Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Or perhaps, Du offended her somewhere.

In short, there is no doubt that Cora is stronger.

Or rather, which future successful and powerful person is not one who doesn't strive?

so......

"I've also done some research on tactics, why don't we give it a try?"

"Give it a try?" Xia Yan was taken aback.

Tactics aren't a battle, so how can we try them out?

"You didn't know?" This time, it was Kona who was somewhat surprised.

Should I know?

Kona frowned. Shouldn't the academic students already know this?

But she explained, "It's a tactical simulation method from an elf school, called 'tactical game'."

Then, she briefly explained the method and rules of the "tactical game" to Xia Yan.

The general idea is that participants can choose one or more Pokémon, depending on the situation.

Each Pokémon has one hundred points, which can be used to improve its attributes, moves, items, move proficiency, and so on.

Each time you add points, you consume points, and eventually you use the constructed sprite to simulate battles.

This is the "tactical game" created by Elf Learning, and it has been very popular among students because it allows them, who rarely participate in actual combat, to enjoy the fun of battle.

This has resulted in trainers graduating from Pokémon schools having good tactical skills but lacking flexibility.

Compared to trainers who follow the conventional path, their lower limit is higher, but their upper limit is lower.

This has led to academic trainers remaining a subject of much controversy.

After hearing Kona's explanation, Xia Yan understood.

Isn't this a self-built sprite simulator?

"Did you understand?" Kona asked.

understand?

I understand.

Xia Yan originally wanted to find an excuse to brush it off, after all, he had been playing the role of a tactical analyst in front of Gelwin during this period, so he just blurted it out casually.

But why does this seem to make Kona even more interested?

Under Kona's gaze, Xia Yan nodded silently.

That works too.

It's acceptable even if it's not a battle.

Moreover, for Xia Yan, in real battles he might be insurmountably separated from many strong opponents, but when it comes to Pokémon games...

This isn't directed at any one person; everyone in the entire Elf world is like that... *cough*.

"Okay, since there's no special equipment here, we'll record the information on our phones."

As she spoke, Kona pulled out a bright red phone.

He then added, "This is your first time trying, so I will tell you which spirit I have chosen."

Xia Yan shrugged.

It doesn't matter.

"Wait, if both of the last two Pokémon fall down, who wins?" Xia Yan asked again.

Whoever caused this outcome wins.

Kona replied with a frown. She was already thinking about which Pokémon to choose and wanted to test Xia Yan's abilities first.

"alright."

After saying that, they both lowered their heads and stared at their phone screens.

The other elves nearby were not so well-behaved.

Especially Pokébé.

With shuffling legs and the clear ringing of bells echoing, she ran up to Laplace of Kona and waved.

"Chocolate!"

A big turtle.

Laplace had intended to ease the tension when Togepi greeted it, but Togepi's address made it frown.

Turtle?

Your whole family are turtles!

At this moment, only the pot can sense Laplace's inner changes.

Laplace turned his head away, ignoring him.

That's not going to do it. So, Pocoby stumbled and tried to climb onto Laplace's back.

Xia Yan, who was editing the data, caught a glimpse of Pokobi's behavior out of the corner of his eye and twitched his lips.

Are you the ultimate social butterfly?

Number one in being naturally outgoing and friendly?

Take it easy, don't get frozen.

“I’ve made up my mind, I choose Jynx,” Kona suddenly said.

"Oh," Xia Yan replied casually.

Actually, it doesn't matter which you choose. After she explained the rules that determine the outcome of some battles, the result of choosing any Pokémon will be pretty much the same.

After a while.

Both of them had edited their Pokémon's information and used up all 100 points.

“Miss Lips.” Kona flipped her phone over; it displayed data.

"Gengar."

Xia Yan also showed off his phone screen.

In terms of attributes, Ice and Psychic types have an advantage for the Mistletoe.

Next up is the simulated battle.

"My Jynx has the Oblivious ability, 20 points in Special Attack, 30 points in Speed, and maxed-out Psychic," Lorelei said.

It's worth mentioning that all moves are divided into five levels, and each move can be upgraded by a maximum of five levels.

For example, the mental strength skill belongs to the fourth level. To max out the level 5, it consumes a total of 9 points.

For example, the sword dance move, which belongs to the fifth level, costs 10 points to max out, and so on.

After Kona finished speaking, Xia Yan shook his phone.

"Sorry, Gengar has a Speed ​​stat of 60, so Gengar should go first with the Death Song."

"Speed ​​increased by 60? You're not increasing any of your other attributes?" Kona frowned, feeling that Xia Yan hadn't yet grasped some of the rules of the "battle game".

"It's okay, just continue."

Xia Yan was too lazy to explain.

In terms of tactical one-on-one combat, who can be dirtier than Gengar?

Lorelei pursed her lips and said, "Perish Song has been released, but it takes time to take effect. Even if Gengar is very fast, it will be hit by Jynx at the same time it releases Perish Song."

"Yes."

"If a Gengar without Special Defense can't withstand one Psychic attack from Jynx, then the game is over," Lorelei emphasized again.

She wondered if she had been making assumptions. Xia Yan was simply looking for an excuse to avoid fighting her.

"But I spent 10 points to exchange for an item, the Aura Sash," Xia Yan said with a smile.

Aura Sash: When at full health, if a Pokémon suffers a massive injury that would render it unable to battle, it can retain its last bit of health.

"Aura Belt?" Kona raised an eyebrow; she was certainly aware of the Aura Belt's effects.

It seems the game isn't over yet.

“Jealousy is using Psychic again,” Kona continued.

The Song of Destruction forced her to accelerate the process and end the battle as soon as possible.

But then, Xia Yan showed her the true meaning of the "song-annihilation tactic".

With its speed advantage and no other stats boosted, Gengar, combined with moves like Hypnosis, Protect, and Pain Sharp, gave Lorelei a taste of despair.

Even the final "shared fate" didn't work.

Furthermore, apart from the hypnosis skill which is maxed out, the other skills are all unleveled and can be used even at level one.

The "battle game" that Kona mentioned has no limit on the number of moves, allowing Xia Yan to combine moves more freely.

It made her understand what "disgusting" and "dirty" meant.

The end result was that Kona stared at her own phone screen and Xia Yan's phone screen, especially when she saw his Gengar's unusual skill point allocation, Kona was "shocked".

He couldn't help but mutter, "What the hell is this thing?"

Xia Yan smiled knowingly.

That's what you call... tactics.

It might be later today, or it might be gone.

The child has a high fever. If we come back early, the fever might still be there, but if we come back late, it should be gone. If the fever doesn't reach the target level, it's considered a debt, and we'll make up for it later.

I am so sorry.
