I, the first trainer of the new world

The wind is blowing, and the flames are rising.

Amidst that blazing sea of ​​fire, Beedrill's figure vanished in a flash of red light.

Almost simultaneously, Shunfeng and Dadian Haiyan appeared.

what happened?

The fiery cat was still using Flame Charge, and just as it hit Beedrill, the beedrill disappeared. Was it a rotation?

wrong!

The fiery cat dissipated its flames and retreated rapidly.

It's definitely not a rotation!

No one has such fast hand speed; the opponent must have used some kind of item to make Beedrill automatically return to its Poké Ball the instant it was attacked.

Felicia was certain that its attack had hit, and Beedrill was definitely injured, but the power came too fast. It didn't even have time to react and unleash its full power before Electric Petal appeared.

"Kilo!"

Above the sea of ​​fire, the giant electric petrel, riding the wind, let out an excited roar.

With a bright smile, Qianlin stretched out his right hand forward, half-grabbing it like a claw, and then clenched it tightly: "Then, let's see what the so-called ultimate speed attack should look like in reality."

"Electric ball!"

A terrifying power erupted in an instant, and the Great Electric Seagull's figure swept across the sky like an elusive shadow, constantly shifting as if it were teleporting.

Golden lightning had condensed at some point, without any earth-shattering terrifying energy or overwhelming momentum. Just as everyone was marveling at the powerful electric storm, the golden ball of lightning quietly descended.

boom--

The hot cat was stunned. It could only see the shadow of the giant electric seagull moving around. When it came to its senses, the electric ball had already landed on it.

Pain took hold of the hot cat's brain before it could even think. It almost instinctively cried out in pain. Enveloped in golden lightning, it was completely unable to move and could only feel the lightning constantly weakening its condition.

It seemed slow, but in reality, less than ten seconds had passed since the two sent out their first Pokémon, and only two or three seconds had passed since Litten realized something was wrong and retreated.

And Hot Cat... has already collapsed.

"Hot Cat is unable to fight!" The referee raised the flag without hesitation.

The electric ball was instantly destroyed while it was in a charging state and being carried by a tailwind?

Jinlai's face turned green. He hadn't even realized that Limecat had uttered such a harsh remark. When he came to his senses, Limecat was already taking a bath in Thunder. By the time he took out the Poké Ball, Limecat was already lying on the ground, sleeping.

This is too much, girl!

Not only Jinlai, but all the trainers who watched Qianlin's live stream were shocked.

During the Carlos League, Chizuru started streaming and had a friendly coaching match with Shinji. In the first game, he used a team consisting of Talonflame and Giant Electric. Talonflame entered the game with a tailwind, and then immediately switched to Giant Electric to activate the wind power.

Because of this, Giant Electric Seagull has become a popular Pokémon. Recently, more and more trainers have been going to Padia to catch Giant Electric Seagull, and more and more trainers are using this Pokémon in the game.

However, while Electric Boulder is powerful, it also has significant limitations. After all, these days, who doesn't have a Ground-type Pokémon? If you switch to Electric Boulder when you use Tailwind, I'll switch to a Ground-type Pokémon and use Rock Slide to KO you.

This is also why this team didn't become as popular as the "Poison Substitute" team in the game.

The main point is that Electric Bomber is supposed to be paired with a fast Pokémon to activate Tailwind, right? Like Talonflame using its ability to activate Tailwind, or Whimsicott using Prankster to activate Tailwind, why would you use Beedrill to activate Tailwind?

It's not fast, and there's no pre-emptive strike; someone who didn't know better might think Beedrill was brought up for sale.

“It’s to prevent… provocation.” Jinlai, his face green, recalled the incapacitated Litten into its Poké Ball. “She guessed my Litten’s moveset.”

There will definitely be a high-five surprise attack, fire-based moves, rotating techniques, and finally, provocation.

Jinlai looked at Serena with shock in his eyes.

The girl instantly predicted Litten's location the moment it appeared. Instead of switching to Beedrill, she had Beedrill use Tailwind, predicted my Fire-type move and KO'd Beedrill instead of Taunt. Then... she used the Escape button to force a switch to Electric-type Seagull, which KO'd Litten before my second Pokémon even appeared.

That's terrifying pre-reading ability! It completed its tactical plan almost the instant it saw the Fiery Cat. Its objective was simple and clear, giving me no chance to switch to a second Pokémon to counter.

Therefore, the purpose of guarding it is purely to prevent the Fake Out attack from taking away too much of Beedrill's status, causing it to be accidentally defeated by Flare Charge.

Jinlai gripped the Firecat's Poké Ball tightly, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Serena: "Who are you? I've only ever seen this terrifying ability to read the world and the vast amount of knowledge you possess. Who are you?!"

