Dawn of Pokémon

Under the sweeping wind, the water vapor and dust stirred up by the collapse of the earth wall quickly dispersed, and the true face of the battle site was revealed with a roaring sound.

The venue used for the top [-] battle was a standard battlefield without any additional elements. The soil was flat and compacted, and a rectangular field was outlined with white circles on the surface.However, at this moment, there are large tracts of white covering the soil, shrouded in powdery scales, reflecting little bits of light like winter snow.

——No, that is not snow, but pure white insect silk.

Countless soft worm threads were criss-crossed and woven together, condensing a binding force comparable to an iron rope, and with the blessing of the silver whirlwind, the earth wall was squeezed until it cracked.The scattered soil, gravel and fire-breathing camel were tied together, like a huge variegated insect cocoon. The fire-breathing camel in the center was squeezed by the sand and worm threads and could not move. The moment before the mist dispersed, it was destroyed by the most feared water element. The attack was a hit, and the flames that were about to burst out of the crater on his back turned into black smoke.

Any trainer with a little common sense would find this situation a bit bizarre.The silk spinning itself does not possess powerful power. If you want to crush the earth wall created by the power of the earth - even if it is not yet fully formed, you can only achieve it with the help of the power of the silver whirlwind.And the worm threads integrated with the whirlwind will be cut by the wind blade if you are not careful. It is even more difficult to ride on the wind and turn into chains. At least in the eyes of the 14-year-old Kusama Keiji, this is his A level of control that even Ace Tanabata Blue Bird cannot match.

The Rainwing Moth in the sky accumulated dark blue energy waves, and it was about to lower the water cannon that was more powerful than the water wave.The fire-breathing camel heard the still calm voice of his trainer, "Fire-breathing camel."

Jingji understands and recognizes his friend's talent in fine control, and also understands Kiriha's biggest weakness - for Kiriha and his partners who are not good at "standing on the battlefield", they can go to the battlefield without defeat. Now, they completely rely on the Pokémon's move control and the trainer's strategic ability that is different from ordinary people, but these cannot cover up their absolute shortcomings in "frontal combat".

Attack and defense, these two extremely critical qualities in combat, are what Kiriha's Pokémon lacks the most.During the journey, when they have to participate in battles due to various accidents, they and their trainers always avoid the head-on confrontation that hurts both sides. They control the situation through dexterous body shapes and exquisite tactics, and often survive in situations where neither the enemy nor we are injured. End the battle.This seemed very peaceful and reasonable, and even Jingji himself came up with the idea of ​​traveling with him after seeing Kiriha's behavior.But now, after getting along for a long time, he doesn't think it's good to maintain this state forever.

and so--

As the dark blue water column descended, blazing flames burst out from behind the fire-breathing camel.

Orange fire and hot rocks erupted into the sky, dyeing the sky red like a furious volcano.The water cannon that was supposed to have the attribute advantage was swallowed up silently and turned into a few wisps of steam. The slender body of the Rainwing Moth was also swallowed up immediately, without even having time to let out a mournful scream.

The injured fire-breathing camel cannot exert the full power of its ultimate move "fire-breathing", but despite this, it is still more than enough to counter the Rainwing Moth's attack.The blazing flames overflowed unbridled, and the maximum power output caused the entire venue to shake. Everyone felt that the Rainwing Moth would be burned black and defeated in less than three seconds.The next moment, the fire-breathing camel suddenly stopped attacking.

The misfire without warning caused the volcano behind it to make several muffled sounds, as if the energy was stuck in it and became a mess.The fire-breathing camel showed an expression of discomfort, and there were faint yellow arcs jumping on the surface of its body, making it unable to move.

Paralysis state...?when? !

Kyōji had a look of astonishment on his face.It's impossible for any Bug-type Pokémon to release paralysis powder in the fire and hit the target, not even Kiriha's friends.He subconsciously looked for the Rainwing Moth, but under the clear blue sky there were only unextinguished sparks dancing, and there was no shadow of the Rainwing Moth at all.

