Pokémon, Inkaros, my starter Pokémon

Since it's a battle, you have to go all out; that's the only way to respect your opponent!

One viewer commented: "[Isn't the streamer changing teams? The opponent is a master of high-level ball skills! What if your random lineup of nail-scattering teams gets targeted?]"

Shi Dou shook his head and said firmly, "No need. I said I would use a random lineup to climb the ranks, and I won't change it at the last minute. It doesn't matter who the opponent is."

This statement immediately won the praise of many viewers:

[Tough!]

[I kept my word, I'm a fan!]

[Based on this confidence alone, I'm rooting for the streamer!]

Qishu Live Room:

Qi Shu is preparing for the final qualifying match, while sharp-eyed viewers in the live chat are reminding her:

[Hey Qishu, that guy across the street, 'Speaker Squeegee Fan AG,' looks like he's a streamer too!]

[They seem to be new to this; they've only been livestreaming for two days, yet they already have over 10,000 followers.]

"Huh?!" Qi Shu's cute face showed surprise when he saw this comment. "Ten thousand followers in two days? Really? That's amazing!"

Qi Shu recalled that when he first started out, it took him more than a week to accumulate 10,000 followers. The other party achieved it in two days. This speed was terrifying. He must have real talent or something very special.

[Yes, I saw her in a video recommended by Ms. Gadria, the Unova Elite Four member. She's incredibly skilled with Wobbuffet.]

[It seems he didn't intentionally choose Wobbuffet; it was a randomly selected team, and he just improvised.]

[He seems to be using a random lineup today as well, and he's now on a 19-game winning streak.]

"Nineteen consecutive wins with a random lineup? Looks like a formidable opponent!" Qi Shu put away his playful attitude, clenched his little fist at the camera, and said energetically, "Alright, in that case, we'll go all out and defeat them! Qi Shu, Qi Shu, full power!"

The battle begins!

Choose 6 out of 6 for singles!

The lineups of both sides are as follows:

The team remains unchanged: Skarmory, Hippowdon, Acrobat, Swampert, Garchomp, and Lucario.

They still intend to use the nail-laying tactic.

Qi Shu's team consisted entirely of Electric-type Pokémon, but the team composition was clearly much more reasonable than Yoshinobu's Water-type team.

Patchet Urchin (Electric): Its hidden ability is the same as Tapu Koko's, "Electric Generator," so it's likely that it's going to create an Electric Terrain as soon as it enters the game to cooperate with Raichu and its own Pokémon.

Rotom-Washout Mode (Electric + Water): It covers Ground-type weaknesses with Water-type moves, making it an excellent Special Attacker and Wash-Up.

Morpeko (Electric/Dark type) is a Pokémon from the Galar region. Pokémon with this ability change their appearance every turn and have a unique move called Aura Wheel.

Magneton (Electric/Steel): An excellent Steel-type shield, immune to poison, with excellent resistances, and effective in synergistic defense.

Raichu (Alolan Form) (Electric + Psychic): Ability Surf Tail, its speed doubles in Electric Terrain, similar to the Swift Swim ability in the rain.

Trembling Salamander (High-spirited appearance) (Electric + Poison): Special Attacker, its ability may be Punk Rock, which enhances the power of sound-based moves.

Shidou quickly scanned Qishu's lineup, his eyes narrowing as he carefully analyzed, "All Electric-types, but the build is very well-thought-out. There's Emolga and Rotom-Sweep to defend against my most frequently used Ground-type moves, a steel-resistant Magneton, and an Alolan Raichu that might have extremely high speed under Electric Terrain. And... we have to be careful of any high-speed spinning moves that might be in their team, like Morpeko which might spin at high speed to clear the entry hazards I set up. This is a tough opponent."

Qi Shu also saw Shi Dou's lineup and blinked his big eyes: "Oh my? Another Sandstorm team? And Skarmory and Akodora? Looks like they're going to lay spiking traps~ But, against my Electric-type army, you won't have it so easy~"

P.S.: I went to look at cars, but the salesperson said that if I missed this month, there wouldn't be any better deals during the National Day holiday or November-December. I just laughed...

Chapter 29 The Strange Tree: I'm very smart!

first round:

Qishu's first move, Pappa Urchin, immediately activates its Electric Creator ability, instantly covering the entire battlefield with leaping golden electricity, forming an Electric Terrain! Electric-type moves standing on the field are enhanced in power.

