Please challenge the opponent to enter the replacement Pokémon within five seconds. Seeing that Guan Liyuan has not released the next replacement Pokémon, the referee urged.

At this time, Guan Liyuan raised his hand and said, Wait a minute, I want to apply for a 'real showdown'.

When the referee heard this, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but then he still looked at Teng Xiao...

Teng Xiao shook his head as a matter of course and made an X gesture at the same time: No, that is not beautiful, I refuse.

After the referee confirmed Tengji's gesture, he announced: The gym side Tengji refuses to engage in a 'real duel', please challenge the party within five seconds...

If you refuse, I will enter the battle unilaterally and fight the Pokémon together!

Teng Xiao's refusal was not beyond Guan Liyuan's expectations. It would be strange to agree to this kind of application. He was originally prepared to enter the market unilaterally after the other party refused.

That's right, the so-called real showdown is exactly the showdown in which the trainer himself also participates!

Even in the Pokémon world, the improvement of order is a process, and there are also barbaric times.

The so-called real duel is a remnant of the barbaric era. For example, on the Santo Anno, during the Rockets' civil war, it can be regarded as an irregular real duel...

In modern times, when order is gradually improving, Pokémon duels have replaced the more barbaric Pokémon wars. The Pokémon duels that originally appeared to resolve disputes were all real duels in form. Compared with today's simple Pokémon battles, The duel between Kemeng and the real duel also needs to consider the protection of the trainer himself, and there is a big difference in tactics.

With the further development of the times, human beings have moved away from the duel field. Directly attacking the trainers outside the field during the duel is undoubtedly a foul.

Unless there is a dispute that is difficult to resolve, there will be no real showdown!

However, according to the rules, even in the league competition, as long as both parties agree, they can meet to end the game and start the real duel rules.

When the modern rules were first formed, there were still many trainers of the older generation who liked to take the initiative to fight against each other. They believed that fighting Pokémon together was the romance of trainers. At that time, many tactics were specifically designed to attack the opponent's trainer... …

But nowadays, when modern rules have been implemented for a long time, this situation is almost impossible to see.

During the transitional period, if the older generation wants to leave, the trainers of the new generation will not accompany them. In addition to giving Pokémon an additional target to protect, the trainer's exit has little or no help to the battle situation other than feelings. On the other hand, the result is just adding chaos!

Therefore, the actual duel situation was gradually completely replaced by modern duel rules.

That's why the referee was stunned for a moment when he heard Guan Liyuan's application and later watched Guan Liyuan jump off the court from the trainer's position - most referees will never encounter this situation in their lives.

However, after being stunned for a moment, the referee still announced unskilledly: Well... the challenger is unilaterally conducting a 'real duel', the winning and losing conditions are changed, and the victory or defeat determination is added... Well... the trainer himself loses combat effectiveness, then The opponent wins directly, and the trainer cannot pursue him after he withdraws from the field. Well... withdrawing from the field unless it is time to change Pokémon is regarded as admitting defeat to the current Pokémon.

At this time, the referee who was a part-time trainer at the Aromatherapy Gym also looked at Guan Liyuan with some resentment and said to himself: [Is this another time that after the guest commentators, he will extend his black hand to the referee world? Fortunately, I just got my referee certificate and I haven’t forgotten these unpopular test knowledge points! 】

Brother Liyuan will still surprise people... and end up in person? Is there any special strategy behind this? Teng Xiao said with great interest.

You can come down and try it yourself. Guan Liyuan replied.

Keke, if you call me good brother, maybe I will consider it!

Guan Liyuan ignored him this time...

On the other hand, the audience also started talking about Guan Liyuan's performance of jumping off the stage - audiences in this era rarely see real duels.

Only some gray-haired old men still have some vague memories and express nostalgia for this rule. They have barely caught up with the end of the transition period. They may have often seen this kind of duel when they were children... but it ended unilaterally. , I’m afraid they don’t have much of an impression either!

The young commentator was also in a hurry at this time, using his laptop computer to search for relevant information and popularizing science for everyone - obviously he took the certification test earlier and no longer remembers these unpopular knowledge points.

...Seventy-three years ago, the prototype of the modern Pokémon duel rules came into being. Trainers could choose not to attend in person. Sixty-four years ago, at the Unova Tournament held by the Unova League, for the first time in the region In the level competition, there was no real duel throughout the whole process, which symbolizes that modern dueling rules have officially become the mainstream of Pokémon dueling.

Starting forty-seven years ago, major regions have had no real duel in the regional competition for ten consecutive years. The last time there was a real duel in the regional competition was the Kanto Quartz Competition nineteen years ago. Two people were competing. Trainers competing for official gym qualifications meet to start a real showdown in the league competition out of old grudges.

