No.338 Face to face on the agreed arena
Early morning on June 29.
Today, the quartz stadium is still bustling with people, as early as the sun rises. Fortunately, Xiao Ling woke everyone up early in the morning, and managed to reach her seat before the stadium was crowded with spectators.
There are still ten minutes left before the start of the game. The commentator and special guest Watenwang have been in place and have begun to review the wonderful scenes of yesterday's game. However, there was no smell of gunpowder between the two players who were about to face each other, and they sat together in the rest area next to the passage of the green players, chatting as usual.
Maybe it's because they don't have a sense of tension that even the staff next to them can't help but turn back frequently, only to feel that these two players who don't talk harshly to each other don't follow the routine at all.
The pre-match preparations have been made before stepping onto the sports field, and the construction of tactics has also been completed. Xiao Ye and Xiao Tian are not the type to like to sharpen their guns, but they were idle when the game was about to start, and they simply gathered together to browse the voting post recommended by Xiao Ling last night.
"Sure enough, there were more people who bet on our opponents to win yesterday. Xiao Ye looked at Xiao Tian's mobile phone screen.
Compared with her and Xiaotian, Bai Lan and Kiripa have more prominent results in the previous matches, and there are more supporters - especially Kiripa, who even reached 1:9 in the prediction post of the result of Chifan vs Kiripa due to her defeat of Kyoji in the round of 16.
"I was also surprised, I didn't expect us to win here. Sayo laughed as she protected the little pichu that was rolling around on her knees to keep it from falling.
Excellent results mean higher prize money - little Pichu obviously no longer needs the trainer to explain the reason, directly equating "victory" with "having food", and suddenly happiness has become a ball of hairballs.
Xiao Tian nodded casually. The fingers swiping across the screen stopped, and he turned his head sideways to look at the person next to him.
Xiao Ye's black top hat was meticulously buttoned above her head, almost covering half of her face. Even so, Xiao Tian still saw the small scars carved on his friend's cheeks hidden behind the shadows and hair, and the fragrance of laundry detergent emitted by the fabric of the windbreaker was mixed with a few traces of the unique smell of wound medicine.
After a pause, Xiaotian spoke, "Last night......"
When he woke up in the morning, he glanced at the news that the street market in the contestants' district had been attacked last night. The news was not detailed, and the names of those present were not mentioned - if it wasn't for the anomaly on Sayo, he would never have associated it with Sayo.
Before he could figure out the words to ask if his friend had been involved in the attack, Saya hesitantly replied, "...... Did you see that?"
"Huh?"
"Charizard's new tactical training ...... last night"
Xiao Tian was stunned and shook his head.
"That's good. Sayo looked relieved - no trainer wanted their secret countermeasures to be revealed before the match, "Charizard made a bit of a noise, and I was worried about whether it would attract passers-by. ”
Xiao Tian heard this, and the searching color in his eyes gradually dissipated.
He was well aware of Sayo's Charizard's rough fighting style, and it wasn't surprising that he accidentally suffered some minor injuries while guiding Charizard training. In contrast, it is the fact that a contestant should never be present in a commercial market on the night before the race.
"There are fifteen minutes left before the start of the first match of the semi-finals, please ask the red side Qianfan and the green side Beidou players to go to the player tunnel to prepare for the game......"
The sound of the radio was heard in every corner of the stadium. Xiaotian stood up, "Then, please advise me next." ”
"Well, I'll do my best to defeat you. ”
Xiao Ye's very un"Xiao Ye" answer made Xiao Tian raise his eyebrows. As soon as the words fell, Xiao Ya took out Charizard's Poké Ball and added with a smile, "-Charizard has been saying this since last night. ”
Charizard in its translucent spherical shell could hear the trainer's voice, and immediately pointed its head out of the afterimage.
Defeating Xiao Tian and Yan has been Charizard's goal since childhood, and this big guy who loves to fight has long been unable to contain his enthusiasm, and it seems that he wants to burn a hole in the spherical shell of the Poké Ball first.
Xiao Tian looked at Charizard with an unchanged expression, and then moved his gaze to Xiao Ye.
"Well, I'm looking forward to you defeating me, 'Captain'. ”
After calmly abandoning this sentence, Xiao Tian didn't look at how wonderful the other party's expression had become, and walked towards the red player's tunnel in a good time.
When—
The Poké Ball in Sayo's hand fell to the ground.
Charizard, which suddenly fell to the ground, was dizzy with the Poké Ball, and finally regained its sense of direction, and when it looked up, it was shocked.
Help, help, my master turned to stone, QAQ!
Regardless of how long it took Saya, who was full of ripples in her heart, to transform herself from stone back to a living person, when the signal for the player to take place was given, she stood in the green seat, still throwing away trivial thoughts that were not related to the battle with great professionalism.
"It's eight o'clock in the morning, and the semifinals of the 381st Quartz League are about to begin. The narrator's familiar voice sounded, "The two sides in the first game are Qianfan on the red side and Beidou on the green side - these two players are dressed very similarly, and they are said to be teammates from the same team. I'm sure they'll give us a good game!"
In the midst of the cacophony of cheers, Xiao Ye gently closed her eyes and opened them again. The noise from all directions faded from my mind like a tidal wave, and only the four white lines enclosed the battlefield were clearly reflected in my eyes.
She knows how strong her teammate is, and there is no room for her to be overlooked in this game.
Next, just like the promise of the day - do your best with each other and have an all-out battle!
