No.286 A spear of drizzle and a shield of sandstorms

According to legend, a thousand years ago, during the era known as the "Glorious Era", a world-wide war broke out. Wars swept through dozens of countries, ruthlessly destroying traces of civilization, and countless precious texts were lost in that era.

Many historians believe that there was a "fault" in human civilization at that time. There are very few books from the millennium that survive in the world today, and modern people do not even know why the war started a thousand years ago, nor do they know where the term "glorious era" came from.

Towards the end of the war, the mythical beasts flying in the sky brought new life to the earth, so people changed the Western calendar to the elven calendar, which is the beginning of many history books. If this event was a sign of the beginning of a new civilization, then the "old civilization" before that was almost nothing, with only scattered ruins reminding people that that era was real.

Among the classics that have been fortunate to be preserved, the oldest is an anonymous long poem. Written in the "Ubai hieroglyphs" that are difficult for modern people to decipher, it was most likely written 2,000 years ago or even more in the past, and is not only the oldest surviving poem, but also the key to modern people's search for the lost old civilization.

The original name of this precious poem is no longer known, and in modern times it is called "the poem of the ages". It seems to tell the grand legend of the ancient man's war with the alien race, but the content is obscure, and there are many controversies about its interpretation. The poem is divided into five chapters – "One Heart", "Ten Stars", "One Hundred Kingdoms", "One Thousand Sails" and "Eternal Ages", which seem to form a complete story when connected, but shuffling or taking out a separate chapter can also justify itself, and there are many ways to interpret it, which is one of the reasons why historians have tirelessly explored the true meaning of the poem.

Among them, the Thousand Sails chapter is usually interpreted as "passing through the thousands of sails". The battle in which Xiaotian obtained identity protection privileges happened to be related to the ancient ruins carved with long-standing poems, and the code name came from this.

- It's a pity that his companion has no literary bacteria at all, not only does no one think of the famous long-standing poem, Xiaoling also added a big grin, "Xiaotian, your code name is the same as the name of my three-year-old sister at the same table in elementary school."

made Xiao Tian not know for a while whether he should beat someone or change his name immediately.

The cheers of the crowd brought back Sayyo's thoughts, and the game had begun.

Xiaotian's opponent is named "Mizuno Bud Heart", twelve years old this year, and is a popular black straight girl. Unlike the opponents assigned to Saya, Mizuno Meishin is already an experienced freelance trainer, and the commentator has just mentioned that she has achieved excellent results in heavyweight events.

However, just by seeing Xinghai teasing Pichu with great interest, Xiao Ye knew that this opponent was not a problem for Xiao Tian.

"Mosquito coil, ask for rain. The black long straight girl gave instructions preemptively. Clouds covered the field, a drizzle of rain fell, and drops of water struck on Shakiras's dark gray rock armor.

Water is Shakiras's most feared attribute. However, this Pokémon in armor just stood silently in place, ignoring the rain as nothing.

On the other side, Mosquito Coil-kun was already swimming quickly on the field. Its figure looks hazy in the rain, its steps are as light as a fish in water, and it obviously has a rare hidden property to swim freely. As if he couldn't keep up with the speed of Mosquito Coil's movements, Shakiras was easily circumnavigated around his back, approaching it like a waterlight arrow characteristic of his waterfall climbing move.

Looking at this scene, Xiao Ye immediately recalled the "tragic situation" of fighting with Xiao Tian Shakilas during the special training on Red Lotus Island, and took a prescient breath of cool air, feeling a pain in his head for Mosquito Xiangjun in advance.

Sure enough, the mosquito coil who was climbing the waterfall hit his head on the hard stone, and the mosquito coil immediately turned into a mosquito coil eye. When I looked closely, the massive rock shield was erected behind Shakiras, and the dark purple glow of primordial power swirled, making the rock indestructible.

Seeing this scene, Bud was not surprised.

It didn't surprise her that Shakirath had a reliable means of countering, a race that was already good at defense and couldn't easily be hit by a waterfall. More than defense, Bud Heart is more afraid of Shakiras's mobility - although it has no hands or feet, it can compress the air in its body, and it can violently eject it to move at high speed, and its explosive power is like a rocket. However, in order to defend against the water system moves that restrained it, Shakirats took the initiative to erect a hard stone shield, blocking the Mosquito Coil's footsteps, and at the same time, it also narrowed its own range of activities.

Shakiras used his primordial power to create several stone shields one after another, temporarily forcing back the Mosquito Coil, and the sharp stone attack flew towards the Mosquito Coil. The sharp stone blades were powerful but sparse, and it was not difficult to deal with, and after smashing one of the stone blades with a split tile, Mosquito Coil-kun rushed out through the stirring smoke and dust, and struck Shakiras's head with an orange-glowing hand knife.

Shakiras didn't dodge – or didn't mean to dodge at all. It was bathed in a faint metallic glow, and it steadily withstood the hasty blow of the Mosquito Coil, which was not strong enough, and it didn't shake it for a moment.

"Mosquito Coil-kun was the first to break through the line of fire, and the tile-splitting move hit the target!, however, Shakirath had used the iron wall preparedly, and it didn't seem to be seriously damaged. It's a harder armor than a rock plate!" The voice fell, and the narrator looked at Mosquito Coil, who was jumping away quickly with his arm, and wanted to add one more sentence, "Mosquito Coil's hand was seriously injured."

