This elf world is a bit strange

"Swish"

In a split second, Infernape's punch almost missed Eevee. In the blink of an eye, before it even hit the ground, Eevee had already fled away again.

The kick that was ready to strike also landed in the empty space.

After putting some distance between them, Ibrahimovic turned around, his mental strength ready to go.

"Ibrahimovic, meditate and back off!"

To its surprise, Firio did not decide to attack, but instead issued a reinforcement order.

Although it was confused, it instinctively trusted Firion's orders.

"Buy!"

With a flash of blue light, Ibrahimovic's momentum increased again, but instead of advancing, he retreated and continued to run backwards.

The evolution stone worn on the body sparkles.

Filio saw clearly the tactics against Lan Ke early on.

But considering that opportunities to perform in actual combat are not easy to come by, and that Ibrahimovic's foundation still needs to be further polished in his opinion, he chose to continue to fight conservatively and give the opponent a chance to show himself and hone Ibrahimovic.

......

......

Between attack and defense, Eevee used its high-speed running and telekinesis protection, as well as the vague predictive ability learned from Gejihua, to greatly enhance its reaction ability. No matter how Infernape performed or how Ranko commanded, it could not touch a single hair of it.

Rock blockade.

Cross split.

Heavy stomping.

Using highly skilled skills, he bravely attacked Ibrahimovic, but all he got in return was endless beatings on the air.

Clusters of fine sand were dug out by Eevee's little claws and sprinkled on Infernape's face, making it even more furious.

"When facing a player like Firion, the moment they lose their minds, the battle is over, no matter if it's the trainer or the Pokémon."

In the commentary booth, Korni made a firm judgment.

"It's almost time to end it. That little girl has run out of tricks."

In the stands, Nazhi put on her sunglasses gently to hide her expression and spoke in a flat voice.

When Infernape is at his wits' end and falls into rage, Lan Ke's self-expression will come to an end.

......

......

Seeing that Lan Ke was gritting her teeth but had no other options, Firio's expression became serious.

It's time to end this seemingly lively battle.

"Eevee, attack! High-speed star!"

With a wave of his hand, he shouted an order.

"Buy!"

Ibrahimovic, who was already running impatiently, immediately responded loudly.

The powerful force accumulated from three full meditations transformed into countless energy stars, covering the sky and crushing the Fire Monkey who was almost out of control in rage.

The dense energy light obscured the vision of all parties on the battlefield.

"Fire Monkey, hold on!"

Lan Ke, knowing that he was no match for his opponent, shouted loudly, and a green light curtain quickly rose up.

"bang bang bang bang"

The smoke from the explosion filled the entire venue, and even Lan Ke, who was sitting in the command seat, had to squint his eyes.

"Swish"

Suddenly, a blue light pierced through the smoke and rushed straight into the sky.

"Right now, use all your strength!"

The tide of superpowers is as deep as an abyss and as vast as the ocean.

Under the gaze of Lan Ke with eyes wide open.

The blue light rising into the sky turned into an unstoppable wave, crashing against the shore.

"boom--"

The tide of energy spread in all directions.

The indestructible energy barrier actually flickered slightly.

The invisible wave passed through the barrier and lifted the hair and clothes of the people outside the venue.

......

......

"Infernape has lost his ability to fight, the winner is Eevee! The winner of the first round is Firio from Sala Academy!"

-----------------

"Congratulations, Firion, you are very strong. Thank you for giving me and Infernape this opportunity to show off."

After the failure, Lan Ke was relieved. Unlike the reserved attitude at the beginning, she shook hands with Filio in a friendly manner. Then, before Filio could react, she gently pulled him and hugged him openly, expressing her gratitude in a low voice.

After just a few seconds, Lan Ke loosened his hands and looked towards the audience seats that were filled with applause and cheers.

There, enthusiastic audiences were not only cheering and applauding Filio, but also supporting and encouraging failed and eliminated contestants like her.

"so good......"

Closing her eyes, holding the Infernape who had just woken up from a coma and calmed down for a rare time, Lan Ke enjoyed the brief moment that belonged to her.

"Well, this is your moment. I've stayed long enough. It's time to go down. I hope you can become the champion, Firion, so that I can also be the one who only loses to the champion."

After tidying up her clothes and pulling up Infernape who was trying hard to walk on his own, Lan Ke turned around, blinked her cute big eyes playfully, and walked off the stage.

