Pokémon: The Road to the Champion of Full-Level Players

Fang Yuxuan walked down the steps steadily and came to the opposite side of Jiro. With a smile on his face, he took out a Poké Ball from his waist and released the Pokémon inside.

boom!

The dazzling white light shines brightly, carrying a young guy.

Rubbing its cheek with the mountain-shaped leaf at the tip of its tail, the Vine Snake looked up at Fang Yuxuan above, a light flashing in its eyes, looking very surprised.

In the audience seat, Joe looked at the Pokémon in confusion, "Huh? What kind of Pokémon is that? Why have I never seen it before?"

As he spoke, he took out the Pokédex from his pocket and pointed it at the Pokémon next to Fang Yuxuan.

"Didi! Vine Snake, Grass Snake Pokémon. Always stays calm and is not shaken by anything. It uses the leaves on its tail to photosynthesize to generate energy. It is the initial Pokémon obtained by new trainers in the Unova region. one."

Listening to the explanation given by the Pokémon illustrated book, Qiao said proudly: "Look, it is indeed a new trainer. The Pokémon is either Pikachu or Viper. I guessed it right."

Ren, who was wearing a high ponytail, ignored Qiao's almost showy expression. She just whispered softly: "But Kyoko, the exhibition champion, also has Vine Snake and Pikachu. When he participates in the competition, they stay with him, don't they?"

"Um...really?" Qiao, who ignored the messy light purple hair on his head, had a look of astonishment on his face. When watching exhibition games, he usually only paid attention to the battles on the field. He was attracted by the exciting battles, so he naturally didn't notice this.

Dazhi and Qiqi in the front row also smiled knowingly, pretending not to hear the conversation between the two behind them.

……

"Grass Snake Pokémon, Vine Snake?"

Jiro murmured at the edge of the field. He looked at Fang Yuxuan in front of him and asked: "Is this your first Pokémon? Well... it is indeed a good choice to deal with rock-type Pokémon, but mine Pokémon are not that easy to deal with, and their attributes cannot limit us."

"I'm sorry, it's not a Pokémon that wants to participate in the battle. I just hope that it can watch, learn how to fight, and gain some experience from it." Fang Yuxuan explained with a smile.

Roger, the referee and reporter, heard this and finally understood that it was his turn as the referee. He stood between the two and said seriously: "Then, please send out Pokémon ready for battle from both sides."

Jiro didn't hesitate and took the lead in throwing a Poké Ball, "Go! Frytos!"

The leafworm Pokémon, Fritos, is a large, round, cocoon-shaped Pokémon with no visible limbs. There are only two pink saucer-shaped structures at the top and bottom of its body.

These saucer-shaped structures wrap around most of its upper and lower bodies and have uneven grooves on them. This forms the shape of the Fritos shell.

A gap along the midline of its body revealed a second red shell beneath its shell.

This red shell has a smaller slit along the middle line, through which the eyes of Fritos can be seen. Along this, four tube-like protrusions protrude from the corners of the midline of Phrytos. Aside from its eyes and what appear to be protuberances, what Phrytos looks like beneath its armor is unknown.

Is this really a rock gym? Fang Yuxuan couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Looking at the elf ball in his hand, he had already taken it out. Under the reflection of the light, its surface was shiny and smooth.

He clenched the Poké Ball in his right hand and stretched his arm straight forward. He clenched his left hand into a fist and raised it. After making the move, he threw it violently.

Nibi Gym is the first gym he challenges. It has special significance and is the beginning of the journey. The way he threw the ball just now was the same action used by the first-generation protagonist Chi Hong and Rockets leader Sakaki when they were young.

The elf ball kept spinning and flying forward, then opened with a pop, white light emerged, and an orange figure was revealed.

"Ugh~ah!"

The fire-breathing dragon looked up to the sky and roared, like a hurricane roaring or raging waves crashing on the shore. The majestic momentum really shook the surrounding rocks into pieces, and the gravel flew in the air in accordance with the direction of the wind.

Around its thick legs, dust and gravel formed a vortex, and the white air flow washed away like threads, forming an invisible pattern on the ground.

Fang Yuxuan caught the elf ball that bounced back and immediately pressed the hat on his head. A faint smile appeared on his face. He said to himself in his heart: "Hey, he almost missed the elf ball..."

The clothes rustled in the wind. Jiro stretched out a hand to block his eyes. His stubborn hair had to succumb to the air waves and tilted behind him. It looked like it had been combed by him. Same as the back of the head.

"What a strong momentum!" Jiro gritted his teeth and frowned, sighing.

In the audience seat, Qiao witnessed Fang Yuxuan's fire-breathing dragon and the air wave that could engulf the entire battlefield. He stood up unconsciously, and his messy light purple hair became even more elegant.

