My anime-style card deck is fine!

Four Heavenly Kings?

Tieshan Youyou then discovered that Acerola's title was not Gym Leader, but rather an even higher Elite Four Trainer!

The effect is that it can raise the level of your Pokémon to level 59!

Tieshan Youyou knew very well what this effect meant.

Five stars!

Could that seemingly petite girl on the other side actually be an opponent on par with Wang Quan?!

No, it should be, that guy Amon, he can even make cards of this level so easily!

And Ghost-type...

Tieshan Youyou still remembers when King Kong and Mao fought before, Mao used the Wood Spirit with the dual attributes of grass and ghost to release a skill called curse, which directly killed the match!

We must not be careless...

Then, Tieshan Youyou realized that whether he was careless or not was completely irrelevant.

"Break the steering wheel, use [Sword Dance]!"

In the first round, after summoning the Broken Wheel, Acerola immediately had it enhanced.

Iron Mountain Youyou was already at a disadvantage in terms of level, so it was impossible for him to succeed. He quickly activated the effect of his hand card in an attempt to block Broken Wheel's Sword Dance.

But the Sand Eater Lord that Acerola summoned immediately appeared out of thin air, holding up [Defend] and blocking her way!

With the Sand Eater's defenses, the extremely slow Broken Wheel was able to undergo reinforcement at a leisurely pace.

Then, Acerola immediately sent the broken steering wheel into the shadows.

—【Sneak Attack】!

The effect of this skill allows the Pokémon that activates it to sink into the Shadow World, where it can accumulate power. In the next turn, it emerges from the Shadow World carrying the power of the Shadow World and delivers a powerful blow!

Because it jumps back into the world from outside the world, no defense or obstacle can form a line of defense against the sneak attack of the spirit!

Even the card master's own mental barrier!

After activating this effect, the Broken Wheel is essentially an exception. If this effect is not used properly, it will cause gaps in your defense. Once you accidentally leave the field empty, you will be directly attacked by your opponent!

However, Acerola was not worried about this.

"Activate the Spell Card [Sandstorm] against Sandstorm Lord on the field from my hand!" Acerola played a card, then casually took it back to her hand, and once again commanded Sandstorm Lord to activate its skill!

Now, the only remaining large sand sculpture on the Acerola field trembled violently.

A cloud of dust instantly spread from his body.

A strong wind is howling!

The towering sandstorm wall completely blocked the view between Iron Mountain Youyou and Acerola, and he couldn't even see his own minions and the figures summoned by the building cards!

The sandstorm that was summoned was so intense that for a moment one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

It wasn't over yet. Although the view was blocked, the sound could still be transmitted smoothly. The moment after the Sand Lord launched the sandstorm, Acerola issued another command.

"【Quicksand Abyss】!" Acerola's voice was still cheerful.

However, the effect of the declaration made Tieshan Youyou's heart sink. The slight attack of this effect was insignificant, but the effect of binding follower cards and preventing them from leaving the field was quite annoying!

This effect alone is enough to keep most card players who rely on repeatedly switching between different areas of the field to Special Summon key cards in their decks stuck with a terrible hand!

Why say the majority?

Because Tieshan Youyou is one of the majority!

Iron Mountain Youyou is a building-type deck that relies on ritual cards as a glue to stack multiple building cards and ultimately build an invincible sky city!

Even so, he couldn't conjure the card out of thin air.

Each person needs to search for their own information!

Acerola had no idea what Tieshan Youyou was thinking. Holding a stack of cards, she smiled like a rabbit that had stolen a carrot.

After Popo's helm eliminated himself with a stealthy attack, there was now an extra empty space on the field!

Acerola, of course, didn't hesitate to summon again.

"【Pokémon Shining Appearance】! Once per turn, I can increase a Pokémon's Normal Summon count by one!" Acerola tossed out another Poké Ball: "Go, my guardian, my knight—【Mimimitchu】!"

A streak of red light pierced the sandstorm.

Mimikyu, dressed in a tattered Pikachu plush toy costume, appeared in the air.

Then, Acerola issued the order without hesitation: "Mimimitaki, activate [Sword Dance] as well!"

"This time, we absolutely cannot let you succeed!"

Tieshan Youyou's eyes widened suddenly. Ignoring the sandstorm in front of him, he stared at the location where the red light of summoning appeared and played a card without hesitation!

