But even Professor Oak's absolute ace, Dragonite, is only level 80, practically a legendary level trainer...
And the cat boss in Sakaki's arms, which serves as a mascot, is actually this good...
So how terrifying must his ace bee, Nidoking, and even his most powerful bee, be?
It's worth noting that in the manga, Giovanni's Beedrill could easily defeat Lance, the Elite Four member, and even helped him easily capture Deoxys in the FireRed and LeafGreen arcs...
"Hoo..." Byun Tae breathed a sigh of relief, a slight smile playing on his lips.
As a qualified pervert, and gradually becoming more and more perverted,
He said that if the opponent doesn't have any strength, it doesn't seem very interesting, does it?
Chapter 83 Tactics (Bonus chapter for 220 monthly votes)
"The battle rules are 3V3, and only the challenger has the right to change Pokémon. Now, the battle begins!" the referee announced.
"Normally, I'd go easy on novice trainers, but I've heard you're a talented one, so I'll make it a bit more difficult for you..."
Giovanni said, throwing out a Poké Ball: "Sandslash, I'm counting on you for this match."
“San…!”
A small, upright sprite with green, spiky scales on its back appeared in the arena.
Its claws are sharp spikes, which look exceptionally sharp.
Sandslash Lv53 (Beginner Dojo)
Byunta narrowed his eyes. This was probably just a third-rate fighter that Sakaki usually used to deal with in gym battles... Let alone the first team, he probably couldn't even make it into his second or third team.
However, he wasn't under much pressure. After all, he and Giovanni weren't from the same era. Give him two years, and he'd probably catch up.
With that thought in mind, Byunta threw out a Poké Ball: "Mildark, I choose you!"
"Mio—!"
Milotic emerged from its Poké Ball, its tail swishing in a rainbow glow. After this period of watering, Milotic's level had also significantly increased.
【Menas lv35 (Advanced)】
In addition, it has mastered several powerful skills, including Self-Regeneration, Water Tail, Mystic Guardian, Surfing, Rain Prayer, Coil, and Water Cannon.
With a thought, Byunta further enriched Milotic's skill pool.
However, due to a lack of regular exercise, this time I only spent 500 perverted points to learn three skills: splashing cold water, freezing wind, and tickling.
Upon seeing the skill pool, Byunta's lips curled into a slight smile.
He had already devised a strategy.
"You can go first." Sakaki looked at Milotic, his expectation in his eyes even more obvious.
Byunta didn't stand on ceremony and immediately waved his hand, ordering, "Milkyr, use Coil!"
Coil: Change your moves, coil like a snake to concentrate your energy, and increase your attack, defense and hit rate by one level each.
"Quicksand Hell, then use Earthquake."
Quicksand Hell: A Ground-type physical attack move with a power of 35. It creates quicksand and sandstorms on the ground, trapping and binding the opponent, causing continuous damage for a period of time, and the move cannot be switched out.
Earthquake: A Ground-type physical attack move with a power of 100. It slams into the ground, creating a shockwave that deals widespread damage to Pokémon on the field.
Giovanni's response was simple: he displayed Sand Hell to lock Milotic in place, then used Earthquake to launch a powerful attack.
Even though Ground-type moves are not very effective against Water-type Milotic, they can still deal considerable damage due to the level advantage.
The ground gradually turned into quicksand, trapping Milotic in the center, and the seismic waves were about to hit, causing the entire gym to shake violently.
Gym-level Pokémon attacks already have a certain destructive potential.
Byun Tai narrowed his eyes, seeing that the coiling was complete, and ordered: "Jump up to avoid damage, then use Water Ring."
“mio~”
With such perfect coordination, Milotic reacted almost simultaneously. Her tail slammed against the ground, and her countless leaps out of the water during her Feebas days allowed her to hover in the air for a moment.
The colorful scales in the yellow sand constantly reflected light, and Milotic successfully avoided most of the combo attacks.
At the same time, a curtain of water descended and enveloped her, a faint blue fluorescent light appeared, and her aura began to gradually recover.
Water Flow Ring: Creates a water curtain that slowly restores the user's stamina.
Clearly, Byunta is planning a protracted battle.
Sakaki's eyes showed approval: "Not bad, but what are you going to do now? Sandslash, roll closer."
The Sandslash curled up into a ball and rapidly approached Milotic.
"Frozen Wind!"
“mio——”
A series of icy blue streams of air emerged from Milotic's mouth, and Sandslash's body also became more icy white, causing it to slow down its approach.
Icy Wind: Ice-type Special Attack, Power 55. Attacks the opponent with a fierce gust of cold wind, lowering their Speed by 1 stage.
"Use the Tear Claw!"
Giovanni ignored the freezing wind attack, since it wasn't a STAB move. Although it was super effective against Ground-type Sandslash, the damage it caused was limited.
As a Normal-type move, Tear Claw, which has a certain armor-breaking effect, will definitely severely damage Milotic if it hits.
However, Byunta was prepared.
"Use cold water!"
Just before Pangolin's claws hit Menas, a water ball splashed directly in its face.
The attack of the Sand King also slowed down a bit.
"Boom..."
