Chapter 185 On Why the Arrowhawk is a Top-Tier Tailwind Striker

[The trainer on the other side is so cute! Another adorable one!]

[Unfortunately, she ran into Teacher Yu. As everyone knows, Teacher Yu never goes easy on cute girls...]

Women will only slow down Teacher Yu's commands!

After discovering that their opponent was a sweet-looking female trainer, the chat became noticeably more excited.

However, rather than being cute, they seem to prefer seeing Qingyu torture his opponents in battle...

Yes, as expected of my own live stream, everyone here is a true gamer.

Qingyu thought to himself, while also glancing at the opponent's lineup.

Positive-charged Slap, Negative-charged Slap, Whimsicott, Slowbro (Galarian form), Blueboar, Primarina.

The classic double-pace start.

Moreover, apart from Slowbro, her team consists entirely of pink or cute-looking Pokémon.

In Senior Ziyu's eyes, Blue Emperor should be considered quite cute...

"Apart from Whimsicott, we don't need to target the other Pokémon specifically; they're easy for us to handle."

After a quick glance, Qingyu quickly came to a conclusion.

Ziyu's lineup only has one support character, Wind Fairy, and in doubles, the influence of a support character is much greater than that of other damage dealers.

The Wind Fairy is the best among them. In her previous life, she was known as "Black Heart Cotton" by countless players because of her powerful support abilities.

Therefore, you need to pay a little attention to it.

Having made up his mind, Qingyu decisively chose his two starter Pokémon—

Arrowhawk and Togekiss.

The opponent hesitated for a few seconds before making a choice.

The battle began quickly, with both trainers appearing and simultaneously throwing four Poké Balls.

"You're the ones I've decided on! Positive charge clap, negative charge clap!"

"Go, Flame Slammer and Airplane Slammer!"

As soon as Qingyu opened her mouth, she immediately made the audience laugh.

[Teacher Yu, what kind of patting is this? Is it legal?]

[Don't laugh at the challenge? Then you win!]

[Did they anticipate the opponent's starting lineup and deliberately pull off this stunt?]

The two electric mice (red and blue) and the arrow eagles and small planes from Qingyu's side appeared at the same time, and both sides immediately made commands without hesitation:
"Clap on the positive charge to discharge it; clap on the negative charge to help it!"

"Swordhawk, Tailwind; Togekiss, Air Blade!"

Ziyu's choice was very standard, and can be called the most classic operation in Paipai.

Since Positive and Negative Velcro have positive and negative charges respectively, their Special Attack will be boosted when they are both on the field due to the electric effect.

At the same time, the auxiliary effect of using negatively charged patters further enhances the discharge power of positively charged patters.

Electric-type moves, which were already very effective against Qingyu's two Flying-type Pokémon, will become extremely deadly.

But Qingyu did not react to their actions at all.

Because both sides make commands simultaneously, everything depends on the speed at which the four Pokémon on the field act.

With their almost perfect teamwork, Negative Patch took the initiative to help their teammate further enhance the power of their move.

After the Negative Charger uses its help, Talonflame, which has the Gale Wings ability, follows closely behind, quickly gathering wind power and creating a whirlwind on the field.

During the period when the momentum continues, Qingyu's attack speed will be very fast.

Therefore, Togekiss, who is not known for its speed, took the initiative and quickly launched a silent attack with an air blade, indiscriminately targeting the opponent's half of the court. Due to the tailwind, this air blade was launched much faster than Positive Pound's discharge.

Although its power was average, barely scratching the Flying-type Pokémon that were resistant to Flying-type moves, thanks to the blessing of Serenity and Togekiss's own luck, it actually managed to make the opponent flinch, causing the half-charged move to stop.

At this point, the audience instantly understood—

[Holy crap, so it's designed to make the opponent endlessly fearful? That's certainly simple and straightforward...]

I think I'll really learn this time; it's all down to luck!

[Compared to Togekiss, Talonflame seems more important as a teammate's support to capitalize on opportunities?]

"That's right, this Arrowhawk is actually the soul of the team!"

Qingyu nodded, acknowledging the comments' assessment.

"Besides its impressive damage output, the Arrowhawk is also a very powerful support character."

"Due to its ability Gale Wings and its already high speed, its Tailwind speed is almost unmatched by any other Pokémon."

"As long as we can get the wind in, we can reliably take the initiative whether we attack or use moves like Taunt, Phosphorus Fire, or Feather Roost."

"A tailwind is also crucial for teammates who need to speed up, such as our protagonist Togekis."

Tokis isn't actually that fast; without a tailwind and a carefully chosen scarf, he wouldn't dare say he could outrun Pat Pat...

The strength of the Air Blade itself is very average. Whether it is playable depends almost entirely on whether the random numbers will be on your side and whether you can take the initiative to intimidate your opponent.

Therefore, this lineup is more for fun and not very suitable for ranking up.

However, if you can keep your opponent intimidated and annoyed them to the point of disconnecting their network cable, it's definitely more satisfying than ranking up.

[It seems absurd, but there seems to be another problem, right?]

[Given Togekiss's damage output just now, to slowly kill two Ursa, you'd need to make them flinch at least five times... Teacher Yu, are you sure you have that kind of luck?]

Has Teacher Yu gotten too cocky? He's actually resorting to luck-based tactics!

"..."

Actually, there was no need for the comments to remind her; Qingyu already had a vague sense that something was wrong.

But since the lineup is already set, I have no choice but to go for it!

"Togekiss, Talonflame, continue with Air Blade!"

Thanks to Tailwind and their abilities, both Pokémon can unleash the same moves repeatedly, further increasing their margin for error.

but……

Perhaps it was because the air blades from before gave the positive-electrode slam resistance that it was able to withstand two hits this time without flinching.

Meanwhile, because the negatively charged slap helped it charge up before the air blade arrived, the terrifying electric current, now fully charged, instantly swept across the entire arena!
The terrifying power instantly depleted Togekiss's stamina. If it weren't for the Aura Sash that Talonflame was carrying, it would probably have been instantly killed.

The abundant electricity even targeted its own teammates, and the indiscriminate attack nearly killed even the negatively charged patter that was resistant to electricity.

"This……"

Qingyu's lips twitched.

Statistically speaking, the probability of not flinching when patted by a positive charge should be 28%, which is indeed not low.

After all, in Pokémon battles, 80% accuracy equals 0% accuracy, so he was used to such low-probability events.

Playing the lottery is definitely not for me!
"But it doesn't matter, there's another variation to this lineup!"

Without even a moment's mourning for Togekiss's fall, the one who immediately rushed to the battlefield was—

Dongdong Mouse!
Since relying on luck won't work, let's come up with a strategy that will make our opponents 100% intimidated!
