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

Creating a strange field, the slower Pokémon will strike first before the faster Pokémon; her Togekiss is wearing a stylish scarf.

Its speed already surpasses most of Master Yang's Pokémon! This means his own Togekiss will be slower than the opponent's!

Therefore, the strategy of using Air Blade to counter fear is ineffective, because fear is different from status effects such as sleep, paralysis, and burn.

It's not permanent, but only lasts for a few moments, interrupting the opponent's upcoming move. Simply put...

—Only by attacking those who cower will it be effective!

"Togekiss! Air Blade!" But Xiaoye continued to attack, choosing not to switch Pokémon.

After all, this way the opponent can get a free chance to use Trick Room, and none of my remaining Pokémon are slower than the opponent's!

Moreover, the opponent hasn't even managed to use it yet, since they just backed down. So this time, I can take a gamble!

At this moment, the leaf begins to synchronize completely with Togekiss, which will increase the probability by 1.5 times!

"3D Dragon 2! Continue with Trick Space!"

Yang Xiying took action again. Although the toy duck only had 35% health left, he didn't plan to replace it because there was no one else to replace it with.

Even though my own Pokémon are all slow, switching them in doesn't change the result, even though I have a Crusaders that's obsessed with Scarves.

However, being a Fighting-type Pokémon, it's doomed against Togekiss, which can only switch in unscathed after Porygon 2 is defeated!

However, Yang Xiying still wanted to take a gamble. He was completely synchronized with 3D Dragon 2, sharing the fear so that he could use his moves!

Boom——! ! !

At this moment, the two trainers also unleashed golden flames, which made the two Pokémon even more energetic!

Togekiss unleashed another Air Blade, slamming it directly into Porygon2, instantly reducing the toy duck's health bar to 3%!

But this time its eyes didn't glaze over; instead, they released pink energy. Trick Space, successfully used!

"...!" Ye Zi's eyes widened at this moment, because the other side had resisted the state of cowering through perfect synchronization!

"Come back, Tokis!"

Leaf is also directly replaced with a Pokémon. Since Trick Room is already open, there is no need for it to stay on the field now.

Air Blade only grazed Porygon2's skin. Strange, was Porygon2 really that tough?

Based on its base stats, even if the opponent's Special Defense is maxed out, my Togekiss can probably only take away about 30% of its health...

"3D Dragon 2! Self-Regeneration!"

With the magic space activated, Yang Xiying's side gained the initiative. In any case, let 3D Dragon 2 recover its HP first!

"Bana—!"

In exchange for Tokkiss was a huge blue reptile, shaped like a frog, with a cluster of flower buds and banana leaves on its back!

This is Venusaur, the final evolution of the Pokémon Bulbasaur, whose leaves originally grew to this stage, making it very reliable.

Although I don't know what other moves Porygon2 has, Leaf is confident in the defensive capabilities of his Venusaur!

However, the opponent's self-regeneration move restored my HP to 60%!

"Venusaur! Sleep Powder!"

"Poliwrath 2! Tri-Attack!"

Both sides issued commands at the same time, but this time it was Yang Xiying's Porygon2 that launched the first attack! It immediately used its STAB move!

Because the opposing Pokémon team had two Pokémon that were weak to Electric, Yang Xiying equipped Porygon2 with the following moveset: Thunderbolt + Triple Attack + Recover + Trick Room.

Boom——! ! !

Three beams of different colors struck Venusaur directly, causing its health bar to drop by 30%. Venusaur's movements also became sluggish due to the yellow beam!

Arcs of electricity crackled around it, and Venusaur was paralyzed. The Triple Attack has a chance to inflict a status ailment on the opponent.

—And this is a choice between paralysis, burns, and freezing!

However, Venusaur persisted in spraying green powder from the buds on its back, directly enveloping Porygon2!

Porygon2 has fallen asleep! Leaf equipped Venusaur with a Wide-Angle Lens, making it easier for Sleep Powder to hit!

"Now both sides are in an unusual situation," Yang Xiying said with a subtle expression. He had 3D Dragon 2 use triple attack to test the strength of the opponent.

