Dawn of Pokémon

On the afternoon of June 27, it was halfway through the round of [-] games.

Just judging from the degree of attention, the afternoon session is obviously higher than the morning session.There is no other reason. The games between Keiji Kusama and Greyhound, the two most watched players in this league, will be played in the afternoon.However, it was difficult to reflect this from the appearance of the competition site - it was actually because the Quartz Stadium had been packed since early morning.

The first battle of the afternoon was between Kyoji Kusama and Kiriha 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 game would be a personal show for the No. [-] seed as always.

——Kyoji Kusama himself had the exact opposite idea.

The boy 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 side of the distant sports field and falling heavily on him.

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

After the sports ground was quiet for a moment, uproar broke out.Kyoji Soma's words did not seem to be addressed to an opponent he had never met before. Just the simple word "finally" vaguely showed that the relationship between the two was close.

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

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

"Sorry, I……"

As soon as he started speaking, the boy with chestnut hair on the opposite side raised his hand to interrupt him, "We are rivals now. 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 stopped their irrelevant thoughts.After the signal to start the game was given, Tongye, who attacked first, sent Ladybug An to take the lead.Kyoji's Poké Ball flew away immediately, and as the light lit up, blazing flames spurted out.

"Smoke smoke!"

Before the naked eye could see clearly the appearance of the Pokémon, the fire and black smoke had already spread, swallowing Ladybug Ann in one piece.The small insect looked extremely fragile in the fire wave, but it remained motionless. 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 sticking directly into 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 captured the scene of An Ladybug's fist glowing, and immediately said, "The power of the earth!"

The volcanic crater on the back of the fire-breathing hunchback no longer spews heat waves, and earthy yellow light rises from all directions surrounded by soil and sand.An Ladybug's fist hit the earth wall very fast, and the scattered ripples spread out - just as Kyoji expected, it was 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 status than attacking, and there might be a trap hidden under every seemingly ordinary move.In the eyes of ordinary people, An Ladybug's disguise of ultrasound might be enough to look fake, but Kyoji could have seen 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 didn't care whether the opponent's fighting style was negative or not, and said calmly, "Rock collapse, the power of the earth!"

As sharp rocks fell from the sky, the soil also turned into thorns and protruded upward.The momentum of the up and down attack is like the teeth of a beast, precise and full of coldness.

Ladybug An 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 to whisper something, and the sound was masked by the roar of falling rocks. After receiving the instruction, Ladybug An stopped and no longer fled in panic, but rushed straight towards the fire-breathing camel. , both fists also burst out with bright orange light.

——To be honest, such an aggressive attitude is not in line with Kiriha's usual style.Kyoji knew that his friend did not like fighting, whether on the field or in the wild.Out of consideration for his friends, it seemed that he should not invite such a person who only wanted 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 behind Ladybug An, blocking the way back.The fire-breathing camel knew that Ladybug An could throw a heavy punch that was not suitable for her small body, so she 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.But the fire-breathing camel and Jingji immediately realized that something was wrong - Ladybug An clearly flew out on her own, and the fire-breathing camel's attack power didn't even have time to land on Ladybug An.

The slender ladybug bounced away like lightning, and the shining fighting-type energy in her fists had switched to the light yellow color of the insect-type.It bypassed the rockslide and the force of the earth at an astonishing speed, and crashed straight into the trainer's arms.Another Poké Ball flew out at the same time as Ladybug An disappeared, and the clear boy's voice followed, "Play with water!"

A majestic curtain of water 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, Tidal Wave.The water splashed down in a spiral shape, and the fire-breathing camel that bore the brunt 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 Ann was no longer there, replaced by a white bug Pokémon with gorgeous wings.

The moment he saw the Rainwing Moth appear, Kyoji immediately understood Kiriha's intention.He had no intention of letting Ladybug An fight with the fire-breathing camel, which was good at fire attacks and had rough skin and flesh. All the previous confrontations were just to delay time, and only the final rapid turnaround was 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 30 seconds after sending out Pokémon.It is not difficult for Kiriha to delay the attack of the fire-breathing camel for 30 seconds.

If the battle situation is unfavorable, choose to exchange, or delay for 30 seconds before time is up. Compared with regional league competitions, this approach will appear more in more professional competitions.Only Tongha would be so "cautious" in formal or informal situations.

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

Tongye frowned slightly as the rain of rocks rumbled down.Playing with water reduces the power of fire-type moves, so switch to rock-type attacks. This logic seems correct, but it is too simple for Kyoji - especially since Kyoji has known such attacks for a long time. There was nothing that could be done about the Rainwing Moth.

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

"Shadow clone, foam 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 sunlight, occupying every place in the fire-breathing camel's field of vision with a riot of colors. Even the auditorium not far away was shattered by the reflection of the bubbles.The fire-breathing camel seemed to be in a huge kaleidoscope, and there was no trace of the rain-wing moth.

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 can't bring much damage to the fire-breathing camel.It turned around suddenly, but only caught a tiny bit of the color of the Rainwing Moth's wings reflected by the foam.And the continuous air slashes kept flying from other angles. The fire-breathing camel could only feel the pain of the sharp blade cutting, and could not capture the opponent's position at all.

When the audience exclaimed, Kyoji wasn't that surprised.Among the various tactics Tongye has used, this is not the most difficult to resist. It is only because the bubble light spreads exponentially through the power of the shadow clone, blocking the opponent's vision in a very short time, and it is threatening to a certain extent. .And such a layout usually comes and goes quickly, and the fragile bubble cannot withstand a powerful blow.

Under the instructions of the trainer to "spray flames", the fire-breathing camel's flame pillar swept across, and the bubbles disappeared in pieces like black characters being erased on a white paper.However, the moment the flames and water bubbles met, a large amount of steam rose up, and when the vast whiteness swallowed up everything in his field of vision, Kyoji suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The foam light does not contain much moisture, and even if it collides with the flame, it is impossible to generate so much steam, unless Tong Ye deliberately manipulated it.The experience of many battles with Kiriha told Kyoji that when his vision was briefly seized by Kiriha, it must be the most critical moment, so he immediately issued the "Power of the Earth" instruction.

Solid earth walls rose from all directions, completely enveloping the fire-breathing camel. Even the top of the head was covered by the earth walls - since the line of sight was already blocked by the white mist, nothing would be lost if the blockage was more complete.If the Rainwing Moth's attack hits the earth wall, the fire-breathing camel that controls the power of the earth can 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 mixes into the wind, carrying water vapor straight into the sky.The thick mist was dispersed, and Kyoji subconsciously covered his face with his arms. A silver whirlwind flowed out from the gap between his fingers and rushed into the sky.

The 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 Jingji could figure out what this meant, a loud roar had already reached his ears.

The solid earth wall suddenly collapsed like a castle whose foundation had been extracted, stirring up a cloud of smoke and dust.Amidst the crashing sounds of earth and gravel, the whine of the fire-breathing camel reached the trainer's ears particularly sharply.
