Yuuichi was stunned for a moment.
"Didn’t Ivysaur’s Hidden Power hit earlier?"
"If you choose to go for a Stall Battle, switg to an offensive approach isn’t a wise move," Natsume expined. "Magon’s Ability is Sturdy, and Ivysaur’s power isn’t enough. It just left an opening."
On the Judges' Panel, Shintaro Master, the Champion of the South Kyushu Championship, echoed Natsume’s analysis.
"Still too reckless," Shintaro Master frowned. "The Hidden Power card would’ve beeer pyed ter."
"Young people, they be impulsive," President Shoya said with a smile. "Who’s up ?"
Shintaro Master g the list and raised an eyebrow.
"A student from the Finance Department? And they made it to the semifinals?"
"This is the biggest dark horse of the tour," Shoya chuckled.
"An amateur making it to the semifinals…" Shintaro Master’s tone was cold. "I think the Piplup Cup’s prestige is deing."
These non-specialized Trainers, in their pursuit of battle strength, ofte to amateurish and overly harsh breeding and trainihods.
Shintaro Master had seen too many such cases, which had led to his stereotypical view of amateur testants.
But Shoya just smiled. "This isn’t your average amateur testant…"
"His and skills are even more impressive than some Elite Trainers I’ve seen!"
Shintaro Master frowned, unvinced.
Shoya chuckled. "You’ll see what I mean soon enough!"
……
In the testant tunnel.
"Make it quick. I’ve got a bad feeling about this," Natsume muttered through gritted teeth.
Eevee was home alone, and in theory, that shouldn’t be a problem.
But the thing is, my Pokémon doly follow the rules of logic!
Sitting in the testant room, Natsume grew more uneasy the longer he thought about it, his hands aurning cold.
He just o finish the match quickly and rush home to che things.
"Haunter!"
Sensing Natsume’s ay, Haunter nodded solemnly.
Pulling out a Petaya Berry Block from who-knows-where, Hauossed it into the air.
"Haunter~(*⊙~⊙)"
Haunter opes mouth wide and swallowed the Petaya Berry Block whole.
In an instant, Haunter’s eyes widened, veins bulging as if filled with blood.
"Haunter!"
Natsume’s expression turned odd.
He’d already checked—there wasn’t a drop of anything suspicious in that energy booster!
……
Natsume stepped out of the testant tunnel, and the crowd erupted into cheers.
"Go, Natsume-sensei!"
"Look, Natsume’s here!"
After only a feearances, Natsume already had a fan club in the audieands, plete with banners.
Natsume couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.
Turning around, he noticed even his oppo’s fans looked excited.
"…Natsume-sensei," Reina blinked, "please go easy on me…"
"I’ll try to be gentle," Natsume nodded solemnly.
Pulling out a Poké Ball, a red light flickered, and Haunter levitated onto the field with its signature sinister grin.
The audience buzzed with chatter.
"Gastly evolved!"
"He waited until the semifinals to evolve? That’s some serious strategy!"
"Is this all part of Natsume-sensei’s pn?"
Shintaro Master took a closer look at Haunter a out a surprised sound.
"This Haunter… seems exceptionally well-bred."
Shoya also nodded.
"It’s probably beehan a week since evolution. I wonder how well it’s adapted."
Rei out her Breloom.
The kangaroo-like Breloom, with its mushroom cap resembling a hat, rimarily green and beige.
Extending the red cws on its arms, Breloom let out a sharp cry.
At the same time, the System’s Pokédex dispyed Breloom’s data.
【Breloom, Poison+FightingAbility: Effect SporeMoves: Mach Punch, Mega Drain, Stun Spore, Leech Seed, Spore, Bullet Seed, Substitute, Headbutt】
The Effect Spore Ability was tricky, with a ce to inflict random status ditions on the oppo.
Judging from its moveset and Ability, it seemed to have ied Natsume-sensei’s love for dirty strategies.
Natsume pondered for a moment as the referee’s whistle sounded.
"Begin!"
"Go, Breloom!"
Reina was excited to battle Natsume-sensei, but her eyes remained sharp.
"Spore!"
From Breloom’s neck, a cloud of spore-like particles scattered, enough to make anyone who touched them drowsy.
With Breloom’s Effect Spore Ability boosting it, the move was nearly impossible to avoid!
Reina’s lips curled into a fident smile, but her eyes suddenly widened.
A ghostly blue Will-O-Wisp bloomed on the field, burning the spores into fluttering blue butterflies!
The dazzling se drew cheers from the audience.
Shintaro Master looked stunned. "This Natsume… is he also a Pokémon Coordinator?"
Shoya’s mouth hung open.
His gaze toward Natsume was filled with admiration.
This guy always mao pull off something new!
The field was filled with dang phosphorest fmes, the eerie glow unmistakably Haunter’s fuse Ray!
Breloom felt dizzy, its steps being unsteady.
Natsume anded firmly, "Haunter, Hex!"
"Haunter!"
A thick bck mist began to spread from Haunter’s body.
As the fuse Ray dimmed, the bck mist grew rger, engulfing Breloom in an instant.
Haunter’s sinister ughter echoed as pained cries came from within the mist…
The arena fell silent.
Yuuichi and Kazuya exged gnces, looking bewildered.
Is this the same Brother Natsume we know?
How did he get this strong in just a month!
As the bck mist dissipated, a battered and trembling Breloom stood, barely holding on.
Reina shouted urgently, "Breloom, Mega Drain!"
But just as Breloom struggled to its feet, anhostly blue Will-O-Wisp erupted on its body!
Boom!!
On the Judges' Panel, Shintaro Master looked as if he’d seen a ghost.
Though Reina was only a high school testant…
To be pletely dominated like this… the gap in strength was just too wide!
What’s more, this testant named Natsume hadn’t given Reina any ce to terattack.
Without even needing to think, his rapid, aggressive style seemed like sed nature to him.
"I take back what I said earlier," Shintaro Master sighed. "This is a Trainer with fshy tactid incredible aggressiveness!"
Shoya was momentarily stunned.
Are we talking about the same testant?
In the quarterfinals, wasn’t Natsume the one ith an ultra-defensive SubProtect Toxic strategy?
For a rookie Traio switch between two pletely different strategies so effortlessly…
"These young people are truly being more and more impressive," Shoya murmured.
Breloom colpsed i, and the referee blew the whistle.
"Wiokyo Metropolitan Uy, Natsume!"
