After discussing it, Chu Xin and Bai Le ultimately decided to use Plan Two against Mega Scizor-in other words, to defeat Mega Scizor by flooding the area.
Once they had settled on their tactic, they carefully examined the scene around the Secret Realm's cave using Luo Luo's 3D Projection. After briefly working out their tactical positions, they began to rest.
Ai Xing and Tao Lu watched everything from the Surveillance Room.
As Bai Le's master, Tao Lu wore a faint, gratified smile after seeing her disciple's performance.
Failure was never something to fear. What was truly frightening was lacking the courage to take on a challenge.
Tao Lu knew exactly how powerful her main Pokémon, Mega Scizor, was. To be precise, no matter what tactics Chu Xin and Bai Le used, they had no chance of winning against Mega Scizor.
But if Chu Xin and Bai Le feared the Trial for that reason and chose to run away, then Tao Lu's Trial would have been a failure.
Tao Lu had set up this Trial to temper Bai Le's willpower. She knew her disciple's talent very well. Given enough time to grow, Bai Le's achievements would rival her own. In a sense, he was a genius destined to become an Elite Four member.
Yet geniuses were hardly rare in this world. As a Titled Elite Four member, Tao Lu had seen far too many of them, but very few of those gifted Trainers had ever reached her level.
Was it because they lacked talent?
This world had never lacked exceptionally talented Trainers. Tao Lu understood her own talent well. She had met many geniuses more gifted than herself, yet not one of them had reached her level.
Along the way, Tao Lu had come to some conclusions about her own growth.
