【Extra】The Road to the Champion of the Daye Heavenly King (4)

How to defeat Zhulan?

This is a profound question, and one that has plagued all of Sinnoh's top trainers for years.

After all, that woman was terrifying.

Ten years ago, it was thought that this rising girl would become the shortest-serving Sinnoh champion.

Because according to the past practice, this kind of talented player won the title by surprise to win the hole card, once someone figured out the number of ways to play, hundreds of challengers will deploy a targeted team to launch a siege against them.

Inexperienced champions are often usurped during this period, and they are severely educated by the predecessors of the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger.

This is the so-called "rookie wall" or "rookie champion curse".

However, Zhulan did not encounter this difficulty.

A spider's web may be able to stick to a few small insects jumping off the beam, but it will not hinder the flying birds with their wings spread out in the slightest—there is nothing in this sentence that disparages the insect family.

When people in the past began to look through the competition records and analyze the weaknesses of this woman with great interest, they were surprised to find that this little girl champion did not have even a single shortcoming.

Mixed attribute master, offensive and defensive all-round, strategy and on-the-spot response are full marks. To be intense, to be skillful.

Not a mediocre omnipotence, but perfection in all aspects.

Eventually, anyone who tries to challenge the new champion for glory ends up succumbing to the pale blue bone spurs of the land shark.

Five years ago, it was thought that the battle-hardened beauty champion was on the verge of a career decline.

Because this is the professional bottleneck that every champion will encounter - battle damage and injury are always the main theme of high-intensity confrontation sports, and trainers are bound to experience a period of decline in the overall combat effectiveness after reaching the top level of strength.

Zhulan is young, inexperienced, and still a young man, so naturally she doesn't have a deep understanding of the ruthlessness of the years, and it is impossible to prepare for the second main force so early.

It takes at least five years to train a main team, how can anyone start consciously cultivating their second team while winning the championship with high spirits?

However, just as people waited to see the tragic scene of the fall of the superstar, Ms. Zhulan introduced her second fierce bite land shark.

What's even more terrifying is that this "rough-skinned" biting land shark defeated the main hippopotamus beast of the ground king Kikuno in its first battle after its debut.

The victim, Ms. Kikuno, confessed that the strength of the new earth dragon was not inferior to that of the old earth dragon who announced his retirement at the peak of his combat power......

It is said that after hearing about the battle, the Sinnoh League changed the rules of the competition overnight, prohibiting teams from carrying more than one Pokémon with the same Pokédex number. I'm afraid that one day in the alliance game, there will be a desperate scene of two fierce bite land sharks taking turns to appear and double dragons playing with pearls to kill the game......

After that, Zhulan's new team took shape one after another, and gradually formed a diversified youthful and metamorphosed horror lineup with a multi-core main force, rich attributes, and surplus tactics.

It's becoming more and more invincible.

And now, that woman has been standing in the Sinnoh battle realm for a full ten years.

There is no sustainable dynasty in the world, but people can't imagine any reason for Zhulan to lose.

"It's you kid who is playing against Zhulan this year! Ran all the way to the battle against the Special Administrative Region, is this to learn from me? ”

A hearty voice exploded in his ears, and the Fire Heavenly King Daya grinned at the blonde man in front of him in a brown-green trench coat.

"Yes, I'm preparing to challenge for the Zhulan Championship."

The tall middle-aged trainer raised his forehead and laughed: "You came to the combat special zone to find the right enemy." In the entire Sinnoh, I have the most experience in fighting Zhulan, except for Gomatsu, and I am the only one who is the pioneer leader of the battle tower. Back then, that girl came to us from time to time to kick the gym, and it was really a time of unsafe life. ”

"Actually, Mr. Lang, I'm here to ask you a question that I already know the answer to."

Daye's expression was serious, but he said something that he didn't understand.

"Oh?" Mr. Yu Lang was stunned for a moment, but then suddenly realized, "I guess, the question you want to ask is what is Zhulan's weakness, right?" ”

"No, I've already asked Gomatsu this question. Although that guy lacks competitive spirit and likes to be a yin man at the end of the game, his ability to see through his opponent's flaws is still very good. Even he said there were no weaknesses, and I guess the answer on your side wouldn't be any different. ”

"Gomatsu is right. But what exactly do you want to ask? ”

Mr. Maharaja, who was in charge of the entire Battle Zone, became more and more confused, and asked the Fire Heavenly King in front of him in confusion.

"Zhulan, this woman, has she ever been defeated?" Daye asked seriously, unintentionally without the slightest hint of self-doubt or joke.

As if asking some objective natural phenomenon - "Will the sun really rise again?" "Do Circle Bears Hibernate?" "Zhulan, has she really been defeated?"

The question was outrageous, but the response of the respondents was even more bizarre.

I saw the big hand of the nut press his forehead heavily, and then laughed irrepressibly-

"That's a wonderful question! Daye, I originally thought that you were a straight bear who would rush up to fight with your head covered regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, but now it seems that you are much smarter than those people in Wusong, and you actually began to think about this profound and boundless philosophical question! ”

"Please tell me the answer."

