June 24th, the fourth day of the Quartz League Competition.

At 10 a.m., Branch Venue A, Grass Arena.

An old man dressed in black sat in the front row of the audience, his face as serious as if he was going to fight. It's a pity that his dress completely ruined the momentum, causing the people around him to have no intention of watching the game, and they all drifted their eyes to this side as if nothing happened.

The old man was not only wearing a thick long windbreaker, but also hats, sunglasses and masks, which should have been unbearable in the morning, but miraculously did not sweat a drop. He had a supportive headband tied to his hat, and it was comically written with pink LOVE - most of the time he didn't tie it directly to his head for fear that the brim would hide the love. There is also a long banner hanging in front of the old man, with the names of the two contestants prominently printed in flower characters, and the whole set of pies seems to be desperately supporting with life and discipline.

And the flowery character player standing on the field was moved by his grandfather's warm love, and at the same time was so embarrassed that he wanted to cry under the strange gaze of others, and he didn't know what expression to put on for a while.

Why would Xiaoling praise her grandfather's ghostly thoughts? I really think it's good to sit in the audience and cheer like yesterday, really!

Xiao Jie, who was also wearing a black trench coat but was sweating hot, said that he no longer believed that the twins would have a good heart.

As a little expert in naming the dragon's tooth, Xia Yang Yuanzheng naturally refused to let go of the opportunity to give his grandchildren a code name. The code name of the two siblings, "Xingguang" and "May Rain", comes from the name of a pair of twin guns preserved by the Xia Yang family - it is said that it was the weapon of a very famous general of the Xia Yang family in ancient times, the two spears are one large and one small, the shape and style are almost identical, and they are precious cultural relics that can be written into the textbook level.

In addition, Yuan Zheng also explained to the two at length the beautiful meaning contained in the text and the various expectations of the sustenance, what "the body is like a long rainbow and the drizzle", and the posture of quoting scriptures is not like a retired soldier, but like a retired professor, for fear that the two children will not buy his account.

Fortunately, the golden retriever siblings are different from their fathers, they never mess with their elders, and they don't care what their code names are. It would be a good thing for them to save the brains of thinking about code names, so both of them happily took out the illustrated book on the spot and entered the second name given by their grandfather into the identity protection information.

and said that their dear grandfather was much better than his father's ability to name names—look at the big names their father gave them, "Jie" and "Ling", they were so dirty.

So, the freshly baked Xingguang players strode into the arena under the loving gaze of their grandfather. Although he felt from the bottom of his heart that if Lie didn't have the whims to become a fanatical fan in the third round, he could have strutted a little higher.

It's a pity that in order to make his grandfather and sister happy, he can only endure it.

After the start of the game, the passers-by of good things finally didn't have the heart to pay attention to the strange costumes of the people around them. Although both sides were unknown, it was an unexpectedly fierce battle.

"Naughty Thunderbolt, Rolling Attack for the End!"

As the girl's energetic voice sounded, the arena was filled with a loud rumbling sound and a blinding light effect. When the offensive called Rolling was actually more like a big bang was over, Xiao Jie looked at the Falling Thunder Beast that had fallen to the ground, and couldn't help but blink his eyes twice.

The naughty thunderbolt that burst out of its full power also looked like it was not lightly wounded, and at first glance it looked like it was no different from using a large explosion. But the black-haired and red-eyed girl smiled leisurely, her face full of pride.

"Good_shot! Naughty Thunder!" the girl praised her Pokémon enthusiastically, and the spherical Pokémon began to roll around with joy.

Retracting the unconscious Thunder Beast, Xiao Jie played with the Poke Ball thoughtfully. Rolling isn't that explosive, is it? But the Naughty Bullet still has consciousness, so it can't be a big explosion. And......

At the end of the attack, did the speed of the Naughty Bullet suddenly increase?

