No.346 Victory or defeat is often the heart of "fish and water".

For novice trainers, using move machines is an important way for them to enrich their Pokémon's move pool. Academy trainers with solid basic knowledge rely on move machines, and they will carefully consider the Pokémon's ability to hit different attributes, and choose the most suitable disc, so that they have the ability to deal with different situations in a short period of time.

Naturally, the poor and white night did not use a move machine for his Pokémon - but sold all the discs rewarded for the gym battle for the rations of a large family. It wasn't until the eve of the Final Four that she finally used a move machine for her Charizard for the first time.

Stand-in - This is the move that Xiao Ya chose after thinking about it for a long time. The friendly shop in the Contestant's Village has a discount for the contestants, and the poor more than 2,000 elf coins in the night card support the consumption of the CD.

Luckily, the Quartz League's prize money is always paid out within three days after the tournament, otherwise Saya would have to think about how to cope with the final month's debt repayment with a miserable three-digit deposit.

The moves that are learned directly from the CD-ROM are only "usable", and when they are not systematically trained, the mastery and proficiency of the moves are miserable. Charizard's comprehension of new moves has always been so-so, and he can't use this unfamiliar move flexibly, and the split stand-in not only greatly reduces the power of his attacks, but even his flying posture has become crooked.

- And that doesn't get in the way of Sayo's plans. She hadn't expected Charizard's stand-in to fight head-on like Shakiras.

The first time he dived underground to avoid a rockfall, Charizard used a double body-in. The main body soon rose into the air to continue fighting the flames, while the stand-in remained underground and began digging in an undisturbed environment.

For Pokémon, who have mastered the burrowing moves since they were a child, even if they are not very flexible, they can easily navigate through the soft dirt of the arena. The pre-rehearsed caves are evenly spaced around the center of the field and are connected to each other underground, forming a vast network that runs through the arena.

When the energy of the Fire Oath poured into the ground, the flames broke through the thin soil that was hidden from the mouth of the cave, exposing the already formed cavern to everyone.

After that, the "Flame Whack-a-Mole" was just a way to distract Xiao Tian's attention, and Xiao Ye knew that such a tactic would be a temporary frustration for Xiao Tian at most, and he would come up with a solution strategy in less than half a minute. The purpose of all actions is to "bring the flames into the ground" - and the moment the flames cause the earthquake is the best time.

The double, hidden underground, successfully completed its mission. When Yan was tricked out of the defense and unwittingly dragged underground, Charizard finally activated the last link of the tactics.

The flame vortex connects to the pillar of light of the Fire Oath, and overheating ignites the irritable fire attribute energy. Amid the sound of the ground shaking and shaking, nearly half of the battlefield suddenly collapsed, and all the rolling down earth, sand and gravel turned into ammunition for the outbreak of the "underground flame vortex".

It was like a natural disaster. At the same time, the automatic defense devices of the whole audience erected a snow-bright wall of light, and the loudspeakers emitted an unbearable screeching sound, and this "trace" of noise was immediately swallowed up by the loud explosion.

This is the powerful blow of Xiao Ya and Charizard - the grandest "fireworks" specially prepared for Xiao Tian's opponent in the whole game.

After a long time, the fire gradually extinguished and the tremors subsided.

The scene of the smoke and dust clearing and reappearing in view silenced all the spectators - with the center of the battlefield as the center, the originally flat ground has been transformed into a huge crater that cuts off the field.

The scarred Charizard hovered in the air, blood dripping down its wings into the dirt and hissing like hot oil.

Even Charizard, which was in the air, could not completely avoid the impact of such a violent explosion, but it had long since felt no pain. The blazing flames burned unquenchably in its chest, leaving its gaze fixed on the bottom of the crater, unable to move.

After a few seconds, the bottom of the pit filled with gravel and sand trembled slightly.

The Yanlong who struggled to get out of it has long since lost the majesty of the opening. It was scarred like a fire-breathing dragon, and its breath was rapid, as if it would fall to the ground with a gentle push.

However, when it looked up, Charizard noticed that its eyes, which had been calm in both directions, were uncharacteristically bright, like a ball of flame.

There seemed to be some kind of intense emotion that pierced Charizard's heart. In the next moment, a crimson flame rose from the soles of the feet of the two flame dragons at the same time.

Fierce fire, which only activates when physical strength is on the verge of limit, gives Pokémon the characteristic of fighting to the death. At the moment when the firelight completely enveloped their bodies, they rushed towards each other at the same time.

The narrator took his breath and watched silently as he saw what was happening.

The two Pokémon that are fighting are already crumbling. The large-scale tactics were no longer able to unfold, and even Charizard, with its excess physical strength, could no longer spread the flames of the Fire Oath throughout the field. But their courage has not diminished in the slightest, and the sound of fists and feet colliding is like a drum, and the sound resounded in the minds of the audience.

"Big words burst into flames. ”

Charizard unleashes an explosive five-way fire that strikes your opponent's door.

