Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

Xia Shen was speechless again...

Why are all the matches these terrible?

Is it really just bad luck?

Or... has the enemy actually figured it out?

## Chapter Sixty-Six: This Lin Li Has a Big Problem (Please Read On~)

The enemy is in the dark, we are in the light.

This is a major taboo in military strategy, and it applies much more to battles between spirits.

Even in ranked matches from my past life, if the opponent could see your lineup but you couldn't see theirs...

Even if a world champion were to play this match, it would basically be a losing proposition.

Across the field, Zhao Yi still wore that smug, half-smiling expression that made Xia Shen furious.

Although it's in the wild, the rules of Pokémon battles are still followed.

If it were a real open battle, Xia Shen, who had trained for a long time in the Emerald Realm, would have already abandoned all martial ethics and charged over with Garchomp.

……

After Screwpod's Rock Slide was skillfully dodged by Skarmory, Zhou Yuanyuan decisively conceded defeat.

Knowing that this battle was not the whole assessment, Zhou Yuanyuan did not act recklessly because of his pride.

After two consecutive losses, the opponent now holds match point.

But Xia Shen's side was not discouraged at all, and Zhao Yi's side did not relax at all.

Everyone knew that the next three matches would be the key to deciding this wilderness challenge.

The third to take the stage was Jiang Chuan. Xia Shen was quite confident in Hakron's abilities.

Even now, Garchomp and Dragonite's win rate is only around 50/50.

Jiang Chuan stepped forward steadily. The person sent out on the other side was not Zhao Yi, but a fashionable young man with a cool hairstyle who looked like he knew how to play cards.

Xia Shen breathed a sigh of relief, now he just wanted to see if the opposing team would field Zhao Yi next...

But that's a story for another time. If Jiang Chuan can't win this match, there won't be a next one.

……

"Hakuron, it's all yours now!"

"Transform into a lizard and show him what you're made of!"

Is it a lizard? Xia Shen breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, at least it wasn't a disadvantageous match anymore.

Moreover, Hakron is water-resistant, and even has a slight advantage.

"Hakron, Dragon Dance!"

"Transform into a lizard, launch a surprise attack!"

Taking advantage of the fact that Dragonair had just left the Poké Ball and hadn't yet taken flight, Lizard tried to use a surprise attack to strike first.

However, Haklong completely ignored him and immediately activated Dragon Dance to enhance the first stage, which caused the opponent's surprise attack to fail.

[Sucker Punch: A Dark-type physical move that allows you to attack before your opponent. If your opponent doesn't use an offensive move, the attack will fail.]

"Hakuron, lightning speed!"

While both are preemptive attacks, Divine Speed ​​has fewer limitations.

The speed of the Dragon Dance Dragon itself increases by a level, and when it uses Divine Speed, its figure becomes like a blue and white lightning bolt.

Before Lizard and his trainer could react, Dragonair had already rushed in front of them as if it had teleported.

Before the card dealer could react, he had barely uttered a word, "Quickly, protect..."

Before the word "protect" could even be uttered, the white-glowing horn on Hak's head pierced fiercely into the body of the mutated lizard.

It wasn't over yet. Before the trainer could give any instructions, the Dragonair, which was right next to it, unleashed another breath attack on the face of the nearby Lizard.

The opponent was completely stunned. By the time the card player reacted, the transformed lizard was already like a candle in the wind, about to fall.

"I surrender!" Seeing that the situation was beyond saving, the trainer of the lizard had no choice but to give up.

The score was brought back to 1-2.

……

This predictable result did not change the somber atmosphere on the field. Those who were eliminated silently healed the elves, waiting for the next battle to begin.

Xia Shenfang is left with Xia Shen and Yan Yan. Zhao Yifang is left with Zhao Yi and Lin Li.

It can be said that the only possible winning combination for Xia Shen and his team is Xia Shen versus Zhao Yi, and Yan Yan versus Lin Li.

