At the beginning, Shinji gave me the elf

"Ding~dong~"

On the way to Jiayuan City, Shiraishi suddenly heard a pleasant sound of a piano.

"Who is so free-minded as to play the piano in the wild?"

Full of curiosity, Shiraishi immediately followed the direction where the sound of the piano came from and looked for it.

But they met a strange man wearing a green sun hat and a green cloak, holding a harp in both hands.

He was leaning against a tree, playing the harp in his hand with a face full of intoxication.

Standing next to him was a poisonous rose, listening carefully.

The sound of the piano that Shiraishi heard also came from this.

"Wow, it's really you..."

Seeing the man in front of him, Shiraishi suddenly realized.

If he remembered correctly, the other person's name was Shang Zhi, and he had a hobby of being a bard.

Currently, I am collecting ribbons from the Grand Competition and gym badges at the same time.

In the animation, he is considered the common enemy of Xiaozhi and Xiaoguang.

What impressed Shiraishi the most was the match between him and Ash at the Suzuran Tournament.

Shang Zhi was defeated by Xiao Zhi and stopped in the first round.

His ace elf seems to be a speaker cricket?

Thinking of this, Shiraishi almost laughed out loud.

Speaker crickets and other things, it's playing trump card.

Can it be used? I can’t be that! If you don’t have this ability, it’s easy to kill!

It is a thousand miles away from the ace, speaker cricket.

Even if it evolves a little further, it may not have this ability.

Shang Zhi regards Speaker Cricket as his trump card. No wonder he will lose Xiao Wang, then Xiao Zhi, and no one loses in the end.

"The look in your eyes makes me feel a little uncomfortable. Do you have any advice?"

Perhaps sensing someone's malice, Shangzhi stopped playing and spoke to Shiraishi in a calm tone.

The look in Shiraishi's eyes was similar to how he looked at some noisy elves who often made noises.

Although, he didn't know what Shiraishi was thinking.

However, he was sure that there was definitely something impolite about it.

"Um...well..."

Bai Shi, who was caught red-handed, had a stiff expression on his face, his eyes were a little evasive, and he looked quite guilty.

After all, hiding on the side and secretly arranging others is not a glorious thing.

"I see that you are a trainer. Are you interested in fighting me?"

Shiraishi hesitated for a long time before he came up with a reasonable excuse.

"Fight? I'm very happy!"

Shang Zhi could tell at a glance that Shiraishi was lying.

However, it doesn't matter, I can just use the battle to teach the other party etiquette.

After discussion, the two sides decided to have a 1vs1 game.

……

"Play some gorgeous music, Speaker Cricket!"

Shang Zhi sent a cricket-like elf with main colors of red and black onto the field.

Not long ago, the speaker cricket had just completed its evolution.

With Speaker Cricket's evolved strength, it should be enough to deal with the impolite trainer in front of him.

"Hey, I really sent out a speaker cricket... In that case, I won't be polite."

"Go ahead, Mongoose Slash!"

Seeing the speaker cricket, Shiraishi's eyes lit up, and he instantly felt that his chances of winning had improved a lot.

So, he killed the meerkats and sent them out.

I hope it can win the opponent's first game since joining.

"Speaker Cricket, use Sing!"

Shang Zhi gently plucked the harp in his arms and commanded it gracefully towards the speaker.

From the mouth of the speaker cricket, an extremely beautiful song was sung.

The elf enveloped by the song will enter a sleep state.

"Don't even think about succeeding, Mongoose Slash, use high-speed movement!"

Seeing this, Shiraishi quickly shouted to Mongoose.

The mongoose lay prone on the ground, exerted all its strength, and ran at an extremely fast speed, widening the distance between itself and its opponent.

The song of the loudspeaker cricket cannot cover itself.

"Mongoose Slash, use Rending Claw!"

Under Shiraishi's command, Mongoose Slash quickly counterattacked.

Using the acceleration of the high-speed movement skills, he rushed in front of the Speaker Cricket.

He raised his sharp claws glowing with cold light and slashed at the speaker cricket fiercely.

"Speaker cricket, use cross-cut scissors!"

Shang Zhi's expression remained unchanged and he directed the speaker cricket to attack.

Speaker Cricket raised his sickle-like arms in front of him to face the oncoming Mongoose.

"Bang~"

The arms of both sides collided together and entered a primitive wrestling state.

After a stalemate for several seconds, they separated from each other and retreated to the rear.

Among them, the speaker cricket was more embarrassed and retreated several meters away.

Apparently, he was at a disadvantage during the fight with the mongoose and suffered serious injuries.

"It's starting to get interesting! Speaker Cricket, use combo!"

Shang Zhi was not surprised but overjoyed, and directed the speaker cricket.

Only opponents of similar strength can play a moving piece together.

A coquettish red light flashed, and the speaker cricket waved its arms, slashing at the meerkat in turn.

"Mongoose Slash, we also use Continuous Slash!"

Not to be outdone, Shiraishi asked Mongoose Zhan to use the same skill.

Meerkat Zhan stretched out his sharp claws and waved them wildly, intersecting with Speaker Cricket's arms.

There were countless phantoms of arms left in the sky.

The offensives of both sides were continuous, and no one was willing to stop first and surrender to the opponent.

"This is the real battle! Speaker Cricket, use Split!

A trace of fanaticism flashed in Shang Zhi's eyes, and his impression of Shiraishi changed greatly.

He had only experienced this exciting feeling when fighting Xiaozhi.

It is a completely different experience from the gorgeous competition.

In return, he is willing to forgive Shiraishi for his previous rudeness.

Then, use all your strength to fight the opponent's elves.

Speaker Cricket suddenly retreated, opening up the distance between itself and Mongoose Zhan again.

He concentrated all the remaining strength in his body on one arm and slashed at the mongoose with all his strength.

"Mongoose Chop, we also use Split!"

Shiraishi, who was aroused by the fierce battle, unconsciously clenched his fists, slashed at the mongoose, and shouted loudly.

The opponent's strength was somewhat beyond his imagination, so he had to go all out.

Mongoose Zhan smiled ferociously, raised his arms, and went forward without hesitation.

"Bang~"

The arms of both sides collided again, making a dull sound.

A few seconds later, the two elves fell back in unison and fell heavily to the ground.

"Meerkat Chop (speaker cricket)!"

Seeing the scene in front of him, Shiraishi and Shangzhi exclaimed.

In a short period of time, the two elves who fell to the ground were unable to get up again.

"Come on, Mongoose Zhan, the battle is not over yet, don't admit defeat!"

Seeing this, Shiraishi began to shout loudly and use words to encourage his elf.

"Cut~" (I won't lose!)

Encouraged by Shiraishi, Mongoose Zhan gritted his teeth, put one hand on the ground, and climbed up shakily.

The speaker cricket was still lying on the ground without any movement.

In the end, Mongoose Zhan won with great difficulty, defeating Shang Zhi's Speaker Cricket with his tenacious will and unwillingness to admit defeat.

"The battle with you is really wonderful."

After the game, Shangzhi said to Shiraishi with a smile.

I completely forgot about Shiraishi’s previous impolite behavior.

"I'm also very happy to fight against you."

Upon hearing this, Baishi changed his previous contempt and spoke to Shangzhi solemnly.

The barrier between the two was thus eliminated.
