Xiaozhi's Pokémon Pigeon

At the Quartz Conference, there are no groups and no heavyweight competitions.

This is the best opening ceremony that Kanto has held in recent years, but it is also the stupidest one. Maybe this game will not only discourage newcomers, but also a group of new generation gym leaders.

After a day and night of discussion, Xiaozhi and Aoki both stepped onto the battlefield of the round of 16 qualifying match at the same time.

As a referee for the Round of 16, it was the first time I saw the players dressed so neatly:

Xiaozhi's hair was messy, his hat was tilted, and his eyes were dark circles as he yawned;

The same goes for Aoki. His tie, which symbolizes a social person, is tied very messily, but he yawns very neatly and has dark circles under his eyes.

Were these two people unable to sleep well because they were excited?

The referee couldn't help but think wildly. Although every year there are contestants who are particularly excited because it is their first time to participate in the conference competition, this is the first time that two contestants did not sleep well together in the round of 16.

"morning!"

Looking at Xiaozhi opposite him, Aoki didn't expect that Xiaozhi, who spoke with a honey-like mouth yesterday, would be his opponent today.

Now I have to be serious.

Aoki rubbed his eyes, straightened his suit and tie, and instantly became energetic.

It is obvious at first glance that he is a natural worker, and Palu only dares to call himself Xiao Qingmu.

This super newbie has offended many people with his words.

"Morning, uncle.

I will try my best! "

Xiaozhi pulled himself together and adjusted his hat. After working hard in the RPG system every night for the past few months, Xiaozhi often stayed up late.

Pikachu was even more spirited. It jumped off Xiaozhi's shoulder, wanting to be the first to appear:

Look, I’ll be the first to reach the top of the city wall and take the first credit!

As the spectators arrived one after another and the referee lowered the red flag, the qualifying round for the top 16 finally officially began.

“This time I am representing the Padiya region.

General attributes...ordinary...common...ordinary...not unusual.

This fits in with my lack of personality, and I like it that way.”

Aoki began his chant before the battle, but his map cannon was a little too powerful.

In the audience, Wu Si, with a fallen street lamp on his head, was listening to Aoki's pre-war chant with a gentle smile:

What does it mean that normal Pokémon have no personality?

I can even take out my three sons to fight crickets, this is called having no personality. This is so bloodthirsty, and you actually say I have no personality!

Good, good, good!

You want to eat all the pears! (Sanctions Guangli)

But Aoki's pre-war chant has not yet ended:

“People and Pokémon should be as simple as possible. The world always looks at people who are weird, eccentric, and unconventional differently.

Maybe traveling is pleasant, but returning home is still the most comfortable.

Yes, simplicity is the best! "

Wu Si was just thinking about how to bring some warmth to Padiya, but Qing Mu's words "simplicity is the strongest" made Wu Si's mouth slightly raised:

well said.

Look at this kid Aoki, he has been able to speak since he was young, how can he be so knowledgeable!

I really envy his talent.

"My Pokémon, go!"

Along with the Pokémon thrown by Aoki, a warrior eagle appeared on the battlefield.

Aoki is good at the General (Flying) type.

In this era, there are many people who are good at flying. They may be the overlord of a region, or the king of a region, or even the champion of a league somewhere (I am not specifically referring to the Johto League champion, the Dragon King Adu).

But there is only one flying emperor in the world!

"Since my opponent is using a Flying-type Pokémon, my first Pokémon is..."

Xiaozhi was about to take out the Pidgeot, but then he thought: No rush!

Xiaozhi still doesn't know what type of trainer Aoki is, so it's a bit risky to just take out a Flying-type Pokémon.

From the discussion last night, it can be seen that Aoki seems to be very "average", which is the most difficult enemy. He does not have any weaknesses, but is very good at catching the weaknesses of the enemy.

When the wooden boards of a "bucket" are all the same level, you should not rush to achieve quick results.

"Let's go Squirtle!"

Pikachu did volunteer to be the first to reach the top of the city wall and take the first credit, but the enemy in this game was very strong, the strongest enemy encountered in the Quartz Conference so far.

Don't be rash, you must proceed step by step.

Squirtle has evolved into Squirtle. Its operations and techniques can be used to test to the greatest extent, and it can also break the hidden dangers and traps buried by the opponent.

After two months of special training, the Squirtle of that year, now Squirtle, is the most useful "engineer" in Xiaozhi's hands!

"Kami!"

