Chapter 15 Cibaner: Patchlitz can't do anything!
Xia Chi's starting Pokémon are Incineroar and Garchomp, while Qi Bana chose Tyranitar and Dracovish as his starting Pokémon.

The old man opens a sandstorm, while the aluminum steel bridge dragon is a countermeasure against the possible appearance of Sylveon.

A very solid start.

But Xia Chi is very cunning; he wouldn't reveal Xianbu so easily.

He clearly understood that the deterrent effect of placing Xianbu in the back row was far greater than that of starting him.

The battle has officially begun.

With a flash of lights, the Tiger God makes his appearance.

The intimidating aura emanated naturally, and the attacking Old Ban and Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon, who had just entered the fray, were immediately deterred.

The Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon is alright; it mainly relies on its special attack moves.

The impact on Tyranitar was significant; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that its attack power dropped by a whole level.

At the same time, Tyranitar's [Sandstorm] ability activated, instantly creating a sandstorm across the field.

Cibana's lineup appears disorganized.

In reality, the Aluminosibridged Dragonfly, Desert Dragonfly, and even the Kommo-o with the [dustproof] property can all ignore the effects of sandstorms.

"Incineroar, use Fake Out on Tyranitar! Garchomp, come back!"

After the match began, Xia Chi quickly issued an instruction that baffled all the spectators.

Why recall Garchomp right at the start of the game?
What is this operation?
The situation on the field immediately explained Xia Chi's actions.

Tiger God struck swiftly, slapping Tyranitar across the face as he was about to unleash a rockfall.

The purple energy flames emanating from the mouth of the aluminum-steel bridge dragon also indicate that it is about to use a move—Meteor Shower!

Unfortunately, Xia Chi foresaw all of this.

Garchomp, which was countered, was eliminated.

Sylveon, thanks to its Fairy-type immunity to Dragon-type moves, survived the terrifying move that was meant to severely damage Garchomp without taking any damage!
Xia Chi said with lingering fear, "Tsk, as expected, reading me caused an earthquake. Hakina, you're really cunning!"

Meanwhile, inside a villa in Quanjuku City, Galilee region.

The dark-skinned physical education student, who was lying on the sofa staring at the game screen on the TV, clicked his tongue softly.

"Tsk, Qi Shu not only changed his team composition, but also his brain?"

The regions of Galar and Padiya are geographically close and have frequent exchanges of people.

In addition, both Qishu and Qibana are gym leaders and big internet celebrities, and they are very close.

No one will take such a harmless joke too seriously.

At that moment, the sentiment in the chat room was indeed in that direction.

Most of them were joking and teasing Qishu, while a small number reminded the opposing team that it was actually Qishu who was sweeping up the anti-smurfing streamers. In a way, they really did change their minds.

Even with so many comments, no one could have predicted it.

In a few minutes, the relaxed and carefree atmosphere in Cibana will be completely over.

------

In a student apartment at a university in the Donghuang area of ​​Shanghai.

The person who was boosting the account quickly explained: "The game here is that if Qibana is on the first floor, he will let Duraludon try to use Meteor Shower, a high-power super move, to suppress Garchomp."

"With Baneling Rock Slide, it's quite possible that it could cripple my main damage dealer, Garchomp, right at the start of the game."

"My solution is very simple: just rotate the equipment with Fairy Cloth."

"But if Zibana reads this layer and uses a restrained Cannon, then the newly entered Sylveon will suffer a devastating blow."

"But if I read the layer that Qibana read, then I'll let Garchomp use Earthquake. It can take a weak Cannon from you, and then Earthquake will shake two Pokémon that are weak to Ground. It's a huge win!"

"But if Zibana reads again and again" Well, actually there aren't that many twists and turns, it's just that Zibana can't withstand Garchomp's STAB earthquake.

It's better to let Aluminum Bridge Dragon suffer the side effect of "significantly reducing Special Attack after using Meteor Shower" than to force Garchomp out of the battle and prevent it from using Earthquake.

Of course, if Xia Chi stubbornly refuses to change, that would be better for Qi Bana.

"Unfortunately, I am still one step ahead!"

Xia Chi chuckled, "Incineroar, use Throw a Taunt on Tyranitar! Sylveon, Hyper Voice!"

While Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon and Tyranitar aren't pseudo-legendary Pokémon known for their speed, they're still a bit stronger than Incineroar and Sylveon, who are basically crippled at level two.

Before Xia Chi could unleash her attacks, Aluminum Bridge Dragon's Beam Cannon and Tyranitar's Rock Slide had already landed.

Their target is Sylveon, who poses a threat to the entire Chibana team!

Logically speaking, Sylveon, with its relatively average physical defense and durability, would have a hard time withstanding the combined attack of two pseudo-legendary characters.

Even though all the Pokémon in the game "Champion's Road" have significantly more HP than those in the previous game, this is still the case.

But after being intimidated by Incineroar and subjected to the self-inflicted special attack of Aluminum Bridge Dragon's Meteor Shower, Sylveon managed to hold on.

Then came a loud retaliatory roar.

Xia Chi's Sylveon has the ability [Fairy Skin], which can transform Normal-type moves like [Gross] into Fairy-type moves.

Its power can be increased by 20%!

However, both of these massive beasts have incredibly high durability, not to mention that the Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon also has a Steel type for added defense.

Therefore, under the impact of the loud noise, the health of the two countered Pokémon only dropped by a small fraction.

Xia Chi shook his head and sighed regretfully.

That's the magic of numbers.

At the same time, the Blazing Roaring Tiger also began its operation.

Two or three days before the match, Xia Chi replaced [Rapid Turnback] with the more sinister [Throwing Down Harsh Words], and it proved to be very effective.

After swearing a bunch of nonsense, Tiger God left his teacher a parting gift that reduced both of his attack stats by one, and successfully returned to his Poké Ball.

The one that came on as a replacement was none other than Xia Chi's last Pokémon from the reserve pool—

Patchlitz!

------

Galar region, Quanguan City.

Seeing Pachirisu pop out of the Poké Ball on the TV screen, Chibana was so shocked that he spat out the cola he had just taken a sip of.

"She really slept with Patchlitz? Does she look down on me that much?"

The excessively loud noise caused the aluminum-steel bridge dragon and the desert dragonfly, who were sleeping and resting in the yard, to look at each other in bewilderment.

Having followed Qibana for over a decade, I can't recall ever seeing him shout and yell like that while playing games.

However, Cibana quickly calmed down in the living room.

Rather than fight for a steamed bun, it's all about pride. After being so "humiliated" by "Qishu" in the first match of today's live stream, the fiercely competitive Qibana is determined to win this game.

In a disadvantageous situation, the arrogance of the "strange tree" actually presents a good opportunity to turn the tide.

Cibana stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "What can Patchlitz do? Patchlitz can't do anything!"

He decided to ignore Pachirisu, whose purpose was unknown, and deal with the severely injured Sylveon first.

"Target: Sylveon, Aghanim's Sceptile, Beam Cannon, Tyranitar, Rock Slide!"
