Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

just.

Red, who is still in the period of rapid improvement in strength, is just like Wataru when Xia Yan first met him. He relies more on brute force in battle, and tactics are secondary.

Looking at the wide-eyed, crimson figure.

It seems that they were finally "dirty" by his "poison defense substitution" tactic and the derived tactics.

Xia Yan spoke up at the opportune moment.

"Want to learn? I'll teach you."

If I'm not mistaken, this crimson figure should be from the same world as the group of people who came to his world.

The fact that he is now encountering the young Akane is most likely because time has also been distorted.

If we can make Crimson stronger, wouldn't that also be a blow to those people?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

This is also one of the reasons why Xia Yan wanted to demonstrate the "poison defense substitution" tactic.

He wants to teach tactics to "fighting men"!

Accelerate his growth!

Upon hearing this...

A sharp glint flashed in his crimson eyes.

"May I?"

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Want to learn? I'll teach you!

There is no longer a limit to the number of Pokémon moves.

The "poison defense substitution" tactic has a lot of room for maneuver.

"What other spirits do you have?"

The battle stopped halfway through.

After all, the fight can continue whenever it wants, but the opportunity to learn is different.

Upon hearing Xia Yan's question, Crimson didn't hesitate for a moment and threw out a Poké Ball.

What followed was...

These are all his main Pokémon.

Besides Blastoise, which was defeated before, and Pikachu, which is now hypnotized by Milotic, there are also Charizard, Venusaur, Snorlax, Lapras, and so on.

Among the main red Pokémon, there are some that are very suitable for this tactic.

For example, his Venusaur, and his Snorlax.

Venusaur has excellent defense and special defense, and Grass-type Pokémon have relatively strong survivability. It can also be used with moves such as Sleep Powder, Trouble Seed, Leech Seed, and Photosynthesis to create moves that can be used around Poison, Protect, and Substitute.

Snorlax goes without saying; its characteristics include abundant stamina, high defense, and high HP. Moreover, the Crimson Snorlax also has the "Thick Fat" ability, making it even less likely to be one-shotted.

The "poison defense substitution" tactic offers a high degree of flexibility as long as the user isn't instantly killed.

In addition, Snorlax can learn support moves such as "Sleep" and "Amnesia," which can be used to build around "Poison, Protect, and Substitute."

of course.

It still has its weaknesses, such as being "provoked" or "sealed".

For example, moves like "Guardian", the "Synchronize" ability, or encountering Steel-type Pokémon, etc.

But this is just a tactic.

You can't put all your eggs in one basket; you have to learn to be flexible.

For example, Snorlax has more than one tactic to use.

Starting with a strong offensive move like "Bloody" is also a good choice.

A professional master trainer cannot rely on only one tactic.

and.

"Poison Guardian" is more suitable for rotating singles or doubles, and is less of a threat when all players are in a match.

As Xia Yan spoke, he scribbled on the ground with a stone.

Crimson listened attentively, nodding occasionally.

When they hear something truly amazing, they can't help but applaud.

I just felt that Xia Yan had an extremely thorough understanding of tactics.

He could describe any spirit, its characteristics, and its state in great detail.

His understanding of elves alone made Crimson feel inferior.

Red even felt that even his good friend Green's understanding of Pokémon was far inferior to Xia Yan's, and perhaps only Professor Oak could compare to him later.

"In short, 'Poison Guardian Substitution' is a concept, a core idea. But since it's a core idea, it can't be too bare. You have to find ways to enrich it, fill it with things, and know how to be flexible and adaptable," Xia Yan said.

“I understand, Professor Xia Yan.”

He imparts knowledge, teaches skills, and resolves doubts; Chi Hong's address of "teacher" is entirely sincere.

Chi Hong doesn't know Xia Yan's true strength.

But in terms of understanding of Pokémon, familiarity with tactics, and flexibility in battle, Red has enough to learn from.

Teacher Xia Yan?

Hearing the crimson address, Xia Yan was slightly taken aback.

His expression became slightly strange.

He just wanted to make Crimson stronger so he could better deal with those guys.

I never expected to end up with the title of "teacher" without even realizing it.

but......

What it feels like to be called "teacher" by someone who's "fighting"...

not bad.

"cough."

Xia Yan coughed lightly.

I won't dwell on this too much.

He continued, "Besides this 'poison defense substitute' tactic, your Laplace also has a tactic that is very suitable for it."

"really?"

His bloodshot eyes lit up.

The "poison defense substitution" tactic alone, along with its derivatives, has already brought Crimson immense benefits.

Moreover, listening is one thing, but how to actually operate and apply it in real combat, and how to be flexible and adaptable, all require a certain amount of practice and training to achieve.

These things are enough for Crimson to try for a long time.

did not expect.

Xia Yan also has tactics suitable for his other Pokémon.

“I call it the ‘song-killing tactic’.”

"'Song-annihilation tactics'?"

Then.

Xia Yan then took out the "Extinction Song" tactic that he had once taught to Kona and explained it to Red again.

When Crimson heard that "Song of Destruction" would be used as the core of the tactic, combined with other moves to delay the enemy, he was completely stunned.

After a while.

He then asked awkwardly, "Professor Xia Yan... isn't this tactic... a bit...?"

"Dirty?" Xia Yan finished Chi Hong's words with a smile.

"Um......"

Red gave an awkward laugh.

As for tactics, they are definitely good tactics.

But he felt that the previous "poison defense substitution" and the current "song-annihilation tactic" seemed to be easy to get beaten when used in actual combat with others.

I'll get ganged up on, won't I?

Xia Yan patted Chi Hong's shoulder earnestly.

“Crimson red.”

"Teacher, please speak."

"Are there any rules in the league that prohibit the use of these tactics?" Xia Yan asked.

"Uh... not really." Crimson scratched his head.

"Do these tactics go beyond the scope of Pokémon battles and employ techniques other than Pokémon moves?" Xia Yan asked again.

"It seems... not really."

"Definitely remove the word '吧'."

"No, no!"

"So, why can't these tactics be used?"

Chi Hong pursed his lips. He knew Xia Yan was right, but he just felt that it would easily lead children astray.

Xia Yan shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Red, once these tactics appear, many people will definitely imitate and learn them, but isn't that precisely what enhances the overall strength of the alliance and improves the combat ability of the younger generation of the alliance?"

In the end, in order to counter these tactics, someone will surely come up with more targeted strategies.