I didn't expect to paralyze the opponent, but his 3D Dragon 2 was also put to sleep, so it can't continue to regenerate...

"But I can still move around for a while, Venusaur! Leech Seed!"

Leaf's lips curled slightly. She could perfectly synchronize the first three rounds of paralysis on Venusaur, and there were still two rounds left!

She chose Leech Seed, so she wouldn't lose out regardless of whether the opponent switched Pokémon or not, unless the opponent used Vinegar to battle her.

"3D Porygon2! Regenerate!" Yang Xiying didn't dare to switch to Giant Vine, because the opponent was a Venusaur with the Poison type.

It might even have poison-based moves...

Now all I can do is wait for Porygon to awaken or sacrifice it to get another Pokémon. Ugh, that means all that effort I put into building my Trick Room was for nothing...

Porygon2 was unable to use its moves because it was asleep, and then it was covered in vines, reducing its health bar to 3%!

—The leaves' Venusaur's health bar has also recovered to 80%!

"Venusaur! Giga Drain!" Ye Zi waved her hand, starting Venusaur's attack, while Yang Xiying also had Porygon-2 continue!

The two spent several rather boring rounds, because even with the Seed Parasite, 3D Dragon2 could still last three rounds with the help of Giga Drain!

Furthermore, Venusaur will be paralyzed and unable to act for one turn, during which time Porygon2 will also wake up and continue to regenerate and use Trick Room.

The two sides pulled at each other like this, and this was only the beginning of their battle... So let's go back to the current betting period.

[Both my Pokémon and Leaf's Pokémon delivered outstanding performances in that battle, didn't they?]

I suppose so.

Upon hearing Yang Xiying recount yesterday's battle, Rinliuwei fell silent for a moment. Could it be said that it almost fell asleep while watching yesterday?

Although watching the seniors use various moves looks cool, it's still a bit incomprehensible and impressive to it.

However, the sense of maneuvering in battle is something I really need to learn; just attacking blindly doesn't feel very good...

—It's also quite good to inflict various negative status effects on the opponent.

"It's good that you understand. You can take your time to become stronger," Yang Xiying said, patting the head of the person opposite her. This child was too impatient.

Some battle rhythms don't suit me, and Vulpix is ​​primarily a support Pokémon, so once Sunlight is on, I can just switch it out.

—When using moves, you also need to consider whether the opponent is weak to Fire-type Pokémon.

"Well, Master, now that everything is settled, I'll continue my journey," Yoko said with a smile, holding Sakura Mutsuki to her chest.

"I understand."

Yang Xiying nodded. Ye Zi had said this morning that they would head to Fuchsia City to get their sixth gym badge.

It's also a good thing for me, because it's really stressful for someone like me to travel with teenagers.

"If you miss my cooking in the future, you can come to me anytime."

“Hey, Master, I won’t hold back if you say that,” Ye Zi immediately smiled. “And I won’t lose the next match.”

The reason she was so hesitant to part ways with her master was because she had lost to him yesterday, and she felt extremely unwilling to accept it...

“It’s good to have such ambition,” Yang Xiying raised an eyebrow and responded generously, but in reality, she also felt a little sweaty.

Because yesterday's battle lasted for almost an hour, which is more than ten times slower than a normal Pokémon battle!

The match felt like a close contest, indeed, both sides' Pokémon lineups were biased towards defense.

The battles will take longer! If it weren't for my good patience, I would have almost let Ye Zi graduate. That girl is really talented!

Even though I've only been teaching for a month, and there's something off about the smiles the other side showed after their defeat...

"However, I also look forward to that day," but as a teacher, Yang Xiying couldn't possibly dampen her students' enthusiasm!

"Mm," Ye Zi nodded with a smile, and then started packing her luggage with a smile as well, with Yang Xiying helping her!

Afterwards, to see her beloved student off, Yang Xiying got off and walked with them toward the entrance of the Pokémon Center.

"...Hey, have you heard? Lavender Town has started getting haunted again."

In the central hall, Yang Xiying and Ye Zi, with their keen ears, overheard something quite intriguing.

“…!” Yang Xiying and Ye Zi slowed down, wanting to hear what the other side had to say.

