Unlike Pokémon such as the Rainwing Moth, Kiripha's original companion, Dachiranium, was able to master not many moves that gave ailments. Aside from the Grass Flute, which is not suitable for use in combat, "Poison" is its only weapon.

As a result, the Dachiranium has carefully honed its toxins under the guidance of its trainers, and non-poisonous Pokémon will feel intense pain even if they are slightly contaminated. Even the mighty Tanabata Bluebird is no exception.

Kyoji knew that it was a very stupid act to be stunned in the battle, but he was still stunned by the unbelievable scene in front of him.

Toxic state...... When, exactly?!

Naturally, the geraniums and paulownia did not miss the flaws exposed by the Tanabata bluebird. As if he had expected to be slammed into the flight by the divine bird, the pain did not make the geranium panic, it smoothly flipped in the air for a few weeks, and while landing steadily, the wall of leaves stained with poisonous powder pounced on the Tanabata bluebird without saying a word.

The mournful song of the Tanabata bluebird was almost hoarse. And the magic leaves have struck again, and countless sharp leaf blades are flying around the Tanabata Blue Bird, leaving scars on the body of the dazzling golden bird.

Kiripa looked at the painful appearance of the Tanabata bluebird, lowered his eyelids with a gloomy expression, and the last command sounded softly, "Crazy plant." ”

The huge roots of the tree burst out of the ground and entangled the Tanabata Blue Bird like the tentacles of a monster. In the past, the lilting Tanabata bluebird could avoid these bulky plants by flapping its wings, but the pain caused by the toxin was at its peak, and it was powerless to care about its surroundings. Each blow of the monster's tentacles hit the target, and the heavy force penetrated the flesh and poured deep into the bones of the Tanabata Blue Bird.

The bird's white wings soon became dirty, and feathers fell off. After a long time, the crazy dance of the plants slowly stopped—the Tanabata bluebird was already unable to get up.

"Tanabata bluebird loses its ability to fight, and Dachiranium wins. The winner of this match was Kiriha Aoki-"

The silent quartz arena was immediately set ablaze by the noise. The shouts of shock were louder than cheers, and no one could have imagined that an unknown breeder could go toe-to-toe with Kyoharu Kusama, let alone that the No. 1 seed in this league would be defeated.

Countless questioning and condemning eyes fell on Jingji, and he seemed to be unconscious, staring at the fallen Tanabata Blue Bird on the field, his eyes full of remorse.

It's been a long time since he's felt such a strong unwillingness after a loss. For no other reason, he originally wanted to use this battle to convey something to his friends - but it is the winner's right to express his opinion, and he lost to Kiripa, so what position does he have to teach him?

The slightly trembling fist clenched and released. Eventually, the chestnut-haired boy walked to the center of the arena and smiled as usual at his friend, who looked a little gloomy.

"Congratulations on your victory, Kiritha. ”

In the audience, the expressions of the four people wearing the same clothes also miraculously agreed.

Xiao Ling looked at her friends who were also blank with a blank face, and asked hesitantly, "Do you understand......

All three of them replied to Xiao Ling with an unwavering shake - although the final battle was very short, the whole process took less than two minutes, but it was far more difficult to understand than the first two. Not only them, but the vast majority of the audience are also at a loss.

Seeing that the other party's inquiring eyes were cast on him, Xiao Ye said helplessly, "I have been paying attention to the movements of the geranium with the power of the waveguide, but I still haven't found out how it poisoned the Tanabata bluebird." ”

When facing the onslaught of Tanabata Bluebird's divine bird, Geranium is always focused on controlling the magic leaf and poison powder to intercept the opponent, and Saya can be sure that it has not made any small moves. Rao used up all her brains, and she didn't guess how the Tanabata Blue Bird was poisoned out of thin air.

After pondering for a while, the four of them finally gave up the struggle and looked at the adults sitting on either side.

