Elesa's Surprise

"There are two types of people I hate in my life, those who scatter nails as soon as they get on the field, and those who get rid of my nails as soon as they get on the field."

Instructor Ai spat out such a cautionary tale.

Skarmory within the game screen then dashingly unfolded its wide wings made of steel and flew up into the sky, countless nails of rock swinging above the entire field between the vibrations of its wings, surrounding the Zebstrika that rubbed its hooves together.

"However, the opponent's Zebstrika obviously doesn't exist nor can it carry any moves that can get rid of the spikes, so that means we can scatter the spikes with complete peace of mind."

The sharp Stealth Rock flashed coldly between Aisha's words.

For a moment, Zebstrika didn't even have much of a place to land.

"Zebstrika, Wild Charge!"

The opposing trainer was afraid that the moment he saw Skarmory as well as the move Stealth Rock, he was already understanding Aisha's intentions.

That's why that pleasant female voice instantly commanded Zebstrika to make Wild Charge move.

"You still want to attack?"

Instructor Ai used Snarl and said, "My Skarmory's durability standing for you to hit you won't necessarily be able to hit it in seconds!"

"Skarmory, Whirlwind!"

Although he said that he was confident in Sky Shield's defense, however, Aisha also naturally did not intend to let Skarmory take a beating in place.

The important thing that made Pokémon: Masters different from other versus games was that it had the feel of a real-time game.

It's more than just a turn-based game.

It's a test of the trainer's command and timing skills.

For this reason, not only players, but also Pokémon Leader, who is also a trainer in reality, choose to study tactics and test their favorite Pokémon in Pokémon: Masters, which allows them to edit their teams and Pokémon configurations at will.

"Oooh!"

Skarmory's Whirlwind forces the opponent's Pokémon off the field and onto a new Pokémon, which is continuously damaged by the Stealth Rocks that litter the field.

Repeating this is the core and essence of the Nails tactic...

Not to mention the fact that apart from Stealth Rocks, there are also two other types of spikes - Spikes and Toxic Spikes - that can exist on the field at the same time.

They can take the danger of Nails tactics to a whole new level.

The overlapping damage of the three types of nails, paired with the superb defense, blood volume, and not-so-uncommon self-recovery ability that the recipient team's Pokémon prided themselves on, could completely nauseate the opponent to death.

"Ka!"

Zebstrika only ran out a few steps towards the front, and a simply Whirlwind blowing it back within the trainer's Poké ball.

An Emolga replaced it on the field with a dazed look on its face, taking damage from the high-powered Stealth Rock because it carried the Flying attribute.

The blood level was instantly deducted by a quarter.

"Woo!"

Emolga almost landed on top of the ground.

The audience in attendance smacked their lips.

"Luckily it wasn't a Charizard, if this was a Charizard stepping on such a rock spike, half of its blood level would be directly gone."

"Ha man, according to reason the other side scattered nails, we just need to fight head on, do not take the initiative to rotate Pokémon will be good, Instructor Ai's Skarmory is forcing you to constantly replace the Pokémon on the field ate the damage of the nails, too scary, can Instructor Ai be a human?"

"Thanks a lot, Instructor Ai, I've practically felt the charms of the affected team, after I finish learning it, I'll immediately go over with three spikes to face Gym Leader."

Inside the barrage, the teammates had mixed feelings about what Instructor Ai had done.

Of course, everyone was seriously learning this dirty routine.

Who cares if it was dirty or not, effective was the best tactic.

"Heh~"

Instructor Ai, on the other hand, gave a hearty smile.

A few rounds later, Skarmory had sprinkled the top of the sparring ground with three types of spikes.

The ground was covered with sharp Stealth Rock and chilling Toxic Spikes, while the incredibly sharp Spikes took up more space, leaving no doubt that as long as a Pokémon stepped on the ground, it would be immediately stabbed by these life-threatening nails.

After torturing to death the doubly weakness against rock Emolga, the bloodied Zebstrika was reassigned to the field.

It then let out a wail as its four hooves stomped on three spikes.

The blood level was once again slashed.

"Tsk."

Aisha was also clearly hearing the sound of the opposing trainer smacking her lips.

It was obvious that she was very upset.

However, this was the essence of the dirty set...

Instructor Ai doesn't care if you're a man or a woman, even if it's a pretty girl, he won't let him show mercy.

Hmph, my goal is to become number one in the world, women and such are in the way!

Besides, even if she was as cute as Iono, Instructor Ai would still beat her.

You're a passerby water user and you're still as cute as Iono?

You're kidding.

If you're Elesa, maybe Instructor Ai, who likes long legs, can still use some discretion to stay...

"Eh?"

Aisha suddenly froze.

Emolga and Zebstrika, the other player's IP address was still the Unova region...

"How could it be that coincidental?"

Instructor Ai looked again at the trainer across the street whose real appearance was missing under the mosaic's wrapping and shook his head, dispelling that unrealistic thought in his head.

The other Elesa was a world-class model.

