"The 'Qualities' course has begun!"
"A poet? Holy crap! What kind of person could come up with such a monstrous—no, I mean such a 'wise' tactic!"
"I've learned it, now I'm going to challenge the gym—I'm back, the gym leader's massage technique is very professional, my Pokémon is now peaceful."
"Dirty! So dirty! But why do I kind of want to try it—"
"Crimson: I often feel out of place with you because I lack manners."
"I've reported it! The streamer is setting a bad example for kids! (Then silently takes notes)"
"My blood pressure is already rising! I'm already feeling the torment even before the injection has started!"
The barrage of "condemnation" and "malice" directed at Bai Zhou came crashing down on him, but it didn't bother him at all; instead, it made him laugh even more.
Just kidding, since he dared to pull out this lineup, he was already prepared to be "scorned" by the masses!
This is exactly the effect I wanted!
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic."
Bai Zhou shifted his focus back to the card battle. "Logically speaking, our safest option here is to use 'Substitute' directly, to establish a safeguard and avoid being instantly killed next turn or facing the threat of electromagnetic waves again. However, one..."
He then changed the subject, pointing to the newly appeared "Aura Sash" marker next to the Gengar card on the table.
"Because our 'trick' unexpectedly swapped with the opponent's 'Aura Sash,' which usually blocks one fatal attack when at full health, we now have an extra margin for error, so why not take a little risk!"
A gambler's glint flashed in his eyes, and his tone was full of determination.
"I bet Red won't stubbornly let Pikachu use 'Thunder Wave' again! Instead, he'll directly replace it with another Pokémon to regroup!"
"So, we're directly using 'highly poisonous'!"
He drew the move card that emitted an ominous purple light.
"No matter which Pokémon he switches to, unless it's a Steel or Poison type immune to poison, it'll have to take my Toxic greeting right away! Applying poison beforehand lays the foundation for our subsequent attrition strategy!"
"My turn is over!"
"???"
"Wow! Are we going to go all out? Reading Crimson Legends right away? I think we shouldn't gamble. It seems like a Stand is the best option right now."
"So that's what they were waiting for! Some people are still questioning it, but others have already taken notes word for word. It's rare to see a powerful trainer publicly teaching their tactical strategies!"
"If you read that right, I'll eat it! If it were me, I'd definitely use Thunder Wave again! I already suffered a loss last round, and now if I switch out my backup Pokémon, wouldn't I be completely at a disadvantage?"
"The betting has started! Will Bai Zhou succeed or fail first?!"
"I think Red will make a change; Pikachu is too passive with its moves locked."
"No, I believe in Boss Crimson's courage! He's absolutely resolute!"
The online comments section was buzzing with heated debate.
On Crimson's side, Little Yellow looked at him with a hint of worry, while Green stood to the side with its arms crossed, looking disdainful.
Only Xiao Lan chattered excitedly in his ear, coming up with all sorts of wildly imaginative, but mostly unreliable, bad ideas.
However, Crimson completely ignored all of this.
His mind was racing, analyzing the situation on the field.
White's Gengar used Trick in the first round to trade items.
This is most likely a disruption-oriented configuration, possibly with only one attack move, or even none at all, focusing on control and attrition.
To deal with this situation, I specifically had the Mosquito Coil Swimmer carry the "Provocation" move, just in case this happens!
Therefore, the best solution now is to switch to Poliwag Swim Soda and use "Taunt" to completely block White Boat's Gengar's variant moves!
This will prevent him from using skills like "Substitute", "Protect", or "Poison"!
Once his thoughts were clear, his crimson eyes sharpened, and he no longer hesitated.
I promptly put the Pikachu card back into my hand, and then placed the Poliwag Swimmer card onto the field.
Both sides proceeded to settle the second round of card flipping together.
Round two.
Mosquito Coil Swimmer replaces Pikachu in the match.
Gengar uses "Toxic".
The mosquito coil swimmer is in a "highly toxic state".
Mosquito Coil Swimmer is unable to act this round due to being substituted in.
"Highly Toxic Status" is in effect, and the Mosquito Coil Swimmer loses a small amount of stamina.
The round is over.
Before Bai could say anything, the comments section exploded!
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Salty Teacher actually read it correctly first! Red Legend is really replacing the next Pokémon!"
"I hereby announce! Salty Fish Teacher has officially joined the Legendary Battle Family! Who agrees? Who objects? Huh? You object? Anyone who objects, drag them out and let Mother Monster give you a massage!"
