The "Song of Destruction" tactic is indeed widely rampant in the game, and even from its development to now, it has remained popular. However, there are always ways to counter it in the game, and in this real world, there are even more opportunities.
After all, this isn't a game. Poor technique linkage, unreasonable rhythm, unfamiliar moves, and so on will all become disadvantages.
Therefore, while this tactic may be popular, not many people can truly use it well.
"So why didn't cousin let Dragonite use 'Dragon Tail'?" Xiaochun, who is now more nervous than anyone else, couldn't help but ask.
"Him?" Natsuhiko glanced at Xiaochun, chuckled lightly, revealing a slightly complicated smile.
"Don't you understand yet? On the surface, he seems carefree and strong-willed, but in reality, he has a gentle heart, and he's thinking of ways to let Kona vent."
Lance: ???
Xiaochun was silent.
She suddenly felt like she had quite a few competitors.
Is Lance really doing what Natsuhiko said to let Kona vent?
More or less.
But doesn't he care about winning or losing?
That's not the case.
Don't forget, even if Dragonite gets swapped out one-for-one, they still have more Pokémon - Charizard and Cloyster!
Lance's Charizard is definitely in better shape than Kona's Cloyster.
Charizard is Lance's Initial Pokémon, so he understands its strength best and has absolute confidence in defeating Kona's Cloyster.
Last time, there was no choice. Dragonite hadn't evolved yet, and Charizard going up against Kona's peak Water Type plus Ice-type Pokémon could easily lose if not careful, resulting in an overly harsh attack.
Moreover, they didn't know each other last time.
But this time, he's learned from his mistakes, and Cloyster isn't in such good condition, so Charizard's winning chance is over ninety percent.
People, after all, need to grow.
So to speak.
Lance is playing at a higher level.
He has already figured out that given Kona's ability and potential, she will definitely work with him in the future.
In the future, when you can't avoid seeing each other often, shouldn't you build a good relationship?
Just in case.
What if Kona ends up making trouble at the most critical moment, wouldn't that ruin everything?
He indeed has foresight.
But.
Will Kona really appreciate it?
Maybe she will now.
But if she later finds out that Lance deliberately went easy, given Kona's personality... tsk tsk.
It's hard to say.
The final result didn't exceed anyone's expectations, with Lance achieving the final victory.
Kona also managed to vent her frustration and doesn't hold as much of a grudge against Lance now, even standing in place to watch him receive the crowd's cheers.
Everyone is happy.
But as the two were preparing to leave the scene, the host called out to Kona.
"Contestant Kona, although I regret your loss in the match, the two of you have presented us with a spectacular match. On behalf of all the audience, I thank you," the host said, quite skillfully.
Kona was also captured by the camera and presented on the big screen.
"Thank you." Kona wasn't the least bit reserved facing such a scene.
"The reason for calling you now is mainly due to the audience's request; they are eager to know more about the tactics used by your Lapras."
This is a typical post-match analysis segment.
However, usually, the winners are interviewed, and interviewing a eliminated contestant is quite rare.
Speaking of the tactics used by Lapras, the thought of successfully swapping out Dragonite brought a slight smile to Kona's face.
"That tactic, ah, we call it the 'Song of Destruction Tactic'."
"We?" The host keenly caught the key point.
"This is a tactic taught to me by a senior, which has benefited me greatly." Kona did not directly "give out" Natsuhiko.
"Then your senior must be an amazing person," the host remarked.
Kona nodded, "Yes, this senior of mine is very knowledgeable, and his understanding of Pokémon far exceeds mine. In my heart, he is a 'Tactical Master'."
Tactical Master!
That is truly a high praise.
The host tentatively asked, "Would it be convenient for you to reveal this senior of yours? I believe everyone would love to learn some tactics from this 'Tactical Master.'"
He had to ask because the online broadcast of this match was flooded with comments inquiring about the 'Song of Destruction' tactics.
The server was about to crash.
Stopping Kona was an order from above.
Kona hesitated.
Natsuhiko didn't explicitly tell Kona not to mention it, but without his permission, she wasn't sure if she should reveal it.
In the waiting room, Natsuhiko had already stood up.
He believed Kona wouldn't mention it, and so he began to make some preparations.
"He is one of the contestants in this competition too."
The voice came not from Kona, but from Lance who was waiting beside her.
The camera shifted to Lance.
Lance did not disagree with his statement, even giving a gesture to the camera that only Natsuhiko could understand, flicking his cape.
No need to thank me, brother.
Natsuhiko's expression couldn't hold back anymore.
He felt as if he had been gently "stabbed" in the back.
Behind him, Flint and Hilona both had smiles on their faces.
Gold cannot be concealed.
The host quickly sifted through his mind, struggling to recall, until he received words from backstage in his earpiece.
"Natsuhiko."
The host's eyes lit up, "So it's contestant Natsuhiko, who is set to appear next?"
All from the Kanto Region, slightly older than Kona, with such tactical strength unlikely to be weak, among the remaining contestants, only Natsuhiko fits the criteria.
Upon being deduced, Kona no longer hesitated and nodded.
"Yes."
Tactical Master Natsuhiko, going online!
