Elf: I have a deal with the big milk jug

Yan Xiao strolled to the front desk: "Hello, please help me handle the Black Iron level challenge. I have already made an appointment for two battles."

The lady at the front desk nodded: "Okay, you have been matched for a 1v1 match. Your numbers for the two games are No. 77 and No. 119. Please go to the player preparation area and wait for your number to be called."

Yan Xiao took the number plate and nodded to the preparation area aside.

Most of the people here are gearing up, and some are giving instructions on Pokémon training.

He didn't pay much attention, just lowered his head and fiddled with his phone.

Arena battles are divided into two modes.

Silver level has previously adopted a 1v1 blind selection mode. Both parties do not know the opponent's Pokémon in advance and only send one to compete. If either party loses the ability to fight, it will lose.

This mode is extremely random, and levels, attributes, etc. may be suppressed and lead to rapid defeat.

Starting from the Silver level, the competition will adopt a 3v3 open card duel.

Similar to the singles ranking match in previous games, the arena will provide basic information about the six Pokémon on both sides. At the same time, each side will select 3 Pokémon for formation. When 3 Pokémon on one side have completely lost their fighting ability, the Pokémon will be judged. fail.

This mode maximizes the problem of the lineup being targeted and being extremely random, but it also has high requirements for trainers. It requires at least 6 Pokémon, and they must not have common shortcomings with each other.

Secondly, higher requirements are placed on trainers' ability to form troops, tactical design, elf skill pool reserves, etc.

Therefore, it is relatively more balanced and can better reflect the truest strength.

"It's a pity that the lineup has not been completed yet..." Yan Xiao rubbed the little rabbit's furry head and began to think about the next companion.

"Please invite contestants No. 77 and No. 69 to enter venue 3..."

The radio sounded, and Yan Xiao stood up together with another giant man, who was followed by a tall rumble stone.

The big man glanced at Yan Xiao contemptuously, sneered, and walked into the contestant tunnel.

"Isn't that Jon? It seems that Heijintan Pit is not busy at work today. He is here to abuse the children again."

"Isn't that right? His strength has already reached the Bronze level... But he seems to deliberately lose a few times every time he advances, so that he can ensure that he can kill at the Black Iron level."

"Ah? There are still people like this... Why don't they dare to play ranked with me after I join the King?"

"I have pity on this little brother. It's his first match against an opponent he can't win at all. He might end up seriously injured and spend a lot of money on medical expenses..."

Yan Xiao, who has entered the player channel, is not clear about this.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't pay attention.

"Wow—"

As soon as he walked out of the player tunnel, the sound of roaring mountains and tsunami came, making Yan Xiao feel slightly nervous.

Under such public scrutiny, any flaws and small mistakes will be magnified infinitely.

This is also one of the reasons why most e-sports players have problems such as headaches and mental breakdown during live competitions.

The host's commentary sounded: "Viewers, the next duel is a battle at the level of a black iron ceiling!

One of them is everyone's old friend, Jon! ! "After saying that, he waited for a moment, and many spectators began to shout Jon's name.

When the shouts faded, the host continued: "On the other side is the newcomer who has just registered as a trainer, Yan Xiao!"

"Who is this person... I'm afraid it will be difficult to win against Jon..."

"He's a new guy, but he looks quite calm, but I don't know how he's doing."

"I guess we'll be defeated in less than three minutes!"

"No, no, no, no more than two and a half minutes!"

"The matching mechanism of Arena is comparable to that of me playing King of Kings. How can a newbie make his debut against a veteran like Jon? There's no way he can win!"

"Stop talking, I'm going to suffer from PTSD!"

"Looking on the bright side, if this game ends early, we can watch a few more duels!"

"..."

While the audience was talking a lot, the referee had already waved the flag in his hand:

"This duel will pit Jon's Rumblestone from Black Gold City against Yan Xiao's Mini Fu from Manjin City in Johto! Invite Pokémon from both sides to appear!"

"Mini Fu, the decision is yours!"

"Go up to the Rumble Stone and crush it!"

Rumble Stone, which is more than one meter tall, faces Mini Fu, who is less than half a meter tall. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the difference between the two sides.

"This is really a showdown with a huge disparity in strength. However, player Yan Xiao's Pokémon seems to be an unknown entity. I wonder if the information gap can be used to cause some trouble for Longlong Stone? We will wait and see!"

[Rumble Stone lv29 (Intermediate)

Characteristics: Strong (when the physical strength is full, even if it is hit by fatal attacks, it will not be knocked down by one blow.)

Skills: rounding, rolling, sandstorm, rock grinding, rockfall, heavy stepping]

Yan Xiao glanced at his opponent's information and his expression became a little more solemn.

The level gap is a bit big, but fortunately, the grass type has 4 times the resistance to rock + ground rumble stones. It is no problem to break the defense, but you have to find a way to hold up from the opponent's offensive.

After thinking for a long time, Yan Xiao gave his order: "Mini Fu, use Sunny Day!"

Jon sneered: "Rumble Rock, fall rocks to solve it!"

"Huh! When I came up, Longlong Rock created huge rocks and hit Mini Fu, but the little guy didn't seem to react and was still using Da Sunny. If this hit hit Mini Fu's small body, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to withstand it!"

Yan Xiao stared at the petite figure with green light in front of him and clenched his fists.

In fact, Mini Fu has only basically learned how to use it on a sunny day. It has not yet been fully mastered, but it is enough to be used in competitions.

It's just that it's the first time he's participating in an official game and he still needs to withstand the pressure exerted by his opponents.

The boulder was getting closer and closer, Minifu frowned, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Mino..." The little guy looked back at Yan Xiao, one person and one treasure looking at each other.

It saw the trust and encouragement in his eyes, and he also felt its efforts and tension.

"Don't be afraid, Mini Fu, you can definitely do it!"

Mini Fu nodded, and his eyes became more serious. This was the first time it participated in a formal battle on behalf of its owner, and it didn't want to lose!

In a trance, the melodious melody of "Sunny Day" echoed in Mini Fu's ears, and bits of sunlight began to shine through the sky of the arena, and continued to gather and intensify.

"Mi...no——!!!"

As Mini Fu let out a sweet cry, the next moment, the sun suddenly became a little brighter, and she successfully used it on a sunny day!

"Mino~" A sweet smile appeared on Minifu's face, but before she could be happy, a huge boulder hit her face!
