My anime-style card deck is fine!

This bond and emotion passed down from the Pokémon world ultimately manifested as the [Trainers'] effect ③, granting them the ability to bring Pokémon from the graveyard back to the battlefield!

Perhaps it's not a recall, but rather the Pokémon returning to the battlefield once again for their trainers!

but……

This kind of emotion is truly touching.

But Amon is now somewhat speechless. When he first created the trainers and set up the levels, he didn't think too much about it, but after setting up a few levels, Amon realized something was wrong!

Yes, his Pokémon are no longer his Pokémon.

It belongs to Mao, it belongs to Lillie, it belongs to Lurina... but it doesn't belong to him, Amon!

Simply put, if you don't bring specific Trainer cards, Amon can't use those Pokémon Follower cards!

This left Amon speechless.

A single trainer can be linked to multiple Pokémon cards.

Only Pokémon bound to their Trainer can activate the Trainer's Effect 3 revival effect. Simply put, although Toxapex is also a Water-type Pokémon, if it is in the same deck as Lyrina, Lyrina's Effect 3 cannot activate on it.

—Because there are no bonds!

Or rather, Toxapex is [Amon's] Pokémon, not [Lorina's].

The introduction of Trainer cards has effectively split Amon's Pokémon deck—in fact, it's not impossible for Amon to sever this binding.

But the Pokémon cards will be reset!

Equivalent to...

"He killed that Pokémon with his own hands, and then found another one that looked exactly the same." After realizing this, Amon couldn't accept it at all!

Although Amon knew that he was just overthinking things.

What was erased was the memories of the Pokémon and their trainers... but even so, Amon couldn't accept it!

If even that bond no longer exists...

Pokémon will no longer be Pokémon!

However, if Pokémon are not bound to their trainers, severing the connection is much simpler—for example, the Pokémon cards that Amon currently possesses can be unbound from him and then given to someone else.

At most, it'll just mean a drop in rank.

It's like releasing animals into the Pokémon world...

Because Amon is a card master, not a trainer!

With that in mind, Amon had already decided that Pokémon cards could be sold—he had no reason to refuse, allowing Pokémon to connect with the card players of this world.

But let's forget about the [Trainer] support cards.

Unless they pass his test, Amon will not release a single one!

Because there is a limit to the number of Pokémon a trainer can bind, changing the deck configuration is the most common thing card players do.

However, this action will cause the Pokémon cards to be refreshed!

Amon couldn't accept this, so if that's the case, it would be better not to give it the chance to happen in the first place.

"...After that, we'll also implement a card recycling mechanism and conduct follow-up visits."

Amon was writing down things in his notebook that had nothing to do with the duel, intending to do so along with the sale of the Pokémon card deck after he left.

If others knew what Amon was thinking, they would definitely think Amon was crazy.

but……

Amon is happy to!

"Hmm?" Fanxing, who was standing to the side, suddenly looked up, her eyes sparkling. "The radiance on Amon is even more dazzling... He's one step closer to the [sun]. What just happened?"

Fanxing thought for a while, then focused her attention on the notebook in Amon's hand.

She stayed with Amon the whole time, and the only difference was what Amon was writing down in his notebook.

Although she guessed the reason, Fanxing had no intention of investigating it.

Just as every great sun is surrounded by countless stars, all she needs to do is simply be by his side!

The world revolves around the sun!

She just needs to wait.

Things will then develop in the direction she hopes for.

Chapter 152: [Acerola]

The advantage of having a Trainer is that Amon can greatly enhance and unify his Pokémon deck.

However, the drawback is that the trainer has separated what was originally a unified deck.

Amon used to be able to use whatever he wanted, but now he has to consider the bond between trainers—of course, this is not unsolvable!

In fact, Mao and Lillie are Amon's solution.

The Gym Leaders and Elite Four Trainers are so outstanding and unique that there is no room for change or growth.

But Mao and Lillie, who are still 'students', are different.

