Pokémon: Because I'm so overpowered, I'm invincible.

"I was about to ask you two something too," Sakura said, casting a scrutinizing glance at her two younger sisters. "You two wouldn't happen to be...?"

“Yeah, Byunta seems like a good boyfriend candidate, so I thought I’d give it a try~” Ayame said bluntly.

"Ah..." Peony lowered her eyes.

Because of her gentle personality and tendency to be lazy, she is the weakest of the three sisters in synchronized swimming. She is also a little chubby, which makes her somewhat insecure.

Seeing that both of her older sisters were interested, she felt a little anxious and uncertain.

With the three sisters each harboring their own thoughts, the battle finally began.

The referee walked to the side of the battle arena, raising his command flag: "The battle is about to begin. This challenge match is initiated by challenger Xiaomi, and the Cerulean Gym will be represented by Hyunta. The battle rules are 3V3, and both sides may only use Water-type Pokémon. There is no restriction on substitution. Now, the battle begins. Please send out your Pokémon simultaneously!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaomi also revealed a determined expression and took out a Poké Ball, ready to throw it.

"Wait a minute!"

Bian Tai spoke up to stop him.

"?" Xiao Mi asked in confusion, then patiently said, "Little brother, the battle has already begun, and it's too late to back out now."

“Who said I was going to back out…” Byunta shook his head and held up the two Poké Balls in his hand: “Since the Cerulean Gym currently only has one registered Pokémon, and I only have one Water-type Pokémon, I only have two Pokémon.”

"So...you're planning to change the rules to 2V2?" Xiaomi crossed her arms, squeezing her already ample breasts into an exaggeratedly full arc: "Although it's against the rules, I have no objection."

"No, no, no... What I meant was that I plan to use only one Pokémon and not use any attacking moves to sweep the entire team from one against three."

"Wow—"

These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience.

"What is this kid saying? He's fighting three people and he's not even attacking first??"

"Xiao Mi is a veteran trainer, yet he's so arrogant. I'm afraid the Cerulean Gym is doomed!"

"..."

The three sisters looked at each other in surprise, none of them expecting Byunta to suddenly pull such a stunt.

"Big sister, what are we going to do? There's no way we can win, is there?" Ayame asked anxiously, pulling on Sakura's arm.

"..." Sakura also frowned, looking at the boy's back on the stage with hesitation.

“But according to the rules, Byunta can only use one sea lion, right? So it doesn’t seem like there’s any difference between one against three?” Mudan blinked, noticing the blind spot.

“That’s right…!” Ayame’s eyes lit up: “That way, even if we really lose, we can claim that the rules are unfair, and there will still be room for maneuver… at least we can wait for Misty to come back and arrange another match.”

"That's what he says... but is that really what he means?" Sakura looked at Byunta, inexplicably hoping that his 'outrageous statement' would come true.

Chapter 144 Three Tactics, Successfully Pushing the Team!

On stage, Byun Tai smiled slightly: "How about it? We'll fight according to the rules I told you. What do you think, Sister Xiaomi?"

Xiaomi couldn't figure out why Byunta would propose such an unwinnable rule, so she naturally wouldn't back down: "Heh, since someone wants to hand over the dojo, I naturally won't refuse."

"Just hope that if we lose the match later, some people won't go back on their word and say the rules themselves are unfair..."

"Of course not." Byunta said with certainty, smiling at her.

"Could it be that he's interested in me?" Xiaomi muttered to herself, glancing down at her voluptuous figure, and suddenly realized something.

As a woman, she is very sensitive to the gazes of others, and ever since Byunta came on stage, eyes have frequently fallen on all around her.

Unlike others, she didn't seem to mind the other person's unreasonable scrutiny at all; on the contrary, she intentionally stretched her waist to reveal exaggerated curves...

Byun Tai lowered his eyes. He had no intention of letting Xiaomi, his wife, go: "However, I think my sister is not the kind of person who takes advantage of others in distress. How about we make a bet? If my sister wins, the Cerulean Dojo will be handed over to her."

On the contrary, if I win under such unfavorable circumstances, how about my sister grants me a reasonable request?

"Conditions?" Xiaomi's heart skipped a beat.

The other person's voice seemed to be speaking in sync with her heartbeat; despite the great distance, it went straight to her heart, making it impossible for her to refuse.

"Okay, I'm fine."

Xiaomi nodded in agreement.

On one hand, she was confident in her own abilities, and on the other hand, she was somewhat curious about Byunta...

Based on her intuition, perhaps this condition would be an opportunity for the younger brother and the married aunt to get to know each other?

Xiaomi wasn't sure, but her husband, who had been gone for a long time, didn't hold a high place in her heart. To achieve her goals, taking a little risk was entirely worthwhile.

Referee: "The agreement is now in effect. The rules are changed to 1v3, and the Gym Leader's Pokémon cannot use offensive moves. Now, let the battle begin!"

Xiaomi: "Tentaclerus, prepare for battle!"

Byunta: "White Sea Lion, I choose you!"

"Pfft..."

Two figures jumped into the pool. In front of Xiao Mi was a blue jellyfish with a red agate on its head. Dozens of tentacles were densely distributed around its body, and its two blue pincers were particularly powerful.

[Tentacled Jellyfish Lv44 (Elite Intermediate)]

“ru~…” The white sea lion’s face still had a blush, and it let out a soft growl, its aura not inferior to others.

"This is... a baby sea lion? She actually evolved?" Ayame asked in surprise.

Peony: "But... when I fed her this morning, she was still in her baby sea lion form?"

“Not only that, when I handed the little sea lion over to Byunta, her level was still quite far from what it is now…” Sakura’s beautiful eyes narrowed, and Byunta’s impression in her mind was refreshed once again.

