----------

After reading the training plan, Marcus's mouth twitched.

One Lopunny as a bunny girl, one Indeedee as a little maid, is that right?

Those who know will think he is building a Normal Type team, those who don't will think he has some special fetish...

"But in that case, the special attackers are enough..." Marcus mused in his heart.

Dolliv, Indeedee, plus the planned Zorua, three special attackers are in place.

Adding the Slakoth and Lopunny that Norman is looking for, Marcus only needs to find one more suitable physical attacker to complete his team.

Just as he was contemplating the choice for the sixth Pokemon, the broadcast sounded.

"Contestants 76, Marcus, and 98, Miss Nessa, please get ready... the battle is about to begin."

Marcus and Nessa, who was in the distance, exchanged glances and simultaneously stood up to walk towards the contestant aisle.

"This match is still the genius young man Marcus, and his opponent is Miss Nessa from the Galar region!"

"Roar—"

The deafening cheers from the audience seemed to become even more enthusiastic because of Nessa's appearance, and the guys in the live stream immediately expressed their feelings:

"My wife! Nobody snatch her!!"

"Wow! This figure, this outfit... Coach, I want to fall in love!"

"Ahem, although I came here to learn tactics from the dog Marcus, it's also normal to take a look at long legs on the side, right? Who agrees and who objects?"

"Hiss... Ha... Quickly strike a few more poses, spread your legs a bit more! I'm almost there..."

"You're too weak, I'm already washing my hands..."

"↑The heaven-defying duo, scary..."

"..."

Soon, both sides stood ready, and at the referee's command, they simultaneously threw out their Poke Balls.

"Go, Drednaw, defeat your opponent!"

"Dolliv, prepare for battle!"

"Boom—" A large-sized Pokemon, similar to a large alligator snapping turtle, appeared in the center of the field. The battle axe on its head was sharp and angular, full of dominance.

[Drednaw lv30 (Advanced)]

Marcus raised an eyebrow: "As expected, it evolved... but that's all there is to it."

"To defeat you, I have undergone targeted training, even if you have the type advantage, it's impossible for you to win!" Nessa said resonantly.

"Then I'll wait and see."

"Drednaw, while charging forward, use Scary Face!"

Scary Face: Lowers the opponent's speed by 2 stages.

Clearly, Nessa planned to limit Dolliv while attacking head-on!

Marcus was unmoved: "Use Grassy Terrain!"

"Dolliv~" The vibrant vitality spread out, a green light glowed around Dolliv, and the lush grass quickly spread to the edge of the field. Its mastery of Grassy Terrain was becoming increasingly proficient.

"Facing the aggressive Drednaw, Contestant Marcus actually activated Grassy Terrain on the spot! Does he not know that Drednaw is a Pokemon that is very good at close-quarters combat?!"

Seeing that Drednaw was approaching, Nessa's eyes lit up: "Now is the time, use Body Slam with full power!"

Body Slam, a Normal Type move, was precisely the move she had trained Drednaw specifically to defeat Marcus.

Marcus raised his eyelids: "Growth."

"What?! Contestant Marcus made an unexpected judgment once again! But the Normal Type Body Slam is going to hit hard against Dolliv!"

Nessa's face was very red, this was clearly looking down on her!

At the same time, the comments in the live stream also flew up.

"Lol, does he think Dolliv's small body can block my Drednaw's ferocious big head?"

"I have sufficient evidence to prove that the person upstairs is driving, I suggest arresting them directly!"

"What kind of nonsensical command is this, is this Bronze rank? I can do it too..."

"Here they come, brothers! It's resisting an attack against the type advantage again! I call it the strongest shield!"

"??? Does anyone really think it can resist this?"

"Ahem, let me explain to the audience who don't know the truth, my Marcus's Dolliv once withstood Beak Blast head-on and used Leech Seed to slowly wear down Kahili's Toucannon..."

"This non-STAB Body Slam is simply a splash of water..."

"..."

In the field, the two sides had already engaged in close combat.

"Bang—"

Drednaw heavily impacted in front of Dolliv, knocking it back several meters, and was still pushing forward!

"Dolliv..." Dolliv suddenly flipped over to avoid the battle axe on Drednaw's head. A faint green light glowed from the Grassy Terrain, and it seemed to have not suffered much damage!

"Oh my god! It's too amazing!! Dolliv actually withstood it head-on!!"

"Wow—" The atmosphere on the scene immediately exploded.

Marcus smiled slightly. Dolliv with maximum defenses plus holding a Grassy Seed had already increased its physical defense by 1 stage when it activated the Grassy Terrain in the first turn. And Drednaw's level advantage wasn't much, so it naturally couldn't threaten it.

"Strength Sap!"

Fine green light floated out from around Drednaw and was absorbed into Dolliv's body. The scratches on its front also recovered instantly, and at the same time, a light of attack reduction glowed on Drednaw.

"How could this happen..." Nessa's clenched fists unconsciously relaxed.

It was clearly a Normal Type move that should hit hard against the opponent, how could it not break through the defense?

Looking at the calm and composed Dolliv, a strong sense of powerlessness couldn't help but arise in her heart...

The opponent hadn't used a single attack move, but it gave her an unshakable sense of heaviness...

"Not attacking?" Marcus grinned, waiting leisurely for Nessa's command.

"..." Nessa's delicate eyebrows furrowed: "Drednaw, use Iron Defense!"

Iron Defense: Increases its own defense by 2 stages.

After having its attack lowered by Strength Sap, Drednaw had lost the opportunity to break through Dolliv head-on, so she planned to increase the power of Body Slam by increasing her defense.

"As everyone knows, the move Body Slam uses the defense stat to cause damage. Nessa is very smart, she clearly plans to break through in one go after boosting! But during this period, can she, who is four times weak to Grass Type, withstand Marcus's attack? We'll wait and see!"

However...

Marcus crossed his arms and watched Drednaw boost leisurely, not giving a command for a long time.

This confused the commentator: "What is Contestant Marcus doing? He's not seizing this excellent opening to attack! Instead, he's waiting for the opponent to finish boosting?!"

Nessa's chest rose and fell continuously, and she shouted: "Don't look down on me! Drednaw, charge forward, use Body Slam with full power!!"

"Drednaw!"

Feeling its trainer's emotions, Drednaw roared and charged towards Dolliv with heavy steps.

"Heh..." Seeing Drednaw's movement, Marcus suddenly showed a strange smile.

"Hmm?!" Seeing this, the anger on Nessa's face froze, and her heart skipped a beat.

The reason she dared to attack like this was naturally because she had researched Dolliv's move pool.

As the tank-type ace in Marcus's hands, Dolliv didn't have any decent attack moves, only the move Mega Drain available.

But as a turtle that is good at defense, she was very confident that she could withstand at least one hit from the opponent!

And if she could create space for Drednaw to land a second Body Slam during the opponent's recovery, Marcus would be the one to lose.

"Swish swish..." The turtle's feet swept through the lush grass, causing the grass blades to vibrate.

At a certain moment, Marcus and Dolliv simultaneously looked up, gazing at the area directly in front of Drednaw.

"It's over... Use, Grass Knot!!!"
