Chapter 194 What does it mean that Mud defeated four Martial Arts Bear Masters in a 1v4 battle? (5.4k views, 914 average subscriptions)
Meanwhile, in the Galar region, on the Isle of Armor.

Inside the martial arts hall, looking at the battle log on the screen, Dan Di fell silent for a moment.

What kind of weird tactics are these?
Although he is the Galar Champion, he is still one of the strongest active champions.

However, Leon's understanding of these bizarre and niche underworld tactics in the game is not necessarily deeper than that of ordinary trainers.

At most, their ability to accept and adapt will be stronger.

As I said before, in real combat, brute force overcomes skill.

No matter how small you get, Grimer, you still have a guaranteed hit attack move, right?

Are you underestimating the depth of a champion's move pool?

However, the game's four-move limit left Leon somewhat constrained.

His sharp combat instincts immediately detected the danger; without a specific countermeasure, it seemed quite difficult to handle.
"Xia Chi's thought process is truly unpredictable!"

Mastedt smiled and shook his head, then commanded, "Use scale noise on the flamingo!"

Dan Di immediately realized what was happening and said, "Use the wooden mallet on the Entangling Red Crane!"

It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to injure ten of them.

While the [unpredictable] Muk is a greater threat, that's precisely why its teammates need to be dealt with first.

The reason is simple: Mud is tankier, and as you fight it, you might find that its physical defense has increased significantly.

At that point, it will use a [gas bomb] or [highly toxic], and then rely on [holding out] and "leftovers" to hold out, making it even more difficult to advance or retreat.

Although the master and apprentice did not communicate, they tacitly chose the optimal solution for that moment.

I've taken care of your teammates, and you think you can take on four sharks and win?
At the command, Kommo-o and the Thunder King Kong charged heavily toward the newly appeared Flamingo.

As if anticipating Mastedt and Dante's thoughts, Xia Chi confidently and boldly let Alola Muk use [Poison] on Rumble Golem.

Poison-type Pokémon will always hit with [Poison], even if you temporarily escape the battlefield using Dig.

The deadly poison struck the Thunder King Kong, who was brutally beating the scorching flamingo, without any doubt.

Qishu's Entangling Flamingo then countered with a [Brave Bird Attack] against the Thunder King Kong!

Just as master and apprentice Ma Shide and Dan Di had a tacit understanding, so too did she and Xia Chi, good friends.

Everyone knows that a martial arts bear master is hiding behind the staff-tailed armored dragon.

If you focus your attacks on taking down the dragon first, then you've truly "successfully started the second phase of the boss battle."

The three elves instantly engaged in a chaotic battle.

Perhaps it's just bad luck for Qishu. Despite having a level 4 evasion boost, a full 57% evasion rate!

I couldn't dodge either of the attacks, [Wooden Hammer] or [Scale Noise]!

Furthermore, because the speed of the Staff-tailed Kommo-o is relatively fast, the [Scale Noise] that hits first also triggers the effect of "reducing the opponent's defense by one level".

A subsequent [wooden mallet] strike caused even more damage to him.

In other words, the Flying-type Flamingo is used to defend against Grass-type attacks; otherwise, the second Pokémon from the Strange Tree would be instantly defeated.

------

"No, is this evasion rate actually real?"

Qi Shu's exasperated voice came through the headset.

The live chat was filled with gloating comments like "hahahahahaha".

As for the entertainment value of the show, it's simply about someone getting unlucky so the audience can have some fun.

As for whether it's Ma Shide and Dan Di, or Qi Shu and Xia Chi who are unlucky, it doesn't matter.

Xia Chi was also somewhat speechless.

From a probabilistic point of view, the chance of hitting twice in a row is indeed less than one in four, which is somewhat subtle.

You could say it's low, but it's not low either.

But you say it's high?

How can those who have an 80% hit rate but miss three consecutive water cannon shots feel so bad?

Does this mean that champion trainers get a super luck boost just by playing a game?
Seeing that Muddy's [Unsettled Mood] had already triggered the "Physical Defense +2, Speed ​​-1" ability change.

Xia Chi comforted her, "Let Yu Qi rest for now and try to hold on a little longer. It might take me a while to take over the game."

Then he commanded, "Muck, use [Poison] on Kommo-o!"

He is not afraid that his opponents will suddenly turn their attacks on Muddy.

With the flamingo's high evasion rate, it's a formidable opponent once again after two perches.

Masde and Dante cannot simply stand idly by.

Even if he really went crazy and suddenly attacked Mud, Mud's newly boosted physical defense is waiting for him.

Xia Chi also thought it would be easier to fight this way.

Qi Shu gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! Yu Xi!"

