You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 171 There are also differences between quasi-gods.
"Wow, using the combination of Sandstorm and Sand Concealment, he managed to perform a Swords Dance boost right when Dragonite was using Tailwind?"

Qingyu also noticed Garchomp's unusual behavior and quickly realized what was happening.

The Sand Cloak trait is actually quite useless in the game.

Because dodging is basically a matter of luck!

For the vast majority of players, leaving the outcome to luck is a very irrational thing to do.

However, the Sand Concealment ability is currently showing its own unique charm.

While concealing its presence, Garchomp silently observes its opponent, seizing the opportunity to perform a damage-free power-up, further enhancing its combat strength!

only……

While its damage output has increased, Dragonite, which can take off from a standstill due to the tailwind effect, now has the edge in speed.

Has Zhulan considered a solution to this?

"Dragonite, Ice Beam!"

Adu spoke again soon after.

Because Garchomp has already been strengthened once, and Dragonite's Multiscale has been largely destroyed by the Sandstorm, it no longer has any defensive capabilities.

Therefore, he conservatively chose to keep his distance and try to wear down his opponent with the Freeze Beam.

"Garuda, scales flash!"

Zhu Lan spoke at almost the same time as him.

The two Pokémon quickly separated, with beams of light and projectile scales moving back and forth above the field.

Because both sides were relatively conservative, after a round of probing, both sides easily dodged each other's attacks.

However, for Zhu Lan, she had already achieved her goal.

"Scale Shot is a great move."

Qingyu couldn't help but sigh. When he noticed Adu's furrowed brows, he immediately realized that he had also figured out Zhulan's plan.

The move Scale Shot uses Garchomp's own scales as projectiles to fire rapidly and continuously.

Although the loss of scales temporarily reduced its defense, it was already almost helpless after taking a single freezing punch, so there was actually no difference.

The loss of the weight of these scales has actually increased its speed, and now even Dragonite with the Tailwind buff can barely keep up.

If Dragonite continues to wear down its opponent like this, Garchomp's advantage will only grow.

Because tailwind cannot be maintained indefinitely, Garchomp's combat power boost remains unaffected.

The mounting pressure caused a bead of sweat to trickle down A-Du's forehead. After a period of rapid thought, he quickly devised a solution—

"Dragonite, Black Mist!"

Black Mist, an Ice-type status move, affects all Pokémon on the field by creating a black mist.

Once the black mist is inhaled, all of Garchomp's previous preparations will be rendered useless, and it will become extremely dangerous due to the side effects of Scale Shot.

Although Lance's Dragonite moves were now completely locked after using this move, it was all worth it as long as he could take down the fully-powered Garchomp.

As A-Du encouraged himself, Zhu-Lan's command rang out again—

"Now, Garchomp."

"Charge forward and use Reverse Scale!"

After the trainer behind him gave a decisive command, Garchomp immediately sprang into action.

Garchomp attacked almost simultaneously with Dragonite, arriving at Dragonite's side at terrifying speed. Its crimson eyes were fixed on Dragonite, which was raising black mist.

The moment the black mist touched its body, Garchomp roared to the sky, its scales standing on end, creating an incredibly imposing sight. The terrifying pressure instantly engulfed Dragonite.

If I get hit by this move, I might lose consciousness immediately!

Driven by instinct, Dragonite wanted to unleash Ice Punch to take down this terrifying opponent first.

However, it was too late.

Garchomp completely disregarded defense and launched a fierce, tidal wave of attacks, leaving Dragonite with no way to escape.

Having lost the protection of its multiple scales, Dragonite was no match for the power of Outrage and quickly lost consciousness in mid-air before crashing to the ground.

After wreaking havoc without a care in the world, Garchomp regained consciousness and felt a moment of mental disorientation.

It quickly slapped itself in the face, and after recovering slightly, it immediately pulled out a fruit from behind it and swallowed it, its eyes becoming much clearer.

[Goodness, that's really ruthless to oneself. But the fact that they brought wood-seed fruits means they won't even have a chance to eat them if they get instantly killed...]

To some extent, the Cyndaquil champion was quite confident, believing that Garchomp could defeat Dragonite.

[Isn't that obvious? If you don't even have that much confidence, what are you doing playing in the Masters tournament?]

"That's certainly a very bold choice..."

Qingyu was also worried for Cynthia and Garchomp.

It's important to know that the Wood Berry has almost no effect on this battle. Only after Garchomp uses Outrage to defeat its opponent will it have a chance to eat it during the switch-out to regain its sanity.

If Garchomp is hit by Dragonite even once, the outcome could be reversed.

However, it was precisely this absolute confidence in her own and Garchomp's strength that allowed Cynthia to take the first victory.

There is also a gap between quasi-gods.

"The score is now 1-0. Due to the influence of the black mist and the fact that Reverse Scale has consumed a lot of energy, Zhu Lan has chosen to withdraw the main force along with A Du."

On Adu's side, Bangiras, who had appeared in the exhibition match before, made a reappearance, causing a sandstorm to rise up on the field once again as soon as he appeared.

Cynthia then sent out Kommo-o-Tsurugi as her counterpart.

Taking advantage of the lull before the two sides resumed their battle, Qingyu interjected with a couple of tidbits of knowledge:
"Tyranitar's type combination is Rock and Dark. Not only is it not a Dragon Pokémon, it also has many weaknesses."

"However, since the strength of a pseudo-god is beyond doubt, apart from the Fighting type which has a four times weakness, other weaknesses are not critical and can even be used to help trigger Weakness Insurance."

"However... it just so happens that Cynthia's Pokémon is a Fighting-Dragon Pokémon, so it seems like Tyranitar will have a hard time going up against it."

[Good grief, Tyranitar is the king of baiting, isn't he? Bringing a Weakness Policy and begging to be hit!]

Although what Teacher Yu said seems to make a lot of sense, it seems that A-Du doesn't intend to take back Tyranitar...

[There's no way around it, don't forget that the other Dodo is also a Dragonite. If its own teammate's sandstorm knocks off its Multiscale, I feel like the sliced ​​version will definitely be trending on Pokémon TV tomorrow, hahaha!]

Qingyu nodded.

As the comments on the screen say, A-Du's current situation is extremely awkward.

In a 3v3 format, once your team is breached first, you're already at a significant disadvantage.

Moreover, both his attributes and the weather were actually more disadvantageous to him...

Unless Tyranitar is instantly killed by Kommo-o with a single Playful Rumble, it's too difficult to turn the tide.

But can your teacher learn to play around?
You can’t learn!

Qingyu sighed.

He was almost certain of the outcome of this battle.

Two more chapters. I'll finish writing the Masters tournament chapters today. I've been writing a lot of match-based content lately, so there probably won't be any more for now. Maybe I'll insert a few live stream segments at most.