How could she have nothing to do but rush up to take a beating from himself all day long?

"Hey."

At the same time, along with a sigh from the opposing trainer, she endured the pain and reclaimed Zebstrika, whose blood was as fragile as a candle in the wind.

It was replaced with an Eelektross.

This was a Pokémon that was claimed to have no weaknesses, and its Electric attribute paired with its Levitate characteristic made it immune to the only Ground attribute it feared.

Of course, Instructor Ai didn't feel much for this Pokémon.

It was said to have no weaknesses, but there was actually nothing powerful about it.

The racial value distribution and skill pool didn't have any features or advantages, it was more of a blown out thing.

So...

"Skarmory, Whirlwind."

Instructor Ai mercilessly ordered the qualities.

"It's over, that trainer on the other side was completely slipped by Instructor Ai from start to finish, it's too bad."

"How could there be a Pokémon as handsome as Skarmory?"

"Crushing, completely crushing."

This game of sparring, Aisha's operation, the water users watching the live stream were also watching.

Skarmory stood the entire match with its superior durability.

The opponent is obviously a trainer who specializes in Electric type Pokémon, however, although it is said that the electric attribute restrains Skarmory's Flying attribute, the enemy's Pokémon were either hit by nails all over the ground and disrupted the rhythm of their attacks as soon as they came on the scene, and were forced to eat Skarmory's Whirlwind and end up dead.

The Sky Shield is not for nothing.

The core of the Nails tactic is exactly the same - after scattering the nails, you need to find a way to stand on the field and utilize the nails to kill the opponent.

Obviously, Instructor Ai, who was an extra member of the icon staff - a dirty set of people, was very good at this type of tactic.

In the end, after a few rounds, when the opponent's Eelektross was tortured to death by the spikes, Instructor Ai and his Skarmory were able to win the matchup without any surprises.

Another three in a row.

"Oops."

Instructor Ai on top of his computer felt a pang of loneliness like snow.

At the end, he added a thoughtful comment.

"People should not think that the Nail Spreading Tactic is dirty, in fact, this tactic is just as good as a slight variation of the idea, placed within the team that focuses on the offense, using Stealth Rock, Spikes, and Toxic Spikes blood grinding tactics, punishing those who make it impossible to hit the affected team's Pokémon, and the stationary Pokémon on the team assists our damage hand in dealing damage."

Instructor Ai had a righteous look on his face, as if the person who used the tatic to treat others just now was not himself.

"Everyone, that's why the Nail Scattering Tactic is a particularly righteous tactic."

A large series of question marks brushed across the top of the barrage.

The water users raged against Instructor Ai's stinky face.

Aisha, on the other hand, selectively ignored their words.

"Let's use the righteous nai scattering tactic to rescue those lost sheep who are deep within the abyss of disgusting people on the receiving team and are unable to extricate themselves!"

Listening to his words, Iono and Ruby, who were watching the live stream, didn't know what to think.

Some people who knew Instructor Ai were also speechless.

"It's broken, Instructor Ai has no mental burden at all now that he's disgusting people."

"What a horrible man we have raised."

"Weird, why do I feel that Instructor Ai's words make so much sense?"

"I understand, Instructor Ai is actually the embodiment of justice from the beginning, because Instructor Ai always fights head-on in real battles. In the beginning, he only played the team to let us understand the dangers of the team. Now, we have timely introduced the nail spreading tactic that can restrain and limit the enemy team to a certain extent. Once we learn it, we can counterattack those who are forced by the enemy. This is great, Instructor Ai!"

"That dude up there has gone crazy... I suggest he be dragged to Arkham Asylum..."

Barrage friends were as weird as ever.

"Good."

Instructor Ai rubbed his hands together before the computer and said, "The tactic of scattering nails requires so many things to consider, and, there's quite a bit of learning around it."

"Let's play a few more battles today and record the material. Tonight, Instructor Ai will give it a try and try to release a tactical teaching video tomorrow!" Aisha made a promise to the water friends and said: "Maybe, I will also focus on the tactic of spreading nails and produce a video of Pokémon that can be selected."

Compared to Pink Demon, Spreading Nails was undoubtedly a more civilianized tactic as well.

Instructor Ai was also a trainer from a poor family, so of course he didn't mind letting the trainers who were learning his tactic live a more comfortable life as well.

"Praise Instructor Ai!"

"Double hot booking."

"Top!"

"Instructor Ai, my Superman!"

"Keep torturing your opponent, we have a side dish for tonight's dinner."

There was laughter along the way, and Aisha launched his next match.

...

Unova Region, Nimbasa City, Nimbasa Gym.

"Hiss."

The sound of gasping sounded in the girl's boudoir.

The beautiful girl with short black hair, combining the youthful beauty of a young girl with the charming appearance of a mature woman, as if she were a model, raised her slender palm and held her delicate forehead.

"Aye..."

After a long time, she sighed.

Looking at the "Gameover" prompt on the computer screen, Elesa felt her hands still shaking.

This was indeed the case.

