In the hustle and bustle of the arena, there was silence in the ears of the brown-haired boy in a fighting uniform.

His mind was extremely concentrated, and there was nothing in his eyes except the arena that had been steamed crookedly in the midsummer heat, and not even the roar of the narrator could reach his brain.

Ever since joining the Aikawa Fighting Dojo and losing badly in his first bout with Asaka Matsuda, Shibayama has been looking to defeat his young plum. With countless failures repeating itself, this desire has almost turned into an obsession. However, at this time, he seemed to have forgotten who his opponent was, and he had forgotten that he had been unwilling to despair for a year, and only tactical analysis was flowing in his mind with extreme calm.

Asaka's Yukira was much lighter than Haoli's, and it was more at ease than the panting Haoli—just like the same calm girlish trainer it was.

As if he didn't feel the pressure from his opponent's confidence, the boy gave a clear order, "Burst Fist!"

Haoli roared and sprinted forward, his orange fist striking at Ryakira with swift and powerful force.

Without Asaka's instructions, Yuakira had already cast a teleportation spontaneously, lightly avoiding Hao's onslaught of blows. This scenario has played out many times in this battle - although he doesn't have the same strong body as Haoli, Yukira, who is skilled at teleportation, is far more agile than Haoli, and will not be hit by such a straightforward move.

And just as Haoli's fist was swung, Yongjira's body flashed with colorful light, and just disappeared in place, Dazhi suddenly shouted, "Right rear, shoot down!"

Haoli stepped on his feet and catapulted out in the opposite direction without warning. The palm wrapped in pitch-black energy slammed down, striking Yunkira's shoulder as it reappeared.

The evil attack caused Yukira to fall unexpectedly, and the silver key in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp clang.

The audience let out a burst of exclamations, but Dazhi's mind was clear. He'd fought against Asaka too many times, enough to fully understand all the habits of the other side's fighting. However, in the past, he was too obsessed with winning and losing, and was better at rampage than meticulous planning, and never turned his understanding of Asaka into an advantage in battle. It was the first time he had tried to read Yunkira's teleportation point first—and when he thought so, all his past experiences flooded out and chained together in such an orderly manner that he almost instinctively "predicted" where the other person was.

The girl's blue eyes widened in surprise, and the boy's next instruction had arrived, "Hell roll!"

Haoli didn't give Yongjira any time to react, and his strong hands firmly bound the opponent's arms. Seeing that the situation was not good, Asaka finally brought a little urgency in her tone, "Spirit Tornado!"

Yongkira's eyes lit up, and a whirlwind of spiritual power enveloped the two Pokémon.

The Spiritual Dragon Scroll is Matsuda Asaka's most powerful self-created skill, and in his heyday, Yukira used this move to directly kill the heroic power of the fighting system. But now, the whirlwind rolling up on the field seemed dim, as if it could be shattered at any moment.

The girl immediately realized that it wasn't because Yukira was badly injured, but because the silver spoon it had used to amplify her superpowers had come off.

Yunkira is a very intelligent Pokémon, and Asaka is sure that she will do her best to get the silver spoon back without having to give it an order herself. But the hands that bound it were as steady as Mount Tai, and there was not the slightest sign of loosening, so that it could not get out no matter what.

The deadly spiritual power was like a wind blade, leaving scars on Haoli's body. And it withstood the sharp pain around it without saying a word, and suddenly spun with the power of the spirit tornado. In the blooming orange light, Haoli unleashed all his power with an unstoppable force, and the two Pokémon with intertwined bodies were like whirling meteorites, crashing into the hard ground.

Sweat dripped into the boy's eyes, which were already very sour. And he didn't dare to blink at all, staring at the blurred black shadow in the smoke and dust.

The next moment, the dust cleared. When he saw Yongjira, who had fallen to the ground, and Haoli, who was still standing, the young man, who had been unusually calm before, was suddenly stunned.

He seemed to realize in hindsight that he was standing on the stage of the Quartz Alliance, competing with his childhood sweetheart, and-

Won the battle.

Many viewers saw that Shibayama Daishi, who was extremely calm and decisive during the battle, suddenly fell to his knees and cried hoarsely, as if he wanted to release all the unwillingness and depression accumulated in his body. As the tears flowed down without an image, he was thinking not of a glorious future after victory, but of a past that belonged to them.

At that time, the immature boy was reckless but seriously swore to the girl that he would "protect you". And today, the teenager finally has the qualifications to fulfill his promise.

On the other side, Asaka retracted the unconscious Yukira. The defeat in the round of 16 was not a good result for the seeded players, but there was no frustration on her face, and her blue eyes flashed with emotion and joy.

The black-haired girl stepped down from the command seat, walked through the battlefield step by step, and then smiled and gently hugged the crying teenager.

"Thank you. She said.

Audience.

When Haoli used the winning blow, Xiao Ye and his party were still immersed in the heart-wrenching battle. And when the battle was over, the two trainers on the field began to perform a series of very shining maneuvers in full view...... The trench coat men had to congratulate themselves on wearing sunglasses.

Xiao Ye helped his sunglasses with a serious face, and looked at the same serious-looking Kusama Kyoji who was sitting diagonally behind him, and suddenly felt that everyone might have blamed him before. It's not that his investigative intelligence is too detailed and off-track, but it's ...... The signs that these two people "may be about to become a couple" are too conspicuous.

"Hmm, a combination of 'superpowers and fighters'...... Seems a bit like our mom and dad?" Xiaojie looked at his sister while playing a game of ice hockey with the snow boy in his arms.

