Pokemon: Pick up Eevee at the start

In the rain curtain, the blue torrent tightly wrapped around the body of the giant swamp monster and broke through the waves, as if it didn't pay attention to the energy ball in front of it that was four times more powerful than itself.

Gardevoir was also concentrating on condensing energy, seemingly putting all his bets on this move.

Although it was only the first confrontation since the appearance, the momentum of both sides was like the last blow when the oil lamp was about to run out in a fierce battle.

Although such a desperate situation is thrilling, it is also a bit confusing.

To say that Swampert believes that its strength is much higher than that of Gardevoir, it is understandable that you are confident that you can catch this energy ball, but how can you, a Gardevoir, have the courage to take on Swampert's full-strength climb with the bonus of rainy weather? What about the waterfall strike?

Does meditation increase physical defense, or does the light wall reduce physical attack damage?

It is naturally impossible for something like this that violates the basic laws of this world to happen, so are you still trying to use teleportation to avoid harm?

This was the confused thought of most viewers, but Xia Chen clearly understood that there was no way to escape the lock of the giant swamp monster by teleporting.

The power of the wave guide allowed him to clearly perceive that the giant swamp monster's climbing waterfall seemed terrifying, but it was not at all the level that a quasi-king elf should be.

what does that mean?

There is no doubt that the giant swamp monster left room for a second sprint for Gardevoir's teleportation.

As long as you choose to let Gardevoir throw this energy ball and immediately use teleportation to run away, what will happen on the field in the next second will be the Swamp Monster making a sharp turn to avoid the energy ball and drifting into Gardevoir. Extreme operation at the landing point.

Whether Gardevoir ducks behind the Swamp Monster or in mid-air, it will not change what happened.

Xia Chen was extremely convinced of this.

It can be known just from the fact that the move released by the giant swamp monster is not the more powerful [Water Break], but the [Waterfall Climb] that can hit low-altitude targets.

Therefore, the more it happens at this moment, the more impossible it is to escape.

Dancing on the tip of the knife is Gardevoir's only chance to win in this unequal duel!

…………

In the stands, in the tense air that seemed to drip with water, there were two men in the corner chatting leisurely about the situation on the field.

One of them is Qianli, and the other is gorgeously dressed and has the same elegant temperament as Mikri, but he is the previous owner of the Liuli Gym and Mikri's teacher, Adam, who is called the "charming playboy".

At this moment, he was stroking the two delicate mustaches on his lips and marveling.

"Tsk, tsk, is this kid frightened by this aura or has he really seen through it? He's not even trying to hide?"

As a top trainer at the gym level and even higher in strength, Adam naturally recognized the tactical intentions of his beloved disciple.

They say the authorities are obsessed with things, but what he didn't expect was that Xia Chen, who was in the middle of a fierce battle, could also make the most accurate judgment.

Will it be blinded?

Qianli, who was holding his arms across his chest, asked calmly: "What do you think?"

Adam was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shrugged coolly.

"My fault, I shouldn't have doubted the mind of such a young gym-level trainer just because of his age, let alone a [Legendary Messenger]."

Legendary Messenger is probably the name of the Beast Man with high emotional intelligence in this world. In short, it is an absolute compliment.

Qianli didn't reply, but looked forward with burning eyes.

Because on the water field, the giant swamp monster's figure is already infinitely close to the emerald green ball that has expanded to nearly one meter in diameter!

Although there are many dangers, there is one advantage to not avoiding the impact of the Swamp Monster, and that is that you can roll the energy balls with your hands without any distractions.

Under the precise control of Gardevoir, extremely destructive grass energy is continuously injected into the sphere wrapped in superpowers.

The swamp monster was deliberately withdrawing its strength, but Gardevoir almost drained all the energy she could pour into it in just a few seconds.

The manic energy was scurrying around in the sphere irregularly. If it weren't for the restraint of superpowers, this energy sphere carrying super-powerful effects would have exploded long ago.

