"Hee-hee-hee-"

The heterochromatic Gengar looked up at Ma Tula who jumped into the air, and let out a few smugly screams.

As a shadow Pokémon, one of its special abilities is the ability to dive into the shadows at will, and if it is a shadow of it, it can quickly shuttle through it.

Mahula's reaction and speed were indeed very fast, and the sneak attack was not successful.

But according to what the trainer said before, what is the difference between a Pokémon that does not have the ability to fly and a live target?

"Strange light!"

When Kashiwagi gave the order, Geng Ghost's eyes lit up with a distorted and chaotic light, and others would be dizzy and dizzy at just one glance.

Manchong was so anxious that he shouted, "Close your eyes!" Snowstorm! ”

"Ahh

In mid-air, Mahula quickly closed her eyes, and a violent wind and snow poured out of its mouth.

When two chaotic bolts of lightning flew from the Gengh's side, a large amount of wind and snow actually built up a thrust, causing it to narrowly avoid the strange light of the light form and fall into the distance.

Geng Ghost, who was dodging the blizzard, was stunned in mid-air.

What's the situation?

So you can move through the air too?!

The trainer's voice quickly interrupted its stunned gaze, "Hide in the shadows!" Don't give it a chance! ”

"Huh!"

Geng Ghost hurriedly blended into the shade of the trees.

Martula landed beside Kashiwagi, glanced at him, and quickly ran towards the shade of the tree.

This guy weighs light enough and the wind from the blizzard is strong enough to complete a quick air maneuver like the one just now.

It is also known as the force of the brick fly.

What really surprised him was the efficiency of Maula's command to fully charge.

If it hadn't been long since she was subdued, Mahula wouldn't have been able to spit out a blizzard so quickly, and the tacit understanding between Pokémon and the trainer was often reflected in the latter's mouth, and the former would have understood what moves to use.

No matter how powerful the command is, it will be synchronized with the move.

In terms of the performance of these waves of fighting, the tacit understanding between Ma Rana and Man Chong is actually higher than that of him and Geng Ghost, and it is full of the flavor of a hundred battles.

He has an arrogant personality and looks down on his opponents, but he can obediently follow the instructions of his trainer.

Funny Pokémon.

Why wasn't it sent out at the Silver Conference?

Kashiwagi was quite curious about this, and his eyes touched Ma Ranla, who ran to the shade of the trees, and said in his heart: "Let's ask after the end, if there are no other hole cards, it is time to move." ”

Meanwhile.

Full charge quickly gives the command, "Blizzard!" ”

Matula's cheeks puffed out in the air, and she blew a large number of snowflakes forward, trying to cover all the shadows that were obscured by the trees.

"Shadow punches the nose."

Kashiwagi raised his right hand.

A pair of sly eyes emerged in the shade of the trees, shooting two dark shadows into the sky despite the incoming blizzard.

The slender shadow made a big turn in mid-air, falling in an arc, and slammed into Matula's nose like an eye!

Boom!

"Ahh

Ma Rana let out a scream, covering her nose with her paws and tears in her eyes, and suddenly she couldn't blow the blizzard.

In the shadows, Geng Ghost, whose body was attached to the frost, rushed out, and actually took the initiative to approach Ma Tula, who was covering his nose, with a strange smile on his face full of malicious intentions.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-"

Manchong's eyes widened, "Mahula hold on!" Attack the key points with a secret attack! ”

Hearing this, Mahura endured the soreness and pain at the tip of her nose, and as she looked forward, she was about to swing her right claw attached to the blood-red light, but the ghost had already rushed in front of it and slammed her head on its forehead.

Syllable!

A crisp sound.

"Hypnosis."

Before it could feel the pain, the Geng's eyes that were close at hand suddenly turned into a brilliant kaleidoscope, stripping away its consciousness in an instant.

Marula rolled her eyes, and without saying a word, she fell asleep.

"Huh!"

Geng Ghost laughed, and actually opened his big mouth to swallow Ma Tula in one gulp and flew into the air at great speed, not giving full charge a chance to recover Ma Tula.

Kashiwagi continued to give the next command, "Nightmare." ”

High in the sky.

Geng's eyes lit up with a pink light, and his body suddenly became translucent, revealing a painful expression on his inside.

It was as if it had fallen into some kind of involuntary nightmare, and black gas was constantly flying from its body, tormenting its spirit.

"Mahula! Wake up! ”

Manchong clenched the ball and kept shouting, looking at Ma Rana with great concern, but there was nothing he could do.

Finally.

Geng Ghost flew down from the air, opened his mouth and spit out the incapacitated Ma Tula in his body, covering his round belly and letting out a satisfied laugh.

