This elf world is a bit strange

On the underground level of the Mirror Cave, the "Trainer Rules" stipulate that for sparring here, there must be a small prize of 100 Alliance Coins, and the trainer who wins the most pocket money every day will be nominated as the "Battle Master" of the day.

Thanks to the activeness of Pogamon and Sargeantsu, Firion easily won thirteen consecutive victories and convinced many trainers who had practiced here for a long time.

During the battle, Firio's name gradually became known to everyone.

Even the travelers who have been training in the wild for many years and hardly care about worldly affairs now know Firio's strength and achievements.

Seeing that no one came forward, the young man jumped down from the flat stone that symbolized the judge's seat again, strode forward, and said with a smile:

"Since the old ones over there don't want to come, then I'll be the fourteenth one, okay? My name is Alex, I'm from Galar, and I'm going to the Battle Department of Miare University soon. I'd like to ask for advice from this year's new champion!"

"Alex...Oh, I remember now, Sean mentioned that you and Walter were in the same batch, a talent introduction program, right? This is quite interesting, come on."

Remembering the name he heard when chatting with Sean and others, Firion, who had a better understanding of the generous young man in front of him, took out the Poké Ball and took back the Pokémon that looked a little tired after six consecutive victories.

Above his head, the little dream demon could no longer wait. With a slap, he flew into the air, and a cold aura filled the air.

"Boom"

However, Firio waved his hand, a white light flashed, and the Big Mouth Boy, who had rested for a while, returned to the battlefield.

The little dream demon, who was so excited just now, could only fly back in shame.

"Madge!"

In anger, she grabbed his hair with her little hand, and Firion felt a pain in his scalp, but fortunately her hair was not pulled out.

Lord Little Dream Demon has not gotten a chance to fight yet and is very unhappy.

"Didn't we agree to let Kog'Maw fight more today? Don't be angry, little Dream Demon, I'll train you later. And look, hasn't Eevee made a move yet? You are my secret weapon."

Firion reached out his hand gently, touched the dream demon that was still throwing a tantrum, and comforted it.

"Buyi~"

"Machi~!"

......

......

"Challenger Alex versus Firion. The battle rules are 1 on 1. There are no restrictions on the use of skills. You can use the terrain. The winner will be determined by whichever side loses the ability to fight or forfeits!"

The backpacker who had just been defeated jumped onto the rock in one leap and acted as a referee with full energy.

"Hey, I think it's a good deal to use a hundred dollars of pocket money to fight a formidable opponent like you! Go ahead, my partner, the hairy troll!"

"Boom"

"Oren!"

Amid the high-pitched roars that made the blood of several travelers who loved fighting boil, a long-haired troll with dense hair, an extremely strong and tall body, and a height of more than two meters revealed its true appearance.

Hairy Troll

Sex: male

Attributes: Evil, Fairy

Ability: Heart of Mischief

Energy accumulation: 46

The long black hair provides good concealment in dim light.

Its strong muscles make every attack of it not to be underestimated.

With this hairy troll, Alex's strength is probably only slightly inferior to Sean's at the moment. In this cave, at least on the underground level, he can be said to be extremely powerful.

However, the Big Mouth Wa across from it is no longer comparable to the one in the championship. Not only has the energy been accumulated, but the progress in all aspects is far greater than the energy.

"Qido!"

Feeling the protest from the hairy troll, the hot-tempered Big Mouth Kid became furious. He roared, opened his bloody mouth, and pressed down on his opponent with a powerful spirit that far exceeded his accumulated energy.

Facing a strong enemy, Alex was in higher spirits: "Well done! Long-haired troll, go over there, build your body and then chop the tiles!"

"Oren!——"

With a long howl, the long-haired troll rushed out bravely. Its already highly developed muscles swelled even more due to the congestion, containing powerful strength.

"Sword Dance, then Iron Head."

In contrast to Alex's unrestrainedness, Firio is calm.

"Qido!"

Firion's words calmed the Big Mouth's anger. His big jaws tilted in front of his body, and a wonderful rhythm arose in the dance.

"Teng"

Stillness and movement are separated by a moment. Under the dim light, a black shadow does not retreat but advances towards the beast that is several times larger than itself.

"Bam—"

The jaws and claws collided head-on.

"Teng Teng Teng"

Big Mouth Baby took three steps back and stood firm, while the long-haired troll on the opposite side had already retreated and fell to the ground with one butt.

In the contest of strength, the smaller man won with an overwhelming advantage.

"Rush forward and keep using Iron Head."

"Hairy Troll, Flame Fist!"

The long-haired troll took a stance and looked at the big-mouthed kid rushing towards him with a serious expression.

The previous blow still caused it to feel a dull pain in its entire arm.

He clenched his teeth, calculated the distance, and suddenly threw out a flaming punch.

"call"

The blow broke through the air and hit the big mouth boy's black giant jaw.

"Retreat! Fairy Wind!"

"Teng"

At the moment before the intersection, Firion had already seen the hairy troll's back-up plan through the reflection of the mirror and gave an order.

The big-mouthed kid kicked the ground hard to stop his momentum, and a strong light pink wind blew past him.

