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

"That's only natural, it's just a pity that level 2 gym battles are only 3-on-3, so they can't show you more of the charm of Water-type Pokémon."

"Square King! Waterfall!" Misty gave her Pokémon the attack command, and Yang Xiying also began to give orders.

"Dragon 2! Teleport!"

He's now preparing to replace Porygon2, because facing Quagsire is basically a battle that can go on forever.

Quagsire is a very tanky Pokémon, and it can regenerate itself. It also has the ability to be innocent.

Using Porygon 2 to fight would be somewhat agonizing, even though he had the patience, because the opponent's third Pokémon hadn't even appeared yet.

—We should force them out first before engaging in a battle of wits with them.

Swamp King lunged forward, swimming towards Porygon 2 and crashing into it, causing its health bar to drop by 3%!

But this was not a big deal. With 70% health remaining, the 3D dragon used its teleportation ability with a priority of -6.

Now he can switch in other Pokémon without taking any damage! Yang Xiying naturally sent out his Giant Vine!

...The rain still shows no signs of stopping. Is this a bighead gull carrying a damp rock?

Noticing that it was still raining, Yang Xiying seemed lost in thought. Almost five rounds had passed, but the rain was still falling…

If the opponent's Rain ability isn't from Generation VI or earlier, then it should be holding a Damp Rock that extends the turn by three.

"Giant Vine..." Xiaoxia frowned slightly. This Pokémon was almost her natural counter!

"Quakeh! Come back!" However, as the Gym Leader, he still has two more opportunities to switch Pokémon!

"Giant Vine! Slam it down!"

Yang Xiying also gave the order at this moment: the grass-type giant vine has an absolute advantage against the swamp king, so the opponent will most likely switch out!

—Then, let's wear down the opponent now!

As expected, Misty swapped out her new Pokémon, a blue seahorse Pokémon with a style reminiscent of a black seahorse.

It just looks more mature, and this one is called King Thorn Dragon, which is the final evolution of Horsea!

But no matter what, he still had to take the hit from the giant vine. This slap knocked back 25% of the opponent's health!

It also knocked down the opponent's item! It was a pair of very fancy glasses. (Note: The last sentence, "Especially important glasses, increase Pokémon's Special Attack by 1.5 times!", appears to be unrelated and likely refers to a separate event.)

—However, you can only use the same moves.

"Heh, instead of choosing Pelipper, you're using Kingdra to attack me?" Yang Xiying raised an eyebrow, while Xiaoxia's expression darkened slightly.

Since it's still raining, choosing Pelipper is somewhat of a loss, and with Trick Room present, the opponent can easily eliminate Pelipper.

Even though Pelipper is a Water/Flying type, it is still in danger when facing Vinegar, since its Pokémon's durability is not very good.

The three Pokémon on the other side all have ridiculously high defense. If you like using such fat Pokémon so much, why don't you get fat and die?

Furthermore, if she chooses Pelipper, it could very well lead to the opponent swapping out Pokémon 2, and she doesn't have the chance to swap Pokémon with the opponent.

We can't afford to waste time, so it's better to send out Kingdra, which should have been out fighting long ago. With its water and dragon attributes, it can hold out for a while.

Moreover, Kingdra's strength lies not only in its defense but also in its offense; it's just that these days, focusing on getting its glasses hit is somewhat...

"Kingdragon! Ice Beam!" However, the opponent was a Grass-type Pokémon, and it could only surrender when faced with an Ice-type move!

—Although the magic space still exists, this is the final round!

"Giant Vine! Ultimate Drain!" Yang Xiying did not switch to the 3D Dragon 2, but instead engaged in a head-on attack with the opposing Kingdra.

After all, he only had two Pokémon with low health left, and although Porygon2 was 3% healthy, Trick Room was about to end.

It's easy to become passive if you switch now, so it's better to let the Giant Vine fight against the King Thorn Dragon head-on. With its tankiness, it might work!

