It's perfectly reasonable for me, a fisherman, to catch a Georgios, right?

"come on!!"

"come on!!"

As Song Yun and Lü Wanyun stood up, Qin Ming and the other members of the Shenzhen University team offered words of encouragement.

"The match between the two sides has officially begun!!"

With the referee's whistle, the first match between Shenzhen University and Nanjing University began.

Song Yun unleashed her ace Pokémon Charizard, and Lü Wanyun used her Alakazam. These two near-Elite Four level Pokémon were indeed the strongest scoring lineup in the Shenzhen University doubles competition.

In terms of Pokémon rank alone, only traditional prestigious schools like Tsinghua, Peking, and Danshi have the capability to field two near-Elite Four level Pokémon in a doubles tournament.

Following that, Nanjing University also sent out their doubles team.

……

In contrast, the Pokémon sent by the Nanjing University doubles team were relatively weaker, only at the mid-level of the Gym. However, when they saw these two Pokémon, everyone in the Shenzhen University team changed their expressions.

"This point in the doubles is probably lost!!"

Nong Junzhe shook his head and sighed, "Although we had an advantage in rank, our opponent's attribute advantage was just too strong back then."

"Houndoom is a Fire/Dark type, immune to Psychic-type moves. If it also has the Flash Fire ability, then it is also completely immune to Fire-type moves."

"And the Super Armored Rhinoceros is another one, a Charizard that counters Song Yun's four-times weakness to fire!!"

"Plus, the terrain is rocky and rugged, there's no way we can fight here!!"

"The opponent has two natural advantages: timing, location, and support. We only have one advantage left. This point in the doubles... is going to be difficult..."

"We've been tricked by the enemy!!"

Seeing the current situation in the match, Guo Jianguo's expression was as bitter as if he had swallowed a bitter pill: "In terms of strength alone, neither Super Armored Rhino nor Black Luluga are particularly strong, but they are absolutely dominant!!"

"If we lose the doubles, it means the opponent has lost two of their key players with minimal losses... If we can win, that's fine... but the problem is the probability of winning is very, very low..."

The battle hadn't even started yet, but almost no one was optimistic about the combination of Song Yun and Lü Wanyun.

In Pokémon battles, type is only one factor in determining victory or defeat. Being type-countered does not necessarily mean you will lose. The problem is that the opponent's team is too targeted, and it is not as simple as ordinary counter-strategy.

Nanjing University, as one of the top universities, may not have the same historical heritage as Tsinghua, Peking, and Dandan Universities, but it is still a traditional prestigious university.

Students trained by Nanjing University will not be much worse, and it is absolutely impossible to crush them in terms of command and tactics.

As everyone had predicted, Song Yun and Lü Wanyun faced a tremendous challenge right from the start.

Alakazam, the agile turret most adept at mental attacks, lost its usual offensive capabilities. Under Lv Wanyun's command, it fired Psychic Beam at Rhyperior. At the opponent's command, Houndoom directly blocked the Psychic Beam, taking the attack without sustaining any damage.

Although the energy beam had some impact, it was nothing.

Houndoom countered with a move that countered the Psychic-type Dark Pulse, forcing Alakazam to use Teleport to dodge.

Alakazam's Teleport ability is quite agile, but Charizard isn't so lucky.

Neither Flying nor Fire-type moves were very effective, forcing Charizard to use Dragon Claw and other moves to deal damage. However, since it is not a Mega Evolution, it does not have the Dragon type and without the support of its STAB, it cannot break through Rhyperior's thick defense.

Conversely, Charizard can only dodge the Rock Blast attack from Rhyperior, and if it gets hit by it, which is four times weak to Rock, it will be seriously injured.

Taking advantage of their rank, Lü Wanyun and Song Yun commanded their spirits to fight tenaciously against their opponents.

“We’re going to lose…”

Qin Ming, who had been observing the battle, silently shook his head. A battle where one's attributes are completely countered is truly too difficult.

As Qin Ming had predicted, Charizard, despite its efforts to dodge, was still hit by Rhyperior's Rock Blast, suffering four times the damage and immediately losing a significant amount of stamina.

Meanwhile, Houndoom, who had used a surprise attack, also located Alakazam and completed the attack.

"The doubles match is over, and Nanjing University is the winner!!"

As the referee announced the result, applause erupted from the audience.

Although Song Yun and Lü Wanyun lost the match, the audience could clearly see that the two women did not give up at all, even though their opponents had a disadvantage in attributes, and they tried their best to command the battle on the field.

The audience could feel their spirit of never giving up. They lost the game not because they didn't try, but because they were too restrained by their opponents. They all applauded and encouraged them.

Although the audience at the scene understood that it was understandable for Song Yun and her team to lose the game, the two girls who returned to the Shenzhen University team looked dejected. Losing the game on their home turf was undoubtedly a huge blow to the morale of the team.

"If it were someone else, being so restrained would probably cause them to lose their composure at the very beginning of the match, resulting in an early defeat!"

"Actually, you've done very well. Your opponents only managed a pyrrhic victory despite having so many advantages!"

Qin Ming was the first to stand up and comfort the two disappointed women: "Don't dwell on the defeat you just suffered, and don't keep thinking about it."

"Let go of the past, for it will only obscure your future. Regret will hold you back. Only by striving with unwavering faith will you become stronger!"

Song Yun raised her head and met Qin Ming's sincere gaze. To her, nothing was more important than gaining Qin Ming's approval. Her bright eyes shone with excitement as she nodded vigorously and responded affirmatively, "Thank you, Qin Ming!!"

"You're welcome," Qin Ming replied with a smile.

"That's right, you all did a great job just now!"

Luo Yongbin also comforted Lü Wanyun, who was standing next to him: "Perhaps our words don't count, but you should have heard the applause from the audience. That's the audience recognizing your efforts!"

"That's right, it's just one point, it's not like we lost the game!!"

"Don't rush, we still have a chance!!"

"It's okay, senior!!"

Nong Junzhe and the others also offered words of comfort. With the encouragement of their teammates, the two women's spirits improved considerably, and their previously low morale was also boosted to some extent.

However, Guo Jianguo, the teacher leading the team from Shenzhen University, was filled with worry.

Yes, losing the opening doubles match isn't a big deal, and it's not the first time we've been behind at the start, but this time seems a little different.

Boom! !

Boom! !

A series of loud noises emanated from the scene, as the original battle arena was being transformed. The rocky terrain from the previous doubles match had been replaced by a water-filled battleground.

The moment the venue change was completed, the host's voice rang out: "Please, both players in the singles match, come to the battlefield and prepare."

As a member of the singles team, Qin Ming stood up voluntarily; "Counselor, it's my turn to go on stage."

"Um…"

Guo Jianguo wanted to say something, but seeing Nanjing University's star player Yang Wenhan already on the court, he dispelled his worries and cheered, "Qin Ming, take this point in singles!!"

"Uh-huh!"

Qin Ming left everyone with a confident smile before walking towards the battlefield.

"Yang Wenhan, captain of the Nanjing University team, led Nanjing University to the top four in the university league last year."

"Despite not having graduated yet, this highly capable individual has already become a member of the Jiangsu Training Association, and it's rumored that he has received an invitation to potentially join the Jiangsu Training Association's Special Operations Team in the future!!"
