Elf, I am really a farmer

After listening to Wen Qi's words, Apprentice Xiong tilted his head slightly and thought for a moment, and felt that what he said made some sense.

It thought to itself: "Yes, I am not without a way out. If he dares to deceive me, I can just ignore him and leave him."

However, the unwillingness to give in in its heart still persisted, and it was unwilling to give in so easily.

So, it raised its voice and said with a hint of stubbornness and temptation: “I can surrender to you first, but you must send a Pokémon to defeat me.

Only in this way will I be willing to surrender first. Do you think this is feasible?"

It straightened its body and stared at Wen Qi closely, with a look that contained both compromise and anticipation for a fight. Its little paws were scratching the ground restlessly, as if it was gathering strength for the upcoming battle.

Wen Qi looked his bear disciple up and down, secretly estimating its strength in his mind.

Although it is already at the quasi-king level, its racial value is less than four hundred. In his opinion, this strength is not very strong.

The image of the giant mantis suddenly appeared in his mind. With the ability of the giant mantis, defeating the bear apprentice should be a piece of cake.

Thinking of this, Wen Qi nodded without hesitation, a hint of confidence and calmness flashed in his eyes, and he said in a firm tone:

"Okay, I promise you."

He raised his chin slightly and stood tall, showing full confidence in his Pokémon's abilities.

In the small world, Wen Qi's mind moved slightly, and he immediately performed the summoning technique.

He saw a strange light flashing, and the Giant Mantis, which was training hard in the depths of space and fighting fiercely with the imprisoned Pokémon, was teleported in front of him.

As soon as the giant mantis appeared, its huge and extremely sharp pincers were still shaking slightly in the air due to inertia. It was obvious that its mind was still deeply immersed in the aftermath of the fierce battle just now and had not yet completely extricated itself.

Its eyes, which were originally as bright and sharp as an eagle's, now revealed a trace of confusion and bewilderment.

The mind, which was running at high speed and fully focused on dealing with the battle, seemed to be suddenly paused by an invisible hand at this moment, and there was no time to sort out the sudden change of scene.

However, Gigantis is indeed a battle-hardened and well-trained Pokémon.

When its extremely sharp eyes captured Wen Qi's figure, it quickly understood the current situation in just a moment.

Its metallic body trembled slightly. This slight tremor seemed to be its most sincere respect to its master. It also seemed to be silently indicating that it was fully prepared and waiting for its master's orders at any time.

Wen Qi looked at the giant mantis quietly, his eyes full of trust and expectation, his expression calm and composed.

He slowly said, "Giant Mantis, you can fight with the bear disciple and just defeat him."

His voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty that echoed in the space like a huge bell and reached the ears of the giant mantis clearly.

When the giant mantis heard that there was a combat mission, its eyes, which were originally sharp as if they could see through everything, suddenly burst into an extremely hot light, like two burning flames, completely igniting the desire for battle in its heart.

It excitedly danced its huge pincers, quickly drawing arcs of cold light in the air. Each swing was accompanied by a crisp "click" sound, as if it was playing a passionate war song for the upcoming battle.

Its iron-hard body leaned forward slightly, and its head spun quickly like a nimble gyroscope. With its keen perception, it quickly locked onto the bear apprentice not far away.

For the bear disciple, it was indeed the first time he had met the giant mantis in his life.

However, as a legendary Pokémon, it instinctively sensed the powerful aura emanating from the stranger in front of it.

Although the bear apprentice has evolutionary shortcomings due to his low racial value, his quasi-king-level strength is definitely not just a name or bluff.

Especially the unique and sharp aura it possesses as a legendary Pokémon, which is like an invisible yet extremely oppressive pressure that permeates the surrounding space like a tide.

A sense of caution surged in the mantis' heart. It slightly retracted its huge claws, and the intricate patterns on the metal shell.

At this moment, it seemed to become even deeper and more mysterious, as if it was gathering all its strength to prepare for this challenging confrontation.

Apprentice Xiong also did not dare to slack off or relax at all.

Its eyes were fixed on the giant mantis, full of vigilance, as if it was examining an extremely dangerous enemy.

It noticed that the giant mantis was much taller than the same kind it had seen at General Zhou's place, and the strong fighting spirit emanating from its body was like a surging, never-ending wave, strongly impacting its perception wave after wave.

Apprentice Bear was secretly assessing his opponent's strength. Although he could rely on his keen intuition to feel that the current level of the giant mantis was only in the late gym, the powerful aura hidden deep inside and looming in the air made him feel uneasy.

"I'm afraid this battle will be disastrous." The bear disciple sighed silently in his heart, but the inherent pride in his bones did not allow him to have the slightest thought of retreating.

"Since we have made an agreement, we have no choice but to fight!"

The bear disciple secretly encouraged himself, he took a deep breath, and his originally naive and seemingly clumsy body instantly tensed up, with all his muscles bulging as if containing endless power.

A powerful quasi-king aura surged out of its body like a volcanic eruption, sweeping towards the giant mantis.

This momentum was like a substance. Wherever it passed, the surrounding air seemed to be squeezed by this powerful force and became heavy. One could even hear a faint whistling sound echoing in the air.

The giant mantis felt the powerful momentum of the bear apprentice coming towards it, but instead of showing any fear or retreating, it seemed that its fighting spirit was completely aroused and became even stronger from deep within its heart.

It let out a loud and clear cry towards the sky. The sound was sharp and piercing, just like the sound of a violent collision between metals, breaking the original silence of the space.

Then, all its fighting spirit was released without reservation, transforming into a surging, tangible energy wave, which collided violently with the bear apprentice's momentum.

In an instant, it seemed as if countless electric currents were flashing and jumping in the air, making a "sizzling" sound. The space where the two auras intersected was slightly distorted and deformed, as if it was being rubbed wantonly by an invisible giant hand.

The smell of gunpowder from the battle instantly filled the entire space, and a thrilling and exciting showdown was about to break out.
