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

As a Pokémon professor, what I enjoy most is dealing with traveling trainers, because they always bring new insights and experiences.

This is very helpful for research, as is the case with Yang Xiying, who has countless rare Pokémon by his side.

There are even legendary Pokémon; you should naturally befriend such people, as you might be able to learn some information from them.

So, they ended up having dinner together, even though it was Yang Xiying who invited them, which saved them a lot of trouble.

The two of them could talk more, and then Professor Zishan learned that Yang Xiying came to the Wilderness Scenic Area to catch some Pokémon.

"Yes, as a trainer, you naturally want to have as many Pokémon as possible by your side, so you have more tactical options."

Yang Xiying nodded.

"Ha, Mr. Yang, you're just like those kids in that respect,"

Zishan smiled, which surprised Yang Xiying.

"I'm talking about Touko and the others. You've met them before, haven't you? They've also been studying Pokémon tactics."

"Of course, when it comes to tactics, Teacher Pigeon, who has a huge online following, is far superior."

As he spoke, Dr. Zishan changed the subject.

"To the point that I'm even curious to see what they're made of,"

A slight smile played on her lips. "By the way, Mr. Yang, would you like to have a Pokémon battle with me?"

"Battle?"

Yang Xiying was stunned for a moment, and then she broke out in a cold sweat, because Dr. Zishan was also a beautiful woman in her prime.

So if I win...

"Okay, what are the rules?"

That felt pretty good too.

Chapter 498 The Great Battle with Dr. Zishan!

I agreed to this match without thinking...

In the arena formed by the trainer cards, Yang Xiying came to her senses and realized that she had agreed to an incredible request from Professor Zishan.

—The opponent actually initiated a Pokémon battle against me!

"The rules are six against six at level 50, is that alright?"

At this moment, Dr. Zishan, standing opposite, also explained the rules.

“Uh… no problem, but it’s quite unexpected that you would take the initiative to challenge me, Dr. Zishan.”

Yang Xiying nodded blankly, then struck up a conversation with the person opposite her, wanting to know why they had challenged her.

—Just to experience their strength? That doesn't seem like something a Pokémon professor would do.

"Although I haven't really shown my battling skills to most people, I used to be a trainer who traveled with Pokémon."

Dr. Zishan smiled. She used to be a wild girl who liked to run around in the mountains and fields, but that could be considered a dark chapter in her youth.

"So the Pokémon that are with me still have the ability to fight, not to mention that I need Pokémon to protect me when I go out to do research."

"And if I fight with all my might, will I have a chance to see you fight me with a legendary Pokémon, Mr. Yang?"

"I see, Doctor, you want to observe the children around me through battles, right?"

Yang Xiying suddenly understood the other party's purpose.

"After all, I feel a little embarrassed to directly ask you for a chance to observe a legendary Pokémon,"

Zishan responded with a smile.

“I certainly won’t let them cooperate with people in experiments, so you’re right, if you want to understand the children around me.”

Yang Xiying nodded.

"The only way is through Pokémon battles, but I might not bring out a legendary Pokémon when I face Professor Shige."

"I will try my best to do that."

Zishan smiled confidently. Information about legendary Pokémon, even battles, was still very attractive to researchers like them!

So she wanted to take advantage of the battle to record information about the opponent's legendary Pokémon, even though the opponent said it would be difficult.

But I just need to try a few more times, and I'll eventually gather information about legendary Pokémon.

"Then let's not delay, let's begin,"

Both sides launched six Pokémon, and then the referee announced the start of the battle!

"Crossbat! You lead the charge!"

"Agile Bug! Thank you for your help!"

Both sides sent out their own methods. Yang Xiying's side sent out an old friend, while Professor Zishan sent out a Pokémon with a flamboyant standing posture.

It resembles a ninja with his arms crossed over his chest, with dark blue ribbons fluttering in the wind and a red head, but the overall structure makes it even more like a ninja.

This is the Bug-type Pokémon Agile Bug, unique to the Unova region. It has shed its heavy shell and become light, and its body weakens when it is dry.

To prevent dryness, it wraps itself in strips of mucous membrane. It moves swiftly and fights with the agility of a ninja.

It can also spray venom, and the movies and comics starring this Pokémon are extremely popular.

Agile Bug? Consider it a trial before challenging the Flying Cloud Dojo...

Looking at the Pokémon sent out by the other side, Yang Xiying thought to herself, "This thing seems to be a Pokémon commonly used by the Gym Leader of Feiyun City."

"Crossbat! Provocation!"

"Agile Bug! Spread Water Chestnuts!"

Both sides issued commands at this moment, but the Agile Bug made the first move. Agile Bug has a base Speed ​​stat of 135, which is worthy of its name!

"drink--!!!"

The agile bug, wielding spikes, hurled them around the Crobat like a ninja, and then the Crobat made a mocking expression.

This also caused the Agile Bug to quickly turn red, meaning it couldn't use offensive moves to kill enemies for the next three rounds.

