Merlin followed in the footsteps of the orange, still a little confused and still a little overwhelmed. He had the intention to use various excuses to shirk the orange's invitation to fight, but because of the other party's identity, it was inconvenient to open his mouth and refuse at will. Besides, being able to compete with a well-known master trainer, poison master, and ninja master really made Merlin feel a little excited and excited.

Walk through the old courtyards and across the exquisite gardens. Just as Merlin's excitement had diminished due to the apprehension and procrastination of walking, the two of them finally arrived at their destination, a beautiful pond garden.

"This is it." Ju, who was standing in the middle of the small bamboo bridge, casually raised his hand and pointed to the garden where the two of them were, and naturally said, "The battle ground of the two of us is here......

"Here?" Merlin reconfirmed in a friendly manner, "Are you really sure we're going to fight here?" Merlin's incredulous gaze quickly swept around the garden, and he could hardly believe what he had heard.

The two of them were now in the midst of a garden that was most characteristic of the essence of the city, a garden called the Pond Garden, with the quiet, pure, jewel-like pool of water that reflected the sun's luster as a jewel as its center.

In the center of the pool stands an intricately carved stone island, on which a small waterfall flows like a silver chain. Near the shore of the water, there are three gorgeous pavilions with bright red lacquer reflected on the water, adding a touch of color to the lake. The island, pavilion and pavilion are connected by a bamboo bridge, and rows of bamboo wind chimes hang under the handrails of the bridge deck, playing a series of natural sounds in the breeze.

Surrounding the pond is a large expanse of lush green vegetation, surrounded by undulating hills, with several towering hills. Pines and shrubs dot the dots. Strips of gray-white slate mark the way in the tender green.

It's like a work of art. Anyone would say this about this exquisite garden. But such a garden that should be cared for and cared for was designated as a place for battle by all its own owners! That's really ......

Inexplicably, Merlin also felt a burst of regret.

"Of course I'm sure." Ju spoke plainly, but there was a sudden force under his feet, and he jumped to the opposite side of the pool by stepping on the bamboo bridge, eaves, and stone island in a few ups and downs. After standing still, Ju raised his right hand in mid-air, and the empty palm suddenly appeared with an ordinary treasure ball in the pull, "This is our opponent battlefield." ”

Merlin shook his head slightly, took a deep breath of fresh air, and then exhaled a long breath, transferring all his complicated moods and thoughts to the battle mode.

"How about a two-on-two Pokémon battle between me and you with the pink badge of the Light Red Gym as a bet?" The sound of orange could still be heard clearly in Merlin's ears even though it was not a small pool of water.

"Listen to me." Merlin replied respectfully as he stepped back and walked off the bamboo bridge.

"Then you're welcome." Ju's wrist twisted, and the baby ball in his hand shot into the air.

In the air, the Pokémon abruptly separated, shooting out a dazzling white light that released the Pokémon within.

"My first one, it's ......," Tachibana said.

With his words, the Pokémon that were released from the Poké Ball also came out of the Poké Ball's release light at this time. It was a poisonous moth with a wingspan of at least four or five meters, and it was taller than the average adult. Silently flapped its lilac wings, and with each flap of its wings, countless tiny particles with a brilliant sheen mixed into the air. These colorful particles are stacked in the air, adding a touch of colorful light to the colorless air. It's just that the color is thick and faint, and it is erratic.

“…… The last moth. ”

[The last moth with the characteristics of scale powder is a common basic characteristic. Merlin just glanced at the last moth and immediately judged its basic characteristics, [However, this exaggerated amount of powder is indeed a rare sight. With that in mind, Merlin began to look intently at the last moth in the distance.

The poisonous moth flapped its wings and hovered over the water on the west side of the pool, while Merlin stood on the east shore of the pool, at least a hundred meters in a straight line. This distance was a great test of Merlin's eyesight, which was severely myopia, and it was difficult for him to see anything even if his eyes were wide to the limit.

