Pokémon, you're not allowed to expel me from human form!

When Ning Ya heard Luo Ke's question, she was really surprised that Luo Ke didn't even know these rules, but she still explained them.

"Five-on-five is a common singles rule in the league's official competitions."

"Because many trainers don't like to change their teams, their main lineup is very fixed. So the rule of bringing six trainers but only using five in battle has become popular."

"This rule allows for tactical decision-making freedom even in the final stages of the game."

"I see."

Luo Ke understood.

Just like when he plays Pokémon games and battles against other players.

In doubles, four out of six players are brought in; in singles, three out of six players are brought in, leaving some room for decision-making.

but...

If it's really true that you need to register six Pokémon, then he doesn't have that!

Even if you include Mewtwo, he only has five Pokémon.

If I had to say six...

When they played a friendly match before, Eureka told him that there was no rule in the official league matches that prohibited trainers from playing, so in that case, the trainers might really have to start warming up.

That's what Roco thought, but Victini and the others, listening to Ningya's explanation, were actually thinking that even their five Pokémon were not up to par!

Necrozma is now able to move, but because the gap in light is so large, it fears that once it fully recovers its body, it will immediately fall into a berserk state due to the pain of lacking light, and it dares not move at all.

There are only four that can fight.

So Ditto, Saber, Victini, and Mewtwo silently made up their minds to end the battle with the power of the four of them!

Luo Ke sensed his companions' emotions and agreed with their decision.

Although it's just a gym battle, and even if you lose, you can strengthen your team and come back, Roco knows that Victini hates losing the most, and it's too much trouble that she has to come here every time she battles Ningya.

So let's fight this battle and take the Grass and Tree Badge!

With this thought in mind, he stepped onto the trainer's platform.

Opposite him, Ningya, who had also stepped onto the trainer's platform, looked at Luo Ke from afar. Even here, she could feel Luo Ke's fighting spirit, so she took a deep breath and kept adjusting herself to her best condition.

At the same time, the game was broadcast live on the Eagles' league division.

That's how the King of Kings competition works; at least the league needs to see the entire process of the competition so they can understand roughly the level of strength of the newly appointed King of Kings.

So everything is ready...

[The match begins]

As the mechanical sound resounded throughout the venue, Luo Ke and Ning Ya simultaneously picked up their first Poké Balls.

Rocco's choice is Ditto.

Upon entering the arena, Ditto immediately transformed into the Locus transformation it was most familiar with, and the only one it had been studying from beginning to end.

After it completed its transformation, Rocco resonated with it using his waveguide, transferring most of his waveguide power to it, giving it the ability to reliably fire a champion-level wave missile.

At the same time, Ditto's path to becoming stronger is faster and more stable than other Pokémon. As long as it imitates Roko and gradually simulates more of Roko's stats, it can directly reach the championship without any obstacles.

So after working so hard during this period, Ditto has now officially entered the Elite Four level.

The Loko it can recreate at this level is no weakling among the Elite Four level, just like Alakazam after the Baton Pass. Using a Z-Move can push its power to the Champion level.

Holding these two cards in its hand, Ditto's eyes were filled with unwavering determination, knowing that it could only field four Pokémon.

Although Ditto can now join the Dark Heroes' transformations, Ditto still feels that this is its home turf.

Then it needs to do more and more on its home turf!

If possible, it was even prepared to end the battle right here on its own!

It will do everything in its power for this!

As Ditto was thinking this, the red light opposite it dispersed, revealing the first main Pokémon that Ningya had sent out.

It wasn't some enormous or terrifying spirit.

But it made Luo Ke start thinking after seeing it.

This sprite is...

Wind Fairy!

......

19. The best countermeasure against the Wind Fairy

There are significant differences between reality and games.

Tactics that work well in games due to their turn-based nature may not work in real life—but there are also some tactics that are perfectly usable in real life.

And the Wind Fairy... most of its classic tactics are like this!

Just one example: Whimsicott + Mega Gengar, then another one + a stun spell!

In the first round, assess the situation. Then, in the second round, Mega Gengar steps on the shadow, Whimsicott uses Prankster's priority move to attack again, and Gengar uses Immobilize to disable you.

If you can't switch out this Pokémon, what else can you do?

struggle!

Struggle until you die!

In reality, because you have to do it all over again, you can't solve the problem by using basic attacks or standing still; you can only struggle!

In addition, relying on the individual stats of the Wind Fairy, you can use skills like "Besiege Righteousness," "Besiege Endurance," and "Besiege Fist of Wrath."

Relying on this mischievous nature, they can use tactics like quick tailwinds, quick powder spreading, quick brute force, and quick substitution...

If you put this elf in the real world, its power would still be formidable!

so...

Power, come out to me!

At the very first moment of the game, Rocco immediately resonated with Ditto's Normal Z-Move!