And all the crazy patience was for this moment. Just as Gardevoir's crimson eyes reflected the huge water flow surrounding the Swampert, Xia Chen's order was finally given.

"Gardevoir, now!"

"Sana——"

After exhausting the last bit of energy left in his body, Gardevoir's figure suddenly disappeared from the water.

Teleport!

Where are the jumpable destinations?

The fins on the Swampert's body sense information from the sounds of wind and waves coming from all directions.

The top of the head and the back were not in the two expected positions. The Swampert was at a loss for a moment.

"Marmperen, underwater!"

Mikri's reminder sounded like thunder, waking up his somewhat confused mind. Without thinking, the orange air sacs on his cheeks and body inflated like breathing, driving the muscles throughout his body to rapidly expand.

Like a track car with extremely high performance, the Swampert turned around at an incredible angle and plunged towards the water.

At the same time, the energy ball blooming with emerald green exploded like a supernova at the end of life in the vast universe.

…………

The bright light completely overshadowed the lights on the dome of the gym and the natural light shining in from the glass. It was so dazzling that the audience who were watching the situation closely closed their eyes subconsciously.

What followed naturally was the loud noise of energy explosion.

boom--

The loud noise of the explosion was mixed with the sound of waves blown up by the energy aftermath on the water, shaking the heaven and earth, as if the whole world was the only sound left.

Being unable to open their eyes or hear, this is simply torture for the audience who are eager to know the outcome of this head-on confrontation.

Finally, after the light dimmed slightly, someone forced his eyes open despite the risk of retinal damage.

However, they were shocked to find that the two elves on the water had disappeared.

Has their battlefield moved underwater?

This is a question that is not particularly difficult to answer. If it is not on the water, then it must be underwater.

At this time, the large screen above the battlefield had switched to the underwater camera position.

As a gym that mainly focuses on water, it is impossible not to make this preparation, and the audience was able to observe the result of the duel just now on the screen.

In the blue waters, the giant swamp monster's strong body was covered with scars. The green grass energy continued to seep from the body surface, and the strong eyes could not hide the great pain in it.

Undoubtedly, because Gardevoir moved at the last moment before the explosion, he had to change his movements afterward.

As a result, the Swamp Monster withstood the most direct and violent impact of the energy ball explosion, and suffered such heavy damage that it almost lost its ability to fight!

hiss--

Sounds of exclamation arose one after another in the audience.

Mikri made it very clear when he replaced the Swampert that this was the main elf of his second team.

The giant swamp monster, which is close to the king-level strength, was actually hurt to this extent by an energy ball from this Gardevoir?

It is true that Swampert is four times weaker than Gardevoir, and Gardevoir has also received the strengthening blessing of meditation, but is this the reason why an elf that barely reached the gym level of one star severely damaged the quasi-king elf?

Is this reasonable?

On the other side, Gardevoir's state caused them to fall into silence again.

Because compared to the severely injured Swamp Monster, Gardevoir's white gauze skirt was almost intact!

…………

"how did you do that?"

Qianli's face showed the same astonishment as the ordinary spectators around him. He murmured a guess: "Has water resolved most of the impact of the Swampert?"

Adam shook his head, "Impossible, there is absolutely no way water can become a resistance to the Swampert."

This is the confidence that a trainer who specializes in water attributes has in his outstanding disciples.

"Is that protection?"

Qianli denied his second conjecture as soon as he finished speaking, "That's not right. Continuous energy balls and teleportation are almost the limit of Gardevoir. It is impossible for her to have the power to block this waterfall after teleportation." energy."

Adam seemed to have thought of something, and his brows suddenly relaxed, "Maybe it's a shadow clone?"

There are only so many moves in Gardevoir's skill pool. Excluding those moves that are impossible to achieve this effect, shadow clone seems to be the only possibility.

Qianli suddenly nodded, "You mean, when he released the energy ball just now, Gardevoir secretly created a clone underwater? If it is a super elf, it is indeed possible."

