No.346 Winning and losing is always the heart of 'fish and water'

For novice trainers, using the move machine is an important way for them to enrich their Pokémon's move pool. Academic trainers with solid basic knowledge especially rely on the move machine, and they will carefully consider the Pokémon's ability to attack different attributes.

, choose the most suitable discs so that they can respond to different situations in a short time.

Xiaoye, who was impoverished, naturally never used the move machine for her Pokémon - instead, she sold all the gym battle reward discs in order to feed her family. It wasn't until the eve of the semi-finals that she finally made the first move for her Pokémon.

Charizard uses a move machine instead.

Stand-in - this is the move that Xiaoye chose after thinking for a long time. The friendly store in the contestant village has discounts for contestants, and the meager two thousand elf coins in Xiaoye's card can support the consumption of CDs.

Fortunately, Quartz League bonuses are always distributed within three days after the end of the game, otherwise Xiaoye would have to think about how to pay off the debt in the last month with a miserable three-digit savings.

The moves learned directly from the CD are only "can be used". Without systematic training, the mastery and proficiency of the moves are terrible. Charizard's understanding of new moves has always been so-so, and there is no way to use this unfamiliar move flexibly.

, the separated avatar not only had its attack power greatly reduced, but even its flying posture became crooked.

——And this will not hinder Xiaoye's plan. From the beginning, she did not expect Charizard's stand-in to fight head-on like Xiaotian's Shakiras.

The first time Charizard dived underground to avoid a rock slide, he used a stand-in. The main body quickly took off and continued to fight the flames, while the stand-in stayed underground and began digging holes in an uninterrupted environment.

For a Pokémon that has mastered the burrowing move since it was a baby Charmander, even an inflexible Stand can easily shuttle through the soft soil of the arena. The pre-rehearsed caves are evenly distributed near the center of the arena.

They are connected to each other underground, forming a huge network that runs through the stadium.

When the energy of the Fire Oath was injected into the ground, the flames broke through the thin soil covering the entrance of the cave, exposing the formed cave to everyone.

The subsequent "flame whack-a-mole" was just a way to disrupt Xiaotian's concentration. Xiaoye knew that such tactics would at most frustrate Xiaotian temporarily, and he would come up with a solution within half a minute. The purpose of all actions was to "

"Introducing Yan into the ground" - and the moment when Yan uses earthquake is the best time.

The stand-in hidden underground successfully completed its mission. When Yan was tricked out of his guard and dragged unconsciously underground, Charizard finally launched the last part of his strategy.

The flame vortex connected with the light pillar of the Fire Oath, and the overheating completely ignited the violent fire attribute energy. Amid the sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking, nearly half of the battlefield area suddenly collapsed, and all the rolling earth, sand and gravel turned into

Ammunition erupted from the "Underground Flame Vortex".

It was as loud as a natural disaster. The automatic defense devices in the entire venue erected a bright wall of light at the same time, and the speakers made an unbearable sharp sound, and this "a trace" of noise was immediately swallowed up by the huge explosion.

This is the all-out attack between Xiaoye and Charizard - specially prepared for Xiaotian, the opponent, and the grandest "fireworks" in the entire game.

After a while, the fire gradually died down and the shaking subsided.

After the smoke and dust dissipated, all the spectators were silenced by the scene that reappeared in their field of vision - with the center of the battle field as the center, the originally flat ground had turned into a huge pothole cutting off the middle of the field.

The scarred Charizard hovered in the air, blood dripping down its wings into the soil, hissing like hot oil.

Even the fire-breathing dragon in the air could not completely avoid the impact of such a violent explosion, but it could no longer feel the pain. The blazing flames still refused to extinguish and burned in its chest, making its sight go straight.

He stared at the bottom of the huge pit, unable to move an inch.

After a few seconds, the bottom of the pit filled with gravel and sand began to tremble slightly.

The Flame Dragon that struggled to get out of it had long lost its majesty at the beginning. Like the Charizard, it was covered in scars and breathing rapidly, as if it would fall to the ground with just a slight push.

However, when it raised its head, Charizard found that its usually calm eyes were unusually bright and bright like a ball of flame.

There seemed to be some intense emotion that pierced the heart of the fire-breathing dragon. The next moment, red flames rose from the soles of the two fire-breathing dragons at the same time.

Fierce fire is activated when the physical strength is close to the limit, giving the Pokémon the power to fight to the death. At the moment when the fire completely enveloped the body, they rushed towards each other at the same time.

The narrator breathed lightly and silently watched everything that happened in front of him.

The two Pokémon that were fighting were already on the verge of collapse. Large-scale tactics were no longer possible. Even Charizard, who had excess physical strength, could no longer spread the flames of the Fire Pledge across the entire field. However, their courage did not weaken at all, and fists and kicks were exchanged.

The sound of the collision was like a drum beating, and the sound resounded in the minds of the audience.

"Big characters burst into flames."

Charizard releases explosive fire from all directions, hitting the opponent's face directly.

"Dragon Claw——"

"Fire Fist!"

