I'm not a supporting character in Pokemon

Pillars of the sky.

level one.

Pitch black is the dominant color here.

Human eyes can adapt to the dark night environment to a certain extent, but it is basically impossible to see clearly without any light.

Ordinary challengers will rely on their own flashlights at this time, or let the elves use [Flash].

But Li Xiang doesn’t need either.

Because the protective clothing sent by Teacher Mo comes with many supporting parts, including night vision devices.

And unlike ordinary low-light night vision devices, it also reacts to the attribute energy in Pokémon's body, which can be called a special black technology.

After using this thing, he understood why the group of people could keep chasing him during the elevated chase.

Compared with the two strong light sources of flashlight and flash, this thing is also more concealed, which can effectively prevent some ghosts from using underworld methods to target the light source.

The only drawback may be that there is no color. A black and white world has some impact on vision.

But it’s better than seeing nothing at all.

Put on night vision goggles.

Li Xiang patted the backpack behind him to signal a certain little hedgehog inside not to doze off, and then silently observed the surrounding environment.

"It's exactly what the guide said."

The first thing you see is many rough and thick stone pillars, most of which are connected to the top, like supporting the load-bearing pillars above.

But he knew that these stone pillars were not fixed and would change positions as new challengers entered.

This is one of the reasons why the internal structure diagram of the Sky Pillar provided by the association is inaccurate.

As for raw materials...

Li Xiang stepped on the thin layer of sand under his feet and showed a thoughtful expression on his forehead.

It is said that the one who turned sand into stone pillars was a very powerful ground-type Pokémon.

The specific Pokémon is not mentioned in the guide, which proves that non-dragon challengers have never encountered it, or that if they have encountered it, they don't know it was responsible.

And the actual effect of these stone pillars——

Reasonable use of space, while blocking the challenger's progress, also made the opponent think that the interior of the Sky Pillar was ridiculously large.

Are you afraid that you didn’t graduate from the Department of Architecture?

Who knows.

After confirming that there was no reaction of attribute energy nearby, Li Xiang took a step forward and recalled in his mind the location of the stairs guided in the guide.

Not even two steps away.

A huge stone tablet appeared in front of me. There were trails on both sides to continue moving forward. On it were the four most conspicuous characters -

[Disable elves].

Okay.

It's really simple and crude.

Li Xiang turned his head and glanced at the scene behind the stone monument, and found that it was a wide area paved with giant square stone tiles.

At the end is a staircase leading to the next level.

It looks like a scene from some tomb robbing novel.

no doubt.

This is the trap layer mentioned in the guide. It is a huge square grid composed of nearly a hundred stone bricks. Each stone brick has a chance of being hollow and will collapse when stepped on.

Below is a tunnel leading to an underground river.

Anyway.

It's similar to the grid level in Fall Bean Man, which is a bit insulting to people's intelligence.

It's a warm-up session.

However, even the warm-up session is difficult for some people.

The reason lies in a certain guy hiding in the ceiling.

Li Xiang came to the checkered trap and glanced at the ceiling, and sure enough he found a top-shaped creature in earthy yellow and pink and purple.

——Libra Puppet, Clay Puppet Pokémon, with ground-level superpower attributes.

Although there is no clear evidence, most guides agree that all stone bricks are hollow underneath.

The specific ones that can be stepped on depend on which stone bricks Libra chooses to use [supernatural power] to stabilize.

It's useless to smash or test with hard objects. As long as you knock it, it will definitely break. If you hit a row, it will break. In the end, you need to jump to continue moving forward.

There is an unseemly way to clear the level——

Step on the earth wall between the stone bricks to pass, but you are not sure whether Libra will use its magical power to push you when you walk like this.

All I can say is, no matter how you try to pass the level, it all depends on the face of the guy above.

of course there are exceptions.

"Sir, times have changed."

Li Xiang shook his head, took a few steps back under the gaze of Libra, and then suddenly ran forward!

Libra: "?"

What's going on with this human being? Are you going to rush over before the stone bricks break? This was the bet from the beginning——

call!

The wind suddenly roared!

Libra's eyes are dazzled.

The challenger below is already leaping like a bird!

Then, he opened his limbs, and large jets of air spurted out from behind, pushing his body and easily allowing him to cross a distance of nearly three hundred meters!

So fast!

Before Libra even had time to react or use his supernatural power to do anything, he heard a snap.

The other party landed gently in front of the stairs leading to the upper floor. His face was not red and he was out of breath, and he patted the dust on his body.

Between the limbs and the body, there was a film-like object that slowly tightened and disappeared.

"Wing suit, jet device, it's just easy to use!"

Li Xiang gave Libra a thumbs up, showed a hearty smile, and quickly walked towards the second floor regardless of what he thought.