[If I'm not mistaken, there is a relatively obvious flaw in the scale powder characteristics of the moth, that is, the specific effect of the scale powder can be judged from the depth of color......] Merlin struggled to open his eyes again, [But no one has said what the shades of these colors represent. 】

[Dealing with poisonous insects, the most effective thing is fire and ability ......] Merlin, who thought so, reached into his arms and groped for the baby ball, [After all, the other party is a special trainer, although the light red gym only has a cumulative score of four points because of the simple test, but it is better to be safe...... Then the spirit ......]

The finger that should have touched the Poodle was caught in the air, and Merlinden gasped. It occurred to him that he seemed to have left most of his Pokéballs and most of his companions in the small bedroom where he was temporarily staying...... In a hurry, Merlin's right hand simply touched it in his arms, but only touched two Poke Balls.

[It's broken.] Merlin secretly complained to himself, [Frog and Dragu......] With the unique position of the Pork Ball and the carved lines on the ball, Merlin easily figured out how much combat power he had at his disposal.

[It's okay to say that Frog still has some combat experience, and he doesn't suffer too much in terms of attributes. It's just that at the moment, this kind of venue, it ......] Merlin glanced at the vast pool of blue waves in front of him with a worried gaze, [As for Dragu, its attributes are quite superior, but this kid really doesn't have much experience in fighting with me, and he lacks experience in fighting against humans. Moreover, it is more limited by this kind of site......]

......Merlin glanced at the undulating green space by the pool with a sneaky look, unless, I forcibly moved the battlefield to the land! Merlin, who was moved, immediately began to think about the feasibility, [Master Ju doesn't seem to specifically point out that only the water is the battle arena, right? So can I understand that 'the whole garden' is a battle field? 】

Thinking so, Merlin staggered backwards, farther and farther away from the water. After retreating a distance of about a meter or two, Merlin gritted his teeth and reached out of his arms to pull out a high-grade ball carved with a fire-breathing dragon ornament with flapping wings and flew into his arms, and threw it at his feet.

"Dragu, Burn!"

The high-level ball landed on the ground with white light flashing, and Merlin hurriedly retreated some distance back. Continue to quietly complete the big plan to move the arena as quietly as possible.

"Roar~~"

Before the gorgeous release of the high-grade orb had subsided, the little fire dragon Dragu, who had just broken free from the shackles of the orb, immediately burst out with a roar full of energy, and then a crimson condensed flame tore through the white light and went straight into the sky.

"Interesting...... I didn't expect to see Pokémon that are at the 'Transformation Node' now. And it's also a Pokémon that has followed humans......"

Ju's eyesight was obviously much better than that of Merlin, who was directly equivalent to being blind without his glasses, and he not only saw the little fire dragon that was detached from the light, but also looked at it carefully with interest.

Merlin's Draghu was more like a fire dinosaur than a small fire dragon, for its longer, muscular limbs, the two prominent knuckles at the back of its head, the thick tail behind its buttocks and the flames that burned at its ends, or its more protruding mouth and angular face, were all too close to the fire dinosaur.

"Little one, what is it that you have worked so hard to endure and evolve for? Isn't it precisely because you choose to be with humans that it is easier to break through the shackles of form? Why continue to endure the endless pain and suffering? That kind of pain can't be solved by just one immutable stone......" Ju said in a low voice, "and you have chosen to endure two stages of multiplier pain. What are you torturing yourself for? Pokémon are really always full of 'magic'......"

The whisper of the orange was almost to himself, and Merlin, who was far away, naturally couldn't hear it. Of course, the little fire dragon couldn't hear it, and it was busy roaring and spitting fire.

Dragu, the little guy, has been obviously a bit irritable lately, and Merlin deduces that it has probably accumulated too much energy due to the restraint of evolution, so it is a bit "hot". But there was nothing he could do about it, his persuasion Dragu turned a deaf ear, and his admonition Dragu went in and out of the left ear, this little thing has always been a little disobedient and disrespectful attitude towards Merlin. On the contrary, it obeys Lingzi's words, and once it has the opportunity to get along with Lingzi, then it will immediately become Lingzi's little tail, and it is almost inseparable from the charming nine-tails. And Lingzi ...... Forget it, Merlin never expected him to be able to really command the "old man" who didn't know how old he was.

