Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Faced with the fierce attack of Mega Beedrill, Whimsicott had no time to react.

But Miss Skirt once again used the "Please go first" technique, targeting Venusaur!

Venusaur's movements suddenly quickened.

The flowers on its back trembled slightly, and clusters of milky white bubbles rose and gathered from the buds.

But under the bright sunlight above the hall, the bubble immediately turned into a crimson fireball and hurtled away with a giant bee.

Weather balloon!

On a sunny day, the Weather Ball move becomes Fire-type and its power doubles!

Bang! ! !

The attack from "Weather Ball" and the attack from Super Beedrill landed almost simultaneously.

The flickering flames were accompanied by scattered bubbles.

Whimsicott, overwhelmed by the aura of the giant Beedrill, couldn't help but blink. It touched its body and found that it had no wounds and felt no pain.

Igor, standing on the sidelines, also frowned.

Another fake?!

Why does the aura emanating from Super Beedrill feel so real?

and also.

This battle, a mix of feints and real attacks, had already made him feel that it was tricky and difficult to deal with.

If Xia Yan had to predict whether his attacks were genuine or not for every single one, and Igor had to judge whether his counterattacks were genuine or not for every single one, that would be too difficult.

The key point is...

It's enough to just judge whether it's true or false.

In most cases, yes.

Everything is real until the attack lands, but when the attack lands, the illusion created by "Swap the Field" and Zoroah's "Illusion" property can make real things instantly become fake and fake things instantly become real.

I remember watching Xia Yan participate in the Masters Tournament back then.

Igor had praised Xia Yan's tactics more than once for how troublesome and disgusting they were.

just.

At the time, he was more or less gloating, relieved, and complacent.

But now.

When he personally faced such tactics, he was almost numb.

How do we fight?!

He believes that his own Pokémon configuration and tactics are enough to leave many people at a loss.

Whether it's explosive offense, unwavering defense, sustained attrition, or disruptive rhythm, he is confident that he will not lose to anyone.

His opponents, if they are inferior to him in any aspect, can be slowly worn down by his extremely strong endurance.

but.

When faced with Xia Yan's tactics, he instantly realized his mistake.

On the outbreak.

While Xia Yan's Mega Beedrill and Dragapult are strong, with the "Flower Gift" buff, his Mega Charizard Y is no less powerful than them, and might even be stronger.

On defense.

Xia Yan's lineup lacks any defensive Pokémon, and their condition is poor; they would lose their ability to battle after being attacked by Pokémon like Mega Charizard Y or Venusaur.

Needless to say, the consumption is even greater.

Igor's Grass-type Pokémon are best known for their ability to sustain damage. If Xia Yan tries to wear him down, Igor might be laughing all the way to the bank.

Only the last point.

Rhythm!

Igor's rhythm is not bad; in fact, compared to Cynthia and Daigo, the more experienced Igor has a stronger grasp of rhythm.

This can be seen from Miss Skirt's two instances of "Please go first" which helped her turn the tide.

But the problem is.

Igor's rhythm ability is not bad, but Xia Yan, with the synergy of the two cores and the tacit cooperation of all the elves, directly pushed the rhythm to the maximum!

At least so far, Igor has not seen a trainer with better rhythm ability than Xia Yan in all-out battles.

On rhythm ability.

Xia Yan could almost certainly rank in the top three in the entire Pokémon world today, or even more.

This ability to control the tempo alone completely made up for all the disadvantages he faced when confronting Igor.

They also firmly maintained the initiative.

Igor couldn't even gain the upper hand in terms of tempo.

And in order to achieve this rhythm...

Xia Yan, standing on the sidelines, had a furrowed brow, veins throbbing slightly on his forehead, and superpowers gleaming in his eyes.

This lineup.

He's really not afraid of being imitated.

Because unless you have superpowers, you absolutely cannot imitate it. Even if someone has superpowers, they may not be able to imitate the true essence.

This is a mind-bending tactic.

Back on the field.

The fake Mega Beedrill fooled Igor once again, wasting Venusaur's attack opportunity.

The battles with Mega Beedrill, Dragapult, and Zorua allowed Togekiss, Alakazam, and Latios to finally recover their strength somewhat.

Finally, Xia Yan can fully utilize the entire tactic.

"Os!!"

Latios gave a low growl.

A soft white beam of light shot out from its mouth.

This beam of light carried no energy fluctuations, but its target was not Igor's elf, but rather the hazy mist in the corner of the arena.

A giant Beedrill appeared in the corner of the arena at some unknown time.

Under the illumination of this beam of light, the characteristics of the Super Beedrill became "simple"!

This is Latios's "Simple Beam"!

As its characteristics changed, Super Beedrill's long, narrow, scarlet eyes flashed, and a series of clanging sounds rang out as a dark red sword array slowly rose.

Sword Dance!

Seeing this, Igor finally couldn't sit still any longer.

With a wave of his hand.

The "simple" trait will double the effect of each buff or enhancement granted to this spirit.

"Sword Dance" already has a very strong physical attack boost, and then it's doubled...

The giant beetle is truly unstoppable!

"Roar--!!"

Mega Charizard Y roared, shaking its huge orange wings and creating a vortex of flames that enveloped Mega Beedrill.

at the same time.

"Da na!"

Venusaur raised its legs and stomped the ground with its lush green feet. With a series of booming sounds, a large number of green plants grew and spread wildly around Beedrill.

And when these plants come into contact with the flames of Super Charizard Y.

Bear!!!

The already terrifying flames instantly received an unimaginable boost.

The intense heat seemed to cause a brief distortion of space, and the temperature throughout the hall continued to rise.

This is a combination move of Mega Charizard Y and Venusaur.

"Oath of Fire" plus "Oath of Grass"!

In an instant.

The environment where the giant Beedrill was located had turned into a huge, terrifying sea of ​​fire!

however.

Xia Yan had long been prepared for such an obstacle.

hum-

Faced with the terrifying heat and flames, Mega Beedrill's form blurred again, and Dragapult replaced it without even glancing at the flames. With a turn of its head, it disappeared into the void once more.

"Whoosh!"

Alakazam's psychic powers resonate with Xia Yan's psychic powers.

At the same time, he also took over some command authority from Xia Yan, relieving Xia Yan's pressure.

Its eyes suddenly surged with superpowers as it swept over Miss Igor's skirt.

In a short time.

Alakazam's originally golden body was now tinged with emerald green, and its speed was greatly enhanced under the "Sunny Day".

It "played" the "chlorophyll" characteristics of Miss Skirt!

But soon.
