Natsuhiko glanced at him, "Fight well."
Lance pressed his lips together, "In that case, Aerodactyl, Dragon Claw."
"Roar!!"
Aerodactyl flapped its wings, landing not far from Chansey, its sharp claws enveloped in dense purple Dragon Energy, swinging repeatedly at the shrunken Chansey.
Although it couldn't hit, as Lance said, it was only a matter of time before it would.
If Chansey couldn't provide an effective counterattack, the eventual outcome would be a draw.
But at this moment, Natsuhiko finally stopped the command for Chansey to continue minimizing.
It had reached the limit; continuing to use it wouldn't change Chansey's form anymore.
Natsuhiko's lips slowly curled into a smile.
Next, it's time to witness a miracle.
The onlookers remained silent, but seeing Natsuhiko's smile, they knew the main event was coming.
Hilona's eyes shimmered, eager to see what Natsuhiko's strategy was.
Flint crossed his arms, watching Lance's Aerodactyl with interest, the stone...
Kona adjusted her glasses with one hand, unwilling to miss any detail, she wanted to see how Natsuhiko's "tactics" in the game would perform in real combat.
Xiaochun puffed her cheeks, clenching her pink fists, silently cheering for Lance.
Nanami murmured, "Substitute, Egg, Minimize... has Chansey mastered the Minimize technique?"
Seeing Natsuhiko's smile, Lance felt a twinge in his heart.
Wanting to have Aerodactyl take some distance, but it was already too late.
"Chansey, Earthbound."
Here it comes!
The shrunken Chansey's only change was its size, its other abilities remained intact.
Seizing the gap in Aerodactyl's Dragon Claw assault, Chansey suddenly grabbed Aerodactyl's tail.
Boom!!!
A textbook shoulder throw, Aerodactyl drew a beautiful arc in the air and slammed heavily onto the ground, suffering significant damage.
Earthbound is a technique based on the Pokémon's level and strength, with Chansey at Elite Candidate Level strength, the Earthbound technique in its hands is quite powerful.
However, this Aerodactyl was indeed Lance's Pokémon, quickly responding after being hit by an Earthbound, it flapped its wings to distance itself from Chansey.
Gazing back with some fear.
That move just now, hurt a lot.
"Using the Earthbound technique based on Pokémon level to compensate for Chansey's lack of attack power?" Kona said thoughtfully.
Everyone present was a top young Trainer from various regions, naturally familiar with these techniques.
"But if Cousin's Aerodactyl stays in the air and doesn't land, no matter how strong Chansey is, it can't fly up." Xiaochun considered the problem from Lance's perspective.
And Lance was doing exactly that.
Not coming down.
Absolutely not coming down!
"In that case, what will you do, Natsuhiko?" Lance asked with some curiosity.
Only to see Natsuhiko show a teasing smile, glance at Lance, then slowly say, "Chansey, Rockslide."
"What?!"
"Damn!"
"Rockslide?!"
"..."
A Chansey learning Rockslide?
That truly exceeded everyone's expectations.
Someone actually taught Chansey Rockslide?
However, the most important thing is...
"This Chansey's trait is Celestial Grace," Natsuhiko explained proactively.
"Celestial Grace..."
Substitute + Egg + Minimize + Earthbound + Rockslide...
Just thinking about such a combination of techniques sent chills down their spines.
The feeling of hair standing on end spread from their tailbone to the whole body, their hairs standing up.
Rockslide itself has a decent chance of causing the opponent Pokémon to enter a "Wither" state, plus the Celestial Grace trait doubles the likelihood of additional effects occurring.
Once in a "Wither" state, use the Earthbound technique to deal damage.
The most important thing is, having reached the smallest size, it's very difficult for opponents to hit Chansey.
Even if hit, with Chansey's stamina, one or two hits aren't enough to cause fatal damage.
Even with such attacks, Chansey can rely on Substitute for defense.
And as long as it doesn't get taken out in one blow, Chansey can restore itself to peak condition with the Egg technique.
With this combination, it's...
"Disgusting! Natsuhiko, you're too disgusting!"
Lance shivered, conceding directly.
After watching the whole process, Nanami blankly held onto Hilona's hand, muttering, "Hilona, what should I do? I feel unclean now..."
But her eyes were unusually bright, as if she had found her way.
Kona said pointedly, "This isn't even the 'dirtiest' tactic in Senior Natsuhiko's strategy library that I've seen."
At their strange looks, Kona nodded solemnly, indicating she wasn't exaggerating.
Hilona similarly watched as Natsuhiko prepared to retrieve his Chansey from the field.
"I didn't expect you to be like this, Natsuhiko..."
At that moment, they all agreed on a plan: have the League set a rule with the content:
No Trainers named "Natsuhiko" are allowed to interact with Pokémon like Chansey.
Strictly forbidden!
