Chapter 377: Is this Huge Power Slaking legal?

After entering the battle, the lineups of both sides were quickly displayed in front of the screen.

"What kind of lineup is this?"

Seeing Teacher Xiang's lineup, Flint scratched his head and blurted out.

How come even Slaking is used? This thing seems to be used only by Gym Leader Norman in Hoenn in the whole world, right?

"Could it be that Teacher Xiang has developed some new routines again?"

Aaron was also not sure, staring straight at the screen while his brows frowned involuntarily.

At first glance, all Pokémon have no characteristics, and they are generally not very strong?

"No!"

Only Lucian, who had a fuller understanding of Psychic-type Pokémon, realized something was wrong.

After his brain ran at high speed for more than ten seconds, he quickly reached a conclusion:

"This Slaking of Teacher Xiang must be especially careful!"

Whether it is Alolan Raichu or Medicham, they possess Psychic-type.

In other words... they are likely to use a very unpopular, but crucial auxiliary move for Slaking.

Skill Swap!

Even Lucian didn't react for a while.

If it weren't for this Slaking being too eye-catching, making him subconsciously think about Teacher Xiang's intentions, he might not have really thought of this move.

He wasn't familiar with Alolan Raichu, but Medicham was one of the Pokémon he often used himself.

"If Medicham swaps the Pure Power ability to Slaking..."

Lucian muttered to himself for a while, then his eyes showed a firm demeanor.

"Must not let him succeed!"

"Hiss—"

Reminded by Lucian, Flint and Aaron took a breath of cold air.

"Good guy, even Huge Power Slaking is set up?"

"As expected of Teacher Xiang..."

This brain hole is really not something ordinary people can think of!

Watching Lucian's lineup, Xiang Qingyu also fell into deep thought.

Bronzong, Sigilyph, Slowbro, Gallade, Medicham, Espeon.

From the lineup, it's not really certain whether Lucian will choose the Trick Room system or speed attack.

However, Xiang Qingyu believed in his judgment—

"With Lucian's level, coupled with the professional counterpart of a psychic user, he should be able to see through my tactics before the battle starts."

"Then, in order to counter my Skill Swap, his lead should be..."

"Sigilyph and Gallade, right?"

His own strategy of protecting Slaking is clear, and the way to counter it is very simple—

Just kill Slaking in seconds.

So use Sigilyph's speed advantage to open Tailwind first, and then let Gallade hit a Psycho Cut...

If it's a full-output Gallade, it really might kill Slaking in one slash.

However, after thinking for a while, Xiang Qingyu still chose the normal Slaking + Medicham combination.

The back row is Kilowattrel and Alolan Raichu.

With his lead determined, the arena screen was quickly generated, and the virtual images of Xiang Qingyu and Lucian stood on the battle field.

After both sides threw four Poké Balls at the same time, the lead Pokémon appeared in front of the audience.

Xiang Qingyu's side naturally goes without saying.

Lucian on the opposite side also chose Sigilyph and Gallade as the lead, just as he predicted.

【666, Teacher Xiang can really predict the future, he doesn't even act!】

【Even cheating can't know who the opponent will lead in advance; streamer, you are more awesome than Gedo, it's outrageous...】

【Poke, it's Teacher Xiang's iconic pre-reading; it's all effort and sweat, not a bit of numerical value!】

【Teacher Xiang is still too overpowered; he fought back and forth with two Elite Four members in the Masters Tournament. Isn't it easy to pre-read a new Elite Four member's operation?】

【Now that you mention it, it's true!】

Because the pre-reading was successful, the barrage did not hesitate to praise Xiang Qingyu.

But he didn't have time to look at these at this time.

Although Lucian hadn't been in the Elite Four position for long, his strength was definitely beyond doubt.

He might be some distance away from the Champion, but he was considered above average among the Elite Four; if he continued to grow, he might have a chance to challenge the Champion.

And his understanding of tactics was not bad, his battle foundation was solid, and he was very flexible in battle.

Just from the fact that he could quickly see through his tactical ideas, it could be seen that he was definitely well-prepared for how to counter.

It's just a pity...

"The game between battles is like this; as long as you calculate one more layer than your opponent, you will naturally have a significant advantage."

After Xiang Qingyu said such a meaningful sentence, he spoke immediately at the moment the battle started:

"Slaking, use Taunt on Sigilyph!"

"Medicham, Fake Out, target Gallade!"

While he was commanding, Lucian also spoke instantly—

"Sigilyph, Tailwind; Gallade, use Psycho Cut on Slaking!"

The two sides' command voices sounded one after another.

Relying on psychic power, Medicham on Xiang Qingyu's side took the lead, instantly appearing in front of Gallade, blocking its path.

At the same time, before Gallade could make a move, Medicham slapped it in front of it, causing it to be stunned on the spot.

Unless Gallade uses Mega Evolution to obtain the Inner Focus ability that can be immune to flinching, this slap will obviously cause it significant psychological trauma, and even the elbow blade flashing with light on its hand will subconsciously retract.

On the other side, Sigilyph, who wanted to use Tailwind to assist its teammate, was about to flap its wings when it suddenly noticed the Slaking lying on the opposite side beckoning to it.

Sigilyph's full anger soared into the sky, and the effect of Taunt was triggered.

For the next period of time, it could only use attack-type moves.

And the command Lucian just made for it to use Tailwind could naturally no longer be executed.

Just one round of confrontation, and Xiang Qingyu's side had already gained a significant advantage.

【Good guy, does this count as double blockade? It's equivalent to Lucian doing nothing just now!】

【Is Slaking's speed so fast? Sigilyph was ready to take off, but it was abruptly interrupted by it...】

【Upstairs, if Slaking can be serious, it's also a numerical monster, okay!】

Just as the barrage said, with similar configurations on both sides, even if Sigilyph rolled its speed to the extreme, it couldn't be faster than Slaking. ===== CHAPTER 379 =====
