My anime-style card deck is fine!

The artwork on the second card wasn't as impressive.

The effect wasn't as outstanding as the first card.

Katu is Amon commanding Gardevoir, whose body is surging with pink fairy light, causing the entire surrounding area to surge and collapse. The elegant and slender Gardevoir stands in stark contrast to the surrounding cruel scene that seems to be collapsing the sky.

And the name of this card is:

——【Gardedor is the best】

“This card and the previous one shouldn’t have been made by the same person.” Even without Wu Shanyu saying it, Amon could tell that the name on this card was full of youth and joy, and a little bit irreverent.

However, the effect is quite good. This is a ritual card that, when activated, allows you to flip over the top three cards of your deck. If any of these cards contain a Pokémon, you can Special Summon it to the field.

If [Gardedor] is on the field, you can use this card as a cost to activate a full-power [Mist Blast].

Simply put, it means 'Gardedoll is about to launch an awesome attack'!

Additionally, this card has a second effect.

If another Pokémon is on the field, when that Pokémon's attack or effect damage reaches 10000 points, it will gain the effect of card destruction. In short, if this card is available, the situation where Pokémon like Caitlia's [Wide Area Power] had little effect after several area attacks will not happen.

Wushan Yu will die on the spot in the first round due to the failure of his plan.

However, more than the effect, Amon wanted to know why the other party chose to use Gardevoir as the base for card creation, even though other Pokémon also had their share of highlights.

Is Gardevoir really that fragrant?!

Gardevoir smells so good! — Amon nodded in complete agreement.

"This card is targeting me!"

Wu Shanyu figured it out. Although the card didn't explain its name, effect, or even notes, its ability, use, and artwork were clearly aimed at her!

Compared to the previous card, Amon only glanced at this one casually before putting it in his card holder.

Well, this card doesn't seem to be of much use to him.

The first card raised his expectations too high.

While Gardevoir is indeed a decent card, Amon probably won't add it to his deck.

—Because it's unnecessary.

Pokémon's strength and power are already beyond the reach of this card. There are countless ways to destroy a deck if you really want to achieve this, so there's no need to add some unnecessary distractions.

And the most important thing is...

"I can make cards of this caliber too," Amon thought. The reason he didn't do so in the second round of assessments was to balance the strength of his sixteen female trainers, as well as because of the lack of card-making materials.

The previous card made Amon realize how far he was from the pinnacle of card making.

So Amon found out about this card...

He's already a 'card-making master'!

At the very least, Amon doesn't think he's weaker than the so-called card-making master who created this card; in fact, he might even be stronger!

"That master must have put all his energy into the first card."

Wushan Rain also has a reward card.

The card's level is similar to the powerful attack card in Amon's hand, with some enhancements, but not many, and it's biased in some areas she hadn't noticed.

In fact, these reward cards are primarily designed to help test takers better develop the possibilities of their decks.

For example, the two corn-related enhancement cards that Amon obtained in the first round.

There are just too many types of [Crazy Plants].

Specializing in a particular area or plant might lead to unexpected breakthroughs and enhancements.

Chapter 192: The Blazing Roaring Tiger is the Number One in the Universe!

Overall, this [Gardedor is the best] reward card is of normal quality.

On the contrary, the first reward card is already significantly higher level.

It completely overturned the composition of a deck. Even Amon couldn't have predicted this. It's not a question of whether it's possible or not, but that he never even thought of it!

After the second card, Amon was mentally prepared for the third card.

Upon opening it, what comes into view is a crimson Incineroar—this Pokémon, the number one Pokémon in the universe, which has been hidden for nearly a hundred chapters, is Amon's starter Pokémon, a Pokémon above the gods, and has finally made its appearance once again!

It just appears in a different way.

P.S.: I heard that Incineroar has now fallen to the second-ranked Pokémon in the universe?

The image on this card.

It was the Blazing Roaring Tiger that slapped someone's card away. Amon's figure was vaguely visible in the corner. As for the person whose card was knocked away...

“It’s a fungus,” Wu Shanyu recognized it.

This person has an unexpectedly wide social circle. Although there is only one hand in the picture, you can still recognize who it is.

"It really is him."

Amon couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene. As the first duelist to be persecuted by Tiger, Jun's expression at that moment was nothing short of classic.

