My Pokémon changes freely

After two sessions of [Meditation], Tan Bao's abilities have greatly improved.

The improvement in special defense makes Tanbao completely unafraid of any Pokémon that goes into battle.

Tu Feng quickly chose his next Pokémon to replace. At this time, all Xingcai needed to do was to judge which Pokémon Tu Feng would use.

According to Xingcai, the probability of seeing large-billed gulls is highest here.

After all, rainy days can limit Tanbao's output, but Tu Feng probably doesn't know that Tanbao's second attribute is psychic.

"Tanbao, use [Psychic Shock]!"

Then, Tu Feng changed to the Toucan. Although the Toucan had activated Rainy Day, the [Spiritual Shock] added by two meditations still knocked the Toucan directly to the ground, making it lose its combat capability.

There was no way. Tu Feng’s seagull had not reached the gym owner level, and there was really nothing he could do after being hit by such a powerful skill.

Tu Feng then changed to the next Pokémon - Electric Petrel.

At this moment, Tu Feng's three Pokémon have already locked on.

Xingcai couldn't help but frown at this. The other party had sacrificed too much to cooperate with the weather.

But soon, Xingcai discovered that such a sacrifice was totally worth it.

The king-level Electric Petrel took advantage of the rainy day and favorable wind to directly use [Discharge].

This directly caused heavy damage to Tanbao.

With the blessing of rainy days, the power of [Discharge] becomes stronger and more difficult to avoid.

It was fortunate that Tanbao had stacked two layers of special defense, otherwise it would have been knocked back into the Poké Ball.

In this regard, Xingcai also allows Tanbao to make use of his remaining energy.

She asked Tanbao to use [Mental Shock], and hit Dadian Haiyan hard before he was seriously injured.

Then, Xingcai sent up the Sharptooth Land Shark.

The ground attribute of the Sharptooth Land Shark makes it immune to electric attacks, so the attack of the Electric Petrel seems to be struggling.

And at this time, the tailwind opened by Steelix also ended.

At this time, Tu Feng also put away the Electric Petrel and released the Steel Crow again.

Even without Tanbao, Steelix was still very confident when facing Land Shark.

"Shaqima, use [Invisible Rock]." Xingcai did not intend to let Shaqima and Steelix face off head-on. Shaqima had already mastered the move of scattering rocks, so he naturally used it easily.

Tu Feng also frowned at this.

"Are you going to use Dragon Tail to get rid of the Great Lightning Petrel?"

Tu Feng's question was answered by Xing Cai with a nod, "It may not be able to deal a heavy blow directly, but Shark Qima has a natural advantage in dealing with the Great Electric Swallow."

"Then we can only deal with it this round." Tu Feng said simply, "Steel Armored Crow, [Brave Bird Attack]."

Immediately, Tu Feng's Steel Crow turned into a black afterimage and crashed into the Sharptooth Land Shark almost instantly.

Xingcai didn't even have time to react.

However, Shaqima's [Invisible Rock] has already been spread out.

Looking at the shark with circles in its eyes, Xingcai could only helplessly take it back.

"Go, Xiaozi." Xingcai finally called out her trump card, the magical masked cat Xiaozi.

Facing Steelix, Xiao Zi's fist flashed with lightning almost immediately.

The rainy weather has not subsided yet, and Xiao Zi's [Thunder Fist] has a certain bonus.

Tu Feng, on the other hand, directly used his level advantage and planned to continue suppressing.

"Steel Armored Crow, continue [Brave Bird Attack]."

As a cloud of dust rose, Xingcai and Tufeng knew that both sides' Pokémon had not fallen yet.

Is this the suppression of the same level?

Xingcai has already received feedback from Xiao Zi. If they fight head-on, Xiao Zi will be no match for this Steel Armored Crow.

In this case, we can only resort to guerrilla warfare.

The smoke and dust dissipated, and the Steel Armored Crow remained in the air, while Xiao Zi retreated in front of Xingcai.

"Xiao Zi, use [Phosphorus]."

"What?" Tu Feng was shocked by Xingcai's command. He didn't expect that this magical masked cat could actually use [Phosphorescent Fire].

You know, although the previous Crimson Knight did not give him too much pressure, it also made him see the strength of this Pokémon.

He thought that was Xingcai’s strongest fighting force.

I didn't expect that this magical masked cat, which had just entered the gym owner level, would have such an outrageous skill.

This shouldn’t be the case. How did Magic Masked Cat learn [Phosphorescence]?

After being hit by [Phosphorescence], the situation between Steel Crow and Magical Masked Cat was reversed.

The weakening of Physical Attack Pokémon by [Phosphorus] is visible to the naked eye. Even if the two Pokémon are one level apart, Meowth can still suppress Steelix with [Thunder Fist] and [Fire Fist].

Steelix, who was already at a disadvantage in these two attributes, now seemed to be helpless.

What if we change to the Electric Swallow? Tu Feng knew very well that Xingcai's Magic Masked Cat could not possibly not have ground-based skills.

Chapter 74: Awkward Lineup

"It looks like I lost." Tu Feng did not let the singles match continue, he knew he had already lost.

Being defeated by his junior schoolmate was undoubtedly a blow to Tu Feng.

Moreover, he has the advantage in level.

His Electric Petrel and Steel Crow both reached the king level, but were restricted to the point where they were unable to perform at all.

"Senior Tu Feng, why do you want Steeljaw to attack?" Xing Cai asked this question, "Steeljaw's body characteristics are obviously better used as a physical defense core, right?"

"The combination of [Iron Wall] and [Pounce] is obviously a wall of physical defense."

