The fans watching outside the screen heard what Li Jia said: …
【Scum Huan】!
【Sorry, I judged you unfairly. I misunderstood Coach Li Jia】
【The Sunny Day buff isn't just for Fire types, right?】
【That's right. If you can't hit your opponent, what does type advantage matter?】
【So far, Director Su has shown us so many ways to deal with type disadvantage through combat.】
【Such great combat mechanics, it's a shame if they don't make it into a game.】
…
Su Yi Huan doesn't spend much time on forums, so he doesn't know that the forum regulars have already figured out his future plans.
Television series, movies, games.
This is the trio of his company's future development.
For now, the attention of all the Pokémon fans is still focused on this match.
As many fans guessed.
Even if you have a type advantage, it's meaningless if you can't hit your target.
Charmeleon unleashed another Flame Wheel.
It was dodged by Victreebel in almost the exact same way as before.
But this time, Satoshi was a little smarter.
Seeing Victreebel getting closer and closer, he quickly ordered Charmeleon to stop using Flame Wheel and retreat.
“If long range doesn't work, then let's go close!”
Satoshi waved his hand and shouted, "Flame Fang!"
When using long-range attacks, Charmeleon was practically standing still.
It was easy for Victreebel, with its speed advantage, to exploit its weaknesses.
So, let's go for close combat!
“Use Sweet Scent.”
Facing the Charmeleon with its mouth wide open, full of blazing fangs, Li Jia remained calm.
Victreebel fanned the leaves on either side, acting as its arms.
A pink breeze enveloped Charmeleon.
Causing its steps to stumble, it swayed back and forth like a drunkard, easily avoided by Victreebel.
"Sweet Scent, it's a move that can reduce the target's agility."
Li Jia explained with a light smile, then her tone changed, her eyes narrowed.
"Razor Leaf!"
Scattered razor-sharp leaves rained down on Charmeleon like a raging storm.
Even with its type advantage, it won't be able to hold on like this!
And don't forget, it hasn't landed a single hit on its opponent yet!
“Charmeleon, you come back and rest for a bit!”
Satoshi, unsure how to break the move, decided to bring Charmeleon back first and adjust its state.
After all, Charmeleon is his trump card for fighting the Jade Rainbow Gym, he can't exhaust it in the first round.
However, just as Satoshi took out the Poké Ball to try and bring Charmeleon back.
Unexpectedly, Charmeleon roared.
It released Flame Wheel while enduring the Razor Leaf.
It engulfed all the razor leaves.
"It's no use."
Under Li Jia's command, Victreebel, with its incredible speed granted by the weather buff, once again.
It moved around in blind spots, making Flame Wheel unable to hit it.
“Roar——”
Charmeleon remained rampant, its fangs blazing as it charged towards Victreebel.
“Charmeleon!”
Satoshi cried out in surprise.
"Disobeying orders? I've seen this many times, Vine Whip."
Li Jia gently raised her hand.
Victreebel extended its vines from the leaves on either side, precisely wrapping around Charmeleon's ankles, causing it to crash to the ground with a "thud."
Kasumi: "No! Charmeleon isn't listening to orders!"
Takeshi: "After evolution, Pokémon can change their personalities."
…
Ouyang Nana, who had been confirmed to play Xiaohuang, but for now is just an ordinary audience member, was stunned. She asked Zhao Jinmai and Zhang Zifeng, who are now her classmates:
“This... Pokémon can disobey orders?”
Zhang Zifeng nodded, "Yeah, it's Su-shu's design. And didn't you notice? Charmeleon had a bit of a rebellious streak when fighting Lance."
Zhao Jinmai: "There's this setting in the game too."
Ouyang Nana nodded blankly.
A few seconds later, she looked like she had seen a ghost.
What?
Game, a game!?
…
…
Its eyes were red, like a gamer who has gone completely bonkers.
Even when lying on the ground, it still raised its head.
It unleashed another Flame Wheel!
“Charmeleon! Enough!”
Satoshi, who had the courage to stand up to the plundering and pillaging Team Rocket, was genuinely anxious this time.
He doesn't fear fighting evil, but Charmeleon's current state.
Truly made him panicked.
Li Jia, noticing Satoshi's situation, decided to end this nightmarish battle for Satoshi early.
"Solar Beam!"
Li Jia gave the order, the camera zoomed in on Victreebel's open mouth facing the sky.
Countless tiny silver particles quickly converged in front of its mouth.
But in less than two seconds, they turned into a huge silver energy cannon.
Boom!
The instant Victreebel bent its back, the energy cannon, with unstoppable power, pierced through the Flame Wheel and struck Charmeleon directly in the chest!
“Charmeleon is unable to battle! Victreebel wins!”
The female referee announced immediately.
Kasumi: "Wow, what powerful energy... That's the Grass-type Pokémon's ultimate move, Solar Beam."
Takeshi: "That's the power of Li Jia, the Gym Leader of the Kanto League."
The fans in front of their televisions were stunned.
They didn't expect that Satoshi would lose so decisively on the last day of summer.
Using Charmeleon, who had just evolved last week.
Logically speaking, shouldn't there be a "post-evolution protection period"? Shouldn't you show off your new form first?
The Digimon 4th Generation protagonist team would say, "Post-evolution protection period? Never heard of it."
