Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 136 I'm tired, let's destroy it! (4k)

This isn't a welfare agency at all!

Looking at the Scorpion King on the screen with its calm and composed smile, Qi Shu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, feeling utterly powerless.

There really are Ground-type Pokémon here. This is too much of a hassle!

She felt as if she wasn't challenging a gym, but rather solving a daunting puzzle. Every move her opponent made was unexpected and completely unpredictable.

But since we've come this far, we can only grit our teeth and keep going, hoping to learn as much as we can.

She took a deep breath, forced herself to concentrate, put her hands back on the mouse and keyboard, sharpened her gaze, and began to think rapidly about how her team should deal with this Scorpion King.

Her brain started working at lightning speed.

Aside from Magneton, whose stamina is almost depleted, the remaining Ampharos and Electabuzz also have other type moves, so their coverage is quite good...

She recalled the two movesets: the Electric Dragon had the Rock-type Power Gem, and the Electric Spider had the Grass-type Energy Ball and Bug Buzz.
But it seems... none of them can restrain the Scorpio King.

Qi Shu couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

With its Ground/Flying typing, it perfectly avoids the weaknesses of Rock and Grass types, and Bug types only deal normal damage... This guy's resistances are actually that good?
But then again...
Qishu paused for a moment, trying to think positively and comfort himself.

At least this guy won't have such terrifying burst damage anymore, right?

Compared to the previous Swellow, this one seems like a sustain-type Pokémon. Even so, it's much better than Raichu being one-shotted.
As for the Magneton...
She looked at her teammates, who were low on health from the attack, and felt a little heavy-hearted.

Now we definitely can't switch Pokémon to lose turns anymore... so we have no choice but to give them away.

We must create safe opportunities for our teammates to get on the court.
As she was pondering this, she realized that she could not take back the order she had just given.

At the start of the round, Magneton, with its last bit of health remaining, stubbornly gathered its strength, unleashing a dazzling golden electric shock from its body, and accurately struck Gliscor in the air with a Thunderbolt!

But as Qishu had predicted, a despairing message popped up:

But it didn't work!

Scorpio King even lazily adjusted his posture in mid-air, as if the violent electric shock was just a trivial gust of wind that had no effect on him.

Then, something even more unexpected happened—ominous purple bubbles suddenly appeared on the opponent's Scorpion King!
A system notification popped up:
[The opponent's highly poisonous orb has been triggered!]

[The Scorpion King has been poisoned!]

"Poisoned?" Qi Shu looked at the scene and subconsciously read it out, then froze.

Wait... what's going on? How could it be poisoned? Is this how the Poison Orb is used?

She felt as if her common sense had been shattered and her brain had completely shut down.

Unlike the Flame Orb, the Poison Orb is an item frequently used by Poison-type trainers in the real world.

However, the main purpose of this thing is to provide powerful poison-type energy to poison-type Pokémon, enhancing their abilities in the poison aspect.

However, due to the extremely potent toxins contained within, generally speaking, unless it is a Champion-level Poison-type Pokémon, it would have to use a single Poison Orb several times in succession; otherwise, even a Poison-type Pokémon would not be able to withstand it.

But now, why is this Scorpion King in the game wearing the Venomous Orb on its body?

And this stuff even poisoned him??

This bizarre sight left the viewers bewildered, prompting a flurry of comments:
【Wait, what does this mean?】

Is it the Perseverance trait again?

[Wait a minute, why not bring the Flame Orb? Wouldn't the Scorpion King lose health if it got poisoned by the Poison Orb?]

[Yes, and Swellow, the King of Perseverance, is an old friend of ours, but surely there isn't a Scorpio with the Perseverance trait, right?]

[Bug? Did the streamer trigger a hidden mechanic again? Or did the NPC bring the wrong item?]

But before everyone could figure out about the poisonous orb, something even more unexpected happened during the battle—

Scorpion King completely ignored its own poisoned state and did not attack the weakened Magneton to take it down.

