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

Even so, it's still a bit embarrassing to say it outright, since it's somewhat unbecoming of a gym leader.

"Vaminus! Thunderbolt!" Anyway, the match has started now, let's fight the other side first!

"Foretrus! Light Wall!" Yang Xiying's command followed immediately, and then the stag beetle was also covered in golden arcs of electricity.

Finally, a golden bolt of electricity was unleashed, striking Foretas! Foretas was instantly enveloped in golden lightning!

His health bar dropped by 80% in an instant, but Foretus still managed to build a wall, so his mission was complete!

"It's Light Screen..." Lt. Surge's expression darkened slightly. This move can halve the power of his Pokémon's special moves.

This is to prevent myself from harming Yang Xiying's other Pokémon, and I don't seem to have a way to break this barrier yet.

"Vaminus! Thunderbolt!" However, Lt. Surge continued his attack; taking down the opponent was the right thing to do!

"Forretress! Reflect!" Yang Xiying continued setting up walls, as this would create the best stage for the Pokémon to follow!

Unfortunately, even with Light Screen, Forrettos was no match for Thunderbolt and collapsed instantly!

"You've worked hard. Now I'll settle this score for you. Go!" Yang Xiying dispatched her capable henchman, Cangyan Rengui, at this moment!

"Another Pokémon I've never seen before?!" Lt. Surge was momentarily surprised and uncertain; this person seemed to be testing him!

"Sword Dance!"

Yang Xiying waved his hand, and the Azure Flame Blade Demon began to dance. With the Light Wall present, the attacks from the Vulcan Cannon Bug posed no threat to him!

"Vaminus! Thunderbolt!" Lt. Surge followed closely behind! Regardless, let's test the waters with some moves first.

He dares not change the person now!

Swish-! ! !

However, the speed of the Azure Glaive is still faster. The Azure Glaive has a +2 Attack Power, and then the Vikadounon hits the Azure Glaive with a Thunderbolt, dealing 35% damage!

"..." Lt. Surge felt the pressure. Allowing the opponent to strengthen themselves like this was not a good thing; it seemed like they were going to lose...

"Azure Flame Blade Demon! Regret Sword!" Yang Xiying continued to issue commands, and Ma Zhishi also issued commands as if he were opening a canopy!

"100,000 volts—!"

Struggling was futile, and the shovel beetle was directly cut down by the Azure Flame Blade Demon, whose health bar was then fully restored!

"It actually restored HP, and this move... is it a fire-attribute move?" Lt. Surge realized something at that moment.

"What a coincidence, isn't it?"

Yang Xiying's lips curled up slightly. He brought Azure Blade Ghost with him to deal with certain Pokémon that, although they were Electric-type, were also afraid of Fire-type moves.

—I just didn't expect the opponent to use a Bug-type Pokémon right from the start.

“Yes, what a coincidence,” Lt. Surge took a deep breath and sent out his second Pokémon, a blue lanternfish!

Lantern! Living in the deep sea, it's a Pokémon known as the Deep Sea Star! It emits a blinding light to stun its opponents!

Water and electricity properties!

PS: Update!

NO.239+240 display their prowess in the face of wind and dew?

"Hahaha, a complete defeat! What an amazing trainer boy!"

The Azure Flame Blade Demon had no chance to fight back against the two-stage attack, even if they sent out the Lanternfish, which has water and electric attributes and can counter fire swordsmen.

The Regret Sword is a water-attribute weapon that can resist the Azure Flame Blade Demon, but the Azure Flame Blade Demon knows more than just fire-attribute moves.

There's also melee combat! It took away 90% of the Lighthouse's health, and the Lighthouse's damage was halved due to the Light Wall.

Even the 90-power Surf only dealt 40% damage to the Azure Blade Demon, although the Light Wall also disappeared in this turn.

However, the Lighthouse was also low on health, so it was directly taken down by the opponent's Regret Sword, leaving the opponent with about 60% health.

Finally, I switched to Raichu, the evolved form of Pikachu in the Kanto region, which is much better than Pikachu's fragile body.

Reicuna is stronger, with greater power and speed, and Lt. Surge has great confidence in it.

