No.288 The warrior wields his proud blade again
June 22nd, the second day of the Quartz League Competition.
Eleven and a half a.m. is not the most enthusiastic time for the audience. With less than half an hour left before the end of the tournament, most of the spectators were already preparing to leave the venue and look for their favorite restaurant for lunch.
The only exception is the Parallel Session C.
The huge venue was silent, and the auditorium and even the aisles were filled with people who heard the news. The front row reporter's camera was already running at a rapid pace, and the continuous clicking sound almost sounded a strange rhythm.
Xiao Jie, who had successfully broken through the first round of the battle, looked at the stunned expressions of the people around him, and muttered, "The Iceberg Kid definitely regrets dying if he didn't come to watch this game."
Takuma Natsuyo's race and the match at the next D-room venue Kusama Kyoji started almost at the same time. Xiao Tian and Xinghai both chose to watch the No. 1 seed first, while Xiao Jie and Xiao Ling planned to cheer on their familiar childhood friends. Xiao Ye walked with the Golden Retriever brothers and sisters on the grounds that "there are relatively few battle videos of Tuoma, and you need to observe and collect intelligence on the spot", and did not explicitly say that her target was actually the opponent of the little boy of the Xia Yang family.
"2-0, the game has come to this point almost beyond everyone's expectations!" the commentator roared hoarsely as he knew that he was likely to witness the birth of the same super dark horse as last year, "The Qilinqi and Coconut Egg Tree of the Tuoma player have lost their ability to fight, and his opponent is still unharmed. Of course, we can all see that Tuoma is not lacking in strength, in fact he played very well today - so what is the sacredness of the green player Xingyu Bailan who can completely suppress such a powerful seeded player?"
If it weren't for being in public, many of the audience would even want to shout along.
Even if you don't care about the boy's surname, just the white kimono he wears and the unique family crest pattern on the back have already revealed the most crucial information. At this moment, everyone wanted to know what was the connection between the young man standing in the green command seat and the long-retired former chief search officer, Xingyu White Night?
On the field, the Xia Yang family's highly anticipated young talent has regained his composure after a brief period of helplessness.
Takuma is not very win-loser, and even if he encounters an incredibly strong opponent in the first round, he will not suffer from gains and losses to affect his mentality. He didn't follow the narrator's train of thought to guess the identity of the opponent, but just took a serious look at the indifferent young man opposite and threw out his last Poke Ball.
"Hudi, please!"
What appears in the white light is the original Pokémon that grew up with Takuma since childhood, and it is also Takama's strongest trump card. Hu Di floated quietly in the air, the spoon he held in both hands lingering with blue light, and the spiritual power that was enough to distort space was ready to be released.
On the other side, the young man with golden eyes immediately turned his gaze to Hu Di. His demeanor was very focused, as if he was not under the baptism of the gaze of thousands of spectators, and only the figure of his opponent was reflected in his eyes.
The formal kimono is not suitable for the hot summer, but the complicated fabric does not give the boy's behavior a hot atmosphere. His movements were still calm and measured, and like an ancient samurai standing in the dojo, he slowly drew his "saber".
"Slash Commander. ”
The steel-bladed Pokémon hissed and roared. Its dark red armor was covered in mottled scars, and there was a hideous crack in the blade above its head. When those bloodshot eyes stared ahead, Hu Di actually felt a chill in his back.
Before the trainer could give the order, the Chopping Commander had already moved.
Its figure rushed straight towards Hudi like an arrow from a string, stepping on a few floating boards on the water as if it were walking on the ground, not caring about the inconvenience caused by the water battle arena.
"Hudi, use your telekinesis to repel the floats!" Takuma quickly ordered.
Hu Di's eyes lit up with a blue light, and the last floating board in front of the slashing commander was dragged by an invisible force and deviated from its original position. The commander of the slash, who had nowhere to draw on his strength, immediately fell into the water.
Before the audience could utter their exclamations, the Slash Commander had returned to the battlefield - unlike Hudi, it didn't have any superpowers at its disposal, and its heavy body allowed it to quickly touch the bottom of the pool, and the steel helmet-covered feet stomped hard, leaving even cracks at the bottom of the pool. The force of the recoil caused the Slashing Commander's body to rocket out of the water, and volleyed into Hudi in a splash of water.
Hu Di's eyes lit up with a hazy colored light, and the light and shadow like pupils flew straight forward, landing on the slashing commander impartially.
The Miracle Eye hit the target so easily that even Takuma himself was stunned.
The Evil Slash Commander is completely immune to superpowers, and most of Hudi's moves don't work against it. However, after being hit by the Miracle Eye, the Evil Pokémon's resistance to the Super type will be temporarily invalidated, so in Takuma's prediction, the Miracle Eye is the first step in the battle.
Tuoma had already seen Bai Lan's excellent command ability, and knew that the other party should have a way to make the Commander of the Chop avoid the Miracle Eye just now. But the other party didn't say a word, that is...... He doesn't think there's a need to dodge?
As his thoughts flowed quickly, Tuoma had already given the command of "telekinesis". The superpower invisibly bound the limbs of the slashing commander, but after a second, he was broken free by brute force.
Sensing that the Slashing Commander's strength was beyond expectations, Hu Di immediately teleported to the other side of the field. Tuoma's instructions arrived at the same time, "Reflection Wall!"
After the slashing commander failed with one move, he immediately rushed towards Hudi again without stopping, and slammed his head into the translucent reflective wall. Knowing that several reflective walls would not be able to stop the Slash Commander for long, Tuma and Hudi unleashed another teleportation as he lunged forward, and phantom rays of light shot out from the back of the Slash Commander, striking him in the shoulder.
