Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

As the sea spiny dragon exerted its force, the vortex continued to stir, and the vines composed of parasitic seeds were gradually pulled apart by the force of the water flow, turning into useless fragments.

But Tetsuya's intention was also achieved. While the Sea Spiny Dragon was creating tidal whirlpools to crack the parasitic seeds, the Ivy Snake had already used its growth skills to successfully improve its physical and energy attack capabilities.

Spirits like Sea Thorn Dragon are very poor at mastering the skills to increase or decrease the status of their opponents.

Therefore, even if Tetsuya's behavior exposed the hidden characteristic of the Ivy Snake, which is that it is single and lush and does not sing the opposite, there is no way for Lang to make arrangements to deal with this.

The field has returned to the way it was at the beginning of the battle, except that the Ivy Snake is still ahead with the enhancement of a buff skill.

"Shadow clone."

It was still Tetsuya who took the lead in launching the attack. He didn't like to follow the opponent's rhythm with his backhand attack, especially when the level of the Sea Thorn Dragon on the opposite side was higher than that of the Ivy Snake.

The Vine Whip and Little Feet were used alternately, and eight Ivy Snakes including the main body appeared on the field.

After more than three weeks of practice after the change in mentality, Ivy Snake has almost reached the best state it could achieve before evolving. The number of shadows produced by each shadow clone is basically stable at around seven or eight.

.

If you want to increase the number, it cannot be achieved in the form of Ivy Snake.

After all, to put it bluntly, the Ivy Snake is not yet mature. It is still in its second form and can only be regarded as a young girl. Its speed is also limited.

In other words, even if it can do it, it means that it suppresses its own evolution and loses more than it gains.

Lang narrowed his eyes and said, "Water gun."

The sea spiny dragon popped up from the depths of the pool in an instant, cleaning up the eight ivy snakes one by one from left to right.

It is also different from ordinary water elves in using water guns. The reason lies in its long, triangular prism-shaped mouth.

This is like a natural firearm structure, and it truly matches the water gun skill, making the water gun used by the Sea Spiny Dragon more penetrating and faster than the water guns used by other elves.

If the burst speed of other water guns is "bang-bang-", then the speed of the water gun used by Sea Spiny Dragon is "biubiubiu".

Water jets like bullets were shot at the Ivy Snake one after another, with considerable accuracy and power.

"Vine Whip, grab it." Zheya didn't pay attention to the water gun attack of the Sea Spiny Dragon.

Under the attribute restraint, the damage caused by the charged water gun to the Ivy Snake is not high. Even if it has an advantage in level, it can withstand more than a dozen shots without any problem, let alone this continuous shot mode.

Under the attack of the sea spiny dragon, only four of the Ivy Snakes moved in unison. Two vines stretched out from both sides of the body, and they quickly attacked the sea spiny dragon that surfaced from mid-air.

The purpose of the shadow clone is also to seduce Sea Thorn Dragon Izuku. In a battle where victory is not the main purpose, neither Ivy Snake nor Tetsuya hopes to win through the referee's announcement.

Even though without their seduction, the Sea Thorn Dragon would definitely surface to attack in order to win, but at that time the initiative would not be on the side of the Ivy Snake.

"Snapped."

On the way the vine whip bound the Sea Thorn Dragon, the Sea Thorn Dragon defeated two more Ivy Snakes, but they were still shadow clones, not the original body.

The four vines undoubtedly restricted the movement of the Sea Thorn Dragon. Although the power transmitted clearly let the Sea Thorn Dragon know that only two of them were entities, but under the layers of restraint, it was difficult to clearly distinguish them for a while.

Which two come out?

The use of the water gun was also suspended by the sea spiny dragon because the vine whip blocked its mouth.

"Leap up."

Lang issued a seemingly strange order.

The leaping skill can be said to be the most useless skill. The representative elf who masters this skill is called Magikarp.

This is the strange skill introduced in the illustrated book, "You don't even attack, you just jump up and down, nothing happens...".

But the conclusion is still the same, there are no useless skills, it just depends on how the trainer and the elves use them.

Moreover, Sea Spiny Dragon and Magikarp are not elves of the same species after all.

While Izuku's upper body was completely restrained by the vine whip, the powerful curled tail of the sea spiny dragon slapped hard underwater.

The next moment, the entire body of Sea Spiny Dragon rushed into the air.

