Pokémon: Trainers Returning from Monster Hunter

"In that case, let them witness the power of fire."

Aysa pointed a finger from afar.

"Platypus, Flame Breath!"

Sensing the power of the opponent's combo attack, the Magmar's expression gradually turned serious.

The flames on its tail suddenly brightened, and a roaring fire accumulated in its beak.

With a slight bulge in its abdomen, flames shot out of its mouth in a trumpet shape.

Originally, the power of the New Leaf Cat's leaves alone would have been completely crushed by this raging flame.

However, in reality, under the protection of the illusion beam technique, a fierce collision sound was heard the moment the two met!

boom!!

A wave of heat swept across the entire venue.

Ralts' green hair fluttered, revealing its red eyes filled with a serious expression.

[It's a well-known fact that the left side of a match always loses!]

Don't make me laugh, you little brats think you can win by combining your moves?

[My wife's eyes are so determined!!]

"Ta-da! Time for some amazing science stories!"

Seeing that some viewers didn't quite understand the difficulty of the combo moves, Qishu began to explain it in a peculiar way.

"In fact, combining different Pokémon moves in battle is very difficult, especially combining moves of different types."

"If they are moves of the same attribute, they may intertwine and merge because their energy frequencies are the same, but moves of different attributes require strong control and tacit understanding between them."

"Otherwise, the different energies between the two techniques will clash first, causing the combination to fail."

After finishing his explanation, Qishu paused for a moment before adding more details.

"I wonder if there are any viewers in the live stream who watched when Oreki challenged the Azalea Gym Leader at the Rock Gym."

"After my explanation and review, I found that the purple membrane that appeared on Xinye Miao at that time should be a manifestation of the external release of superpower attributes."

"Presumably, Oreki-senpai's Nekomamushi possesses strong psychic abilities, which would allow it to be somewhat compatible with Ralts' Psychic Beam move!"

It's no wonder she's such a young girl who passed Yaji's test and became a dojo master.

Qishu has demonstrated exceptional expertise in both Pokémon battles and theoretical knowledge.

[Please type "professional" in the chat]

[So this is why most Pokémon battles are currently singles?]

[The streamer mentioned it and it reminded me, everyone, don't forget that Oreki-sensei also has an inexplicable burn combo.]

[Burns? Duck Brother bathes in lava every day, you're talking about burns?]

"While burns don't work on Fire-type Pokémon, who knows if Oreki-senpai can make other special dishes with different effects!"

Unlike the comments, Kiki had a lot of confidence in Origaki; she always thought this legendary senior was really amazing.

They always manage to do things unexpectedly.

Hopefully this time will be the same!

While Qishu was interacting with the bullet comments, Xinye Miao and Ralts on the field exchanged several more long-range attacks with Magmar.

Although the Duckbill Firebeast held a firm advantage, it did not present an overwhelming advantage as the viewers in the live stream had imagined.

This alone is enough to demonstrate the strength of Nemo and Ralts.

And the ability to cultivate origami.

Especially Du Juan.

Her feelings were the most direct.

After all, just a week ago she had battled against Newleafy, a Pokémon that was still a beginner.

Based on her current performance, she even suspects that the new Leafy Cat from a week ago was deliberately hiding her strength.

Otherwise, this rate of growth is simply terrifying!

Is Oreki-sensei really just a history teacher?

Du Juan was filled with doubt.

Another person who shared the same doubts was Aysa, who commanded the Duckbill Fire Beast.

Heaven and earth conscience.

At first, she thought that even if she sent out her ace Duckbill Fire Beast, she wouldn't make it take the battle too seriously.

After all, the primary responsibility of the League's officially certified gyms is to select talent for the League Conference.

Therefore, even if some novice trainers want to challenge Pokémon stronger than their own training level, these gym leaders will only win by relying on their battle strategies and command abilities.

Rather than the overwhelming advantage of Pokémon's own breeding level.

But as the battle progressed, Aysa was surprised to discover...

You can't judge your teacher and his Pokémon by common sense!

Grass-type and Psychic-type moves can be combined at will.

The incredible stamina of Nerubian and Ralts is so exaggerated that even Magmar feels pressured by it.

Is this a rookie trainer?

Is this a new Pokémon?!

"Duckbill Firebeast, stop exchanging blows! Dodge and use Fire Wheel!"

Asha decided to change her tactics.

Sensing the trainer's serious tone, Magmar understood.

After leaping up suddenly, it curled up into a ball in mid-air.

bass!

Flames suddenly erupted, and the body began to spin rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the duck-billed fire beast seized the initiative, turning from passively receiving attacks into actively launching them.

