"Go fight, what? Are you interested?" Su Yi asked with a glance.
"Is the battle fun?" The little guy tilted his head.
Su Yi thought for a moment and said, "It depends on what kind of battle it is and which side it is for."
"The next gym battle is between Marie from the Galar region and Chisato, the Orange Gym Leader. The rules are as follows," Kenji, the gym apprentice and referee, read out the rules expertly.
"Is it the little girl from last time? And this Mr. Su Yi." Qianli recognized Mary and Su Yi because he was deeply impressed by them.
Although it was Su Yi's first time to challenge a gym, he not only saw through his tactics completely, but also won the game with an overwhelming battle. This made him think that Marie, who was also from Galar, should not be underestimated, so he subconsciously became completely serious.
It's a bit embarrassing to say this, because a gym leader's job is not to beat up the challenger, but to use appropriate strength to help the challenger improve. After he ended the battle like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, when he saw the confused expression of the little girl, he realized that he had gone too far.
"There's no point in talking any more!" Mary held the Poké Ball coolly.
"Very impressive!" Qianli nodded with a smile. Let me see your progress now!
"The battle begins!"
As the referee gave the order to start, both teams sent out their Pokémon.
"Still a lazy old man. It seems Qianli doesn't plan to change his style." Su Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
The fighting style is what makes a gym unique. You can't just change to another style after finding flaws in it.
There are only three Pokémon, how many styles can you have? It's better to improve one style and stick to it.
On the other hand, being able to research flaws and take appropriate countermeasures is a manifestation of a trainer's strength.
Back to the topic, Mary sent out the poisonous frog.
"Doku!" An expression of fighting spirit appeared on the villain's face of the Poison Skull Frog.
When it was still the Bad Frog, it was beaten up by Qianli once. This time, it was fully prepared both in terms of physical training and tactical formulation, and it was determined to take revenge!
"Come on!" Qianli folded his arms across his chest, fearless.
Mary didn't waste any words and immediately ordered: "Sword Dance!"
The poisonous skull frog immediately moved skillfully. Qianli nodded. He did not attack rashly like last time, but chose to strengthen first? There is progress.
"Mm~" The lazy old man staggered and waited for the poisonous frog to fall into the trap.
Unexpectedly, Mary ignored it and let the Poison Frog dance with its sword again. This was Su Yi's first strategy. The lazy old man liked to wait for the opponent to attack before dodging and counterattacking. Isn't this a free opportunity to strengthen himself?
"Sword Dance!"
Seeing that Mary still wanted to strengthen herself, Qianli could no longer sit still. How could this be possible? She was so greedy at the beginning!
"Sloth, Shadow Ball!"
"Absorbing Fist!" Mary shouted before Qianli finished speaking. The Poison Skull Frog, who had been prepared, immediately stopped the sword dance that was used as a cover and rushed towards the Lazy Man.
This is the second strategy. Who can just watch the opponent become madly strengthened? Qianli will definitely take the initiative to attack, and this is the time to counterattack!
"Doku!" The poisonous skull frog yelled and swung a punch viciously, hitting the lazy old man.
Two sword dance enhancements, plus attribute restraint, and the full-strength burst of the Poison Skull Frog with a bit of personal grudge, the stamina of the Lazy Man was simply not enough, and he was killed instantly.
"The lazy old man has lost his ability to fight!"
Qianli's eyes became serious. It could be seen that the other party came prepared!

Chapter 367 Qianli: Who taught you? You don’t follow martial ethics!
"Go ahead! Hyperactive monkey!" Qianli comforted the lazy old man who had made no progress and sent out the hyperactive monkey.
Knowing that the Over-animal Monkey could not defeat the Poison Frog after two Sword Dances, Qianli planned to use some strategies, but Mary immediately dismissed his idea.
"Provocation!" Mary commanded succinctly.
"Doku~" The poisonous skull frog hooked its finger provocatively at the hyperactive ape, and it was obvious that this move was absolutely full of real emotion.
Now the changing moves cannot be used for a period of time. This is the third strategy, which is to never let the opponent use changing moves.
The gym leader cannot actively change Pokémon, so Qianli can only fight hard at this time.
"Yan Fan!" Qianli rarely made the choice of letting the hyperactive ape use jets of fire and blizzard, which was difficult to describe from a combat perspective. Instead, he chose attribute restraint normally.
"Absorbing punch!" This is exactly the effect Mary wants, come on!
"Doku!" The poisonous skull frog dodged flexibly and threw a punch, but the hyperactive monkey was not to be outdone. Its sharp claws drew an arc, caught up with the poisonous skull frog and hit it.
"Doku Doku.!"
"Ah, ah, ah!"
The two Pokémon attacked each other fiercely with punches and claws.
But in general, the Poison Frog has a greater advantage, and its punch absorption and blood-sucking effects allow it to suppress the Hyperactive Ape more fiercely, as if it doesn't care about its life.
Looking at the staggering hyperactive ape, Qianli frowned: Why would a little girl choose such a ferocious way of fighting?
In the end, the hyperactive ape was brutally defeated by the poisonous frog by exchanging injuries for injuries. This is the fourth strategy. After the provocation, you have to take advantage of the situation and attack fiercely to avoid any more trouble.
Seeing the Poison Skull Frog, who was still full of fighting spirit despite being seriously injured, Qianli praised: "You have a strong ability to seize opportunities and a high level of combat quality!"
