Across the battlefield, two identical figures of Gardevoir made Lurina fall into deep thought.

On the surface, this is a choice of luck. In fact, this is Xia Chen's challenge to Lu Lina to play the game again.

Xia Chen used Gardevoir, who was in extremely poor condition, as a test question, and left the decision of the winner of this battle to Lurina.

If you choose the right one, Super Gyarados can defeat Gardevoir. The battle between the two sides reaches 1:1, and Lucina still has a chance of winning.

If you make the wrong choice, what will greet Super Gyarados must be the power of the second moon, or a move like a loud sound. Even if Gyarados does not die, it will quickly fall to the next move, or the next elf hand that appears.

Xia Chen is almost certain to win.

This is a game where neither the bet nor the profit is fair to Lurina.

But there is no way, who asked Xia Chen to ask the question?

The most critical point is that the time of this "exam" is extremely short.

Watching the two figures start to gather energy and prepare to release their moves, Lulina knew that she had to make a decision immediately.

The upward distance is short, and the movement only requires raising the head, while the backward distance is longer and requires an effort to turn around.

From a psychological perspective, Lurina felt that if it were her, she would choose to place the "real Gardevoir" behind Gyarados.

Moreover, that guy Xia Chen has always been cunning. The direction of the previous teleportation was backward, so the possibility of still moving backward the second time is very high.

so...

"Gyarados, raise your head, Gardevoir is on top!"

Lurina shouted loudly, pointing the direction for the confused Gyarados.

The reason for the temporary change of mind was simple. From Xia Chen's point of view, she thought that her opponent would place the real Gardevoir behind her, but that guy couldn't think of this, so she decided to think more about it than her opponent!

As for the subsequent game of "he knows that I know what he thinks", which can be played with infinite matryoshka dolls, it is completely outside the scope of her consideration.

If she really wants to think like this, she will drive herself crazy first, which may lead to her falling into Xia Chen's trap.

Everything in Lurina's mind happened in just two seconds of lightning.

On the battlefield, after receiving the order, Gyarados immediately moved with the wind, suddenly raised its ferocious dragon head that seemed to be coated with a layer of metallic luster, and pointed directly at the unknown figure not far above.

, Qi machine is dangerous and terrifying.

Perhaps it was the continuous teleportation and shadow clones that made Gardevoir slow down, or perhaps it was fear that the power of the moon released in advance would allow Lucina to determine the true direction of Gardevoir. It was not until Gyarados started to move that the two Gardevoirs

The deep purple light in front of him suddenly burst out.

One up and one right, energy beams from different directions converged on Gyarados as accurately as a laser cannon, raising its head.

At the same time, the metallic-glossy dragon head suddenly collided with the body of the Gardevoir above.

…………

Fur——

There was only a roar like the wind in response. Above, the hard iron head of the Gyarados shattered the phantom with all its strength, announcing the failure of Lurina's guessing game.

I don't know if Xia Chen thought about the atmosphere, or if he didn't think about it that much and just stood on the floor.

The real Gardevoir is located behind Gyarados!

boom--

Unlike Gyarados's iron head that hit the shadow clone in vain, the second ray of moon power hit Super Gyarados with great weight.

Although due to the angle, the power of the moon could only hit the less critical back, Gardevoir's terrifying output and solid double restraint still caused Gyarados to let out a shrill roar of pain.

Fortunately, Gyarados's special defense is high enough, otherwise even with an output close to that of a championship-level elf, it would have fallen under the impact of the two moon powers.

Although he didn't fall down at this moment, everyone could see that Gyarados would definitely be unable to withstand one more move.

Of course, the same is true for Gardevoir.

There was no expression on Lurina's beautiful face, but her lips were pursed tightly subconsciously.

It is obviously contrary to human nature to say that she has no regrets at all. At this moment, Lu Lina can only tell herself that she still has the last chance.

"Gyarados, use Storm first, then charge over!"

In order to prevent Xia Chen from deceiving herself with moves like Shadow Clone again, Lurina alertly commanded Gyarados to use Storm.

Although Gyarados's special strategy is to stretch the hips, this storm is not intended to directly end Gardevoir, but to tear apart any shadow illusions that may appear.

Super Gyarados raised its head, took a deep breath of long breath from its wide-open mouth, and then suddenly blew it out.

call--

The violent air flow roared out from the mouth and wreaked havoc in the sky above the venue.

It is conceivable that under the cover of turbulent airflows like sharp blades of air, any afterimage will be extinguished in an instant like a weak candle in the strong wind.

