Chapter 281

【"Our Sinnoh Champion"? Teacher Yu, you are a Gym Leader in Paldea, hey!】

【Sinnoh's move is too ruthless, actually using a Champion to poach people...】

【Teacher Yu: I'm really not familiar with Paldea, you know, I've long wanted to take my talent to Sinnoh!】

"..."

Qingyu realized belatedly that not many people knew he was actually from Sinnoh.

"Ahem—, both contestants are ready to enter the field, let's turn our attention to this exciting battle!"

Noticing that the host's opening remarks had temporarily come to an end, Qingyu quickly changed the subject skillfully, while aiming the Rotom at the battle field ahead.

The heroic Cynthia and the mature and steady Hassel quickly appeared on the screen.

Seeing this meticulous Paldean Elite Four again made Qingyu quickly fall into memories.

Like the Cortondo Gym Leader Katy who went out to collect wind, Elite Four Hassel is also a trainer who loves art, regarded by Katy as a life mentor, and will even serve as an art teacher in the academy in the future.

He is also the young master of the Dragon Tamer family in the Paldea region, but he ran away from home when he was young to pursue his dream as a musician and never returned to the family to inherit the position of head of the family.

Always feel that he might have a lot in common with Lance.

With a whistle from the referee, Cynthia and Hassel threw their Poké Balls at the same time.

"Hassel didn't choose Duraludon as the starter here, but sent out the pseudo-legendary of the Paldea region, Baxcalibur."

Qingyu narrowed his eyes, showing an 'as expected' expression, and continued:

"Because there is the Sinnoh Champion's Path as a reference, the Pokémon in Cynthia's hands can be predicted in advance."

"With only two Dragon-type Pokémon, namely Garchomp and Kommo-o, sending out Baxcalibur as the starter is a very simple matchup game—"

"What he's catching is Cynthia's ace, Garchomp."

"However, clearly his prediction was also predicted in advance."

While Qingyu was speaking, a red light also shot out from the Poké Ball on Cynthia's side, and the fierce-looking Kommo-o appeared brilliantly.

This was the result Qingyu and Cynthia discussed last night.

Whether it's Garchomp or Kommo-o in her hands, they both pose a significant threat to Duraludon, and if she's not careful, she might play herself into a corner.

Therefore, he speculated that Hassel would likely not use Duraludon as the starter.

Although it's not that there's no way to play if you're type-countered, who wouldn't want to have an advantage when entering the field?

As for Hassel's other choices...

Unless he, a Dragon Tamer, can pull out a Fairy-type Pokémon on the spot, Kommo-o can touch any of them.

As a pseudo-legendary with a solid build, besides the Fairy weakness, Kommo-o can even wrestle with Baxcalibur, who is good at Ice and Dragon types.

Both sides can cause effective strikes to each other, and what they are competing is the trainer's command ability.

And this point is exactly what Cynthia is best at.

"Baxcalibur, Icicle Spear!"

Just as the match started, Hassel chose to seize the initiative, trying to use the attack method of throwing icicles to consume Kommo-o's stamina.

Cynthia smiled slightly and immediately made a countermeasure—

"Kommo-o, use Iron Defense!"

Haven't slept well for the past two days, the writing block is a bit serious, so I'll update 3 chapters first, eat a meal and continue writing.
