Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

"It's clear that Nanfeng's strength should not be underestimated!"

377. Genius Trainer Nanfeng VS Veteran Elite Four Dragon One

The National Pokémon Arena was bustling with activity.

The trainers who came to watch the battle were not only Pokémon battle enthusiasts, but also elites and celebrities from all walks of life.

Among them were Li Yan and Peng Dou, both members of the Four Heavenly Kings. Also included was Senior Brother Dong Yan, who had been invited by Nanfeng, and Long Yi, who was about to fight Nanfeng.

All four Heavenly Kings of the Dragon Kingdom have arrived.

This is also one of the highlights of this match.

On the battlefield.

The showdown between the genius trainer Nanfeng and the veteran Elite Four member Ryuichi is about to begin.

Who will be the super genius who broke all the records in the Dragon Kingdom and receive the scepter symbolizing the Heavenly King from his predecessor?

The veteran superstar remained as ruthless as ever, mercilessly crushing all those who dared to challenge them into the abyss.

No one doesn't look forward to such a "battle"!

The same scenario seems to have played out once not long ago.

The protagonist last time was also Nanfeng, and he also won the final victory.

However, his previous opponent was a gym leader, while his current opponent is an Elite Four member.

If the gap between an ordinary trainer and a gym leader is a chasm, then the gap between a gym leader and an Elite Four member is an insurmountable chasm.

Each step is more difficult than the last!

Every trainer who manages to cross this chasm, this insurmountable barrier, is a genius among geniuses, a powerhouse among powerhouses.

If the south wind can really do that today.

They will also be witnesses.

Many people came because they were full of expectations for the "miracle" of the south wind.

9 points.

Having completed their preparations, Nanfeng and Longyi stood facing each other on the battlefield, sizing each other up.

"Long Yi, male, 43 years old, born in the capital..."

Looking at the man in front of her, Nanfeng recalled the information she had seen online.

At forty-three years old, he should be considered middle-aged, but the Long Yi that Nanfeng saw looked like a young man in his early thirties, as well-maintained as a movie star.

She is good-looking and has a tall and well-proportioned figure.

At first glance, he looks like a movie star.

No wonder he has so many supporters.

Nanfeng could see rows and rows of support banners in the audience not far behind Longyi.

They even have those old-fashioned cheering phrases like "Ryuichi Ryuichi, I love you, just like a mouse loves rice."

It's obvious that there are quite a few middle-aged women as fans.

The girl who used to support him must have grown up.

Long Yi looked Nan Feng up and down, and his feeling was simple, he only had one thing in mind.

"Wow, he's so damn young..."

At the age of twenty, Nanfeng was already standing on the National Pokémon Arena, challenging the Elite Four. And what was I doing at twenty?

Hmm, I remember when I was studying at Peking University, I even had a "competition" with an upperclassman because of a pretty female student.

Tsk tsk, compared to Nanfeng, it's not even in the same league.

As the saying goes, "The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves forward, while the front waves are left stranded on the beach."

"Even if I don't get swept away today, I probably won't be around for many more years," Long Yi sighed, reaching up to loosen his collar and unbuttoning his shirt, his eyes gleaming slightly. "But... today, I don't want to be that bygone wave!"

"Beep!!!" A piercing whistle rang out throughout the National Pokémon Arena, silencing the noise and drawing everyone's attention back to the battlefield.

The battle is about to begin.

A referee entered the arena in a circular flying vehicle, holding a microphone, and announced the rules of the battle.

"The Elite Four Challenge is now beginning! Our Gym Leader, Nanfeng, is challenging Elite Four Leader Ryuichi!"

"The competition rules are six to four. The battle ends when one trainer has four Pokémon that are unable to battle!"

"Now, both sides, please send out your starting Pokémon!"

Following the referee's instructions, Nanfeng and Longyi took out Poké Balls from their waists.

They exchanged a glance, then simultaneously threw their Poké Balls into the sky.

Two elves make their appearance.

In front of Ryuichi was a Pokémon with short wings, orange-yellow skin, and a chubby, round body. Its nickname was Fatty, and its scientific name was Dragonite!

Ryuichi's Dragonite was a size larger than the usual Dragonite, and a layer of transparent airflow flowed across its body, protecting it.

If nothing unexpected happens, this Dragonite should be a "Totem Pokémon"!

Before Nanfeng stood the Radiant Golden Boss Dora, which, under the sunlight, resembled a golden mountain!

Exclamations immediately erupted from the audience.

"Another shiny Pokémon? Can anyone, D, help me count how many shiny Pokémon Nan Shen has by now?"

"It seems like Nanfeng has already assembled a team of shiny Pokémon?"

"I would call the Southern God the Chosen One!"

...

Southwind doesn't use many Pokémon in public battles, and Gold Aggron hadn't had many opportunities to appear before.

Therefore, this appearance still caused great surprise.

