This elf world is a bit strange

......

......

On the court, facing Filio's exclamation, Aqiao smiled without saying a word, just waved his hand with a relaxed look, and revealed the extremely familiar tactics that Filio could see through at a glance.

"Jelly Egg, get smaller!"

It is a state-of-play style that is almost as famous as the Mischief Heart. It is an extremely mature tactic accumulated by the Joey family over hundreds of years, the shrinking flow.

There is no doubt that the seemingly straightforward young man standing opposite Firio has at least understood the core idea of ​​this tactic.

"Elu..."

Although he didn't know the other party's strength, the Wind Fairy's instinct as a master of mischief made him realize that this little fat boy who looked naive but had extremely sharp eyes was not as simple and easy to bully as he appeared.

Sensing some kind of provocation, its eyes became sharp.

"Chicken egg... natural recovery..." Thinking back to his previous life when he was disgusted by this tactic, Firion had the urge to pull out the Dragonite, but he restrained himself and waved his hand, "Wind Fairy, tailwind!"

Facing the Jigglypuff with natural recovery properties and the blessing of the Evolution Stone, rotation would be quite troublesome. It is better to make a little test and understand the opponent's level.

Realizing Firion's intention, the Wind Fairy immediately summoned the wind whirl which he could control at will, flew up into the air with the wind, and retreated to the rear, as if he was ready to engage in a protracted battle with Chansey.

But in the blowing wind, a little bit of light yellow powder was mixed in, making it very inconspicuous.

Unfortunately, such a covert approach could not escape Aqiao's sharp eyes.

"Chicken Egg, gravity!"

At a command, terrifying energy waves surged out from the always-smiling pink giant egg, like a cage falling from the sky, pulling down the powder in the sky and the wind fairy hovering in the air.

Jigglypuff, who has inherited this extremely difficult skill, is one of the best among the seed players carefully cultivated by the Joey family. He caught the Wind Fairy and Firion off guard and won half a move.

But this was exactly what Firio intended. After testing out this skill, he immediately made a judgment.

"Come back, Wind Fairy, you did a great job! Next one, Big Mouth Baby, it's up to you!"

A red light flashed, and Firion, without any hesitation, immediately took back the Wind Fairy that had completed its mission perfectly, and threw the Poké Ball containing Sasquatch to the center of the field like a baseball throw.

Without waiting for Aqiao and Jigglypuff to react, Big Mouth Doll suddenly rushed out and took advantage of the wind to rush towards Jigglypuff, which had shrunk to be almost the same size as itself.

Since the existence of gravity makes it difficult for Dragonite to move, then use the small against the small, and the fast against the slow!

A shadow passed through the woods and, using the inertia of the Poké Ball, rushed to Chansey at a speed that was barely visible to the naked eye, and began a series of relentless attacks.

Iron Head, Bite, and the killer move Tile Splitting hidden in the dark, even without mega evolution, the power increase brought by the forced characteristics still made it difficult for Jigglypuff, who was not good at physical defense and could only move around by shrinking his body, to resist. However, after just three or two moves, he had several scars and was out of breath.

"bang"

With a dull thud, the indestructible jaws swung out heavily, knocking the Jigglypuff egg away, smashing it into a thick old tree, shaking off countless green leaves.

"Lucky..."

Although its physique far exceeds that of most Pokémon, after being hit hard several times, Chansey still felt very painful, and hurriedly used the [Egg Laying] skill to cover the wound with vitality for recovery.

Seeing that Kotaku was still trying to charge forward, Aqiao had already seen the limitations of her own tactics and took out the Poké Ball without hesitation.

"Come back, Jigglypuff! I'm counting on you, Infernape!"

The same high-speed rotation, when Kog'Maw swung his jaws and was ready to make the final move, a red light took back the Chansey, and replaced it with Infernape, which also quickly rushed into the battlefield with its high-speed throw.

"Baku!"

As Aqiao's true first Pokémon, as soon as it appeared on the stage, Infernape displayed strength and momentum far exceeding all previous opponents. With a roar, it rushed straight towards Fangmaw not far in front of it.

"Fire Beast, big word explosion!"

"Big Mouth Baby, rock blockade!"

In close combat, neither side had any room for retreat.

The scorching flame words passed through the dense rain of rocks, baking the hard rocks red.

"Rumble..."

Amidst a huge roar, two skills simultaneously hit both parties who were close to each other.

The scalding boulders smashed into the Fire Beast's fragile waist, abdomen and legs, leaving scars all over.

The blazing fire burned the Big Mouth Baby's petite body, which was not proud of its toughness, causing it unbearable pain.