Don't give this guy a chance to act like a monster.

Libra: "???"

What the hell!

Can humans evolve now? What does it evolve into, a flying man?

Libra, who has hardly seen the outside world, knows that due to the invasion of people from other worlds, the level of black technology is increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Wingsuit?

Just a little thing.

Second floor.

It was still pitch black and covered with large and small stone pillars.

But at the end of the corridor, there is a huge stone tablet that looks the same as the first floor, with three words written on it.

[One-to-one].

Battle level.

There’s nothing to say about this, it’s a quick fix.

Li Xiang crossed the stone monument and walked forward around a pile of stone pillars. Within two steps, there was an additional presence at the end of his field of vision.

The location was probably above a certain stone pillar, and the black-purple energy showed its outline.

It is relatively petite and stooped, with a big head, extremely short legs, and a ball-shaped tail.

The answer is ready to come out.

——A ghostly cursed doll, a ragdoll Pokémon.

It's a good hiding place.

If you use a flashlight or flashlight, you will probably be startled by this insidious domestic product.

If the protection is not complete, it will have to be attacked by it.

After all, this dark environment is a paradise for ghost-type Pokémon, and they can hide as they please.

Pity.

Why are night vision devices so useful?

Li Xiang sighed, and after confirming that the other party had discovered him, he directly released the Shield Sword Monster, which was also a ghost.

boom!

The crisp sound of the Poké Ball opening continued to echo, and the sudden flash of white light was also quite eye-catching.

I'm coming!

The cursed doll regained its energy, but was a little confused as to why the man didn't turn on the light.

It seems that there were a few people who didn't turn on the lights before.

Should we attack directly?

But what if the other party didn't find it and just brought out the elf to look for it?

Sure enough, it was still a sneak attack.

The cursed doll showed a sinister smile. It loved stabbing in the back, whether it was stabbing elves or humans.

Anyway, the bottom line requirement is not to harm the life of the challenger.

However.

"Shadow Claw."

Li Xiang pointed in the direction of the cursed doll and gave the order without hesitation.

The Shield Sword Monster seemed to have a telepathic connection with him. He just glanced at his fingers from the corner of his eye, then drew his sword and flew into the distance!

bass!

The sword flashed!

"Chirp?"

The cursed doll let out an incredible scream, as if it didn't understand why its position was exposed.

But when faced with the shield sword monster flying towards it, it not only did not dodge, but charged directly forward!

The dark purple energy quickly gathered around the claws, amplifying them several times in an instant!

[Shadow Claw] versus [Shadow Claw]!

Bang!

The sound of the explosion echoed in the closed environment, and the smoke quickly spread in all directions.

Li Xiang ignored it, put on the matching mask, and walked forward through the smoke.

Subsequently.

There was a snap.

It seemed like something had fallen from above.

He didn't know when there was a giant sword with a slightly shining eye beside him.

- Vulnerable.

An elf like the Cursed Doll can't even survive ten lives.

"Well done."

Li Xiang praised in a low voice and walked to the third floor.

the third floor.

Engraved on the stone tablet are decryption levels.

It is said that there are three stone gates at the beginning, and there is a question on each stone gate. The challenger needs to choose one to enter and decipher it.

If you have the answer, tell the elf behind the door. If it thinks you are right, it will let you pass.

Otherwise it will attack you.

Of course it is possible to fight back, one on one.

The troublesome thing about this level is not that most of the questions are brain teasers, but that whether it is correct or not is decided by the elf behind the door.

Even if the answer is right, if it says wrong, then it is wrong.

At the same time, even if you defeat the elf guarding the level, the stone gate will not open after passing the level.

You need to go to another stone chamber to decipher it.

If you don’t answer all three questions “correctly”, even if you still have some energy left, the trial is over.

This is the so-called final interpretation right belongs to Rayquaza.

Li Xiang was lucky. The elf guarding the stone gate he chose did not make things difficult for him, and let him pass if he answered correctly.

The fourth floor.

Hidden object level.

The staircase leading upwards was torn down and the new one was hidden, requiring challengers to find it in order to advance.

He first groped the surrounding walls to confirm that each one was solid, and then began to explore the large stone pillars.

Finally, I found the stairs in a large piece of stone pillars.

There are really many misleading stone pillars, some are deliberately tilted, and some are made into square shapes.

But overall it's not hard to find.

In the early days.

He could understand that the difficulty gradually increased upwards, and then he climbed to the tenth floor non-stop.

There was basically no pause in between.

…

Outside the Pillar of the Sky.

From the moment Li Xiang entered, news spread among the Dragon People.

"Has the monster trial started?"

"Does anyone know which floor he has reached? Didn't the elf in the pillar send any news?"