He still didn't pay attention to the swing of his hair. He was just stunned and stared at the orange figure in the field. He subconsciously said:

"He...really, Kyoko!?"

Lian next to her raised her arms to cover herself from the strong wind. Fortunately, she wore a high ponytail and her long light purple hair was beating like waves. She swayed left and right without affecting her appearance.

She opened one eye, looked at her brother, and smiled: "You can't deny it now, can you?"

When the strong wind subsided, Lian stared at Fang Yuxuan, who had his back turned to him. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his raised mouth could no longer be closed.

In order to confirm whether her guess was correct, she looked at Dazhi and Qiqi, calmed down her emotions, and asked politely: "Excuse me, are you that person's companion?"

Upon hearing this, Qiqi looked at this pretty girl and noticed a slightly joyful and nervous look on her face. She squeezed out a smile and said, "Yes."

Dazhi on the side also glanced back at Lian, and was about to say something with a smile, but after noticing Qiqi in front of him, he pretended to be cold and replied: "Yes."

Lian looked at Dazhi in disbelief. She covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Are you Dazhi? The runner-up in the exhibition competition? Is the person in the venue really Kyoko!?"

She was ninety-nine percent sure at first, but at this moment, she completely believed that the person below was Kyoko.

"..."

In the venue, Fang Yuxuan smiled lightly. During the previous training, he did not let the fire-breathing dragon restrain himself, and even encouraged it to burst out its own momentum.

In this way, it can not only liberate the repressed heart without affecting innocent people, but also show its own power, which is equivalent to adding an extra "tension" characteristic and a short-term "sand blowing" special training, killing three birds with one stone. Yes, why not do it?

The Vine Snake and Pikachu beside him were as before, grabbing his trousers and hiding behind his legs respectively.

"Throw~chan!" The Vine Snake half-opened its eyes. After undergoing special training, it was no longer just afraid, but also had a trace of yearning. It believed that one day, it would grow to be as powerful as that big dragon.

"Pika~chu!" Pikachu scolded Charizard for doing this again, while covering his face with his long rabbit-like ears.

Roger, the referee and reporter who was watching the game, covered his head, held a microphone, and said loudly to the camera despite the strong wind: "This challenger's fire-breathing dragon is really not easy. I can't stand even if it just activates its momentum." Already..."

In the battlefield, Fritos could no longer control his figure and fell towards a protruding rock. Facing such a violent air wave, it could not even stabilize its body and flew into the air. It was suppressed on the rock and could not move. .

"Woo~" Charizard regained his composure, shook his head, and spread his claws and wings, which looked quite handsome.

"I thought you would send out rock-type Pokémon, but I never thought you would use Fritos." Fang Yuxuan explained with a smile. He wanted to prove that he did not bully Jiro. After all, both parties took out the Pokémon balls together. .

Jiro put down his raised hand, straightened his body, his face was a little solemn, and beads of sweat the size of mung beans condensed on the side of his face, "It seems that your Charizard has been raised very well."

"Haha, I can't take it seriously. Charizard and I still have a long way to go." Fang Yuxuan responded with a smile. He was telling the truth, whether it was about getting along or each other's understanding of the other's emotions, personality, and thoughts. , or the training of oneself has not yet reached the standard.

He and Charizard looked at each other, and then stared at Jiro and Fritos in front of them without saying anything.

Seeing that Fang Yuxuan had no intention of taking the lead, Jiro gave the command first: "Fritos, Saling!"

Countless white rays of light, irregular, and gravel-like diamonds appeared around his Fritos, shooting towards the ground where the fire-breathing dragon was.

Without Fang Yuxuan's words, the fire-breathing dragon flew directly into the air to avoid Ling who was thrown to the ground.

"Okay, it's over..." Fang Yuxuan held the brim of his hat with his hand, revealing the bright eyes in the shadows below, and raised the corners of his mouth, "Let them see the results of our training, the fire-breathing dragon, spraying flames!"

Before he understood what Fang Yuxuan's first sentence "ended" meant, Jiro was just about to let Fritos continue the attack when he saw the Charizard take action.

"Woo~ah!" The fire-breathing dragon opened its big mouth, and fierce flames shot out from its mouth. The scorching flames were unstoppable, like a fist that could cover the whole body of Foleytos, and it knocked back dozens of people with one blow. meters, flying out of the field.

boom!

Fritos hit the wall of the gym with no resistance, the stone wall shattered and dust spread.

"This..." Jiro couldn't open his eyes, so he could only open his mouth slightly. He looked behind him and called eagerly: "Fritos! How are you?"

There was no response from the diffuse dust, and Jiro couldn't wait any longer, so he quickly walked towards the place where Freitos fell.

When he got close to the dust and saw the internal situation clearly, he stopped and froze on the spot.

Except for Dazhi, Qiqi, Lian and Qiao were all watching nervously. They couldn't suppress the inexplicable excitement in their hearts.

