## Chapter 143 Some geniuses cannot be judged by ordinary standards! (3.8k!)

Among the group of people with furrowed brows, only one person had a strange expression.

Beneath his seemingly worried face, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he wanted to laugh but was forcibly holding it back.

It was the principal who directly facilitated this battle.

A rollover?

It's good that things went wrong. How can young people grow without experiencing some setbacks?

It can be said that the principal's main purpose in holding this special selection competition was to let Xia Shen taste the bitterness of failure.

Young people, it's better to be down-to-earth and not always think about fancy moves like playing doubles by yourself.

You know you don't have that ability, right?

But the sudden change in the situation on the field made the principal's secretly pleased expression freeze instantly.

…………

Just as the provocation and magical flames were about to strike the unsuspecting Tibrim one after the other... (The magic mirror broke in this chapter QAQ)

A transparent barrier suddenly appeared in front of the little witch, easily blocking the two key attacks that came one after the other.

It was Tibrim who had been preparing to defend it for some time now!

Almost as soon as the referee blew the whistle, two moves were launched in a flash. How could that be blocked?

In a game, if you can predict the enemy's movements, you can certainly block them.

Even with the added element of mischief, the provocative nature of a preemptive strike is merely one step further.

The protection of the system is a priority, but it is also a priority.

However, reality is different from the game. The limitations of protection are much greater. Not only does it consume energy proportional to the power of the skill being blocked, but it also requires a short charging time.

In reality, protection requires trainers and Pokémon to carefully choose the right time to cast it.

When did Tibblimm start charging up Protect after it just came out of the Poké Ball?

Besides, I didn't hear Xia Shen give any instructions...

……

A rollover?

"It's impossible for the car to overturn," Xia Shen smiled slightly.

Normally, even if a Pokémon charges up its protection as soon as it comes out of its Poké Ball, it still can't outrun a Prankster's provocation.

Perhaps the protection provided by the [Swift] energy boost could achieve that, but Xia Shen hadn't had a chance to teach Tipbrim the [Fierce] and [Swift] moves yet.

What allowed Teebrim to unleash Protect at such a rapid speed was the inspiration Xia Shen drew from Red in the Pokémon Special manga.

In the chapter where Red and Giovanni fought, there was a magical move that Xia Shen remembers vividly—he made Pikachu charge up 100,000 volts in the Poké Ball.

What's even more absurd is when Giovanni asked the question, "Won't you get shocked by the 100,000 volts conducted in the Poké Ball?"

Red Master smiled confidently, "Because I'm wearing insulated gloves!"

Xia Shen's performance in this match was an imitation of Red's fancy maneuvers, allowing Tibblimm to charge up its power and protect itself inside the Poké Ball.

This wasn't just a whim of Xia Shen before the battle; it was the result of a week of experimentation.

This operation is certainly not easy to implement, otherwise it wouldn't have been left for Xia Shen to discover.

The first challenge is that the essential function of the Poké Ball is to shrink Pokémon and put them into the ball (secondary interpretation). So how can the shrunken Pokémon use moves?

Xia Shen's experiment showed that it was simply impossible to do so; at most, he could only condense energy. Moreover, due to the shrinking size of the individual sprites, this would require the sprites to have extremely strong energy control abilities.

Currently, only Tibrim can do this.

The second challenge, as shown in the special episode, is that Pokémon accumulate energy when charging up their attacks.

For example, Electric-type moves will conduct a powerful electric current to the trainer's hand holding the Poké Ball.

Xia Shen tried to get Tibulim to gather the super-energy needed for a mental shock, and then... he almost fainted from the shock.

Red Master got an insulated glove that could block electricity from Lt. Surge, but Xia Shen had no idea where he could get a glove that could block mental energy...

Therefore, for now, he can only have Tibrim build up his power inside the ball for protection.

Xia Shen will definitely study more uses in the future.

Currently, it only has this one and only usage.

However, although its usage is simple, its effectiveness is enough.

Just like the situation that has now been reversed on the field.

…………

[Tibrim, Trick Room!]

Taking advantage of the opponent's surprise and lack of time to react, Xia Shen decisively had Tibrim use the core move of this doubles combination - Trick Room.

Meanwhile, without Xia Shen's command, the Moonbear had already rushed towards the Grimmsnarl as quickly as possible after leaving the Poké Ball.

The battlefield wasn't very large to begin with, and just as Tibrim began casting Trick Room, Moon Bear was only a few steps away from the long-haired troll.