The white-haired old man and the silver-haired young man glanced at each other, smiled together and pointed upward.

The four children looked up in unison, and their eyes were shaken by the sun in unison, and the golden retriever brothers and sisters shouted that the sunglasses' defense against flashes needed to be strengthened and upgraded. Finally squinting their eyes and seeing the clear and cloudless sky, everyone was even more dazed.

"What's wrong with the sky?" Xiao Jie was about to stare out of the ultimate hole in the sky, and he didn't find any mystery.

Xiao Tian, who had been pondering for a long time, suddenly seemed to realize something, and asked hesitantly, "...... Are they petals?"

"That's right. Xinghai said with a smile.

Seeing that his grandson and granddaughter were still confused, Yuan Zheng leaned over to the children and explained with a smile, "Of course, just staring at the geranium can't find the truth, because the poison fell from the sky." ”

Everyone was stunned.

If you were to answer "What fell the most from the sky in this battle", everyone would answer "petals". At the beginning of the battle, the geranium used a large scatter of falling flowers, and the petals that failed to hit the target began to fall after flying to the highest point, and until the end of the battle, the petals continued to fall.

"Could it be that the petals are stained with poisonous powder?" Xiao Jie muttered in wonder, "But that little bit of poisonous powder can't poison the Tanabata Blue Bird......

"What if it's not a little poisonous powder, but a few petals with a highly poisonous liquid wrapped in the center?" Yuan Zheng clasped his hands together and made a sandwich bread motion.

"And then, if it's not one petal, but many petals falling together?" Xinghai added with a smile.

The four of them looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, they sighed sincerely: "My God." ”

It didn't take two more explanations from the two adults with "Praise me" written on their faces, and everyone already understood what had happened on the field a minute ago.

At the beginning of the use of the Falling Flowers, the geranium "added" to it, and deliberately chose a flight path that was almost straight up and down. Then, it watches for the moment when the petals are about to fall, luring the Tanabata bluebird to crash into it - the light petals are susceptible to air currents, and it is difficult to determine the exact landing point at the time of launch. Therefore, the geranium stays in the range where the petals may fall, and uses itself as a target to change direction to lock the flight trajectory of the Tanabata bluebird. When the Tanabata bluebird hit it, the poisonous petal rain also happened to fall on the back of the Tanabata bluebird.

And throughout the battle, the colorful petals of the fallen flowers have been falling one after another, and everyone has become accustomed to the appearance of colorful flowers in the field of vision, and it is impossible to notice the highly poisonous petals mixed in it. Even Xiao Ye, who has always maintained waveguide detection, regards touching the flowers of the Tanabata bluebird as an irrelevant factor that is no different from dust.

It's easy to say, but this series of processes requires too much control of moves and timing, and the slightest mistake will fall on the geranium himself. At least Xiao Ya couldn't imagine how the Dachione Geranium had made the Tanabata Blue Bird arrive in the right position at that moment through its own displacement and the interference of the magic leaf.

"If someone had told me that they wanted to hit their opponent with a high throw with a heavy blow, I would have thought he was a 'cloud trainer'. Xiaojie trembled, "It's terrible, this is not something that we non-vocational trainers can do at all......"

The others nodded one after another, also indicating that Kiriba had refreshed their cognition. And Xinghai had a sturdy and long-lasting business smile on his face, and cast his eyes on the field.

The boy with long dark green hair was talking to a tired geranium. His demeanor was soft, with his usual smile, and the scene continued to magnify in Xinghai's eyes, and his attention finally fixed on the bright color of the special Poké Ball in the young man's hand.

The young investigator was silent, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Did I overthink it? Or ......

By the time reporters were blasting out the news of the No. 1 seed's loss, the two players had already exited. The second match of the afternoon was a showdown between Xiao Tian and the No. 2 seed Greyhound.

Fifteen minutes before the start of the game, Xiao Tian stood up calmly, intending to go to the contestants' tunnel to prepare first.

