Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

"Giant Mantis, continue with the metal claws..."

"Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus, continue to hide in the rock, and defend with all your strength..."

"Hey," came the voice of the Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus. It was fine and it was not afraid of water, otherwise it would not know how to surf.

Whoosh whoosh—

As the sound of breaking air appeared in the smoke and dust, Yu Hai knew that it was the noise caused by the friction between the giant mantis and the air due to its too fast speed. He hoped that the Tyrannosaurus Rex could hold on.

Dang Dang Dang——

The collision between the metal claws and the rock armor caused a friction sound to be heard from the white smoke, and the shock wave also swept away all the smoke and dust, allowing Ukai, Shingo, and the audience to see the situation clearly.

The Giant Mantis is constantly attacking the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The Tyrannosaurus Rex can only raise its arms to defend itself, and occasionally control rocks to attack itself, but each time it only attacks itself and cannot hit the Giant Mantis because the Giant Mantis is too fast.

When there are too many invisible rocks to affect activities, the giant mantis will use sword dance to form a tornado to suck away the rocks and water cannons. At this time, the Tyrannosaurus will take the opportunity to use flame jets.

After three or four consecutive fire and rain prayers, there was a loud bang, and the entire battlefield was blown into pits and holes. There was no grass on the green grass field, and the Armored Tyrannosaurus also fell down.

"The Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus finally fell. Has Ukai encountered this situation? What kind of elves will he send out next? Will he use the same tactics again? Is there any deep meaning behind the tactics just now?"

"The tactics just now?" Shingo didn't understand why Yu Hai did this. The tactics just now were just to use fire to roast the giant mantis, and then cool it down. After so many times, the giant mantis has also proved with facts that it is not afraid of fire.

"Go ahead, Ragnarok," Yu Hai was too lazy to explain everyone's questions. He threw out Ragnarok on his own and chose to use Ragnarok for the second game. Everything was going according to plan.

【Duck-billed Fire Dragon】

[Attribute: Fire]

[Gender: Male]

[Potential: 77.75%]

[Level: 51.19%]

[Features: Flame Body/49.23%]

[Master the moves...]

The Duck-billed Fire Dragon is now over 50 levels, which is enough for the next plan. Yu Hai immediately shouted to the Duck-billed Fire Dragon: "Duck-billed Fire Dragon, use your flames to burn the entire battlefield, so that the battlefield is filled with your flames..."

"Gurgle," when the duck-billed fire dragon heard the flames, it instantly entered the explosion mode, and the characteristics of the flaming body were activated. The entire battlefield suddenly became hot, and even the ground began to melt.

As the duck-billed fire dragon moved, the invisible rocks in the sky that had not been cleared away before were all burned red and turned into sticky magma that fell to the ground.

"It's the Duck-Billed Rathalos. The Duck-Billed Rathalos is melting the ground and changing the environment of the Grass Field. How can the Giant Claw Mantis face the Duck-Billed Rathalos's relentless pressure in this environment..."

"Shh," Although the giant mantis is a king-level elf, the duck-billed fire dragon is approaching. As the duck-billed fire dragon passes by, the ground turns into boiling red magma, scaring the giant mantis so much that it keeps retreating.

"Gurgle," the duck-billed fire dragon also sprayed fire at the ground, with the purpose of melting more ground into magma.

"Giant Mantis, fly up," Shingo realized that he could not stay on the ground any longer, so he could only let the giant mantis fly up and make other plans.

"Duck-billed fire dragon, sunny day, make this summer even more fiery..."

"Gurgle," the duck-billed fire dragon shot a beam of light into the sky, making the sunlight even stronger. Coupled with the bubbling magma on the ground, the battlefield became even hotter.

Even Ukai, Shingo and the referee who were standing outside the energy barrier were sweating profusely. They had already been sweating from the heat. Even with the protection of the energy barrier, they could still feel the heat.

"Damn it, how can I fight this?" Shingo pondered for a moment and saw that the giant mantis was flying in the sky, still having to endure the scorching sun and the earth, and the fragile wings on its back were almost burning.

Moreover, those short wings could not support the giant mantis to fly. At most, it could only stay in the air for a short time. Seeing that Shingo was slow to give the order, the giant mantis could only land to the edge away from Rathalos, where there was still some ground for it to stay.

"Giant Mantis, Air Blade..."

"Yo," Clawman finally heard the trainer's voice and immediately threw several wind blades at Charmander.

