Pokemon Dawn

On the afternoon of June 27th, it was halfway through the final round of 16.

Judging only from the degree of attention, the afternoon game is obviously higher than the morning game. There is no other reason. The games of Kusama Keiji and Greyhound, the two most watched players in this league, will be held in the afternoon. However,

It's hard to reflect this from the appearance of the competition site - it's really because the Quartz Stadium has been packed since early morning.

The first match in the afternoon was the showdown between Keiji Kusama and Touha Aoki. The vast majority of the audience did not think that the latter, a little-known newcomer to the competition, could make any splash, and firmly believed that this match would be the number one as always.

Seed's personal show.

——Kyoji Kusama himself had the exact opposite idea.

The young man with long dark green hair walked out of the shadows and stepped onto the sunny playing field step by step. He could feel his friend's eyes flying from the other end of the distant playing field and falling heavily on him.

"Finally I'm on the same playing field with you, Kiriha." Kyoji said with a smile.

After the stadium was quiet for a moment, uproar broke out. Kyouji Sosama's words did not seem to be addressed to an opponent he had never met. Just the simple word "finally" vaguely showed the relationship between the two.

shallow.

Tongye had no time to care about the audience's surprise.

He still remembered the scene when his friend asked him to join this Quartz League. When he saw Jingji's expression, he understood what Jingji meant almost immediately. But, as expected...

"Sorry, I……"

As soon as he started speaking, the chestnut-haired boy opposite raised his hand to interrupt him, "Now we are rivals, and if we have something to say, we should express it through a battle. You will fulfill your promise, right?"

Tongye looked at the smiling face of his friend, and finally just nodded and answered briefly, "Of course."

The audience present was confused by the conversation between the two of them, and the instigators had quickly restrained their irrelevant thoughts. After the signal to start the game was sent, Kiriha, who attacked first, sent An Ladybug to lead the charge. Keiji's elf

The ball was thrown away immediately, and as the light lit up, blazing flames spurted out.

"Blow smoke!"

Before the naked eye could see the Pokémon clearly, the fire and black smoke had spread, swallowing up the ladybugs all at once. The small bug looked extremely fragile in the fire waves, but it was not majestic.

Moving, the air flew around the body and condensed into a shield of wind, blocking the flames.

Under the instructions of the trainer, Ladybug An suddenly rushed forward while riding the wind, almost directly touching the opponent's Pokémon's face, and then turned around lightly, drawing an irregular arc.

The bulky Pokémon with two craters on its back couldn't keep up with Ladybug An's movements and could only spin in circles. But Kyoji keenly caught the scene of Ladybug An's fists glowing and immediately said, "The power of the earth!"

The volcanic crater on the back of the fire-breathing hunchback no longer spewed heat waves, and the earthy yellow light wrapped in the soil and gravel rose from all directions. An Ladybug's fist hit the earth wall very quickly, and the scattered ripples spread out

Come on - just as Kyoji expected, that's not a sonic punch, but a supersonic wave disguised as a sonic punch.

Before becoming the disciple of Master Rika, Kyoji traveled with Kiriha in the Hoenn area for a period of time, so he knew Kiriha's fighting style very well. He knew that Kiriha relied more on controlling the opponent with special states than attacking.

, there may be a trap hidden under every seemingly ordinary move. In the eyes of ordinary people, An Ladybug's disguise of ultrasound may be enough to look fake, but Kyoji has long been able to see through such a disguise at a glance.

After resisting the ultrasonic attack, the earthen wall collapsed automatically. Ladybug An did not take advantage of the situation to pursue, but circled near and far to avoid the fire-breathing camel's flames. Kyoji did not care about the opponent's fighting style at all.

Negatively, he said calmly, "Rock collapse, the power of the earth!"

While sharp rocks fell from the sky, the soil also turned into thorns and protruded upward. The upward and downward attack was like the teeth of a beast, precise and full of coldness.

An Ladybug struggled to dodge between the attacks of the two moves, but even if she used her dexterity and speed to the limit, she still couldn't escape the bite of the rock beast. After a brief stalemate, Tongye seemed

She whispered something, and her voice was covered by the roar of falling rocks. After receiving the instruction, Ladybird An stopped and no longer fled in panic, but rushed straight towards the fire-breathing camel, and her fists also burst out with bright fire.

Orange light.

——To be honest, such an aggressive attitude is not in line with Kiriha's usual style. Jingji knows that his friend does not like fighting, whether it is on the field or in the wild. In the spirit of thinking about his friends

, it seems that he should not invite such a person who only wants to be a breeder to participate in the "fight and kill" competition.

However, what he wanted to say could only be conveyed through fighting.

The rock beast chased after An Ladybug, blocking the way back. The fire-breathing camel knew that An Ladybug could throw a heavy punch that was not suitable for its small body, so it gathered enough strength and slammed into it.

The two sides were separated at the first touch. Ladybug An was knocked far away and seemed to be completely unable to match the strength of her opponent. However, the fire-breathing camel and Kyoji immediately realized that something was wrong - Ladybug An clearly flew out on her own, and the spray was

The fire camel's attack power didn't even have time to fall on Ladybug An.

The slender ladybug bounced off like lightning, and the shining fighting-type energy in its fists had switched to the light yellow color of the insect-type. It bypassed the rock avalanche and the force of the earth at an astonishing speed, and crashed straight into the trainer's body.

In his arms, another elf ball flew out at the same time as Ladybug An disappeared, and the clear boy's voice also followed, "Play with water!"

