Pokémon: What should I do? My father-in-law always wants to tear me apart

"call--"

Zhou Feng took a deep breath and shouted, as if trying to give himself some confidence in this way.

"Rada, ghost face!"

"Keep your head down and don't look into its face."

Ruan Yaoyao responded quickly: "Spy Mantis, sword dance! Heart Scale Treasure, piercing sound!"

"scare--"

Arbok straightened up, opened his mouth and screamed at Scyther and Scaleblin.

Intimidate and launch!

Lada also showed a ferocious expression and stared at his opponent fiercely.

However, Scyther and Heart Scale seemed to be unaffected and lowered their heads.

One of them began to turn its body and swung its sickle; the other puffed up its scales, making a sharp, piercing sound.

Lin Yi has two elves that are good at intimidation, and Ruan Yaoyao often practices fighting with them.

In comparison, Arbok's intimidating ability seems quite cute in front of Scyther and Scaleblin.

After all, they have long been accustomed to more powerful intimidating forces, such as Tolcat, which has been training its intimidating characteristics before evolving, and Gyarados, which has a ferocious appearance.

"Oh, does Zhou Feng seem to want to use Intimidation and Ghost Face to reduce the strength and speed of Scyther and Heartscale first? What a solid tactic."

The commentator's voice echoed throughout the arena. His words were filled with passion and excitement, as if they could ignite the emotions of the audience.

However, what he said was actually not complicated, and any experienced trainer could easily see it.

The role of the commentator is not only to liven up the atmosphere on the scene, but more importantly to explain the details and strategies of the battle to the audience who are not familiar with the elf battle.

After all, not everyone is a trainer, and many people come here just to feel the passion and tension of the competition.

If there were no commentators, they might just be able to watch the game but not really understand the excitement of the game.

"What a pity, this trick didn't work. Contestant Ruan Yaoyao seems to have done some research on how to deal with intimidation. Instead, let Heart Scale reduce the opponent's defense, and then let Scyther strengthen itself?"

The commentator continued, his tone revealing a hint of regret, but at the same time he also appreciated Ruan Yaoyao's response, which was a classic neutral stance of neither helping nor rejecting.

"Arbok snake, extremely poisonous."

Zhou Feng looked at the Scyther performing the sword dance, pursed his lips and shouted loudly.

"Poisonous? Heart Scale Treasure, stand in front of Scyther, hold on."

Ruan Yaoyao wasn't sure what Zhou Feng was going to do for a moment, so she simply let Scyther continue to dance with the sword and asked Heart Scale to hold on and see what happened.

Arbok's mouth bulged, as if there was something inside.

Then, it spat out a ball of purple poison, but unexpectedly, the poison landed on Rada.

Rada then showed a painful expression and gritted his teeth to endure the pain.

There was an uproar at the scene, and many viewers did not understand why Arbok attacked his teammates?

This is being broadcast live nationwide, there won't be any internal strife, right?

Could it be that... Zhou Feng didn't want to offend King Ruan, so he resorted to this bad idea and let King Ruan's daughter win?

"There is something fishy going on..."

"Black curtain on you! If you don't understand it yourself, don't assume that others are as ignorant as you."

Just as someone was about to make some noise, they were scolded by a hot-tempered trainer nearby, making them unable to even reply.

The commentator also stepped forward at the right time and explained.

"Don't worry, everyone. Arbok's use of poison on Rattata was not an internal conflict, and there is no shady deal. That kind of situation will never happen in our match."

The commentator glanced at Ruan Tianli, and after getting his consent, he cleared his throat and said.

"In fact, Zhou Feng's Raida's trait is perseverance. Pokémon with the perseverance trait will have their attack power greatly increased when in an abnormal state. Zhou Feng wants to use this method to strengthen Raida's power."

After listening to the commentary, the audience who originally did not understand Zhou Feng's operations all showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.

In fact, if you want to cooperate with Rada's perseverance state, it is better to put it into a burned or poisoned state, rather than a highly toxic state where the effect of the toxin will increase over time.

Arbok does not have the skill to cause burns, and Zhou Feng's ordinary family background also limits his ability to obtain the fire orb.

Imagine if Zhou Feng was a core member of the school team, or an elite with a high reputation in the Pokémon world, the school might be generous and provide him with the resources he needs.

But the reality is that he is neither the captain nor the elite.

He was just an ordinary member of the team, a student whose achievements could not bring significant glory to the school.

Therefore, the school naturally would not invest in him.

As for the poisoning strategy, although skills such as Poison Needle and Poison Tail can theoretically trigger the poisoning state, the success rate is not 100%, which makes Zhou Feng dare not take risks easily.

What's more, these skills will not only cause poisoning, but also bring additional damage to Rada, which will undoubtedly weaken its combat effectiveness.

On the other hand, although Arbok's "Glaring Stare" skill can ensure the triggering of the Perseverance state, considering that this will increase the attack power while the paralysis effect will cause the speed to decrease, this trade-off does not seem to be cost-effective.

Considering this, poison is the best choice, but...

"If Lada is poisoned, he won't be able to hold out for long even if he is left alone."

Ruan Yaoyao thought so in her heart, and she was very decisive. She resolutely gave up the physical attack power increase that Scyther had obtained through sword dance, and instead issued new instructions.

"Spy Mantis, fly into the air, continuous vacuum waves. Heartscale, earthquake!"

"cut!"

The Scyther then spread its pair of wings as thin as a cicada's wings and slowly rose into the air.

This race is famous for its close combat, and few people pay attention to the almost forgotten pair of wings behind it, which look more like a decoration.

Although Scyther's flying ability is not outstanding compared to other Flying Pokémon, at this critical moment, it is enough to get off the ground and avoid the attack range of its teammates.

Just as Scyther took off into the air, Heart Scale raised one of its legs and stomped hard on the ground.

"boom--"

With a deafening roar, the entire battlefield shook.

The ground energy gushed out from under Xinlinbao's feet like a spring, forming a powerful shock wave that rushed straight towards the opponent.

Not to mention Rada, if this attack was taken head-on by Arbok, who is not good at defense, it would probably be skinned alive if it didn't die.

Moreover, as a poison-type Pokémon, Arbok is naturally restrained by ground-type skills.

In this situation, letting Arbok take on Heartscale's earthquake attack head-on would undoubtedly be courting death.

Zhou Feng's heart was filled with anxiety. He could feel his heart beating wildly in his chest, as if it might jump out of his throat at any time.

The nervous sweat slid down his forehead, flowed down his cheeks to his neck, bringing a hint of coolness. This coolness formed a sharp contrast with the heat in his heart.

Zhou Feng clenched his hands so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms, but his attention was completely focused on the battlefield, looking for a possible turning point.
