Arcanine suddenly collapsed.
Mimikyu was likewise out of energy. Disguise's head drooped weakly, like a Pikachu with a crick in its neck.
Lin Qing fell silent for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, what Trainer had never lost?
After instinctively disregarding rule-breaking existences like Roy, she quickly adjusted her mindset and praised him. "Even your Fairy energy has reached the High-grade domain, and you hid it until the very end. Impressive. Your Mimikyu is practically..."
"—the Puppet Master Lurking in the Underworld." Roy froze. When Ninetales had been called the Ice Magician earlier, he had not thought much of it. But now Mimikyu had been given a nickname too.
Did Senior Lin Qing have a habit of giving Pokémon nicknames? So embarrassingly chuuni...
Electivire's Anti-Gravity Field
"Next up is my strongest Pokémon!"
Lin Qing gave him a reminder. She knew this was an assessment, so there was no need to obsess over winning or losing.
But a Trainer's instinct was to crave victory.
A Trainer without the desire to win might as well switch careers and become a Breeder.
After losing two consecutive rounds to Roy, Lin Qing's dignity as both a senior and an examiner had taken a hit. She decided that she absolutely had to win one back.
Before Roy could reveal his combat Pokémon, Lin Qing threw out a Poké Ball first and summoned her strongest ace.
What appeared was a powerfully built Blaziken.
The moment it appeared, it assumed a fighting stance and exuded a fierce aura.
Dragonite's battle style had yet to be completed, so its combat strength was not particularly high... Naturally, Roy sent out the last of his main combat Pokémon.
—Electivire. This golden gorilla that resembled a yeti instantly made every Trainer present widen their eyes and cry out in shock.
