Who needs a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

Rowe's command of Gardevoir's chaotic punches looked impressive, but in reality, they could only fool newcomers to Pokémon battles or those far weaker than Rowe.

In that case, there's no need to worry about techniques; just unleash a bunch of skills and you can kill the opponent.

However, if the opponent is thousands of miles away, then this kind of fighting style is meaningless. After all, the premise of skills is that they must be combined and used in the right place and at the right time to achieve sufficient effect.

With Lo Wei unleashing such a ton of skills, the only thing worth anticipating is perhaps the additional status ailments that might restrict Slaking...

However, both sides are currently standing on the field, and the field effect will continue to affect anyone who stands on it. In other words, neither side is currently affected by the abnormal status, not only Loewon's Gardevoir, but also Senri's Slaking.

Under these circumstances, there are no additional abnormal statuses triggered by these skills, so the skills only have their pure power. Throwing out skills haphazardly and without any coordination seems to be just a waste of output.

With just a single battle roar, the Thousand Mile King blew away most of the approaching attacks, and then followed up with another heavy hammer.

This time, Gardevoir once again used Teleport to try and dodge the attack...

...Gardedos, with its telepathic abilities, can almost evade all close-range attacks with its teleportation. However, this time, as Gardedos activated its teleportation, Slaking feinted with a heavy hammer and then launched a Giga Impact to its side.

Judging from any angle, that heavy hammer strike seemed to be a full-force attack from the Slave King, yet it was able to retract itself so easily.

If that was shocking enough, then the final impact that followed was even more unexpected...

Almost as soon as a flash of light appeared, Gardevoir appeared in the previously empty space. As soon as it teleported to its appearance, it looked up and saw a Giga Impact hurtling towards its face.

"!"

Not only were the spectators in the stands shocked, but Lore and Gardevoir were also stunned.

Mega Gardevoir's psychic abilities have been absurdly enhanced, and thanks to these absurd psychic powers... her telepathy has also been completely strengthened.

Under such circumstances, Gardevoir can almost predict all of its opponent's movements in advance and then use Teleport to escape.

Unexpectedly, the opposing Slaking was able to anticipate her teleportation position and directly block Gardevoir's retreat.

First came a feint with a heavy arm hammer, followed by this ultimate strike to defeat the enemy. Although only these two moves were used, they were far more effective than Luo Wei's previous wild punches.

In other words, the opponent's offensive strategy was very clear, and they had already anticipated Luo Wei's actions.

"..."

Gardevoir clearly has telepathy, yet its actions were read in advance by the opponent. Could it be that Slaking on the other side also has telepathy?

That's impossible, of course. King Request doesn't have telepathy, so there's only one explanation for this strange situation.

Under Senri's tutelage and with his extensive combat experience, Slaking was able to anticipate Gardevoir's movements and launch an attack ahead of time.

This doesn't rely on mystical powers like telepathy; it relies on genuine combat experience. It's the result of countless battles and trials, allowing one to summarize the opponent's behavioral patterns through rich experience and thus find a way to counter them.

It's like playing chess; you not only need to know how you're going to play, but also how your opponent will play, and then calculate two, three, or even four or five moves ahead based on their actions...

If you only focus on the immediate "one move" in chess, you'll never achieve anything, no matter how long you play. When competitive games reach their peak, they all ultimately converge on this one "predictive" move.

Loew's father was a master of this art, which is why he was able to see through Gardevoir's actions even though Gardevoir had mastered telepathy.

amazing……

...Although I could actually do the same thing using Gardevoir's telepathy, my dad did it based on experience.

Just like before, Slaking was able to break through his limits and unleash power similar to ultimate strength through training. In other words, what Senri can do, Luo Wei can basically do now as well, but Luo Wei has to rely on cheat codes and other tricks to assist him... while Senri relies on experience and strength to fight head-on.

This also aligns with the attribute he manipulates, the so-called "Normal Type," which is a kind of "miracle through sheer force," a simple power without any fancy tricks.