"despair!"

The Ivy Snake exclaimed, and the only remaining shadow clone was immediately shattered, and its true body was dragged by its powerful power because of the vines that wrapped around the Sea Thorn Dragon's body and connected it to itself.

It is definitely unrealistic to compare the strength of the Ivy Snake and the Sea Thorn Dragon. The former is not a muscular elf at all.

"Use the strength to fly over, and then beat him." Zheye commanded.

Since you can't compete with it in terms of strength, just borrow strength.

Upon hearing this, the Ivy Snake immediately stopped resisting and even kicked off its feet, rushing forward towards the Sea Thorn Dragon in the air without retreating. Its momentum became even faster and fiercer.

The sea spiny dragon that jumped up from the pool became a support point. Using the power from the vine whip, the ivy snake quickly drew a 90-degree arc in the air and came to the head of the sea spiny dragon.

Baby, you can't fly. The Ivy Snake looked at the sea spiny dragon beneath him, his eyes full of ridicule.

Immediately afterwards, two flightless elves passed by each other up and down in the air.

The two elves at this time are like the ancient weapons of the past life, the meteor hammer, which is the type of iron chain or rope with hammers on both ends.

And the vines are the extremely hard ropes connecting them.

At first, the sea-thorn dragon used its force to pull the Ivy Snake into the air, but as the sea-thorn dragon stagnated in the air, it lost the ability to exert force again.

Instead, there is the Ivy Snake.

The ivy snake quickly formed an arc and passed over the head of the sea spiny dragon.

Just when it was about to fall to the ground, with the help of the power of the vines, the entire body of the Ivy Snake did a forward somersault.

"Ta~!"

Ivy Snake's face turned red.

The Sea Spiny Dragon, which had not yet fallen into the water, was struggling needlessly in the air, but could not exert any strength, so the Vine Snake could only use the Vine Whip to pull it over.

"Snapped"

The speed and strength of the vine whip were enough to instantly evacuate the surrounding air, making an explosive sound, and the sea spiny dragon was directly smashed to the ground, throwing up bursts of dust.

Well, it's very mathematically beautiful. When Zheye looked at this scene, the first thought that popped into his mind was this.

After all, whether it is the Ivy Snake or the Sea Thorn Dragon, the arcs drawn through the air are very smooth.

This is also thanks to the fact that the weight difference between the two is not too big.

"Energy ball."

I sighed in my heart, but Tetsuya's command was not slow at all, and he quickly let the Ivy Snake beat the water dragon hard.

Although Sea Spiny Dragon is called dragon, it also has the word "sea". On land, it is almost unable to move.

Even though it can jump up and down with its powerful tail, its mobility is only a little better than that of monsters like Magikarp and Angora on land.

Compared to the extremely flexible Ivy Snake, it is like the difference between a turtle and Sonic.

As for how to determine the position of the Sea Thorn Dragon in the smoke and dust, don't forget that the Ivy Snake's vine whip is still tied to its body.

Lang's expression changed slightly, the grass-type energy ball was extremely effective against the Sea Spiny Dragon.

The beating with the vine whip just now seemed powerful, but in fact the damage caused was not high, which meant that the center of gravity could not be adjusted properly for a while.

He calculated the time and realized that his sea spiny dragon should have recovered: "Use water cannon."

The first thing the Ivy Snake did was to retract the vine whip that it had used to confirm the opponent's position. It didn't want to be pulled over by the opponent again.

Immediately afterwards, the small mouth opened slightly, and the surrounding green light spots immediately poured in. After a while, a green light ball condensed.

The next moment, the green light ball broke away from the ivy snake and rushed towards the smoke.

It rotated rapidly in the air, and the surrounding smoke and dust were blown away by it.

Lang looked nervously at the movement in the smoke.

For the sea spiny dragon that is out of the pool environment, it still takes some time to charge up the water cannon. He is not 100% sure whether the water cannon can be used smoothly before the energy ball hits the sea spiny dragon.

But he has no other better skill choice.

The standard power of grass-type energy balls is 90. Among the skills mastered by Sea Spiny Dragon, only the standard power of water cannon is higher than it.

Skills such as turbid current and surfing have the same standard power as energy balls, but they are both surface attacks. Naturally, there is no way to completely offset energy balls that attack a little.

