I beg you female trainers to give me money even if you lose!

“I will,” Yang Xiying nodded, and at this moment Lijia also spoke with a smile, “It seems that you have reached an agreement.”

"I'm also looking forward to the day when these two Vulpix grow up. Okay, it's about time, and I'm getting ready to open a gym."

“Even if tomorrow is the weekend, I can’t be lazy,” Lijia said as she bid farewell to Yang Xiying and the other woman.

“Okay, Miss Lijia, Mr. and Mrs. Nine-Tailed Fox, goodbye,” Yang Xiying and Ye Zi nodded and said goodbye to the other side.

"Nice to meet you from now on, Sakura," Yoko said, greeting the six-tailed beast on her shoulder after the event.

"Woo—" The Vulpix named Sakura cried out at this moment, and Yang Xiying also took the initiative to greet her own Vulpix Rin.

"—Since you've already discussed it with your family and decided to stay, I look forward to working with you from now on."

[There's no need for all this nonsense. You're better than me. You're the one who taught me.] Six-Tailed's voice transmitted into Yang Xiying's mind.

[—So you said you'd help me become stronger, but how exactly do you mean by becoming stronger?]

Take it slow. For now, just eat well, sleep well, and practice your moves.

Yang Xiying's lips curled up slightly. His method of teaching Vulpix was no different from teaching other Pokémon.

"...Isn't this just like what I did before?" Six-tailed Vulpix pouted. From birth, it had longed for the majestic appearance of its parents.

So they also practice their moves and various abilities frequently.

【But my plan will be more effective; it's just that you haven't seen it yet because it's only been a few days, and the Pokémon you've been battling during this time have also changed.】

"This is basically how they increase their strength," Yang Xiying replied, "Besides, didn't you see it before?"

[—My match against Ye Zi yesterday.]

Just yesterday, Yezi took the initiative to challenge him, because he wanted the two little six-tailed foxes to see what their battle was like.

Although Ye Zi admitted that her skills were not good, she could at least serve as a role model, and Yang Xiying accepted it gladly.

After all, even though the other person is a girl, if you win, she will actually give you money; she won't give you any other ambiguous rewards.

Yang Xiying also wanted to see how well Yezi's Pokémon had developed, so a five-on-five level 30 Pokémon battle was arranged.

Let's move the time forward by a day...

"Foretus! Charge!"

"Azure Flame Blade Demon! You lead the charge!"

In the arena constructed in another dimension, following the declaration of the pink-suited Yang Xiying and Ye Zi also sent out their first Pokémon!

Ye Zi chose Foretus, while Yang Xiying chose Azure Flame Blade Demon, which surprised Ye Zi.

"It's actually Azure Flame Blade Demon?"

"You saw me use the Azure Flame Blade Demon as my first weapon, didn't you?"

Yang Xiying responded calmly that Ye Zi only has a few Pokémon that she can use right now, and Big Tail, the mascot, is out.

So, the team consisted of five: Forgetos, Pokémon, Venusaur, Floatzel, and Clefairy. Of these, only Floatzel was considered—

These are all dirty tricks that can be used as the starting lineup, so Yang Xiying naturally had to let the provocative Azure Flame Blade Ghost go first.

As a result, the opposing team released Foretas...

"Tsk, Foretrus! Stealth Rock!" Ye Zi was speechless. He had only seen it once before when he was fighting against Qinglv.

However, she also anticipated that the opposing team knew that she would first eliminate support Pokémon and send out the Pokémon that knew Taunt first.

And Blastoise is such a Pokémon! That's why she also brought Forretress a Mind Herb to prevent it from being provoked.

Regardless of the situation, I can start with a standard Forretress move to prevent the opponent from switching Pokémon!

"Azure Flame Blade Demon! Bulk Up!" Yang Xiying's command followed immediately, and since Azure Flame Blade Demon had a high speed stat, she moved first!

The attack and defense were instantly enhanced by assuming a certain stance! Then, Foretus on the other side also threw out a large number of stone blades, which filled the surrounding area.

"...!"

Yang Xiying frowned slightly as she watched Yang Xiying strengthen her leaves, even though she had managed to stop the Pokémon from escaping.

