Chapter 465: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 218

The white arena, very familiar to the audience, appeared once again. Qingyu and Kona's virtual avatars walked out from their respective tunnels. After arriving at the battle field and standing still, their eyes focused on their opponents, and they soon revealed smiles full of fighting spirit.

Subsequently, two Poké Balls were thrown out in an instant.

"Oh? It's actually a Slowking?"

Watching the red creature that appeared from the red light, with a giant shell on its head and eyes full of wisdom, Qingyu immediately raised an eyebrow.

(Slowking)

As perhaps the only existence in the team capable of holding the line, he was not surprised that Kona would choose to send out this Pokémon at the start.

Moreover, he figured out Kona's intention almost instantly.

【Is this the supposedly very rare Slowking? Isn't Slowking an evolution of Slowpoke that has wisdom? Why does it still look so silly...】

【Don't let its silly appearance fool you; in reality, Slowking's IQ is extremely high. It can almost rival Oranguru, and it also holds the title of "Sage of the Sea."】

【I understand the logic, but why does the Galar Slowking look even stranger, as if it's full of bad intentions?】

As Qingyu's Torkoal landed quickly and the battle was about to begin, he had no time to look at what the comments were saying.

The opening of this battle was very interesting; neither side chose a lead strategy aimed at winning through speed, but instead, both pulled out two Pokémon with ridiculously slow speed.

It was truly a case of Crouching Tiger meeting Hidden Dragon.

After Torkoal entered the field, the cyber sunlight on the screen quickly became noticeably harsh, signifying that its Drought ability had quietly activated, already affecting the weather.

"Slowking, Cold Joke!"

Noticing the change in weather, Kona quickly spoke to issue a command, and at the same time, Qingyu immediately made a counter-move—

"Torkoal, Sunny Day!"

After the two silly Pokémon looked at each other, starting with Slowking telling a lame cold joke, the atmosphere in the arena plummeted instantly, and even the sun in the sky was chilled to the point of losing its color.

Soon, a few snowflakes began to drift down from the air. The culprit, Slowking, revealed a smile of a plan successfully executed. After waving at the still-unresponsive Torkoal, it was quickly recalled into its ball by Kona.

And after it disappeared, it was only when a few snowflakes landed on Torkoal's scorching shell and quickly sublimated into water vapor that it reacted belatedly.

A burst of scorching energy was spewed from Torkoal's mouth, and soon a warm current once again enveloped the battle field.

"As expected, the opponent really chose to snatch the weather at the start."

Qingyu revealed a "just as I thought" smile.

Although it was different from his expectation of using rain to cover the sun, it was still a successful prediction; he had even seen through the opponent's bottom line.

"But it's a pity, when it comes to who is slower, there probably isn't a Pokémon that can be mentioned in the same breath as Torkoal."

"Speaking of which, didn't Flint ask before how a Sun Team should fight a Trick Room Team?"

"You just have to look at Torkoal's silly appearance to know that no one in a Trick Room Team can be faster than it~"

"It can trigger Sunny Day with its ability at the start, it can easily dominate in a Trick Room Team, and its own firepower is also very abundant; the power of an Eruption cannot be underestimated."

"Isn't this a perfect choice?"

"If that doesn't work, Mega Camerupt is also a very good choice; both of these are powerful attackers that can be slotted into a Trick Room Team."

Qingyu skillfully began to promote them, and soon countless special effects of gifted rewards appeared before the screen.

There was no need to guess who it was.

However, his attention was mainly focused on the battle before him, ready to make counter-moves based on the opponent's actions at any time, so he had no time to thank Flint for the gift.

Slowking's exit did not successfully snatch the weather, so Kona clearly thought for a long time when choosing a replacement Pokémon.

And taking this opportunity, Qingyu finally had time to glance at the comments.

【Is Teacher Yu cheating again? I didn't even know what move the opponent used, and Teacher Yu had already predicted it successfully, directly snatching the weather back. It's ridiculous!】

【Slowking's cold joke is indeed cold enough; it can actually trigger Snow weather...】

【Okay, this is very reasonable!】

"Cold Joke is Slowking's signature move; it is very niche, so it's normal for the average person not to know about it."

"However..."

"Can Teacher Yu be an average person? This little trick still can't stump me!"

Qingyu smiled and teased slightly, and Kona finally made her decision.

As another Poké Ball was thrown, a Pokémon with a pair of super-long tusks that looked very troublesome to deal with made a brilliant entrance.

Mamoswine, one of the icons of the Ice type with terrifying combat power, appeared on the field and let out a roar that shook the heavens. ===== CHAPTER 467 =====
