Dual-career Pokémon trainer

The crackling sound echoed in the classroom.

On the screen, according to Lin Jing's needs, several Pokémon quickly appeared in his eyes.

He quickly checked off three Pokémon and prepared their skills.

The scene changed and the battle had begun.

In the ordinary, most orthodox fighting arena, a black sphere emitting a strange aura was slowly floating in it, and from time to time it put on a somewhat funny smile on its face.

Its opponent, on the other hand, looked a lot cuter, a pink-bodied, plump-looking creature.

"Tsk, using Gastly, a Poison-type and Ghost-type move, to attack Pipi, who is good at normal-type and Fairy-type moves? Everyone can do this.

And that Pipi was weak to begin with."

As soon as he saw the lineups of both sides, Xiaoxuan curled his lips in disdain.

However, Lin Jing completely ignored the other party's thoughts and just gently pressed the skill key.

The next moment, the Pokémon of both sides used their moves one after another.

Purple ghost energy surged on Gastly's body, which already exuded an ominous aura, as if it had been deprived of most of its energy, making it look listless as soon as it came on the stage.

The energy that made people want to stay away from it just by looking at it rushed towards Pipi. The purple smoke accompanied by the strange ghost energy wrapped around it like a heel, and even gave Pipi's body a layer of strange purple lines.

However, judging from the health and status, this move did not seem to have any effect on Pipi. Instead, Gastly himself paid a heavy price of having his physical strength reduced by half.

Pippi's attack finally came at this moment. The little finger waved gently and white fluorescence flew out of the body, circled around Gastly, and flew back to Pippi the next moment.

Obviously nothing happened, but the students below started discussing spontaneously.

“It’s imitation.”

"That's right. This move can steal the opponent's moves and use them. Whether it's a strengthening move or an attacking move, it can all be copied. It really hurt me the first time I used it."

“That’s why he deliberately used a move that would reduce his own health.

It seems that they were well prepared.”

"That's weird. He shouldn't know Pipi's moves. Could it be that the teacher told him or he just peeked at them?"

A group of little guys were still discussing, but Lin Jing, whose focus was still on the battle, had no time to care about their thoughts.

Just thinking silently in my heart.

I didn’t expect that the first one would be Pipi, but fortunately he was hurt, so it seems that it is not a magic defense feature.

Otherwise, he would have revealed his secret weapon in the first game.

But the current situation is better than he imagined.

It can be seen that Xiao Qian really let it go when setting up the game, just like in the gym battle.

Forget about actual combat, the computer AI is also set up to imitate this move.

It is obvious that they are preparing to put all the pressure on the big milk tank at the end.

On the screen, as the first battle ended, the health of both sides appeared in front of everyone.

Gastly had consumed half of his health, but Pipi, who appeared to be in no abnormal condition, suddenly had the pattern formed by the purple gas on his body spread a lot at the moment the round ended, and a small amount of his physical strength also disappeared.

"It's just an abnormal state or a binding type of move. But it's really strange, is the computer display broken?"

Xiaoxuan curled his lips, originally thinking it was some kind of ability.

As a result, although Pipi still lost a lot of blood in the end, the amount he consumed was still not as much as the physical strength lost by Gastly when he used this move.

"Ok?"

Seeing that no one else seemed to refute, Lin Jing looked at Du Juan next to him with some confusion.

Anyway, the effect of this trick is very obvious, right? Didn’t you teach me?

Du Juan also understood the meaning in Lin Jing's eyes, and thinking of the effect of the curse, she scratched her face awkwardly, using a sound that only they could hear.

“Because some ghost-type Pokémon are dangerous.

Normally we don’t talk too much about this in lectures, for fear that the children will become too curious about it and go on adventures to places like haunted houses.

Therefore, we won’t specifically mention the effects of Ghost-type Pokémon using curse moves, which is very obscure knowledge.”

...Okay, I understand.

Lin Jing always felt a little weird when he was suddenly subjected to such a stupid ridicule.

