This elf world is a bit strange

He had sharp ears and heard what Violet said, so he subconsciously added another blow. "But you can't beat Korni now."

"Stop talking too much! Wait and see how I beat you up... Anyway, let's start the game!"

Violet's cheeks turned red at her boyfriend's direct sarcasm. She glared at him fiercely, turned her head away proudly, and walked towards the command seat.

However, just after taking two steps, Yikong's shout came from the air:

"Mr. Violet! You haven't even saluted yet!"

The atmosphere fell into a subtle awkwardness. Violet, with her back to Firion, stood there in a daze, not turning back for a long time.

It’s really... a bit shameful.

Chapter 257: Traditional Battles Pay Attention to the Points

As an annual highlight exhibition match between the League Conference champion and the official gym leader, although it has not been promoted for a long time, trainers from all over the world still gather here on special trains. Apart from the Duke War participated by the League's Four Heavenly Kings and champions, there are only a few times of the year that are more lively than this time.

Although there were some minor disturbances, amid the friendly laughter of the spectators on the terrace, Violet, with a blushing face, saluted and fled back to her command seat.

Then, Molly walked to the referee's seat and introduced the two competing parties in a loud voice.

"Dear Knights who have come from afar, welcome to the Battle Fortress to enjoy the annual exhibition match jointly planned by the Kalos Alliance and the Fortress. The champion of this year's Miare Conference, Firion, will fight against the gym leader of White Sand City, the female marquis Violet!"

After each name was announced, Molly would pause for a moment, leaving time for the audience to applaud. Similar to the etiquette between trainers, the people watching the battle here also had to follow specific rules. Every move had to comply with the requirements of the knight duel that had been passed down from the Kalos Kingdom period to the present day.

Compared to Firion, who was visiting the Battle Fortress for the first time, Violet, as a regular visitor, was undoubtedly more popular. As Molly announced her identity, the warm applause and cheers almost overwhelmed the well-tested terrace, until Yikong stood on the high platform and pressed his hands in the air, and then the applause and cheers subsided a little.

The gentlemanly old butler silently stepped back half a step, made a gesture of invitation, and asked Molly to come forward again.

"This battle will be one-on-one, and you are not allowed to change your Pokémon. The duration of the exhibition match is three minutes, and there is no limit to the number of skills you can use. The battle will end when either party loses the ability to fight or the battle time runs out! Do the two contestants have any objections?"

"No objection." Firio nodded slightly, and his right hand under the cloak was placed on his waist.

Violet sullenly said, "Neither do I."

"Then I declare that the annual exhibition match begins now! Both parties please send out your Pokémon!"

Molly waved the flag high up and spoke in a decisive voice. Before she finished speaking, two Poké Balls flew into the air, spinning.

"Leave it to you, Sol Eevee!"

"Colorful Butterfly, it's decided to be you!"

Time has passed, and several months have passed, and the same old rivals meet again on a different battlefield.

However, although they seem the same, they are actually different.

This time, standing opposite Sol Eevee is one of Violet's two true ace Pokémon.

But Sun Ibrahimovic is no longer at the same level as before.

It had just broken through to the Heavenly King level, and the fluctuations in its aura were still somewhat unstable, and it urgently needed a battle to adapt.

"Another one? So fast?!"

Seeing the slender yet agile figure of the Sun Eevee, Violet was shocked, her mouth slightly opened, and she couldn't even control her volume.

Most of the audience on the terrace also had a similar expression to Violet. Although those who had watched the Miare Tournament had some understanding of the combat power of Solebee, few expected that in such a short period of time, it would be able to cross the barrier that was considered an insurmountable chasm for most Pokémon and enter the King level.

Amid the exclamations, Firion remained calm, and just bowed calmly along with the Sun Eevee.

“Hopefully it’ll be a good match.”

"Ah...oh! Hope it's a good match!"

After Molly's eye signal, Violet finally reacted and hurriedly lowered her head to hide the surprise in her eyes.

"Both sides have completed the salute, and are ready for battle!" Molly raised the flag that was placed flat on her chest again. Her face was solemn, and she looked fixedly at the lake ahead. She waved it heavily, "Now, the countdown begins!"

"Boom-"

A dull bell rang, and on the big screen, the three-minute battle timer began to change.

"Sol Eevee, use Light Wall!"

The moment the battle began, all the emotions in Firion's eyes disappeared, like a deep pool with no bottom to be seen.

Knowing that Butterfree was not good at close combat and physical attacks, he gave decisive orders, directing Soleva to use the light wall that he had become more and more proficient in through long-term practice. The light clay on his chest flickered brightly, and in an instant, an invisible light curtain stood up between the two Pokémon, reflecting hazy light under the sunlight, which was magnificent.