But when the wind blade collided with the big character explosion and canceled each other out, the heat waves generated caused the energy barrier to light up frequently. Yu Hai was so hot that he took off his coat, and the same went for Shingo.

The giant mantis that remained in the energy barrier could only endure the environment that was unfavorable to itself and could only silently bear the impact of the heat wave caused by the explosion.

"Duck-billed Fire Dragon, don't stop, keep blasting..."

“What on earth are you thinking about?” Shingo looked up at Ukai on the other side of the smoke and dust, not understanding why Ukai did this. The Giant Mantis was not afraid of fire at all. Even if the entire battlefield was on fire, it still could not hurt the Giant Mantis, but the opponent still insisted on doing so.

"Giant Mantis, quick fight, quick decision, insect chirping interference, tailwind acceleration, high-speed movement, ultimate impact..."

"Swish," the giant mantis blew away the smoke and dust and saw that the duck-billed fire dragon was still breathing fire. Its figure disappeared in a flash, accompanied by a shrill noise, forcing the duck-billed fire dragon to cover its ears.

"Duck-billed Fire Dragon, hold on, sink into the magma and hide..."

"Gurgle," the duck-billed fire dragon tried its best to restrain the interference of insects' chirping. Just as it raised its hand to protect itself, the giant mantis rushed over. The final impact directly knocked the duck-billed fire dragon away and hit it on the energy barrier.

"Gurgle," the duck-billed fire dragon felt uncomfortable after being hit, but its blood was still thicker than that of the catfish king, so it did not fall unconscious due to the impact.

"Gurgle, whoosh," the duck-billed fire dragon saw the giant mantis standing at the position where it was before, where the magma was the hottest and the temperature was the highest. Now the giant mantis could not move because of stiffness, so it immediately opened its mouth and spewed out fire.

"Shh," the giant mantis knew it was powerless to resist, so it could only maintain the posture of attacking the duck-billed fire dragon and barely defend itself with one hand.

The jet of flame hit the guard. Although it avoided the fire attack, the magma under its feet was also a fire attack. The giant claw mantis could only endure it silently and wait for the stiffness to pass. The king elf could not avoid stiffness either, and could only try his best to endure the stiffness brought by the ultimate move.

After a few breaths, the stiff state quickly passed, the giant mantis opened its eyes instantly, flapped its wings rapidly, and attacked the duck-billed fire dragon rapidly under the jet of flames, raised its red pincers, and slammed it at the duck-billed fire dragon.

boom--

The duck-billed fire dragon crashed into the energy barrier. This time it was not as lucky as before and was knocked unconscious at the edge of the battlefield.

"The Duck-billed Rathalos has lost its ability to fight. Please ask Yu Hai to take back the Duck-billed Rathalos and send out the last fighting Pokémon..."

"It's a pity that Charmeleon failed to create a miracle. Will Ukai send out Frog next? Mantis has proven with facts that the King Pokémon cannot be defeated by non-King Pokémon. Ukai only has one Pokémon left. Who will Ukai send out?"

"Yeah, who is it?" Shingo raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. The Giant Mantis had returned to him. Without the heat source of Rathalos, the battlefield was cooling down.

"Go, Mantis," Yu Hai threw the Mantis's Poké Ball without any hesitation. He didn't want to delay for a second because his goal was about to be achieved and there was no need to use a king-level Pokémon now.

“It’s a giant mantis. The one sent by Ukai is also a giant mantis, and it’s a non-king-level giant mantis. Does Ukai still want to challenge the non-king to defeat the king? This battle is Ukai’s last chance. If he fails, he will miss this tournament…”

As the host shouted loudly, everyone's heart was in their throat, because no one believed that three non-king elves, even three quasi-king elves, could defeat the king-level elves, because the previous example showed that the Tyrannosaurus Rex had been defeated.

tick, tick-

“Is it raining? It’s raining? It’s the Giant Mantis that is praying for rain. Is it trying to cool down the battlefield? It’s a good strategy, but it’s convenient for me and Shingo’s Giant Mantis…”

Bahba, bahba——

The raindrops gradually grew larger due to the white steam, and Shingo had no intention of stopping it because rain was also good for his Giant Mantis.

Kaka, kaka——

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

However, no one noticed that the sound of raindrops covered up many other sounds, such as the sound of cracks appearing as the battlefield alternated between hot and cold.

As well as the red armor of the giant mantis, tiny cracks appeared due to repeated roasting and water cooling. Those who have watched the sword forging competition know under what circumstances a sword will break.

