If the old man hadn't said that, Li Huowang would have thought that other Pokémon trainers were all rather warlike.
"Are you prepared to be annihilated by me in an instant?" Li Huowang asked arrogantly. "870."
"You want to kill me instantly?"
The old man immediately burst into laughter.
"You don't seem to be a Pokémon trainer from Crown Phoenix Town, do you?"
"That's right, I'm definitely not a Pokémon trainer here."
"That's right."
The old man nodded and said, "There aren't many people who can defeat me, old man Tianman, especially a Pokémon trainer as young as you, there is none."
Tianman then asked Li Huowang, "Do you know who I am? I am a high-level Pokémon trainer. Do you understand what a trainer is?"
Upon hearing this, Li Huowang curled his lip and said, "It's just a guy who takes some weak Pokémon trainers into battle. I, Li Huowang, can also do a job like yours, but I don't think it's necessary. It's a particularly boring thing."
"Are you really that arrogant?"
Tenma was even more puzzled, "Haven't you ever been beaten up by other Pokémon trainers?"
"I'm sorry, but since I became a Pokémon Trainer, I haven't actually been beaten up by any other Pokémon Trainer."
At this point, Li Huowang couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Of course, except for her own sister, Li Xueyi.
Apart from Li Xueyi, ever since Li Huowang obtained a Tyranitar that was favored by the Destiny Star God and the Destruction Star God, he has been the only one who beats up other Pokémon trainers.
“Young man, I know it’s a good thing that you have pride, but I still advise you not to be too confident.”
After saying that, Senior Trainer Tenman took out his Poké Ball.
It was only then that Li Huowang noticed that the advanced trainer Tianman actually owned quite a few Pokémon.
There are three Poké Balls in total, and the Pokémon inside each one don't look like they're going to get into trouble.
Senior Trainer Tenma first sent out a Forked Tail Floatzel.
Upon seeing this, a hint of joy flashed deep in Li Huowang's eyes.
This Forked Tail Floatzel looks similar to the Pokémon trainers I challenged at the Nose Gym back then.
If there is any difference, it is that the level of Tenma's Forked Tail Floatzel is the same as that of his Shiny Gyarados, and both are Champion-level Pokémon.
However, in terms of attributes, my shiny Gyarados actually has a certain advantage.
After all, Forked Tail Floatzel's type is relatively simple, being only a Water-type Pokémon. Even if it has some other types of moves, they won't pose a significant threat to its shiny Gyarados.
With that thought in mind, Li Huowang turned to look at the shiny Gyarados beside him and said, "Shiny Gyarados, you continue to deal with this Forked Tail Floatzel."
"Oh?"
When Tianman saw that Li Huowang had actually sent out a Shiny Gyarados, his usually calm eyes lit up...
"It's a Shiny Pokémon, and a Shiny Gyarados with Champion-level strength too. That's quite rare."
Tenman looked at Li Huowang with considerable admiration and said, "Young man, can you tell me how you trained this shiny Gyarados to Champion-level strength? The resources required for its training must have been astronomical, right?"
"I just grabbed it randomly," Li Huowang replied casually.
"Just grabbed someone randomly..."
Tenma was speechless.
This young man actually gave such an answer.
"Alright, whatever you say, come on, I'm ready for battle."
As soon as he finished speaking, the champion-level Forked Tail Floatzel on the field was the first to unleash a Psychic-type move, High Speed Shift.
Then Li Huowang saw that the speed of the Forked Tail Zephyr suddenly increased, and the speed value of the Forked Tail Zephyr eventually reached a level that was even more terrifying than the Shiny Gyarados on Li Huowang's field.
.8
Upon seeing this, Li Huowang couldn't help but gasp.
The old man was indeed telling the truth; he was indeed a high-level Pokémon trainer.
His knowledge of Pokémon alone is unmatched by that of other ordinary Pokémon trainers.
Only by first establishing a significant speed advantage can a player create more opportunities to counterattack.
After thinking for a moment, Li Huowang finally said to the Shiny Gyarados, "Gyarados, use the Dark-type move Crunch."
Gyarados charged at Forked Tail Floatzel and bit it.