However, it is also dangerous for the other side not to run away, because the Azure Flame Blade Demon has the ability to enhance its own power.

Were we just letting Foretus strengthen because he posed no threat? Actually... it seems we didn't...!

My Forretress's moveset is Stealth Rock + Light Screen + Rapid Spin + Volt Switch! Light Screen is useless against physical attackers like Azure Glaive.

High-speed spinning is a Normal-type move, so all I can do right now is, "Foretold! Volt Switch—!"

Now is the time to switch out your Pokémon, and to prevent the switched Pokémon from going into battle unharmed, Leaf chose to switch with Volt!

"Azure Flame Blade Demon, Regret Sword!" Just as Ye Zi thought, Yang Xiying chose to enhance it because she felt that Foretus posed no threat.

However, this kind of enhancement is enough once, because the opponent will realize that it is not good to directly replace the Pokémon, since the opponent has Clefairy!

"Hah—!!!" Azure Flame Blade Demon brandished his twin swords and charged forward! He arrived in front of Foretus and unleashed a cross-slash attack!

Two slash marks appeared on Foretus's body at that moment! They showed signs of molten steel!

The Regret Sword was incredibly effective, but the opponent still had one HP left due to its Sturdy nature! Then it used Volt Switch!

"TUO—!" Spinning at high speed, it crashed into the Azure Flame Blade Demon with arcs of electricity, taking away more than 10% of its health!

“Picoxi—” Then Foretus disappeared from the field and was replaced by Piccoxi. Yang Xiying narrowed her eyes as she looked at this.

"—Is this Clefairy trying to ignore my buffs with its simple characteristics?"

"...Should I say he truly lives up to his master's reputation?"

Ye Zi's expression was subtle. After witnessing the bodybuilding enhancements on the other side, Ye Zi decided to choose her own Picosi.

Because of its simple nature, it can attack regardless of the opponent's ability changes, and it is useless even if the opponent becomes more muscular dozens of times!

But the other side realized this, so they only enhanced it once...

"Azure Flame Blade Demon! Provocation!"

"Picoshi! Smash it down!"

Both sides issued their orders at the same time, but Azure Flame Blade Demon was faster, turning his twin swords into two hands and giving Pixi the middle finger!

Then Pixi instantly turned red and ran directly to Azure Flame Blade Demon, slapping Azure Flame Blade Demon away!

Azure Flame Blade Demon's health bar dropped by 35% to 50%, and his items became useless at this moment.

—It's an aura of power!

"Picosie! Keep hitting!"

"Azure Flame Blade Demon! Come back!"

Both sides issued their orders at the same time, and Yang Xiying immediately chose to switch Pokémon because Azure Blade Ghost might not be able to outlast the opponent.

Yang Xiying immediately switched to Giant Vine, because that was the only move she could use to suppress Clefairy...

Snapped--!

The giant vine was also slapped by Picosi at this moment, but the force of the slap only reduced the giant vine to less than 10% of its health.

Even less than the attack from the Invisible Rock, the Giant Vine still has 85% health left, but its items have been knocked away.

—This is a ridged melon fruit that can effectively defend against the opponent's flying attacks!

"A giant vine?" Ye Zi began to think. Although it looked clumsy, its strength was second to none.

Should I replace him? My Picosi is still under attack and shouldn't stay on the field.

"Giant vines! Parasitic seeds!"

"Picosie! Come back!"

Yezi chose to swap Pokémon, and she chose Forretress. The Giant Vine was a bit tough to gnaw on, and none of her remaining Pokémon were easy to use.

Venusaur is a Grass-type Pokémon, which makes battling against Vinegar, which is also a Grass-type Pokémon, a bit of a struggle, especially since Venusaur hasn't learned any Poison-type moves yet.

The Floating Weasel, a Water-type, was completely suppressed by the Giant Vine. Togekiss, while a Flying-type, also has a Fairy-type.

Leaf is most afraid of the opponent using a poison-type move, which is the worst for Fairy-types, especially when the opponent uses Giant Vine when Leafeon is equipped with Clefairy...