Although it's a bit late to provoke after using Spikes, Agile Bugs have a lot of powerful moves, and another yawn would be enough to give the opponent a hard time.

"A provocation...!"

Seeing Yang Xiying issue this order, Zishan frowned slightly. It wouldn't be good to keep the agile insects on the field any longer...

"Agile Bug! Switch hands!"

"Crossbat! Angry Fangs!"

Yang Xiying followed the opponent's commands closely, but she still couldn't keep up with the opponent switching Pokémon. Zishan sent out a behemoth.

It was a Pokémon composed of a giant rock and four dark blue rocks, its body covered with many sharp-edged orange crystals.

It looks quite tough, but the Crobat also has an extremely strong bite force, opening its mouth to bite the head of the other person.

—This Pokémon's HP bar is halved!

"...!"

Seeing this, Zishan felt a chill run down her spine. She hadn't expected her opponent to use the "Angry Fangs" move!

—Did the opponent really predict that I would switch to a Pokémon that could resist Crobat attacks...?

"A giant rock monster with sturdy characteristics?"

Yang Xiying recognized the Pokémon sent by the professor: Gigantamax, a Rock-type Pokémon from the Unova region.

—Its physical attack and physical defense stats are quite good.

"I already noticed,"

Yew raised an eyebrow; Rockruff did indeed have the Sturdy ability, and the opponent's guess was quite accurate.

"After all, Gigalith didn't show its Sandstorm ability, so we can only think of its Sturdy ability, even though this Pokémon currently has three known abilities."

"But if we don't even use the sand-raising property, then there's no need to use the power of sand,"

Sand Power: Increases the power of Steel-type moves on rocky terrain during sandstorms.

"Heh, as expected of Teacher Pigeon,"

Yew snorted, "But the battle isn't over yet, Giant Rock Monster, use Sharp Stone Attack!"

"Crossbat! Tailwind!"

Yang Xiying followed closely behind, and this time it was the Cross Bat that made the first move, creating a whirlwind!

However, its health bar was also nearing its end. The giant rock monster stomped its forelegs on the ground, kicking up a large number of sharp rocks that hit the crossbat, causing its health bar to drop rapidly.

—The Rock attribute is extremely effective against the Flying attribute!

"..."

Yang Xiying lost one of her Pokémon, but Professor Zishan dared not relax, because Crobat used a very powerful move.

"The rest is up to you, Nidoking!"

At this moment, Yang Xiying sent out Nidoking, which evolved from Nidorinno that he had captured in the hunting grounds!

"Nidoking! Earth Power!"

Yang Xiying didn't stand on ceremony with Dr. Zishan and immediately unleashed the power of the earth!

Finally, the giant rock monster was completely engulfed by the muddy-colored pillar of light that rose from the ground, its health bar was emptied, and the ground attribute had an outstanding effect on it.

"It's Nidoran...?"

Professor Zishan's expression turned serious. Although this Pokémon was rare in Unova, she recognized it.

Moreover, this one has indeed achieved good results in Pokémon battles, so its strength is beyond doubt, especially with the forced Life Orb configuration...

Its learnable moves are all incredibly powerful, making it a super turret, but unfortunately its base speed stat is only 85.

But now the opponent has used Tailwind, and there are still two rounds left in Tailwind. During this period, the opponent's speed will double!

So it's very dangerous; none of our own lineups can overcome this speed, unless we can increase the speed under special circumstances...

Oh right, I still have one more, and that one can counter Nidoking! "I'll leave the rest to you, Agile Bug!"

PS: Update!

Chapter 499 You'll have no friends if you keep going like this!

Zishan sent out the Agile Insects again. After looking at Yang Xiying for a moment, she gave the order to attack!

"Nidoking! Ice Beam!"

"Agile Bug! Water Shuriken!"

Dr. Ziyue followed closely behind, and then Agile Bug was the first to make a move, even though Nidoking was currently in a favorable position.

However, the command that Zishan gave to the agile insect was to use the Water Shuriken, which is a preemptive attack and is multi-hit like the Ice Spike!

It attacks randomly 2 to 5 times with a power of 15. As a Water-type monster that is super effective against Nidoking, the Agile Bug throws out darts made of blue water!

Three shots hit Nidoking, reducing its health by 35%. Combined with the damage from Spikes earlier, Nidoking still has a little over 50% health left.

Then Nidoking gathered cold air from his mouth, which then shot out as a beam of light that struck Agilebug directly!

The Agile Bug lost 60% of its health bar and was then enveloped in cold air, turning into an ice sculpture!

"what?!"

Seeing the Agile Bug in this state, Dr. Zishan looked alarmed; her Agile Bug had fallen into a frozen state!

This is a negative state similar to sleep. Whether it can be removed depends on luck, such as when the ice melts, or when the user is carrying certain moves or being attacked by the opponent's fire!

But now Dr. Yew can only wait for the ice to melt, since the Agile Bug cannot undo the freezing move, and being attacked by fire means the end.