215. The stubborn advanced trainer, Shiny Gyarados, defensive counterattack.
However, to Li Huowang's great surprise, although his shiny Gyarados was very fast, the Forked Tail Weasel had already prepared for this because it had used a Psychic-type move, Agility, to create a speed gap with Li Huowang's shiny Gyarados.
When Forked Tail Floater saw Shiny Gyarados charging towards it, it immediately dodged to the side.
The Shiny Gyarados's Dark-type move Crunch didn't hit the Forked Tail, which dodged it.
"hey-hey."
Senior Trainer Tianman grinned, revealing two rows of large yellow teeth, and said with a smile, "I, this old man, have seen plenty of impatient young people like you. You often only focus on the Pokémon's attack and defense."
"What many don't realize is that the speed stat, often overlooked by other Pokémon trainers, is also extremely important. It not only determines whether the Pokémon you send out can get the first move, but also whether the opponent can make good use of the type advantage of the 'Effective' attribute."
Li Huowang glared disdainfully at the senior trainer Tianman, "I'm not one of those Pokémon trainers you're in charge of, so don't give me that lecture."
"So what if you go first? If your skills can't hit the opponent's Pokémon, then the speed advantage becomes meaningless."
"No, my Forked Tail Floatzel can dodge your Gyarados's moves precisely because it's faster than your Gyarados," Tenma said quietly.
"quick?"
Li Huowang narrowed his eyes slightly.
This shiny Gyarados is a destroyer of destiny, and it even possesses the moves and skills of Clara from the Collapse Star Railway.
Li Huowang doesn't believe that once the speed difference between Forked Tail Floatzel and Gyarados widens, Shiny Gyarados loses all its advantages.
Just then, Li Huowang looked up at his shiny Gyarados.
Just as he had expected, the shiny Gyarados secretly used Clara's move—it was an agreement, not an order.
This is Clara's finishing move from the game "Slam Dunk".
Not only can it greatly increase the Shiny Gyarados's own defense stat, but it can also trigger a passive counterattack skill for the next few turns.
The damage from this passive counterattack skill is comparable to that of Shiny Gyarados' Hyper Beam, a Normal-type move.
Just then, as expected, the Forked Tail Floatzel, belonging to the advanced trainer Tenma, attacked the Shiny Gyarados once again.
The Forked Tail Weasel rushed to the front and rear of the Shiny Gyarados, then swung its tail forcefully, slamming it down on the Gyarados.
Li Huowang could tell that the Forked Tail Floating Weasel was using a Normal-type move called a two-hit combo.
In one round, xs852 launched two consecutive attacks on the opponent's spirits.
Although the individual damage values are relatively small, two consecutive hits, especially since they are guaranteed to hit, are terrifying.
It deals even more damage than the high-speed star skill of the normal type.
However, Li Huowang wasn't particularly worried; his eyes remained fixed on the Shiny Gyarados's health.
Just as Li Huowang had predicted, even though the Forked Tail Floatzel used this skill, it didn't have much of an effect on Gyarados. Gyarados's HP had only dropped by one-fifth.
Under normal circumstances, Li Huowang felt that this Forked Tail Float Weasel's move could reduce Gyarados's health by at least half.
We've only lost so little blood so far, this is already a huge profit.
After being attacked by the Zephyr, the Shiny Gyarados immediately opened its mouth and released a beam of light towards the Zephyr in Tenma.
"boom!"
Forked Tail Floatio didn't expect Gyarados to be able to counterattack in this way, and was immediately caught off guard by Gyarados, being hit by the beam of light that Gyarados spewed from its mouth.
The Forked Tail Floating Weasel's health dropped from full to near zero in an instant.
Even Tenman, a senior trainer who had seen many Pokémon in the 870s, was dumbfounded.
Am I seeing things?
Tenman rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Li Huowang provocatively said, "What about your so-called speed? I told you, speed isn't the only factor that determines a Pokémon's battle. Now you should believe me, right?"
Senior trainer Tianman seemed to be a rather stubborn old man, and the more Li Huowang said that, the more he wanted to prove himself.
Tenma then turned to look at the Forked Tail Weasel on his field and shouted to it, "Forked Tail Weasel, keep using the Psychic-type move, Agility!"
