Chapter 624: The Commoner's Counterattack
In stark contrast to the worries in the Kubfu rest area, the players in the Hoenn rest area all widened their eyes, very unconvinced.
"Heh! Showing off Mega Evolution in front of the Grand Master Team? She's going to lose badly."
"Trying to teach your grandmother to suck eggs!"
"Still far from it!"
Each region has its own characteristics, and Mega Evolution has always been Hoenn's specialty and pride.
They have absolute confidence in this field!
On the field, the Grand Master main player also curled his lips slightly.
"Interesting."
But he wasn't panicked at all.
He had seen plenty of Mega Power as a veteran of Hoenn.
Then he assigned an item to his Malamar.
The commentator was surprised again.
"Wow! The Grand Master player is very confident! The item is an Iron Ball! Presumably for Fling or Switcheroo."
Item: Iron Ball. A special ball with extremely high density, which solidifies part of the Gravity effect.
When held, the Pokémon cannot fly/levitate, and its speed is also affected.
It's an item with almost no positive effects.
Common uses include swapping it onto the opponent via Switcheroo or using it as ammunition for Fling.
This thing was originally developed as an exclusive item for Fling. Using an Iron Ball to cast Fling results in power exceeding an ultimate move!
"He didn't bring any boosting items, but brought an Iron Ball instead. He's very confident in his command and timing."
In the rest area, players from various alliances were surprisingly unanimous in their views.
"It would have been safer to bring a Coba Berry to weaken Flying-type moves, but he brought an Iron Ball. The Grand Master main player really trusts his operation."
Is it overconfidence, or does he really have something to rely on?
The answer would soon be revealed!
Match start!
"Beedrill, evolve!"
Luna's first command was naturally Mega Evolution, no suspense.
"Malamar, slide to the shore first."
The opponent just ordered Malamar to paddle the floating board to the shore, not rushing to attack.
Switcheroo has a limited casting range. At the start, Malamar couldn't reach Beedrill, so he couldn't directly swap the Iron Ball onto it.
But this would always be a deterrent!
Once Beedrill got close and gave Malamar a chance, whether Fling hit or Switcheroo succeeded, it would make Beedrill's life miserable.
Mega Beedrill is an assassin-type Pokémon specialized in extreme speed and high attack, even more fragile than Alakazam. Speed is their most important lifeline!
Once forced to hold an Iron Ball, landing on the ground meant being pummeled by Malamar, potentially leading to an instant explosion if unlucky.
The opponent gave up the safer Coba Berry and chose such a high-risk, high-reward playstyle that relied heavily on operation.
Both sides were now guarding against each other, competing in reaction speed.
"Beedrill, Double Team, then scatter and attack!"
Luna read the situation clearly.
Commentators everywhere affirmed this.
"The Kubfu player's move is very smart! Double Team confuses the vision, preventing the opponent from easily locking onto her real body! This makes Switcheroo hard to execute accurately! Next is a duel of reaction and speed!"
Fortunately, Luna's Beedrill was quite proficient in Double Team. At this moment, it split into eight clones, totaling nine wasps including the main body, scattering and attacking the stationary Malamar from all directions.
Malamar wasn't in a hurry to move.
Now that the Iron Ball hadn't been switched or flung, he had to bear its negative effects himself. So, under the pressure of the gravity field, his already slow movement speed became even slower.
"Malamar, wave your tentacles to clear the clones first, no rush!"
But the Grand Master main player was in no hurry.
The opponent was an assassin, so his Malamar was a heavy warrior.
He only needed to wait for one opportunity.
Just one opportunity was enough!
Just one opportunity to swap the Iron Ball over, then grab the opponent the moment Beedrill hits the ground, and take it out in one combo!
The script was written.
Just waiting for him to find Beedrill's true body and use Switcheroo!
But then—
"Number 1 pull up, Number 2 dive, Number 7 flutter, the rest attack together! Retreat after completion, all use Pin Missile together! Then Number 4 sacrifice, Number 3, 4, 7 circle and harass!"
He never expected that Luna had numbered all her Beedrill clones without him knowing.
She was commanding all nine flying units at once!
What astonishing operation and reaction speed is this?!
The live commentators were stunned!
"This! Beedrill's clones aren't acting freely! Someone actually refined the command to each clone! My god! Are all Kubfu players monsters this year? How did she train this?"
How to train?
By piling up time!
It's no exaggeration to say that besides Arthur, the most diligent professional player in Kubfu this year was Luna!
She was completely brainwashed... cough, influenced by Arthur.
Trust, training, dedication!
Her Beedrill didn't have particularly outstanding talent; all it had was a bond of 100% telepathic connection and absolute trust, and a fighting spirit that never complained.
This kind of clone training wasn't technically high-level.
It tested hard work.
Many players were unwilling to practice.
Because this thing required not only the Pokémon to be diligent but also the trainer to be diligent with them. This refined command required synchronization from both sides.
This was too difficult for many star players who were already successful and lived comfortably.
They would rather spend more money to buy better Pokémon and hire better instructors.
But influenced by Arthur, Luna resolutely embarked on this path of struggle for the commoner!
And today, the commoner was going to counterattack the old "nobility"!
"My god! Oh my god!! The operation of these clones is too precise and exquisite! The Kubfu player's micromanagement is simply breathtaking!! So far, Malamar has only destroyed three clones! Finding the main body is still far away!!
"Oh! We see the Grand Master player is anxious! He made a move! Dark Pulse!!
"The ring-shaped shockwave shattered most of the clones!!
"But Malamar also entered cooldown because of this!
"He didn't have time to use Switcheroo!
"Beedrill retreated after a sting!
"Then another Double Team!
"In this way, the Grand Master player's efforts became meaningless. His Switcheroo and Fling still couldn't be used!!
"Instead, this is the third time Beedrill has used Pin Missile!!
"The young beauty from Kubfu is steadily approaching victory step by step!"