However, although he was preemptively won a game, Xiaojie and Yuan Zheng, who was sitting in the audience, were not worried. The Thunder Beast is a Pokémon that Xiao Jie subdued in the other side, and it has not been in the team long enough, and its strength can only rank last in the team. The starter sent it only to train and not to win, and since the opponent is very strong, Xiaojie is also willing to show his full strength.

"Metal monsters. ”

The dark blue steel Pokémon emerged from the ball at the call of Xiaojie and floated beside the trainer. The girl on the opposite side was not nervous at all because the opponent was a rare and difficult Pokémon, but threw red and white balls even more excitedly.

"Fire Storm Beast, it's your home turf! Steel or anything is no threat in the face of flames!"

The tall flame monster roared in response to its own trainer.

Xiao Jie's opponent is named Exit Fengzi, who is ten years old this year, and like Xiao Jie, he is a rookie trainer who has just embarked on his journey. Even so, this energetic girl has no nervousness about stepping on the grand stage for the first time, and is clearly enjoying the battle with her Pokémon - the presence of these fearless young people is always indispensable in the annual Quartz Alliance.

After the signal for the start of the game was issued, Xiaojie immediately gave the first instructions, "Sandstorm!"

The metal monster's eyes lit up, and the yellow sand rose from the ground, covering the entire battlefield. The camera in the field immediately switched to a close-up view of the sandstorm, and Fengzi didn't care about the change in the weather, and gave a straightforward attack order, "Fire Storm Beast, open the flame wheel and rush over!"

The firestorm beast was covered in fire and rushed into the sandstorm. It thought that the metal monster was long gone, but when it rushed closer, it realized that the opponent was still honestly there, and immediately roared, and swooped down with the hot flames.

"Bullet punch. The blonde boy's eyes were bright, almost casting a faint fluorescence on the black sunglasses.

Silver-gray energy wrapped around the metal monster's arm, turning into a rushing fist shadow towards the blazing flame wheel.

Kazeko was able to hear the voice of the opponent's trainer amplified by the megaphone. She didn't think that a mere bullet fist could deal with her Firestorm Beast's fire-type attack, but after the words fell, the Sandstorm heard the Firestorm cry of pain and the ensuing sound of falling to the ground. The wind that can't see through the sand and dust with the naked eye only feels confusing, but through the cameras installed inside the venue, all the viewers can see clearly what has just happened.

The metal monster's bullet fist was not aimed at the Pyronite's body, but at its forelimbs that landed as it ran. Known as a preemptive move, the bullet punch is extremely fast, enough to hit the Pyrober before it can hit the Metal Monster before it can hit the Metal Monster itself. The fire storm beast's attack strength with an unstable center of gravity immediately dispersed by half, and it stumbled into the soft grass.

However, the performance of the metal monster still surprised the audience a little. The faster the weapon, the more difficult it is to control, and the same is true for the moves, and it is difficult to hit a certain point with precision with an attack like bullet punch, not to mention that the opponent is still in the running motion. Rather than intentional, viewers prefer to believe that it's a coincidence.

As soon as the Pyroc fell, the metal monster rushed forward, its sharp claws about to swing down at the back of its opponent's head. At this time, Fengzi, who should not be able to see the situation on the field, suddenly shouted: "Smoke spew!"

The flames behind the Fire Storm Beast suddenly swelled, and the raging flames spread out to the surroundings, and the metal monster was almost swept into it, and it was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.

Xiao Jie looked in the direction of the trainer's seat opposite with some surprise. Since childhood, he has been exercising in the mind-eye school so that his eyesight is far better than ordinary people, and through the yellow sand, he can vaguely see that the girl who is not tall is standing straight, and seems to be still smiling.

Was it a coincidence? Or was it able to connect with the Pokémon's mind so much that it sensed the Pokémon's crisis?

However, for Xiao Jie, it was unnecessary to speculate on the other party's thoughts for the time being, and his tactics had been successfully unfolded - the leaping fire storm beast looked around left and right in the flames, and suspiciously found that the metal monster had disappeared.

