Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 329 Though small in stature, his brute strength surpasses that of ordinary people.
The three rounds of tag team battles didn't cause Link much trouble; in fact, it was his area of ​​expertise.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and news of the former Kanto region champion, a Contest Supernova, and a rookie trainer from Moorland passing the preliminary tournament spread like wildfire.

The extra attention gave him and his Pokémon a taste of being a big star, but as a player in a battle, it was easy for others to interfere with his daily training.

Training sessions that are too noisy can easily injure the audience...

So in the end, he simply rode a Dragonite and flew to Sootopolis City, which is located in a crater to the northwest.

It's currently the off-season for tourism here, which is perfect for them to prepare for the upcoming event in a relaxed and enjoyable way.

After reaching the round of 32, every match was a 66-player singles game.

The arena has four types of terrain: grass, rock, water, and ice. The environment for each match is determined by a roulette wheel.

When a trainer has three Pokémon that are unable to battle, there will be a short break to repair them and switch to another random battleground.

Even in regular matches, you have to consider the environment... This is a type of experience I've never had in ranked matches before. However, when you're randomly assigned to a tournament venue in a free-for-all, the venue itself can also interfere with the match.

Incidentally, both teams need to declare their Pokémon lineups before the battle, while the venue is randomly selected before the battle begins.

Therefore, it is also very important for trainers to be able to bring out the strength of their team in unknown environments.

As for Link's opponent in the final round of the tournament...

"The schedule should be out by now, let's go to the Pokémon Center and take a look."

"Fu~"

Disguised by the Fiery Fox, the human and the fox arrived at the Pokémon Center lobby and saw the schedule for the Final Tournament.

Region A: Link-Asa; Kamishiro-Reiji...

Division B: Xiaoyao-Kawu...

Division C: Ye Yue - Xiao Feng...

Division D: Xiaoyou - Full Charge...

"This schedule is really... what a pity. I was hoping to see the fathead fish and the flightless fish have a big battle."

Link shook his head regretfully, but since Xiaoyao and he were from neighboring regions, she wouldn't have the chance to meet Xiaoyou in the finals.

The fire fox nodded. That's right, Xiaoyao is doomed to lose if she encounters them.

After learning their opponent for tomorrow, they confirmed their lineup for the first match:

Fiery Fox (Escape Button) - Water Plum (Forced Training Device) - Darkrai (Resurrection Seed) - First-line Grimmsnarl (Well Mask) - Porygon (Evolution Stone) - Arcanine (Growlithe Scarf)

Since everyone knows that Aysa is a Fire-type trainer, it's only natural to target her specifically; that's what respect is all about...

……

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the scene of Link's battle against Aysa the following morning.

Two months later, the trainers reunited and both had grown in their own ways.

The screen displays a randomly selected battlefield—rocks.

The uneven terrain, resembling a mountain, was thus revealed.

At the referee's signal, both players simultaneously sent out their starting Pokémon.

"Go, Houndoom!"

"Egui Peng, prepare for battle."

The vicious dog, as if it were the Grim Reaper, and the mysterious creature that had become a spirit of tangerines, had already clashed upon their first appearance.

The former attempts to gain an advantage by "intimidating" its opponent with its appearance and barking, but the defiant Egui Pong instead becomes more determined to fight.

At this time, the latter had not yet put on the well mask and was still a Grass-type Pokémon.

Fire vs. Grass, this round doesn't seem too suspenseful...

But Aysa subconsciously became alert after noticing that Houndoom was slightly excited and lively: "Houndoom, 'Taunt' it!" Link is a dirty guy, and his Grass-type moves are all kinds of troublesome. To fight against him, you have to ban his ever-changing moves first.

But, contrary to its usual behavior, the Evil Phantom suddenly charged straight at Houndoom, which was "provoking" it, and then...

"Lower body kick!"
Who would have thought that this petite elf possessed extraordinary power?

Even its sturdy chassis couldn't keep it steady. The Houndoom, which was taunting, was immediately kicked down by the monstrous creature, and its limbs were momentarily immobilized.

Under normal circumstances, the indomitable Grimmsnarl could easily eliminate a fragile creature like Houndoom with just one strike. However, in the life-or-death battle where it fought alongside Aysa against Groudon, it absorbed the life energy of the Life Orb and spread it throughout Hoenn via the Leyline, causing its strength to advance by leaps and bounds!

Without waiting for its trainer's instructions, it was already prepared to fight back.

The flames inside his body burned fiercely, raising his body temperature to thousands of degrees, and deadly heat began to spread outward from the body as the center.

"Purgatory!"

In the blink of an eye, Houndoom unleashed roaring flames like a volcanic eruption!
But then, Egui Peng summoned a spear made of vines, using it as a fulcrum to leap into the air before the flames could spread outwards.

Just as Houndoom was about to change its flame pattern from spreading to clustering, having missed a golden opportunity with its opponent right in front of it, a dark shadow appeared before it.

A massive rock materialized from the Evil Spirit in mid-air and slammed down with all its might onto Houndoom, who was still lying on the ground, unable to move after being kicked down.

"Rock Blockade"!
This time, Houndoom was indeed knocked unconscious and truly lost its ability to fight...

"Wow, that's incredibly strong!?"

Despite her petite appearance, she possesses extraordinary strength!

There are such powerful physical attackers among Grass-type Pokémon!
"Bonnie~"

Egui Peng casually smashed the rocks with his vines, "scattering water chestnuts" in Asha's half of the field.

Aysa didn't have time to think further; she had to send out the next elf immediately.

Agile, nimble, and incredibly strong, this Grass-type Pokémon can use Fighting and Rock-type moves...

Once she calmed down, she immediately analyzed which Pokémon she should send onto the field next: "Sneaker, it's up to you!"

Although the Lava Snail, with its Fire/Rock attribute, is weak to Rock, its speed is so slow that it could never catch up with its opponent.

However, its physical defense is strong enough, with both "Lava Armor" and "Flame Body" providing excellent protection.

With the addition of spells like "spells," "yawns," and "self-regeneration," the monster should be able to be disrupted or even forced back!
Link: "..."

Fire Fox: "..."

Egui Pong: "..."

To be honest, it's kind of embarrassing; bullying noobs is really boring.

Link prefers to challenge himself against opponents who are evenly matched or even far stronger than himself.

Unfortunately, Aysa and most trainers cannot meet this requirement.

"So you still haven't practiced your spatial reasoning skills," he sighed helplessly.

"I've already started training, but it's too late!" Asha argued, blushing, as if she had realized the seriousness of the problem. "I'll definitely shine in the doubles tournament you're hosting next year!"

She has started training Candle Spirit and Charcoal Servant, but how could they possibly grow to the point of being able to fight Link in just two months?

Link thought to himself, "That's true. Then I'll look forward to your performance."

The words have not yet fallen.

Egui Pong put on the well mask.

Too crystalline!
　I've been feeling a bit down lately, so I still need to stick to a regular update schedule.

　　Tonight, there will be level 11 to 13 winds in Beijing. I'll go out first to prepare supplies and walk the dog. The second update might be late, or there might not be any for today.
