Chapter Seventy-One: The Significance of the Gym
Sure enough, Lin Qing and Elena took Xiao Gang to the elf center, and after listening to Elena's story, Masano rejected the suggestion to lend an elf to Xiao Gang to spend this period temporarily.
"Why not?" Elena was a little dissatisfied with Masano's straightforward refusal, "It's not a big deal, it's just a small favor." ”
Elena, who grew up in a big family, knows that there are not many elves above level fifty in a big family, but elves in level thirty are not rare.
Because an elf's breakthrough through the threshold of level forty is related to resources, and breaking through the threshold of level fifty is related to the qualifications of elves, and in the case of limited resources and qualifications, normal cultivation and training, as long as there is enough time, most elves can step into the realm of level thirty.
This is also the level that most of the elves in the hands of civilian trainers can eventually reach, and elves of this level are common even in the hands of some civilian trainers, let alone among the famous families with abundant resources.
"Not really." Zhengye frowned, looking at Xiao Gang Dao, who was a little cramped next to him, "Do you know the meaning of a gym trainer?" ”
Xiao Gang's answer was a little nervous: "Accept the trainer's challenge and give the winning trainer a gym badge." ”
Lin Qing also heard that something was wrong, and only felt that the meaning of the gym trainer was not this, but he couldn't say it for a while, so he could only look at Zhengye and wait for Zhengye to continue.
Masano seems to have a lot to say today, but his tone is still very calm.
"Then do you think that the gym trainer must win when he fights against the trainer who came to challenge?"
"This ......" Xiao Gang couldn't answer, because even when his father was a gym trainer, he sometimes lost battles.
Sometimes, it is obviously a battle with a big difference in strength, and my father's elf will not lose, but my father deliberately loses the game. Xiao Gang sometimes asked his father why, but his father would only smile and wave his hand, so that Xiao Gang didn't care.
Masano continued:
"For the gym trainers, losing to the trainers who came to challenge is like a fate, but this kind of loss is not the lack of strength of the gym trainers themselves, but a recognition of the trainers who challenge."
"Not long ago, I was at the Light Red Gym on the outskirts of Light Red City, and I got the Light Red Badge from the Light Red Gym trainer Ah Ju. However, as a long-famous poison elf master, even a trainer with the strength of the champion of the regional alliance conference may not be able to defeat him, but every year the Light Red Dao Pavilion will send out more than a hundred badges, could it be that the trainers who get these badges all have the strength of surpassing Ah Ju? ”
"I heard that Mr. Ah Ju's strength is not inferior to several heavenly kings of the alliance." Lin Qing nodded secretly beside him, the gym trainers of the Light Red Dao Pavilion should be regarded as the top existence among all the Dao Gym trainers, after all, Ah Ju finally went to the Chengdu region and became the poison king of the Chengdu.
"Is that Ah Ju so powerful?" Elena was surprised when she heard this, when she and Masano went to the Light Red Gym before, they didn't see what a powerful character that gym trainer was.
"Then why are these trainers able to get the badge of the gym......" Xiao Gang was a little confused by Masano's words and questions.
At this time, Masano proposed: "Let's have a battle, I will be the gym trainer, and you will challenge me with the mentality of a challenger." ”
"Zhengye ......" Elena seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Lin Qing.
Elena looked at Lin Qing puzzled, the level of the elves in Zhengye's hands was not low, wasn't it a bit of a bully to fight against Xiao Gang.
Lin Qing looked at the back of Zhengye who took Xiaogang to the underground of the Elf Center to face the battlefield, and said in a low voice: "We have to believe Zhengye, he will handle this matter well." ”
Elena didn't say anything more, and followed Lin Qing to the opposite battlefield.
At this time, it was already afternoon, and the public free battle ground below the elf center had been occupied by the trainers who had come to learn, and several people simply spent some elf coins to rent a private battle room.
On both sides of the battle, Xiao Gang and Masano have come to both ends of the field, ready to take their places.
"This time it's a 1v1 match. In the gym competition, it is usually the gym trainer who releases the elves first. As he spoke, Masano threw out his Poké Ball, "I'm using, Night Giant." ”
Masano's Poké Ball opened in the air, and an elf wrapped in a gray-white bandage appeared on the battlefield.
Unexpectedly, Zhengye's Night Skull has also evolved into a Night Giant, Lin Qing looked at the Zhengye Night Giant's level evaluation and steady appearance of up to thirty-four displayed on the illustrated book, and remembered that he was now just at level 30 and still had some out-of-tune ghosts every day, obviously caught them in the same place at the same time, why is the gap so big.
Xiao Gang on the other side also released his spirit after seeing the night giant in Zhengye, which was the big rock snake that Lin Qing had seen in the cave before, and the picture book showed that the level of this big rock snake was at level twenty-four.
"This big rock snake has no chance of winning at all." When Elena saw such a big level gap between the two sides.
After some guidance from Zhengye just now, Lin Qing understood a little: "The big rock snake has no chance of winning, it doesn't mean that Xiao Gang has no chance of winning." ”
Elena looked at Lin Qing suspiciously, but Lin Qing just smiled and let Elena continue to look at it, what was the point if Masano just let the night giant use an attack move to kill the big rock snake in seconds.
The battle begins, and the first to attack is the Night Giant of Masano.
"Night Giant, use provocation."
The blue-black energy representing the evil attribute was instantly launched from the night giant's hand, and the huge body of the big rock snake was a live target, and it didn't need to aim at all, it hit it directly.
The blue-black energy fluctuations formed a film-like existence, wrapping around the periphery of the Great Rock Snake, indicating that the Great Rock Snake had entered a state of provocation, in which the elves could only use attack moves, not change moves such as self-regeneration and paralyzing powder.