At this moment, a strange halo appeared around it, and a blurry, slightly comical doll-like substitute instantly appeared in front of it, taking its place!
As the doll appeared, his stamina bar above his head instantly dropped by more than half, and a game notification popped up.

[Scorpion King used a Stand!]

[Scorpion King's HP has decreased!]

Upon seeing this, the comments section erupted in discussion again.

[A substitute? This is the first time I've seen this skill. Even in reality, not many people use this move, right?]

[Haha, you know what, this stand-in doll is actually quite cute.]

So what is the effect of this skill in the game?

[I don't quite understand. The opponent inexplicably poisoned themselves, and then used this skill to lose half their own health. Aren't they afraid of poisoning themselves to death?]

However, looking at the elusive doll, Qishu suddenly had a bad feeling.

Experience told him that when playing this game, whenever an opponent's behavior is completely inexplicable by common sense, it can only mean one thing.

—I'm going to be in trouble!

Sure enough, a notification popped up the next moment:
[Scorpion King's Poison Healing ability activated, restoring HP!]

With the poison healing effect triggered, the Scorpion King instantly recovered some of the health it had lost from creating the Stand!

In this situation, the screen was instantly filled with question marks, and everyone was completely bewildered.

【What kind of feature is this?】

[I get it! The Poison Orb triggered poison healing! No wonder he let himself get poisoned!]

[Wow, what an incredible plot twist!]

Qi Shu was dumbfounded.

So, this orb is specifically designed to trigger the Scorpion King's Poison Healing ability to restore health, essentially a giant version of Leftovers? "There's no other way..."

As the new round began, Qishu knew he had to get Magneton to do something.

However, she can only select the skill "Cannon Beam".

"This doesn't counter Flying-types, but at least it's a Steel-type STAB move, so it won't be immune. Hopefully, it can take down that Substitute."

As the next round began, a green protective shield suddenly appeared around Scorpio King!

[Scorpion King has activated protection!]

The Magneto's all-out "cannon shot" slammed into the light shield and was completely neutralized!

But it didn't work!

In this way, not only did the Stand not break, but the Poison Heal ability was activated again during the gap when the protection ended, restoring Gliscor's health!
[I get it now, holy crap! Poison healing + Substitute + Protection, this cycle is working?!]

What is this now?

[Damn it, why are all the NPCs in this game so uncivilized?]

At that moment, Qishu slumped back in his chair.

Tired, destroy it.

However, what Kiju didn't expect was that the torment she endured in this dojo battle was only the beginning and was far from over.

An hour later, after countless failures, she finally figured out the composition of all the Pokémon in the Flying-type Gym team.

Besides the Scorpion King she was familiar with, who could skillfully use its Substitute to protect the Poison Orb, and the Swellow with its Guts ability and maximum offensive power equipped with the Flame Orb,
The remaining three Pokémon are Talonflame, a dual Fire/Flying type with the Flame Body ability, Togekiss, a Flying type, and Altaria, a dual Flying/Dragon type.

These three Pokémon are clearly not easy opponents to deal with; in fact, they are all quite troublesome.

In comparison, the easiest to deal with is the Talonflame. It doesn't have the extremely violent output of a Swellow, but its speed and physical attack stats are also very high. Even Magneton can't withstand its damage.

As for the other Pokémon, Togekiss, it caused Qishu an even greater headache, far surpassing even the trouble caused by Gliscor, which could substitute for Poison.

After several rounds of fighting the Scorpion King, when he realized that this strategy was really disgusting, Qi Shu was still thinking about how there could be such an overpowered skill and characteristic configuration in this world.

But when she finally defeated Scorpion King and stood before Togekiss, she realized that she didn't need so many disgusting setups to make her opponent feel pain.
This Togekiss's ability, as described in the game, is called "Heavenly Grace," and its effect is quite straightforward: when using a move, there is a higher probability of triggering the move's additional effects.

The Togekiss in this Flying-type gym is practically cheating. Its Air Slash, enhanced by the Serene Grace ability, triggers Flinch once with each use, and then triggers Flinch again with each subsequent use.
Togekiss was incredibly fast, and Kiju felt like he was about to lose his temper.

