My anime-style card deck is fine!

After all the effects of "Otherworldly Me" were activated, the result was that, apart from the addition of a regeneration pool, the situation on the field was almost exactly the same as that of the opponent's Camille!

Both are Kamizles, and their Pokémon are Pikachu and Zephyr.

—Pokémon Civil War!

Amon thought this scene would only appear after Pokémon became more widespread in the future, but he didn't expect it to appear so soon because of the special nature of the other me!

This piqued Amon's interest.

Moreover, although it's a bit strange for him, as the founder of Pokémon, to say this, Pokémon is actually better at internal battles between its own people!

Chapter 160: This is Pokémon Battle!

Pokémon battles!

Ultimately, Amon's [Pokémon] deck is based on a Pokémon battle game, with countless counter-effects and skills between the two.

In short, while this world also has a tendency towards type advantages and disadvantages, it's not as extreme as the Pokémon world.

However, this is not the case for Pokémon. In Pokémon mirror matches, the calculations are based entirely on the Pokémon's own type advantage/disadvantage table!

For example...

"Since the opponent is an Electric-type, then it's decided!" Kamizle's eyes lit up when she saw the two Pokémon on the opponent's field, and she felt like she was back in the Pokémon Colosseum.

He immediately perked up and drew a magic card from his hand: "Thunder Zebra, [100,000 Horsepower]!"

"Don't lose to her! Lightning Zebra, use [Lightning Strike]!"

I also waved my hand dismissively.

Surrounded by illusory dust and imbued with the earthy yellow power of the ground, it transformed into a gigantic, lightning-encrusted zebra phantom, which thunderously charged across the field.

I, too, am not to be outdone.

Although he didn't have any cards in hand, he clearly recognized the excellence of Pokémon—this thing actually carried six supplementary cards with it, which were already stacked together before it even appeared!

—A natural excess!

As for the items and berries they carry, one increases physical attack (Power Headband), and the other also increases physical attack (Branchberry)!

Of the four move cards carried by Zephyr, [Volt Switch], which can replace a Pokémon, is a no-brainer, while [Flame Charge] is not powerful enough.

What remains is the invincible [Defend], and—

[Lightning Strike] can double your attack power!

"Crackling~!"

The raging thunder covered the Thunder Zebra, and the whole horse seemed to transform into lightning, carrying thunder that could shatter the air, as it attacked the Thunder Zebra opposite!

Lightning Strike vs. 100,000 Horsepower!

After both sides unleashed their skills, even the examinees in the audience who were unaware of the skill damage effects could clearly see that the Thunder Zebra of Another World was obviously more powerful!

And that's exactly the case; Kamizle's Thunder Zebra, with its 100,000 horsepower, only has a power output of a little over 7,000.

However, my Thunder Zebra, after being enhanced by its own type and the Power Headband, is different.

Its attack power far surpasses the Golden Line, just like many Pokémon have done to it in the past, relying on its powerful and overwhelming attack to forcefully defeat its opponent!

No matter who you look at it from, this will be an attack with no suspense whatsoever!

...except for Amon.

"I've lost." The moment I launched my attack, Amon knew that the person had gone far away—without knowing the [type advantage/disadvantage chart], the first encounter between Pokémon is even stronger!

"Ugh?"

Wu Shanyu looked over in surprise, but before she could ask a question...

The two zebras charging at each other on the field had already collided, and just as Amon said, my zebra was completely crushed and sent flying by Kamizley's lightning zebra!

Unable to maintain its shape in mid-air, it exploded with a bang, turning into scattered glutinous rice fragments that disappeared without a trace.

"!!!"

What happened!

Looking at Kamizley's lightning zebra, which was almost unharmed... no, not almost, it was completely unharmed!

The world made me stare wide-eyed.

The crowd below the stage was also astonished, but they were more puzzled as to why the Thunder Zebra of the World was killed so easily.

The health points of a follower card are a hidden attribute.

Depending on the characteristics of the follower card itself, its health points are generally between 10% and 300% of its defense. Some even have extremely low defense, but because of their extremely high health points, such health points will be counted as above their defense.

Therefore, it is usually associated with defensive capabilities.

And the Thunder Zebra doesn't look like a minion with low health, so how could it be so easily killed by the opponent's skill?

"Pokémon have their own independent type matchups."

Amon explained simply: "In the Pokémon's own type matchup, Ground type is absolutely superior to Electric type. Electric type effects cannot affect Ground type, while Ground type moves can deal twice the damage to Electric type moves!"

