Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

The fifty-eighth day on the journey to the Kanto region was cloudy.

Today is the semi-finals of the Quartz Conference. There are only two games today, one in the morning for Group A and one in the afternoon for Group B.

The last match of the two groups will decide tomorrow's finalists. As a player in Group B, he will naturally play in the afternoon match. He had a rare late sleep this morning, so it won't be too late to go there in the afternoon.

He slept until after ten o'clock, then got up, washed, fed the elves breakfast, and went to the cafeteria for lunch. This cafeteria will provide free food and accommodation until the end of the Quartz Conference. Some eliminated contestants can also receive food with their participation certificates.

During lunch, many people noticed him with Ibrahimovic and greeted him. After all, even if he lost this time, he was still a top four player and everyone respected such a player.

Of course, there were some little black men, but they didn't slander him in person, and Yu Hai didn't care, after all, the mouth was on someone else's body.

After taking Ibrahimovic to have lunch, he headed to the main venue of the Quartz Conference. The semi-finals of Group A had already ended, and it was no surprise that Lei Si won.

Lei Si’s opponent in the semi-finals is Lily, who was ranked third in the previous anime and will most likely be third this time. We’ll have to wait and see the final battle for third place to find out.

His opponent is Taro. This little brat's Talon suppressed his opponent's Pokémon yesterday, making it difficult for him not to advance.

When he arrived at the contestant lounge, he rested for a while and sat there until two o'clock in the afternoon. The semi-finals began and the host was notifying him to enter.

"Please welcome contestant Taro from Kanto and contestant Ukai from the Orange Islands. One is a rookie who has only been a trainer for two months, and the other is the biggest dark horse of this tournament. Who will win this semi-final?"

"Taro, Taro, Taro..."

"Ukai, Ukai..."

After Ukai and Taro entered the arena, Taro's popularity was obviously higher. After all, he was a local trainer in Kanto, while Ukai was a trainer from another place. If a trainer from another place won the championship, wouldn't it mean that they had no one in Kanto...

But the victory or defeat in the arena cannot be determined by the audience's shouting slogans. Instead, Taro becomes their last hope because Ukai and Reiji are not trainers from the Kanto region.

"Hi, didn't expect that we meet again?" Taro stood on the contestant platform and waved to Yu Hai. He was afraid that Yu Hai didn't recognize him, so he shouted very loudly.

"Yes, yes, nice to see you again, little brat," Yu Hai's weak tone really asked for a beating, and just one sentence was enough to make the little brat opposite him so angry that his teeth itched.

"Qikexiu, I am your opponent, can you please be more serious with me?" Taro's fists hardened, his defense was broken, and he cursed at Yu Hai.

"Let's start quickly," Yu Hai picked his ears, feeling that these kids were really annoying and just wanted the referee to start quickly.

"In this Group B semi-final, we will use the normal battle field, and there are six Pokémons that can be used. Please take your positions and release your first Pokémons together..."

"Go, Snorlax..."

"Go ahead, Butterfree..."

"It's Snorlax and Butterfree. What kind of sparks will these two Pokémon create when they collide?"

"Snorlax?" Yu Hai looked at the Snorlax, not knowing whether it was the thick fat characteristic or the immune characteristic.

Immune (trait): Pokémon with this trait will not fall into the poisoned or highly poisoned state. If a Pokémon that has fallen into the poisoned or highly poisoned state gains this trait, the poisoned or highly poisoned state will be eliminated.

Thick Fat (Attribute): When a Pokémon with this Attribute is attacked by an Ice or Fire attribute move, the opponent's Attack or Special Attack is halved during damage calculation.

These two characteristics are both very good defensive characteristics. If it is the immune characteristic, Butterfree's poison powder will be useless. If it is the thick fat characteristic, the power of ice and fire attribute moves will be halved.

Fortunately, Snorlax is not as fast as Butterfree, so it is easier to fight him.

"Butterfield, paralysis powder..."

"Snorlax, belly drum..."

"What?" Ukai saw Snorlax take a deep breath, consume half of his strength to use his belly drum, and strengthen his attack, and then heard Taro shouting.

"Snorlax, go to sleep..."

As Kapimon began to snore, the paralyzed body that had just inhaled the paralysis powder returned to normal and fell into a sleeping state.

“Good fellow, this is how we play it, huh?” Ukai thought it was interesting, and shouted to Batouchou: “Keep paralyzing the powder…”

"Snorlax, talking in your sleep..."

"Bardaeye, use poison powder..."

"Mmmmm," Butterfree first shook off a large ball of paralysis powder on Snorlax, and then shook off a large ball of purple poison powder from its wings.