"Maybe after graduation, you can come to the Sala Gym for training or challenges? I think Korni will like you."

From behind, Firio's proposal came.

"Thank you, I'll consider it~"

With a casual wave of his hand, Lan Ke strode away towards his own contestant channel.

......

......

"Buyi..."

In the invisible ocean of cheers, Ibrahimovic's eyes were slightly moist.

A few months ago, it would have been unimaginable what it is today.

From Unova to Kalos.

From an abandoned burden that was not even an ornamental pet, to a powerful Pokémon that is loved and cared for, and can win battles for its trainer with its own strength.

Just a few months seemed like a lifetime ago for Ibrahimovic.

"I promise you, this is just the beginning of our moment. There will be countless moments that are grander and more magnificent than this one, waiting for us."

Firion gently picked up Ibrahimovic and placed him on top of his head, his words filled with infinite confidence.

Bathed in the sunlight, tears sparkled in the corners of Ibrahimovic's eyes.

"Buy!"

The light on the Evolution Stone seemed to be even brighter.

-----------------

"Shuttlecock cotton! Seed machine gun!"

In site No. 2, countless tree species shot at the rice spoon snake whose body was covered with thin vines and cotton.

With a miserable howl, the giant golden and black snake fell to the ground, stirring up countless dust.

"Simon has lost his ability to fight. The winner is Jian Zimian! The winner of the first round is Antoine from Sala College!"

......

......

"Vulpix, spray flames!"

In site No. 3, the fire snake rushed forward, but the dazed-looking sunflower monster did not dodge, but just staggered in place.

The blazing fire took away its last bit of strength and also brought the summer of the young man from Gumu Town to an end.

"The Sunflower Monster has lost its ability to fight. The winner is Vulpix! The winner of the first round of the battle is Ape from Sala Academy!"

......

......

"The winner is contestant Jaynes from Sala College!"

"The winner is Dorothea from Sala College!"

Unlike Antoine and Apé who won easily despite retaining their strength, Jaynes and Dorothea who appeared together on courts 3 and 4 finally won with difficulty and advanced to the second round after deploying their ace Pokémon.

Separated in different places, the two of them simultaneously enjoyed what was likely to be the last time they cheered as winners.

He raised his arms high and waved them gently towards his supporters, who were mainly citizens of Sala, with great excitement.

"Well done, Jaynes, Dorothea, great game!"

After the game, Thornton hugged the two of them separately.

Next came the two substitute players who failed to play.

Salo College is different from a strong team like Miare College. They have thirteen places in the individual competition, which is enough for many players who failed to make the representative team to participate in the competition.

But for the Sala Academy, even as a substitute in the competition, they can only watch from the sidelines.

The two substitute players could understand the two people who were unable to control themselves due to excitement.

They felt the same joy as Jaynes and Dorothea.

Although they were unable to participate in the individual competition and were only substitutes in the ring match, they had no complaints about running around.

-----------------

"Filio, can you please talk now? We have been waiting for you for a long time. We are counting on your gossip to pass the time before the performance this afternoon."

Seeing that Filio, who had been busy with something after the game, finally came back, Sean and Doris walked up to him and urged him to hurry up and finish the previous "To be continued".

Neither of them liked the domineering Walter very much, and was even less fond of Philio, whom they had only met once or twice.

"...Oh, I remember now. Actually, I didn't say anything. He stopped me that day and said something like 'Let me show you what real strength and talent are'. Then I told him that deep inside arrogance is actually inferiority, and then I left. It's that simple."

Shrugging his shoulders, Firion collected his wandering thoughts and answered.

Philio didn't take Walter seriously at all. He was so busy with important things these two days that he almost forgot about him.

If Sean and Doris hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about it.

However, at this point, he was a little surprised by Walter's change, and asked: "Why, he is still a little touched by this? It shouldn't be, I'm not a strong mouth. After all, he is an adult, he shouldn't be so fragile, right?"

"Indeed, although it is a bit heartbreaking, it seems to be just like that. It does make sense."

Doris nodded, agreeing with what Filio said, but then she changed her mind and gave him a look with some evil amusement.

"I don't care whether he is fragile or not. Anyway, it's good the way it is now. He looks much better. He even wants to practice with us. You better be careful~"

Firion curled his lips in cooperation: "Tsk, then it seems that I did a great thing for you, but I lost this time."

"Hahaha! You are such a calculating guy!"

Laughing and patting Filio on the back, Sean felt happy.
