My anime-style card deck is fine!

Its only capability is deck destruction, and its efficiency far exceeds that of other types of deck destruction—you should know that a normal deck only has 40 cards!

An abnormal deck only has 80 cards.

Even if you don't draw a single card, with a full set of eighty cards, you can only last for five rounds—you'll die in the sixth round!

There is nothing left to say.

Seeing the two Pokémon holding up the defense on the other side, Tessen Yuuyu's lips twitched, and he trembled as he chose to concede defeat.

He had always thought that his floating city's defensive capabilities were invincible!

The result was unexpected...

They even had the trick of poisoning the city lord!

In particular, listening to Homiga across from me, as the poison intensified and the music became increasingly rousing, my body, mind, soul... even my cochlea were all being cleansed by the toxins.

Tieshan Youyou returned to level 80 in a daze.

"...That's what happened."

Tieshan Youyou felt utterly exhausted just from repeating the story.

Listening to his story, King Kong, the gardener, and the others exchanged glances, and then King Kong coughed lightly: "Actually, we don't necessarily have to try them all, right?"

"When one's strength is exhausted, one can only succeed by focusing on one's goal," the paleontologist said solemnly.

"Yes, this is the ultimate exam, and the goal of the test is, of course, points!" the gardener said solemnly. "I suggest we challenge Rainbow Bean or Kazumire first, and leave Homiga for now..."

"Wait, what's wrong with Miss Kazumire?!"

Deep Blue Mechanic frowned: "Miss Kazumire's strength is not to be underestimated either. Are you implying that Miss Kazumire is easy to bully?"

“That’s not what I meant.” The gardener shrugged. “It’s just that compared to Miss Lurina, Kazmir’s dominance is insufficient.”

"This is a fact!"

The two started arguing amongst themselves, while King Kong and the paleontologist chimed in.

These guys are trying to change the subject!

Tieshan Youyou was stunned for a moment before he realized what was going on: "You guys, didn't you just say you were going to challenge Homiga?!"

"Ahem, that Youyou~"

King Kong put on a forced smile, intending to renege on his promise.

"Too late!" Tie Shan Youyou knew the nature of these guys, so he immediately grabbed Jin Gang, his face contorted with rage: "None of you will escape the suffering I've endured!!"

Chapter 151: The Bond Between Pokémon and Trainers!

The group played around for a while.

After confirming that no new members had arrived, they decided to continue testing the other challenges set up by Amon. However, after such a frustrating experience, they decided to complete the challenges first and then return to explain the situation.

"Of course, if someone has a shorter time to complete a level, they can try a level that someone else is handling first," Tieshan Youyou recommended. "For example, level 97 is pretty good."

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to his promotion.

After the five people said their goodbyes, the door to level 80, which had quieted down, was opened once again.

Two teenagers walked in.

The boy who entered first wore a red hat, while the boy who followed him in appeared somewhat unkempt.

His messy hair covered his eyes, and he wore a simple white shirt and work pants, with traces of various paints on the hem and cuffs.

"Phew~ I finally beat the game. Those dragons were so annoying."

The boy in the red hat who was the first to walk in rubbed his neck and looked around. Then he saw the Steel Crow across from him. Just as he was about to say something, two more doors opened next door.

Two girls walked in.

One of the girls was tall, with a high ponytail and red-rimmed glasses.

She has a serious demeanor, just like a student council member.

The other girl, on the other hand, looked completely different. She was covered by a huge magic hat and floated lazily in a blue bubble, being led by the girl in front of her and slowly drifting behind.

"Oh my, we were in the same cohort."

The young man at the head of the group waved and greeted them, "Isn't this Jiaying and Paopao? What a coincidence!"

"The world is different for me."

The girl called Jiaying frowned and took a step back: "You, don't come any closer to me!"

"Huh~? What does it matter..." The boy in the red hat seemed completely unconcerned, casually taking a few steps forward while removing his hat, and the moment the hat was off...

