No.54 Rest and intelligence and sharp signs
The "Feathered Guest" runs away from the wrong room, and it is not until she returns to the hallway that she sees several girls in light-colored yukata walking out of the next bathroom, laughing and talking.
She hurriedly went back to her room and changed into a goose yellow yukata of the same style and different colors, and decided to write three times in the opinion book tomorrow: "It is recommended to use a bold font number one next to the wardrobe to indicate the male and female models". As for the costume, or the face, which brings more misunderstanding......
Sayo decided not to think about it.
It was late when the two of them checked into the hotel, and by the time she stepped into the sulfur-smelling bathroom, the hot spring pool was empty. The area enclosed by a wooden fence is quite spacious, and it looks like enough for a dozen people to be in it and wash away their fatigue. There is no ceiling above, and the stars are embedded in the night, casting their twinkling reflections onto the water.
After quickly finishing the shower, Xiao Ye approached the hot spring, only to see a fireball rat lying on the edge of the pool, with a wooden sign standing next to it, and the book - "If you want to make the water hot, please ask me!"
The girl suddenly laughed, and before entering the hot spring, she couldn't help but reach out and stroke the soft fluff on the back of the fireball rat, and chirped at the touch of it.
Fortunately, the trauma caused by the battle in the Valley of Flames had healed, and the fractures to be repaired did not affect the water, so Xiao Ye was able to enjoy a hot spring baptism - during this time, because she stared at the fireball rat for too long, the little one would be mistaken, and she was full of enthusiasm to add a fire to the water that was originally just the right temperature, and almost cooked the people inside to the night.
Half an hour later, the two of them returned to the room, and the hotel had already delivered the freshly prepared dinner. Raw shrimp, tempura, hors d'oeuvres, rice and miso soup – this is the standard for people in ancient times to dine on formal occasions between Guandu and Johto, and it is a perfect match for the hotel's décor.
Xiao Ye and Xiao Tian are both exemplary characters who "write essays even when traveling", and it is especially rare to see times like this when you don't have to rush, don't do night training, and don't think about tactics and training lists, and both of them feel a little fresh. They sat on either side of the table and chairs under the eaves, eating and chatting - the only fly in the ointment was that sometimes they had to talk at the top of their voices, because the Pokémon in the nearby courtyard were so noisy.
The new moon rises and spreads a layer of bright silver white for the courtyard. Xiao Ye remembered that the golden retriever brother and sister curiously asked to see the appearance of the hot spring hotel a day ago, and was about to pick up the mobile phone, when he suddenly touched the edge of the table and dropped an envelope.
Xiao Ye only thought it was a special style of propaganda leaflet, and after taking a photo of the courtyard and sending it to the group, she opened the envelope, and the handwriting on the paper made her stunned for a moment.
"What?" asked Xiao Tian.
The girl flipped the letter over and showed it to her companion—it was only two short lines.
[I heard that a lot of wooden houses have been built on Fengxue Mountain recently, and they all look a little old, like a backward mountain village a few decades ago. This is a rare sight, so don't miss it. - Igora Onho Stay]
"Is this ......?" said Saya tentatively.
"The battlefield of the Battle of Wind and Snow. Xiao Tian confirmed his friend's speculation.
When it comes to the Battle of the Snowstorm, the trainers of the Orange Islands know about it - both because of its generous gifts and because of its unique rules.
Unlike most tournament-focused events, Blizzard Battles usually don't have a fixed battle mode and are more like an immersive RPG. Contestants join in as a backstory, looking for clues and solving mysteries while playing the role of "default identity", and working hard to bring the story to a good ending. It's so flexible that the winner doesn't even have to fight - remember that in a classic Dragon Quest-themed Blizzard Campaign, a brave man drunk a Pokémon playing the dragon with three barrels of wine, making the whole scene ridiculous.
The Bingmi family, which hosted the event, also seemed to enjoy this, except for the creation of the backstory and the construction of the venue, almost all the NPCs in the story were played by the Bingmi clan - it is worth mentioning that since the absurd ending of the evil dragon being drunk, the villain boss of the annual Blizzard Battle is served by the most respected elite trainer of the Himi family, and he no longer dares to give the task to Pokémon.
Considering that the start of the competition is approaching, the recently built village must have been built as a facility for the competition.
