Who needs a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

Its distinctive feature is naturally the pouch on its chest, in which the salamander would raise its young. Of course, this is a design based on reality.

The game will feature individuals that have just hatched from their eggs... This includes the design of pouches and baby Kangaskhan, which is naturally a compromise for gameplay. It is possible that a degenerate form of Kangaskhan will be added in the future to make up for this design flaw.

Similar designs include Cubone, which wears its mother's skull as a mask, and the bizarre design of a newly hatched Pokémon wearing a mask. In short, these are all bugs left in the Pokédex information from the first generation of Pokémon design that conflict with the game's settings.

Of course, it's not impossible to explain it if you really want to, but that's not the point. As one of the original Pokémon designed, Kangaskhan is quite popular and performs reasonably well in battles.

Of course, this is incomparable to a certain peak era that followed. As the game progressed and the new Mega Evolution system was added, Kangaskhan received its own epic upgrade.

In short, asking who the strongest Pokémon in the series of battles is is a question that will drive anyone crazy, but asking about the strongest battle abilities, those two abilities are at least in the top ten...

...The Wings of Gale and...Parental Love!

If Rowe were to evaluate these two characteristics, he could only think of one evaluation...

...Are you crazy?! This kind of overpowered feature, which even my grandma could easily dominate with, how did it manage to survive until its release?!

If you were just a PVE game, that would be one thing, but you have a large and stable PVP audience!

Even though Rowe was a complete Pokédex user and didn't have much in-depth knowledge of battles, he had still heard of the infamous names of these two ferocious gods who dominated the meta.

There's nothing we can do about it. After all, anyone who can read should understand how terrifying these two abilities are. Back then, Lowell thought that the ability "Changeable" was already pretty amazing, but considering that a Pokémon can only carry a maximum of four moves, "Changeable" can only change four types at most.

Considering that you will most likely need to carry offensive skills related to your own type, in most cases, the ability to change freely is equivalent to having one or two extra attributes. Moreover, since the ability to change freely becomes a single attribute, it will lose the bonus of composite attributes.

Therefore, adaptability is a very strong trait, but it is not blindly strong. It is a trait that requires at least an accurate judgment of the situation in order to bring out its maximum effect.

However, features like Parental Love and Gale Wings make the gameplay extremely simplistic and mindless.

Okay, so why bring this up here? Because Rowe clearly saw his father's Kangaskhan pull the baby Kangaskhan out of his pouch, and the two Kangaskhan, one big and one small, stood side by side...

...This scene would likely make most trainers who experienced that generation faint.

She's here! She's here! Boss, she's here!

Rowe wasn't surprised that his father's Kangaskhan could use the "parental love" technique even though it couldn't Mega Evolve. After all, in reality, it just meant that both Kangaskhan and Kangaskhan would appear together.

There's absolutely no need to mega-grow; this is an effect that can be achieved simply through training.

Anyway, Luo Wei felt that if it was her own father's trained Kangaskhan, it would be perfectly reasonable for the mother and daughter to fight together.

Luo Wei already felt he should be grateful that the man didn't create a scene where three generations of his family appeared on stage together...

In short, Luo Wei didn't think much of it and simply raised his hand and waved...

The effects of the Misty Terrain are still there, and the attribute bonuses are still effective. Although the attribute boost from Meditation was completely wiped out by the opponent's gift, Rowe is confident that he can still put up a fight thanks to the Z-Move bonuses.

and so……

Luo Wei clenched his right fist, and golden flames ignited all over his body once again...

...As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and this is the third time, so naturally everyone is used to it.

Now that things have come to this, everyone has become indifferent to the fact that Luo Wei continues to use cheats. It's true that you get used to it; after seeing such ridiculous cheats so many times, you actually start to think it's "natural."

However, while the onlookers might not care, Qianli certainly wouldn't. He had fully confirmed Luo Wei's firepower, which was able to take down his carefully nurtured Chansey in one shot even with full enhancements, demonstrating that its firepower had reached a remarkably high level.

This is of course due to the combined effects of multiple factors, including ultimate power, the environment, and various other effects, while Thousand Miles' Chansey only relies on training to enhance its strength.

Regardless of the specifics, whether it's Z-Moves or Mega Evolution, these powers belong to the trainer and the Pokémon. It can't be said that these things rely on "external forces" to cheat; they are also part of one's strength.

After all, without these special advantages, no matter how talented Luo Wei was, he could not possibly defeat his father at full strength in a head-on battle.