As Xiaozhi threw the Poké Ball, a white light flashed and Stolett stood in the arena.

Unlike Charmander's evolution which increases stats and Bulbasaur's evolution which improves mechanics, Squirtle's evolution adds the most to its brain.

At this moment, Card Stottle had a sharp eye. After judging the flying height of the Warrior Eagle and the surrounding rocky area at first glance, he already had a general idea in his hard turtle head.

Use "insurance" first.

"Warrior Eagle "Substitute"!"

Aoki took action. This was not a game, nor an anime, so Aoki chose to use the fighting method of an adult.

"Substitute", Xiaozhi has seen this skill before, so he naturally knows the effect.

"I won't give you a chance, Squirtle, use the "Water Gun"!"

The Water Pokémon's Water Gun attack is equivalent to Blue-Silver Coil. You can despise it, but you have to use it.

Because only by using the Water Gun can you prove that you are an authentic Water Pokémon player.

"Use wings to separate the water gun and create a "double" at the same time."

He did not choose to increase the flying height of the Warrior Eagle, but instead broke through the water gun head-on.

Aoki's command is mature:

Ash's Pokémon relies heavily on speed, and Stottle's water gun's attack speed is too fast. If the flying altitude is increased rashly, the first-hand "stand" tactic will definitely be destroyed.

On the contrary, it is not conducive to the subsequent battle layout.

Although using wings to block the water gun seems like a stupid move at first glance:

If the wings of a Flying-type Pokémon get wet, its flying altitude will be affected, and the Pokémon's physical energy will also be lost due to the moisture on its wings.

But that didn't matter to Aoki.

Aoki was too modest when he said that he was good at Pokémon without any personalities. In fact, he should be good at Pokémon that have no weaknesses.

Is flight altitude affected?

Then why not come down and fight?

Aoki wants to use close combat to decide the outcome with Stotle.

Xiaozhi was surprised that Aoki did not dodge but continued to create substitutes.

If Aoki increases his altitude, his substitute creation will fail, but now Aoki is not dodging or evading, which is exactly not the result that Stolett and Xiaozhi want to see.

Fortunately, Ash and Stottle can cope with such changes: Stottle carries a "missing insurance" to deal with this kind of enemy.

"Squirtle seizes the opportunity and uses Water Cannon."

"Water Cannon" is a powerful move of water-attribute Pokémon. Now that Warrior Eagle has water on its wings, its flying altitude will be reduced.

This gives Stottle the possibility of hitting with its "Water Cannon" special move. Similarly, if Aoki chooses to escape at this time, it will trigger Stottle's miss insurance, thereby increasing Stottle's speed.

If you don't dodge, you will be hit by the "water cannon", and the substitute you created with great difficulty will be useless;

If you dodge, it will trigger my miss insurance, and then you won't have the right to attack first in the future.

This is the Pokémon conspiracy!

But Aoki was no pushover. When he heard about Xiaozhi's "Water Cannon" trick, he had a rough idea in his mind:

"Warrior Eagle, turn your body sideways and charge directly at Squirtle!"

Now that the "substitute" has been created successfully, it will "exchange blood" with you. The substitute is created with a quarter of the health, and its wings have been soaked by Squirtle's water gun. At this moment, the blood exchange is a sure win.

The way adults play is so plain and boring.

There aren't even many changes: stand-in plus blood exchange, this is a very basic idea, but it is much more practical than those fancy tactics that Xiaozhi encountered.

Simplicity is really the best!

The Warrior Eagle spread its wings at low altitude. It followed Aoki's instructions and flew sideways as much as possible. Although Stottle's "Water Cannon" looked very ferocious, its attack power was not too strong.

Flying sideways, the Warrior Eagle's high flying speed made its wings like blades paddling water cannons, but it appeared in front of Stottle.

"Adults always like to throw away broken jars, and they won't cherish their wings that are already wet."

As Aoki muttered something that sounded like an exclamation, Warrior Eagle knocked Squirtle away.

Not only is his movement agile, his speed and strength are also impeccable.

Xiaozhi felt something was wrong:

"Cram Squirtle, can you stand up again?"

After hearing what Xiaozhi said, Stottle supported himself by doing push-ups.

What are you doing?

It hurts so much when these big birds from other places fight!

"Kami!"

Stottle said that he was fine, but he didn't expect the opponent to play by his own rules.

I originally thought that Aoki would let the Warriors Eagle choose to escape, but I didn't expect that he would directly exchange injuries for injuries.

