Chapter 543: A Stunning Crimson
Doubles is also a mainstream form of elf warfare.
Even in the PokΓ©mon games of the previous life, doubles were much more popular and enjoyable than singles.
There are only a few reasons, there are more routines in doubles, more tactics, more variables, and more sophisticated trainers' games.
However, in this world, singles are more popular.
After all, reality is not a turn-based game, and 1v1 battles are inherently variable.
At the very least, the most popular tournaments, including the Regional Tournaments, the World Gym Championships, the King Tournament, and the Eight Masters Tournaments, are all singles tournaments.
However, there are many trainers who are keen on doubles matches, and there are also some more authoritative doubles competitions, including single doubles and double doubles.
The challenge rule of the Tiannan Gym is double doubles, and the tradition of their gym is that the owner and his wife guard the badge.
It is precisely because of this that the Tiannan Daoist Hall has always attracted trainer couples from all over Donghuang to come to challenge, even if it is not to challenge the Donghuang Conference for collecting badges.
This is especially true after entering the Internet era, and even gradually has a trend of Internet celebrity.
came to challenge on a whim, and Xia Chen, who did not make an appointment, lined up for several hours.
And it wasn't until they got there that they learned that the format here was doubles.
"How about it, do you want to form a team and play together?"
Crimson suggested excitedly.
In the past few years, I have played against Xia Chen intermittently two or three times, but I have not been a teammate once, and this doubles is a good opportunity.
Xia Chen replied briskly: "Yes." β
Although he had never played doubles with Crimson, there was little tacit understanding between the two, but the good trainer had a similar ability to seize opportunities, and he was not too worried about the communication between the two.
After a brief registration, the two stepped into the venue of the gym challenge.
The husband and wife guarding the gym are older, and they look to be about fifty or sixty years old, but in doubles, this kind of tacit understanding of the battle, old age is an advantage.
Because of the unique doubles format of this gym, there are many spectators sitting on the sidelines watching the match, including local residents and tourists.
And with Xia Chen's current popularity in Donghuang, he was recognized as soon as he stepped into the arena of the battle.
Enthusiastic applause and the voice of his name were not hesitant to serve.
Xia Chen was so moved that this time it wasn't he who sent Xianbu or Menas to be recognized.
Although the owner and his wife of Tiannan Dao Hall were old, they were obviously concerned about current affairs, and they also quickly recognized Xia Chen.
They smiled kindly at Xia Chen, then turned their heads and whispered.
Then the Pavilion Master, who looked kind, greeted, "Wait a minute, let's go change a few elves." β
Xia Chen was speechless, okay, watching people cook, does this mean to give yourself strength?
I must be able to withstand it, I don't know if the red top can withstand it?
Well... There seems to be no need to worry about him, just enjoy the game.
Taking advantage of the fact that the owner and his wife went to change elves, Xia Chen also discussed tactics with Crimson on the side.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"The rule is four out of six, and if you assign it to each person, you choose two out of three, who are you going to send to play?"
Xia Chen was the first to ask.
His elven strength is slightly stronger than Crimson's, so he plans to let Crimson choose first, and he sends some convenient ones to cooperate.
Crimson thought for a moment and said, "Charizard, how about the Wonderful Frog Flower?" β
Xia Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Sunny Sky Team? β
The classic level of this combination is comparable to the large-billed gull and the Lotte kappa on a rainy day, as well as the old class and the dragon gopher of the sandstorm.
Crimson smiled and replied, "Because the Tiannan Daoist Pavilion is a Daoist Hall with the main attribute of the insect system, the fire system is a little easier to fight. β
Xia Chen nodded, this is true.
In the past, there was a classic joke in the elf battle, the attribute is Cordyceps, and the characteristic is that the dry skin of Pyrast is five times weaker.
Asked how much blood Pyrast still owes on a sunny day, characterized by the power of the sun, and the charcoal-carrying Charizard bursts into flames.
Although I don't know if the other side will send Pyrast, the main attack on the fire system is indeed the best choice to fight this gym.
Retracting his thoughts, Xia Chen said, "Okay, then I'll go to the Fire God Moth, the Cangyan Blade Ghost, and the Duolong Barutto." β
Xia Chen finalized the tactics here, and over there, the pavilion owner and his wife also returned to the battlefield.
