Ye Qing did not mind everyone leaving. If anything, he felt more at ease alone.
Oh, a prince, no less! Looks like his Pokémon won't be short on held items.
Machamp, Gallade, Heracross, Hitmonlee...
Looking at his opponent's main Pokémon, Ye Qing began considering whom to send out in the next round.
His opponent was clearly a Trainer who specialized in Fighting-type Pokémon. Gardevoir had a type advantage against Fighting types, so in principle, she would be the best choice.
However, his opponent had a Gallade, and his own Gardevoir had already been revealed. Unless his opponent was an idiot, he would definitely send out Gallade.
Everyone knew Gallade could learn Imprison as a Kirlia. If he sealed off all the moves they shared, wouldn't Ye Qing's Gardevoir be rendered useless?
If that Gallade also knew Skill Swap, then Huge Power would be useless too. He might as well surrender outright.
Looking at that Gallade, Ye Qing sank into thought.
What if this Gallade could Mega Evolve too?
Although the possibility was slim, it was not nonexistent. He had to prepare for the worst.
In that case, I might as well send out Infernape, Gengar, and Milotic.
That would give his side two Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution, fully ensuring he would not lose.
Besides, Gengar could slip into Gallade's shadow, or Mega Evolve and use Shadow Tag to restrict his Teleport. Then he could rely on Infernape and Milotic to deal damage.
Although this would expose a few more of his trump cards, there was no helping it.
As long as his most important trump card, Diancie, remained hidden, it would not be a problem. In fact, there was another benefit: everyone would think Mega Gengar was his trump card, which could also make certain people lower their guard
