A Counterattack Without Holding Back

Field combat.

Its primary purpose was to kill the trainer.

It was completely different from the usual match format, where Pokémon clashed while trainers calmly gave commands.

In the wild, trainers not only had to consider their Pokémon's battles but also guard against sudden attacks. They were destined to be unable to focus entirely on the fight, and only tacit coordination between Pokémon and trainer could make up for that shortcoming.

That was why many trainers from the Academy Faction could not adapt to such situations once they left.

Fortunately.

It was Gym Leader-level.

That person had so many Sub-Elite Four Pokémon that Xia Yan had feared an Elite Four-level Pokémon might suddenly appear. If
