, watch closely." Jing He wasn't in a hurry to let Tyranitar attack, partly because it lacked speed in Trick Room, and partly because...
boom--

Despite Tyranitar's best efforts to dodge, the bone boomerang still struck it.

It made a sound as if something was striking metal.

The previous iron wall proved effective this time.

Also.

After being hit by a bone boomerang, Tyranitar's momentum surged, and the already swirling sandstorm became even more rampant.

"Vulnerability Insurance" triggered!

This is also why Jinghe initially chose to strengthen Iron Defense instead of Physical Attack. Tyranitar, which has many weaknesses and carries Weakness Policy, will eventually be able to gain a significant boost in Physical Attack with the Weakness Policy item.

buzzing-

But the Bone Boomerang is called a boomerang because it is a two-stage attack that spins over Tyranitar's back.

"Shoot it down!"

Jing He, who had previously told Bangiras not to move around, immediately shouted.

"Banji!"

Having anticipated the trajectory of the spinning bone club, Bangiras immediately swung his palm.

boom! ! !
The crunchy "coarse bone" was slapped directly to the ground.

But also at this time...
Marowak, who had already thrown out his bone club earlier, was now right in front of Tyranitar!

Just like with Dragon Arrow, Bone Club, or Dragapult, throwing them doesn't significantly affect a Pokémon's mobility.

It doesn't mean that after the bone club is thrown, Gara Gara has to stand still and wait for the bone club to come back.

So, while Tyranitar was on guard against the bone club, Marowak had already arrived in front of Tyranitar.

"Sacrifice yourself and charge!"

boom! !

With a powerful slam, Crackle slammed its head down onto Tyranitar's body, its skull giving it an extremely hard head.

Characteristic: A hard head!

After knocking Tyranitar away, Gara Gara stepped forward and picked up the "thick bone" that Tyranitar had knocked to the ground.

Seeing this, Jinghe couldn't help but think to herself, no wonder so few people use the slapping move.
In the game, knocking something away is a "god-tier skill" that instantly removes the opponent's item, but in the real world...
If you drop it, just find a way to pick it up.

"Banji!"

Bangiras, who had been thrown into the air, lightly dusted off his chest.

Hey, I don't feel any pain at all!
Jing He rolled her eyes, but didn't stop what she was doing. Taking advantage of the moment while she was picking up the "coarse bones," she immediately said sternly:

"Bangilas—"

"Cliff Sword!"

ka ka ka-

Cracks suddenly appeared in the arena, and the entire stadium began to tremble. Marowak's eyes changed instantly; as a Ground-type Pokémon, it could naturally sense the changes in the earth.

This change horrified it.

It had never experienced such exaggerated fluctuations in the earth's energy before.

Sakaki's expression also changed slightly.

But he didn't panic, nor did he try to defend like others; he chose to...
"Crackling sound, stomp your feet!"

"Gurgle!!"

Upon hearing Sakaki's voice, Gara Gara immediately calmed down and, without saying a word, slammed the bone club into the ground.

next second.

Rumbling--

A massive, fiery red rock pillar rose from the ground, crackling as it was pierced head-on by the magma.

"Here it comes! Teacher Jinghe's Tyranitar's most unreasonable Precipice Sword!"

"This doesn't make sense. How can an ordinary Pokémon use legendary moves?"

"Bangiras: Unreasonable? Do you think my Precipice Sword is ineffective?"

"Is this venue going to be changed?"

rustling-

From the shattered ground, a bone club shot out and struck Tyranitar on the head.

"Banji!!"

Bangilas didn't try to fight back this time because...
Ouch!!

Everyone covered their heads, tears welling up in their eyes.

Jing He's lips twitched slightly.

If Marowak's final stomp hadn't been enhanced by Iron Defense, it probably would have instantly killed Tyranitar.
"Gararar, unable to fight!"

at last.

The first Pokémon to lose its ability to battle has appeared!

The screen dimmed and crackled, and the score changed. Teacher Jinghe took the first point, and enthusiastic cheers erupted in the stadium.

Anyway.

Both Giovanni and Jinghe displayed remarkably "excellent" trainer qualities in their opening performance.