“……”

Against the three scorching glances that were about to burn through the back of his head, he paused for a moment, but still couldn't help but turn his head away.

The three trench coat men stared at him deadly, their eyes almost piercing their sunglasses. Seeing him turn around before leaving, Xiao Ye's face immediately showed an expression of "Ah, you must need some encouragement", and said solemnly, "Xiao Tian, come on, you are the strongest in my heart." ”

Xiaotian: "............"

No, please don't use a response that doesn't match your image......

After sighing helplessly, Xiao Tian said, "Don't worry, it will end soon." ”

With that, he left the audience without looking back, leaving the other three to look at each other.

He ...... Is he confident that he will crush the gray hound?" Xiao Jie said in a trembling voice, suspecting that something was wrong with his brain for the eighty-second time today.

It didn't take long for the fidgeting guys to understand the meaning of "it will end soon" in Xiaotian's words.

The time for the second game has arrived, but Xiao Tian's opponent has never appeared. In the uproar of the audience, twenty minutes passed, and the referee had no choice but to announce that the gray dog had abandoned the race, and the winner was Qianfan.

The trumpet trench coat men sitting in the audience only felt that their minds had been filled with question marks by Kiriba and Xiaotian successively, and they had almost lost the ability to think normally. It wasn't until I saw the reporter's interview with the "Thousand Sail Runners" who retired on the big screen that everyone's doubts were answered.

According to Xiao Tian, he once encountered a gray dog in the contestant's village last night. The other party was carrying a travel bag and looked like he was about to leave, and when he saw him, he casually told him that he had urgent business to do and would not attend tomorrow's game.

Greyhound is a guy who doesn't care about anything other than fighting and annihilating poaching groups, and he can do it without informing the organizers of withdrawing from the tournament without informing them. Even the notice to Xiao Tian that is no more than twenty words may have happened to meet Xiao Tiancai and mentioned it casually.

No matter how the crowd fried, Xiao Tian, who ended the interview, still calmly walked back to his seat, and sure enough, he received a chatter complaint from his little friend, "Why didn't you tell us earlier that we were worried for fifteen minutes". He just pretended that he hadn't heard anything, and turned his head to look at the empty seat next to him, "Where's Xiaoye?"

"I'm going to buy cold drinks for everyone. Xiaojie replied.

Xiao Tian nodded, and didn't ask why Xiao Ye went to buy it. Even if she hadn't been the one who had come up with the cold drink first—or a 99 percent chance it wasn't—she would have taken on the errands on the grounds that "I'm a fast runner."

Two minutes later, Xiao Ye made her way through the crowd with incredible efficiency, returning with a pile of bottles and cans, and distributing everyone's drinks in turn. Xiaojie and Xiaoling are undoubtedly soda lovers, and Xinghai ordered afternoon black tea with a strange brand name. Yuan Zheng wanted to have a bottle of beer heroically, but after being unanimously opposed by his grandson and granddaughter, he had to aggrieved and chose a bottle of wine-flavored juice for the little girl to drink.

The bottles in Xiao Ye's arms were soon reduced to two. She took one out of it and handed it to Xiao Tian with a smile, "This is your share." ”

Xiao Tian thanked him casually, and was stunned after taking the cold bottle.

He looked at the incomparably familiar pomelo juice in his hand, and then cast his surprised gaze on Xiao Ye.

====================

Small Theatre:

Sayo: Mr. Hoshimi, what do you think would be more effective in encouraging your friends who are about to compete?

Xinghai: (smiling) I think it's good to say that - come on, you're the strongest in my heart. While cheering for my friends, I also expressed my trust, and I would be very touched if someone said that to me.

Sayo: (Dawning on me) I see, I've learned. (Turning his head) Xiaotian, come on, you are the strongest in my heart!

Xiaotian: .................. (Don't make a fuss) (Please)
