At the beginning, Shinji gave me the elf

someday.

The grand finale of the Futaba Festival, the battle tournament came as scheduled.

The area around the battlefield was already crowded with spectators.

Many trainers who signed up for the competition also gathered together, waiting for the competition to begin.

"Tsk, there are quite a few contestants, maybe dozens?"

Shiraishi looked around and found many familiar people.

Xiaozhi's trio, Ah Yun and Kuroda are all on the list.

"In this doubles competition, the strongest trainers should still be Xiaozhi and Ah Shun."

"With my current strength, even if I face them, I still have a good chance of winning."

"As for Kuroda, we need to observe it first."

Shiraishi still has full confidence in winning the battle tournament.

“Everyone is welcome to attend the Futaba Celebration. On behalf of the committee, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you all!”

"Now I declare that the battle conference has officially begun!"

Under the auspices of Xiaoguang's mother Ayako, the battle conference officially kicked off.

Although the special guest Huang Lang was a few minutes late, it was innocuous and did not affect the progress of the battle conference.

The battle list for the battle conference was quickly posted.

There are more than thirty contestants in total who have signed up for the competition.

These thirty or so people were divided into upper and lower halves, a total of sixteen groups.

The two people in the group fight each other, and the winner advances to play against the winner of the other group.

And so on until the final winner is determined.

Shiraishi, Kuroda and Ah Yun are in the top half.

The trio of Xiaozhi fell into the lower half.

This also means that if Shiraishi wants to win, he must win five games in a row.

Since the competition is completed on the same day, the schedule is very intensive.

In order to prevent the elves from becoming exhausted, Shiraishi decided to implement a "major rotation".

All the main elves except the Scary-Antlered Deer have a chance to play.

"Thunder Beast, use electric shock wave!"

"Tulong Jiejie, use flame jet!"

The opponents in the first two rounds were not strong. Shiraishi easily won and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the competition.

As for the other group battles, except for Xiaoguang who lost to Xiaogang due to civil war, Xiaozhi and Ah Xun both advanced smoothly.

Next, Shiraishi and Kuroda will compete for the top four seats.

In the final two rounds of the game, the elves sent by Kuroda included the evolved initial elves, the straight bear, and the water and evil-type Iron Claw Lobster.

Objectively speaking, his strength is pretty good, but not much better than his opponents in the first two rounds.

In view of Kuroda's previous bold words, Shiraishi believed that these two were definitely not his strongest elves.

Therefore, Shiraishi did not underestimate the opponent and would still go all out.

……

"Shiraishi, I won't lose to you again in this battle!"

Before the battle began, Kuroda said confidently.

In the orphanage, he got some information about Shiraishi.

Knowing that Shiraishi has only obtained three badges now, one less than himself.

Moreover, in his opinion, Baishi's Thunder Beast and Earth Dragon Jiejie were not particularly strong.

Kuroda firmly believes that he can definitely defeat the opponent this time.

"Haha, who can't tell lies? Use your elf to prove it!"

Shiraishi smiled and retorted nonchalantly.

"Hmph, as you wish! Go, Tanabata Blue Bird, win this game for me!"

Kuroda snorted coldly and dispatched the strongest elf he had conquered to the field.

"Qixi Blue Bird? He's quite a good elf. No wonder he has such a loud tone."

"Muck Eagle, I'm leaving it to you!"

Baishi thought for a moment and sent Muke Ying to fight.

The other party's Qixi Blue Bird doesn't look weak, so it shouldn't be taken lightly.

"The person I am now has completely changed."

"Even if that Mukele evolves to its final evolution, it will never be my opponent!"

Seeing Shiraishi's appearance, Kuroda pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand, still confident.

After the two elves were in place, the game officially started.

"Qixi Bluebird, use cotton to defend!"

Kuroda was the first to give the order and shouted to Tanabata Blue Bird.

The white fluff outside the Qixi Blue Bird's body suddenly expanded like cotton, greatly increasing its defense.

"Muck Eagle, use Air Slash!"

Naturally, Shiraishi would not remain indifferent and immediately commanded.

The Muke Eagle flapped its wings vigorously, releasing several transparent blades.

"Qixi Blue Bird, use Dragon Wave!"

Facing the incoming sharp blade, Kuroda's expression changed and he commanded the Tanabata Blue Bird Way.

The Tanabata Blue Bird opened its mouth and spit out a green dragon-shaped shock wave.

Easily, he blocked Mukeying's air slash.

"Qixi Blue Bird, use the power of the moon!"

After blocking his opponent's attack, Kuroda quickly launched a counterattack.

A strange bright moon appeared on the field.

With the help of the bright moon, the Tanabata Blue Bird condenses a pink energy ball and shoots towards the Muke Eagle.

"Muck Eagle, use high-speed movement!"

Baishi's eyes narrowed and he commanded Muke Yingdao.

Muck Eagle flapped its wings, bursting out at extremely fast speeds, and dodged effortlessly.

"It's so fast!"

Kuroda's pupils shrank and he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"It's time to counterattack! Muke Ying, use high-speed swallow return!"

Before Kuroda could finish being surprised, Shiraishi shouted to Muke Taka.

The Muck Eagle suddenly changed direction and rushed towards the Tanabata Blue Bird like a sharp arrow.

Qixi Blue Bird was caught off guard and was hit by Muke Ying, causing considerable damage.

"Qixi Bluebird, use Yuqi!"

Kuroda was sweating profusely when he saw this, and shouted to the Tanabata Blue Bird.

Qixi Blue Bird's body lit up with a white light and began to slowly recover its strength.

"Muck Eagle, use Brave Bird to attack!"

Shiraishi did not give the opponent this chance, and commanded Muke Ying to continue the attack.

The Muke Eagle gathered its wings, bathed in the blazing firelight, and charged towards the Tanabata Blue Bird.

Only when you have accumulated enough strength can you spread your wings and expand your attack area.

"No! Qixi Blue Bird, get away!"

Kuroda's expression changed drastically, and he quickly ordered the Tanabata Blue Bird to avoid it.

Unfortunately, it was still too late.

The Tanabata Blue Bird couldn't dodge and was directly hit by the Muke Eagle.

Thanks to the cotton defense used previously, the ability to fight again was not lost.

"Muck Eagle, use close combat!"

Baishi took advantage of the victory to pursue and commanded Muke Yingdao.

The Mukeying clung to it and used all parts of its body to launch a frantic attack on the Qixi Blue Bird.

Qixi Blue Bird was helpless and was knocked unconscious quickly.

Shiraishi thus won the game and advanced to the semi-finals of the tournament.

"I...have lost?"

Looking at the Tanabata Blue Bird who fell into a coma, Kuroda's mind went blank, and he was still a little confused.

Are you kidding me? Who told him before that Shiraishi's strength was almost the same as his own, but he only had three gym badges?

The person who said this now appeared in front of him, and Kuroda had to twist his head off!

How blind must he be to give himself this false information.

Judging from his own experience, Shiraishi can go to the Suzuran Tournament.

In the later game, Ah Shun easily defeated his opponent and entered the top four, and will start a fierce battle with Shiraishi.

Xiaozhi and Xiaogang also successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
