This elf world is a bit strange

The heavy breathing revealed that it was not in good condition at all, and Lepu behind it felt depressed.

Looking at Emperor Nabo, who was ready to attack again, and the complicated hillside, he came up with another plan: "Grecoil, use Quicksand Abyss!"

"Chaao!"

The khaki energy condensed between the claws of the Land Shark and shot towards the ground like a dancing ribbon.

The hard rocks turned into yellow sand, causing sandstorms; the solid ground turned into quicksand, forming whirlpools.

Ground-attributed environmental skills are more effective on rocky grounds. In an instant, the battlefield changes dramatically.

The drone used for the live broadcast could only see flying sand in the sky. Several Rotoms flew out from the back and took over the live broadcast, allowing the people in the audience to see the blurry picture again.

In just a short moment, most of Emperor Nabo's body was swallowed up by the quicksand and he was shrunken in the whirlpool.

In the sky, the majestic Land Shark's momentum rose steadily, and Lepu's shout followed:

"Greco, another earthquake! Kill it!"

Rising into the air, diving, and falling to the ground, the attack of the Land Shark was like mercury pouring out of the ground, vowing to destroy the Emperor Nabo, who was just showing his might but now became a fish on the chopping board, with one blow.

However, just before the fall of Garchomp caused an earthquake, Firion on the command seat and Emperor Nabo in the sandstorm nodded slightly at the same time, and then:

"Emperor Napoleon, water cannon!"

"Enpe!"

The extremely thick column of water hit the soft mud and sand under the feet.

With the momentum of the water flow, Emperor Nabo, who was trapped in the quicksand, soared into the sky and rushed diagonally forward, drawing a wet arc.

The dancing water and splashing water were endless, and most of the yellow sand in the sky was reduced at this moment, revealing the clear true appearance of the battlefield.

Unlike the environmental warfare tactics that Xiaozhi and Pikachu will demonstrate in the waterfall venue in the future, King Naboo relied solely on his own stored water energy to defeat Garchomp's carefully arranged killing plan in one fell swoop.

The shaking earth and the mighty earth dragon that spared no effort made all the preparations in vain.

Land Shark, whose legs felt like they were filled with lead, looked up blankly. Emperor Nabo, who was riding the water, was approaching from afar.

The direction of the water cannon was towards him!

Alarm bells rang in his heart. Realizing that something was wrong and with no way to retreat, Lu Shark had to shout to gather his strength, spread his wings, closed his eyes and walked forward.

However, the expected collision between Mars and Earth did not occur.

"Shh-"

Its sharp wings cut through the air, and its streamlined body brushed past the Land Shark, which was fighting with all its might. One could even feel the lethality brought by its rough skin.

But in the end, we just passed each other.

The wings lightly touched the rock layer, and the huge but agile body instantly unloaded the force and landed steadily behind the Land Shark.

"Gruisle, behind! Stomp!"

"Emperor Nabo, freezing beam."

Clear shouts that were indistinguishable from each other came from both sides of the battlefield at the same time. In the close combat, let alone one second, even a moment that was difficult to measure was precious.

From hearing the command, to turning around, to raising his leg and putting it down, even Land Shark, who had been with Lepp for many years, was unable to respond seamlessly and instantly.

But Emperor Nabo can.

Not only that, but it also saves the step of turning around.

This detail, which is always overlooked in daily life, is now Firion's calculation and the death warrant for Garchomp.

When it turned around, it was too late.

"Enpe!"

Amidst the deep roar, a shining silver cold light had already condensed in Emperor Nabo's mouth, and shot out the moment Land Shark raised its leg to step on him.

"boom--"

The absolute cold exploded on Land Shark's chest, blooming into a beautiful but cold ice flower.

The place where water mist and yellow sand intertwined was instantly shrouded in a chill. Water droplets and flying sand mixed into mud spots, which then turned into a mixture of ice and water and fell to the ground.

Even in the audience seats far away and separated by an energy platform, those in the nearby rows could feel the bone-chilling cold.

When the beam of light dissipated, only a lifelike ice sculpture remained standing in front of Emperor Nabo.

