Elf: Re-employment of retired champion of Padiya

Chapter 700: Is Your Great King Yan Legal?
It was as if there was magic in Xiaozhi's words.

The moment the voice fell, the Red Lotus Armored Knight reacted to the sudden attack of the "Shadow Ball" and subconsciously turned his body to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack that was extremely effective for him.

In the eyes of Xiaozhi and Crimson Knight.

You have to know that at this time, the Bone Patterned Giant Crocodile is in a special attack +1 state after the Flash Flame Song, not to mention that the Red Lotus Armor Knight himself has reduced both defenses because of the Armored Farm Cannon.

If you get hit, there's no fun.

Before the Crimson Armor Knight could stand firmly, Xiaozhi's next order came.

"Go ahead and charge the flame attack!"

The red tassel-like flame on the Red Lotus Armored Knight's head suddenly expanded, wrapping its entire body, and instantly turned into a ball of flame that rushed towards the Bone Patterned Giant Crocodile.

At the same time, its running speed became faster and faster. The friction between the flame and the air made a rumbling sound like an organ, adding a sense of burning to the surrounding environment.

The next moment, the Red Lotus Armored Cavalry, wrapped in flames, crashed into the Bone Patterned Giant Crocodile!

"Close combat!?"

In the audience, Xiaoyao shouted.

Even though she is a coordinated trainer who is not good at fighting, she knows from her daily travels with Xiaozhi that Crimson Knight is a Pokémon that prefers long-range attacks.

——Why did Xiaozhi let such a Crimson Knight fight in close combat with the Bone-Patterned Crocodile?

Xiao Gang, who was standing by, saw what she was most concerned about and spread his hands helplessly, "No way, this is Xiaozhi's fighting style."

Regardless of whether the Pokémon is good at close combat or suitable for quick attacks, Xiaozhi will definitely prioritize attacking and rarely choose to engage in long-range consumption.

As far as Xiaogang knows, even though Xiaozhi had practiced with Brother Luo Mu for a period of time, the other party was unable to correct his fighting habits.

Similarly, Shinji, who got to know Satoshi better through his travels in the Hoenn region, was also well aware of the fact that Satoshi chose to rush forward.

In a sense, this can be regarded as a tacit understanding between strong rivals.

Shinji believed that Xiaozhi would definitely find an opportunity to initiate close combat. After all, the Crimson Knight, whose speed increased by 1 after "Charged Flame Attack", had an absolute advantage in agility over the Bone Patterned Crocodile.

Besides——

"Close combat. Was it intentional?"

This thought came to Shinji's mind, but he quickly drove it out.

After all, the person in front of him is the "reckless" Xiaozhi. Based on his tactical skills, Shinji doesn't think he can think of this level.

——Knowing that his Bone Patterned Giant Crocodile has the "Pure" characteristic, it ignores all changes in abilities except speed.

He even deliberately let the Red Lotus Armor Knight get close to the Bone Pattern Giant Crocodile, inducing him to command the Bone Pattern Giant Crocodile to launch a close attack, further triggering the "Shattered Armor" feature of the Red Lotus Armor Knight, infinitely expanding the speed advantage.

How could Xiaozhi possibly think of so much?
Shinji felt that he was thinking too much.

"Purity" is undoubtedly a double-edged sword. For example, in the top battle of the league between Neemo and Yeci, which Shinji also paid close attention to, if the Bone Patterned Crocodile could be brought on the field to fight against the Dragon Dance stacked Dragon Barto, the opponent's BUFF could be treated as if it did not exist at all.

But this double-edged sword will occasionally become a sharp knife that stabs the Bone Pattern Giant Crocodile, just like now, even though the Red Lotus Armor Knight's double defense is reduced because of the armored agricultural cannon, but because of the influence of "simplicity", the Bone Pattern Giant Crocodile cannot enjoy this benefit.

