Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

The fifty-fourth day of traveling to the Kanto region, sunny.

Today is the third day of the Quartz Conference, and the group stage of the sub-venue has entered the third round.

After getting up early and having lunch, Yu Hai came to the draw venue to draw the venue for the third group match. The venue for the third round of group matches was a rock venue.

After getting the draw venue, match, and opponent, he first teleported the Pokémon from the Xia Gan Gym, and then came to the lounge of the rock venue. Xiao Ming and Xiao Mao were both here. It was a coincidence that the three of them were all in the rock venue today.

"Xiao Mao, are you also in the rock venue?" Yu Hai looked at the big screen. Xiao Mao's show was after his. His was the morning show, and Xiao Mao's was the noon show.

And his opponent was the unlucky kid Xiao Ming, who finally met him as he wished.

"Humph, I will beat you," Xiao Mao heard Yu Hai greet him and proudly walked away with the cheerleading girls.

The cheerleaders' presence here really affects the viewing experience of the old perverts. Everyone can't help but look at the cheerleaders and have no time to watch the game on the big screen.

"Hey," Yu Hai smiled helplessly and watched Xiao Mao leave. This kid was still so proud and hadn't learned his lesson at all. It seemed that only after being educated in the competition did he realize that there are always people better than you and only then could he learn to restrain his arrogance.

"I finally meet you," Xiao Ming couldn't help but sigh in a low voice about this fate when he saw Yu Hai sitting down opposite him.

"Or you can just surrender directly, so I can keep the manpower for the knockout round," Yu Hai teased Xiao Ming with a smile. In fact, Xiao Ming's strength was not bad. After all, he was a senior-level trainer and was considered a high-level fighter.

"You wish. Even if we can't win, we have to fight to know." How could Xiao Ming surrender? He knew there was a gap, but he had to know how big the gap was.

Knowing Yu Hai is his biggest advantage. He has collected almost all the intelligence on elves, and many people come to him to buy intelligence. He sells Yu Hai's intelligence at the highest price.

Yu Hai doesn't know yet that all the information about his elf species has been sold out by Xiao Ming.

However, it doesn't matter even if he knows. As long as someone is interested and investigates, they can find out what elves he has. But Xiao Ming only knows what elves he has. As for what the elves are good at, Xiao Ming himself doesn't know.

He had taken Xiao Ming's information for free before, and he didn't care about asking Xiao Ming to sell some of the information to get the money back.

"Haha, it's about to start, get ready to enter!" Yu Hai and Xiao Ming were laughing and joking in the lounge, and both left the lounge. This scene was seen by many players, including some who bought intelligence from Xiao Ming.

Seeing that the two have such a good relationship, many people feel that they have been cheated. Xiao Ming and Yu Hai know each other and they seem to have a good relationship. Yu Hai's information is still the most expensive. If this is not being cheated, then what is?

……

On the playing field, the rocky field…

"The red player in this rock field is Xiao Ming from Hualan City, and the green player is Yu Hai from the Orange Islands..."

"Both players have gone through two rounds of group matches and are also hot favorites to advance to the knockout stage. It is a bit regrettable that they meet in the third round of the group stage. Only one of the two players is destined to go to a bigger stage to show himself today..."

"This is a pity for the players, but it is a lucky day for everyone, because you will see the most exciting duel in the group stage, the confrontation between two senior trainers, right now..."

Hua Hua Hua——

After the host heated up the atmosphere, the referee also spoke...

"There are only three elves in the Rock Field. The fourth game of the Rock Field has officially begun. Please send out your first elves..."

"Go, Foretos..."

"Ho, ho ho..."

"Oh my god, Yu Hai's starting Pokémon is the Gyarados that turned the tide yesterday, and Xiao Ming's starting Pokémon is still Forritos, who had a relatively high win rate in the first two rounds..."

"Oh, you want to play with spikes? You have no chance," Yu Hai smiled. He knew Xiao Ming's spike routine, which was why he used Gyarados as the starting player, because Gyarados had a wide attack range.

No matter what Pokémon Xiao Ming starts with, his Gyarados can restrain Xiao Ming's starting Pokémon. In addition, with the Intimidate attribute, as soon as the opponent's Pokémon appears, its attack will be reduced by one level, its glare will reduce its defense by one level, and its scary face will reduce its speed by two levels.

"Haha, I knew it would be like this," Xiao Ming laughed at himself and used the Poké Ball to take back Foretos, intending to replace the Pokémon.

Ukai's Gyarados can breathe fire, and it can kill Forritos in seconds with just one breath of fire, so there is no way to defeat him.

"Go, Swamp King..."

