Pokemon: Pick up Eevee at the start

Although the plan for the Ultimate World has been finalized, when it will finally be implemented will have to wait until the Ultimate Cave is opened.

As time passed, the Aetherland explosion slowly lost its popularity under the suppression of some unknown force. In just half a month, even people in the Alola region gradually forgot about this incident.

Xia Chen also lived a seemingly ordinary daily life.

When he had nothing to do, he went fishing on the Menas, took Zeraora shopping in the bustling Hauola City, or spent time in the local library of Alola looking for ancient documents that might be related to the Ultimate Cave.

The closer it was to the opening time of the Ultimate Cave, the more peaceful and tranquil he felt inside.

However, they did not wait for the reopening of the Ultimate Cave for half a month. Instead, they first waited for the visit of Lillie and Gladion, the brother and sister.

"Excuse me, teacher, I'm here to visit you again."

Lillie smiled and pulled the clothes of the young man in black standing beside her: "This is what my brother, Gladion, told you last time."

The young man who seemed to have a naturally indifferent face smiled and said, "Hello, I am Gladion. Thank you for taking care of Lillie these days."

Xia Chen waved his hand, "You're welcome, she and I are very close, brother."

"Big Brother"

Gladion frowned slightly, this title was not very popular in Alola.

Xia Chen laughed awkwardly to hide it. He originally blurted out the title of "brother-in-law", but he was afraid of being beaten to death by Gladion, the sister-in-law, so he changed his name temporarily.

It's not that he really has any thoughts about Lillie, it's just that the nickname Gladion "brother-in-law" was too smooth in his previous life.

Although the eldest brother sounds strange, Gladion seems to be two or three years older than him, so it's not a disadvantage.

After the somewhat awkward first meeting, the three of them walked into the house and sat down in the living room.

Gladion was the first to speak, "Actually, I should have come to see you a few days ago, but something unexpected happened in the middle and I am so busy now."

Xia Chen nodded. The so-called "accident" should be the Aether Paradise explosion half a month ago.

I don’t know what role Gladion plays in this.

He thought for a while and tentatively said, "I've also heard about that incident, and I deeply regret the lives lost in that accident."

Xia Chen deliberately observed the other person's expression when he said the word "accident". His outstanding insight allowed him to notice that Gladion did have an imperceptible expression when he heard those two words.

As expected, he was an insider.

Xia Chen thought calmly.

Gladion was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "That incident is indeed heartbreaking. In fact, my main purpose of coming here this time is to fight you."

Xia Chen was speechless. Brother-in-law, your ability to change the subject is too bad, right?

…………

The abrupt turn made the air a little silent, and Lillie laughed twice to smooth things over.

"Well, that's it. Because we in Alola are basically excluded from the mainstream of the elf battle world, my brother rarely has the opportunity to compete with real masters. He has wanted to compete with the teacher for a long time."

This is true. The Alola Alliance was established just a few years ago. Because it is too immature, there are no kings of champions. Top international competitions such as the World Championship or the Eight Masters are not willing to bring training from the Alola region. Play at home.

"But even though this is the case, teacher, please don't underestimate me."

Lillie said seriously: "My brother is a strong contender for the first championship of the Alola region."

This information surprised Xia Chen. No matter how weak the Alola region was, to be a strong contender for the regional championship was at least king-level strength.

Gladion must be around 23 or 24 years old, but he is so strong?

Xia Chen thought about it, and even Sirona became the champion at the age of twenty-five. This has already broken the previous record. This guy Gladion has something.

After Lillie said this, Xia Chen was even more looking forward to the battle with Gladion, and his heart began to stir after not having played against each other for a long time.

He picked up his phone and looked at the time, then smiled and said, "There's still some time before dinner, why don't we call now?"

Of course Gladion had no objection and nodded in agreement.

After some discussion, the two decided to formulate the game into a standard 3v3 singles format. The three special systems can only be used once. Of course, Dynamax cannot be used because conditions do not allow it.

The battle venue was chosen as the nearest battle field outside the house.

Before the battle, Lillie found an opportunity to separate from Gladion and pulled Xia Chen over to whisper, "Teacher, the space fluctuation near the Aether Paradise exceeded the 3% threshold yesterday, and there is a probability of more than 50% that a mutation will occur. , open the channel."

Xia Chen was surprised: "The probability is so high?"

Lillie nodded, her face a little sad, "Well, I originally wanted to watch it from the island, but my brother insisted that I bring him here today. I'm a little worried about that."

