No.276 A sea of flames and a dance of sword fighters
The sword light of the spirit blade brought a sharp wind, stirring up the smoke and dust of the entire battlefield.
Charizard was stunned by the sudden attack from behind, and it didn't let out a belated cry of pain until the face and dirt kissed. And the figure of Eloredo, who had finished the perfect blow, disappeared again, and returned gracefully in front of the trainer.
Bai Lan's posture was as unhurried as his Pokémon partner, watching Charizard staggering to its feet, without the slightest intention of taking the opportunity to mend the knife. He raised his chin at Xiao Ye, as if to say, "Let the horses come."
Self-confidence to the extreme, but also arrogant to the extreme.
"Charizard, fly. ”
The wound on his back was still painful, but it didn't affect the movements of the fire-breathing dragon that had surged up with battle intent in the slightest. It flapped its wings hard, and its body soared into the sky, but it felt an invisible resistance halfway through.
"Telekinesis. Bai Lan said softly.
Eluredo held out his hand to Charizard from afar, and the blue energy restrained Charizard, making it unable to move no matter how hard it struggled, and its ascent slowed suddenly.
"Charged Flame Attack. ”
When the fire-breathing dragon, who had been holding back the fire in his stomach and wanted to vomit quickly, heard this instruction, his eyes immediately lit up, and the flames instantly enveloped his whole body, and the red fire dragon smashed towards Eluredo like a meteor along the force of telekinetic oppression.
Gravity combined with the bonus of telekinesis, the energy storage flame attack that was cast was full of twelve points of power, and it was unstoppable, even if thirty trainers were placed here, twenty-nine of them would definitely choose to avoid it without hesitation. It's a pity that Bailan is one-thirtieth of the "not afraid of death".
"Mental blade. ”
His voice was as calm as if he was already in control, but Eluredo's movements were not "calm" at all. Its body was like a fully drawn bow, and the blade on its arm swung forward extremely quickly with the movement of its stride and twist, and the spirit blade met the charged flame attack head-on.
The two sides collided violently, and the seemingly thin spiritual blade showed no signs of shattering. Charizard was able to suffice himself in the blow, and immediately added another fire, finally noticing Eluredo taking a small step back.
Before Charizard could be pleased, the huge impact from its abdomen was so painful that it couldn't help but bend up, and flew away with its strength and force unresistibly. And Eluredo maintained a kicking posture, and the orange brilliance circulated throughout his body unquenchable.
Melee combat.
Staring at the posture of Eloredo kicking out, Kiroba secretly sighed "amazing" in his heart.
Eluredo possesses fighting attributes and is indeed extremely talented in hand-to-hand combat. However, the Eluredo commanded by a young man named Bai Lan was clearly more than just gifted - its fists and kicks were incredibly fast, and it was full of force enough to pierce mountains and rocks, and it launched attacks like a storm, with explosive power to turn the tide of battle. Although its trainer is shorter than Saya and looks like a newcomer, it has demonstrated enough abilities that even fourteen-year-old Kiriha cannot be underestimated.
An orange-yellow light lit up on Eluredo's body, and when he kicked it, Saya realized that she couldn't fight this Pokémon in close combat.
Charizard's melee ability is not weak, and under the teaching of Sayo, he can deal with weak Pokémon with just his fists and feet. However, compared to Eluredo, who was born with fighting attributes and was bred to be incomparably powerful, Charizard's melee combat was still too weak.
- And that doesn't mean Charizard will be easily defeated.
Charizard, which had fallen to the ground, had not yet gotten up, but the flames had already ignited from the tip of its tail all the way to its body. Nighta's instructions arrived just in time, "Fire Oath." ”
As the words fell, countless pillars of fire erupted, and the entire battlefield instantly turned into a sea of fire. The blazing light reflected the young man's white kimono, which made the dazzling and cold golden eyes dyed with a bit of surprise.
Charizard's hit rate is still surprisingly poor, but Night's purpose in instructing it to use the Fire Oath is not a hit at all. Sensing the perceptive, Eluredo did not feel the energy fluctuations coming straight towards him, and stood cautiously in place without moving, but accidentally burned his left foot by a crooked pillar of fire.
The chaotic pillars of fire rose and fell, extinguished and erupted, and Eluredo seemed to instinctively want to get out of the danger zone, only to realize that something was wrong after the flashes of superpower.