"Hee-hee-hee-hic!!"

It even hiccuped.

Bang bang bang.

Kashiwagi applauded it.

"In order to lure the opponent to attack for victory, your own side takes the initiative to take the move and counterattack" - it is his most commonly used tactic, from Bosco Dola to Geng Ghost, he has mastered this very well.

The reason is that he never takes it without brains.

For Geng, Ma Tula's secret attack and the blizzard are two completely different moves, the latter can fight and has a high probability of winning, and the former dares to fight with a high probability of hitting the street on the spot.

Naturally, Man Chong understood this, but Geng's means of blending into the shadows and the sparkle of magic forced him to resort to long-range, wide-range attacks.

The ensuing "stiffness" allows Geng to skillfully attack the weakness, bringing about real stiffness.

Therefore.

Step by step, he walked into the trap laid by cypress.

In fact, it is not difficult to crack, just exchange the Pokémon early, but Geng Ghost still has a black gaze waiting for Mazula.

So don't look at the superiority of the Matara attribute, if you don't actually come up with something special, its fate has been doomed from the beginning.

"Once again, growth has been proven."

From Man Chong, a trainer who had fought back and forth with him, Kashiwagi clearly realized the huge span of his own strength.

It's not just the strength of Pokémon.

And Manchong himself has a clearer understanding of the growth of cypress.

"You're amazing, you're really amazing! Cedar! ”

He said with some excitement.

Even the newly subdued Geng Ghost still has such amazing power, so what should the other Pokémon be?

Manchong couldn't wait to pull out the next Poké Ball.

Kashiwagi was also ready to exchange, "Huh? ”

He was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand to Man Chong and said, "Wait, I have a call to answer." ”

“…… Good. ”

Full of throwing action for a while.

Flying around like a balloon, the Geng flew towards the trainer, curiously pricking up its ears to eavesdrop on the exchange, even if there were things it might not understand.

A few minutes later.

Kashiwagi hung up the phone with a strange expression, "I'm sorry, the battle may end here." Miss Junsha contacted me for the Flame Runner training. ”

"Huh?"

Man Chong was stunned.

——

The suburbs of Caiyou City.

Temporary storage of the flame.

Kashiwagi, who came in a hurry, and Man Chong saw Junsha standing at the door waiting.

"I've been waiting for Miss Junsha for a long time, and Kashiwagi has come to report."

He pulled out his trainer ID card and apologized.

Junsha didn't answer, and said with a smile: "I know you without identification, come in." This time, I'm just going to tell you a few things to know about the torch runners, so don't be nervous. ”

She led the two of them to the safery.

Full charge was a little excited, causing cypress to frequently look sideways.

"No, you're in the Silver Conference...... Haven't seen the flame before when you participated in the Rainbow Gathering? ”

"Nope! It was the first time I had come up close and personal with the flame. ”

He whispered.

Just now in the park, when Kashiwagi said that he wanted to be a flame runner, he was so excited that he didn't even fight, and hurriedly urged him to come over for training.

If it weren't for the fact that the Flame Runner was also part of Minoru Yama's marketing plan, Kashiwagi would have had the urge to give up his place.

Inside the depository.

The first thing the two of them saw was a mixture of orange-red, bright yellow, and incandescent white flames burning in the brazier.

"Flame Bird's Flame~"

Full charge was instantly captivated by it.

Kashiwagi was silent, only feeling that this three-color flame was really a little strange, although ordinary flames also had three colors, they were not as clearly divided into three parts as it was.

The flame of the flame bird?

Unlike the Silver Tournament, which uses the Flame of the Phoenix King that remains in the Temple, the flames of the Quartz Tournament and the Caiyou Tournament all come from the Flame Bird.

If there's any difference between the two, it doesn't seem to be.

Aside from the fact that Pokémon magic can be used, the sacred flame is simply a symbol, representing a certain spirit of perseverance and a talisman to pray to the gods for the safety of the contestants and Pokémon.

"Kashiwagi-kun, come here."

Miss Junsha picked up the torch that had been placed aside and handed it to Kashiwagi, explaining softly what to pay attention to when passing the flame in two days.

A total of four people took part in the torch relay.

Two people are responsible for the urban road section, and two people are responsible for the urban road to the stadium section.

Kashiwagi is not expected to be the last stick, and it will receive the most attention, Junsha reassures him not to have too much pressure, they will send police officers to follow the whole process, and there will be countermeasures in case of accidents.

Pressure?

He really didn't.

As long as there is no rocket team rushing to grab the flame, this kind of formality will definitely be stable.

He glanced at Manchong, and saw that his expression was serious and even wanted to record it in a notebook, and he felt helpless.

How much do you have to like the flame?

Why?

