My anime-style card deck is fine!

Amon has been waiting for this moment!

Waiting for these guys to discover the special properties of the colored beans!

"Hahaha!! That's the expression I've been wanting to see. It's the look of utter frustration on your faces after your defeat, but then belatedly realizing how incredibly strong my Aya is!"

Amon laughed triumphantly: "You think Pokémon are powerful? No, the powerful ones are my Bea!"

"Damn it! How arrogant this person is!"

"It's really annoying to see him so smug." Deep Blue Mechanic and the Gardener gathered together, looking at Amon in front of them, and couldn't help but feel an itch to punch him.

But there's nothing we can do; they're issuing a victory declaration.

As the losers...

Choosing not to hear, he turned around without hesitation and quickly left level 94.

"You'll really have no friends if you keep going like this."

Wu Shanyu realized that Amon hadn't listened to a single word of her advice.

"Tsk, there's nothing we can do about it. These guys all look down on my Cai Dou, and they all have this 'we've already won't lose' look on their faces."

Amon spread his hands: "My Cai Dou is the best!"

"This is all thanks to my successful daily training!" Cai Dou stood next to A Meng, unaware of the meaning behind A Meng's words. The naive girl simply thought that A Meng was praising her.

Without a trace of complacency, he responded very seriously: "But I will not be arrogant because of my current victory. I will continue to work hard, and I will work even harder later!"

"?"

Even Amon didn't expect that, after becoming a follower card, Cai Dou would still have the idea of ​​continuing to train.

The cards from Rainbow Beans don't have that kind of growth potential, right?

Amon subconsciously took out Rainbow Bean's follower card and checked the information on it again.

—Bea, a Fighting-type Pokémon Trainer—

Attribute: Fighting

Rating: ★★★

Entry: [Pokémon Trainer], [Galar Region], [Gym Leader]

Attack 3000; Defense 3000;

Effect ①: Fighting-type Pokémon Trainer - When a Fighting-type Pokémon is on the field, this card is unaffected by other card effects and cannot be attacked by other cards. Fighting-type Pokémon gain an extra move per turn.

Effect 2: Legendary Arena Gym Leader - When this card is on the field, all Fighting-type Pokémon with a level below 49 will be raised to level 49 and gain related effects and moves.

Effect 3: Pokémon Fighting Expert Bea – When this card is on the field, once per turn, add 1 Fighting-type [Pokémon] follower card from your Graveyard to your hand.

Amon watched it twice more!

No!

His memory is fine; he's just a typical gym trainer template with no extra growth potential!

Ayaka was well aware of this, but she had her own interpretation.

"I believe that hard work and sweat will not deceive me." Cai Dou was surprisingly perceptive in this regard, seeing through Amon's thoughts, and said earnestly, "The fruit watered by sweat will eventually ripen!"

"...but it's still important to balance work and rest."

There was nothing else he could do but offer encouragement, as he couldn't find any other reason to offer advice.

"I will."

Cai Dou nodded seriously, but even though she agreed, she probably wouldn't be able to keep up with Cai Dou's relentless training once she started.

Besides, now that I'm a card spirit, it's okay to work a little too hard, right?

Cai Dou thought to herself.

……

Chapter 168: Scorching Hot!

More like a fighter than a trainer, Bea left a deep impression on everyone.

They never expected that the trainers, who had always been seen as mere accessories, would actually take to the field themselves. It was only then that they realized that the trainers' first effect was quite domineering and unreasonable!

At the same time, I am speechless at the double standard of the so-called "two-player arena" that excludes "trainers".

However, everyone just sighed, since that's how the card's effect is written, and there's nothing they can do about it.

Without lingering, they chose to leave immediately.

Besides avoiding Amon's boasting, it also meant wanting to finish quickly. We've already reached level 94, and there are only a few levels left until the final level.

Hoping to finish as soon as possible, the group entered level 95.

A wave of heat hit us, making our eyes sting.

The room at level 95 is like a giant furnace.

Surrounding the central dueling arena is a constantly flowing river of lava that emits a dazzling red light!

"Welcome... no, insignificant challenger, it's great to see you make it this far!"

Standing in the dueling arena.

A red-haired girl with a ponytail stammered somewhat shyly, "I can, um... show you the fiery moves we've honed on this land!"

