Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"Blood Demon Flow" is not just about using the move "sharing pain".

Then, a surge of rich Ghost-type energy erupted from the Rockruff's body once again. The stamina it had just recovered with the help of Togekiss's "Morning Light" was instantly depleted again, and the Ghost-type energy spreading from its body attached itself to Charizard.

A curse has been placed upon you!

Charizard immediately showed a pained expression, but still gritted its teeth and spat out a "Purgatory" attack at Togekiss.

"Aggron, Rock Slide!"

Seeing this, Daigo knew he couldn't hesitate any longer, or he would definitely be killed by the Rockruff. He had to deal with Togekiss as soon as possible, and then the two Pokémon would work together to fight the Rockruff. The so-called "Blood Demon Flow" would then fall apart on its own.

Amidst blazing flames and falling rocks, Togekiss remained calm, activating its "Divine Speed" again to dodge Aggron's "Rock Slide." Although Charizard's "Inferno" attack left it unable to dodge and caused it to take damage, it still managed to reach Aggron.

First there was Togekiss, then there was Flower Rock Monster.

Bostona felt a chill run down his spine.

"Flower Rock Monster, hypnosis."

"yawn."

Double "hypnosis"!

Bosscodora's eyelids began to twitch uncontrollably, and its massive body swayed.

Bang!

It crashed heavily to the ground.

"Chocolate!"

Pokekiss: Yours. (′Д｀)y━?~~

Flower Rock Monster: (了改。)

Eat Dreams!

Ahem, I should mention here the "large rootstock" flower rock monster...

Never mind, it seems they're both female.

In short, Dream Eater is used on sleeping Pokémon, dealing damage to them while also restoring the user's own stamina.

Another key move of the "Blood Demon Style".

then.

Togekiss hovered in front of Aggron and waved at Charizard.

Manual provocation.

Come here!

Charizard looked at Wataru.

It didn't know what would happen to Togekiss and Rockruff after its attack, but it estimated that Aggron...

Du's eyes twitched.

"Chocolate!"

But Charizard hesitated, while Togekiss didn't; it brandished its crest and unleashed a move...

Again!

Charizard was immediately affected by Togekiss, and flames surged from its belly, prompting it to use the "Inferno" move again.

Having endured two "hellish" attacks from Charizard, Togekiss was also in bad shape, but managed to lock its health with precise aim.

Needless to say, the Flower Rock Monster's essence is to make others look like it has very little "health," but for it, the whole field is a "health treasure," and it can absorb as much as it wants.

However, it's tough on Bosscodora.

A perfectly good doubles match was ruined by their own teammates.

Charizard, who had used "Purgatory," was also in trouble. The "Curse" effect activated, and its wings trembled, causing it to fall from the sky.

“It’s just right.”

Togekigu flapped its wings, signaling for the Rockruff to follow.

The Rock Golem scurried up to the Charizard.

?(???????)

Charizard's eyes twitched as it looked at the two little guys.

Let's have a serious match, shall we?

Togekiss and the Flower Rock Monster exchanged a glance, then slyly used their double "Hypnosis" technique again.

When Charizard closes its eyes, it feels a sense of liberation.

At least, it passed away peacefully.

The "curse" was triggered again, and Charizard lost its ability to fight.

so......

"Uh... Oh, the winning combination is Xia Yan and Cynthia!"

However, the entire room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Chapter 156 The Tournament Concludes

If you say that this tactic has nothing to do with Xia Yan, the audience will not believe a word of it.

Would our pure, lovely, and charming Sister Cabbage use such tactics?

Right now, all the Cynthia supporters in the Sinnoh region have only one thought in mind.

Don't let Xia Yan get too close to Cynthia!!

This person is suspicious and extremely dangerous!

Lance and Daigo put away their Pokémon, their expressions even more disgusting than if they had eaten shit.

They knew that Xia Yan was tactically strong, but even Wataru, who had been dealt with by Kona's "Song Annihilation" tactic, didn't find the "Song Annihilation" tactic particularly disgusting at the time. He also had ways to counter it, but he chose to hold back because of his relationship with Kona.

But this time.

He and Daigo really weren't planning to hold back.

As a result, it got completely "dirty".

They always felt that, in a one-on-one situation, Xia Yan's tactics, though "disgusting," were not without ways to counter them.

But when it comes to doubles...

It was as if he had been suddenly liberated, as if the terrifying "Pandora's box" had been completely opened, releasing something extraordinary.

The only saving grace is that Pokémon like Rockruff are relatively rare and cannot be imitated.

But what they didn't know was that Xia Yan's tactic wasn't actually designed for Rockruff. If it were a Gengar, they would find it even more unsolvable.

It can only be said that, to some extent, the Rockruff and Gengar are quite similar.

Cynthia lowered her head, looking at her hands.

At this moment, only Kona could probably understand what she was feeling.

Because of Xia Yan.

They all became "unclean".

but......

Say something.

From Xia Yan's tactics, she suddenly realized that she had misunderstood the use of the Flower Rock Monster before.

perhaps......

This is a tactic that is more suitable for the Flower Rock Monster.

Right.

After all, in this doubles match, she teamed up with Xia Yan, and the main core of their strategy was Rockruff, not Togekiss.

If used correctly, it seems that it can be used even without Tokiss.

The thought had barely crossed her mind when Cynthia shook her head repeatedly, a blush creeping onto her face.

They were misled.

The very thing that Sinnoh's budget-conscious fans were worried about had already happened before they even had a chance to worry.

"Uh...hehe—hehe—thank you four for the 'wonderful' doubles battle. As you all saw, doubles is more about tactics, and the Pokémon's strength is secondary..."

The host wiped his forehead with a forced laugh, trying to ease the tension.

What should have been a lively closing ceremony suddenly turned into an awkward silence.

but.

The audience gradually came to their senses as the host broke the silence.

Yup!

Some of us may not be very strong, but our tactical abilities are not necessarily weak. Doubles might be a better way out for us!

Although Xia Yan's tactics scared many people, they still had a positive impact on the league's promotion of doubles matches.

I believe that more and more people will start trying doubles in the future.

As the atmosphere eased, the stadium finally returned to the lively atmosphere expected of a closing ceremony.

This finally allowed the host to breathe a long sigh of relief.

"Now let's welcome the Four Heavenly Kings from various regions who have graced us with their presence at this competition!"

The Four Heavenly Kings!

Also, "they".

The audience's attention was instantly diverted by this topic.