The opponent is also a genius, and has never slacked off in his cultivation for a single day. He has put in just as much effort as anyone else. Without some extra factors, it would be impossible to win.

But things are different now, and Qianli's rich combat experience allowed him to immediately find a way to deal with it.

Sylveon's attack power is inherently strong, but it still relies on the terrain and boosts. Now that boosts have been removed, you only need to worry about the terrain. And this difference in attack power can be dealt with in a very simple way...

As long as this side is also strengthened, there won't be any problems.

In general, the most commonly used enhancement moves are nothing more than sword dance and meditation, and there are also enhancement moves like belly drum, which have negative effects but can maximize attributes in one go.

However, without exception, these power-up moves all require additional turns. Just like now, if Chansey's attack hadn't been blocked, Sylveon wouldn't have had the chance to use Calm Mind...

When using enhanced moves, weaknesses will be revealed, so it is important to seize the right moment to use them. But what if you combine enhanced skills with attacks?

"Boost Fist!"

Two Kangaskhan, one large and one small, closed in on each other in an instant. Kangaskhan has a base Speed ​​stat of 90, which is already quite good. After Mega Evolution, Kangaskhan breaks through the top tier with a Speed ​​stat of 100.

The speed line of 90 is a watershed, and 100 is the line between life and death. At this point, a difference of one or two points in speed could mean the difference between life and death!

Sylveon didn't boost its speed, so it ended up being quickly approached by Kangaskhan...

"...A wall of light!"

Knowing the danger, Lowe immediately raised his hand and had Sylveon unleash a Light Screen, while Kangaskhan was already launching two punches from the front and back...

Chapter 198 Let's take the baton; this is my final meditation.

The two Kangaskhan, one large and one small, raised their hands and punched towards Sylveon. Of course, Rowe couldn't just stand by and watch. Even though he didn't have time to move to defend, he at least put up a Light Screen to try to block it.

The first punch shattered the light wall the instant it made contact. After all, it was standing on a mist field instead of a psychic field, so it couldn't enhance the strength of its psychic power. Sylveon's psychic power was strong, but it was still no match for Kangaskhan, which had been painstakingly trained over a long period of time.

The moment the light wall was shattered by a punch, Kangaskhan followed up with another powerful punch. This time, Sylveon barely managed to move its tentacles to form a barrier in front of it. The fist grazed the barrier, and a loud bang was heard as it cut through the air...

A shockwave visibly erupted from behind Sylveon, tearing a terrifying trench in the ground. Fortunately, Sylveon itself did not appear to be seriously injured.

After all, Power-Up Punch is a Fighting-type move, and Sylveon already has a relative resistance to it, while Kangaskhan doesn't have the STAB (STAB) damage bonus of Fighting-type moves.

Furthermore, Kangaskhan's type is not as good as Kangaskhan's, so this punch alone is not enough to threaten Sylveon and instantly render her unable to battle...

However, although the first punch was blocked by the light screen, the second punch still hit. With the additional effect of the power punch triggered, Kangaskhan instantly increased its physical attack by one stage.

The most terrifying thing about the baby Kangaskhan is that all its attacks become two-stage attacks. Although the power of the second attack is only a quarter of the normal power, this is because the baby Kangaskhan's type is indeed not as good as the adult Kangaskhan's.

However, the damage increase of a quarter of the damage is already terrifying. After all, if the damage is directly doubled, would other players still be able to compete?

The most terrifying aspect of this characteristic is that the additional effects can also be determined in two stages: Crunch lowers Defense, Rock Slide causes Cowardice, and at this moment, Kangaskhan's Power Punch will also increase Attack by two stages!

That's equivalent to the power of a Sword Dance. Moreover, Sword Dance itself is an enhancement skill that wastes a turn. You have to choose the right time to use it, otherwise you can easily be wiped out on the spot because you're enhancing the skill while the other side unleashes a powerful attack.

In turn-based games, the timing of applying buffs and healing is an art. Mastering it well allows for opportunistic coordination, snowballing an advantage.

If not handled properly, it's very likely that you'll get a buff on one side and then have it wiped out on the other, or you'll recover some health on one side and then get hit by a powerful attack that wipes out all the health you recovered.

The key to turn-based games lies in achieving a good balance between offense and defense. However, due to the characteristics of parental love, skills like Enhancement Punch have become combos with buffs.

Not only is it equivalent to getting a free Sword Dance, but you can also deal damage at the same time, perfectly combining buffing and damage dealing...

