This elf world is a bit strange

But the die is cast, and today's travel plans have to be shelved.

I still want to find an opportunity to spend more time with that big piece of wood...

Holding her chin with one hand in sorrow, Korni scratched her hair irritably.

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

"Teacher Thornton... why are you guarding me like a thief? Didn't I tell you that I turned down the event? Can you please stop hanging around in front of me? Go find Antoine, he hasn't even started yet."

Looking at Thornton who kept turning in front of him, Philio felt helpless.

No one would feel good if the pure, lovely and beautiful girl in front of him turned into a burly, dark-skinned man.

Especially when Firio wanted to take the opportunity to attack Korni indirectly.

"Antoine is just a kid who can't even be a substitute in Miare, so there's no need to worry about him. But you are full of bad intentions. If I'm not paying attention, you will run out to have fun. Don't think I don't know that you are going to see our owner girl! I have plenty of time for love affairs, and I don't need these few days."

Thornton saw through this lazy student of his at a glance and directly exposed Philio's little thoughts, making him very embarrassed.

"Hey... don't accuse me of being unsympathetic. Just wait and see. With what you did today, we are all young people. Those little guys who are worth watching will definitely not be able to resist and will come up with something real. It won't hurt for you to study it in advance. Although the dream monster is strong, it is not without weaknesses. It is always a good idea to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses."

Seeing that Filio was speechless, Thornton changed his style, sat next to him, taught him earnestly, then pulled him over and headed towards area No. 2.

There, a battle that, although not fierce, is quite popular, is about to begin.

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

"Alora!"

The fat boy Shashajin shook hands with his opponent enthusiastically with a big smile on his face, just like a sunny and cheerful boy next door.

But the moment he stood at the command seat, his temperament suddenly changed, as if he was a giant beast from the rainforest, majestic without even being angry.

"Go, Rumble Rock! Roll!"

The Poké Ball was thrown, and the Alola Rhydon, which was twice its size, immediately rolled forward at a speed that was in stark contrast to its bulky appearance.

"Koga Ninja, shadow clone!"

The opponent on the opposite side was not an easy one to deal with either. Seeing that Rhydon's strength was more terrifying than expected, he immediately chose a conservative tactic, hoping to delay and wait for changes.

Countless illusions spread across the battlefield, and the real entity was nowhere to be found.

The high-speed rolling Alola Rhydon suddenly lost its target.

But Shashajin seemed to have expected this. He waved his hand and roared loudly: "Longlongyan, full force of 100,000 volts!"

"Go!"

Alola Rhydon was already used to his trainer's loud voice, and responded with an equally rough voice.

Lightning flashed and countless golden snakes danced.

In a flash, dozens of illusions disappeared, and the real Greninja was revealed under the sweep of the electric current, looking in great pain.

"Actually...paralyzed?"

Offstage, Firio frowned.

With the power of Alola Rhodon, it is extremely difficult to induce paralysis after infinite subdivision of 100,000 volts. Either one has extremely good luck, or the energy development is extremely deep.

"How about it, do you have any new understanding of the trump card of your semi-final opponent?"

Thornton stood with his arms folded, satisfied that Filho had finally gotten serious.

"It's a bit interesting, but it's no match for the Dream Demon."

The corners of Firion's mouth curled up beautifully, and his confidence in the dream demon was unlimited.

"Madge!"

The dream demon who had been dozing off also perked up a little, but not because the opponent was very strong.

Although this Alola Rhydon is very agile among its kind, it is still too clumsy compared to it.

What really interested it was the 100,000 volts just now.

Although he has only mastered it recently, with the perfect-level electromagnetic waves as a foundation, Meng Yao's understanding of 100,000 volts can be said to be in-depth.

Seeing that Alola Rhydon had developed such an interesting use, it also secretly thought about it and decided to find time to study it.

"As long as you have confidence."

Thornton didn't say much. As long as Philio knew what was going on, he wouldn't worry.

As they were talking, the battle on the stage was coming to an end.

Having lost its mobility, Greninja was just a lamb to be slaughtered, while Alola Rhydon descended like a prehistoric behemoth, with its attack like a tidal wave, one higher than the other.

Soon, Greninja was forced into a corner of the battlefield, covered in wounds.

"Final attack, Rumble Rock, Thunder Fist!"

"bang"

The heavy punch, full of lightning, landed unhindered on Greninja's abdomen.

Screaming in pain, the determined ninja fell to his knees, no longer able to fight.

"Firio, Alola!"

After a brief greeting, standing in the center of the battlefield, the sharp-eyed Shashakin spotted Firion, who was deep in thought in the audience, and waved vigorously to greet him.

He was only happy that potential competitors came to watch his game in advance.

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

The performance of Filio and Big Mouth seemed to really, as Thornton said, stir the nerves of a group of young students at an age when their blood boils easily.

One after another, powerful gym-level Pokémon entered the arena.

For many, this is the debut of their ace Pokémon.

Portis, the chief of the White Sand Academy, commanded his Heracross and defeated the Parasaurolophus of a student from the Miare Academy like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Mi Lei, the chief of the Aromatherapy Academy, and her aromatherapists, used continuous long-range attacks to defeat their opponents.

