Chapter 308: Jing He: A Step-by-Step Guide to Speedrunning the Battle Factory
Chapter 308: Jing He: A Step-by-Step Guide to Speedrunning the Battle Factory
Online discussions about the Battle Frontier continued to trend, with heated conversations about the day's events.
Coalomass's Blazing Inferno melted the Battle Ground, and Bear Apprentice showcased his exceptional martial arts skills, leaving a deep impression on the online audience.
In these discussions, familiar names often surfaced, further fueling the excitement.
Xi Ba: Indeed, Jing He is a skilled martial artist, and I wouldn't be confident facing him.
Master Mathis: Little He He is amazing! Bear Apprentice has improved so much. I'd love to have another match with him to regain some 'face,' haha!
Professor Da Mu Bo Shi: Judging by the temperature, Coalomass must have exceeded 2000 degrees Celsius. What terrifying enthusiasm!
Jing He, scrolling through his phone that evening, couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and embarrassment at these comments.
Have they all been bribed by Ah Xi Da?
Based on these statements alone, Jing He felt like he could challenge the Champion single-handedly.
And many online believed every word they said.
For instance, Ah Chao from the Ocean Team.
When he read Xi Ba and Master Mathis's comments, Ah Chao broke out in a cold sweat.
He felt a sense of relief.
Thankfully, he had run fast enough.
This person is a top-tier martial artist? He looks so frail, unlike the typical physique of the elite martial artists he's seen.
But maybe he's just good at hiding it.
At the same time, Ah Chao understood why Jing He's wild battle experience and abilities were so impressive.
Top-tier martial artists are monsters; they train alongside Pokemon and even fight alongside them, making moves like Bear Hug and Rock Smash seem ordinary.
How could someone like that not excel in wild battles?
"Thank goodness I stayed far away and didn't give him a chance to attack," Ah Chao thought.
The next day.
On the fourth day of Kira Kyi's awakening, and the third day of Jing He's challenge at the Battle Frontier, he made a surprising decision.
Divide and conquer!
He planned to challenge both the Battle Palace and the Battle Factory simultaneously!
Because.
The rules of the Battle Palace state that Trainers can only send out three Pokemon, with the sole right to switch but no command authority. The outcome of the battle solely depends on the Pokemon's performance.
Battling without the Trainer's commands?
What's the point of battling then?
Losing would make the Pokemon lose confidence in themselves, and winning would make the Trainer feel useless.
Isn't this a lose-lose situation, no matter the outcome?
Fortunately, Jing He was used to this, as his "Lawless Squad" often went out for midnight feasts without his command, and they still managed to perform well.
So, Jing He decided to send out Gramps, Gigaforg, and Bear Apprentice—the "Ghost Bear Hammer" team.
Gramps led the way, wearing sunglasses and waving as he strode towards the Battle Palace.
Behind him followed Gigaforg, carrying a large hammer and swinging her twin ponytails, and Bear Apprentice, with an extremely serious expression.
"Giggle~! (■_■)"
Gramps, donning sunglasses, waved his hand and marched towards the Battle Palace.
Follow me, my friends!
Gigaforg was the first to 'collaborate' with Gramps; their 'Hypnosis Hammer Sleep' combination had once struck fear into the hearts of countless wild and stray Pokemon.
She followed, taking small steps and mimicking Gramps's movements.
"Kukaa!"
Bear Apprentice's expression was even more serious than during yesterday's Battle Colosseum match. He called out to Jing He with utmost seriousness.
In his eyes,
This division of forces was a sign of trust in them!
I will defeat the enemy and reclaim the enemy's emblem!
Jing He's mouth twitched.
"Go on, then."
Hearing this, Bear Apprentice hurriedly quickened his pace to catch up with Gramps and Gigaforg.
"Kukaa!! ε=ε=┌(>_<)┘"
Wait for me!
Thankfully, Gramps and Gigaforg weren't moving too fast, and Bear Apprentice soon caught up, forming the "Iron Triangle."
Should they say something?
These three little creatures actually exuded a sense of leading an army.
As they gradually disappeared from sight, Jing He sighed softly.
"I hope nothing goes wrong."
"Don't worry, Teacher," Da Wu said.
"Yeah, it's good for the Pokemon to go out and explore on their own," Yasha added.
"Besides, with Gramps's strength, there's nothing to worry about."
Jing He glanced at her and said calmly,
"I'm worried about the Battle Palace."
???
The three of them exchanged glances.
That makes sense!
"Hope..." Du Juan opened his mouth but couldn't find the right words for a moment, so he smiled awkwardly and added,
"...the Battle Palace doesn't get demolished."
In the special episode, Mirat chose not to watch his challenge at the Battle Palace because he was too worried.
Jing He felt the same, so he didn't watch either.