However, it is unlikely to expect these little idiots to know so much about Pokémon.

Thinking of this, Lin Jing turned his attention back to the battle.

The second round of the battle has also ended.

Just in case, Pippi's possibility of escape was blocked by Gastly's black gaze.

Of course, as a price, Gastly's health was also reduced a lot by the energy balls shaken out by the finger waving technique.

The already low blood volume can now be described as a candle in the wind.

Pipi's health has been reduced by more than half by the curse.

"how come?"

"What kind of move is this?!"

At this moment, the students in the audience finally realized that something was wrong.

Of course they knew about the Black Eyes. Since it was certain that this move had no effect, the source of Pipi's inexplicable damage was naturally only caused by Gastly's move that had just consumed half of his health.

But it stands to reason that even if it's a poisonous move that doubles the damage over time, it wouldn't be so outrageous that it could take down half of the enemy's health in the second round!

Lin Jing looked like a teacher at the moment, calmly pressing a button and explaining slowly: "It's not surprising that you don't know.

The name of this move is Curse, and it is also called Incantation in some places. It is a ghost-type transformation move.

Ghost-type Pokémon sacrifice their own physical strength and ghost energy to allow the opponent to continue to suffer damage from the erosion of ghost energy.

Even this special state cannot be cleared by moves or items such as Refresh or Sleep.

It can only disappear by taking back the Poké Ball and disrupting it with the special wavelength that only exists when the Poké Ball is recovered.

So the cursed state is not even classified as an abnormal state.

However, what is interesting is that when curse moves are used by Pokémon of other attributes, they can increase their attack and defense capabilities at the cost of their own speed.

However, since ghost-type Pokémon rarely appear in front of humans, and this move can only be used by ghost-type Pokémon to such an effect, don't even mention you students.

Even many trainers who have already set out on their journey are not very clear about this extremely special skill used by ghost-type Pokémon.

After all, even among all the known Pokémon skills, this ability to have different effects for the same move is unique.”

As we were talking, the third round on the screen was also going on.

I thought Gastly, who had not been rotated, would definitely be defeated this time, but I didn't expect that after another wave of Pipi's finger skills, Pipi's body was wrapped by a blue dragon, and his momentum increased a lot.

Unfortunately, its behavior did not cause any harm to Gastly.

Of course, even if Pipi used an attacking move this time, it would be useless, after all, a blue film had already formed around Gastly.

There was no need for anyone else to say anything, Lin Jing had already told the story slowly.

"Hold on. Since it is a Normal-type move and it is easy to learn, it is a move that all Pokémon can learn.

Of course, I don’t think I need to say much about the effect of this move.”

"A combination of a curse move and a defensive move?!"

"Great, I'll make a note of this."

"It's useless, right? Didn't I tell you that this move can only be used by a Ghost-type Pokémon that has learned Curse?

Not to mention the problem of having to learn to hold on later.

Ghost-type Pokémon are rare."

Unlike some excited classmates, this classmate was very calm.

“Yes, ghost-type Pokémon are very rare and some are quite dangerous.

This time I am just letting you guys know how to combine situations and skills. Don’t just use a Pokémon or a combination of moves that seems very strong.

The best Pokémon is the one that suits you."

As he spoke, Gastly had already used hypnosis.

Although in order to prevent students from using this kind of trick to skip classes, the actual chance of hypnosis is about 50-50.

But Lin Jing's luck seems to be pretty good.

I don’t know if it’s the novice protection period or the bondage from dirty tricks.

The hypnosis, which originally had a low chance of success, actually hit the mark in one go. With the hypnosis being successful, Pippi's last move was not even possible before the cursed move took away her last bit of strength.

Gastly, however, managed to stay on the field with the last bit of strength he had left, and after the opponent's second Jigglypuff came on the field, he used up his last bit of strength. The cursed energy filled with ghostly energy had already corroded Jigglypuff's round pink body into a pink basketball (pink?) ball with tiny stripes.

