What should I do if my pet loves watching anime?

"Insect resistance!" The sturdy young man's expression darkened slightly, and he immediately changed tactics.

A layer of pale purple insect-type energy ripples appeared on the surface of the pot-shaped shell and spread rapidly.

Bug Resistance is a Bug-type special attack. It is not very powerful, but it can effectively lower the opponent's Special Attack.

Pale silver ripples swept across Mali the sheep.

Mare the sheep stiffened, feeling as if the special attack energy within its body was enveloped by an invisible membrane, causing its circulation to become somewhat sluggish.

Special attack power has been reduced!

This is a significant weakening for Mareep, which relies on electric shocks and the Power Gem.

"Roll, again!" The sturdy young man tried to regroup.

But Gu Beiri won't give him that chance.

"Now! Draft, full speed ahead, close in!"

Mareep suppressed the discomfort of its weakened Special Attack, and the grass-green energy under its feet burst forth, instantly boosting its speed to the limit, like a golden arrow, shooting straight at Shuttle!

"Want to get close? Pot, round it up, and prepare to endure!" The sturdy young man reacted extremely quickly.

The pot-shaped object immediately curled up even tighter, its shell gleaming, while a tenacious energy began to accumulate within it!

A classic defensive counter-attacking tactic!

If Mareep launches a strong attack right now, it will likely be countered twice by Shuckle's patience, resulting in a severe blow!

A gasp rippled through the audience.

"Oh no! We're about to run into Ninja Tabi!"

"That Mare the sheep is too fast, it probably can't stop, right?"

In a flash, a sly glint appeared in Gu Beiri's eyes.

"It's not an attack! It's an electromagnetic wave, an electromagnetic wave released right at your face!"

At that moment, someone in the audience finally noticed and exclaimed in surprise.

Just before Mare was about to crash into Shuttle's shell, it stomped its hooves on the ground, forcefully changing its momentum and narrowly escaping Shuttle with a dangerous side slide!

At the same time, a ring of extremely fine but highly concentrated golden electric arcs burst forth from its body, enveloping the pot-pot's body tucked inside its shell at almost zero distance!

Electromagnetic waves, a change-type skill, paralyze the opponent!

"Sizzle—!"

The fine electric arc penetrated the tiny crevices of the pot-shaped shell and seeped into its body.

The energy fluctuations that the pot had been accumulating and enduring suddenly became chaotic, and its body involuntarily trembled slightly, with a few uncontrolled sparks flying across its carapace.

Paralysis activated!

Although the paralysis effect may not be as significant as against other Pokémon due to Shuckle's extreme stat distribution resulting in low speed, it is still sufficient!

Its smoothness of movement and speed of skill combos will inevitably be affected.

More importantly—the activation of patience has been disrupted!

"Now's the time! Draft the attack section, aim at the junction of the carapace!"

Gu Beiri's orders came like a sudden storm.

The moment Mareep finished its side slide, it forcibly twisted its body. Although it did not have a Grass-type energy blade above its head, it gathered the light green energy with cutting properties unique to Grass-type moves and slammed it into the gap between Shuckle's shell and its bottom soft tissue!

Is he trying to hold back and then launch an attack?

Then you'll have to stick your head out of that turtle shell!

If you stick your tongue out, you'll get beaten!

Mareep's move isn't a standard Grass-type attack, but rather a variation that combines the Grass-type physical attack characteristic of Grass-type with Mareep's own Charge attack!

"Bang!"

A pale green light exploded at the connection point.

The pot let out a painful thud, its body was thrown back half a meter by the impact, and a faint crack appeared at the junction of its carapace and body, from which a little juice seeped out.

Even though the physical power of this attack was not strong, it hit the pot's relative weakness squarely!

"Pot!" The sturdy young man's expression changed.

"It's not over yet! Electric shocks, continuous attacks, breaking through the enemy's defenses point by point!"

Mare the sheep gave Potpot no chance to adjust, and one electric shock after another, like a precise scalpel, bombarded the area around the newly appeared crack!

When a pot is paralyzed, its movements are a beat slower, and it doesn't have time to fully contract or change direction.

"Boom boom boom boom—!"

Dense bursts of electric light continuously exploded in the same area of ​​the pot-shaped shell.

The charred marks rapidly expanded and deepened.

The cracks are spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Roll, roll it quickly!" the sturdy young man shouted urgently.

The pot tried to spin again, but the stiffness from the numbness and the pain at the joint distorted its movements, making its rolling slow and its direction unstable.

"Finish it off! Power Gem, maximum damage!"

Mare the sheep took a deep breath and poured all the remaining energy in its body, along with the amplification of the electric field, into the space between its horns.

The amber crystals were more brilliant and solid than ever before, with starlight flowing inside as if it were about to overflow.

A beam of amber light, as blazing as lava and as solid as matter, tore through the air and, with a piercing shriek, struck the deepest part of the cracks in the shell of the pot-shaped vessel with unparalleled precision!

"boom--!!!"

A deafening explosion!

The dazzling amber light engulfed most of the pot's body.

The cracking sound of the shell breaking was clearly audible.

The light dissipated.

The pot-shaped object lay face up in the center of the arena, its shell covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and in the center was a shocking charred hole with traces of melting around the edges.

Its eyes had turned into swirls, and it had lost its ability to fight.

On the field, the crackling of electricity and the slight hum of energy dissipation gradually subsided.

Mare the sheep stood not far away, its chest heaving violently, its body emitting weak static electricity, clearly also nearing its limit.

But it held its head high, its eyes bright, and looked at Gu Beiri.

Gu Beiri slowly exhaled the breath he had been holding, only then realizing that his palms were already soaked with sweat.

"Huhu is unable to fight, the winner is Gu Beiri!" the referee announced loudly.

There was a moment of silence in the audience, followed by enthusiastic applause and discussion.

"They won?! That Mare the sheep actually beat Potpot?"

"That was brilliant! The final barrage of attacks!"

"That Mareep's skill set and tactical execution... is it really a one-star trainer?"

The sturdy young man silently put away the teapot and walked over to shake hands with Gu Beiri.

"It was a very tough battle," he said sincerely. "Your Mareep is very well-trained, and your tactical adjustments are quick. I didn't lose unjustly."

"Thank you, your pot's defense is really strong," Gu Beiri replied politely.

As Gu Beiri left the battlefield, the arena terminal on his wrist vibrated.

Match Result: Win

Points earned: 25

Current points: 125

【Star Rating: One Star (125/500)】

The first battle was won.

Gu Beiri let out a long breath; he had finally succeeded.

"generally."

Just then, Zhao Wumian appeared behind Gu Beiri like a ghost, speaking calmly.

"Huh?! Uh, teacher."

Gu Beiri was startled. When did Zhao Wumian get behind him?

"With such a lack of vigilance, you wouldn't even know if someone assassinated you one day."

Zhao Wumian remained as sharp-tongued as ever.

Gu Beiri was speechless.

"The reason we were able to win this game is because the pot trainer played to his strengths and avoided his weaknesses."

If he uses rolling tactics to drag you out, and Mareep runs out of stamina and can no longer dodge or move quickly, I can't imagine how I could lose.

However, given his tactical approach, he probably wouldn't have thought to add healing abilities to Potpot.