The trump card of the Biyi Academy, the foreign aid Nanako, although not as domineering as Sasakion, also sent out its ace Pokémon, the Chameleon with an energy accumulation of level 45, which defeated its opponent with ease and did not even give him a chance to touch it.

The agile posture and precise sniping are completely different styles from the head-on confrontation with Shashajin.

As for Firio's final potential opponent in the first area, Sean, he also sent out his much-grown ace Nine-Tails, who was much stronger than Nanako. He used his superpowers and fire to defeat a student from the same school.

Miare Academy's Hideki Kazama and Doris...

Arsene, the superpower from Bai Ke Academy...

......

......

The battles went on round after round.

As expected, Dorothea and Jaynes' individual competition journey came to an end today.

Janes' Roserade had almost no power to fight back against Rosaline's Fiery Eagle. After just a few moves, she was caught by the Flash Charge and knocked to the ground.

As for Dorothea, although she was also a trainer of the Fiery Falcon, she was still much inferior to Rosaline. Even though the opponent she faced was just a substitute from Miare Academy, she still lost after a hard fight and missed the top 32 by a hair's breadth.

Both of them were very open-minded about the failure. After coming down from the battlefield, they immediately changed their roles and began to give advice to Apé and Antoine who were about to appear.

Years of daily interaction in the academy and the school's deliberate cultivation have made the friendship between generations of Shala College students, regardless of their abilities, at least quite deep, and the team's cohesion is also among the best in the world.

"Okay, teacher, and everyone, just watch me!"

"No, no, no, you should look at me!"

Before going on the field, the two men made up their minds secretly while bickering with each other while holding the Poké Balls of Brickell and Meerkat in their hands respectively.

They want to use their strength to prove to everyone that the Salo Academy is not supported by only Firio. They are not only good at individual competitions, but also will be the champions of the team competition.

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

"Brickalon, full force mallet!"

"Poli!"

The solid shell is its shield. Under Antoine's command, Bricaron did not dodge or evade, but rushed forward despite the fierce attack of the Aiya Ball Mushroom.

"Bam—"

As if hitting a baseball, the body of the Aiyaqiu Mushroom flew backwards and landed on the energy barrier.

In the command seat opposite Antoine, Erwin from Miare College seemed to see himself two months ago.

Everything is so similar.

"Oh, the ball mushroom has lost its ability to fight. The winner is, Brickalon! The winner is Antoine from Sala College!"

"Hey......"

With a long sigh, Erwin resigned himself to his fate and took back his companion, then walked forward with heavy steps.

He already had some psychological trauma towards Sara College.

......

......

"Mongoose Slash, Quick Attack, Lightning Flash, and then Cross Scissors!"

While Antoine was winning with a strong victory, Apé's battle was also becoming more intense.

Faced with a giant vine that was powerful, rooted in the ground, and determined to fight a protracted battle with him, Apei showed no weakness and threw a powerful punch forward with passion.

"Sanger!"

Shining Mongoose Slash let out a loud roar and rushed forward rapidly, like a purple and white phantom, nimbly dodging the attacking vines and arriving next to the giant vine in the blink of an eye.

"Swish"

The blow, so fast that it was difficult to see with the naked eye, flashed past people's eyes.

Before he could react, Mongoose Slash had already pulled away.

"Zi La"

After a moment, two intersecting scars slowly appeared on the giant vine.

Even with the blessing of being rooted, it could not continue and fell to the ground in pain.

"The giant vine has lost its ability to fight. The winner is Mongoose Slash! The winner is Ape from Sala College!"

At almost the same time, the hosts of the two regional competitions announced the two victories of Sha Luo College.

Two powerful gym-level Pokémon stood in the center of the battlefield, receiving countless gazes.

Although separated by a simple wall, Antoine and Apé still looked at each other from a distance, a faint feeling of joy rising from the bottom of their hearts.

From this moment on, their names were no longer just a foil to Firion, but rising stars like him that emerged from Sala.

Sala, located in a remote area, once again had three students enter the top 32 of the individual competition. There was still no foreign aid and it was a completely local and school-based competition.

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

Sara College, inside the principal's office.

Muriel's hands were shaking with excitement.

Although he knew that these two victories were already a foregone conclusion, he still found it difficult to suppress his joy.

Milia, who always liked to complain about her teacher, seemed particularly considerate at this moment. She poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him.

"Just play normally and don't get excited so early. There will be plenty of opportunities later. If you keep doing this, I won't let you watch the rest of the game. You are an old man, why are you so impatient?"

In the end, Milia couldn't help herself.

Muriel was so angry that he was fuming, but there was nothing he could do about his favorite disciple.

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

"Walter, they've all gone all out, and you're holding back?"

In the audience, Latonie felt puzzled and bewildered as she watched this nominal student who had changed so much in just a few days.

Ever since the long conversation that night, he seemed like a different person. Not only was he no longer as domineering as before, but he was even too low-key.

"It doesn't mean anything. I just want to meet Firion in the finals as soon as possible. I want him to know that I'm not just a fool, that's all."