"You're the first to strike." Ju, who was standing on the west side of the pool, said to Merlin, "Let's start fighting!" ”

"Then you're welcome." Merlin responded, "Dragu, tentative attack, Dragon's Fury!" With a shout and a wave of his arm, the order given by Merlin's side finally kicked off his battle with Ju in the Light Red Gym.

"Roar!"

Receiving the command, Dragu clenched the claws at either side of his body, squeezed out a roar with a sense of vicissitudes from the depths of his throat, and then opened his mouth wide and shot a ray of dark blue energy that was thicker than the diameter of its body at the dancing Moth. The rays flew straight towards the Moth with a hissing that tore through the air, carrying a wave of tyrannical and ruinous aura from the beginning.

Although Dragu is usually not very cold and obedient to Merlin, he is still quite good in battles and training, and he does not hesitate, disobey or discount Merlin's instructions.

Dragu's attack was full of momentum, not to mention using the level of the little fire dragon as the standard, even using the level of the fire dinosaur as a judgment can be regarded as a rare powerful blow. Therefore, Merlin, who is a trainer, was a little complacent when he saw Dragu's trick. And Ju, who is an enemy, is also quite appreciative after seeing this trick.

However, praise is appreciated. Ju will not let Merlin go because of this.

Although Tachibana is inevitably a little puzzled, he wonders why Merlin would send this kind of beginner Pokémon, which is probably only between the middle and advanced levels, to fight against him. But it doesn't matter, after all, as a gym master, judging the strength and weakness of trainers does not depend solely on the ability and level of Pokémon. This is especially true of Tachibana, who is known for his lenient tests, and he doesn't care about the level and strength of his opponents.

Even, Ju didn't give instructions to the little fire dragon's attack on the last moth, he just stood quietly with his body upright, twisting his handprints on his chest with both hands, and watched the little fire dragon's dragon rage attack all the way towards the last moth.

The tyrannical dark blue energy that Dragu produced already had a vague dragon shape at the beginning, which was a representation of the dragon's attribute trick after it had been trained to a certain extent, representing a high degree of condensation and a great increase in destructive energy. It is said that the dragon-attribute ultimate move can even transform into a vivid dragon form when it is more advanced Cheng Dù, releasing the stronger destructive power of the far ultimate move itself. Dragu's Taoism is obviously not so advanced yet, and making vague dragons and intermittent dragon bodies is probably already at its current limit.

The dark blue dragon fluttered with its teeth and claws, piercing through the air along the way, stirring up circles of broken ripples in the air. Since Dragu wasn't very tall, and the eastern shore was obviously low, the dark blue rays of energy almost grazed the surface of the water when the ray-shaped Dragon's Wrath it shot out swept across the shore and rushed to the water. The heat released by the tyrannical breath and extremely destructive energy in this ray quickly evaporated a large amount of water vapor from the water surface while passing over the water surface, and because the initial degree of the trick was extremely fast, and the amount of water vapor generated by transpiration, this ray even left a shallow gully on the water surface in the process of flying. It wasn't until the dragon had flown a few meters away that the ravine was refilled.

As the dragon's wrath swept over the initial surface of the water, the tooth-wrenching dragon visibly made a high-spirited gesture, and then the whole ray began to rise with its wrath, heading straight for the last moth in the air.

The orange is still a light and breezy appearance, watching quietly.

Dragu was a hideous picture, the green tendons on his forehead were raised high, and the muscles in his body bulged out, as if he had done everything he could. In order to make the special move still have enough lethality after flying more than 100 meters, this little guy is constantly supplying the power of the special move, which is more difficult than simply releasing a special move or releasing a series of special moves in a row.

Merlin clenched his fists fiercely, and felt uneasy in his heart. The straight-line distance of the battlefield of more than 100 meters is obviously not something that Dragu can easily deal with, and the decay of the energy of the special move caused by the long distance in space alone is enough to drag Dragu to death. After all, it was using the body of a small fire dragon to perform a special move, and this weakest and most fragile body, no matter how strong it was, would not be able to maintain a high-intensity special output for a long time, not to mention that the strength of the special move released by Dragu had long exceeded the limit of energy that the little fire dragon form could provide.

