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

"Umbreon! Round Eyes!"

The commands from both sides were issued simultaneously, and this scene seemed familiar: the Azure Blade Ghost's attack was reduced by one, and Umbreon was taken away by the Regret Sword!

"The rest is up to you."

At this moment, Green released his remaining Pokémon, which looked like a burlap sack full of things.

It has four limbs, is entirely purple, has thorns covering its back, and has a rather comical face with a grinning mouth and scarlet pupils.

"Oh? You really have quite a few rare Pokémon," Yang Xiying raised an eyebrow as she looked at the new Pokémon the other side had sent out.

This is a Pokémon named Gengar, which was once the only Ghost-type Pokémon in the Kanto region along with its pre-evolution.

In terms of combat power, it belongs to the very powerful type, because this guy's base stats are allocated to where they should be.

With high Special Attack and Speed, and being a Ghost-type, it has many powerful moves, which can lead to a wide variety of tactics.

Most importantly, this thing can also Mega Evolve!

"Heh, you always seem so confident no matter what Pokémon you encounter," Green said at this moment.

Yang Xiying clearly recognized Gengar, and judging from this, he felt that the other party had seen through many things about him again.

"Gengar! Ambush!" Azure waved its hand! The speed of Azure Flame Blade Ghost increased by two levels, reaching an incredible level.

—The only way to deal with a guy like that is to use a preemptive strike!

"Azure Flame Blade Demon! Shadow Sneak Attack!"

Yang Xiying gave the order at this moment, and just as Gengar revealed a sinister smile, about to unleash a powerful attack on the opposing Pokémon...

Its shadow suddenly went out of control, turning directly into ropes that entangled it. Just as Gengar was unable to move, Azure Flame Blade Ghost arrived in front of it!

The sword pierced a hole in Gengar! Gengar's health bar dropped by 50%; if it weren't for the reduced attack power from Round Eye, it would have lost even more.

Gengar seemed to deflate at this moment, losing its desire to attack. Seeing this, Green also felt that it had no intention of fighting.

"So your Azure Flame Blade Demon can also use preemptive strikes?" The surprise attack is a very powerful Dark attribute move.

However, it will not be effective if the opponent does not use offensive moves. In addition, a surprise attack will also fail if it is used after the opponent has acted!

Therefore, it is helpless against Pokémon that are fast and have the initiative to attack... and Blaze is exactly that kind of configuration.

“Yes, but I really didn’t expect you to give a Gengar that’s going for Special Attack the Trap,” Yang Xiying replied, then revealed a subtle expression.

He was even prepared to sacrifice the Azure Flame Blade Demon, after all, this Azure Flame Blade Demon was a very standard combination of shadow ambush, close combat, regret sword, and light wall.

They couldn't share the same fate, after all, Yang Xiying was very confident that the other side wouldn't fall for it a second time, and she had many teammates.

There's no need for Pokémon to have every move imaginable; each should just have its own role. But it seems like we've stumbled upon something quite right...

"So it's checkmated," Gengar is now at 50% health, and another Shadow Sneak Attack from Azure Blade Ghost will finish it off.

—And then all that was left was 3D Dragon 2, a weakened enemy with only half its health remaining…

"Stop! Stop! Stop! I surrender! You win! You're amazing!" Qinglu realized that she had no chance of turning the tide now!

Why the hell didn't I let Gengar use Shadow Ball?!

"...You flatter me!" Yang Xiying clasped his hands in thanks, his victory over Qinglu was the final outcome.

"Well done, Yang Xiying! Haha! Qinglu, it's definitely not an easy thing for you to surpass me."

After the match ended and the Master Duel Device was retrieved, Crimson came over to greet Yang Xiying, then turned green with a glint in his eye!

“I at least managed to get rid of one of the Pokémon on the other side, but you were tortured by Yang Xiying’s four Pokémon in turn,” said Qinglu, veins bulging on his forehead.

“Foretos left on his own, how could it be because of you?” Crimson retorted, and Yang Xiying acted as a peacemaker at this moment.