Just by going to the restroom? How did he manage that?

While the three sisters were still in shock, the battle officially began.

Xiaomi started with a probing water cannon attack.

As one of the most powerful water-type moves, the Water Cannon is not to be underestimated.

However...

"White Sea Lion, use 'One More Time'!"

"Ruru~!" The white sea lion flicked its tail and leaped out of the water, its fins flapping vigorously like hands. The spotlight shone on the stinging jellyfish, and its expression became excited.

One more time: Applaud to encourage your opponent, forcing them to use only the skill they just used for a period of time.

"puff--"

The high-pressure water cannon knocked the white sea lion in the air, sending it tumbling into the water.

However, as a Water-type Pokémon, Hydro Pump can only deal half the damage to Dewprich, so she appears to be unharmed.

Xiaomi frowned. Although replacing it would eliminate the effect of doing it again, it would also give Byunta the upper hand. After a moment's thought, she chose to continue her attack.

"Tentacler, continue using water cannons!"

"Ignore it...use hail."

Byunta gave the order, a faint smile playing on his lips.

The white sea lion took another water cannon shot, while simultaneously unleashing hail.

Hail: Changes the weather to hail, dealing continuous minor damage to all Pokémon except Ice-type Pokémon, and can also trigger Dewpur's Frozen Body, continuously restoring its HP.

The two sides then traded blows, engaging in a back-and-forth battle of offense and defense.

Thanks to the recovery of its frozen body, the white sea lion used Water Ring again, while simultaneously withstanding the third Water Cannon.

With the added layer of healing from the Water Ring, she now has the resources to engage in a protracted battle with the Tentacles.

Xiaomi reacted quickly. Seeing that Bian Tai was planning to use a recovery-based tactic, she directly used Poison, attempting to win by using the poison damage from the stacked Poison status.

However, Byunta saw through it in advance and used a substitute as a prediction.

It's important to understand that Stands composed of energy and lacking vitality are immune to abnormal states, which means that the initiative in the battle completely falls into Byunta's hands.

No matter how Tentacruel attacks, he can always turn the tide with his double recovery effect and defensive moves such as Substitute and Protect.

After several rounds, the white sea lion still looked energetic, while the tentacle jellyfish was already panting heavily from using its powerful attacks repeatedly...

"This Byunta is something else! He even came up with this kind of trick... The Stinger jellyfish is probably going to collapse from exhaustion."

"Yes, white sea lions are naturally good at defense. If Xiaomi can't break through their defenses quickly, this battle might be going to end badly..."

"..."

Looking at the freakish man strategizing on stage, the three Hua Lan sisters' beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light.

"I never expected there to be such a trick..." Xiaomi's expression turned serious.

She thought the young man across the street was bringing her food, but it turned out he was setting a trap for her...

He even willingly jumped in himself.

The thought of being subjected to unreasonable demands if she lost made Xiao Mi panic.

"Auntie, you can't get distracted during the match!"

Byunta smiled as the white sea lions in the arena unleashed their third hailstorm.

As each shard of ice fell, the stinging jellyfish finally succumbed to its injuries.

"Tentacloprid is unable to battle. Please switch Pokémon!"

The battle that followed was uneventful, and Byunta pulled out two more tactics he had prepared: a tactic that used charged-up power to amplify his strength, and a tactic that combined sleeping and sleep talking to draw lots.

Charge Up: Accumulate power to increase your own defense and special defense by 1 level. Can be used up to 3 times.

Combined with its regenerative abilities, the White Sea Lion is so tanky that it leaves Xiaomi in despair.

Sleep: Allows you to enter a state of sleep, restoring full physical strength and healing abnormal conditions.

Sleep talking: Randomly using learned skills while asleep.

With her power fully charged, and her Water Ring, Hail, and Substitute activated simultaneously, Xiaomi was already in despair. But then Byunta pulled off this combo, completely breaking her defenses.

As her last Blastoise collapsed from its severe injuries, Xiaomi didn't even wait for the referee's verdict before raising her hand.

"I surrender!"

Chapter 145 Byunta's Request

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! If we get back too late, the Cerulean Gym might change hands!"

Xiaoxia, along with Shazhi, Xiaolan, and the others, ran wildly down the street.

She and her friends were shopping when she overheard the news that Hua Lan Dojo had been challenged and became extremely anxious.

She knew all too well about her three older sisters who were obsessed with synchronized swimming...

Normal matches are already a formality, and challenge matches are basically out of the question.

After running for a while, the group finally arrived at the entrance of the Cerulean Gym.

"Huh...huh..."

Several girls were panting, supporting their knees. Before they could even go inside, the referee's verdict could be heard from within.

"The battle is over!"

"Ah...it's over...!" Xiaoxia's eyes widened, as if she had lost her soul.

"Challenger Xiaomi has voluntarily conceded defeat, and Bian Tai, the gym's fighter, has emerged victorious in this Hua Lan Dojo challenge match! According to the rules, Hua Lan Dojo has the right to refuse any challenge requests for six months..."

"Huh?" Upon hearing Byunta's name, Kasumi, who had been utterly despondent, immediately perked up: "Honey, how come he...?"

Saori blinked: "This guy, he was supposed to be taking Jun-chan to school, how did he suddenly end up here..."

Little Yellow: "Benta-nii must have come to help Cerulean Gym out of this predicament~"

Xiao Lan: "Hey, let's not just stand here, let's go inside and see for ourselves."

At this point, as the match ended, the audience began to disperse, and a large crowd poured out of the dojo's gate.

"Today's match was really exciting to watch!"

"Believe it or not, who would have thought that you could win using this kind of defensive strategy?"

"This Byunta will likely achieve great things in the future!"

"I would call him the ancient Greek god of tactics!"