Is this a gap in combat experience?

Not like!

Aoki has only been an official Pokémon trainer for about a year. Although Padia is a higher education institution in Unova, the true alliance was only established recently.

Before the establishment of the Padia Alliance, Aoki was just a small clerk. How could he have the time to do extensive training?

When Pokémon trainers compete, it’s not just the Pokémon themselves that are competing, but also the trainers’ judgment and intelligence gathering and response methods on the battlefield.

"Could it be..."

The plan to use the "empty insurance" failed. This Aoki is indeed not easy to deal with. But Xiaozhi thought of a possibility. Next, he wanted to confirm whether Aoki was so decisive for this reason.

"Squirtle, use Shell Break!"

Following Ash's order, Stotle took a step back. Its body was filled with a blue energy field. With a cry of "Stotle", the blue energy began to harden and break like an eggshell.

And what about Aoki?

He lowered his head. Aoki was not afraid of Stottle, whose abilities were enhanced after the "Shell Breaking" skill was activated.

Anyway, adults’ fighting styles and tactics are fixed!

The "stand-in" for the Warriors Eagles is still there, and it is to their advantage to continue to trade injuries.

"Warrior Eagle, "Rip Claw"!"

Either don't attack, or don't stop once you attack. Just like when you reach middle age, with mortgages, car loans, and a girlfriend, how can you just lie down on this road of struggle?

By the way, you don’t have to pay the car loan before, and it will be exempt from inspection for six years.

The Warrior Eagle launched an attack again, revealing its sharp claws and swung them at Stottle.

The powerful wind pressure caused by the waving of the claws was like a knife, and even the rocks next to Stottle were left with several marks under the wind blade.

As for Stotle, there were scratches on its face due to wind pressure, but Stotle remained unmoved and was waiting for Ash's instructions.

Card Squirtle is waiting for an opportunity to take action.

Finally the opportunity has come!

When Aoki's Warrior Eagle spread its wings and swooped down in front of Stottle, Xiaozhi immediately made a decision:

"Squirtle, use Rocket Headbutt!"

Seeing the claws about to fall on her head, Cammy slid to the belly of the Warrior Eagle:

Ever since his skull was cracked by a strong man, Stottle has become very confident in his head.

This blue turtle's head is very hard!

"Rocket Headbutt"!

The blue "rocket headbutt" hit the Warrior Eagle's abdomen, causing the Warrior Eagle to fly higher, but the Warrior Eagle's "stand-in" was still there, and the damage it suffered was still within a controllable range:

"Ripping Claws"!

The Warrior Eagle was knocked flying by Squirtle, but it chose to sacrifice itself and swung its claws at Squirtle.

Attack even if you take damage!

As long as you grow up, there is no possibility of stopping your path. At the same time, the two Pokémon were knocked away by each other at the same time.

As he watched Stotle and Warrior Eagle separate, Xiaozhi was truly impressed by Aoki:

"Uncle, you are very strong!"

Just as Xiaozhi expected, Aoki came up with this strategy of exchanging injuries for injuries in order to solve the problem that his Pokémon's reaction was not as fast as Stotle's.

From the moment Stotle looked around the venue, Aoki and Warrior Eagle were also looking at everything about Stotle.

"Water Gun", and Stotle's "Water Cannon", these also let Aoki judge that although Stotle is not as good as Warrior Eagle on average, its reaction ability is super strong.

For an opponent with super-fast reaction speed, you can only fight quickly and decisively.

Now, looking at the uncontrollable battle situation, Aoki felt his blood boiling. This feeling was his original intention to become a trainer:

"Same here, you're such a troublesome kid."

Aoki's long-lost passion for fighting was ignited when Xiaozhi understood his thoughts and was able to fight back.

He and Xiaozhi are currently at the same level:

Insufficient than above, more than below.

Become a regional king?

At present, Aoki's strength is still a little short of what he should be able to achieve. How much that shortfall is, Aoki himself can't say for sure, because it depends on chance.

Genji, the Dragon King of Hoenn, spent his entire life trying to make up for this little bit of opportunity.

The same is true for Xiaozhi.

Both of them were just a little bit short, but both of them were much luckier than Genji.

Aoki (Xiaozhi) in front of him is the food that can help him break through this little opportunity.

Aoki and Xiaozhi said the same thing with blissful expressions, just like a lonely gourmet seeing delicious food:

"I'm gonna start now!"