"Groshark has lost its ability to fight! The winner is King Napo! The score is now 2-0, Firion is leading, please ask Lepu to change the Pokémon!"

This time, there was no need for any reminder from Firio or Emperor Napo, as the referee wearing anti-sand glasses rushed into the battlefield at the first moment.

Without any effort, the two powerful Pokémon, which had impressive strength but each had their own shortcomings, were caught by the Emperor's fleeting weaknesses and flaws like a butcher cutting up an ox, and were pursued and attacked relentlessly, eventually being completely defeated.

......

......

“Inhale…exhale…”

Lepu's chest rose and fell due to his heavy breathing. In just a moment of picking up the Poké Ball to take back Garchomp, his palms were already wet, and the thin clothes he wore under his coat were also soaked with sweat.

It was only a moment, but he seemed more tired than a whole day of training and fighting.

Firion and Emperor Nabo, who were calm but intimidating without being angry, made him dare not slack off at all. His nerves were extremely tense, and countless thoughts flashed on and off. This had never happened even when he was facing his father, the powerful king.

Could it be... that he is as strong as my uncle? No, it's impossible...

Throwing the ridiculously exaggerated idea out of his mind, he bit the tip of his tongue hard. Amid the pain, Lepu barely broke free from the invisible wave created by his superpowers and Firion's own aura.

With his right hand, he touched his waist, and the Poké Ball carrying his trump card at the moment was firmly placed in his palm. His sleeves slightly faded away, revealing the key stone embedded in the bracelet, which was embellished with countless precious gems.

"Leave it to you, Lucario, mega evolution!"

Under Firio's slightly strange gaze, Lepu revealed his true trump card, which he had hidden for many rounds of competition until this moment.

The colorful glow of the bond lit up, and the shining ribbons wrapped around Lucario. The majestic momentum was not too different from that of the Emperor Nabo at the moment. They were almost on the same level, but were a little inferior in accumulation.

Mega Lucario

Sex: male

Attributes: fighting, steel

Trait: Adaptability

Energy accumulation: 52

"Lucario, wave missile!"

As soon as he appeared, the nervous Lepu immediately urged Mega Lucario to launch an attack. Even though Emperor Nabo was extremely agile, he was full of confidence in his partner's mobility and offensive means.

With the blessing of wave power, Mega Lucario with the adaptability characteristic is his most powerful weapon that can make him invincible. Even Garchomp is far inferior to it.

The thick waveguide instantly condensed into a crystal ball of light and smashed towards Emperor Nabo, who remained calm but on high alert.

"Emperor Nabo, water wave, block it!"

The opponent's extraordinary strength made Firio a little more serious. With a wave of his hand, Emperor Nabo immediately condensed a rotating water-colored energy ball and met the enemy head-on.

In the evenly matched head-on collision, the fluctuations of energy intertwined and disappeared into thin air.

The afterglow of the explosion was still ringing in their ears, and the two Pokémon who were also planning a feint attack rushed forward at the same time.

"Lucario, split the tiles and absorb the punch!"

The extremely swift figure passed through the complex terrain, aggressive as fire, with weapons all over his body, just like a first-class fighter. Every punch and palm was full of master style, and every move was aimed at the vital points and weaknesses of Emperor Nabo.

However, compared to Korne's Lucario, with whom she had trained almost every day, this little guy in front of her, who looked so imposing, seemed to be lacking in strength.

Faced with its fierce attack, Emperor Nabo, who had just rushed forward to meet it and was ready for a head-on fight, dodged again and again under Firio's command, like an extremely slippery loach, moving left and right, making Mega Lucario's continuous attacks fruitless.

After a long period of attack without success, not only did Lepu, who was eager to decide the outcome, become anxious, but Mega Lucario, who was already trapped by the raging Wave after his evolution, became annoyed. He couldn't help but look down on the strong but cowardly Emperor Nabo, and relaxed his guard a little. From the initial 70% offense and 30% defense, he almost turned into only offense and no defense.

