I beg you female trainers to give me money even if you lose!

Sableye is a Ghost-type Pokémon, and Lance knows that it's the ace Pokémon of Hibiscus, the Ghost Elite Four member of the Hoenn region...

Seeing the captivating eyes of Giovanni, I knew there was going to be a good show to watch, since it would be quite amusing for those around him to misjudge and make fools of themselves.

—Yes, he would never doubt Yang Xiying's combat skills!

Nanami, on the other hand, believed that Yang Xiying would not do anything meaningless, after all, she knew her combat level very well.

"Gyarados! Dragon Dance!"

"Soul-stealing eye! Will-o'-the-wisp!"

At this moment, both sides issued commands, and Sableye made the first move, raising her hand to gather a dark blue flame and throwing it directly at Gyarados!

Gyarados was caught off guard and was hit by the flames, suffering a red-hot burn, but it still kept moving!

Attack speed increased by one level at this moment! But it also lost 1/16 of its health due to burns, which made Kuroko freeze.

—For Gyarados that specializes in physical attacks, burn is not a good condition!

"Gyarados with the Overconfidence ability is indeed a great sweeper after Dragon Dance," Yang Xiying's words shocked Heizi beyond words.

—This guy actually knew what I was planning!

That's right, his Gyarados has the Overconfidence ability, which increases its Attack stat by one level every time it defeats an enemy.

Therefore, it is a great team sweeper. As long as Dragon Dance increases physical attack speed, it will become even more unstoppable!

but now……

"But how many attacks can a tiny Pokémon like you withstand from Gyarados?! Gyarados! Aqua Tail!"

At this moment, Kuroko urged Gyarados to fight to the death, as it was now useless due to its burns.

"Soul-Snatching Eye! Shift the Flower!" Yang Xiying's command followed immediately, and this time Gyarados launched the first attack!

The Gyarados, which had been floating in mid-air, swooped down to the ground, splashing water around it as it charged forward!

boom--! ! !

The tail swipe hit the target squarely! Sableye's health bar dropped by 60% instantly. Even with burns, Gyarados still possesses terrifying attack power.

Furthermore, Kuroko also equipped it with a mysterious water droplet to enhance the power of its water-type moves, but unfortunately, due to its burns, it was unable to defeat its opponent in one move.

Therefore, when the Soul-Hooking Eye had a chance to make a move, it released its energy, and blue flames enveloped it before it took shape!

boom--! ! !

Transforming into Gyarados, it smacked its opponent's Gyarados on the head with its tail, sending Gyarados flying backwards like a kite with a broken string!

Gyarados's health bar is empty!

"What?!" Kuroko exclaimed in astonishment, and the onlookers were also stunned, because Gyarados had been defeated in an instant by a little guy!

"...It must be fake!"

"How could this be?! Those tiny creatures have such formidable attack power?!"

"No, it's because Gyarados's attack power is too strong. 'Transplant' is a move that calculates damage based on the opponent's physical attack!"

"Gyarados already has very high physical attack, and after Dragon Dance, it..."

"..." Rika's father's face also began to tense up; the trainer he had hired had just given away a kill to the other side...

"Come back and rest, Gyarados, it's your turn next!" Kuroko had a bit of a headache, but still switched out a new Pokémon.

He sent out Houndoom! That way, he can deal with that guy's varied moves, since Houndoom is a Dark-type.

Yes, Kuroko has already figured out that the opponent's Soul-Hook Eye was a prankster, because the opponent used Will-o'-the-Wisp first, and then used Shifting Flowers and Grafting Trees as a follow-up move...

This is clearly a mischievous intention, just like Miss Rika's wind sprite, so you can use the Dark attribute to counter it!

"Houndoom! Dark Pulse!"

"Soul-Stealing Eyes! Self-Regeneration!"

Both sides issued commands at the same time once again. Yang Xiying used Self-Regeneration, wanting to see the strength of the opposing Houndoom!

Sableye once again took the lead, and even with its health bar restored to 90%, it directly withstood Houndoom's Dark Pulse!

Sableye's health bar dropped by 65%, and Houndoom's health dropped by 10%! Houndoom was equipped with a Life Orb!

