Pokémon: Master System.

"Ahem, today is the first G3 league match of the year."

…………

The host's explanation also made everyone realize the essence of the skill of attribute swapping.

At this moment, everyone thought of four words: "tactical master".

Turning the tide of battle requires only one skill.

Everyone looked at Xia Yu, seeing his confident demeanor, and only then did they belatedly realize that Xia Yu might have already set a trap for Jie Hui.

When Xia Yu deliberately had Ai Guan Shi guard the Abyss Thrust skill instead of the Poison skill, he must have already planned the strategy.

Perhaps Xia Yu had already begun making his plans from that time onward.

Faced with the Scorpion King's Feather Rest regaining its strength and clearing the fog and the area, he remained very calm and did not allow Ai Guan Shi to make any response.

He simply had Aissagi use the two enhancement skills, Substitute and Meditation, in quick succession.

Because he knew that once he used the trait swap skill, he would be completely invincible.

If Jie Hui hadn't insisted that Scorpio King use its taunting skill, Xia Yu would definitely have delayed even longer.

A tactical genius! A stroke of genius!

…………

Chapter 608 The Final Battle

After losing its healing properties, the Scorpion King suffered from the corrosive effects of the toxins, showing a pained expression on its face and rapidly losing its strength.

"Xia Yu... is truly a formidable opponent."

"He clearly has the strength to crush his opponents and fight beyond his level, yet he remains so steady, using perfect tactics to overwhelm Xie Hui."

“I also think Xia Yu is really terrifying. Jie Hui thought that she had gone to great lengths to put Ai Guanshi into a state of severe poisoning.”

"In fact, it was just a flaw that Xia Yu deliberately created."

"Xia Yu is truly a hopeless opponent. Whether it's the raw power of Pokémon or the tactical aspects, Xia Yu is terrifyingly strong."

"Is there any more fighting to come?"

"Sableye is completely countered by Psychic Field, and Devilsaur's psychic powers are twice as weak. Under Psychic Field, even with Black Mist, it couldn't withstand a single hit from Indeedee after three meditations."

"It's over, Jie Hui is going to be wiped out by Ai Guanshi."

…………

"Aiguanshi, enhance your mental strength!" Xia Yu's voice rang out, and Aiguanshi, after three meditations, unleashed an astonishing burst of supernatural energy.

Like ocean waves or an abyss, it surged towards the Scorpion King, engulfing, swallowing, and blasting it away. Combined with the damage from its deadly poison, it directly knocked it down.

"boom!"

Scorpion King slammed heavily against the wall and fell silently to the ground.

"Scorpion King is incapacitated; Abbot has won!"

"Please release your second Pokémon, Jie Hui."

.........

As the referee's voice rang out, Xia Yu secured his first victory, taking a temporary lead of 1-0.

"A fantastic match. I'm still savoring Xia Yu's command right now."

"At such a critical moment, Xia Yu actually thought of using the trait swap skill to break the deadlock. It's just too crazy. To be honest, I really never thought that this skill could be used like this."

"Brilliant. What boundless imagination!" The host exclaimed again at Xia Yu's skill choice, then changed the subject back to the match: "Xia Yu relied on the trait swap of the Constable to reverse the game and win the first match."

"Now the problem has been handed over to Xie Hui again."

"Of the two Pokémon that Kaihui has left, Sableye is definitely no match for Indeedee, so Kaihui's only choice is Toxapex."

"Even though Superbad has top-tier defense and magic resistance, it might not be able to withstand Indeedee's strong psychic powers after he has meditated three times."

"But she seemed to have no other choice."

…………

"Go, Supervillain!" Jie Hui's voice rang out. Even though she already knew that defeat was inevitable, she had no choice but to send Supervillain into the fray.

"Love to serve, and be spirited and diligent!"

"Super bad star, bunker!"

With a surge of psychic energy, Toxapex had no choice but to use its Bunker ability to block Indeedee's attack.

"Supervillain, Black Mist!"

"Aid, continue to chant with strong mental focus!"

After surviving the attack with its Bunker skill, Kai immediately ordered Toxapex to use its Haze skill in an attempt to remove Indeedee's Special Attack and Special Defense buffs in a final, desperate struggle.

Hearing Jie Hui's orders, Xia Yu didn't care. He knew he had the upper hand, and no matter what Jie Hui did next, he just needed to have Ai Guanshi keep launching attacks.

Sableye and Supervillain are no match for Esper. No matter how much Kai struggles, victory will surely be hers.

…………

"boom!"

Supervillain was completely unable to withstand Indeedee's psychic powers and was severely injured in one blow, leaving him on the verge of death. He was no match for Indeedee at all.

However, at the same time, Superbad Star's black mist also took effect, spreading all around and clearing away Indeedee's ability enhancements.

Even so, it was still difficult to reverse the situation.

“Love to serve, and a continuous and strong mental focus.”

With another burst of mental power, a surging, overwhelming mental force swept in like a vast ocean, directly defeating Supervillain.

In this way, Jie Hui was left with only one bewitching eye, which was no longer a threat.

…………

"Congratulations to Xia Yu for winning this match and advancing to the final. Let's also give a round of applause to Xie Hui."

As expected, Xia Yu's beloved servant easily defeated Gouhunyan, achieving a three-game winning streak and advancing to the finals.

Amid cheers from the audience, Xia Yu waved back and headed backstage.

Xia Yu only had half an hour to rest before the final battle, and the intense competition was taking its toll on him.

Fortunately, this competition only affected the rankings and not the eligibility to participate. Moreover, the remaining two opponents were both decent players, unlike Jie Hui who played dirty.

No matter who advances to the finals, Xia Yu will win easily.

…………

Backstage.

“How are the ratings?”

"Ranked first in its time slot, 92.32% of viewers watched Xia Yu's match, while only 7.68% watched the other semi-final."

"Especially after Xia Yu's beloved servant used his trait-swapping skill to turn the tide, the ratings soared."

"There's only one match left. After that, send someone to contact Xia Yu and ask him when he plans to participate in the G2 League! This tournament was organized too hastily, and we still have many shortcomings. We must do better next time!"

…………

Half an hour later.

Xia Yu stood on the field again. Although the G3 League was just a small competition on the way to becoming a Gym Leader, it was still a great opportunity to compete on such a big stage.

Facing nearly 100,000 spectators and listening to their desperate shouts, Xia Yu felt a surge of excitement and couldn't help but feel his blood boil!

"Xia Yu!"

"I love you! Xia Yu!"

"I want to marry you, Xia Yu!"

"Fans in the front row, please do not throw underwear onto the playing area!"

…………

The enthusiastic fans were a bit overwhelming for Xia Yu, but they also infected him with their passion, making him excited. In the upcoming match, he will go all out and fully demonstrate his powerful strength!

Similarly, Xia Yu's opponent, Jin Yuanhua, was also extremely nervous. He had never stepped onto such a big stage before, nor had he ever imagined that he would one day be able to stand on such a stage.

His gaze fell on Xia Yu. If it weren't for Xia Yu, he might never have been able to stand on such a stage in his entire life.

Jin Yuanhua took a deep breath, his gaze towards Xia Yu becoming resolute.

He knew this was very likely the only time he would ever stand on such a stage.

He knew his chances of winning were slim, but faced with this only opportunity, he had to do everything he could to seize it!

"Game start!"

Jin Yuanhua gripped the Poké Ball tightly, looked at Xia Yu with a determined expression and piercing gaze, and then suddenly sent out his Pokémon: "Go, Parasect!"

"Go, Bloodwing Wyvern!" Xia Yu's voice rang out.
