Chapter 28 Grade-Level Competition (2)

After watching Xiaogang's first match, I couldn't help but marvel at how many hidden talents there were in this class. Just one student from Class 4 already possessed such excellent combat awareness, which is rare.

Because Huang Yaozu's kite tactic hasn't been implemented yet. If he really does implement the kite tactic, I believe Xiao Gang won't win so easily, since his Geodude's speed is no match for the Torchic's.

At this moment, Xuan Mingtian said, "Xiao Gang, you have many shortcomings in this battle."

“Yes, Xiao Tian. And from what I observed, this Torchic’s ability isn’t Blaze but Acceleration. If the opponent doesn’t rush to attack, I believe that even if I win, it will be a Pyrrhic victory,” Xiao Gang replied after recalling the battle just now.

"Yes, Xiaogang, you guessed right. Huang Yaozu's Torchic does have the Speed-Up ability. If the opponent uses a kiting tactic, then it will be a contest of stamina and a momentary mistake. This is a very fatal tactic."

"Xiao Tian, ​​is there any way to break this tactic?" Xiao Gang asked.

Xuan Mingtian said seriously, "Breaking this tactic is neither easy nor difficult. For your Geodude, the skill hit rate is actually very disadvantageous against an opponent with acceleration characteristics who also runs around randomly. So what you need to do is disrupt the field and disrupt the opponent's movement trajectory."

Indeed, when facing fast opponents, not only in terms of flight speed, but also in terms of sprint speed like this turkey, the best approach is to disrupt their vision or disrupt the terrain to alter their movement patterns.

For example, in the battle Xiaogang just fought, when Torchic was moving, Geodude could have used Rock Smash to attack the ground where Torchic was moving. This attack would have hit the ground, not Torchic itself, because while the rocks created by the attack wouldn't hurt the chicken, they would have significantly affected its movement speed and patterns.

"Bin, it's your turn to go on stage soon. Don't be reckless. Even though your opponent is a Grass-type, don't underestimate anyone, understand?" Xuan Mingtian instructed Yang Bin, acting like a mother hen.

"Brother Tian, ​​I understand. I will fight with all my might," Yang Bin replied.

With a slap, Xuan Mingtian slapped Yang Bin's hand with his small hand and said, "You bastard, when did I tell you to fight with all your might? What I meant was to tell you to be a little more obstinate. If you can use Spark, don't use Claw to attack. Charmander is still small. It's time to train it to use melee attacks when it evolves into Charmeleon. Right now, you need to learn more ranged attack skills."

"Okay, Brother Tian, ​​I'm off to the competition." Yang Bin said and headed straight for the competition venue.

In less than 30 seconds, Yang Bin had arrived at the battlefield. His opponent was a little girl from Class 2. The little girl's Pokémon was a Grass-type Chikorita, and Xuan Mingtian's panel also showed its information.

菊草叶

property: grass

Features: Lush

Qualification: Green

Skills: Tackle, Cry, Leaf Blade, Poison Powder, Vine Whip, Rooting

When he saw this information, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. This was another little girl, the sixth child of his aunt's. Let's see how Binzi handles this situation.

Yang Bin VS Lin En'er

The referee, seeing the two players enter the arena with their Pokémon, didn't waste any words: "Both sides, please prepare, the battle begins."

Yang Bin gave the first command to Charmander: "Charmander, use smoke to cover your side of the field."

Seeing this scene, the corner of my mouth twitched even more. How amazing is that? Luckily, the opponent wasn't a flying type, otherwise this smoke would have been useless.

A clear and melodious voice rang out from the field: "Chrysanthemum leaves, we'll use rooting."

Upon hearing this, Yang Bin's eyes widened. How afraid of death must this person be? But Yang Bin immediately banished the thought from his mind, because his boss was the same way, even more so than this chrysanthemum leaf.

"Charmander, use Spark to test the waters first."

"Aww": No problem

Upon hearing Yang Bin's words, Lin En'er simultaneously gave the order to Chicaoye: "Use the poison powder in the direction of the sparks."

When the sparks came into contact with the drifting poison powder, they burst into flames with a whoosh. The poison powder successfully resisted the sparks; this is the reaction when the flames come into contact with the powder. The sparks burned the poison powder away, and both sides lost the offensive capabilities of their skills.

Seeing this, Xiao Gang's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Xiao Tian, ​​this Lin En'er is very clever. She actually came up with this idea."

“That’s true. If Binzi makes even the slightest mistake, his chances in this match will be slim. This little girl must be a top student in her class,” Xuan Mingtian replied calmly.

Yang Bin on the field also looked at his opponent with a serious expression, because he did not expect that Charmander's Spark skill would be blocked by Poison Powder, and the smoke around Charmander began to dissipate slowly.

"Chikorita, what a great opportunity! Use Razor Leaf!" As the smoke gradually dissipated, Lynn instructed Chikorita to unleash the Razor Leaf attack on Charmander.

"Little Charmander, use Will-o'-the-Wisp to break the Leaf Blade."