Xia Chen comforted him: "It doesn't matter. It only took a few minutes for Luton to pass by. It can keep you away from danger at this special point."

Lillie noticed something was wrong, frowned and asked: "Why do you want to stay away from danger? Didn't we agree to investigate together?"

Only then did Xia Chen realize that he had made a mistake, and quickly made up for it: "Of course, Gu Ledun has a big back, I will definitely take you there with me."

Although he said this, Xia Chen's thoughts were completely opposite. He didn't want Lillie to fall into the vortex of the Ultimate Cave. That place was too dangerous.

Lillie was still a little doubtful. She pursed her lips and stared at Xia Chen for a while, and finally nodded.

"Okay, let's talk later. Your brother has been waiting for a long time."

Xia Chen sent Lillie to stand beside the battlefield, and then gave Gladion a thumbs up, indicating that the battle could start at any time.

The other side responded with the same gesture.

So, under the command of referee Lillie, the battle officially began.

…………

Since the end of the Donghuang Conference, Xia Chen has not officially played an elf battle for more than two months.

Therefore, he was looking forward to the battle with Gladion, and the starting elf he sent was Vulcan Moth.

This is not to underestimate the opponent.

Although the Vulcan Moth's biological age is less than two years old, its energy intensity has actually caught up with the large army. It has already reached the king level, and its growth rate is astonishing.

This kind of strength can also be used as a touchstone for Gragio, the "strong contender for the Alola Championship".

The elf that appeared in front of Gladion was a large dog with scarlet eyes, red hair, a hunched body, and stood on two feet - a maned rock werewolf in the form of night.

Of course, it could also be Zoroark disguised as a Mane Rock Werewolf.

Xia Chen hoped it was the latter, because the rock-type moves had four times the restrained damage to the fire moth, which was a dual-type fire insect.

With a slight sweep of the power of the waveguide, Xia Chen detected the energy intensity of this elf, which was at the king level. It seemed to be a comparable opponent to the Vulcan Moth.

"Vulcan moth, insect buzz!"

Xia Chen struck first.

The reason why he didn't use the fire-based moves that Vulcan Moth was better at was to test whether the maned rock werewolf was real or fake.

If it is a real maned rock werewolf, the damage caused by fire-based moves will be greatly weakened. If it is Zoroark, insect-based moves can also double the restraint on evil elves.

No matter how you look at it, it is a better solution.

"Mane Rock Werewolf, Charge Rock!"

Gladion took command from behind, but the Mane Rock Werewolf used a preemptive move.

Rock Rush, Mane Rock Werewolf's exclusive move, is equivalent to the rock-type lightning flash.

Although the damage is low, this is also a genuine rock-type move. Even with four times the restraint, it can also cause a lot of damage to the low-durability Vulcan Moth.

What's more threatening is that it allows the slow Mane Rock Werewolf to get close to the Vulcan Moth in a very short time, and then use more powerful moves.

Light yellow rock energy appeared at the feet of the mane rock werewolf, and the next moment, its rickety figure suddenly jumped out, like a dark red lightning.

Xia Chen's face hardened, and he could use his exclusive move Chongyan.

Gee, it’s really the Mane Rock Werewolf.

…………

Although the Black Night Wolf was slow, driven by the special energy of Chongyan's move, it rushed straight in front of the Vulcan Moth at an extremely fast speed.

The Vulcan moth is not afraid, still condensing energy and preparing to release insect sounds.

Chi——

The sharp claws of the Mane Rock Werewolf slashed diagonally on the Vulcan Moth's body like sharp blades. The rock energy seeped into the body along the claws, causing the latter to groan.

This is the restraint of rock-type moves on Vulcan Moth. With a four-fold bonus, rock-attacking can also produce the ultimate impact effect.

Xia Chen raised his eyebrows slightly as he watched this scene. Judging from the explosive speed when taking off and the impressive attack power, this maned rock werewolf's cultivation was already excellent.

"Sharp stone attack!"

The speed of charging into the rock was so fast that before the Vulcan Moth could even release its buzz, Gladion suddenly chose to pursue it.

This time it's not a small fight like rushing into the rock, but a sharp stone attack that does so much damage that it can be called a rock-type ultimate move!

As a result, the Mane Rock Werewolf, which was still in the inertial state of rushing into the rock, gathered energy again, and the rumble of the ground roared faintly from the underground.