It's a pity, Lang sighed to himself again, it would be better if his sea spiny dragon gene concentration was higher, so that if he mastered the dragon's wave, he would have more choices in this situation.

However, the dragon-type genes in his sea-thorn dragon can only be said to be average, and the dragon-type skills he only mastered are the two most common ones, tornado and dragon breath.

A trace of determination flashed in Lang's eyes. Sure enough, he still had to get the dragon scales.

The Thorny Dragon King, who has dual attributes of water and dragon, not only has a wider attack area with his skills, but is only twice suppressed by dragons in terms of attributes (not found by fairies), and his resistance to the two common attributes of water and fire is even more exceptional.

"laugh--"

A violent water column containing a large amount of water rushed out of the smoke and collided with the flying energy ball.

There was a friction sound where the two came into contact.

The aroused air flow blew away all the smoke and dust, and the Sea Thorn Dragon, which was pushed back by the reaction force of the water cannon, also appeared in the eyes of the two people and the elf.

That is to say, on land, if it were in the water, the sea spiny dragon with its powerful propulsion would not be embarrassed even when using its skills.

"Retreat, parasitic seeds."

While Lang was staring at the center point of the skill battle, Tetsuya shouted to the Ivy Snake.

Ivy Snake understood and immediately hid on the side of a huge rock. With a flick of its tail, several green seeds flew into the air.

At the same time, the water cannon gradually overwhelmed the energy ball, and the green light became smaller and darker.

Lang was stunned to see that the other party's predicted time was so accurate.

Water cannon is different from energy balls. It is a skill that needs to be used continuously.

This is also the reason why he looks at the center point of the collision, and he wants to judge when to make the next command.

There was no way he could tell the sea spiny dragon to stop its water cannon in advance.

Even though a lot of the energy in the energy ball was consumed after the duel, the remaining damage to the sea spiny dragon was still considerable.

Immediately, Lang wanted to make the sea spiny dragon stop using the water cannon, but it was already a little late.

Under the control of the Ivy Snake, the green seeds accurately landed on the body of the Sea Thorn Dragon not far away.

Sprouting, twining, green light flashing.

This series of changes happened in an instant.

"Beep touch~"

The sea spiny dragon cried out in pain.

The parasitic seeds are not very powerful, but the feeling of having their physical strength sucked out and the entire elf being sucked dry is very uncomfortable.

Correspondingly, a green light flashed across the Ivy Snake's body, and the spirit of the entire elf became even more outstanding.

While the parasitic seeds absorb the opponent's physical strength, they will also feed back the user's physical strength.

"tornado."

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Lang planned to use his skills to interfere with the Ivy Snake first, and also used the centrifugal force of the tornado to throw the parasitic seeds away from the Sea Spined Dragon.

This is probably the sorrow of the elf without hands.

"Sunbeam."

Zheye had a smile on his face, "It's very good, just as expected. It's not the optimal solution, but it's enough."

Lang's expression changed again and again, but the sea spiny dragon had already started its rotation, and a gray tornado was also taking shape in the field.

Faintly, green objects can be seen flashing inside.

It seems that Lang's goals were not all achieved, at least the parasitic seeds were successfully thrown away.

The ivy snake gathers the sunlight leisurely.

Normally, there would not be such a good opportunity for it to fully charge this skill, but it is different now.

While the sea spiny dragon creates a tornado to hide its figure, it also brings hidden dangers, that is, it is very easy to lock on when it is in the eye of the storm, and it cannot attack as a team on its own.

Under the protection of the tornado, there are few skills that can break through, not even water cannons, but the grass-type ultimate move Sun Beam is definitely not within this range.

"boom"

After accumulating for nearly 5 seconds, a dazzling beam of light suddenly rushed towards the center of the tornado, where the sea spiny dragon was vaguely visible.

In Lang's worried eyes, the light beam directly broke through the tornado, and a blue figure flew out upside down.

"Beep touch~"

At this time, the painful voice of the sea spiny dragon was revealed in the huge roar.

However, Lang breathed a sigh of relief. Being able to scream meant that he still had the ability to fight and was not instantly killed by one move.

Zheye raised his eyebrows. With the blessing of growth, after being beaten and consumed by parasitic seeds, and being hit head-on by the Ivy Snake's solar beam, the Sea Thorn Dragon on the opposite side was still able to fight.