"Is Poliwag the second Pokémon in Red Legends? Looks like a true fan! All of them are Pokémon from his real-life team, so who will he choose for his last one?"
"Read Crimson Legend first! I feel like Mr. Salty Fish's lips are practically curled up to the sky right now, damn it! Don't let him get too cocky!"
"Do you even understand the value of reading Red Legends? Red is currently recognized as the strongest trainer! Even in card battles, he's awesome!"
"Go for it, big brother in the red and white baseball cap!"
"The Mosquito Coil Swimmer competition is over!"
Bai Zhou looked at the settlement results and then glanced at the exploding barrage of comments.
His lips curled up uncontrollably, and he immediately threw out some harsh words.
"Even if the last one is Firebird, I don't think he can win, hahaha—"
He coughed twice, slightly toning down his "arrogant" demeanor, but the smile in his eyes grew even stronger.
"Well, although we have the advantage, the opponent is, after all, a Crimson Legend. We shouldn't be greedy; we need to prepare for the worst. So, let's try to read his moves first!"
He pointed to the mosquito coil swimmer on the field who had just been given a high dose of poison, his tone resolute.
"I predict he'll most likely use 'Taunt' next turn to block our variation moves! So, we'll switch to Chansey immediately!"
"Chankey has excellent defenses when holding an Evolution Stone, and it also carries Seismic Toss for consistent damage. Even if it gets Taunted, it's not a big deal; it can tank the hits and trade blows! It's a win-win situation."
"Furthermore, we can also take advantage of the situation and switch from the 'defend the poison' tactic to another tactic—"
"They actually installed it for him!"
"Teacher Salty Fish is suspected of being mentally ill. I could forgive him for reading the Chinese version first because he was particular about his scarf, and that was somewhat superficial. Now he actually dares to try reading the Crimson Legends rotation first? If he tries to provoke me again by reading the Chinese version first, I'll take him straight to the public toilet buffet!"
"Ugh! Someone's trying to freeload off me. I've taken a screenshot!"
"Don't be afraid! Mr. Saltfish, listen to me! Just use Protect! Each Pokémon card can only have four move cards, I don't believe Red's Poliwag would have such an uncommon move as Taunt!"
"I have a feeling it's not that simple. Boss Crimson is about to unleash a powerful move—I'm on the fifth floor right now."
Amidst a barrage of comments and questions, the third round of the match concluded with both sides revealing their cards.
Round three.
Chansey replaces Gengar in the field.
"Highly Toxic Status" is in effect, and the Mosquito Coil Swimmer loses a small amount of stamina.
The mosquito coil swimmer used "provocation".
Chansey enters "Provocation Mode" |
While in "Taunt" state, Chansey can only use direct damage moves for three turns.
The round is over.
Bai Zhou looked at the settlement results, secretly wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, calmed himself down, and said:
"See, I told you so. This is Crimson. You can never underestimate him. You must always be fully prepared and have a worst-case scenario in mind."
The live chat was flooded with "?!" comments again!
"No way! It really got right again! I'm not saying that Teacher Salty Fish is too bad, but did Crimson Legend really hold back?"
"You saw right through me?"
"I've been reborn, reborn before the battles against the Red Legend Pokémon cards. This time, I'm going to reclaim what's mine—"
cut!"
"I don't think Crimson is as strong as everyone thinks. Aren't you all over-glorifying him? I feel his level is just like that."
"What about that guy who freeloaded? Remember to do a live stream, I'll definitely be there to support him!"
"It's not that Teacher Salty is too strong, but that Crimson Legend is too weak. I've always heard people say how strong Crimson Legend is, but after seeing it today, it's just so-so."
"Red Legend is weak? Laughable. It's just a card battle in an exhibition match, and you're giving it a rating? Oh, right, in reality, you probably wouldn't even be able to make a move against Red Legend. After all, if he does, you'd be begging on your knees not to die."
Compared to the lively atmosphere of the bullet comments gradually going astray, Bai Zhou was much more serious.
Don't be fooled by how relaxed and casual he seemed when he read it; he was actually gambling on it more than anything.
It was just good luck that the bet came true.
Crimson red—we must not be careless in the slightest.
Bai Zhou became serious and reduced his interaction with the bullet comments.
In response to Crimson's pure and fervent fighting spirit, he focused more on the card battle in front of him.
