Are ordinary elves weak? My elves are extremely intelligent

Admittedly, Tian Xiao’s elf lineup lacks depth, a problem that was exposed in the previous game. Su Chen had already anticipated this.

However, I haven't heard the word "senior" very often since I started participating in the competition, so I asked curiously, "Seniors in their senior year? It seems like I haven't met many seniors in their senior year since I started participating in the competition?"

When Li Qile mentioned his seniors, he expressed indignation: "Although there is no entry threshold for the open selection competition, everyone has a consensus that it is best for seniors not to participate."

Su Chen asked curiously, "Ah, why?"

"The seniors in the fourth year have cultivated elves for four years longer than us. Judging by their strength, they are the strongest."

"Not to mention strength, they have much more competition experience than us!!"

"Seniors in their senior year should be busy with post-graduation matters, taking civil service exams, going to secret realms for special training, or interning at work. Anyway, they should be doing whatever they need to do. It's really lowbrow for them to always compete with us juniors for resources and scholarships!"

"So that's it..."

Su Chen nodded slightly. No wonder he had hardly heard of senior students since he started participating in the competition. It turned out that senior students would be looked down upon if they participated in the competition. There was also such an unspoken rule.

"Su Chen, don't be affected by the outside world. Don't be nervous!!"

“Relax!!”

"I'm not nervous!"

……

The next day, the "Athletes' March" once again resounded over the Shenzhen University campus, and a large number of students flocked into the Shenzhen University Elf Battle Hall.

As the game progresses, the level of competition is also rising.

The battle for the top four is also significantly different from the past. There are two commentary desks on the edge of the battle stage, which are specially prepared for senior students who are professional in elf battle commentary and hosting.

The battle was narrated by a commentator, and there was also a senior student dressed in fancy clothes to host the battle stage.

"Welcome everyone to the Shenzhen University's annual open selection competition for the top four. I am honored to serve as the host for today's competition."

"I believe everyone is looking forward to the upcoming matches, so without further ado, let's welcome the first match with applause."

"First up is Qin Donghui, a junior from the Breeder program. I'm sure his main Pokémon, Charizard, has left a deep impression on everyone. He's a highly anticipated player in this selection, and he's also the most promising seeded player in the Breeder program."

"Qin Donghui's advancement to the semifinals is a shared aspiration among all the students in the Cultivation Program!"

"The player competing against Qin Donghui at the same time is a sophomore trainer..."

While the contestants were preparing on stage, the host introduced the backgrounds of both teams and built up momentum for them. With the host's support, both teams were warmly welcomed by the audience when they came on stage.

Among them, Qin Donghui, who was from the breeder major, received a lot of cheers when he came on the court because he was good-looking and was also a seeded player in the breeder major. Of course, most of the cheers came from female students.

Faced with the cheers, the coquettish Qin Donghui also happily interacted with the audience.

Soon, the battle between the two sides began.

As the game progresses, the level of combat has improved a lot. The Pokémons of both players on the battlefield have reached the gym level, and the intensity of the battle has also increased significantly.

After observing several games, Su Chen found that most of those who were able to advance had two gym-level Pokémon, and having only one gym-level Pokémon was no longer enough to cope with the current situation.

The previous situation of hiding one's shortcomings will no longer happen.

"It seems like Pikachu alone won't be able to advance in this match. I'll have to send Eevee as well. As for Beedrill... if possible, I'd better keep it hidden and use it in the semifinals or finals..."

Just as Su Chen was preparing for the next battle, the battle on the field ended and it was Tian Xiao's turn to play.

Perhaps he had already known that his opponent was very strong and it was almost impossible for him to advance, so Tian Xiao waved his hand without any burden: "Okay, I'm going to play~"

"come on!"

"come on!"

Amidst the cheers, Tian Xiao walked onto the battlefield and took his position.

"The game officially begins!!" With the referee's order, a fierce battle broke out on the scene.