In previous years, in order to prevent "plot leakage", the Wind and Snow Mountain was forbidden for tourists to enter before the start of the game, and only the people of the flames, who had a good relationship with the ice people, could get such inside information. Saya felt a little weak-hearted, but after the upright avatar Xiaotian lightly stated that pre-match intelligence gathering was part of the game, he was relieved and turned to think about how to thank the innkeeper who provided important information.
Her gaze swept over the screen of her phone, which was filled with long exclamations from the golden retrievers about the view of the courtyard, and she lamented, "I think they're going to love a game like this." It's a pity that their practice is not over yet. ”
As she spoke, Xiao Ye suddenly had an idea.
"Xiaotian, the 21st of this month is Xiaojie and Xiaoling's birthday, have you decided what gift to give?"
"Not yet. The silver-haired boy replied, turning his inquiring gaze to the person opposite.
"What do you think of that......
Early the next morning.
After breakfast, the owner of Fengming Hall recommended a lot of nearby attractions and restaurants to the two. It's a pity that the essay writers couldn't hold back their hands and said that they were going to play, but in fact they went to the wilderness on the outskirts of the city to study new training.
After learning that "the battlefield of the Battle of Wind and Snow was a village and town decades ago", both of them guessed that the focus of this attack might be "street fighting".
Unlike battles in the ring or in the open field, street battles take place in cities, where they are mixed with each other, and the environment of the streets is complex, with limited visibility and firepower, and most of the time it is necessary to avoid excessive damage to buildings, which can be difficult to fight.
It is said that street fighting is a key topic in the actual combat-related majors of every trainer training academy, but for freelance trainers who have never studied school for a day, this is really a big problem - not only Xiaoye, but also his knowledgeable peers like Xiaotian have no research on it.
The power of the waveguide can provide a lot of help without dead angles, but who knows if there will be someone in the Bingjian family who has a bad eye and throws a detection jammer into the field.
Xiao Ye didn't plan to trouble Xiao Tian anymore, and was deciding to go to the bookstore to buy a book for a while, or to teach her practical experience to the Pokémon first. Unexpectedly, after hearing her say, "I have some experience myself, but I won't be able to teach it all to Pokémon for a while"—Xiao Tian mistakenly focused on the first half of the sentence, and triggered the buff of "Mr. Dutiful Captain", and seriously asked Xiao Ye to show her "some experience" to what extent it was.
"Some experienced trainers" naturally agreed, and at the same time, he was secretly glad that Xiaotian didn't ask how the experience came from - the skills required to make up lies in an instant are too high to achieve for the time being, and he can't tell the truth, saying that when he was a child, under the leadership of the weird master in the social circle, he fought with people on the street, and he couldn't finish his summer vacation homework?
In order to simulate the environment of street fighting, Shakirath used the power of the earth to create a number of mud walls of varying heights. In order to ensure the complexity of the terrain, the appearance of the mud walls was determined by Ghost Stone - as a result, after ten minutes, the entire site was distorted to resemble some abstract work of art. Rao Yiyi Xiaoye and Xiaotian's calmness couldn't help but gasp in unison, and hurriedly motioned for Shakirath to pinch out a few earthen embryo houses and stand in them, so that it still looked like a rough model of the street, not a relic left by aliens.
If you want to find out the ability, a real battle is naturally the fastest. The two agreed on the drill method in a few words - Xiao Tian is responsible for acting as a "rampage criminal", regardless of the environment, with the sole goal of "harming the opponent", while Xiao Ya plays the role in her true colors, trying to defeat Xiao Tian's Pokémon while trying to protect the street from being destroyed as much as possible.
This strange way of fighting made the Pokémon full of curiosity, and they gathered around to see it. Eventually, with the exception of the forest lizards and grass turtles who were diligently practicing their energy balls, the other Pokémon were content to climb the high platform made of rock blades, and they could see what the "mud alley" was looking like when they poked their necks.
After all, during the vacation, the two did not drive the Pokémon back to train on their own. After Mu Mu Xiao and Snow Boy pulled their throats and made a "cooing" sound, the battle began.
Xiao Tian opened the waveguide detection almost immediately. But the opponent was obviously prepared, and the ripples that came back were only sand and gravel and earth, without the slightest human breath.
