I beg you female trainers to give me money even if you lose!

Kiku took out his trainer cards, and Yang Xiying did the same. Then both of them went to the Otherworld Arena.

Next, the Pokémon used in the login phase was deployed, followed by the announcement from the stick figure in the pink suit!

"Thank you for your help, Dragon Head Mole!"

"Mosquito Coil Frog King! You lead the charge!"

Kiku sent out Excadrill, a Pokémon that Yang Xiying was very familiar with, while Yang Xiying sent out a green frog that kept clapping its hands.

With his big eyes and blush, he's quite adorable. This was the Pokémon he used for rain before Kyogre!

—It's just that now we have the opportunity to play in official matches...

Crash——!!!

As soon as Poliwag appeared, a torrential downpour began from the sky, activating Poliwag's Rain ability!

"Oh, trying to use rain to enhance the power of water-type moves?"

Seeing the torrential rain pouring down from the sky, Boss Ju was also slightly surprised.

It's not surprising that the Challenger would use rain to create a rainy environment in battle, since he specializes in Ground-type Pokémon.

It's rare for a Pokémon to bring rain upon entering the battle; in his memory, only the seagulls on the island not far from Unova have this ability...

And this mosquito coil frog king...

"Excadrill! Stealth Rock!"

But regardless, we should still follow his rhythm. Since it's five against five, the nail technique is very important.

"Mosquito Coil Frog King, one more time!"

Yang Xiying followed up with an order, and then the dragon-headed groundhog tore through the ground with its claws, throwing out a large number of sharp rocks in Yang Xiying's direction!

At this moment, Mosquito Coil Frog King clapped even more vigorously, and then Dragon Head Groundhog suddenly became confident, which made Boss Ju's expression change!

The "Try Again" move forces the opponent to continue using the moves they've already used. Now Excadrill can only use Stealth Rock!

And the opponent just keeps using "I can do it again" when they see Excadrill. Does that mean they know exactly what moves Excadrill should use?!

"Dragon-headed Groundhog! Come back!"

Now, the boss needs to switch back to Excadrill, as it can only use Stealth Rock and can't stop its opponent from doing things!

"Mosquito Coil Frog King! Change hands!"

Yang Xiying also switched hands at this moment, as the Mosquito Coil Frog King itself used it to change the weather.

Other Pokémon truly shine in the rain, which is why he equipped Poliwag with an escape button.

However, since the opponent can now directly hit the target and try again, they don't need to use that one; they can directly switch to a new Pokémon!

—That way, even if the opponent forces you to switch Pokémon, you won't lose out!

Finally, Boss Ju traded for a Pokémon called Toad King that Yang Xiying had seen at Ghettoss, while Yang Xiying traded for a Ferrothorn!

boom--! ! !

Nutbell was attacked by Stealth Rock right away, but because it has the Steel type, it only lost 1/16 of its health.

...? !

Seeing that the opposing team had also only switched to their Pokémon, Kikyo, they were surprised. The opposing team still had the advantage.

After all, Ferrothorn is a Pokémon that lives around Smoothie City, and Kiku knows that it is a Grass-type!

King Toad is a Water/Ground type, which can only defend against Poliwag, but it is doomed against Grass types.

And it's still raining now, so Fire-type moves can't counter Grass-type moves. Isn't the opponent using Rain just to boost Water-type moves...?

"..."

Kiku suddenly realized how difficult the opponent was, and it wasn't a good time to switch to a new Pokémon...

After all, most of my Pokémon aren't very good at defense and are mainly used for offense, so I can only let King Toad take a chance.

"Toad King! Absorption Fist!"

"Nut-dumbbell! Parasitic seed!"

Both sides issued orders at this moment. Boss Ju directly ordered Toad King to attack, and Blue Toad punched Nut Dumbbell!

Fighting-type moves are also very effective against Nut Dumbbell, reducing its health bar by 20%, which amazed Kiku-sama with its defensive power.

What surprised him even more was that King Toad's health bar had dropped by nearly 30% at this moment, and Ferrothorn's Iron Spikes ability had been activated.

Not only that, it also carries a bulging helmet, and the combination of the two can make it difficult for Pokémon that attack Ferrothorn!

In addition, the parasitic seeds thrown by the nut dumbbell also began to take effect, and the entangled Toad King's health bar dropped to 60%.

—The nut dumbbell's health bar has recovered to 85%.

"...!"

Kiku's blood pressure rose unusually high because this battle tactic was too sinister. Was this guy originally a trainer with this style?

"Toad King, earthquake!"

In response, Boss Ju switched his moves to Earthquake, a move that wouldn't trigger the effects of the opponent's spikes and bumpy helmet.

Although the earthquake can be resisted by Grass-type, the opponent has a Brick-type that is weak to Ground, so the damage is not much different.

Furthermore, the only way to overcome this obstacle is to buy time and stop the rain! Then I can let a Pokémon with Fire-type moves take care of it!

"Nut Dumbbell! Invisible Rock!"

Yang Xiying followed suit and used a stealth rock to lay solid spikes on the enemy!

Finally, the Toad King shook the ground and hit the Nut Dumbbell with 20% of its health, which was similar to the Absorb Punch, but it did not suffer any damage from the backlash.

However, the health bar still lost 1/8 due to the parasitic seed, while the Nut Dumbbell still had about 75% health left because of the parasitic seed!

"King Toad! Earthquake!"

"Nut-dumbbell! Powerful whip!"