The fire-breathing camel struggled in pain.The paralysis effect was very severe on it, as if it had taken a large can of paralysis powder orally.Most of the worm threads had been burned off by the aftermath of the fire-breathing move. Unfortunately, the fire-breathing camel was unable to even stand up, let alone break free from the shackles of the worm threads.

A rustling sound came from under the rocks.People were shocked to see the rain-winged moth emerge leisurely from under the cracks in the rocks and sand in the "cocoon", like an insect spirit emerging from the cocoon.There was a lot of mud on its body. It looked embarrassed but acted normally, with not even a trace of burns on its body.

In the silence, Tongye's voice sounded softly, "Water cannon."

Charge up, shoot, and the dark blue water column attacks the fire-breathing camel again, but the fire-breathing camel affected by paralysis is unable to fight back.After the fatal impact of the water flow, it fainted without saying a word. Its huge body was still bound between stones and worm silk. The gray-black mud wetted by the water stuck to its body, making the fire-breathing camel look more like a fire-breathing camel. It was a severe burn.

After the referee announced that "the fire-breathing camel has lost the ability to fight," the audience was in an uproar.

"W-what's going on?" Xiaojie widened his blue eyes, which he thought had eight-point vision, in surprise.He can guarantee that the Fire-breathing Camel's ultimate move definitely hit the Rainwing Moth, and then...how did the Rainwing Moth teleport into the crack in the stone?How did you spill the paralyzing powder?

"……substitute."

"Hey, Xiaoye, what did you say?" Xiaoling asked smoothly. Before hearing Xiaoye's answer, she was poked by her brother with a straight face. Only then did she realize that she had accidentally called Xiaoye's real name in public. Rather than a code name - fortunately, the entire stadium was so noisy that the other seeded players sitting in the back row couldn't hear their conversation at all.

"The 'Rainwing Moth' that was hit by the fire breath was a substitute." Xiao Ye also found that the noise around her was loud enough to affect the conversation, so she deliberately amplified the volume, "The real body of the Rainwing Moth was revealed when the water vapor rose. So I hid it—although I only discovered it with the power of the waveguide."

The golden retriever brother and sister looked at each other, both looking like they were trying their best to think but were still confused.Seeing this, Xiaotian explained, "The true form of the Rainwing Moth is always hiding in the crevices next to the Fire-breathing Camel. The Rain-Winged Moth that attacks in the air is a stand-in used to attract the Fire-breathing Camel's attention. When it uses its spray, When the fire attacks, the Rainwing Moth takes the opportunity to release a large amount of paralysis powder, which makes the fire-breathing camel unable to move for a short time and takes the opportunity to defeat the opponent."

Xiaojie nodded suddenly, and then suddenly realized something, "Wait a minute, Bingshan Boy, did you also realize that that was a substitute?"

Seeing the golden-haired boy's expression of "I'm afraid he has a pair of fake eyes", Xiaotian paused for a moment, glanced at Xiaoye and then answered calmly, "No, I didn't know until Xiaoye said it."

"Oh... Then you figured it out really quickly..."

Xinghai, who likes to be a teacher, also came over with a smile, "There is a little trick used in this tactic. I wonder if you have discovered it?"

Four pairs of eyes looked at the sea of ​​​​stars with full curiosity.The silver-haired young man suddenly smiled and rolled his eyes - I don't know how he could read his eyes through his sunglasses, "It can be seen from the competition that the two of them know each other's fighting style very well. If they just hide their true identities through the fog, , it’s hard to deceive Kyōji-kun with this kind of trick.”

"But in fact, Mr. Keiji is convinced that it is the true form of the Rainwing Moth that launched the attack. Why is this?" Xiaoling asked the question proactively like a well-behaved primary school student.

