Chapter 26: Art is a big explosion!

After roughly scanning Iono's lineup, Qingyu already had a basic understanding of her playstyle in his heart.

Kilowattrel, Electivire, Bellibolt, Electrode, Luxray, Mismagius.

"A standard single-type lineup for a Gym Leader, but I'm not qualified to talk about others either."

The overall speed line of Iono's team is very high; facing his relatively clumsy Steel Legion, the core idea must be to grab the first move and play fast offense.

In the Pokémon world, each type actually has its own characteristics.

The characteristic of the Electric type is speed.

Although there may be some low-speed Pokémon, the overall speed line is very exaggerated.

"Under heaven, all martial arts can be broken except speed," especially a certain electric pillar that rolls the speed line to the sky, which is even more of a leader.

Although the Electric type does not restrain the Steel type, Steel resisting Electric is a real resistance.

Looking at the types, Qingyu is obviously at a slight disadvantage here.

"However, it's not a big problem."

Qingyu nodded and quickly determined the lead.

After entering the battle field, the virtual images of the Trainers on both sides threw out a Poké Ball at the same time.

On Qingyu's side, it was still Skarmory, covered in silver-white and with sharp eyes, leading the way.

On Iono's field, a black-gold flying bird was also hovering, and electric sacs under its beak expanded and flashed with sparks during breathing.

【Using Skarmory as a lead against an Electric-type Gym Leader, isn't that a bit too formulaic, streamer?】

【Don't tell me you want to let go; streamer, you can't be confused by the bad woman; you are a man who aspires to reach Master Ball!】

【I don't allow you to say Iono is a bad woman; she is my good wife~】

【Who has yellow urine, hurry up and wake this brother up; don't let him taste a bit of sweetness!】

"Skarmory, Stealth Rock."

Qingyu had no time to ignore the comments that went off-track instantly, and decisively gave the command.

Although Skarmory's performance was very good before, it obviously won't have room to play in this game.

So instead of hiding it until the end, it's better to take it out at the start to contribute to the team.

As a sacrifice position, setting up two layers of entry hazards is a success.

Skarmory spread its wings, preparing to send a small gift to the opponent's field, while the Kilowattrel on the opposite side also made the same move.

"Kilowattrel, Tailwind!"

Hearing the cute loli voice give the command, Qingyu raised an eyebrow.

Saying I'm formulaic, isn't Iono more formulaic than me?

In the situation where my team obviously can't grab the first move, she actually wasted time to let me set up another layer of entry hazards...

"There's such a good thing?"

Qingyu naturally couldn't let go of such a "white-given" opportunity, and immediately commanded Skarmory to add a layer of Spikes after Stealth Rock.

While the Spikes were scattered, Kilowattrel's attack also arrived.

"Electro Ball!"

The fast-as-lightning Kilowattrel accumulated a terrifying voltage and hit Skarmory accurately in an instant, making a crisp crackling sound of electric current.

As everyone knows, Skarmory is an excellent physical shield.

But in front of an Electric-type Pokémon that is good at energy attacks and restrains itself, the durability doesn't seem to be enough... really?

Saying it's not enough, it's actually enough.

The moment the move hit, Skarmory's HP bar almost cleared directly.

But it didn't fall.

"The Sturdy ability is still very useful in battle, especially for Skarmory, the tool man who sets up entry hazards."

Qingyu nodded.

At the same time, based on the damage of this Electro Ball, he roughly guessed the configuration of this Kilowattrel.

Skarmory almost owed two lives; it is definitely the Wind Power ability.

Kilowattrel's signature ability: when attacked by a wind move or when the team uses Tailwind, it enters a charging state.

Tailwind itself can increase the power of Electro Ball, and after charging, the damage of the next Electric-type move is directly doubled.

If so, it is understandable why Iono chose to start with Tailwind.

However, anyway, it's clearing the HP bar, and the overflowing damage actually has no meaning.

Even if it survived by relying on the Sturdy ability, Skarmory couldn't do anything to Kilowattrel, and after setting up a layer of Spikes at the end, it gloriously completed its mission.

【Although it set up quite a few entry hazards, Skarmory just gave it away like this; I feel there will be foreshadowing, streamer...】

【The battle between Gym Leaders is indeed much more exciting; the previous crushing games didn't even require the streamer to think.】

【Tsk, losing one point first is still very painful; how come I feel like I'm going to lose!】

"Tailwind, huh..."

After Qingyu muttered to himself, he sent out the next main force without hesitation.