Meanwhile, Shidou's first Pokémon was Hippowdon. Upon its arrival, Hippowdon was equally formidable, activating its ability [Sand Stream], unleashing a powerful sandstorm that created a unique spectacle against the Electric Terrain on the ground.

Golden light shimmered beneath their feet, while yellow sand filled the air; the weather and the site system coexisted independently.

Qishu's Pokémon were faster and gained the initiative, launching the first attack: "Urgent Slug, use Water Slash!"

Qishu knew that the Hippowdon was a Ground-type, so he used Water-type moves to counter it.

On the field, the sea urchin gathered water and violently impacted the hippopotamus. However, the highly effective water-type move only caused about two-fifths of the damage to the hippopotamus!

Qishu stared wide-eyed in surprise and exclaimed in astonishment, "Huh?! How is this possible? A Water Slash that's twice as effective should cause serious damage even to an evolved Hippopotamus, right? How come this Sand Hippopotamus is so tough?"

Someone immediately reminded them in the live chat:

[The streamer's Hippowdon is so cute! It's equipped with an Evolution Stone. Even unevolved Pokémon can get a huge boost to their Special Defense and Special Defense when equipped with this item!]

A rogue ninja has appeared in Shidou's live stream!!!

Upon seeing this comment, Qi Shu suddenly realized, "Wow! That's how it works! Is that why he chose not to evolve into Hippowdon? What a clever tactic!"

Shidou seized the opportunity and commanded, "Sand Hippo, Stealth Rock!"

In an instant, sharp rocks silently floated in mid-air above the strange tree's arena. The round ended, a sandstorm swept through, and *plop* the sea urchin sustained minor damage.

Round Two:

Qishu thinks quickly.

The Sand Hippo is too tough to be taken down quickly, and it might even use Lazy to heal. We can't waste precious Electric Terrain turns on it, so Qishu decided to switch. "Slap Sea Urchin, come back, switch to Rotom-Flush!"

Rotom-Wash (Washing Machine) appears, but as soon as it appears, it triggers the stealth rock on the field! Sharp rocks hit it, with little effect, causing some damage.

Tokito had also anticipated that Qishu would change his Pokémon. Almost simultaneously, he ordered, "Hippowdon, come back and switch to Skarmory."

With a flash of light, Skarmory made its appearance.

Round 3:

When Qi Shu saw that Shi Dou had switched to Steel/Flying, Skarmory, which was weak to Electric, he was overjoyed and immediately commanded, "Good opportunity, Rotom, use Thunderbolt!"

"Armored Bird, Scatter Water Chestnuts."

Both issued commands simultaneously, and with the added power of the electrical field, the 100,000-volt burst was incredibly powerful!

boom! ! !

The golden lightning bolt struck the armored bird precisely.

The effect was outstanding! Skarmory's health bar was instantly emptied. However, just as its health was about to drop to zero, Skarmory's ability "Sturdy" activated. When it was at full health and suffered a fatal attack, it would retain the last 1 point of HP. Skarmory stood stubbornly and did not fall down.

"Huh? The sturdy trait?!" Qi Shu exclaimed in surprise.

But this is not over yet!

Through a series of events including withstanding 100,000 volts, triggering Steady Shot, and triggering Red Card, Skarmory stubbornly completed the task of laying the first layer of Spikes. Then, the Red Card effect on Skarmory was triggered, and a blinding red light flashed.

[Red Card] Activated, forcing the attacking player to leave the field!

Before Rotom-Rush could even celebrate, it was forcibly pulled back into its Poké Ball by a force of the rules. As the team list scrolled, Magneton was forced to make its appearance.

As soon as Magneton appeared, it triggered the Stealth Rock on the field. Then, because it doesn't have the Levitate ability, it stepped on a layer of Spikes that Skarmory had just laid.

Immediately, a series of explosions rang out.

Stealth Rock is generally ineffective against Steel-type Magneton, but the combined damage from Stealth Rock and a layer of Spikes can still instantly take away nine-sixteenths of its health.

Magneton was reduced to low health as soon as it entered the field.

"Aaaaaah!!!?! It's a Red-Card Sturdy Skarmory?! Who taught you to play Skarmory like that?! I'm so angry!!!"