It is conceivable that it has been cultivated quite well.

"Stand up, Sea Thorn Dragon." Lang shouted loudly to his elf. Seeing its scarred body gradually getting up, he also turned his eyes to Tetsuya, "Are you a new trainer?"

He asked his opponent for the first time since the battle began.

Lang admitted that when he saw Ivy Snake and young Tetsuya, he felt a little underestimated for a moment.

After all, for such a young person who came to participate in the conference, Yusanjia is not in its final form, and there is something wrong with it.

However, the strength of this ivy snake far exceeded his imagination.

The tenth-level battle is not like the Yusanjia of ordinary new trainers, but more like the elves conquered by powerful trainers.

But Tetsuya's face didn't look like him, so he was a little confused.

"Well, this is the first year." Tetsuya admitted readily. He showed his cards. Isn't he a genius?

"Magic Leaf!"

Then, taking advantage of the time when the two elves recovered at the same time, he decisively commanded the Ivy Snake to launch an offensive.

Zhe also said that you came to talk to me yourself, so you can’t blame me for distracting yourself.

Ivy Snake has long been accustomed to the style of its trainer, and followed the command to throw out many leaves that shone with blue-purple light.

The magic leaves had an automatic tracking effect and directly hit the panting sea spiny dragon.

This time, Sea Spiny Dragon made no sound and fell directly to the ground. Its eyes turned into circles and it lost its ability to fight.

At this time, Lang had just woken up from Zheye's answer. When he saw this scene, he shook his head helplessly.

As a novice trainer, he must be very good at seizing the opportunity.

"The mercenary wins and becomes the champion." The referee also announced the result directly.

"Let's go and recover the elves. You just need to come back within ten minutes, otherwise the arena will automatically become uncontested."

Lang took back the sea thorn dragon and greeted Tetsuya warmly.

"Okay." Zheya also took back the ivy snake and replied with a smile.

Although Ivy Snake only consumed some physical energy from the skill release, everything must be prepared for the continued battle.

The two of them walked towards Joyner, talking and laughing.

Winning or losing a game doesn't mean anything. The friendship between trainers often starts with a battle. There can't be a loser or a winner.

If you lose this time, the worst thing you can do is win it back next time.

"Hey, you are challenging Lang. It seems that you are pretty good at it, but you still have to work hard."

Miss Joy looked at the two people approaching and said with a smile that she had already figured out a "reasonable" plot.

"He still has to work hard. I failed miserably." Lang said speechlessly. Naturally, he didn't know about the conversation between Tetsuya and Miss Joy when he came.

Miss Joy blinked and replied awkwardly: "As a trainer, your strength is never-ending, you have to keep moving forward."

Zhe was also smiling on the sidelines, but did not expose Miss Joy's smoothness.

"Then, I'll leave my Sea Thorn Dragon to you." Lang scratched his head, not noticing anything was wrong with Joey, and handed her the Sea Thorn Dragon's Poké Ball.

Tetsuya also handed over Ivy Snake's luxurious ball.

"Okay, please wait a moment, both of you."

Miss Joy's face was serious, but her ears were a little red, and she ran into the recovery room with a snickering lucky egg.

"Do you also think it would be better to use Waterfall Climbing just now? I only thought of it later. There is no way, there are too many skill lists, and I will forget it if I don't pay attention."

The two chatted about the battle just now, and Tetsuya expressed his incomprehension about Sea Spiny Dragon's use of jumping.

Lang was also helpless. There are limits to human reaction. It would be great to be able to react at that moment, let alone choose the most appropriate skill.

Tetsuya nodded in agreement with Lang's explanation.

Even he sometimes subconsciously chooses skills that are not quite right.

The two chatted animatedly about the battle just now.

"Young people are really full of energy, which is really good."

A kind voice sounded in their ears.

"President Dama Lanqi!"

The two of them looked up and saw a face that everyone knew, and subconsciously stood up to say hello respectfully.

It's not that surprising, because every year at the Quartz Conference, President Dama Lanqi wanders around the Quartz Plateau to communicate with the trainers, and it's almost become common knowledge.

It is also because of this that President Dama Lanqi has a very good reputation among the trainers.

"Yeah, relax, but I really have something to tell you this time."

President Dama Lanqi cast his eyes on Tetsuya who was confused.