In the evenly matched battle, both Pokémon were seriously injured in the first place.

Firion's sharp eyes like an eagle roamed over the battlefield, and in just a moment, he made a decision.

"Big Mouth Baby, rush over and bite it to pieces with all your might!"

Facing Infernape, which is also not known for its strength, although Rock Blockade cannot reduce the opponent's mobility due to the forced characteristics, the previous attack directly at the waist, abdomen and lower limbs has a similar effect, making it much more cumbersome.

Moreover, close combat will make Infernape's Flame Blast, which is its means of damage, more difficult to hit due to its lack of stability and Kog'Maw's agility.

In such a situation, the only thing we can do is to move forward bravely and deliver a winning blow to its wound.

"Qido!"

With eyes as fast as lightning, the big-mouthed boy who was in telepathic communication with Firio did not hesitate. He endured the waves of pain from his burning body and instead of retreating, he advanced towards the inferno beast that was in a poor condition.

The pitch-black jaws opened their bloody mouths that shone with cold light and headed straight for the waist and abdomen of the fire beast.

At the same time, Aqiao on the other side of the battlefield was not to be outdone. He waved his hand and shouted, "Fire Beast, Explosion Flame!"

Just as Big Mouth bit the wound on Fire Beast's waist, a blazing fire lit up with the flames burning behind Fire Beast as the center. In an instant, the entire venue was lit up, turning the surrounding forest of nearly a hundred meters into scorched earth.

This is a unique skill that it and Aqiao have never shown before.

"boom--"

A huge fireball rose from the ground and gradually disappeared in mid-air.

After a powerful exchange of moves, the Infernape fell unconscious to the ground, and next to it was the Big Mouth, who was also unconscious and had burn marks all over his body.

"Giant and Infernape have both lost their ability to fight! The score is now 1-1, both sides please replace their Pokémon at the same time!"

As the referee loudly announced the result of the match, after Korni lost two points to Brilanche, Firion's undefeated record was shattered at the opening stage of this semi-final.

In the stands, Pachila, who had been sitting with her legs crossed and watching the game absentmindedly, suddenly stood up, walked to the handrail, and nodded approvingly.

"This little fellow named Qiao is quite interesting. Infernape is also brave and daring, which is the right way to fight. Being hesitant is not the right way to fight."

"Filio was a little careless, but the skill of Exploding Flame is also very rare. Apart from the old lady on the Seven Islands, there are only a few people and Pokémon who can teach this skill. This child's level is also very good."

Dorasena walked to her side silently, opened her narrowed eyes slightly, and looked into the field with interest, especially observing Filio, who could feel the seriousness even from a distance.

"Come back and sit down." Karuno, who was sitting in the middle, waved gently with a smile in her eyes, "After all, he was the runner-up of the Higaki Tournament last year. Now it seems that he has not wasted this year. I guess Uncle Adek will be quite interested in him. Compared with trainers who specialize in attributes, I also prefer young people like these two with compound attributes."

"Tsk..." Pakila walked back to her seat reluctantly and glanced at Kalno with disappointment. She sat down with disgust and didn't want to respond to her.

......

......

The unexpected mutual destruction made Firio's face darken, and he paid three times more attention to Aqiao.

He silently took out the Poké Ball, took the bruised and battered Mouth back into the Poké Ball, put it against his forehead, and apologized, "I was a little impatient, it's not your fault, Mouth. You've worked hard, now let us take care of you."

As the Poké Ball swayed slightly, Firion narrowed his eyes and took out his third Poké Ball.

"It's up to you, Dragonite, mega evolution!"

The colorful glow of the bond lit up, the few remaining gravitational constraints completely disappeared, and the overlord of the sky flapped his wings and flew high.

On the opposite side, a powerful opponent also showed the same posture.

"Heracross, you come to fight, mega evolve!"

In the tit-for-tat confrontation, Aqiao showed no intention of retreating. He immediately sent out the mega player in his team and chose to confront Firion head-on again.

Sometimes cunning, sometimes fierce, in his unpredictable thinking, this expert from the Johto region reveals a maturity and calmness that is different from his expression, as well as high morale and pride.

Mega Heracross

In the stands, Rumlow and Freddy clenched their fists and cheered for the friends with whom they had developed deep feelings during the months of traveling.

In the contest of countering each other's moves, they saw a slim but real chance of winning.

What they didn't notice was Firion's spirit at this moment, as deep as the ocean.

Only Aqiao, who was in the middle of it, felt it most deeply. Only at this moment did he understand why the rich second-generation trainer named Lepu was so nervous the day before yesterday, and turned away without saying a word after the battle.