Tu Feng frowned, but Xingcai was the winner, so he couldn't complain about anything, so he explained: "Steelcrow is my first Pokémon, so I have always used it like this."

Xingcai nodded, "I see. Senior, don't you think your team's firepower is actually not sufficient? In the case of choosing three out of six, the Rainy Day Team will have to occupy two positions, and you can't count on the Big Mouth Gull for output. You can only rely on the Big Electric Petrel's [Discharge] and [Storm]."

Xingcai knew clearly that Tu Feng was still letting her win. How could the King-level Electric Petrel not know how to use Storm?

Xingcai's words finally triggered Tu Feng's thinking. Insufficient firepower was actually a fact.

Because Tu Feng's attack attribute is too single.

The flying system is his biggest reliance. No matter whether it is Steelix or Fiery Hawk, they all need [Brave Bird Attack] to be able to pose enough physical attack threat.

However, both Slark and Steelix were clearly lacking in firepower, and only Charizard seemed to be doing better.

As a result, Tu Feng's Charizard focuses on physical attack, with the aim of making up for its shortcomings.

But this time, because we have to face Tanbao, the fire system is of little use.

At this time, Tu Feng also came to his senses and felt that what Xingcai said made sense.

His physical attack is too weak, and it doesn't match the rainy day system.

"Xingcai, do you have any suggestions?"

Xingcai frowned. She actually wanted to find out the problem herself, but now it seemed that she was helping Tu Feng solve the problem.

However, Xingcai is not a stingy person. She also said generously: "As for me, I mainly have one idea, which is to increase the number of physical attackers in the rain."

"If it must be a flying type, Gyarados is actually a good choice." Xingcai said so, but she thinks Garchomp is a better choice.

"It's getting late today, let's fight again next time." Xing Cai saw that it was almost noon, and hurriedly said goodbye to Tu Feng, "Next time if there is a chance, let me see senior's Dragonite."

Xingcai knew very well that Tu Feng had definitely let his opponent win in the six-choose-three match.

If it were her, she would never release a lord-level gull.

On the contrary, she will definitely use Dragonite very frequently.

Dragonite can actually easily make up for the lack of physical attack, and can even easily deal with most of the Star Pokémon.

The difference in levels will appear even more terrifying when applied to quasi-god Pokémon.

Xingcai's understanding of levels has also deepened a lot after this duel.

As for the reinforcement of his own team, Xingcai is now more and more certain that it is in the weather system.

Xiao Zi is a panacea and can adapt to any weather to a certain extent.

Shark Chima is actually more suitable for sandstorm weather, Tanbao needs sunny days or super energy space, and Yuji's occasion is rainy days.

So who should be chosen as Star's fifth Pokémon?

Xingcai didn’t want to choose the large-billed gull, so rainy days were basically ruled out.

She now has no idea what kind of weather her team is suitable for.

I always feel that no matter what the weather is, it will not have much impact on her team.

So, should we abandon the weather system?

Xingcai understood this point, but sometimes she might have to give it up.

After all, in singles, the weather has less influence.

Therefore, Starry's fifth Pokémon might indeed now be able to stop thinking about the weather and think about something heavier.

Xingcai's current team lacks immediate combat capability.

Because it takes time for Fish Princess and Sharptooth Land Shark to grow, what she needs may not be a weather expert, but a real combat force.

She needs a Pokémon to share the pressure of Xiao Zi and Tan Bao.

Therefore, Scyther's evolved form, the Giant Mantis, came into Xingcai's consideration.

There is no doubt that a Pokémon that is born in a Perfect Form is the best embodiment of immediate combat capability. Moreover, after Scyther evolves into Titania, its combined attributes of bug and steel really means it is not afraid of anyone except the fire attribute. It also has a [Bullet Fist], which makes it a really fierce and ferocious Pokémon.

If there is no such Pokémon, then Xingcai can only choose a physical defense core.

In this position, Xingcai is actually more thoughtful.

There are quite a few Pokémon that have reached the pinnacle in terms of physical defense.

Ultramarine and Saltrock are the most traditional physical defense core Pokémon.

Even apart from these two, Xingcai can easily find Pokémon with high physical defense values ​​from the Pokédex.

Apart from that, Xingcai had no clue.

Let’s see tomorrow and play another doubles game with Tu Feng to see if it works.

Xingcai had no good solution, so all future plans had to end here.

During lunch, Xingcai also told Xin Han about her troubles.

But Xin Han, who is a carefree person, didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all.

"If you just can't put together a complete Pokémon lineup, you can just pick the Pokémon you like."

"If you really want to pursue the rationality of the lineup, would you force the Pokémon back if it doesn't want to come back with you? Xingcai, you didn't think so when you released the Popo Dolphin before."

Yeah, why did I start to worry about these things?

Xingcai then keenly discovered that her own anxiety was really too severe.

This is totally not the mentality she should have. Obviously, many things that have happened recently have made her deviate from her track.

"You're right, I was indeed a bit too picky." Xingcai admitted her problem. She was also grateful to have a friend like Xin Han around her who could help her solve many problems.

Just as Xin Han said, Xingcai was a little too picky.

She shouldn't have thought about it so much, because Pokémon and trainers have always been a two-way journey to be together.

This is the bond, just like those card players. Only those who have established a deep friendship with the deck can make a magical draw at any time, or even surpass the accelerated synchronization and print cards directly.

Xingcai's mood finally calmed down at this moment.

Sure enough, let’s eat first.

Chapter 75: Doubles Crush

The next day, Xingcai came to the gym again. This time the battle was a doubles match. After carefully studying Tu Feng's lineup, Xingcai came to a conclusion that with her four Pokémon, she would have no way to face the doubles and the Weather Team.
