I, the first trainer of the new world

Starmie's speed in the sandstorm is beyond imagination. Starmie, already a high-speed special attacker, doubles its speed again with the addition of the Sandstorm ability. Excadrill with the Glow ability simply cannot react in time...

Why does that sound so absurd?

But it doesn't matter, not only does this sound a bit off, but Lei Yan himself is also a bit off right now.

“Ability swap, hehehe, Tailwind…” Lei Yan drooled as he laughed carefree. “Provocation is useless, ability swap, Tailwind… You’re just using a human skin to fulfill your duties as a gym inspector, aren’t you?”

Otherwise, he couldn't understand why the other side would use something that even trainers in their Yanxia region didn't know about.

He didn't look down on Pokémon trainers, but judging from the other person's Pokémon level, the other person was at most an elite trainer who could get eight badges, and in the regional league, they would at most reach the top 84.

And him? A Galar League semi-finalist! And that's because he faced two champions and runners-up who even Qianlin thought were too strong for the league's level!

Despite the Pokémon's strength level on the other side, he displayed a command level that could overwhelm him!

He's not bragging, but he claims to have a tactical crushing advantage over his opponent in both worlds! Remember, a crushing advantage!

In both worlds, the only trainers who can overwhelm him tactically are the champion, the Elite Four, and the Eight Masters of Summer. Even Emperor Ruyan, who is also a reserve trainee, cannot overwhelm him!

Because the tactical knowledge of the reserve personnel was almost at the same level.

Therefore, the opponent is definitely not a trainer of this caliber! The opponent's tactical reserves are at least those of a Pokémon Elite Four member! Even a Gym Leader couldn't overpower him!

Lei Yan swears on his integrity!

"Who exactly are you!" Lei Yan gritted his teeth, glaring at Serena with resentment.

Serena tossed the Poké Ball, her smile still bright: "You still have Float, aren't you going to fight?"

Lei Yan's face darkened: "Fuck your ass, you're just bullying me."

Light and airy was already injured, and with the Gem Starfish's ghostly speed, going up there would only mean getting beaten up.

If the opponent is of equal strength, he wouldn't mind putting up another fight, at least to lose in a more respectable way.

But the opponent was clearly there to bully him. His final provocation was somehow countered by the opponent, and his only chance to turn the tide vanished after Starmie swapped abilities.

Thinking about it now, the fact that this woman could say 'she's one of those people Lei Yan looks down on who doesn't work out but only takes pictures' clearly shows that she knows him very well. She's most likely a trainer from Yanxia, ​​and definitely not some nobody.

Either the other party is pretending, or this person is someone secretly trained by the Yanxia Alliance, known only to the Alliance and Qianlin, and has come specifically to test their gym's reserve members now that the portal has opened.

If you're pretending... Lei Yan did have a vague impression of the girl in front of him, but he couldn't quite place who she was. Moreover, no matter if it was Zheng Yaqian, Yi Ke, Liu Ruyan, or even Wei Nan and Li Mengyan, their faces didn't match the girl's.

Therefore, Lei Yan was certain that this girl was 99% likely a secret backup plan cultivated by the Yanxia Alliance and Qianlin!

So this girl, like Zheng Yaqian, is a disciple personally taught by Qianlin... No, this woman's fighting style is completely different from Zheng Yaqian's. It should be said that this woman, like Yi Ke, is a closed-door disciple taught by Qianlin.

While he may not be as skilled as Zheng Yaqian, who specializes in ghost tactics, he far surpasses her in terms of knowledge, tactical reserves, team configuration, and application of items and moves.

Trainers of the same type as Ike, the only one who truly mastered the entire Qianlin strategy was his second disciple!

PS: Zheng Yaqian is a direct disciple, Yi Ke is the last disciple, Zeng Sheng, Fu Xing, Lin Wen, Jin Lai, Liu Hui, and Shinji are inner disciples, Li Jia is the chief of the Shield Pavilion, Xiao Zhi is the chief of the Sword Pavilion, Gladion is also considered an inner disciple, and the rest are either disciples of the Sword Pavilion or Shield Pavilion, or outer disciples.

Rocard?

Who is it? I don't recognize them. Is there such a person in my sect?

Having figured this out, Lei Yan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the calm referee on the field: "I concede."

The referee immediately activated, raising his flag: "Gym Leader Raiyan concedes defeat, so the winner is Serena from the Kalos region!"

The stadium remained silent, but the next second, cheers erupted.

All the trainers sitting in the audience applauded at this moment, watching the two in the arena with excitement.

This match taught them a lot, from the almost insane rotations, the constant probing and switching, to finally completing their tactical setup.

When Excadrill was caught by Flame Charge and almost instantly killed, everyone thought Serena had won. However, Raiyan managed to defeat Flame Charge first by relying on rotation and calculation of tailwind.

When Talonflame lost its ability to battle, everyone thought that Raikou was about to make a comeback, but then they saw Starmie suddenly break free of Taunt and use a Swap ability to win back the victory.

wonderful!

This was unlike any other exciting league match. The calm command of the trainers and the unwavering execution of the Pokémon in pursuit of victory were completely different from the passionate clashes between trainers and Pokémon during league matches. This kind of battle style is rarely seen even by the world's champions.

It's no exaggeration to say that most of the trainers here were already confused after the first rotation between the two sides. They didn't even understand why Raiyan was able to seize that moment of opportunity, or why Serena was able to suppress Raiyan from beginning to end.

I didn't know, and that's why I was so shocked.

The girl named Serena had a Pokémon that was weaker than almost everyone else's Pokémon, but she still won, won... I don't understand it, but it was beautiful!

At that moment, almost every trainer in the arena had a gleam in their eyes.

This unique battle style made most people aware of the existence of a 'tactical system'. The two Pokémon in the team, under the command of these two people, seemed not to be two separate individuals, but a complete team. They used rotation and tactics to mobilize the entire team to suppress, rotate, and strengthen.

In the audience, several trainers looked dazed, as if they had finally understood why the eight gyms in Alola were so difficult to beat: challengers always used two Pokémon to initiate the challenge, while gym leaders always used a whole team to meet the challenge.

Hearing the applause and cheers from all around, Lei Yan put away the Poké Ball, looked at Serena again, and asked very bluntly, "So, how does Starmie remove Taunt? Qian Lin didn't teach me that either."

Serena smiled and put the gem star back: "Mind Herb, an item. You can look it up."

The Poké Ball was retracted to his waist.

"Then, the results of your review will be given to you before nightfall." With that, Serena raised her right and left hands, waved gently, and her smile widened. "Goodbye."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and left without a trace of regret, her sunny smile radiating from her, and walked back into the passage she had come from.

"The review results? I knew it..." Lei Yan was speechless.

How do I complain?

This was clearly arranged by Qianlin; he'll probably get a scolding when he gets back.

"Ah~"

Lei Yan let out a long sigh.

"She didn't even use Mega Evolution..."

He could see very clearly the keystone hanging around Serena's neck.
