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

Then I called all the Pokémon out. Although Pokémon can eat while inside their Poké Balls, having them outside would increase the sense of distance between them.

This time, Yang Xiying finally understood the lineup of the two, with Kanako currently carrying six Pokémon.

Butterfree, Charizard, Starmie, Nidoqueen, Snapper, Magneton (a hybrid of Fire, Water, and Grass types).

The last one, Magneton, is also a good Pokémon. Having all five Pokémon focused on Special Attack makes it quite effective against your own team.

Meanwhile, Kirito's side also has a very aggressive feel, with a Primalsaur, a Hitmonlee, a Machamp, and a Poliwag.

Of course, as a return gift, Yang Xiying also summoned all the Pokémon except Azure Flame Blade Ghost, and then Kirito pounced on Slowbro.

"It's Slowpoke! So cute! Yang, your Pokémon all look so kind," Tongxiang noticed the characteristics of Yang Xiying's team this time.

Whether it's Forrettos, Slowpoke, Giant Vine, Gopher, or 3D Dragon, they all look remarkably docile, which is somewhat incongruous with Yang Xiying's rather fierce appearance.

—Only that little monkey monster fits the description.

"Because I am a compassionate Pokémon trainer," Yang Xiying boasted without batting an eye, "my battle style is also relatively calm and gentle."

So calm and gentle...

Kanako, listening from the side, had a subtle expression on her face. That fighting style was so calm and gentle that others wanted to punch him.

“Oh, I understand. After all, practicing martial arts requires a peaceful state of mind,” Tongxiang said, bringing up the topic of martial arts training directly.

"...However, Yang, you're not a martial arts practitioner, are you? After all, you're carrying six Pokémon."

If you're traveling as a fighter, then like her, you usually only need to bring four Pokémon.

Kirika's trip was simply to meet various fighting masters and Fighting-type Pokémon, and then fight them.

—After all, her main profession is a fighter.

"I practice my skills mainly to protect myself, and catching Pokémon also makes it easier to communicate with them and gain their recognition."

Yang Xiying responded that having better skills makes it easier to tame Pokémon that you want to catch, as was the case with Mankey.

It was very proud of its own skills.

"I see. So you and Kanako are going to the Quartz Conference?" Kirika nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized something.

Every so often, every region in this world holds a grand event to determine who is the strongest Pokémon Trainer, and the Kanto region also has one.

To participate, one must collect at least eight badges locally and have at least six Pokémon, and Kanako Yang Xiying meets these requirements.

"Kanako, I don't know if I can participate yet, because I haven't collected a single gym badge yet."

"That's quite unexpected, considering that Yang Neng is from Yan Country, so he can no longer be considered a rookie Pokémon trainer."

Tongxiang looked surprised. She had only concluded that Yang Xiying was an experienced trainer because she sensed a powerful Pokémon aura around her.

"With your strength, Yang, collecting gym badges within eight days shouldn't be a problem, as long as you can reach the city with a gym within eight days."

As Kanako spoke, she had personally witnessed this person's strength, while Yang Xiying's lips curled into a smile.

"I'm really glad you think so highly of me."

“In that case, I’m even more looking forward to fighting against you, Yang,” Tongxiang said with a smile, and Yang Xiying responded directly.

"—Let's settle this after dinner."

"Yes, I can't wait."

……

Before long, the group was full and satisfied, and now it was the perfect time for some post-meal exercise!

Yang, keep going! Win mine too!

Before going into the ring, Kanako also sent Yang Xiying a text message to cheer him on, which surprised him a bit.

【Oh...oh, but if I really win, are you okay with that?】 There's something off about this girl asking me to beat Kirito.

Kanako knew what would happen if she won, having experienced it firsthand.

Wouldn't that be weird? Putting aside Kanako's feelings, I myself feel it's fucking eerie!

He just started a relationship with a girl and now he's looking for a new one. Isn't that just a heartless scumbag who gets bored with the old and craves the new?

Most importantly, this girl seems to have a lot of feelings for me, which makes me feel like I'm letting her down.

Although she has already let down many girls, Yang Xiying still wants to do her best to take care of them.

—At least I can have a clear conscience.

"Of course I have no problem, or rather, Yang, do you feel like you're letting me down?" Kanako replied.

"After all, we've already progressed to that point," Yang Xiying said with a strange expression, while Kanako smiled at that moment.

[Ha, that's compensation you deserve for defeating me. As long as you have that thought, I'd give you my life.]

There's nothing she can do about being less skilled than others, but she can't let Yang Xiying's characteristics excuse her from losing to her opponent.

On what grounds? Is there any reason to do this? This is how the world has always operated: the loser is handed over to the winner.

Although it was the first time she had met someone like Yang Xiying who had such an intense obsession with women that even money couldn't buy her.

But the world is so big, there are bound to be people like that. If it's this person, she can accept it. Besides, letting Yang lose to Tongxiang would only make her more unhappy.

If he loses, then what does it mean to think of defeating him? It would be better to let Kirito lose.

So it's just being stick sisters? ...Hmm, that's still a bit hard to accept. I really need to become stronger.

【……Yeah?】

Yang Xiying's expression was strange. Come to think of it, none of the girls who knew about her characteristics had ever thought of stopping her.

Is it because even if these things are exposed, people will take them for granted? Or are they female protagonists being threatened by the blond-haired thugs?

Kanako felt the same way. Although the other party was indeed taking the bullet for her, something still felt off.

In short, Yang, just follow your heart. After all, you don't want to lose. Kanako could sense Yang Xiying's competitive spirit.

“Indeed,” Yang Xiying replied. He didn’t like losing battles, because that would make the author just pad the word count!

So, Yang, keep it up! Win against Tongxiang beautifully!

