"Okay."
Xinyan waved behind him, and a Karate King-type Pokémon Trainer walked into the central court of the practice room.
He was one of the Fighting Dojo's coaches. He had not reached instructor level, but he was more than qualified to assess incoming students.
At the moment, a Hitmonchan stood beside the coach.
Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, Primeape, Machamp.
These were common Pokémon in Fighting-type Trainers' teams: not rare, but with excellent foundations and plenty of strength.
"Shen Qi, give it a try. We'll skip the selection and banning stages and go straight to the T Tournament's on-field rules."
They skipped BP. The practice room's court was relatively small, and it had a small Infinity Energy Bell.
It was essentially a simplified version of a T-tier Arena Tournament battle area.
The coach allowed Shen Qi to use one extra Pokémon, meaning Shen Qi could bring out two during the 1v1 stage;
once the Infinity Energy Bell rang and the coach could use two Pokémon, Shen Qi would be allowed three.
It was not that he looked down on the students. Of those who came to enroll normally, how many could defeat a coach just by using one extra Pokémon?
The applicants might not even have three Pokémon.
"Coach, I'm strong. Be careful."
"Come on."
Though he felt confident, Shen Qi knew he could not let his guard down.
The classic Fighting-type Pokémon on the other side all had high physical attack. His side not only lacked a physical wall, but was also weak to them across the board.
Lopunny, Dodo, Blissey.
Normal types were weak to Fighting types, especially Blissey. Her base physical defense was among the lowest in the world. Even though this particular Blissey was special, with her physical attack and defense boosted by mutation, she still did not qualify