On the battlefield, Tian Xiao used her only main Pokémon Ninetales as her starting point as usual, while her opponent Huang Hongliang used the Pokémon Dragon Head Diglett, which had reached the peak of the gym.

Under Huang Hongliang's command, the Dragon Head Hamsters' attack was extremely ferocious, using a completely relentless, even life-or-death fighting style. They completely abandoned tug-of-war and tactics, using relentless, unskilled tactics to counterattack without any skill.

Faced with this tough attack method, the top-level Dragon Head Diglett in the gym completely suppressed the beginner Nine-Tailed Fox in the gym.

"At this rate, it's only a matter of time before Jiuwei is defeated. But this is understandable. After all, Tian Xiao is only a freshman. Being able to compete on the stage for the top four is already amazing!"

A senior who specializes in commentary was watching the game and making predictions: "You're right. Tian Xiao lost because of the depth of his roster. That's understandable. After all, it's only his freshman year, so it's normal for the Elf roster to be a bit shallow!"

"And honestly, isn't Tian Xiao's performance already amazing?!"

"As everyone's discussing on the campus internet, reaching the quarterfinals of the qualifiers as a freshman has already tied Shenzhen University's long-standing record."

"Do you remember the Rookie of the Year who reached the quarterfinals of the qualifiers during his freshman year?"

"This senior's future achievements can be said to be quite high!!"

"That senior successfully entered the Trainer's Association in the first semester of his junior year. He landed a spot early!!"

"Furthermore, through continuous hard work, in my sixth year in the Trainers' Association, I was successfully promoted to become a member of the First Special Operations Team of the Guangdong Provincial Trainers' Association."

"Now he has become the backbone of our Guangdong Province Trainer Association!!"

"Anyone who is preparing for or currently taking the civil service exam should take this senior as a role model!!"

As time went on, Tian Xiao's Nine-Tailed Fox was defeated by the opponent's Dragon-Headed Hamster and lost its ability to move under the opponent's tough attack.

After losing Nine-Tailed Fox, Tian Xiao had no other Pokémon to use. In the end, as everyone predicted, he could only stop in the quarterfinals of the Shencheng University open selection tournament.

"I lost…"

After losing the game, Tian Xiao was no longer the Amazon warrior with her head held high. Instead, she looked a little lost and fragile.

Even though you are mentally prepared, it is still easy to have negative emotions when failure comes.

"Your performance just now was already very good!!"

Su Chen consoled him, "Especially when he directed Nine-Tailed Fox to use the Flame Vortex to control the opponent, that move was truly spectacular!!"

"I think many people didn't expect that your Nine-Tailed Fox is a bit behind the other party in terms of level. Even though the attributes of the other party are restrained, it still caused serious interference to the other party."

"Your Ninetales finally ran out of energy to fight, but the opponent's Dragon Head Diglett didn't have much energy left either."

“Being able to conduct like this in such a situation is already amazing!!”

Tian Xiao did seem disappointed because of losing the game, but at the same time she became happy because of Su Chen's affirmation. In her opinion, perhaps between winning the game and getting Su Chen's affirmation, the latter was more important.

"Really?"

3.0 Tian Xiao’s big eyes were filled with hope, and beautiful dimples appeared on both sides of her mouth, as if she was about to praise me.

Su Chen was infected by Tian Xiao's cute smile and reached out to scratch her cute, small nose: "Really, you and your Nine-Tailed Fox performed very well!!"

"Hmm~"

Su Chen's sudden intimate action made the four-season deer in Tian Xiao's heart run wildly, and the intense heartbeat seemed to be felt even through the clothes.

As time went by, it was finally the turn of Su Chen, the last one standing, to fight.

"Okay, it's my turn!"

"Come on!!"

"Su Chen, come on!!"

"come on!!"

With the cheers of Tian Xiao and his two roommates, Su Chen walked towards the battlefield.

