Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

How do we explain these two elves?

"Chocolate!"

Togepi, nestled in Xia Yan's arms, trembled slightly and gripped Xia Yan's sleeve tightly.

It sensed a strong "threat"!

An unprecedented and enormous "threat"!

Especially when Xia Yan's eyes were fixed on the two elves.

It's going to happen...

Chapter Thirteen: Comparing Sleeping?

They've been trained quite well.

Senior-level Marill and Superior-level Jigglypuff.

Based on the matches Xia Yan had inadvertently witnessed in the past, the veteran-level Pokémon should be considered among the more powerful Pokémon in this competition.

He gently patted Togepi's head.

How could he not know what the little guy was thinking?

Put it down.

Ding-a-ling—

Togepi toddled towards Jigglypuff, the soothing bells ringing out crisply.

"Chocolate!"

"Buli?"

“Cha-ke-yi—”

"Buli—"

While the two Pokémon were having a "friendly" exchange, Xia Yan's gaze fell on Marill.

Take a few steps closer.

I observed the appearance and skin of the Mariluri, and found that the fat layer is very thin.

"Strongman trait?"

Marill has three abilities: Thick Fat, Huge Power, and the hidden ability Herbivorous, all of which are actually very good abilities.

But if you ask what characteristic is most suitable for this kind of Pokémon, many people would probably shout "Hercules". After all, the title of "Dragon Slayer Warrior" that it will replace "Dragon Slayer Shellder" as the "nemesis" of Dragon-type Pokémon is not given lightly.

Strongman: Physical attack power is increased by 2 times.

Actually, for a single Water-type Pokémon, the Herbivore ability is also a good choice.

Herbivore: When attacked by grass-based moves, it will not take damage, but will instead increase its attack power.

The biggest weaknesses of Water-type Pokémon are Grass and Electric types. The Herbivore ability allows Marill to directly eliminate one of the Grass-type weaknesses.

However, compared to the Hercules ability, the Herbivore ability has greater limitations.

"Yes."

Gelwin's eyes gleamed.

Being able to spot Marill's characteristics at a glance means that, while not necessarily incredibly skilled, it's certainly not a sham.

What Pokémon will your next opponent use?

“It should be a dual-type Pokémon of Water and Grass, Lotus Hat Child.” Gelwin’s expression was a little awkward.

Judging from the attributes alone, it is indeed quite disadvantageous for her.

What moves has Mariluri mastered?

Gelvin handed her a piece of paper with a detailed description of the moves Marill had learned and the extent to which he had mastered them.

When Xia Yan saw the list of moves on the paper, he glanced at her with some surprise.

"The techniques they've mastered are better than I imagined, and the techniques they inherited are also quite good."

“That’s right, I’m Marill, and I’m our captain…”

He stopped halfway through his sentence.

Xia Yan didn't press the matter further.

My mind raced, imagining possible scenarios and how to deal with them.

"The Lotus Hat Child's ability is most likely 'Easy Swimming' or 'Fish Plate,' so having it cast Rain Dance wouldn't be very advantageous for Azrael..."

"Hmm, that Lotus Hat Child has the Freedom ability." Gelwin had also tried to investigate other people's information.

Xia Yan nodded.

Marill, with its Huge Power ability, is a very "violent" Pokémon, and overly complicated tactical arrangements are not a good choice.

"What about your original tactical plan?"

Xia Yan didn't directly state his thoughts, wanting to see how Gelwin prepared.

"Do everything you can to stop Lotus Cap Pup from casting rain. In the previous battles, whenever Lotus Cap Pup successfully cast rain, it used its speed combined with the Grass-type Leech Seed to wear down its opponent. So we absolutely cannot fall into its attrition rhythm, so we must seize the speed advantage," Gelwin said.

That understanding is not wrong.

But Xia Yan said, "Actually, after thinking about it, why don't we just let it pray for rain?"

"Ok?"

There are two reasons why we don't stop it from praying for rain.

Firstly, it was to prevent the Lotus Hat Child from using a high-five surprise attack if it knew it couldn't make rain, since the final result wouldn't be much different and it would still be able to make rain successfully, so it was better not to stop it.

Secondly, isn't the time when it prays for rain the perfect opportunity for Amarillie to buff itself?

"You mean, make it pray for rain, and then let Maryluri take the opportunity to strengthen itself?" Gelwyn asked, frowning.

"Yes, use the belly drum."

Belly Drum: Reduces one's own stamina by half, thereby greatly increasing one's own attack power.

In the game, this move can instantly boost attack levels by 12, which is terrifying, and it is also one of the core moves of the "Dragon Slayer".

Before Gerwin could speak again, Xia Yan continued, "Since the opponent likes attrition tactics, and Marill's characteristic is not attrition, then fight back with a combo, and use Water Jet as a movement move after Belly Drum ends."

The water jet has a high enough priority and a fast enough speed, which can offset the effects of the free-flowing characteristics to some extent.

If the opponent wants to use their speed advantage to wear you down, then let's give them that opportunity.

Gerwin's eyes lit up.

She realized she had been misled.

He was only focused on preventing the other party from successfully praying for rain.

However, they failed to consider that defeating an opponent is not only about stopping them, but also about strengthening oneself.

"I also have some in other places..."

Gradually, Gerwin failed to realize that he had shifted from a role of equal exchange to one of humbly seeking knowledge.

"The King of Verbal Combat!"

"Tactical Master"!

Xia Yan successfully used his previous understanding of games to elevate his position in Gelwin's heart.

While the two were talking, Togepi and Jigglypuff next to them were also on the verge of a confrontation.

"Bulli!"

A little surprise!

"Chocolate!"

A giant balloon!

“Buri?!”

Believe it or not, I can put you to sleep right now.

Pokobi's small eyes widened.

"Chocolate?!"

Sleep? You think I can make you fall asleep right now?!

Two chubby little elves stared at each other, neither willing to give in.

Jigglypuff laughed in exasperation.

There are actually elves who dare to compete with it in making people sleep?

"Buli?"

Try?

"Chocolate!"

Let's give it a try!

Togepi stood with his hands on his hips, refusing to back down.

When it comes to sleeping, who has it ever been afraid of?

Jigglypuff's already round body suddenly swelled even larger, as a large amount of air entered its body with each breath, causing it to expand.

Jigglypuff's round body is mostly filled with air. When it inhales, it expands, which is a sign of its vitality. However, this also makes Jigglypuff very light, so it can easily float away in a strong wind.

However, perhaps because of his long enough breath support, Jigglypuff's singing skills are really good.

It has a range of more than 12 notes.

"Bu~ Bubu~~ Bu~ Bu~ Buli, Bubu Bu~ Li~"

As Jigglypuff's song began, Togepi's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and he let out a long yawn.