The speed of the Entangling Flamingo surpasses that of the Thunderous Ape; it only needs to withstand the [scale noise] of the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon.
Level 4 evasion rate boost, unleash your power!!!
As the scales struck with a loud thud, the feathered hue faded, and the slender legs of the flamingo fell to its knees.

The light in Qishu's eyes vanished instantly.

[Hahaha, three hits out of three, 100% accuracy!]

[Morphodon: Hey, why aren't you dodging?]

[Actually, it's a display bug. The Flamingo that Teacher Qishu brought doesn't have the hidden ability [Synergy], but rather the standard ability [Courage].]

[The most entertaining episode ever!]

Isn't this just a reverse bubble triple miss?

[This is bad, two Pokémon are instantly killed, it's 2v4, how are we supposed to play?]

[The tide has turned; the undefeated champion coach and his apprentice in Galar are simply too overpowered.]

Xia Chi was equally helpless.

He never expected that the Red Crane was so useless, failing to dodge even once!

Even if I miss just once, Yuqi can bring me back to life!

He glanced at the Alola Muk's [Unsettled Mood] ability, which had just been triggered, granting it +2 to Attack and -1 to Special Attack.

Fortunately, his ability improvement was quite good, otherwise Xia Chi really wouldn't know how to fight.

"There's still one Alakazam. Hold on, we can turn this around!"

He first stabilized the Dao heart of the strange tree.

This update also optimized duo queue.

When two of one player's Pokémon fall first, but the teammate still has Pokémon in the back row, the player can summon them.

"Come back, you useless thing!"

Qishu gritted his teeth and retrieved the fallen Flamingo, while the trainer's image on the screen threw out a Poké Ball.

"Go, Alakazam, use [Self-Suggestion] on Alola Muk!"

This is the final trump card: self-suggestion!
The target's enhanced capabilities are copied and adapted for one's own use!
Meanwhile, Tapu Kommo-o and Kommo-o, those two ferocious giants, didn't even bother with any pretense and charged straight over.

If we take down Alakazam, then, including the two Pokémon in the back row, we'll have a strong four-on-one situation!
Xia Chi has no chance of turning things around!
------

A radiant glow shone as Alakazam, the fastest creature on the field, was the first to copy Muk's power—

Evasion +4, Physical Attack +2, Physical Defense +2, Speed ​​-1, Special Attack -1.
Although their crucial offensive capabilities have been reduced, in the current situation, simply surviving is already a remarkable achievement.

Just after Alakazam successfully used [Self-Suggestion], the two burly Pokémon pounced on him.

The Thunder King Kong used [U-turn], while Kommo-o's move remained [Scale Noise]!

Even without a counter move, [Scale Noise], a STAB move with a power of 100 and the added effect of lowering physical defense, remains the best choice.

Of course, this is on the premise that the hit is successful.

Alakazam's ability to copy also includes dodging.

It remains the same as the Entangling Red Crane, with a 47% evasion rate.

This time, you should be able to trigger it!

Qishu stared intently at the scale noise emanating from the Scaled Dragon on the screen, which was so close to him.

The next instant, the attack struck with devastating force!

Alakazam's health bar suddenly dropped by half!
Qi Shu chuckled: "I'm not playing anymore."

Xia Chi, who had just finished making Mud shrink for the last time, comforted him, "Don't worry, you see, the guaranteed drop was hit, but the Rapid Return didn't go in."

[Shrimp and pork heart, oh my god, this is such a rip-off, offering a guaranteed minimum price is just too mean, hahaha!]

[Qi Shu's luck is really bad today, maybe he triggered the "bad luck" trait!]

Strange Tree: "."

Do you really have to say it?

With a 57% dodge rate, is it really something to be proud of to only miss once after taking four hits in a row?
Despite thinking this, Kijuu still commanded, "Alakazam, use support power on Kommo-o!"

This is why Alakazam was chosen for this lineup.

[Self-suggestion] enhances the ability to copy, and [auxiliary power] allows for burst damage by utilizing the enhanced abilities.

Interlocking and complementary, they belong to the category of [the category of things].

The good news is that although Alakazam also suffered from the "Speed ​​-1" stat reduction, it is still faster than both of its opponent's Pokémon.

This [Support Power] attack, with a terrifying 180 damage, almost instantly killed Kommo-o, which is doubly weak to Psychic-type moves!
The pseudo-legendary Pokémon has high durability, and Alakazam's copy of the "Special Attack -1" ability reduces its effectiveness.

Otherwise, it's quite possible to achieve the feat of selling out in seconds.

The bad news is that, unsurprisingly, after the last guaranteed pull, Alakazam once again failed to trigger Kommo-o'Scaly Noise.
Qishu had completely lost the will to speak.

She slumped in the chair, staring blankly at the screen, looking utterly dejected, as if her body had been completely drained.