In short, the 'real duel' is now a form of duel that almost only appears in disputes. It is said that the Carlos Alliance had a proposal last year to officially cancel this rule in the alliance competition. The owner of the Ma Embroidery Hall What do you think? The commentator's simple science popularization also didn't forget to ask Ma Xiu.

As the leader of an official gym, Ma Xiu shouldn't have nothing to say in this regard...

Yes, there was indeed such a proposal last year. In fact, after I became the official gym leader, this was the third time I saw a similar proposal, but every time it was not rejected by a large proportion, including me, Most gym leaders are in favor of the continuation of this rule, even if there is no chance to open it... because this is proof that trainers and Pokémon fight together, Ma Xiu said.

I see, the owner of the Ma Embroidery Hall became the owner fourteen years ago, right? In the last fourteen years, it has been proposed three times... the commentator said.

Ma Xiu: ...

Not to mention the commentator's last series of revealing his age, it is true that not only the Kalos League, but also major leagues often ask for participation in the Pokémon Contest. Abolition of the real duel rule - most of the people who propose this kind of proposal are not professional trainers!

After that, I was often opposed by trainers who occupied many seats in major leagues...

Because the basis for the existence of real duel is the absolutely correct core of trainer's thinking of trainers and Pokémon fighting side by side. This is what all trainers must memorize in the beginner stage!

It's just that fighting side by side doesn't just mean playing together, it also means training together, traveling together, and working together. The modern duel rules are just a patch based on this - the situation where the trainers of both parties agree. Next, you don’t have to attend the event in person. The purpose is to “enable Pokémon to have a better performance as a result of joint efforts.”

Even though real duels rarely occur now, directly abolishing real duels would obviously violate the principle of fighting side by side, so most trainers will object, even if they may never have a real duel in their lives...

Moreover, this kind of rule is inherently voluntary and requires the consent of both parties before it ends at the same time.

As for one-sided admission, normally there is no benefit at all, so even after the commentator explained it, everyone was still surprised.

But... everyone soon understood Guan Liyuan's intention!

After Guan Liyuan entered the venue in person, the Pokémon he released was Shield Sword - this kind of very arrogant Pokémon, the Kalos people have the impression that it is very picky about its trainers!

Swordsman is one of the very few Pokémon that was not born during the species explosion two million years ago. It is said that this Pokémon was originally born from the weapon of the Giant King. Among Pokémon It was born very late, and like other Pokémon that were not born during the species explosion period, no Super Stone of the Shield Sword Monster has been found yet...

At the same time, perhaps due to its origin, Shieldsword is known in many historical records as a Pokémon that can see through the king's qualifications and will only follow the king.

Show your true form! Shield Sword Monster!

I saw the light of evolution blooming all over the body of the Shield Sword Monster. The Shield Sword Monster has not yet discovered the super evolution. The Shield Sword Monster that just appeared does not have anything similar to a super stone. It is certain that this is Guan Liyuan's special skill - —Evolution of bonds.

Usually Pokémon in the bonded evolved form will be more anthropomorphic, but Swordsman is obviously an exception...

The normal Shield Sword Monster actually looks somewhat anthropomorphic in its sword form. It has a sword body as its body and a sword hilt as its head. There is a single eye on the sword grid, and its arms stretch out from both sides of the sword grid. , holding a round shield.

However, after the bond evolved, the appearance was far beyond everyone's expectations...

The light of evolution of the Shield Sword Monster was directly directed towards Guan Liyuan beside him. Afterwards, amid the discussion in the audience and the dead silence of the commentator, after the light dissipated, the Shield and Shield of the Shield Sword Monster were seen. The sword part suddenly separated and was held in Guan Liyuan's hands.

The stickman-style arms that originally stretched out from the sword grid were also separated from the Strong Shield Sword Monster at this time, and wrapped around Guan Liyuan's arms. The fan-shaped decorative part just formed shoulder pads on Guan Liyuan's shoulders. …

In addition to the separation of various parts, the shape of the sword body and hilt of the Shield Sword Monster, that is, the streamline and proportion, have also undergone subtle changes. From originally just looking like a sword, it has truly become a hand-held sword. , but...the sword body and the shield are too big compared to Guan Liyuan!

A normal Strong Shield Sword Monster is 1.7 meters tall - that is, 1.7 meters in terms of sword body + hilt, but Guan Liyuan's Strong Shield Sword Monster is even taller than the standard, probably 1.8 meters tall!

Compared with the one-third of the height before the evolution of the bond, the proportion of the hilt is much smaller, but for Guan Liyuan, it is still too long, too thick, and even feels uncontrollable.

When Guan Liyuan evolved the bond of the Shield Sword Monster for the first time, he was also shocked...