"You and Pokémon are growing very fast, I have to be serious! Go all out! King of Leave!" Qianli smiled slightly, then shouted and threw the Poké Ball.
Boom!
The giant ape landed on the ground, pounding his chest and roaring, "King!"
Mary's expression became extremely serious. This was the last Pokémon. Facing the King of Leave, Su Yi gave two plans, one of which was the most stable, while the other might have some variables.
It depends on which move the King of Leave will make first.
"Provoke!" Mary immediately let Toxic Skull Frog use Provoke first. The biggest variable in a battle is the change of moves. Roaring to force a substitution can make the previous enhancement fall short, and yawning can instantly reverse the advantage.
"Still so cautious." Qianli sighed.
"King of Leave, ultimate attack!" Qianli naturally chose to attack by force.
The characteristic of the King of Leave prevents him from making consecutive attacks, so he will use moves that will cause stiffness, allowing the stiffness and the pause caused by the characteristic to overlap, achieving a "1+1=1" effect, causing maximum damage with limited output opportunities.
The King of Leave was wrapped in tremendous energy and rushed over like the head of a truck. The scene was very impactful.
Qianli’s strategy was correct, but it was the move that Mary wanted to see the most.
"Poison Skull Frog! Concentrate and dodge this attack to win!"
"Doku!" The poisonous skull frog looked focused. It had seen this move many times. However, the ultimate attack launched by the King of Leave in front of it was far less terrifying than that launched by the ferocious jackal dragon that was more than 4 meters tall and nearly 17 meters long.
I have dodged countless times during special training, so this time will not be a surprise!
The Toxicodendron found the right moment with ease and dodged the ultimate impact with ease.
"Absorb punch!"
"Doku!" The Poison Skull Frog swung its fist with all its strength and hit the King of Leave hard. The King of Leave growled with a look of pain on his face, but the physical strength absorbed by the fist made the Poison Skull Frog look better.
"You're very good at dodging! How about this move!" Qianli frowned, obviously immersed in the battle, and he was surprised by the last move that Mary had hidden.
"Again!"
clap clap clap!
"Duoku~" The poisonous skull frog clapped its hands, as if cheering for the King of Leave, but its expression was cold, as if it had determined its defeat.
The effect of the "One More Time" move is to allow the last move to be used three more times. In other words, in a short period of time, the King of Leave can only use the Ultimate Impact of the Poison Skull Frog, which is very easy to dodge!
This is Su Yi’s entire strategy, targeting Qianli’s team and style and centered around Toxicodendron’s skill pool.
If the King of Leaves uses the Earthquake, which is not easy to dodge, at the beginning, then the Poison Frog can only defend against it. In this way, the King of Leaves will have more attack methods to use, which will become very difficult to defend against.
And Qianli really did want to use an earthquake to launch a large-scale attack.
The Leave King, who can only use the Ultimate Impact, is no longer a threat to Toxic Skull Frog, but Toxic Skull Frog did not relax either. It was fully focused on guarding against the Leave King's attacks. After dodging, it would only punch once while he was stunned, and would never be greedy for the attack.
The King of Leave did have plenty of stamina, but Toxic Skull Frog's two sword dances were not to be trifled with. Coupled with the special training during this period, and with steady and cautious tactics, Toxic Skull Frog completely defeated Qianli's team with most of its stamina remaining.
"." Looking at the King of Leave who fell down in humiliation, Qianli felt that he was being seriously targeted.
But it has to be said.
"This was a great battle. Both the Pokémon's performance and the trainer's choice of timing and moves were very clever. Congratulations!" Qianli let out a long sigh, adjusted his expression, and handed over the badge with a smile.
Although she is a young girl, she is extremely calm and thoughtful, including the performance of the poisonous skull frog. Qianli feels like a calm but decisive hunter!
"Thank you!" Mary took the badge and happily showed it to the Frog.
"Doku!" The Poison Skull Frog happily bumped fists with Mary.
"By the way, did you research this chain of strategies?" Qianli asked curiously, wondering if he could imitate it. His Pokémon would also provoke and do it again, and even yawn.
Mary shook her head, pointed at Su Yi who was smiling outside the field, and said, "My master taught me."
Qianli looked at Su Yi who waved at him, and his fists clenched!
Su Yi: These moves are also part of Pokémon battles. Don’t try them if you don’t like them!
For Qianli, who is used to strong attacks, many changes in moves must be appreciated.
"This is a fight, it seems quite interesting! And I know some of your moves!" Zoroark, who watched the whole process, showed an eager expression, but mainly wanted to see the depressed expressions of others after they lost.
Zoroark can also learn Provoke and Try Again. It can be said that most evil Pokémon have some disgusting moves.
"It turns out that these moves are quite useful when combined." Mary seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and for her who was determined to specialize in evil, she must learn how to use these moves.
Su Yi looked at Mary who seemed to have understood something, and thought to himself: How could such a good girl specialize in an attribute that is destined to disgust people?
However, if you can capture a certain Pokémon, maybe it will be even more disgusting.
It just so happened that it could mega evolve, and Su Yi immediately made up his mind to let Mary capture that Pokémon.

Chapter 368: The Fantasy Beast Appears on the Plateau
After finishing the gym challenge, Su Yi took the curious baby Zoroark to visit Chenghua City in the remaining time. The modern city was full of novelty for Zoroark. The little guy ran around everywhere, wishing he could split himself into two and visit every place.
Su Yi finally bought it a few toys, which helped it calm down a little.
