Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 457 Zhu Lan's Acting Skills, He Yue Unleashes Her Power (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Garchomp lay on the ground, unable to fight. It never expected to be defeated in this way, but luck is also a kind of strength.

Cynthia's Lucario Swords Dance Triple is practically a team wipe in a typical Pokémon battle; it's like a true One-Punch Man.

Especially in the world's top tournaments like the Masters Tournament, once the opponent controls the pace of the game, the chances of a comeback are greatly reduced, unless you pull out an overpowered Pokémon from your crotch.

"What a headwind..."

Naruto recalled Garchomp and indeed felt some pressure after a long time. With Sword Dance Triple and Divine Speed, who could withstand that? Since tactics weren't working, he might as well not use them at all.

He thought for a moment and then threw the Poké Ball.

With a series of heavy footsteps, many spectators who thought the situation was settled were startled and couldn't help but look back at the competition field below.

Cynthia was also briefly taken aback, looking at the fierce-looking figure that emerged from the Poké Ball. She tossed her hair back, her smile returning. It seemed that victory wasn't so easily assured.

He Yue makes a long-awaited appearance. Zhu Lan has not forgotten that when she fought Xiao Zhao, she lost to Xiao Zhao's Moon Bear. This He Yue seems to be even stronger than that Moon Bear. But she is no longer the same person she was back then!

"Heyue, let's go!"

Mingyou smiled, waved, and shouted.

"Awooo!"

Under the influence of the poisonous talisman, He Yue's lazy gaze suddenly turned fierce, and a powerful aura spread from her body, startling the audience into screaming.

Thinking back to this, it seems to be the same strange bear that easily defeated the Martial Arts Bear Master during the Junior Cup. This thing is definitely over the top!

This time it was finally Naruto's turn to take the initiative, but Cynthia showed no intention of backing down. Her confidence lay in her Triple Sword Dance, not to mention Lucario's absolute type advantage.

"Approach with lightning speed, then engage in close combat!"

Lucario reacted to the sound and arrived in front of Heyue in almost an instant, before the camera could even keep up. But before it could throw a punch, a heavy bear paw pressed down on its chest and slammed it to the ground, releasing the power of the earth.

In an instant, dust flew up.

Lucario was immediately struck hard. Cynthia didn't even have time to react to what had happened, but she quickly came to her senses and looked at Heyue's dark left eye.

"Did you see through the movements with your inner eye?"

"Perhaps it's just combat experience!"

Mingyou responded with a smile, "Since we can't beat them in strength, let's rely on our fighting skills to deal with them. That's the strongest bear on earth!"

This sudden reversal surprised all the spectators present. Triple Swords Dance was actually countered? Discussion: You've already predicted that a certain Pokémon will be banned in the next World Championship.

"They are indeed very strong, but it's not over yet!"

Cynthia maintained her smile, raised her hand and snapped her fingers. Lucario also stood up at that moment. "Since you have ample combat experience, then we will rely on Aura to see through your movements and then counterattack."

Lucario's eyes turned blue again, and it used its divine speed. Instead of launching a direct attack, it began to run in circles around the moon, and then transformed into countless figures.

The plan is to use a shadow clone to make He Yue use her Mind's Eye to see through the illusion and launch an attack, so that they can seize the weakness and defeat her in one fell swoop.

He Yue remained completely unmoved. Ming You had already seen through Zhu Lan's tactics, but she herself had no tactics at all and just wanted to charge in.

"Attack them all, earthquake!"

The moment the words fell, all the Lucarios leaped into the air, blotting out the sky, and rushed towards Heyue like dumplings being dropped into a pot. Cynthia had already figured out that they would use Earthquake.

Two fists can't beat four hands, and now there are who knows how many hands there are!

Seeing this, all the viewers felt a pang of anxiety. Could they win?

"It's probably impossible to retaliate, right?"

Dan Di couldn't give a definite answer either. The bear gave him a very unusual feeling. He could tell that Zhu Lan wanted to lure the other party into using some kind of ability that could ignore shadow clones, but was it really necessary?

In that instant, the green field fell silent. He Yue endured attacks from countless shadows, some of which contained wave guides, their purpose being to confuse the audience and conceal the true form within them.

At this moment, Zhu Lan slowly opened her eyes, her platinum-gold eyes flashing with disbelief. The waveguide... had disappeared, which meant...

On the field, all the clones vanished in an instant.

Heyue stood still, enduring so many attacks without moving an inch. Yet, it held Lucario tightly by the neck, grabbing the main body with pinpoint accuracy amidst the attacks of countless clones, without relying on its inner eye.

"Awooo!"

Don't underestimate me, you little puppy!

As Heyue's cry faded, Lucario was also slammed to the ground with a bear paw. The power of the earth was released at this moment, and even Triple Sword Dance was completely insignificant in the face of absolute combat experience.

