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

So Yang Xiying had to gamble again, gambling that her Pokémon wouldn't be poisoned and that her Pokémon could defend against surprise attacks.

Hazelnut Ball has experience in dealing with surprise attacks, and Yang Xiying can consult him on how not to attack when she realizes that the other side is about to launch a surprise attack.

Therefore, Yang Xiying did not issue any instructions after the Azure Flame Blade Ghost accelerated, because the Azure Flame Blade Ghost understood that there was only one thing to do next.

With the same fate, she only needs to find the right opportunity to use it. Moreover, Yang Xiying was worried that the other party might react immediately and stop her.

This is a game that is both turn-based and non-turn-based; the opponent can make their Pokémon miss or change their moves in time.

So this is a gamble, and in the end, Blue Green didn't disappoint him. Nidoking was a very standard setup, and he won the game.

Regardless of whether it was technically sophisticated or not, he won! He won! Haha ...

"So should I go for Nidoking first?" The battle was completely over, and Green, who had retrieved Nidoking, came over and handed over a few banknotes.

He is now reviewing the battle, and upon seeing the opponent's Azure Blade Ghost, he realized that it was trying to use Taunt to disrupt Umbreon.

His Umbreon did indeed come with three support skills: Protect to guess the opponent's setup, and Taunt to trigger Hazelnut Ball.

The final round eye is a deliberate way to reduce its attack power, so that the opponent cannot kill your Pokémon instantly.

It can also deliberately induce the opponent to use skills that enhance attack power. Since Azure Flame Blade Demon uses a sword, it makes sense that it can perform sword dance.

—Just like how most dragon-type Pokémon can use Dragon Dance.

Swords Dance can boost attack by two stages, enough for Eevee to use Leap to finish off the opponent after they use Swords Dance...

However, he didn't expect that the Azure Blade Demon had the Shatter Armor trait. In that case, he should have used Nidoking first!

Nidoking uses a Modest Life Orb special attack configuration, so its attacks won't trigger Shatter Armor.

Moreover, its speed surpasses that of its opponent, making it faster than the Azure Flame Blade Demon and eliminating the final hazelnut ball as no threat.

"If that's the case, you might be able to fight me to a draw."

Yang Xiying accepted the pocket money handed to her by the other party, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. The other party was clearly indicating that he had Nidoking equipment.

"A tie?" This surprised Qinglu, who then suddenly asked, "What configuration did you use for Hazelnut Ball this time?"

Since the opposing Azure Flame Blade Demon is equipped with the Aura Sash, it will take Nidoking at least two moves to defeat it.

During this time, Azure Blade Ghost can also damage Nidoking. If the opponent suddenly switches to a Hazelnut with the Sturdy ability after dealing damage, it will be difficult to deal damage.

Wouldn't that give it another chance to attack? But the hazelnut ball is slow, unless it has some kind of item that allows it to attack first...

“Shakyamuni fruit self-destruct,” Yang Xiying responded cheerfully to his opponent, this time his Hazelnut Ball move was very ordinary.

Therefore, by equipping the trial version of the Shakya Fruit that the system had previously provided, Pokémon can attack before their opponent when their HP is below 1/4.

—Only applicable to moves of the same priority.

"..." Qinglu remained silent. In that case, it was indeed very likely to be a draw. The self-destruction of the hazelnut ball still had some deterrent effect.

“So if you bring poison or a surprise attack technique, you might be able to win,” Yang Xiying said at this moment.

His tactics are still quite easy to crack.

"Sudden Attack is an inherited move, and my Nidoking didn't inherit it. As for Toxic... my Nidoking evolved earlier."

Qinglv responded directly, which surprised Yang Xiying. Nidoking could learn Poison in its Nidorino form before evolution.

That requires reaching level 50, but Nidoking knows Earth Power, a move that Nidoran doesn't learn until level 70 or higher...

Wait a minute, could it be that the Nidoking on the other side has skills based on the Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon version? In that version, Nidoking could master the power of the earth at level 43.

"Furthermore, Nidoking has a forced ability, so I prioritize learning Earth Power, Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, and Ice Beam over Toxic."