"Swamp King?" Yu Hai saw Swamp King, pondered for a moment, and then used the Poké Ball to take back Gyarados. It was not that Gyarados could not fight, but the one-on-two tactics remained unchanged. The group stage was not the time to consume Gyarados.

Facing Swamplord, who was four times more restrained by the Grass-type, he thought for a moment, took off the Poké Ball from his waist and threw it out, "It's decided to be you, Farfetch'd..."

"Quack, quack," Farfetch'd was teleported here in the morning and already knew the purpose of being teleported here. As soon as it came out, it stared at the Swamp King with sharp eyes.

"Flaty Duck? After Xiao Ming changed his Pokémon, Ukai also changed his Pokémon. How should Xiao Ming deal with the sharp-eyed Farfetch'd?"

"Flaty Duck," Xiao Ming thought to himself that he had miscalculated. He didn't know that there was another Flaty Duck in Ukai, and the information about this Flaty Duck was unknown, so he just happened to use Swampking to test it.

This Farfetch'd was the one that the Elf Hunter used as food. He hadn't paid attention to Farfetch'd's panel since the Great Island, and he hadn't looked at it for almost four or five months.

【Onion Duck】

[Attribute: General + Flying]

[Gender: Male]

[Potential: 46.73%]

[Level: 45.99%]

[Features: Sharp Eyes/41.55%]

[Master the moves...]

Farfetch'd's potential is stuck at forty-six, and its level is also stuck at forty-five. If you want to increase Farfetch'd's potential, you can only wear the gem and slowly waste time, like a turtle crawling.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to give the gem, but Farfetch’d can’t absorb it quickly, so it can only wear the gem to slowly change its potential. Farfetch’d has a flying gem on it.

After several months, it only increased by 0.7. At the rate of increasing by more than 1 point per year, it would take at least more than ten years to reach the potential of 59.

More than ten years later, he is already in his twenties, almost thirty. By the time Farfetch'd becomes a superstar, he will probably be an old man in his thirties. The help Farfetch'd that he can provide to him is really limited.

However, it is still good for him to play in the group stage. After all, his level is higher than Butterfree, and he is really trying hard. But his limited potential is his biggest flaw, and he is helpless about it.

During this period, Farfetch'd learned a lot of new moves, even grass-type moves, which was why he chose Farfetch'd to fight Swampert.

……

"Swamp King, yawn..."

Swampking stretched lazily, yawned at Farfetch'd, blew a big blue bubble from his mouth, and flew towards Farfetch'd.

Once Farfetch'd is hit by the bubble, Farfetch'd will fall into sleep.

But the speed of this blue bubble is really... too slow, it is impossible for it to hit Farfetch.

"Flat Onion Ducky, move at high speed to avoid it, use the energy..."

"Quack," seeing that the blue bubble was so slow, Onion Ducky quickly turbo-charged its ducking foot, leaving an afterimage, dodged the blue bubble, and ran around Swamp King at high speed, using the energy gathering method.

"Onion Duck, Leaf Blade..."

Onion Ducky took the opportunity to go behind Swampking, and the onions on its wings emitted a green light, turning into a long curved blade that slashed at Swampking.

Leaf Blade, uses the blade like a sword to cut the opponent to attack, and the chance of hitting the vital point is one level higher than most moves.

"Not good, Swamp King, hold on." Xiao Ming heard the word "leaf knife" and cold sweat oozed from his forehead. If Swamp King was hit by the leaf knife, he would be gone...

bang bang bang-

At the critical moment, Swamp King turned around and raised his hand to use a light blue protective shield to block Farfetch'e's leaf blade.

Xiao Ming saw that this was not a solution, and when his defense was about to fail, he shouted to the Swamp King: "Swamp King, return double..."

"Quack, quack," when the Onion Duck heard the double reward, it was too late for Yu Hai to respond. It reacted quickly, bit the onion with its mouth, and flapped its wings quickly to move away from the Swamp King. At the same time, several wind blades flew out from its wings and cut towards the Swamp King.

Double Return: Physical damage received from an opponent will be returned twice as much to the same opponent.

Air Blade, a special attack, has a 30% chance of causing the target that has not yet taken action to fall into a state of fear.

Swamp King couldn't counterattack against the air blade. Not only that, Swamp King was also knocked back by the wind blade and fell into a cowering state.

In the shrinking state, the elves that have not used any moves cannot use any moves during the turn. The shrinking state will be lifted after the turn ends.

"Now, Farfetch'd, Leaf Blade," Yu Hai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Farfetch'd change his moves temporarily. He stopped the words that were on the tip of his tongue, but he hadn't finished speaking them yet, and he didn't have the chance to say them.

While Swamp King is in a cowering state and unable to use his moves, it is a good opportunity for Farfetch'd to attack.

