For the upcoming Bouffalant Cup, Satoru had done a lot of research on the strong and popular teams, giving him some knowledge of the students at Niji-no-Hane.
For example, the blonde with the levitating ahoge was named Ijichi Nijika. She was famous among the second-year students and had recently formed a team called "Kessoku Band," preparing for the future High School League.
For some reason, Satoru felt a maternal aura from her.
Ijichi Nijika might be the woman who could become his mother.
The other girl was named Kagura Hikari, a "returnee" from the Galar region.
Because the Galar region highly promoted the culture of Pokémon battling, Kagura Hikari herself was exceptionally skilled. According to the rumors Satoru had heard, she seemed to have the potential to become an Elite Four member.
How strong are the Elite Four?
At my current level, I'll need to gather six Pokémon first.
And they'll need to be fully evolved. I'll need a Mega Evolution too.
Satoru's gaze darkened.
He had heard that the League allowed the use of Dynamax, Terastallization, and Z-Moves in tournaments and league challenges, but not Mega Evolution.
Because in this world, Mega Evolution wasn't even known yet!
The glorious Mega Evolution had already won its revival tournament, yet it was unknown in this world.
I miss you, my great Mega bosses.
For the sake of future battles with strong opponents, Satoru knew he had to spread Mega Evolution.
It's only fun when you clash with others who are also using their full power and all their cheats!
[Let me say this first, Satoru-baby, I can't create Mega Stones for you.]
"Don't worry, I wasn't counting on you in the first place."
[Sob sob sob... ╥﹏╥]
After casually brushing off Furiko, Satoru focused his attention on the battle between Hikari and Nijika.
Ice-type Beartic vs. Electric-type Electabuzz.
In terms of base stats, there wasn't much difference. Beartic was a final evolution, but its pure Ice-typing was a huge letdown. Electabuzz's stat distribution wasn't great, but it still had one more evolution.
Currently, the two were about evenly matched.
In terms of strength, they're no match for my Raichu!
The thought couldn't help but cross Satoru's mind.
"Mr. Bear, charge in again with Ice Punch."
Kagura Hikari calmly commanded her Beartic. The power of ice quickly condensed on its right fist as it charged towards Electabuzz.
"Electabuzz, block it, then use Thunderbolt! Let's show them the results of our training!" Nijika said, unruffled.
"ELE!" Electabuzz barely managed to block the Ice Punch with both its hands. The force of the attack gradually covered its body in a thin layer of frost.
But Electabuzz wasn't completely frozen. Instead, it unleashed its own move—Thunderbolt!
Golden lightning struck the Beartic, which was still in the middle of its Ice Punch animation, instantly enveloping its entire body.
"ROAR..."
The heat of the lightning gradually melted the frost, and the electric current made it difficult for Beartic to escape.
However, seeing this, Hikari's expression didn't change at all. Her gaze was extremely cold, as frigid as her Beartic.
"But my Mr. Bear still has his left hand. Brick Break." Hikari immediately gave the command.
"ROAR!" Beartic's left hand shot up, swinging down like a karate chop. The force of the Brick Break struck the opponent like lightning.
"Ele... Elebuzz..." Electabuzz cried out in pain, heavily damaged by the Brick Break, its body staggering backward.
Even the momentum of its Thunderbolt stopped. Under the Brick Break of a Beartic with a base 130 Attack stat, Electabuzz was about to collapse.
Huh? You used two moves at once? Is that legal?!
"Can it really do that?"
Satoru blinked, wanting to try it out himself.
Unfortunately, his Pokémon didn't have many hand-based moves, so he couldn't use this tactic.
Normally, moves like Ice Punch and Thunder Punch were only used with one hand. After all, not everyone had Parental Bond. He had heard that to achieve a two-fisted style, you needed special training, which was very difficult.
But the free hand, without special training, could perfectly well use other hand-based moves.
As for what "hand-type" was, it goes without saying. Hand-type is hand-type.
"Electabuzz, are you okay?" Ijichi Nijika looked at her Electabuzz with concern.
"Elebuzz..." Electabuzz barely managed to nod in response.
"In that case, use Screech."
"ELE—!" Hearing this, Electabuzz immediately opened its large mouth, shouting out a piercing sound with thin yellow or purple rings of light, which boomed across the battlefield like thunder.
"Roar..." Beartic was caught in the Screech, its body trembling, unable to concentrate.
"Now use Wild Charge!"
Not missing this opportunity, Nijika pressed her advantage.
Electabuzz covered its body in electricity, crashing into Beartic like a shining electric meteor.
"Mr. Bear, use a final Giga Impact." Hikari calmly waved her hand forward.
Beartic's entire body was enveloped in a purplish-white aura, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, its body filled with power as it charged at its opponent.
"ELEBUZZ!"
The two Pokémon crashed into each other, exploding in a dazzling light. The powerful impact made the air around them tremble.
"ROAR!" In the end, Beartic, with its greater power, came out slightly ahead, sending Electabuzz flying. Electabuzz tumbled in the air a few times before crashing heavily to the ground, unable to battle.
"Electabuzz~~" Ijichi Nijika rushed over and helped her Pokémon up. Beartic, meanwhile, barely managed to stand, its spirit not great, but it hadn't taken any fatal damage.
Screech + STAB Wild Charge and it still didn't win?
This is the result of studying in Galar.
To be honest, Satoru had only one thought at the moment.
He wanted to transfer to Kagura Hikari's class and battle her! Or battle her right now!
Unfortunately, it seemed she had no such intention at the moment.
"You worked hard, Mr. Bear." The battle over, Hikari took out a Poké Ball and recalled her Beartic.
Ignoring the crowd of onlookers, Hikari prepared to leave, taking the champion's prize with her.
It seemed there was some kind of small tournament here, where a victory would earn you corresponding points and a TM.
[Satoru-baby, aren't you going to battle her?~]
"No need. There will be plenty of chances in the future. She'll definitely be at the High School League."
Satoru's and Hikari's eyes met, and a slight smile played on his lips.
If they could meet on a bigger stage, then there was no rush.
A 6v6 full battle, that's what he wanted.
Of course, if possible, it would be best to have a battle with Dynamax involved. After all, Satoru longed for the chance to use Mega Evolution to clash with Dynamax.
But if he went to the Galar region, he might abandon his old friend (Mega Evolution) and choose Dynamax.
Just like Incineroar, the coolness that came with its strength was just too good!
Incineroar, my Incineroar~ Praise be to the Tiger, nothing more needs to be said.
Satoru increasingly wanted to get the universe's number one Pokémon. Although it wasn't that strong in Singles, in Scarlet and Violet it still had a usage rate in the top 30.
But lost in his thoughts, Satoru didn't notice that Kagura Hikari's azure gaze had been lingering on him for a long time before moving away.
"That person is Satoru, isn't he..."
Kagura Hikari's gaze shifted from Satoru. She silently turned and left without looking back.
"He'll probably participate in the Bouffalant Cup... I'll find him next time..."
