Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

Even while paralyzed, Aggron overcame its physical discomfort with sheer willpower and met Baneling's attack head-on.

Moreover, he stubbornly persisted with this skill.

It can exert twice the power when a Pokémon is afflicted with a status condition.

The sharp rock scraped against the heavy steel, producing a screeching sound.

The surrounding audience all covered their ears.

... ...

The two giant beasts collided and quickly separated.

Aggron's desperate attempt to hold on resulted in it colliding with Tyranitar's rock armor.

Tiny cracks have appeared.

However, the impact is not significant. Even if the power of this skill is doubled, it is still a Normal-type skill.

The rock-type Tyranitar has good resistance.

In contrast, Bosscodora is in a much worse situation.

He withstood a powerful attack, leaving numerous scratches on his body.

Both sides sustained injuries of varying degrees, but it's clear to anyone with eyes to see.

Haoyan had completely gained the upper hand.

It's only a matter of time before Daigo's Aggron is defeated.

... ...

Chapter 471 Super Lucario VS Super Metagross

In the guest seating area.

"Teacher Haoyan, you've already devised a strategy from the moment you saw your opponent's first Pokémon!" Sabrina suddenly said.

"what!"

"Was it designed from the very beginning?"

Adek looked at Naz in surprise, not because he doubted her, but because he didn't believe her.

How could a tactic be designed in such a short time!

After all, it involves both sides releasing their Pokémon and then starting the battle.

It only took a few seconds!

How could anyone devise a strategy in such a short time?

“That’s right!” Naz nodded with absolute certainty.

Naz's affirmative attitude drew everyone's attention to her.

Yes, Hao Yan's tactics were indeed very successful, but what makes Na Zi so sure that Hao Yan had planned it from the beginning?

Faced with the questioning looks from the crowd, Natsumi calmly said, "The initial earthquake was not a test from the teacher."

"It was the teacher who did it on purpose."

"Tyranitar uses Earthquake, a Ground-type move, which can cause great damage to Aggron."

"And to stop Tyranitar's attack, Daigo only has two choices."

"The first option is to use defensive measures, and the second option is to use earthquake counter-attacks."

"At the very beginning, Daigo will obviously not choose to passively defend, but will take the initiative to attack."

"Disrupting the field is a key part of the teacher's tactics."

"Next, it was entirely within the teacher's expectations that Daigo would have Aggron use Kickdown."

"Because in Aggron's skill pool, Kick is the skill that maximizes the damage to Tyranitar."

"From then on, Daigo had completely fallen into the trap set by his teacher."

After Naz's explanation, everyone quickly sorted out their thoughts.

Was Daigo's approach wrong?

That's right!

On the contrary, that's correct!

Even if it were anyone else, it would be the same.

Haoyan took advantage of this point and completely grasped Daigo's psychology.

"What brilliant tactics!"

"What a quick mind!"

Everyone in the guest seats deeply admired Haoyan for being able to formulate tactics in such a short time.

Furthermore, he admired Haoyan's thorough understanding of the other party's mindset and actions.

Watching the battle from the window, Wallace thought to himself, "God's Aggron won't last much longer..."

"This is a very passive start..."

... ...

"Little S, Flame Fist!"

"Little S, 100,000 horsepower..."

Hao Yan kept directing Bangiras to launch attacks.

Bangilas was playing with great enthusiasm.

In his usual battles with Haoyan's other Pokémon, he usually gets badly beaten.

But now, the situation has reversed.

It gave him a feeling of being liberated from the serfdom and singing a song of liberation.

Bosscodora, trapped in a sandstorm, finally regained its freedom after much hardship.

But what's the use of regaining freedom?

In his paralyzed state, he was a clumsy target.

However, Aggron still demonstrated formidable fighting power.

He fought until his strength was completely exhausted, and then he collapsed to the ground unwillingly.

... ...

"Haoyan wins the first round of the battle!" the referee announced from a distance, holding a megaphone.

The referee dared not approach.

Because it's too dangerous!

The collision between the two enormous Pokémon was like a landslide or a tsunami.

... ...

"Bosscodora... thank you for your hard work..."

Daigo silently recalled Aggron.

Looking at Hao Yan's calm expression, he felt an unprecedented pressure. He had imagined all sorts of possibilities for his battle with Hao Yan.

But he never expected that the start would be so difficult.

After regaining my composure, I realized that although the defeat in the first round was very stressful, it was not unacceptable.

He's a champion after all, so his mental fortitude is pretty good.

Putting aside his chaotic emotions, Daigo released his second Pokémon.

"Go, Metagross!"

Metagross looks a bit like a metallic crab.

Its entire body is blue, and it is made of crystal.

It's like a metal sculpture.

Metagross is a rare combination of Steel and Psychic types, possessing extremely high racial potential, and is known as a pseudo-legendary in Hoenn.

It is also Daigo's favorite and most relied-upon Pokémon.

"Then let's switch to Xiao Ou."

Haoyan recalled Tyranitar and released Lucario.

"Luca~"

Lucario was quite excited about Metagross, as he had never battled Metagross before, and he looked at Metagross with great curiosity.

Having experienced the defeat in the first round, Steven dared not be careless and quickly commanded Metagross to undergo Mega Evolution.

Metagross, after its super evolution, floats on the ground.

Its four claws gleamed coldly, brimming with aggression.