"The next contestant we're going to face is arguably the most impressive player in the entire selection process. He possesses a Pikachu of a different color!!"

"He is none other than Su Chen, a freshman from the first-year trainer major!!"

"Su Chen is the last remaining freshman. Let's wait and see if he can live up to the expectations of his fellow freshmen and succeed!"

"Please welcome the next two contestants with applause!"

Amid the applause of the audience, Su Chen and his opponent walked out of the contestant tunnel together, waving slightly to greet the audience who supported them.

As the host said, Su Chen is now the only remaining freshman.

But with Tian Xiao's defeat just now, everyone's expectations of Su Chen have dropped a lot.

After all, even the daughter of the king of pop was eliminated in the quarterfinals. How powerful can Su Chen be?

……

106 Pikachu, who possesses the character of a protagonist, will immediately rebound when suppressed! ! (Subscribe)

On the battle stage, the referee confirmed that the two players were ready, and then called out, "Please show me your starting Sprites, both teams!"

"Ready!!" Su Chen's opponent Xie Libin quickly raised his Pokéball to signal, obviously he was very confident in his Pokémon.

After a brief thought, Su Chen also raised the Poké Ball to signal: "Okay!!"

"The battle between the two sides begins!!"

As the referee waved the flag and announced, Su Chen quickly threw the Pokéball towards the center of the battlefield. After a flash of red light, Pikachu on all fours appeared in front of everyone.

On the other side, Xie Libin also released the elf.

A large Pokémon appeared, nearly three meters tall, purple in color, and covered with poisonous spines. This was the combination of the Ground and Poison types, Nidoking.

……

As the opposing teams were established, the entire Pokémon Battle Arena began to resound with the commentators' predictions for the match.

"The Pokémons chosen by both teams are very suitable for each other's characteristics. Xie Libin chose Nidoking as his starting player as usual, and Su Chen also chose Pikachu as his starting player."

"This situation is a bad start for contestant Su Chen!"

"That's right. Nidoking restrains Pikachu in terms of attributes. Furthermore, a mid-level Nidoking is slightly stronger than a beginner Pikachu. Furthermore, as the final evolved form, Nidoking's combat power and physical fitness are clearly stronger than Pikachu's."

　02 "If we analyze the strength on paper, it's clear that Nidoking has a higher chance of winning."

"I remember that in the last match, when Su Chen's Pikachu was fighting against the Bully Turban, he had a burst of energy and defeated the Bully Turban with his powerful electric energy. I wonder if he can perform brilliantly this time?"

"I think it's going to be difficult. After all, this time Nidoking is Poison + Ground. Even if Pikachu unleashes a powerful burst of electricity, it won't have much effect."

"That's true, but as long as the fight doesn't start, everything is unknown."

“Let’s look forward to the wonderful performances of the two players!”

Su Chen's eyes narrowed slightly on the battlefield. Among ordinary trainers, Nidoking is very popular.

There are three reasons. First, Nidoking's race stat reaches 505. Although it is not as good as the Big Three Pokémon, it is already a relatively powerful Pokémon that an ordinary trainer can capture.

The second reason is that Nidoking has a very rich skill pool and strong plasticity. Nidoking itself masters two types of skills: poison and ground.

In addition, you can also master a variety of skills from other departments, such as the farmer's three punches of the ice, fire and electricity departments, the rock burst of the rock department, the shadow claws of the ghost department, the slender horns of the steel department, the dragon wave of the dragon department, and the fighting department's pounce.

Mastering such a rich variety of attack methods allows Nidoking to have the means to restrain his opponents when facing various opponents.

Thirdly, the cultivation process of Nidoking is relatively simple. Nidoran only needs to be upgraded to level 16 to evolve into Nidorino. After completing the second stage of evolution, you only need to use a Moon Stone to evolve from Nidorino into Nidoking.

Nidoking has good racial stats, a rich skill pool, and can quickly form combat capabilities. These characteristics make it popular among ordinary trainers.