"Giant Mantis, it's almost done, sword dance..."

"We can't let it strengthen its attack, Mantis with giant claws, split the tiles..."

"Yo," Shingo's Mantis heard the trainer's words and immediately stood up and rushed towards the Mantis, turning into a red light. Its previous acceleration was still there, so its speed was very fast.

"Swish," Yu Hai's giant mantis felt the sound of breaking air, and the insect's premonition was activated. Sensing a great danger, it left the place after the sword dance ended, and turned into a red stream of light to escape.

"It's a red flash. It's a red flash again. Could it be that Ukai and Shingo are from the same school?"

Two red streaks of light collided and separated rapidly on the battlefield, completely invisible to the naked eye, and their speed was getting faster and faster because both giant mantises were using acceleration moves.

Ukai's Mantis has already incorporated acceleration into its movements, and Shingo's Mantis is obviously doing the same, except...

"What's going on? Shingo's giant mantis is obviously stronger, but why can't we tell which is faster or slower between the two streams of light? They have been colliding for several rounds and there is no clear winner. What's going on? Is the king-level giant mantis tired..."

As the two Mantises stopped, one on the left and one on the right in front of the trainer, everyone's doubts were answered.

"Is it the preemptive moves, Lightning Flash, Bullet Punch, and Bug Premonition? The opponent's goal is still not to cause damage, but to consume the enemy. But why are all three Pokémons using the attack to consume the enemy..."

Shingo was a little confused and muttered to himself, "And there's also the physical strength of the giant claw mantis. Even a king-level elf can't hold on after three consecutive rounds of fighting..."

Shingo looked at the battlefield. His own Mantis was panting, and Ukai's Mantis was also panting.

But this breathing cannot be generalized. The opponent is quite capable as he can force his king-level Mantis to breathe. Can he really use three non-king-level elves to replace his king-level elves? This elimination round ends here.

"Giant Mantis, final blow, ultimate impact..."

"What? The last blow? What the hell? The last blow?" Shingo was confused, but Mantis did not hesitate and rushed towards Shingo's Mantis with its already fully enhanced speed.

"Giant Mantis, let's make one final attack, the ultimate impact..."

"Oh," Mantis looked down at its red pincers. It finally noticed the changes in its body, but it couldn't care less now. It had to help its trainer win, it must win.

boom--

The violent explosion this time lit up the entire energy barrier, and the smoke and dust covered the sky, and even a major earthquake occurred on the battlefield.

It took a long time to wait for the smoke to dissipate, so the referee asked Pidgeot to blow away the smoke, revealing the giant mantises lying on the ground on both sides.

"Two giant mantises..."

"Wait," the host shouted loudly when he saw the referee was about to make a decision. If it was a tie in this situation, there would be an extra game, but there was no tie this time.

"Hey," Shingo's giant mantis slowly stood up, supporting the ground with one hand. At least he didn't faint.

"Cha," Yu Hai's giant mantis also stood up slowly, also supporting the ground with one hand, and also not unconscious.

"What happened? Both giant mantises stood up. Can they still fight?"

"Giant Mantis?" Shingo looked at his own giant mantis, which had a pair of big red pincers, and its chest armor, leg armor, and plastron, all of which were covered with dense black cracks. However, Ukai's giant mantis did not have these cracks.

He recognized what those tiny cracks were at a glance, and finally understood why Yu Hai had repeatedly used fire and rain, and why that final collision was the final ending.

Now, the giant mantis only needs to rest and eat metal food to slowly recover and eliminate the cracks on the red armor, not to mention that he also has the recipe of the ancestral food.

If he had stopped in time, the giant mantis could have been saved.

If he doesn't stop and continues to let Mantis compete, Yu Hai's Mantis may lose, and Yu Hai will be eliminated. In order to move up a rank, Mantis may be gone.

"Come back, Mantis," Shingo understood the whole story and did not think that Ukai was scheming. He was a tactical player, and the other party could think of a three-for-one loss and dared to gamble.

After all, it took three elves to plot against Giant Mantis. After today's battle, the three elves of Giant Mantis have been consumed, so it can forget about fighting again.

"Contestant Shingo has taken back the Giant Mantis. What does Contestant Shingo want to do? Is he not going to fight anymore?"

Shingo's strange behavior aroused the host's suspicion, and he took the microphone and asked questions.

At the same time, the referee also cast a questioning look at Shingo...
