So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 55 The Mischievous Frog vs. Emperor Naboo

Wei Xin and the others sat in the cafeteria, their eyes glued to the battle taking place in the Magic University Gymnasium.

The challenger is Marie, a star trainer from Spiketown in the Galar region, and the challenged is Mahuateng, the Steel-type Gym Leader from Eastworld.

The game mode is 3v3.

In the video, in the first round, Marie's Morbee brought Old Ma's Ice Goose to low health, but she narrowly lost. Then Marie pulled out the Long-haired Troll, took down the Ice Goose, defeated Cyclops, and used a fake knee to hit Emperor Naboo before being taken down by Emperor Naboo with low health.

Now, each of them has only one Pokémon left.

Marie threw out a Poké Ball: "The moment of truth has arrived, come out, Scoundrel!"

Old Ma also pulled out his trump card: "The gap between us is like a chasm. Let her see what the Emperor Nabo is all about!"

"Using a Croagunk to fight an Empoleon? A first-stage Pokémon against a third-stage Pokémon? That's too hasty," a student in the cafeteria said.

Why not evolve a bit more before trying again?

Pokémon evolution greatly enhances an individual's abilities. Under normal circumstances, the higher the evolution level of a Pokémon, the greater its advantage in battles; this is a consensus among all trainers.

"Trust Mary. She already has four badges. She won't do something so rash," Wei Xin said.

Even so, Wei Xin was still worried for Marie. Marie's forte is Dynamax battles, but Dynamax is a phenomenon unique to the Galar region and cannot be used in the Eastern Region. Therefore, for Marie, participating in a gym battle in the Eastern Region is like dancing in shackles.

Furthermore, Empoleon's type is Water/Steel, which means that Croagunk's Poison-type moves are very ineffective against Empoleon, and the Poison strategy is completely blocked.

"Bad Frog, use Bodybuilding!"

The wicked frog tenses all its muscles, greatly increasing its attack and defense.

Mary chose to strengthen herself at the start to create an advantage, which is a very classic tactic.

"Emperor Naboo, use Feather Dance!"

Emperor Naboo turned his back, waved his hands, wiggled his butt at the scoundrel, and his feathers became fluffy.

"Bad Frog, use Brick Break!"

At Mary's command, the scoundrel leaped forward, closing the distance in an instant, and chopped at Emperor Naboo's vitals with his hand.

"We also use tile splitting!"

Emerald Naboo turned around and caught Croagunk's Brick Break. Croagunk and Emerald Naboo collided, their fists flashing white light as they clashed violently!

However, when Croagunk's attacks hit Empoleon, some of the force is absorbed by Empoleon's feathers. In contrast, Empoleon attacks Croagunk with heavy punches, showing no mercy.

"Isn't Emerald Napolo a Special Attacker? Why bring Brick Break?" a student asked. "Even if the range isn't enough, wouldn't it be better to use a move like Steel Claw?"

When a Pokémon uses a move of its own type, it becomes more powerful and faster.

"Maybe his tactics don't even include Steel Claw," Wei Xin said. "As for Tile Splitting, maybe it's to counter Light Wall and Reflective Wall."

As public figures, Gym Leaders have information online about their preferred Pokémon and their ace Pokémon, making them easy targets for challengers. For example, if a Pokémon excels in Special Attack, a Gym Leader might carry a Light Screen that reduces Special Attack.

The gym leader himself was unaware of the challengers' lineup.

Therefore, gym leaders also prepare some countermeasures, such as using tile-breaking to break the light wall.

Furthermore, as trainers work together with their Pokémon, veteran trainers develop a fixed strategy. Suddenly changing their approach could cause Pokémon to make mistakes, revealing weaknesses, disrupting their rhythm, and affecting the entire match.

In comparison, some rookie trainers employ more unconventional and unexpected tactics, such as a ten-year-old who is the strongest rookie with 20 years of travel experience.

