Azure Star is also a Pokémon Master!

"In a sense, this characteristic is about the absorption and reuse of attribute energy. Of course, we still need to study how this characteristic works in detail, and it may bring you and me some surprises."

"Alright, I'll leave the scratching bird in your care for now, Doctor." Su Yi used the machine to send the scratching bird over.

"Don't worry." Professor Oak activated the Capture Ball: "Come out, Scintillans."

"Gah?" The scratching bird exclaimed in surprise upon appearing in the unfamiliar environment.

Su Yi shouted through the video call: "Scratching bird."

"Gah?!" The bird scurried closer to the screen, looking at Su Yi in surprise.

"You can work with Professor Oak for a while and help him with some research."

Su Yi then said to Professor Oak, "This guy is picky about food; he only likes to eat."

Professor Oak chuckled, "Eggs, right? I remember what you said the other day. Don't worry, there's plenty of food."

I never expected that Professor Oak would remember all the characteristics and habits of his Palicoes after just a casual chat with him that day. He truly deserves to be called a Pokémon Professor.

Upon hearing Professor Oak say that there would be plenty of food, the Scratcher, which was still a little unaccustomed to being away from Su Yi, immediately agreed with a cackle.

"You little rascal," Su Yi said with a helpless smile.

It's fortunate that Scream has this kind of personality; otherwise, if Professor Oak lent him other Palicoes, he would have worried that they might harm him.

"Scratching bird, don't be naughty. Professor Oak's research and equipment are very valuable," Su Yi specifically instructed.

"Caw~" The scratching bird nodded in agreement.

Then, Su Yi teleported the single sword sheath over.

"Single Sword Sheath, you'd better cooperate with the research, it might just solve your problem."

"Clang~" The single-edged sword sheath shook its blade. Although it was a little reluctant, the thought of being able to repair itself and then help Su Yi made it firm again.

"Then let's not delay, Su Yi. We'll start the research here, and I'll call you when we have the results." Professor Oak waved his hand.

Su Yi nodded and said solemnly, "I'm counting on you, Professor Oak."

"Wow, those two Pokémon are so peculiar! One is so tall, and the other is a sword," Ash exclaimed with curiosity.

"But Brother Su Yi, you teleported away two Pokémon. Do you still have enough Pokémon for gym battles? Petalburg Gym is a 3v3 battle, you know," Xiao Sheng reminded him.

Su Yi pulled six balls out of his pocket and laughed, "A battle between all of us is not a problem."

"Wow! Brother Su Yi has so many Pokémon?" May exclaimed in surprise.

"Not that many," Su Yi said, putting the ball back in his pocket.

Ash's group of Tauros is a number that many people can't match, and it's all thanks to Professor Oak's help in raising them.

I apologize for the past two days. I didn't finish it after working overtime that day, so I continued working on it the next day and took a day off on Saturday.

Chapter 155 Tactical Breakthrough, Clean and Decisive

The next morning, Su Yi arrived at the Orange Blossom Gym as promised.

Ash and May's family were already waiting there.

"You've arrived." Mr. Qianli stood calmly at one end of the battlefield.

Outside the arena, an apprentice named Kenji acted as referee, signaling Su Yi to enter the arena.

"Let's begin." Su Yi took out a Poké Ball.

"Go for it, Dad!" Xiao Sheng shouted, his eyes filled with admiration and confidence for Qianli.

What kind of Pokémon will Brother Su Yi send out?

"Pica~"

Ash, holding Pikachu, gazed expectantly at the field.

"Next up is Su Yi from the Galar region to challenge the Gym! The rules are as follows..." Kenji explained in detail responsibly.

Su Yi was taken aback before realizing that his identity information had been arranged by President Loz at Dan Di's request, so on the surface, Su Yi's identity belonged to Galar.

"Mr. Su Yi, judging from the information, it seems to be your first time challenging a dojo. Did you understand all the rules?" Kenji asked.

Before challenging a gym, trainers must register. This serves two purposes: to record the results of the challenge and to show the gym leader their resume, so that the gym leader can test the trainer at an appropriate level.

“It couldn’t be clearer,” Su Yi said with a smile.

Kenji nodded, waved his hand, and shouted, "Then, let the challenge begin!"

As the gym leader, Senri threw out a Poké Ball first and shouted, "Come out, Slaking!"

"Mach~" A sleepy-eyed sloth-shaped Pokémon wobbled onto the field.

"Just as I expected," Su Yi thought to himself.

The Pokémon in the Senri series are Slaking and its evolved forms, and because of the habits of this series of Pokémon, these three Pokémon will exhibit different fighting styles.

