Everyone else is a trainer, but you are a swordsman?

The provocation effect in the game means that you cannot use transformation moves for three rounds.

But the provocation of the Soul-Snatching Eyes can actually make Thundermon ignore the trainer's orders and launch an attack directly.

The eyes of the Thunder Beast turned scarlet, and its body was flashing with crackling electric light.

"Ow!"

Powerful electrical energy gathered in its mouth, and a dazzling beam of 100,000 volts suddenly shot out, sweeping towards the Soul-Snatching Eye with astonishing momentum.

However, the Soul-Snatching Eyes seemed to have already seen through the Thunder Beast's attack intention. A cunning light flashed in its eyes (seeing through it), and it easily avoided the ferocious attack.

Immediately afterwards, the Soul-Snatching Eyes once again used a delaying skill, causing the originally surging electric light on the Thunder Beast to slow down instantly, and the speed of condensation was greatly reduced.

The powerful skill that was originally planned to be released was aborted due to lack of electricity.

Of course, the Soul-Snatching Eye would not miss this excellent opportunity. It continuously launched the strange light and phosphorus fire skills, smashing towards the Thunder Beast like a storm.

"Ow—"

The strange light and blazing black flames coming towards it made the already unconscious Thunder Beast even worse.

The trainer beside him was extremely anxious. He shouted the name of Thundermon at the top of his lungs, trying to awaken its fighting spirit. However, Thundermon had been completely suppressed by the attack of the Soul-Snatching Eyes and could not launch an effective counterattack.

Soon, Thundermon, who was constantly tortured, fell down with pain on his face, and the referee announced that the boy in the blue jacket won.

Feng withdrew his gaze and fell into thought.

Provoke and delay, now you know the new uses of these two skills. So if you encounter this enchanting eye, how should you deal with it?

Even with the combo of Intimidate + Scary Face, it is unlikely to kill Haunted Eyes instantly in one round because Gyarados has no restraining skills.

So how do we fight the next battle?

……

An hour later, it was finally Feng's turn to play. His opponent was a middle-aged man who looked very weathered. He seemed to have been worn down by life and his demeanor had lost its sharpness.

"Go ahead, old man."

The middle-aged man threw out a Poké Ball and released a Rhydon of ordinary caliber.

Rhydon looked quite old, with some tiny cracks on his boulder-like body. His movements, which were already slow to begin with, seemed even slower due to his age.

But its eyes are different from those of its trainer. They are full of fighting spirit and enthusiasm, as if it were still a young and passionate boy.

Compared to the complex minds of humans, Pokémon always appear simple.

The middle-aged man clearly knew Rhydon's abilities, and he also knew that having come this far was the limit for both him and Rhydon. Without hope, there was no motivation to move forward.

But Rhydon is different, it has never lost its courage to move forward.

Even if his physical condition deteriorated, even if he was constantly defeated, even if his strength remained unchanged for so many years, even if his trainer had given up...

But it still persists, sticking to the goal it and its trainer set when they first met thirty years ago.

So this time, the middle-aged man originally didn't want to participate in the competition, but Rhydon insisted on coming.

It hopes that by getting a good ranking, it can rekindle its trainer's fighting spirit and return to the first time they met.

Feng looked at Longlongyan and seemed to understand something, and his expression became serious.

"Gyarados, use all your strength. This is an opponent worthy of respect."

"Dear contestant, the competition prohibits Pokémon from using skills that destroy the ground, such as earthquakes and digging holes. Please pay attention." When the referee saw Rhydon being released, he reminded the middle-aged man next to him.

"Okay, I understand." The uncle nodded to the referee, then warned Rhydon, "Rhydon, don't use those types of skills. We can't afford the compensation."

"The game begins!" After seeing the middle-aged man give the hint, the referee announced the start.

"Gyarados, intimidate (+ scary face) and fly over."

"Rumble rock, rockfall."

After being intimidated by Gyarados, Rhydon's body trembled noticeably, but it was only a slight pause. Then, with its tenacious willpower, it forced itself to break free.

At this moment, a multitude of rocks of various shapes and sizes suddenly appeared in the air in front of it. These rocks seemed to have life, flying straight towards Gyarados at an extremely fast speed.

"Gyarados, don't hesitate! Use your full-strength Waterfall Climb skill and charge straight ahead!"

Feng is full of confidence in his Gyarados. After all, with the qualifications, training and the blessing of the mysterious water drop, the water-based skill damage that Gyarados can cause is enough to offset the attack of the opponent's ordinary-qualified Rhydon.

As expected, the flying stones were instantly smashed into pieces when they encountered the huge water flow that wrapped around Gyarados' body, turning into powder without even having a blocking effect.

"Longlongyan, get out of the way quickly!" the middle-aged man shouted anxiously.

After so many years of desperate battles, he really couldn't bear to see Rhydon get hurt again.

However, the weak always get the opposite of what they want.

Rhydon was slowed down by the scary face, and its movement speed was already pitifully slow, so it was completely unable to dodge the oncoming Gyarados, and was directly knocked away by Gyarados's full-strength attack.

The four-fold restraint of the waterfall climbing skill created a rare instant kill moment in the competition. Rhydon was severely injured and fell to the ground with wounds all over his body, his life or death uncertain.

"Rumble Rock loses..."

Seeing this, the referee was about to announce the result of the match, but suddenly found that the Rumble Stone trembled slightly.

"Long!"

With a low roar, Rhydon shook its body and stood up with difficulty. It turned out that its sturdy nature came into play.

At this time, Rhydon's condition was extremely bad. It had just barely stood up, and before it could stand up completely, it suddenly lost its balance, its body suddenly tilted, and it half-knelt on the ground.

Its trembling body was like a candle in the wind, which was really worrying. It seemed that it might fall down again at any time with just a breeze.

"Rumble Rock!"

The middle-aged man shouted in pain.

"You've done a great job, let's stop here."

"Long!"

Longlongyan roared weakly, turned his head with difficulty to look at the middle-aged uncle, but his eyes were full of fighting spirit, just like the first battle when they set out on their journey.

The middle-aged man was stunned, his thoughts seemed to travel through time and space, returning to the age of 12 thirty years ago.
