Chapter 43: Pre-War Drills, Unknown Changes

"Fire Dinosaur, [Flame Spray]!"

Leolu, who was standing on the opposite side, raised the corners of his mouth, and reacted unhurriedly to the rapidly approaching flames in front of him.

"Bump!!"

The flames exploded strongly at the location of Leo Road, and the smoke spread quickly before falling slowly.

When registering for the league competition, Kazuki learned from Miss Joy that it was still a long time before the official meeting of the league. And if there was enough time, even if they traveled around the city capital first and then challenged the gym, it might be too late, so Yihui and Leo Lu did not rush to leave, but came to the battlefield again after breakfast to train.

"Fire dinosaur, well done!"

Kazuki touched the fire dinosaur's head, then waited with it for the smoke to clear.

According to Leolu's words, even if the three elves that Ikki has now can attack together very tacitly, there is no chance of winning at all. Because there is no need to fight, Leolu uses the competition with Ikki as a dodge practice.

The progress of the fire dinosaur is obvious to all and Ikki and Leolu, but Ikki is still taken aback by the power of its flames. It felt a little strange, but since the fire dinosaur was able to become stronger, Kazuki was happy for its efforts.

As the smoke cleared, Leo Lu stood out from the blast and watched them, raising a paw and hooking at his door.

"The power is very good, but the accuracy is still a little bad, let's try to hit me a few more times. ”

Leo Lu also hadn't seen the fighting spirit of fire dinosaurs for a long time, so he was very open.

The fire dinosaur's daily training is to improve the power of its skills, but there is no connection to how to ensure that the move hits, and Leolu only realized this after fighting it. If it is not overcome, then it will be difficult for the Gym War to bring out the full strength of the fire dinosaur.

Leo Lu looked at the potholes left on the ground after the smoke had cleared - not very deep, at most a little dented, but the range was indeed quite large, even by eye, the radius of the pothole was more than two meters.

Gritting his teeth, Leolu smiled bitterly.

"If this continues, the fire dinosaur may surpass me one day......

Selia watched the game with Zoroa and the fat ball-like Lulili at her feet. Lulili wasn't interested, and she didn't want to wake up until she had a meal, and Zoroa yawned boredly.

Originally, when Zoroa saw Ikki asking Leolu to help him as an opponent in the battle, he volunteered to rush in front of Ikki, and the short one stood up with its hind legs, and its front paws fell on Ikki's legs, pretending to be cute at Ikki. Kazuki did understand its idea and had the intention of letting it train, but he still prioritized preparing for the gym competition, so he had to carry the resentful Zoroa and hand it over to Selia.

"Suo~[People also want to play with Leolu, woo woo~ stupid master!"

Zoroa glanced at Selia, and the girl lowered her head slightly. She only heard Zoroa's disgruntled cry, but she didn't understand the meaning.

So Zoroa lay down like a deflated balloon, and his ears drooped weakly.

Looking at Leo Lu, who was nimbly dodging on the field, Zoroa was not even in the mood to want to play a prank.

After all, if Leolu knew, he wouldn't be able to jump on him again.

"No, you have to be more precise and focused...... Well, forget it. ”

Looking at the fire dinosaur that finally collapsed to the ground after using the first few jets of flame, Leolu finally stopped asking.

It's not that this is a deliberate harsh demand on fire dinosaurs, but a timely correction of the wrong development. After all, no matter how powerful an attack is, as long as it can't hit, it's meaningless.

However, the fire dinosaur's flame power is indeed not small, and if it can be used properly, it can become Ikki's second killer weapon.

Putting away the tired fire dinosaur, Ikki looked at Leo Lu with a wry smile.

"Sure enough, I still can't defeat Leolu, I thought I would definitely succeed this time!"

Leo Lu smiled back and said unhurriedly, "If it's my current state, you'll have to practice hard to beat me!"

"Hmph, but haven't you been defeated before? don't tell me you forgot!"

Leo Lu was stunned: "You...... Didn't you say that it didn't count?"

But who knew that Yihui came over and picked Leo Lu up from the ground: "Okay, okay, I'm kidding." And at that time...... You're not fighting with all your might, are you?"

“…… Really, you're going to be clever. ”

"Okay, let's take a rest first, how about we leave at noon?" Ikki looked at the clock through the window of the Elf Center, "It's only a little past nine o'clock, we have plenty of time, let's get ready later!"

After handing over the Fire Dinosaur's Poké Ball to Miss Joy, Ikki took Leo Lu back to his room, and before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Celia to take a look around.

Both Zoroa and Selia were dissatisfied with Kazuki's actions, but they also knew that the two of them were going to discuss countermeasures for the battle, so they had to be relieved.

When he returned to the room, the first thing Yihui did was to close all the curtains in the room, and after checking that nothing was missing, he put down Leo Lu, who had been holding him in his arms.

"I said you, even if you want to keep it secret, but you won't be able to do it to this extent, it's daytime, and not many people will find out. ”

The glitter stone glows with a strong golden glow when used, which both of them knew, but Leolu still thought that Ikki was making a bit of a fuss.

"Oh, this can give you an extra layer of insurance," Ikki sat on the bed and looked at Leo Lu standing in front of him, "How about it, can we get started?"

Helplessly glancing at Yihui, Leolu nodded: "Anyway, the decision on this matter is yours, and I can't use it at all, right?"

Ikki closed his eyes, and Leolu sighed, waiting for his own change.

It didn't take long for the glitter stone to start reacting, but this time, the reaction was much faster than before, almost in less than five seconds.

Leolu looked at his body as he turned a bright golden color, and looked at Kazuki, who was sitting on the bed with a puzzled face.

"This ...... What's going on?" Leolu pinched his arm hard, fearing that something was wrong with his consciousness.

"Even if you ask me, I don't know......"

While the results weren't any different, this time the process did catch their attention.

Ikki ran to the window, quietly opened the curtains, and after making sure that no one noticed, he sat back on the bed and said to Leolu, "It's no different anyway, just look for the reason later." ”

Leo Lu nodded slowly, and the stamina he had just trained had recovered almost completely in a matter of seconds, so he jumped onto the bed as well.

"Then do you have any ideas for the next Gym Competition, do you want to consider subduing the new elves first...... Or do you just want to go straight to the challenge?"

"Well...... Yihui held his chin and pondered for a moment, and replied: "Let's keep it like this for now, and I don't know what abilities the elves in the city capital have, and I can only take one step at a time in terms of subduation." ”
