Chapter 111: Bitter Battle
If a trainer is a person who can harness the elves, then the trainer is the one who has stimulated the potential of the elves and has a unique insight into them. The former can be found everywhere, and the latter is rare.
"This level of [quicksand hell]...... Just a three-gopher? Sora thought that he had enough knowledge of Sakaki's strength, and he didn't want to underestimate it in the end. The other party didn't even send any decent elves, and it seemed to drive him into a corner with a three-gopher that could be found everywhere.
"Why, look down on the three gophers?" Sakaki is becoming more and more interested in the teenager in front of him, novel tactics, first-class reactions, and composure, if this kind of person can join his command, why not grow Team Rocket?
With a love for talent, he explained a few words rarely, "This kind of spirit is very popular, and it can be used to loosen the soil, plough the land, and build ditches. For it, manipulating dirt is as simple as eating and drinking, but most people don't understand its abilities. ”
"Abilities?" Sora, who was thinking hard about countermeasures, felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he had a way. No, maybe it shouldn't be called a solution, because it's just a small detail that he's been overlooking.
"Lala, hold on a little longer! The other party's sand prison won't last long! ”
"Chirp~" No matter what time it is, the trainer's words can always give the elves encouragement. Lala, who was still a little dizzy just now, quickly calmed down. In fact, [Quicksand Hell] as a ground-based move couldn't have much impact on her, but the huge momentum made her feel flustered. What's more, the effects of [rooting] and [photosynthesis] are always there, and there is no need to worry about foothold and physical strength. As long as they don't mess up and are killed by the other party, they are invincible.
"Oops, it seems to have calmed down, this is not easy." Sakaki shook his head in annoyance, but he didn't mean to worry much. In his opinion, although the opponent is a little immature, he is indeed a rare opponent, and if he ends the game all at once, it will be boring. But......
"The resilience of the grass system is really too strong. Then ...... Sandstorm! This collision of powers, the game of wisdom, was once something he was fascinated by, but at some point, he slowly lost it on the road of pursuing money and power. The long-lost blood, the feeling is ...... Seems pretty good too?
As a result, the three gophers, who had been hiding in the dirt and waiting for an opportunity, poked their heads out and kicked up large sand and dust from the pit under them. If you look closely, you will find that there are always two black shadows that appear and disappear when it blows sand, and those are its claws. (Three gophers can learn to [Cleave] and [Metal Claws])
The dust in the sky will not only block out the sunlight and weaken the effect of [photosynthesis], but also obstruct the trainer's vision. On the other hand, the culprit who caused the current bad situation has long been hidden in the wind and sand again, needless to say, it must be the characteristics of [Sand Concealment].
"Damn!" Sora said indignantly. Sakaki is worthy of being an expert in the ground system, and he firmly grasped the word "location", almost pressing him to the point where he couldn't lift his head. But the opponent's offensive is much more than that, and on the battlefield, the enemy will not give you a chance to breathe.
"It's not over yet, seize the moment of distraction of the opponent, [Surprise Attack]!"
"Poof!"
With Sakaki's order, a large hole appeared out of thin air in the ground behind Lara, and the three gophers' honest and funny faces were full of fierceness, and it broke through the ground like a rocket filled with high-grade borosilane (fuel) and flew straight to Lala's vest.
"Brush-" Nothing happened, and the three gophers moving at high speed directly penetrated Lala's phantom and dived underground again. [Surprise Attack] is a first move, but if the opponent is prepared (no attack), it will be ineffective.
"Tsk, is it a [stand-in], the reaction is really fast." [Sandstorm]'s obstruction to the line of sight is mutual, but Sakaki still made the most correct judgment with his strong experience, "Although you have avoided going out directly, how long can you last with your current physical strength?" Triple Gophers, use [Triple Attack]! ”
That's the end of it, it's still too young. Sakaki thought proudly, and then he heard the other party shouting loudly: "Lala, use [Ultimate Suck]!" ”
Dying? But [Triple Attack] is faster than you!
"Keep attacking! Solve her in one go! ”
"You're wrong! You're the one who gets it! ”
The eyes of the two seem to be able to penetrate the clouds and fog, cross space, and meet through many obstacles. This kind of induction in the dark is very wonderful, but Sora knows that the other party must be staring at him without giving an inch now.
So, what exactly is the winner......
"Bang." With a soft thud, the loser fell to the ground. At the same time, the tumbling soil and the wind-swept sand quickly subsided, and they could not sustain themselves for long without the strength of their owners.
The change of circumstances has given the answer, and there is no doubt that the winner is Lala!
"Tss
"It doesn't make sense, even if the [Ultimate Absorption] hits, it's impossible to convert the absorbed energy into physical strength right away. In the end, ......" has been fighting so far, and Sakaki has had an unexpected mood for the first time. However, as a seasoned trainer, he knows that victory and defeat are common in soldiers, and the key is to find the reason for his defeat.
