No.325 If a bird dances with the wind

The dull crashing sound rang out one after another, and the waves of air stirred up sand and dust, blurring the vision.

However, such thin soot was not enough to interfere with Bai Lan's observations. He is not a novice who only stares at Pokémon during the battle, and the feathers that fall in the violent collision seem inconspicuous, but in fact, they have long been noticed by Bai Lan.

The boy did not give any instructions about this. In order to limit the rhythm of the bird's attack, Marilu constantly used water jets to compensate for its speed weakness, and the continuous displacement and impact of the collision caused the Feather Dance to scatter and fall all over the field, and it was impossible to touch Marilu itself, even if Bai Lan ignored it.

In Bai Lan's opinion, such a tactic is too clumsy and not suitable for an eight-finalist. However, before he looked at the trainer opposite him dissatisfiedly, Xiao Ye suddenly instructed, "Tornado." ”

The big bird, which had been chasing closely, unusually took the initiative to pull away and waved its wide wings to set off a hurricane. The feathers scattered around were controlled by the wind, and they gathered towards the center of the tornado.

At a glance, Bai Lan saw a feather flying from behind Marilu, and immediately gave the order to jump. Marilou, who was a little dazed, quickly jumped up and avoided the dangerous feathers.

"Frozen beams. ”

The tornado mixed with feathers intensified, and the silver-blue light shot straight straight without fear. The tornado of the Tabi Bird is not very powerful, and Bai Lan believes that the frozen beam of the ice attribute can directly pierce the tornado and touch the bird behind the wind wall.

On the other side, the purple-haired trainer didn't seem to sense the danger approaching, and just stared intently at the tornado. When the fluttering feathers were finally attached to the very center of the whirlwind, she spoke, "Hot wind. ”

The bird's move changed, and a blazing wave of air replaced the tornado.

It was a hurricane that burned enough to burn a Pokémon, and the temperature was no less than that of a bright flame. All the feathers were ignited in an instant, and the wind propelled them like flaming arrows to the ground.

Marilu instinctively wanted to retreat and dodge, but the hot wind turned in its direction, and the fire arrows that had been advancing straight were scattered in all directions. The blue water rat was stunned for a moment, looking at the irregularly flying feathers in front of him, and was dazzled by the chaotic flames.

Bai Lan suddenly realized something. He tried to order Marilu to defend himself with a jet of water, but the speed of the wind was far faster than humans could react to—Tabito flicked its wings again, and the orange fire bolt swirled in a circle, striking Marilu from behind.

Hot Wind is a fire-attribute move, and the damage to the water-type Marilu is negligible, not to mention that the temperature of the air wave that has been turned several times on the way has been significantly reduced, and the lethality is not as good as that of a burning fire arrow. However, to everyone's surprise, upon touching the flames, the water rat suddenly let out a high-pitched cry.

Seeing Marilou clutching her burned tail and screaming in pain, Bai Lan frowned.

Like many water-based Pokémon, Marilu's body is full of water and is not afraid of fire. There is one exception - the end of its tail is filled with grease lighter than water, which can act as a buoy. This feature allows it not to drown in fast-flowing rivers and swim through dangerous waters with ease.

Flammable grease has very different properties from water. Marilu's grease-filled tail was not fire-resistant, and the burns from its burning feathers were so painful that it could no longer attack with its most powerful tail for a short time.

"Water jets!"

Bai Lan's order was long overdue. Marilu endured the pain and controlled the flow of water to wrap her whole body, and the cool water finally alleviated the burning pain in her tail a little.

However, the sudden pain has already made it too flawed. The jet of water had just started, and before Marilu's feet left the ground, the golden birds were already flying like meteors.

The impact of the flash of lightning caused Marilu to roll in the air a few times, and suddenly lost all sense of direction. Seeing that this was not good, Bai Lan immediately said, "Frozen wind!"

Marilou didn't have time to adjust her posture and spat out a cold stream of air without saying a word. Frozen Wind has a large attack range and doesn't require fine aiming, so it's a great way to temporarily slow down your opponent's attacks-

If the attacker is not a Tabiko.