"Coincidentally, both of you have faced off against each other in major tournaments. Yuan Zheng interjected, "I remember it was in the Orange Islands? It turned out to be a different match, your father was beaten and rolled all over the ground. ”

The golden retriever brother and sister both showed half-moon eyes that were "so inferior but not unexpected". On the other side, Xinghai seemed to remember something, and a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Before Xiao Ye could figure out what Xinghai's smile meant, she heard the old man say in a straight voice, "Then that kid confessed to your mother." ”

Sayo: "......"

Xiaotian: "......"

Golden Retriever Brother and Sister: "......???"

"Wait, wait a minute, grandpa. Xiao Ling couldn't help but make a pause gesture, "Didn't Dad roll on the ground with a loss, why are you embarrassed to confess??"

Seeing that Yuan Zheng cleared his throat and seemed to be about to start a tirade about memory killing, Xiao Ye hurriedly tugged on Xiao Ling's sleeve, "Xiao Ling, it's your turn to play." ”

“…… All right. The blonde girl hesitated, nodded reluctantly, and repeatedly instructed her grandfather to continue to talk about gossip after the game, and only after getting permission did she leave the audience with confidence.

And her brother thought about it, and decisively stopped talking about this indescribable topic, and instead said, "Xiaoling's opponent...... It's really Xiaoyun, right?" he tilted his head back and looked upside down at the dark green-haired young man in the back seat, "Kiriha, what do you think?"

As Xiaoyun's travel companion for nearly half a year, Tong Ye obviously knows her very well, and opened his mouth to say, "Xiaoyun is good at playing with big opening and closing, both offensive and defensive, if she controls the rhythm of the battle, it will be difficult for ordinary people to suppress her." However......" Looking at the green-haired girl who had already stepped onto the command seat opposite, Kiripa shook her head slightly, "Her weakness is flexibility, and Xiaoling is very good at this. If my prediction is correct, I'm afraid ......"

On the sports field, the green-haired girl who was full of energy waved vigorously to Xiao Zhi, who was shouting and cheering, and threw a big smile to Kiripa in the distance, and then began to look at her opponent seriously.

The person standing opposite is actually very similar to Xiaoyun's physique, but the pure black trench coat and the bowler hat that covers his face invisibly add a sense of mystery that does not match his age. Xiao Yun shook his head thoughtfully, and suddenly shouted at the other party, "Hey, Mayrain player-"

The narrator, who was about to spit out an impassioned pre-war phrase, was startled, and the flowery rhetoric was also scared into a sneeze. The "Mayrain Contestant" was calm, and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with chatting across the battlefield, and immediately responded in a brisk tone, "What's the matter?"

"You know the other three people who are dressed the same, right?"

Xiao Ling blinked, looked back at the trench coat men sitting not far behind her, and replied honestly, "Yes, we are teammates on the same team. ”

When the green-haired girl heard this, she immediately pouted, not knowing what she was thinking about sullenly. Xiaoling wanted to ask "why did you suddenly ask this", but the referee had already waved the flag to the two of them, signaling the two sides not to have any more conversations unrelated to the game, and she had to bury the question in her heart for the time being.

The signal for the start of the battle was issued, and Xiao Ling, who attacked first, chose her general, Emperor Nabo, to take the lead. And Xiaoyun didn't even look at his opponent, and without hesitation, he sent out his strongest initial Pokémon, Miao Frog Flower, at the same time.

The turquoise Pokémon landed on all fours, making a dull sound, and the earth seemed to tremble. Perhaps because she has always been accompanied by the cultivator Kiriha, the wonderful frog flower has developed quite strongly, the petals on her back are as colorful as fire, and her height has also exceeded the racial average, I am afraid that she can sweep away the weak Pokémon with brute force alone.

"Wonderful Frog Flower, Flying Leaf Quick Knife!" Xiao Yun took the lead in issuing the attack command.

The blades emitted by the Miao Frog Flower were far larger than the ordinary Flying Leaf Blade, and the powerful Ye Feng carried a sharp qi and flew straight towards the opposite side. Xiao Ling then gave the instruction of "water jet", and Emperor Nabo, wrapped in the dark blue water, greeted him head-on without any fancy fancy.

The stiff wings collided with the blades, and Nabo's momentum was stopped, and he took a few steps back to maintain his balance. Xiao Ling rolled her eyes thoughtfully, "Tide Swirl!"

A huge cone-shaped whirlpool floated into the sky and pressed towards the frog flower. And Xiaoyun has been ignited by the hard encounter at the beginning, and said excitedly, "Chop it with Luoying Colorful!"

The snow-like falling flowers were blown up in a fluttering manner, and the overwhelming momentum was no less than that of the tide. And just before the two moves were about to collide head-on, the vortex suddenly collapsed.

Before Xiaoyun and Miao Frog Flower could react, the originally swirling water had strangely condensed into a straight line. All the power was concentrated on one point, and the water pierced the scattered defense line of Luoying like an arrow, and the lightning hit the forehead of the wonderful frog flower.

Small Theatre:

Golden Retriever Siblings: Dad, Dad, why do you want to confess to your mother when you lose a match? Is there any special strategy?

Yuan Qing: How is it possible, you lose miserably and don't have the face to confess at all.

Golden Retriever Brother and Sister: Hey, then why......

Yuanqing: (with a weak heart) Ahem, at that time, I looked at your mother and thought she was so charming, and she said what was in her heart without paying attention.

Golden Retriever Siblings: ...... (I want to change my dad today.jpg)