With the help of the wind's reverse thrust, Big Mouth Baby retreated violently.

The powerful punch landed in the air, and the kick that followed also missed its target.

His right leg wrapped in white light swept across, but to no avail, causing him to lose his balance instead.

At this moment, the door in front of the hairy troll was wide open.

"Oh no! Pretend to kneel but actually bump into someone!"

Alex, realizing something was wrong, immediately gave the order.

"Now, Ironhead!"

However, it was a little late because Firio's instructions were faster.

"Boom"

“Qido!——”

One retreat and one advance, it only takes a moment.

She pushed her feet hard on the ground, and with a slight sound, her petite body filled with strength rushed out fiercely.

"whoosh"

The dark afterimage passed through everyone's sight and crashed into the arms of the long-haired troll who was about to kneel on the ground.

"Bam—"

"bang"

The long black hair did not have time to turn into countless sharp spears to pierce the big-mouthed baby.

With a dull thumping sound at the chest that was so painful that even the onlookers felt it, the sturdy body flew backwards, hit the distant wall, and slowly slid down.

The eyes that were bright and full of fighting spirit and murderous intent now became dim and lifeless.

Chapter 104: Traveler Blanca and the Fight in the Cave

"The hairy troll loses his ability to fight! The winner is Big Mouth! The winner of 100 Alliance Coins pocket money is Firion!"

The gloating backpacker ran to Alex, pulled out the banknotes with a smile, and handed them to Philio.

......

......

"It's just like the rumors say. You and your partners work much better together than we do, and your strength is ridiculously strong. I'm really envious of you."

Alex, who was born in a working-class family in Galar, had the same carefree personality as Antoine and Shashakin. Not only did he not feel any annoyance about losing the game, but he seemed very happy. He patted Firio's arm and praised him sincerely.

"In fact, the details determined the victory or defeat in the previous match. The hairy troll's attack could not be hidden under the reflection of the mirror. Moreover, the flaming fist and the kick up and down were very threatening, but they would definitely cause the center of gravity to be unstable. If they failed, they might have the opposite effect and reveal a huge flaw."

Looking at the long-haired troll in front of him who had recovered some strength after treatment, Firion gestured to imitate his opponent's previous movements.

He also had a good impression of this straightforward young man, and helped with the analysis to the best of his ability.

He could see that this underhand kick hidden behind the heavy punch was a well-designed tactic by the opponent, and it would be a good thing if it could be improved.

"I see... Really. I was so focused on attacking from both sides that I neglected my balance. Sorry, hairy troll, it's my fault."

Alex scratched his head, walked forward and touched the hairy troll's big furry head, and smiled embarrassedly.

Then, he turned around, pulled Firio up, and said, "Firio, you are so strong, do you want to come with me to meet another big brother? He is much stronger than us."

"Oh? Much better than you all?"

Firio raised his eyebrows and became interested.

Among the trainers he just defeated, almost every one of them had one or two Pokémon that were gym-level or close to gym-level.

Such strength, although not as good as the aces and young talents of each school participating in the tournament, is still quite good for ordinary traveling trainers.

It is indeed necessary to get to know trainers who are much stronger than them, and it would be even more exciting if we could have a battle with them.

"He's right. The guy named Blanka on the second underground floor is really strong. I think he's probably stronger than many gym leaders."

Upon hearing this, the backpacker walked forward and spoke with admiration.

He had seen the trainer named Blanka take serious action.

Philio nodded with a smile: "That's okay, Alex, I really want to get to know you too."

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

"...I see. You're using the flaw as bait?"

With a fist-pump, Alex suddenly realized what was going on and committed Firion's words to memory.

Walking on the road leading to the second underground floor, Firion, holding the big-mouthed baby, explained to Alex about the recent battle.

Facing an opponent like Big Mouth Wa who is very agile and has a variety of methods, as the larger party, you should use strategies while attacking strongly to make full use of the advantage of accumulated energy.

Although the ineffective lower body kick caused the hairy troll to lose balance and revealed a huge flaw on his chest, it actually provided an opportunity to lure the enemy deeper.

If Alex and the Hairy Troll had enough chemistry, just like Watt and the Saltstone Troll in the tournament final, they could use their body's inertia to stomp their feet or pretend to kneel and then actually bump into each other more quickly. Even if they couldn't win, they would have a chance to lose both to the Big Mouth.

In a fierce battle where victory or defeat is decided in a split second, this can be used as a small trump card and backup plan.

Even if its huge body is not as explosive as its opponent's, it still has the advantages of weight and limb energy. The outcome of the fight is still unknown.

Such tactical details were like a wake-up call to a straightforward trainer like Alex. He nodded repeatedly and looked at Firion with a little more respect.

As they were talking, they followed the natural slope and entered the deepest part of the cave.

Compared to the two floors above, the second underground floor is much dimmer. The sparse light moss emits a faint light. Although it is not so dark that you can't see your hand in front of you, you still need a flashlight or searchlight to see clearly in the distance.

The number of trainers coming here for special training is already small, and their levels are relatively high, and the sounds of fighting can often be heard.

It was a battle between specially trained personnel and a small group of the strongest wild Pokémon in the area.