"..."

If Kangaskhan continues to boost its stats, the pressure will continue to fall on the next Pokémon to be used. If you switch out here, it may leave the opponent an opening to further strengthen their stats.

In short, since the opponent is using a powerful punch to close the distance, we should keep our distance and prevent the threat from getting close.

"A flash of lightning!"

Sylveon's speed was still inferior to Kangaskhan's, so it could only try to create distance using its moves. As it moved, a series of light screens appeared between them. Loewon attempted to use a combination of light screens and Quick Attack to block the opponent's attacks, but...

"……earthquake!"

Without showing any mercy, Senri abandoned the tactic of pursuing, and Kangaskhan stomped his foot hard on the ground. Even though Rowe wasn't on the stage, he could clearly feel a tremor under his feet at that moment.

This earthquake, enhanced with enhanced physical attack, sent shockwaves rippled across the entire arena. The violent tremors shattered the light walls that had been set up, and even the pink aura covering the entire arena dissipated considerably due to the earthquake.

"..."

Lowe immediately felt the pressure. The opponent's offensive swept across the entire field in an instant. The two Kangaskhan worked together, exchanging blows and continuously shaking the ground, creating a series of earthquakes that suppressed the field. Sylveon could only rely on its psychic powers to take off and avoid the tremors in mid-air.

However, the other side clearly also has ways to deal with things that fly in the air...

The earthquake sent up a series of boulders, which Kangaskhan swung his hand and sent flying into the air. The flying boulders, carrying a sharp momentum and a visible aura, crashed down again.

The earthquake, combined with a rockfall, blocked Luo Wei's retreat route from both above and below. Seeing this, Luo Wei knew that Sylveon's firepower wouldn't be enough to stop this attack.

If that's the case...

no way……

"……meditation!"

With the attacks from above and below about to merge, and knowing that he couldn't dodge this wave, Loewy simply had Sylveon abandon its defense and directly use Meditation while wedged in the gap.

By relying on meditation, Sylveon increased its Special Attack and Special Defense. However, in this situation, even with its Special Attack increased, Sylveon could not break through the opponent's Kangaskhan's offensive. All Loew could do was the last thing.

The combined attack and the falling rock slammed into Sylveon, and Sylveon used this hard-hitting attack to activate Meditation and boost its stats.

The second wave of Rock Slide had already landed. If the previous Power Punch from Kangaskhan wasn't enough to cause too much damage to Sylveon, then this wave of Rock Slide was already pushing Sylveon to its limit.

Regardless, she couldn't withstand the second wave of Rock Slide. Knowing that Sylveon had no strength left to continue the battle, Rowe raised his hand and took out the second Poké Ball from his waist. Sylveon also used its last move before being engulfed by the attack...

...The baton!

Alternating white light enveloped Sylveon, and the audience in the stands were equally tense. After all, Sylveon's image and appearance were what they were looking for, and seeing such a cute creature injured would inevitably evoke some sympathy.

But that's Pokémon battles, and just as my heart was in my throat, the second wave of Rock Slide came crashing down.

Sylveon's body was enveloped in white light at the last moment, and immediately afterward, the falling rockfall froze in an instant...

The baton is a skill that allows the user to switch out of the field while passing on their buffs to the next teammate.

As the skill name suggests, it transfers everything it possesses to the next partner, gaining the Sylveon's Meditation effect. This is Loewol's second Pokémon to appear shortly after...

The falling rocks froze mid-air, and the Super Queen, clad in a white dress, revealed herself...

...Gardedor, here we come!

Chapter 199 Relay Tactics

Gardevoir received the Meditation from Sylveon's final Baton Pass, allowing it to enter the battle with a boost to its Special Attack. Facing the second Rock Slide, it easily controlled it with its enhanced Psychic.

"The efforts of our fallen comrades will never be in vain. Every bit of strength they expended was laying the foundation for the final victory. This is our 'legacy'!"

Lowe hadn't forgotten that besides the duel, he also had a placement match for the Grand Festival, and the theme Lowe had chosen this time was "Inheritance"...

The duel between father and son, the passing down of wills, certainly fits the theme of "inheritance" very well, but if that's all there is to it, it can only be considered to be just right in terms of relevance.

What Luo Wei needs to do is not simply to put on the theme of "inheritance" and consider it relevant; what he needs to do is to integrate the theme of "inheritance" into his entire tactical system!
