Pokémon: A Strong Man from the Slums

In the tense and expectant atmosphere, the two trainers' minds were like the layout of a chess game, with every move being cautious and precise.

Yu Longyan knew very well that in such a crucial confrontation, choosing the right elf partner was crucial.

She thought back to the time she had spent with many elves and ultimately decided to rely on those companions who were the most agile and capable of soaring.

Deep in her heart, she silently said: "In order to ensure victory, I must trust those elves that I am most familiar with and best at commanding, especially those warriors who can shuttle freely in the air."

So, her eyes fell firmly on a specific Poké Ball, which contained her "Tanabata Bluebird".

This is a flying Pokémon that combines speed and grace, able to dodge attacks on the battlefield with amazing agility while delivering fatal blows from the air.

At the same time, Lin Tao was also weighing his own strategy.

He realized that it would not be wise to confront the highly agile elves that Yu Longyan might send out head-on.

"If I were to compete with Yulongyan's elf in agility, it would be an almost impossible task." He thought to himself.

"Therefore, I need to adopt a defensive counterattack tactic, using my elves' solid defense to resist attacks, and then look for opportunities to counterattack."

After some thought, his choice fell on "Steel Snake", a steel-type Pokémon with amazing defensive power. Although it is not as flexible as flying-type Pokémon, its strength in resisting strong enemies and finding flaws cannot be underestimated.

As the two trainers took a deep breath and prepared for the next wave of challenges, they took out their fifth Poké Balls almost in sync.

As the audience waited with bated breath, two Poké Balls were thrown into the air, releasing dazzling red light.

When the light faded, Yu Longyan's "Qixi Bluebird" and Lin Tao's "Steel Snake" appeared at the two ends of the battlefield, each showing completely different style and strength.

After these two elves appeared, discussions in the audience broke out one after another, and everyone's face was filled with anticipation for the upcoming exciting showdown.

Someone analyzed: "This duel between 'Qixi Bluebird' and 'Steel Snake' is undoubtedly a contest without obvious attribute restraint.

"'Qixi Bluebird' is known for its lightness and swift movement, able to weave dazzling trails on the battlefield. Each attack is like a meteor across the night sky, both beautiful and deadly."

"But 'Steel Snake' is the complete opposite. Its advantage lies in its indestructible defense and heavy body. It is like a mobile fortress that can withstand most attacks and then launch a counterattack at a slow but powerful pace."

Another spectator nodded in agreement and added: "Indeed, if the hard power of both sides is equal, then the outcome of this game will be unpredictable."

"The agility of 'Tanabe Bluebird' and the stability of 'Steel Snake' form a sharp contrast, just like a needle against a wheat spike. Who will win or lose depends entirely on the on-the-spot performance and the command art of the trainer. Only when the battle really begins can we get a glimpse of it."

In the crowd, a young girl waved her flag excitedly and shouted, "I still firmly believe that 'Qixi Bluebird' will be the final winner!"

"In my opinion, a flexible and varied attack method can often give you the upper hand in a battle, especially when facing an opponent like Steelix that relies on a defensive counterattack strategy. The ability to move around the battlefield at will and find the best time to attack is the greatest charm of Tanabata Bluebird."

However, a man nearby disagreed. He retorted: "On the contrary, I think Steel Snake has a better chance of having the last laugh."

"As a steel-type Pokémon, it not only possesses enviable defensive capabilities, but also its high tolerance for error in defensive counterattack tactics allows it to find opportunities in unfavorable situations."

"As long as we can withstand the continuous attacks of 'Tanabe Bluebird', 'Steel Snake' will have the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow with its powerful strength."

Such conversations can be seen everywhere in the audience, and everyone is expressing their views on the game in their own way.

Whether supporting the clever attack of "Qixi Bluebird" or leaning towards the steady defense of "Steel Snake", this matchup became heated before it even started and became the focus of everyone's attention.

All eyes were fixed on the battle field, waiting for the sparks to collide between the two Pokémon and the contest of wisdom between their trainers.

The next moment, the duel between Tanabata Bluebird and Steelix officially began.

"Qixi Bluebird, keep moving at high speed in the air and look for opportunities to use 'Jet Flame'!" Yu Longyan ordered.

After receiving Yulongyan's order, the Qixi Bluebird could not help but fly at high speed in the air.

And while it was flying at high speed, flames were constantly spewing out of its mouth, trying to burn the Steel Snake.

Steel-type Pokémon like Steelix are restrained by Fire-type skills, and Steelix has high physical defense and just so-so special defense.

Therefore, as long as Steelix is ​​hit by the jet flame, it will suffer serious damage.

Faced with this situation, Steelix's trainer Lin Tao calmly ordered: "Steelix, use the digging method to drill into the ground, and then use the rock slide to attack Tanabata Bluebird from underground!"

After receiving Lin Tao's order, Steelix decisively dodged a jet of flame from Tanabata Bluebird.

Then Steelix came underground with its powerful drilling ability.

In this way, it would be very difficult for Tanabata Bluebird's jet of flame to hit Steelix.

However, this is not the end yet. The giant steel snake hiding underground continues to condense rock energy in the air, and large amounts of rocks continue to fall from the sky.

However, because Steelix burrowed underground and lost its aerial vision, the hit rate of Steelix's rockfall was very low, and it basically couldn't touch Tanabata Bluebird.

The situation on the field was at a stalemate. The Tanabata Bluebird flying in the sky was unable to do anything to the Steelix under the ground.

And the giant steel snake underground was unable to do anything to the Tanabata Bluebird flying in the sky.

"We can't go on like this, Qixi Bluebird, fly close to the ground and then launch an 'earthquake'!" Yu Longyan shouted.

"Steel Snake, you stay underground and feel the situation near the ground carefully. Once the Tanabata Bluebird gets close to the ground, you must immediately get out and give it a rockfall!" Lin Tao shouted.

Both Pokémon received orders from their trainers and began to carry them out.
