----------

"The contestants for the next match are both very familiar players! On one side, we have the rookie genius Trainer who achieved ten consecutive wins to advance to the Bronze rank, Marcus! In less than a month, he made the leap from a complete beginner to Bronze! His Talent Value is outstanding!"

"On the other side is the well-known Champion Chapser, NPC! All of his Pokemon are equipped according to Champion Cynthia's team composition, and his powerful Gabite is almost unrivaled at the Bronze rank!"

"Hmm?" Marcus was taken aback, he didn't expect the opponent to be like this...

Honestly, Cynthia's team is indeed a very scientific lineup.

In his previous life, when he played the Diamond and Pearl remakes, he was crushed on the ground by Cynthia countless times...

It's difficult to win without a level advantage.

Later, in the eighth and ninth generations, many people even used Cynthia's lineup to play ranked matches and even managed to get into the top 200.

From this, you can see how terrifying Cynthia's control over team composition is...

Therefore, sometimes directly copying others is also a way to enhance one's strength.

It's just that without sufficient understanding, it's easy to fail to imitate the tiger and end up imitating the dog instead...

"Then let me see what your Gabite can do... Lopunny, get ready to battle!"

"Gabite, crush him for me!"

[Gabite lv36 (Advanced)]

"Use Swords Dance!"

Swords Dance: Violently performs a battle dance to boost spirit, raising its own Attack by 2 stages.

"Fake Out!"

Lopunny flashed to Gabite's side, its speed after evolving looked pleasing to the eye.

Its large ear slapped, interrupting the execution of Swords Dance and simultaneously making Gabite stumble.

"Power-Up Punch!" Marcus didn't give the opponent any time to breathe, his attack rhythm was very tight.

In the first wave of confrontation, he confirmed that the opponent had the regular ability Sand Veil, not Rough Skin which reflects melee damage.

Sand Veil: Raises evasion during a Sandstorm.

Rough Skin: When attacked, the opponent is injured by its rough skin upon contact.

"Damn it... Dragon Claw, tear him apart for me!"

Caught off guard at the start, NPC's face darkened, and he actually chose to just stand there and fight.

But he overlooked a crucial factor—Lopunny's arms, long legs, and ears can all attack.

Because its stance was unstable, Gabite had to keep its feet balanced, so only the fins on its arms and its sharp fangs could be used...

Instead, it couldn't effectively deal with Lopunny's multi-dimensional attacks.

"Bang bang bang..."

Lopunny landed three consecutive Power-Up Punches, first blocking the opponent's claws, then using a long ear like a whip to knock it to the ground, and finally retreating completely with a leap.

Meanwhile, the light of rising Attack and Speed continuously appeared on its body.

"Roar——" The audience seats immediately erupted in thunderous cheers.

"It's amazing! Lopunny, facing the clearly higher-leveled Gabite, actually launched a brilliant quick attack! Gabite didn't gain any advantage, instead letting Lopunny increase its own Attack using Power-Up Punch!"

"Hmph..." Having the initiative stolen by Marcus, NPC's face was a bit hard to read.

After all, he was someone who called himself a Champion chaser, yet he was caught off guard by this nobody!

"Unforgivable... Gabite, use Swords Dance!"

Gabite started dancing in place, blades and shadows flashing around its body, its aura becoming increasingly sharp.

Clearly, NPC planned to use brute force to overcome skill, first boosting his Attack, then using the level advantage to finish the job!

In response, Marcus grinned: "Use... Encore!"

"Lopunny!" Lopunny also smiled and clapped its hands.

Its speed also increased by 1 stage due to its Speed Boost ability!

NPC was greatly alarmed: "No good! Gabite, quickly attack with Dragon Claw!"

However, Gabite was already unable to control itself and began continuously using Swords Dance under Lopunny's control...

With a move like Encore, a psychic attack, it's impossible to break free unless the level difference is too large or the will is astonishing.

So, for the next three turns, Gabite could only focus on using Swords Dance...

Marcus shook his head; even a pseudo-legendary, before fully evolving, has quite average abilities.

Take Gabite, for example; when facing a Lopunny with full Talent Value, it was suppressed by nearly a hundred points, which made the level advantage unable to show, and it quickly fell into a disadvantage under Lopunny's continuous boosts.

"Let's finish this! Charge forward, maximum power High Jump Kick!!"

"Lopunny~!" Lopunny tapped its toes on the ground, instantly turning into a brown streak of light, and with a whip-like leg kick, slammed Gabite heavily into the ground!

"Boom——"

Immediately, dust flew everywhere, cracks spread out from the center of the arena, and in the middle of the cracks, Gabite had already fainted.

"Gabite is unable to battle, Lopunny wins!"

[Ding, victory in an over-leveled battle, obtained 5 Universal Talent Points!]

"Whoa——"

Amidst the audience's uproar, Marcus calmly walked off the stage, no longer paying attention to the stunned NPC...

"How did this Buneary become so violent after evolving?! Beautiful and cool! I love it, I love it."

"Damn it, am I here to watch you show off your skills? I'm here to learn sneaky tactics!"

"Okay, okay... so it's a complete sweep, huh? Can't you find a more evenly matched opponent? I sidn't see enough..."

A group of comments started discussing online, many of them fans of Marcus's PokeGram.

"Brothers, don't panic, I just came from Nessa's fan group, she said she's here to snipe Marcus! The next match will probably be it!"

"Wow! Miss Nessa? Is she wearing a high-cut swimsuit today? I really want to see..."

"Chasing from Jubilife City to Oreburgh City? Hiss... I think I've discovered something amazing!"

"I, Dog Licker, a fan of Nessa, am starting a real-name provocation! I'm saying it right here today, Marcus, this shameless scoundrel, will surely face judgment today!"

"Ahem... fun fact, Nessa's Chewtle seems to have evolved into Drednaw. However, it is directly 4x weak against Dolliv"

"..."

Marcus was also surprised when he saw the comments. Nessa is here?

He was speechless for a moment, is she really this persistent...?

Just as he returned to the waiting room, Nessa, dressed in a minimalist swimsuit, came up to him.

Today she was wearing a hot outfit with a red off-the-shoulder triangle bikini top and a black high-slit short skirt, always attracting a lot of attention as she walked.

"We meet again, Marcus. After losing last time, I've grown a lot, and now I'm also a Bronze rank Trainer. Today, I'll use my full strength to defeat you!"

"Then we'll see the real deal in the match later... I just worry your Drednaw's shell isn't hard enough~" Marcus grinned.

He had absolute confidence in Dolliv...

Honestly, if you can't win with a 4x type advantage, you might as well just go home and play.

"Hmph, I'm more worried you're not tough enough!" Nessa crossed her arms, looking unconvinced.

Hearing this, Marcus raised an eyebrow: "Uh... you'd better be talking about tough battles..."

"Huh?"

Nessa was startled, then noticed the teasing looks from others around her, and only then did she react: "....You truly are a shameless scoundrel!!"

After saying that, she strode away with long legs, her steps somewhat hurried.

Marcus awkwardly rubbed his nose and didn't explain further...

He could only blame the guys in the live stream chat from his previous life for leading him astray; although he lacked practical experience, he certainly learned a lot of suggestive remarks...