Xia Chi, who had just finished directing Muk to use [Knock Off] to end the evil life of the dragon, comforted them: "The good news is that they were also worried about not being able to kill Alakazam. Rumble didn't hit my Muk and quickly turned back, missing its target."

Qishu felt like he'd been stabbed again: "."

The implication behind these words is so much like, "Everyone has high hopes for you, but you're the one who's most disappointing!"

"I'm sorry, I gave away all three Pokémon."

Qi Shu suddenly felt very sad. An ordinary game was one thing, but this was a match against the legendary champion master and apprentice duo of Galar. He had dragged Xia Chi down again.
"It's alright, it's alright, it was my strategy to start this."

Xia Chi said, "Besides, the hit rate is a bit of a mystery; they were just lucky."

"Muk, use Knock Down on Gorilla!"

After taking a moment to give some pointers, Xia Chi confidently told Qi Shu, "Don't worry, this game is in the bag. Watch me turn it around!"

An expression of disbelief appeared in Qi Shu's eyes.

Even if she trusted Xia Chi, 1v4 was not right. Even if she had just killed the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon, it would still count as 1v3.

Muk is still facing a nearly full-strength Rillaboom, Urshifu, and a powerful lineup in the back row that might be Dragapult or Charizard!
Not to mention that their opponents are Masdeh and Dante!
Can Xia Chi really turn the tide?

[The prisoner has lost all sense of reason in his pursuit of women and showing off; is this even possible?]

[Bro, you think this is just another casual game of stomping in the academy tournament? Do you think Mastedt and Dante will let you win?]

Even including the Kommo-o-Tsurugi that just fell, it's 1v4! If you can turn the tables, I'll immediately unleash a five-speed electric fan!

Obviously, the idea of ​​1v4 is too outrageous, and not a single person in the dense barrage of comments believes that Xia Chi can really do it!

Xia Chi glanced at the status bar of Muddy on the side of the screen.

[Props: Leftovers]

[Stat Boosts: Evasion +6, Physical Attack +4, Physical Defense +2, Special Attack -2, Special Defense -1, Speed ​​+1]

It's safe to say that the anxiety has completely burned out!

None of the enhanced abilities are useless, and with the addition of six layers of evasion, the evasion rate is a full 67%!

With proper execution, a 1v3 comeback is not impossible!
Just then, Kommo-o, which had been slapped down and crippled by Muk, was retracted into the ball.

Xia Chi commanded, "Use Poison on the location of the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon!"

Martial Arts Master Xiong is about to take the stage.

Whether we win or lose depends on this next minute!
------

at the same time.

Galarian region, Isle of Armor, inside Master Ma's martial arts school.

Dan Di's emotions had relaxed by now.

Like most people, he didn't believe that this Mud could take on three opponents at once.

Even Dan Di felt a little regretful at this moment.

Unfortunately, Kiju was incredibly unlucky, hitting his target every time. If he could have played a little longer, he would have been able to experience the charm of this tactic more fully.

Although this tactic is not very useful in real-world battles, it is quite fun in the game.

Dan Di was even thinking about using this strategy to duo queue with his master later.

"Turn back quickly!"

Bringing himself back to reality, Emperor Dan issued the order.

Although he was much more relaxed, Heidan still took the match seriously.

The [Poisonous] status caused the Thunder King Kong's health to drop faster and faster, and even with the [Grassy Ground] to restore it, it was not enough to withstand the damage.

Returning to the Poké Ball not only resets the [Toxic] damage, but also reopens the grassland that is about to end.

Meanwhile, Martial Arts Master Xiong finally made his appearance amidst much anticipation!

"Sword Dance!"

Upon his arrival, Ma Shide immediately instructed the Martial Arts Bear Master to strengthen himself!

He knew very well that launching a rash attack would give Xia Chi an opportunity.

Given Muk's high evasion, if you can't defeat it in just two or three moves, it's very likely that it will survive on leftovers.

While [Unstable Mood] might increase physical defense, the probability is only one in five.

If Xia Chi is unlucky, after Martial Arts Bear Master performs his three sword dances, Muk might still be in the +2 physical defense buff state.

Just as Urshifu, fresh from its Poké Ball, was about to use Swords Dance, a dark purple ball of energy suddenly appeared on its surface.

Extremely poisonous!

Masde frowned slightly.

Both of Leon's Pokémon are still alive. If the damage from the poison increases to a certain extent, he can simply switch Pokémon to reset their status.

However, Martial Arts Bear Master has no back-row Pokémon to exchange.

Tsk. That's definitely a threat.

Masde looked to the other side of the screen.

The Thunder King Kong was using [U-turn] to charge at the shrunk-up Mud.

However, it missed!
The result was not unexpected. If a 33% chance of success could guarantee a perfect hit, then the [Shrink] move could really be removed from the Pokédex.