When the dust settled and the results reappeared in front of people's eyes, Roger, the referee and reporter, announced the results with a face full of surprise:

"Gym Master Jiro's Fritos has lost the ability to fight!!!"

Immediately afterwards, he looked at the camera, holding the microphone, and said excitedly: "Jiro was promoted to the gym leader, and his Pokémon couldn't resist even a single blow. Although the opponent's attributes were superior, Jiro's strength Even though he is there, he can still defeat Jiro's Fritos with one blow, which is enough to prove how powerful the opponent is."

"That's amazing! You deserve to be the champion of the exhibition competition!" Lian covered her mouth and stared at Fang Yuxuan's back in disbelief.

"Wow! So strong! I will...be like him in the future!" Qiao Yi could not maintain his stubbornness, clenching his fists tightly, and his whole body seemed to be integrated into the battle, his eyes filled with light.

Dazhi, who was sitting in the front row of the spectator seats, tilted his head, glanced at the two of them, and said silently in his heart: "Huh, if it were me, I would still be able to kill them with one move due to my attribute advantage."

Qiqi, who was sitting across from Dazhi, seemed to have expected it. After learning the result, she tilted her head and smiled. She was very satisfied with the performance of Qiao and his sister, who had been dismissive earlier.

"This is my brother, the only family member. His true strength is enough to shock everyone. Even that Luo Yi will be defeated by my brother sooner or later. Just wait!" Qiqi thought secretly in her heart, Looking at Ibrahimovic in her arms, her smile became brighter and she felt more confident than ever before.

"..."

Fang Yuxuan didn't care about the gazes around him. He stroked the surprised Vine Snake and the originally angry Pikachu at his feet, and explained to them: "Fretos has two characteristics, which are strong and dust-proof. It has strong characteristics. It will not be killed with one hit, and dustproof will not be affected by powder-based moves such as Sandstorm."

"So, I let the Charizard explode with momentum, stir up dust, and impact Freitus. If it has dust-proof properties and can offset the sand and dust swept by the air waves, then I can safely let the Charizard attack."

"If it has strong properties, haha...Fretos naturally cannot resist the air waves. As a result, after the fire-breathing dragon restrains its momentum, it will no longer be able to be at full state."

"Therefore, no matter what characteristics it has, it will never be able to withstand four times the restrained fire attack." Seven

Fang Yuxuan smiled and explained to the two little guys, and then whispered to the Vine Snake: "Little guy, what I want to tell you today is that the battle is not a reckless attack. There are many details that require your attention. The battlefield is changing rapidly, like a white cloud and a dog. No matter what decisions and tactics are used, victory cannot be guaranteed."

"Don't let your eyes and mind be blinded. This is my advice to you." After saying that, he looked deeply into the eyes of Vine Snake.

"Vote~chan!" The originally stern Tengteng Snake scratched his neck, nodded in understanding, and responded to him.

The reason why Fang Yuxuan did not explain it at the beginning was mainly because he hoped that the snake could experience the feeling of enlightenment, which would help it observe all the details in the battle.

After he analyzed his judgment on Pikachu and Vine Snake, the scene fell into complete silence.

Even Dazhi stared at Fang Yuxuan blankly, speechless for a long time.

All powerful trainers, including him, may know the two characteristics possessed by Fritos, but they would never think of using such a method to determine which characteristic the opponent has, and they have actually successfully verified it. come out.

Not only that, he can also deliberately let the opponent react, and then explode instantly, using his attribute advantages to defeat the opponent.

Isn't the crushing of details and strength similar to guiding chess... guiding the battle? ? ?

……

"Is this, is this really possible?" Reporter Roger swallowed a gulp of saliva. He spoke impassionedly to the camera and said: "Incredible, really incredible. He is fighting against Jiro who has just been promoted to the gym leader. Contestant Kyoko, he is a trainer with great strength and great insight."

While Roger was explaining, while everyone else had different ideas, Jiro, as the gym leader, suppressed the shock in his heart and took back the Fritos.

He returned to the edge of the battlefield and took out a Poké Ball again.

"It seems that I was extremely careless in this battle." Jiro stared at Fang Yuxuan, one hand trembling slightly, and he subconsciously put his hand back behind him.

Now, in front of the camera, he represents the entire city of Nibi. Although Jiro won the last battle when he was promoted to gym leader and the first battle after promotion, it was because his opponent was not strong enough that he could win.

Facing a truly powerful opponent, he felt extremely pressured. If there were no cameras and many people watching the live broadcast, maybe...he wouldn't be nervous.

On the other side, Fang Yuxuan was also examining the young man. Seeing that Laijiro seemed a little nervous, he said with a smile: "I wish I could have asked for it."

Jiro didn't say anything more and released his last Pokémon.

boom!

The light shone out, revealing a strong figure.