However, before that, he also planned to follow Yang Xiying's example and strengthen himself through a scheme! He would use his brain to make his mind more agile!

Increase your special attack by two stages, so as long as you have the right to attack, you will have the ability to push the team, although this will give the opponent the opportunity to kill you instantly.

After all, that Azure Flame Blade Demon did look quite fierce, but I was wearing an aura sash, so even if the opponent's attack was fierce, it would still take two hits!

Therefore, the key now is whether your Pokémon have any chance to attack against the opposing Blademaster.

Lt. Surge was quite uneasy about this, worried that Raichu wouldn't be as fast as Azure Blade Demon, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Raichu use Trick first.

I have the right to make a move. Although the opponent's Regret Sword skill brought Raichu to low health, depleted his morale, and restored his health to full, it was still quite impressive.

However, even if the opponent had 100,000 lives, they couldn't withstand the enhanced Thunderbolt from Nasty Plot. However, the opponent also had a Focus Sash!

Seeing Raichu killed by the opponent's Regret Sword, Lt. Surge suddenly realized that the Azure Blade Demon's Regret Sword and the Spirit Sash were a perfect match...

"You flatter me," Yang Xiying replied. "Mr. Lt. Surge, as the leader of the Electric-type Gym, has almost completely defended against his own weaknesses."

"If I just use a Ground-type Pokémon that's super effective against Electric, I might get screwed up," especially since the opponent started with Vikadounon and Triton.

If you honestly let Dugtrio go first, you'll easily suffer a loss, as its Levitate ability makes it immune to Ground-types and also immune to Dugtrio's Sand Burrow ability.

Although Dugtrio has moves that are super effective against Rock-type moves, it is difficult for a pure Ground-type Pokémon to achieve a one-hit KO.

Vikadouge can turn the tables on Diglett because it knows Grass-type moves and has a Special Attack stat of 145!

Furthermore, Dugtrio's HP base stat is very low, so he has to be well-prepared before sending Dugtrio into battle.

Let's take a look at the other Pokémon to see what kind of setup the opponent will have. As a result, Blademaster actually used Light Screen to boost its strength and swept the team.

To be honest, this was the first time he felt that a gym challenge would go so smoothly, and the light wall he activated made him a fortune!

"Haha, I did make corresponding preparations to deal with the weakness of electric properties."

Lt. Surge's approach is based on the understanding that even when facing weaknesses, Electric-type Pokémon have the power to turn the tide.

"—It's a pity you don't follow the usual path at all."

As a result, the opponent didn't fall for this tactic at all. Instead of using Pokémon with a type advantage, they relied on the deeper power of Pokémon.

This guy can achieve victory by using different combinations of Pokémon; he doesn't need any guidance.

"In short, you already have the ability to obtain the Gym Badge and my TM100kJ/Twitch," Lt. Surge got to the point.

"Of course, there will be even better rewards for challenging level 50. You shouldn't refuse, since you came here with the attitude of challenging the sect."

“Uh… do I look like I have such ill intentions?” Yang Xiying was speechless for a moment when she saw Ma Zhishi’s meaningful expression.

“After all, you have a lot of presence, both in Pokémon and in yourself,” Lt. Surge replied, feeling like this guy was really challenging them!

Because the opposing Azure Flame Blade Demon's level is close to 70! That's already at the level of a regional champion!

—What's the point of challenging a gym with a monster like that?! It must be a knock-off!

"So, shall we continue the challenge?" Lt. Surge wasn't one to back down easily, and he got excited when he met a trainer like this!

"..." Yang Xiying remained silent. It seemed that even Ma Zhishi felt he had given it his all. Was Feng Lu also...?

Yang Xiying basically fought with all her might, and in an extremely pretentious way, because that would intimidate others!

He wanted to intimidate Feng Lu! He didn't want to fight him, because if he continued like this, he would end up dragging the new girl into it again.

Although Feng Lu's appearance and personality were indeed to his liking, combining cuteness and sexiness, one should still have basic moral principles and avoid such situations if possible.

Therefore, he wanted to make Feng Lu back down, and now that she had witnessed his strength, she should reconsider whether or not to continue the fight...

