Chapter 697: Physical or Special, I Can't Tell the Difference

After obtaining the consent of Hep's mother, Zhou You reserved the qualification for Professor Oak's summer camp for him this year.

For people who love elves, activities founded by top academic scholars like Oak are worth participating in even if they have to travel across the ocean.

Isn't Serena like Carlos like this...

Zhou You can't send Hep to the Kanto region directly like Xiao Ma Ge, because human parents are not as careless as elf guardians.

However, the knowledge that can be taught in a short summer camp is limited, so he decided to teach him a little basic knowledge before that.

There was still some time before dusk, so he took him to the ranch near Hep's family.

"Hep, for a trainer, the most important quality is to play to one's strengths and avoid weaknesses, and give full play to the abilities of elves, so knowledge in all aspects is very necessary."

The characteristics of elves, the restraint of attributes, the choice of moves, the timing of rotation, and the use of rigid knowledge in textbooks, all of these will affect the direction of real battles.

"Isn't it just hard work?" Hep was puzzled, because his elder brother had worked hard all the way.

There is a saying that genius is 99% sweat and 1% inspiration.

"Oh? Try to design a cellular automaton for me that can fight with all elves and all moves?"

Hep smiled foolishly. Let alone designing such a thing, to be frank, he didn't even know what a cellular automaton was.

"You see, hard work can't solve everything. Whether it's a human or an elf, they all have their own strengths and weaknesses, and what they can and can't do.

"Just like your eldest brother's rival Sonya, didn't she choose to become a elf doctor in the end?"

Hep probably won't understand this if you tell him now, but he will understand it in the future.

"So how to let the elves play their strengths is the first skill that trainers should learn. ”

Battle is a competitive sport that can cause injuries, pain, and fear in Pokémons. In some special cases, it may even cause Pokémons to die or something similar.

Therefore, trainers must fulfill their responsibilities and avoid letting Pokémons fight against opponents who can restrain them, or forcing them to fight against enemies they cannot defeat, unless they are absolutely sure.

For example, letting the newly collected Pidgeot fight against Onix...

Hup seemed to understand. Even the worst trainer would not do such a thing, right?

"It's easy to say, but it's easy to get carried away when it's your turn. This is a mistake made by a friend I know very well."

Hup is impulsive and reckless. To some extent, he is the same type of player as Xiaozhi.

"It's good to get excited, but you can't let your emotions affect your judgment.

"I have just told you all the characteristics of Braided Sheep. Next, let's have a simulated battle."

"Battle?"

When he heard the word battle, Hupp's eyes suddenly glowed.

Although he has never won in battle, he will never be afraid of any challenge to embarrass his elder brother!

"Well, first of all, let me teach you how to judge the type of moves in actual combat." Zhou You thought for a moment, then took out a few Poké Balls, "But only the Braided Sheep is not enough, choose one from these Poké Balls as a teammate for the simulated battle."

Eden, Arthur, and Reshiram, who are completely uncommandable by ordinary people, are naturally not included in the list, and only those few small ones can be provided to Hep.

Looking at the Poké Ball handed over by the other party, Hep tried to identify it for a long time, and finally chose the Steel Armored Crow, which he had seen at least a few times.

"Its name is the Bird Spirit Heavenly Venerable Iron Claw Invincible Howling Wind Soul Grabbing Multi-haired Xiangpeng Grand Marshal, just call it the Grand Marshal."

"Such a long name!?"

Facing Hep's doubts, the Poké Ball pretending to be a filial son shook violently, as if expressing his dissatisfaction.

However, it doesn't matter if others command him. It's better to say that it's a good thing to have the opportunity to fight with his teammates.

"After all, Steeljaw is a very powerful Pokémon, but its characteristics are similar to those of Braided Sheep, both of which are good at defense."

You can tell from its appearance.

After receiving the hint, Hep was thoughtful. It was similar to Braided Sheep, that is, it was good at physical defense and tactically tended to defend and counterattack.

Even the fear of fire was the same.

In other words, the Pokémon that Hep was good at seemed to have similar tendencies.

Whether it was Braided Sheep, Steeljaw, Snorlax, or Zangmarant (now it should be called the Shield King), they were all Pokémon that were too tanky.

This was very different from Zhouyou's fighting style.

"No problem, I have completely understood it, let's get started, Master Qiao Qiao!"

After excitedly confirming Steeljaw's fighting spirit, Hep threw out the Poké Ball in a posture that he had carefully prepared and practiced.

"Go, Braided Sheep!"

"Me~"

Compared to the energetic Haualter, Braided Sheep seemed to be not very energetic, and it was even difficult to tell whether the horizontal striped eyes were squinting or sleeping.

"Alas, Braided Sheep is not a Pokémon that likes fighting after all." Hep laughed helplessly, but he could guarantee that his Braided Sheep was very talented.

"Well, Nuomici, it's you."

Zhouyou sent out the Ice Vulpix, which was not very strong in absolute terms.

"Let's practice identifying the physical and special categories of moves first."

Hep nodded seriously.

According to the master's instructions, the thick wool of the Braided Sheep can resist ice and snow, contact moves, and is also very resistant to physical moves. When facing such moves, you can just leave it alone and strengthen or counterattack.

"Nuomici, use "Ice Gravel" and "Fine Snow"!"

However, Zhou You did not follow the routine at all, and directly used physical and special moves of ice attributes at the same time, blowing the Braided Sheep, who was overwhelmed, into a snowman.

"Huh?"

He Pu was a little dumbfounded: "Don't "Ice Gravel" and "Fine Snow" look the same? Which one is physical and which one is special?"

Physical and special are hard to tell apart.

"You can't tell that?" Eden, who was watching outside the field, was very proud, "I haven't tested you on the damage types of "Mental Blade", "Mental Power", "Telekinesis", "Mental Shock", and "Mental Break". ”

Arthur tilted his head in confusion, so what are these types?

It seems that the moves with superpower attributes all seem to grab the opponent and then smash them to other places?

"It's a bit beyond the scope to test superpowers right away, and when did you also copy "Psychic Break"? "

"No, but strictly speaking, "Psychic Break" is actually nothing special, and the only strong one is Mewtwo. "

If it is just a special move that causes physical damage, "Psychic Shock" can also do it.

I don't know if I can finish 4 chapters in 4 hours. It is really difficult to write 6 chapters a day. I feel that I need to adapt to the normal rhythm of adding more chapters.
