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

She certainly wouldn't point out Luo Ke's 'weakness' in public, but this was a competition, and she would choose the most correct strategy to win. If any spectator noticed it because of this—then she would apologize to them after winning the match.

...

Rocco was unaware of what Alice was imagining. He merely glanced at Alice on the platform before looking away.

He knew Alice was a pure trainer, so he wouldn't hold back or go easy on her.

Alice wouldn't want him to do that.

Rocco still remembers the first time he met Alice and what her condition was like.

She must have wanted to go all out!

Thinking of this, Luo Ke silently clenched his fists and closed his eyes to rest, waiting for the match to begin and for Alice to release her Dream Demon into the arena.

"Game start!"

Luo Ke waited for a while, and Li Qingtong finished the warm-up for the semi-finals and then made the announcement.

Alice also took out her Poké Ball, and with a flash of red light, she put Misdreavus into the arena!

"Chuckle—"

The little red Dream Fairy burst into laughter upon entering the arena. Sensing the atmosphere around it, it immediately transformed its joy into power!

But just then, before the power transformed from that joy could gather around it, a gigantic figure blocked its way, blotting out the sky!

The dream demon was startled, but when it saw the light emanating from Roco's feet, which were piercing the sky like battle axes, it breathed a sigh of relief.

Because Misdreavus, under Iris's guidance, had seen this move on a professional trainer's Pokémon.

A million-ton kick, typical!

In such a situation, the opponent's special move will be ineffective nine times out of ten, and there is a ten percent chance that the opponent's characteristic is courage. In this case, it is not worthwhile to play rock-paper-scissors with the opponent, and you also have to consider the issue that the opponent can change the item - so Alice had already told it that in this situation, you only need to do one very simple thing to ensure that everything goes smoothly.

Hold on!

Because the strategy was agreed upon in advance, the Dream Demon didn't need to use Alice to issue any commands. It immediately released Protect the moment it saw Rocco lift his foot!

Luo Ke also witnessed this scene.

If this were a game, then the Dream Demon could actually block this attack and then gather a large amount of Joy Energy.

But that's reality...

So Alice, this is how I respect you!

boom!

The barrier that the defenders had built was shattered on the spot by Rocco's million-ton kick!

Immediately afterward, Luo Ke's foot slammed into the head of the Dream Demon, sending it crashing down from the sky and striking the arena!

A huge crater appeared beneath Luo Ke's feet, with countless cracks spreading out in all directions!

The arena looked as if it had been hit by a meteorite, with the entire surface caved in!

When Luo Ke removed his foot, what was revealed was a dream demon whose eyes had turned into something resembling mosquito coils.

Without a doubt, the Dream Demon has lost its ability to fight.

The winner is—Luo Ke!

"Dream Fairy, you tried your best..."

Alice, standing on the high platform, recalled the dream demon, her eyes softening.

However, when she looked at Rocco and Victini walking down from the platform, her gaze became even more determined!

"...Don't worry, we'll win back sooner or later!"

"The Lorraine family's dictionary does not contain the word 'admit defeat'!"

Alice said this again, but this time she didn't directly challenge Rocco to another duel. Three consecutive defeats had made her temporarily decide against challenging Rocco.

The reason was not that she gave up, but that Roco had once again demonstrated his powerful stats, making her feel that she should improve her Pokémon's strength first, otherwise she would not be qualified to challenge Roco at all.

The reason she realized this was because her defense had been completely breached!

In the game, holding onto this move is practically an absolute defense, except in very rare situations.

But in reality, is it possible to achieve absolute defense?

It's impossible!

Is it reasonable that any Pokémon with Protect can 100% block the ace moves of the Elite Four or even the Champion?

So in reality, it's quite simple: if everyone's strength is similar, or even if there's a difference, using this move to block the attack is perfectly fine.

However, if the difference in strength is too great, it won't work if you want to block the opponent's powerful attack.

Roco tested this after capturing Victini. Not to mention Alice, the succubus, even the current Victini could be destroyed by Roco using Protect!

This isn't a mechanism at all; it's just pure numerical data!

Alice was aware of this as well, so she realized that although Roko caught Ditto on the same day as she caught Pikachu, Ditto's strength had far surpassed that of her Pokémon.

So Alice's next goal is to make her fairies stronger!

...

The first match of the semi-finals has come to an end.

Although Roco's initial encounter with Akiyama was essentially a one-hit kill, the discovery that Akiyama's Pokémon was not Machamp but Hypnos significantly diminished the impact of the instant kill.

Alice's dream monster is different.

She didn't cheat in the competition; she won entirely through pure skill!

Now that Luo Ke's 'Ditto' has instantly defeated such a powerful Misdreavus, it has greatly shocked the audience.

But it's not over yet.

The first match of the semi-finals was a quick defeat, and the second match was also a quick defeat!

Just as Rocco had predicted before the semifinals, Kelley's Naughty Bomb exploded right at the start, knocking down several Digletts in one fell swoop. Since the Digletts on the field were unable to fight, Kelley won.

Under these circumstances, Rocco and Kailis successfully advanced to the final!

And the audience could easily guess that if these two were to compete in the finals, the finals would end very quickly.