The referee on the sidelines read out the rules of the battle as usual, "In a doubles battle between six selections and four pairs, there can be two super evolved and too crystalline elves on both sides at the same time, and when all the elves on one side lose the ability to fight, it will be regarded as a defeat." β
This rule is slightly different from ordinary doubles, where all four elves are near-dead to lose, and under this rule, theoretically, only two elves against one person can win.
Such rules actually test the cooperation between partners.
Both sides had no objection to the rules, and soon, with the referee's whistle and the enthusiastic cheers from the sidelines, the battle officially began.
Four white beams of light shone in unison, and the starting elves of both sides appeared.
In front of Xia Chen and Crimson, they were the Vulcan Moth and the Miao Frog Flower, respectively, while the first elves of the hall owner and his wife were the pot pot and the Flame Worm.
Xia Chen frowned, these two elves. There doesn't seem to be any disadvantage in the face of the Sunny Sky team.
The Flame Worm itself is a spirit with dual attributes of fireworms, and if it is not restrained by fire-based moves, it can also rub against the sunny sky of the opponent.
Even if its trait is [Ignite], it can completely absorb fire-based moves for your teammates!
The same is true of the insect rock attribute of the kettle, and although this elf is average on the offensive end, the defensive attribute is extremely rebellious.
What's even more unnatural is that it will also make a move called [Deuce Deuce] - divide its physical defense and special defense ability with the opponent.
Of course, this opponent is not only an opponent, but also a teammate.
This move perfectly compensates for the shortcomings of the Flamepeede's defensive end.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
With a quick idea of the possible development of this matchup, Xia Chen chose the best solution that his two lineups could deal with the opponent.
He turned his head to look at Crimson to communicate with him, only to find that Crimson also happened to be looking at him.
The two said in unison: "Solve the pot first!" β
When they looked at each other's eyes, they immediately understood that each other's thoughts were the same as their own, and they looked at each other and smiled.
Turning their heads, the two of them gave the first command respectively.
"Burning bugs, tailwind!"
"Wonderful Frog Flower, Angry Powder!"
Neither of them gave the order to impose a target, and they both believed in their tacit understanding with the elves.
At the same time, the owner and his wife on the opposite side of the rocky field also began to command.
"Kettle, defend the deuce!"
"Flame Beed, hold on!"
The strength of the four elves is not far behind, they are all at the level of the Daoguan, and their reactions are even faster.
The moment the command was given, the four elves began to move at the same time.
Because the opponent's two elves did not choose to attack, the Vulcan Moth's tailwind was unhindered by the flapping of the three pairs of wings.
A strange wind from the energy of the flying system blew from behind the Fire God Moth and the Wonderful Frog Flower.
With the help of this gust of wind, the showy flowers on the back of the frog flower seem to be secreting pollen a little faster.
Soon, dots of dark green powder flew towards the flamepee in the wind.
In normal times, the anger powder that is released so quickly and goes with the wind is likely to hit.
It's a pity that the Flame Worm chose to hold on to it at the beginning of the game with extreme conservatism, and a little bit of powder was absorbed by this translucent energy barrier and disappeared into invisibility.
And after the barrier disappeared, the body of the pot on the side happened to light up with a pale silver light.
The light condensed into substance, merging into the body of the Flame Pede, and visible to the naked eye, the surface of the Flame Worm also lingered with a pale silver glow.
The defensive deuce takes effect!
The thin-skinned and brittle Flame Worm gains nearly half of the Kettle's defensive attributes, which is almost the result of at least two iron walls plus instant amnesia!
In the first round of confrontations, the more tacit Tiannan couple had a slight upper hand.
However, Xia Chen and Crimson had no disappointment in this scene.
The use of the Flame Worm at the beginning of the game is actually a card, but the reason why Crimson still uses hypnotic powder on it is for only one purpose -
Make the other party mistakenly believe that the target they want to target is the Flame Pede.
So he commanded categorically: "Miao Frog Flower, sacrifice yourself to collide!" β
Xia Chen also shouted: "Vulcan Moth, Storm!" β
The Wonderful Frog Flower, which was as huge as a tank, was the first to start, and the muscles of its short but thick legs opened and closed, and its entire body quickly rushed in the direction of the Flame Worm.
Although the weather at this time is not a sunny day, it has not been able to trigger its characteristic of doubling its speed [chlorophyll] on a sunny day, but with the blessing of the tailwind, the overall speed of the wonderful frog flower is still very fast.
At least in the face of the more bulky kettles and flameworms.
At the same time, the Vulcan Moth also flapped its wings vigorously, converging a violent hurricane in front of it with flying energy.