Its teleportation is no longer activated.
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. As long as you open a barrier-type move such as Guard, you can block the teleportation of most Pokémon, not to mention the magnificent sea of fire in front of you.
Bai Lan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, as if she was smiling, "Yan Hui." ”
The figure of the blue and white sword fighter burst into the sea of flames like a swift. The light flight attribute energy flowed under his feet, carrying Eluredo lightning like lightning to avoid the erupting pillar of fire, and in just a few seconds, he crossed most of the field, and the blade of his elbow popped out in a buzzing sound, and slashed at the head of the Charizard hiding behind the pillar of fire.
Charizard's figure was sliced in half almost without resistance. Eluredo was stunned for a moment, and before he realized that something was wrong, he had already received a hot punch in the stomach.
The "pillar of fire" next to it let out a roar, pouring all the strength of his body into this punch, and he sent Eluredo far away with courtesy - what was cut off was only the shadow clone of Charizard, and its main body hid in the center of the pillar of fire it had created, taking advantage of the flames to disrupt Eluredo's superpower perception and give it a blow that hurt to the bone.
Bai Lan's dazzling golden eyes were unwavering, as if he hadn't seen the tragic situation of Eluredo, but his voice was invisibly cold, "Spiritual impact." ”
Eluredo's body was still suspended in the air, and the colorful light was already shining. In the next second, the impact force that was enough to tear apart the space exploded around it, and at the same time as the wind suddenly rose, all the undulating pillars of fire were instantly shattered into fine flames.
And at the moment when Bai Lan's order exited, Xiao Ye immediately realized what the other party was going to do, and the instructions followed suit, "Turn around, Flame Fist!"
Charizard didn't hesitate to twist its body, and its fist wrapped around the flames exploded, colliding with the flash of sword light.
Alouredo repeated his old trick, and as the Fire Oath's energy field dissipated, he teleported, nearly imprinting a second scar on Charizard's back. Seeing that the spirit blade was parried by the other party, Eluredo was not stunned at all, and quickly changed his moves like a battle-hardened fighter, and his fist wrapped in bright orange light had already smashed towards Charizard's face.
"Purgatory. ”
Night's voice was still calm and tasteless, but for Charizard, these two words were the most desirable refreshment. It roared loudly, and lunged at Eluredo's fist without dodging, but the opponent's fist was caught off guard by the target's huge face, and it took ten points of strength to pour out six points. Even so, Charizard was dizzy from being beaten, but that didn't stop it from seizing the only moment its opponent's form came to a halt and unleashed flames as hot as the sun.
Crimson flames rose from the soles of Eluredo's feet, tongues of venom wrapped around its body, sending the graceful sword fighter into a terrible scream. This is Charizard's "upgrade move" that it naturally learns as it grows up, and as long as it hits an enemy, it will inevitably burn them and greatly reduce their attack power. Skilled in hand-to-hand combat, Eluredo stepped into the flames of Purgatory, meaning that its blades were no longer sharp.
Xiao Ye gave instructions to pursue without stopping.
"Overheating. ”
Charizard took a deep breath and spat out a blinding golden glow. It didn't back away, knowing that if it gave Elluredo a gap, the other party would flee immediately. The superheated energy exploded in the small space almost indiscriminately, and even the clouds were reflected in a thin red color.
In the raging flames, the sword light flickered.
The sword light was not bright, and the jet-black energy was extremely dirty and vulnerable. It didn't even struggle in the flames, as if it couldn't withstand the massive impact of the overheating, and the black light spun a hundred and eighty degrees in awkwardness, disappearing in the direction it had been.
As a pre-guerrilla, Saya has always been quick to think. But when the black light flashed away, she was stunned for a second before she came to the conclusion of the only possibility of existence in disbelief.
That powerful Eluredo's attack will miss him?
Saya shouted instructions almost as soon as she reacted. However, it was already too late.
"Backwards—"
"Psychic Blade!"
When the young man's cold voice resounded through the audience, the bright sword light was bright. Charizard was shocked to see the snow-like sword advance almost unreasonably, slicing through the overheated blast of flames and landing inexorably on its chest.
The flames dissipated. The red dragon didn't even have a word, and lost consciousness in the overwhelming pain and fell to the ground. The blue-and-white sword fighter was covered in burns and a sharp wound on his left arm, but he still maintained his graceful demeanor, calmly retracting his blade and straightening his back proudly.
