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

"With so many people supporting me, I feel like I might lose the game," Yang Xiying said with a smile as she looked at Kanako standing in front of her.

I've completely become the villain, but why does this feeling inexplicably feel so good?

"But Yang, you still seem quite confident. In any case, please allow me to learn some knowledge from you now!"

Kanako responded, then revealed her Pokémon Trainer Card, and then threw it out together with Yang Xiying.

The Master Duel Arena was rebuilt, and then a bunch of people rushed into the space created by the collision of Trainer cards.

The other-dimensional space was instantly packed with people, because this was the highly anticipated battle to defeat the Great Demon King!

Then a group of people saw both sides start logging in their Pokémon. This match was a 3v3 battle between level 30 Pokémon.

"Alright! Pokémon battle! Ready Go—!!!" The black stick figure, acting as the referee, raised his hands high, announcing the start of the match!

"Slowpoke! Go!"

"Queen Nido! You lead the charge!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, both sides sent out their Pokémon. Yang Xiying sent out his good friend Slowpoke!

Kanako sent out a bipedal creature that was entirely blue with milky-white markings on its abdomen and chest.

Its appearance is somewhat similar to Nidoking, except that its horns and ears are not as angular as Nidoking's.

Nidoking is the same species as Nidoking, but it is tankier in terms of base stats.

"It wasn't Foretus...?"

When Yang Xiying sent out her first Pokémon, the onlookers all looked confused.

—Wasn't this guy always going to start with Forgetus?

“Hey, I can’t just stick to one style of Pokémon battles,” Yang Xiying said with a smirk.

Because I often send Forrettos out first, the opposing team has started sending out Fire-type Pokémon first.

In the last game, my opponent brought a Duckbill Fire Beast, whose moves like Flame Jet and Heat Wave could reduce Foretus's health to almost nothing.

Then, in order to prevent himself from switching Pokémon to form a defensive synergy, he even brought Thunder Punch, because the only Pokémon that can form a defensive synergy with Forretress are Water Pokémon.

—Although it's useless.

Anyway, it's getting a bit tiresome to always have Forretos leading the charge, so this time he chose Slowpoke.

It might be able to create an advantageous matchup against the opponent's first Pokémon, and it seems that's indeed the case now.

After the opposing team sent out Nidoran, it became a Pokémon that could learn both Fire and Electric-type moves, just like Nidoking.

It also follows the "Life Orb" strategy to force an emergency, which poses a significant threat to a team with weak special defense.

In addition, this Pokémon also has moves that can make Forretress give up easily...

"Nido Queen, provocation!"

"Slow Hippo, hot water!"

At this moment, Kanako and Yang Xiying issued another command, and Nidoqueen directly showed a mocking expression and beckoned to Slowpoke.

The pink hippopotamus, whose eyes were usually full of wisdom, also showed a rare expression of anger, and spat out a mouthful of phlegm... ugh, hot water gushed out!

boom--! ! !

The water jet transformed into a thick column that struck Nido directly, instantly halving its health bar, which surprised Kanako.

"Is this because you're surprised I didn't use the yawning move?" Looking at the expression on the other side, Yang Xiying could eat several bowls of rice!

"You... know that Nido will use provocative moves?" Kanako asked subconsciously, while Yang Xiying revealed a playful expression.

"I am very clear about the weaknesses of my team."

P.S.: I'm dizzy from writing this. I was rushing from 3 pm to 9 pm yesterday, and only finished typing it now after taking a nap...

NO.84+85 She was ruined by him...

As a Pokémon trainer, you can't just consider their strengths; you also need to pay attention to their weaknesses.

If Yang Xiying doesn't bring Azure Blade, then the only Pokémon she can currently use are Forretress, Slowbro, and Tentacruel.

Both Diglett and Drapion are still leveling up using Exp. Share, and their strength is not yet fully developed, which makes their weaknesses very obvious.