At the same time, Violet, who had come out of her surprise, was not to be outdone. She waved her hand vigorously, and the colorful butterflies began to dance gorgeously in response. The graceful dance moves carried a beautiful and mysterious rhythm, and countless star-like glimmers were integrated into the body. The momentum immediately rose steadily.

The mysterious and beautiful dance is actually an advanced technique using the attributes of insect-type Pokémon, Butterfly Dance.

Compared to the green and inexperienced Colorful Butterfly in the gym, the opponent in front of him was much more experienced and much stronger.

In a flash, both sides used their own unique skills at the same time. Although they did not fight, they demonstrated the beauty of the magnificence and speed of battle itself in different ways, drawing cheers and applause.

One attack, one defense, after mutual probing, a fierce battle is about to break out.

"Colorful powder butterfly, use the pollen ball to suppress it!"

Amidst Violet's powerful shouts, the Colorful Butterfly took the lead.

A pale pink halo spread from its body, and countless pollen condensed into small balls in mid-air, dancing everywhere. It was extremely beautiful but concealed a chilling murderous intent. Most of them blasted towards various parts of the venue, while a few surrounded the colorful butterfly, performing both offense and defense.

Faced with the powerful attack, Firio remained calm. His sharp eyes scanned the battlefield and instantly discovered the flaw in the attack of the Colorful Butterfly - speed.

With a quick glance, he came up with a plan and waved his hand, shouting, "Sun Eevee, Lightning Flash!"

"Buy!"

Sun Ibrahimovic immediately understood, and his limbs exerted force like galloping lightning, drawing a winding line on the field and shuttling between the pink balls. Even the range attack carefully planned by relying on the characteristics of the compound eyes was helpless in the face of the powerful predictive and perception abilities.

In the blink of an eye, the slowly falling pink ball not only failed to hurt the Sun Eevee, but it was instead able to get there first, overcoming the obstruction in two or three steps and arriving at an awkward position that was neither far nor close to the Colorful Butterfly. The pink balls surrounding it were unable to advance or retreat.

Just when Colorful Butterfly and Violet were struggling for a moment, Firio's second ring tactic had already taken advantage of the gap before they could react.

"Sol Eevee, seal!"

"Colorful butterfly, light...!"

Without the slightest hesitation, a beam of white light fell, crossing all barriers and penetrating into the body of the colorful butterfly, making it feel as if it had been deprived of countless powers. The light curtain that was about to condense was also aborted.

The accurate prediction brought about a tide of cheers, and Yikong on the sidelines also stood up again and clapped softly.

A clever calculation directly locked down most of the tactical changes of Caifendie and Violet.

"No wonder Kearney said you're full of bad intentions, you're so cunning!" Violet curled her lips when her tactics were completely seen through, but she was not discouraged, "Colorful Butterfly, rush over and use the Insect Swipe to fight it in close combat!"

Dozens of pink balls of different sizes were thrown out quickly and exploded around the Solebee, forcing it to retreat and dodge. Taking this opportunity, the Colorful Powder Butterfly, which was not good at frontal attacks, did the opposite and rushed forward at high speed with the help of the enhanced Butterfly Dance. Its beautiful pink wings flapped vigorously, and it also had a great momentum and went straight to the slender waist of the Solebee.

But they didn't notice the smile in Firio's eyes.

The reason for keeping such a distance is to wait for Violet's patience to run out.

Seeing the fish taking the bait, Firion no longer hesitated and immediately gave another order: "Just in time! Sun Eevee, power exchange and push down!"

"Buy!"

The charging Colorful Butterfly was already within reach, but the Sun Eevee, who should have dodged, was not moved at all. A light blue glow seeped out of its eyes and fell on the Colorful Butterfly that was unable to avoid it.

The power bestowed by Butterfly Dance quickly dissipated, but instead turned into a constant source of power, pouring into the body of the Sun Eevee.

As one was gaining strength, the Butterfree, which was not known for its strength, bumped into the Sun Eevee, but only caused it to stagger slightly, not even to the point of falling, and it adjusted itself in a blink of an eye.

"Colorful Butterfly! Take off!"

Violet, with alarm bells ringing in her heart and realizing something was wrong, said hurriedly.

But it's too late.

Before the Colorful Butterfly could overcome the inertia of the downward rush and flap its wings again to take off, the regrouped Sun Ibrahimovic had already attacked.

"All-out mental attack!"

"Buyi!——"

From swift dodging to fierce frontal attacks, the change of style only takes a moment for Firion and Sun Ibrahimovic.

Without giving the colorful butterfly any chance, the elegant purple phantom rushed out like an arrow and crashed into the colorful butterfly's soft belly.