"..." Then Yang Xiying saw Feng Lu, whose eyes were sparkling, greeting him in a friendly manner from the audience seats next to the dojo room.

She seemed even more excited...

“Of course, I will continue to take on the challenge,” Yang Xiying said, looking at Ma Zhishi, whose expression became even more meaningful.

"Oh, you've become more motivated under Fenglu Girl's attention? Indeed, Fenglu Girl is a good girl too."

He noticed Yang Xiying's earlier gaze towards Feng Lu, so he realized that she was trying to impress the girl she liked.

"Even so, I won't go easy on you going forward. If you want to pursue a girl, you still have to rely on your own efforts."

"..." Yang Xiying suddenly fell silent. She felt that the other side had misunderstood something and suddenly didn't want to fight anymore. What should she do?

"Let's begin, a level 50 five-on-five Pokémon battle," Yang Xiying took a deep breath and then revealed a card.

"Okay, let's begin!" Lt. Surge revealed his Trainer Card, which overlapped with Yang Xiying's Card, and they entered the alternate dimension to configure five Pokémon!

"Go, you naughty ball!"

"Foretus! You lead the charge!"

With the announcement from the stick figure in the pink suit, both sides began to send out their starting lineups, with Lt. Surge releasing an oversized Poké Ball!

Yes, the white base of the Poké Ball takes the shape of a head, but with a rather cartoonish face on top.

Voltorb, a ball-shaped Pokémon, explodes at the slightest provocation, earning it the fearsome nickname "Bomb Ball."

Yang Xiying started with her usual friends, while looking at the opposing team's Volibear in deep thought. Volibear...

It is a Pokémon with an extremely high base Speed ​​stat of 150, which makes it very easy for it to get the first turn.

And its moves include...

"Foretos! Invisibility Rock!"

"Playful Troll! Provocation!"

The orders from both sides were issued at the same time, and the one that made the first move was naturally the Naughty Bullet with its incredible speed!

Suddenly it rolled in front of Freytus and made a face at him. Freytus was annoyed for a moment, but quickly returned to normal!

Because the phantom of the Mind Herb appeared above Foretus's head, he became immune to provocation and then spun at high speed!

Numerous sharp rock blades were released directly from within the body, spreading across the entire area, silently lurking something.

"..."

Lt. Surge's face turned pale. He had a bad feeling when he saw Forrettos earlier, so this time he specially brought a Pokémon that knew how to provoke!

As a result, the opponent, carrying Mindful Herb, successfully used a status move, and it was an Invisible Rock that was difficult for me to defend against.

If I had known, I would have used Reflect or Light Screen with the opponent—his Electrode is such a support Pokémon.

"Playful Troll! Provocation!"

However, the effect of Mind Herb is only temporary, so now that it's all used up, it feels even more of a waste not to provoke it anymore.

After all, Forretos still has three moves he hasn't shown yet, and who knows how sinister those moves are!

Of course, by provoking someone, you've already revealed your hand, and the opponent is very likely to use an offensive move or switch Pokémon.

—But it's worth it as long as it prevents the other side from doing anything else.

"Foretos! Volt, take over!"

Yang Xiying switched to Volt. He knew from the beginning that Volt would provoke, and Forretos, carrying Mind Vanilla, could defend against it.

But that thing is a one-time use item, so the other side is likely to continue to provoke us, so we should use offensive tactics!

Voltorb struck again, and this time it truly enraged Forgetus. The Steel Fruit flashed with electric arcs and spun at high speed, sending Voltorb flying!

However, she only lost 10% of her health, since Volt Switch is an Electric-type move with a Special Attack, but Yang Xiying successfully switched Pokémon!

He chose the three-horned voles!

"...!" Seeing that Lt. Surge, the three-legged mole, had finally realized that he was already following the rhythm of the other side.

Because the Dugtrio on the other side is an extremely overpowered Pokémon, he can't switch it out right now! The Dugtrio on the other side even has the rare Sand Burrow ability!

So, when facing this thing, Voltorb is doomed, but at least it should wait until it uses that move before...!

"Electromagnetic! Reflect!" Electromagnetic is faster than its opponent, so this move is used to increase its own defensive capabilities!

—And the Pokémon on the other side all seem to be physical attackers!
