A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

"Come back, Kentaro!" A red light flashed, and the injured Fire Seed Kentaro was taken back.

Just as the audience's eyes were still fixed on the battlefield full of cracks caused by electric shocks and scorch marks left by flames.

The commentator's passionate voice rang out again: "Lee Guanjun's Kentaro couldn't withstand the repeated attacks of the two challengers' Pokémon and chose to withdraw. What will our players do next? Will they attack aggressively or make another substitution?"

In Pokémon battles, decisions often impact the overall situation. Take, for example, Lee's decision to reclaim Kentaro, a move clearly driven by long-term strategic considerations.

Players who often play ranked matches know that in a battle, the normal operation for the Pokémon that is the main consumption of the team is to exchange health with the enemy.

Wait until your own Pokémon loses its ability to fight, then quickly replace it to gain a turn difference so that the back-row Pokémon can appear on the field unscathed.

However, the Fire-Type Kentaro has a very special characteristic - Intimidate, which can be activated as soon as it appears on the field. This is a magical skill that limits the enemy's physical attack Pokémon.

Li Guanjun switched it out at this moment, seemingly exposing a flaw, but in fact he was making a plan to deal with Zhang Leiyuan's third Pokémon that had not yet appeared.

The outcome of the situation now depended entirely on Zhang Leiyuan's decision. Would he choose to let Alolan Raichu maintain his smooth output and press on, or switch to Rotom and use the Electric Field to consolidate his team's advantage, while also unleashing a series of transformation skills to further increase his advantage?

Zhang Leiyuan only needed a moment's thought before making a decisive decision. He shouted, "Alolan Raichu, use trickery!"

In an instant, dark evil energy rapidly surged around Alolan Raichu. The surging evil power was like a surging tide, tightly wrapping Alolan Raichu's body.

It is clearly visible to the naked eye, and its momentum is like an erupting volcano, rising in a straight line.

Trickery, a Dark-type transformation skill, can significantly increase the user's Special Attack, directly raising it by two levels. It is one of the common methods used by Special Attack-type Pokémon to increase their Special Attack. The corresponding method is Swords Dance for Physical Attack.

At this moment, commentator Lao Kuai also caught up with the rhythm and explained, "Our challenger did not choose a strong attack strategy, nor did he intend to replace Pokémon. Instead, he wisely chose to stay on the field and strengthen it."

Xiaoyu echoed, "Thanks to Surf Tail, Alolan Raichu already had max speed, and now with two more levels of Special Attack, it's like an invincible god of war descending upon the battlefield."

At the same time, Li Guanjun raised his hand and quickly pulled out a high-level ball from his waist. He exerted force with his wrist, drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and threw the ball high into the sky.

With a "click" sound, the ball cover popped open instantly, and an extremely dazzling light exploded out. When the light gradually dissipated, a majestic lion-like Pokémon landed steadily on the battlefield.

Its body is surrounded by large patches of red and yellow mane, which is thick and unruly, like a blazing flame, surrounding its entire face and emitting a terrifying and majestic aura. Just by standing quietly, it attracts the attention of the entire audience, as if the air around it is ignited by its powerful aura.

The commentator's voice trembled with excitement as he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Oh my god! Li Guanjun sent out his ultimate Pokémon—Infernape! Zhang Leiyuan's Alola Raichu had just finished strengthening, and Li Guanjun brought out Infernape to counter it. This marked the beginning of a thrilling match between the two sides!"

Infernape is considered a king Pokémon in the Pokedex, and is one of the few Pokémon with both male and female sexes. Within a group, the male with the largest flaming mane leads the pack as the leader.

The Fire Lion roared to the sky, the sound was rumbling, and blazing flames burst out of its mouth. The heat wave swept across, and the ground was baked and cracked slightly.

Facing this overwhelming pressure, the Alola Raichu showed no fear, stomping on its tail and floating high into the air. The lingering Dark energy around it leaped and flickered like black lightning, forming a stark contrast to the Flame Lion's flames.

The Fire Lion's mane moved without wind. It raised its head, opened its bloody mouth, and let out a deafening roar. The sound waves rolled, as if to overturn the entire battlefield.

At the moment this roar sounded, its characteristic "fighting spirit" was activated.

The already scorching air seemed to ignite, its temperature rising dramatically. A visible heat wave spread outward in a circular pattern, centered around the Flame Lion. Its flames shone brightly, their orange-red edges gleaming with a dazzling gold.

Its eyes grew sharper, like razor blades, staring intently at the Alola Raichu opposite it, as if declaring to its opponent that it was the master of this battlefield, and any challenge would be ruthlessly crushed by it.

Old Kuai explained, "Inferno's Fighting ability has activated! This ability increases the power of skills when encountering opponents of the same gender. Both Alolan Raichu and Inferno are male, so now Inferno's skills are going to be incredibly damaging!"

As the commentator explains, the Fighting Spirit trait ignites when facing an opponent of the same gender, making them stronger, but weakens when facing an opponent of a different gender. This is commonly known as Love Brain, but when two Flame Lions, one male and one female, play together, the situation becomes completely different.

Zhang Leiyuan's eyes locked on the Flame Lion, his brain racing as he calmly pondered a response strategy. He decisively and loudly ordered, "Alola Raichu, use 100,000 volts!"

The Alolan Raichu instantly transformed into a flash of brown lightning, darting around the Flame Lion at an astonishing speed, leaving behind a trail of blurry afterimages. The Flame Lion turned its head warily, trying to track the Alolan Raichu.

Just when the Flame Lion was distracted, Alola Raichu arrived in front of it, and its claws suddenly burst out with dazzling electricity, and a thick beam of 100,000 volts shot straight at the Flame Lion.

Li Guanjun looked calm and unhurried as he shouted loudly, "Flame Lion, use your jet of flames to block it head-on!"

The Fire Lion roared, opened its bloody mouth, and a thick column of flame spurted out, colliding violently with the 100,000 Volts in mid-air.

In an instant, electricity and flames intertwined, and the huge roar made the audience's eardrums hurt. The strong impact airflow spread in all directions, raising dust all over the sky. The situation on the field became more unpredictable, and the suspense of victory or defeat became more and more intense.

At this time, Li Guanjun frowned slightly. The Fire Master was distracted because the speed of Alola Raichu was too fast.

This situation is extremely fatal in a top-level battle. He is now only thinking about how to deal with the additional effects brought by the Surf Tail feature.

The first solution is naturally to deal with the electrical site, use fog removal or other site skills to cover it.