“But Umbreon can also learn Toxic,” Yang Xiying was still puzzled. “This Pokémon shouldn’t need too many offensive moves, right?”

"I always feel like Yang Xiying, your assessment of Pokémon battle power is based on the upper limit. Don't you consider the difficulty of learning various skills?"

Yang Xiying remained silent, because all he had to do to teach a Pokémon a move was place a disc on the other person's head...

So it turns out there's a learning curve for Pokémon to learn new skills.

P.S.: Since Viviana isn't a limited-time character, I guess I'll just have to wait for her to appear in the permanent version and prepare for the New Year's limited-time event in advance...

P.S.: I ate a little bit of the book... This is a new book from a newbie, please add it to your favorites and give it a recommendation vote, thank you everyone!

"But I remember that Nidoking's horn is poisonous in the Pokédex, and it is also a poison type. Umbreon also secretes venom when it is excited."

Of course, Yang Xiying couldn't openly say that learning skills was very simple for her; she could only respond indirectly to the other party.

This Pokémon world is already a reality, so learning Pokémon moves shouldn't be limited to leveling up or using TMs.

Of course, you can learn the moves yourself and practice them yourself, just like Iron Tail in the Pokémon anime, using Spin Attack...

"—Learning a technique like poison should be quite simple, right?"

"It seems you really only know a lot of theoretical knowledge," Qinglu said with a hint of helplessness. "Do you believe that the surface of a lava worm can reach 10000 degrees Celsius?"

"So the description in the bestiary is fake?" Yang Xiying's expression was subtle; he did know about the lava worm.

A soft-bodied Pokémon made of lava, living near volcanoes, with a body surface temperature of 10,000 degrees Celsius according to previous game settings.

That's higher than lava, which is a bit outrageous, so the Pokémon game settings are just a reference for him.

"No, it's mostly true, but there were mistakes due to incomplete early investigations and carelessness on the part of the researchers."

"Nidoking and Umbreon do indeed have toxins in their bodies, but they are unlikely to poison ordinary humans or Pokémon."

"Huh?" Yang Xiying suddenly realized that she had heard something rather outrageous, and then Qinglu continued to speak.

"Because Nidoking relies more on his proud power in battle at this stage, poison has become something dispensable."

"After all, it has an additional Earth attribute, and what I'm aiming for when training Nidoking is this and its wide range of Special Attack moves, so I haven't paid much attention to its toxicity."

"To poison a person or Pokémon, its horn must be embedded in vital areas such as the neck, internal organs, chest, or eyes."

No, no, no, a fatal stab to a vital spot is enough to kill... So that's why the Poison Sting only has a 30% chance of poisoning someone?!

"And Umbreon... it would be too pitiful to isolate it just because it secretes a toxin that even humans can cure."

"Finally, Umbreon is a Dark-type Pokémon, so it's understandable that it's difficult for it to learn Poison-type moves."

"..." Umbreon can only learn the Toxic type, "Is Toxic difficult to learn?"

“Of course,” Blue Green answered matter-of-factly, “this is a move that only trainers who are proficient in Poison-type Pokémon can master.”

"The rest are easily resisted by humans or Pokémon. If you want to learn the true Poison type, you have to find a Poison type expert."

"I trained Nidoking primarily for its inherent power, but having met you today, I should indeed try to master its deadly poison."

—If it were highly poisonous, he might actually win the match.

"But it still feels very difficult. Yang Xiying, you just achieved complete synchronization with the Azure Flame Blade Demon, right?"

“Yes,” Yang Xiying thought for a moment and nodded in response. The Cricket God had said before that perfect synchronization existed in this world.

I also synchronized my previous battles completely, only in this way can I better convey my thoughts to the Pokémon.

“…In that case, even if I bring a deadly poison, it will be difficult to beat you,” Qinglu suddenly fell into a state of deep thought.

"Humans and Pokémon have a high resistance to status ailments when they are in perfect synchronization. Since you can achieve perfect synchronization, you should understand that."

"I guess so," Yang Xiying could only nod in response. After experiencing complete synchronization a few times, he felt he could practice more.

This might grant immunity to various abnormal states, or at least paralysis and confusion so it won't attack itself...

"By the way, can you also achieve complete synchronization with Pokémon?" Yang Xiying asked, as if something had occurred to her.

