Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

A rich, bluish-purple "Dragon Pulse" emanated directly from its face, enveloping and covering it.

"Yes, yes, ee!!"

Togekiss's "trick" had just ended when it was subjected to the "Dragon Pulse," immediately revealing a look of "pain" and "struggle."

That really made some girls who like cute Pokémon feel heartbroken.

It must hurt a lot, right?

Looking at Pokekiss's "affected" behavior, Xia Yan twitched his eye and tried his best to remain calm.

That's a bit over the top, huh?

"Sigh, Natsuhiko saw Goody use 'Stand', so he wanted to use 'Nasty Plot' to boost his Special Attack to break free from the trouble caused by 'Stand' as soon as possible. This choice was not wrong. But he did not expect Diantha to attack so decisively. He really walked into the line of fire."

There is commentary, but it's not very noticeable.

Then, the camera focused on Xia Yan, giving him a close-up.

They perfectly captured the twitching in the corner of his eye.

"Xia Yan must be very worried about his Pokémon right now. His condition was already poor, and now it's getting worse."

well.

Pokkis and Xia Yan's "acting" had some effect.

That's the meaning behind the look Xia Yan gave Pokkis earlier.

Are they immune to Dragon-type moves?

Just act in one!

Has anyone actually noticed any signs of Pokémon immunity?

Let others guess for themselves.

Anyway, as long as he doesn't show it so directly, no matter how much people study the video afterwards, they won't be able to figure it out.

Even if someone did notice something fishy, ​​no one would think of it as immunity to Dragon-type moves.

It's more likely that Xia Yan did some special training on Togekiss, making it highly resistant to Dragon-type moves.

Fortunately, having followed Xia Yan for so long, Pokkis has learned a few things from him, as the saying goes, "one is influenced by one's company."

The acting was quite realistic.

Life is like a play.

Indeed, some people have noticed that Pokkis's condition is not as "powerless" as imagined.

But these people didn't think much of it.

after all.

If someone were to stand up and say that some Pokémon are immune to Dragon-type moves, they would probably be drowned in a sea of ​​spittle.

The subconscious judgments brought about by subjective consciousness provided the best cover for Xia Yan and Pokkis's "performance".

"Air Slash!"

After "Dragon Pulse" ended, Xia Yan immediately commanded Togekiss to launch another attack.

Seeing that "Dragon Pulse" had caused considerable "damage" to Togekiss, Diantha did not hesitate and continued to have Goodra launch an attack.

"Goodra, unleash Dragon Pulse once more!"

this time.

Tokiss dodged.

This better demonstrates its "fear" of such an attack.

This action and subconscious behavior completely dispelled any doubts anyone had, allowing them to focus solely on the battle.

then.

Xia Yan had always complained that other people's Pokémon had a "lock-in-HP" cheat, and this time Togekiss really showed everyone what a true "lock-in-HP" cheat is.

"Xia Yan's Pokémon has such a strong will!" Someone said, looking at Togekiss panting heavily, full of admiration.

"What an adorable and tenacious little elf!"

"That's enough, it's done enough."

"amazing!"

"..."

Viewers are already used to things like "invincibility cheat".

In their view, "locking blood" is equivalent to "unyielding will".

After all, this isn't a game; there's no such thing as a health bar. An elf can persevere through sheer willpower.

The battle soon came to an end.

Diantha's Goodra used a "Substitute" once, and after taking several attacks, its condition was indeed not very good.

While Togekiss is immune to Dragon-type moves, Diantha's Goodra not only knows Dragon-type moves, but Diantha also seems to have given it special training and development in Electric-type moves.

So it's not entirely an act that Tokiss looks bad right now; it really doesn't want to experience the "100,000 volts" again, and much of its white fur has turned black.

Xia Yan and Karuno exchanged a glance, both seeing the other's attitude in their eyes.

This is the last resort!

"Sticky Dragon, Meteor Shower!"

"Tokiss, Divine Bird Attack!"

"Nonsense!"

Then, Nianmeilong mustered his last bit of strength and exhaled a burst of blazing fire into the air.

Pokkis gritted his teeth and put all his strength into the "Divine Bird Attack" move.

Gather your strength!

Rumbling--

Fireball-like meteors fell straight down from the sky, and Togekiss's "Divine Bird Attack" was fully charged. Ignoring the falling meteors, it crashed into Goodra.

boom!!!

At the same time that "Divine Bird Attack" hit Goodra, a dense meteor shower struck Togekiss.

Although the dragon-type energy did not harm him, the pain from the meteorite hitting him was real.

When the smoke of battle clears.

All the viewers saw that Nymph and Togekiss were both lying on the ground, motionless.

wow——

The crowd erupted in cheers.

Some of them were given to Karuno to finally defeat Natsuhiko's Pokémon.

Some of the messages were congratulations to Xia Yan for advancing to the semifinals.

More than anything, it was Togekiss's "tenacity" that actually managed to replace Diantha's Goodra.

Xia Yan and Diana ran to the field at the same time and picked up their respective Pokémon.

“Just...okay...ee..."

Pokémon weakly opened its eyes and winked playfully at Xia Yan.

Xia Yan gently patted its back.

"(You acted) well."

It's not really acting; Pokkiss is just not in good form right now.

However, the fact that Goodra was able to replace Diantha gave it a significant advantage over Fairy-type Pokémon.

The best outcome would be for the two spirits to fight each other.

Diana wasn't "shaved off"; she ultimately devised a strategy based on the limited information available, defeating Xia Yan, a seemingly "powerful" Pokémon, turning the impossible into possible, and earning her even more recognition from many people.

This also made many people realize that "airplanes" are not actually as perverted as they seem.

This has quelled some of the "crazy" thoughts of many people.

Xia Yan also successfully advanced to the semi-finals, giving Pokkis a great opportunity to shine.

Happy to everyone!

During this battle, Xia Yan became even more certain of one thing.

Sometimes, an information advantage can indeed be transformed into a real advantage.

Whether it's the characteristics of "airplane" or "fairy-type" Pokémon, these are all advantages in terms of information.

His advantage!

If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to maximize his own interests by leveraging his informational advantage in the future.

Whether it's Fairy type or Mega Evolution.

He finally has the ability to start collecting Mega Evolution Stones...