"Really? Doesn't Lavender Town have Sabrina, the Sapphire Gym Leader, and a psychic who helps suppress spirits?"

"That's right, but just a short while ago I saw local security at the Golden City border take in a severely injured superhuman."

"His whole body was emitting a purple aura, and he kept muttering 'ghost, ghost, ghost' and such. This is clearly a sign of possession."

"—Judging from the typical plot of ghost stories, something has clearly happened in Ziyuan Town!"

“…!” Upon hearing this, Ye Zi frowned and then looked at Yang Xiying.

"Master, I want to go to Ziyuan Town to take a look. I'm a little worried about Miss Nazi..." Ye Zi hesitated as she spoke.

—Because this decision is somewhat risky and irrational.

“…Heh,” Yang Xiying patted the head opposite her through the leaf hat and said with a light laugh, “I’ll go with you to take a look.”

Although it was a troublesome matter, he couldn't just leave Ye Zi alone, especially since the system had just given him a task.

[Unlock Quest: Gates of the Underworld]

Investigate and resolve the strange events that have begun to occur in Lavender Town. Rewards: 100 Restore Pills, 1 Master Ball, 50 Ultra Balls, 30 Rare Candies.

[10 Specialty Plasters, 30 Vitality Blocks, 1 Cleanse Charm, 1 Curse Charm, 1 Cursed Doll Evolution Stone, 1 Sableye Evolution Stone!]

[Gengar Evolution Stone x1, Celebration Armor x1, 30 Pokémon Moves for Battle, Bonded with ???...]

[Mission Failed: One of the above rewards will be randomly awarded. The entire population and Pokémon of Lavender Town have been wiped out! A major crisis has struck the Kanto region!]

It seems there's a reason I can't not go...

P.S.: I'm going to write something a bit more exciting ().

PS: The main reason for writing about Leaf's battle was to write about Floating Weasel, but plans can't keep up with changes.

Preparations made for NO.181's journey to Ziyuan Town...

This mission seems incredibly challenging no matter how you look at it...

Looking at the new task issued by the system, Yang Xiying couldn't help but feel a little nervous. One hundred full recovery medicines, which is worth about 30.

Miracle Candy, also known as Strange Sweets, is extremely effective at treating Pokémon injuries and status conditions.

This is equivalent to turning advanced battle videos into something like memory bread, allowing Pokémon to gain a lot of experience points.

Now, feeding a few Azure Flame Blade Ghosts will level them up, and they are extremely rare on the market. Just as rare are special-effect plasters.

Vitality Block is the superior item to Vitality Shard, followed by Cursed Doll Evolution Stone, Gengar Evolution Stone, and Sableye Evolution Stone.

I've basically got all the Mega Evolution Stones for Ghost-type Pokémon, and the Celebration Armor is also an evolution item for Ghost-type Pokémon.

Moreover, it is still Tanjiro, the form before the evolution of Azure Flame Blade Demon, except that Tanjiro used this to evolve into Crimson Armor Knight.

—The Azure Flame Blade Demon uses a cursed armor with a name similar to that of a certain classic game…

Ultra Balls need no introduction; they are the most widely used high-level Poké Balls on the market, offering a more comfortable environment than regular Poké Balls.

Simply put, it's about transforming a rental house into an apartment. After becoming successful, Yang Xiying also changed the living environment of her Pokémon, turning them into Ultra Balls.

This makes it easier to withstand their increasing power; Ultra Balls can accommodate Pokémon below level 80.

As for the Master Ball, which is also a type of Poké Ball like the Ultra Ball, Yang Xiying had basically never heard of it in this world.

Perhaps because this thing is so heavy, the game is designed so that it is guaranteed to catch wild Pokémon with the best performance Poké Ball.

However, whether this is true in reality remains to be seen, since there are Master Balls that are eaten by King Gryphon in the anime.

This real-world Poké Ball cannot restrict the Pokémon's freedom; it can only mark the Pokémon to prevent it from being captured by other Poké Balls.

What truly subdues Pokémon is human force and emotion; it can only be said that Pokémon inherently possess the characteristic of obeying the strong.