Bai Lan's voice had not yet fallen, and Xiao Ye's command had already been issued closely, "Yan Hui." ”

The Tabi bird whirled rapidly in the air, brushing the air currents of the frozen wind, and once again crashed into Marilu. The blue water rat fell headlong to the ground, and after hearing the trainer's hurried "roll" instructions, he quickly curled up his body, stumbled and rolled over, and finally removed most of the impact of falling to the ground.

"Steel wings. ”

Without Marilu's power to suppress it, Night's command speed soared. The bird swooped down with a long song, its wings flashing with metallic silver.

Bai Lan watched closely at the movement of the bird, and as soon as it was about to fly directly above Marilu, she said, "Climb the waterfall—"

"Moving at high speeds. ”

Marilu, who was performing a rolling move, suddenly stopped, bathed in water and bounced up—such a surprise attack should have caught people off guard, but Saya's instructions almost overlapped with those of Bailan, and the boy couldn't even tell if it was based on his own instructions.

Dabi Bird decisively aborted the attack of Steel Wing, and easily avoided the surprise attack of the waterfall with explosive acceleration. The next moment, along with the instructions of the trainer "Yan Hui", a dazzling blue light emanated from the body of the bird. Marilou, who had failed to climb the waterfall, had no power to dodge, and the bird's sharp beak turned into a sharp blade and pecked at the water rat.

The wind whistled and Marylou's scarred body fell to the ground, silent.

"Marilu loses her ability to fight, and Tabito wins. Ask the white brand player to change the Pokémon-"

In the audience, Xiaojie happily dragged Yangzhen and jumped up when the referee's voice fell.

Marilu has already fallen, and Maya's Tabitori is barely injured, which is half of the disadvantage of the first half!

The gray-haired boy stared at the big golden bird on the field, and his face became even more stinky.

Although defeating his little night to a little imp head will make him very unhappy...... But looking at this big bird that caused him to bite his tongue all the way up, it was even more unpleasant!

Only those who have fought Saya head-on can truly appreciate the pressure of high-speed commands. Yojin once tried to break through head-on, but before the signs of a counterattack appeared, he was smashed by the opponent. The same is true for Bai Lan, who has watched the video of the battle between Dabi Bird and the Dream Demon many times, but the actual difficulty of facing it is still beyond expectations.

"The first battle of the second half came to an end, and it was the Beidou player who won the victory. It can be seen that his mentality is very stable, and he has not been shaken by the loss in the first half, and is recovering the disadvantage little by little. In the gap between changing Pokémon, the commentator said, "We also saw such a scene in yesterday's round of 16 - the high-speed combat method of the Beidou players is really strong, and even the Bailan players have not been able to find a breakthrough point in the rhythm of the opponent." Mr. Wataru, what do you think?"

The red-haired young man stared at the figure of the black-clothed trainer on the big screen, seemed to be a little distracted, and paused for a few seconds before answering, "Indeed, this kind of reaction speed can only be honed by years of combat experience, and it is difficult for newcomers to the competition to deal with." ”

After the camera moved away from his face, Wataru frowned slightly.

The rhythm of the player's instructions by the name of Beidou is indeed beyond the reach of newcomers, and even those who have been fighting from time to time find it difficult to think so quickly and accurately without professional training.

On the other hand, the tactics and strategies used by Beidou have no traces of experience, but match his height, like a newcomer who has been fledgling for less than a year. Such a strange contradiction made Du wonder, but now was really not the time to be distracted, so he had to bury his confusion in his heart for the time being.

On the field, Blanc was silent and retracted Marilu. He had been expecting Sayo to burst out stronger before the match, but when Sayo used this "extraordinary" technique, his expression became even colder.

His gaze shifted from Dabi Bird to the black-clad trainer, and he stared at the person opposite him with a question mark on his face before retracting it. Subsequently, Bai Lan sent the next Pokémon.

It was a snow-white Pokémon with horns on its head. It is said to be sensitive to changes in the sky and the earth, and has the ability to predict disasters - Absolu, Calamity Pokémon, evil attribute.

In ancient times, Absoru was misunderstood as a Pokémon that would invite disaster, and people avoided it and even drove it deep into the mountains. But now people have long understood that this race is only a harbinger of natural disasters, and most of them are gentle and loyal, and they are the favorite companion Pokémon of modern people.