Compared with the power gap between these Pokémon on the field, they as trainers may have a bigger shortcoming.

But Aqiao, who had fought his way out of the siege of countless excellent trainers, was in no way comparable to Lepu and his ilk in any aspect. With a determined look in his eyes, he was stunned for just a moment, then broke free from Firio's breath, completely fearless.

Taking advantage of the moment when Qiao was briefly shocked by him, Firio took the initiative and said, "Violent Dragon, charge at the cost of your life!"

A bloody crescent moon descended from the sky, and the terrifying offensive reached a new level in just a few days. The original sluggishness and stiffness had been reduced by more than half, and it became more and more fluent, forcing Aqiao to be on high alert.

Looking at the approaching Mega Dragonite, he looked solemn, carefully calculating the space on the field and the distance from his opponent, and shouted: "Heracross, insect resistance!"

Hercules, with solid armor and a sharp spear, stood on the ground as solid as a rock, emitting golden light. He faced Mega Dragonite without dodging, perfectly parrying and blocking its rock-splitting attack, then turned from defense to offense, leaving a shallow wound on its abdomen, causing it a dull pain and great anger.

After a round of attack and defense, without any pause, amid Aqiao's excited shouts, Mega Heracross turned around and fired dense missile needles like rain in the direction of Mega Dragonite, heading straight for its abdomen.

This was also within Firio's prediction. With his order, the diving Mega Dragon immediately increased its altitude, dodged the missile needles that were close at hand, turned its head and spewed out a ball of fire, using the jet of flame to destroy the subsequent sharp metal needles that were coming.

The tempo of the battle suddenly quickened, and the scene became extremely lively, making the audience on the sidelines, whether experts or not, all exclaim in excitement.

With the help of the Missile Needle's cover and Mega Dragonite's twisting counterattack, Mega Heracross immediately flapped its wings and flew high, making a tricky arc from under the jet of flames and rushing straight in front of Mega Dragonite.

The sturdy forelimbs waved repeatedly, and countless huge rocks solidified in the air in an instant.

It was a perfectly executed rock crit.

With its old strength exhausted and new strength yet to come, Mega Dragon had no way to defend itself and could only allow the flying rocks to hit its head one after another, making it dizzy.

However, even so, much to Aqiao's surprise, such a heavy blow failed to knock down Mega Dragonite, and even failed to make it lose its composure and reveal its flaws. Firion, who was standing opposite, remained as steady as a rock, with confidence in his partner written all over his face.

With absolute trust in Mega Dragonite, Firion allowed Mega Heracross to go all out in launching a set of extraordinary combination attacks, while allowing Mega Dragonite to accumulate power at the last moment and accumulate kinetic energy for a counterattack.

When Mega Heracross's attack reaches its end, it is the moment when Mega Dragonite launches a counterattack.

"Vyvern, use the headbutt!"

Just when Mega Heracross had to slow down a little after his continuous attacks and took a breath to recover, Mega Dragon, who was injured on the face but showed no fear, suddenly used his headbutt and hit Mega Heracross in the face like thunder.

"Bam—"

With one blow, Mega Heracrosson, unable to defend himself, was severely injured and fell straight from a high altitude into a dense forest, breaking countless branches and leaves.

"The characteristic of continuous attack... I can show several flaws, but you can't show even a single one." Looking at the silent forest, Firion shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "Violent Dragon, Yuqi."

"Boman!"

A roar,

While Mega Heracross was shaking his head to regain his confused sense of direction and struggling to crawl out of the bushes, Mega Dragon had already landed steadily on the ground.

The wounds on its body and the marks on its face slowly faded, and its aura gradually recovered. The vigorous vitality from Xerneas not only made it have physical strength and physique far superior to other Pokémon of the same type, but also allowed it to recover much faster after being injured.

In the blink of an eye, the ferocious dragon head with a bruised nose and swollen face recovered a little.

Seeing the advance and retreat, in fact, one side was gaining while the other was losing, Ah Qiao with a sharp gaze was not moved at all, and with a wave of his hand, without any words, with extreme tacit understanding, countless sharp stones rushed out from the ground and pierced the extremely hard belly armor of Mega Dragonite.

Mega Heracross, whose face armor was smashed by a hammer, rushed out from the woods again and pounced on Mega Dragonite, which was temporarily unable to take off after releasing Yuju and landing.

Although it was strong and healthy, it was still seriously injured by the headbutt just now, and its breath was a little disordered. However, its momentum became stronger, like a Hercules fighting in a bloody battle, and it arrived in front of Mega Dragon in an instant.

"Vyvern, use the headbutt again!"

"Heracross, bug pounce!"