"Go! Duckbill Firebeast!"

Without Aysa giving much command, the Duckbill Firebeast aimed at Newleaf Meow and charged straight at it.

With double the restraint, if it hits, New Leafy's small body will definitely be severely injured or even lose its ability to fight.

"It seems the opponent's patience and stamina have been worn down quite a bit. It's time for Shin-Ye-Nyan to show off the results of her training. Let's get running!"

Almost as soon as the thought of Oreki came to mind, Shin-chan wagged its tail and disappeared from the spot.

The speed was so fast that even the spinning firebeast was taken aback.

But soon, it found the new leaf cat again—circling around at an extremely fast speed in the distance.

Without the slightest hesitation, it gave chase.

It is very confident in the speed of its Flame Wheel; no Pokémon that is not known for its speed can outrun it.

The reason it didn't attack Ralts was that it knew Ralts would definitely use Instant Teleport.

It's difficult to hit without getting completely close.

This is the on-the-spot judgment of elite Pokémon.

"Ralts, use Psychic to lock onto Neoleaf's location, be ready to teleport there at any time, and clash head-on with your best moves!"

Oriki directed the operation methodically.

"it is good."

Ralts replied succinctly, slowly clenching her small pink fist, a flash of yellow electricity appearing briefly on it.

At this moment.

Even complete newcomers to the live stream knew that the battle was gradually becoming increasingly intense.

Whether it's Newleaf or Ralts, if Magmar finds an opportunity to get close, their fate will be dire.

As Aysa watched New Leaf Cat sprinting along its predetermined path across the field, a hint of doubt crossed her mind.

"Such an obvious trajectory, could it be a trap?"

"Even if it's luring the firebeast close, what makes it think it can withstand that fire wheel attack?"

While he was thinking, the Duckbill Fire Beast was less than five meters away from New Leaf Cat.

It also noticed that something was wrong with New Leaf Cat, but it wasn't afraid.

A mere flash of lightning with such power thinks it can collide with me?

If you don't get hurt, then my lava bath was for nothing!

Seeing that a collision was imminent, New Leaf Cat still did not dodge, and the Duckbill Fire Beast even wanted to ask a question.

Why not avoid it?

However, in the next instant...

A white figure forced its way into the sight of the duck-billed fire beast.

What followed was a small fist emitting yellow flames.

Ralts's Fire Punch?

Yellow flame?

No! This power!

The duck-billed fire beast tensed up, its sense of crisis rising sharply.

At this point in the battle, it was no longer able to forcibly control its strength.

Who said the other side is a baby Pokémon?!

The duckbill fire beast gritted its teeth and pushed the speed of its flame wheel to the limit.

Since that's the case, then let's talk about my 100% full power Flame Wheel!

At the same time, New Leafy stopped instantly, and clusters of deliberately compressed leaves formed between it and Ralts.

"what?"

Oreki, who was closely watching the battle, immediately noticed that the new Leafy's leaf-shaped moves seemed different this time.

They became denser and each leaf was covered with a thin purple film, making them look almost magical.

【Ding! 】

[Increased Felyne strength detected, searching for rewards... Please wait...]

[The reward has been issued. Please check your inventory.]

Increased strength?

Could it be that……

Oreki scanned it using the [Illustrated Guide].

"It really is a magic leaf."

There was no time for much thought; a clash of titans was imminent!

boom! !

Unlike the sound of waves crashing together, the sound of fists colliding was much deeper.

The situation on the field can change in an instant.

Not to mention the viewers in Qishu's live stream, even Qishu himself was a little confused.

It's not that she can't keep up with the pace of the competition, but rather that just a second ago she was hoping that Oreki-senpai could surprise her.

The next second, things really did take us by surprise.

Are the power of these two little ones' moves something that people of this age can possess?

Who else has a Ralts whose Instant Transmission move is specifically designed for close-quarters combat?

Didn't we agree before the competition that it would be all girls?

[After a week's absence, Xin Ye Miao's speed has become even more outrageous.]

[This Ralts is so fierce? Hey you, the one calling for your wife, are you sure you won't get domestic violence??]

[Oh, I get it, it's you, Ralts with the big root!]

After a brief pause, the barrage of comments surged into a new frenzy.

Longtime viewers are marveling at the rapid growth of the new Leafeon, while new viewers are discussing the even more exaggerated Ralts.

Although Gallade's evolution method has now been developed.

However, the "Awakening Stone" is not an easy item to obtain.

Therefore, the mainstream training direction for Ralts is still Gardevoir.

