Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

The Buffalo with the Afro Hair has a powerful attack called "Afro Hair Assault" with a power of 120 points.

In addition, its own "self-sacrifice" characteristic will greatly enhance the power of its damage-reflecting moves.

Alakazam's fragile body would suffer enormous damage even if it managed to withstand the attack.

however.

Despite the relentless attacks from the opposing side, Hudi remained unmoved.

They could even take advantage of this brief interval to use telepathy to comfort Latios and Togekiss, who were affected by the "provocation," together with Xia Yan.

because......

Hudi's figure blurred again.

Instead, there was Dorombalto standing upright!

Let's switch places!

Originating from the "Exchange Grounds" of Dorombalut!

The fourth core!

After a brief moment of astonishment upon seeing this, Qianli revealed a slightly helpless smile.

really.

The feeling he got when Draco and Beedrill switched positions just now wasn't a hallucination.

That move was performed by Dorambaruto himself.

Two sharp arrows shot out from the top of its head, hitting the head of the rampaging, afro-haired buffalo one after the other. While slowing it down, the buffalo did not retreat but instead swung its tail and charged straight at the attacker.

Along with them were the giant bee, whose wings vibrated with intense golden light.

For the average viewer, all they need to do at this moment is keep exclaiming in amazement.

The positions of the Pokémon on the field change too quickly.

But no matter how it changes.

Xia Yan's spirits successfully thwarted Qianli's surprise attack.

But for those who can understand it.

The meaning is different.

"Quad-core..."

In the lounge, Watari murmured to himself.

Qianli had actually made sufficient preparations for Xia Yan.

In particular, the fact that the "Leave King" possessed a double "provocation" was something Xia Yan absolutely could not have imagined.

What kind of tactic is this?

Qianli's own team doesn't have much synergy. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a one-shot, aggressive lineup. He needs to gain enough advantage during the initial attack, ideally taking down one of Xia Yan's key players, which will make the later stages of the game easier.

To put it simply, it means bringing Xia Yan to the same level as him without a complex system, and then using his rich experience in strong attacks and the overall strength of the Pokémon to achieve victory.

but.

No one thought of it.

The Dragon Balto that Xia Yan had never used was actually his hidden fourth core.

Such a change.

The Thousand-Mile Charge Bear, the Starhawk, and the Afro-Headed Buffalo charged into the opponent's encirclement without causing any real damage, but only put themselves in a very dangerous situation.

It's like Olaf using his ultimate ability in a game, and his teammates tell him that none of the opponents have Flash, so he chases after them relentlessly, only to find that all five opponents have Flashed, making him look like a complete idiot and ending up in the enemy's encirclement.

"Is this Xia Yan's hidden trump card? Why didn't he show it when he played the exhibition match against Kikuko?"

Daigo couldn't help but complain as well.

“I already said it’s an exhibition match,” Kona replied softly.

They were all surprised by the "four-core" system that Xia Yan was presenting.

Does this mean we've built a quad-core system?

No.

At best, it's a pseudo-quad-core. Like Draven and Togekiss, it hasn't had enough time to gel and train, and it can't reach the level of Alakazam and Latios.

However, the lack of adjustment period only applies now. Xia Yan's path and direction are already very clear, and he just needs to follow the steps.

Moreover.

Even a "pseudo-quad-core" is still a quad-core!

The four Pokémon with the "Try Change" move completely extinguished the idea of ​​those who wanted to use "Taunt" to break the game, just like Senri did.

after all.

Not everyone can be like Qianli's Leave King, who can provoke two opponents at once.

No one would bring four provocative Pokémon with them.

Even if it exists.

The brief interval between using "Provocation" gives Xia Yan enough time to unleash a powerful attack and wipe out one or two of your Pokémon.

and so.

There's no need to think about asking Slaking and Hyperactive Ape to provoke him again and control all of Xia Yan's Pokémon.

It's not that I don't want to.

Rather, it's not possible.

The time for them to once again "provoke" is approaching.

Believe it or not, Xia Yan's Pokémon could wipe out Qianli's three Pokémon with lightning speed.

Even if Xia Yan's system is ultimately destroyed in a 6 vs. 3 situation.

Even three elves couldn't withstand the combined attack of six elves.

"Perhaps... this isn't all of Xia Yan..."

Seeing that the crowd had just suppressed their shock, Cynthia gave them a timely reminder.

Not yet?

The people in the lounge remained silent for a long time.

It's not impossible, given Xia Yan's personality.

The League's high-ranking officials, who were selecting the four Elite Four from the Johto region, were also surprised.

"It's quad-core now..."

The person speaking glanced, intentionally or unintentionally, at the middle-aged man with black hair sitting in the head seat.

of course.

The others also had various expressions.

Igor, however, was the one who smiled the most happily.

On the field.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

A strong offensive lineup.

Its biggest weakness is that it is difficult to build a multi-core system.

Because every Pokémon here is a powerful attacker, and you need to maximize its damage output.

However, Qianli was well prepared.

Although he doesn't have a very mature system, the Mk Eagle's "intimidation" is a system of its own, which barely makes up for this.

Moreover, he had also figured out a way to break Xia Yan's system.

As long as we can tactically bring Xia Yan down to his level.

He could defeat Xia Yan with his rich experience.

pity.

No matter how well you calculate it.

It's hard to say what Xia Yan was hiding.

The Hawk is alright.

Even after passing through Dorombalto.

As long as they kept moving, they quickly crossed the halfway point and did not get surrounded.

But charging straight at a bear isn't so pleasant.

Starting with "Belly Drum" is very risky. Although "Belly Drum" maximizes Ursaring's physical attack, it hits Aegislash's shield and instead of dealing much damage, it knocks itself quite hard.

the most important is.

At this moment, it was surrounded by Aegislash and Alakazam.

Clang—!

The sword is drawn.

Intertwined with wisps of cold sword energy, the ghost-type energy that enveloped it shouldn't have posed much of a threat to the Normal-type Ursaring.

When the substance comes into contact with the bear's fur, it vanishes silently, like a bubble.

and.

A huge, virtual blue sword shadow surrounded the sword, interspersed with a hint of verdant fluorescence and wisps of swirling black mist.

Holy Sword Slash!

boom--!!
