Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

The main problem is that the disadvantage in terms of speed is too obvious.

The opponents weren't hunters; these elves had been carefully trained by her, and their strength was much greater than those captured directly from the wild.

but.

Snorlax, relying on its thick hide, was able to withstand Arbok's next attack.

Even with its superb fighting skills, the bear was able to manage to create a stalemate with the poisonous skeletal frog.

However, Beedrill and its companions still have two Pokémon at the near-Elite Four level to contend with.

Crossbat and its opponent's Beedrill.

But two near-Elite Four level Pokémon are not without a chance!

next second.

The opponent's Beedrill moved, and then Xia Yan's Beedrill followed suit.

Bang! !

Four sharp, long stingers, four gleaming green rays—the two bee's "cross-scissors" collided head-on.

The result can be imagined.

Xia Yan's Beedrill power is definitely inferior to his opponent's.

Even with the added advantage of speed.

"Hiss!"

But then, wisps of dark red energy emerged from Beedrill's body, as if it were wearing a scarlet armor.

A leader's aura!

The appearance of this aura surprised the Beedrill.

The power that had been suppressing Xia Yan's Beedrill began to waver and loosen slightly.

leader.

Perhaps when facing other Pokémon, Beedrill's leader aura can only enhance its own power, making its aura no weaker than the opponent's.

However, when the opponent is also a Beedrill, the leader aura can still play a role.

That is to suppress the opponent.

Bang! !

The Beedrill, which was initially at a disadvantage, seized the brief moment of surprise of its opponent and pushed back, forcing its opponent to retreat.

Although it didn't cause much damage, this situation was clearly beyond what the person and the opposing Beedrill had anticipated.

Swish-

Before Beedrill could fully unleash the power of its attack, two milky-white blades slashed down at it from a very tricky angle.

It's the Crossbat's "Air Slash"!

Alakazam's eyes flashed slightly, and it instantly switched places with Beedrill. The spoon in its hand, imbued with psychic power, was thrown out and transformed into a "psychic blade" that collided with one of them.

Two more "air slashes" shot from another direction successfully shattered the opponent's remaining attack.

Crobat intercepted Togekiss's Air Slash just now, but this time it was Togekiss's Air Slash that blocked the opponent.

It was a give-and-take situation.

hum-

Having swapped positions with Alakazam, Beedrill didn't linger for a moment. It drew a golden arc in the air, accompanied by wispy, scattered electricity, and struck its opponent once more.

Meanwhile, the opposing Beedrill, with the help of Crobat, finally recovered from the deep-seated suppression brought about by the "leader's aura."

When it came to its senses, Xia Yan's Beedrill was already right in front of it.

A hasty response.

Bang! !

Another stumble.

Xia Yan's Beedrill gave its opponent no chance to catch its breath. It vibrated its wings, stirred up electricity, and created a tailwind before closing in again.

Nobody could have predicted it.

In this battle, which seemed to have reached a stalemate, it was actually two giant bee that broke the deadlock.

Moreover, it was a Beedrill that was clearly weaker than the Gym Leader level that suppressed a Beedrill that was almost an Elite Four level.

Although it's only temporary, once the opponent's Beedrill has fully recovered and caught its breath, it can still launch a counterattack.

But now.

It was on the receiving end of the beating.

Alakazam and Togekiss team up.

The two Pokémon, one controlling the field and the other dealing damage, took turns alternating their positions and offensive duties. With their tacit understanding and Xia Yan's command, they successfully restrained Crobat.

Although winning is difficult, they do create enough space for bee bees.

the other side.

Arbok tightly coiled around Snorlax, and the two Pokémon were locked in a stalemate, neither able to gain the upper hand.

Arbok's attack wasn't enough to instantly kill Snorlax, and Snorlax, facing the agile Arbok, also found it difficult to use its offensive tactics.

The bear and the poisonous skeletal frog were locked in a stalemate.

Toxicroak is very aggressive, and with Bear's "fuzzy" ability, it is least afraid of physical attack-type Pokémon.

If it were simply a contest of fighting skills, the bear-wearing character would even have the upper hand.

If it weren't for Toxicroak's poison-type moves that repeatedly hampered Bewear, forcing it to dodge, Bewear might not have had no chance of winning.

All parties are at an impasse.

But in this way...

The intelligent gorilla, however, had room to maneuver.

Its presence can provide support for beedrill.

however.

Zhihui Xing ultimately failed to make a move.

Just as it was about to fan itself, a dark shadow swiftly swept across the shadows in the forest, attempting to ambush Xia Yan once again.

It was spotted by both the Aegislash and the Gorilla and was attacked from the shadows.

It's a Gengar!

This is the fifth Pokémon that has reached near-Elite Four level!

It can be said that the person who appeared today is the strongest among all of Xia Yan's normal enemies so far.

With just one Nidoking away, she can bring her entire team to the level of a near-Champion!

Gengar and Orangutan, one cunning and the other clever, are not exactly locked in a stalemate, but at least they don't affect the other Pokémon.

to be frank.

This battle was very difficult for Xia Yan.

The inability to fully implement his tactical system is the most frustrating aspect for him.

In a contest of raw power, they were no match for their opponent and could only manage a stalemate.

Originally, a Trick Room team centered around Orangutan and a switch team centered around Alakazam should have been his strengths.

If Oranguru uses "Trick Room," Snorlax and Bewear will be much stronger.

However, Togekiss, Alakazam, and Beedrill will be restricted, and it's hard to guarantee that the stalemate won't be broken by Alakazam and the others.

The switching system built around Alakazam is usable, but unfortunately, the opponents are all near-elite level.

With such a disparity in strength, the biggest advantage of the switching defensive system cannot be brought into play.

Only a small-scale switch involving Alakazam and Togekiss can barely handle Crobat.

otherwise.

Think about it.

If you switch Snorlax and Togekiss on the opposing team, they'll have a much easier time dealing with Crobat.

However, if Togekiss faces Arbok alone, it is highly likely that it will be caught off guard and defeated.

After all.

The system's advantage still lies in situations where the Pokémon's strength is the same or similar.

When the gap in strength is too large, a system can be brute-forced to break down.

The only thing I'm somewhat fortunate about.

The opponent has already revealed all their cards, but Xia Yan still has some!

"Hiss!"

After being suppressed by Xia Yan's Beedrill for a period of time, the opponent's Beedrill finally found an opportunity and forced Xia Yan's Beedrill to retreat with a "Cross Scissors" attack.

A shimmering, emerald-green energy surged from its body.

A premonition of an insect!

The opponent's Beedrill has the characteristic of "insect sense"!

When stamina decreases and the injury becomes more severe, the power of Bug-type moves will become stronger.

A classic example of someone who gets stronger with each setback!

The two Beedrill suddenly stopped moving. The dark red leader aura surrounding Xia Yan's Beedrill mingled with the green light emanating from the opponent's "Insect Premonition".

Next.

That's when true strength really comes into play!