Even if Crocodile launches a close attack now to trigger Crimson Knight's "Shattered Armor", if the Pokémon is not replaced, it will only bring a positive benefit to the opponent by significantly increasing its speed.

No matter how you think about it, it's not worth it.

"In that case. Yawn!"

Shinji narrowed his eyes and took advantage of the fact that the Bone Pattern Giant Crocodile was resisting the "Charged Flame Attack" of the Red Lotus Armor Knight. He did not choose to launch a close combat, but chose to play dirty.

Before the Red Lotus Armor Knight jumped away, the Bone Patterned Giant Crocodile opened its mouth wide and a pure white breath - oh no, the smoke - sprayed all over the Red Lotus Armor Knight's face.

"Kaishi——"

The Red Lotus Armored Rider took several steps back, and an intense sleepiness suddenly came over him.

"Oh no!" Xiaozhi's exclamation came from a distance.

This further proves that the fight between Shinji's left and right brains just now was useless. Xiaozhi didn't think that much at all, he just rushed forward simply.

I don't know if it was out of annoyance or shame, but veins popped out on Shinji's forehead, and he looked like I was stupid for expecting Satoshi to think, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Misfortunes never come singly!"

The bone-patterned giant crocodile was surrounded by purple-red mist, and faint light suddenly burst out from its body. The mist condensed into a substantial energy torrent, rushing forward with the power of a mournful and resentful soul!

The Red Lotus Armored Knight was kneeling on one knee, already exhausted. Caught off guard, it was penetrated directly by the purple-red energy.

In an instant, its body trembled violently, as if its nerves were being torn by countless sharp thorns.

——Even if the negative effects of the Kaino-gun are eliminated by "Purity", the Special Attack +1 after the Flash is a real improvement.

In addition, the Red Lotus Armor Knight was already in an abnormal state of "sleeping" at this time, and the power of "Misfortunes never come alone" was directly doubled.

Given its physique, it would probably be unable to withstand such an attack.

In other words, even if it had 100,000 lives, it would not be able to withstand this "double misfortune".

With a thud, the Red Lotus Armored Knight could no longer maintain the kneeling posture on one knee, and his body fell to the ground due to the loss of support.

The eyes that should have been in deep sleep were now replaced by circles that represented fainting.

The referee raised the blue flag representing Xiaozhi and announced loudly: "The Crimson Knight has lost his ability to fight, and the Bone Pattern Crocodile wins!"

wow——

After a brief silence, the venue was suddenly filled with noisy sounds coming from all directions.

The commentator passionately explained: "Surprisingly——"

"The first fallen Pokémon has appeared!"

"Contestant Shinji takes the lead! Contestant Xiaozhi lost the Crimson Knight that performed extremely well in the previous few games!!!"

The commentator's extremely loud shouting hit Luo Mu's eardrums at home through the speakers. He picked up the steaming mug in front of him, which was filled with hot cocoa that Zhi Huixing had just filled, and took a sip with an expressionless face.

Immediately, he put down the mug and said softly: "A meaningless sacrifice is no different from giving away a head."

Not bad.

In Luo Mu's opinion, the Crimson Armor Knight lost its combat capability entirely because of Xiaozhi's recklessness and mistakes.

Although there is a better way to fight against Crocodile, Xiaozhi personally handed "the sword" that can quickly defeat Crimson Knight to Shinji.

——It's somewhat disappointing.

Fortunately, I didn't teach him formally, otherwise Xiaozhi's performance just now would be enough to ruin his reputation in the education industry.

On the contrary, Shinji is much more normal.

"However, for a trainer like Xiaozhi, a momentary mistake may be accumulating more amazing inspiration."

"It's just your first win, but it's not time to let your guard down, Shinji."

After Luo Mu said this to himself, his eyes continued to stay on the TV.

It's far from time to let down your guard.
Shinji, who was always alert in his mind, did not relax because of his temporary victory. He squinted his eyes and observed Xiaozhi who was lowering his head on the other side of the rocky venue, waiting for his move.

