I, the first trainer of the new world

Pokémon weather team players are like this: when they first learn how to battle, they think about how to activate the weather. Once the weather is activated, it's your death day. Then you get killed by the opponent's various prediction restrictions.

Only players who have played weather teams for a long time will understand... you need to make the opponent guess whether you will turn on the weather or not to win.

So initially, pure weather teams would add all sorts of amazing rotations to their teams after experiencing various battles, such as adding a Grass/Steel in a rain team, a Dragonite in a sunny team, and a Snow team... Let's just leave the Snow team out of it.

Weather team?

I'll switch roles right away, and guess when I'll activate the weather feature?

Lei Yan now has a sense of weather getting into his head. He is good at using sandstorm tactics and has also reserved opportunities to activate the weather for various situations. Whether he has an advantage, a disadvantage, or is being targeted, he can always find an opportunity to make the Dragon Head Mole take off.

Steal Sword Dance when you enter the field, then activate the weather the moment Tailwind disappears. The main goal is to catch Serena off guard and lure her into attacking with Starmie. She won't immediately switch to Arrowhawk, which can activate Tailwind back immediately.

By the time Serena realized that Thunderrock's purpose was the weather, Tailwind had just disappeared. Even if she sent out Talonflame again when it was not in good condition, it could not activate Tailwind before Excadrill and could only be beaten up.

The idea is good, but it's not surprising enough.

As the smoke and fire gradually dissipated, Lei Yan's initial disbelief subsided. Although still shocked, he was now more concerned about the situation on the field.

As the smoke and dust dissipated, the charred, blackened dragon-headed ground squirrel appeared before everyone's eyes.

Its arms were charred black, its whole body was covered in wounds, and it stood there staggeringly, staring intently at the Arrowhawk with its large, reddened eyes.

It's in a very bad state right now, extremely bad.

"In the end, the level difference was too great, so I couldn't kill it instantly." Serena was still smiling, but this time her eyes were full of laughter, without the previous coldness.

At least she really looks like a sunny and cheerful girl.

Lei Yan remained silent.

Excadrill, whose condition was clearly poor, and Talonflame, whose condition was poor but still had some energy left, were almost unable to lose, even though Excadrill had already used Sword Dance once, due to the speed advantage of the opponent.

Given the current situation, there is almost no chance of winning.

Yes... almost none.

But it's not entirely absent.

still have a chance!

Lei Yan's eyes sharpened again, and he recalled Excadrill into its Poké Ball without hesitation: "Excadrill, trust me."

The Excadrill's Poké Ball swayed gently.

Clearly, the dragon-headed groundhog was also holding its breath at this moment.

The second Poké Ball was thrown.

"Light-hearted, yet provocative!"

Don't you want to start a second favorable wind?

Qianlin pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Come back, Fierce Arrow Eagle."

A flash of red light, and the provocation failed.

The gem starfish landed instantly in the arena, and the next second, the red light flashed again.

"Gem Starfish, turn back quickly." Qianlin grinned.

Almost simultaneously, Float was returned to its Poké Ball, and Excadrill landed back on the field.

"Is it really necessary?!" Lei Yan exclaimed in despair.

boom!

The force of the rapid return was not very strong. The wounded Dragon Head Grub had just opened its eyes when it was slashed again by the water blade. With red eyes and gritted teeth, it looked at the gem starfish that was so close to it and reached out with its claws at the fastest speed.

Then the starfish turned into red light again and disappeared from the spot.

"Of course." Qianlin chuckled. "Fierce Arrow Eagle, Shining Charge."

The same scene played out again. The moment the Flaming Eagle appeared, it was engulfed in flames. The firebird swept across the sky and charged forward like an arrow. The ground turned red under the light of the flames, and the wind it stirred up seemed to carry heat waves.

But... there's one difference from the first fierce attack.

No tailwind!

Lei Yan gritted his teeth and reached out the Poké Ball with lightning speed, capturing the Excadrill a second before the flames swept past it.

A terrifying firebird circled in the sky, its scorching heat waves impacting the surroundings.

Just when Qianlin thought Leiyan was going to use this method to dodge Flare Blitz, he saw him excitedly throw out a Poké Ball: "Light Blow! Absorb Power!"

It absorbs power and can restore health based on the opponent's attack power.

Is this the key to victory?

A look of relief unconsciously appeared on Qianlin's face.

The firebird swept across the sky, and the instant it landed lightly, it pounced on its opponent, the terrifying temperature distorting the air itself.

She cried out in pain, her pink body turning black at a visible speed, and tears even welled up in her eyes.

But it is the Gym Leader's Pokémon. Even if it is only a reserve Pokémon, it is still the Gym Leader's Pokémon!

Amidst the fiery red flames, a faint, not-so-bright, green light flickered. The fluorescent green radiance was not strong, yet it shone with an undeniable vitality. In the firelight, the Fiery Arrow Eagle and the charred, light-as-a-flying creature exchanged a glance, their immense fiery red radiance and the tiny fluorescent green light reflecting each other.

I deliberately created the same situation as before, making me lower my guard and ignore that the tailwind had passed. I let Excadrill withstand a non-fatal blow, and when I thought I was about to win, I took advantage of the time difference to switch in lightly. When Talonflame couldn't dodge at close range, I used Drain Power to withstand Flame Charge.

Not bad, very good.

Qianlin nodded in satisfaction.

Lei Yan was unaware that he was already at his peak of excitement: "Lightweight! Take it down! Spray water!"

