Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Xia Yan has a very accurate understanding and assessment of his own abilities.

With his current strength, he could not possibly be a match for Tom Ruchi.

But that doesn't mean they won't be her match in the future.

His current strength is many times greater than it was before, and the gap between the two is narrowing.

At least for now, with some external help, Xia Yan can face her more or less directly.

Having external help is also a skill.

So, you have to hold back!

Tolerate!

Tolerate.......

To hell with it!

If you hold back for a moment, you'll only get angrier; if you back down, you'll only feel like you've lost out!

Now that we have Reggie, we should at least make her pay some interest!

This Zapdos is strong, but it's still a bit weaker than Regice.

and.

Compared to other Pokémon, Regice doesn't need to be discussed in terms of type advantages or base stat distribution.

But it's different with Zapdos.

Zapdos is an Electric/Flying type Pokémon with a very good type combination, only twice weak to Rock and Ice types.

Coincidentally, Regice is an ice-type.

Furthermore, Zapdos is a typical special attack-oriented Pokémon, and it is also weak against Regice, which is also a special attack-oriented Pokémon.

Based on the League's classification of known Pokémon's base stats, Zapdos has a Special Attack stat of 125, while Regice has a Special Defense stat of 200, indicating a type advantage.

Of course, base stats can only be used as a reference, but it is undeniable that Regice has a significant advantage over Zapdos.

Most importantly, this Zapdos was obviously captured and controlled by Tom Rukki using extraordinary means, and has not yet undergone a long period of training, so its teamwork is definitely lacking.

Xia Yan took a deep breath.

"Regice, Ice Beam!"

There's not much to talk about, just get to work!

Xia Yan felt that he might now be possessed by the personality hidden within the twin sword sheaths.

I just want to take a piece of flesh from Tom Ruchi right now.

Seeing that Xia Yan had ordered Regice to attack without hesitation, Tom Ruoqi's expression changed slightly.

Zapdos, Light Screen!

An invisible, transparent wall of light stood in front of Zapdos.

The Ice Beam penetrated the light wall and struck Zapdos, but its power was significantly weakened.

Furthermore, the light wall is a continuous attack, so taking damage once in exchange for damage reduction later is obviously a very worthwhile trade-off.

She was the strongest among those present, so naturally she knew exactly what level Regice's strength was at and was most aware of how Zapdos countered her. She knew that Zapdos alone was definitely no match for Regice.

Then, throw out three Poké Balls.

Three Pokémon instantly appeared on the field.

The spreading electric current almost completely covered the area where Xia Yan and Tomoruki were fighting.

The three that appeared were all Electric-type Pokémon.

Magneton, a hybrid of Electric and Steel types, Ampharos, an Electric type, and Electrike, an Electric type.

Xia Yan raised an eyebrow upon seeing the three Pokémon.

Besides Ampharos, Magneton and Electabuzz were clearly raised by Tomroki after he caught Zapdos, and judging from their auras alone, they were significantly weaker than Ampharos.

However, Magneton is clearly designed to counter Regice.

However, Magneton's Special Defense is not good enough, and it is still not enough against Regice.

But the next second, Tom Ruchi's command made him marvel at the man's ambition and audacity.

"Zetzart, Magnetic Field Control!"

sizzle-

Centered on Zapdos, a faint, fine magnetic field spread outwards, covering and enveloping the three newly emerged Pokémon and Regice.

At the same time, fluffy electromagnetic waves, resembling tufts, spread across the bodies of both the electric dragon and the thunder beast.

Both physical defense and special defense have been significantly strengthened.

"A positive-electric type Ampharos, and a negative-electric type Electrify?"

Tomroch hadn't paid much attention when he battled Zapdos, but now, seeing the changes in the two Pokémon, he knew their characteristics.

He didn't try to suppress his voice, and Tom Lucci naturally heard his surprise.

Positive Electric is Ampharos's hidden ability, and Negative Electric is Electrify's hidden ability; not many people know this, but not a few either.

