Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 47: Battle! Hall Master Xiaosong!
Regardless of whether it was a Z move or not, Link doubted that he would be able to actually use it unless he raised his Constitution to 15 or even higher.

Later, he lent the Sacred Plan to A Liu to see if he could use it. However, the badge that had been shining in his hand turned darker than a black body as soon as it reached the latter's hand.

It can be preliminarily determined that this thing is bound to him, after all, it is a product of the simulator.

How to improve physical fitness is a big problem, but in the simulator's mall he saw attribute +2 equipment from the same series as [Learning Crystal] and planned to save some money to buy a complete set and use them in rotation according to needs.

After resting for a while, Link, who had further proved his value as a fire-attribute trainer, resumed teaching.

I successfully earned more than 6,000 yuan in a day. Even if the purchasing power of Pokémon in this world is roughly equal to that of Japanese yen, it is still more than 300 yuan. I can take more odd jobs like this when I have free time in the future.

Later, A Liu even invited him to go to the Harsh Mountain on Blowing Fire Island in two days to see those powerful wild fire-attribute elves with his own eyes...

A busy and surprising day came to an end, and tonight's assault team was also wiped out.

During the break, Link confirmed the information about the Z move with the elves, and his guess was confirmed. At the same time, he learned that if his super powers improved, his physical strength would not be completely consumed.

The priorities of emotion, energy, mental strength, and physical strength are arranged in descending order.

"One more reason to work hard on your super powers. Let's do some emergency training after we challenge the Snow Peak Gym."

"Fu!"

Even the Fire Fox wanted to use the move that stunned the Litten yesterday as soon as possible.

Early that morning, a man and a fox walked on the snow to the Snow Peak Gym. After proving Link's ability with the Rock Badge of the Hoenn region, they began to challenge the gym owner.

※The picture shows the lineup 3 years later.

Coincidentally, the 13-year-old gym leader of Xuefeng Gym, Xiaosong, is similar to Dujuan and is also a student from the Trainer School.

Dressed in a blue and white women's uniform, she is full of energy and vigor, and is called "the girl of diamond stardust" by everyone.

It sounds like she is the female disciple of a certain Aquarius Gold Saint...

"Want to challenge me, Xiaosong? Sure! I'm just waiting for a strong one.

"But I'm also very strong, okay?
"Whether it's Pokémon, fashion, or love, whatever you do, be enthusiastic!
"That's all I have to say. I'll show you how powerful I am. Be prepared!"

"Go, snow monster!"

"Firecat, prepare to fight."

Yes, this is Link's first singles battle since coming to this world... Mainly because doubles are not as popular in the Sinnoh region as in Hoenn, and there are no gym challenges that offer doubles mode.

Singles matches are different from doubles matches that emphasize extreme joint offense. They emphasize the ability of joint defense, rotation, first read and counter-first read.

When fighting alone, the individual abilities of the elves become more critical, and it is difficult to rely on tactics like in a doubles match. Therefore, Link did not challenge the highest difficulty - his current level of training is not enough to fight against the gym owner's 6 main forces alone.

The Pokémons of both teams took to the field. As soon as the Snow Hat Monster appeared from the Poké Ball, it naturally attracted the abundant cold energy in the gym, causing light snow to fall all over the field.

When it snows, the defense capabilities of ice-attribute elves will be enhanced, and even the [Cold Rock] hanging on the neck of the Snow Hat Monster will appear harder.

"You're actually going to start with the weather?" Link was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Xiaosong's level as a trainer was much more reliable than Du Juan, who was a year older than her. "Meow!"

The flaming cat didn't take it seriously. Although he was a male cat, he usually spoke in a low voice, but now he was acting out of character and threatening with a fierce momentum.

Link would not translate the specific words this time. He was more curious about how the classic routines in the game would be expressed in reality.
"Li?!"

The strength of the Snow Hat Monster is not much beyond that of the Litten. As a grass + ice attribute, it was immediately frightened by the opponent's momentum and flinched.

Although Mega Blizzard King is unexpectedly strong, it is hard to describe Blizzard King and Snow Hat Monster. They can be said to be the epitome of grass and ice attribute poison points.

It is slow and fragile. It can create weather conditions if it has life, but it can't deal damage if it doesn't. It can't even handle one fire move from the opponent with both lives!
"Don't be afraid! Snow Hat Monster, show your might! Release the "White Mist"!"

It's true that the Snow Hat monster is extremely fragile, and the fact that the gym leader can't rotate in the gym battle further magnifies this fatal flaw. But as long as you activate "White Mist" to hide your body, you can use "Water Wave" to sneak attack the opponent's Fire attribute Pokémon!

"High-five surprise attack." Link said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Litten meowed again and made a move to spray flames at the Snow Hat Monster.

The latter was about to release "White Mist" when he subconsciously interrupted the move and tried to dodge. After dodging, he found that his opponent did not release any flames at all...

In reality, the "High Five Surprise Attack" move is not a rule-based skill that will force Arceus to take a slap and stop for a round even if he comes, and it won't even cause the slightest damage.

Rather than being a move, it is more of a sumo technique derived from the so-called "cat trick."

※This is also the reason why most cats in the game can learn the "High Five Surprise Attack".

In sumo wrestling matches, when both sides are highly focused, one side will attract the other's attention by initiating actions and clapping in front of the other side to disrupt the other side's attention, causing the other side to make wrong judgments or even enter a state of momentary paralysis.

This tactic takes advantage of the organism's freezing response when faced with unexpected situations, and individuals with poor psychological qualities are more susceptible to it.

In other words, the essence of the "high-five surprise attack" is actually a feint.

However, when used in reality it appears very stiff - when spoken by a trainer it often loses its effect, and powerful Pokémon can be trained to become completely immune.

"The effect is better than expected, but..."

Link frowned. Litten's "High-Five Surprise Attack" that combined its "Intimidation" characteristics and attributes did work, but this should really be integrated into the Pokémon's fighting instincts and intuition rather than a "move" that required the trainer's prompts.

At the same time, this also means that in many cases, the opponent will be directly immune to "High Five Attack", and it cannot be used as a brainless skill that is trustworthy and can allocate tactical resources. Sometimes, even using it will create opportunities for the opponent to attack.

""spark"."

Instead of choosing "Flame Fang", which is theoretically the best solution but would actually give the opponent time to react and waste time during the charge, Link directly let Litten use "Spark", which has less power but is faster.

There was no need for the trainer to say much, as Litten understood the hint and spurted out a laser-like line of fire, accurately hitting the opponent who was tricked by the fake move.

"The Snow Hat Monster has lost its ability to fight," the referee announced mercilessly, as if he had seen this scene for the umpteenth time.