At almost face-to-face close range, Talonflame couldn't dodge. Even using a Poké Ball wouldn't be enough to recall Talonflame, as the damage from multiple Flare Strike attacks combined with the existing level difference made it difficult to avoid.

This attack was too much for the Arrow Eagle to handle.

Fiery red, shattered.

The flames that had spread across half the field were extinguished by the erupting water volcano, and the fluctuations of water energy suppressed the flames. At such close range, the force almost completely impacted the Arrow Eagle.

There was no roar, no explosion.

The Arrowhawk gritted its teeth as its body was swept away by the terrifying water flow of the volcano, flying backward. The erupting water seemed to turn the entire venue into a paradise of flowing water, with raindrops mixed with giant waves crashing against the entire venue.

Snapped--

The Fiery Arrow Eagle crashed heavily into the water.

"Fri~"

Lightly panting heavily, its pink body covered in burns from the flames, it still gazed at the direction of the Arrowhawk with its tear-streaked, resolute eyes.

A few seconds later, the fiery red body of the Arrowhawk floated to the surface of the water.

The referees raised their hands almost simultaneously: "The Arrowhawk is incapacitated!"

Is the referee still here?

Everyone was momentarily stunned.

After returning Talonflame to its Poké Ball, Qianlin said gently, "Thank you for your hard work."

This time, he was indeed outmaneuvered... Well, not really. To be honest, although he spoke righteously when he was criticizing Lei Yan, he was actually arrogant at heart.

Perhaps at some point, he truly believed that no trainer in the sweltering summer could defeat him.

Chilin retrieved the Poké Ball and looked at Raiyan: "But I know very well that this arrogance is wrong. There is no permanent victory in battle, whether you are a player or a trainer."

Isn't it something to be proud of when the trainers you teach can beat you?

In the audience, Zheng Yaqian and Liu Ruyan stared wide-eyed, completely stunned, as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing. Only Yi Ke, after a moment of shock, hugged the trainer belt tightly and looked at him with tender eyes.

"He must be very happy."

Zheng Yaqian and Liu Ruyan looked at Yi Ke with complete bewilderment in their eyes.

Yi Ke didn't explain, she just smiled gently.

"We won!" Lei Yan roared, his face flushed, his excitement palpable.

It was as if they had won the championship.

Qianlin's smile froze for a moment, and the next second, he shook his head helplessly and took out a second Poké Ball: "But I have no intention of losing to you yet. Go, Starmie."

"Ha!" Lei Yan pointed at Serena, his face flushed with excitement. "Thunderbolt is useless against Excadrill, and your U-turn is useless without a backup Pokémon. Although you say you are a trainer from Kalos, I've been treating you like a trainer from Yanxia. Your Ruby and Sapphire moves are alright, one of your last two moves is definitely a variation move!"

"Even after all this, I refuse to believe I can still lose!" Lei Yan roared excitedly. "Light-hearted! Provocative!"

"Fri!"

Light and airy was overjoyed and immediately launched a taunt at the gem starfish.

Qianlin remained still, simply watching the scene with a quiet smile.

A red light appeared, and it floated back to the Poké Ball.

Lei Yan suddenly threw out a second Poké Ball: "Although I don't know why you spared Light Flake's life, you're finished! Excadrill! Unleash a sandstorm!"

Without any counter Water-type moves, Thunderbolt had no effect, and any potential Status moves were blocked by Taunt. With Talonflame already unable to battle, Chizuru was unable to retrieve Starmie.

Lore!

"Ka!"

The dragon-headed mole was furious to the extreme, and at this moment, it unleashed its fury completely.

Yellow gravel instantly covered the entire area, and the gale-force winds carried the gravel like cold daggers slicing through the air.

"Win the victory for me!" Lei Yan roared excitedly.

"Ka!"

The dragon-headed ground squirrel roared excitedly.

Amidst the yellow sand, the gem starfish rested quietly in place, its central red gem shimmering slightly. An indigo-colored, leaf-like object flashed by, transforming into energy as it was consumed and entering the gem starfish's body.

Qianlin smiled, his smile as gentle as ever: "Starmie, swap abilities."

The gem starfish raised its head, and the red gem suddenly shone brightly. A magical energy emanated from the yellow sandstorm, and at the moment the dragon-headed gopher cheered, that power descended upon it.

The next second, the speed boost from the sandstorm vanished, and a strange feeling rose in the heart of the dragon-headed gopher.

It seems... it... won't be affected by the opponent's... dodge... affecting the accuracy of its attacks...

The dragon-headed gopher was dumbfounded.

No, I'm shoveling sand.

The blue starfish moved like a ghost through the sandstorm; in the blink of an eye, the gem starfish was already in front of the dragon-headed gopher.

The red gem reflected the shape of the dragon-headed ground squirrel, its icy aura seeming to mock something silently.

The red gem shimmered, and beams of icy light burst forth from it, transforming into deadly ice that extinguished the last vestiges of life in the dragon-headed gopher.

Before losing consciousness, the dragon-headed ground squirrel was in a daze, as if it heard the voice of the gem starfish.

It said... "Isn't your sand-pulling here?"

The venue fell into a deathly silence once again.

Amidst the yellow sand, the referee once again raised the flag: "Dragon Head Mole is incapacitated!"

Lei Yan looked at Serena with a stiff face, like a goose whose neck had been grabbed.

Serena wore a bright, sunny smile, radiating warmth like a little sun.

She tossed the Poké Ball up and down in her hand, her voice tinged with a hint of mischief: "My trump card has always been Starmie."

The Arrowhawk revealed its true nature from the very beginning; it was... a leech.
