Night. The sky was overcast with dark clouds. Fu Province was experiencing a much fiercer evening wind than usual, mixed with countless raindrops. The entire world suddenly grew dim. Black clouds rolled wildly, with streaks of silvery-white lightning flowing within them.

The ocean transformed from a docile Blissey into a violent Hydreigon. Towering, gigantic waves rose out of nowhere.

A red figure passed through the wind and rain. Its speed was extremely fast. A wall formed by gigantic waves blocked its path. A flash of pink light streaked across—Gardevoir's Psychic Power—and the gigantic waves suddenly parted in the middle, revealing a gap for it to fly through. The next instant, it vanished into the wind and rain. Its direction of advance was Fu Province.

Kaito's Calm Before the Storm

Bang! Bang! Bang! Accompanied by a sudden gust of wind, raindrops hit the window. Kaito sat at the table, listening to the rain while drinking warm Moomoo Milk. On a typhoon day in summer, drinking fresh hot milk in an air-conditioned room was a pleasure.

Castform, in its Rainy Form, silently absorbed the moisture in the air. Having a Castform indoors was equivalent to having an enhanced dehumidifier, a true blessing for southern families.

The Pokémon gathered together, enjoying some rainy-day mini-games. Bunnelby tried to use a "spell" to bring good luck to his dice roll in Pokémon Monopoly, but the die finally stopped on one dot. The surrounding Pokémon burst into laughter.

Kaito had recalled all the Pokémon, worried they might be affected by the severe typhoon. Even the usual patrol team was recalled. Only Aggron stayed in its mountain, perfectly safe.

Kaito picked up his phone to reply to Liu Xuan. He planned to establish his Research Institute next to his farm after the typhoon. He knew that adding a special building like a Research Institute would significantly increase his Territory Value.

He mused about what he could encounter after entering the mountains again: After the stormy weather, how about a meeting with Raikou, one of the Three Legendary Beasts? If I received another blessing, it would be amazing, allowing me to use the power of lightning.

Feeling refreshed, he opened Pokémon Battle, planning to play a round. It's stormy outside. Then I'll play a Sandstorm Team! Although weather team tactics exist in this world, Sandstorm Teams were relatively rare. Let me prove the potential of Sandstorm Teams to the world!

The Serious Battle

Start matching!

In a certain villa, Wang Chengfeng, a Gym Leader from Shu Province, was also matching. He was shocked to see his opponent's name: "i am not a master".

How could a Master be in this "Good" tier? He realized the Master rarely plays Pokémon Battle. Despite his initial panic, Wang Chengfeng decided to treat this battle seriously. He lost to the Master, and Long Yuling also lost to the Master—therefore, he is equal to Long Yuling!

Kaito recognized his opponent's name: Wang Chengfeng, a Gym Leader from Shu Province.

On the screen, Hippowdon stirred up a Sandstorm as soon as it appeared. The opposing Pangoro used Swords Dance, planning to boost its stats first, believing that a direct attack wouldn't cause effective damage.

Kaito knew his opponent's downfall was imminent. On the screen, Hippowdon let out a Roar, forcing the aggressive Pangoro back and replacing it with Houndour. As soon as the Fire-type Houndour entered the field, it was attacked by Stealth Rock, losing a portion of its HP. The Swords Dance advantage was gone.

Due to the huge difference in battle experience, Kaito managed to overwhelm Wang Chengfeng using only two Pokémon. Hippowdon's Stealth Rock, Slack Off, and Earthquake forced Wang Chengfeng to retreat step by step.

Later, Kaito released his other Pokémon to showcase the charm of the Sandstorm Team. The Sandstorm's spear—Excadrill and Garchomp—worked together. With the two cooperating, Wang Chengfeng's last Pokémon also fell to Excadrill.

"As expected of a Master~ Indeed, my fantasies were nothing more than wishful thinking," Wang Chengfeng mocked himself.

The Master's Serious Tactic

Kaito had just posted the update. Countless netizens who were active on PokéTube immediately noticed it. This time, it was the Pokémon Guessing Game series. The image showed a black circular pattern with no other hints.

While netizens were discussing, Kaito arrived at his farmland.

A Castform in its Sunny Form floated slowly over the farmland, occasionally letting down some rain. Meganium moved through the fields, promoting better crop Growth.

This time, the title wasn't an entertainment strategy? Long Yuling thought eagerly. Does that mean this strategy would be even more powerful?

The Master's new video was pushed to her homepage: "Serious Strategy: The Charm of the Sandstorm Team!"

Long Yuling's beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise. This time, the title wasn't an entertainment strategy! She naturally knew about Weather Teams, but the mainstream were always Rain and Sun Teams; few people played Sandstorm Teams.

Kaito's video completely elevated him to a new height. If the previous strategies had many limitations, this Sandstorm Team was a solid, serious strategy that could be fully applied in real battles and achieve excellent results.

As the video spread, Kaito was gaining fame, but he was also targeted by various people, both good and bad—well-known Elites and Champions, as well as some unknown underground forces.

However, as the center of the whirlwind, he put down his phone and went to bed, falling peacefully asleep. The wind and rain fell on the windows and the house, but they couldn't penetrate his room. This was true for both overt and covert movements.

Let the outside world rage, he remained unmoving.

Kaito has cemented his status as a serious tactical genius and is now aware of the imminent typhoon. What preparations will he make to ensure his farm and his Pokémon are safe from the impending storm, and how will he use his public identity to counter the shadowy underground forces?
