You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 68, "The Counterattack of the Speaker Cricket," has a Douban rating of 10.0.
Even without the restriction of Dracovish, Lance didn't rush to send out his other Dragonite.

The reason is simple: Scizor can use Bullet Punch to break Dragonite's Multiscale ability.

Although A-Du's sudden and aggressive change of tactics had yielded good results, at this point, it's definitely better to proceed cautiously and secure a victory rather than increase the risk.

Knowing when to switch your mindset is a quality that an excellent trainer should possess.

After confirming that the opponent's rotation was Kingdra, Qingyu, who simultaneously recalled Scizor, silently breathed a sigh of relief.

So far, the worldline is correct!
With a healthy Heracross coming on as a substitute, this might be its only chance to score in the match.

Of course, it's actually a bit troublesome...

[No way, Kingdra can also use Storm, this Heracross is just incredibly unlucky to have encountered a Dodo...]

[But it seems like this is the only option left. I'm sure Teacher Yu has a way to turn the tide!]

[Keep it up, big brother in the battle! If you beat Mr. Awa, I'll definitely send you a huge wave of gifts!]

That's right, although Kingdra doesn't have a Flying-type, it does have Hurricane, making it a staple in rain teams.

Even on rainless days, A-Du's Stormy Azure Feather always seems to never miss.

"King Thorn Dragon, Storm!"

Heracross, hold!

When the instructions from both sides are issued simultaneously again, they cancel each other out in the classic way, and nothing happens.

What appears to be a forced and passive defensive action is actually not the case.

After absorbing the deadly gale, Heracross's body soon showed some burn marks.

"Burns? Is it from the Flame Orb?"

A-Du frowned, immediately realizing his opponent's plan.

One of Heracross's traits is Guts, which increases her attack power when she enters an abnormal state and allows her to ignore the side effect of burns reducing the damage of physical moves!

Its attack power is already quite high, so the probability of killing the King Thorn Dragon in one hit under these circumstances is...

100%!

"Heracross, close combat!"

"King Thorn Dragon, Storm!"

A-Du shouted out the command almost instinctively.

If you're even a fraction of a second slower, the scales of victory will tip completely, and you'll lose all chance of winning...

Facing the raging storm, Heracross charged forward relentlessly, abandoning all defense and unleashing a powerful punch aimed directly at King Thorn Dragon's face!
In that instant, King Thorn Dragon had also completed its charge, and a storm as sharp as a blade descended from the sky, engulfing them all!
The two Pokémon remained stuck together until the storm subsided, at which point they lost their ability to battle.

Qingyu was not surprised by this result.

In the game, both sides have the same base speed stat.

In other words, if the trainers on both sides are at the same command speed and their speeds are both at maximum, they will attack simultaneously.

Although the result was a lose-lose situation, A-Du smiled.

“Well done, King Thorn Dragon.”

With only three defeated opponents left, facing a Dragonite with an incredibly fast attack, there was no chance of winning... was there?

Actually it is not.

"Speaker Hero, turn the tide!"

Qingyu and Adu both threw out their Poké Balls at the same time.

Knowing that Ayu had only one Dragonite left, Aoba's thinking had never been clearer.

"The final song!"

Qingyu clenched her fist and stared intently at the back of the red cricket.

Speaker Krookodile is a pitifully weak bug Pokémon.

They are so weak that they don't even have the right to choose their own territory, and can only huddle together for warmth in the grass at night.

Therefore, from the moment they are born as Yuanfashi, the weak insects gather in the outermost grass and use their antennae to play a sound like a xylophone. The sound that summons their companions is called "the landscape poem of an autumn night" by the bards.

Expressing emotions through melodies and composing different beautiful tunes for each day is their favorite form of entertainment.

Through centuries of passionate performances, even tiny insects like the cricket with its tiny body have gradually mastered the power of sound.

Now, Qingyu finally heard the final movement of the orchestra played by the speaker, now as faint as a candle in the wind, from within the screen...

This piece will surely bring victory!
"Kuailong, great speed!"

Awata's command arrived quickly, but it was too late; the final song of destruction had already begun.

The plaintive song lingered in the air. Having completed its mission, the Speaker Krill had no way to avoid being hit by Dragonite's Extreme Headbutt, completely losing its ability to battle.

Meanwhile, the battle has entered its final countdown.

Perish Song is a special move that affects the mental state of all Pokémon present, causing them to completely lose their will to fight after a period of time.

The simplest solution is to rotate the performers to avoid listening to an entire song.

However, Lance no longer has any spare Pokémon to replace him with.

So the only way to win is to defeat Aoba's last two Pokémon before the countdown ends!

Inheriting the survival instincts of the Bug Pokémon, Scolipede takes over.

Faced with Dragonite's incredible speed, a transparent barrier immediately unfolded, blocking Dragonite's attempt to finish the battle quickly.

then……

"Dig a hole!"

"earthquake!"

The trainers on both sides gave instructions one after the other. Centipede King, which tried to bury its body in the ground to avoid danger, was quickly hit by the backlash from the earth and immediately went black and fainted.

Digging can evade most attacks, but earthquakes are the only thing that can cause fatal damage to it when it is burrowed underground.

At this point, both sides had only one Pokémon left.

Scizor vs. Dragonite.

Using the same formula, Scizor once again used Protect to stop Dragonite's rampage.

then……

"Bullet punch!"

The desperate bullet punch, delivered with a powerful inch-force, struck the Dragonite's belly, instantly knocking off countless white scales.

The final counterattack from the Bug type, although it caused negligible damage to Dragonite, successfully broke down the opponent's last psychological defense.

The mournful music gradually faded away, and Dragonite, having lost its will to fight, slowly lowered its head and collapsed to the ground.

at the same time.

The light blue victory symbol gradually became clear, filling the entire screen for viewers in the live stream.

The score is 6:5.

Without a doubt, this was an incredibly fierce victory, and the outcome remained uncertain until the very last second.

[Holy crap...we won???]

[It was just a battle, why was it so exciting?! I'll never joke about speaker bugs again!]

[Say no to the unnecessary comments about the speaker-shaped cuttlefish! The MVP for this match definitely goes to the speaker-shaped cuttlefish!]

[As long as we unite as one, even a weak cricket can defeat a monster-like dragon... Teacher Yu, I understand!]

[You know nothing! Without the streamer's exaggerated command and predictive abilities, playing with a speaker like this is definitely not going to win...]

The audience went completely wild, and in a short time, in addition to countless bullet comments, various gifts and paid messages flooded the screen.

After winning the victory, Qingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and revealed a satisfied smile:

"Awesome!"