What was revealed was a face exactly like the girl in front of him.

They even wore the same pair of red-rimmed glasses!

The boy (?) parted his lips slightly, a wicked glint in his eyes, and spoke in a voice exactly like Jia Ying's: "Aren't we exactly the same?"

Hard!

Jia Ying felt her fist harden!

Meanwhile, the girl in the magic hat floating in the bubble pushed aside her magic hat and coldly stared at Shirenwo: "Change back, or let's duel!"

"Tsk, so easily amused." I shook my head, but before I knew it, I had reverted to my original form.

It was a very ordinary face.

He was so ordinary that you could see the likeness of almost everyone in him, but after he put on the red hat, you couldn't see his face anymore, but you just felt that this was definitely him!

“…There won’t be a next time.” Jia Ying snorted coldly before following him through the door.

The door behind him closed.

However, none of the people present seemed to care much, while Jia Ying looked at the boy who had come in with Shi Lingwo and nodded: "Long time no see, painter."

"..."

The boy, who was called a painter, suddenly came to his senses and slowly turned his head: "...Ah, hello."

That being said, the painter was thinking...

Who is this person? Do I know him?

"Let's skip the reminiscing, it's not like we haven't seen each other for a long time." The girl floating in the bubble said, "This level... no, I should say from this level to the 100th level, they are all very interesting."

"Instead of chatting, why don't we take a look at the challenge rules first?"

Upon hearing this, the three of them also activated their own answer-answering assistants.

Then they all became surprised and suspicious.

"...So the challenge was designed by the examinee himself?" Shi Lingwo's smile widened as he strode forward, looking at the Steel-Armored Raven that was already poised to attack.

"As an apology for what I just said, let me set an example for you all."

……

"It's getting more and more lively."

At the hundredth level, Amon looked at the four new examinees and then noticed Wushan Yu climbing up from the Growlithe: "What's wrong? Do you know anyone here?"

"Yes, Jiaying and Miaomiao are my best friends."

Wu Shanyu stood up; she planned to return to level 80 first.

The Steel Raven is fine, it's fun to try it out, but... I don't recommend the later levels, they're too challenging for your mental fortitude.

"Ah."

Amon nodded without saying anything.

Instead, they wrote and drew on a laptop. Although the sample size was small, King Kong and his team's challenge process provided Amon with a lot of useful data.

Trainer!

This is a Pokémon support card specially designed and made by Amon to compensate for Pokémon's limited endurance and slow growth time!

Currently, [Trainers] possess two common characteristics.

The immunity effect (①) prevents trainers from being easily defeated by other trainers' effects, thus ensuring their ability to stay on the field.

Effect ② is currently divided into Dojo Master characteristics and Regional characteristics.

The former is a common ability for all Gym Leaders and Trainers. Its effect is to increase the level of the Pokémon they own, which is equivalent to eliminating the Pokémon's early weaknesses and growth period.

Similarly, there is the advanced Heavenly King trait, but at a higher level.

As for the latter's regional characteristics, they relate to the bond effects of Pokémon card decks!

Yes, bonds!

This is also where the trainers' effect ③ is specifically manifested!

On a side note, what is the most attractive thing about the Pokémon world?

Are there all sorts of strange and wonderful Pokémon?

There's also a Digimon game next door, but even though it's similar in theme and more exciting, it's not as good as Pokémon, a world-class T0 title!

That is……

Alright, I'll just reveal the answer!

Amon has always been clear that what truly attracts people to Pokémon is the sincere and pure bond between Pokémon and their trainers!

It's family love, it's friendship, it's mutual dependence and affection...

It's unwavering until death!

Once a Pokémon recognizes you as its trainer, it will give you its heart.

From now on, every day of your Pokémon adventure will be with you, sharing your sadness and sorrow, your successes and failures, your happiness and your tears...

Only death can separate the bond between a trainer and their Pokémon.

No, perhaps death can only separate them temporarily.