The inhalation of two uncomfortable powders interrupted Snorlax's sleep talking. Snorlax was twitching all over in his sleep. He was paralyzed by the paralyzing powder, but there were no symptoms of poisoning.

"Hehe, my Snorlax won't be poisoned," Taro smiled proudly. This Snorlax was the Pokémon he carefully selected.

Compared to the thick fat trait that can enhance resistance to ice and fire, being immune to poisoning means it is not afraid of poison-type moves, and there is no possibility of being worn out. As a blood cow, Snorlax is very durable.

"Since it's an immune trait, just use the silk net to entangle him," Yu Hai raised his hand and shouted. The immune trait doesn't mean that you can't fight, it's just a little more troublesome.

"Snorlax, talking in your sleep..."

"Ha ha ha," Snorlax fell asleep and spit out bubbles. As the bubbles grew bigger, a big blue bubble flew towards Butterfree. It was a yawn move.

Butterfree easily dodged the big blue bubble, threw down an electric net in the air, covered Snorlax, trapped Snorlax in the net, and also electrocuted Snorlax.

"Ha," Snorlax was electrocuted while sleeping, but he was not woken up. After the power grid was turned off, he was still sleeping soundly.

"Butterfield, continue spinning silk to trap Snorlax..."

"Mmmmm," This time, Butterfree did not use an electric net. Instead, it spun silk into a web to trap Snorlax on the ground.

"Barthoun, continuous butterfly dance..."

"Not good," Taro thought to himself when he heard Butterfly Dance. He went to school during the time he was home, so he naturally knew what Butterfly Dance was. He immediately shouted to Snorlax, "Talking in your sleep..."

"Ha, Ha," Snorlax was trapped in a spider web. He struggled to get up, and then was pressed heavily to the ground.

"This? A mountain falling on one's head?" Yu Hai was a little confused. Snorlax used his moves, but it seemed that he didn't use them. He didn't care too much about it, but let Butterfree continue to use Butterfly Dance.

It was not until Butterfree used Butterfly Dance four times and Snorlax used Sleep Talk again, a bite-and-crush move, on the silken web that Snorlax finally woke up.

"Bardaeye, use the hypnotic powder..."

"Mmmmm," Butterfree was right above Snorlax. When it saw Snorlax waking up, it immediately shook off the hypnotic powder. Snorlax was unable to break free from the silk web for a while and was hypnotized by the hypnotic powder again.

"Bardaeye, the ultimate absorption..."

Ultimate Absorption, special move, power 75, absorbs the opponent's nutrients to attack. Give the opponent half the damage and restore physical strength.

Add in Butterfree's four butterfly dances, and the power of the move is 225, which is enough to suck the Snorlax dry.

"Mmmmm," Butterfree spit out spider silk to bind Snorlax, and used Ultimate Absorb to cause damage to Snorlax, while sucking away the green energy from Snorlax, which was Snorlax's physical strength.

The powerful moves have over 200 moves and over 100 damage, which can be converted into physical strength to restore the physical strength consumed by Butterfree.

"Snorlax," Taro looked at Snorlax getting weaker and weaker, and immediately took out the Poké Ball to take Snorlax back.

But with such a good opportunity, how could Ukai let Taro fulfill his wish? He shouted to Butterfree, "Butterfree, block the red light of the Poké Ball..."

"Mmmmm," Butterfree flew into Taro's sight and used its body to block the red light from the Poké Ball that was shining on Snorlax, preventing Taro from taking back Snorlax.

This is allowed in the game. After all, failing to hit the red and retrieve the Pokémon is the same as failing to hit the red light and retrieve the Pokémon. Butterfree is just using its body to interfere with the red light, which is not considered a foul.

"How can it be repaired? It can't be taken back." No matter from which angle Taro shone the red light, Butterfree blocked it with its body. He also kept shaking off hypnotic powder, hypnotizing Snorlax and sucking away Snorlax's physical strength.

After all, it is the fourth-level enhanced speed. Bardieux's current basic speed is two hundred and one. Coupled with the wide field of vision provided by its compound eyes, it is easy for it to block the red light that is retracting Snorlax.

In this way, Snorlax never woke up and was paralyzed. In the end, he was drained of his strength by Butterfree's Ultimate Absorption and was eliminated.

"How can you fix it, Snorlax?" At the referee's signal, Taro took back Snorlax, looked at the Snorlax that had lost weight in the Poké Ball, and the burping Butterfree, and threw out his own Flying-Type Pokémon, Pidgeot.

"Snorlax was taken back. In this match, Snorlax played no role at all. He was trapped by the silk and defeated by Butterfree. Contestant Taro's second Pokémon is... Pidgeot..."

"Beep, beep..." As soon as Pidgeot came out, he saw Butterfree. They are in the food chain.