"Dragonclaw—"

"Flame Fist!"

The blue dragon's claws tore through the flames, and Charizard's fists ignited the flames just right, holding off the flames.

As if the temperature of the fire was contagious, something more intense echoed in the mind that Saya should have remained absolutely calm. She stared at Charizard through the flying sparks, and vaguely felt the corners of her mouth rise up with the Pokémon.

The silver-glittering tail slammed into Inflammation's abdomen. It withstood the blow without saying a word, its body moving forward without retreating, its sharp claws gripping Charizard's tail tip.

"Thunderbolt Punch. ”

"Flame sputtering. ”

Blinding lightning lit up from the tip of the flame's claws, and flowed down the tail into Charizard's body. Charizard was exalted by the numb pain, and it endured the damage of the electric shock and spewed fireballs right down on his opponent's neck.

Yan retreated a few meters, and at the same time as the tail tip was bright, Charizard also took a deep breath.

"-Flame Spray!"

The same instructions came from very different directions. Beams of blazing flames collided, and the roar of the dragon mingled with the roar of sparks, like the beat of a drum hammered in a symphony.

The spirit of the silver-haired boy was concentrated like never before, and all the noisy sounds and trivial images had faded, and only this arena was vividly reflected in his eyes. He felt his body and soul craving the flames, the impact. At some point, there was a thought that I was really looking forward to - this battle could go on forever.

Charizard's physical strength had reached its limit, and even what was in front of it had become blurry. It let itself pour out all its power with impunity, and the golden red light flowed from within its body for the last time.

Yan, who had always been calm, let out an equally passionate roar, and the flames on the tip of the tail lit up the ice-blue eyes of the young man behind him.

As the saying goes, if a fish has a heart for water, the water will also have a heart for it—

That's my response to you.

"Overheating—"

"Explosion and burn!"

The blazing flames intersected in one place, like colliding souls, and once again devoured everyone's vision with a blinding red.

After a few moments, the hot air dissipated.

The exhaustion of physical strength caused Charizard's brain to fall into a stupor.

It could barely open its eyes, wondering how long it had been since it had delivered a full blow, or where it was. The scarred body swayed and fell limp, but was held steady by another pair of dragon claws of the same color as it was about to touch the dirt.

The familiar breath made it close its eyes in peace of mind, and handed over all its weight to the other party, allowing the last faint sound to pass in its ears.

"This is the end of the first semi-final match of the 381st Quartz Alliance!

The referee's loud announcement made Xiao Ye a little stunned for a while. She blinked and looked up at the clear summer sky, as if she had just realized that it was a sunny day.

...... It's over.

She lowered her eyes and smiled at herself. The unconscious Charizard followed the red light back into the ball, and its trainer stepped out of the command seat.

The battlefield has been ruined by the fire-breathing dragon, the little explosive expert, and the white line in the center has long been buried in the ruins and disappeared. In order to avoid the crater-like terrain, the two players had to temporarily change the place where they shook hands after the game to the sidelines.

"Thank you for fulfilling Charizard's wayward requests. Xiao Ye bent her eyes and thanked the oncoming person. "You're really strong, we lost this game convincingly. ”

The silver-haired boy shook his head, "I'm just starting early. ”

Since they met a year ago, Xiao Ye has never seen Xiao Tian proud of his victory. He seems to be very aware of the reasons for his victory, and he also understands his shortcomings, and he will never be shaken by external objects, and he will firmly let himself grow—and this is what Xiao Ya admires most about him.

"So, did I pass the strength test this time, Captain?"

The sudden change of title made Xiao Tian stunned. He looked at the person opposite him with a blank look in his eyes, raised an eyebrow and gave the answer, "Of course, you are a strong opponent. ”

Xiao Ye nodded with peace of mind - it seems that the ugly score of 3 to 6 is still within Xiao Tian's tolerance range, which is really surprising. In any case, on the verge of being expelled, the time when Dabi Bird spread his wings is over, and he .jpg happy.

Xiao Tian couldn't guess what Xiao Ye was thinking, and suddenly shook his head helplessly.

Then, the boy took a step closer, and the light-colored pupils behind the sunglasses reflected a serious glow.

"But it's not enough. Neither you nor I are enough. ”

He held out his hand to the girl.

"—Let's move forward together. ”

The person who was still smiling before seemed to be slightly stunned. However, she quickly hid the hint of the inappropriate thought and shook the other person's hand.

She could feel the boy's solemn determination. It was inherited from his father, and it was integrated with the power of his own beliefs, and from the past to the present, he has always pushed Xiaotian forward without confusion.

And the person who accepted the invitation – the moment he saw that text on an electronic screen a year ago, chose this path for something very different. It's just a rational choice to the goal, it's cold and straightforward, and there's not a shred of brilliance in it.

If the "plan" really succeeds......

Thoughts sank into chaos with guilt and undetectable hesitation. She heard herself answer with a smile in her usual tone—

"It's my pleasure. ”