The first trick was so hard to maintain. Merlin no longer dared to imagine what would happen next. The only way to do this is to find a way to move the field and shorten the distance, so that he can have a chance of winning. Otherwise, neither Dragu nor Frog have absolutely no hope of winning.

"Moth, Sonic Wave!"

When the little fire dragon's dragon rage swooped down to less than a few meters away from the last moth with a tyrannical aura that only a dragon could release, Tachibana, who had been very quiet, finally spoke, and the handprint he was holding in his hand suddenly changed, and he gave his first battle order in this battle.

The huge poisonous moth flapped its wings violently, and a large patch of brilliant powder was thrown into the air. Then its mouthparts opened and closed, and from them there were immediately bursts of tremors visible to the naked eye. The continuous sound waves, which could not be distinguished by the human ear, were slow at first, slowly and swaying, creating layers of ripples in the air around the moth, seemingly powerless. However, when the outermost part of this seemingly weak sound wave came into contact with the dragon of the little fire dragon's seemingly amazing dragon rage, it was a superior judgment. The seemingly ferocious dragon shattered at the touch of a gorgeous soap bubble, and the seemingly weak sound wave tore through the entire ray as lightly as tearing a piece of paper, completely annihilating it.

Merlin licked his lips quickly. This did not come as a surprise to him. He yelled at Dragu, who was a little annoyed by the ineffectiveness of his trick, "Run! Don't be stunned! With that, he immediately ran wildly towards the mountain area on the side of the courtyard.

Annoyed, Dragu was obviously at a loss when he heard Merlin's instructions, but when he saw that Merlin had slipped away, he simply followed, but before he slipped away, it shouted a few times unwillingly.

"Huh." Standing motionless, Ju watched Merlin take the little fire dragon and run into the mountains farther away, he didn't stop it, but let out a chuckle, and then whispered, "Young man, your intention to change the battlefield and shorten the distance is too obvious. It seems that you don't know, for the super class, the distance of space is indifferent even if it is calculated in kilometers......"

Having said that, Ju still moved, and his figure shook for a while, and then suddenly disappeared from the spot, and then instantly appeared at the top of one of the highest peaks in the mountain area, the earthen mountain about a dozen meters above sea level, and looked down at Merlin and the little fire dragon who had just run into a basin. And behind the orange, the last moth was already flapping its wings and waiting quietly.

"Young man." Ju spoke again, "According to the information I know, your combat power shouldn't be only this kind of Cheng dù, right?" He glanced at the little fire dragon meaningfully, but the little guy immediately saw that the orange had something else to mean, and suddenly let out an angry roar at the orange. Not to be outdone, the moth flew straight in front of the orange, staring at a pair of sparkling eyes, and its mouthparts kept opening and closing with a noisy cry, the threat in which was too obvious.

"No way." Merlin simply admitted, "My companions were basically left in the room by me, and they only happened to have two of them with me......"

Ju raised an eyebrow and shook his head with a smile, "Interesting." He pulled another handprint, "Then it looks like I need to adjust my strategy against you......"

The handprints on Ju's hand changed repeatedly, and Merlin was stunned for a while. Merlin: It is hard for him to imagine that human fingers and palms can be as orange-like as Cheng dù. It's like there's no bones, no joints.

"My test of the challenger is simple even for an elite-level pavilion owner, you must have heard of this, right?" Tachibana asked.

Merlin nodded.

"The gyms where the special trainers sit are generally worth five points, but my light red is only worth four points. It's because of my forgiveness and indulgence," Tachibana looked at Merlin, "Unlike the other owners, I will especially test the challenger's eye in the battle with me, and test how quickly they can find the 'flaw' I deliberately sold...... As long as it can be found, then the fight is fairly easy......"

[Flaws? Merlin was stunned, [The flaw of this last moth? In addition to a large amount of powder...... That's right, it's a lot of powder! Although scale powder can bring all kinds of abnormalities and special conditions, it is also an excellent flammable product! Just a little bit of Mars ......]