"This ...... Poisoned? But when is it? Sakaki only took one look at it and spotted the problem, but he couldn't remember when his gopher had physical contact with the other. The spread of [poison powder] needs a way, and the wind and sand will cut off this way, which he has long considered. "Is it ......?"
The roots of the stinky flowers!
"Whew~" The empty man on the other side of the venue let out a long sigh of relief. It was really dangerous just now, but fortunately, the three gophers are [arrogant] and have a soft spot for astringency and bitterness. In order to hunt, stinky flowers will emit a charming fragrance all over their bodies, and her roots are no exception, and these fragrances are often accompanied by [highly poisonous]. But unlike the sweet honey on the top of its head, the taste of the rhizome is bitter and astringent, and only a few elves like it.
"Tsk!" On the field, Lala struggles to clean her body with her two small hands, and female elves generally love to be clean. However, her hands were very short, and even if they were straight, there were many places that could not be reached, and she was very distressed for a while.
Although I really want to run to my elf immediately, encourage her, and help her bounce off the dust on her body, but Sora knows that this will not work. Then, he turned his gaze to Sakaki on the other side of the battlefield, only to find that instead of being annoyed, there was a bit of approval in the other party's eyes.
"I'm getting more and more fond of you, Sora. Interested in coming to me? Sakaki put away the three gophers and said softly. It's just that he's lost an elf, and he hasn't shown his real skills yet!
"Uh, let's beat me first!" For the olive branch thrown by the enemy, it is empty and unsightly.
"Haha!" Sakaki smiled, smiling happily. Yourself this is ...... Underestimated?
"Whoa!"
He jerked off his trench coat and threw it on the ground. While moving the joints, he said, "Then I'll show some real skills." ”
As he spoke, he removed a Poké Ball from his waist again. But this time, the ball was not thrown directly, but the switch was turned on in the hand.
"Come on, Needle Bee!"
As soon as the needle bee came on the field, it turned into a yellow lightning bolt and flew towards Lala. The rapidly vibrating wings provide it with exceptional acceleration, allowing it to reach its top speed in the shortest possible time. This is [high-speed movement]!
"And sure enough, it appeared." Empty muttered to himself. The other party will send a big needle bee to the field, which is more or less what he expected. However, the size of this giant needle bee ...... It's obviously out of specification!
After using [High Speed Movement], the figure of the large needle bee is already difficult to catch with the naked eye. But the moment the opponent hit the ball, Sora still saw it clearly, it was a giant insect with a body length of 1m and a wingspan of nearly 2m.
Queen bee!
Naturally, such a thought flashed through Sora's mind.
"Don't let it get close! With [Paralysis Powder]! He immediately commanded. With Lala's current physical strength, as long as he is touched, he should lie down.
"Tsk!" Lara trembled as she carried out her master's orders, spitting out a large amount of powder from the buds and scattering it around herself.
From the moment that disturbing "buzz" appeared on the field, she was in a very wrong state. The blood-red compound eyes, the sharp double needles, and the speed with which people didn't have time to react all reminded her of the fear she had once been cornered by this vicious elf.
"It's useless! Do you think the wings of the giant needle bee are ornaments? Sakaki's reaction was also very fast, he knew very well what would happen if he allowed [Paralysis Powder] to spread throughout the audience, "Use [Tailwind]!" ”
In fact, when Lara used her skills, the big needle bee had already avoided it. At its current speed, ordinary moves are absolutely unsuccessful. After receiving the master's order, it quickly flew into the air, spread its wings, and blew a strong wind.
"Whew-" The wind howled sharply, and in an instant, it swept away the [paralyzing powder] on the field.
Seeing that the obstacle has been swept away, the big needle bee no longer hesitates. With the wind still unsettled, it swooped down, pushing its speed to the limit, vowing to pierce Lala.
【Double needle】!
"Use [Dissolving Solution]!" Sora shouted loudly.
"Tsk!" This time, however, Lara didn't follow her master's instructions again, and the rapid swooping of the needle bee was a nightmare for her. Frightened, she squatted on the spot to dodge the fatal blow, and ran away while the opponent was circling.
"I'm so scared!" Lord fornication helps!
"Hey, hey! You guy! Sora watched helplessly as his elves desperately moved their two little short legs, rolling and crawling towards him.
Elves who have lost their will to fight are useless. Therefore, he was no longer reluctant, so he had to take out the Poké Ball and say, "Forget it, come back first." ”
"Beep!" "[Chase]!"
Just as Lala was about to turn into a red light and return to the ball, the needle swarmed. It appeared almost teleported behind Lara, wielding long needles in both hands and stabbing into her body mercilessly.
"What!" Sora was startled by the enemy's surprise attack, and he hurried to check his Poké Ball, only to find that Lara was in a coma and unable to fight anymore.
At this time, Sakaki's faint voice came:
"A little advice to you, on the battlefield, you can't take it lightly at any time."
