Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

While the professional doubles arena was packed, Xia Shen and Yan Yan's winning streak had reached its sixth match.

Even more terrifying is that their spirits haven't even changed...

As yet another doubles pair left the court looking frustrated, the number of victims of the curl-up hypnosis technique has now reached double digits.

Among them are a pair of skilled professional level 3 trainers and their two professional level 4 Pokémon.

Milotic's initial two-stage accuracy boost is definitely not enough to keep her going until now.

During the fourth match, when facing a relatively weak opponent, Tokiss used his body to cover Milotic for two more uses of his hull.

Then, just like in the second match, Yu Xi regained her strength while her two opponents were asleep.

Milotic has also managed to stay in the game to this day by relying on its self-regeneration.

Before the seventh match began, Xia Shen and Yan Yan secretly discussed their tactics.

…………

"Xia Shen, should we switch Pokémon? Milotic is still in good shape, but it's getting tired and its energy is almost depleted."

This is something that will inevitably happen in the arena. The fact that Milotic, who is not even at the professional level, has been able to persist until now already shows that Yan Yan has nurtured him very well.

It wouldn't be bad to go back and take advantage of some of that "regenerative power".

This is no joke. Although in the game, a Pokémon's HP and PP do not change after switching sides (except for special abilities and moves).

In reality, when a Pokémon returns to its Poké Ball to rest, it can still recover a little bit of its condition and energy.

The longer it takes, the more it will naturally recover.

Of course, it would take at least a dozen hours to recover to full strength without external assistance.

However, taking a break now means that being able to cast one more hypnotic spell later is a win-win situation.

What if this is the final piece of the puzzle for a 20-game winning streak?

Xia Shen nodded gently, "You can switch. Tokiss can hold on for a while longer."

Togekiss doesn't have the same abundant energy as Garchomp and Zoroark, which have "slate batteries".

However, with the nurturing of various top-tier resources and exceptionally rigorous training, he is already considered a super-endurance version compared to ordinary Pokémon.

So, after the seventh battle began, Milotic unleashed its final hypnotic spell, hitting King Toad.

Yan Yan then recalled it into its Poké Ball and replaced it with its second Pokémon, Lucario, which had not yet appeared!

As Yan Yan's second Pokémon, which is close to the professional second rank, her strength in the team is second only to Garchomp.

Moreover, Xia Shen brought out all the steel stones from Xicui without missing a single one, making her combat power far superior to other Pokémon of the same level.

…………

The cool and stylish dog's appearance once again caused a stir among the audience.

Another rare Pokémon!

Are these two really that rich?

Even the local residents of Hawaii, who are generally quite wealthy, couldn't help but marvel at it.

However, considering that someone could possess such strength at this age, it would be impossible to achieve even with exceptional talent and hard work without the accumulation of top-tier resources.

It's no exaggeration to say that being a trainer is the most expensive profession in the world.

Of course, they are also the group that earns the most money.

After marveling at the third Pokémon that this couple had brought out, they refocused their attention on the match.

After all, if we win this match, we can watch the long-awaited Royal Battle in a few days.

However, any viewer with even a little knowledge of esports can see that this match is not so easy to win.

It appears that the champion's four Pokémon are all present, and they haven't even lost any stamina.

After nearly an hour of fighting, the two Pokémon hadn't run out of energy or vitality, which was already a testament to the excellent training they had received from their trainers.

Didn't that girl just replace the battle-hardened Milotic?

Although I don't know why that Togekiss wasn't switched out, I guess it didn't have much energy left.

So in reality, this match is not much different from two against four; at most, it's more like two and a half against four.

That's how it is in a tournament; no matter how smoothly things go in the early stages, you can still be suddenly killed at any time later on.

Hopefully they can win this game...

On the battlefield, the Toad King, who had entered a sleeping state, was promptly returned to the ball.

The one that took the field was an even stronger one, an elf whose aura was even faintly at the fifth stage of a professional level, the Armored Warrior!

Xia Shen's eyes narrowed. So the toad king from before was just a decoy; the real killing move was here...

Fortunately, his partner didn't cause any more trouble; it was still the legendary Pokémon without any weaknesses, a professional level 3 Eel King.

Otherwise, if two professional level 5 Pokémon were to fight at the same time, I would really have to change my Pokémon.