Forgetus's Giant Vine is weak to both fire and, along with Slowbro, is slow, making it easy for opponents to taunt it when using Leech Seed or Yawn.

—For this reason, he also brought all sorts of precautions…

"..."

Yang Xiying's words caused Kanako to fall silent. Having watched Yang Xiying's battles several times before, she had found some ways to counter her.

After all, the opponent's setup is too familiar. We should use our high defense and high survivability to wear down the opponent's patience and gain the opportunity to win.

Isn't this the same approach shared by the famous online guru, Teacher Pigeon?! I have a very deep impression of his explanation of Scorpio King in that episode.

Just hearing the content is disgusting, but the opposing team also mentioned one point to note about this tactic in the video.

That is the "Beware of Provocation" move, which, once activated, restricts the opponent to using only damaging moves for a period of time.

I made a point of not being able to use disruptive moves like Light Screen, Reflect, and Leech Seed, because I sometimes encounter opponents like that.

Although it's rare, it's still worth it, especially since my own cat happens to know this trick, and I can also teach it to my other Pokémon.

Nidoqueen is the fastest learner, and it's perfect for dealing with Foretrus; even though Nidoqueen is slow, it can still outrun Foretrus.

Furthermore, it possesses fire and electric attribute moves, making it easy to severely damage Foretora and even defend against the opponent's possible pounce attack.

Pouncing is a Fighting-type move, which is not very effective against Poison-type Pokémon, making it more suitable for this battle than the normal-type Persian!

However, she encountered an unexpected situation: the opponent started with Slowbro. Nevertheless, she still planned to use Taunt.

After all, Yang Xiying's three Pokémon all have annoying moves, and Nidoqueen can carry items to remove those status effects.

But that would be a waste of Nidoqueen's Forced ability. That's right, her Nidoqueen is Forced Life Orb Nidoqueen!

But the Slowpoke on the other side unexpectedly used an attack move... no, I was just taking it too seriously.

How could the opponent, who knows so much, not know how to provoke? Besides, Nidoqueen has the Ground type, so it's normal for Slowbro to be super effective against it.

"Nidoran, switch hands!" With only 50% health left, if it gets hit by another hot water attack... it can't stay here!

"Slowpoke, hot water!" Yang Xiying pressed her advantage at this moment! At this time, Kanako also successfully traded Pokémon.

The blue monster instantly transformed into a Pokémon with a brown body and a large amount of white fur on its upper body!

It directly withstood the high-temperature water jet erupted by the Slowpoke, and its health bar only decreased by less than 30%!

Because it's a Grass-type Pokémon, you can tell from the fan-shaped leaf in its hand.

—Its appearance is also very similar to the tengu, a creature from Japanese folklore.

“Cunning Stranglethorn, it’s really good for Nidoqueen’s defensive setup,” Yang Xiying instantly recognized what kind of Pokémon it was.

It is said to be a mysterious Pokémon that lives at the top of a tree that is over 1000 years old, and it can create strong winds with its leaf fan.

Its type is Grass/Dark, which helps Nidoran resist its weaknesses to Water, Ground, and Psychic, since Slowbro can't do anything about it anyway.

After all, my current moveset is Hot Water + Psychic + Yawn + Slack Off. Tsk, maybe I should bring an Ice Beam.

"Yang, you really are very knowledgeable," Kanako said with a strange expression. Everyone around her took out their Pokédexs to see what kind of Pokémon it was.

After all, this Pokémon is quite rare in the Kanto region, as it is unique to the Hoenn region, which is relatively far from Kanto.

However, its pre-evolution form has been spotted in Evergreen Forests in recent years, and I'm also missing a Grass-type Pokémon...

"Five-up attack—!" Moreover, this kind of Pokémon is also a perfect counter to Slowbro, so Kanako gives the order!

"Your turn!" Yang Xiying switched Pokémon at this moment, and the pink intelligent monster was directly transformed into a red and white steel fortress!

