You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 132 We (referring to the team) are all trying our best to live.
With things having come to this point, Mikey had no intention of letting the Politoed Frog King continue to live, and commanded it to fire another water cannon.

Since its stamina was already insufficient to sustain it for the third water cannon shot, Qingyu didn't try to be greedy and decisively gave the following command:

"Saltstone Giant, hold the line!"

By holding the established barrier, they launched a counterattack and blocked the attack from the Mosquito King.

Meanwhile, the Salt Stone Giant chewed on a leftover meal behind the defensive wall, regaining some of its strength.

As time went by, the Mosquito Coil Frog King's stamina quickly ran out.

And next, facing Wallace's next Pokémon, Milotic, what will Aoba choose...?

"Salted!"

"Hold on!"

"Self-regeneration!"

With its Protect + Regeneration and the terrifying ability to stay in the field provided by Leftovers, as well as the extra protection provided by Light Wall, the Saltstone Giant remains unmoved.

Even in the rain, Milotic's water cannon was not enough to kill him, and in the end, he was worn down by the Salt King.

Under the dual torment of poison and salting, Mikoli's forces were completely routed.

Finally, with the combined efforts of the Goldfish King and Lucky Kappa, they barely managed to defeat the terrifying Salt Stone Giant with a single, well-placed water cannon shot.

After much back and forth, the score is now 4-1.

The Gliscor, which hadn't appeared until now, finally arrived. This Pokémon's weakness was very easy for Wallace's team to exploit.

However, at this point, the remaining forces are no longer capable of dealing with them.

One pair of wings, one mouthful of lightning teeth.

Scorpion King easily brought Qingyu a victory.

[What the heck? Is this still a Pokémon battle? What are they doing here?]

[Stop! This isn't a battle at all!]

[I feel sorry for Mikoto for a second. How did such a nice person end up being matched with Teacher Yu, that great demon king...?]

[This is terrifying! I watched this in the middle of the night and it scared me so much I wet the bed. What should I do?]

Even the live chat couldn't stand it anymore, and many started criticizing Qingyu's tactics as being too underhanded.

Salt Giant is a well-known good guy in the Padina ecosystem, and like Chansey, he is a helpful and enthusiastic Pokémon.

In the hands of the streamer, each one turned into a nightmare.

"Stop criticizing me. Don't you guys even realize how hard my Pokémon work?"

Throughout the entire match, Qingyu's smile never faded for a single second.

"To survive, they struggled until the very last moment, and they didn't let their guard down until victory!"

Although it's easy to lose friends when you're on the losing team, it's really fun to play, especially in situations where there's an information gap.

Leaving aside real-world battles, Pokémon battles are essentially a game of information; only when both sides have symmetrical information can there be a back-and-forth exchange.

As for this battle...

Wallace doesn't understand his own team's Padia Pokémon, but he knows all too well what his Team Rain members are up to!
Having developed the Rain Team for so many years, these Hoenn Rain Team members' landmines are practically open secrets to him.

With that back and forth, they'd be completely crushed.

It is precisely because of this extreme information gap that he was able to win so easily and happily.

However, for Qingyu, being matched with Mikoli was an unexpected situation, and he "lived up to expectations" and won the match by a large margin.

Now that we've assembled this submissive team, how can we not have a good time tonight?

So, Qingyu opened ranked matches again and began his journey to climb the ranks.

[I knew today's lineup was going to be something special just from the host's smile, but I never expected it to be this outrageous...]

[Hey guys in the advanced ball sport category, anyone dare to target Coach Yu?]

[You dare challenge this lineup? A tribute to the legendary king of resilience!]...

Mikoli didn't know how to describe her current mental state.

If I had to say, it would be...

numbness?

If he only lost a match, he wouldn't have much of an emotional reaction.

After all, it's just a game, so it doesn't matter if you lose.

But the problem is...

"Their methods are outrageous!"

If I'm not mistaken, each of the six Pokémon in the opposing team has its own unique skills, and I've only seen a portion of them so far.

That alone was enough to disgust him.

The assault vest is covered in poisonous crystal flowers; when attacked, it sprays poison darts, and if it doesn't get hit, it will fiercely attack others.

The Earth King starts with a yawn, relies on its durability to cast two layers of poison spikes, and can still safely escape.

Of course, if it were only these two, although they would indeed be disgusting, it wouldn't be enough to completely shatter one's mental state.

The key was that salt stone giant he had never seen before!
How can there be such a wicked Pokémon in the world? Salt-cured and highly poisonous, who can withstand that? And it has self-regeneration, which can wear down its opponent to death!

And it also happens to be a perfect counter to my water-attribute specialization...

Thinking of this, Mikoli lost all strength and ability, and silently took a deep breath.

When a person is extremely speechless, they won't even show an angry expression on their face; they will only feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

But then again.

Putting aside the strange lineup that seemed like it was deliberately designed to be unconventional, the opposing team's command ability was genuinely absurd...

He doesn't usually play games much; he only relaxes occasionally after helping Daigo with his official duties.

Even so, I can still easily swim the dragon at the advanced ball level.

With very few exceptions, the main difference between most trainers lies in experience.

Both one's understanding of Pokémon and one's reaction in actual battles are closely related to the battle experience accumulated during growth.

That's why travel becomes such a crucial part of Pokémon trainers' lives.

Pokémon Champions has only been available for a short time.

Even at relatively high levels, such as advanced ball or master ball, most casual players' command abilities are still somewhat inferior to those of true elite trainers.

Therefore, there is no possibility that one can improve their command ability in a short period of time solely through this game.

Therefore, there is only one answer—

Judging from what I just saw, the opponent I'm facing today is definitely a master who is skilled in using poison!

Moreover, most of the Pokémon he used came from the Padina region.

"So, it must be some kind of master from the Parthian region?"

Mikoli muttered to himself.

Come to think of it, Daigo seems to have been in Padia.

It's safe to say that this guy's trip there has absolutely nothing to do with the recent Dragon Attribute Master Tournament; it's highly likely that some rare mineral vein in Padia has attracted him again...

I wish Daigo could meet this "Azure Feather" in person; I can't be the only one suffering!

Mikoli thought to himself, slumping back in his seat and looking up at the sky.

It looks like I'll have to keep working tonight; I definitely won't be able to sleep...

Damn it, I shouldn't have started this game!
The last update for today will be a little late. I'll go out for dinner and then write more when I get back.
