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

"The Sword of Regret!"

Yang Xiying followed closely behind, and the Azure Flame Blade Demon, which was already faster than the mountain goat, now surpassed its opponent!

The mountain goat mount was instantly severed, its health bar emptied in an instant, while the Azure Flame Blade Demon's health bar was instantly restored to full!

The defeated goat turned into a stream of light and returned to the Poké Ball on Rita's waist.

"I'm counting on you for the next one! Megalodon!" Rita then dispatched Megalodon, who had appeared earlier.

"Megatus! Water Jet!"

She immediately gave the order to attack, and Megalodon roared, its body emitting a mist of water before being enveloped in a stream of water!

And it shot towards the Azure Flame Blade Demon like a missile! Yang Xiying's voice followed closely behind!

"Azure Flame Blade Demon, switch hands! Giant Vine, you go!" Azure Flame Blade Demon disappeared from the field, replaced by another blue creature!

Giant Vine is the product of the Vine Monster's evolution after learning the Primal Force, and it possesses even greater power!

Therefore, blocking the great white shark's attack was effortless, and it could even knock the opponent away, to the point that the opponent's health loss due to the Life Orb felt like a counter-damage.

—The giant vine's health bar only dropped by 10%.

"That was a decisive substitution..."

Rita's expression turned somewhat troubled upon seeing this. She had assumed that Azure Flame Blade Demon wouldn't be replaced after its abilities had been enhanced several times.

“After all, I also need to guard against some preemptive attacks,” Yang Xiying raised an eyebrow, even though the Azure Flame Blade Demon’s speed had increased.

However, it still can't stop certain preemptive attacks, especially moves that can counter it, such as Megalodon's water jet...

"If we get hit by the water jet, that would be bad," the Life Orb Megalodon's water jet can take away 70% of the health of a Azure Flame Blade Demon of the same level.

And it's very difficult to recover from this damage, because Sharpedo is a combination of Water and Dark types, and Yang Xiying must defeat it in one move!

This means that close combat is the only option, so Azure Flame Blade Demon's health bar will be in a very dangerous state when facing the Fierce Arrow Eagle.

It can easily be taken down by Talonflame's priority Flying-type moves, at which point the situation will be completely reversed.

Because the Arrowhawk has decent speed and damage output, it's likely that Giant Vine and a low-health Slowpoke are no match for it.

But Yang Xiying will not let that happen!

P.S.: Four thousand words, roughly two chapters...

NO.58 The traditional skills of the Carlos people...!

"..."

Looking at the situation on the field, Rita couldn't help but feel nervous, her brows furrowed and large beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.

The boosts from Pokémon will disappear when they return to the team. It would be such a shame if their stats just vanished after they've leveled up a few times.

So Rita started betting that the opponent wouldn't switch Pokémon because of the power boost, so that she could have her Megalodon use Water Jet to launch a surprise attack!

Water Jet is a preemptive move, so no matter how fast the opponent is, they can't outrun your Megalodon!

—This is a move that Rita specifically uses to counter Azure Blade Demon!

After all, she knew that the Azure Blade Demon's ability was Shatter Armor, and her own Pokémon were mostly physical attackers.

It's easy to help the opponent boost their speed to lure them in, but the opponent doesn't fall for this tactic and directly replaces Azure Flame Blade Ghost with Giant Vine.

Now it's another advantageous matchup! Yes, the opponent has the advantage, so she'll face a new choice!

Should we switch to Arrowhawk to create a superior matchup...?

Rita hesitated because of the rules of Pokémon battles, if her own Pokémon was not yet unable to battle.

When switching Pokémon, the opponent can still act. Now, if you bring Talonflame into the field, it will be easily attacked by Vine.

Although even Rock-type attacks would have a hard time hitting Talonflame with Grass-type Vine, the opponent is Grass-type!

Although Grass-type Pokémon are generally seen as sunny, healing, and gentle, their attack moves are resistant to most types.

