Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 955, Battle against Yongci

Xiaoying looked calm, took a step forward, raised her arms high, and shouted loudly: "Go! Lucario!"

As his voice fell, three fighting-type Pokémon appeared on the ice field, and the biting cold wind blew across their bodies, making a rustling sound.

Lucario was sturdy and exuded a restrained and powerful aura. Xiaoying stared at Lucario, her eyes full of trust and expectation for him. She shouted to Lucario, "This time, it's up to you, Lucario, Mega Evolve..."

Lucario sensed Xiaoying's intentions and stood firmly on the ice field. A bright light shone around him, and the super stone resonated with the key. The bright light was particularly dazzling in the ice and snow. As the light surged, it completed its super evolution.

Mega Lucario stood majestically on the ice field, emitting a powerful aura. Waves surrounded his body, and the cold air and snowflakes were bounced away, unable to get close.

Xiao Dan was not to be outdone. With a confident smile on his face, he threw out three ground-type Pokémon, which also had Pokémon that could mega evolve.

He raised his chin slightly, with confidence in his eyes, and shouted loudly: "Let them see the power of our ground type! Steelix, Mega Evolution..."

Immediately afterwards, Steelix also burst out with dazzling light, successfully completing super evolution. The huge body of Super Steelix stood on the ice field, giving people a sense of indestructible oppression. The hard body gleamed with metallic luster, and its big mouth emitted bursts of low roars.

Facing the giant Steelix with a physical defense of over 200, Xiaoying, this big tank, could not help but frown and secretly complained in her heart: "This opponent is going to be difficult to beat."

He looked at his own Pokémon, Frog and Strength, and bit his lip. Only Frog could restrain Xiaodan's ground-type Pokémon, so he had to give his all in this game.

The battle officially started, Mega Lucario and Mega Steelix faced each other and started a fierce battle on the ice field. Every collision between them unleashed a huge force, the biting cold wind was shaken into disorder, and snowflakes flew everywhere.

Mega Lucario is agile and like a blue lightning, it keeps attacking.

Super Steelix is as steady as a rock, relying on its solid defense to withstand attacks time and time again.

In this tense situation, the pressure gradually fell on Frog. Although Strange Power was full of fighting spirit and waved its strong arms, rushing towards Xiaodan's senior king-level ground Pokémon, it was still slightly inferior.

Every attack of Guai Li was easily neutralized, while the opponent's counterattack made Guai Li retreat again and again. Xiao Ying watched Guai Li gradually lose the upper hand and was extremely anxious. She could only encourage Guai Li and shouted: "Guai Li, hold on!"

However, the gap in strength was difficult to make up, and Guai Li was eventually defeated first, falling heavily on the ice, splashing a cloud of ice flowers.

Immediately afterwards, Mega Lucario was besieged by the enemy. Although he fought hard with an indomitable will in his eyes, he gradually became powerless in the face of the heavy encirclement.

Xiaoying watched Mega Lucario being besieged and could only let Lucario dodge to delay time, but Mega Lucario was ultimately outnumbered and after a fierce battle, slowly fell on the ice field.

At this time, only the Fast Swim Frog was left on the field to face Xiao Dan's three elves alone. Although the Fast Swim Frog mustered up all his strength and fought hard, he could not hold on alone. Under the opponent's repeated attacks, he gradually lost the ability to resist.

Finally, the fast-swimming frog also fell on the ice field, and snowflakes gently fell and covered its body.

"Xiao Dan wins!" Du announced the result of the competition in a loud voice. He looked at the victorious Xiao Dan, nodded slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Xiao Dan's face was filled with the joy of victory. He held his head high, accepted everyone's gaze, and hugged his elves.

"Congratulations! I didn't expect that the least favored ground-based system would win a spot in the Four Heavenly Kings." Grandpa Haoji looked at Grandpa Xiaodan with a smile on his face, and bowed to congratulate him.

"I'll treat you guys after the game, let's have a good drink!" Grandpa Xiaodan's face was flushed and he couldn't stop smiling. He patted Grandpa Haoji's shoulder. He was so proud at the moment. His little grandson really made him proud and became famous in one battle.

On the ice platform on the other side, a group of people were also chatting lively.

"Congratulations!" Ayi's second uncle had a sincere smile on his face and bowed to Xiaodan's father to congratulate him. Although his own Ayi lost the game, at least one of the four major dojos was shortlisted, which was not too bad.

"Okay, okay. I'll treat you tonight. Let's have a nice drink, guys!" Xiaodan's father was also very proud and responded with a big laugh, his eyes full of pride. After all, it was his son who achieved such good results and was about to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings in the future.

On the ice field, the biting cold wind howled wildly and snowflakes fluttered down, adding a solemn atmosphere to the entire field.

Du returned to the contestant area, his clothes rustling in the wind. His deep gaze fell on No. 7 Yu Hai and asked, "No. 7, which number did you draw..."