But their reasons for not watching were slightly different.
After seeing off Gramps, Gigaforg, and Bear Apprentice, Jing He and the others arrived at another Battle Facility.
The Battle Factory!
In the Battle Palace, Trainers cannot give commands.
The rules of the Battle Factory are rental battles, requiring almost no Pokemon from the Trainers themselves.
"Where's Kira Kyi?"
As Jinghe approached the entrance of the Battle Factory, he noticed a small figure was missing.
"He's probably with Gramps and the others," Da Wu said.
Jinghe touched his forehead.
Oh well.
It wasn't easy for the little one to wake up, and if he wanted to play or see something, it was up to him.
So.
They entered the Battle Factory.
The Battle Factory utilized a rental battle system, where challengers could randomly rent three Pokemon and challenge trainers with randomly drawn Pokemon.
Upon winning, challengers could exchange one of their team members with one of the opponent's Pokemon.
After achieving a certain number of consecutive victories, challengers could then face the Battle Factory's leader, Dala.
When facing Dala, challengers could choose from their own Pokemon and the three rented Pokemon they had acquired along the way.
Finally, they would decide on the Pokemon to use in battle.
Although the Battle Factory often involved using non-owned Pokemon, the popularity of the battles remained high.
This was mainly due to the Battle Factory's emphasis on complete randomness.
Random Pokemon, random opponents, and random held items—the excitement of the unknown and the spectacle of strategizing for success captivated everyone.
"This is the ultimate test of tactics in a battle facility, right?"
"It seems like Teacher Jinghe can giggle and kill at will! Are there any rules more suitable for this 'old grump' than this?"
"But it also tests your luck."
"True, no matter how good your tactics are, if you're unlucky and draw six King Carps..."
"Six King Carps? Teacher Jinghe says, two steamed, two stir-fried, and two braised!"
". "
The symbol of the Battle Factory was the Knowledge Emblem.
Rental battles, especially with complete randomness, demanded a high level of knowledge from trainers.
"Teacher Jinghe, these are your six random Pokemon. You can choose three to battle with."
A staff member handed Jinghe six Poke Balls and a very simple list detailing the six Pokemon.
"Our academy even has 12-choose-3 rental battles, but here it's only 6-choose-3, and the information provided about the Pokemon is minimal," he thought to himself.
He then looked at the Poke Balls.
Inside were six Pokemon: King Carp, Voltorb, Musharna, Ralts, Muk, and Snorunt.
"Hahaha! There really is a King Carp!"
"Too bad there's only one."
"To draw King Carp out of so many Pokemon, Teacher Jinghe's luck is off the charts!"
"It's proven, Teacher Jinghe's Luck Emblem is fake!"
". "
This live stream was highly entertaining.
No matter which of these Pokemon was chosen, it would be a challenging start.
Although the viewers were Jinghe's fans, they were also critical, enjoying moments when their favorite streamer stumbled. The chat was filled with mocking laughter.
Jinghe pursed his lips.
If it weren't for Xiada watching beside him, Jinghe would have suspected the Battle Factory staff of setting him up.
He felt like he was playing a game, just leaving the confines of Violet City.
However, after quickly browsing through the basic information of these Pokemon, Jinghe's eyes lit up.
This could be interesting.
"Then I'll choose these three."
Jinghe picked up three Poke Balls and said, "I'll take these three."
They were Voltorb, Musharna, and Snorunt.
"I feel like I could catch these three Pokemon right outside my door."
"They want Teacher Jinghe to experience a 'normal person's' battle."
"Teacher Jinghe, it's time to showcase your true tactics!"
"What if I want to see Teacher Jinghe use Musharna to dominate?"
". "
Facing the mocking comments flooding the live chat, Jinghe let out a cold laugh.
"Watch closely, today Teacher Jinghe will give you a lesson in tactics and show you how to speedrun the Battle Factory."
The chat was soon filled with comments like "He's still trying" and "He's still standing."
But soon.
Some viewers noticed something odd as the challenge began.
"Wait! Is that a Voltorb with the Prankster Ability?"
"Wow, the Prankster Ability... I can't believe it."
"Will-O-Wisp? A three-level Special Attack boost? How is there such a broken Pokemon?!"
So.
The chat was flooded with accusations of "insider information."
"Whoa—after the baton pass, Musharna is indeed sweeping with its power!"
"Can Musharna sweep?"
"How do they have so many Berries to eat? It feels like they're cheating!"
Jinghe's response to these questions was simple.
"Snorunt's Ability is Pickup."
This was the team's sustainability guarantee.
"It's over, he's really going all out!"
"No, can Voltorb, Musharna, and Snorunt sweep like this?"
"I'm done! I'm going to catch these three Pokemon right now!"