The blue dragon claws shredded the flames, while the fire-breathing dragon's fists ignited the flames at just the right time, firmly holding back the attack of flames.

As if the temperature of fire could be contagious, something more intense echoed in Xiaoye's mind that should have remained absolutely calm. She stared at Charizard through the flying sparks, and vaguely felt that the corner of her mouth was also in contact with that Pokémon.

They rose together.

The shimmering silver tail hit Yan's abdomen. It withstood the blow without saying a word, and moved forward instead of retreating, grabbing the tip of the fire-breathing dragon's tail with its sharp dragon claws.

"Thunder Fist."

"Splash of flames."

The dazzling electric light lit up from the tip of Yan's claws and flowed straight into Charizard's body along its tail. The numbing pain made Charizard even more excited. It endured the damage of the electric shock and spit out fireballs, hitting the opponent's neck.

Yan took advantage of the situation and retreated a few meters. When the fire at the tip of his tail was bright, the fire-breathing dragon also took a deep breath.

"—Spray flames!"

The same command came from completely different directions. The blazing flame beams collided together, and the roar of the dragon was mixed with the explosion of sparks, like the drumbeats being hammered hard in the symphony.

The silver-haired boy's spirit was more concentrated than ever before. All the noisy sounds and trivial images had faded away, and only the stadium was vividly reflected in his eyes. He felt that his body and soul were longing for flames and impact.

.At a certain moment, there was a thought that really looked forward to-this battle could last forever.

The fire-breathing dragon's physical strength has reached its limit, and even the things in front of it have become blurred. It let itself pour out all its power wantonly, and the golden-red fire flowed out of the body for the last time.

Yan, who had always been calm, rarely let out an equally passionate roar, and the flames at the tip of his tail lit up the ice-blue eyes of the young man behind him.

As the saying goes, if a fish has a heart to be close to water, the water will also have a heart to respond to it——

This is my response to you.

"overheat--"

"Explode and burn!"

The blazing flames met in one place, like souls colliding with each other, and once again swallowed everyone's vision with dazzling red.

After a while, the hot wind dissipated.

The exhaustion of physical strength caused Charizard's brain to fall into a daze.

It could barely open its eyes. It didn't know how long it had been since it sent out a full blow, and it couldn't figure out where it was. The scarred body swayed and fell limp, but when it was about to touch the soil, it was struck by another man of the same color.

The double dragon claws hold it firmly.

The familiar breath made it close its eyes with peace of mind, give all its weight to the other person, and let the last hazy sound pass by its ears.

"This is the end of the first semi-final match of the 381st Quartz League! The winner, Qianfan——"

The referee's loud announcement made Xiao Ye feel dazed for a moment. She blinked her eyes and looked up at the clear midsummer sky, as if she had just realized that today was a beautiful day with a bright sun.

...It’s over.

She lowered her eyes and smiled to herself. The unconscious Charizard returned to the ball along the red light, and then its trainer stepped out of the command seat.

The battle field has been completely destroyed by the explosive little expert Charizard, and the white line in the center has long been buried in the ruins and disappeared. In order to avoid the crater-like terrain, the two players had to temporarily change the place where they shook hands after the game.

Sideline.

"Thank you for satisfying Charizard's willful request." Xiaoye bent her eyes and thanked the person walking towards her. "You are really strong. We are convinced that we lost this game."

The silver-haired boy shook his head, "I just started early."

Since they met a year ago, Xiaoye has never seen Xiaotian proud of his victory. He seems to clearly understand the reasons for his victory and his shortcomings. He will never be shaken by external things and remains firm.

Let yourself grow - and this is what Xiaoye admires most about him.

"——So, did I pass this strength test, Captain?"

Xiaotian was startled by the sudden change of title. He looked at the person opposite him with helpless eyes, raised his eyebrows and gave the answer, "Of course, you are a formidable opponent."

Xiaoye then nodded reassuringly - it seemed that the ugly score of three to six was still within Xiaotian's tolerance, which was really surprising. In any case, the time when Dabi bird spread its wings on the verge of being expelled was considered a farewell.

It’s a paragraph, I’m happy.jpg.

Xiaotian couldn't guess what Xiaoye was thinking, and immediately shook his head helplessly.

Then, the boy took a step closer, his light-colored pupils behind his sunglasses reflecting a serious luster.

"But it's not enough. Neither you nor I are enough."

He stretched out his hand to the girl.

"——Let's move forward together."

The person who was smiling before seemed to be stunned for a moment. However, she quickly hid her inappropriate thoughts and held the other person's hand.

She could feel the young man's solemn determination. It was inherited from his father's generation and combined with the power of his own beliefs. From the past to the present, it has always pushed Xiaotian to move forward without confusion.

But those who accepted the invitation - they chose this path for completely different things a year ago when they saw that text on the electronic screen. This is just a rational choice directed towards the goal.

It's cold and straightforward, with no trace of brilliance in it.

If the "plan" really succeeds...

Her thoughts were wrapped in guilt and subtle hesitation and sank into chaos. She heard herself answering with a smile in the same tone as before -

"It's my pleasure."