In the following rounds, the two sides traded blows at a rapid pace, and the tactical maneuvering was dazzling!
Round four.
No one expected that the mosquito coil swimmer would also have a "slap" technique!
"Knock Off" hits! While dealing damage, Chansey's "Evolution Stone" is knocked off, losing its effect!
Even more outrageous, Chansey's "Earth Throw" on Mosquito Swimmer triggered Mosquito Swimmer's "Red Card" item effect, forcibly disqualifying him from the game.
Arcanine takes over.
The round is over.
The situation was instantly reversed!
The comments that had previously questioned Crimson Legends' strength vanished instantly, replaced by a screen full of question marks and exclamation marks.
They said they never expected this "slam slam + red card" combo!
Even Bai Zhou couldn't help but gasp.
"Slammed down" plus "red card"?
Is there anyone kind enough to bring these things to the mosquito coil swimmer?
This configuration is just too weird!
If he hadn't believed in Crimson's pure attitude towards battle, he would have even suspected that this guy was unethical and had peeked at his deck configuration.
Then target him specifically!
In the following rounds, the game became even more intense.
Mosquito Swimmer used "Slap" again, and the "Pomelo Fruit" carried by Arcanine was slapped away.
Arcanine roared back, forcing Poliwag out of the field and replacing it with Pikachu.
Pikachu locked onto a move using "Thunderbolt" due to its "Clothes of Wit".
Chansey replaced Arcanine and bravely withstood the "Thunderbolt" attack.
Then, Chansey used a series of tactics: "shrinking", "laying eggs", and "spherical dropping"!
"Shrink" increases evasion rate! "Lay Eggs" restores health! "Shuffle" deals consistent damage!
Pikachu's subsequent attacks failed to hit again due to Chansey's extremely high evasion rate!
In the end, Pikachu was defeated by Chansey without any suspense!
At this moment, Chansey's evasion rate has been stacked to an astonishing +4!
This scene prompted viewers in the live chat to call it "disgusting" and "a dirty trick."
I never imagined that those gentle angels I saw at the Pokémon Center would be like this in card battles!
"This Chansey is so cheating!"
"About My Pink Healing Angel Suddenly Turning into an Evasion-Based Demon"
"Oh no, I think Salty Fish Teacher is going to win!"
"A dog that dodges won't get a house!"
"Calculate the area of Pikachu's psychological trauma—"
"Chicken Egg: I wanted to touch the world with my healing heart, until I encountered dirty tricks—"
Is this the legendary Pink Devil? I love it!
"Teacher Bai, you're truly amazing! (Thumbs up)"
The game continues, and the atmosphere is extremely tense.
The mosquito coil swimmers are back on the field.
Surprisingly, Red didn't choose to use "Taunt" to continue blocking Chansey's variant moves, but instead chose to go all out!
He had the already physically weak Mosquito Coil Swimmer use "Abdomen Drum |", sacrificing a lot of stamina to directly max out the attack power bonus to +6!
Then, without hesitation, they used the "relay" method!
He transferred this attack boost, which contained the last of Poliwag's power, to his last Pokémon, Charizard!
Bai Zhou seized this fleeting opportunity.
He could have simply had Chansey use Seismic Toss to defeat Poliwag and disrupt Red's tactical plan.
But he is even more convinced that his Chansey has already "mastered its magic"!
The choice was made to let Chansey use "Shrink" and "Lay Egg" for the last time.
At this point, the Chansey tactic was fully formed!
Physically healthy, with maximum evasion rate!
In Bai Zhou's view, this was practically a declaration that the battle was over!
The dazzling game between the two sides was so exciting that it sent adrenaline soaring and hearts pounding.
The barrage of comments has gone from being a frenzy at the beginning to being almost nonexistent now.
It wasn't that no one was watching; rather, everyone was holding their breath, realizing that the outcome was about to be decided at this moment!
They stared intently at the live stream, not daring to miss a single detail.
"Go, Breathtaking Dragon!"
Crimson couldn't help but shout out in a burst of excitement.
As if in response to his call, a Poké Ball on his green waist suddenly popped open automatically, and a red light flashed.
A powerful Charizard appeared beside him, roaring to the sky as if in perfect harmony with Crimson Heart!
"roar!!!"
"That idiot—"
Qinglu watched this scene, silently shaking her head, but a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
There may be safer, more optimized options, but—
This is crimson.