"Bam—"

The dull collision sound accompanied by the dazzling blue glow spread throughout the castle. The colorful butterfly was like a small doll blocking the way of a speeding train. It was instantly knocked away and hovered in the air, its state more than half degraded in an instant.

"……Eh?"

Violet looked at Firion in surprise. Instead of being frustrated by the great loss, she seemed very stunned.

She didn't understand why the Sun Eevee's Psychic Attack knocked Butterfree into the air instead of taking advantage of the momentum to launch a second round of attack, which was tantamount to sparing her a chance.

In surprise, she saw Firio's eyes blinking continuously, as if they could speak.

She was smart and understood it immediately. She breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked herself for not losing face.

"Sol Eevee, you're too slow. Keep some distance and use high-speed stars to cover!"

Seeing that Violet understood what he meant, Firion immediately adjusted his tactics. With a command, the Sol Eevee, whose speed was slightly reduced, pretended to retreat clumsily, and star-shaped energy beams shot far into the air.

After all, it was an exhibition match, and half of the time had passed in the tense offense and defense. He had no intention of going all out to decide the winner with Violet. He just wanted to try out his skills and show a little bit of the edge of the Sun Ibrahimovic. After taking the initiative on the court, he stopped.

Violet, whose face was saved, returned the favor by waving her hand and shouting, "Colorful Butterfly, Insect Resistance!"

The light golden light turned into a light curtain that blocked the trajectory of the high-speed star. While blocking its metal, it counterattacked along the attack route and landed on the "caught off guard" Sol Eevee.

The energy that was impossible to defend against penetrated the barrier of light wall like the gnawing of an insect's teeth. Although its power was still very weak and only caused its flawless hair to wrinkle slightly, the energy interference that followed weakened its momentum by three points.

"What a precise insect resistance, Sol Eevee, use your mental strength and keep your distance!"

"Colorful Butterfly, use Storm! You can't just stand up, retreat!"

Amidst the mutual commercial promotion, a head-on collision with great momentum but little results exploded in the air.

Tides of energy surged everywhere, and the surging air waves lifted the corners of the clothes of the spectators, making them, who rarely had the opportunity to see strong men fighting, scream in excitement. They were completely unaware that the real tit-for-tat battle between the two had already come to an end ahead of time.

The battle in the second half was lively but dull. Sun Ibrahimovic advanced and retreated steadily on the ground, while Butterfly flew up and down in the air. The powerful long-range attacks were exchanged back and forth, but they were evenly matched.

In one evenly matched collision and explosion after another, both sides fought brilliantly and fiercely, steadily using up the battle time to the end.

......

......

"Boom-"

The bell announcing the end of the battle rang, and Solevil and Butterfree, who were only slightly out of breath, withdrew their hands at the same time and landed steadily next to their respective trainers, looking like they were evenly matched.

However, if you look closely, you can find that although the breathing of the Sun Eevee seems disordered, it is actually very steady, while the Butterfly is slightly tired. The previous mental shock has caused it to suffer heavy damage, and it is now trying to support itself.

"Well done, little Eevee."

"Buyi~"

After touching the head of the slightly sweaty Sun Eevee who came to him to act coquettishly, Firion picked up the Eevee who just wanted to be intimate with him and walked towards Violet whose smile became more complicated.

The photography girl must be feeling mixed emotions at this moment.

"The battle of the Butterfly is really amazing in both its power and its viewing pleasure. I will definitely bring my little Eevee and Kotaku to ask you for advice when I have time. They also like the beautiful fighting style."

"No, I think your changeable and decisive tactical thinking is hard to guard against. I must have a good discussion with you if there is a chance."

Amidst the skillful flattery of each other, the two men held each other's hands tightly and bowed to each other.

After the ceremony, Yikong, who saw through the situation but did not say anything, walked closer, holding a megaphone, looked around, and announced loudly:

"The exhibition match between Master Firio and the Violet Marquis ended in a draw. The winner of this match does not count! According to the requirements of the Kalos Pokémon League, the Battle Fortress ruled that the Miare Tournament champion Master Firio will be awarded the title of Battle Marquis. From today on, Master Firio is the 31st active Battle Marquis!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jasmine, the referee in a maid outfit, picked up a tray with the badge of nobility on it and walked forward.

With a sweet smile, the dignified and elegant little maid personally put it on Firio's chest.

There was thunderous applause on the castle terrace.

Compared to the champions of the past few tournaments who were completely unable to fight the current gym leaders at full strength, Firion's powerful strength and calm demeanor of being able to move forward and backward with ease seemed even more unfathomable, which amazed these trainers who paid attention to combat style and etiquette.