Its strength is only apparent because it counters water and ground attributes, but for Rita, it is the most despicable and vile attribute.

Because it can use all sorts of disgusting moves, and as for why it knows... because it can also use such grass-type moves.

But if I don't switch, can my Water-type Sharpedo withstand the opponent's Grass-type special move...?

"Megatus! Protect!" Let's try to find out what moves the opponent will use first, no matter what!

"Giant vines! Parasitic seeds!"

Yang Xiying followed closely behind, and her arm, made of giant vine whips, swung forward, throwing several seeds at the Megalodon opposite her!

Snapped--! ! !

The seeds split open in an instant, and a large number of green vines with leaves stretched out from them, like venomous snakes attacking their prey!

But all of these were blocked and deflected by the green energy barrier released by the Megalodon, and Rita's expression turned serious.

Leech Seed! Throwing a tree seed inflicts the Leech Seed status on a Pokémon, causing it to lose 1/8 of its maximum HP every so often!

At the same time, the user of this state recovers an equal amount of health, which is one of the despicable moves of Grass-type Pokémon!

"It's easy to fail if you keep using it, Giant Vine, continue!" Yang Xiying's command rang out again!

Rita was worried about this: Parasite Seed wouldn't fail repeatedly like Guardian Seed!

"Megatus Shark! Come back! Talonflame, it's your turn now!" At this rate, it's definitely better to deal with the giant vines on the other side first!

Rita swapped Pokémon; the deep blue shark vanished in a streak of light, replaced by a fiery red bird!

At this moment, it was also entangled by the vines that stretched out from the seeds flung out by the giant vine, which restricted its movement to some extent!

Suddenly, thorns sprouted from the entwined vines and pierced directly into the body of the Arrow Eagle, instantly reducing its health bar by 1/8!

"Ah! It's starting again, that guy Yang is at it again..." The onlookers couldn't help but show a sad expression as they watched this scene.

Yes, it's Rita. Although this newcomer is indeed very skilled in Pokémon battles, she is still weaker than Yang Xiying.

But they are also really looking forward to the newcomer being able to suppress Yang Xiying in Pokémon battles! Because he has never lost a battle against their team!

That bastard always manages to win with unexpected tactics, and these tactics are generally... despicable and dirty!

He's the kind of guy you'd never want to fight again after just one match, which is why he often complains that he can't find a suitable opponent.

Before you start complaining, can't you at least take a moment to reflect on yourself?!

"Arrowhawk! Return the pain you suffered tenfold!" Rita commanded after releasing the Arrowhawk!

"Brave Bird Attack—!!!" With the power of the Talonflame, the Flying-type Brave Bird Attack could easily lift the giant vine away!

Furthermore, Giant Vine is not fast, so Talonflame, with its high speed stat, doesn't need to rely on Gale Wings, which requires full HP to activate!

"Giant Vine, come back! Slowpoke, it's your turn!" However, Yang Xiying wasn't about to play along. As soon as the Arrowhawk appeared, she switched pets!

Therefore, the Arrowhawk, enveloped in azure flames, slammed into Slowbro! Slowbro's health bar instantly dropped to 40%!

"A Slowpoke with regenerative abilities?!"

Rita looked on with surprise and uncertainty as she watched this scene. Her health bar was very low because she had been bitten by the Megalodon.

It was only about 30%, but when the opponent reappeared, it was still nearly 70%, so much so that even the Fierce Arrow Eagle couldn't reduce the opponent's health bar to the bottom!

The answer is obvious: Slowpoke's ability is Regenerator. When it returns to the party, its HP will recover to one-third of its maximum HP!

"Hey, that's not all—"

Yang Xiying smiled slightly. Although a small mistake had caused his Slowpoke to lose its hidden ability of regeneration.

But he changed it back in the end, all thanks to his hard work this month! He completed many system tasks and achievements!