"Number one." Yu Hai looked helpless, smiled bitterly, took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Du.

He felt a little depressed. The two people he least wanted to meet were both picked. His luck was terrible. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This luck was really bad.

"Number one Yuji, versus number seven Ukai, please enter as soon as possible." After seeing the number "one" on the note, Du lightly jumped onto Dragonite.

Dragonite let out a loud dragon roar, flapped its wings and flew back into the sky above the arena.

Du sat steadily on Dragonite's back, his eyes calm yet with a hint of curiosity, silently watching the two people enter.

"Is it him? I hope Brother Kuang Ren won't blame me, hey." When Yongci learned that he was picked by Yu Hai, his slightly frowned brows relaxed, and he felt a little conflicted.

He knew the importance of this match, he was eager to win, and his opponent was equally determined to win. In this cruel arena, he had no choice but to make up his mind to eliminate his opponent.

At Watari's clear and powerful shout, Ukai and Yuji stood on either side of the field, staring at each other with intense sparks flashing in their eyes. Then, almost simultaneously, they threw their Poké Balls.

"Go, Ditto!" Yuji shouted loudly, raising his arms high. The Poké Ball drew an arc in the air, and with a flash of light, Ditto appeared on the field.

He sent out Ditto after careful consideration. This Pokémon could play an unexpected role when dealing with Ukai.

"Go, Frog!" Yu Hai also shouted immediately and threw the Poké Ball with force. Frog appeared with a flash of red light. This Frog could be said to be the strongest trump card in his hand. At this critical moment, there was nothing to hide.

When he saw that Yuji threw out Ditto, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that the first thing Yuji sent out was Ditto. He thought to himself: "It really fits Yuji's fighting style. Ditto must be used as a test."

Next, the game continued, the two looked at each other closely, and quickly sent out the second elf, followed by the third elf.

Yuji's Pokémons are Ditto, Dragonite, and the aggressive Charizard.

Dragonite circled in the air, its wings flapping to create gusts of wind. Charizard stood in the arena, spewing scorching flames from its nostrils, instantly melting the surrounding snowflakes and making a "hissing" sound.

On Yu Hai's side, he also sent out his carefully selected Pokémon one after another, first Frogger, then Slowking, and finally the huge Swampert.

"It's Charizard, why is it Charizard? Where is Tanabata Bluebird? Is it a smoke bomb?" Yu Hai frowned, his eyes fixed on Yuji's Charizard, his heart full of doubts.

This Charizard stood in front of Dragonite and Ditto. Judging from its position, it was clearly a stronger being than Dragonite. He couldn't help but wonder, "Could this be Yuji's true trump card, instead of the Dragonite that's on the surface?" On the icy battlefield, the cold wind howled and snowflakes fluttered, and the tense battle atmosphere grew even stronger.

Yuji looked calm as he shouted, "Ditto, transform into Super Lizard King!"

At this moment, he must reveal Ditto's identity and let Ditto fight as a dragon. Only in this way can his Ditto meet the requirements of the competition.

"Oh no, the Super Lizard King can also transform?" Yu Hai looked at the elf combination on Yuji's side and couldn't help but be secretly shocked, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

He bit his lip and groaned inwardly: his three water-type Pokémon were all restrained by the grass-type Pokémon, especially the big-name Swampert, who was at a disadvantage in this situation.

At this moment, the biggest threat to him is undoubtedly the Super Lizard King. It looks like a real Super Lizard King, but it is difficult to verify whether the super-evolved form imitated by Ditto has dragon attributes.

In the competition, if something cannot be verified, it is equivalent to existing. As long as the Super Lizard King knows dragon-type moves, it is a dragon-type Pokémon. This is undoubtedly exploiting a loophole in the competition system.

However, what made Yu Hai feel even more stressed was that the Charizard standing in the first place was surrounded by a bright light and began to super evolve.

The dazzling light illuminated the entire arena, and accompanied by waves of heat, Charizard completed its transformation.

Seeing this, Yu Hai didn't dare to delay for a moment and quickly ordered Swampert to mega evolve.

"Ragurugu," Swampert roared to the sky, and powerful energy waves burst out from his body, setting off an ice and snow storm on the ice field.

After their two Pokémons had mega-evolved, Slowking suddenly let out a low growl, a hint of bitterness appearing on his cute face. Through telepathy, he transmitted the result of his perception to Yu Hai's mind: "Ah Dong, Ah Hai, we can't win..."

Slowking was filled with helplessness. It sensed the immense heat emanating from the Mega Charizard X through its telekinesis, like a volcano about to erupt, which was terrifying.

After Yuji's Charizard completed its mega evolution, its strength instantly soared to the quasi-champion level, comparable to the strength that Nini had unleashed before.

Add to that the veteran king-level Dragonite and the veteran king-level Mega Lizard King transformed by Ditto, standing firmly on the field, and this lineup is truly formidable.

