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

—The fourth Pokémon on the other side has finally been confirmed.

PS: First update, two more chapters to come!

NO.56+57 The opposing team's lineup is a bit too aggressive...

This lineup is very aggressive...

After the Pokémon that had logged into the Master Duel Device on the other side were revealed, Yang Xiying seemed to be deep in thought. He recognized all the Pokémon on the other side.

Talonflame needs no introduction, and its mount, Goat, is a Grass-type Pokémon with decent HP and Attack stats.

This creature is also one of the few Pokémon that can counter its own type weakness, because it can learn Rock and Ground-type moves.

These all counteract the weaknesses of grass: fire insects, poison, ice, and flight. Therefore, even the Azure Flame Blade Demon has to be careful when facing it.

Megalodon is even more dangerous, being a Water/Dark type, and all the moves it can learn are effective against Azure Blade Demon.

Its attack power is no less than that of the Fire Swordswoman, and it is also very fast. If its ability is Speed ​​Boost, its intimidation power will be at its maximum!

Besides that, this thing can also Mega Evolve, but judging from the fact that the opponent wasn't wearing any strange bracelets, they probably wouldn't go that far...

But this lineup still looks like a highly aggressive type, and it feels like it's specifically designed to target him, Azure Flame Blade Demon.

But with her Slowbro on the left and Tangoose on the right, she was still able to hold her own against the opponent for a few rounds. That's right, these were the three Pokémon that Yang Xiying chose to field!

This time he didn't let Hazelnut Ball, or rather, Forgetos, play. After all, in a three-on-three situation, it's easier for the three of them to form a defensive zone.

—And you should also let the new teammate show some promise.

Slowpoke, Giant Vine, and Azure Blade Demon...

Looking at the opposing team's lineup, Rita seemed thoughtful, but she didn't hesitate for long. The moment she logged into Pokémon, it meant the battle had already begun.

Unless you concede defeat, you are not allowed to change your Pokémon or change your moves or items during this period. Since the opponent has these three, then...

"Go! Megalodon—!"

"You go first, Slowpoke—!"

Because of the rules, both sides must release their Pokémon at the same time, so Yang Xiying followed suit.

Slowbro takes the stage, its blank expression conveying its command, while facing off against a rather ferocious Pokémon!

It was a deep blue shark floating in mid-air, but it only had a head and no lower body.

Its design resembles an airplane, but the cross mark on its face makes it easy to associate with a certain B-series robot.

"Oh, oh, oh, another Pokémon that hasn't appeared in the Kanto region!"

"But I recognize this one because it appeared in the Hoenn region, which isn't far from the gates. It's Sharpedo, a Pokémon similar to Gyarados!"

"Similar to Gyarados... This guy does look very aggressive. It's really impressive that a newbie can command it!"

"I wonder how Yang Xiying will deal with this. He sent out Slowpoke. I thought he would send Foretus this time."

"Hey, you don't understand. The Azure Flame Blade Demon, Giant Vine, and Slowpoke are three different types of creatures that make it easier to form a defensive synergy."

"Tch, I'm just speculating based on Yang Xiying's habits. Doesn't that guy usually break through the wall and scatter spikes when he fights us?"

The match between Yang Xiying and Rita naturally attracted a lot of attention, and they were all curious about Rita's Pokémon.

At the same time, we are looking forward to their performance, because Yang Xiying is capable of defeating several of the patrolmen in a master duel!

—When two powerful individuals clash, even death would be worth the price of admission!

Megalodon, are you planning a strong attack right from the start...?

While the others were making a fuss, Yang Xiying also started a mental storm, thinking that Megalodon was a pure damage dealer.

If we let him use it, we'll first prepare a suitable area for it to perform, making the battle more secure.

However, the opponent has an advantage in going first with Sharpedo, since both my Azure Blade Demon and Slowbro are weak to Sharpedo's Dark-type moves.

Slowpoke...

Rita on the other side was also reflecting on her decision. She realized that sending out Megalodon first was the right thing to do, since Megalodon could counter the two sharks the opponent had sent out.

She had also gathered information about this new member of the Pallet Town Rangers, and naturally knew a bit about Pokémon configurations.

—Especially that swordsman Pokémon burning with azure flames.

"Megatooth Shark, bite down—!!!"

Upon seeing the Slowpoke, Rita immediately pointed to the opposite side, while Megalodon roared and its cross-section erupted with jets of steam!

So much so that it charged toward the hippo like a fighter jet, appearing in front of it in the blink of an eye, and opened its blood-red maw to bite down!

Slowpoke's head was swallowed whole, and purple energy burst from its mouth. This move was extremely effective against Slowpoke, which has a Psychic attribute!

—Because Crunch is a Dark attribute move!

In everyone's eyes, Slowpoke's health bar had dropped to less than 30%, which showed how terrifying the power of this move was!

"Oh? A Sharpedo equipped with the Life Orb?" Yang Xiying spoke up, but instead of giving commands to the Pokémon, she exclaimed in admiration.

"...!"

Rita was a little stunned. Judging from the fact that her Megalodon's health bar had dropped by one segment, she could indeed guess the configuration of her Megalodon.

The Life Orb increases the power of Pokémon moves by 30%, but reduces the user's HP by 10% when it hits an enemy...

It's commendable that the other side noticed this, but aren't you being a bit too relaxed? Shouldn't you be giving commands to your Pokémon at a time like this?

"Heh-"

But then, a loud yawn was heard, which immediately drew everyone's attention. The Megalodon opened its huge mouth.

He kept yawning, his body retreating to keep the distance between himself and the dazed man whose head and neck were covered in deep teeth marks.

Slowpoke's health bar recovered somewhat at this moment, but Rita didn't pay much attention because she was more concerned about her Megalodon!