This guy's fighting style is a bit brutal.

Xia Chen felt a little sigh in his heart. It was obviously a dark night-maned rock werewolf that was not very fast, but he just made a standard quick attack start.

However, my Vulcan Moth is not that easy to deal with!

At the same time that the Mane Rock Werewolf released its sharp stone attack, the harsh insect chirping sound spread out in ripples under the three pairs of high-frequency flapping wings of the Vulcan Moth.

The first person to be affected was naturally the Mane Rock werewolf who had just taken the initiative to approach.

Moves like Insect Cry are like earthquakes. The closer you are to the earthquake source, the higher the damage.

The Mane Rock Werewolf, who was in almost zero-distance contact with the source of the earthquake, frowned amidst the chirping of insects that sounded like a demonic sound, and his blood-red cold eyes immediately showed pain.

His body stiffened subconsciously, and the sharp rock blade that was still underground and about to break out suddenly got stuck.

And with this moment of opportunity, the Vulcan Moth quickly adjusted its angle and flew to a higher place, missing the light blue sharp stone rising from the ground.

Gladion reacted very quickly and commanded impressively: "Use the sharp stone attack as a stepping stone to attack the rock!"

He understood the current situation of the Mane Rock Werewolf very well. If he could not suppress the Vulcan Moth with a tidal wave of offensives, he would be greeted by a fierce counterattack from his opponent.

The biggest advantage of the Mane Rock Werewolf is the cheap and powerful Rock Rush!

Seeing the Mane Rock Werewolf sprinting up the sharp rocks like a mad dog, Xia Chen quickly responded, "Fire Vortex!"

…………

Flame vortex?

Lillie, who was called the referee but was actually watching the game on the sidelines, was a little puzzled.

Why did the teacher use a flame vortex that was not very powerful and was twice resisted by the rock mane rock werewolf?

Isn’t it good to continue using Bugsong?

But she knew that Xia Chen must have his intentions in giving such instructions. She was already attentive and watched Vulcan Moth's every move even more intently.

The Vulcan Moth flicked its wings, and blazing flames instantly surged out of the air like magic.

Its speed is so fast that even the Mane Rock Werewolf who uses Rock Rush is ashamed.

It can be said that the Vulcan Moth using and not using fire-based moves are completely two elves.

The surging flames immediately surrounded the Vulcan Moth's body in a clockwise direction, forming an elliptical sphere like a cocoon.

Driven by the energy of the rushing rock, the Maneyan Werewolf couldn't stop the car and fell into a high-temperature fire cocoon surrounded by flames.

Gladion's expression changed.

Although the rock-type Mane Rock Werewolf is resistant to fire-type moves, and the Night Dog has good physical strength, it can cause at least two damage once it enters and exits.

What's more important is that the Vulcan Moth, who is "fighting at home" in the Fire Cocoon, will definitely be able to obtain the power bonus of fire-based moves that are higher than those under [Sunny Day]!

It is foreseeable that Xia Chen will never let the Mane Rock Werewolf escape from the fire cocoon so easily.

"Maned Rock Werewolf, use Rock Rush to rush out!"

Gladion couldn't care about anything else at the moment and directly commanded the maned rock werewolves to escape from the sea of ​​fire first.

Xia Chen smiled slightly but did not stop him.

Use rock rush to break out of the flame vortex?

He couldn't welcome this kind of waste of energy that slows down the offensive rhythm. This will undoubtedly ruin the momentum of the Mane Rock Werewolf's opening three blows.

Gladion quickly realized this after subconsciously commanding the Mane Rock Werewolf to break out of the fire cocoon.

He wanted to let the Mane Rock Werewolf switch to [Rock Crash] or continue [Rock Blockade], but the speed of charging into the rock was too fast. When he reacted, the Mane Rock Werewolf had already rushed out of the flame vortex.

At this time, Xia Chen commanded calmly: "Vulcan moth, hot wind!"

In a cocoon of fire as bright as the sun, the Vulcan Moth flaps its wings at high frequency.

then.

The wind rises and the fire falls.

call--

Along with the strong wind, the fire cocoon exploded instantly. The mane rock werewolf who had just rushed out of the flame vortex felt an explosive energy impact from behind, and was instantly knocked to the ground by this energy.

And this is just the first wave of the combination of flame vortex and hot wind.

Then, with the help of the wind, countless large and small sparks or sparks flew vertically towards the maned rock werewolf on the ground!