"Let's focus our fire on that giant eel first," Xia Shen whispered, turning his head.

Yan Yan nodded. In terms of both the strength and attributes of the Pokémon, Eelking was a better starting point.

Armored warriors who are resistant to both melee combat and steel are really giving Lucario a bit of a headache.

However, Lucario, which has quite good resistance, has only a few weaknesses that neither of its opponents have, which can be considered a kind of balance.

…………

Having agreed on their tactics, Togekiss and Lucario officially launched their attack.

Strictly speaking, only Lucario launched the attack.

The audience only saw a blur and a blue-black figure flash by.

Peng!

A heavy, dull thud, like a heavy object striking the body, was heard.

The next instant, Lucario, which had been standing still in place, appeared in front of Eelking!

He threw a single punch, the bone-spiky fist wrapped in a silvery-white light, which dented the body of the Mama Eel King!

The First Evolution

From the audience's perspective, her small but powerful fist seemed to be in close proximity to the Mama Eel King.

Lucario's seemingly ordinary Bullet Punch possesses such power!

Lucario did his best, but what was Togekiss doing?

As the audience checked Togekiss's status, they discovered that he had used that familiar move again... Watch me!

Are you looking at me like that? Why don't we all focus our fire on the Queen Eel?

Just as doubts arose in their hearts, the armored warriors moved in the next instant.

Like a heavily armored warrior clad in impenetrable armor, it launched with incredible burst speed, rapidly approaching the Togekiss that was half-suspended in the air.

His speed was far inferior to Lucario's, which was almost a blur, but for this heavy giant, it was quite an achievement.

What allowed him to break through his own speed limit was that preemptive move that could only be used at the very beginning of the game: a head-on strike!

The power of a head-on strike from a professional fifth-dan armored warrior is unimaginable; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a white dump truck.

If it were to crash into Lucario's small body, it could probably send it flying five or six meters!

But if you run into Togekiss, which has extremely high durability and four times the resistance to bugs, it's just a light drizzle.

Before the doubts from the audience could even rise, they had already turned into praise in less than a second.

Look at me, that reaction, that anticipation, I'm pretty good!

Surprisingly, this young man, despite his young age, has quite a bit of combat experience.

Keep in mind that this armored warrior had only been on the scene for two seconds.

What's more, the boy was unaware of this beforehand!

Only a native Hawaiian veteran trainer could react in the blink of an eye.

…………

The two preemptive moves, Bullet Punch and Head-on Strike, instantly divided the battlefield into two parts.

Although Xia Shen and Yan Yan had discussed the concentrated fire tactic in advance, the battlefield is ever-changing, and the pre-determined plan does not necessarily have to remain unchanged.

So, Lucario and Eelking were dealing with each other, while Togekiss was engaged in close combat with Golem.

Logically speaking, in terms of the raw strength of the Pokémon on both sides, the attacking side should have the advantage.

However, the audience noticed that in the actual battle, the two Pokémon of the champion side actually had a slight advantage.

Knowing he was at a disadvantage on both offense and defense, Lucario used his agility to throw a punch and then move to a different spot.

Although this attack was extremely inefficient and could not inflict any real damage on the Mama Eel King, she herself did not suffer much harm.

This is already a pretty good result for Lucario, who was already at a disadvantage.

On the other hand, the battle between Togekiss and the armored warrior seemed rather strange.

The audience was shocked to discover that Togekiss, a professional fourth-dan fighter who had been fighting for nearly an hour, was actually dominating the fully-powered Golem!

And it's the kind of fight that's extremely difficult to retaliate against!

Initially, after a head-on attack and close in, Golem's Rock Slide caused a lot of trouble for the Flying-type Togekiss.

But after Pokekiss's blatant electromagnetic waves struck, everything changed...

The armored warrior, now paralyzed, loses another level of speed. The trouble doesn't end there; it's the chain reaction that follows.

One step at a time, one step at a time.

Using this speed difference, Pokkis managed to create some distance between himself and his opponent.

When the armored warrior tried to close the distance again, he was met with a wind blade that had been gathering momentum for a long time.

Air Slash!

Air Slash isn't really a big deal; at most, it's just a high-damage move that's twice as effective against certain attacks.
