Elf, I am really a farmer

Wen Qi walked forward with steady steps, his eyes revealing some concern and thought.

He first looked at the dejected Wang Li, patted his shoulder lightly, and spoke in a gentle but unquestionable teaching voice:

"Wang Li, don't be too depressed. You fought very bravely in this battle. It's great to have such a performance in your first battle."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Jiang Xiao and nodded slightly.

"Jiang Xiao, you have also demonstrated excellent tactical qualities and know how to use attribute restraint. This is your advantage."

Wang Li raised his head, his eyes full of anticipation, as if he was eager to draw strength from the owner's words.

Jiang Xiao straightened his back and listened quietly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He wanted to hear what insights the gym leader could give.

Wen Qi cleared his throat and continued:

"Wang Li, let's analyze your problem first.

At the beginning of the battle, you find that your opponent is Houndoom. Although you are aware of the attribute restraint, you are a little panicked.

This is very fatal in actual combat. Once the mentality is unbalanced, subsequent command is prone to errors. "

He frowned slightly and stared at Wang Li with a sharp gaze.

“Just like when Houndoom used its flamethrower, you told the forest lizard to dodge it at high speed. This was correct, but in your panic, you didn’t think about your next response.

If we could predict in advance and command the forest lizards to use their positional advantage after high-speed movement to launch a counterattack, perhaps the situation would be very different."

Wang Li nodded thoughtfully, biting his lower lip tightly, as if secretly memorizing it in his heart.

"Besides, at a critical moment in the battle, such as when Houndoom is using its full power to spray flames, it would be risky to let the Forest Lizard take the lead.

Although the forest lizard had energy balls to resist, it was obviously consuming too much energy.

At this point, you could have chosen a more flexible tactic, such as letting the Forest Lizard take advantage of the environment, find cover, disperse Houndoom's firepower, and then wait for an opportunity to strike."

As Wen Qi spoke, he gestured with his hands, simulating possible battle scenarios, his eyes full of regret, as if he had already re-planned the perfect path for this battle in his mind.

Jiang Xiao listened attentively and nodded slightly from time to time.

Wen Qi turned to look at him, with a look of appreciation and reminder:

"Jiang Xiao, your use of tactics is commendable, but it also has flaws.

You relied too much on Houndoom's strong attack, and did not fully consider the level advantage of the opponent's Forest Lizard when the attribute restraint was dominant.

When the Forest Lizard uses the Leaf Blade to defend and then launches a counterattack, you should adjust your strategy in time to let Houndoom keep a distance and avoid close combat.

After all, its physical strength will be depleted faster in this kind of confrontation."

Wen Qi shook his head slightly, as if he felt sorry for Jiang Xiao's missed opportunity.

“Also, when Houndoom was running out of energy, you still insisted on asking it to use its skills at full strength. This is like drinking poison to quench thirst.

You should pay attention to its status, switch Pokémons at the right time, preserve your strength, or use Houndoom's skill characteristics to adopt harassment and containment tactics to pave the way for subsequent battles."

Wen Qi crossed his arms and looked at the two of them with a determined look.

"A battle is not only a test of the Pokémon's strength, but also a test of the trainer's tactics and mentality.

You all have a lot of room for improvement, and I hope to see your growth in the next match."

Wang Li and Jiang Xiao looked at each other, their eyes lit with fighting spirit, and they said in unison:

"Thank you for your guidance, I will do better next time!"

Wen Qi looked at them and smiled with relief. That smile seemed to contain infinite expectations for their future.

Then, Wen Qi turned to Jiang Xiao and said in a friendly manner:

"Jiang Xiao, take Houndoom to the treatment room next door for treatment. You can go and claim your badge and reward when you're done. I hope to see more outstanding performances from you in the future."

Jiang Xiao was filled with gratitude and quickly thanked Wen Qi, then took the wounded Houndoom to the treatment room.

Although Wang Li was comforted by Wen Qi, he still felt sad because he lost the battle.

The other five people who witnessed this situation also understood that Wang Li had tried his best and lost only because of bad luck.

But this battle undoubtedly sounded a wake-up call for them. Those who came to challenge the gym were definitely not ordinary people.

Most of them have much more combat experience than them, so we have to be extra careful in future battles.

The subsequent challenges are still continuing. Sometimes it is the apprentice's turn to take the stage, and sometimes the challenger is stronger. In this case, Wen Qi has to take action himself.

Wen Qi's outstanding command in the battle and his precise control of the battle rhythm made the apprentices admire him very much.

They also noticed that the gym owner didn't seem to be using his full strength at all. As long as the challenger performed well, the gym owner would almost let the opponent win.

In this regard, except for Wenhua and his sister who knew Wenqi better, the other apprentices were puzzled.

They didn't understand why the gym leader wanted to lose on purpose, but they also figured that there must be some hidden meaning behind this.

As for the apprentices' battle, they only won two out of six matches, which was a tragic loss.

The two winners were Li Changhai and Wenhua, which made the other losers feel bad, especially Li Changhong, who was very unwilling to accept the result.

He never thought that he would lose, but he was defeated in the end. This was really hard for him to accept, but that was the reality. Losing was losing, and there was nothing he could do to change it.

However, Li Changhong was still a little unconvinced that Wenhua could win. After all, Wenhua's usual performance was just average.

He was no match for himself at all. He felt that Wenhua could win, but he was just lucky and met an easier opponent, otherwise he would not have been able to win.

Wen Qi didn't care much about whether they won or lost. After all, they had too little combat experience, and it was reasonable for them to lose when facing such experienced challengers.

He just felt that they had to focus on strengthening their combat experience in the future.

So Wen Qi encouraged them and said earnestly:

"Go back and train hard. If you want to fight a Pokémon, go to the Dragon King Scorpion tribe in the gym. I've already contacted them, so go ahead if you want to challenge them.

Of course, if you want to compete with other elves, you can also challenge the Bobo family and the Mosquito family on my farm.

But remember to bring food with you. No matter you win or lose the battle, you must give food to the elves as a reward.

If you have completed all these challenges, I still have a team of Scythers in my farm, you can go and try if you are interested. "

When the students heard this, except for the Wenhua siblings, no one else had expected that the owner of the gym had so many elves at hand.

They couldn't help but be amazed. No wonder the owner said he was not short of money. If he didn't have some financial resources, he really couldn't afford to support these elves.
