Pokemon Dawn

No.290 On the Combat Quality of Marathon Runners

Under the glare of Charizard's big eyes that said "want to fight" written all over it, the sturdy boy standing opposite Xiaoye took out the Poké Ball in a leisurely manner.

As a veteran of the Grand Contest, Hiraoka Daiki would no longer be affected by the atmosphere of the arena. After seeing that the Pokémon on the opposite side was not an easy character to deal with, he immediately sent out a water Pokémon with attributes that could restrain Charizard.

"Giant Crab, please!"

Dahui's giant claw crab has the style of a coordinator's partner. The hard shell is brightly colored and has graceful and smooth concave and convex arcs. It has obviously been carefully polished by a beautician. In comparison, Charizard is a completely rough guy. Not only

She never does beauty treatments, and she grins to make her face look even uglier.

After the referee gave the signal to start the game, Dahui took the lead in giving the order, "Bubble light!"

The giant claw crab opened its claws and sprayed out powerful water bubbles. However, it did not aim at the fire-breathing dragon, but directly hit the ice. The ice mist and water mist immediately mixed and spread, covering a small half of the field.

The claw crab also disappeared, causing the Charizard who was about to breathe fire to brake quickly and turn into a Charizard.

"Oh, this is really a gorgeous scene!" The tiny ice particles reflected the sunlight, and the commentator couldn't help but exclaimed, "Contestant Dahui is indeed a person with three years of experience as a coordinator. The giant claw crab is hidden by the ice fog.

You got up, are you trying to wait for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack?"

Xiaoye glanced at Charizard, who was blushing and thick-necked, and decided not to be as conservative as usual in testing.

"The Pledge of Fire."

After the words fell, many pillars of fire broke out of the ice. Hot wind and red light instantly swallowed up the entire venue, burning the fog clean. The giant claw crab was gliding silently on the ice, and the sudden change of the battlefield stunned it.

Suddenly, when he looked up, he found that the grinning face of Charizard was almost attached to his shell.

"Iron Tail."

"Hooray!"

The shining silver tail hit the giant crab hard on the face, until its whole body rolled and flew out. Dahui didn't have time to worry about whether there were a few more cracks on the giant crab's shell, and immediately said:

"Hold!"

The giant claw crab that was still hanging in the air immediately opened its green light shield, barely blocking the ensuing flame fist. The fire-breathing dragon's offensive was temporarily blocked, and the giant claw crab took this opportunity to land firmly on the ground, using the smooth ice surface

After a few quick turns, the distance was widened.

Dahui knows that although the Giant Claw Crab is powerful, its flexibility is far inferior to that of a fire-breathing dragon with wings, and it is difficult to gain an advantage in close combat. In contrast, mid-range combat is the best choice.

.

Charizard is very maneuverable in the air and will not be easily hit. If you want to restrict its movement...

"Giant Claw Crab, use the crab claw hammer to lift the ice!"

The giant claw crab waved its heavy claws, and the ice surface was easily pierced like tofu. As the giant claw crab exerted its force, the huge ice cube was completely lifted up, turning into a thick ice wall standing in the middle.

.

Of course, the Quartz Alliance's battle arena cannot be a shoddy project. Being able to turn the ice upside down is enough to show how amazing the giant claw crab's strength is.

"Okay, let's seduce..."

"Big characters burst into flames."

Dahui's instructions in a low voice were stuck in the middle, and his always calm expression froze.

He instructed the giant claw crab to create such a huge ice shield to induce Charizard to bypass obstacles, making the Charizard's flight path easier to predict and facilitating long-range strikes. He didn't think Charizard would go through such a difficult effort.

Thick ice cubes, but listen to the other party's instructions... Could it be...

A loud rumbling sound interrupted Dahui's thinking. Large red flames were set fiercely on the ice wall, and the high temperature instantly melted the ice and snow. Then came the second and third shots - the ultimate fire attack.

It was thrown out by the fire-breathing dragon almost without any gap. While everyone was still stunned, the flames had already burned the giant claw crab.

Before Dahui could shout out the defense instructions, Xiaoye's next order arrived quickly.

"overheat."

The large-character flames intensified and were replaced by flaming beams as dazzling as the sun. Blazing winds and heat waves rose from the ground, causing the audience to temporarily close their eyes. After everything subsided, the giant claw crab, which had been burned all red, looked like

Like a cooked crab, it fell dizzy between the snow water and crushed ice.

Dahui: "..."

Audiences:"……"

Xiaojie who just walked into the sports field: "..."