“I don’t know if he can set a new fastest record.”

"It's bullshit. He is strong but he is still at the level of a student."

"Hey! I heard that the captain of Fog City is also going to participate in the trial!"

"There are two silver rings in Fog City? It's impossible, isn't it? Doesn't the Presbyterian Church always control the export volume of silver rings?"

"Maybe Li Xiang, that one was given by the association? If I were the president of the association, I would definitely give one. After all, it will be a global level soon and bring glory to the region!"

"Anyway, I think what's the point of his challenge this time? What's the point of passing the 100th level? Lord Dragon God definitely doesn't like this arrogant type!"

"I think so too. I even doubt that he will take action against Lord Dragon God..."

The young generation of dragon trainers were noisy in the ant colony, and soon there were hundreds of replies.

And someone within them also spread the news.

One spreads to ten, and ten spreads to a hundred.

At that time, almost half of the circle of college students who knew about the Dragon God Trial knew Li Xiang's whereabouts.

He looks like a big star.

Song Jie had known about this for a long time, Li Xiang had told him personally, but hearing it again from others, he couldn't help but remain silent inside.

Silver rings are of course precious, and given his family's circumstances, it would not be difficult to find a way to get one.

He also knows very well that if he gets the Key Stone and Super Stone, his strength will definitely increase dramatically, and he will be more than enough to participate in singles.

The key point is that this level 100, which Li Xiang thinks is completely safe, is not safe for him.

Strength does not allow it.

Going hastily will only leave consequences that you will regret for the rest of your life.

It’s still at least two years away…maybe a year.

Song Jie looked at his elves and secretly made up his mind not to waste any more time.

opposite.

Gong Xu also felt sad, after all, there had been a time when he had promised to assist Li Xiang.

As a result, I only played a few games during the school competition, and Susie basically took care of the rest.

This is not consistent with his character of telling the truth.

go ahead! We must move forward!

Catch up with that guy and make what was said come true!

The blond boy works hard!

And there are countless people like this guy who are excited by a piece of news and hope to catch up with Li Xiang.

Unfortunately, the popular figure they were thinking about was currently on the 22nd floor avoiding the pursuit of three Ghost Stones.

…

The twenty-second floor.

The content of the trial is hide and seek.

Three Ghost Stones act as trappers, chasing the challenger in a small maze made of stone pillars.

Can attack but does not use attribute energy, and will eventually stun the challenger.

There is a certain level of danger.

The challenger needs to run to the next level before being "caught" by the Ghost Stone. It's that simple.

For Li Xiang.

This level is indeed not difficult. The three Ghost Stones are very weak. If he didn't want to waste his energy, he would have thought of drawing his sword and fighting them hard.

This protective suit is not for nothing!

Ahem...it's swollen.

but.

Waiting for the next few levels, maybe there will be such an opportunity.

Because the basic "gameplay" of the 100-level trial of the Sky Tower has not changed much. The higher you go, the more various tricks are added to the original basic situation.

Like a hidden object level.

It could be looking for a hidden staircase, a key to the next level, or even looking for the one among a bunch of elves that can help him pass a level.

Battle level.

The opponent's strength will also gradually increase, and it is not surprising that two-on-two or three-on-three situations occasionally occur.

Trap off.

From the beginning of the grid, to when three Gengars are placed in front of you, guess which one has the key to pass the level in its mouth. If you guess wrong, you will be licked.

It's over until the key is found or licked to the point of coma.

Decryption level.

From brain teasers to some extremely rare and weird questions, if you don't answer correctly you will be attacked, and you are not allowed to use elves.

What's even more uncomfortable is that if you can't answer some questions, you have to go back to the previous level and challenge it again.

at last.

This is the end of the chase just now.

Generally, you are not allowed to use elves, and you have to go to the next level if you are being chased.

This is the most dangerous level and has the highest failure rate. It was because of this that I saw Pang Jing's body in tatters.

Generally speaking, it's hard to find simple and extremely simple.

In order not to let Su Qian wait too long, and to end it as soon as possible, Li Xiang climbed up non-stop.

When he climbed to the thirty-second floor, he stopped to rest and let Xie Mi come out for some air.

"It's so dark, and it smells so bad. I wonder where you are...ah, here you are." 』

Semi shrugged his nose and found the person next to it.

"drink water?"

Li Xiang took off his mask, replenished his water, and asked.

Semi shook his head, indicating that he was not thirsty but a little hungry and needed cookies to restore his health.

The former pretended not to hear it and used small stones to throw the tank skunk huddled in the corner in the distance.

The strange-looking guy snorted twice but didn't dare to fight back.

Because Li Xiang's Rotom is too violent and cannot be defeated at all, so he can only be a little timid.

