## Chapter Nineteen: Pay attention, this is how you use the screw mole!

"Teacher Ye, we actually have another idea." Xia Shen saw that the others were still discussing group assignments, so he decided to speak up now.

"What's wrong?" Teacher Ye asked.

"It's just...we want to fight you." Xia Shen's words shocked everyone present, except for Zhou Yuanyuan, who knew the truth.

Seeing Teacher Ye's strange expression and the Fiery Roaring Tiger's unfriendly face, Xia Shen quickly made things clear.

"It's not that we're fighting your spirits, it's that you're commanding our spirits to fight us."

"For example, if Zhou Yuanyuan defeats me in a battle within our group, and you were to command my Gible to fight another match, wouldn't that give me and Zhou Yuanyuan a different perspective?"

Xia Shen finished speaking in one breath and looked at Teacher Ye, who was deep in thought.

"A very good idea," Teacher Ye said slowly. "I think with a little refinement, it could even become a new teaching plan."

"So you agree?" Xia Shen asked in surprise.

"Don't rush, didn't I say I wanted to improve it?" Teacher Ye smiled slightly.

………………

"Alright, the group competition will now begin, with Xia Shen and Screw Mole facing off against Zhou Yuanyuan and Gible!" Teacher Ye shouted from the sidelines.

"Is this what you call perfection?" Xia Shen complained, somewhat speechless.

"Please, I have to teach a whole class of students, can you please be understanding?" Teacher Ye said matter-of-factly.

"What the teacher said makes sense, Xia Shen, let's get started!" Zhou Yuanyuan said impatiently.

He was secretly delighted, thinking, "Just wait and see how I get my revenge this time!"

Xia Shen understood Zhou Yuanyuan's thoughts and chuckled twice.

Naive!

Xia Shen tossed the Poké Ball in his hand and laughed, "Watch closely, Zhou Yuanyuan, this is how you use Excadrill!"

The surrounding classmates also gathered around to watch the match, and those who had seen the two fight that day discussed it enthusiastically.

"Can Xia Shen still win without using Gible?"

"It's hard to say, it might be part of the Education Bureau's series! We'll see."

……

The competition has officially begun.

"Screw mole, sharpen your claws!"

"Gible, charge forward and use Dragon Claw! Be careful to roll and dodge Mud Throw!"

Sharpen Claws: A Dark-type status move that increases Attack and Accuracy by one stage after use.

Xia Shen smiled slightly, knowing that he was going to imitate his playing style that day.

Who wants to play mud-throwing with you? This tactic is called waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out!

On the other hand, Zhou Yuanyuan also had her own unspeakable suffering.

If you don't copy the perfect score you got before, are you going to try to come up with the answers you might get wrong on your own?

If I had known he was just standing there sharpening his claws, I would have just unleashed a meteor shower on him.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" on the battlefield.

Pokémon battles are not questions with standard answers.

There was no other way but to bite the bullet and go for it, Zhou Yuanyuan thought bitterly.

"Gible, use Dragon Claw!"

"Screw mole, throw mud in his face!"

Xia Shen's devilish voice reached Zhou Yuanyuan's ears.

Why aren't you playing by the rules? You've already sharpened your claws, so why aren't you going to confront me head-on?

The dragon claw slammed solidly into the screw mole, causing it to cry out in pain.

At the same time, a lump of mud imbued with dark yellow energy was smeared on the face of the Gible.

Unable to see its enemy clearly, the Gible stood frozen in place, unsure of what to do.

"Screw mole, let's keep our distance and avoid it for a bit."

"Gible, it's okay, stomp again!"

The battle was fast-paced, with both sides issuing commands almost simultaneously.

However, Xia Shen has the upper hand again this time.

The gible leaped high into the air and then landed, causing the ground beneath its feet to tremble.

Unfortunately, the screw mole, which had already run out of range, was not affected.

Xia Shen breathed a sigh of relief. His first thought was that Zhou Yuanyuan would choose to use Sand Splash to hurt each other with the Screw Mole, so he originally planned to use Digging a Hole to avoid it.

On second thought, although Gible's vision was obstructed, it still had the stomp attack. Digging was not safe either, so it was better to create some distance and slow down first.

It's a pity they don't know how to protect it...

But Zhou Yuanyuan is really irritable this week... Xia Shen muttered to himself.

If Zhou Yuanyuan could hear his thoughts at this moment, he might have punched Xia Shenzhen and wanted to fight him.

Who made me so irritable?

…………

Over there, Zhou Yuanyuan was also having a rapid brainstorming session.

Calm down, Zhou Yuanyuan, and think about what Xia Shen would do if he were in Xia Shen's shoes!

The only known ranged attack method of the Screw Mole is throwing mud, but it is difficult to hit if the user is on guard.

If he chooses to charge, then I can act as the eyes of the Gible and fight back.

If he dares to burrow underground to get closer, Gible can respond with a heavy stomp.

So at this moment, all I need to do is plan carefully before acting, wait for the effect of the mud-throwing to wear off, and then slowly fight him.

The formula for victory has been found!

……

"Screw mole, keep sharpening your claws!"

"Gible, let's hold our position and watch for our next move!"

What?! You can't even see the Gible anymore and you're still sharpening your claws?

Zhou Yuanyuan was about to collapse. How could this person be even more of a scoundrel than herself?!

"Gibles, forget it, let's charge! I'll be your eyes."

Zhou Yuanyuan knew that if he let the screw-mouse keep sharpening its claws, he would definitely lose. Helpless, he had no choice but to take a gamble.

Gible, whose vision had not yet fully recovered, charged fearlessly, only to be met by the already sharpened claws of the Diglett.

"Screw mole, spinning at high speed!"

"Gible, straight ahead, scales flash!"

[High-Speed ​​Spin]: Attack your opponent by spinning, and you can also get rid of negative status effects such as Spikes, Leech Seed, and Bind.

Xia Shen wasn't trying to solve any particular state, but rather to utilize another characteristic of high-speed rotation—

Increase speed!

Faced with a screw-shaped gopher that had sharpened its claws twice, the gible was at a disadvantage in this head-on confrontation.

What followed was even worse: he used Scale Shot to increase his speed, but at the same time, the opponent also increased his speed.

However, the Gible's defense is reduced by Scale Shot!

"Alright, I give up." Zhou Yuanyuan helplessly raised the white flag.

There might be another chance if we keep playing, but this is just a training match within the group, there's no need to fight so hard.

Tactically speaking, we have already lost completely.

……

The exciting battles kept the onlookers entertained.

"Tsk tsk tsk, a frontal execution!"

These are people enjoying the spectacle.

"There's nothing we can do. Xia Shen's fighting style is both unpredictable and steady. From the moment he fell into a disadvantageous position, Zhou Yuanyuan could only be gradually eroded."

This person understood the game.

……

On the field, neither of them recalled their Pokémon. Instead, they each led their Gible and Excadrill to the field to heal their Pokémon and review their moves, leaving the field for Yan Yan and Lin Weiyu to continue their battle.

As Zhou Yuanyuan applied medicine to the wounded ground of the screw-like gopher, she remarked with a sigh, "How come you always manage to read my mind?"

"Well, it's easy to do if you have a lot of battle experience." Xia Shen rarely spoke his mind, saying that he had probably played tens of thousands of battles on the 3DS and Switch combined.

Zhou Yuanyuan: "..."

Why does a new trainer look so world-weary?