“Of course, perfect synchronization is a skill that trainers can master once they have become close to their Pokémon to a certain extent,” Green said with a slight smile.

“Nidoking has been my comrade-in-arms for several years, and Umbreon is my starter Pokémon, so our relationship can’t be that bad.”

"—So you'd better be careful if you try to cast abnormal statuses on us."

“So—” Yang Xiying blurted out subconsciously, “that Pokémon’s status condition can be lifted if the friendship level between the Pokémon and its trainer is high enough, right?”

To keep you from worrying, the velvet mushroom cured its own poison...

"Yes, that's why many people tend to exchange attack moves in battle, unless both trainers and Pokémon can be in perfect synchronization."

"In short, I have lost to you and Azure Flame Blade Demon this time, but it won't be so easy for you to beat me next time."

Finally, Qinglv also issued a challenge to Yang Xiying, stating that he would capture more Pokémon to strengthen himself.

“That’s right,” came another voice from the side, “I will definitely win against Mr. Yang next time.”

And this was Crimson, along with Professor Oak, Nanami Yoko, and several researchers, who had all gathered around.

"Looks like you've got your hands on me," Yang Xiying said, raising an eyebrow at the two men's provocative words.

"So, Yang Xiying, you want to avoid fighting now that you've won once?" Qinglu's tone was very sarcastic. "Then I will laugh at you mercilessly."

“It would be too indecisive to be a sore loser. Mr. Yang, you shouldn’t be satisfied with just this one match with us, right?” Crimson followed closely behind.

"It's not bad to earn some pocket money from you guys."

Yang Xiying grinned. He wasn't going to cower in the face of the kids' provocations, especially since they were even paying him.

"—It's not that I can't accept defeat, but you have to be able to make me lose first."

“Alright, let’s play another round after the Pokémon recovers,” Qinglv said with a smirk, while Yang Xiying signaled the other side to pause.

"...Let's wait until I catch a new Pokémon before we fight again." He had only narrowly won before, so it was uncertain who would win next time.

"So you're still a sore loser, aren't you?" Qinglu said sarcastically, while Yang Xiying just snorted, "I call it not fighting a battle I'm not sure I can win."

"Then I'll take it that way."

Qinglu smiled. He wasn't going to continue playing against Yang Xiying because the hazelnut ball on the other side hadn't grown up yet and hadn't developed properly.

Even if I win, it won't be meaningful.

"So, are you going to leave your defeated Pokémon to me? They need to rest now."

At this moment, Nanami stepped forward, looked at Qinglv and Yang Xiying, and the former handed her the Poké Ball directly.

"Okay, I'll leave Nidoking and Umbreon to you, sister."

At home, my older sister always takes care of my injured Pokémon so they can recover, and this time was no exception.

“Yang Xiying, you don’t need to be polite with my sister now. She’ll be fine taking care of the injured Pokémon.”

At this moment, Qinglu also turned her gaze to Yang Xiying, who was still standing still, while Yang Xiying also noticed the smiling Nanami.

"...I'll leave the Azure Flame Blade Demon in your care, Miss Ōki."

Previously, this girl had prepared all the dinners that Yang Xiying had with her Pokémon, which gave her a basic level of trust in her.

Moreover, he can still contact Azure Flame Blade Ghost, so he can make decisions immediately in case of any situation.

"Don't be so formal, just call me Nanami or Miss Nanami. I'll need your help with Blue in the future regarding Pokémon matters."

"After all, you beat him very well just now."

Nanami Oki responded with a smile, saying that this was the first time she had ever seen someone other than Crimson who could beat Azure; Azure's interpersonal relationships were truly remarkable...

"Hey, sister, that guy only beat me once, it's not like he has to teach me," Qinglu immediately showed a dissatisfied expression.

“Actually, I don’t mind giving Qinglu some advice,” Yang Xiying said casually, still wanting to give his older sister face.

"Don't push your luck. Who knows if your advice is reliable or not?" The greenish expression on the other end of the line made me feel something was wrong.

"In that case, Mr. Yang, could you give me some advice?" At this moment, Leaf, who was holding Bulbasaur, spoke up.
