No.328 Flame and sword light that meet again
"The battle went into a thirty-second pause, and I was finally able to breathe normally. Amid the noise of countless spectators, the commentator joked, "I didn't expect this fierce high-speed battle to last so long, but fortunately, I used to be a diver and am very good at holding my breath, so the contestants were not affected by the sound of my breathing." ”
On the side, the red-haired Dragon Heavenly King applauded very cooperatively, "I remember that the vast majority of people couldn't hold their breath for more than a minute. It seems that the senior was indeed an experienced diver, and he was able to hold his breath for eleven minutes, so please let me see the heroic appearance of the senior underwater another day. ”
“...... Eleven minutes?"
"You just said that. The red-haired Dragon King nodded, smiling heartily and purely, "In the eleventh minute of the battle, the Axe Tooth Dragon was too injured to fight again. ”
Narrator: "...... Well, I'm not that good at diving......"
The jokes of the two singing and harmonizing made the audience laugh again and again, and the tension caused by the fierce battle was also dispelled a lot.
"Alright, let's get down to business. The commentator cleared his throat, "Just now, the big bird of the Beidou player defeated the third opponent, which can be called the MVP of the whole game. And its trainer performance is even more impressive than the Pokémon itself - as we all know, high-speed command requires a trainer's extreme concentration, and ordinary people can't maintain extreme mental concentration for too long. However, the Beidou fighter seems to have easily broken the so-called 'limit', and he maintained a high frequency of command and zero mistakes throughout the entire battle between Dabitori and the Axe Tooth Dragon, guiding Dabito to victory. ”
The key points of the battle just now were replayed on the big screen, and the commentator exclaimed, "Eleven minutes of high-speed battle, this is not a scene that will occur in a regional league." ”
After a pause, his gaze rested on the screen of the black-clothed trainer giving orders, and nodded in agreement, "There is no doubt that this trainer has just done a remarkable thing. If you only compare the speed and durability of thinking, the strength of Beidou players in this aspect can even be compared with that of professional trainers. ”
On the field, Sayo is having a brief exchange with Dabitori to determine the status of the other party. And her opponent was already frowning, looking her up and down almost rudely.
The large hanging screen zoomed in on the trainer's face, allowing Bai Lan to see the person opposite more clearly. Despite the sunglasses, he could still see that Xiao Ye's expression was as usual, without the slightest trace of exhaustion.
Did I fail to push her to her limits? Or ......
Saya didn't know what her opponent was thinking at the moment. As the timeout drew to a close, Bai Lan finally sent his last general.
The blue and white humanoid Pokémon wielded the blade between his elbows, and the whirlwind swept through nearly half of the field, stirring up fine dust-
Sword Fighter, Eluredo.
Xiao Ye didn't look at the awe-inspiring heterochromatic Eloredo, but set her eyes on Dabi Bird, "What do you want to do?"
The golden bird did not hesitate. It turned its back to the trainer, spreading its disheveled but still broad wings.
After a long struggle with the Axetooth Dragon, its physical strength was almost exhausted, and its body was covered in scars. Tabido knows that resting will no longer allow it to regain its original combat strength, so any Pokémon with fighting spirit will make the same choice - to put the last of their physical strength on the field.
Xiao Ye nodded slightly, agreeing to Dabitori's choice.
The battle began, and the two trainers gave the command to attack at the same time, and the Tabitori rode the wind and swirled rapidly, sprinting towards the double-bladed glowing Eluredo.
Yan Hui had not yet hit the target, and the opponent's figure suddenly disappeared.
Xiaoye, who had been on guard against teleportation, immediately shouted the instruction to "move at high speed". But the bird's physical strength was almost exhausted, and every flap of its wings was as heavy as lead. Before it could speed up its efforts to dodge, a ghostly white shadow had already appeared behind the bird.
Xue Liang's spiritual blade was slashed down. The tidal wave of sharp pain spread from his back to his brain, and Tabitori finally lost his strength, and was suppressed by the sword fighter and fell to the ground hard, unable to get up again.
When the referee announced the result, some viewers let out a small sigh, as if they were still hoping that Dabitori would play another thrilling battle like just now. However, more people knew that Tabi was on the verge of the limit, and was not surprised by the outcome of this fight, but looked forward to the finale of another competitor.