Basically, it all comes down to the first move.

Kelly immediately detonated the Electrode. Although for some reason, his Electrode did not lose its combat ability after detonating, its condition showed that even without losing its combat ability, the Electrode did not have much combat power left.

Therefore, as long as Rocco's Ditto can withstand this attack, Rocco will win as long as he retains some of his fighting power.

If he can't stop her, then Kelly wins.

It's such a simple thing, but the audience's discussion about it is exceptionally high!

The reason, I suppose, is simply because the battle situation is so straightforward and easy to understand.

Everyone can understand it and say a few words. Furthermore, because one of the Pokémon is Ditto, everyone can make some guesses. This has lowered the threshold for discussion and understanding of Pokémon battles to the lowest level!

Also because of Ditto, some professional trainers can conduct more complex discussions by combining various abilities, Pokémon characteristics, and moves.

Each circle has its own unique fun.

This is something the organizers are happy to see.

Entertainment events are only interesting if they make people happy.

In short, the audience discussed the final match in a way that felt like comparing apples and oranges.

But in reality, neither of the two finalists showed any sign of tension.

Luo Ke's side...

He wasn't nervous when he first clenched his fist to fight an elf, he wasn't nervous when he first fought an elf against a human, he wasn't nervous when he was first attacked by an armed force, he wasn't nervous when he first saw the strongest Elite Four member take action, and he still wasn't nervous when he first fought against the elf army.

So now, how can you make a mischievous grenade tense?

He had witnessed that big explosion several times, and he had even analyzed the principle behind that chaotic Z-Crystal!

Not only was I not nervous, but I also completely relaxed because I knew in advance that the Naughty Thunderball's props weren't anything dirty.

They're still playfully fighting and laughing together, you can hear their laughter even through the door!

And Kelly absolutely believed in all the decisions made by the man who never told anyone his name and only allowed others to call him 'Doctor'!

The doctor is never wrong!

The crystal he gave himself would absolutely not cause any accidents in this playful competition!

As for Rocco's Ditto being able to switch other people's held items, it doesn't matter—he made Electrode explode at the start of the finals!

Don't give him a chance to change the props!

In this way, there will be no chance of anything going wrong!

With this idea in mind, he used a special device to charge the crystal, allowing it to recover its energy during rest periods.

Meanwhile, his Mischievous Thunderbolt was placed in another special device, which continuously emitted electric currents that struck the Mischievous Thunderbolt, allowing its power to recover quickly and its injuries to heal rapidly.

Such a device is quite normal for some Electric-type Pokémon, but strangely, Electrode still has the same smile it has on the field in this situation!

Even though Jolteon is a Pokémon that often wears a mischievous smile, that doesn't mean it only has one expression.

Always wearing a smiling face that looks like a mask is not only incongruous and strange, but even a little eerie!

It was as if the mischievous Raid's thoughts and heart were suppressed by this unchanging smile.

This is definitely not normal!

This is also true.

If someone gets close to it and looks closely at its smiling face, they can actually see a hint of crimson in the small eyes of the mischievous Thunderball!

If Roco hadn't taken the field himself, but instead sent the sword sheath, it would have remembered at close range—remembering the sonic dragon that suddenly attacked the ghost ship that day, its eyes flowing with the same blood color!

"The original purpose of the cheating contest was to promote some strange and unusual new gadgets. Although it turned into an entertainment event from the second edition onwards, the original purpose has never changed."

"If a player who lost a match used any special items, those items will be added to their inventory after the match, provided they agree to it..."

Seeing the staff member explaining to her with a gentle expression, Kelly frowned noticeably, somewhat displeased, and interrupted the staff member in an impatient tone.

"So you're coming to me now about the login items because you think I'll lose?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstand. It's not that I think you will lose, but rather that you and Roco are both trainers who have made it to the finals. So regardless of the outcome, if the two of you use special items and the combination of those items and tactics can be carried to this stage, it has already proven to be a success."

The staff didn't know why Kelly was being so sensitive, but he still hurriedly offered an explanation.

Seeing him like this, Kelly's displeasure subsided somewhat, but what remained was still not a pleasant expression, but rather a cold indifference that constantly radiated a low-pressure atmosphere. This expression, combined with her still furrowed brows, was as biting as the winter wind.

"Winning in the end is true success."

Kelly first made a sarcastic remark to the staff member, and then continued speaking while the staff member was somewhat embarrassed.

"However, the Chaos Crystal that I had my elf carry is not in the same league as what those weirdos used. I am fully confident that the Chaos Crystal will help me win. So I will register the item."

After leaving that sentence, Kelly slammed the door shut, which wasn't even wide open to begin with.

boom!

The loud noise, like an alarm clock in the early morning, brought the staff back to their senses.

Even after Kelly had closed the door, he still bent over at a right angle towards the door of the lounge before leaving.

Thank you for your understanding!

Kelly, who was in the lounge, hummed softly as she heard the sounds coming from outside the door.

"Log in the item information, win the championship, and the task the doctor gave me will be completed."

He muttered to himself as he slowly walked to the computer and continued his interrupted work—organizing a map of Baping City—in the dimly lit room illuminated only by the screen.