For an elf known for its mental power, there is indeed room for maneuver in using the release moves at once.

Then what Gardevoir did in those few seconds during the Swampert's sprint was obvious.

While condensing the energy ball, he buried a clone in the water, and then completed the teleportation at the extreme moment before the giant swamp monster collided, hiding in the deeper water under the clone.

This series of operations is not difficult for gym-level elves. What is really difficult is——

"To be able to think of such a countermeasure in such a short period of time and then let Gardevoir take notice, his mind is too calm."

Qianli nodded silently, echoing Adam's sentiments somewhat sourly, "That's what those with super powers are like."

…………

Compared to the amazement of the audience, the two trainers on the field did not have time to think and analyze that much.

"Swamp Monster, the water breaks!"

"Gardevoir, hold on, try to get as close to the water as possible!"

Mi Keli and Xia Chen made commands that seemed completely opposite to the situation on the field.

The Swampert, which had just been seriously injured, kept moving upwards, while Gardevoir, who had the upper hand in the duel, retreated.

The two were not surprised at each other's choice.

If we use a game as a metaphor——

The Swampert with the attribute [Riptide] is now like a berserker with no health and full mana, while Gardevoir at this time is a mage with full health but no mana.

It is obvious who chases and who runs away.

After all, the driving force of the weak superpower is not as strong as the strong limbs equipped with ten thousand horsepower. Under the water, the figure of the giant swamp monster keeps approaching Gardevoir's body.

Even in the water, the azure water energy flowing turbulently on the surface of his body looked so different.

[Intense] Characteristic Activation - The lower the vitality, the higher the damage of water-based moves.

At this moment, the abundant water energy in the giant swamp monster's right fist is surging like boiling. No one doubts whether this explosive punch can kill Gardevoir instantly.

Not to mention Gardevoir, even if Menas, the meatiest person in Xia Chen's lineup, were to pick him up, it would probably be too much.

The only doubt is whether the Swampert can catch up before Xia Chen brings Gardevoir to the surface and takes back the Poké Ball.

Judging from the speed at which the distance between the two is shrinking, it doesn't seem to be difficult to do.

But Mi Keli stared at Xia Chen, who looked calm on the other side, and felt something was wrong.

Worried about a long night and many dreams, he gave some hasty instructions: "Swamp Monster, go all out!"

Hearing this, the giant swamp monster swam even faster, and the nearly bursting water was only a punch away from Gardevoir diagonally above.

Gardevoir was nearly suffocated by the powerful and ferocious aura.

The next moment.

Punch out hard!

boom--

The water flow that had accumulated the Swamp Monster's full anger finally broke, and the Swamp Monster couldn't help but let out a thunderous roar after venting his pent-up emotions.

"Marg——"

However, at this moment, dozens of emerald green leaves stubbornly broke through the current and swirled downwards, continuously dilating in the Swamp Monster's astonished pupils.

…………

With a dull and heavy sound, a water column several feet high suddenly exploded from the water surface. From the water column, a slender and tall figure flew out, and it was none other than Gardevoir!

The audience all sighed in admiration——

The Swamp Monster in the "fierce water" state is really terrifying!

The sound of two whistles in succession meant that Gardevoir had truly lost his ability to fight, and the score on the field was rewritten to 1:1.

Wait, why is it 1:1?

The two whistles just now mean that Swampert has also fallen?

The spectators who came back to their senses looked towards the field and suddenly discovered that the Swampert had also surfaced under the help of Lapras, who was riding the referee, and had also lost its ability to fight.

Floating at the same time, there were several leaves that had lost their energy and were turning into debris.

The reasons for this situation could not be more obvious.

The final straw for Swampert was this magic leaf!

The silent auditorium was instantly in uproar.

"So Gardevoir and Quasi-King's Swampert are tied?"

"That's right, it even only took two moves."

"That's what I said. I also said that Gardevoir owes the Swampert two lives after suffering this burst of water."