On the other hand, Xiaozhi was not hit by the temporary failure. He just forced himself to follow what Luo Mu taught him before. After reviewing the problem of the previous battle, he apologized to the Poké Ball in his hand: "I'm sorry, it was my command error."

"Pikapi?"

At Ash's feet, Pikachu, who still had marks from the sharp stone attack on his body, looked at him with some concern.

In response, Xiaozhi just smiled and said comfortingly: "I'm fine, sorry to have made you worry, Pikachu."

"Pikapi!"

A smile immediately broke out on Pikachu's face. He performed a set of Rat Military Boxing with great vigor, and was eager to rush to the battlefield.

Unfortunately, Xiaozhi raised his hand and pressed it down, saying apologetically, "It's not your turn yet, let it take over first."

After straightening his back again, Xiaozhi looked at the Bone-Patterned Crocodile and Shinji, and felt his heartbeat speed up again. He took a deep breath, and the Poké Ball in his hand was thrown high into the air by the powerful wrist force.

"The decision is yours, Great Wang Yan!"

"Hiss—!"

In response to Xiaozhi, a powerful cry came from high in the sky.

The audience looked up at the sky and saw the silhouette of a huge swallow with black feathers, red face, red chest and white belly bathed in the scorching sun.

The shadow cast by the broad wings seemed to block out the sun, casting a shadow.

——The "home bird" of the Hoenn region, usually associated with the flying royal swallow!
"Wow--!"

Even though her neck was sore, Nimo was unwilling to stop looking up.

There is no other reason.

She just thought that Xiaozhi's action of throwing the Poké Ball to release the King Swallow was so cool.

Whether it is strength, parabola or angle, it is impeccable. I really want to learn from him in this area.
As a pitching loser, Nimo was extremely envious.

——She also wants to throw the Poké Ball in such a cool way!

"Great King Yan?"

At the battlefield below, Shinji murmured in a low voice, but had no intention of replacing the Bone Patterned Giant Crocodile.

the reason is simple.

Even though the King Swallow's general attributes blocked the Bone Patterned Crocodile's ghost-type moves, it still had fire-attribute moves to use.

Of course, this also applies to the Swallow, it can still use its signature Flying-type moves, but as far as Shinji knows, Satoshi's Swallow does not have the "Courage" trait, so there is no need to worry about it using any unexpected Normal-type or Fighting-type moves.

At present, the Bone Patterned Crocodile with Special Attack +1 is still in the advantage!

"Flashing Flame Sing!"

It is still the same "Flashing Flame Song" without changing its essence. In Shinji's opinion, the "Flashing Flame Song" that can strengthen the attack is far more powerful in tactical value than some high-powered moves with negative effects.

Along with the unique singing voice of the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile, the sound waves vibrate the fireball with "soul" at the tip of its nose, turning it into a soaring firebird, flying towards the king swallow circling in the sky.

If you look closely, the flying flamingo looks somewhat similar to the legendary Pokémon Moltres from the Kanto and Johto regions.

It was as if the Bone-Patterned Crocodile had seen it before and tried to give the fireball a more concrete form through its song.

"Don't be afraid, use your perseverance to break through it, and use Yan Fan!"

Xiaozhi's shouts were accurately heard by the King Swallow in the sky. It cried out again, and its peripheral vision fell on the firebird transformed by "Flashing Flame Song" that was chasing after it from behind.

A gleam of light flashed in the king swallow's eyes, and it spread its wings and rose rapidly.

The Firebird followed under the sonic control of the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile's continued singing.

But at this moment, the King Swallow's rapidly rising body suddenly stopped, drew a huge flying loop at an incredible angle, and turned to crash into the back of the Firebird, which had no time to adjust its posture!
Bang-!
Shan Yan Gao Ge was immediately torn into a big hole by the fierce airflow around the King Swallow, and he completely lost control and exploded in the sky.