The roulette wheel turned, and the arrow that attacked first pointed at Nighto, as always. The Green players, who were accustomed to this, could no longer afford to complain about their bad luck, and immediately sent their own predetermined pioneers.
A green lizard Pokémon appears on the field with a glow. Its gaze was sharp and attentive, and it was clear that yesterday's injuries had healed completely.
On the other side, Xiao Tian thought for a while and chose a Pokémon that had not yet appeared in the battle in the tournament.
The little white guy circled a few times above the trainer's head like a bird, bringing a light gust of wind - Pokkigu, Happy Pokémon, Fairy and Flying Attributes.
The last time Xiao Ye fought this Pokkigu was on Red Lotus Island two months ago, and the information she got is no longer applicable at this time. She didn't know much about the moves and fighting styles that Pokkigu was good at now, and after secretly raising her vigilance, she decisively turned on the battle method she was most proficient in the moment when the bunting was waved.
"A flash of lightning, magic leaf. ”
The forest lizard stepped on the white man, sprinting quickly towards the opposite side, and the green flying leaves emerged as they ran, hovering and flying eagerly.
"Tie the grass knot. ”
"Shadow doppelganger. ”
Xiao Ye never needed any warm-up time during the battle, and the reaction speed was already running to the fastest, and the voice almost overlapped with the opponent's commands.
Pokkigu's eyes glowed, and the knotted rope of grass intercepted in the trajectory of the forest lizard's run. The green lizard's body flashed, and instantly turned into countless phantoms, brushing the ground and continuing to rush towards the opponent.
"Fairy wind. Xiao Tian immediately gave a second order.
Pokkigu unleashes a pale pink storm that blows away the forest lizard's clone. However, the spread of power was not enough to stop the forest lizard, which had already crossed most of the opposing battlefield, and the magic leaf climbed in a spiraling trajectory, enveloping Pokkigu in the center like a cage.
The next moment, the green figure flashed, and the blade of light between the elbows slashed fiercely.
The blockade of the magic leaf leaves Pokkigu with little way out, and he is about to be hit in the head by the blade. However, before the blade could touch the skin, Pokkigu leaned sideways and skimmed between the flying blades at an uncanny angle, leaving only a shallow scar on its back.
A low, rhythmic cry sounded like a spell to the ears of the trainers at the entrance. Watching Pokkigu continue to complete the unbelievable evasion under the pressure of the forest lizard, Xiao Ye knew in his heart.
Lucky spell, with the blessing of "luck", strengthens the sixth sense, avoids being hit by the opponent, and if used properly, it may even achieve the effect of unpredictable prophets, completely avoiding the opponent's attacks. The forest lizard's magic leaf and blade attack were dense, but not enough to block all the gaps, and the lucky spell was able to guide Pokkigu to accurately capture every fleeting path of life.
"Distance. ”
Seeing this, Xiao Ye decisively changed his playing style. The forest lizard escaped the melee range with a continuous back jump, and the magic leaves increased instead of decreasing, and surrounded Pokkigu like a whirlwind.
Sensing that no matter which direction he broke through, he might be attacked by thousands of sharp blades, Pokkigu, who was imprisoned in the center, did not act rashly, and cautiously observed the vast blue color in front of him.
The forest lizard does not intend to give its opponent a respite. The command of "Ultimate Absorption" fell, and the points of light oozing from the flying leaves connected to each other, turning into a rotating dazzling light band.
At this moment, the magic leaf has become the best vehicle for ultimate absorption. As the confinement range of the flying leaves shrank, the light bands were like a long river of blue color, and the waves rolled towards the central Pokkigu.
The majestic light obscured Night's vision, making it difficult for her to see behind the light bands. Pokkigu seemed to move slightly, but then seemed to do nothing, and the next second, the swirling and shrinking magic leaf suddenly collapsed, and it crashed into the opponent in the middle in a disorderly manner.
The white Pokémon calmly opened the shield of light that it was guarding, isolating the dense magic leaves. The moment the Ultimate Absorb gets out of control, it can't maintain its original form, and it dissipates into the air before it touches the target.
The forest lizard's form froze, as if it was stunned that the magic leaf was out of control.
Pokkigu, who had lifted the guard, swooped down on the blue light. The forest lizard instinctively cast the magic leaf again, trying to disrupt the opponent's vision, but the flying leaf once again slammed straight at Pokkigu, like metal attracted by a magnet, completely unable to turn.
Pokkigu's swallow returns all the way to defeat the grass-based magic leaves, knocking the forest lizards that can't dodge them into the air.
Xiao Ye frowned slightly.
Her mood at the moment was as puzzled as that of the forest lizard - she knew that Pokkigu's spiritual power or supernatural power could force her opponent's moves to turn, but the attachment of mental power would cause objects to emit a faint blue light that could not be concealed, and there was no similar trace on the magic leaf just now.
Pokkigu spun lightly in the air, once again riding the wind towards the forest lizard. The trainer who had fallen into the downwind looked closely at the arena, and his eyes were suddenly drawn to a glimmer of light.
The white Pokémon fingertips have remnants of light that have not yet dissipated, and they almost blend in with the skin tone, making it difficult to notice.
Xiao Ya's eyes widened slightly, and a guess came to mind.
====================
Small Theatre:
Xiao Tian heard this, and the searching color in his eyes gradually dissipated.
He was well aware of Sayo's Charizard's rough fighting style, and it wasn't surprising that he accidentally suffered some minor injuries while guiding Charizard training.
Charizard: (holding a pot falling from the sky) (tilting his head blankly) Huh?
