You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 167 For victory, I can even sacrifice my old buddies!

After witnessing Salamence being taken down with a single punch at close range, Genji quickly frowned and silently recalled it.

This is going to be a difficult situation...

Originally, the plan was just to let Salamence intimidate and distract Lance's Dragonite, and then see if they could knock off the multiscales on its body that it used for defense.

Unexpectedly, his trump card was eliminated so quickly, and the situation instantly became extremely unfavorable for him.

but……

Fortunately, I had prepared a backup plan.

Genji quickly shook his head and took another Poké Ball out of his pocket.

"Go, Piccolo!"

A pink, bipedal Pokémon with three pairs of wings appeared on the field.

Fairy Pokémon, Clefairy.

This Qingyu is, of course, very familiar with.

In fact, it is one of the creatures that shares the title of "Pink Devil" with Chansey.

As we all know, pink is the color of tough guys, and you can't pull off this flashy color scheme without some skill.

And Piccolo, this pink fairy who seems to have descended to this world from outer space on a meteorite, is certainly not to be underestimated.

With its noble Fairy type, which surpasses even the Dragon type, Clefairy, as the leader of Mt. Moon, is both powerful and resilient, giving it absolute dominance over Dragon Pokémon.

This is also a factor that Genji considered when he temporarily included it in the lineup.

Even with Dragon Dance buff, Dragonite's attacks still posed no threat to it.

"Is it Pixi, with its simple and honest nature?"

In the audience not far away, Qingyu watched the Clefairy staring at Dragonite with wide eyes and quickly realized what was going on.

Clefairy has a hidden ability called Naïve, which allows it to ignore changes in its opponent's abilities, whether on offense or defense, making it an excellent defensive ability.

Compared to it, the only effect of Dragon Dance is to increase speed.

Anyway, Clefairy can't possibly be faster than Dragonite, so this doesn't really matter.

"but……"

Aoba's eyes suddenly held a hint of mockery as he looked down at Genji, whose gaze was resolute.

"Given the moves Dragonite can learn, using Clefairy might not be a good thing..."

As of now, Lance's Dragonite has already shown Ignite, Dragon Dance, and Ice Punch, and still has one more move to spare.

Therefore, it is highly likely that it will be—

"Iron Head!" ×2
Qingyu and Adu below spoke at the same time.

[Here we go again! It's Teacher Yu's almost superhuman ability to predict real-world scenarios!]

[Teacher Yu used parrot-like speech!]

[Isn't this a synchronization feature?]

Over the past few days, the audience has become accustomed to Qingyu's incredibly accurate predictions and commands.

Moreover, he didn't keep anything to himself; he shared all his secrets on how to improve pre-reading skills during the live stream.

In his own words, as long as you can memorize the encyclopedia and play a few thousand ranked matches, you can reach a beginner level.

Hmm, that sounds easy to do!

The audience's reaction was lukewarm, but Xiaochun, who was watching from the other side, was not so calm.

After glancing at Qingyu with a surprised look, a storm of emotions surged within her.

Even though his cousin had used a command approach that he had never shown before and that completely broke with convention, it seemed that Adu's commands were all within his expectations.

In fact, his reaction was much faster than that of Genji, the Hoenn Tenno, who was standing opposite Wataru!

That is to say-

Besides his impressive tactical creativity, is his command ability almost on par with his cousin's? No, that's not all.

Although I'm very reluctant to admit it, but...

A-Du's tactical changes today are indeed closely related to Qing-Yu, and to some extent, it can even be said that he learned them from him.

Who exactly is this young Padiya curator?

On the other side, the Dragon Speedster, launching a fierce attack with lightning speed towards Pikessi, quickly hit its opponent.

A single headbutt sent Piccolo flying, leaving him dazed and disoriented.

Although it struggled to its feet, it was clear that it had suffered a considerable impact from the attack just now.

There are no absolutely perfect attributes in the Pokémon world.

Just as the powerful Dragon-type Pokémon is helpless against Fairy-type Pokémon, Fairy-type Pokémon also have their own weaknesses.

Poison and steel.

Although both of these attributes are defensively oriented, Dragonite still has offensive options, and it just so happens that it can learn the powerful Iron Head.

Its speed is already exaggerated, but with the Dragon Dance buff, its speed is comparable to the Iron Head's God-Speed ​​special move, and its destructive power is even more astonishing.

Even though Pico used Regeneration in time, it was taken down by the second Iron Head attack that followed.

At this point, the situation completely collapsed.

"Adu is going to lead 3-0."

Qingyu shook his head, silently declaring the battle over in advance, and stood up to applaud and cheer for the victor.

His judgment was, of course, based on evidence.

Because the last Pokémon that Genji had already shown at the beginning of the game—

With a four-fold weakness to Ice, Flygon has absolutely no chance against Dragonite's Ice Punch attack.

Just as he said, the last Flygon to enter the fray did nothing. The first thing it saw was a silly Dragonite that had already wiped out two of its teammates and was incredibly terrifying. It smiled and delivered an Ice Punch to the Dragonite's face.

Then there is no more then.

The score was a dismal 3-0, with Wataru crushing Genji, another top player with formidable strength, in a display of dominance.

This exciting and thrilling battle also sparked heated discussions among the audience.

[Wow, as expected of Kanto's last trump card, the Dodo's strength is undeniable!]

[A Dragonite swept through three opponents in a row, showing that even among the Elite Four members, there is a difference in strength...]

To be honest, when I saw that "do it again" move, I really saw a resemblance to Teacher Dianyu, hahaha!

However, none of Dragonite's four moves today were Dragon-type, not even a Flying-type move. Dodo, you've changed!

[That's a really bad critique, Dragon Dance really is a dragon-attribute technique...]

For victory, I'm even willing to sacrifice my old buddies (referring to the flying class)!

Even Tsubaki, sitting next to Cattleya, seemed somewhat moved.

He suffered a crushing defeat in the quarterfinals, ending his journey in this Dragon Attribute Master Tournament.

However, A-Du was able to easily break through and advance to the finals.

Besides the difference in Pokémon strength, an even more important factor is...

Awatari's tactical design was far superior to his opponent's, accurately predicting Genji's possible thoughts.

That's why, just like Zhu Lan in the previous match, she was able to end the battle effortlessly.

"..."

Xiao Chun couldn't help but reflect on whether she should learn from her cousin and expand her own combat strategies.
Her gaze inadvertently drifted to Qingyu on the other side.

If I could learn the way of thinking of this Qingyu Pavilion Master, just like that guy...

I should be able to become stronger too, right?
I'll post one chapter first, I'm having trouble writing anything. - -