Xiaojie's second round was randomly assigned at 8:30 in the morning. He had checked everyone's match times last night, and after the second round was broken through very efficiently, he immediately ran to the D sub-venue next door, intending to watch Xiao Ye

the match of.

Then as soon as I entered the door, I saw a scene of a fire-breathing dragon bombarding an unlucky crab.

Even though Xiaojie's nerves were so strong, he couldn't help but shed a few drops of cold sweat. He had played against Xiaoye in the past, and he had never thought that Xiaoye had such a violent and crazy style...

Could it be that you have been stimulated by something recently?

On the court, "a veteran of gorgeous competitions whose mentality will not be affected by the atmosphere of the stadium" opened his mouth slightly, showing a slightly dull expression in a very unglamorous manner. And his soul was in tune with the countless spectators present.

Yes, it is certainly amazing to be able to melt an ice wall and inflict fatal damage to a giant claw crab in one breath. Only very powerful fire-based moves can do this. This scene is enough to show that Charizard has hard power that far exceeds that of a giant claw crab. But

There are obviously many more ways to fight that save energy than direct indiscriminate bombardment. And I’m afraid the damage just now was overflowing...

Looking at the large crater melted by the flames at the other end of the field, Xiaoye, one of the instigators, quietly revealed a speechless look behind her sunglasses. She knew that Charizard had been too energetic these days and had long wanted to vent his anger by fighting.

After a while, I didn't expect that this brother would go so far when he vented his anger. Xiao Ye even suspected that what he had eaten was not breakfast but a bomb.

Charizard, who had sprayed enough fire, was satisfied. Before he could ask for another fight, Xiaoye took it back into the Poké Ball. Seeing the end of the crazy Charizard, Dahui on the opposite side breathed a visible sigh of relief and sent out his own

The second Pokémon, Longtail.

Xiaoye had seen this Pokémon in Dahui's Gorgeous Contest video before. It was usually responsible for the display of the first round of review of the Gorgeous Contest and had never participated in the Gorgeous Battle. Xiaoye thought about it and threw out a token from her pocket.

Pichu was shocked by the Poké Ball.

The little Snow Boy followed the light and appeared in the field, looking left and right curiously. He was not nervous at all because of the crowd. On the contrary, Pichu was so nervous that his fur burst out, and he quickly poked Xiaoye several times with his tail.

, "Master, did you throw the ball to the wrong hill? Let Yukidouzi play on the wrong hill??"

Xiaoye, who was standing within the range of the loudspeaker, couldn't speak easily, so she could only reach out and touch two handfuls of Pichu's fur to comfort it. Look at Snow Boy again... Hey, where is Snow Boy?

Xiaoye raised her head suddenly and was shocked to see Snow Boy running towards the opposite half. The referee, who had not yet waved the flag, thought that Snow Boy was trying to attack and was about to stop it, but he didn't know what to do when he saw its subsequent actions.

alright.

Yukidouzi didn't even notice that he was being stared at by tens of thousands of spectators. He happily stopped in front of the long-tailed monster and stuffed something in his hand to the long-tailed monster. Before he could do anything, he looked confused.

The little monkey reacted, and Snow Boy rushed to the trainer of the long-tailed monster and forced the same thing into the boy's hand.

After completing this series of actions, Snow Boy happily waved his little hands, jumped twice, and ran back to his half of the court. Dahui and the long-tailed monster looked at each other with round little ice balls in their hands, completely fascinated by this trick.

The operation was messed up.

As Yuki Doji's trainer, Xiaoye was unprofessionally stuck for several seconds before she finally guessed Yuki Doji's meaning. That cute-looking little hockey puck... could it be a meeting gift given to friends who met for the first time?

While Xiaoye was racking his brains, several ice pucks were piled up at the referee's feet. Before he left, he didn't forget to show a big innocent smile to the referee. His smile made people's hearts melt, and the referee who was holding the flag in both hands didn't even know he was

Should I throw the flag and get the puck or put the flag on the puck?

...No, please hold your flag tightly and don’t give up!

Sensing the referee's wavering from afar, Xiaoye quickly gave Yukidouzi a powerful look and waved her hand to come back.

Then, without any surprise, I got a hand full of hockey pucks.

Snow Boy's unexpected behavior left everyone on the field confused. The commentator and the audience laughed happily together. The cameraman also dutifully gave the ice hockey a close-up - not to mention, Snow Boy made it happen.

The ice ball is horribly round, even rounder than anything Xiaoye could draw in an hour.