"Alright, you two don't need to argue about this. I'm already tired after playing two games in a row."

"Let me know what you want to eat and drink. Now that we've made arrangements, how about we have a get-together? Hmm, it's on me!"

"Great!"

Chi Hong revealed an excited expression. After all, she was getting a free meal and didn't think at all that Yang Xiying was treating her because she was using her own money.

“Heh, I won’t stand on ceremony with you,” Green replied, also wanting to take this opportunity to chat with the other person.

"—Let's go!"

P.S.: This is a combined chapter. I kept rewriting and rewriting the battle concept, and before I knew it, it was already the next day... lol...

There are 23 chapters to go.

NO.135+136 Let's explore the cave today!

"...Huh? So Yang, you also caught a Fire Monkey."

Yang Xiying, along with her red and green clothes, found a restaurant, asked for a private room, and chatted while waiting for the food to be served.

They were all trainers, so the conversation mostly veered towards Pokémon, such as what Pokémon they had recently encountered or caught.

Rather than saying it verbally, it's better to release it directly, since there's no need for battles now.

As a result, miniature versions of Pokémon appeared in the room, which is one of the functions of the modern Poké Ball.

Although Pokémon are positioned similarly to pets, most of them are large, making it difficult for them to follow humans.

Although they have a tendency to shrink, this is actually uncontrollable; it's more like a kind of insurance measure.

The Poké Ball containment technique merely utilizes this to catalyze its development, allowing scientists to further advance related technologies.

Making the shrinking of Pokémon controllable also makes it easier to bring Pokémon and trainers closer together, without the need for Poké Balls.

Therefore, the Poké Ball has been improved to the point that it can release corresponding energy waves, allowing Pokémon to move around even when they are outside, maintaining a size of over ten centimeters.

—Just like figurines and collectible figures.

When he saw Yang Xiying release all the Pokémon, Red couldn't suppress his curiosity and started observing.

Besides Nidoking and Umbreon, the Pokémon that guy Qinglv caught also included Rattata, Porygon 2, Gengar, Alakazam, Dodrus, Growlithe, and Golem.

In addition to the four Pokémon that Yang Xiying used in the previous battle, she also has Diglett, Porygon, and Primeape... She has the same Pokémon as me!

“Yes,” Yang Xiying responded as she reviewed the previous battle with Qinglu, while Qinglu also glared resentfully at Chihong.

"You've revealed quite a bit of information to Yang Xiying," he realized from the moment Yang Xiying gave the giant vine the Tongtong Fruit that the other side was prepared.

The All-Punch Berry is similar to the Spiky Berry. When a Pokémon holding it is hit by a Poison-type move with excellent effects, the damage is halved!

Yang Xiying admitted that it was to guard against her Nidoking and Gengar, but he didn't tell Yang Xiying that he had caught Gengar!

In order to give their competitors the biggest surprise, the Pokémon caught during the Blue Journey will not be revealed.

This can only be confirmed through battle, but we can reveal some details after the battle, which will be a good opportunity for the kids to meet their new friends.

That's what he did with Red, and after Pallet Town, he never battled Yang Xiying again.

—So it's obvious that Crimson revealed this.

“After all, he returned half of the money I handed over after my defeat,” Akane replied, even though it was only 5000 yen, it was still money.

"And only in this way can Yang Xiying win more reliably. Besides, didn't you also ask others for information about Yang Xiying?"

"—Even if you gather intelligence, you still can't beat him."

"Tsk, compared to Yang Xiying, my cultivation is indeed still somewhat lacking."

Qinglu clicked her tongue in displeasure. Yang Xiying's knowledge was indeed formidable; she was truly worthy of being a procrastinating teacher.

Oh, Chi Hong doesn't know that Yang Xiying is Teacher Ge.

Because Chi Hong was somewhat oblivious, Qing Lü didn't reveal Yang Xi Ying's online identity.

—This is something Yang Xiying can decide for herself.

"So, Yang Xiying, besides the 3D Dragon I gave you, your new companions are Diglett and Infernape?"