On the sidelines, Xiao Ye looked thoughtfully at the silver light that had not yet dissipated around Shakiras. Its iron wall is indeed reliable, but is it really just because of the iron wall that it can resist the moves of the fighting system without changing its complexion?

On the side, Xinghai said with a smile, "I also investigated the intelligence of Xiaotian's opponent in the morning. The girl is a great player for playing downwind, and she is able to catch her opponent's flaws and amplify them, making them fall into her rhythm. I think Xiaotian should have noticed this too. ”

When Xiao Ye heard this, she was immediately stunned. The little Pichu hanging on his shoulder didn't know if he understood Xinghai's meaning, and glared at Xinghai without thinking, "Insidious human mound!"

The silver-haired young man immediately laughed out of the background Sakura Fukiyuki as if he had been praised, and Sayo blinked innocently, feeling as if he had also been scolded.

On the field, Bud Heart didn't try to attack again, and commanded Mosquito Coil-kun to rely on the leisurely nature of swimming freely, and the assault of the waterfall hit Shakiras. This is also the tactic that Bud Heart set at the beginning - Shakirath is not as light as Mosquito Coil-kun after all, and it is easy to be thrown away by a quick change of direction and running.

One by one, the stone shields descended, and Shakiras's vision became narrower and narrower. Its trainer also seemed to realize that something was wrong, and tried to break the game violently, but was always interrupted by the mosquito coil gentleman just right, and could only spin in place. Finally, the mess of stones has completely surrounded Shakirath in the center, and the mosquito coil king directly opposite has also launched a killing blow.

The dark blue water cannon attacked Shakiras relentlessly, and Bud Heart saw that the other party who was already panicked could only throw two stones indiscriminately, and could not stop the power of the water cannon at all......

Hey?!

Bud Xin was stunned to see that the two inconspicuous stones had split the water cannon, and smashed them at the feet of Mosquito Coil, so frightened that it hurriedly shifted its position.

She recognized it as a rock blockade move, but when did the rock blockade be able to fend off the water cannon head-on?

After all, Mizuno Meishin is an experienced freelance trainer. After a few seconds of stuck, she suddenly understood what had come over, and cold sweat instantly soaked her palms.

Shakiras...... How many times have you used Primordial Power?

However, her enlightenment came too late. Shakiras, who hadn't moved a single step throughout the game, finally moved—the rocky field cracked inch by inch, and the ground shook violently. All the rocky shields collapsed, and Mosquito Coil-kun could no longer stand firm.

When the sand and dust kicked up, it rushed out like a bullet, smashing all the stones that blocked the road and smashing it on the mosquito coil. Bud Heart could only see a pitch-black wave of light shattering the smoke and dust, rolling violently around Mosquito Coil's body like a wave, and finally falling back to the shattered ground.

"Mosquito Coil-kun has lost his ability to fight, please change the Pokémon of the bud heart player!"

As the crowd cheered for the winner, Sayo felt that the contestant named Mei Shin Mizuno was really good at controlling the pace of the game and was not an easy character to deal with. Being able to command Mosquito Coil-kun to suppress all of Shakiras's counterattacks, so that the battle situation really proceeded according to her own preset was enough to show her strength.

Maybe Xiao Tian also knew this, so he didn't try to forcibly seize the initiative, and 90% of the whole game was just passive defense. The smooth Bud Heart was inevitably negligent in the details, but it's no wonder that she's not so easy to trigger the ability boost from the Primal Force, so much so that most trainers ignore this additional effect. It takes an incredible amount of stamina to use multiple Primal Powers in a row like Shakiras, and it's not easy to defend with a single move like this. Xiao Ye still remembers that the first time he fought against Xiao Tian's Shakiras, Ghost Stone was dragged by it until his physical strength was exhausted and he didn't do any effective damage, and he didn't want to be an opponent with it the next day.

"What did this guy grow up eating, Iron Lump Moqiu......" Pichu couldn't help but mutter, imagining that if he also fought with this turtle shell opponent, his little face was wrinkled.

"Shakirath likes to eat hard rocks and dirt deep underground, and occasionally devours metal. Xinghai replied actively, and added very considerately, "But it's better not to imitate, maybe you will have a bad stomach." ”

"Who wants to imitate, I'm not a fool Qiu!" Pichu immediately hid a slightly unintentional look on his face and shook Xinghai's tail angrily.

Unexpectedly, Xinghai not only pinched its little tail quickly, but also stretched out his claws and scratched the chin of the electric mouse, "Okay, I said it wrong." ”

"Uh, Mr. Xinghai, you'd better not ......"

"Take your hand away from the mound for me!!"

Twenty minutes later, Xiao Tian, who had successfully broken through the first round, returned to the audience and looked speechlessly at the two charred men who seemed to be a little familiar.

"You ...... What the hell are you doing?"

The charcoal men looked at each other, smiling in embarrassment but politeness. And the coke man-maker, no, the rat-maker raised his jaw and let out a soft snort.

I had long wanted to call him for a while.

====================

Small Theatre:

The charcoal men looked at each other, smiling in embarrassment but politeness. And the coke man-maker, no, the rat-maker raised his jaw and let out a soft snort.

I had long wanted to call him for a while.

Sayo: But why do you want to connect me to electricity?