“It’s not impossible for Butterfree to fight against Pidgeot,” Yu Hai thought about it. Now Butterfree has enhanced its fourth-level speed, fourth-level attack, and fourth-level special defense, so it can give it a try.

"Pidot, move over at high speed, Steel Wing..."

“Oh, they’re coming on strong,” Yu Hai smiled. He must have been very frustrated in the previous match, and his opponent must want to get back at him. He also shouted to Batouchou, “Battouchou, Shadow Clone…”

"Beep, beep," Pidgeot was very fast. By moving at high speed and accelerating, his speed was almost the same as that of Butterfree.

But Butterfree was faster. Before Pidgeot flew over, it had already split into eight clones and surrounded Pidgeot in the middle.

"Butterfield, paralysis powder..."

"Pidot, Storm..."

"Beep, beep," when Pidgeot saw the paralyzing powder coming, he immediately flapped his wings to create a strong wind, blowing away the paralyzing powder that Butterfree had just released, while also exposing Butterfree's true form.

"Butterfield, hold on..."

"Mmmm," Butterfree saw that Pidgeot was coming at her aggressively and could only defend herself to resist. She had just used the paralysis powder and no time to dodge.

"Beep, beep," Pidgeot rushed into Shouzhu, still a little dizzy, and shook his head in the air.

"Bardaeye, it's now, insects are chirping..."

"Mmmmm," Butterfree opened its mouth and made a sharp, piercing sound towards the eagle, like nails scratching on a blackboard. It was still such a close distance, only two or three meters between them.

"Beep, beep," Pidgeot couldn't stand the sound and fell to the ground in a spin...

"Butterfield, the power grid..."

"Pidot, hold on," Taro saw Pidgeot lose his balance and was about to fall to the ground. An electric net flew down from the sky, and Pidgeot could only use "Hold on" to resist.

"Beep, beep," Pidgeot chirped, and the insects stopped chirping. It immediately adjusted its flying posture and soared into the sky with the electric net as its support.

"Ba Dadie, insect chirping..."

"Mmmm," Butterfree faced the Pidgeot that was rushing towards it again and used sonic attacks to defend the electric net, but it could not block the sound.

Pidgeot was knocked down again by the sharp sound. His hold on life was limited. Although the power of the power grid was gone, the silken web was still there, trapping Pidgeot on the ground.

"Ba Dadie, good opportunity, continue the power grid..."

"Pidot, fly up and attack with the divine bird..."

"Beep, beep," Pidgeot didn't have much silk on his body, and he barely flew up, and even hit the electric fence. Enduring the electric shock from the grid, Pidgeot stayed away from Butterfree's attack range.

The electric net was not able to take down Pidgeot in one go, so Pidgeot began to accelerate in the air. The heat brought by the high-speed flight caused the spider silk on his body to melt quickly. Without the restraint of the spider silk, Pidgeot's sharp eyes also fixed on Bardieu.

"Bardaeye, Storm..."

Ukai wanted Batoid to use a storm to block the attack of the Divine Bird, but it was useless.

Storm was pushed away by the aggressive Pidgeot, and he could only let Butterfree use an electric net to block in front of him.

"Bardaeye, use the electric net first, then use telekinesis to protect yourself..."

"Mmmmm," Butterfree knew that this was the final blow, and spit out several electric nets in succession, throwing them at the rushing Pidgeot.

But Pidgeot didn't care at all, and rushed towards Butterfree. He turned into a blue stream of light at an extremely fast speed in the air and passed through Butterfree. There was a collision and explosion in the air, and Butterfree fell from the smoke and fell into a coma.

Pidgeot made a big circle and landed on Taro's side of the competition venue, his body covered with a web woven from silk.

"Butterfly has lost its ability to fight. Please ask Ukai to take back Butterfly..."

"Come back, Butterfree," Ukai took Butterfree back with a Poké Ball, silently comforted Butterfree twice, let Butterfree have a good rest, then took out a new Poké Ball and threw it out.

"Go, big-billed gull..."

"It's Pidgeot, Ukai's first Flying-type Pokémon. Can it defeat the brave and fearless Pidgeot? Eh? Something's wrong? Pidgeot seems to be in pain. Is he in some abnormal state?"

The host's words came to an abrupt end, and everyone followed the host's gaze and looked at Pidgeot below.

Pidgeot cleaned up the silk on his body, but his whole body was twitching, obviously paralyzed. The last few power grids were not useless, they were still of some use.

"Che Kexiu, it's paralyzed," Taro used the Poké Ball to take back Pidgeot. There was no point in continuing to fly Pidgeot in a paralyzed state. Not only was the speed reduced, but it was also prone to crashing.

"Taro chose to take back Pidgeot. Please both players release their Pokémons. Ukai will attack first..."