Qinglv also focused his attention on Yang Xiying's Pokémon. When he saw Diglett, he seemed to see the shadow of someone.

"Could this gopher be a descendant of my sister's gopher?" Hmm, this gopher does look a lot like my own gopher.

"Yes, I really wanted a gopher, and your sister's gopher just happened to lay an egg, and I ended up raising it after it hatched."

Yang Xiying nodded in response.

"It seems my sister cares about you quite a bit," Qinglu said with a strange expression, while Yang Xiying felt a little uneasy.

—That looks like the scrutinizing gaze of a girlfriend's relative.

"However, since it is my sister's Dugtrio descendant, its quality cannot be too bad. I am looking forward to the day when you use it to fight me."

As Qinglv said this, his sister used to be a famous Pokémon trainer, but she specialized in flashy Pokémon performances.

Moreover, Diglett is a Pokémon that is well-suited for battles, even though its base stats are only a little over 400 after evolution.

However, its attributes are quite impressive, with a speed of 120, an attack power of 100, and the popular offensive ground attribute.

Its ability is also incredibly powerful: Sand Tunnel, which prevents most opposing Pokémon from escaping.

In other words, it can prevent opponents from replacing their Pokémon, making it a very strategically significant Pokémon.

"As for Primeape, just like me, you and Red have the same Pokémon. How do you plan to use Primeape?"

As he spoke, Green also turned his gaze to Infernape, comparing it with the red Infernape.

"—Could it evolve even further?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing Qinglu's words, Chihong also showed a surprised expression and turned her gaze towards Yang Xiying.

"Why do you think that?" Yang Xiying did not answer directly, but instead asked Qinglu her question.

[Because your Pokémon are mostly defensive and counter-attacking, although you do have Pokémon like Blaze and Excadrill.]

However, given their functionality, they can also be used as surprise weapons, while Primalmon seems a bit too normal compared to Diglett and Blaze.

With a subtle expression, Qinglu sent a text message to Yang Xiying, saying that the Infernape's skill pool and characteristics made it seem like a pure damage dealer.

If he's to be used as a surprise weapon, he's a bit weaker than Azure Flame Blade Ghost Groundhog, so their roles overlap somewhat.

So the only possibility is that Primeape has an evolved form, since Tangoose already has an evolved form, and Primeape...

“…Heh, Primeape does indeed have an evolution,” Yang Xiying replied with a smile, looking at the green explanation on her phone.

"Really? But how does Primeape evolve? By leveling up? Using items? Or by linking and trading?"

Red also showed a surprised expression, and then couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked, "It would be a good thing if Primeape could evolve another stage."

“Its evolution method is similar to that of the vine monster,” Yang Xiying responded, this time without worrying about being overheard.

"—But there are differences."

"Similar to the Vine Monster? But there are differences?" The green and red expressions became focused. The Vine Monster evolved by learning a certain skill.

So Hot Monkey is the same, but what's the difference?

"Yes, Primeape needs to master that move to evolve when its rage reaches a critical point."

"—Infernape possesses the power to break free from physical limitations."

“I see…that sounds a bit obscure and hard to understand,” Crimson nodded subconsciously, but it sounded like some kind of ancient incantation.

"Haha, figure it out slowly. That's all I can tell you for now, since I haven't even started using that Pokémon yet."

Yang Xiying revealed a playful smile. He didn't intend to explain directly; he still planned to find some intelligence advantage in the face of the crimson and green colors.

After all, these bastards hadn't told him what Pokémon they'd caught before today's battle; it was obvious they were trying to wage an intelligence war!

—That way, the other side might capture a legendary beast without even realizing it!

"So you're not even going to tell me what that skill is?" Qinglu said, then took out a few banknotes and put them in front of Yang Xiying.

“…You’re ruining our brotherhood,” Yang Xiying said, feeling somewhat helpless about Qinglu’s actions.

—I can't even keep a little mystery!

"Come on," Qinglu pouted. "With your kind of selfless nature, it's too difficult for you to get something for free. Are you going to take it or not?"