Almost paranoidly, the Slash Commander struggled with the reflection wall, unable to defend himself against the attack behind him, and fell into the water under the onslaught of energy.
At this time, not only Tuoma, but even the audience felt that the appearance of the commander was not quite right.
"Noticed? The blade that slashed at the top of the Commander's head was broken. Xiao Jie hit the nail on the head and pointed out the crux of the matter.
Xiao Ye and Xiao Ling nodded one after another. When the two of them were in elementary school, they didn't do badly in Pokémon general knowledge class, and they understood what Xiaojie wanted to express.
The Slash Commander is a social creature, and a Slash Commander will often act with a group of Pony Knife minions, and the clan is even more important to it than life. The blade of the head is a symbol of the status of the commander of the slash, and if the leader's head blade is broken, it will no longer be recognized by the Knife minions, and will be reduced to wandering alone. A number of studies have shown that the Slash Commander who has been kicked out of the group often becomes irritable and insane, and gradually forgets how to use his moves, just like the Slash Commander on the field today.
The same speculation has surfaced in the minds of many people, including Tuoma. And this crazy Pokémon with "no reason" still didn't give people much time to think, and only a few seconds after falling into the water, the floating board under Hu Di was suddenly overturned. The slashing commander turned into a black light, leaving bloody scars on Hu Di's body.
After the Chopping Commander had gained a foothold on the floating board, Bai Lan gave the first order of the game.
"Sword dance. ”
Bai Lan could guess what the bystanders and even his opponent were thinking, and he knew that the guesses of others were correct.
When he met the Slash Commander on the United Continent, it had been abandoned by its former race for a long time. Past disasters have left too many scars on its body, and it was almost an indiscriminate monster, fierce and fragile, and any creature that stepped into its warning range would be chopped to pieces.
But Bai Lan didn't think it should live like this forever. It had been the leader of the high tribe, and even if it had been defeated and irreversibly damaged, it should not have abandoned its pride—Bai Lan was convinced that there must still be that arrogant fire somewhere in it.
So, the boy stretched out his hand to the downcast clan leader.
The Slash Commander wielded his blade and danced a dance that had been passed down in his blood. Although years of wandering alone have gradually caused it to lose its mind, and even the moves it once knew by heart have been forgotten, only this dance that represents strength and fearlessness is deeply imprinted in its soul, and it has kept the last trace of its will.
"Hudi, phantom light!"
Without hesitation, Takuma instructed Hu Di to interrupt the other party's enhanced moves. However, the colorful rays of light struck the Slashing Commander, but it seemed to be unconscious, neither dodging nor screaming, and its originally cloudy eyes became brighter and brighter in the grinding of pain.
The young man of the Xia Yang family had never seen such an unusual way of fighting, and he was stunned for a moment before secretly saying that he had made a mistake in command, "Use your mental power to knock over the floating board under its feet!"
The blue light enveloped the float and turned it upside down. No matter how tough Commander Ren was to slash, he couldn't protect the unstable foothold under his superpowers, and sank to the bottom of the water in the waves.
The water arena was calm, but it gave Takuma a sense of depression before the storm. He is a very well-behaved player, and since the tournament prohibits the ability to use his ability to assist in the match, he will never try to use his superpowers to detect underwater conditions. The Slash Commander didn't immediately rush out of the water, but Takuma knew it couldn't do anything about it.
After a few seconds, the calm waves of water slowly swirled.
A powerful force from the bottom of the water drives the entire pool. The Pokémon in steel armor danced in the shadow of the sword, and the swirling water became faster and faster, turning into a huge whirlpool, and Takuma watched as a floating board was swept into it, and it shattered little by little.
The violently fluctuating energy field made Takoma realize that something was wrong. I'm afraid that the teleportation positioning will be seriously disrupted, and it will no longer be possible to dodge attacks.
"Hu Di, create three reflective walls, and then unfold the telekinetic spiral wall!"
The blonde boy's voice, which had not yet changed his voice, was full of determination that did not match his age. The strongest defense inherited from the Golden City Heavenly King was finally unleashed by him.
The blue whirlwind rose from the ground and enveloped Hu Di - no, it wasn't the wind, but the spiritual power that had been compressed to the extreme. On the other side, the slashing commander at the end of the sword dance was radiating white light and rushed towards Hu Di unstoppably.
The reflective walls shatter like fragile glass. The Slash Commander flashed his mutilated blade of the head, all the light focused on the scarred tip of the blade, which sliced into the blue whirlwind like a discharged bullet.
A massive centrifugal force struck the Slashing Commander's body, causing numerous cracks in its already broken armor. And it still knows how to move forward, slicing through the hurricane with its sharp blade, piercing the last line of defense.
The mutilated blade shattered the solid shield.
After a moment of silence, the entire branch hall was boiling.
"The winner has been decided!!The commander of the chopping defeated Hu Di, the ace of the Tuoma player, and won the key game! 3-0, Bai Lan defeated the seeded player Xia Yang Tuoma with an absolute advantage of 3-0, and successfully broke through the first round of the battle——"
As the commentators and spectators roared together, countless photos of the scene and press releases flew onto the Internet like snowflakes, and the information about the dark horse's successful sniping of seeded players instantly dominated the headlines of all sections of the GT forum.
In the adjacent D branch venue, the silver-haired young man suddenly stood up.
The hands of the search officer, who was calm and calm at all times, trembled a little. He stared at the phone screen, the face of the young man with short blue hair and golden eyes in the picture slammed into his eyes, obviously it was a strange appearance he saw for the first time, but it was so familiar that his eyes were hot.
A tidal wave of memories flooded over his head, and the near-sighing tone was lost in the cacophony of the playing field.
"Is that you......"