It was a heavyweight player. Its body was mainly black and orange in color, and it had the appearance of a protective gear.

It was the Drill Pokémon—Super Armor Rhinoceros.

It’s finally here. It’s so difficult to see a rock-type Pokémon in a rock gym... Fang Yuxuan complained silently.

But it's normal. It's just that Jiro's first Pokémon is not of the Rock Mountain type. When fighting against Lian, his second Pokémon didn't appear before the battle was over. No wonder he was there.

On the surface, Fang Yuxuan's smile did not diminish at all, and he said to Jiro: "Is this your strongest Pokémon?"

"Yes, I believe in this guy. Although there were many shortcomings in the past, it has grown too much and is completely capable of knocking down all the enemies in front of it!" Jiro finally showed a confident smile when introducing him.

Then, he quickly said: "Super-armored rhinoceros, use rock cannon!"

The Super Armored Rhino's claws are placed on the chest, and mysterious energy is gathered between the palms. Under the red light, the energy condenses into a small rock, and gradually makes it become huge, forming a huge and round boulder. , slamming into the fire-breathing dragon.

"Crush him." Fang Yuxuan said lightly with a calm expression.

The claws of the fire-breathing dragon flashed with cyan light, and it spread its wings to fly towards the rock.

boom!

The green dragon's claws scratched across and the rocks disintegrated, without causing any harm to the fire-breathing dragon.

"How could it be?" Jiro's cheeks once again shed a drop of sweat, and he frowned. Before that, every time his super-armored rhinoceros used the rock cannon, it was a powerful killing move that was enough to repel all opponents.

But now, not only can't they repel the opponent, they can't even cause any substantial damage.

Moreover, after releasing the rock cannon, the Super Armored Rhino's body became stiff and unable to move due to side effects.

Jiro, who was already familiar with this, reacted decisively and shouted: "Super-armored rhinoceros, use all your strength to push the opponent with the horn drill!"

The super-armored rhinoceros who stayed on the spot heard this, and when the fire-breathing dragon approached, he suddenly stood up and activated the horn drill.

Fang Yuxuan adjusted his hat, then bent the fingers of his hands into claws, and said: "Keep using the dragon claw, you will kill with one strike! Don't worry about it."

His words made Dazhi in the audience sit up unconsciously, straighten his back, put his hands on his knees, keep rubbing them, and muttered: "Where does this kid have the confidence to dare to fight at such a critical moment? To fight against the opponent's Horn Drill attack, Charizard has to use Dragon Claw. Doesn't he know the effect of the Horn Drill? It shouldn't be, this is unreasonable..."

Listening to Dazhi's muttering, Qiqi, Lian, and Qiao all became nervous. Dazhi was also a finalist in the exhibition competition after all, and had defeated a king-level trainer. They had no reason to doubt Dazhi's judgment.

At the moment when everyone was puzzled, the battle between the Charizard and the Super Armored Rhino was coming to an end.

boom!

The drill-like horn on the head of the super-armored rhinoceros rotated rapidly, piercing the body of the fire-breathing dragon without any accident.

At the same time, the Charizard's claws, shrouded in cyan light, also hit the Super Armored Rhino's head hard.

boom!

Smoke and dust filled the air. Thick smoke enveloped the fireworks, and the sand spread like splashes of water.

On the ground, countless pieces of irregularly shaped gravel shot out from the dust, hitting various places aimlessly.

Lian, who was in the audience seat, subconsciously pushed down Qiao next to him, while she hugged him and stood behind him. Her eyes were closed, her back exposed.

Qiqi, who was sitting in the front row, leaned down to protect the young Ibrahimovic and also closed her eyes tightly.

Dazhi, who was sitting one seat away from her, was very different. He was very calm and calm. He casually took out a Poké Ball and released the Pokémon inside.

That's the collective Pokémon—Turtlefoot Giant Armor.

"Haha, I know you have to be prepared to get injured at any time when you watch this kid's game. Fortunately, I replaced the new Pokémon when I set off, otherwise I would be so awesome." Dazhi crossed his arms on his chest and showed no mercy. He complained, and then said to the turtle-footed giant armor beside him: "Use guard to protect us all!"

"Teck~" The giant turtle-footed armor called out quietly and quickly, then raised its lower claws slightly.

Swish!

A huge and transparent barrier enveloped Dazhi, Qiqi, Lian, and Qiao to resist the gravel that might fall down.

Sensing the existence of the barrier, Lian took Qiao and quickly thanked Dazhi, followed closely by Qiqi and Ibrahimovic.

Dazhi ignored them and just looked ahead silently. From the scene in front of him, it can be proved that there must be a Pokémon in the field that was knocked down by the opponent, so that the raised rocks on the ground could be smashed, forming countless "meteorites" and hitting the spectator seats.

In his opinion, the answer to this battle may be revealed next...