Although a deck can only contain six Pokémon, the Extra Deck is not affected by this negative effect. Therefore, Amon can change the composition of the Pokémon in the deck by switching the identity of the Trainer on the field.

Find the problem, then solve it!

That's what a card master is all about.

Moreover, calling it a defect is not entirely accurate.

The appearance of trainers is like giving Pokémon decks an extra backbone!

The numerous Pokémon minions, items, and moves are all connected by the trainers, who act like branches, transforming the originally messy pile of cards into neat rows of trees.

It transformed into a forest!

Amon can choose the trees he needs according to his own wishes.

"Later, we can consider rebuilding the deck based on [region]..." Amon scribbled in his notebook while keeping an eye on the performance of other candidates in each level.

Wushan Yu has already reunited with the bespectacled girl Jia Ying and the bubble-hatted girl Zhou Miaomiao.

However, it was clear that the girls each had their own pride and had no intention of being lazy. Instead, they offered themselves up one after another, only to be thoroughly beaten by Corviknight!

The one that caught Amon's attention the most was the red-hatted man named "The Other Me".

This guy can freely transform into other followers.

Fanxing also provided timely explanations from the side. Through her explanation, Amon understood that this was yet another genius boy who had innately awakened a Soul Card slot!

Its soul card slot is inherently equipped with a card.

It cannot be uninstalled or replaced.

Therefore, my innate ability as a separate self allows me to use Soul Cards even in this round of testing where other cards are not permitted!

The name on that card is 【The Other Me】!

Its effect is to completely imitate the opponent, including abilities, stats, effects, height... except for the opponent's memory and skills, all other external conditions can be completely imitated!

In addition, he comes from a family that has been a inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of face-changing art.

There are even rumors that this guy completely imitated his opponent's deck and used it to crush his opponent!

but……

This guy ultimately got a good beating from Corviknight.

Amon was completely baffled. This guy had perfectly copied Corviknight, even stacking Iron Defense alongside it, and was practically pouncing on it too, but...

It withered as soon as it turned its head.

“He’s afraid of heights,” Fanxing explained, a smile involuntarily playing on her lips. “It’s quite serious.”

Amon immediately understood: "No wonder, he's just unlucky."

Then, Corviknight achieved a quadra kill!

The painter's abstract art had no effect on Corviknight, but Jia Ying was a traditional magician who entered the field with full buffs, which triggered Corviknight's extremely arrogant mode!

Zhou Miaomiao, in the end, manipulates non-Newtonian fluids that possess physical immunity.

However, the Armored Raven, with its ever-stretching iron walls, managed to break through the defenses—physical immunity has its limits, and the Armored Raven surpassed those limits!

After that, Amon stopped watching.

They only paid attention to Laplace for a while when they passed by.

In fact, the group of Pokémon that Laplace brought with him was originally intended by Amon for Lorelei—unfortunately, Lorelei's creation failed, and in the end, Amon left these Pokémon in the first four stages.

It was then that Amon learned that although all the trainers were 3-star, they all needed to be made using blank Silver-level cards!

It's not even guaranteed to succeed!

Because, in the end, Amon only had two Elite Four level trainer minion cards in his hand.

Based on the simple idea that the higher the level, the stronger you are, Amon placed him in the last two levels, excluding the 100th level where he was!

That is...

Tieshan Youyou is currently facing level 98!

And the guardian trainer is...

"Hi~ I am Acerola, an ancient princess! I am also one of the Ghost-type Elite Four of Alola!" She wore a dress full of patchwork marks, but she did not look shabby. Instead, it looked like ripped jeans, giving her a strange kind of beauty.

Her delicate, slightly youthful face wore a cheerful smile that seemed out of place with her overall demeanor.

The magnificent gold armlet on her left arm confirmed that she had deliberately chosen this outfit. Upon closer inspection, one could also discern the delicate and exquisite fabric of Acerola's dress.

A girl, who looks more like a little girl than a teenager, happily holds up a Poké Ball:

"I'm really looking forward to seeing you! Let's have a match today!"
