"Dolliv, Grass Knot!"

"Drednaw, use Protect!"

Nessa's reaction was incredibly fast. Before the attack, she had already decided that as long as Marcus's last move slot was an attacking move, she would immediately use Protect to defend.

But...

"Bang—"

A tough Grass Knot suddenly appeared beneath Drednaw's feet. It was tripped directly to the ground before it could react, kicking up a large cloud of dust!

Its fierce large eyes had already turned into spirals!

"Ding, successful cross-level battle, obtained 5 general talent points!"

"Drednaw is unable to battle, Dolliv wins!"

"It's Grass Knot! Trainer Marcus's choice is still so sharp! This move is performed by utilizing Grassy Terrain. The Grass Knot that suddenly appeared under its feet made it impossible for the charging Drednaw to react with Protect in time, leading to its direct defeat!" The commentator's voice arrived late.

Immediately, the audience also recovered from their daze and erupted in thunderous cheers!

"Ho... how could this be..." Nessa stood frozen in place.

She thought they would battle for a while longer, but she didn't expect the match to end so abruptly...

Marcus shook his head. The move Grass Knot has a base power of 100 against Drednaw, which weighs over 100kg. With a 4x weakness, a 50% Same Type Attack Bonus, and the 50% Special Attack increase from Growth, this move already had a power of 900.

And Drednaw, which wasn't particularly good at Special Defense, naturally found it difficult to withstand.

Actually, Nessa's command in this battle wasn't a major issue. It was just that Dolliv's defense was too high, and after enduring Body Slam and using Growth, Drednaw was essentially doomed.

"Drednaw's biting power is very strong. In fact, if you had used Bite or Crunch for close combat from the start, there might have been a chance..."

Marcus said as he recalled Dolliv, "I hope you become stronger next time. Farewell."

"Ah... okay..." Nessa stared blankly at his retreating figure...

...

"Hello, Mr. Marcus. The revenue share from today's two matches is 172,156 PD, which has been transferred to your account~" The hostess smiled, her attitude very humble.

"Hmm... okay, thank you."

Marcus was secretly pleased. It seemed that developing popularity on social media was starting to pay off.

After his popularity increased, the Battle Facility's revenue also significantly improved. Coupled with the Fire Stone sold to Flint, he now had over 1,500,000 PD.

"I'm rich now..." Marcus grinned and walked out of the Battle Facility's main entrance.

"Marcus, wait a moment!"

A shout came from behind him, and he saw Nessa chasing after him.

"Hm? Is something wrong?" Seeing it was her, Marcus raised an eyebrow slightly.

Unexpectedly, her dark blue long hair traced a beautiful arc in the air, and her tanned skin glowed faintly, showcasing her body's flexibility.

Nessa actually bowed directly to him.

"I apologize for some of my rude actions before, and for the criticism from my online fans..."

Straightening up, the beautiful model said apologetically, "Today's battle made me realize that you are an excellent Trainer who is good at utilizing your Pokemon's strengths to battle."

Saying this, she took out a photo and handed it to Marcus.

In it, a Braviary and a Mandibuzz were incubating several Pokemon Eggs in a nest.

"Oh?" Marcus was startled, "This is..."

"This is something I accidentally took a picture of when I encountered the Wingull. I thought you might need it, consider it compensation for calling you that before."

"Hmm... Braviary, huh..." Marcus pondered.

The Braviary family are Pokemon from the Unova region, with some distribution in Sinnoh as well.

Marcus's team also happened to lack a physical attacker. The Flying-type Braviary was a good choice, both in terms of its coverage and appearance.

After all, it could use Tailwind to boost the team during battles and also had tactical moves like Brave Bird for forced switching. In daily life, it could also fly and carry people for travel, making its utility maxed out.

"Thank you then, I do need this information." Marcus accepted the photo, bowed slightly, and said, "As a reward, I'll give you some suggestions as well."

"If I'm not mistaken, your Wingull's ability should be Hydration, and after evolving into Pelipper, it can gain the Drizzle ability."

"Rainy Weather can boost the damage of Water-type moves by 50%, so you can definitely build a powerful Water-type offense team..."

Marcus told Nessa a Rainy Weather team composition that he had summarized from his previous life.

Kingdra, Swampert, Gastrodon, Quagsire, Golisopod, and Toxapex, among others.

If Nessa wasn't going to be a Water-type Gym Leader in the future, he would even hope she could catch a Ferrothorn or a Scizor...

Electric-type and Grass Type, which are effective against Water-type's weaknesses, are very useful, and Rainy Weather can also compensate for its Fire-type weakness.

"That's all for now, keep up the good work!" With that, Marcus waved his hand and turned to leave.

"Hey... you..." Nessa suddenly called out to stop him.

The young man looked back, revealing a handsome profile.

Complex emotions flickered in Nessa's dark blue pupils, and her voice was ethereal, "It's just... I wanted to ask you, do you want to travel together?"

Marcus was startled, "Hm?... What did you say?"

"Ah... nothing... I, I'll go first!" In the end, the girl did not make the invitation a second time. She left a sentence behind and ran away in a flurry.

Marcus looked at her graceful retreating figure and smiled slightly.

Of course, he had heard her, but he already had a lovely girlfriend in his heart, and he would consciously maintain boundaries with other girls.

...

...

Lily of the Valley Island, Sinnoh Pokemon League.

Fire-type Elite Four member Flint fiddled with his phone, exclaiming repeatedly, "Lucian, come take a look, this kid seems interesting..."

Psychic-type Elite Four member Lucian walked over and saw a video playing on the screen showing Marcus's Smoliv defeating Roark's three Pokemon in a row.

"Tsk... this kid really knows how to exploit loopholes..." Lucian shook his head, "Roark too, how could he not keep at least one move slot?"

"No, no, no, I think this kid named Marcus is quite smart..."

"What are you two looking at? Let me see..."

A pair of fair, slender hands took the phone directly, and a golden-haired older sister figure wearing a black woolen coat appeared in front of the two.

It was Champion Cynthia of Sinnoh.

"Hey... Cynthia, how can we watch like this?" Flint complained with slight dissatisfaction.

"Then you just don't watch, anyway, the two of you combined can't beat me..." Cynthia smiled sweetly, then saw Marcus's performance.

Soon, a look of interest flashed in her gray eyes, "Who taught this young man? I never thought a Gym could be beaten like this..."

"Uh... he sold me four Fire Stones today, so I casually took a look at his profile. It seems he's a new Trainer who just set off."

"Oh right, he's on a winning streak in the Battle Facility up to the Bronze rank, his talent is very good." Flint said.

"Hmm... I see... Notify the Pokemon League, the rule that Gym Leaders cannot be replaced will be abolished from now on~"

Saying this, Cynthia took out a large stack of documents piled half as high as a person, "By the way, there are also these documents, you have to finish all of them today, okay?"

"Huh?" Flint and Lucian were both stunned.

This is... changing the rules just because a newcomer exploited a loophole?

And, so many documents... all in one day?

You're probably trying to exhaust us to death!

"Is there a problem?" Cynthia smiled slightly, a dangerous curve appearing at the corner of her mouth, "If you delay me from getting off work to eat ice cream... you know..."

"Ah... no, no, no, we'll go do it immediately!"
