No.290 On the combat qualities of marathon runners

Under the gaze of Charizard's big eyes full of "want to fight", the sturdy boy standing opposite Xiao Ye took out the Poke Ball without hurrying.

As a veteran of the glamorous competition, Daiki Hiraoka will not be affected by the atmosphere of the arena for a long time. After seeing that the Pokémon on the opposite side was not like an easy character to deal with, he immediately sent out a water-type Pokémon with attributes to restrain Charizard.

"Claw crab, please!"

Daiki's giant claw crab has the style of a coordinator's partner. The hard shell is brightly colored, and the concave and convex arcs are also graceful and smooth, and it is obvious that it has been carefully polished by the beautician. In comparison, Charizard is a complete rough guy, not only is he never beautiful, but he also grins to make his face uglier.

After the referee signaled the start of the game, Daiki took the lead in giving the order, "Bubble Light!"

The giant claw crab opened its pincers, and powerful blisters erupted, but instead of aiming at Charizard, it smashed straight down on the ice. The ice mist and water mist suddenly mixed and spread, covering half of the field, and the figure of the giant pincer crab also disappeared, causing the fire-breathing dragon that was about to breathe fire to quickly brake and turn into a fire-sucking dragon.

"Oh, this is really a gorgeous scene!" The small Xiaoice particles reflected the sun's rays, making the commentator can't help but admire, "Dahui is worthy of being a person with three years of experience as a coordinator." The giant pincer crab hid its body with the help of ice mist, did it want to wait for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack?"

Xiao Ye glanced at Charizard, whose face was blushing and his neck was thick, and decided to test it as conservatively as usual.

"The Oath of Fire. ”

As the words fell, many pillars of fire broke through the ice, and the hot wind and red light instantly engulfed the entire field, burning the mist clean. The pincer crab was gliding silently on the ice, and the sudden change of ground made it stunned for a moment, and when it looked up, it saw that Charizard's grinning face was almost attached to its shell.

"Iron Tail. ”

"Hoohoo!"

The glittering silver tail slammed into the crab's face, causing it to roll and fly out. Dahui didn't have time to feel sorry for whether there were a few more cracks on the shell of the giant claw crab, and immediately said: "Hold on!"

The giant pincer crab that was still hanging in the air immediately opened its green light shield, which was able to block the ensuing flame fist. Charizard's attack was temporarily stopped, and the giant pincer crab took the opportunity to land steadily, taking advantage of the smooth ice surface to make a few spins and open the distance.

Daiki knew that although the Giant Claw Crab had great strength, it was far less agile than Charizard with wings, and it was difficult for him to gain an advantage in hand-to-hand combat. In contrast, mid-range combat is the best choice.

Charizard is highly mobile in the air and cannot be easily hit, so if you want to limit its movement......

"Giant claw crab, use the crab claw hammer to lift the ice!"

The giant claw crab swung its heavy pincers, and the ice surface was easily pierced like tofu. With the strength of the giant claw crab, the huge ice cube was completely lifted and turned into a thick ice wall standing in the middle.

Of course, the battlefield of the Quartz Alliance cannot be some kind of tofu scum project. Being able to lift the ice surface upside down is enough to show how amazing the strength of the giant pincer crab is.

"Okay, just like that, ...... tempted"

"Big words burst into flames. ”

Daiki's instructions in a low voice were stuck in the middle of the process, and his expression, which had been calm, froze.

He instructed the Giant Pincer Crab to create such a huge ice shield in order to induce Charizard to bypass obstacles, making Charizard's flight trajectory more predictable and convenient for long-range strikes. He didn't think Charizard would have to go through such a thick block of ice, but he listened to the other party's instructions...... Don't......

A loud rumbling sound interrupted Daiki's thoughts. The crimson flames were viciously embedded in the ice wall, and the high temperature instantly melted the ice and snow. Then came the second shot, the third shot - the fire type of great move was thrown out by Charizard almost without intervals, and before everyone was still stunned, the flames had already burned to the giant claw crab.

Without waiting for Daiki to call out the instructions for defense, Xiaoya's next order arrived quickly.

"Overheating. ”

The large-character flame was replaced with a pillar of flame light as dazzling as the sun. The blazing wind and heat wave rose on the ground, and the audience had to close their eyes temporarily. And when everything subsided, the scalded red giant pincer crab had fallen like a boiled crab in a daze between the snow and the broken ice.

Daiki: "......"

Audience: "......"