This is one of the only three weaknesses of the firebug-based Flame Beed.
At this moment, not to mention the audience on the sidelines, even the owner and his wife believed that their target was the Flame Pede.
Such a strategy plays into their hands.
Young man, I'm afraid you don't know how hard the Flame Pee can be with the blessing of defensive deuces!
"Pot, sticky net!"
"Flame Worm, Flame Whip!"
The sticky net used in the pot is a relatively unpopular insect variation move, but the effect is not simple-
Lay a layer of sticky net under the opponent's feet, and the elves on the field will not be affected in any way, and the elves who are replaced on the field will fall into the net and reduce their speed!
In popular understanding, it is a slowed down version of the invisible rock.
The role of this elf in doubles is very limited, and it can only play the role of a tool man.
After helping a teammate with a defensive deuce, the most you can do is use this kind of disgusting variation.
If it's an offensive and defensive elf, it's actually a better choice to gather fire with the Flame Worm at this time.
Unfortunately, it can't, so the Flame Worm has to fight alone.
Fierce flames erupted from the yellow heat-generating organs of its abdomen, and quickly burned through the flamepeed's slender body.
From a distance, it looks like a long whip made of flames.
The Flame Worm whipped its body and danced its dense beetle feet and slammed towards the rushing frog flower, wanting to take the all-out sacrificial collision head-on.
Seeing that a head-to-head confrontation between Mars and the earth was inevitable, the figure of the wonderful frog flower suddenly froze, and its four claws exerted force, and it actually braked the running body!
The rocks beneath your feet were torn apart by the sudden "brakes", and the sand and dust were flying.
Bathed in rich energy, the wonderful frog flower relied on inertia to complete the turn, and aimed at the pot pot that was spitting sticky nets on the side!
And the storm condensed by the Vulcan Moth behind him also activated, and the chaotic and violent airflow blew in the direction of the kettle under the control of the Vulcan Moth!
At this moment, the strategy of the two is clearly revealed-
Their target of fire gathering has never been the Flame Pede, but the kettle pot that has long been less hard after separating its defensive capabilities!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The deceptiveness of the hypnotic powder that Miao Frog Flower had before was too high, and the two elves on the field didn't expect the opponent to suddenly turn their guns.
Even though the trainer behind him had already shouted for the kettle to shrink into the shell at the first time, the kettle still couldn't react.
In front of the Miao Frog Flower, which is as huge as a small tank, the pot pot is at best an old man's music, and it is directly knocked away by the Miao Frog Flower that accelerates twice without any suspense!
Then the [Tempest] that struck completed the air relay and swallowed the kettle into the raging turbulence.
The chaotic air flow condensed into a sharp blade scraping against the kettle's body, its bare limbs and head were devastated, and even its hard shell was left with countless fine scars by the blade.
The Flame Worm had no choice but to twist its body and whip the Frog Flower with the flames, so as to make this confrontation less disadvantageous.
Although the fire type can deal double damage to the Frog Flower, the small tank with thick skin and flesh can withstand the flame whip, and the kettle, which has divided half of its defense, cannot withstand the attacks of the two powerful output moves of sacrifice and storm.
The storm stopped, there was a loud click, and the kettle fell from the air to the ground, and there was no sound - no longer able to fight!
This seems like an incredible thing, but it doesn't work like that.
Although the pot is a well-known top-level meat shield, it is strong in outrageous double defense, but it is pitifully low in terms of life and physical strength.
After dividing half of the defensive ability, in fact, there are no ordinary elves who can top. is set on fire in seconds, and it is not a fantasy.
In less than a minute after the opening, the "first blood" of this battle was born, and enthusiastic cheers rang out from the sidelines.
It is very rare for the Tiannan Gym couple to send the main elves to deal with the Gym Challenge, which is destined to be of high quality.
And the strength and tactics of the challenger are even more gratifying.
Of course, the object of joy was not Xia Chen, but Crimson.
After all, with Xia Chen's strength, there are countless outstanding performances than this one.
However, this seemingly relatively strange trainer showed a really unexpected strength.
Not to mention the young age, Miao Frog Flower's strength has already reached the Daoist level.
What's even more amazing is that the two commands that did not explain the target of the attack at all directly made the hall owner misjudge.
And the drift of the wonderful frog flower is even more aura, forcibly cooperating with the fire god moth to drop the pot in an incredible second.
Some doubts arose in their hearts.
Who is this little-known young man?