Ju Laoda continued to shake things up, while Yang Xiying chose to attack. Nuts Dumbbell had done everything it needed to do, and now it was time to attack!

Since the opponent now knows not to use contact moves to hit the Nut Dumbbell, it's better to take the initiative!

In the third encounter, Nut Dumbbell's health bar was reduced to nearly 60% due to the earthquake, but Toad King was completely defeated by the whip!

Water and Ground types couldn't withstand a single Grass-type move, and at that moment, the torrential rain caused by Poliwag stopped.

"Desert Dragonfly! It's all up to you now,"

In the end, Kiku had no choice but to switch to a new Pokémon.

……

PS: Update!

486

Chapter 486: No encounter with Mei during the subway battle...

(The battle at the end of the previous chapter has been modified. Ferrothorn used Spikes instead of Stealth Rock, and Ferrothorn was not changed. It defeated Toadowlord with a Grass-type move, so Kikyo switched to a new Pokémon.)

"Fura—!"

The new Pokémon that Kiku-sama switched out was a green Pokémon with the body of a flying dragon.

With rhomboid wings and a dragonfly-like head, this is Desert Dragonfly, a Ground/Dragon-type Pokémon.

It is also the type that is not afraid of thunder when flying and not afraid of earthquakes when digging holes, because it has the property of floating!

However, it was still attacked by the stealth rock, but because it was a ground-type rock, it only lost 1/16 of its health.

"A desert dragonfly...?"

Looking at the new Pokémon that the other side switched out, Yang Xiying pondered for a moment before switching her Pokémon as well!

"Nut Dumbbell! Come back!"

The opponent's switch to Desert Dragonfly is definitely to counter the Nut Dumbbell, so they'll definitely use that move.

"Desert Dragonfly! Big Flame Burst!"

At this moment, Boss Ju gave the order: this is the only way to deal with the nut dumbbells!

However, Yang Xiying directly recycled the nut dumbbells and exchanged them for the Mosquito Coil Frog King, and the weather changed to torrential rain again!

The large bursts of flame that the desert dragonfly spewed from its mouth gradually shrank and changed under the influence of this weather.

It turned into a medium-sized explosive flame halfway through, but became a small-sized explosive flame in front of Poliwag, and didn't do any damage when it hit Poliwag.

Yang Xiying lost only 5% of her health, but this still triggered the escape button, so she had to switch to a new Pokémon!

This new Pokémon is pure heavyweight because it's Mamoswine, and now it has enough power to knock Tigrex away!

"Boulder!"

Yang Xiying gave the Ivory Pig orders without hesitation, and Boss Ju also sensed the danger.

Because he also trained Mamoswine, and most of his Pokémon couldn't withstand its power!

"Desert dragonfly! Earthquake!"

In the end, they had no choice but to take a gamble, but the Desert Dragonfly was no match for the Ivory Boar on the other side!

The ivory pig exhaled cold air directly from its mouth and nose, which instantly turned into ice blocks, and then smashed into the desert dragonfly at supersonic speed!

The Desert Dragonfly's health bar is instantly reduced to zero. Ice Shard is a priority move, and although its power is only 40, it is enough to instantly kill the Garchomp's Desert Dragonfly!

"...!"

Ju Laoda's expression was solemn. The strength of the ivory pig opposite him was already comparable to that of the one at his house!

"Rogue Crocodile! It's up to you!"

Kiku switched out his fourth Pokémon, a bipedal crocodile with black stripes, dark red skin, and a white belly.

This was the same crocodile Yang Xiying had seen before. The crocodile roared, and the Ivory Pig involuntarily took a step back.

—Intimidate ability activated!

"Ivory Pig, switch hands!"

Mamoswine's Attack stat drops by one step due to Intimidate, making it difficult for it to be effective on the field, so it's time to switch it out!

"Rogue Crocodile! Kick him down!"

On Kiku's side, he used fighting moves to deal with the Ivory Boar, while Crocodile charged straight at him!

It swung out a leg, attempting to knock down the Ivory Boar, but the Ivory Boar vanished in a blue streak of light, replaced by a Crossbat!

The crocodile's sweeping leg only reduced Crobat's health by 6%-7%, and the cloaked rock lurking in Crobat's lair did not cause any damage.

—Because the Crossbat was carrying the prop platform boots!

"...!"

Seeing the Crobat that the opponent switched to, Kiku frowned. It was indeed a good judgment to use a Flying-type Pokémon against him.

It ignores Ground-type moves and can also remove entry hazards like Fog, but removing Fog will also remove any Stealth Rocks the opponent has placed.

So what's the opponent's plan in bringing out Crobat now? Is it really to remove spikes? Or is there some other offensive tactic?

"Rogue Crocodile! Come back!"

It's not that great; he has to change his Pokémon now because Krookodile, due to its Scarf requirement, can only use the Knockout move.

—This is only good for gua sha (scraping therapy) on cross-shaped bats!

"Crossbat! Angry Fangs!"

Yang Xiying waved his hand, explaining that he had sent out the Cross Bats to wear down the enemy.

Finally, he used up a heavyweight. The last Pokémon that Kiku switched out was Mamoswine, and the big boar's health bar was already less than half off right away.

Also, because 1/8 of the Invisible Rock was gone, seeing this scene, Kiku's blood pressure rose again. This was too painful!

"Ivory pig! Ice gravel!"

Boss Ju immediately used Ice Shard, a move that can ignore the opponent's speed and attack first!