"I also brought it leftovers."

As he spoke, a phantom image of an apple with only its core appeared above Slowpoke's head, and Slowpoke's HP recovered a little.

Leftovers, when given to a Pokémon in battle, will restore 1/16 of its HP every so often, although that seems a bit small.

But it's quite good for tanky characters, like the Slowpoke, which is a pure defensive build!

"..." Rita's expression became uncertain; this match was starting to make her blood pressure rise...

Because of the Brave Bird's fierce attack, the Arrowhawk's health was also reduced, and with the parasitic seed on its body, its health bar was only 60%.

Slowpoke can also recover HP from Leech Seed, and the opponent's HP will still be 60%! But this 60% is not the same as your own 60%!

"Slowpoke! Hot water!"

At this moment, Yang Xiying gave the order to attack, while Rita chose to switch! Facing Slowpoke, her Arrowhawk had no advantage whatsoever!

So we need to bring in Megalodon. Even a Slowpoke with 70% health restored can't withstand a single bite from Megalodon!

Although this might result in the opponent yawning again, even if Megalodon is in a sleepy state, it will still bite the opponent to death!

The fiery red falcon was instantly transformed into a ferocious shark, and then it was sprayed in the face with a stream of hot air released from the mouth of the silly hippo!

Hot water of the water element doesn't do much damage to Megalodon; even if Megalodon is only at level 40, it can only take away 30% of its health!

Megalodon's health bar is down to 50%, but there's nothing to worry about. She has the advantage against Slowbro!

"...Gu!"

However, the Megalodon began to emit heat all over its body, and its body turned fiery red like the Talonflame, causing its health bar to drop even further!

"...May I surrender?"

Upon seeing this, Rita's eyes suddenly lost their sparkle, because the additional effect of the hot water had taken effect...

PS: The battle ends here. There will be another chapter later. If I want to update more, I will have to do it tonight, since I have to work the night shift (sad).

Recently, an idiot boss came to check up on me, and I wanted to get some extra pay, but my salary hasn't been paid yet...

NO.59 and the Defeated One's Solitude...

Hot Water! This attack uses boiling water to create a streamlined pattern and has a 30% chance of inflicting a status ailment called Burn on a Pokémon.

Pokémon in this state take half damage from non-fixed damage physical moves and lose 1/16 of their maximum HP every so often.

Compared to non-fixed damage physical attacks where damage is halved, losing HP every now and then is not a big deal.

Rita's Megalodon is a physical attack build, which requires physical moves to deal high damage, but now that it's been halved, it's basically useless.

At this point, what can she possibly fight? Her own Arrowhawk can't break through the opponent's Slowpoke.

Rita chose to surrender, and the stick figure in the suit who had been acting as the referee announced the result of the match!

"—Rita has forfeited, this match is now over! Winner! Yang Xiying!"

……

"Hey sis! We've caught Yang Xiying, so you can give him a few punches and kicks now without any problem!"

"Hey……"

After the duel ended, the group returned to the real world, and Yang Xiying was instantly covered in sweat, as these guys had grabbed her!

They held him down on all fours, so he couldn't move an inch unless he put some effort into it...

"What do you mean 'hey'? Can't you tone down your Pokémon battle style?! Who's going to want to play with you if you keep going like this?!"

"Exactly! It's not like it's a life-or-death battle. Wouldn't it be better to play some Pokémon battles that bring a smile to your face?!"

"If you want the Arrowhawk so badly, why are you in such a hurry? Anyway, she'll be working here in the future, so there will be plenty of opportunities (whispering)."

"Yeah, and besides, you two are the same age, so you definitely have more to talk about than we do. There's plenty of time in the future (whispering)."

Seeing Rita standing motionless, her expression shifting as if she were deep in thought, the patrolmen immediately panicked.

They are quite willing to have new people join their team, since the more people there are, the easier the job becomes and the easier it is to take time off.