"Why use provocation on the big rock snake, the big rock snake is not an elf who is good at changing moves." Elena analyzed, puzzled.
And Xiao Gang didn't panic when he saw Masano use provocation first, as Elena said, the big rock snake is not a spirit who is good at changing moves, and provocatively limiting the effect is not a big impact on the big rock snake.
"Great Rock Serpent, use Rockslide!"
With the low groan of the Great Rock Serpent, the energy of the rock attribute converged into a plane in mid-air, and countless rocks fell from the plane in the air, smashing down the night giant below.
I don't know if it's my own illusion, Lin Qing always felt that the big rock snake seemed to be struggling when using the rock avalanche. No, a rock avalanche of this intensity should not be the case for a twenty-four-level large rock snake.
On the other side, Masano did not let the Night Giant avoid the attack, but carried the rock avalanche of the Great Rock Serpent, allowing the Night Giant to take the opportunity to use another move: "Night Giant, use the curse." ”
Although the Night Giant resisted a large rock serpent's rock avalanche, the curse was successfully activated.
"Oops." Xiao Gang's secret path is not good, the night giant is an elf with a ghost attribute, and the curse cast by the ghost attribute elf is a move that will make the elf who is hit continue to be affected by the curse effect in the battle and cause damage.
"Great Rock Serpent, use quicksand hell on the Night Giants."
Xiao Gang wanted to use the Great Rock Serpent's quicksand hell to restrain the Night Giant's actions, but Masano still didn't let the Night Giant dodge, but let the Night Giant fall into the quicksand hell that appeared under his feet.
"The Night Giant doesn't care about anything else, just use it to sleep." Masano directly let the Night Giant use the sleep move in the Quicksand Hell, the Night Giant has a high double resistance, and the Rock Snake's own attack talent is also very limited, so the Night Giant can fully wake up before being consumed by the Quicksand Hell.
"Haven't you noticed the problem yet?"
"What?" Xiao Gang was stunned by Masano's reminder.
Zhengye pointed to Xiao Gang's big rock snake and said, "The energy consumption of the big rock snake. ”
Xiao Gang heard the words and carefully observed his big rock snake, and then noticed that the big rock snake was already quite tired, not due to the injury damage caused by the curse, but the exhaustion caused by the use of moves.
"Why ......" shouldn't be, the big rock snake obviously only used two moves, why is the consumption so large.
"This is the characteristic of the Night Giant, the sense of oppression!"
Different from Xiao Gang's puzzlement, Lin Qing heard Zhengye's reminder next to him, and also noticed that what he had just done was not an illusion, this was the characteristic of the night giant, the sense of oppression.
Fighting against the night giant with the oppressive characteristic, the consumption of the elf's moves will become larger, although the big rock snake is because of the large level gap, so it can have such an obvious effect, but it can still be seen that the development of the night giant of Masano for the oppression characteristic is quite in place.
After Lin Qing's reminder, Xiao Gang also reacted: "What should I do?" ”
Looking at the night giant who fell asleep to recover his strength and injuries, Xiao Gang was very entangled, if he attacked again, the consumption of the big rock snake would be very large, and he would not last long before he would lose his strength and fall, if he didn't attack, when the night giant returned to his state, the battle would be even more unfavorable.
Moreover, during the period when the night giant was sleeping, the provocative state of the big rock snake was not lifted, so he managed to use changing moves, such as hardening and the like, to strengthen his spirit, even if he didn't do anything, the big rock snake's injuries would continue to worsen, and finally he would fall.
Xiao Gang was completely confused, what should he do.
Elena also understood Masano's tactics at this time: "Masano fights like this, to be honest, the intentions are too sinister." ”
Lin Qing nodded, this is probably the disgusting place of the ghost elves, all kinds of changing moves and tactical combinations can really bring a lot of blows to the opponent's mind.
"Are you going to give up like this, is there no other way out?"
"What else can I do about this......" Xiao Gang was a little desperate for Zhengye's soul torture.
"Since there is no way back, why not give it a go." Saying that, Zhengye actually gave an order to Xiao Gang's big rock snake.
Since there is no way back, why not give it a go, Masanye's words hit Xiao Gang's heart deeply.
Xiao Gang, who was almost desperate in his heart, gradually clenched his fists: "Big Rock Snake, use the double-edged head hammer against the night giant with the greatest strength!" ”
"At this time, using an attack move is just a matter of consumption." Elena was already a little numb with Masano's tactics, which made her come to fight Masano, and she couldn't think of any good way.
The Great Rock Serpent trusted his master's orders, and decisively attacked the Night Giant with a double-edged hammer.
Lin Qing looked at Xiao Gang's big rock snake attacking the night giant: "Not necessarily, maybe the result will be unexpected." ”
The power of the double-edged head hammer is quite amazing, and it actually interrupted the night giant's sleep, and the night giant who woke up from his sleep state, although his physical strength and injuries were partially restored, he did not fully recover.
And the big rock snake that used the double-edged head hammer was exhausted and looked like it was about to be unable to support it, but it still insisted on standing on the battlefield opposite.
Lin Qing speculated that Xiao Gang's big rock snake should have a hard head, so it was not damaged by the reaction force of the double-edged head hammer, so it could still stand on the battlefield like now.
At this time, the previous provocative state on the Great Rock Serpent has also disappeared, if the level gap between the Great Rock Serpent and the Night Giant is not so large, then the battle may have taken a turn here.
"Alright, the battle is over." Masano took out the Poké Ball and retrieved the Night Giant.
Xiao Gang looked at Masano's movements in a daze: "......"
Masano: "Don't you understand, the gym has never been a challenge for trainers, the challenges set by the gym have always been aimed at the trainers themselves, and it has been and will always be so. ”