Kashiwagi took the opportunity of Miss Junsha to release the torch and asked directly.

Man Chong said shyly: "When I was a child, I was not in a very poor physique, and I had to go to Luyin Town to recuperate, and at that time, I watched the torch runners on TV and run more than ten kilometers with a smile on their faces, and I especially admired their physique." ”

It's been a long time and it still has something to do with the body.

He asked, "And how far can you run in one breath now?" Tens of kilometers? ”

Full charge stiffened, "No, I don't know...... But I didn't take a car last time I walked from Yuanzhu City to the middle of Manjin City! It's all on your feet! ”

The green-haired boy looked very proud.

“…… Wake up early tomorrow and run with me. Kashiwagi patted him on the shoulder.

If you don't take a transportation to the next city, you can take it out and blow it.,Are you a human in the Pokémon world?

Ash can even move at high speeds!

Is there so much difference between orange Chinese and real newcomers?

Man Chong turned his head sideways and promised with some weakness, "You, don't expect too much from me." ”

"It's okay, anyway, you're sick, and you can't die."

He smiled heartily.

After explaining the key points that the flame runners need to pay attention to, Junsha informed the exact time of the relay and let the two of them leave.

It just so happened that Kashiwagi went to the Pokémon center in the arena to register.

The two of them rushed to the car non-stop.

It's five o'clock in the afternoon.

There is already sunset and dusk on the horizon.

However, the stadium was still very lively, and from a distance, many trainers and sightseers shuttled around the stadium.

Years passed.

The venue of the Rainbow Conference is still not much different from when Ash participated.

It is also a multi-zigzag complex built on a man-made lake that looks like a huge city.

There are 15 small venues, five medium-sized venues, and a core pyramid-shaped venue.

The Pokémon Center at the entrance resembles a tower, and the Poké Balls on top are all golden.

Full of nostalgia, "I didn't expect to be here again - Caiyou Conference." ”

"You can come at any time if you want, right? The venue is usually put into use, huh? Kashiwagi said very scenously.

Man Chong, who had a soft temperament, didn't fight him, and said in a harmonious voice: "The battle that didn't finish just now, it's better to leave it to the conference in the Oulei region." ”

"Huh?"

He looked at Man Chong in surprise, "You're going to Ou Lei too?" ”

The latter bowed, "I actually thought before I participated in the Silver Conference, no matter what kind of results I get, I have to go to Oulei." I believe that after the end of this Lottery Conference, there will definitely be more people who will have the same idea as me. ”

Full of burning eyes, telling a certain fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Kashiwagi couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Then you have to think about it, it's good to get in and out, if you lose too badly, don't blame me for pulling you to plant trees." ”

"No problem! Plant as many trees as you like! ”

He said confidently, but soon his expression softened again.

Even people with the physique of Kashiwagi say that Ou Lei has a bad environment, how terrible is that place?

He had previously searched for pictures of the Ouray region on the Internet, and all he found was the endless desert, Gobi and desert.

Is that all like that?

As soon as he finished speaking, he was full of gongs and drums in his heart.

Less leaning.

After Kashiwagi checked in at the Pokémon Center in the arena, he glanced at the Ayuu convention strategy book that Miss Joy had sent him, which detailed the locations of various specialty restaurants.

Of course, some other shopping malls, hotels and other places also have records, so you can live a travel guide.

Man Chong also took out a Caiyou conference strategy book from his bag.

The difference between the two strategy books is quite big.

"Looks like a lot of things have been updated over the years...... I'll introduce you to someone in the evening. ”

He said casually, as if sensing something, and looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window into the distance.

As far as the eye could see, people gathered in a commotion.

Man Chong said puzzledly: "Did something happen?" ”

"I don't know, but something familiar seems to be over there." Kashiwagi frowned, the sudden feeling made him a little uncomfortable.

He walked in that direction, and Manchong hurried to follow.

When the two approached, there were two gilly egg nurses behind them pushing the stretcher cart and roaring over, shouting "lucky" and "lucky" all the way.

It's like an ambulance siren.

The crowd was forced to break away by the two gilly egg nurses.

Kashiwagi was able to see a dark-skinned girl with wet black hair and a thick and smooth waist, trying to make another girl with a pale face spit water.

When the two gilly eggs arrived, she quickly handed them over.

"It shouldn't be a big deal, it's just that I accidentally choked on water."

The dark-skinned girl confidently judged.

Suddenly.

She raised her head and looked at Kashiwagi who was looking at her, her face quickly flushed with excitement.

"Cypress - Wood ——!!"

Alice raised her right hand and shouted as she waved, attracting the attention of countless people.

“……”

Kashiwagi's face in a mask is a little dark.