In Tom Ruoqi's eyes, Xia Yan had become one of those people with an extremely rich knowledge base.

With the emergence of positive and negative electric properties, electric currents began to interact between Ampharos and Thunderbolt, greatly enhancing their special attack.

She actually managed to build a team centered around Zapdos?

Xia Yan looked at Tom Ruoqi in surprise.

But Tom Ruchi covered his mouth and chuckled, continuing, "Electric Dragon, Electric Field."

zizi——

In an instant, everything in sight seemed to be coated with gold, and the pervasive electric field completely covered the surrounding area.

This time.

Xia Yan was no longer surprised.

It was unbelievable.

Zapdos and Ampharos...

Dual-core!

Either you don't have a core player, or you directly build a dual-core lineup?

Tom Ruchi's ambition and audacity are simply too great!

Chapter 190 First Collision

Zapdos's "Magnetic Field Control" combined with Ampharos's "Electric Terrain," and Ampharos's "Positive Electricity" ability combined with Electrify's "Negative Electricity" ability, although there are only three Pokémon, the outline of her prepared lineup can already be vaguely seen.

A very bold dual-core design!

Xia Yan remembered that although Tom Ruoqi did not have a clear core, the Mr. Mime, with its special ability, could barely connect the entire team, so it could be considered a core, or rather a pseudo-core.

Completely overhauling the original lineup and rebuilding it from scratch is a very bold choice.

However, the current combinations do have a higher ceiling.

"No destruction, no construction"—that's very bold.

Although this lineup is clearly incomplete, if it were Xia Yan, he would be paired with a Pokémon with the "Electric Charge" ability as a tank. After being attacked, he could recover his HP by having the Pokémon in the team release an electric current at him.

Alternatively, prepare a Pokémon with the "Static" ability to act as a tank or a speed attacker, increasing the team's output potential.

If conditions and abilities permit, Xia Yan will also choose a Grass-type Pokémon or a Pokémon with the "Levitate" ability to form a defensive synergy, in order to deal with the only Ground-type move that can counter Electric-type Pokémon.

Of course, these were all additions and additions to Tom Ruoqi's lineup after Xia Yan saw the initial form of the lineup she had assembled.

However, given Tom Ruchi's abilities, it shouldn't be difficult for him to come up with something like this.

But just from what she's showing now, you can see how ambitious she is.

Not only do they need to advance to the true Heavenly King level and reach the level of the Four Heavenly Kings, but they also need to strive for even higher goals and build a dual-core or even multi-core lineup.

"Very bold."

Xia Yan also had to give her assessment of her design.

Tom Ruchi raised an eyebrow.

He immediately felt relieved.

Indeed, given the strength Regice has demonstrated, it's not difficult to discern her thoughts and preparations.

He must have such keen insight, otherwise she wouldn't have taken it so seriously, even bringing out things that weren't fully prepared yet.

"You flatter me, sir." Tom Ruoqi smiled. "Then let me, with my own stats, meet your Regice."

With the help of Mr. Mime's psychic powers, he used telepathy to command the four Pokémon in battle.

A deep blue aura of superpowers also shone in Xia Yan's eyes.

He doesn't know telepathy yet.

But that doesn't stop him from putting on an act.

"Regice!" Regice called out, lifting his foot and stomping heavily on the ground.

Stomp again!

boom!

The ground cracked instantly, and a fissure shot toward the Thunder Beast at an extremely fast speed.

Among these Pokémon, Thunder Beast is the only one with the weakest defense and is the most fragile. In addition, Thunder Beast was only recently trained by Tomruchi, so it should be the easiest to deal with.

You should pick the softest persimmons first!

The Thunder Beast folded and flickered, attempting to dodge the heavy stomp attack using the speed of lightning.

Unfortunately, the difference in strength between it and Regice was too great, and Heavy Stomp, under Reggie's control, had already locked onto its location.