As for the last Altaria, although it hasn't shown anything special yet, its Dragon and Flying type attributes mean that Electric-type moves can't deal double damage to it.

Moreover, this Pokémon's durability seems to be quite exaggerated, with the Dragon-type stats being fully displayed at this moment.

Countless times, Qishu had managed to defeat several Pokémon with great difficulty, only to fall to Altaria in the end, failing at the last moment.

However, these many failures were not entirely meaningless.

After countless attempts and restarts, Qishu finally found a perfect timeline!
Not only did Swellow's Brave Bird attack miss, but Gliscor's Substitute Poison also ran out of health during a critical hit, and Togekiss's Air Slash was successfully taken down without triggering the Coward effect even once.

Most importantly, not long ago, it was only after being reminded by the comments that Qishu suddenly remembered that he had the qualifications to undergo Mega Evolution.

Then, amidst the dazzling seven-colored light, everyone witnessed the appearance of the Electric Dragon after its Mega Evolution. Its dragon bloodline was awakened, and its long white hair fluttered gracefully, making it look incredibly majestic, just like a dragon whose body was flashing with brilliant lightning!
This Mega Ampharos is naturally quite powerful. Although its speed disadvantage has not been improved much, its durability and output have been significantly enhanced. It was with this that Qishu defeated the most troublesome Gliscor.

After defeating the penultimate Pokémon, Talonflame, Qishu's side still had two Pokémon with combat capabilities remaining.

One of them is Raichu, which is still at full strength.

The other one is a Mega Ampharos standing proudly on the battlefield, with more than half of its stamina remaining.

At this moment, the battle music had become incredibly exciting, and the atmosphere had become tense and heated. The viewers in the live broadcast room held their breath, as if they were all looking forward to Qishu's victory.

At this moment, she herself was frowning deeply, completely absorbed in her work.

After dozens of challenges, can we finally see the light at the end of the tunnel?

As the round began, the red light of the Poké Ball flashed, and with the opponent's last Pokémon, Altaria, entering the field, Qishu shouted out without hesitation.

"Please, Electric Dragon, use Dragon Pulse!"

Dragon is a rather subtle type, because Dragon types can be super effective against each other and their own kind of Pokémon. Ampharos gains the additional Dragon type after Mega Evolution.

With the power of Mega Ampharos after its Mega Evolution, if this attack were to hit Altaria, its powerful output would definitely be enough to instantly kill it.

However, Qi Shu's expression was not particularly good, because she knew that the speed of the electric dragon was very slow, while the speed of the Altaria was very likely to be higher than that of the electric dragon.

As a Dragon-type Pokémon, Altaria naturally possesses Dragon-type moves.

As expected, just as they had predicted, Altaria made the first move. With a clear cry, a deep blue light wave condensed in its mouth, transforming into a dragon shape and charging straight at Mega Ampharos!

A dazzling blue light flashed, and a powerful notification popped up. The health bar on the top of the Mega Electric Dragon began to plummet rapidly. Clearly, even after its Mega Evolution, it couldn't withstand Altaria's deadly attack with less than half its remaining strength.

However, its stamina bar above its head stopped at a negligible red dot at the very last moment before it reached its lowest point.

As a burst of rousing music played, a notification suddenly popped up in front of Qishu's eyes.

[Seemingly sensing its trainer's expectations, the Mega Ampharos miraculously withstood its opponent's attack!]

Is this the bond between a trainer and Pokémon?

Qi Shu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flashed with excitement and brilliance.

—The bond between myself and my Pokémon?!
In this final moment, she had no time to think about anything else; in her fervor, she suddenly stood up and shouted.

"Please, Mega Ampharos!!! One last hit!!"

[Mega Ampharos used Dragon Pulse!]

A dazzling blue glow covered the entire screen, and prompts for "Outstanding Effect" and "Critical Hit" popped up, seemingly announcing the end of the battle.

However, at that very moment, amidst the deep blue light, a dazzling seven-colored stream of light quietly appeared on the body of the Qixi Bluebird.

Then... it surged out in a frenzy!