"The starting lineup is yours now, Xiong apprentice!" Su Yi said.

"Bera!" The determined-looking Pokémon bear appeared on the field with a powerful shout.

"What an adorable Pokémon bear!" May exclaimed happily.

Although Xiong's apprentice was short in stature, he had a serious expression and was fully prepared, appearing very energetic.

It stands in stark contrast to the lazy old man.

"So it really isn't a Pokémon from the Hoenn region?" Senri said.

This means that the attributes, characteristics, and moves are unknown.

Qianli knew nothing about Xiong Tudi, while Su Yi knew everything about Qianli's Pokémon.

Qianli stretched out his hand and said, "Make your move."

Su Yi thought to himself: "Using stillness to control movement? Then I'll play along!"

"Apprentice Xiong, charge!"

"Bah!" The bear apprentice nimbly rushed towards Lazy Old Man, who still looked sleepy and unsteady.

Just as Qianli was pondering what move to use to probe after the Lazy Old Man dodged the Bear Apprentice's attack...

"Stop!" Su Yi ordered swiftly.

The bear apprentice, who had rushed up to Lazy Old Man, immediately stopped.

"What!?" Qianli was completely baffled.

Just as he was about to dodge the attack, Lazy Old Man swayed and almost lost his balance.

"Split the tiles!" Su Yi gave the order again.

"Beep!" Taking advantage of the feint, Xiong's apprentice delivered a chop to the unsuspecting Lazy Old Man.

"Ouch!" Lazy Old Man cried out in pain as he was knocked down heavily.

"What? Dad's Pokémon only met him once..." Xiaosheng looked surprised.

"Oh dear, it seems that Chisato's tactics have been seen through," Mitsuko exclaimed in surprise.

"What tactics?" Xiaoyao was completely confused. The game had just started, how could she possibly know what tactics were involved?

"Tch..." Sloth gritted his teeth and stood up. The Fighting-type move, coupled with the fact that he hadn't had time to prepare, caused him great damage.

"Beep!" The bear apprentice assumed a fighting stance, gaining the advantage but showing no arrogance, instead remaining vigilant and ready for battle.

"Was it a coincidence, or did they learn my tactics?" Qianli frowned.

The Pokémon Slacker, just like its name suggests, is wobbly, lazy, and looks like it hasn't woken up yet.

Based on the Lazy Old Man's habits, Qianli devised a tactic that suited it: using the Lazy Old Man's appearance to confuse the opponent.

When attacked by the enemy, the lazy old man will dodge with his swaying, unpredictable movements, and then immediately launch an attack, which is called using stillness to control movement.

This fighting style has a feel similar to Drunken Fist.

Seeing Su Yi's confident demeanor, Qianli was certain that Su Yi either understood the Lazybones's habits and was wary of its actions, or he learned about its tactics from other challengers or some other means.

"Not sure, let's try again."

"You've raised this Pokémon very well," Qianli praised, without taking the initiative to attack.

“It’s thanks to Master Ma’s excellent training,” Su Yi said with a smile, also refraining from taking the initiative to attack.

"Not take the initiative to attack?" Qianli secretly had a headache. Wasn't this equivalent to sealing off his tactics?

"Then I'll take the initiative and attack."

After a moment of deep thought, he commanded, "Lazybones, Shadow Ball!"

"Cut!" Lazy Old Man quickly gathered a dark purple energy ball and threw it at his bear apprentice.

"Get out of the way, then charge!"

"Beep!" The bear apprentice started running, dodging the shadow ball, and continued charging towards the lazy old man.

“Here it comes…” Qianli did not immediately order another attack, but waited for Su Yi’s attack.

"Split the tile!" Su Yi did as he wished.

"Get out of the way! Shadow Ball!" Qianli shouted, finally using his tactic!

"Cut!" Lazybones swayed and easily dodged Bear Apprentice's Brick Break, then immediately gathered Shadow Balls and launched them at close range.

The apprentice clearly didn't have time to dodge, but he had a calm expression on his face, obviously trusting Su Yi's command.

"I saw through it," Su Yi said, his expression unchanged.

"Beep!" A glint flashed in the bear apprentice's eyes as he dodged the shadow ball with a difficult maneuver.

"Oh no!" Qianli exclaimed in alarm.

"Close combat!" Su Yi waved his hand.

The bear apprentice lunged forward, relentlessly attacking Lazy Old Man with his fists, feet, and even his body.

Now, Qianli's evasive counterattack tactics were turned against him by Su Yi, who used them against him.

"Tch!" The lazy old man was forced to retreat repeatedly, and was finally knocked away by the final blow in close combat, landing on the ground and losing his ability to fight.