The bewilderment of having one's worldview turned upside down...

Amon didn't think much of it, as if he was looking at the card's name—【The Blazing Roaring Tiger Revered as a God】!

"It's a very suitable name for Incineroar," Amon nodded in approval. His starter Pokémon was indeed so powerful and strong!

The effect of this card caught Amon's eye.

This card grants an extra Fake Out move to a Pokémon on the field without taking up a move slot. If the Pokémon equipping this card is Incineroar, it can use Fake Out on the opponent's Pokémon at the start of each turn without needing to summon it!

"This card doesn't seem to be of much use, does it?"

Wu Shanyu was also somewhat surprised, as she knew how troublesome a high-five surprise attack could be.

But isn't the effect of this card redundant?

"..."

Amon did not speak.

Compared to Wushan Rain, only after creating the Pokémon series Amon will you realize just how valuable this card truly is.

Suddenly, Amon remembered something and took out the 'Gardedoll is the best' card from before, placing the two cards together.

"I see."

"Huh? What do you understand?" Wu Shanyu looked over blankly.

Amon didn't reply, but instead pondered.

He began to understand; this card was a matching set with the previous one—not for any particular effect or anything, but as a teaching template!

'Flip over three cards, then summon one of the Pokémon minions...' This seems a bit pointless.

But upon closer reflection, Amon realized that most of his Pokémon were Normal Summoned!

Special Summoning is almost nonexistent!

Aside from Mt. Moon being able to Special Summon Clefairy, the only way to Special Summon a Pokémon is to use cards like U-turn on the field.

What's truly valuable about this card is its Special Summon ability!

Amon understood why that card was placed in the reward card category—if nothing unexpected happened, this card should be able to bypass the summoning restrictions, allowing Amon to summon a Pokémon a third time in one turn!

If that's the case, then this card is very valuable.

What's expensive isn't the card itself, but the design philosophy behind it!

Amon glanced at the 'Gardedoll is the best' card in his hand, then turned his attention to another card.

—The Fiery Roaring Tiger, revered as a god!

If the previous card bypassed the restrictions on Pokémon summoning, this card bypasses the restrictions on Pokémon moves!

A fifth additional skill?

Do Pokémon have extra moves? Of course they do! The Duelist's hand cards are the Pokémon's extra moves.

This extra skill is actually an imitation of [Z-Moves] by Amon. It is a skill that is used by the card player and then activated by the Pokémon through the strong connection between the card player and the Pokémon.

If we have to talk about the relationship, this method is more like using Pokémon as a magic wand, and then the card player uses that wand to cast a spell.

However, this card is different.

This card gives Pokémon a whole new possibility!

"But the question is, how did this card achieve that?"

Amon flipped through the cards in his hand. He could understand the Gardevoir card, but he couldn't figure out the principle behind this one at all.

However, Amon has now figured out exactly how this card works, bypassing the Pokémon's move restrictions and adding a new move to the Pokémon!

"Perhaps, everyone assumes that the 'Blazing Roaring Tiger' should have the skill 'Five-Up Attack'."

Wu Shanyu suddenly spoke.

Looking at Amon, a hint of amusement suddenly appeared in her beautiful eyes: "I forgot, little brother Amon has only just entered high school. He probably doesn't have the same deep understanding as us seniors about the influence and connection between 'collective consciousness' and 'individual consciousness' on cards."

"Little brother Amon, do you know how my painting [Dreaming in the Empty Mountains - Rain in Wushan] was made?"

Wu Shanyu chuckled, but didn't keep her in suspense. She immediately explained, "It's [regret], regret for the duel's steps, remorse for making the wrong decision..."

"By bringing together this part of the collective consciousness, this card was ultimately created."

"—Young girls have the privilege of taking back their moves and acting cute."

Wushan Yu suddenly said this out of the blue.

But Amon's eyes widened slightly, because he had understood the principle behind the card from that sentence, and at the same time, he realized what he was missing!

The strength of Wushan Yu and her group is comprehensive.

Knowledge, insight, strength, intelligence, experience... all these factors have contributed to their reputation as the Silver Thirteen, making them famous throughout the country.

Amon, on the other hand, relied entirely on his talent to get to where he is today.
