I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

The golden electric wheel rotated around Morubeco's body to cope with the growing power of the striker, but as time went by, Morubeco found that he had been completely suppressed, and the previously preserved At this time, the little strength that came down seemed to be stuck by something, and there was no way to release it.

"..."

There was the sound of Shang Ha's beat with both hands, and Ma Li's expression became a little irritable. She could clearly see that Morubek was not in the state, but even so, she couldn't find the source of the problem. It can't be solved, can it be said that just clapping hands can interfere with the opponent?Mary herself did not believe this.

But no matter how Ma Li didn't believe it, Mo Ru Bei Ke was now at a disadvantage in the confrontation, which she couldn't ignore. Ma Li had no choice but to let Mo Ru Bei Ke temporarily avoid the edge.

"leave!"

"Chop tiles!"

Ma Li chose to avoid the sharp edge. Under normal circumstances, there is nothing wrong. After all, if she persists like this, the loser will definitely be to fight the ghost. As long as a trainer with a little experience can see this point, and will make a move. Same decision as Mary.

But at the moment when Ma Li gave the order, Shang He's expression showed a hint of success, while Yi, who was standing beside Bai Chen and carefully watching the battle, covered his face in frustration.

This time, isn't Rhythm being led away by Grandpa again...

At first, I thought that Mary had the hope of defeating her grandfather, so I would be able to ridicule him at that time, but judging from the current situation, there is really no way~

Just as Tsubasa thought in his heart, after Morubeco quickly distanced himself from the striker, the striker, who received the command to continue attacking, chased after Morubeco again with a stride. The hand knife surrounded by white light slashed at Morbeco again.

"Electric light!" Seeing this, Ma Li hurriedly asked Mo Lu Bei Ke to launch a counterattack.

Morube, whose body was suspended in mid-air, didn't care about adjusting the direction of his power at this time. The sound of splitting tiles across the air had already been heard. If he didn't quickly let the electric light wrap himself, he might only have suffered a match. It's almost over.

"Mor—!"

Out of an instinctive sense of self-protection, the moment Piwa was about to hit it, Morubek released all the electricity stored in his body, forming an armor made of electric current on the surface of his body.

However, even though Morubeke has shown a stronger protection mechanism than the hedgehog, the attack of the fighting ghost did not stop there. Its expression was full of determination, and the hand knife that was shining with white light just slashed in response to the current. go down.

"Mor—!"

Being hit by splitting tiles, Morubeco groaned in pain. Due to its small size, Morubeco's entire body had been completely thrown upside down. On the other hand, after being entangled by the electric current, Morubeco's arm had no expression. Other than being slightly stiff, there was no other reaction.

"!?"

The successive defeats made Ma Li's expression completely lose her composure. Although it was not the first time she had seen a disadvantaged situation, this time it was different.

The opponent's shot was completely beyond her expectations. She was the one who mastered the rhythm first, but in such a short two rounds of fighting, she was unable to draw up a good plan in her mind.

What's next?Take this opportunity to strengthen?Or two consecutive kicks?Could it be... no or...

Pa~!

In the few seconds that Ma Li was thinking, only listening to the beat in Shang He's hands seemed to have reached a turning point, only hearing a crisp snap, Shang He commanded the striking ghost to make the last attack with a proud face.

"Chop tiles!"

really! ?

Just as she thought, Shanghe let the strike ghost use tile splitting again. The damage Molubeke caused to the opponent before feels like it is not visible at this time. The strike ghost is still moving forward so powerfully, and... .....

strange?

Mary seemed to have discovered something at this time. Generally, in a Pokémon battle, the Pokémon that received the attack command would choose to sprint in a straight line in order to complete the attack task as quickly as possible, but this ghost-fighting pace does not seem to be like this. .

However, even though Mary could see the clues of one of them, she couldn't figure out how to fight against this trick of splitting tiles. Morube was already lying on the ground at this time, trying to get up with difficulty. But the next tile splitting has already fallen from the air with even more forceful power.

"Avoid—!"

"stop!"

"?!"

Molubeke originally wanted to avoid the split tile by rolling, but after hearing Shang He's shout and seeing that the action of striking the ghost stopped, it also froze in place. .

call--!

The palm wind of splitting the tiles fell straight down, although the action of striking the ghost stopped in the middle, but the aftermath of the splitting tiles has already driven the airflow on the field to rush to the sides, and Morube on the field can see After this powerful palm wind, he could only stay where he was, and couldn't recover for a long time.

"Hahaha, how's it going? Have you realized what beat battle is?"

Shang He seemed to enjoy Ma Li's somewhat sluggish expression, so he laughed a few times and walked to the fighting ghost on the field.

"After all, it's just an exhibition match. You don't have to score points to decide the outcome. It's not good to let Pokémon suffer more meaningless injuries." Seeing that Ma Li still couldn't let go, Shang Ha restrained his smile a little, and smoothed things over like this .

