Pokémon: Yiyun Tianxia

"What?! You have already received the support of the Kairos tribe?!" Elder Flying Mantis asked in disbelief.

"Yes. They are now guarding the Paras tribe." Fan Yi said matter-of-factly.

"How could it be?! How did you convince that old stubborn leader of Kairos?!"

"Elder Feitian Mantis, you don't need to know this. Besides, what do you think now?" Fan Yi said with a smile when he saw Elder Feitian Mantis' shocked look.

As for why Kairos was able to convince the leader of their tribe, there is actually a very simple reason.

This reason can also explain why every Pokémon group is very greedy for the mushrooms of the Paras group, but no group has been willing to really dare to try to monopolize them.

The reason lies in the mutual checks and balances between the four major ethnic groups in the forest frontier, and each ethnic group has its own evil intentions.

If any ethnic group dares to take advantage of the Paras mushrooms, then this ethnic group will inevitably face attacks from the other three major ethnic groups.

Therefore, no ethnic group has ever dared to touch this sweet potato, and no ethnic group has ever dared to break this check and balance situation.

Of course, it can also happen if the four forces unite in two or two, or form three tribes to vigorously drive away one force. But this will create too much uncertainty and lead to earth-shaking changes in the forces in the entire forest frontier zone. As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam compete, the fisherman benefits. (Knowledge of game theory will be used here.)

If two groups unite, it means that the four ethnic groups will quarrel and fight. It would be okay if these four parties were divided into strong and weak ones. But what a coincidence is that the strength of the four ethnic groups is almost the same.

This means that if the four ethnic groups fight against each other, they will only end up in a bloody fight, and neither ethnic group will benefit. Even if one alliance wins, the Paras mushrooms obtained are far from enough to make up for the losses in the war. Not to mention whether there will be betrayal or another fight after the victory of the two alliances. In short, the result will be more than worth the loss.

As for the full strength of the three clans, the situation is more complicated if they unite to eliminate one clan first. To put it simply, you cannot ensure that which ethnic group is isolated and excluded, so there will be suspicions and concerns between each ethnic group. At that time, due to changes in the situation, this isolated ethnic group is likely to change. So this creates a lot of uncertainty for the league. Even less reliable.

So why can Fan Yi and the others break this deadlock?

That's because the four major ethnic groups originally competed with each other, and it was difficult to determine a winner.

But the appearance of Fanyi and the others means that a variable has appeared in this balanced situation, a variable that is enough to affect the entire situation.

What was the biggest problem that prevented the original combination of two from succeeding?

If the forces are of the same strength, the fight will end in a bloody battle. The Paras mushrooms obtained cannot make up for this loss.

But due to the addition of Fan Yi and others, the balance of strength has changed and shifted. Obviously, the alliance with Fan Yi joining will be stronger than the other.

why?

Is it because of the strength and quantity of Pokémon?

Obviously not! It's because of the ever-changing methods at Fan Yi's disposal.

For example?

For example, Fan Yi and his Pokémon have multiple attributes and multiple attack surfaces.

The biggest problem for an ethnic group is uniformity. Once this ethnic group encounters an ethnic group with conflicting attributes, it will be a devastating blow to this ethnic group.

And because the Pokémon that are the main force in the forest frontier area are insect-type.

Therefore, the fire-attributed Delubi and the flying-attributed Supersonic Bat in Fan Yi's hands are both extremely powerful thugs. It can provide a lot of help in terms of strength. Reduce the pressure on the frontal battlefield.

After talking about strength, we have to mention other means.

For example, the teleportation of Mortal and Gothic Baby can achieve the effect of surprise attack, and telepathy can achieve the effect of multiple commands and control of the situation. Better respond to rapidly changing situations.

Another example is Moo Niu's logistical supplies; the protection of Gothic Baby's three major barriers of light, reflection wall, and mysterious guardian; and the status of walking grass.

These may seem like minor influencing factors, but in this balance of power deadlock, they can achieve miraculous results in breaking the situation.

These are all effects of strength. Second, let’s talk about the impact of resource compensation.

Due to the addition of Fan Yi's forces, the deadlock became a viable situation. Although the loss will be a little less than before. But overall, the Paras mushroom cannot make up for it.

Therefore, the variables on Fanyi's side are to provide the function of making up for losses. Promise this alliance and give them more resources, so that this alliance will have more confidence, confidence and courage to fight, break this deadlock, and provoke this dispute.

Since the other alliance does not have these resources to make up for it, it will be relatively weak. If we were to be tougher, it would be a big war! If you are just a little bit weak, you will have no choice but to compromise.

This is due to the different power and confidence of the two alliances.

This is the charm of turning a deadlock into a viable situation, and this is the horror of adding variables.

So this is why Elder Flying Mantis was so shocked. Because Elder Feitian Mantis understands these principles very well. However, due to the fact that such a pair of variables has not appeared for many years, even if it does appear, it cannot connect the two groups.

Kairos also relayed the powerful relationship to his leader based on the information Fan Yi told him. The most critical point is that Fan Yi lied that he had the support of the Flying Mantis tribe.

Only then did leader Kairos make up his mind.

(In fact, this principle is a bit like the story of the homeless man who reached the top of his life by relying on two phone calls.)

"So Elder Flying Mantis, you have been silent for so long. What do you think?" Fan Yi asked with a smile.

"Are you sure the Kairos tribe is already guarding the Paras tribe?" Elder Flying Mantis still couldn't accept the reality.

But this is also in line with common sense. Who knew that the situation in the forest frontier that had been stalemate for hundreds of years would be broken by such a few human children.

"I'm sure." Fan Yi affirmed again, strengthening the determination of Elder Flying Mantis.

"So I think I have no reason to refuse. But I want to know the conditions, the alliance's conditions and yours." Elder Feitian Mantis stared at Fan Yi seriously.

Obviously this time, the eyes of Elder Flying Mantis were less disdainful and more incredulous and respectful.

"The conditions are easy to talk about."