Seeing this terrible scene, Qi Shu couldn't help but shout his complaints at the screen.

This combination of moves was completely unexpected.

Her perfect prediction and type-advantageous attack not only failed to defeat Skarmory, but the opponent also used the Sturdy ability and Red Card combo to save Skarmory, forcing her to switch out her Rotom-Sweep and successfully set up Spikes.

On the contrary, we found ourselves in a passive position!

Round 4 - Round Continued:

On the field, Skarmory is faster than Magneton with low health.

Tokito: "Skapper, keep throwing water chestnuts!"

The armored bird quickly spun and released spikes, instantly completing the second layer of spikes.

Qishu gritted his teeth: "Magneto, finish it off with 100,000 volts!"

Magneton's Special Attack is boosted by the "Specialist's Gloves," but it doesn't matter even if it doesn't, as Skarmory with only 1 HP left can't even withstand Rattata's Tackle.

[The Skarmory is unable to fight!]

"Come back, Skarmory! Go, Garchomp!"

Garchomp makes its appearance, exuding immense power.

Shi Dou: "Dragon Tail".

Because of the special glasses it was wearing, Magneton could only use Thunderbolt again, which was naturally ineffective against Garchomp, while Garchomp simply lashed out with its Dragon Tail.

Although the effect was minimal, the Pokémon was forcibly changed.

The red light flashed again. This time, Shidou was not very lucky. The one that appeared was Rotom-Sweep, which was strong enough to rival Garchomp!

At the end of the round, Rotom-Rush took a minor hit, and the sandstorm that lasted for five rounds ended because the Sand Hippo wasn't carrying Sandy Rocks that would prolong the weather.

The biggest threat right now is this Garchomp; it must be eliminated. If Garchomp isn't eliminated, all other Electric-type Pokémon will be restricted.

"Rotom, use the water cannon while it's still there."

Qishu chose a water cannon, which was powerful but had an unstable hit rate, aiming for a one-hit kill.

In the brief moment when Rotom began to gather water-attribute energy and prepare its water cannon, Shidou made a keen prediction: "Garuda, come back, switch to Hippowdon!"

A flash of white light appeared, and Hippowdon reappeared, activating its ability [Sand Stream]. A sandstorm once again enveloped the field. Almost at the same time as the sandstorm appeared, Rotom's Water Cannon roared in and accurately hit the newly arrived Hippowdon.

Outstanding effect!

[The sand hippopotamus has lost its fighting ability!]

The comments section immediately started flooded with messages:

The hippopotamus has been sacrificed; it was a perfect sacrifice, intended as a weatherman.

The Sand Hippopotamus saved the Garchomp.

[But Tokito has already lost two Pokémon, while Kijuu hasn't lost any yet, and Rotom-Crush is present. Who could possibly be its match?]

[Yeah, neither Garchomp, Swampert, nor Lucario seem to have an effective move to deal with Rotom-Scrub.]

[Rotom Washing Machine is so powerful, its stats are perfect.]

What should a streamer do?

The drawback of random team composition is now apparent: how can you beat Rotom without Grass-type moves?

Since Rotom-Flush is a floating property, Garchomp's Earthquake is ineffective.

Although Qishu lost PP from Hydro Pump, he felt it was acceptable. A slight smile appeared on his lips, revealing his fangs: "At least we've dealt with the Sandstorm setter, and with Rotom-Sweep on the field, their Garchomp won't dare to switch in easily. The remaining Swampert is a Water/Ground type, and Lucario's Steel/Fighting moves can't take down Rotom-Wash... The advantage is on my side!"

Just when everyone thought that Tokito would send out Garchomp to force an attack, or switch to Swampert or Lucario to try to maneuver, Tokito's next move left everyone speechless.

The Poké Ball that was thrown contained... a Cordora.

Moreover, it's only level 1 CocoDora.

The tiny, steel-clad Cocodor appeared before the mighty Rotom-Scrub, creating a stark contrast.

The audience was shocked!

The barrage flooded the screen:

【? ? ? 】

【CocoDora?! And it's only level 1?!】

[Has the owner gone mad? Did you forget to adjust CocoDora's level?]

What's going on with this streamer? Did they send him here to deliver freebies?

[Ready to surrender???]