"What?! Is there really such a thing?!"

Wushan Yu was startled.

"Not only that, it's also related to the skills I use. Although Lightning Strike is powerful, powerful skills always come at a price, and the price of Lightning Strike is that if the attack misses or is blocked, this skill will instead consume the follower's own health."

Amon is the designer of this deck, so he naturally has an understanding of the skills.

Lightning Strike isn't meant to be used to fight other minions head-on; it's a finishing move!

"I used the wrong skill."

Amon added, "Electric versus electric, although it can only deal 50% damage to the breakfast, it won't trigger the cost of Lightning Strike. However, he shouldn't have used this skill on the Thunder Zebra."

because……

"Why isn't my Lightning Strike working?!"

I also heard Amon's explanation, and my mind was immediately filled with questions.

Yes, even if Lightning Strike's damage is reduced, it shouldn't trigger a backlash and get wiped out in one go, right?

"Of course it won't work! Since you've transformed into my Thunder Zebra, you must know the characteristics of my Thunder Zebra, right?" Kamizley asked with a smile.

"...An electric engine?!"

Finally, I found the characteristics of Zephyr that he had overlooked from the complicated information about Pokémon!

"Yes! My Thunder Zebra has the [Electric Engine] trait! It can negate and become immune to all electric-attribute card effects and attacks! At the same time, when it suffers an electric-attribute attack, it will gain an extra chance to use its skill!"

Camille stood with her arms outstretched, radiant and full of confidence under the spotlight:

"Don't give him a chance to struggle! Now! Thunder Zebra, use a series of [Charged Flame Strike] on that fake Pikachu!"

The lightning zebra, which had just smashed a lightning zebra, let out a fierce neigh.

Enveloped in flames, it charged headlong into the Pikachu on the field—Electric-type attacks have reduced effectiveness against Electric-type attacks, but Fire-type attacks do not!

"Pikachu!"

The world surprised me.

His Pikachu is a complete copy of Camille, so it has the same moves, but it can't use [Fake Out] and [Knock Off] has no target.

Even if used on the Thunder Zebra, it would only knock off its Power Headband.

As for the remaining two skills...

One is "[Try Again]", and the other is "[Volt Replacement]", neither of which are skills that can be used in this situation.

He quickly played a magic card, allowing his Pikachu to transform into a Thunder Zebra just before the attack landed, thus withstanding the two charged flame attacks.

Two consecutive fiery charges severely damaged the new Thunder Zebra in the world.

Fortunately, he didn't die.

This relieved me, and then the duel moved into the second round!

By discarding a card from my hand, I revive an unidentified shapeshifter that was previously defeated and sent to the graveyard, and then transform it back into the form of a lightning zebra.

He discovered that the electric mouse was completely useless!

Why not just turn them all into lightning zebras...?

Just as he was thinking that.

"Thunder Zebra, once again [100,000 horsepower]!" Kamizley commanded the Thunder Zebra to charge again. Carrying the power of the earth, the Thunder Zebra was like a rolling mudslide, instantly crushing the previously injured Thunder Zebra.

However, this was within my expectations.

Pokémon move cards are reusable and can be returned to your hand after use—if it weren't for the fact that you could only use one move card on one Pokémon per turn, this thing would be far too overpowered!

However, the question now is, how to win!

Looking at my hand, I decided to play a spell card to search my deck and summon the last undetermined shapeshifter.

As long as there are three unidentified shapeshifters...

Just as I was pondering this, Camille gave Pikachu a command he couldn't see: "Pikachu, use [Try Again] on Zephyr!"

Then, seeing the lightning zebra once again swirling around the earth's power, I immediately understood.

What exactly is the purpose of that electric mouse?

The roaring lightning zebra charged again, carrying a magnificent offensive like a mudslide, knocking the other lightning zebra flying.

Fortunately, the hit rate of 100,000 horsepower vehicles is not high.

In a real duel, it was inconvenient to turn and brake, and the Thunder Zebra of Another World barely avoided the head-on charge, but because the distance was too close, it was still grazed a little.

He lost most of his health in an instant.

Completely crippled!

"Is this double damage...?" Before I could recover from my shock, Kamizlei's Pikachu clapped its hands again.

—[One more time!]

With the blessing of an unseen force, the lightning zebra once again entwined itself with the colors of the earth.