"We're seeing the exhausted Dabi Bird finally pull out of the fray. Now the score of the two sides is 5-5, and only the last Pokémon remains, and winning this match point will win the quarterfinals. The commentator said, "However, for the Beidou players who have just played an eleven-minute high-speed battle, there is another difficulty to overcome - whether they can still maintain their condition in the final battle." If you lose your concentration due to the previous exhaustion, you will undoubtedly be easily defeated by Bai Lan and his ace Eluredo. ”
On the field, after Koyo retracted the big bird, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Unlike what she looks like, no matter how good she is at high-speed combat, she is still human after all, and she will feel tired. Eleven consecutive minutes of high-speed indication was not an easy task for Xiao Ye, not to mention that she and Bai Lan had been competing for more than half an hour before that.
Now, though, is not the time to relax.
After taking a deep breath, when she opened her eyes again, her eyes were still calm and keen, and absolute rationality covered up all the ripples under her eyes-
She had no intention of losing again.
"Charizard. ”
The figure has not appeared, and the roar has been heard. The orange dragon spat out a blazing pillar of fire into the sky, and as it stretched its wings, the heat wave slowly spread, and the figure of the fire dragon in the audience's field of vision distorted and deformed in the hot air, and even the brilliance of the midsummer sun seemed to become more dazzling.
The roar stopped, and Charizard's eyes widened at the graceful sword fighter opposite.
Of course it recognized the guy who had made it suffer defeat. In the hearts of this big guy who is getting more and more defeated, Eluredo's "worth fighting" rating has risen to the same level as the drillhorned rhinoceros in the back mountain of Zhenxin Town, second only to Yan and his own master. The flames on the tip of the overly excited Charizard's tail rose so loudly that it almost burned the corner of Night's clothes, so frightened that Pichu quickly jumped up and kicked it in the knee.
As a result, all the spectators watched Charizard roll to the designated position where the Pokémon appeared in a posture of "being kicked crookedly and rolling and crawling".
Charizard, who had its own laughter, took over the baton from the commentator, once again relaxing the audience. It didn't even notice it, and it didn't even hear whether the people around it were laughing or crying, and all it had in its eyes was the blue and white figure.
The referee standing on the sidelines confirmed the positions of the Pokémon on both sides, raised the colored flags in their hands, and said, "The game begins—"
"Flame vortex. ”
At the same time as the flag was waved, Xiao Ye shouted the order that had been prepared for a long time.
Charizard spits out crimson flames, not attacking opponents, but enveloping them in a vortex of fire.
Sure enough, as the flames overflowed, Eluredo also disappeared in place, apparently teleporting. Fortunately, Charizard's defense was timely, and the flame vortex disturbed the energy force field near it, and Eluredo's figure only flashed at the edge of the flames, and the light of the blade had to be temporarily dispersed, unable to attack Charizard in the first place.
Night's instructions followed, "Fire Oath." ”
Under the cover of the swirling wall of flames, Charizard slammed a punch to the ground, transmitting the majestic fire attribute energy to the ground through this punch.
In the next moment, countless pillars of fire rose from the ground. They are not densely distributed, and they can't directly block the opponent's actions like the Fire Oath of Fire, but they cover an area as large as half a field, turning the quarterfinals into a sea of fire.
Teleportation is a move that requires close positioning before use, and is easily disturbed by energy. On a battlefield full of active energy fluctuations, the positioning of teleportation will be severely distorted, and it will be difficult to perform it again. The scene of the chaotic pillars of fire rising and falling, extinguishing and erupting was no stranger to Eluredo—it was the second time he had seen the sea of flames created by Charizard.
It seems a bit extravagant that the Fire Oath that has been open for a long time is only used to block the teleportation of Eluredo, but Charizard doesn't care about the speed of energy consumption, and neither does Saya. At Night's command, Charizard donned a flaming suit and sprinted towards his opponent.
Seeing that Charizard had clearly seen Eluredo's melee ability but was still so bold, Bai Lan narrowed her eyes and gave the instruction of the "Spirit Blade".
Eluredo ran, the blades between his elbows shining again. However, Charizard didn't seem to have any intention of colliding head-on, and it cast a charged flame attack to avoid the sword light, and its body sank into the pillar of fire.
Before Eluredo could pursue, crimson fireballs flew out of the pillar of flames that Charizard had entered. Eluredo immediately launched a spiritual shock, and the fireball collided with the materialized shockwave, and the scattered sparks briefly formed a glittering curtain wall, obscuring Eluredo's vision.
Charizard took the opportunity to rush out immediately. However, although Eluredo's vision was blocked, Bai Lan did not miss the faint orange shadow in the sea of fire.
"Shock waves. ”
Aloredo unexpectedly released a golden electric light. A steady stream of electrical energy radiates in all directions like a spider's web, so there's no need to deliberately target your opponent. Charizard, which was flying rapidly, was electrocuted, and the prepared heavy punch suddenly froze.
