Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

slam-la-

Gastrodon once again created a surge of water, raising waves that crashed down on Flareon and Jolteon with overwhelming force, seemingly intent on attacking and subduing both Pokémon simultaneously.

"Flame Eevee/Jolteon, Dig!"

Like twins with a telepathic connection, Daye and Denji spoke at the same time once again.

The two Pokémon, one after the other, disappeared from everyone's sight at the same time as Sylveon.

On the field.

Only one sea hare was left.

"You've found Sylveon!"

They had seen the previous battles between Xia Yan, Nie Zi, and Qi Bana, and knew how varied Sylveon's tactics were after "Digging".

and so.

They simply chose to respond by "digging holes" as well.

It can not only dodge the Sea Gastrodon's "Waterfall" attack, but also...

"Go find Sylveon!" Bigleaf shouted.

however.

Just as Elise disappeared, Xia Yan and Cynthia both smiled.

Then Xia Yan called out again, "Sylveon, help!"

what? !

Upon hearing Xia Yan's command, both Da Ye and Dian Ci were taken aback.

Didn't they "dig a hole" down there?

But all they saw was the cute blue and white elf leaping up from the hole left by Sylveon, letting out a delicate cry, and shooting out of the hole.

Furthermore, the scattered, dazzling points of light scattered and disappeared into the sea hare's body.

As the sea hare beast "climbed" the waterfall on the waves to mid-air, the water beneath its feet was instantly scattered like a torrential downpour.

In other words.

The only ones still underground are Flareon and Jolteon!

Oops!

Upon realizing this, both Daye and Dianci's expressions changed simultaneously.

Sure enough, Cynthia then commanded, "Gastrodon, use Mount Tai, Earthquake!"

Combo moves!

The air superiority created by the rising waves amplified the overwhelming force of the sea hare's descent.

With the "help" of Sylveon...

Seeing Sylveon leap into the air and Gastrodon fall heavily to the ground, Daiyo and Denji reacted as quickly as possible.

"Flame Eevee/Jolteon, come out!"

But I still heard it.

Boom!!!

The wavy, earthy-yellow patterns spread rapidly outwards from the center of the sea hare beast.

Along with this, the entire battlefield shook violently, and the ground cracked and caved in, with huge gaps bursting open in the hard ground.

It's easy to imagine how much damage a super-powered "earthquake" could cause to Jolteon and Flareon, which are still underground.

but.

This is not enough to completely wipe them out.

Speaking of which...

The Sea Gastrodon still lacks explosive power.

rustling—

The ground struggled to rise.

The slow cracking of the two small bulges indicates that although they were not instantly killed, they still caused tons of damage to Flareon and Jolteon.

And right now, the most important thing is...

Would Xia Yan and Cynthia really give up such a golden opportunity?

The answer is of course no.

"Sylveon, imitate!"

Another instance of "imitation"!

and.

The object of its "imitation" is still Cynthia's Gastrodon.

And the move to "imitate" is, of course,... an earthquake!

Sylveon, which was leaping in the air, was already in the process of falling.

As it landed heavily on all fours.

Boom!!

The entire venue shook violently once again, and the venue emitted a deafening roar as if it could not withstand the strain.

ka ka ka-

The cracks that had already appeared were widened once again.

Good guy.

When they get ruthless, they'll even attack their own people?

To know.

Gastrodon was still on the ground, meaning it also suffered from the "earthquake" attack from Sylveon.

only.

The "earthquake" that Sylveon "imitated" was completely within the range that Gastrodon could withstand.

But for Daye and Dianci's Leihuo Yibu, it became the last straw that broke the yak's back.

When Flareon and Jolteon finally managed to burrow out of the ground, they no longer had the strength to struggle. They lay on the ground, their eyes swirling in circles.

"Flamebub and Jolteon, unable to battle!"

boom!!!

The entire stadium erupted in a unified cheer.

This... this is how they completely reversed the situation when the opponent had the advantage?

Just because Sylveon made a feint?

If Sylveon were also underground, Gastrodon would absolutely be unable to unleash Earthquake, as it would cause immense and unbearable damage to Sylveon as well.

This is why Daiyo and Denji dared to let Flareon and Jolteon follow.

Of course, the pressure exerted by the Sea Gastrodon's "Waterfall Climb" on the ground also played a significant role.

It can be said that this feint effect is the result of the combined efforts of Sylveon and Gastrodon.

One fled while the other launched a strong attack, which gave Da Ye and Dian Ci the illusion that they could safely "dig a tunnel" to pursue them.

Moreover, even if Gastrodon were to attack along with Sylveon, they could all withstand a single "Earthquake".

Sylveon's "Help" also played a crucial role.

But never expected.

Sylveon only pretended to dig; it didn't actually dig anything.

the most important is.

Xia Yan and Cynthia didn't seem to have any interaction, did they?

What they just lip-read was displayed on the big screen and most people understood it.

He's just making threats.

So... this is a tacit understanding between Xia Yan and Cynthia?!

The tacit understanding between the two champion-level trainers.

Xia Yan believed that Cynthia could read his tactics, and Cynthia also believed that Xia Yan could finish off the final blow.

Perfect teamwork!

At the beginning, there wasn't much chemistry between them. Were they just putting on an act, or were they in the process of getting to know each other?

Sylveon and Gastrodon didn't cooperate with the feint, Gastrodon wasn't decisive, Sylveon didn't "help," and then came the final blow.

If any one of these links were missing, the final result would not be what it is today.

But now, precisely because of this, every step has been implemented perfectly and has achieved the desired effect.

"Heh—doubles teamwork, nothing special." Xia Yan adjusted his hat brim, his gaze peering out from beneath it, looking at Da Ye with a hint of mockery.

Da Ye: "..."

Damn it! I got tricked by Xia Yan too.

And because of his act, Da Ye, who was previously a bit foolish, seemed somewhat stupid.

Hearing Xia Yan's clamor, Cynthia's almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents once again.

In my mind.

The scene quickly flashed by, showing them fighting Natsuhiko multiple times, and also Wataru, Daigo, and others going through life-and-death experiences in the wild, fighting against different powerful enemies together.

The corners of her mouth curled up in a dazzling arc.
