Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

In terms of attributes, it is completely countered.

There's no way to fight.

This is also the most awkward situation for some trainers who specialize in a certain type of Pokémon.

When encountering an opponent whose attributes are completely countered, there is almost no chance of turning the tide.

Even someone like Lance finds it extremely troublesome when encountering Lorelei, who is weak to Ice-type, though this is partly due to her being severely weak to Ice-type.

But this also illustrates the awkwardness of having only one attribute.

As Xia Yan had predicted, they were given the "simple mode" script.

After Kona finished.

It was Xia Yan's match.

And his opponent...

"First of all, let's welcome the Elite Four member from the Sinnoh region, Elite Four member Natsuhiko!!"

It was still that familiar host.

As he finished speaking, Xia Yan slowly walked out from the contestant passage.

Looking towards the players' tunnel on the other side.

Cheers erupted.

The first round match between Xia Yan and Ma Zhishi was one of the more exciting games.

Xia Yan's tactics were the first to catch the audience and the host off guard.

Now he's back on the scene.

The audience is eagerly anticipating what kind of lineup Xia Yan will bring today.

It's okay if you don't understand it.

As long as it's good, that's enough.

"Next, let's welcome the young fighter from the distant town of Hualang in the Galar region, Dante—!!"

Galar region?

Hualang Town?

This is the second time I've heard this introduction; the first time I thought I misheard.

The cheers paused briefly.

Everyone is thinking.

Does this region exist?

however.

When they saw Dante dressed in a handsome outfit that resembled that of a football player, but with a large red cape over his head, cheers erupted once again.

They knew Dante.

I've seen it on TV many times.

The advertisements pasted on his cloak were the best proof of his identity.

Countless flashes went off on him.

Dandi fully demonstrated the professionalism expected of a brand ambassador, pulling his cape to the front and pausing in motion.

After the flashes gradually subsided.

He pulled hard.

Then it was thrown into the air.

A handsome pose and appearance.

It is even better than the ferry crossing.

Some of the female viewers gasped in surprise.

Many viewers who hadn't seen the first round stared at Dan Di's stubble-covered face and couldn't help but think:

'Is this a young trainer?'

Unfortunately, compared to Dan Di's age, he does look a bit older.

After throwing off his cloak and pulling off his hat, Dan Di stared intently at Xia Yan.

to be frank.

He encountered Xia Yan in the second round.

This is not a good thing for Dan Di.

But he still couldn't contain his excitement.

Ever since he lost to Xia Yan in the gym in Random Town, Dan has wanted to have a full-team battle with Xia Yan more than once.

did not expect.

This dream was actually realized at the Masters tournament.

Winning or losing is no longer important to him.

He just wanted to enjoy his match against Xia Yan.

As Lance and Daigo left the lounge, Lance's envious gazes pleased Dan.

"Xia Yan, I've been looking forward to this match for a long time."

Upon reaching the battlefield, Dan Di clenched his hands tightly and exclaimed excitedly.

Xia Yan smiled.

I hope I won't let you down.

This schedule is indeed very interesting.

The referee's flag, held atop a fire-breathing dragon, was suddenly raised horizontally.

"Xia Yan, please summon your Pokémon first!"

The summoning rules remain the same: one two two one and two two two.

Xia Yan showed no intention of changing his tactics; the first one he summoned was still Beedrill.

"Hiss!"

After the previous battle against Lt. Surge, some people who didn't know Xia Yan well before dared not underestimate this rather common Beedrill anymore.

Its speed is absolutely the fastest among all the Pokémon that some people have ever seen.

Without slow-motion replays, some people might not even know where the Beedrill appeared from beginning to end.

They encountered Xia Yan's Beedrill.

Dan Di's expression hardened slightly, but he became increasingly excited.

Xia Yan summoning Beedrill meant that he had no intention of holding back.

This is the greatest respect we can show to Dan Di.

Immediately, he also threw out two Poké Balls.

Two elves appeared amidst the red light.

"Roar--!!"

The enormous, scaled orange cattail spread its wings wide, and a burst of crimson flame shot up into the sky.

The other one is a humanoid rabbit-shaped elf with a pair of white furry ears. Like Leon, it is dressed as a soccer player and is hopping back and forth on its legs, looking like it can't sit still.

"Leon's two Pokémon are Charizard and Cinderace!!"

The host enthusiastically promoted the message.

And among the audience.

Some of them have already seen Dan's Blazing Ace.

However, a considerable number of them have never been seen.

After all, the first round lasted for so many days, and it wasn't possible to get tickets every day.

This is yet another wave of promotion for the Pokémon of the Galar region.

Two Fire-type Pokémon, and Charizard is both a Fire and Flying type.

It has a good ability to counter Bug-type Beedrill.

'Leon's Cinderace has the 'Freelance' ability, right?'

He didn't watch the matches from a few days ago.

But we did manage to gather some information.

Especially their group.

after all.

Cross those guys.

He was always thinking about getting rid of him.

Freelancer: Before using a move, their own attributes are changed to the attributes of the move being used.

In fact, the "Free Spirit" trait is not the same as the "Alter" trait of Greninja, one of the starter Pokémon in the Kalos region; in fact, it is exactly the same.

It's just a name change.

The name "Libero" may be derived from the "libero" position in football.

As for the fire-breathing dragon...

Needless to say.

Dante's trump card.
