Greatest Pokémon Trainer

"That Squirtle looks like it's been raised well, haha, I wonder if Lin Sen will mess this up."

As the battle Pokémon for both sides were confirmed, other team members started discussing it, with some who were on good terms with Lin Sen even joking about it.

"I think it's possible, hehe," Liu Le was still obese, not just chubby anymore, but a big fatso.

"How could he possibly lose?" someone rolled their eyes. Even though he was at a type disadvantage, Lin Sen was still a trainer from the Magic University Team. Fighting against counter types is basic training.

The battle began.

Despite facing a Water-type Spirit, Lin Sen and Chimchar remained relatively calm.

They were waiting for the opponent to attack first, not to seize the right moment, but because Lin Sen felt he should give the newcomer a break.

Then, the expressions on Lin Sen and Chimchar's faces froze.

"Squirtle, Water Gun!"

Under He Xiaomai's command, Squirtle retracted its limbs, head, and tail into its shell, and then, like a UFO, started to spin and fly through the air. It was using the propulsion of the Water Gun to fly. The Squirtle, hidden inside its shell, had actually combined the High-speed Rotation move with the Water Gun technique to form a combination move similar to the Counter Shield tactic.

There were six holes in the turtle shell, and at that moment, each emitted a water flow like a whiplash, indiscriminately attacking the area where Chimchar was from above.

Holy shit!

Lin Sen was torn.

It was crazy enough that Chimchar had mastered the Flamethrower attack in its initial form, but this Squirtle learning a Water Gun combination move, what the hell??

Facing this terrifying Water Gun, Chimchar would undoubtedly be finished if it got hit.

Fortunately, the move wasn't executed smoothly by Squirtle, and Lin Sen's training of Chimchar was comprehensive enough that the Chimchar managed to roll around and successfully dodge all the attacks amidst the deluge.

Although he avoided the moves, Lin Sen had become completely serious at this point and decided to confront the enemy seriously. Otherwise, he really would crash and burn.

"That Squirtle..." Xu Lan, the captain of the Magic University Team, became serious. The move felt eerily familiar to her.

She remembered now, although the move was still immature, it was nearly the same principle as the Counter Shield used by someone in the Little Phoenix King Cup.

It was using rotation to increase the attacking range of the move... good for both offense and defense.

"Speaking of which..." Xu Lan, who had once commanded Snorunt at the Little Phoenix King Cup only to be eliminated by Fang Yuan's Eevee with skating skills, glanced at He Xiaomai's clothing and chuckled. Was this girl a fan of Fang Yuan?

"It's just a pity that Squirtle hasn't mastered the use of Wave-guides yet, otherwise it would never miss," commented Fang Yuan, watching the battle.

Teacher Tang Sheng, acting as the referee, also noticed the weakness of the combination move: that Squirtle couldn't see its opponent, rendering the accuracy of its moves quite low.

Although it had improved the range, power, and speed of Water Gun, it was still useless if it couldn't hit the target.

Xiao Mai clearly understood this point, but she wasn't worried. Just because Squirtle couldn't master it now didn't mean it couldn't in the future. After all, once Squirtle became more familiar with using Wave Motion, it would be able to sense the opponent's position directly.

"Use Flame Wheel to move!"

After a round of exchange, Lin Sen immediately gave his command. Chimchar's advantage was its agility, and it could use this to teach Squirtle a lesson.

Following Lin Sen's command, Chimchar quickly covered its body with flames, curled up like a wheel, and began moving rapidly across the ground. This speed was no less than that of Quick Attack or the High-speed Movement Technique.

Squirtle's gaze also shifted, following the movement of the flames.

"Perhaps I should try that move."

After sensing Chimchar's agility through the Wave Guides, He Xiaomai understood that while Chimchar might not pose a threat to Squirtle, most of Squirtle's moves would also have difficulty hitting the nimble opponent.

So...

"Concentrate and sense it, Wave-guide Missile!" said He Xiaomai.

"Squirtle!!"

In the next moment, Squirtle nodded seriously, focused on locking onto the opponent's Wave Motion, and in front of it gathered an orb that seemed like a Water Pulse but was actually a Fighting Type move, the Wave-guide Missile.

This move, too, Squirtle had not yet completely mastered, but in this level of combat, it was almost bug-like because the Wave-guide Missile could lock onto the opponent's Wave Motion and automatically pursue them!

What?

As Squirtle launched the Wave-guide Missile, Lin Sen was shocked yet again.

The speed of the Wave-guide Missile was faster than the Water Gun, creating a trail like blue lightning as it chased down Chimchar, who was using Flame Wheel to swiftly move and wait for an opportunity to attack.

No matter how much Chimchar dodged, the Wave-guide Missile kept on its tail.

In this situation, Lin Sen instantly thought of three strategies: using the Flamethrower to block the Wave-guide Missile, leading the Wave-guide Missile to hit the ground, or waiting for the missile's energy to run out. However, all three methods were difficult to execute because, after releasing the Wave-guide Missile, Squirtle began to press the attack.

"Squirtle!" As a Water Gun shot forward, forming a pincer attack with the Wave-guide Missile.

Lin Sen and Chimchar's expressions froze at the same time.

Bang~

In order to avoid the Water Gun, Chimchar was directly caught by the Wave-guide Missile. The collision of fiery red and azure blue energies resulted in a dazzling explosion!

As the smoke cleared, Chimchar couldn't continue to fight after just one move. This made Lin Sen realize that with the power of the Wave-guide Missile, even blocking with the Flamethrower wouldn't work, as the flames would be instantly crushed...
