Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

"Ibu, use Mega Sound!"

"Poor!"

Seeing that Ningren quickly adjusted his state and calmly took countermeasures.

A look of admiration flashed in Lu An's eyes.

Loud Roar is a normal-type sound attack.

Before Espeon learns the area-of-effect attack of group attacks, Hyper Voice is a very good area-of-effect attack move.

The reverberation of the loud noise would create some ripples on the arena.

At the location with the greatest fluctuations... Lu An's figure appeared in the light cloth.

"Eevee, at one o'clock, ten meters away, pounce and use Bite!"

Due to a strategic mistake caused by underestimating his opponent at the beginning, Ningren used two powerful moves in succession: Shadow Ball and Roar.

This has resulted in Ibrahimovic being greatly depleted, making it difficult for him to use Shadow Ball again in a short period of time.

Therefore, Ning Ren made a decisive move and had Espeon use a close-range fighting style.

Although close-quarters combat is not Espeon's forte, Lu An's Espeon must also be bad at close combat!

This also prevents Luan's Sun Eevee from escaping again.

Kill two birds with one stone.

However, Lu An was prepared for the agile Espeon that was heading straight for the Lightbringer:

"Light cloth, gravity!"

"Buyi!"

With a long howl, Ningren's Eevee felt as if it had been struck in the waist by a heavy hammer, and its movements became sluggish.

Guangbu took this opportunity to easily avoid the bite.

"Tsk tsk tsk, that gravity trick again."

"Every time this gravity attack is used, flying Pokémon land directly on the ground, fast Pokémon can't run fast at all, and clumsy Pokémon just lie on the ground and are captured without resistance."

"Yes, Lu An's Espeon is not only a master of high-powered moves, but he can also use more unconventional support moves with ease."

"All I can say is that Espeon has really mastered the art of using its psychic powers."

Ning Ren was now sweating profusely.

[Gravity], he knew this move was a superpower technique.

However, no Pokémon would normally specifically learn this move.

After all, it has no offensive power at all, and unless you learn it to a high level of mastery, when a Pokémon uses it, it only adds a little burden to the opponent.

Instead of wasting time on this, it would be more practical to strengthen yourself.

But Lightbringer used it anyway, and it seemed to make Eevee very uncomfortable.

"Pfft, pfft..."

("＞＜)"

My once light body felt so heavy.

"Tsk."

Seeing this, Ningren quickly made a decision: "Ibu, sunny day!"

"Pfft!"

Although the Goldenrod Gym has a dome, the windows on all sides are quite large, allowing sunlight to stream in.

With Ningren's Espeon unleashing its moves, the sunlight quickly became even more intense.

The apprentices were puzzled by this:

"What are Ningren doing? They're both Espeon, so releasing Sunny Day makes no difference to them, right?"

"Moreover, Lu An's Espeon is clearly stronger, and this sunny weather might be more advantageous for Lu An's Espeon."

However, Ning Ren had clearly already devised a countermeasure:

"Eevee, use the seal!"

"Poor!"

A "x" mark was seen traveling straight from Ningren's Eevee to Luan's Lightbearer.

“Buyi”.

Guangbu twisted his body uncomfortably, as if he were stuck to his fur with tape.

Although it doesn't affect our actions, it still feels a bit off.

Outside, the apprentices watching the battle erupted in a frenzy:

"Ah, I see, it's a seal!"

"So it was a seal!"

"It's a seal."

The apprentices suddenly realized that the [Seal] technique was a move that greatly weakened the power of both the user and the opponent's equally mastered techniques at the cost of being sealed for a short period of time.

In other words, if both you and your opponent possess the Destruction Beam move, and the opponent's original power was 150.

So if the opponent uses the Destruction Beam after you have used the Seal, it may only have a power of 100, 75, or even 50.

In a wild battle, Lu An can avoid the effect of this move simply by switching his Pokémon.

It can be described as a "killing dagger" that harms others without benefiting oneself.

However, in the current situation, this move is a truly devastating weapon.

The reason is simple: Ningren and Luan both have Espeon as their Pokémon.

In other words, Ningren significantly weakened most of Lu An's Elsword moves by sealing away his own Espeon.

Furthermore, Lu An cannot change his Pokémon, while Ning Ren still has two Pokémon he can change!

"Wonderful!"

The apprentices watching all expressed great admiration for Ning Ren's move.

The same goes for Lu An.

He glanced at Ning Ren with some surprise, not expecting him to use such a move.

Ning Ren returned Lu An's gaze:

"This is the approach I learned from your [gravity]; attacking blindly is useless."

Lu An chuckled to himself, wondering why he was still thinking about competing even now.

"Since you used [Sealing], it means you're planning to switch Pokémon, right?"

"Right now, we have [Sunny Day] and [Gravity] on the field. Which Pokémon are you planning to send out?"

Ningren retrieved the Solari back into the Poké Ball, then released a new Pokémon:

"Cunning Tengu, attack!"

"Suo Luo!"

A humanoid Pokémon with a long nose, brown body, long white fur on its head, and hands that looked like two banana leaves appeared on the field.

"Cunning Tengu, what kind of Pokémon is that?"

"never heard of that."

"It looks a bit scary, like an old man in the forest."

It's normal that none of the apprentices knew what kind of Pokémon it was.

Ningren took the initiative to speak:

"This is a Hoenn Pokémon I caught while I was traveling and learning in Hoenn. Its type is Grass/Dark and its ability is Chlorophyll."

With just Ningren's prompting, some people immediately understood.

"I understand. Ningren had Ibrahimovic use Sunny Day before leaving the field, just to serve the purpose of the cunning Tengu."

"Because the cunning tengu's characteristic is chlorophyll, its agility can be doubled on sunny days, thus overcoming the effects of gravity on it."

"Furthermore, because Tengu is a Dark-type, Psychic-type moves do almost no damage to it."

"With the added effect of the [Sealing], Lu An's Espeon is completely helpless against the Strider!"

After hearing the clever man's explanation, the apprentices all realized what was going on and looked at Ning Ren with admiration.

"To come up with so many countermeasures and checks and balances in such a short time, this challenger is really impressive."

Ning Ren looked quietly at Lu An, feeling very embarrassed.

"Actually, I originally planned to use this method when fighting against Miss Sabrina, but I didn't expect it to be used on you."

"I have to admit that I underestimated you. If we're just talking about training Espeon, I'm not as good as you."

"But now that things have come to this, I think there's no need to continue the fight."

"I've sealed away most of your Espeon's power. You have no chance against the cunning Tengu under the bright sun."

"What if we draw this match?"

Although the apprentices at the Goldenrod Gym were somewhat unhappy with Ningren's suggestion, they had nothing to say.

After all, Ning Ren was right; the fact that he could use such methods against Lu An was enough to demonstrate Lu An's strength.

Perhaps in this situation, it would be a good option for the two to shake hands and make peace.

However, Lu An shook his head:

"If I remember correctly, this is a gym challenge, right?"

"Since that's the case, there's no reason for it to end like this."