Pokémon's senses are much sharper than humans, and sandstorms don't completely block their perception of the outside world. Therefore, after noticing that the metal monster had disappeared into its own visual range, the Firestorm Beast even had a little suspicion that the other party had escaped.

And the next moment, the incoming attack interrupted its thoughts. Out of nowhere, the Shadow Ball slammed into its feet, and if it hadn't reacted fast enough, the blow would have hit it right on the head.

A stormy attack also began. The pitch-black orb of energy danced in such a complex trajectory that it was impossible for the Firestorm to tell where the enemy was, and dodging indiscriminately could not dodge all attacks, and it was soon scarred. Fengzi, who was cut off from sight by the sandstorm, was also at a loss, and she only knew that her partner was constantly being attacked, and she could never find any trace of the enemy. Under her command, the Firestorm even swept the entire field with a dense array of high-speed stars, but it still didn't touch a single hair of the metal monster.

Unlike a trainer who is at a loss, the multi-angle live broadcast on the big screen makes it clear to the audience what is happening.

It's true that the metal monster is not on the "field" in the usual sense of the word - it flies so high in the air that the audience sitting on the bottom can only see a blurry dark blue.

Pokémon's weather moves are different from real natural phenomena. Take Sandstorm as an example, most Pokémon Sandstorms can not maintain a large range, and the most common level is to make the dust cover the whole field like the Metal Monster. The closer you get to the core, the more dense the sand becomes, and when you retreat to the audience, the sand is so thin that it barely obstructs the view. From a distance, the sandstorm move looks like a surging sand ball, and the location of the metal monster is the very edge of the "sand ball", dozens of meters in the air.

Although the Firestorm is a deaf and clear-eyed Pokémon, its perception is far less powerful than that of being able to see through the sandstorm directly. The metal monster on the brink of a sandstorm did something very straightforward - its eyes glowed blue, and shadow orbs continued to emit them, spinning and flying under the control of its superpowers until it fell onto the firestorm.

It's easy to say, but it's almost impossible to do it in practice. It is not easy to make the moves attack dozens of meters away, let alone use superpowers to manipulate them to move forward in various complex trajectories, but still not lose their accuracy. If it is said that the battle is a giant gold monster at this time, maybe the audience's mouths will not be so wide, because the giant gold monster has super computing power and is good at precise control, but its pre-evolved form metal monster does not have the same developed brain as the giant gold monster, and most of them are still used to using the rampage fighting method of the iron dumbbell period, and this very strategic air-to-ground precision strike on the metal monster is a bit shocking.

There was no doubt that if the Firestorm and its trainers continued to be helpless, it would soon be knocked down by a steady stream of shadow orbs. However, as if to refute this thought that came to the audience's mind, the earth suddenly shook.

Xiao Jie watched as the Fire Storm Beast ignored the Shadow Ball's attack and slammed its head into the ground with flames almost desperately, burning the soft grass arena to the ground. After this inexplicable blow, its trainer girl seemed to understand something, and confidently shouted the next instruction.

"Firestorm, [internal combustion engine] start, fly!"

The flaming monster let out a high-pitched roar, and all the scorching energy was released in one go. The flames behind it erupted, and the tremendous force of the impact carried it into the air, like a dazzling rocket. The misty yellow sand quickly skimmed over its eyes, and as the clear blue of the sky came into view, its piercing gaze caught the prey clad in steel armor.

In the exclamation of countless audiences, Xiao Jie looked at the fire storm beast that was full of flames like a demon in mid-air, and unexpectedly fulfilled a guess in his heart.

Sure enough, it's coming.

The black-haired and red-eyed girl heard the exclamations of the audience from all directions. She took a deep breath of enjoyment and smiled even more with interest.

Shortly after her trip, she stumbled upon a special energy-wielding technique in the midst of a large explosion caused by a fireball rat. In the mode she named "Internal Combustion Engine", the Pokémon's energy will be ignited like a flame, bursting with great lethality in a very short time.