Milos cried out in pain and staggered back several meters before finally regaining his balance.
Aside from looking a bit disheveled, he didn't seem to have suffered any major injuries.
Spray Cold Water: A Water-type Special Attack with a power of 50. Sprays a sluggish stream of cold water at the opponent, dealing damage and lowering their Attack by 1 stage.
Byunta's lips curled into a smile: "Continue, use the coiled coil technique."
As his instructions arrived, Sakaki's expression gradually became serious.
He realized that he seemed to have been trapped in a scheme devised by Byunta.
Coiling, leaping, water circulation, freezing wind, splashing cold water
The five moves weren't particularly powerful, but they left Giovanni somewhat at a loss for how to counter them.
The useless skill Leap makes the almost guaranteed hit, wide-range, indiscriminate Earthquake lose its deterrent effect, which means Sandslash has to fight at close range to make full use of its physical attack advantage.
However, this means that one must approach the area despite the slowing effect of the freezing wind.
But when you actually manage to hit them, you discover that the opponent has abilities like coiling up to increase defense, splashing cold water to weaken your attacks, and constantly using water rings to restore stamina...
It seems like you're stuck in a vicious cycle if you can't kill them instantly.
And just as Byunta had imagined, when the coiled coils were stacked for the third time, coupled with two hits of cold water, Sandslash no longer posed a threat to Milotic, whose defense was already quite strong.
Although Giovanni used Rock Blockade and Rock Slide to continuously throw large rocks, he managed to block Milotic while dealing effective damage.
However, since the Rock Tomb move has a slowing effect, it actually triggers Milotic's Competitive ability, giving her a 2-stage Special Attack boost.
Instant special attack doubles.
Then... Sandslash became even more pathetic.
Just as Giovanni finally approached Milotic once again, intending to use his ultimate move, Final Impact, to decide the outcome...
Byunta revealed his trump card, immediately regenerating on the spot to test his recovery ability.
Ultimately, it took the hit of the 150-power Normal-type move and was fortunate enough to trigger Milotic's Charming Body ability.
The Sandslash is in a trance state and unable to launch an effective attack.
At this point, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.
Byunta first used Rain Prayer to summon rain, then coiled up to six stacks, and finally used Self-Regeneration to fully restore his stamina, followed by a Water Tail...
"Bam—!!"
Pangolin cried out in pain as its colorful tail, enveloped by the rushing water, slammed into the ground.
After coiling six times, Milotic's attack buff had stacked to 300%, and this Water Tail attack had a base power of 360...
In addition, there are the bonuses from its own element, the rain effect, and the benefits from the Mysterious Water Drop...
Pangolin was unsurprisingly rendered unable to fight.
Meanwhile, the fine cracks on the ground also demonstrated the terror of Milotic's attack.
Byunta grinned and glanced at the three girls watching the game from the side.
Xiao Huang looked at him with admiration, Xiao Lan was impressed, and Xiao Xia was shocked.
"Hey...it's just gym battles...I've played this non-replaceable mode countless times when I was playing the game..."
Byun Tae muttered to himself.
He even used a level 1 CocoDora to solo a team of six level 100 legendary beasts...
This was practically basic stuff in my past life.
Chapter 84: Admit defeat?
[Ding! The host's combat skills have shocked everyone present and earned Giovanni's special regard. 1000 Abnormal Points have been awarded!]
"Sandslash is unable to battle. Gym Leader, please replace it with a different Pokémon!" the referee declared after a brief moment of surprise.
Sakaki raised his hand and retrieved Sandslash, staring at Byunta, the inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart growing even stronger.
Byunta stared at him, anticipating his next opponent.
With his +6 attack and defense bonus, Rain of the Night, Water Ring, and fully-equipped Milotic, he's eager to push through teams of higher levels.
However...
Sakaki raised his hand.
"call out--"
A gleaming metal object was tossed over from a distance.
Byuntae caught it casually.
This is a green badge, shaped like an ear of wheat, a testament to victory in the challenge against the Viridian Gym.
"Young man, your strategy and tactics have earned my approval. There is no need for further battle. This badge is proof of your successful challenge."
Sakaki put his hands behind his back and slowly turned around: "Please go back."
After saying that, he slowly walked into the darkness.
"Bian Tai, you're amazing!" Xiaoxia immediately ran over, grabbed Bian Tai's arm, and shook it.
Meanwhile, Byunta also sensed a pair of soft, warm hands.
Of course, because of her alluring figure, Xiaoxia's face began to flush.
Byunta curled his lip: "That Sakaki is really something, he ran away without even finishing the fight... coward."
As Sakaki was gradually moving away in the passage, he suddenly stumbled, his mouth twitching violently.
Damn, I almost ruined my reputation today.
Although sending their own first and second teams would certainly guarantee an easy victory, that victory would be anything but honorable.
It can only be said that Byunta has achieved a level of near-unsolvable success within the limits of the rules.
Or rather, Giovanni wasn't serious at first.
After all, if the first attack had been the Ultimate Impact instead of the Tear Claw, the battle might have ended right at the start.
But then again, have you ever seen someone who is two major levels ahead and then unleashes their full power right from the start?