"I understand," Yang Xiying said as she rushed to the battlefield, while Tongxiang, who had been waiting for a long time, asked, "Have the tactics been discussed?"

“Okay, we can begin,” Yang Xiying nodded and then showed her Trainer Card, and Tongxiang also showed her Trainer Card.

—Then the two overlapped!

P.S.: This chapter is 5,000 words long, please vote for it!

PS: I spent a few hundred dollars on Street Fighter 6 and Guilty Gear, now I'm going to play Bridget (although I want to play Samon) and Cammy Julie ().

What can the No. 94 Mosquito Coil Swimmer do?

"You'll be leading the charge next, Mosquito Coil Swimmer!"

"Foretos! Charge!"

After the Master Duel Device was activated, both sides began to log in their Pokémon, and the match officially began with the announcement from the stick figure in the pink suit!

As usual, Yang Xiying started with Forrettos, while Tong Xiang's first pick was no longer the Flying Leg Lang.

Instead, it was a Pokémon that hadn't yet been used to fight against Yang Xiying's team, and it looked similar to the Air Man from Mega Man 2, which Yang Xiying had played before.

It was entirely blue, with white gloves on its hands, and the mosquito coil-like pattern on its abdomen gave it a somewhat dizzying appearance.

Mosquito coil swimmer...

Looking at the Pokémon opposite her, Yang Xiying seemed to be deep in thought. Its base stats were over 500, but its attributes were evenly distributed.

His waist was so thick that there was nothing particularly outstanding about it, all his stats were under 100, and his speed was only 70.

In addition, its own skill pool doesn't have many useful high-power moves, so in terms of output, it is not as good as the likes of Machamp, Incineroar, and Hitmonlee.

Furthermore, this Pokémon is difficult to synergize with other Pokémon the opponent possesses, unless the opponent brings Hitmonlee, Machamp, or Infernape, or the opponent brings Rain Dance.

This would trigger the Mosquito Swimmer's "Easy Swimming" ability, doubling its speed in rainy weather, but it shouldn't be its first pick.

It seems the other side still wants to fight with Pokémon individually, just like they did with Kanako before. So, here's the question.

—Excavator technology… Pshaw, what can a single mosquito coil swimmer do?

"Foretrus! Reflect Wall!" Regardless of the opponent's battle strategy, Yang Xiying continued to act as usual.

Yang Xiying first boosted the defense of her team, as there are very few Fighting-type Pokémon that can go for Special Attack.

Therefore, strengthening defenses is naturally a priority over reflective walls.

"Poliwag! Mind's Eye!" Kirito followed up by giving the command to her Pokémon, and Poliwag closed its eyes at that moment.

Suddenly, an eye-like phantom appeared on Forretos's body, while Forretos's entire body glowed with blue light.

—A transparent glass wall appeared!

Cunning?!

Kanako, who was watching from the sidelines, immediately showed a look of surprise and uncertainty. This was a move that would guarantee a hit with any other move she used after it was activated.

The Poliwag Swimmer has a significant boost to some high-powered but difficult-to-hit moves. His high-powered but low-accuracy moves include...

"Mosquito Coil Warrior! Hypnosis!"

"Foretus! Talking in your sleep!"

The instructions from both sides were transmitted at the same time again, but the Mosquito Swimmer was faster. It clenched its fists and crossed them, then spread its arms!

The mosquito coil pattern on its abdomen released a golden energy ring, and it suddenly flew into the sky before falling horizontally to the ground!

The ring instantly covered the entire area, and Foretus was also affected by it, so much so that its eyelids became heavy at that moment.

Foretus was asleep, but it could still move. It spun rapidly, its body crackling with golden arcs of electricity, and crashed into the Mosquito Swimmer!

The mosquito coil swimmer was directly hit and flew back several meters like a kite with a broken string, losing 20% ​​of his health bar!

—And Foretus instantly transformed into a giant vine!

"...Yang, you're far too prescient!" Seeing this, Tongxiang's expression couldn't hold back anymore!

Sleep Talk is a move that a Pokémon can only use when it is asleep. It will randomly select a move that it has not learned to attack!

The opposing team opted for Volt Replacement, which was incredibly effective against Mosquito Swimmer. Wait, why is this guy even giving Foretus sleep talking?!

—Did we miss a tactical flaw?!

"After all, your lineup allows me, Forretos, to free up a skill," the opposing lineup seems to rely solely on physical attacks.

Therefore, he can immediately remove Light Screen, which halves the special attack of a move, thus freeing up a skill slot.

"Then, seeing that your lineup includes Mosquito Coil Swimmer, I wondered if you would let it play. Mind's Eye Hypnosis, that's really powerful."

When it comes to Pokémon, Yang Xiying's first consideration is what annoying moves the opponent has, and Poliwag happens to have quite a few.

Hypnosis is one such technique, and when combined with the mind-reading skills one can learn, it is almost guaranteed to hit.

Moreover, since the base stats are over 500, even a tanky character won't necessarily get one-hit kills, and there are still plenty of opportunities to use attacks.

"Giant Vine!" Yang Xiying gave the command again, and Tong Xiang reacted and gave the command as soon as she had spoken a few words on the other side.

"Mosquito Coil Swimmer! Keep being cunning!"

"Parasite seed!"

Mosquito Swimmer simply repeated his previous move, closing his eyes to lock onto the giant vine, but he was also hit by the seeds thrown by the giant vine and then entangled by the vine!

Mosquito Coil Swimmer's HP dropped by 1/8! Her health bar was down to 70%, but Kirika remained relatively calm.

"Mosquito Coil Swimmer! Earth Fissure!"

"Giant Vine! Switch hands!"

At Yang Xiying's command, the giant vines vanished in a streak of light, replaced by Foretus, who was still asleep.