Of course, the weakness of this way of using energy is also obvious. Its essence is actually a technique similar to the "Big Bang" that instantly erupts all the energy, the explosive power is more than enough and the staying power is insufficient, and the failure to achieve one blow represents defeat. In the Quartz League, such a desperate Saburo-style play is undoubtedly a gamble, but Fengzi enjoys this gamble from the bottom of her heart.

Since the high-speed stars have swept the whole field without any gains, it means that the opponent is not on the field. Then, either on the ground or in heaven.

If your opponent is underground, knock it out, and what if in the sky, the Firestorm can rely on its complacent flames to give wings?

Fengzi gathered his hands together and shouted to the sky, "Fire Storm Beast, take out all your strength and rush over!"

The Fire Storm Beast's eyes were red, and the last flames burst out from its body without reservation. The flames behind it were like a jet, propelling it to complete an astonishing change of direction in the air, and the fire meteor smashed resolutely towards the metal monster.

The sandstorm that surrounded the stadium had gradually dissipated. Xiao Jie could clearly see the speed of the firestorm beast's attack, and understood that the metal monster could no longer dodge this move, and at the same time, he also "saw" the metal monster showed a look similar to its rampaging childhood.

The boy smiled, and changed the instructions that were about to be exported.

"Metal monster, Mind Hammer!"

The rich blue light converged on the metal monster's steel armor, colliding head-on with the fire meteor. The loud explosion almost spread throughout the venue area of the Players' Village, and after a while, the rising black smoke gradually dissipated, revealing the appearance of two Pokémon participating in the battle.

The unconscious Firestorm was covered in wounds and collapsed on top of the metal monster. The dark blue steel Pokémon was also scarred, but it still flew steadily, carrying the Fire Storm Beast from the sky little by little, landing on the soft grass.

"Ahh......h I want to say thank you after this game. The black-haired, red-eyed girl muttered to herself as she grabbed her hair, undiscouraged as she withdrew the Fire Storm Beast and picked up the next Poke Ball, the light in her eyes refusing to be extinguished.

Xiaojie lifted his top hat, which had been shaken by the shockwave of the explosion, and raised a smile. He felt his brain still remarkably calm and calm, while his heart was beating violently.

He thought that he was accustomed to seeing fierce confrontations between trainers of various genres and all walks of life around his mother, but when he stepped on the Quartz Plateau and participated in the battle with a Poke Ball in hand, he still experienced the infinite freshness and excitement. The blood of the martial artist inherited from Saro Utsunomiya was flowing hotly, and a certain thought was deeply imprinted in the mind of the young Xia Yang boy.

I want to win, I want to stay in this arena until the last moment, I want to see the last of its scenery -

That's exactly what all freelance trainers aspire to.

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

Xiao Ye didn't go to watch Xiao Jie's heart-pounding duel.

Her third round was 2 p.m., and she didn't continue her previous curse. Since the opponent this time was a strong academy trainer, Xiao Ye took the Pokémon to the surrounding mountains and clearings early in the morning to practice tactics, and did not return to the player village until noon.

Seeing that it was not too early, Saya handed over the Pokémon to Miss Joy to recover from her fatigue and walked straight to the dormitory, wanting to take a shower before eating. As soon as she walked up to the third floor of her dormitory, she suddenly paused.

A few teenagers and girls were talking and laughing from the other side of the corridor. Xiao Ye's eyes glanced at them silently, and continued to move forward without showing any abnormality, but his mind was completely focused on the malicious fluctuation that appeared in his room.

She used her key card to open the electronic lock as usual, and closed the door when she entered the house. At the moment when the wooden door completely cut off the air inside and outside the room, the transparent muzzle of the light was already against Xiao Ye's neck.

The crystal-like weapon flows slowly like a living thing, which is creepy. And the young man wearing it propped one hand next to Xiao Ye's ear and bowed slightly, Xiao Ye could almost feel the cold breath on his forehead.

The boy grinned, revealing a twisted smile.

"Long time no see, my old acquaintance~"