“...... Winner, Brandy. Kiripa announced the outcome of the battle in a somewhat hoarse voice.
Xiao Ye retracted the unconscious Charizard, and was a little silent for a while.
Everything is clear. There is no doubt that this Eluredo's trait is a rare heart of justice - however, even if she told Saya this information before the battle began, she would never have imagined that Eluredo would use a secret attack on her, just to let her body withstand the evil attribute attack and release more power, and forcibly split the opponent's strongest attack.
Sayo had never seen such an irresistible attack as ruin-and-storm as it was. And the young man in white on the opposite side looked calm and almost indifferent, as if this was just a natural scene.
Retracting the upright Eluredo into the advanced ball, Brandy walked up to Saya and stretched out her hand to Saya.
"Good play. But that's not enough, you can be stronger. ”
Bai Lan shook down such a sentence stiffly, as if he didn't see the confused expression of Monk Xiaoyazhang.
This is not something that should be said to someone who meets for the first time, and both of them are well aware of it. But Bai Lan didn't seem to have the slightest explanation, and after the handshake, he grasped the wooden knife at his waist.
"I have one more thing to do before I say goodbye. ”
After he said this, the golden eyes that seemed to be dancing with flames suddenly lit up.
Xiao Ye felt that darkness suddenly engulfed her vision, and the ground under her feet and the sky above her turned pitch black with only a faint light source flickering in the distance. Her legs and feet suddenly became heavy and difficult to move, but the waveguide sounded plainly what was happening around her.
The boy's movements were almost identical to those of his Eluredo. He suddenly disappeared and suddenly reappeared, the wide sleeves of his kimono raised high, and the unpretentious wooden knife slashed at Sayo's back.
Saya had no choice. The crystal blue long knife appeared in her hand, and she quickly turned around to block Bai Lan's vicious slash.
The unique color of the wave guide was reflected in the young man's golden eyes, and Xiao Ye really saw that there was a stunned look in those eyes that could not be concealed.
Xiao Ye looked at the person in front of him quietly. She didn't fight back immediately, because she could feel that the boy had no hostility towards her at all, and even though he was using a wooden knife that couldn't hurt anyone, his knife still had room for it, and it was obvious that he was just testing something.
After a moment of silence, Bai Lan withdrew the wooden knife. The darkness in all directions also faded, and the bright open-air training ground returned to view, and Xiao Ye saw Kiritha running over in a panic, and seemed to sense that something was wrong.
"Sorry, rude. The young man's expression had quickly regained his composure. He hung the wooden knife back on his waist and raised his scorching golden eyes to look at Xiao Ye, "I'm in the Quartz Alliance waiting to fight you a second time. I hope you don't lose out before you meet me. ”
Xiao Ye didn't know how to react for a while, and Bai Lan didn't seem to expect any answer from her, so she left on her own. Kiritha watched in wonder as the white haori with the intricate family crest engraved on her back went away, and glanced at Xiao Ye, only to get the same blank look back as himself.
"That's right. ”
As if suddenly remembering something, Bai Lan stopped at the edge of the battlefield and turned to smile at Saya. He had been keeping a serious face before, but now when he suddenly laughed, he had a sense of wantonness.
"I forgot to tell you - what a coincidence, I'm just like you, and my surname is Xingyu. ”
The boy in the white kimono walked away step by step, and Saya froze in place, her inner emotions surging like a tsunami.
====================
On the horizon, pure white palaces appear and disappear in the clouds.
"I've received the footage. The man's warm voice was transmitted down the microphone to the ground thousands of miles away. The image in front of him flickered, paused at the moment when the long crystal blue knife appeared.
"Hmm...... That's right, it's the power of waveguides. He paused, and after listening to the answer from the person on the other end of the phone, he spoke softly, "It's okay, although the power of the waveguide has been beyond my expectations, but the behavior so far has generally been in line with the expected setting. Just let it go, the plan doesn't need to change......"
The man carefully explained the precautions of the rules, and did not notice that the door behind him had opened a gap somehow. The magnified crystal blue of the screen reflected the pupils of the brown-red short-haired boy outside the door, causing the boy to freeze for a moment before slowly revealing a hideous smile.
"Found you~"
