Elemental Hero Stratos --> Bottomless Trap Hole ... Pulling the Rug?
Player A have "Pulling the rug" set.
Player A summon "Elemental Hero Stratos", use their priority to activate the optional effect (search for a e-hero monster)
Player B activate "Bottomless Trap Hole" on "Elemental Hero Stratos"
Can Player A activate "Pulling the rug" on their own stratos to avoid that it is removed from game?.
Answer:
Player A cannot activate "Pulling the Rug" at this time.
Counter Trap Cards need to be activated in response to whatever it is they will negate (counter).
If Player A wanted to use "Pulling the Rug", they would need to chain it to the effect of "Elemental Hero Stratos". Since their opponent activated "Bottomless Trap Hole", this is not possible. If they want to activate a Counter Trap Card in this situation, it would need to be a Counter Trap Card like "Seven Tools of the Bandit" or another Trap Card that can negate the activation/effects of the "Bottomless Trap Hole".
