Chapter 329
Later, Ash encountered an extremely troublesome opponent, a female trainer named Xiao Feng.
This competitor, however, carefully analyzed the opponent's data and fought according to the data.
Facing her, Ash, however, suffered a big loss.
First, Metapod used Stun Spore, and Torkoal used Iron Defense to avoid the Stun Spore.
But Metapod then used Disable, sealing Torkoal's Iron Defense.
After dodging Torkoal's Flamethrower, Xiao Feng switched to Golduck.
One Water Cannon shattered Torkoal's Body Slam, and while Torkoal hadn't yet landed, Golduck continued with Fury Swipes, rendering Torkoal unable to battle.
【Huayue: Not bad, Xiao Feng's tactics are good; it seems she really studied Ash.】
【Ma Zhishi: Ash is too reckless now; he's immediately found an opening by others.】
【Masamune: The opponent is too tactical; Disable sealed Torkoal's Iron Defense, then switched to Golduck, which counters Torkoal, using type advantage to strike from afar!】
【Ailan: This is Ash's problem; others have sent out Golduck, knowing Torkoal is countered, yet he insists on sending Torkoal forward, which is just giving it away; the opponent hit with Water Cannon, then followed with Fury Swipes—looking at this, the opponent's tactics are really good, their switching is good, their type countering is good!】
I didn't notice back then...... Ash is now seriously looking at the bullet comments; he rarely does switching and tactics.
White Light Curtain—
Ash switched to Pikachu, and Xiao Feng immediately switched to Dugtrio, specifically for type advantage.
Using Sand Tomb to trap Pikachu, Ash also had Pikachu use 100,000 Volts against Dugtrio.
Finally, Iron Tail lost to Dugtrio, losing battle capability.
Later, the sent-out Ice Ghost Guard won back a round, using Iron Head to slam the ground, then Dugtrio emerged from the ground and was defeated by Ice Beam.
Seeing how strong Ice Ghost Guard was, Xiao Feng sent out Misdreavus, using Destiny Bond on Ice Ghost Guard.
It, together with Ice Ghost Guard, lost battle capability.
【Xiba: This tactic works; knowing Ice Ghost Guard is strong, but I have no way to deal with Ash's unexpected tactic, so I deliberately let Misdreavus exchange one-for-one with Ice Ghost Guard.】
【Xiaomao: Ash is probably encountering such an opponent for the first time, and that guy says whatever, ignore attributes, fight back with spirit—that's pure brainlessness? Now Ash has lost a major general, and still the strongest major general!】
【Xia Bo: Believe him, he'll be out early!】
Heck, good thing Ash's strength is solid...... Masamune felt a bit uneasy in his heart; after seeing Light Screen, he discovered this Team Rocket's information,
White Light Curtain—
Now the battle field changes, becoming a water field; both sides sent out Water-type Pokémon.
Ash sent out Lobster Soldier, Xiao Feng sent out Golduck.
Even if Lobster Soldier was confused, it still defeated Golduck.
Xiao Feng sent out Metapod.
And Ash sent out Great King Swallow.
But Xiao Feng's Metapod specifically uses Disable, restricting Great King Swallow's peck; however, later Great King Swallow used Swallow Return to defeat Metapod.
Subsequently, Great King Swallow could still play its part; facing Xiao Feng's Scizor, Great King Swallow overwhelms Scizor in every aspect.
Thus Xiao Feng only had Walrein left.
Great King Swallow only trained against Electric, not against Ice.
After taking an Ice Beam, it went offline immediately!
Lobster Soldier coming out also couldn't win; Body Slam directly sent it away.
But afterwards Ash sent out Forest Lizard; even though it's countered, Ash has ways to deal with Water-type Pokémon.
Liu Bo is a classic example.
Ash had a flash of inspiration, luring the Imperial Fang Sea Lion to freeze its sleep into ice, turning it into an ice surface; thus the Imperial Fang Sea Lion could not make use of the water terrain, and its agility greatly decreased.
And the Forest Lizard also showed its prowess at that moment, defeating the Imperial Fang Sea Lion.
【Kenan: The later battles were not bad; Great King Swallow and Forest Lizard are strong. How to put it—does Ash only bring out his true strength when in desperate straits?】
【Yuan Zhi: If it had been like this earlier, it wouldn't have been so hard to fight.】
【Ma Zhishi: Master of reverse attributes, master of desperate straits, what else...】
No way, am I that thick-headed?
Ash carefully recalled that in his past battles, he seemed to really not look at the Pokémon's attributes, remembering he had said that even reverse attributes could win.
Moreover, even knowing the opponent's attribute counters his Pokémon, he still sends out the Pokémon that is countered.
If one wants to go further in battle, steady and solid fighting is key. One must first thoroughly study the opponent's data, get a clear grasp of their details, then devise specific tactics targeting them.
"Looks like I'll have to make a strategy from now on!"
Ash muttered.
"Ash, I'll help you collect and analyze—that's what I'm best at."
Shitron, standing nearby, heard Ash's words, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly.
Serena also hurried over, her face beaming with an enthusiastic smile, saying: "I'll help you too."
Her gentle voice was full of determination, her eyes sparkling with support and encouragement for Ash.
She has always been by Ash's side, witnessing his growth and effort; now she is willing to contribute her share to help Ash achieve his goal.
"Me too, me too!"
Yuliya hugged her Duduo mouse, bouncing over.
The Duduo mouse squeaked in her arms, as if also cheering for Ash.
"Pika pi!"
Pikachu stood on Ash's shoulder, seriously replying, "I won't act anymore from now on!"
Seeing his friends all supporting and helping him, Ash felt a warm current surge in his heart.
Just from the start of this Miare Conference, this time I don't believe we can't win; Pikachu and the Koga Ninja Frog will serve as the rear guard.