"Aysa, this style doesn't suit you anymore. Take it easy, take it easy~"

As Amon walked in behind the others, he heard Asha trying to remain calm as she stammered out an arrogant declaration, and he couldn't help but cover his forehead.

This Aysa blinked, then looked up as if she hadn't heard anything: "Anyway, let's start the battle with our fiery moves!"

"..."

Amon stared speechlessly at Aysa, who had turned her head away and was deliberately avoiding his gaze.

Behind him, Wu Shanyu was secretly chuckling.

When Amon turned his head, he immediately put on a stern face, put the pipe that had never been lit in his mouth, and began to look around in a pretentious manner.

On the other side, because of Aysa's arrogant remarks, someone has already gone on stage to challenge her.

Then, as a tortoise appeared, a sun rose slowly on the field, and the already scorching air around them instantly became even hotter.

——Sunny day!

Glasses-wearing Jia Ying and Wu Shan Yu subtly moved closer to Zhou Miaomiao, and then simply soaked in Zhou Miaomiao's water sphere together.

The three girls were thus encased in the water balloon.

This girl, who was beaten to tears in the last match, has been surrounded by water balloons all year round. Instead of getting wrinkled from being soaked, she is still plump and fresh. She has also trained this water balloon to be quite excellent.

It's warm in winter and cool in summer, with automatic temperature control; just getting close to it feels like being next to an air conditioner.

Amon also wanted to use the air conditioning, but unfortunately Zhou Miaomiao rejected him with a look of disgust—this little girl actually held a grudge. Although she didn't care about Cai Dou's matter, she held a grudge against Amon!

"Pfft~" Zhou Miaomiao made a face at Amon.

Amon didn't mind. After thinking for a moment, he summoned a soft [Snow Swallowing Worm] from his deck. Although the cute little worm looked uncomfortable in the high temperature, the Snow Swallowing Worm could just bear it.

Anyway, Amon was very comfortable holding the snow worm.

—What is the [Ice Scale Powder] property?

At this moment, the two players who were competing on the field had no time to care about such a trivial matter as perceived temperature.

The Deep Blue Mechanic finally understood what true madness, blasting, rampage, and explosion really meant!

He originally thought that his attacks were aggressive enough, and he always believed that bombarding the ground was the ultimate romance for men. Every card in his deck was clamoring for greater and stronger firepower!

Among a group of people who play with architecture, draw comics, do beauty, and play with magic, only Deep Blue Mechanic is the kind of person who honestly summons minions and then engages in proper duels.

Although it's not exactly a formal program.

Because of its emphasis on offense, it lacks defensive capabilities, and Blue Mechanic has consistently underperformed against many Pokémon decks that can easily defeat its opponent.

There are even records of characters being defeated immediately upon their debut, without even having time to draw cards.

Even so, this was the first time that Deep Blue Mechanic had ever felt that Pokémon decks completely unleashed their limitations, focusing everything on attack, attack, and even stronger attacks!

What a magnificent sight it will be!

That's how it is now...

Even Kamizlei will occasionally use [Electromagnetic Wave] and [Volt Replacement] to link offense and defense, as well as to switch individual minions.

But there are none like Asha!

After summoning Torkoal to activate the good weather, Aysa immediately summoned Charizard. With the blessing of sunny weather, the Fire-type Pokémon gained an extra use of a Fire-type move—although this effect overlaps with the trainer's effect, it doesn't matter!

Sunny Day also grants a 20% damage boost to Fire-type moves, which, combined with Charizard's 10% damage boost as its own type, and its own 20% damage boost from its Solar Power ability, makes it a formidable opponent.

That's a full 50% damage increase!

So, what did Charizard do?

—Of course the Charizard breathes fire!

Although Charizard's type isn't dragon at all, and it can't learn [Breathe], it doesn't matter!

"【Fiery Abyss】!"

Although the hit rate is extremely low, only 50%, it means that this skill is too clunky and the attack trajectory is too low, making it easy to dodge.

But so what?

You might dodge one, but what about the three?

"The fiery sky descends, burning everything to ashes. Let our opponents see our scorching moves!" Asha excitedly commanded the fire-breathing dragon, activating another [Fire Abyss] card from her hand at the same time.

It unleashed all of Charizard's effects in one go!

"Roar--!!"

The fire-breathing dragon roared in the air, then spewed out terrifying, almost black flames downwards.
