Pokémon: Psychic Fighting Master

Chapter 199 Testing Safiya’s Growth

"After the first round of auditions, 56 trainers have been selected. Everyone applauds and encourages!"

Vivian returned to the stage to arouse the enthusiasm of the audience.

"Okay, the next game will be a 2V2 confrontation."

"In these two rounds of competition, the elimination system will be used to determine 28 trainers."

"The second round of the competition will also include venue restrictions, with 28 teams competing."

"Four venues are randomly selected from grass, rocks, water, and ice as battle venues."

"Trainers cannot change Pokémon during the battle."

"The team that wins in the end will advance to the next round."

"Trainers, please wait a moment. Our staff will prepare the venue later and will use computers to randomly match each other to allocate your opponents." Vivian stood on the stage and explained the rules.

……

Safiya, who was sitting backstage watching TV with Haoyan, felt a little uneasy and looked at Haoyan for help.

"Brother Haoyan, I joined the field this time. If it hits the water or ice, my Cordora and Flame Chicken will be in trouble."

“If it’s grass and rocky ground, it’s better.”

In fact, it is normal to introduce venue restrictions to test the contestants.

The test is whether under different circumstances, one can flexibly use the environment to give oneself an advantage.

This is why most of the Pokémon used by gym leaders use the same attributes in order to take advantage of the location.

For example, the Liuli City Gym itself is a large pool. The gym owner's water Pokémon can achieve a huge bonus in this environment.

There is enough water around, which can quickly mobilize the surrounding water energy and make quick moves.

Moreover, water-type Pokémon can also dive into water to dodge attacks.

In this way, the advantages of the geographical location can be maximized.

Or maybe it was the hot weather in Fuyan Gym and Fuyan Town.

When fire-type Pokémon use fire-type moves, there is a damage bonus.

The rock gym in Karnaz City is built into a mountainous area, which is conducive to the running of rock-type Pokémon.

Also, the gym in Zijin City is full of electrical equipment...

All are to bless the Pokémon with corresponding attributes.

Haoyan was not worried about the venue and comforted Safiya: "When you challenged Fu Yan and Kanaz before, there were venue restrictions. Didn't you successfully win the badge?"

"Besides, if your Pokémon doesn't adapt to the field, then your opponent's Pokémon must adapt to the field?"

"If you worry about gains and losses and are too nervous, it will easily affect your judgment."

Shafia hummed, her mood obviously improved a lot: "Thank you, Brother Haoyan!"

"After your explanation, I feel more confident!"

Haoyan's few words restored Shafiya's confidence.

Unfortunately, Shafia's confidence did not last long.

……

"Thank you to all the staff. Thanks to their hard work, the venue has been arranged."

"Next is the second round of 56-28, and the computer starts randomly assigning opponents."

"Trainers please, please come on stage and prepare after seeing the corresponding event." Vivian said to the camera.

Everyone's name and photo appeared on the big screen on the stage, jumping randomly.

After a while, Shafia saw her opponent.

I couldn't help shouting: "No!"

"I'm too unlucky!"

On the big screen, Shafiya’s opponent was none other than Hao Yan!

"This..." Haoyan also didn't expect that his opponent would be Safiya.

"My opponent is Brother Haoyan. It seems that my competition this time will stop here..."

The confidence that Safiya had just raised was suddenly shattered.

However, Safiya quickly adjusted.

"It just so happens that we can take this opportunity to compete with brother Haoyan!"

"Although I know that with my strength, it is impossible to win!"

"But, I want Brother Haoyan to test my growth during this period!"

Haoyan smiled and looked at Safiya. When Safiya stayed at his house, she would stay with her Pokémon and practice together.

After such a long time, Safiya should have grown well and made some progress.

It's also good to test the growth of 'students'.

Haoyan said: "Okay, let's have a serious battle."

"Brother Haoyan, let us have a serious battle!"

Shafia nodded vigorously, clenched her hands into fists, and looked like she was working hard to make progress.