But it was merely a surprise. The visual impact of a Shiny Aggron was no match for that of a Mega Shiny Gardevoir.

Neither Ryuichi nor Nanfeng, the opponents, were surprised by their opponents' identities as "Overlord" and "Flash".

What they care about is attribute counterplay.

Take the initiative from the start.

As expected, Nanfeng gained a huge advantage.

Aggron is a Rock/Steel type, possessing extremely specialized yet exceptionally strong resistances.

Aggron is four times weak to Fighting and Ground types, and twice weak to Water types. However, it is four times weak to Dragonite's Flying type and twice weak to Dragon types!

On the contrary, Dragonite is weak to Rock type because of its Flying type.

The advantages and disadvantages brought by the attributes of the first Pokémon will greatly affect the tactical arrangements of both trainers.

Both trainers exchanged glances, having already made their respective preparations.

Once the referee confirmed that both sides were in position, he immediately raised the red and green flags in his hand and swung them downwards.

"The battle begins!"

"Come back, Dragonite!"

"Bosscodora, block the way!" Nanfeng and Longyi gave the order at the same time.

Ryuichi picked up the Poké Ball he had just used to send out Dragonite, intending to recall it, but suddenly a golden mountain appeared in front of him, blocking the red beam of light emitted from the Poké Ball.

Failed to retrieve the Poké Ball...

Long Yi's heart skipped a beat.

Was I... predicted?

(The past two days have been filled with drinking parties, and I'm completely drunk...)

378. The debut of the Golden Boss Dora!

Block the way: Inflicts the "Unable to escape" status on the target. Pokémon in the "Unable to escape" status cannot be switched out. The "Unable to escape" status disappears when the target is switched out by the Pokémon that blocked the way.

Blocking the way will always hit, unless the target is using a charged attack and is not on the field.

This is the description of the "blocking the way" move in the handheld game console.

Simply put, this is a move to prevent the opponent from recalling their Pokémon.

Similar moves include "Black Gaze", "Spider Web", and "Catch Me", and the ability with the same effect is "-Shadow Stomp".

Nanfeng's initial "block the way" command was a prediction of Longyi's "recall the spirit" command.

He was lucky; he caught Long Yi red-handed.

Or... it can't be called luck either.

Before the match, Nanfeng analyzed Long Yi's "personality." He found that although Long Yi's behavior and language were exceptionally arrogant and conceited, his actual tactical choices and fighting style were steady and methodical.

The Dragonite that was sent out in the first round of his lineup was of average strength, neither too strong nor too weak, and could be used for probing or attacking.

Even when facing a Pokémon with a type advantage, Ryuichi won't choose to fight head-on; instead, he'll switch Pokémon. In the battle videos Nanfeng has watched, Ryuichi made this choice eight out of ten times.

His arrogant personality is more like a... disguise!

In just a second, the battle-hardened Long Yi regained his composure, his weathered eyes narrowing deeply.

He suspected that not only was his first command predicted by Nanfeng, but even his starting Pokémon had been "guessed" by Nanfeng.

but....

"What kind of mentality do young people have these days? Are they just fearless like newborn calves? How could they make such a prediction when challenging a superstar?"

"If I hadn't anticipated that, Aggron would have been at a disadvantage," Long Yi muttered to himself. If he hadn't recalled his Pokémon at the start and had instead chosen to attack directly, then Aggron would have been no different from coming to its death.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs". (It sounds nice)

"Dragonite, Hurricane!" Ryuichi commanded softly.

Dragonite immediately flapped its small, fleshy wings, creating a gust of wind. The wind surged forward but turned back halfway, then forward again and back again. In the blink of an eye, a tornado tens of meters high rose from the ground!

A storm descends! Enveloping the Dragonite within it.

But what caught Nanfeng's attention even more was the fleeting silver light that flashed across Dragonite's body before the storm enveloped it.

That's... the Dance of the Dragon!

If Nanfeng hasn't misread or misremembered.

"Combining the Storm Move with Dragon Dance? That should be called... Storm Dragon Dance, right?" Nanfeng's eyes lit up slightly.

I've learned another trick. I can have my salamander practice it when I get back.

He snapped his fingers and gave the order.

"Aggron, use Rock Slide!"

"Cola!!!"

Bosscodora opened its arms and roared loudly.

A loud roar echoed across the battlefield, tearing open the sky and revealing a pitch-black rift that resembled a curtain of heaven! It then rapidly expanded into a circular passage.

Another world connected!

In an instant, sharp rock spikes flew down.

No, it was golden spikes falling!

The rock spikes that fell from the dark, otherworldly passage were coated with a layer of dazzling gold!

This is not due to the influence of any special Pokémon item, but rather because Aggron's "Rock" type has begun to evolve into "Golden Stone"!

Like Zeraora's Thunder, Goldstone has additional effects that ordinary Rock types do not possess.

It makes Rock-type moves more destructive, and the rocks it creates are harder and heavier.