"How could there be a Pokémon of such caliber as Skarmory..."

In other words, how could there be a trainer as dirty as Instructor Ai?

Elesa's expression was getting a bit hung over.

It wasn't the first time she had taken a beating from this trainer.

Something similar had already happened once before, when she had been beaten by Instructor Ai using the Chansey's Minimize tactic.

As a world-class model and the Gym Leader of the Nimbasa Gym, Elesa was clearly a trainer who was in the business of accidental people's perceptions and evaluations.

Her tactics are just like the attributes of the Pokémon she specializes in using, a type that is as glittering and bright as thunder and lightning.

Then, Elesa met Instructor Ai.

This gorgeous young girl was educated to the point of skepticism on the spot by the man of dirty sets.

Twice!

"What a man with no manners."

Looking at the man's avatar above the game screen, Elesa also muttered with a burst of dissatisfaction.

Obviously, he was so good-looking, but how could he be so black-hearted when he went down to battle...

Of course, complaints aside, Elesa's heart was still very much in admiration of Instructor Ai.

After all, a capable person wouldn't be annoying anywhere.

Especially for someone as 'great' as Instructor Ai.

Although she received two consecutive beatings from him, Elesa still had a good feeling towards Aisha, so much so that after the first beating, instead of getting angry, she took the initiative to send a friend request to the other party in an attempt to make a friend with him.

Of course, the friend request and the message also dropped like a stone.

Instructor Ai didn't respond to Elesa.

This did not come out of her expectation.

After all, Elesa was a public figure herself.

Not paying attention to private messages and friend requests in order to avoid unnecessary trouble was something she was more than familiar with.

Instructor Ai was also a big anchor, and it was normal to face such troubles.

Of course, despite this, she still felt a pang of anger.

Elesa was a world-class model, a great beauty without a doubt.

However, this man actually rejected his friend request, not even willing to look at himself.

As if, he only had Pokémon vs. Pokémon in his eyes...

Hmph, you got my attention!

Well, Elesa had more or less read some strange novels and learned some strange lines and plots on Wan Long's recommendation - Shauntal that otaku girl could be said to have poisoned the circle of high-level trainers in the Unova region.

Then, Elesa got to know Aisha more deeply - just like Summer, Sabrina, and Cynthia, the more she got to know Aisha, the more interested she was in this young trainer.

"Aye~ I wonder when I can meet him in reality?"

Holding her fair face, Elesa also muttered to herself.

She wanted to see if that man with the black hand was of the same quality in reality...

It shouldn't be that someone is that cold and flawless, right?

Elesa was a bit afraid to confirm.

This man was a devil...

Ding-!

At this time, Elesa's cell phone rang.

Alarm clock.

The time displayed above the cell phone screen told Elesa that it was time to work.

"Ha."

The beautiful and beautiful Nimbasa Gym Leader sighed with a helpless face, her face showing a tired look.

Her profession, decided that her life could not be completely dictated by her own will.

All day long, there was only so much free time.

That free time was also ruined by a demon who played Spread the Nails and suffer the team...

Elesa was literally in tears.

It was so dirty!

"Is it true that people like that don't get real offline?"

Just as the thought popped into her head, Elesa remembered the live footage of Instructor Ai undefeatedly fighting a wild Pokémon with his bare hands.

Scary.

She took another look at her small arms and legs - although she said that as a model she had always had serious exercise and fitness, but, at best, it was only the level of the girls' group.

If she really met that teenager in reality, it's hard to say who's real and who's not...

"Hey."

Sighing again, Elesa stood up straight, two braids hanging down on either side of her slender waist.

She took her cell phone and walked out of the room.

Ding-!

As she lifted her leg and prepared to walk towards the front of the gym, Elesa's cell phone rang again.

"Hmm?"

She looked at her phone and realized it was a call.

"Iono?"

Elesa pronounced the caller's name.

Not that she was surprised.

Being the same Electric type Gym Leader, Iono, who was an internet celebrity, and Elesa, who was a model by profession, were considered to be on the same page and were quite familiar with each other.

Not to mention the fact that the two of them had been working together on a program for a while, so they had frequent exchanges.

Therefore, Elesa didn't express any surprise at Iono's call, and at the same time, she simply answered the call.

"Hey, Iono, what's up?"

"Ah, the guest of honor?"

"It's true that I'm struggling to choose a guest, my intention is still to choose a trainer who is famous enough and powerful enough, Brycen, Sabrina, Diantha and these people are on my list of alternatives, however... I wonder if these big stars have the schedule to accept our invitation?"

"Huh?"

"That person... are you sure he can be our guest?"

"Good, in that case, I'll leave the guest issue to you."

"Uh-huh."

A few minutes later, Elesa hung up the phone.

She looked at the message that Iono had subsequently sent to her on her cell phone, looked at the name compiled within the message, and after freezing for a moment, the corners of her delicate mouth raised into a smile.

"Originally, I was still wondering when we could meet in reality... I didn't expect that the opportunity would be delivered to my door so soon."
