Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

"I lost?"

The gentle girl was dumbfounded as she watched the Thunder Sprite fly backwards and remain motionless.

No, is that Bosscodora a steel hedgehog?

How come after being hit by thunder, not only was it not injured, but its own Jolteon was also exhausted?

Then, it even KO'd its own Jolteon, which had double the resistance to Steel-type attacks, with a single move.

Is this something that could actually happen?

..............................

Equally stunned was the captain of Pinghu University, the girl with the ponytail.

"Something's not right, this shouldn't be, this isn't my plan..."

She stared at the Bosscodora in the arena, which had stomped so many holes in the ground, with an expression of utter disbelief.

According to her plan, the Thunder Spirit should use Thunder to take down at least two of the opponent's opponents before it gloriously leaves the field due to exhaustion.

How did it end so quickly?

Also, when did Aggron's Special Defense become so high?

Taking a jolt of thunder is like just getting a static shock.

It's too exaggerated!

However, she changed her mind again.

Does this mean that this Aggron is a special defensive unit specially bred by Muyun?

If that's the case, doesn't it mean that Aggron's physical defense isn't actually that high?

If that's the case, an Aggron that's four times stronger in both Fighting and Ground types can be easily defeated by simply sending in a physical attacker who knows Fighting-type moves.

Thinking of this, she immediately perked up.

"Next time, I'll take the stage!"

After saying that, amidst the puzzled looks of the other team members, the girl with the ponytail stood up and left with a proud and confident air.

"Has the captain lost his mind?"

"I don't know, maybe they've figured out a way to break the deadlock."

"Don't you laugh when you say that?"

..............................

"So this is Mu Yun's tactic? By making a brilliant judgment of the situation, he discovered the weakness in the Thunder Strike technique and broke through it in one fell swoop!"

On the commentary stage, male commentator Liu Liu praised in an enthusiastic tone.

"A brilliant judgment? Did Mu Yun say anything?"

"I don't know. Also, what's the telltale sign of thunder?"

"That's understandable. Otherwise, he'd be a professional commentator, and Mu Yun a professional trainer!"

Many non-professional trainers in the audience didn't know whether Liu Liu was telling the truth or not; they only knew that Mu Yun was really strong.

"Sixth Brother, how did Mu Yun discover the flaw in the lightning strike?" the female commentator Nini asked curiously in a low voice.

To her surprise, Liu Liu just glanced at her speechlessly and said, "How would I know? I'm just a commentator, my job is to create atmosphere."

If he knew, why would he bother with the explanations?

Why not go compete and make a name for yourself?

Nini: ......

Is this the "skill" of a professional commentator? I've learned something!

Amidst the discussions and reflections, Pinghu University's second contestant also stepped onto the command platform.

Mu Yun wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the girl with the ponytail had a smile on her lips and a smug look in her eyes that said, "I see right through you."

So, what kind of killer move is this?

Mu Yun was very curious.

"Blue team player, please release your Pokémon!"

Awesome!

A blue-skinned, tall and slender elf with wave-like patterns on its body appeared on one side of the arena.

【Elf: Carnival Dance Duck】

Gender: Male

[Attribute: Water + Fighting]

[Level: 63 (Gym Level)]

【Item to carry: Mysterious Water Drop (Advanced)】

[Potential: King-level]

[Racial stats: 530]

..............................

"this one?"

Mu Yunzai carefully examined the panel of the Carnival Dance Duck.

Its level is very high, reaching the mid-stage of the Dojo level, and its potential is also good, reaching the Elite Four level. Its move pool is also very rich, and its proficiency is also quite high.

It even carried a high-level water-attribute treasure.

But, given all that, how did this ponytail girl become so confident?

Mu Yun didn't understand, but he still sent a telepathic message to Xiao Tie, telling him to be more careful.

The opponent must have something special to be able to take the captaincy of Pinghu University.

It's hard to say whether it's some unique tactic or combat technique.

"Pata!!"

Upon hearing Mu Yun's warning to be more careful, Xiao Tie immediately felt the pressure.

He immediately used Iron Wall again.

Because I had already applied a lot of buffs to myself, the Iron Wall was cast a little slower this time.

This was spotted by the ponytail girl who had been staring at Aggron.

"As expected, this Aggron only has good Special Defense, but its Physical Defense is weak. Otherwise, it wouldn't have used Iron Defense immediately after seeing my Carnival Dance Duck!"

Thinking of this, the girl with the ponytail smiled even more broadly.

"Carnival Duck Dance, charge forward, and use close combat!"

"Gah!"

Fighting-type energy quickly enveloped Carnival Duck, and the way it used its moves, just like its demeanor, was full of leisurely elegance.

To Xiao Tie, this scene made him think that his opponent was a formidable foe.

To be on the safe side, Xiao Tie secretly hardened again.

Four Iron Walls, two Hardening spells, and one curse spell finally gave Little Iron a semblance of security.

Considering that Brother Dugu once said that offense is the best defense.

He didn't just wait idly; instead, while the frenzied dancing ducks gathered momentum, he simultaneously mobilized the energy within his body.

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, Xiao Tie immediately used his strongest combination technique.

It can simultaneously benefit from the power boost of its own type moves, the power boost of Steel-type moves, the power boost of Normal-type moves, the power boost of Steel-type Energy, and the power boost of Normal-type Energy.

A powerful, simultaneous attack – a massive slam!

At the same time, the Carnival Dance Duck, having gathered its strength for close combat, approached first.

The small iron, having gathered its strength, also charged forward head-on.

The small iron, which was not fast to begin with, suddenly burst out with a considerable speed thanks to the double boost of the speed attribute from the heavy impact and the violent collision.

This forced the Carnival Dance Duck, which originally did not want to confront Xiao Tie head-on, to face it directly.

Then.....

The dump truck is here!!

This is the only feeling the dancing duck had after being hit.

The feeling of being run over by a huge, heavy object almost knocked his soul out of his body.

If it weren't for the self-protection that comes with being near death, I'd probably be turned to mush by now.

"???"

Why isn't this Boss Dora afraid of my Carnival Dancing Duck's close-quarters combat?

And where is my huge, wildly dancing duck?

The girl with the ponytail blinked, looking bewildered in the wind.
