19. The price of growth
The rest of the battle began to be simplified, and Yu Xian intentionally or unintentionally slowed down the pace of the battle. Zhimao, who entered the tug-of-war, no longer had the ability to fight against Yu Xian, even if Xiao Mao joined in the throwing of the rice ball in the end, the two of them were still defeated because of the double overdraft of physical strength and spirit.
"Are you still fighting?"
It was obviously a faint smile, but this smile appeared on Yu Xian's face, but there was a feeling of cheapness.
"Of course..."
"Forget it! Ash! That's enough! ”
"Why! I'm still strong, I'm okay..."
"I've said enough!"
Xiao Mao yelled to stop Ash's follow-up words, and then smiled and put it on Ash's shoulder.
"We... Lost. ”
"Shigeru..."
Ash lowered his head a little unwillingly, his body trembled slightly, his voice choked, and the black gloves that were originally on his hands were now crumpled together and held tightly in his hands.
Xiao Mao on the side was not much better, the blood in his heart gradually receded, only a cold sense of defeat hit mercilessly, and the genius became more vulnerable than ordinary people. Xiao Mao couldn't control the tears in his eyes anymore, and although he was still smiling on his face, the tears fell disobediently.
Even though it wasn't a strictly elf battle from the beginning, when the final defeat came, it inevitably left an imprint on the hearts of the two teenagers. On this day, three months before their ten-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, they lost the first elf battle of their lives, losing to a carp king.
Willingly? Of course not reconciled.
But Ash's excessively trembling hands, Xiao Mao's faintly stinging head, all gave them a clear verdict. Pokemon battles are never won or lost by pokemon alone, and the physical strength and spirit of the trainer will also be most intuitively conveyed to the elves in battle.
If the trainer doesn't give up, the pokemon won't give up, and vice versa.
It's not so much that they lost to Yu Xian, but that they just lost to themselves. Many times, the evenly matched elves are not able to resolve the fight quickly, and if so, it will inevitably lead to a tug-of-war.
In that case, the elf's body and mind will be under several times more stress than usual. At this time, the state of the trainer will become the strongest backing of the elf, and there are many models of the trainer in the game, but that's just a model, even if the image is changed, it won't have any effect.
But in the real elf world, it's far from that simple. It's not just a human who catches an elf, that is, it can be considered a trainer.
Anyone who can be called a trainer must have his own unique strengths.
Take the simplest insect catching boys and girls as an example, because they are very young and fragile themselves, they are far from maintaining the physical strength and spirit of fighting, and the elves they have are all weak insect systems in the early stage. If it is in the game, then they can undoubtedly only be the existence of experience babies.
But what about reality? It's not that simple at all.
Weak teenagers and girls, weak insect elves, are often more likely to resonate. Because of the lack of involvement in the world, many times the mood of teenagers and girls to protect the elves will overwhelm the desire for victory. Because of this, their password evasion will be more effective than others. The elf responded to the trainer's wishes, and even the simplest of green caterpillars could be easily avoided by the lightning of the Bibi bird.
Another example is a common tourist, a mountain man who is good at rock-based elves. Because of having a strong physique, not only can you sustain a long battle, but even in private training, because you often fight against the elf, it is often easier to appreciate the damage of the elf's moves, so you have a strong accuracy and cost performance when using moves in battle.
It is also the final blow to defeat the opponent, whether it is a rockslide or a rockfall, it makes no difference in the game. But in reality, the mental loss of elves is completely different. Perhaps it is that small gap that is the key to deciding whether the tide of the battle can be reversed.
This is the battle, the battle between the trainer and the elf.
Without the elves, the battle would not exist.
Without trainers, the battle cannot be sustained.
Yu Xian had the heart to say something, but he couldn't say it when the words came to his lips.
Now it is no longer human, and even in the battle it has the same blood in its heart, but it has priority orders that the two of them can never have. Because it is a trainer and a genie at the same time. In a real sense, the bond between the elf and the trainer is one.
A person like Zhimao who has the qualifications to receive the initial elf is both lucky and unlucky. Luckily, those Beginner Elves possess stronger spirits than the average Wild Elf, and with proper training, they can more easily communicate with the Trainer's mind. In other words, they are already ahead of the starting line.
Unfortunately, compared to the green caterpillar against the insect catcher, the small fist stone is the drag on the mountain man, and the trainer with the qualification is more likely to become the drag of the elf. Elves may be excellent, but trainers can be vulnerable.
Just like Zhimao in front of him, if it weren't for a battle with Yu Xian. How long it will take them to understand this, no one knows. Maybe in an important game, they will fall down one step ahead of the elves because of their physical and mental exhaustion.
Imagine a scene where the referee pronounces that the trainer has lost his ability to command, so the winner is the gym owner. That kind of shame is not only for the trainer, but also for the elf, and it will surely become a dislike in the hearts of the two for a lifetime.
The elves obtained through the exchange do not listen to the trainer, not only because of the low intimacy, but also because the trainer's strength is not enough. In the game, the number of badges can determine the level cap of the elf's obedience.
In reality, it is true, the badge is indeed a representative of the strength of the trainer, and it also has the effect of limiting the level of elf obedience, but this is only because of the target of the gym owner.
Take Xiao Gang in Nibi City as an example, the challenger without the badge is not the same as the challenger with the badge. The number of badges you have is different. The combination of small fist stone and big rock snake to rumbling rock and big steel snake is completely different.
This is also why the number of badges represents the strength of the trainer, as the later you go, the more difficult it is to get badges. After obtaining eight badges, the Gym Master will even use his maximum combat power.
Yu Xian never really attacked the two of them from beginning to end, but just made the two of them tired themselves. Compared to knocking them down, Yu Xian's approach was obviously more cruel. But Yu Xian still did that, Xiao Mao once said that it was harmless to be too idle, in fact, the promise itself had turned the difficulty from easy to difficult.
Is it hard to get the approval of the forsaken elves?
Difficult.
Is it difficult to raise your own strength to the level of mastering the forsaken elves?
Difficult.
Compared with the passionate passion when the battle was launched, the end of the battle seemed very lonely and depressed. Zhimao and the others didn't even say a few words to Yu Xian, and left in frustration.
Yu Xian glanced at the direction in which the two left, and his heart was full of feelings.
The price of growth is painful, just like breaking out of the cocoon into a butterfly, tearing the body apart to give birth to wings, and then using all your strength to break through the cocoon, and finally it is a scenery in the sky.
Hopefully, after tonight, they'll all grow up. After all, there is no way to do such a path without speeding up their growth.
Zhiye, Maoye, I hope you don't let me down.
Yu Xian greeted the breeze, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that the burden on his body was unprecedentedly heavy.
It's time to go back.