"Originally, I was going to test your abilities, but now it seems that I have chosen the wrong time......" Tachibana's changing handprints were finally maintained, "Moth, dance, Colorful Dance Steps!" ”

With the command of the orange, the huge poisonous moth immediately flapped its wings and flew to the top of the little fire dragon's head, and then stretched its wings and began to dance, with the flapping of the wings, a puff of colorful powder slowly drifted down, light blue sleep powder, orange-yellow paralyzing powder, dark purple highly toxic powder...... Colorful and shiny powder filled the sky in an instant, and it was brilliant and beautiful.

"Flame squirting! Revolve! ”

Merlin and Draghu were not deceived by this piece of beauty that contained extreme danger, and the two guys, one gave orders, and the other immediately carried them out, and both of them were full of energy to destroy this extremely terrifying beauty.

Dragu opened his mouth and spewed a swirling, coiled chain of condensed fire from his mouth, straight into the brilliant powder. To put it bluntly, this "spin" trick application technique is to let Pokémon forcibly urge the trick to rotate, so as to achieve a certain effect of enhancing the force, in addition to barely achieving some effects similar to vortex. This technique is a relatively common trick application.

The chain of flames that swirled soared into the sky, and the blazing heat ignited the powder it touched, turning the brilliant powder into sparks blooming in the air. Most of the powder-based tricks belong to the attributes of grass and insects, and the special scale powder volatilized by the characteristics of scale powder is generally considered to belong to the category of insect attributes, so these powders are absolutely flammable, and sometimes they don't even need an open flame, only high temperature is needed to ignite them!

Therefore, as soon as Dragu's jet flame rushed into the sea of powder swayed by the Moth, it immediately caused a heavy effect, and countless powders immediately turned into an excellent accelerant, allowing the flames to bloom in the air.

"Merlin-kun, I don't know if you've heard of a word called 'dust explosion'......" Ju's voice floated over very flatly.

Merlin was stunned. [Dust explosion? What's that?! 】

"But whether you've heard it or not, I'll ask you to get ready...... "Otherwise, you'll be ...... if you hurt your own hands."

Merlin couldn't hear what he said next.

Because at the same time as Ju spoke, a mutation arose in the sea of powder ignited by Dragu. The powder ignited by the fire chain in the center turned into an accelerant and released a huge amount of heat and flame radiation into the surrounding powder, and this heat quickly ignited the powder in a larger area around it! The burning is getting faster and faster, and the area that has been burned is also expanding rapidly. The air was filled with an extremely restless fiery energy, accumulating calamities far more dangerous than the flames.

Subconsciously, Merlin immediately teleported to Dragu, who was still spewing flames, first using his telekinesis to cut off the continued output of the flames, and then frantically covering himself and Dragu with layers of protective shields. Dragu was a little confused, but Merlin felt his scalp tingle and tingle, as if some great danger was hanging over his head.

And so it is.

At the same time that Merlin hurriedly propped up the protective shield, the flames that had accumulated mortal power above Merlin and Dragu's heads finally revealed its terrifying true face, and a huge explosion was continuously stirred up from the sea of fire in the sky, and the energy was almost incalculable heat and shock waves to vent wantonly in all directions. Everything that is consumed by the flame is turned into the energy that enhances the flame, and everything that can be burned becomes an accelerant...... Standing in the middle of this courtyard, it became extremely difficult to even breathe.

That is, when the explosion has completed the first catharsis and is accumulating strength to prepare for the second bigger explosion, the last moth of the orange has acted. For some reason, the last moth, which was not affected by the explosion at all, released wisps of almost colorless power fluctuations up and down its body, and its bright eyes rippled with bursts of deep brilliance from time to time. The surrounding flames seemed to be afraid of it, and they were swept together and gathered into a heap. Then, with a few flaps of its wings, it blew away the tiny flames......

Ju, who was also unaffected, glanced at the mountains at his feet, and suddenly a large desert and an even larger piece of scorched earth suddenly appeared in the whole new green, even terrifying. And in the middle of the scorched earth was a fragmented protective shield, and under the translucent purple power shield was Merlin lying on the ground with his back rushing out, and in Merlin's arms was Dragu who was clung to him, and under a man and a small fire dragon was a small piece of lawn that was still green.

Tachibana glanced at Merlin, who was basically uninjured, and smiled.

Merlin, on the other hand, immediately removed the mutilated shield after sensing that there was no danger from the outside world, and stood up from the grass with a somewhat frightened Dragu, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he saw the scorched earth and desert around him.