Emperor Naboo launched a fierce and relentless attack on the wicked frog.

This is Pokémon battle. Seeing the battered and bruised Frog in the video, Eevee turned to look at Wei Xin and was deeply moved.

He was actually willing to go to such lengths for me.

At the same time, I have some concerns.

I hope he doesn't get too badly injured.

In the video, the shrewd frog struggles to defend itself while using Brick Break to probe Emerald Naboo's body until it hits a spot, causing Emerald Naboo's body to tremble slightly.

"Now, aim at that spot and use Lightning Fist."

At the same time, Old Ma ordered: "Dream on, Emperor Nabo, block and then use the water cannon."

Emperor Naboo raised his hands, knocking away the hands of the scoundrel. Before the scoundrel could react, he placed his wings in front of his chest, and a vast amount of water energy gathered into them, forming a rotating water sphere.

"Oh no!" Seeing Mary in a disadvantageous position, a student couldn't help but break the chopsticks in his hand.

The scoundrel had exhausted too much energy from the tile-breaking attack and couldn't even use its Thunder Punch. After being hit by this water cannon, it would be crippled even if it didn't fall down.

"No, it's not over yet!" Wei Xin said with a firm gaze.

Why did Wei Xin insist on using Brick Break even when the opponent was in Feather Dance state? At this moment, Wei Xin had already guessed Mary's strategy.

She was at the critical point of Kadenabeele's health, utilizing the Riptide ability, where the skill's power increases as her health decreases, to create a decisive opportunity for herself.

On the screen, lightning crackled from the toes of the Croagunk's feet. With the help of Emerald's block, Croagunk kicked Emerald in the waist, catching Emerald's Feather Dance off guard.

The effect is outstanding!

Emperor Naboo frowned, letting out a muffled groan of pain, but still forced himself to endure the agony: "Naboo!!!"

The water ball in his hand transformed into a giant water column. The wicked frog crossed his arms and forcefully carried the water column into the air, his strength waning like a candle flickering in the wind.

"Now! Use Resurrection!" Wei Xin shouted, raising his arms in the cafeteria!

Resurrection, also known as a miraculous escape, has a greater power the lower the HP is. It is a Fighting-type move and is particularly effective against Steel-type moves.

"Ralts!" Influenced by her trainer's emotions, Ralts also stood on the table and shouted excitedly!

A beat slower to react, Eevee mimicked Wei Xin, raising its two front paws and uttering, "Eevee..."

With a thud, he fell headfirst onto the table.

People around them turned to look.

"Oh dear, your girlfriend is playing in the dojo, and the boyfriend is getting nervous." Senior Sister Huang shrank her neck, glanced sideways, and with a maternal smile on her face, poked Wei Xin's face with her delicate pinky finger, teasing him.

Laughter echoed throughout the cafeteria.

[I'm totally shipping them! I'm totally shipping them!]

Being young is great; you can still enjoy the taste of youth.

"I...I'm sorry! I lost my composure." Realizing he had been too excited, Wei Xin sat back down shyly, holding his head.

Do you believe me if I say it has nothing to do with Mary, I just want to fight?

Wei Xin's gaze remained fixed on the large screen in the cafeteria.

Mary in the video also chose the same playing style as Wei Xin.

The wicked frog raised its leg and, like a shooting star, plummeted to the ground.

"Victory is ours, Naboth the Emperor! One more time, water cannon!"

"Naboo!" Emperor Naboo clasped his hands together, gathering energy once more. Just then, a sudden change occurred: yellow electric snakes snaked across Emperor Naboo's body.

The paralysis effect from the Thunder Fist caused the Emperor Naboo's skill to fail.

In a moment of desperation, Emperor Napoleon changed tactics on the fly, flapping his wings in an extremely dangerous situation to strike the scoundrel.

The scoundrel descended from the sky, his hind leg slamming into Naboo's neck, burying Naboo's head in the ground, sending dust flying across the field.