"If you ask this question to Zhulan herself, she will definitely tell you in a gentle tone that she has encountered all kinds of failures herself, picking some stupid little stories, such as not winning a gold medal in a gorgeous competition when she was a child, being chased by a horde of wild elves, and being at a disadvantage in the face of irresistible mythical creatures, etc., and use these nonsense to dispel your boring curiosity. But what you need, isn't that the answer? ”

"Exactly." Under the red explosive head, Daye said extremely seriously, "I want your answer." ”

"Then I'll be the destroyer of this incomprehensible fairy tale." The bright sneer on his face is a common expression used by adults when they confide in their juniors about the dark side of society.

I saw him slowly shake his head and declare almost cruelly: "No." ”

"I vouch for my reputation against Ta Da Jun, and so far, the Bamboo Orchid Champion has never lost a Pokémon battle. Whether it is singles, doubles, all-out battles, or the various types of battles here in our combat zone, whether it is using her own elves or other people's elves, no matter how different the strength is, she has never lost. She fought me three times while fighting in the Special Zone, the first time with a draw on my side that was slightly weaker, the second time when I lost and the third time when I lost badly. She still hasn't lost once. ”

Daye sighed lightly, not knowing whether to be disappointed or relieved: "Is that really the case?" Although I also witnessed her past battles, I didn't expect it to be like this. ”

"That being said, I like her brother's fight more than Zhulan's fight." The sudden mention of a detective who was not in the Sinnoh region made Daya a little overwhelmed.

"Looks like Hugo, right? It's a real pleasure to watch that guy play on loan. No skill can be used smoothly in the whole process, no matter how obvious the advantage is, as long as the guy opens his mouth to give an order, the situation will take a sharp turn, and there will be no return in the direction of defeat and farce. Seriously, even if a professional actor deliberately wants to act like him, it will take a lot of effort. ”

Daye also knew what Hugo's situation was like in the battle, and he couldn't help but shake his head and say: "In terms of Pokémon battles, that person is simply the opposite of Zhulan." ”

"No, I wouldn't say that." The hammer suddenly became serious. "My brother's clumsiness and misfortune are a matter of constitution, a malice from some force in the depths of the universe that cannot be understood by humans. But my sister's success and luck are not like this. The two cannot be placed side by side on both ends of the scale. ”

The Fire Heavenly King's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped some kind of fleeting inspiration, and he asked excitedly, "Mr. Lang, what do you mean?" ”

Battle Tower Lord nodded: "Pokémon Battle is a place where you can tell everything about trainers. What elves to choose, what moves to use, what props to carry, what tactics to use, how to embody in battle, how to behave, how to adapt, and how to end these things all come together to prove the whole picture and heels of a trainer. It is precisely because of this that I, who have dealt with Zhulan so many times, although I have lost all the battles, can frankly express to you today-"

He said in a deep voice: "Unlike Hugo's physique, Zhulan's talent is a genuine mortal thing. ”

"It's something that comes out of nothing, and it can accumulate over time...... It can also be defeated by people who are also humans......" Ying and the words of the Lord of the Tower, Daye muttered.

He remembered the afternoon when he first faced Zhulan, the atmosphere of the Futaba Town Youth Tournament was in full swing, and the fierce fire monkey was slashed by the fanged land shark, and finally lost.

The little devil who lost the game back then cried so unwillingly, but he regretted that he didn't work hard enough and didn't play perfectly in battle, and he didn't think that victory should belong to the little girl in the lace dress opposite.

"Oh? There's a good fire burning in your eyes, and it seems that you have a good plan to deal with the Championship Challenge? The hearty laughter sounded again, but this time, Daye didn't feel so harsh.

"Thank you, Mr. Hammer." The Fire King bowed deeply, "Please look forward to the next Championship Challenge!" ”

Looking at the figure of the Daye Heavenly King leaving in a wind ball, he rubbed his chin, but what he thought in his heart was-

"If this guy is lucky enough to win the championship, can I also take the opportunity to grab a championship? Isn't there a hidden rule? Through the alliance conference, the four Heavenly Kings and the newly appointed Daye should be able to avoid the battle with Zhulan and directly impact the title of champion......"

As his thoughts drifted farther and farther away, the Lord of the Battle Tower suddenly remembered one thing-

Zhulan's invincibility is not without water.

When fighting against the Special Zone, sometimes Zhulan will encounter battles that are theoretically almost impossible to win. Whenever this happens, the unlucky Hugo will suddenly appear as if he was strolling in the garden, and come to his sister's ear to say something that is not there, after that, Zhulan's fighting style is like planting a landmine, at the beginning it is still the usual steady and steady style, and at a certain moment, it will suddenly change the hexagram, showing the unbelievable, but effective enough to resolve the crisis operation.

He always suspected that it might be his brother's ploy to push the show before the game began.

However, how did an unlucky guy who couldn't even participate in the battle guess the situation of the battle that didn't happen so thoroughly? This doubt has not been answered, and the opportunity for Hugo to meet directly is limited, and every time he accidentally fails to ask.

"Alas, you should have told Daye this information as well......" Looking at the empty sky, he scratched his head.

But anyway, I heard that the younger brother seems to have left Sinnoh now, so it is impossible to affect the championship challenge here...... Probably?

Thinking of this, this middle-aged man couldn't help but relax again.

Happy New Year to everyone!