As a result, Gastly lost his last bit of strength and the charming voice released by Jigglypuff just after his appearance also hit nothing.

Of course, this doesn't matter now.

Although Gastly finally lost his ability to fight, Jigglypuff, who had fallen into a cursed state, had basically announced his own fate.

"Basically, if you use the curse move skillfully enough, you can use it to take out two Pokémon from the opponent.

Of course, if Gastly's level is high enough and he can learn the move Same Life, using Same Life when facing the second one is a more stable method.

After all, when dealing with the second Pokémon, Gastly didn't have enough energy left to use Black Eye again.

Therefore, in normal combat, the curse move is unlikely to be effective when fighting the second one.

Relatively speaking, with Gastly's remaining strength and the same fate move, it would be no problem for him to steadily take down the second one without any problem when the opponent didn't know Gastly's move."

Lin Jing's voice sounded a little excited.

He is very skilled in dirty tricks, but considering the numerous real-life combat situations, his little ones did not specifically learn such things.

Although it was just a computer game, he was still quite interested in finally getting to play some dirty tricks again.

The second battle on the stage had just begun, but the students below the stage basically already knew what would happen to Jigglypuff and were already clamoring to discuss it.

"So... using Gastly can basically consistently defeat the opponent's two Pokémon?"

"And I really only used transformation-type moves."

"But... isn't this kind of battle a bit..."

The classmate had something to say that was stuck in his throat. If he wanted to add some adjectives to describe Lin Jing's behavior, probably only the word "dirty" could match it.

Of course, what is even more unbelievable is probably Xiaoxuan’s classmate.

But now no one cares about his expression.

Because everyone's attention was focused on the bay leaf that was using photosynthesis to continuously restore its own strength, and even had time to sprinkle a layer of poison powder on the opponent.

Until the last bit of Jigglypuff's strength was taken away by the curse, Bay Leaf's strength was still abundant, and she sprinkled a layer of poisonous powder on Miltank who had just come on the field.

A faint purple tinge immediately appeared on the face of Big Milk Tank, who had not yet stood firmly.

It's just a pity that due to the level issue, it can't have a highly poisonous effect. Otherwise, even if this big milk tank had been drinking milk, it would have been killed by this simple move.

But it doesn't matter, he doesn't count on this anyway.

Under the shocked gazes of a group of little rascals, Lin Jing directly took back the bay leaf that had just fallen into a charming state.

Replacing its original position was a somewhat dazed looking creature, blue all over, with lipstick on its lips, saluting people...jelly?

"this is..."

"Patience Pokémon, really?"

"I know this. It's said that it doesn't seem to have any attack moves. It's a very useless Pokémon!"

?

Hearing the voice below, Lin Jing looked at Du Juan with a strange expression.

Obviously, it's about how your students are taught.

Is Weng really useless? You may have seen that there is an ultimate boss in his family who can fight back after being hit by a shadow ball from a mythical beast.

'At their age now, we mainly teach them the more common Pokémon and moves.

And that's why we invited some trainers to help introduce it.'

Dujuan was somewhat used to it this time and explained the reason openly.

Lin Jing: ...-_-||Okay, if you think about it carefully, it seems unlikely to expect these human cubs to know so much about Pokémon.

And in his opinion, there is a very magical thing about this world, that is, there are still many people who don’t like or even hate Pokémon.

So even though the academy teaches knowledge about Pokémon, there are still a small number of children who turn up their disdain at this aspect.

I don’t know if it’s because Pokémon will be included in education or even exams, or if there are always people like this because there are too many Pokémon in this world.

Tsk---I can understand it when I think about it this way, but I still feel that these people really don't know how to cherish.

Lin Jing rubbed his palm habitually, but unfortunately there was no furry one now, so he just slid the mouse back and forth.

Coincidentally, the cursor on the screen fell on the word "Victory" that was already displayed.