On the other hand, the levels of Yu Hai's three Pokémon are obviously low. The strongest Frog is only level 69, Slowking is only level 63, and Swampert is only level 60.

Such a level gap made his three elves seem so small when facing Yuji's "three-headed dragon".

The three elves of Yuji are at level 70 at the lowest and level 78 and 79 at the highest. The disparity in strength is obvious. This battle has been extremely difficult for Yu Hai from the very beginning.

Despite the unfavorable situation, Yu Hai did not retreat at all. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. The fighting spirit in his eyes rekindled. He raised his hands high and shouted to the elves: "Swimper, Swampert, don't hold back, burst out with all your strength!"

At the same time, Yuji looked at the movement over at Ukai, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile. He also shouted an order to Charizard: "Charizard, you don't have to hold back, burst out with all your strength, Dragon Claw!"

The moment Charizard mega-evolved, he firmly believed that he could not lose. Since the opponent still wanted to continue fighting, he would oblige him. With only Charizard, he was confident that he could win the game.

“Roar—” Charizard raised its head and let out a deafening roar, the sound penetrating the entire ice field and reaching the sky.

The drizzle that was originally falling from the sky was instantly bounced away by the powerful sound waves. Before the raindrops got close to Charizard, they were evaporated by the hot breath emanating from its body and turned into wisps of water vapor that were almost invisible.

Then, Mega Charizard X's body was filled with dragon might, and it stretched out its extremely sharp claws. Light green dragon energy erupted violently and quickly condensed on the claws, forming two energy dragon claws emitting a green glow, which illuminated the surrounding ice surface with a green luster.

Huhu——

Mega Charizard X flapped its wings violently, and powerful airflow spread out from it, blowing the snow on the ice field into the sky.

Its figure was like a black lightning that cut through the sky, and it shot out in an instant. It raised its dragon claws high and swooped down with the momentum of destroying the world, rushing towards the Frog and Swampert who were bursting with power and breaking the ice.

boom--

At the moment when the three elves collided violently on the ice field, a terrifying force erupted. The huge explosion was like rolling thunder, shaking the entire ice field.

The ice surface in the middle of the collision could not withstand the powerful impact force and shattered instantly. Countless sharp ice cubes flew around like cannonballs. A huge ice pit appeared on the ice field, and the earth seemed to be torn open with a hideous wound.

Under the powerful impact, Frogger and Swampert were like two cannonballs, and they flew back in an instant from the billowing smoke and dust produced by the explosion.

Just as they were about to hit the ice hard, Slowking quickly activated his telekinesis, and the invisible telekinesis turned into a pair of gentle and powerful hands, trying to catch them.

However, Mega Charizard X's attack was too powerful. Although Slowking had exhausted all his telekinesis, he was unable to fully withstand the impact.

It could only use its telekinesis to barely drag Frog and Swampert, and the three Pokémon flew backwards together, constantly smashing the icicles standing on the ice field along the way, making a series of shattering roars.

Fragments of icicles flew in the air like a crystal ice rain, and they flew for several miles before slowly stopping.

After taking a short breath, Slowking was exhausted. Its body was trembling slightly. It forced itself to use teleportation to return to Ukai with Frogger and Swampert.

At this time, Froggy and Swampert had already fallen unconscious, and Swampert's mega evolution had also dissipated. It was no longer in the mega evolution state and collapsed powerlessly on the ground.

"Ah-dong..." Slowking gently put down Frogger and Swampert. It also exhausted its last bit of strength and slowly fell from the air, landing heavily on the ice.

In order to protect Frogger and Swampert and weaken the huge kinetic energy generated by the impact, it not only exhausted all its physical strength, but also consumed all its mental power.

Yu Hai looked at the three Pokémon in front of him with a hint of relief in his eyes. He slowly reached out his hand and pressed the Poké Ball buttons in succession: "Come back, Slowking, Froggy, and Swampert."

In his mind, the three of them had already performed very well by being able to block an attack from the quasi-champion-level Mega Charizard. After all, they had only been trainers for a short time, and although losing this game was regrettable, it was not unacceptable.

"Yongci wins!" When Du saw Yu Hai taking back the Pokémon, he understood that this meant surrender. Even if Slowking was still awake, according to the rules of the game, taking back all the Pokémons would mean losing the game.

He couldn't help but take another look at Yongci, with a hint of surprise and admiration in his eyes. He didn't expect that this man, who was usually quiet, actually had such powerful strength. In his opinion, Yongci was qualified enough to be promoted to the champion of the Orange Islands.

In fact, among this group of young people who were promoted to regional champions, the situation of their Pokémons was similar to that of Yuji's Mega Charizard.

Their Pokémons are all in the critical stage of reaching the champion level, but Yuji only has one quasi-champion level Pokémon, while they have several.