In the case of waveguides, the boy was the forerunner, and immediately realized that she should have used the technique taught by her father - adjusting her own ripples to match the environment to achieve the concealment effect. Thanks to Ghost Stone's genius, every part of the mud in the alley is twisted and unnatural, and it is impossible to tell where the real mud is and where the fake mud is with experience.
However, it also says one thing.
The effect of the ripple adjustment covers the body at most, and it will never help the Pokémon's body to cover it together. In other words, now Saya didn't release the Pokémon she chose before, Pichu and Ghost Stone.
Thinking of this, the "Rampage Criminal" immediately became fearless, and swaggered through the dirt alley with the shock beast, trying to capture the opponent's location with a telegraph.
And the exchange of fire took place without warning.
Countless walls and corners became the best cover for the attackers. Every flash of lightning and ghost fire seemed to reveal the location of Xiao Ye, but Xiao Tian searched for it with a fleeting Pokémon aura, but could not find any traces, only ghostly attacks continued to be staged.
He had tried to climb to the vantage point, but there was no one as far as his eyes could see, and the harassing ghost fire had come out of the blind spot with precision. He also tried to make the water Ibu prop up the water ring, and the shock beast attached the electricity to it, and swept the surrounding area in one go, but not only did he find nothing, but the shock beast was still charging up and took two more hits, so angry that it just wanted to hit the swollen bag on its head and just want to land a thunderbolt and blow the mud alley flat.
The perpetrator only felt like a poor civilian who had been beaten, and before he could figure out how to break the situation, he suddenly heard a "boom" sound not far away.
He subconsciously looked up and saw that the walls of the three-story mud house next to him had broken into slag for unknown reasons. And the girl who had been hiding as if she was invisible was standing behind the broken wall, still maintaining the posture of raising her right hand, and her expression was frozen when she saw something unbelievable.
The next moment, the tortured mud house collapsed as a whole, and the little night in the field of vision fell down and disappeared. Xiao Tian was suddenly taken aback, and rushed to the scene over the low wall in three or two steps, only to suddenly feel that his worries were unnecessary—the other party's landing posture was more skillful than Pichu's.
The two stood beside the smoke-filled ruins, looking at each other. After a moment of silence, Xiao Tian pointed to the original house that had collapsed into a pile of mud, "This is ...... Your tactics?"
"No, no, no. Xiao Ye waved his hand again and again, for fear that the captain would give the dismissal order because he had a brain, "I just want to dig a small hole in the wall to observe the situation." ”
Once the power of the waveguide is released to investigate the surrounding environment, the location will definitely be detected by Xiao Tian, who also turns on the detection, so Xiao Ye can only rely on vision to observe the opponent. She had wanted to use the power of the waveguide to dig a "cat's eye" in the dirt - the "ripple adjustment" state could not erase the movement of attack moves such as wave missiles, but the small light blade attached to her fingertips could still hide it.
In fact, she had done this many times since the beginning of the drill, and for some reason only this time she had smashed the entire wall, and the initiator himself was full of fire-breathing question marks, and even began to wonder if she had really accidentally performed a miracle.
After listening to Xiao Ye's confession, Xiao Tian showed a little understanding.
"Do you know 'ripple resonance'?"
After a simple sentence was asked, Xiao Ye suddenly became stunned.
It is well known that there are natural frequencies in every system. When it receives vibrations of the same frequency, the amplitude of the system increases—i.e., when resonance occurs, it can lead to structural deformation or even destruction. For example, "the soldiers walked across the bridge in unison and caused the bridge to collapse" is an example that all 10-year-olds know.
The force of the waveguide has similar properties as a special kind of wave. When the ability user adjusts the frequency of his ripples to match the soil, the probe will think that he is a pile of dirt, and if this ripple of the same frequency is injected into the soil, causing a resonance, it is not surprising that its original form will be destroyed.
The mud walls around here had been washed away by Mizuebu's moves, and the wet touch of the earth remained on the tips of Saya's fingertips. Perhaps after withstanding the impact, the mud hut itself has become fragile, so it will be crushed by the "last straw".
After apologizing for their own actions, the drill was finally back on track – they were expected to spend a full morning practicing street fighting.
Saya led the Pokémon to the bunker, still recalling the scene of the wall shattering just now.
According to Xiao Tian, although "ripple resonance" can destroy hard objects relatively easily, it takes too long to adjust the frequency, and it is not as fast as throwing an energy bomb in actual combat.
So......
What if the frequency adjustment didn't take that long?