"But that's Mikri's second team of Swamperts. How can Gardevoir's damage be so high?"

"Not only because of the high damage, but also because these two moves of Gardevoir have the highest theoretical output, it is also a very important reason. Unless the Swamp Monster gets close to his face, Gardevoir will never waste any energy. It's really brave of a skilled person. ah!"

"It's too strong. I am invincible below the king of heaven. I am invincible for the king of heaven."

The rather rare "die together" situation caused the game to fall into the middle period. Anyway, there were no elves on both sides, so no one could take advantage.

Mikri took out the elf ball and took back the giant swamp monster, and looked at Xia Chen with more and more admiration.

He squinted and smiled, "It's so stunningly gorgeous and elegant. Then, please allow me to offer my highest respect to this battle!"

He paused for a moment, then took out a dark blue diving ball from his waist and slowly raised his hand. The ordinary movement looked quite pleasing to the eye because it was done by Mikri.

"This is my true strength, be careful. Show off your charming water phantom, Gyarados!"

A beautiful voice like poetry sounded, and the elf ball flew out, and a ferocious-looking blue dragon-shaped elf appeared in mid-air above the water.

It is the spirit with water and flying attributes, Gyarados!

…………

"This kid has really become serious."

In the auditorium, Adam looked at Mikri at the other end of the water field and said with emotion.

He naturally understands the disciples who he has personally taught for more than ten years.

Qianli, on the other hand, showed a look of amazement, "This guy even brought out this Gyarados. It seems he really values ​​Xia Chen!"

Qianli naturally also participated in last year's gym main event. Although his results in the top eight were passable, they were still far behind the championship he expected.

And the person who blocked him from the top four was none other than Mi Keli.

As an opponent he had just fought against recently, he knew the strength of Gyarados very well. The absolute ace Menas was definitely incomparable, but he could still be ranked in the second echelon like the Lotte Kappa and the Swampert.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was treated as an opponent of the same level with this level of attention.

Thinking like this, Qianli turned to look at the young man on the other side of the water field, his eyes burning, as if he wanted to see something from his expression as flat as a lake.

What would you do in the face of such pressure?

At the same time, on the battlefield.

"Roar--"

The deafening sound waves emitted from Gyarados' open mouth seemed to be venting his ever-present raging rage.

In nature, the louder the scream, the scarier the elf is, but Gyarados is not included in this.

He is the elf that voyagers are most afraid of encountering on the sea, because their violence stems from genes, not the external environment.

Once discovered by such an elf, he will never give up until he fights to the death.

But Xia Chen has always believed that such a brainless Gyarados is not scary. What is truly scary are those individuals who can control their emotions.

Obviously, the Gyarados sent by Mikri falls into this category.

After the opening roar, the Gyarados calmed down and stared at Xia Chen quietly, as if patiently waiting for his challenge.

Obviously, that roar was his characteristic [Intimidation]. Unfortunately, there was no elf on the field, so the roar was lonely.

Do you want to give up a characteristic at the beginning?

Xia Chen ignored this and calmed down to feel the strength of Gyarados.

As expected, the rich and terrifying energy aura conveyed was a solid Heavenly King level!

His heart beat faster and faster. Is this Mikri's real main elf?

I’m really getting more and more excited!

Xia Chen's hand holding the elf ball tightened even more, and he slowly exhaled a breath. His mental power increased to the point where it could not be improved.

This is not only a battle that belongs to the elves, but also belongs to you!

The white light flashed, and Duolongqi appeared on the battlefield.

As if sensing the stirring emotions in Xia Chen's heart, he changed his usual cheerful attitude and stared solemnly at the Gyarados in front of him. Even the eyes of Mecia, the little dragon above his head, became rare and serious.

Two dragon-shaped elves with nearly ten times the size difference faced each other quietly. Neither side showed fear or contempt because of the difference in size and strength.

Xia Chen adjusted his breathing and mental state to the best, and said firmly: "Duolongqi, prepare to fight!"