A majestic water curtain emerged from the sky. If the trainer hadn't clearly said the word "playing with water", the scene in front of him would have been recognized as another move called Tidal Wave. The water splashed down in a spiral shape,

The fire-breathing camel that bore the brunt of the attack was immediately doused on its face, and the fire energy that was waiting to explode in the crater on its back also cooled down. Looking forward, Ladybug An's figure was no longer there, replaced by a figure with gorgeous wings.

The white bug Pokémon.

The moment he saw the Rainwing Moth appear, Kyoji immediately understood Kiriha's intention. He had no intention of letting An Ladybug fight the fire-breathing camel, which was good at fire attacks and had rough skin and flesh. All the previous confrontations were just delays.

Time, only the final rapid turnaround is the first link in the strategy.

In order to prevent players from frequently exchanging Pokémon and causing negative competition, most official competitions stipulate that players are not allowed to actively exchange Pokémon within thirty seconds after sending out Pokémon. Under the offensive of the fire-breathing camel, the player delayed for thirty seconds to fight against Tongye.

It's not that difficult.

If the battle situation is unfavorable, choose to exchange, and delay for thirty seconds before time is up. Compared with regional league competitions, this approach will appear more in more professional competitions. Only Kiriha will do it in both formal and informal situations.

Played so "cautiously and cautiously".

With his mind racing, Jingji ordered again, "Rock collapse."

When the heavy rain of rocks fell, Tongye frowned slightly. Playing with water reduced the power of fire-type moves, so he switched to rock-type attacks. This logic seemed correct, but it was unavoidable for Kyoji.

It was too simple - especially when Kyoji already knew that such an attack would not be able to do anything to the Rainwing Moth.

In terms of maneuverability, the rainwing moth is superior to the ladybug. It flaps its brightly colored wings and easily dodges rocks falling from the sky.

"Shadow clone, bubble light."

The Rainwing Moth spun nimbly in the rock rainstorm, its body transformed into four, four and eight. Countless translucent bubbles spread together with the shadow clones, filling the entire arena in just a few seconds.

The fire-breathing camel cautiously stopped its attack. The crystal bubbles reflected the dazzling midsummer sunshine, occupying every place in the fire-breathing camel's field of vision with a riot of colors. Even the auditorium not far away was refracted to pieces by the water bubbles. The fire-breathing camel

The camel seemed to be in a huge kaleidoscope, with no trace of the Rainwing Moth to be found.

Before it could recover from its daze, sharp air flow flew out of a ball of foam and struck it on the back.

One move of air slash could not bring much damage to the fire-breathing camel. It turned around suddenly, but only caught a little bit of the color of the rain-wing moth's wings reflected by the foam. And the continuous air slash kept flying from other angles.

Now, the fire-breathing camel can only feel the pain of the sharp blade cutting, and cannot capture the opponent's position at all.

When the audience exclaimed, Jingji was not very surprised. Among the various tactics Kiriha had used, this was not the most difficult to resist, just because the bubble light spread exponentially through the power of the shadow clone, and at the extreme

Blocking the opponent's vision in a short period of time is a certain threat. However, such a layout usually comes and goes quickly, and the fragile bubble cannot withstand a strong blow.

Under the instructions of the trainer to "spray flames", the fire-breathing camel's flame column swept across, and the bubbles disappeared in pieces like black characters erased on a white paper. However, the moment the flames and water bubbles connected,

When a large amount of water vapor rose and the vast whiteness swallowed up everything in his field of vision, Jingji suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The foam light does not contain much water, and even if it collides with the flame, it is impossible to generate so much steam, unless Kiriha deliberately manipulates it. And the experience of fighting Kiriha many times tells Kyoji that when his vision is blocked by Kiriha,

When Ye briefly captured it, it must have been the most critical moment, and he immediately issued the "Power of the Earth" instruction.

Solid earth walls rose from all directions, completely surrounding the fire-breathing camel. Even the top of the head was covered by the earth wall - since the line of sight was already blocked by the white mist, nothing would be lost if the blockage was more thorough. If the Rain Wings

The moth's attack hit the earth wall, and the fire-breathing camel, which controlled the power of the earth, could immediately determine the opponent's direction and counterattack.

And the next moment, everything that happened on the field still broke all of Kyoji's predictions.

Before the fire-breathing camel took measures to disperse the water vapor, the rain-winged moth first made an incredible move. The glittering scale powder mixed into the wind, carrying the water vapor straight into the sky. The thick fog was dispersed, and Beijing

Ji subconsciously covered his face with his arms, and a silver whirlwind flowed out from the gap between his fingers into the sky.

That whirlwind seemed to have been mixed with too much scale powder, and it seemed to have absorbed water vapor. The air flow that should have been transparent was completely dyed milk-like white. Before Kyoji could figure out what this meant, the roaring giant

The sound has reached my ears.

The solid earth wall suddenly collapsed like a castle that had been ripped out of its foundation, stirring up a cloud of smoke and dust. Amidst the impact of earth and sand, the whine of the fire-breathing camel reached the trainer's ears particularly sharply.

====================

small theater:

Keiji: (solemnly) I’m finally on the same playing field with you, Kiriha.

Tongye: (Guilty) I'm sorry. I..."

Kyōji: (deeply) We are rivals now, and if we have something to say, we should express it through a battle. You will fulfill your promise, right?

Audience: Wait, the amount of information is too much. Can you explain what happened before the game? How does this make people watch the game? (I am so curious that I am furious)
