Pokemon Dawn

June 28, early morning.

"Welcome to the Quartz Stadium. There are still ten minutes before the start of the quarterfinals. Let me first introduce the special guests of this Quartz League!" As the commentator finished his words, the camera turned to him.

.When the smiling face of the red-haired young man appeared on the big screen, the cheers almost overturned the stadium.

"——Dragon King, cross!"

According to the practice of the Quartz League, the organizer will invite one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto as a special commentator during every quarterfinals. Last year, Ice King Kona made an appearance, and this year it is the most popular Ryūten King of Kanto.

Although people in Kanto are used to referring to Watari as the "King of Heaven", in fact, Watari also participated in the Heavenly King Championship qualifying competition in the Johto area and won the title of champion. This stunning and beautiful Dragon Messenger was admired by countless young people.

It is so popular that some viewers even spent a lot of money to buy tickets for the quarter-finals just to see the ferry once.

Watari smiled and said hello to the camera, which unsurprisingly triggered another howl. The commentator next to him finally got the audience to quiet down, and teased very cooperatively, "It seems that everyone wants to hear it more than me.

Is the voice of Dragon Heavenly King correct? Well, Mr. Du, today I am going to be lazy openly, so I would like to trouble you to say a few more words."

The red-haired young man took the words knowingly and said with a smile, "I am honored to come to the Quartz League as a commentator for the second time. I look forward to the outstanding performance of the players. As for the proposal you just made, senior," Watanabe looked at the person next to him.

A middle-aged man who often serves as commentator for important games made a little joke, "I will seriously consider it - if the organizer agrees to calculate my salary based on the number of words."

Amid the laughter of the audience, the commentator added, "The top three in this league competition will still receive three mysterious prizes personally selected by the special guest Mr. Du. I hope all the players will work hard and win with honor."

Let’s sprint for the prize!”

Due to the commentator's "honest laziness", a few minutes later, Long Tianwangdu had to announce in person that "the quarter-finals have officially begun, and the contestants are invited to enter."

She felt that if the audience continued to maintain this volume, she might not even be able to hear her opponent's instructions.

Different from the round of 16 games, since there is no off-day to adjust the state and arrange tactics, the players can only seize the time to train at night and before the next day's game. Therefore, the players who were neatly sitting in the audience watching the game yesterday

Most of them were making final adjustments at the training ground. Only Xiaojie, who had already been eliminated early, took Yangzhen and sat in the front row, preparing to enjoy the game wholeheartedly with Xinghai and Yuanzheng, two idle adults.

As for why she went out to fight at eight o'clock in the morning again...

Xiao Ye has given up thinking.

It was rainy and gloomy in Mihara City today, but due to the deliberate intervention of the organizer's weather controller, the weather around the Quartz Stadium was still sunny and good. Through the scorching midsummer sunlight, Xiaoye saw her opponent also stepping onto the stadium.

The boy with short blue hair was still wearing a neat white kimono, as if he could not feel the summer heat at all. His expression was serious and solemn, like a samurai about to go to war, and anyone who looked at those golden eyes could feel it.

The young man’s awe-inspiring fighting spirit.

Watanabe and the commentator introduced the basic information of the two players on the red and green sides one by one, while the two people standing on the command seat had completely eliminated the interference from the outside noise and poured all their attention into the four cores.

In the arena enclosed by white lines.

The initiative wheel slowly rotated, pointing in Xiaoye's direction.

"Gyarados."

As early as last night, Xiaoye and the Pokémon had decided on the leader of the first attack. The light flashed and the dark blue water dragon roared, obviously unable to restrain the desire to fight to the fullest.

On the other side, Bai Lan also quickly sent out his vanguard. The Pokémon wearing a steel helmet showed its gleaming blade, and locked Gyarados with its bloodshot eyes.

It was the Cleaver Commander that Bai Lan had used in the first round of the battle. Xiaoye was particularly impressed by the match between Bai Lan and Xia Yang Takuma. She knew that the Cleaver Commander with a damaged blade on its head seemed to be not very clear-headed.

, there are only a few moves that can be used, but its attack ability is still powerful, just like an extremely sharp steel knife, which is as terrifying as it is.

Obviously, for a rampaging guy like Commander Cleaver, a large Pokémon is easier to deal with than a small and agile one. Realizing that Gyarados has no advantage in either attributes or fighting style, Xiaoye thought about it,

While turning his gaze towards Gyarados.

The signal for the start of the game was sent. When the referee waved the colorful flag, Xiaoye was suddenly stunned.

She noticed something was wrong with Gyarados's state.

Gyarados has always been a full-fledged militant. The ferocious temperament in its bones makes it more enthusiastic about fighting than Charizard. Whenever it is sent out in a battle, it will eagerly lean forward, as if it must be ready before the trainer gives instructions at any time.

It's like jumping on it. However, now its appearance is as stiff as if it has been hit by electromagnetic waves, and its wide-open, ferocious eyes are full of surprise mixed with anger, and...

sad?

After Bailan gave a brief attack command, Commander Cleaver rushed towards him like a bloodthirsty beast. Xiaoye had no time to discern the expression of Gyarados and immediately gave the "surf" command.

When the voice fell, Gyarados showed no reaction.

The crisp collision sound of gold and iron was heard, and the unreserved thrust of Commander Cleaver was poured into Gyarados. Cracks immediately appeared on the hard scales, and dark red blood seeped out. Gyarados seemed to have just

He howled as if he had regained his senses, and the slowed-down surf spread out randomly and flooded half of the venue.