Although Ditto didn't understand why Rocco did this, it still carried out Rocco's plan immediately!

As light burst forth from its hand, the power of the Z-Crystal surged forth, resonating with its ultimate move!

The move that resonates is—Big Bang!

Although I haven't actively used this move much since acquiring it, except for that one accident, it's definitely useful for boosting Z-Moves.

Ningya originally wanted to do something, but after seeing the familiar power on Ditto, she immediately gave up her original plan.

She didn't see Rocco dance, but the Z move still came out, which caught her off guard.

After all, even if she wanted to use a Z-Move to protect Whimsicott now, it would be too late.

There's no time for dancing.

but...

Although sacrificing Whimsicott right from the start made her a little upset, Roko's Z-Move was used, which greatly reduced the variables.

and......

"Wind Sprite, F-Sequence!"

Ning Ya directly gave this command to Whimsicott, and Whimsicott, seeing Ditto gathering tremendous power, understood Ning Ya's meaning.

boom!

At this moment, Ditto had already stepped on one foot and charged towards Whimsicott.

In that brief moment, fueled by her mischievous nature, the Wind Fairy began her final performance.

The 'sequence' that Ningya mentioned was a combination of many special moves arranged together to simplify instructions.

So the wind sprite moved its body and emitted some green light spots. Then it urged the wind to blow these light spots to the entire arena!

When these points of light landed, waves of life surged across the field, and flowers and plants sprouted.

Green grass field!

Having done all this as quickly as possible, Ditto had already arrived in front of Whimsicott.

Seeing Ditto with its chest open and right fist clenched, Whimsicott showed no panic. It simply extended its hand-like part and beckoned to Ditto.

This is its final move.

A provocation that involves going all out and compressing all your energy into one move!

boom!

As it reached out, Ditto's fist slammed into its face!

With just one hit, it was blasted into the protective wall. Because it had a lot of cotton on its body, it was flattened instantly!

It's not three-dimensional at all; it's just pasted there like a painting.

Its eyes also turned into the shape of mosquito coils, and it lost its ability to fight!

Ningya took out a Poké Ball and recalled Whimsicott.

At the same time, she also took out her second Poké Ball.

At this moment, Ditto was in Ningya's half of the field because it was attacking Whimsicott, and when Ningya released her second Pokémon, the red light was projected directly behind Ditto.

They blocked Ditto's return route, preventing it from immediately returning to Roko's side and trading with other Pokémon.

Whimsicott's final provocation can last for a long time as long as Ditto doesn't leave the field.

During this time, Ditto cannot use its transformation moves, which Ningya felt was very important, which is why she chose the F-series.

She realized that her Whimsicott had always been trained to maximize its Speed ​​to complement the Prankster ability. Before the introduction of Z-Moves, this approach wasn't a big problem, but with Z-Moves, given its limited bulk, even if it used Protect, it would still be KO'd.

So, setting aside the part about tactical planning, even if you use Endure after being hit, you're unlikely to be able to use a second move. So, given that you only have one move left, using some powder or lowering stats won't be as effective against a Pokémon like Ditto that can transform.

On the contrary, provocation is a move that limits the variations of the Phantom Tactics!

Therefore, the best opportunity to defeat this Ditto is during the taunt period!

so...

"Go, Magic Masked Meow!"

As the red light faded, the figure of Magic Masked Cat stood gracefully behind Ditto.

The moment it appeared, a green light, gathering a lot of grass-attribute energy, spread across the entire area like ripples on water. Under this light, the grass field, which was already growing, became even more lush.

But unlike the special effects that Luo Ke didn't recognize and therefore didn't see the effect of, Luo Ke noticed that when Masked Cat used this move, it was just like the previous Wind Fairy.

It also scattered many green specks of light, which then blended into the earth.

What is this?

Was it Ningya's tactical arrangement?

While Roko was pondering, Ditto had already rushed out, and Masked Meow was also facing Ditto head-on.

Masked Cat squinted its eyes as soon as it started.

As one of Ningya's early captured Pokémon, it was a seasoned veteran and immediately realized that it was not as fast as its opponent this time!

so...

There was a flash of lightning!

While charging forward, Masked Cat suddenly used this move to accelerate!

In the instant of the change in speed, it dances with the flower bombs that follow it, and unfolds the cloak-like leaves that extend from its neck, using the hairs inside to reflect light and completely hide the flower bombs.

He then dodged to another location to attract Ditto's attention.

This ability, even recorded in the Masked Meow's Pokédex, is an attack pattern it is very familiar with, which can achieve good results in most battles.

but...

Ditto and Rocco possess the power of Aura!

With a flash of blue light in its eyes, the hidden Flower Bomb of Masked Cat was instantly locked on, and Ditto itself stood in front of Masked Cat, clenched its fist, and decisively unleashed it!