Because it's a magic space, the Giant Vine move skips the wind-up animation and extends its vine arms to pierce through the Thorn Dragon King!

The opponent's health bar dropped by 35% to only 40%, and the Thorn Dragon King followed the trail and shot out a blue beam of light that hit the vines that had not yet been retrieved!

Then the King Thorn Dragon's beam swept across, freezing the giant vine instantly, and its health bar dropped by 35% at that moment!

"What's going on?! It's clearly a super effective move...!" Xiaoxia also showed a look of astonishment at this moment.

"The equipment you gave the giant vine was an assault vest?!"

She suddenly thought of a possibility, because she had seen this configuration in the hands of a fellow gym leader before!

With its high HP and high defense base stats, coupled with the Assault Vest, the Giant Vine's tankiness becomes incredibly annoying...

—The Assault Vest increases your Special Defense by 1.5 times!

“Yes, it’s a pity that I can’t use Parasitic Seed because of this,” Yang Xiying replied cheerfully to the other side, wearing an assault vest, just as its name suggests.

—When equipped, it can only be used for offense; it cannot be used for variations.

"..." Xiaoxia's face darkened. Now she realized that the person on the other side was a trainer who liked to use despicable tactics to annoy people.

"Continue the attack! Ultimate Absorption!" Although the magic space has disappeared, Yang Xiying still wants to fight the opponent!

"Freezing beam!"

Xiaoxia continued to send Kingdra to attack. Now that the opponents were all slow, Kingdra's Swift Swim ability was no longer needed.

So I might as well fight to the death with the other side. Maybe my freezing beam will have a freezing effect or hit a vital spot!

boom--! ! !

However, Xiaoxia's Dragon King attack missed its vital point and did not trigger any special effects, but Yang Xiying's Ultimate Absorption hit its vital point.

The King Thorn Dragon can no longer rise again!

PS: This is a combined chapter, there will be fourteen more updates!

P.S.: King of Kings will be taking a break next week, hmph!

NO.153 She still doesn't want to change her mind!

"It actually hit a vital spot...?"

Xiaoxia's face turned pale. She had just lost one of her key players, but fortunately, the giant vine on the other side was now low on health...

"Go, Peacock!"

And now that the rain has stopped, it's only natural that I choose this one. The big blue and white bird makes its reappearance!

The rain from the sky continued!

"Hurricane!" Facing a Grass-type Pokémon, Misty naturally chose a move that countered the opponent's Flying-type move!

"Giant Vine! Switch hands!"

Due to the attack from the King Thorn Dragon, the Giant Vine's health bar dropped to 40%, although it was restored to 60% with Ultimate Drain.

But this still couldn't stop the storm from the other side, so Yang Xiying immediately switched Pokémon to Forretress!

This is all to allow the 3 Dragons and 2 Dragons to enter the field unharmed, so Forrettos needs to take the hit, but it is already used to being attacked all the time.

—As long as it brings victory to the team, that's all that matters!

The strong wind reduced Foretus's health bar to zero, and Yang Xiying also took it back. After saying that she would treat him to a big meal later, she replaced it with a 3D Dragon 2 with 70% health!

Porygon 2, equipped with an Evolution Stone and some training in Special Defense, could easily withstand several attacks from Pelipper! It definitely had a chance to make its move!

One strike and the opposing Pelipper is doomed!

"Self-regeneration!" Yang Xiying gave the order at that moment, and Xiaoxia followed suit immediately!

"U-turn!" Her Pelipper has been trained to be faster than Porygon2, so now she can also try to switch Pokémon with moves.

—And this doesn't count towards the limit on the number of times you can exchange Pokémon!

boom--! ! !

At that moment, the Pelican spread its wings and accelerated gliding towards the 3D Dragon 2. The 3D Dragon's health bar reached 65% before it disappeared into the air.

Then Swamp King appeared, but this time it was not hit by Yang Xiying's Thunderbolt attack because the opponent used a recovery move!