Emperor Dan also frowned.

We can't delay any longer. Right now, the [Poison] is making the Thunder King Kong's health drop by bar. If Muk's [Slap] comes at this moment...
Startled, Dan shouted, "Come back, Thunder King Kong! Dralongaru, come out!"

The red and white light alternated, and the Thunder King Kong on the battlefield was quickly replaced by Dorambaruto.

Just then, another burst of highly toxic energy shot out!

So fast? !

Didn't it just use a deadly poison on Martial Arts Bear Master?

Leon looked at the status bar on the right side of the screen and was surprised to find that Muk's speed boost had reached "+3"!
My mood was so unpredictable that I sped up!
No, that's not the key point.

The key point is that Xia Chi read that I would directly replace the Thunder King Kong!
A 1v4 situation is like dancing on the edge of a knife; to find even the slightest opportunity, every move must be precisely controlled.

At least so far, he has succeeded.

Dan Di had to admit that, at least in the area of ​​online battles, Xia Chi deserved his master's praise.

His fighting spirit, which had only recently been extinguished, was reignited.

Dan Di quickly analyzed the current situation.

The Martial Arts Bear Master clearly needs to enhance [Sword Dance], and the Dragapult will inevitably begin its attack.

The four known moves of Muk are: Shrink, Toxic, Knock Off, and most likely Protect.

Both Martial Arts Bear Master and Doron are afflicted with the [Highly Poisoned] status.

However, the combo-style Urshifu has double resistance to Dark-type attacks, and the Ghost-type Dragapult is double weak to Dark-type attacks.

So my prediction is that you will use a knockdown on me!

Dan Di suddenly commanded, "Dronbalut, use Spirit Sneak Attack!"

Dorombalto was incredibly fast, disappearing from the screen in the next second.

On the other side of the screen, the lone, multicolored Muk charged toward the Martial Arts Bear Master.

Shoot it down!

Emperor Dan was stunned.

Did I misread it?
Why is it Martial Arts Bear Master instead of Duolong?
He doesn't understand.

Meanwhile, the Martial Arts Bear Master has completed his second sword dance, increasing his physical attack by 200%!

The poison has just been applied, so there's no rush.

However, with four stacks of physical attack boost, Muk's [Slam] attack does indeed deal considerable damage.

Even the Martial Arts Bear Master, with a base stat total of 650, lost nearly a third of its health.

Most importantly, they even knocked away Martial Arts Master Xiong's [Life Orb]!

Without the Life Orb's 30% attack power boost, Martial Arts Bear Master's damage will be further reduced!

"Continue, sword dance!"

Masdeh's voice remained firm.

It seems that this unexpected situation did not affect his mindset.

Emperor Dan also calmed down.

On the screen, Dragapult's Phantom Assault hit, instantly reducing Muk's health by a third!

"Continue, stealthy attack!"

Dan Di read Xia Chi's message again: [Slap] on Duolong!

The martial arts bear master's props have been photographed, now it's time to photograph me!

But Mud was still beside Martial Arts Bear Master, and it fell down again after being slapped!
The Martial Arts Bear Master's health has been reduced by another third!

Wait, didn't the item disappear? Why is the damage from the knockdown still so high?
Leon looked at Muk's status bar again—"Physical Attack +6!"
In other words, just one more knockdown will bring down the invincible martial arts master, Xiong Shi?

This result was unacceptable to Dante.

However, the Dragon in "Sneak Peek" mode couldn't affect the situation on the field at all.

Just as Mud was about to use its third slam on Martial Arts Bear, Mastedt's command rang out.

"Hold on!"

After three sword dances, Martial Arts Master Xiong finally emerged from the mountain!
The solidified transparent barrier blocked the deadly attack from the slime.

"The water flows continuously!"

Perhaps it was the last chance for Martial Arts Master Xiong to make a move, and Ma Shide chose the signature move that made him famous!

Water Stream Combo: Martial Arts Bear Master exclusive, a water-type physical move that attacks three times in succession, each time dealing 25 points of damage, and the attack is guaranteed to hit!

Kumamon has a 300% increase in physical attack, while Muk's physical defense has only increased by 100% so far.
If it hits, Muk is definitely going to die!

On the screen, Martial Arts Master Xiong made the first move, his majestic body moving with the force of a mountain, kicking at Mud with the grace of flowing water.

Then Miss!

The bright red words stung Dan Di's eyes.

He knew what this meant: Martial Arts Master Xiong was in danger!

As expected, Muk, whose speed was only slightly slower than Martial Arts Ursaring, ignored the Dralongatu attacking from behind, shook its sticky body, and used Slap again!
With the final burst of "poison," the Martial Arts Bear Master's health bar was instantly emptied!
Mud, in a desperate 1v4 situation, accomplished a god-slaying miracle!