After a lot of people are knocked back, the game always starts again.

After the referee's flag was waved, the long-tailed monster reluctantly put down the slippery little ice ball and rushed towards Snow Boy. The orange fighting energy had already wrapped around its tail. Snow Boy still looked confused and blinked his eyes.

He stood there, as if he didn't know what to do.

During the special training to prepare for the Quartz Alliance, Xiaoye did not ask Yukidouji to participate in actual combat that he did not like. Yukidouzi only strengthened his physical fitness through a lot of exercise and learned two defensive moves under Xiaoye's guidance. It

It is not good at attacking at all. It has not even learned the ice-type signature freezing beam, and its combat experience is almost zero. Xiaoye originally did not consider sending it to compete, but perhaps due to its strong curiosity, the little snow boy was not interested in training.

The contest that I and my fellow Pokémon frequently mentioned was full of inquiry, and I volunteered to give it a try.

Faced with the little guy's longing eyes, Xiaoye naturally couldn't say no. Although Yukidouzi is not good at fighting, the Quartz League Competition is not a struggle for survival in the jungle. The fighting method is much gentler, as long as the opponent is not a very difficult strong person.

, it is completely possible for Yukidouji to appear on the stage and experience the atmosphere of a competition. With Charizard as a general in charge, Xiaoye does not have to worry about winning or losing at all.

For Yukidouji, who has never fought before, the most appropriate instruction is undoubtedly——

"Snow Boy, start running."

When the ignorant Yukidouzi heard Xiaoye's voice, he immediately started running as if he had found his backbone. The long-tailed monster's brick-breaking move had already been brewing for most of its power, but he was depressed to find that the opponent could run faster than Rattata.

It ran with all its strength but couldn't catch up with Snow Boy.

"Long-tailed monster, moving at high speed!"

As soon as the accelerating move was activated, the long-tailed monster's hands and feet were filled with wind, and it sprinted and jumped through the jungle at a speed of 100%, as if its feet were not stepping on smooth ice, but the grass it was most accustomed to.

However... I still can't catch up.

Under Dahui's instructions, the long-tailed monster changed several moves. The shadow ball was thrown out, but it missed; the high-speed movement coupled with Yan Hui's sprint made it impossible to catch up; the high-speed star that was sure to hit was fired, and even the stars were unscientifically

He was far behind. Looking at the snow boy running around the field as if he was running a marathon, the long-tailed monster was completely dumbfounded.

Snow Boy was born in a snowy mountain area, and the ice surface is the most comfortable place for it. Although... Xiaoye didn't expect it to run so steadily and for a long time. Maybe it was because she and Pichu played on the running wheel all day long a while ago, so it got the training.

I think I have the leg strength of a marathon runner...

"Snow boy, use the freezing wind to counterattack."

Xiao Ye tried to let Snow Boy take the initiative to attack. The little guy quickly stopped and stood still, spraying low-temperature airflow mixed with ice particles at the long-tailed monster chasing behind him.

The long-tailed monster that was immersed in sprinting had no time to turn and rushed straight into the attack range of the freezing wind. It immediately shuddered and its movements became stiff.

If there was a fighting expert like Charizard present, he would immediately pursue the victory and increase his firepower. However, when Yukidouzi saw the trembling appearance of the long-tailed monster's hands, he hesitated and stopped the attack, with unbearable expression on his little face.

color.

The long-tailed monster who had managed to break through the freezing wind in a daze was still a little puzzled. Seeing that the snow boy finally stopped, he immediately jumped forward with great joy, his tail clenched into a fist, orange light shining, and the energy value of breaking tiles.

It even hit a record high. Seeing that the fist was about to hit Yukidouzi's face, Xiaoye quickly added "keep running", and Yukidouzi just woke up from a dream, turned around and started running lifelessly again.

The long-tailed monster's powerful punch only hit the ice. Looking at the snow boy running further and further away, the unlucky long-tailed monster's eyes filled with tears, feeling that he was about to be overwhelmed by despair.

Also, how long will I have to pursue?

Due to Yukidouji's strange "fighting style", the battle fell into a very strange situation. The two Pokémon were chasing each other and escaping. The chasing Pokémon's moves could not hit the target, and the escaping Pokémon's attacks could not stop the opponent, so we had to

They ran around the field together, turning the battle into a marathon.

Half an hour later.

"Both sides... lost their ability to fight at the same time. It's a draw."

Looking at the two Pokémon lying on the ice, panting and exhausted, the referee raised his flag with sweat dripping from his head.

The whole place was silent.
