Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

The charred Mimikyu lay on the ground, unable to fight.

Mimikyu has lost its ability to fight!!!

The referee announced the result.

The battle, from start to finish, was very quick.

But the audience simply felt excited, invigorated, and thrilled.

"good."

Kikuko retracted her riddle and sighed.

Xia Yan nodded in response, not daring to show any pride.

"Now, as a teacher, you need to show your true skills," Kikuko reminded her.

Xia Yan: "..."

"Um, teacher, actually I think we don't have to..."

Before she could finish speaking, Kikuko summoned her third spirit.

"Damn it..." Xia Yan couldn't help but swear.

The old woman really got serious when things didn't go her way.

"Chaba—!!"

A giant purple python roared as it entered the arena.

Its tail lashed violently against the ground, causing the specially designed arena to groan under the strain.

Its dense, dark purple scales gleamed, its sharp, triangular eyes were filled with a chilling, venomous aura, and the patterns on its belly were unusually vibrant.

As the fiery red snake's tongue flickered in and out, a thin mist of poisonous vapor dissipated.

It leaves a faint fishy smell in the air.

Arbok!

One of Kiku's signature spirits!

Although Agatha is the Elite Four member of the Ghost type, Poison-type Pokémon are also one of her specialties.

If it weren't for the immense fame of her "Ghost Army," Kikuko, when she first became one of the Four Heavenly Kings, might have been called the "Poison Queen."

King-level!

Moreover, they should be the kind of "King-level" players who are only one step away from becoming champions.

"Elite Four member Akiko's third Pokémon, one of her signature Pokémon, Arbok—!!"

boom--

The crowd erupted in cheers once again.

at last.

Is this finally going to be serious?

Although they were also thrilled by the previous battles.

However, compared to a true battle between Heavenly Kings, they still prefer to watch this.

"Kikuko-sensei, you're really serious now..."

In the audience, Watari murmured to himself.

"Just looking at it makes me feel like I'm going to be swallowed whole," Kona commented, shrinking her neck.

Kikuko has long held considerable power in the Kanto region, and most of the younger generation are afraid of her.

Du gave her a disgruntled look.

"Of course, the 'intimidation' feature."

Kona immediately glared back.

"Why don't I see that person's 'intimidation' trait is this powerful?"

Du decisively chose to keep quiet.

"Which one will Natsuhiko send? Beedrill, which is also a Poison-type, is a good choice," Daigo guessed.

Cynthia shook her head.

"The mixed battle that follows is the key to this exhibition match. Beedrill, as Xia Yan's strongest attacker, should not be sent out here."

Correct.

The current rotation games are just an appetizer at best.

The subsequent mixed battles are the key to determining the quality of a superstar.

"I just didn't expect Kikuko-sensei to be so serious..."

On the field.

After staring at the Arbok for a moment, Xia Yan decisively took out a Poké Ball and recalled Infernape.

After a slight hesitation.

He made a judgment.

Throw out the Poké Ball.

Bang!

"Jehovah—!!"

Aegislash has arrived!

Upon seeing the Shielded Sword Monster, Wataru and the others' eyes lit up instantly.

"Xia Yan's Aegislash is already at the Elite Four level? That's where things get interesting."

Daigo nodded.

"Steel-type immune to poison, not bad."

"I don't think...it's that simple," Kona whispered.

Cynthia gave the composed Xia Yan a deep look.

Akiko's Arbok cannot be simply identified by its Poison-type Pokémon.

Although the Aegislash has an attribute advantage, the difference in strength cannot be ignored.

"Battle begins!"

"Shielded Sword Monster, Sword Dance!" Xia Yan seized the initiative this time.

Using "Sword Dance" right from the start is very bold.

the other side.

The snake-like markings on Arbok's abdomen underwent subtle changes, and its body began to writhe, releasing bursts of electricity.

Its supple body and smooth scales allowed it to quickly leave a winding trail on the ground.

Extremely fast!

"Cheers!"

In almost the blink of an eye, Arbok was in front of Aegislash.

"Snake pattern..."

Xia Yan's face darkened.

Is it really the Education Bureau?

The only difference is that he used to be the one teaching others, and now he is the one being taught.

Biting into the bright flames, it went straight for the shield-wielding sword monster that was surrounded by a continuous, clanging array of dark red swords.

Aegislash's "Swords Dance" is already quite fast, not much slower than Beedrill's, but Arbok's speed is simply too great with the help of Speed ​​Serpent.

As Arbok raised its head, the snake-like markings on its abdomen changed again, and its entire body seemed to swell up a bit.

Between the muscle fibers, there was an explosive power.

This move.

We have no choice but to accept it.

Only if Aegislash successfully uses Swords Dance to negate the effects of Intimidate and close the gap in attack power with Arbok will it have a chance to continue the battle.

Bang!

The "Flame Fang" snapped shut instantly.

Sharp teeth, burning with flames, bit into the shield of the Aegislash.

creak—

A harsh, teeth-grinding scraping sound rang out, accompanied by the red-hot half of the shield of the Shielded Sword Monster.

A look of surprise appeared in Arbok's eyes.

What a sturdy shield!

Excuse!

Despite the pain, Aegislash gathered its swords, its purple eyes on the hilts sweeping disdainfully at Arbok.

That's it?

Seeing the look in Aegislash's eyes, Arbok was still in a daze when Xia Yan patted his forehead.

Brother, at a time like this, you should stop using your supernatural powers.

pity.

Arbok realized what was happening.

A flame instantly ignited in his eyes.