At that time, the Shield Sword Monster's body was lit up for a long time, but it still had not completed its evolution. Guan Liyuan thought something was wrong.

It wasn't until the Strong Shield Sword Monster sent a message to Guan Liyuan, saying that it vaguely felt that it seemed that Guan Liyuan needed to get closer to complete this process, Guan Liyuan then approached...

Guan Liyuan estimated that the original Shield Sword Monster cooperated with the Giant Man in this way. Not many modern Shield Sword Monsters were even subdued by trainers, let alone evolved through bondage!

Even for the Shield Sword Monster itself, this is a very novel thing - after all, it is its ancestor who cooperates with the Giant Man, and it itself does not have such a memory.

Not only Guan Liyuan had this speculation, but after seeing Guan Liyuan's current appearance, many trainers remembered the reason for the birth of the Shield Sword Monster and its characteristics of being very picky about trainers...

There are also some trainers who are very familiar with the giant civilization, and they think of the images of warriors in some murals of the giant civilization, who are also holding shields and swords.

It's just that in the giant man's hand, he has a long sword and a round shield, while in Guan Liyuan's hand, he has a door panel and a large shield...

The diameter of the shield is also over one meter. For giants, it may be used to withstand attacks from specific directions, but for Guan Liyuan... if he shrinks down, he can completely cover himself and use it as a tower shield!

It's really surprising. Is this why the Shield Sword Monster is picky about the trainer? Teng Xiao couldn't help but say during the duel.

That's right, because the Shield Sword Monster is not looking for a trainer, but a sword holder. Guan Liyuan said.

By the way...Brother Liyuan, you are really strong. The Shield Sword Monster weighs more than a hundred kilograms, right? Teng Xiao asked doubtfully.

After all, the real world of Pokémon is different from the one in the animation. In the animation, Ash holds a thirty-kilogram rocket with one arm, and frequently picks up a hundred kilograms of stir-fried pigs, Yukila... these all belong to It’s a basic operation, but in the Pokémon world, if Xiaozhi can make Pikachu, who weighs more than ten pounds, sit on his shoulders, he has already worked hard!

No, it's mainly because these two things have increased my arm strength, which just offsets the weight of the sword and shield. In fact, I feel like I have empty hands now. Guan Liyuan shook his arm as he spoke.

It seems that the two black belts wrapped around Guan Liyuan's arms, which are the original arms of the Strong Shield Sword Monster, are not just for decoration - in fact, they are not just as simple as increasing arm strength. For Guan Liyuan, there is no weight on his whole body. It feels like the fettered shield sword monster has no weight to him!

Guan Liyuan's answer is true, but at the same time, with Guan Liyuan's physique, even without this characteristic, he can barely swing more than a hundred kilograms of equipment, but he will get tired soon, but there is no need to let others People know.

I see... But in terms of speed, what about the defense of parts without shields? Teng Xiao asked pointedly.

What do you think? Guan Liyuan did not answer directly. If the previous question might have been out of curiosity, then this question was just a cliche.

Regarding the form of the Shield Sword Monster that comes from the ancient civilization, neither Teng Xiao, nor the commentator and commentator, nor the other trainers on the field... don't know much about it, but at least they can see it. , this form most likely depends on the trainer's own sword skills to a certain extent!

And Guan Liyuan went into battle in person... Not to mention whether he knew sword skills, the size of the sword and shield was also difficult for Guan Liyuan to control, right?

Then be careful... Lili, let brother Liyuan see your true power! Teng Xiao said.

The commentator took the time to say: Master of the Ma Embroidery Hall, what do you think of the vine-shaped Mariluli?

You can also see right away that the characteristic of Tengxiao's Mariluli is the 'Hercules'. Although the time it took for Tengxiao to conquer Mariluli was not as long as that of Xishi Hairen and Xiangjing, it is only 85 years old now. However, due to the 'Hercules' characteristic, Maliluri's combat power has now reached the King level, and her attack power is extremely outstanding!

Especially after using 'that move', its attack power is quite terrifying among the king-level ones. The owner of the house obviously expected this, so he took back the knight snail. It's just... I don't know why Master Guan House thinks that his performance will be better if he plays in person?

Even if he now has the defensive power of the Shield Sword Monster, he probably won't be able to block Maliluri's attack. As long as he is hit once, the fourth Pokémon will have no chance to appear... Ma Xiu said.

The commentator was a little confused after hearing this, and couldn't help but ask: That trick? What did the owner of the Ma Embroidery Hall say?

Here we come... Ma Xiu said while looking at Maliluli on the field.

Roar--

I saw Mariluli, after being inspired by Fujitsu, begin to punch her round belly... Or could it be said that the whole body is actually a belly?

The muffled sounds made people understand that the intensity of this hammering was definitely not a joke...