Commander Cleaver landed with a crash, and the water waves immediately submerged most of its body. But this could not stop it in the slightest. The Pokémon wearing a steel helmet still moved like thunder, and the sharp blade on its head cut through the water waves, and struck again head-on.

Hit in the torso of the dark blue water dragon.

The scales on Gyarados' abdomen were far softer than other parts, and the heartbreaking pain came, awakening the memories buried in its mind many years ago.

When it realized that it had been beaten badly by that familiar Pokémon, Gyarados seemed to have turned back into the weak and unevolved Magikarp. Panic flooded through its heart like a tide, making it even forget about its strength.

The enemy turned around subconsciously.

In a daze, Gyarados thought he would see the back of a trainer who turned his back to the battlefield and held his head, "abandoning" him alone on the battlefield. However, when the dark phantom in his memory became a reality, it first

He met those familiar eyes behind his sunglasses.

The battle had just started for only ten seconds, and the enemy was unscathed and was chasing the injured Gyarados. In such a one-sided situation, the young girl remained as calm as ever, noticing that Gyarados was looking at him.

When I came over, I even smiled at it.

That overly calm smile gave Gyarados a jolt. The mixed emotions of anger and fear faded away like extinguished flames, and his brain suddenly became clear.

yes……

She is not him.

The eyes of the trainer and the Pokémon only met for a brief moment. Bailan seemed to notice something strange about his opponent, but he just raised his eyebrows without any intention of holding back. The figure of the commander was like an arrow, and the third

The next slash was about to land on Gyarados.

Looking at Gyarados' clear eyes, Xiaoye put down her hand on the Poké Ball around her waist and said with a smile, "Shadow clone."

When the first word of Xiaoye's instructions was spoken, Gyarados moved. Countless lights and shadows flew out of its body, turning into a dazzling dark blue water dragon. Bai Lan reacted very quickly and immediately ordered the commander to be chopped.

"Making up a wave of water", the water that had receded below the knees flew up with the rapid rotation of Commander Zhan. The scale of the waves was not large, but it just covered all the real and fake Gyarados.

The false shadow disappeared instantly, leaving only the only real Gyarados. Commander Cleaver rushed towards the opponent again, and the shadow clone couldn't even hold it back for five seconds - if you don't count the difference between the two

If the distance suddenly widens.

When the water wave shattered the shadow clone, Xiaoye's instructions also arrived.

"Surf, storm."

If there were no accidents at the beginning of the game, this should have been the first order prepared by Xiao Ye - Gyarados roared loudly, and the water waves that covered the sky were like natural disasters, with Gyarados at the center.

It spread unreasonably and explosively to the surroundings, instantly turning the entire battlefield into a marsh. At the same time, violent storms stirred the sea water, and countless disorderly large and small whirlpools filled every corner of the field of vision.

Whether it is the forward surf or the rotating tidal wave, it is completely different from the scene in front of you. The water surface covering the entire site was chaotic by the storm, and the rapid currents and overlapping whirlpools were entangled together, just like the sea in a storm.

The sound of extremely dangerous waves resounded.

The resistance caused by ordinary water waves could not stop Commander Cleaver's charge. But when Gyarados launched the "Stormy Sea", the running Commander Cleaver suddenly swayed and fell to the ground.

After watching the battle video between Bailan and Takuma, Xiaoye thought about how to deal with this Slash Commander. Its physical fitness was almost overwhelmingly stronger than all of Xiaoye's Pokémon, and it could cause damage just by relying on its physical strength.

Huge damage. The resistance in one direction has little effect on Commander Cleaver. Even the several meters deep pool of water in the water battle site cannot stop Commander Cleaver from jumping with all his strength.

While it is good at rampaging, its flexibility and maneuverability are naturally much weaker. So, what if the resistance is not in one direction, but changes direction all the time, making it so complicated that it is difficult for anyone to predict?

Relying on the ability to control water flow and storm moves acquired through training in the sea, Gyarados fulfilled Xiao Ye's request.

The huge waves driven by the surfing moves still slowly rotate around Gyarados, while the unruly storm stirs the water into chaos, and even Gyarados himself doesn't know where they will surge at the next moment.

The moment Commander Pi Zhan fell down unprepared, the firepower of the storm covered him head and face. Commander Pi Zhan, who was located in the "eye of the typhoon", had not had time to feel the blow of the wind, but the water flow had already been swept up, and Commander Pi Zhan was swept up.

Spin and throw hard into the air.

The figure of Gyarados suddenly submerged into the water. It flew quickly among the rolling dark blue waves, like a giant dragon swimming freely in the sea of ​​storms, and its hard big horns slammed into Commander Cleaver who was entangled in the waterspout.

The next moment, the powerful dragon's tail was slapped, and a deafening sound of impact resounded throughout the audience. The Pokémon wearing a steel helmet's vision went dark, and its heavy body was slapped into the water, and the dark red color of steel quickly disappeared into the snow-white water.

Among the droplets.

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

small theater:

Referee: The familiar temperature spread over the soles of my feet and then over my ankles; the familiar touch engulfed my knees and then my thighs. At this moment, I recalled the same feeling in the first round of the past.

The magnificent scene, and the despair of having to stand in soaked clothes for a whole morning, and this "moist" figure will be spread to thousands of households by faithful electronic signals...
