Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

In the blink of an eye, it appeared beside the Growlithe that was charging at the front.

The "straight-through drill," surrounded by an earthy yellow halo, suddenly fell amidst the surrounding dark red airflow.

Arcanine reacted quickly, flames spilling from between its teeth, a hazy glow surrounding its sharp teeth, as it launched its "Flame Fang" attack.

really.

With Mewtwo's psychic powers, Blaine and its Pokémon reacted much faster.

Beedrill's speed is not difficult for them to catch.

boom!!

The clash between "straight-through drill" and "flame tooth".

but.

Beedrill, relying on its own strength, move type, and the advantage of "Swords Dance", managed to knock Arcanine away.

Just the next moment.

A blinding beam of light shot out from behind Arcanine, the light seemingly carrying immense heat.

It's Paraster's "Sunbeam"!

hum!

The bee's shape was indistinct.

In the distorted space, the Shield and Sword Monster was quietly replaced.

The King's Shield completely blocked Paraster's Sunbeam.

With a whimper, the slender Nine-Tailed Fox swung its nine tails, flames rising from its toes, and nimbly and gracefully attacked the Shielded Sword Monster.

"Chocolate!"

Seeing this, Togekiss flapped its wings and unleashed an "Air Slash" to block Nine-Tails' path, giving Aegislash time to disappear into the shadows.

"Dorambaruto, stealthy attack!"

Xia Yan frowned and spoke in a low voice.

At this moment, Blaine was much more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

Blaine's command abilities, combined with Mewtwo's psychic powers, have amplified Blaine's overall strength.

But it doesn't matter. Since it's not a competition, Xia Yan doesn't need to be concerned about the number of Pokémon.

Dorambaruto's strength is enough to be the absolute force that crushes the opponent's lineup.

However, just as Xia Yan opened his mouth, he heard Uncle Xia on the other side say:

"Don't you humans believe in fairness when you fight each other?"

Xia Yan: "..."

Seeing that Blaine's gaze had fallen on Dorambaruto, who was about to make a move, Xia Yan quickly reached out to stop it.

Good guy.

You don't know that I said "no malicious intent".

They have a very thorough understanding of "fairness".

If Xia Yan hadn't known that Mewtwo had really only recently been born, he would have thought Mewtwo was playing a trick on him.

Listen to what Mewtwo means.

It seems that the intention is to have Xia Yan and Xia Bo engage in a full-team 6v6 battle, rather than overwhelming each other with sheer numbers of Pokémon.

Xia Yan couldn't disagree.

Mewtwo is a ticking time bomb right now; if you don't do what it wants, it could explode on the spot at any time without any reason.

"it is good!"

He answered affirmatively.

It's okay, even if there are only six Pokémon, he is confident that he can win.

It just takes a little longer.

Let's just say it's buying them some time.

Commanding six Pokémon required less mental effort from Xia Yan.

Using superpowers, they can command others through telepathy.

The battle continues.

this time.

The first to launch an attack was the Shielded Sword Monster, who had previously disappeared into the shadows.

When it reappeared, it was already in the shadow behind Paraster.

Blaine's lineup is mostly composed of long-range turrets.

Paraster, who specializes in "sunbeams," is one of them.

just.

When Aegislash first appeared, Mewtwo seemed to have anticipated it, and Magmortar, which served as a rear-line turret alongside Parasect, became a companion that could support it.

Flames spewed from the cannon again.

The target was the Shielded Swordsman who had quietly appeared in Paraster's shadow.

However, Xia Yan had anticipated this move this time as well.

Just as the Magmortar's "Flame Jet" was about to hit the Aegislash, its form blurred instantly.

After a series of flashing lights.

Instead.

It's Infernape.

and.

Xia Yan cleverly used this "field swap" spatial displacement to avoid the Duckbill Flame Beast's "Flame Jet".

For Xia Yan and his Pokémon, the Master Tournament is also a competition to test and improve themselves.

After the Masters tournament, Xia Yan clearly felt that his grasp of timing was more accurate and his flexible application of moves was more thorough.

The replaced Infernape has sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, its eyes gleaming with fire, and its clenched fist is surrounded by flames and dark red energy.

They instantly became "enthusiastic".

The combined attack "Enhanced Punch" and "Great Indignation" slammed down with a deafening roar.

This time, no Pokémon could stop Infernape's punch.

Despite Paraster's best efforts to encourage the mushrooms on his back to spray paralyzing and poisonous powder as well as mushroom spores in an attempt to protect himself.

Unfortunately, the flames surrounding the Infernape's entire body, due to its "enthusiasm," blocked most of the dust and spores, which were burned to ashes before they could even get close.

Even if someone manages to get close to Infernape, they are blocked by the "mystical protection" bestowed upon it by Togekiss.

The powerful fist rapidly magnified in Parasta's eyes.

Finally, it crashed heavily onto it.

boom!!

The platform's ground was cracked in layers, with large swathes of rock and rubble bursting out.

Pain instantly overwhelmed his consciousness as Paraster was deeply embedded in the ground.

One punch.

They were immediately rendered unable to fight!

Infernape's aura surged, and it roared with excitement.

A smile involuntarily appeared on Xia Yan's face. He was happy for the powerful force of Infernape's punch and for Infernape's progress, as well as pleased with his own judgment.

Just as she expected.

Blaine's Parasect is a Bug/Grass-type Pokémon. It not only serves as a long-range turret for the team to unleash "Solar Beam," but also plays a role in coordinated defense.

Its Grass-type attribute allows it to absorb some of the damage from Ground, Rock, and Water-type moves, which is common among Fire-type Pokémon.

Water-type Pokémon, in particular, are extremely effective against Fire-type Pokémon in Sunny Day teams.

Therefore, Paraster's characteristic is most likely "dry skin".

Dry Skin: It can restore its own health when hit by rain or water-type moves, but it will take more damage when hit by fire-type moves.

This characteristic allows Blaine's team to avoid being too passive when facing opponents who specialize in Water-type attacks.

But correspondingly.

Parasect, a Bug/Grass type, is four times weak to Fire-type moves.

In addition, its own characteristics make it a rare five-fold super effective against fire-type attacks!

Five times the restraint, the blessing of a "sunny day" weather, and Infernape's "enthusiasm" state.

It was expected that Paraster would be defeated with a single punch.

Mewtwo, witnessing this scene, was visibly taken aback.

why?

It doesn't understand, it doesn't comprehend.

Why is Xia Yan so confident about Infernape's attack?

It seems completely unconcerned about the Infernape's attack landing but failing to produce enough effect, and being surrounded by other Pokémon.

It looked at Infernape and Xia Yan, and happened to see the brief eye contact between Infernape and Xia Yan.

I saw appreciation and trust in Xia Yan's eyes.

I saw absolute trust in Infernape's eyes.