Xiaojie, who just walked into the sports field: "......"

The second round of the fight was randomly assigned at half past eight in the morning. He checked everyone's match time last night, and after breaking through the second leg efficiently, he immediately ran to the next D, intending to watch Xiao Ye's match.

Then as soon as you enter the door, you can see Charizard blasting indiscriminately at an unlucky crab.

Rao couldn't help but shed a few drops of cold sweat with Xiaojie's nerve tenacity. He used to fight against Xiao Ye, and he never thought that Xiao Ye was such a violent and crazy painting style......

Could it be that something has stimulated me lately?

On the field, "the veteran of the gorgeous competition who will not be affected by the atmosphere of the game" opened his mouth slightly, showing a somewhat sluggish expression very ungorgeously. And in tune with his soul are the countless spectators present.

Yes, being able to melt the ice wall and inflict lethal damage on the Claw Crab in one go is certainly remarkable, and only a fairly powerful fire move can do it, which is enough to show that Charizard has a hard power that far surpasses that of the Claw Crab. But......

It is obviously much more labor-saving than direct and indiscriminate bombing. And I'm afraid it was all hurt just now......

Looking at the large pit at the other end of the field that was melted by the flames, Xiao Ye, one of the initiators, also quietly revealed a speechless look behind his sunglasses. She knew that Charizard had been overactive in the past few days, and she had long wanted to vent by fighting a lot, but she didn't expect this brother to vent so much as soon as she vented, and Xiaoye had to suspect that it didn't eat early, it was a bomb.

Charizard, who had spewed enough fire, was satisfied, and before he could ask for another fight, he was taken back into the Poké Ball by Saya. Seeing the mad fire dragon fall, Daiki on the other side breathed a sigh of relief visibly and sent out his second Pokémon long-tailed monster hand.

Sayo had seen this Pokémon in Daiki's Gorgeous Contest video before, and it was usually in charge of the display of the first round of the Gorgeous Tournament review, and had not participated in the Gorgeous Battle. Sayo thought for a moment and threw out a Poké Ball that spooked Pichu in his pocket.

The little snow boy appeared in the middle of the field in the light, looking left and right curiously, not at all nervous because of the large number of people. On the contrary, Pichu was so nervous that his hair exploded, and he quickly poked Xiaoye with his tail several times, "Master, did you throw the wrong ball?

Standing within range of the megaphone, it was inconvenient for Xiao Ya to speak, so she could only reach out and touch two handfuls of Pichu's fluff to soothe it. Look at the Snow Boy again...... Hey, where's the Snow Boy?

Xiao Ye looked up sharply, and was stunned to see the snow boy running to the opposite half. The referee, who hadn't waved the flag yet, thought that the snow boy wanted to attack, and was about to stop it, but he didn't know what to do when he saw its subsequent actions.

Snow Boy didn't even notice that he was being stared at by tens of thousands of spectators, and happily braked in front of the long-tailed monster and stuffed something in his hand into the long-tailed monster hand. Without waiting for the dazed little monkey to react, Snow Boy rushed to the trainer of the long-tailed monster hand and shoved the same thing into the boy's hand.

After doing this series of actions, the Snow Boy happily waved his little hand and jumped twice, and ran back to his half of the court with a smoke. Dahui and the long-tailed monster looked at each other with the round Xiaoice sphere in their hands, completely confused by this set of operations.

As the trainer of the Snow Boy, Xiao Ye was very unprofessionally stuck for several seconds before she had difficulty guessing what the Snow Boy meant. It looks like a cute Xiaoice ball...... Is it a gift for friends who are meeting for the first time?

As Xiao Ye racked his brains, several ice hockey balls were piled up at the referee's feet. Before leaving, he didn't forget to show a big innocent smile to the referee, and the smile made people's hearts melt, so that the referee holding the flag in both hands didn't know whether he should throw the flag to take the ice hockey puck or plant the flag on the ice hockey puck.

…… No, hold your flag tightly and don't give up!

Sensing the referee's vacillation from afar, Xiao Ye hurriedly handed over a powerful look and beckoned Snow Boy to come back.

And then I got a hand full of ice balls without any surprise.

Snow Boy's behavior left everyone on the field scratching their heads, but the commentator and the audience laughed happily together, and the photographer dutifully gave a close-up of the ice hockey - not to mention, the ice ball made by Snow Boy was terrifyingly round, more round than Xiao Ye could draw in an hour.

After a turn, the game always starts again.