Now, the question is on Chen Chuan's side: should he provoke Tibrim, who is casting a spell in the distance, or bluff the Moonbear, which is right next to him and whose paw is about to strike?

You can't have your cake and eat it too; if you keep agonizing over it, it'll be too late for either one.

Chen Chuan hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, and shouted, "Long-haired troll, continue to provoke Tibris!"

In any case, there's no way she can open the magic space!

This is my bottom line as a troll trainer!

"Gerua!" Ignoring the Moon Bear beside him, the long-haired troll once again gathered the dark energy within its body, and then threw out a provocative energy wave towards Tibrim, who had been standing still in place.

Should we ignore the monthly bear?

Xia Shen couldn't help but laugh. After being teammates for so long, they probably really didn't know the power of the Moon Bear.

Alright, let them experience it firsthand today.

[Moon Bear, a powerful earthquake has just struck!]

The long-haired troll and the fiery red fox were not far apart to begin with. Since the Moon Bear could reach the former, the latter was naturally within his attack range as well.

The long-haired troll chose to let the Moonbear roam freely, and the fiery red fox had no way to control her.

If Xia Shen didn't have a violent earthquake to cool things down, he felt he would regret it so much that he wouldn't be able to eat lunch.

Then, Moonbear raised its paw high, and earth-yellow ground-type energy condensed in its palm.

Chen Chuan and Pan Yujie were all too familiar with Yueyuexiong's starting stance.

In the past, they would sit in the audience and watch as one powerful earthquake after another defeated their opponents, while they cheered and jumped for joy.

Will I finally experience the effects of an earthquake myself this time?

"Fire Fox, protect it!" Pan Yujie clearly didn't want the Fire Fox, which was twice as weak as the ground, to try, so she shouted sharply.

He almost cracked his voice when he shouted the command so urgently.

Fortunately, Xia Shen had a trick up his sleeve and used the [Powerful] Earthquake instead of the [Swift] Earthquake.

Even in the event of a normal earthquake, the long-tailed fire fox might not be able to provide protection against the nearby Moon Bear.

In short, the perfectly timed transparent barrier saved the life of the Fiery Red Fox.

A terrifying tremor spread from beneath the bear's paws, and intense ground-based energy continuously eroded the long-haired troll and the fiery red fox through the ground in the form of vibrations.

Pan Yujie watched helplessly as the long-haired troll, caught off guard by provoking Tibrim, succumbed to the continuous aftershocks of the earthquake and fell to the ground.

Although her own fiery red fox barely managed to withstand the terrifying earthquake with its protection, judging from her deathly pale face, the energy consumed by this protection was obviously not low.

But... if we hold on, there's still a chance!

They exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.

"The long-haired troll is bluffing!"

"Fire Fox, create distance between yourself and Moon Bear!"

[Bluster: Enrages the opponent, throwing them into disarray. Due to their anger, the opponent's attacks will be significantly amplified.]

The effect of the "Confusion" status in the game is that when a Pokémon uses a move, there is a one-third chance that it will instead attack itself.

In reality, it's pretty much the same; when a Pokémon is in a state of confusion, it will act or attack meaninglessly and it's difficult for it to use its moves.

It's worth noting that chaos is not among those abnormal states that cannot be stacked.

In other words, although Moonbear is currently in a burning state, it can also fall into a chaotic state at the same time.

…………

Mischief's transformation moves are fast after all. The earthquake had just ended, and the long-haired troll, still lying on the ground, used Bluff on the Gloom Bear in front of him.

Having just released the earthquake, Moon Bear, caught off guard and unable to react, instantly went into a state of chaos.

At the same time, a rich orange light, representing a significant increase in her attack power, shone from her body.

"Roar—" The Moon Bear roared furiously with its eyes bloodshot in a state of chaos, making its already fierce face even more terrifying.

Losing her senses, she was like a headless fly, rushing around aimlessly, waving her arms meaninglessly, but thankfully she hadn't started self-harming yet.

This Moon Bear really lives up to the saying, "When I go crazy, even I'm scared of myself!"

Having anticipated this phenomenon, the Fiery Red Fox had already retreated from the Moon Bear's vicinity, staying a safe distance outside its attack range, preparing for its next move.

She didn't intend to attack Moonbear immediately; in the chaotic state of reality, taking damage would reduce the time she was in that state.

If you're lucky, it's not impossible for him to wake up on the first hit.

It would be better to take advantage of this time to recuperate and strengthen ourselves.