His eyes, which were almost blazing with flames, were filled with thoughts on how to completely defeat the opponent in front of him. His moves became more and more brutal, and his strength and speed reached the peak of what he could reach at the moment. With the help of his adaptability, he almost exceeded the limit of what he could control.

"Luca!"

While shouting, Mega Lucario felt that his condition was better than ever. No matter how slippery the big penguin in front of him was, he would lose if he defended it for too long. If he let it find a flaw, it would not have the room to fight back or adjust.

Just catch a flaw!

if only……!

The enhanced fist containing the power of wave guidance was swung out heavily, heading straight for Emperor Nabo's strong waist, determined to win.

However, the unavoidable attack was dodged by Emperor Nabo by taking a step back as he suddenly quickened his pace by three points.

Unexpected.

Unexpected means flaws.

A punch was thrown without reservation, and the originally stable center of gravity was briefly shifted for a moment.

No one would care at first, and even if they discovered it, it would be too late to capture it.

However, Mega Lucario, who was thinking about how to continue the attack, "saw" through its sensitive waveguide a hint of mockery in Firion's eyes and the coldness in Emperor Nabo's body.

"Emperor Napo! Water jet!"

In a flash, Firio's roar was heard ahead of time.

The surging water light was lingering on the surface of Emperor Nabo, and his huge body was like a snake head that suddenly popped out. During the brief period of Mega Lucario's exhaustion, it slammed into its arms, easily separated its parrying arms, and pressed against its tough chest muscles that had been trained hard.

"bang"

Caught off guard, Mega Lucario's center of gravity was completely out of control. He staggered backwards, raised his arms, and quietly condensed two energy bone sticks, ready to be thrown out to block Emperor Nabo's attack.

But this cover-up skill, which had almost become an instinct and had always worked, was completely ineffective in front of Emperor Nabo.

His forward steps were still steady, his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and his broad body seemed to be unbound by the rules. He just slightly dodged left and right twice and perfectly avoided the bone stick that was thrown out.

The front was lost, and as they advanced and retreated, Emperor Nabo was already in front of them.

The wings swung, and the shining white light contained an aura that was familiar to Mega Lucario, yet dangerous and unfamiliar.

The same [Tile Splitting] seemed to be even more powerful on the opponent than on himself after being blessed with adaptability.

"Luca!"

With a cry of surprise, the arms across his chest felt an unprecedented strength.

The stable supporting structure suddenly collapsed, and the strong and powerful arms felt as if they were hit by a heavy hammer, causing extreme pain.

It stumbled and just about to steady its steps, but it was no longer able to support itself and had to continue retreating, exerting force with its feet in an attempt to create distance and fight back. However, this time, it was shocked to find that even though it was almost at its limit, it still could not create any distance.

Emperor Nabo moved quickly, like a tiger following closely, and pounced again.

"Swish"

The wings formed an "X" shape and quickly cut down the wide-open gate of Mega Lucario with ease.

[Swallow Returns]...So fast!

The fear in Mega Lucario's eyes had not yet subsided. A thought flashed through his mind, and severe pain came like a tide, making his vision blurry.

"Bam—"

......

......

"What a skillful technique. It seems... a bit like that of the Daigo champion?"

On the rostrum, watching Emperor Nabo's devastating offensive, Yan Kai, who advocated head-on confrontation, nodded repeatedly.

Gently stroking his chin with faint stubble, the steel king seemed to be thinking about something.

He seemed to realize something.

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

"Mega Lucario lost his ability to fight, and the winner is Emperor Nabo! The final score is 3-0, and Firion won and advanced to the upper half of the regional finals!"

The referee's decisive voice announced the sad departure of yet another young trainer who came here with dreams in his heart.

After a quick handshake with Firio, Lepu, who came with high hopes but left with disappointment, left in a hurry, walked out of his own side of the passage, and seemed to have gone directly out of the Miale Arena.

Unlike his predecessors who had to stumble and struggle their way to the top, he has been smooth sailing since his debut. With precious Pokémon and his family's financial support, he has not yet built up a strong heart to face failure.

Such experience may be an important and indispensable part of his growth.

However, this has nothing to do with Firion.