And it was beaten for a reason. It was the source of the stench that Semiy smelled just now.

Although trainers have been targeted in past battle stages, this is the first time I have seen one this terrifying.

The poisonous gas sprayed out by tank skunks would make ordinary people faint after smelling it for more than ten seconds at most.

Failure to do so may even endanger life.

It can be called a destructive weapon.

What’s even more outrageous is that the Sky Tower has no windows, so it’s not ventilated!

If it weren't for the gas mask, Li Xiang wouldn't have stayed on this floor even if he was beaten to death.

And this time I called Xie Mi out with the intention of letting him use [Seed Flash] to purify the surrounding air.

The mask is not very comfortable after all.

but.

"Why, why?" I do not want! 』

Semi's eyes widened and he was so surprised that he forgot his oral habit.

"Raise pigs... ah no, raise hedgehogs for a thousand days, and use hedgehogs for a while. After all, I haven't seen you use your moves yet."

Li Xiang persuaded in a low voice.

"Say no! Mimi doesn’t smell bad! ’ Xie Mi decisively refused. It’s not an air purifier, so I don’t want to breathe in all the stench.

Li Xiang said casually: "A box of cookies."

"No, tut, no. 』

Xie Mi smacked his lips. He hadn't eaten in the past two days, which made him almost drool.

"Two boxes."

"Mimi can't do it." 』

"Three boxes."

"It's useless for you to force me like this..."

"Four boxes and a tub of ice cream."

"...Mimi thinks she can think about it." 』

Xie Mi hid his salivating expression and proudly said that he would think about it.

In fact, I thought Li Xiang would increase the price, so I waited for him to continue talking.

But someone narrowed his eyes.

"Three boxes."

『! ! ! Why has it been reduced? 』

"Two boxes."

"Don't go too far! 』

"One box!"

"Just agree, Mimi!" Four boxes plus a tub of ice cream, everything will be purified for you! 』

"Just one box, do you want it if you like it?"

Li Xiang sneered and looked at the fat hedgehog acting like a monster. "In the worst case, I'll go to the next floor to rest."

Xie Mi: 『! ! 』

It's too, too much! Why don’t people just think about it?

It nodded with tears in its eyes, fearing that if it hesitated any longer, it would not eat even one box.

tyranny! Li Xiang, this tyrant!

Xie Mi thought humiliatingly, ran to the side, brewed for a while, and used Seed Flash.

The small pink flower on the left forehead lit up slightly, and the black smoke in the air was quickly inhaled by it.

This guy doesn’t think he’s an air purifier, but he is.

It is also an extremely destructive air purifier.

Li Xiang silently watched it perform its actions. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt like he was shitting with his moves.

Lean less.

The pink flower that kept inhaling the poisonous gas completely turned black, and then——

boom!

A shining sun is rising here!

It's a bit exaggerated, but in an extremely dark environment, such a large light source can indeed be called a "sun".

At least the tank skunk covered his eyes, rolled on the ground and howled, looking like he was about to go blind.

Li Xiang was facing the light source, far away, and was not affected at all.

have to say.

Although Xie Mi is a little tired and his character is a little weak, he does have basic strength.

This seed flash alone has surpassed many elves, even with the added poison gas.

The power of this move is not as fixed as in the game. As long as the poison gas is poisonous enough, it won't be a problem to blast through the center of the earth.

The light fades.

"Huh...huh..."

Semi gasped and ran out of the smoke, shouting that he wanted to eat cookies.

Li Xiang picked it up and smelled it. He felt that it smelled like green grass after the rain. It couldn't be said to be a good smell, but it was definitely not unpleasant.

Pay as agreed.

He also started to nibble on some supplies, and out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a certain tank skunk with its nose hunched up and down, as if it was a bit greedy but timid, and waved to it.

Ignore it.

Just throw a few energy cubes over.

"for you."

The energy cube was rolling on the ground. The tank skunk couldn't see it clearly, but his nose could smell the aroma.

God knows it was either because it was new to the world, or because it had poison attributes and wasn't afraid of poisoning, so it just went over and ate it.

at the same time.

It also understands that this was given by the human being.

There were many challengers who wanted to feed the adult at the top, but the one who gave it food was the first.

"...hiss?"

"Still want it? Then I'll give you another one."

The familiar aroma rolled to the tank skunk's feet.

It seems that it was indeed given by that human being.

It silently ate the energy cube, approached the opponent with light steps, and assumed a surrender posture.

One hand was silently placed on its head, stroking it gently.

The gentle and direct way of poking the tank skunk's sensitive points directly made this guy who was guarding the gate fall.

Good, so comfortable~

ps: I don’t have to go to work today, so I’m letting myself go a little bit, sorry.
