Chapter 312 - 312: Desperate Counterattack
Upon hearing their words, Miyamoto nearly spat blood in their faces.
"If my strength hadn't diminished so much, would I need to be held back by this bunch of incompetents?"
The situation was becoming more and more unfavorable. The long period of concentration needed to direct his four Pokémon in battle was starting to take a toll, and he felt he could no longer keep up with the fight.
The enemies weren't even trying for a direct attack. They preferred to avoid frontal combat and wear down his Pokémon slowly.
In particular, the group's leader had the ability to restrain two of his Pokémon but chose to send only one into battle, keeping the other by his side for protection, while also watching over his three "companions."
The three who followed Nakajima's orders understood this as well. After surviving three months on the Trial Island, none of them fully trusted each other.
"He who hoards too much, loses in the end."
Suddenly, Miyamoto made a mistake in directing his Pokémon, and Nakajima, who had been patiently waiting, seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.
He sacrificed one of his companion's Pokémon to defeat Miyamoto's Machoke.
The situation changed drastically.
Although both sides had lost a Pokémon, Miyamoto had lost his main one, while Nakajima and his team had only lost an insignificant one.
