Elf: Wanted to make money by lying down, but became a master

When the giant mantis received Nuo Yu's order, the "red flash" was immediately activated, and it approached the white sea lion along a Z-shaped route.

So fast!

"White sea lion, water tail."

Kona waited until the giant mantis came into attack range and immediately gave the order.

The white sea lion was also very fast, and its big tail wrapped in the water flow fell down.

But they underestimated the combat experience of the giant mantis!

Just when the tail of the water stream was about to hit, the giant mantis suddenly flashed and used its shadow clone to avoid the attack of the white sea lion!

In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the white sea lion and waved its hard big claws.

Continuous chop!

The most powerful offensive method of the giant mantis!

The pair of pliers was swung by it, leaving only afterimages...

boom!boom!

Two muffled sounds were heard.

The calmness on Kona's face disappeared, and he shouted anxiously: "White sea lion, protect!"

Although the initial power of the skill "Continuous Slash" is not strong, its power will be doubled with each hit.

If it continues to be attacked, even if the white sea lion has a level advantage, it will only be defeated.

As soon as he finished speaking, the third consecutive slash came as expected. The white sea lion used its excellent combat skills to take the lead in protecting itself and blocked the giant mantis' attack this time.

Seeing this, the giant mantis did not panic. The pincers in its right hand suddenly emitted a gray-white light and smashed heavily on the white sea lion's head.

It's an alloy claw!

"As expected of you, you have rich combat experience."

Nuo Yu gave him an approving look.

Compared with Arcanine and Lucario, the wild-grown Mantis has more combat experience and knows how to choose the most advantageous method for itself.

The White Sea Lion was not an elf that was good at close combat. In addition, the venue restrictions made it difficult for it to move, and its strength was reduced by half.

And the giant mantis happens to be best at close combat.

Use your own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses!

Who is Kokona?

The Four Heavenly Kings!

I have experienced this situation countless times and I already have ways to deal with it.

"surf."

"Twist!"

Water flowed out from under the white sea lion, lifting it up into the air and avoiding the attack of the giant mantis.

This is not finished!

A moment later, huge waves formed by the water flow scattered from under the feet of the white sea lion, and the surging waves instantly submerged the giant mantis!

"Freezing light!"

"Twist!"

A light blue beam of light spit out from the mouth of the white sea lion. It instantly condensed into ice when it fell on the water surface and continued to spread forward, apparently trying to freeze the giant mantis in the water.

"Giant Mantis, jump out!"

Noyu shouted at the top of his lungs.

The ice spread rapidly, and it was about to freeze the giant mantis...

At this critical moment, the giant mantis broke out of the water and escaped the white sea lion's ice.

"Whoo~"

Nuo Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but the giant mantis that jumped high fell down when it landed.

It was then that Nuo Yu discovered that the ground had turned into an ice field due to the freezing ray...

"Freezing light!"

Kona raised the corner of his mouth and snapped his fingers.

It seems that all this is in her plan!

Before the giant mantis could get up from the ground, the white sea lion's freezing ray had already arrived, completely freezing the giant mantis!

3V1, round-robin battle, Nuo Yu still lost!

After the battle, No Yu asked Nine-Tails to use jet fire to help Mantis break the ice.

After regaining its freedom, Claws exchanged a glance with Windy and Lucario, then lowered their heads at the same time with unwilling expressions.

"Sister Kona... am I a wimp?"

Nuo Yu walked up to Kona dejectedly.

This game was a big blow to him.

Nuo Yu unconsciously developed a sense of pride after winning consecutive games in the wild, but it was only through this battle that he realized his true strength...

Kona didn't answer directly, but asked with a straight face: "How long have you been training the Wind Speed ​​Dogs?"

"About a month." Nuo Yu thought for a moment and answered.

"One month? You're still a novice trainer!"

Kona cried out.

She was indeed disappointed with Nuo Yu's performance before.

In her opinion, since she could gain the recognition of Shirona, her strength must be very strong. It was impossible that three elves could not beat one of her elves.

But if it's a novice trainer, it's a different story.

Seeing Nuo Yu nod in agreement, Kona's expression softened. "If that's the case, you've done very well. You've already got the ability to compete for the regional championship."

Kona's words were definitely not meant to comfort Nuo Yu, but came from the bottom of his heart.

Judging from Nuo Yu's performance just now, Kona feels that he has the ability to compete for the regional championship.

It is not easy to have such strength in just one month!

"Regional tournament champion? Sister Kona, you think too highly of me."

Hearing Kona's evaluation of him, Nuo Yu smiled bitterly.

If it was before this battle, Nuo Yu would have thought that this evaluation was justified, but now... forget it!

Are you hit?

Kona smiled, patted Nuo Yu on the shoulder and said, "Don't underestimate yourself, and don't think that the level of the regional championship is very high. It is just the entry qualification for professional trainers."

"Qualifications for becoming a professional trainer? What do you mean by that?"

Nuo Yu looked at Kona in confusion.

His understanding of some of the power level divisions in this world is indeed limited.

"It seems that you don't know much about this matter. Then I will explain it to you."

"Trainers are divided into two categories: professional trainers and amateur trainers. The threshold between the two is the regional tournament champion."

"Only those who have won the regional tournament championship are eligible to take the professional trainer exam. If you pass the exam, you will become a gym-level trainer and embark on the path of a professional trainer. If you fail, you will be called an elite trainer, and the rest will be amateur trainers."

Noyu interrupted, "Gym-level trainer?"

"That's right! You don't think that the gym leader will be easily defeated by a bunch of young men like you, do you? Those are their second and third teams, and they are used for inspection."

"After winning the regional tournament, you can challenge any gym leader's main lineup. If you win, you will be a gym-level trainer and become a reserve gym leader. If a gym leader retires or gets promoted, a gym-level trainer will fill in."

"The next level up from gym-level trainers is a king-level trainer like me. To become a king-level trainer, you have to challenge the main lineup of a king and win. The same goes for the champion-level trainers above that."

"In addition to professional trainers and amateur trainers, there is another type of trainer called a legendary trainer!"

"Their command levels vary, but the elves they hold are legendary elves, and they fight based on their own talents."

"There is only one well-known person at the moment, and that is the God Era who possesses the Rock God Pillar Regirock!"

"But don't underestimate Kamishiro. Even without Regirock, Kamishiro is still a top-level trainer."