"No, this time I lost the game... I can't find a way to break the rhythm battle at all."

Ma Li did not accept Shang He's statement, but just let out a long sigh and admitted her failure.

......

228 Apprentice for a day, metronome

"how do you feel?"

Ma Li's defeat did not surprise Bai Chen too much. After all, she is not an experienced Pokémon trainer. Is it normal?

But what Bai Chen didn't expect was that he only smiled at first so that Ma Li wouldn't take it to heart, but now Ma Li was a little unhappy because of Bai Chen's smile, and felt that he didn't think she could do it from the very beginning. Same as winning.

But even so, if you lose, you lose. There is nothing to say. Faced with Bai Chen's question, Ma Li just puffed her cheeks slightly, lowered her head and said in a low voice:

"The move is simple, but there is absolutely no way to deal with it."

"Is that so..."

Bai Chen nodded, expressing his understanding.

Just now when he was watching their battle, Bai Chen made some discoveries, but Ma Li's statement that there was nothing he could do about it made him a little surprised. Don't have any hack ideas either?

"Haha~ Seeing how thoughtful you look, why don't you try it too? Even though I've suffered some injuries from hitting ghosts, I still have other Pokémon to replace it."

Bai Chen's pensive appearance made Shang He think that he also wanted to fight, so he greeted him like this, as if he was going to fight another round at any time.

But of course Bai Chen, who had no intention of fighting in the first place, quickly refused. Compared to fighting by himself, he was more curious about the mystery of beat battle.

"If I'm not mistaken, it shouldn't be an illusion that the tile-splitting power used to strike the ghost is getting stronger every time, right?"

"Haha, of course it's not an illusion. Its tile splitting power is indeed constantly improving, but you can guess it because..."

"Sure enough, the power of skills and moves is enhanced through special rhythm and pace... I have seen many cases of this, but none of those cases have done this... eh? You What's wrong?"

Before listening to Shang He's speech, Bai Chen had already started to speculate on his own, but looking at Shang He's expression, Bai Chen's conjecture should have been hit. At this time, his expression was a little embarrassed, but after seeing It wasn't until Bai Chen didn't seem to hear the second half of his sentence at all, that he regained his composure and pretended to be normal:

"Well, you're right!"

......

"That's why, my grandpa just wants to save face, even if he is seen by others, he still pretends."

"Ah... um..."

After seeing his grandfather's appearance, Yi on one side couldn't help but walked to Ma Li's side and complained to her in such a low voice.

For some reason, Yi's attitude towards her has completely changed after seeing Ma Li's battle.

"Well, cough cough..." Hearing his granddaughter's complaints, Shang He just coughed a few times in embarrassment to divert his attention, and then looked at Bai Chen as if nothing had happened, and said : "In short, it is probably as you said, Pokémon's skills can be enhanced through the combination of specific rhythm and pace. Although many people have discovered this, they have been scientifically planned. It's just my family!"

("Actually, I heard that Grandpa tried every rhythm before. It seems that he failed thousands of times before he found a few decent rhythms.")

"Hey——! Don't always tear down the stage! Even if it's just a few rhythms, it's hard to master! Don't underestimate the rhythm battle! And you haven't even mastered one of them so far! You still have a long way to go! Just sit quietly and watch!"

The grandpa and grandson seemed to be bickering whenever they had a chance, and Bai Chen and Ma Li, who were bystanders, naturally couldn't get in the way, but in order to prevent quarrels, Bai Chen quickly made his own request to Shang He .

"Well, I'm sorry, although it may be a bit difficult, but can you please let her learn beat fighting with you for a day? Just one day will be fine."

"..."

During this period, Ma Li kept quiet. Although she had already guessed Bai Chen's thoughts, she still wanted to use victory to show that she didn't need help from others before the battle. At this time, it is impossible for a normal trainer to make any normal judgments.

"Oh? Although I don't care, can I learn anything in a day? Although her talent is not bad."

Regarding his rhythm battle, although he claims to be an exclusive secret, Shang Ha has never regarded it as something that cannot be passed on, otherwise he would not have set up such a venue before to teach rhythm battle to one after another. Learn the trainer too.

"Hmm~ Although I don't know how much she can master, I believe that Marie should be fine. Her learning ability is very strong."

"Well......"

Suddenly being praised by Bai Chen again, Mary, who was still somewhat dissatisfied, immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.

On the other hand, since Bai Chen has said so, Shang He naturally has no objection. Rather, he hopes that Ma Li can master the secrets of beat battle in one day. After all, he has opened the dojo for so long before. I haven't seen a few apprentices who can master the rhythm battle. The best is just to follow the gourd and learn his Pokmon configuration secretly.

"Since that's the case... I know, anyway, I haven't taught anyone else for a long time, and today just makes me regain the feeling of being the master of the past! Xiaoyi, use the metronome!"