Yang Xiying has obtained some information, but it will be difficult for his Soul-Hooking Eye to sustain his self-regeneration until Houndoom attacks.

Sablegoose used Regeneration to survive for two more rounds before finally falling, but Houndoom's health bar was only 70% due to the Life Orb.

"Now both sides are evenly matched..." The onlookers couldn't help but sigh, and then they saw Yang Xiying send out a new Pokémon!

—That was a gray-black monkey with a pig-like nose!

"What kind of Pokémon is this?!" This was a Pokémon that no one around had ever seen before, but no matter what, Kuroko was determined to continue the attack!

"Heiluga! The big character is Explosive Flame!"

"Abandoned Monkey! Close Combat!"

Both sides issued commands at the same time, and Yang Xiying's Pokémon, Forsaken, made the first move, arriving in front of Houndoom at an extremely fast speed!

Several punches landed on HelloGar, sending him flying backward and crashing heavily into the audience, his health bar instantly depleted!

"Such speed...?!" "So that person also has such a rare Pokémon!"

"..." Kuroko felt the pressure because his opponent had sent out a Pokémon that knew Fighting-type moves!

I assumed that since the opponent was Sabrina's disciple, she would use Psychic-type Pokémon, so the Pokémon she prepared were all effective against Psychic-type Pokémon.

"Krookodile, go!" For this reason, the last Pokémon was also of the Dark type, and he sent out a bipedal crocodile!

This crocodile has a dark red skin except for its white belly, and it also has black stripes on its body. Its eyes look like it's wearing sunglasses.

—This is Krookodile, a Dark/Ground-type Pokémon from the Unova region!

If I beat you, can I become the Indigo League champion?

"The rogue crocodile is incapacitated. The winner is Yang Xiying!"

In the end, Yang Xiying won, even though the rogue crocodile, because of its scarf, unleashed a speed that surpassed that of the abandoned monkey and attacked first!

However, a single Crunch attack still couldn't deal fatal damage to the Recluse, whose Defense and Special Defense had been lowered by one stage due to close combat!

So in the end, he was taken down by the Abandoned Monkey in a close-quarters battle!

"Since I am Sabrina's personal disciple, I plan to use Pokémon that are advantageous against Psychic-type Pokémon in battle, which is indeed a reasonable idea."

"...But it was too reasonable and too easy to deal with," the other-dimensional space disappeared, and Yang Xiying casually declared her victory.

Looking at the opposing team's lineup, Yang Xiying felt that they were targeting Psychic-type Pokémon, and the reason was because of her connection with Sabrina.

—It makes sense for a direct disciple to use a Psychic-type Pokémon, right?

However, Yang Xiying now only wants to use her Soul-Stealing Eyes to trick her opponent, using Ghost Fire, Magic Tricks, Flower Transfer, and Self-Regeneration to give them an unexpected surprise!

Therefore, apart from Sableye, the other two Pokémon were prepared to deal with situations that Sableye could not handle.

While Prankster and Sableye are powerful, they are not very effective against Dark-type Pokémon, so you need to use Pokémon that are super effective against Dark to deal with them.

Forgotten Monkey, a Fighting-type Pokémon, would be a good choice if it knew Fighting-type moves or Fairy-type and Bug-type moves.

In the end, Yang Xiying chose the Abandoned Monkey, which not only knows how to counter evil fighting moves, but is also proficient in all kinds of moves.

Therefore, it can deal with all kinds of Pokémon, and even Fairy-type Pokémon that are super effective against Dark/Fighting types can be dealt with by its Poison-type move, Trash Shot.

Even if you can't kill them, you can use a desperate skill to trade your life for theirs, losing all your HP to deal damage to the opponent equal to their current HP.

In addition, a cheerful and stylish scarf can surpass most fast attackers, so there's no need to worry about not having a chance to attack.

Of course, it also has weaknesses, but Sableye can protect it from Psychic-type moves, and its last teammate, Porygon2, is an even more formidable obstacle.

Its toughness is beyond doubt; it can withstand several hits except for fighting-type ultimate moves. And no one should use fighting-type moves to deal with the Soul-Snatching Eye of the Abandoned Monkey.

Therefore, when an opponent needs three or more moves to defeat 3D Dragon 2, his fate is already sealed.