It's rare to see Ralts in close-quarters combat, so it naturally sparked a lot of discussion.

Looking at the screen full of comments, Qishu knew that everyone had subconsciously assumed that Oreki-senpai's Ralts was male and that he wanted to train it to evolve into Gallade.

"Cough cough."

She coughed softly and said.

"To be honest, the senior's Ralts is a girl."

[A tomboy?!]

[Hmm, just imagining Gardevoir attacking with Fire Punch... that scene...]

Am I the only one worried that this Ralts might get knocked unconscious?

Holy crap! He caught it?!

【？？？？？】

As the dust settled, the audience was able to see the result of the exchange.

Contrary to their expectations of a one-sided crushing victory, Ralts was currently locked in a bizarre standoff with the spinning Calabash.

Behind him was a large, compressed clump of purple leaves.

In front of him was a wildly spinning duck-billed fire beast.

As the midpoint, Ralts held her right fist, which was flaming with yellow flames, firmly blocking the attack of the Duckbill Firebeast, while her feet were deeply embedded in the magic leaf ball behind her.

If a sharp-eyed viewer observes closely, they will notice that the clump of leaves behind Ralts is fluctuating at a peculiar frequency.

"This is…"

"Relief?!!" ×3

The three young women who run the venue spoke almost in unison.

Immediately, Aysa gave the order to change tactics.

"Duckbill Firebeast, we'll use Fire Punch too."

"Ralts, Meowth, let's give it our all!"

Oreki's command followed closely behind.

He shouted those words out loud.

There was no other way; the atmosphere had reached this point, and he felt he had to shout to maintain his momentum.

The two had barely finished speaking.

The scenario that Aysa envisioned—the Duckbill Fire Beast using the rebound force of its Flame Wheel to create distance and build up power for its Flame Punch—did not happen immediately.

Instead, Ralts moved sideways first, slightly retracting its right fist while simultaneously throwing a left punch at Magmar's side.

Even with Newleafy controlling Magic Leaf to provide Ralts with assistance, Magmortar managed to pull away a little.

However, it was all too late.

The high-damage left fist was already close at hand.

He had no choice but to hold back his Flame Fist and block it with a cross-shaped formation at his sides.

boom!

After another muffled thud, full of violent aesthetics, the duck-billed firebeast was sent flying backward.

It was faster than his own fire wheel.

"How could this be..."

Asha frowned.

"Firebill Beast, are you alright?"

"Hoo-hoo..."

The duckbill fire beast shook its head with a pained expression.

Just as it stood up, several lightning-shaped arcs of electricity suddenly appeared on its body, causing it to stagger again.

"Paralysis?? How is this possible!"

For the first time since the start of the battle, Aysa showed an expression of disbelief.

Dude, what's the connection between "Fire Punch" and "Paralysis"?

then.

A sentence from Du Juan suddenly popped into her mind.

"Sasa, let me tell you, you absolutely mustn't underestimate Oreki-sensei. Can you believe that his Shin-chan cat managed to scratch my Nosecat?"

At the time, Aysa was only slightly shocked and surprised.

But that's about it.

Anyway, the burn status doesn't work on her Pokémon.

Although she couldn't understand it, she expressed her respect.

In the end, you're telling me it turned into "paralysis"?

And most importantly.

She discovered that this "paralysis" was different from what she usually experienced.

Whose "paralysis" ability not only restricts movement but also drains health?!

Is your "paralysis" legal?

numb……

Aysa almost couldn't help but swear.

"Body of Flames," please save me!

However, dramatically...

Everyone in the venue except her, including the viewers in the live broadcast room, was someone who had watched Oreki's last match.

Everyone's reaction was—

Just as I expected!

[Unable to get through to Oreki-sensei's arguments, he's practically unbeatable, even 9 out of 10.]

I have so much to complain about, but I don't know where to even begin.

【I'm not saying anything more, I'm buying it!】

[Host, could you explain this part in detail?]

"..."

Qi Shu said.

Huh? What? My eyes were playing tricks on me, I didn't see what was posted.

As the renowned mythologist Oreki once said, "Practice makes perfect."

Now, Du Juan, Qi Shu, and the viewers in the live stream have become familiar with each other.

As for whether they will be comfortable in the future, that depends on whether they will fight against Oreki.

Anyway, they knew that Aysa and the firebeast must be feeling uncomfortable right now.

On the field.

Oreki gave the duck-billed fire beast ample time to adapt, and only slowly gave the command after seeing it stand up straight again.

"Let's start a guerrilla war to buy time."