"I know~"

After hearing Shang He's words, Yi sighed a little bored, and walked out into the room. After a while, she saw a small instrument in the shape of a triangular pyramid, and the swinging needle in the middle was still following Yi's footsteps. It was shaking, and there were bursts of crisp noises.

"A metronome? Is this also your invention?" Seeing this delicate little thing, Bai Chen couldn't help squatting down to look it over, and asked.

"Of course! Don't underestimate this instrument. If you want to get started with beat battles, you must have the help of a metronome. Only after you are thoroughly proficient can you get rid of the help of the metronome and use your hands to beat the beat to command the battle. .”

Is it equivalent to a battle prop?

After listening to Shang He's introduction, Bai Chen had a general understanding of the function of the metronome.

In other words, the metronome is a bit similar to the KEY stone, it is a prop that is carried by the trainer and affects Pokémon during the battle.

......

229 Preparations, beat preparation

Shang He readily agreed to Bai Chen's request, and taught Ma Li the skills of beat fighting within this day.

As outsiders, Bai Chen and Yi could only watch the battle from the sidelines.

At this time, in the dojo, Ma Li and Shang He were standing on both sides of the arena respectively, conducting the training session of beat fighting.

"Ahem, the so-called rhythm battle, in fact, the essence is to let the Pokmon use the same skill to collide with the opponent continuously in a short period of time, so that it has higher control over the skill it uses repeatedly and releases a greater force. Come mighty power."

"Of course, to achieve the effect of enhancing the power of skills, it is not enough to simply give the command to attack. The most important thing is to find a suitable rhythm and follow the rhythm to fight."

"Beat, use this?"

Mary stretched out her finger out of curiosity and shook the pointer of the metronome lightly, and the clear and crisp impact sounded around the venue, which made people feel relaxed.

"Yes, the sound produced by the pointer collision of this material is the best one I can find so far. Before swinging the pointer, you first press and hold the little white button to the left of the metronome."

"Is that so?"

Mary raised the metronome, aimed at Shang He and pressed the white button.

"Well, then you move the pointer with your hand to determine the rhythm you want."

"Well......"

At this point, Ma Li's expression looked a little embarrassed. She wanted to find a rhythm by herself, which meant it was a bit like an arrangement?It is simply impossible to complete this step in one day, right?

Looking at Ma Li's distressed expression, Shang Ha certainly knew that his request was a bit embarrassing. Compiling his own fighting rhythm can be said to be the most difficult part of the rhythm battle. Even for him, it took a few Ten years has only compiled a few repertoires.

"Come according to your feeling for the first time. Although this link is difficult, it is not as complicated as you imagined. It may be possible to use a metronome to beat out the rhythm of your favorite song. Even if the effect is not particularly good, But as long as you and your Pokémon can control a rhythm perfectly, then the rhythm battle will start to pay off."

"Is it okay to play the tune you like?"

"Well, in principle, this is the case, but it still depends on how well you and your Pokémon can master. After all, the beat represents the pace and attack rhythm of Pokmon in battle. If the Pokmon itself is not suitable for your chosen Without a certain rhythm, it is impossible to exert the power of rhythm battle no matter what."

Although it is not detailed, Shang Ha's statement can be regarded as an inspiration to Ma Li.

That is to say, in the rhythm battle, every movement of Pokémon follows the rhythm. It should be right to find the feeling of attack through the sense of rhythm, right?

If it is indeed the same as what she thinks, Ma Li hopes that the tempo can be fast as the main feature, after all, when it comes to her favorite tunes...

rock?

Apart from this style, I couldn't find anything else, and it was because Ma Li didn't listen to much music herself, and the rock music that became popular in Spike Town was the one she had the most contact with.

It seems that this rhythm was brought up by my brother, right?At that time, because of the popular rock and roll trend, many tourists who came to Spike Town were scared away.

Ugh......

Thinking of this, Mary could not help but sigh.

Forget it, those things are nothing more than black history after all, now we still have to consider the issue of rhythm... Even if I don’t really love rock and roll, if the rhythm of rock and roll can be integrated into the battle, maybe its effect will be great Is it better than I expected?

However, if you want to play a rock rhythm with this...

Mary tilted her head, closed her eyes and recalled the songs she had heard most often before, then stretched out her index finger, pressed against the pointer of the metronome, and began to shake it according to the rhythm in her memory.

Such a fast rhythm, is this the so-called rock music?

Shang Ha couldn't help frowning after hearing the melody played by Ma Li using the metronome.

He is not a young man anymore, he really doesn't appreciate music like rock, and in his eyes, if the fast rhythm of rock is substituted into the battle, if he does it wrong, his Pokmon will expose a lot of flaws. In this case, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?

However, everyone's fighting style is different after all, so Shang He didn't stop Marie or anything because of this, but carefully observed the actions that Morubek was about to give in order to give his own opinion .

"Is it actually a rock style? You can't tell it at all..."