—And the Soul-Snatching Eye also has a way to ensure that Dragon 2 will attack first…

“…I lost,” Kuroko said after a moment of silence, then bowed and knelt down on one knee in front of Rika’s father to apologize.

Yang Xiying, on the other hand, was receiving applause and encouragement from those around her, thanks to Sakaki leading the way.

"It's alright," seeing the scene, Lijia's father couldn't say anything, so he could only make a polite remark before declaring Yang Xiying's victory.

"Now that the outcome is decided, this young man Yang Xiying is the champion, and he will sit here for an hour."

"Prepare to have a duel with the little girl, and during this hour, the other young heroes can also challenge him."

"If you win the challenge, you can take over the champion's position. If more than five young heroes cannot win, then you will be defeated."

"So this young man named Yang Xiying is my son-in-law. Are there any other young heroes coming to challenge the champion?"

Lijia's father asked this question, but he wasn't worried about no one coming, because this so-called martial arts contest to find a husband was essentially an exhibition match.

He has no shortage of shills, but he's still a little worried that these shills might not be a match for this kid. He'd seen most of the fight just now.

Although she didn't quite understand, Yang Xiying managed to defeat her carefully selected elite trainer using only two Pokémon...

He doesn't doubt his own judgment, so Yang Xiying is very strong, but if she's just strong, then the Four Heavenly Kings like Adu and Silva could all be his sons-in-law.

They have the strength, but they are incredibly stubborn and inflexible in their thinking. They talk a lot about justice and righteousness, but they are not adaptable and it is difficult to get along with them.

Unable to bring more benefits, the boy in front of me is pretty much the same, after all, he can hang out with A-du.

Although this guy can hang out with that guy Sakaki, who knows which side of Sakaki he's actually associated with?

Giovanni has two identities in their circle: on the surface, he is a Kanto region Gym Leader and the CEO of Silver Company.

If you're a Pokémon Trainer, it's easy to make friends with them, but on the other hand, they're the leader of Team Rocket, the largest violent gang in Kanto.

This is a secret known only to those within their circle, and it is the most authentic version of Sakaki.

Therefore, only those who know him well and can get along well with him while he is still alive are qualified to be the son-in-law of the Fuji family!

—But it cannot be proven now.

"Let me test this champion's skills."

At this moment, someone volunteered, and looking over, they saw a young man with shoulder-length short hair and a cynical expression.

"Isn't that Yusuke, the runner-up at the last Quartz Convention?!"

"He's actually challenging for the league chairman's position? That's going to be interesting, a Pokémon battle between the runners-up of the Indigo League!"

The onlookers were also in an uproar, looking at the person who was about to enter the arena with surprised expressions, because this person was a trainer with a proven track record!

After all, he was able to win the runner-up title at the previous Quartz Conference, and his father also holds a very high position in the Kanto region.

—Like father, like son.

"...Oh? Nephew Yusuke, are you going to challenge the ring?" Rika's father smiled kindly as he looked at the young master who was walking up.

Because this person is a descendant of someone his family supported to enter politics, he is on their side, and he is indeed good at Pokémon battles.

—Perfect for being a shill.

"Yes, I have long admired Miss Rika, and I also feel that I am the most suitable person for Miss Rika."

"I will prove it to you with my strength as the runner-up of the last Quartz Conference."

Such a pretentious excuse...

Yang Xiying, who was listening from the side, sensed that the person on the other end was not being sincere, and later he could also tell that this guy was a so-called shill.

Yang Xiying could tell that Lijia's father was unhappy with her taking office, so it was only natural that he sent someone to tell her to back down.

But he miscalculated one thing: he chose to use Pokémon battles to push himself down, which was his forte.

Moreover, he had done his homework with the help of friends like Lijia before participating in the matchmaking event.

Most of the trainers participating in the matchmaking event were all show and no substance; the strongest among them was only someone like her, a gym leader.

They are still trainers hired by the family. There's no need to worry about those marriage candidates; they're just greenhorns with a bright future ahead.

So you can bully them when they're poor!

Therefore, in the first game of defending the title, both Yujie and Yang Xiying prepared three Pokémon to send out as their first Pokémon, with the former sending out Venusaur.