On the surface, this appears to be a random event with a 50/50 probability.

In essence, it was the last psychological battle between the two sides in terms of troop deployment.

Zhao Yi's smile faded as he stared into Xia Shen's eyes, trying to discern his decision.

Xia Shen smiled and responded, then turned and reported the lineup for the fourth game to his teammate, Rotom.

Then he turned around and grinned provocatively at Zhao Yi.

I've made my choice, what about you?

Xia Shen's meaningful behavior left Zhao Yi unsure of what was real and what was fake. After pondering for a long time, he finally frowned and announced his name.

"Our choice for the fourth match is Lin Li!"

Xia Shen dropped his disguise, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Yan Yan beside him, "It's okay, fight as much as you want. My little shark beat him twice when it was still a gible."

He spoke very loudly, and Lin Li heard him clearly. He held his breath and ignored him completely.

Xia Shen didn't pay attention to his reaction. He only needed to mention this kind of clever trick once, and he wouldn't have high hopes for it.

……

Lin Li and Yan Yan stood on opposite sides of the "battlefield," and in the silent atmosphere, they each threw out their Poké Balls.

Lin Li's Mighty Chicken and Yan Yan's Gible have both grown significantly in size compared to a month ago.

Aside from their outward appearance and physique, no one knows how much their individual strength has increased.

"Gible, we're ready to go!" Yan Yan gave the order with a serious expression.

Xia Shen had just reminded her that this strong chicken's special ability was [speed up], so Yan Yan naturally didn't want to drag things out and chose to strike first.

Gible approached the enemy with its short legs.

But why isn't the other side reacting at all? Yan Yan felt a little uneasy.

Xia Shen said that Lin Li's fighting style is extremely sharp, but is that what you call extremely sharp?

Yan Yan observed Lin Li and the strong chicken, whose faces remained calm and unmoved, and felt increasingly flustered.

Are you preparing to repay double?

Seeing that Gible was about to engage in close combat with Combusken, it couldn't care less about anything else at this moment, "Gible, quicksand hell!"

An intuition led Yan Yan to choose quicksand hell over dragon claw.

She breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the sandstorm successfully engulf its opponent.

In any case, Gibles will never be at a disadvantage in quicksand hell.

But the next moment, what happened on the field made her pupils shrink.

The orange-red figure, which should have been enveloped in the sandstorm, leaped high into the air and appeared in mid-air.

Is this a swallow returning?

It seems that the closest move to this in the information Xia Shen gave is Swallow Return.

No, a swallow jump can't go that high, it's a spring jump!

[Jump: A flying-type physical skill that allows you to jump high into the air before landing to attack your opponent, sometimes paralyzing them.]

Without hesitation, Yan Yan immediately shouted, "Gibles, dig a hole!"

Yan Yan's strategy was clear: first, burrow underground to avoid the damage from the strong chicken's jumping attack, and then use the second stage of the digging attack to catch him off guard.

Gible dug its burrow at lightning speed, managing to disappear underground before Mighty Chicken could land.

However, the target of the strong chicken's jump was not her.

Instead, it's the furthest distance I can jump—about ten meters away from the quicksand hell.

"Strong chicken, healthy and robust!" The calm words that Lin Li couldn't possibly utter reached the field.

It turns out that his purpose in jumping was not to attack, but to escape the quicksand hell.

More importantly, he also took the opportunity to lure Gible underground, preventing her from releasing the meteor shower and allowing her to complete her bodybuilding enhancement!

Is this strategy still Lin Li's?

Xia Shen, standing on the sidelines, was stunned. He stared blankly at Lin Li, who was completely different from a month ago.

However, the battle will not be interrupted for any reason. On the field, the orange and red lights on the Strong Chicken's body are intertwined.

Everyone knows that this is the radiance resulting from the dual enhancement of [Bodybuilding] and [Speed].

The situation has gradually tilted in one direction.