"Because the Rainwing Moth uses the wave of water." Xinghai said with a smile, "We all know that although the Rainwing Moth can use various water-type moves, its wings and antennae are very afraid of moisture, and it will be serious if it gets wet with water. It affects the ability to move and even makes it impossible to fly. Therefore, when Keiji-kun saw the 'Rainwing Moth' using a spread attack like water wave without any scruples against the fire-breathing camel, he subconsciously ruled out the true nature of the Rainwing Moth. The possibility of hiding near a fire-breathing camel."

"That's it." Xiaoling nodded knowingly, "The rocks and soil next to the fire-breathing camel are indeed wet with water. It doesn't look like they can hide Pokémon."

Xiaojie looked at the soaked "Cocoon" on the field and muttered, "Using paralysis powder and harvesting people's heads does not require flying ability. It doesn't matter if it gets wet... Could it be that the Rainwing Moth was lucky enough not to be killed?" Get wet?"

"No, it uses worm silk to weave a barrier to resist the water flow." Xiaotian replied casually.The fire-breathing camel was already tied up with thick worm silk, and it was impossible to detect whether there were a few extra strands of silk in the corners.

Xiaojie said oh, and after a moment, he turned his head and looked at Xiaotian strangely, "Isn't the Rainwing Moth hiding inside the cocoon? How did you find out?"

"Xiao Ye told me."

Night:"???"

The purple-haired girl's face was full of questions. Before she could express that she didn't say anything, she saw Xiaotian turn her head and wink her right eye calmly and innocently.

Xiaoye: "...Yeah, yes, I told him." (sluggishly)

Xiaojie: "Hey - why are you just whispering to Bingshan Boy? Why are you talking to us too!" (Dissatisfaction)

Faced with the accusations from the golden retriever brother and sister, Xiaoye had no choice but to comfort the two of them, while holding her heart and feeling that she had lost.

The truth is obviously on the lips, why does it change when I say it...

……and many more.

So how did Xiaotian discover the rainwing moth's method of resisting water flow?

Before Xiaoye could ask this question, cheers erupted from all around, interrupting their chat.

On the field, Jingji had taken back the fire-breathing camel and replaced it with the spiky Meng Song cactus.The chestnut-haired boy who had a bad start didn't look anxious, and his expression remained calm.

He really failed to predict Tongye's tactical purpose, and it was even hard to imagine that Tongye had planned all of this the moment the steam rose - no, the Rainwing Moth appeared on the scene.Release foam light, create steam, spin silk and silver whirlwind to restrain the fire-breathing camel, take the opportunity to cast a substitute and hide the real body, and then use paralysis powder to control the opponent to win the victory. The interlocking logic is so rigorous that it does not seem to be a random act. Come up with tactics.

Pre-battle command and pre-battle planning are completely different.If it were just a matter of talking on paper, [-]% of people who had studied at the Trainer Training Academy could eloquently come up with many seemingly flawless strategies. However, in a real battle, the time for thinking is only a short moment, and ordinary people have no time at all. What complex tactics are constructed.Therefore, when commanding in the face of battle, instantaneous reaction and thinking speed are particularly important.

When Keiji and Kiriha traveled together in the Hoenn region, the fire-breathing camel was just a young fire-breathing camel. Kiriha knew nothing about its evolved fighting methods and was unable to make plans before the battle.In other words - this series of tactics were all thought up by Tongye in a very short period of time during the battle between the two sides.

You are still so amazing.

Kyoji smiled distantly at his friend.However, he didn't feel that he was far behind - because he had quietly regained the game.

He watched Tong Ye retract the Rainwing Moth, which showed fatigue, and sent Ladybug An again.Before the referee shouted "game begins", the broken rocks on the ground suddenly took off without warning and hit Ladybug An hard.

Rocks burst, smoke and dust flew, and the whine of ladybirds could be heard from among them.

The boy with long dark green hair opened his eyes in shock.