Seeing Lucario fall like that, the entire arena fell silent for a moment, until Mingyou's friends and family took Qi Nu away, which brought the place back to life.

"We need to be careful around this bear!"

Dan Di watched intently, already considering Ming You as the strongest rival in this Master Tournament.

"Did we lose to the bear again...?"

Cynthia sighed softly and recalled Lucario. How could such a huge advantage be overturned? What's wrong with these Pokémon? It was obvious that this bear's experience was different from theirs in battles. It had experienced many life-and-death battles and had incredibly pure combat experience.

Xiong Er and Xiong Da take turns losing.

Fortunately, this incident did cause considerable damage to Xiongda, as well as the effects of poisoning. Although Mingyou had one more Pokémon than her, two of them were in poor condition.

"Come back!"

Mingyou recalled Heyue, but the poisoned state still had a significant impact. If the opponent were to adopt a roundabout tactic, Heyue might not be able to survive. However, it was enough to take down Lucario with its Triple Sword Dance.

The field was empty again. Cynthia paused for a moment before the second round began. She gently held the Poké Ball in her hand, smiled, and threw it. At the same time, Yuu also threw her Poké Ball, and Rockruff and Latias appeared on the field at the same time.

Seeing Latias appear, the audience recalled the scene from the switching match. Could it be that Naruto is going to Mega Evolve here and then sweep through the competition?

However, Mingyou did not use Mega Evolution. Since Latias was flying in the air, it was naturally not affected by Toxic Spikes. Although it was completely countered by type, it didn't matter, as its main strategy was to deal damage against type disadvantages.

"Dragon Pulse!"

"Waaah!"

Latias revealed a fierce yet adorable expression, gathered dragon energy, and swept it downwards. However, the Rockruff immediately launched a surprise attack, dragging the Wedge Stone with its spiritual power, and took the lead in launching an attack, arriving in front of Latias... not behind it, but in front of it.

Just as Latias was about to be attacked, he took the damage from the Dragon Pulse head-on!

"Um?"

Mingyou was slightly taken aback. Had she made a mistake?

As the Flower Rock Monster plummeted from the sky, billowing smoke, the audience was completely bewildered. What kind of operation was this? Who launches a surprise attack like this?

Zhu Lan also looked surprised, as if it really was caused by Hua Yan Guai's mistake. In a battlefield of this level, any small mistake could have very serious consequences.

Mingyou naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. Seeing the Flower Rock Monster about to crash to the ground, he immediately shouted, "Aim at the ground with Meteor Shower!"

"Waaah!"

Latias lowered his head, opened his mouth, and his body emitted an orange light. A ball of light, condensed with terrifying energy, was enveloped in a pale yellow light and shot straight down. But at that moment, Zhu Lan's lips curled into a calculating smile.

Mingyou had been paying attention to the other trainer and Pokémon's condition and seemed to have noticed something, but it was too late. At the moment the meteor shower exploded on the ground, a black streak shot into the sky, wrapped around Latias's body, and pulled it down.

Shared Fate Activation!

The Flower Rock Monster deliberately made a mistake, all for this moment. Latias panicked and began to struggle, but it was always afraid of ghosts. At this moment, countless evil ghost images surged in its mind, instantly devouring it. Its vision went black, and it lay on the ground, never to move again.

Tie!

Latias, who was considered one of the ace players of Mingyou by the audience, was defeated in such a way, which caused an uproar in the audience. Even the other players watching the game were very surprised. Logically speaking, this kind of tactic should have been predictable, right?

Hearing Sha Li's excited voice beside her, Xiao Zhao sighed helplessly, "Oh dear, how could I have been fooled by such acting? I trusted Sister Zhu Lan too much. Remember, you two are rivals now."

Watching Latias be defeated without any highlights, Lillie, who was also in the audience, looked worried. Beside her, Gladion crossed his arms and chuckled, saying, "That strange bear and Latias must be his trump cards in this match."

"Brother, how did you know?"

"After all, there are still matches to come. He can't possibly reveal all his cards. Now that he's lost one and a half, he'll probably have to stop here, haha."

Gladius is eager for Mingyou to lose. If you climb higher and higher, what am I supposed to do? Won't it be difficult to meet you again in the next competition?

On the field.

Watching Mingyou recall Latias, Zhulan nodded slightly and muttered, "Latias, Latias, Garchomp, and Seraphim are all down. Luna and Serperior are still in poor condition. As for the last one, that should be the main event of this match, right?"

Unlike Gladion, who is simple-minded, she is very familiar with Naruto. Naruto always brings out heavyweight Pokémon as his trump card, and so far, Naruto has not used the battle system.

It seems they're saving their strongest lineup for last, pulling out all the stops to face themselves. If they could meet in the finals, perhaps we'd see Naruto's most powerful team. It's just a pity we won't be able to...