"This ......," Merlin couldn't even speak for a moment.

"Dust explosion." Ju said, "The biggest flaw I left behind is actually my biggest killer move." Everyone knows that Pokémon's powder trick and insect scale powder are very flammable, and anyone can think of using fire to deal with these powders. But who knows? When the amount of powder suspended and floating in a certain space reaches a certain value, these fragile powders will become terrifying and deadly. There is no need to even ignite an open flame, just a vibration, a little friction, and a little static electricity to turn into a natural disaster that swallows a qiē......"

"Goo-dong" Merlin swallowed again.

"Such an inconspicuous little thing can cause such great damage." Ju spread out his right hand, and a few powder particles seemed to fall from the palm of his right hand, "The boundary between weak and strong is sometimes so blurred......

"So, do you need to take a breather and rest, or do you want us to continue the unfinished battle?" Tachibana asked with a smile.

"Keep fighting?" Merlin glanced at the ruins around him, then at Dragu, who had broken free from his arms and landed on the ground, and asked him, "What do you say?" ”

The little guy clenched his claws and let out a roar of rage, which was kind of an answer to Merlin's question.

"Ambitious...... "Ju pinched his handprint again, "But do you really have the strength to match your ambition?" ”

"Dragon's Fury!" Merlin also answered Tachibana's question in his own voice.

Dragu roared in anger and shot a dark blue ray in the shape of a dragon again, swooping straight at the Moth.

[Flaws? Rip! While paying attention to the changes in the situation on the battlefield, Merlin secretly pondered, "What is the flaw in the orange? If ......] a flash of light suddenly bloomed in Merlin's mind, "Wait! Tachibana is a ninja, a ninja master who is best at disguise! If he has a weakness, then it must be deliberately exposed, and his weakness will be his strongest point! So what about pushing back, is it possible that the strongest point he deliberately revealed is his real weakness?! 】

Merlin's mind was in a hurry, [The powder that seems to be weak is the strongest killing move, so what is its seemingly strongest thing? Could it be its ability? The ability to eliminate the explosion just now is really not weak......]

Merlin is thinking about what to do, but Dragu has already started a disastrous battle with the Moth.

Dragul's Dragon's Fury and Jet Flames shot out in turn, countering the powder and sonic tricks that the Moth occasionally spilled. After being reminded by Ju, Merlin also learned that the trick to preventing the terrifying dust explosion just now was to prevent the powder in the air from reaching a certain concentration, so even at the risk of causing a small dust explosion, Merlin would force Dragu to release flames to burn the powder.

Between the two sides, small dust explosions have been stirred up many times, among which Dragu has led a few, and more of them have been led by the Moth himself. The sound waves it emits can also cause explosions. Dragu relied on Merlin's shield for protection with each explosion, and the Moth didn't even bother to annihilate the explosions with its powers, just letting them roar and vent around it, and it just gracefully dodged them.

Merlin, on the other hand, has been looking for the strongest of the orange's last moth.

[Fools! Lingzi's delicate and charming voice suddenly broke into Merlin's mind, [The strongest place of that moth is its weakest place, and its weakest place is its strongest place! 】

Merlin turned his head without a trace, and the corner of his eye swept over the edge of the pool, just in time to see Lingzi curled up comfortably on the stone table of the pavilion. After seeing Merlin's gaze, the charming guy even threw a wink at Merlin.

[I haven't heard from you for so long, those idiots beat me out to find you, who knew you were wasting your time here. Lingzi spoke in a lazy tone, [Hurry up and end the battle and go back to report safety, don't let everyone be anxious. After saying that, it directly cut off the telepathy with Merlin.

[The strongest is the weakest, and the weakest is the strongest? Merlin was a little confused, [powder, explosion......] Merlin suddenly grabbed something, [explosion!? 】

Merlin's eyes lit up, and a bold plan suddenly came to mind.

"Dragu, spew flames! Revolve! Merlin's command shouted loudly, and at the same time, the telepathy conveyed the true combat intent to Dragu.

A person with a bad plan and a small fire dragon showed a wicked smile at the same time.