"Quack," the Onion Duck just retreated and walked forward again holding the onion. The green light appeared on the onion again, and it was ready to kill the Swamp King with one knife.

"Dig a hole, Swamp King, dig a hole quickly," Xiao Ming was very anxious when he saw that Swamp King was in a disadvantageous position.

But there was no point in being anxious. Swamp King was cowering. Onion Duck held the onion and slashed at Swamp King. Swamp King had no chance to react. After being stiff for a moment, he screamed in pain and slowly fell to the ground...

"Swamp King has lost his ability to fight. Please ask Xiao Ming to take back Swamp King and send out the second Pokémon..."

As the Swamp King icon on the big screen turned gray, the referee ruled that Swamp King was out, the first match came to an end, and the second match began.

"Swamp King, you've worked hard, take a good rest," Xiao Ming comforted the Swamp King. After all, it was a four-fold restraint, and it was also a 100% critical hit after gathering energy. It was reasonable that the Swamp King couldn't block it.

After taking back Swamp King, he took out the Poké Ball and threw it out again, "Fretos, I leave it to you..."

However, after seeing Forritos, Ukai also used the Poké Ball to retrieve Farfetch'd and threw Gyarados out again, "Roar, roar, roar..."

"Again?" Xiao Ming was also drunk. Every time he wanted to use Foretos, the opponent never gave him any chance!

Seeing this, he took back Foretos again. This was the second time he took back Foretos, and the opportunity to exchange the elves was used twice.

Then, he took off the Poké Ball from his waist and threw out a new Poké Ball, which was also his ace Pokémon, Sandslash.

“Sandslash?” Yu Hai smiled and took back Gyarados. He had too many Pokémons that he could use to deal with this Sandslash, so he took out a new Poké Ball and threw it out, “Starfish, it’s you…”

"Starfish? Not the giant crab?" Xiao Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Starfish. As long as it wasn't the giant crab, it would be fine. If the opponent used that giant crab, he wouldn't have to struggle, as he would definitely lose.

"Chuanshan King, turn into a circle and roll..."

“This move again?” Yu Hai shook his head helplessly. Xiao Ming seemed to like using this move very much. So he said: “Hai Xingxing, jump onto the stone pillar and use gravity…”

hum-

"Hey Cha," the moment Hai Xingxing jumped onto the stone pillar, a gravity field was generated around her body. The Sandslash, which had just rolled into the gravity field, was directly pressed to the ground, with only half of its round body exposed, and the other half was pressed underground.

Xiao Ming should be thankful that Sandslash is a ground-type Pokémon. If it were a flying-type Pokémon or a floating Pokémon, it would all be pressed to the ground and wouldn't be able to get up.

The influence of gravity is two-way. While suppressing Sandslash King, Starfish is also suppressed, making it difficult for it to even move.

"Kuga," Sandslash climbed out of the pit with difficulty. Facing the gravity released by Starfish, he could barely walk but could not run away.

We also have to thank Xiao Ming for his weight training, otherwise Sandshangwang wouldn't be able to move, let alone walk.

The fact that the Sandshovel can walk shows that it has been well bred and can move even in the face of a gravity field. Its strength should not be underestimated.

"Good job, Sandslash King. Just walk over there and defeat it..."

"You still want to come over? You're thinking too simply," Yu Hai smiled and shouted to Hai Xingxing, "Salt water..."

"Hey Cha," It is true that Starfish cannot move, but it can still spray water. Although this water is not aggressive, it will be fine as long as it can flow to the feet of Sandshrew.

As water flowed out of the tentacles of Hai Xingxing, the water flowed to the feet of Chuan Shan Wang. Yu Hai shouted to Hai Xingxing again: "Freezing Ray..."

"Hey Cha," the tentacles on Starfish's head stopped spraying water, and it used the freezing ray towards the ground under the stone pillar, freezing the Sandshrew in the water. The freezing ray continued to spread to the Sandshrew's entire body before stopping.

"The Sandsling is frozen. How is contestant Xiao Ming going to break this situation?" Seeing the tense battle scene, the host immediately spoke up to increase the heat of the game. Although there was no fighting scene in this match, it was a competition of hard power.

"Chongshan, dig a hole," Xiao Ming knew that Chongshan could not get to Hai Xingxing. Even if he broke the ice, Chongshan would be frozen again because it had difficulty moving under gravity. The only way to break the deadlock was to dig a hole.

The longer Sandsang King is frozen, the more energy he consumes. Low temperature is a terrifying killer...

He must get Sandslash away from the gravity field and the frozen field, otherwise Sandslash's strength cannot be fully exerted.

slam-la-

"Kuja," the Sandshrew heard about digging and immediately broke the ice, raised its sharp claws to dig through the glacier and penetrated deep into the rock layer underground.
