Natsu has always been curious as to what the Pryce of this world is. how.
Is that Pryce who wears the glacier mask to find Celebi to revive the two Lapras he lost?
Or that "Winter's Pryce" thought to be abandoned because Piloswine's search for herbs accidentally got frozen?
This he cannot confirm.
But one thing can be confirmed is that if it is Pryce wearing a glacier mask, it can definitely crush Agatha, and if it is "Pryce in winter", the two are stronger and weaker. .
But no matter which one it is, it can be seen that Pryce actually has a deep bond with his Pokémon.
Although it is an ice attribute Elite, it has a cold exterior, but in fact it has a fiery heart for Pokémon.
In this world, the bond and trust between Pokémon and Trainer can indeed change many, many things to some extent.
For example, Leon and Charizard, Shirona and Garchomp, even Ash and Greninja
Treat Pokémon with sincerity and Pokémon will surely respond.
Trainer and Pokémon are not masters and tools, but equal partners.
"Beer–"
"Ke-"
Beedrill and Abra were both lying on the windows, looking out at the upcoming battle on the field. Two Elites.
Natsu also stood beside them, eyes twinkling.
Not long ago he saw the strength of the prep Elite Four Tom Ritchie.
But that's just reservists after all.
Now, what he's about to see is a battle between the real Elite Four, and the old Elite Four.
The cheers intensified as Pryce and Agatha threw each other's Poké Balls almost simultaneously.
The red light flickered, cheering like a tide, one wave after another.
A Dewgong with a snow-white body without any flaws, a sharp horn on his head, and confident eyes appeared in front of Pryce.
On the other side, there is a Misdreavus who is petite and cute, with a strange and agile figure, and a little mischievous in his eyes.
Dewgong VS Misdreavus.
Neither Pryce nor Agatha sent their strongest Pokémon at first.
"Is it first-hand mutual testing?"
Also.
If it's just an exhibition match, they won't be beaten to death, and maybe even after all the battles, they may not be able to see their Trump Card Pokémon.
Natsu analyzes the winning relationship between the two Pokémons on the field based on what he knows, and deduces the tactics or means that the two may use.
Although most of his experience is from gaming only.
"Dewgong of the Thick Fat Characteristic Trait and Misdreavus of the floating Characteristic Trait, neither of the two Pokémons can dominate either from the Attribute or from the Characteristic Trait."
"Who do you think will win the First Stage?"
Shirona appeared beside Natsu at some point, and a cold voice came to her ears.
Natsu glanced at her, and what he saw happened to be the half of his face that was not covered by his long hair, and it was white and flawless.
After being a little lost, he hesitated and said: "Not good, it depends on what their tactics are, really. I think it is possible that these two Pokémon will leave the field at the same time."
"Oh? Why?"
Steven also stood up, walked to the glass, and asked curiously.
"If it were me, Misdreavus should use Will-O-Wisp immediately, and Pryce should be able to guess Agatha's plan and turn on Safeguard as a defense."
I see .
Misdreavus, who was slightly faster in the field, really threw a weird deep green flame to Dewgong directly.
And Dewgong seems to have put the Safeguard on himself in time as if he had anticipated it in advance.
Seeing this scene, Steven and Shirona both looked at Natsu in surprise.
Guessing?
Or
Natsu didn't see the eyes of the two, and looked the head.
To put it bluntly: "Misdreavus is a little weaker overall, but this way both Pokémons must leave at the same time."
"Why?"
Misdreavus is obviously weaker, but should he leave at the same time?
Can't Dewgong win?
But Natsu's ideas were completely different from theirs.
He really took the identities of Agatha and Pryce to think about problems, relying on years of battle experience and almost every Pokémon to use some black technology.
Remove some unique cultivation methods in Pokémon world, such as Pryce's Swinub, Agatha's Ghost Legion.
Roughly speaking, Pokémon battles of the same level of strength will not avoid some of the tactics of the previous game.
Just like this time.
As the battle heats up, the power gap between the two Pokémons gradually becomes apparent.
But the next second, the smile on Agatha's face directly changed the current situation.
"Misdreavus, Mean Look."
Sure enough.
Natsu thought to himself.
"The next step is Perish Song," Natsu said.
"Perish Song." Steven and Shirona froze.
Of course they know what Perish Song means once released, and Dewgong has been captured by Mean Look.
I saw Mean Look Natsu from Agatha Gengar the other day, and she seems to be very keen on this move.
Then Misdreavus probably won't.
Mean Look +Perish Song Grab a meat shield or team doctor, or destroy the Baton Pass team, this routine is all too familiar to Natsu.
Misdreavus was also popular in the game for a while, but was gradually replaced by Pokémons such as Lapras, Yueyi and Jynx.
If the speed is not as fast as the other party, opening a Trick Room is really a forcible change of one.
And once Perish Song starts, it doesn't matter if Misdreavus loses the combat capability.
A Pokémon like Misdreavus is too sloppy, especially when there is no limit on the number of moves, it is too easy to pull Pryce's Dewgong into the water.
As Natsu said, Agatha's next order to Misdreavus was Perish Song.
However, that's not the case for Steven and Shirona.
"You" Steven opened his mouth, and Shirona's eyes sparkled.
Natsu can actually sync Elite's tactics?
Seeing their expressions, Natsu smiled helplessly.
Where is this tactic?
This is totally dirty.
Didn't you see Pryce put away Dewgong with a deadpan expression, not even the slightest change in mood?
He must have guessed what Agatha was going to do long ago when Agatha summoned Misdreavus.
"As a Trainer, isn't it basic to memorize the moves that every Pokémon can master and learn? Pokémon schools teach you," explained Natsu.
"That's what it says, but"
Can someone really remember them all and use them in combat?
"As expected of a researcher." But Shirona gave Natsu the answer.
Steven who heard this was taken aback.
With such a sentence, it suddenly makes sense.
Natsu glanced at the two of them without making any excuses.
The reason why he didn't hide his speculation about this matchup was that he had some ideas.
Don't look at his good relationship with Steven and Shirona now, but it's actually strangers coming together by chance. Once people leave Kanto Region, they may forget it in a few days.
After all, it's just a couple of times.
It was nothing, and Natsu didn't care.
But his mind changed when he decided to leave Saffron City or even the Kanto Region.
It's not that I hope to get something from the two of them, but maybe this "knowing" relationship can be maintained.
It is convenient for him to shoot some more sensitive and tricky things.
For example, this time the Dusk Stone with intermediate rank quality.
He's sure to be coveted when he takes it out, but if Steven takes it out, it's going to be unremarkable.
And this time, of course, is a good time to deepen the impression.