Because there was no pursuit of damage at all, the release speed of this storm was extremely fast, so fast that Gyarados flew out almost simultaneously with the storm, leaning down and rushing towards Gardevoir's direction.

Xia Chen's response to this was just a simple move, "Gardevoir, High Speed ​​Star!"

The tight battle rhythm allowed several moves to be released in a short period of time, including two that teleported Gardevoir and could no longer use moves such as the power of the moon or magic flash.

But this is not critical. In this final period, a high-speed star can end the game.

…………

A string of star-shaped energy light bullets were shot out unpretentiously. The high-speed star, which was supposed to be a normal-type move, contained rich fairy-like energy due to the [Fairy Skin] characteristics changed after Gardevoir's super evolution.

The bright white luster also turned into a dull pink.

The high-speed star with its own "lock" flies towards Gyarados, just like the eternal spear Kungunir in mythology that cannot be avoided after being thrown.

But Gyarados, who knew this, was still flying forward, his stubborn figure like the ridiculous knight Don Quixote who charged towards the windmill until his death.

Don Quixote finally sprinted to the windmill before Kungunil pierced his chest.

The evil energy lingered on the sharp fangs in the mouth, and with the unwillingness and anger before falling, this [bite] pierced Gardevoir's smooth skin.

A beautiful black dress fell from the air. Before falling to the ground, it was illuminated by a red light and was recovered into the ball.

It has been less than five minutes since Xia Chen's last active change of sides, which means that regardless of whether Gardevoir has lost his fighting ability or not, he can no longer play in this game.

At this point, the score was tied at 1:1 by Lulina.

"Gyarados, hold on!"

Lurina tried desperately to block the high-speed star with her defense.

However, it was too late to hold on at this time. In just a short moment, the star-shaped energy bomb hit Gyarados on the head.

boom--

The sound of the energy explosion was not loud, and was even mostly obscured by the sound of rain above the venue.

But this is enough for Gyarados, who is in a state like a candle in the wind.

The dark blue ferocious flying dragon changed back to its original appearance in a burst of faint light. Of course, this was not the result of Lurina's initiative to cancel the super-evolution state, but the automatic cancellation due to the loss of combat ability.

Obviously, this means that Gyarados also loses its ability to fight.

Lurina was still calm at the moment, and she also took out the elf ball to recover the Gyarados that fell from mid-air.

Then, two consecutive whistles came belatedly, announcing that the two elves had lost the ability to fight at the same time.

The score on the court jumped again, with Xia Chen leading 2:1.

The pace of this game is extremely fast, and even now, only three minutes have passed since the opening whistle.

However, Xia Chen already had match point, and his game looked like a crushing game.

But no one in the audience had such an idea, and they all gave Xia Chen and Lu Lina warm applause before they sent out the last elf.

Caidou in the commentary box also gave a very high evaluation of this battle: "From the pre-match preparations to the official battle, both sides have made sufficient preparations. It can be said that the game between trainers is at its peak in this match.

Playing an important role as much as these elves, the reason why Lurina is at a disadvantage at the moment is not because she did not command well enough when facing Gardevoir's clone before. The essence is that there is no countermeasures in the lineup, otherwise she would not

I put all my bets on Super Gyarados."

This evaluation is quite pertinent, because soon, Nian Meilong demonstrated the terrifying power of the [Magic Space] move at such a speed that it took off.

…………

God knows how fast the bucket tip shuttle with the [Free and Easy] feature will be triggered in a favorable wind or rainy weather. Nian Meilong almost didn’t let the audience see her face after she came on stage - there were only afterimages on the battlefield.

!

However, the bucket-pointed shuttle, which is already known for its high speed and high attack, can only swim slowly in the water bubbles formed by energy.

And the bucket-pointed shuttle, which has lost its great weapon of speed, faces the sticky dragon, which is as hard as a steel plate. It seems unnecessary to say what the consequences will be.

Even if it is strengthened by Tai Jing Shui, it cannot pose the slightest threat to Tai Jing Fei's Sticky Dragon.

Effortlessly, Nian Meilong defeated the bucket tip shuttle with a few thunders, ending the game.

At this point, Xia Chen defeated Lu Lina with a score of 3:1, winning the first victory in the group stage and firmly controlling the qualifying situation.

Although the Galarian audience in the stands felt a little sorry for Lurina's failure, they did not hesitate to give their applause to Xia Chen who won the game beautifully.

As usual, Xia Chen took back the Nian Meilong and walked to the center of the battlefield to shake hands with the loser Lu Lina.