Although it's simple, it's by no means simplistic. Rather, it's not surprising that delicacies can be made delicious. The real skill lies in bringing out extraordinary flavors from simple ingredients...

Qianli mastered the Normal type, a type that is "commonplace" and even lacks distinctive features, to the extreme, which is why he became a gym leader recognized by the League.

"..."

The power of this Ultimate Impact was undeniable. Gardevoir could have continued to use Teleport to escape, but having just teleported to its current location, it hadn't had time to make any adjustments before landing and seeing this Ultimate Impact. Naturally, it had no way to avoid it.

The phrase "nowhere to dodge" means that this attack hit hard. Even though Gardevoir is very resilient, it couldn't withstand this attack. Its body swayed, and as a white light dissipated, it transformed from its Mega Evolution form back into its normal form.

To put it in a more easily understandable way, this is equivalent to Gardevoir being forcibly interrupted from its transformation, which can be considered a common trope of setbacks in tokusatsu films.

Although Gardevoir managed to withstand the attack by unleashing its Mega Evolution, it was essentially out of the fighting strength to continue.

Seeing this, Rowe decisively pulled out a Poké Ball...

...Gardedor's inherited power from Sylveon did not help her continue to defeat her enemies, and in the end she still lost to Slaking.

So it seems that Luo Wei's relay "passing on" tactic has failed?

Lowe, having recalled Gardevoir, sighed. At this moment, both he and Senri had only one Pokémon left, which meant that this was the final decisive moment.

Senri's last Pokémon was his ace, Slaking, while Lowe's last Pokémon was naturally his very first and final ace...

"...Alright, here we go, Masked Nyan!!!"

Chapter 204 The Decisive Move

Lowell has sent out his ace Pokémon. Now, both he and Senri have only one Pokémon left, which means this is the final deciding factor.

However, it seems that the last ace left by Lowe, Masked Cat, is no match for the opposing Slacker King.

After all, Gardevoir still has Mega Evolution, while Masked Cat only has Ultimate-level Z-Moves.

The only things worth mentioning are the terrain left by Sylveon and the artificial moon left by Gardevoir...

With this boost, can Masked Cat defeat the King of Absence? To be honest, the audience, and even the judges and referees including Dr. Birch, are not very optimistic...

...There is indeed a gap between Luo Wei's strength and Qian Li's. And Gardevoir's last series of wild punches, if not for Luo Wei's tactical arrangement, could be seen as a sign of "running out of tricks".

It seems that Lowe has run out of better ways to defeat his opponent, which is why he resorts to this reckless and chaotic tactic. This kind of reckless tactic is something that only a novice trainer would use, and it greatly lowers his rating.

Of course, considering that Rowe did indeed defeat Thousand Miles' two Pokémon, at least based on his performance in the first two rounds, Rowe's strength is already quite impressive.

It's understandable that he couldn't defeat Qianli, or rather, it's understandable that he was mentally broken by the ridiculously strong Qianli.

Most of the trainers who watched the battle honestly admitted that they probably wouldn't have been able to beat the Pink Devil Chansey with its Wailing Wall in Qianli's hands, let alone the Kangaskhan that followed...

...As for losing to the ace, the one who asks for leave, there's nothing shameful about it.

However, Luo Wei's expression did not seem to indicate that he had lost control of his emotions due to the defeat. At least for now, he seemed to be maintaining a fairly calm and composed demeanor, and did not appear to have been emotionally broken.

If that's the case, then wasn't the previous behavior simply an emotional outburst, but rather part of a real tactic?

Or perhaps, it was simply Gardevoir's departure that calmed Lore down?

Both scenarios seem possible, but at least the audience can be certain of one thing: what follows is the final round that will decide the outcome.

There was no need to test each other; by now, both father and son were well aware of their own strengths and weaknesses.