The Megalodon is already showing signs of sleepiness; it's dozing off! Soon it will fall into a deep slumber!

"Megatus Shark, switch hands! You ride the goat!" Rita made a quick decision; at a time like this, Megatus Shark absolutely could not be allowed to fall asleep!

—The drowsy state can be automatically removed when a Pokémon returns to the party!

"Slowpoke, switch hands! Azure Flame Blade Demon, you go!" Yang Xiying's command followed immediately.

New Pokémon for both sides have now appeared: the familiar Fire Swordswoman and a goat with brown fur but green leaves growing on its body!

“…!” Seeing this scene, Rita couldn’t help but show a surprised expression, and she subconsciously spoke.

"Mr. Yang is really amazing to be able to get Pokémon to use their moves without giving them verbal commands."

She understood why the Megalodon fell asleep; it was because of Slowpoke's skill called Yawn, which had an absolute hit rate.

After being hit, the Pokémon would fall into a drowsy state, about to drift off to sleep! But Yang Xiying didn't give such an order...

"...But Miss Rita, you realized it in time, didn't you?"

Yang Xiying's lips curled up slightly. Now he could make Pokémon release skills on their own without having to give verbal commands.

Just do it according to the situation. Like Slowpoke, he has almost made it a habit to use skills that make people fall asleep.

Therefore, no instructions are needed, which can catch the opponent off guard and cause them to make mistakes in their judgment, so that one can act more effectively.

So far, he has already used this method to scam many people, and there are very few who have been able to react quickly.

The onlookers were all surprised by this.

“I did realize that…” Rita replied, but at the same time she switched Pokémon, the other side also switched to a new Pokémon.

Moreover, it's an extremely advantageous matchup. Yes, the opponent has the advantage. Azure Flame Blade Demon is a fire and ghost attribute!

It's as if the other side anticipated what I was going to do, or perhaps they didn't want Slowpoke to be eliminated so early...

If you don't mind the Megalodon continuing to attack while asleep, you can basically get rid of Slowpoke.

But that would cause the Megalodon to fall asleep, and sleeping during a battle is a very dangerous thing.

—And she also needs Megalodon to deal damage!

"That's normal, isn't it?" Yang Xiying said casually. "After all, my Slowpoke can't withstand the next attack from Megalodon."

"But switching to Azure Flame Blade Demon is still quite daring."

Rita couldn't help but speak up, saying that if they were to change Pokémon, they should at least choose one that could withstand Sharpedo's attacks.

—Take the vine monster, for example.

"...But you should know the reason, shouldn't you?" Yang Xiying revealed a playful smile, even though he had two choices: Azure Flame Blade and Ghost Giant Vine.

If you put the Giant Vine on the board, you might face a Goat and a Talonflame – Yawning has a high probability of forcing the opponent to switch Pokémon to battle.

These two are not good targets for Giant Vine, as the latter's fire and flying attributes are clearly a disadvantage.

The former are all Grass-type, and the Goat even has the Herbivore ability, making Grass-type moves ineffective against it! They even increase its attack power...

Therefore, the only option is to use Azure Flame Blade Ghost, and the opponent is very likely to choose the Goat mount, as it also counters the Slowpoke.

Choosing Talonflame is essentially gambling on whether Yang Xiying will switch Pokémon.

"..."

Having heard reports that the Azure Flame Blade Demon would accelerate after being attacked, she could guess that the opponent possessed the characteristic of Shattered Armor...

With this increased speed, she can outrun the Megalodon, and because of the yawning, the Megalodon will fall asleep regardless of its opponent's speed...

In that case, the opponent will have plenty of opportunities to deal with her Pokémon, even if it's a Blaze Pokémon, which might even know Fighting-type moves...

"Blue Flame Blade Ghost! Get fit!"

"Mounted Goat! Rockfall!"

Both sides gave orders again, and at this moment, Azure Flame Blade Demon withdrew his twin swords, grew out his palms, and then stretched out his hands, parallel to each other!

At that moment, the goat raised its two front legs and then pushed off the ground with a thud! Then it flipped its legs forward!

A large amount of rubble rushed towards the Azure Flame Blade Demon!

"Dragon Ranger! Heavenly Fire Star! Light!"

Meanwhile, Azure Flame Blade Demon assumed a very classic Dragon Fist starting stance, and Yang Xiying followed along, chanting the name of the move!

After completing this set of movements, Azure Flame Blade Demon felt his combat power had increased significantly, which was the effect of bodybuilding moves!

Bodybuilding! It involves using all your strength to tense your muscles and enhance your attack and defense capabilities; simply put, it's about leveling up your offense and defense!

The value is directly multiplied by 1.5!

Boom——!

Because of his physique, the rubble that hit the Azure Flame Blade Demon didn't cause much damage, and his health bar only dropped by 25%!

—Even though this move is extremely effective against the Fire-type Azure Blade Demon as a Rock-type move!

boom--! ! !

However, Azure Flame Blade Demon's armor shattered at this moment, and the azure flames became even more intense. Although her defense was reduced, her speed was increasing rapidly!

"Looks like I have a pretty good advantage against Miss Rita," Rock Slide is a physical attack! So much so that Yang Xiying can use it to feign injury!

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

"It seems so..."

Hearing Yang Xiying say that, Rita also took a deep breath. From the moment her opponent started using the bodybuilding move, she felt that she was going to lose.

Moreover, Goat's Rock Slide move dealt her a fatal blow! The opponent's speed was already far ahead of her Pokémon!

"But I'm not going to give up yet, Mount Goat! Keep rockfalling!" Rita continued to give commands.

Because of the Azure Flame Blade Demon's enhancement, she dares not switch characters casually now, since both the Megalodon and the Arrowhawk have very weak defenses.

—And the Arrowhawk is most effective when it's at full health...