Self-regeneration! Allows all cells in the body to regenerate! Can restore half of its maximum HP! 3D Dragon 2's HP is fully restored!

"...!"

Seeing this, Xiaoxia's blood pressure suddenly spiked. She had been thinking that the enemy was low on health and that her side could at least keep playing!

But now... it's like you're playing a game and the enemy suddenly uses a potion to recover! She doesn't want to continue playing!

"3D Dragon 2, Trick Space!" Of course, the battle had to continue, and Yang Xiying activated Trick Space at this moment.

—The Pelipper on the other side is still faster than his Pokémon!

"Morpheus! Waterfall!" Misty chose to attack! The opposing Porygon 2 had already used all four of its moves.

The only offensive move, Thunderbolt, has no effect on Quagsire, so all I need to do now is use Quagsire to wear down the opponent.

—Perhaps if we keep trying, we can strike at the heart of the problem!

Both moved in sync. Porygon2 immediately released a special field, while Quagsire continued to charge forward and crashed into Porygon2!

—My health bar is down by 20%!

"3D Dragon 2, change hands!"

"King of the Swamp! Waterfall Climbing!"

Yang Xiying also replaced the 3D Dragon 2 with the Giant Vine. This time he didn't use teleportation, since Swamp King's power couldn't do much damage to the Giant Vine!

The Waterfall Vine's health bar dropped by 10% to 80%, but the Regeneration Vine restored more than 30% of its health.

"Why is there so much blood?!" Xiaoxia exclaimed in surprise, which made Yang Xiying raise an eyebrow.

"Oh? You were able to realize so quickly that the Giant Vine was carrying an assault vest, but you didn't think about the Giant Vine's special characteristics?"

"...So this guy has the ability to regenerate?" Misty had seen this phenomenon of sudden HP recovery in Water-type Pokémon before.

It's obviously regenerative ability, but I really didn't expect that Giant Vine would have regenerative ability, after all, the one I knew had the chlorophyll ability.

This guy actually managed to research this far?! But now I'm even less of a match for him!

"...So, are we going to surrender?" Yang Xiying offered a constructive suggestion, which caused a subtle exchange of emotions among those around her.

This is the first time they've ever seen a challenger ask a gym leader to surrender, but this guy's battling skills are really amazing...

—I can handle the Level 2 trial so easily!

"No way! Swamp King! Come back!" Xiaoxia refused outright, even though she knew there was no chance of winning.

But Xiaoxia just didn't want to admit defeat, because she had now realized through the battle what kind of philosophy her opponent had.

—Losing a match means paying more than just a fine!

"Giant Vine! Ultimate Absorption!" Yang Xiying acted at this moment, and this time he didn't use the slapping technique!

—Suck directly at the opponent!

The giant vine stretched out its tendril arms and stabbed at the Swamp King, but the Swamp King quickly transformed into a Peacock!

However, the arm whip still took away half of the Peacock's health, and then the Giant Vine's health bar finally came to nearly 100%!

"…!" Xiaoxia sensed something was wrong! But now she could only fight to the death. "Peacock! Hurricane!"

"Giant Vine! Switch hands!" Yang Xiying switched to 3D Dragon 2 again. Its health bar suddenly dropped by 30%, but it was still healthy with 70% health left!

"Thunderbolt!" This time, Misty couldn't switch Pokémon, so Pelipper was finally caught by Thunderbolt!

There's not much else to say; the replaced giant vine can kill the Swamp King with a single ultimate drain attack.

……

"..."

"..."

"...Um, Miss Xia?"

After the battle ended, both sides retrieved their Pokémon, dispelled the dimensional rift, and returned to the real world.

However, Xiaoxia remained silent, hands on her hips, glaring at Yang Xiying as if he had committed some heinous crime.

"...You do have some skill, and I have to admit your strength. Here's the Cerulean Gym Badge, the blue one."