So now I can only let Forretos go, but Forretos, with only one drop of blood left, doesn't seem to be able to do much...

Because he was infected by the parasitic seed, Foretus collapsed!

PS: Update! Now there are only two chapters left to go. As compensation for this late update, there will be more later.

………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………

NO.179+180 Strange Events in Ziyuan Town...?

(The battle details in the previous chapter have been slightly modified. The second move of Azure Flame Blade Demon, Bodybuilding, has been changed to Regret Sword, so Foretus has lost his ability to fight.)

"Now your next Pokémon can enter the battle without taking any damage."

Yang Xiying responded that, facing the giant vine, the opposing team's decision to replace Picosi with Forgetos was clearly intended to have Forgetos tank for them.

Its sacrifice allows a new Pokémon to enter the battle unscathed. I wonder which one the opposing team will send out...

"...Of course I am this one, go! Togekiss!" Leaf sent out a chubby bird-type Pokémon.

Its entire body is light blue, almost white, with triangular patterns on its abdomen. This is Togekiss, a blessed Pokémon.

Since ancient times, people have regarded it as an auspicious creature, and this Pokémon will undoubtedly only appear in front of people when the world is at peace!

"So they really chose Togekiss to face the giant vine?" Yang Xiying narrowed his eyes, and then he heard the other side begin to issue commands!

"Togekiss! Air Blade!"

"Giant Vine! Switch hands!"

Facing Togekiss, Yang Xiying dared not let the Grass-type Giant Vine stay on the field. In this situation, she had no choice but to send you on the field!

Yang Xiying switched to the 3D Dragon 2, and at that moment the big bird flapped its wings, creating an energy crescent and moving towards the toy duck at supersonic speed!

Porygon2 also lost 25% of its health at this moment! Combined with the attack from Stealth Rock, its health bar dropped to around 60%!

"Polygon 2..." Ye Zi frowned slightly. This Pokémon was one she didn't know much about.

"Togekiss! Air Blade!" So she still had to see what move the opponent would make, but for now she could only use Air Blade.

After all, the scarf she gave Togekiss was a special one that would increase his speed but also limit him to using the same moves.

However, the combination of Air Blade and its own Togekiss can still bring huge benefits!

"3D Dragon 2! Trick Room!"

Faced with this thing, Yang Xiying waved his hand and prepared to give his Pokémon a speed boost!

"Pok—!"

Togekiss unleashed another energy crescent, slashing directly at Porygon2, reducing its health bar to 35%!

But that wasn't all. The energy crescent also unleashed a violent sonic wave the moment it hit 3D Dragon 2, causing 3D Dragon 2's eyes to glaze over!

——3D Dragon 2 cowered!

"Oh? Heavenly Grace Air Blade..." Yang Xiying raised an eyebrow, and seeing this, he understood what kind of setup the opposing Togekiss had.

Togekiss is a very dirty Pokémon. Yawn, let's do it again, please go first, Thunder Wave, Trick, disgusting moves, you name it.

Therefore, there are many strategies, but the most well-known one is the "God's Grace Air Blade" strategy, which is a strategy favored by players with high luck in the game!

Togekiss has an ability called Serene Grace, which adds two effects to moves. Simply put, it makes it easier to paralyze with Thunderbolt.

The Ice Beam is more likely to freeze opponents, and the Flame Jet is more likely to burn them, but for Togekiss, the best move is still that one!

Air Blade is a move that can affect the opponent's mind and make them flinch. If you cause the opponent to flinch while they are preparing to use a move, it is equivalent to getting free damage.

Therefore, the high-five attack that always causes flinching is an absurdly powerful move, while the air blade has a 30% chance of causing flinching in the game.

With the blessing of Heaven, the probability is 60%, which is extremely high, making it somewhat troublesome.

However, Leaf is his beloved disciple. Although Togekis himself did not teach her how to use it, he did teach her various support moves!

If someone insists on using Air Blade at a time like this but doesn't use things like yawning... then the opponent is probably a Togekiss who uses a scarf!

The opponent has locked their move!

"Trick Space...!" Yang Xiying frowned upon hearing the command; she had heard of this technique before!