"Activate the Spell Card [Construction Accident]! Send my Building Card [Mosaic Background Wall] to the Graveyard, and destroy the minion you summoned!"

Several steel bars appeared out of thin air and then fell straight down toward Mimikyu!

Chapter 153: The Surprise Attack by the Hidden Spirits

This card, Iron Mountain Yuu, was originally intended for Acerola's other Pokémon.

For example, the missing, broken steering wheel, or the Sand-Eating Fortress hidden in the sandstorm... But now, with the sandstorm howling, he has no other choice!

Even if the visibility of a sandstorm is clearly visible to the naked eye.

But the Sand-Eating Lord was still nowhere to be found.

Sword dance!

An excellent buff that can increase a minion's attack power by 50%!

The higher the level of the follower, the greater the benefit of this buff—unfortunately, Acerola, one of the Elite Four, has only level 59 Pokémon!

It's a powerful minion that's almost reached six stars!

The previous steering wheel was protected by that sand sculpture, but this one isn't!

Don't think that using a sandstorm to block your view will make me...

"what?!"

Just as Tieshan Youyou was thinking of this, he was astonished to find that the countless steel bars that fell from the sky and pierced through the earth seemed to have formed a cluster of steel flowers on the ground.

But what astonished him was the Mimikyu floating on the steel bars, seemingly unharmed!

"【Painted Skin】!" Each duel can only be fought once, granting immunity to one instance of destructive effect.

This is why Acerola, even without the protection of Sand Eater, still allowed Mimikyu to use her skills so carelessly!

One frame without invincibility.

It's the perfect choice for this situation!

"It's almost time, Mimikyu, use the same [Sneak Attack]!" Acerola gave the final command, and Mimikyu also sank into the shadows.

The second round arrived in an instant!

Driven by a strong sense of crisis, Tieshan Youyou continued playing without hesitation after drawing a card.

After the unstoppable rampage in the previous round, Tieshan Youyou quickly established [Hanging Gardens of Babylon] again in this round. The effect of the Hanging Gardens blocked the damage from [Sandstorm] and [Quicksand Abyss].

—No matter how chaotic the outside world is, this place is a pure land in the mortal world!

"call--"

Tieshan Youyou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, a metallic phantom suddenly pierced through him from behind. The violent impact felt as if his internal organs were being torn apart, as if they were about to be pulled out of his body!

What--?!

Tieshan Youyou couldn't help but open his mouth wide, his eyes bloodshot. The sudden attack left him speechless for a moment. In his panic, his body was even trembling and spasming involuntarily!

Although there was no specific pain or injury.

But in that instant, Tieshan Youyou felt as if his heart had stopped beating!

Lower your head.

Tieshan Youyou saw that what had burst out of his chest was a rusty ship's wheel!

"Break! Break~!" The Break-Break rudder was clearly satisfied with Tieshan Youyou's reaction.

The prank was a huge success!

"Broken steering wheel?!" Tie Shan Youyou gritted his teeth, but his eyes showed little anger, instead a calm demeanor—although this attack was indeed unexpected, he was not unprepared!

When facing off against Amon's Pokémon decks, the most important thing is to be careful of those overpowered, high-damage attacks!

Amon had already written the answer on the first page.

Tieshan Youyou was not one to ignore advice, so the first thing he built was a structure that could protect his life—the Great Pyramid of Giza in ancient Egypt!

"When I receive a direct attack, the attack is redirected!"

Tieshan Youyou announced the card's effect: "When this effect is activated, for every 1000 points of damage I take, I must banish one card from my deck!"

"Except for me... sixteen!"

At this point, Tie Shan Youyou was somewhat surprised. This seemingly unremarkable steering wheel could actually deal him 16,000 points of damage?!

But Tieshan Youyou soon realized that he didn't have time to be surprised.

Because, after the first attack was blocked, the huge steel rudder inside his body actually started to spin!

——【Spiral Ball】!

The slower the speed, the stronger the power of the skill.

And without a doubt, with a base speed stat of only 40, Broken Wheel is only slightly better than Bronze-level!

This single skill attack couldn't even be described as being at close range; it was like being completely surrounded by overlapping Iron Mountain Yu You. Even though the Great Pyramid of Giza prevented her from taking damage...

However, the deck will be drained, and even if it doesn't die instantly, it will be difficult to survive until the next turn!