Or to be more precise, Luo Wei roughly understood just how strong his father was, and that he could achieve what he himself could only do through cheating, simply by training.

Of course, Qianli was also very pleased, because Luo Wei's current strength was much greater than when Qianli was the same age.

In other words, Qianli's current advantage over Luo Wei is not due to talent, but simply the result of years of hard work and dedication.

In other words, as long as Luo Wei undergoes another ten years of training and does not slack off in his cultivation, reaching the same level as Qianli is entirely possible. Qianli can now be so certain of this.

Although Luo Wei had shown considerable talent in the past, talent is talent, and whether it can be transformed into concrete strength depends on the actual situation.

It's not that high talent necessarily translates into ability. Many people have top-notch talent, but they are only good at theory and are quite incompetent when it comes to actual practice.

What makes Luo Wei outstanding is that everyone has witnessed his terrifying growth. He is not only exceptionally talented, but also possesses the ability to transform that terrifying talent into real strength.

Having confirmed this, Qianli no longer cared about the outcome of the battle; he had already acknowledged Luo Wei's efforts in his heart.

Of course, although he doesn't care about the outcome, he certainly wouldn't hold back in this situation, as that would be an insult to both sides' efforts.

"...Use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve, or you won't have another chance."

Qianli made such a declaration, and he was naturally qualified to make such a declaration. Luo Wei also calmed himself down and seriously got into a fighting stance.

"Yes, of course I understand. So... this is my last resort, Masked Nyan..."

Luo Wei didn't say much. He only needed to call out "Masked Meow" and the other party immediately understood. After all, the tacit understanding cultivated over the years was not for nothing.

Of course, Masked Meow was well aware of Slaking's strength. After all, Slaking had not only watched Rowe grow up, but he had also been there when Rowe trained Shin-chan.

In other words, Slacker is the mentor of both Levi and Masked Cat...

This time, Luo Wei and Masked Cat are simultaneously challenging "Father" and "Master"!

After all, in the world of Pokémon, there is no difference between Pokémon and humans. Pokémon are also family. Senri is Rowe's father, so naturally Meowth is also regarded as his child. In Slaking's eyes, there is no difference between Rowe and Meowth.

This is what inheritance is...

...humans and humans, humans and Pokémon, Pokémon and Pokémon

Next, it will be the final decisive moment!

Lowe got into position, his whole body bursting with flames once again, while Masked Meow also took a step and leaped into the air. This time, she didn't use any fancy moves, but simply gathered pink light on her fist and prepared to unleash a Fairy-type Z-Move enhanced with ultimate power.

On the other side, Qianli had no more tricks up his sleeve at this point. He asked for a burst of energy from his entire body, and in his raised palm, light was visibly gathering.

This ultimate impact was launched first, and a sharp sound of air being torn apart was heard, followed by a powerful impact!

Luo Wei's side didn't back down either. The artificial moon in the sky reflected the figure of Masked Cat, and at that moment, the entire artificial moon descended from the sky in sync with Masked Cat's movements...

Since it's the final blow anyway, there's no need to worry about endurance or the terrain. Just gather all available power and concentrate it into this final attack...

This is what it means...

"...Our final blow!"

The ultimate impact struck first, the violent shockwave seemed to push the falling moon back, but Masked Cat was not afraid of the oncoming impact and directly swung out its cat claws!

The falling moon transformed into a silvery light. After all, it was not a physical entity to begin with, but merely an illusion formed from psychic energy. At this moment, it was simply being reconstituted into psychic energy.

The blessing was bestowed upon Masked Cat, and the entire aura permeating the venue also converged upon Masked Cat.

The Ultimate Impact clashed with this enhanced Z-Move, and in an instant, the two sides were locked in a fierce battle...

At that very moment, Lowe gave the final command...

"...Now, the final tactic!"

Behind Slaking, a semi-transparent phantom appeared, and that phantom resembled the Mega Gardevoir from before...

"...To foresee the future!!!"
