Chapter 57: A Major Tactical Victory

Chen Mu wasn't in a hurry at all.

Although he would occasionally issue instructions to change tactics mid-game or push the limits of reaction time, the overall pace remained steady.

He was calmly and patiently chatting with Yue Yibula.

Using softness to overcome hardness, it continuously neutralized Umbreon's fierce attacks.

He hasn't even tried to get Ralts to attack once so far; he hasn't used a single attack move.

Although the output is zero, the incredibly slippery combat experience is gradually wearing down Umbreon's patience.

Despite this, Ibrahimovic still holds the advantage in terms of overall form, attributes, and attacking desire on the field.

However, this kind of overwhelming advantage that fails to effectively end the opponent's battle can sometimes be more frustrating than a purely disadvantageous duel.

As time went by, Umbreon inevitably became a little impatient.

Finally, after being forced back by Ralts's "Hypnosis" once again, Umbreon thought of a different move.

He also needs to change his approach.

The upper body is lowered, the buttocks are raised, and the tail is held high and swayed rapidly from side to side.

Skill - Tail wagging.

It's a very basic move that many Pokémon know, but precisely because it's so basic, its effect is negligible, so very few Pokémon use it in battle.

But at this moment, Umbreon was really forced into a corner.

The effect of wagging the tail is to lower the defense of opponents who see this move.

Umbreon's attack was weakened by Ralts's "Adorable" right from the start, and since it had no way to remove this negative status, it could only think in reverse and try to mitigate the effect by lowering the opponent's defense.

Umbreon's thinking was simple—even if Ralts had healing abilities, as long as it weakened the opponent's defense to the point where it could be knocked down in one hit, then all of the opponent's maneuvering would be rendered useless!

The idea itself is correct.

It's a pity that they still lack a bit of cunning and shrewdness compared to humans!

The decisive moment that Chen Mu had been waiting for was now!

He almost clenched his fist in excitement.

Right now—

"Ralts, use 'One More Time'!"

Yuzuru, standing on the sidelines, thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

He already knew Ralts had this move.

They also guessed that the witty Chen Mu would most likely choose to formulate tactics around this move.

Such a sophisticated move truly taught the innocent and naive wild Umbreon a lesson.

Skill: One more time, the effect is self-explanatory.

Invite your opponent to try again using a special gesture or posture.

Its effect is to force an opponent who sees this move to repeatedly use the same skill for a period of time!

Even in professional competitions, this move is a classic skill that has a high usage rate and receives polarized opinions.

We successfully executed "Open Again": a divine move, brilliant and unparalleled, demonstrating the strategic brilliance of a master tactician!

The enemy successfully used "Buy Again": a dirty trick, utterly despicable, a shameless scoundrel who tarnishes the spirit of dueling!

Human nature can be so double-standard sometimes.

Umbreon was caught off guard by this attack and was momentarily stunned.

Because this technique is almost useless for hunting in the wild, he usually has no chance of encountering it in the forest or grassland.

The moment he was bitten, he blinked blankly and wagged his tail.

He quickly realized the merits of this move—

Umbreon's last move was "Tail Wag," so its energy is now locked and can only be channeled to its tail!

He found that he could only continue using "tail wagging" for the time being, and he couldn't use any other moves!

"scare!"

When Umbreon realized this, its eyes widened in shock.

And this is precisely the decisive opportunity that Chen Mu has been searching for!

"Ralts, use Meditation on the spot!"

Now, Umbreon, which can only wag its tail repeatedly, is no longer able to stop Ralts from completing its Meditation Enhancement!

Seeing this, the three children on the sidelines finally realized that things were turning around.

"Wow~!!" Minami exclaimed in surprise.

Even the usually aloof Qinglian blushed with excitement as she exclaimed, "We're going to win!"

Of the three, Hidemasa Kurosaki, who had done the most research on Pokémon battles, was utterly shocked.

"So that's how it was solved? That's incredible!"

A meticulously planned operation, a tactical victory!

Yuzhen exclaimed, "I never imagined that Teacher Chen was such a skilled fighter!"

Even at this moment, Umbreon on the field was still completely unharmed.

But that's the beauty of tactics!

We don't pursue temporary regeneration, but only plan for a fleeting finality!

"Use meditation again!"

The effects of the second round weren't over yet, so Chen Mu boldly gave the order, allowing Ralts to meditate twice more in a row.

Special attacks have been enhanced twice, nearly doubling in power!

Umbreon has no way to deal with this.

All he can do now is stick his butt out and keep wagging his tail.

But he stopped doing that.

There was no escape, no circling, no pulling.

Instead, he stood there with a look of satisfaction on his face.

She waited until Ralts finished strengthening before coming forward, gently embracing his cheeks, and lightly kissing his forehead.

Fairy-type move: Absorb Kiss!

Ralts, having endured until now, finally unleashed her first attack of the entire battle.

One strike—

Reinvented!

Fairy-type moves are also effective against Dark-type moves, making this move incredibly effective!

Despite managing to maintain his standing position thanks to his exceptionally high durability, Umbreon's father still managed to stumble slightly.

He then looked towards the sidelines.

My daughter has long since abandoned her obedience and is now jumping up and doing somersaults in celebration, wagging her tail happily.

The elderly father felt inexplicably weary, yet also somewhat gratified.

He swayed from side to side a few times to steady his slightly weak legs, and nodded to Chen Mu, who had been directing from a distance.

"Waaah."

I accept you, human.

Chen Mu smiled with relief and quickly ordered, "Alright, Ralts, release him, and then use Life Drop to heal him."

Seeing that Ralts had started treating its old father after the battle, Eevee finally realized what was happening and quickly suppressed its excitement.

Then, somewhat timidly, it trotted over, approached Umbreon's side, and cautiously nuzzled Umbreon's chin.

blinking, trying to get away with being cute.

Umbreon shook its head in annoyance and gently tapped Eevee's head with its long ears.

It's like scolding someone: You tattered, leaky cotton-padded coat!

But then, he squatted down on the spot, reluctantly sticking out his tongue to lick Little Eevee's face and ears again and again.

It was as if they were saying their final goodbye.

This heartwarming scene prompted the three children to exclaim, "This is such a beautiful sight!"

After a brief moment of warmth, Kurosaki Hidemasa suddenly snapped back to reality and asked, "Teacher Chen...did you win?"

"Yes, we won," Yuzuru answered confidently.

At that moment, Hidemasa Kurosaki seemed to be in a daze.

Recalling the countless failed attempts at capturing and battling these past few days, and then seeing Chen Mu's magnificent tactical victory in front of him, clearing the game in one go!

The boy was filled with mixed feelings.

It truly proves the old saying—

While a friend's failure certainly makes us sad, their seemingly within-reach success can sometimes be even more heartbreaking...