After Yang Bin gave the order, the same number of pale blue ghost flames as the Flying Leaf Blade rose around the little fire dragon. Bang bang bang, five sounds rang out, and the Flying Leaf Blade was successfully countered by the ghost flames.

"You're very good, but I'm going to get serious now. Charmander, cover the entire area with smoke." Yang Bin shouted to Lin En'er and then gave the order to Charmander.

"Hmph, then I'll see how powerful you are." Chrysanthemum Leaf used her vine whip to continuously clear a space around her. Lin En'er didn't expect Yang Bin to be so troublesome, which made her, a top student, very unhappy.

Although the smoke enveloped the entire area, the chicory leaves created a circular blank space around them as they continuously waved their vines.

Meanwhile, Xuan Mingtian, watching from the sidelines, noticed a barely perceptible upward smirk on Binzi's lips and said to Xiao Gang, "The little girl has fallen for their trap."

After hearing this, Xiao Gang pondered for a moment and said, "I see. I didn't expect Binzi to have such a method."

Yes, Yang Bin's plan was to let Chrysanthemum Leaf clear an area that was easy to observe and attack, because this was a good condition for a sneak attack from behind. If someone didn't know how to launch a sneak attack from behind when the area was shrouded in smoke, then he himself was not worthy of being Xuan Mingtian's follower.

"Charmander, this is a good opportunity, use Spark to catch Metal Claw." Yang Bin immediately gave Charmander the command, seeing that the conditions had been met.

At this moment, Charmander somehow circled behind Chikorita and breathed out a burst of sparks. At the same time, a figure appeared not far away and rushed towards Chikorita with glowing claws.

By the time Lynn tried to give the command, it was too late, because the little dragon had already rushed in front of it.

Then, with a thud, Chikorita crashed to the ground not far away. Although the metal claw hadn't killed it instantly, the way Chikorita struggled to its feet showed that the attack had left it with little fighting ability.

"Chrysanthemum Leaf, let's just admit defeat. You're already injured," Lynn said worriedly.

"Leaf Leaf": Master Silver, I can still fight.

Seeing Chicory's determined look, Lin En'er gritted her teeth and gave the order: "Then let's use Rooting to restore our strength."

After seeing this, Yang Bin gave Chikorita no more chances: "Charmander, go up and deliver the final blow with Metal Claw."

"Use the impact to strike the chicory leaf." Lin En'er already understood that Yang Bin wanted to break the chicory leaf's roots, but she couldn't give up on the final blow.

Bang! The two attacks collided, sending both flying two meters apart. Charmander stood firmly on the ground, while Chikorita lay on the ground with swirling eyes. The outcome of the battle was clear.

The referee then announced: "Yang Bin from Class 1 wins this match."

On the commentary platform not far away, the principal nodded and said, "Hey, Teacher Chen, this match was exciting, wasn't it? Yang Bin performed very well, so I want to tell you, we don't need to worry about those three."

"I understand, Principal. It's true what you said. I didn't expect Yang Bin's little dragon to improve so much in just a day and a half," the homeroom teacher said with emotion.

The principal said, "So let them take leave if they want, as long as they don't demolish the college, it's fine."

The homeroom teacher teased the principal, saying, "What if they really tear down the college in the future? Are we just going to ignore it?"

"Teacher Chen, you're provoking my dignity as the principal. If Xiao Tian wants to demolish it, go ahead. I'm still happy to do so, since I also want to renovate the college."

The homeroom teacher stopped talking when he saw the principal's lewd appearance, because he didn't know when the principal would blurt out such a sentence again.

When they returned to Xuan Mingtian and the others, Lin En'er also came over to greet Binzi who was coming down from the stage.

Xuan Mingtian then spoke up, "Binzi, your tactic is good, but it has many shortcomings, especially when you encounter Pokémon that can blow away enemies or have wings. In those cases, your tactic is practically useless."

“Brother Tian, ​​I’ve thought of that too, but Little Fire Dragon has only been trained for a day and a half. Like you said, it will take a lot of time to become fully trained,” Yang Bin replied.

Xuan Mingtian said, "Okay, we'll talk about this when we get home later."

After finishing their conversation with Yang Bin, the trio simultaneously looked at Lin En'er beside them.

Yang Bin was the first to speak: "Lin, what are you doing here? I don't think your class is here."

“Yes, I’m from Class 2. I just want to know why you beat me so easily. Even though there’s an elemental advantage, I’m still a little unconvinced,” Lynn said.

At that moment, Xiao Gang and Yang Bin both turned to look at me, which also made Lin En'er look at me.

"Why are you all looking at me? Binzi, this is your problem. She's asking you. Although you're my follower, I won't restrict you too much," Xuan Mingtian said helplessly.

After thinking for a full minute, Yang Bin solemnly said, "Lin, it's very simple. You can do it as long as you study hard and train your Pokémon diligently. So it's not a secret."

Upon hearing this, Lin En'er became furious, gritted her teeth, snorted, and ran back to her classroom.
