"Feraligatr!"
However, being born into the league as a direct descendant, Yosuke had already learned the essence of League Trainer battles.
The output mainly relies on shouting, the status mainly on yelling.
But I must say, it does have some use.
Feraligatr shook its head, recovering from a dazed state.
Unfortunately.
Such a long recovery time was enough for Togetic to do many things.
The moment Feraligatr fell into a daze, Togetic seized the chance to execute a scheme, then drove its arms, and a long strand of Magic Leaf wrapped in magical energy hit Feraligatr with the swing of its arms.
The Grass-type Techniques imposed a restraining effect, dealing considerable damage.
At the same time, it triggered the Additional Effect of "Sharp Fang."
Just as Feraligatr struggled out of its daze, it fell into a state of "Wither."
And this time, Natsuhiko and Togetic did not give the opponent a chance, cleanly finishing off with two Magic Leaf shots, sending Feraligatr away and this somewhat stunned League boy Yosuke to the losers' bracket.
From start to finish, Feraligatr couldn't touch a single hair of Togetic.
This was a sheer crush in terms of hard strength.
Togetic's pure power was just stronger than the opponent's.
What's more, Togetic...
Is a master of control.
"The winner is contestant number six, Natsuhiko!" The referee raised the flag representing Natsuhiko and shouted, "Please get ready for the next group of contestants."
"Your Togetic is so cute."
As Natsuhiko walked off the field, the girl who earlier asked about the field number looked at Togetic held in Natsuhiko's arms with an excited expression.
"But I have to go up and compete first."
After saying that, she trotted onto the battlefield.
"Uh..." Watching her back, Natsuhiko rubbed his chin.
"The next match, contestant number two Oak Nanami versus contestant number twenty-one Matsui, will begin, please both parties...."
Upon hearing this, Natsuhiko's attention was no longer on the referee's words.
Oak... Nanami?
Is she Professor Oak's granddaughter, Oak Yukiaki's granddaughter?
For such a figure like Professor Oak, having a granddaughter so good-looking?
Who could have guessed.
However, speaking of Professor Oak's granddaughter, Natsuhiko had some impression.
He remembered, in the special Pokémon series, Professor Oak had a granddaughter named Oak Nanami, and a grandson named Blue, who was pulled down after being Champion for five minutes.
It's just unknown whether Professor Oak's grandson in this world is Blue or Gary Oak, or perhaps they can be regarded as the same person.
Upon recognizing the girl's identity, Natsuhiko's originally disinterested attitude towards the match gained a bit more attention.
Nanami sent out a Chansey.
Upon seeing this Chansey, Natsuhiko's first impression was... astonishment.
Because this Chansey was overly powerful, giving him the feeling of...
Elite Candidate Level!
Though it should be initial Elite Candidate Level.
But upon reaching this conclusion, Natsuhiko was almost left speechless.
It was truly a bit excessive.
In the youth competition, he originally thought Gym Leader Level was already top-notch, unexpected to find an Elite Candidate Level Pokémon, and it's in his group.
However, with continued observation, Natsuhiko gradually understood.
This Chansey, although well-trained, Nanami's actual combat command ability was lacking, and where her instructions seemed unreasonable, Chansey's sheer strength compensated, otherwise, it might have already lost.
Nanami's graceful posture in commanding the battle wasn't like participating in some Pokémon fight but rather like a Gorgeous Competition.
Moreover, the most crucial point is, this Chansey is not Nanami's Pokémon; despite Chansey doing its best to cooperate with Nanami, the unfamiliarity between them is still apparent.
Natsuhiko remembered, Professor Oak's granddaughter, Oak Nanami, is not a traditional Trainer, her ultimate achievement should have been winning the Gorgeous Competition, then leading a peaceful life.
One of her main Pokémon is a Clefairy, and this Chansey is probably one of Professor Oak's former Pokémon, to support his granddaughter, allowing Chansey to help care for some injured Pokémon.
So, this Chansey belongs to Professor Oak, resulting in the sense of unfamiliarity Natsuhiko felt.
But this... is kind of like having a cheat?
Among those present, there should be quite a few descendants like Elite Trainers or Gym Leaders, if they all brought a Pokémon given by an elder like Nanami, Natsuhiko felt he might as well retir early.
But clearly, Nanami came from the preliminaries, and all along, no intervention from the tournament organizers, could only say... it's because even with Nanami commanding this Chansey, her performance didn't actually prove overly strong, not affecting the overall competition much.
Otherwise, she would have been warned by the organizers first thing.
It's just unfortunate for Nanami's opponent at this time.
Judged purely by battle command and combat ability, he is more advantageous than Nanami, and the cooperation with his Pokémon is superior, yet the other party has a cheat, Chansey's strength already constitutes a crushing force, no matter how many advantages over Nanami he has, he can't bridge the hard strength gap.
The final result was evident.
Nanami succeeded in winning.
Seeing Nanami walk out of the battle arena, wiping the fine sweat on her forehead, exhaling with a relieved expression, Natsuhiko was also a bit speechless.