At the moment when the flame dragon's movements stopped, Eluredo immediately jumped high, and the sword light surrounding the electric current slashed from top to bottom. Charizard hastily grabbed Eluredo's arm with his flaming fist, but was numbed by the electric shock wave around it again, and fell to the ground with a detached dog.
Without thinking, Eluredo launched a pursuit, and Charizard's body suddenly lit up as it fell to the ground.
Bai Lan quickly gave the instruction to "back away". Aluredo did a somersault and brushed against the heat waves. At the same time, pillars of blazing fire rose from the ground beneath Charizard's body, enveloping Charizard's body like a protective shield. Brandy could see that there was a mixture of crimson flames—it was the appearance of the "Purgatory" move, which would cause the victim to fall into a state of burn, which was a must for the physical attacker Eloredo.
Charizard's menacing roar rang out from the flames. It rushed out like a fiery beast in a wave of heat, and Night's voice rang out at the same time, "Shadow Claw." ”
"Shadow doppelganger. After hearing Xiaoye's command, Bai Lan immediately said. With nowhere to borrow his strength in the air, it would be unwise to collide with a ghostly move that restrained it in such a state.
The blue-and-white sword fighter sparked countless shadows, but Charizard didn't use any shadow claws—it burst out in flames once more, its speed increasing again with the boost of the Charged Flame Attack, shattering all false shadows almost instantly.
Bai Lan frowned, realizing that it was Charizard's code words that had been discussed with Xiao Ye in advance. This kind of false instructions deliberately arranged for a certain game is not uncommon, but Bai Lan herself does not like such a trick.
With the time the shadow clone had gained, Eluredo landed steadily, and the white glow of the twin blades meant that it was ready to attack. The seemingly menacing Charizard did not crash headlong into Eluredo, but spun up sharply before the collision and flew into the air.
After a short fight, Bai Lan had already seen the intentions of Xiao Ya and Charizard.
Compared to the "fireworks-style play" of Dabitori, which pours out all its attack moves in one go, Charizard's current combat style is closer to the "guerrilla tactics" on the field. With the help of speed and change of moves, maneuvering with opponents, finding their flaws and sniping them, Charizard itself has more physical strength and continuous output than the Tabibird, and can completely control this style of play.
After thinking about all this, he just stared at the arena with cold eyes and did not try to break the situation.
Eluredo is a fighting Pokémon that has undergone rigorous training, and Bai Lan doesn't think that Eluredo will show his flaws first in this kind of pediatric guerrilla. This is a real opportunity for Eluredo.
Charizard, who seemed to have made up his mind not to be tough, drilled through the flying pillars of fire. Eluredo is a Pokémon with a keen sense, but its strong fire-based energy prevents it from accurately detecting Charizard's location. A steady stream of flame power poured from Charizard's body into the ground and erupted again, and even if Eluredo tried to briefly shatter the pillars of fire with a psychic shock, it could not permanently cut off their source.
Seeing Charizard rushing at Charizard with its flaming fists again, Ranka spotted the moment and quickly said, "Wide-area defense." ”
A rock-colored barrier appeared in front of the sword fighter. This move, which had one of the best defensive ranges, suddenly expanded, and was used as an attack by Eluredo, knocking Charizard over before it could change direction, causing its smooth flight path to get stuck in the middle of it. Eloredo jumped to his feet at once, his blade glittering with cold light slashing straight at Charizard.
"Air slash. ”
The deaf and clear-eyed Eluredo caught Saya's deliberately suppressed voice. Seeing that Charizard's wings were already showing signs of waving, it immediately stopped and raised its arms, ready to meet the attack of the Wind Blade whose attributes restrained it. However, Charizard's wings unleashed not air blades, but explosive flames.
The flame dragon's body was propelled by the flames to soar into the air, and it circled twice ostentatiously. Annoyed by missing the opportunity to defend the area, Eluredo stared at the annoying Charizard in the sky, eager to knock it down immediately.
At this time, the trainer of the sword fighter showed a contemplative look.
Besides, this "real command" is also a Charged Flame Attack?
Looking at the increasingly swift and swift figure of the Yan Dragon in the air, like a fiery meteor, Bai Lan suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Could it be ......
====================
Small Theatre:
The flames on the tip of the overly excited Charizard's tail rose so loudly that it almost burned the corner of Night's clothes, so frightened that Pichu quickly jumped up and kicked it in the knee. As a result, all the spectators watched Charizard roll to the designated position where the Pokémon appeared in a posture of "being kicked crookedly and rolling and crawling".
Flame in the Little Sky Poké Ball: ............ (sighs silently) (mixed feelings) (I didn't save the face of the fire dragon clan today)
