My anime-style card deck is fine!

Attacking Apokolips will result in a [Double Strike], and any items that Apokolips tries to find will be blocked by [Quick Guard].

If you find the target item before the Twin-Tailed Beast, it will be [switched].

If you try to interfere with it using special effects, your Twintail will be blocked by [Taunt] first.

The result is that we'll have to wait until the assessment is over.

Not to mention King Kong, even the gardener watching from the sidelines was stunned and had no intention of continuing the challenge.

"You never intended for anyone to get through this part of the cave, did you?"

Wu Shanyu watched the whole thing and couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

She finally understood that the so-called liveliness meant letting Amon liven things up by himself—the liveliness and happiness were his own and had nothing to do with anyone else!

"how could be?"

Amon grinned and said, "There are still many ways to pass the level."

Chapter 137: The Real Purpose of Blank Cards!

Of course, the levels designed by Amon are not unsolvable.

In fact, in this diverse world of card players, you never know what strange and unusual cards your opponent will pull out of their hand and then give you a huge scare.

Those who consider themselves invincible are the most likely to stumble.

Even a Gold-level card player, if they have a perfect starting hand, could still lose to a Bronze-level card player.

therefore……

"The first few levels are just the beginning; the real challenge is yet to come."

Physical attacks like Pouncing, special attacks like Blizzard... the special effects of Toxic Spikes, the special ability of Soundproofing... the type boost from Iron Defense, the special victory method of End Song... and all sorts of Pokémon abilities and a wide variety of Pokémon equipment...

Even the difference between multiple Pokémon and a single Pokémon!

Amon demonstrated all the abilities his Pokémon possessed through four stages. Once the candidates passed these four stages, they would basically have a basic understanding of Pokémon!

Yes, Amon did it on purpose.

Having grown tired of the Angry Birds deck, and already satisfied with the Hungry Zombie and Crazy Plants decks, Amon has a very high interest in the Pokémon deck!

Even if Amon stops using pure Pokémon decks in the future, he will still carry a few Pokémon cards with him in his decks.

Therefore, Amon had no choice but to take it seriously.

As a result, Amon has to face a problem – the 'flaw' of Pokémon decks!

What are the strengths and weaknesses of Pokémon?

Amon was well aware that while individual Pokémon cards were powerful, the lack of revival abilities and the ability to recycle banished cards resulted in insufficient deck sustainability.

Furthermore, due to the limited number of moves a Pokémon can use, while Pokémon possess many moves, the durability of the Pokémon cards themselves is not high.

Once someone discovers a Pokémon's weakness, there are many ways to deal with the Pokémon on the field.

Besides that, Pokémon has one major flaw!

That is……

【many】!

Yes, a lot!

There are just too many Pokémon-related cards. In just half a day, Amon had accumulated over a thousand cards in his hand. The sheer size and complexity of the system forced Amon to select six followers and other support cards from the deck to create a deck...

That's incredibly simple!

But then what?

How can a deck assembled so haphazardly be made to truly unleash its full potential? Or is this perhaps the optimal solution for those thousand-plus Pokémon cards?

Ammon is not a god, so of course he is unknown to us.

But since the problem has been raised, there must be a solution, and the solution is quite obvious—

Real combat, of course!

Since I can't figure out the problem by myself, let's all work together!

True knowledge comes from practice!

Amon needs a stage that can help him complete his deck, and that stage needs to be strong enough!

Because what you need to gain enough practical experience is not the ordinary so-called real battles—but a real, intense duel between decks!

Only a duel of this magnitude can fully reveal the weaknesses and strengths of a Pokémon deck!

So, it's quite obvious...

There is no better testing ground for the national college entrance examination than this!

Hiding their true intentions and relying on the unpredictability and hidden effects of Pokémon card decks to give the challengers a surprise kill on their first encounter?

Totally unnecessary!

That kind of thing has absolutely no value other than providing amusement for oneself.

Rather, this is almost the complete opposite of Amon's purpose—on the contrary, Amon wanted to openly display his Pokémon and then use this highest national high school exam to refine his deck!

As for what to do if we lose?

Of course, we should pick up our own deck and fight back!

These 80-100 levels are designed to be a fiercely competitive arena for all candidates who reach this point, a battlefield for elites and geniuses!

The first candidates design the exam questions, and the later candidates devise strategies to answer them!

Those who succeed will replace the pioneers, rearrange the questions, and then pass the strategies to those who follow...

And so it goes!

This is the actual test content designed for this part of the level!

The reason why Amon alone occupied all the levels is simply because Amon had so many cards that he managed to put together seventeen decks!

As a result, he managed to fill all the blank levels, effectively turning himself into the question setter.

However, this does not mean that Amon is not a test taker.

Rather, Amon was actually looking forward to it, hoping that someone could successfully conquer the levels he had set up, so that he could gain experience and make up for the shortcomings of his deck.

Amon never refuses to fail.

Because failure makes me stronger!

"I used up all my blank cards and silver semi-finished cards to design this level." On the big screen, King Kong and the gardener, after failing the challenge, had no choice but to leave and push open the door to level 84.

Leaning against Arcanine's warm fur, Tuamon looked on with anticipation: "Let's get ready for a real Pokémon battle!"

……

Real Pokémon battles!

King Kong and the gardener, of course, couldn't hear Amon's expectant murmurs.

However, they also gained a general understanding of what a real Pokémon battle is all about.

because……

When they pushed open the door to level 84 and walked in, they found themselves in a duel arena that looked well-organized but whose specific purpose was unclear.

The field was divided by white lines into a duel arena about the size of two basketball courts, covered with green grass.

There is a step before entering, and a platform is on top of it.

On the opposite side, there was a similar platform, where a green-haired girl with twin ponytails and flowers in her hair, holding a Poké Ball, was smiling brightly and sunnyly.

Upon seeing the two, they raised their hands and greeted them in a very friendly manner.

"Alolan~!"

"?"

Kong was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "Ah, Alola?"

"Idiot, that's just a servant." The gardener glanced at him speechlessly, then walked up the steps and climbed onto the platform first.

"What happened to the attendants?"

Before King Kong could finish speaking, he saw this scene and immediately became anxious: "Hey, hey, hey, why did you go up first!"

"You went first in the last round, so it's my turn this time." The gardener seemed quite self-righteous, since there was no rule about who went first or last, so of course it was a matter of who came first!

"Alright." King Kong quieted down upon seeing this, noticed a bench below the platform, and sat down.

It's quite thoughtful to have a place to rest!

"You're the challenger, you rude old man!" Across from her, a girl with green twin ponytails stood with her hands on her hips, her smile undiminished despite her displeasure.

That overly clear and vibrant smile made the gardener a little embarrassed.

"Feel sorry."

The gardener said instinctively, then realized what he meant.

Why should I apologize to a follower?

"Then I forgive you!" However, the green twin-tailed girl on the other side smiled even more brightly, happily accepting the apology and swaying energetically on the platform opposite.

He began his energetic self-introduction: "Well then, let me introduce myself first!"

"I am the Pokémon Trainer stationed at this checkpoint... That being said, I am actually still just a student, but since I have been given this responsibility, I will do my best!"

"I am Mallow, the Grass-type Pokémon Trainer from the Alola region. Nice to meet you!"

The energy and vitality of that self-introduction were so vivid that even the gardener couldn't immediately tell whether the other person was a follower or a card master.

But she quickly came to her senses.

Amazed, I couldn't help but be amazed. Such a spirit, such intelligence, almost indistinguishable from a real person—this card-making technology is simply extraordinary!