After the referee's flag was waved, the long-tailed monster reluctantly lowered the slippery Xiaoice ball and rushed towards the snow boy, and the orange-yellow fighting energy was already wrapped around the tail. And the snow boy still looked ignorant, blinking and standing in place, as if he didn't know what to do.

In preparation for the Quartz Alliance's special training, Sayo didn't ask Snow Boy to participate in actual battles that he didn't like. Snow Boy only strengthened his physical fitness through a lot of exercise, and learned two defensive moves under the guidance of Xiao Ye. It's not good at attacking at all, and it hasn't even learned the ice beam, which is the signature of the ice system, and its combat experience is almost zero. Saya hadn't thought about sending it out to the tournament, but perhaps out of curiosity, the little Snow Boy was so inquisitive about the tournaments that trainers and fellow Pokémon often mentioned that he asked Ying to try it.

Facing the little guy's longing eyes, Xiao Ye naturally couldn't say anything to refuse. Although the Snow Boy is not good at fighting, the Quartz Alliance Tournament is not a struggle for survival in the jungle, and the fighting style is much gentler, as long as the opponent is not a very tricky powerhouse, it is completely possible for the Snow Boy to appear on the stage to experience the atmosphere of a big competition. With Charizard in charge, Xiao Ye doesn't have to worry about winning or losing.

And for the Snow Boy who has never fought, the most appropriate instruction is undoubtedly -

"Snow boy, run. ”

The ignorant Snow Boy heard Xiao Ye's voice, as if he had found the backbone of the Lord, and immediately ran away. The long-tailed monster's tile-splitting move had been brewing for most of the time, but he was depressed to find that the other party slipped faster than the little Lada, and it ran wildly with all its strength and couldn't catch up with the snow boy.

"Long-tailed monster hand, move at high speed!"

As soon as the acceleration move was activated, the long-tailed monster took out the wind under his hands and feet, and took out ten percent of the speed of running and jumping through the jungle, as if his feet were not on smooth ice, but on the grass to which he was most accustomed.

However...... Still can't catch up.

Under Daiki's instructions, the long-tailed monster changed several moves. The shadow ball was thrown out and missed, the high-speed movement and Yan Hui's sprint could not catch up, and the high-speed star that was bound to hit was sent out, and even the star was unscientifically left far behind. Looking at the snow boy who was running around the field as if he was running a marathon, the long-tailed monster hand was completely dumbfounded.

The Snow Boy was born in the snow-capped mountains, where the ice is the most comfortable place for him. Though...... Sayo didn't expect it to run so steadily and persistently, maybe it was because he played the running wheel with Pichu all day a while ago, so he exercised the leg strength of a marathon runner......

"Snow Boy, fight back with the freezing wind. ”

Xiao Ye tentatively asked Snow Boy to take the initiative to attack. The little guy braked sharply and stood still, spewing a stream of cold air mixed with ice particles at the long-tailed monster hand chasing after him.

The long-tailed monster hand had no time to turn and rushed straight into the range of the Frozen Wind. It shivered and stiffened.

If it was a fighting expert like Charizard who was present, he would definitely take advantage of the victory to chase and increase the firepower, but when Snow Boy saw the trembling appearance of the long-tailed monster's hand, he hesitated to stop the attack, and his little face was full of unbearable color.

The long-tailed monster who had successfully broken through the frozen wind in a daze was still a little puzzled, and when he saw that the snow boy had finally stopped, he immediately pounced on it with great joy, his tail clenched into a fist, the orange light was shining, and the energy value of the splitting tile even hit a record high. Seeing that the fist was about to greet the Snow Boy's face, Xiao Ye hurriedly added the sentence "Keep running", and the Snow Boy woke up like a dream, turned around and ran lifeless again.

The long-tailed monster's fierce punch only hit the ice. Looking at the snow boy running farther and farther, the hapless long-tailed monster hand burst into tears, feeling that he was about to be overwhelmed by despair.

Also、How long do you have to chase it??

Due to Snow Boy's Qingqi "playing style", the battle fell into a very strange situation. The two Pokémon chased and fled, and the one they chased couldn't hit the target, and the attack that escaped couldn't stop the other party, so they had to run around the field together and round and round together, turning the battle into a marathon competition.

Half an hour later.

"Both sides...... At the same time losing the ability to fight, a tie. ”

Looking at the two Pokémon lying panting on the ice and tired into dead dogs, the referee raised the flag in his hand with sweat on his head.

The audience was silent.