As soon as it appeared, it was struck by a peep from a tengu-shaped Pokémon that suddenly appeared in front of it, and a crisp sound rang out in the air!

However, it was of no use. The newly appeared Pokémon's HP only dropped by a sliver, because this was Forretress, a Bug/Steel type!

Its entire body is encased in a hard, uneven shell, giving the impression that it would hurt if hit. The inside of the white shell is red.

The red shell appeared quite smooth, but several sharp points protruded from it, so much so that only the eyes were visible.

"..." Seeing this guy, Kanako could only frown. Then, at this moment, Kanako also changed her Pokémon.

"You cunning tengu! Come back!"

"Foretos! Charge!"

Yang Xiying followed closely behind. Facing the cunning Tengu, he naturally wanted to press his advantage. Foretus's pounce came in handy!

With Foretus's defensive strength, a single pounce could knock down the cunning tengu, which is his only way to suppress him!

However, the speed of switching Pokémon is always faster than the speed of the Pokémon's move, and the Stranglethorn disappears!

"Roar--!!!"

A blue bipedal monster took its place and appeared directly on the field! And it also took the brunt of Foretrus's attack!

—His health dropped by one level! Nidoran's health bar was now down to four levels.

"..." Yang Xiying's eyes narrowed slightly as she watched the opponent replace Nido, because this would give the opponent an advantageous position.

"Nidoko, provoke!" So Kanako directly provoked, and Yang Xiying followed suit and gave the order at the same time!

"Foretus! Wall of Light!"

The commands were issued simultaneously by both sides. Nido immediately revealed a mocking expression and beckoned to Foretus with her finger.

However, Foretus remained unmoved, his eyes glowing blue, and a transparent square glass wall appeared before him before disappearing.

For the next period of time, Yang Xiying's Pokémon will also appear to reduce the damage when it is attacked!

"...Provocation didn't work?!"

Kanako's eyes widened as she watched this scene, but she quickly noticed the phantom of a bluish-white leaf appearing above Foretus's head!

"...The item worked?" She realized that the other party had used some kind of item to break the taunt effect, but she was somewhat ignorant about it...

"Mind Herb can restore the Pokémon's ability to use its moves once when it is attacked by a move like Taunt and is unable to use them freely."

Yang Xiying also offered an explanation at this moment.

"I've said before that I'm very clear about my team's weaknesses, so it's reasonable to give Foretus this kind of item."

It's just that now someone is using provocation, so the Mind Herb he brought to Foretus is useless.

To prevent provocation, he even considered changing Slowpoke's ability back to Oblivious, since Oblivious can prevent the effects of provocation!

"..."

At this moment, not only Kanako, but also everyone watching felt a sense of horror. No way! The other side managed to defend against that?!

They were almost surprised when they saw Kanako use Taunt. Yeah! Taunt is perfect for dealing with Pokémon that use disgusting moves!

—But now it seems that provoking the other side is not so easy.

"Nidoran! Earth Power!"

This time, Kanako went straight for an offensive move! Since the opponent had used a light screen, using taunt was no longer effective.

It would be better to attack directly. With Nidoran's strength, he could easily whittle down a significant amount of Foretus's health bar at the same level.

Even with Light Screen on the field, Nidoran can still chip away at Forretress's Special Defense by 40% with Earth Power, since the opponent's Special Defense is very weak.

Furthermore, Earth Power can also significantly reduce the opponent's Slowbro's HP – since they have Light Screen, the opponent is likely to switch Pokémon.

Although the opponent might also use Tangela, which is Grass-type and resistant to Ground, I can't worry about that now!

"Foretoldoth, come back!" Just as Kanako had expected, Yang Xiying sent Foretoldoth back.

As soon as the Dark River entered the fray, it was hit by Nido's Energy Fountain, which tore the ground apart and unleashed a burst of orange energy!

Slowbro's health bar dropped by 30% instantly, even under the protection of Light Screen. Kanako smirked as she watched.
