Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Amidst the red glow of the Poké Ball, Infernape, surrounded by flames, reappeared on the field.

"Infernape?! Xia Yan summoned Infernape again. That previous switch was just to dodge the attack..."

The host looked puzzled and confused, but then added, "But it helped Infernape avoid the deadly 'earthquake,' so this rotation is quite reasonable."

Reasonable?

Xia Yan couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Then I heard him shout again: "Infernape, high five!"

"A surprise high-five?!"

This moment.

Those with good tactical skills reacted almost instantly.

Especially to ferry them across.

Du trembled and kept stroking his arm, but he couldn't get rid of the goosebumps.

"This is... what Senior Xia Yan was talking about... the insect monkey?" Kona murmured, adjusting his glasses.

Cynthia's face showed a hint of surprise.

Insect monkey?

They had heard Xia Yan refer to the Infernape by this name before.

They just never understood why a perfectly normal Infernape would be called an Insect Monkey.

What does it have to do with the Bug type?

Now they understand.

Infernape's "high five" attack, combined with its "U-turn," means that as long as its opponent isn't faster, it's basically an insect monkey!

Against Steven, who mostly uses Steel or Rock-type Pokémon and is relatively slow, Infernape has an absolute advantage in speed.

In other words...

As long as Infernape and Togekiss work well together.

Can it continue to mindlessly torment people with "high-five attacks" and "rapid reversals"?

That's why Du got goosebumps all over his body.

It's so dirty!

It's so dirty!

The problem is that Pokémon that catch Steven are better at defense and counterattacks, but lack the weakness of being able to launch fast attacks.

I want to torture you!

Bang! !

When Bosscodora was hit by the "high five" attack again and fell into a "cowardly" state, the host and the audience understood what was going on.

What is this called?

This is called the effect and characteristics of flexibly applying techniques.

Xia Yan had a smile on his face the whole time, and when he saw Daigo's astonishment, his smile widened even more.

"Infernape, close combat again."

Bang bang bang bang—! !

A fierce storm raged, and the sharp punches, like bullets, relentlessly pounded against Aggron's proud, thick armor.

Fine cracks gradually appeared on the armor.

The pain and injury suffered in this process are also increasing exponentially.

This scene should have been an exhilarating and inspiring moment.

But an eerie silence fell over the entire arena, broken only by the resounding thuds of Infernape's fists striking down.

The host opened his mouth, but the sound got stuck in his throat and he couldn't make it out.

And online.

At the same time, the number of comments and bullet screen messages among viewers watching the live stream also decreased rapidly.

Until the next second.

Comments exploded.

"Damn! Now I finally understand why Mr. Xia Yan is called a 'tactical master'!"

"It's so dirty! But I love it!"

"I've learned something new! I've learned so much!"

"As expected, I always learn something from watching Master Xia Yan's battles! I'm an Infernape trainer, and from now on... hehe."

"..."

The audience members at the scene also realized what was happening.

Theoretically speaking, this tactic is not too difficult.

However, in reality, the requirements for operating the sprite are not low.

It can be imitated, but it's estimated that not many people will be able to imitate it successfully.

Daigo's reaction speed is, of course, the fastest.

In fact, the brief moment of surprise earlier did not have a significant impact on his battle with Aggron.

Because it was controlled.

But the moment Aggron awoke, Daigo also realized what was happening.

"Aggron, Double-Edged Hammer!"

Bang——! !

The massive, sharp horn formed by the hard top of its head, encased in thick boulders, struck Infernape with unerring accuracy, sending it flying.

In fact, Xia Yan could have avoided this situation.

Just as others had guessed.

As long as he keeps having Infernape repeat "Fake Out" and "U-turn", even if he wins slowly, Aggron's physical defense is stronger, he can still slowly whittle it down.

But Xia Yan did not make that choice.

My opponent is Daigo.

This good friend has "money power".

Xia Yan really didn't want to be so "dirty".

Although it's already a bit "dirty" now, I don't want it to get completely "dirty".

Otherwise, Xia Yan seriously suspects that he will be blocked at the door after the game ends.

They really blocked the door, the kind of blockade they used a wall to block it.

So he toned it down a bit.

Backstabbing is acceptable, but not so thorough.

Just like Daigo and the others are training their ability to resist "cowardice" in preparation for betraying Natsuhiko.

What's the point of having good friends if you don't use them to betray you?

Of course, this also gave Daigo and Aggron a little bit of an opportunity.

Daigo and Aggron seized this opportunity.

of course.

As for the result...

Bang-!

Bosscodora's heavy body collapsed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

The reaction force of the "double-edged hammer" completely depleted the last bit of strength it had retained due to its "sturdy" characteristics.

"Aggron is unable to battle! The first to win is Infernape!"

Infernape staggered to its feet, baring its teeth.

The flames covering his entire body gradually dissipated.

Despite taking precautions, it still suffered some damage, and its arm hurts a little.

However, compared to Aggron, Infernape's injuries are not too serious.

Chapter 188 A Fierce Clash

Aggron was thus "ambushed" and killed by Xia Yan using a relatively "reasonable" tactic.

It wasn't surprising that Xia Yanxian won first place.

I just never expected it to end this way.

Daigo took a deep breath.

He then shook his head with a hint of helplessness.

Xia Yan always manages to give them "surprises" in some way or some kind of way.

That was a brilliant move...

That was indeed something Daigo hadn't expected.

Fortunately, it's alright.

It's not that there's no chance of fighting anymore.

Taking a deep breath, Daigo flipped his hand and threw out the Poké Ball again.