Subsequently, the speed stat of the Forked Tail Floatzel was increased again, and it even widened the gap with Li Huowang's Shiny Gyarados by more than 100 points.
Li Huowang noticed that every move of Tianman's Forked-Tailed Floating Weasel seemed to leave many afterimages; the Forked-Tailed Floating Weasel was so fast that he could hardly see it clearly anymore.
216. Gyarados defeats Forked Tail Floatzel, Tenma switches to Champion-level Kirin.
But what good is the speed of this forked-tailed floaty weasel?
Li Huowang knew that since his Shiny Gyarados was chosen by Destiny of Destruction, its fighting style was no longer based on high speed and high attack.
Shiny Gyarados is a defensive counter-attack type of Pokémon.
Unless it's a move like Hypnosis paired with another Psychic-type move, Dream Eater, Li Huowang was worried that the opponent's Pokémon wouldn't be able to hit his Shiny Gyarados.
He has a chance if the opponent's Pokémon hits his Shiny Gyarados with a move.
Even the smallest amount of damage will trigger Shiny Gyarados's Counterattack passive.
After witnessing his Forked Tail Zephyr get retaliated against by a Shiny Gyarados, the advanced Pokémon trainer, Tenman, has become much more cautious in his choice of moves when commanding his champion-level Forked Tail Zephyr.
To Li Huowang's surprise, Tianman actually commanded his Forked Tail Weasel to unleash a Water-type move, Pulse Rush, on Gyarados.
"This guy is really cautious."
After seeing the Forked Tail Weasel use this Water-type move, Li Huowang was momentarily unable to fathom the thoughts of the advanced Pokémon trainer, Tianman.
As a high-level Pokémon trainer, Tenman couldn't possibly be unaware that water-type moves can only significantly reduce the damage they would inflict on other water-type Pokémon.
In this situation, Tenma still had Floatzel use the Water-type Pulse, which only proves one thing: Tenma still doesn't know why Shiny Gyarados was able to launch a counterattack shortly after his Floatzel used its move.
Therefore, the advanced Pokémon trainer Tenman could only choose a relatively conservative strategy, which resulted in Forktail Weasel using a ranged move.
Hopefully, by combining this with a significant increase in the speed of the Forked Tail Zephyr, I can prevent my Forked Tail Zephyr from being attacked by Gyarados.
However, in Li Huowang's eyes, this was completely useless.
Pulse Rush is a Water-type move with exceptionally high damage output. Even against legendary Pokémon like Kyogre, it can deliver a respectable amount of damage.
If you encounter a Groudon whose type is exactly weak to yours, the Water-type move Pulse Rush can even KO Groudon instantly.
However, Gyarados is a dual-type Water/Flying, so Pulse Blade cannot have a significant impact on it.
It was precisely because of this that Li Huowang immediately saw that the Wave Rush skill released by the Forked Tail Floatweaver landed on Gyarados, but instead had a very little effect.
Looking at the Gyarados's health bar, it had only dropped a tiny bit, just over ten drops.
If you don't look closely, you really can't tell that Li Huowang is not obvious.
"Has the effect been minimal?"
Tenma secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In Tianman's opinion, as long as Li Huowang's Gyarados on the field doesn't retaliate, it's still quite effective for him to slowly whittle down Gyarados's HP using the Water-type move Wave.
However, before Tenma could be happy for long, Gyarados opened its mouth again and released a destructive beam.
Even though Tenma immediately ordered his Forked Tail Zephyr to dodge Gyarados's attack, the Forked Tail Zephyr still managed to hit him.
"That's impossible."
Tenman's eyes widened instantly as he stared curiously at Li Huowang's Forked Tail Floatzel, seemingly trying to discern any clues about Li Huowang's Gyarados.
"Nothing is impossible."
Li Huowang gave Tianman a harmless smile.
"々This esteemed senior Pokémon trainer, do you still believe that as long as your speed stat is high enough, you can defeat all Pokémon?"
Tianman was naturally speechless in the face of Li Huowang's question.
At this moment, the Forked Tail Floatzel on the field had been knocked back into its Poké Ball by Li Huowang's Gyarados.
