Chapter 84: A barrage of dragon star clusters – pure numerical charm!
Gadria frowned as she watched Miss Goth, who had instantly lost her fighting ability and collapsed on the field.

Miscalculated.

She never expected that Qingyu's King Thorn Dragon would have a sniper trait that she had almost never seen before.

No wonder he didn't use Dragon Dance to enhance his power, but instead chose to gather energy. I thought he just anticipated that I would use Trick Space...

In retrospect, was a trap set from the very beginning when the lineup was revealed?

Cattleya shook her head helplessly.

She was just a newbie who didn't even know how to train Pokémon and couldn't be taught by Cynthia step by step, but now she's grown into someone pretty good.

However, they are still far inferior to me!
"Once the Dragon Star Swarm hits, the fighting power of this King Thorn Dragon will be reduced."

"So... use cell egg meditation to enhance, and prepare to push the team directly."

As we all know, powerful moves are often accompanied by unbearable side effects.

Even a powerful Dragon-type move like Dragon Star Cluster is not immune to this rule.

Due to the recoil of the move, Kingdra's damage output will be temporarily reduced after each hit.

In any case, it will give you the opportunity to strengthen your stance!
However, the moment she saw her trainer avatar lose the ball on the field, Gadria suddenly felt a sense of unease.

Her superhuman, instinctive ability to foresee the future told her that the plot might not unfold as she wished.

"...It must be my imagination. How could I possibly lose to this guy?"

Cattleya shook her head, forcibly suppressing the unease that surged through her heart.

"Artificial cell egg, meditate!"

Seeing that Gadriya had sent out artificial cell eggs, intending to seize the opportunity of his replacement to strengthen himself, Qingyu couldn't help but smile slightly.

You're still too young, Cattleya.

The artificial cell egg is indeed an extremely troublesome Pokémon in the space system.

Aside from its extremely slow speed, the artificial cell egg has excellent durability and output capacity.

Not only can it learn many special attack moves that cover its weaknesses, but it also has the excellent ability of Magic Defense and the terrifying endurance provided by Regeneration.

However, slow speed becomes an absolute advantage in a spatial system.

Therefore, once it finds a weakness, there is definitely a possibility of being overthrown.

However, it posed little threat to Qingyu.

"Dragon King, Dragon Star Cluster!"

Without hesitation, Qingyu gave the same command again.

[? You fired a barrage of dragon stars, right? The power is only half of what it was last time. It'll probably only scratch the surface of the artificial cell egg that's been enhanced by meditation...]

[Are you really going to stubbornly refuse to switch streamers? Artificial cell eggs can learn to regenerate themselves; if you can't even take down half their health, it's a waste of time!]

Just as the viewers in the live chat started discussing whether there was a problem with his move, the Pokémon on both sides had already begun to act.

Due to the influence of the Trick Space, the artificial cell egg completed its meditation first, followed by the giant meteor condensed by the Thorn Dragon King.

As the audience thought, Kingdra, having already hit the Dragon Star Cluster once, was at its last gasp. Given this shift in power, it shouldn't be able to cause any effective damage to the artificial cell egg with its special defense enhanced.

However, the truth is...

The oppressive feeling was no less than the previous Heavenly Dragon Meteor, which fell again, and the violent impact once again wiped out the opponent's health in an instant!
[Holy crap? This damage isn't right!]

[What the hell? Is this the power you'd expect from a series of Dragon Starburst attacks?]

[It took down two of the opponent's Pokémon in a row. Is Kingdra really that strong?] The viewers in the chat were stunned, and countless question marks started flooding the live stream.

"Don't be silly about the basics. Today, Teacher Yu will give you another lesson."

Qingyu chuckled softly.

Teacher Yu's battle mini-class is now open!
"Besides the well-known effect of dealing higher damage when hitting a vital point, there's another, less common but absolutely powerful effect—"

"A move that hits a vital point can ignore the opponent's enhancement effects, and even the weakening of one's own abilities."

"This is the essence of this 100% critical hit tactic!"

Because of the impact of hitting a vital point, the Dragon Star Cluster not only directly pierced through the meditation enhancement of the artificial cell egg, but also completely ignored the weakness effect after using the Dragon Star Cluster.

Qingyu also researched online before the broadcast started.

This peculiar mechanism already exists in reality and was first discovered by Dr. Birch in Hoenn, but it remains unknown because there are so few real-world examples.

That's why the Pokémon games also inherited this feature.

It was precisely because of its violent effect that Qingyu dared to decisively leave the Thorn Dragon King on the field and unleash a second deadly Dragon Star Swarm.

As long as the firepower is sufficient, it can dominate the world even without any enhancement effects!
After having two of her main forces wiped out in quick succession, Gadalia felt her blood pressure rising rapidly.

"How could there be such a boring tactic!"

With almost no cost, Qingyu smoothly gained a perfect 2-0 lead at the start, and even the duration of the Trick Space was almost over.

Next, she could only send out her team's strongest damage dealer, Metagross, and forcefully take down the Kingdra by dealing damage.

Even so, Metagross was hit by another Draco Meteor, leaving it with a dangerously low health level.

Even Steel-type Pokémon that can resist Dragon-type attacks are not necessarily safe in the face of a Dragon Star Cluster with a 100% critical hit rate.

As expected, after being wiped out by Aoba's Pelipper, Cattleya's depleted team could only barely survive against Aoba's almost fully equipped rain team.

As the last symbolic bird finally succumbed to exhaustion, the word "Victory" quickly appeared on Qingyu's screen.

"Phew—thankfully I'm a cut above the rest."

After letting out a long sigh, Qingyu glanced at the comments section.

[What a brutal tactic! If it were a Kingdra like that, I could definitely learn it too!]

Did Teacher Yu even have any skill in this match? It was pure stat-based domination, a tactic that even grandma could learn...

This is exactly the kind of tactic that suits a newcomer like me! I'm investing in this project!

"In theory, this tactic is not limited to a single Pokémon; there are quite a few Pokémon with the Sniper ability."

Qingyu added a few simple sentences.

"But if we're talking about the most suitable one, it has to be the King Thorn Dragon."

Unlike the Talonflame we taught a while ago, theoretically any Pokémon with the Sniper ability can replicate what just happened.

However, this is ultimately a tactic that prioritizes numerical values ​​and aims for instant kills, so the King Thorn Dragon, which can unleash a powerful Dragon Star Swarm and is itself a numerical monster, naturally has the highest priority.

Kingdra's attribute distribution is very well-rounded, with no weaknesses in any aspect, but its strengths are not particularly outstanding either. Theoretically, it shouldn't be particularly impressive in battles.

However, if the stats on an evenly distributed panel are high enough, it's not called a "bucket panel" anymore; it should be called a "hexagonal warrior."
There aren't that many twists and turns; it's just that the numbers aren't high enough!

Thank you to Shimizu no Son for the donation.
Actually, the King Thorn Dragon's water bucket allocation was somewhat disadvantageous, falling far short of the stats of a monster. It was only due to various other factors that this shortcoming was compensated for.

The stat distribution for the true water bucket is weird, it has to be me, Arceus (laughs).