At the same time, the King Swallow, which had pierced through the singing of the shining flame, had adjusted its flying posture and dived towards the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile.

The commentator was so shocked that he shouted, "Oh my God! After losing once, Xiaozhi chose to fight in close combat again!!!"

Shinji also did not miss the figure of the Great King Swallow, and murmured in a deep voice: "Good flying skills. But, you obviously haven't learned your lesson yet."

——Fighting in close combat with the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile is equivalent to exposing your back to the range of its "yawn" that may be released at any time!

"Wing attack!"

The wings of the King Swallow were stretched to their maximum extent, enveloped by dazzling white light and the air currents entwined around them, like a sharp blade from heaven that cut through the air, instantly cutting across the back of the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile and causing a series of explosions.

"Bear it, and sing the flare!"

Shinji's expression remained unchanged as he waved his hand again to give orders.

However, this time, the Flashing Flame Song was still broken by the King Swallow who used "Swallow Return" after escaping from the attack after using "Wing Attack".

But even so, Shinji was not in a hurry at all.

——After all, the special attack of the Bone-Pattern Crocodile is steadily stacking.

"be lazy!"

Knowing that it would be difficult for the King Swallow's attack to cause huge damage to the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile in a short period of time, Shinji chose without hesitation to let the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile use the "lazy" move to recover its lost physical strength.

Naturally, the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile, which remained motionless and unable to fight back, was directly bombarded by the King Swallow's air blade.

But just at the moment when the King Swallow, under Xiaozhi's command, once again used "wing attack" to sweep across the back of the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile.

The bone-patterned giant crocodile, which had closed its eyes, suddenly opened its eyelids, and its body, which had been crawling, suddenly stood up!

"--yawn."

Shinji's voice reached every corner of the venue.

Looking at the King Swallow covered by the white smoke emitted by the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile, a smile appeared on his face, as if everything was going according to plan.

The timing was just right.

The commentator slammed the table excitedly and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Another hit—!"

"Shinji's Bone Pattern Giant Crocodile, Yawn move hits again!!!"

"Oops!"

In the audience, Xiaosheng subconsciously stood up from his seat and looked towards the rocky venue with a worried look on his face.

At this moment, the giant swallow's body, which was trying to fly away, was already shaky.

——If this continues, even the Great Swallow will
Just as this thought came to Xiaosheng's mind, Xiaozhi below suddenly burst into a shout that drowned out the decibels of the noisy audience.

"Hold on! Show your perseverance, King Yan!!!"

"Brave Bird Attack!!!"

“Hiss—Bah!!!”

As if Xiaozhi's words had injected a shot of adrenaline into the bird, the king swallow's shaky body suddenly became firm, and boiling blue flames swirled in front of its beak.

Brave Bird Attack and it is a Brave Bird Attack that triggers the "Perseverance" characteristic of the King Swallow!

Even though Shinji reacted immediately and let the Bone Patterned Giant Crocodile release the fourth "Flashing Flame Song".

But before the sound waves could shape the fireball on the tip of the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile's nose, due to the close distance, the King Swallow's "Brave Bird Attack" had already exploded on the side of the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile.

In the violent explosion, the bone-patterned giant crocodile was directly blown away by the huge impact force and deeply embedded in the wall below the audience seats.

Seeing the circle eyes appearing, the referee immediately announced: "Shinji's Bone Pattern Crocodile has lost its ability to fight! Xiaozhi's King Swallow wins!"

In an instant, thunderous cheers erupted from the audience.

At this moment, Shinji was silently looking at the King Swallow, who looked as energetic as if he had taken medicine, with several question marks popping up in his head.

".You must be joking."

Padia region.

Luo Mu, who was sitting at home, stood up subconsciously because of this sudden counterattack.

After being silent for a while, he finally sat down on the sofa with a helpless look on his face.

".Is your King Swallow, which ignores "sleep" and can trigger the "perseverance" characteristic, legal?"
