Forget Pokemon, Strike at the Trainers!

"Mr. Xueliu, you're the strongest Trainer of this era, with an incredible undefeated record since your debut. Do you have any advice for newcomers?"

"Of course. First, you need to learn every Pokemon's moves and Abilities. Know yourself and your opponent, and you'll never lose a battle."

"Right, right. Anything else?"

"Then find a way around them and take down the Trainer directly."

"?"

"Compared with taking on six fully equipped Pokemon, attacking the Trainer directly is obviously more efficient."

[Pokemon fan fiction, set in the Pokémon Adventures universe. The male lead is an exceptionally powerful Trainer from Pallet Town.]