Bai Lan had not used this Absoru in previous matches. Sayo quickly recalls Absolu's traits and good moves, and gestures to Tabito, signaling him to continue the fight.

"Shadow clone!"

The game began, and two voices sounded at the same time. The snow-white four-legged beast and the golden bird conjured up countless clones at the same time, and the trainer's next command arrived.

"Yan returns. ”

"Whirlwind knives. ”

Tabinio swooped down with a number of shadow clones and unleashed the attack it did best. Halfway through the flight, it discovered the problem - Absolu released almost twice as many clones as it, and nearly half of the field was filled with Absolus running or jumping, even if the Dabi Bird flew fast, it was difficult to break all the clones in a short time.

Sayo vaguely remembered that the shadow clone was Absolu's "upgrade move" that could be learned naturally, and it was normal to be more proficient than the shadow clone that he learned the day after tomorrow. She immediately changed the instructions, "Hot air." ”

The bird flew back into the air, sending a blazing wave of air to the ground. At this moment, Absolu's whirlwind knife had also completed its accumulation, and the blue light surrounded the air blade shot out continuously, colliding with the hot wind.

The hot wind spread, and Absolu's clones shattered like foam. And in the next second, the big bird suddenly let out a sharp chirp.

The sharp whirlwind knife had pierced the fire energy of the hot air. The power of the two moves shouldn't have been so different, but when all the clones were gone, Xiao Ye realized that the blue light was not all the effect of the shadow clones—Absolu was surrounded by a vortex of air, and countless air blades were quietly levitating behind him, waiting for the next shot.

The Whirlwind Blade, also known as the "Scythe", is one of the best moves of the Absolu clan. The void that the shadow clone had secured allowed Absoru to complete the scythe's charge, and it ran as fast as it could, with each step, new blades emerging in place and firing one after another. Suddenly, the flying qi blade was like a cyan feather, sprinkling a hazy brilliance on the entire battlefield.

The Whirlwind Knife's attack speed is fast, but it is not too dense, and it stands to reason that the Tabito should be easily avoided. However, just a few seconds later, the Tabi bird struck again, and the sickle sliced its beautiful feathers, leaving a long scar on its back.

Sayo immediately sensed the crux of the matter.

The Whirlwind Knife is a move that requires charging. Absoru charged the new Wind Blade while firing the Whirlwind Blade, thus completing a continuous attack without gaps. However, its Whirlwind Blade has a very erratic charge time, short duration, and is unpredictable, while the Wind Blade flies extremely fast, constantly changing the direction of its attacks as Absoru runs. In the face of attacks from all directions, it is important to predict the timing of the attack based on the opponent's movements, and Absoru's actions undoubtedly invalidate Tabiro's ability to predict completely. By the time the Wind Blade is launched, it's often too late to dodge.

What's more-

Absoru seized a gap and lunged forward with ferocity, his hideous scythe-shaped horns slashing at the Tabi Bird with a black glow. Tired of dodging the Whirlwind Knife, Dabito failed to detect the attack from behind, and barely managed to avoid the key point under the instructions of Sayo, but still had his wings cut by the secret attack.

This Absoru has mastered the Whirlwind Knife to the point where it is no less powerful than the Forest Lizard to cast a magic leaf, and is able to distract from other moves even when firing the Whirlwind Knife continuously.

Obviously, this "time difference" style of play is designed to disrupt the trainer's calculations - countless unpredictable wind blades can greatly interfere with the trainer's judgment, and for the opponent of the fast attack stream, this tactic is more effective than Marilu's brute force, and Tabitori has not even found the slightest chance to speed up from the beginning of the fight until now.

Xiao Ye could feel the eyes of the boy on the other side falling on her. The gaze was straightforward and scorching, even a little provocative.

"Dabi Bird. ”

The golden bird understood the trainer's call. It spreads its wings and emits a high-pitched birdsong, its gaze locked on its opponent on the ground.

The purple eyes behind the sunglasses calmly looked around the audience, taking in every movement of Absolu. Saya adjusted her breathing, all the superfluous emotions in her mind receded, and her pure computing power worked at maximum power.

- Since that's what you're expecting, I'll show you the "speed" crack.