His voice was low, as if he had seen some mysterious creature that shouldn't exist.

It seems I accidentally overdid it.

Serena's smile turned awkward.

But it's not his fault. He was the one who taught Jinlai the tactics, and he knows Incineroar's command style better than Jinlai does. Litten will definitely not be the main attacker when it first appears, and you can easily guess what its moveset will be. If he can't figure it out, what kind of player is he?

Beedrill bringing the Escape button was a plan from the start. Its original intention was just to use a poison spike to test the waters, but the opponent turned out to be a Fire-type.

So what do you suggest we do? Either we switch or we sell. If we sell, we still have a chance to win, but if we switch, we're doomed.

However, this is because Beedrill really doesn't have much durability; any other Pokémon could probably hold out for a while longer.

Unfortunately, he also wanted to demonstrate his summer tactics to Pokémon trainers by testing the gym this time, so he chose some very easy-to-catch common Pokémon, basically the kind that even Bug Catcher can collect.

Otherwise, why would Lei Yan have replaced one of them?

Serena, trying to hide her embarrassment, gave Jinlai a bright smile: "Who are the two people you're talking about?"

“Our Summer Champion Qianlin, and Mirror World Summer Champion Yang Yike.” Jinlai took a light breath, put the Hot Cat’s Poké Ball back, and took out the second Poké Ball. “I have grown to this point under Qianlin’s tutelage, and I know very well how terrifying his tactical reserves are. As for Yike, although she has not taught me, I have had the privilege of battling her in a virtual battle... and the result was a crushing defeat.”

His underwear was worn through, and his eldest son, Lin Yang, was even beaten to the point of being delirious, calling the Thunder King Kong "Drumming Monkey."

Serena's eyes softened unconsciously, but she maintained a sunny demeanor on the surface: "You're putting me alongside those two? Really? Am I really that strong?"

She looks like a carefree, sunny girl.

Jin Lai was also momentarily stunned by the bewildered look, and his movements slowed down.

So, was that incredibly brilliant pre-read operation just a lucky guess?

The opponent had only watched Qianlin's live stream, but because they didn't have a high-speed Pokémon that could use Tailwind, they used a regular Beedrill to use Tailwind, and then used Escape to force a switch to a Giant Electric Seagull.

Serena's smile was flawless, leaving Jinlai completely bewildered.

However, this confusion only lasted for a short while. As Zeng Sheng silently walked onto the opposite platform, whispered something in Jin Lai's ear, pointed to the battle seats, and then silently walked off the platform and sat down properly in a chair... Jin Lai looked at the battle stage.

Yi Ke, Zheng Yaqian, and Liu Ruyan waved with smiles.

Jinlai blinked, then looked at Serena across from him again.

He hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back, until finally, after a long while, he spoke with a blank expression: "You wouldn't happen to be Xiao Yike wearing a human skin mask, would you?"

Qian Lin: "..."

Yes, that's me.

“No, that’s not right.” Jinlai blinked blankly. “Xiao Yi doesn’t have such big breasts… Yi doesn’t have any.”

Qian Lin: "..."

No, that is me.

Yi Ke, sitting in the audience, clenched her fists.

Jin Lai looked at the other person's very familiar face, and within two seconds, he had an epiphany, his mind becoming completely clear: "You are Qian..."

He suddenly covered his mouth with both hands.

In just a moment, he was covered in sweat.

Fortunately, I was fast enough. If I hadn't covered my mouth and said it out loud, I might have been sentenced to suicide after being hit by eighteen Void Slashes.

Jinlai covered his mouth, looking at Qianlin with trembling eyes, unsure whether to throw away the Poké Ball or put it back in.

Qian Lin's lips twitched: "Zeng Sheng, what did that bastard just say to you?"

Zeng Sheng's expression changed drastically as he watched from the stands.

Jin Lai straightened up, standing tall and proud like a soldier: "He told me to check if there were a few extra people in the battle area, or if one person was missing."

The forest was silent.

A moment later, he recalled the electric seagull: "Never mind, you're fine anyway, I'll have plenty of opportunities to bully you."

He truly lives up to his reputation as one of the Eight Masters of the Summer. His battles are mature, steady, and serious. He doesn't become arrogant because of the challenger's weakness, nor does he give up because of the Pokémon's defeat. He thinks about how to win the battle from beginning to end.

He is highly qualified as both a trainer and a gym leader.

This also makes Liu Ruyan and Lei Yan seem even more inadequate in comparison.

Qianlin put away the Poké Ball, turned around and walked back to the passage he came from: "Let's go. Don't tell anyone about my situation. I still have five gyms to visit."

"Received!" Jin Lai immediately stood at attention.

The audience was bewildered. What was going on?
