At fifteen:44 pm.

The flowing magma became more and more surging, adhering to the glass walls in the direction of the river, penetrating red light into it.

...

The countdown, which is as bright as the magma, is still beating. The passage of time has not brought the opportunity to win, on the contrary—

For young people who are in desperate situations, it is just a countdown to death.

The laser beam attack continued, leaving trainers almost unable to find time to breathe; below, the duck-billed fire beasts that harnessed the magma also exerted their amazing power.

The blazing fire was spit out from the mouth of the duckbill. Squirting smoke is the best move for the duckbill fire beasts living in the craters. Even the fire dinosaurs, which are also fire Pokémon, cannot withstand such high temperatures. The fire dinosaurs, which are much smaller than the enemy, are clever and cleverly circulate between the two duckbill fire beasts with their speed to capture the opportunity to attack.

——It was planned so.

As the "faithful servant of the lava lord", the strength of the duck-billed fire beast is far from comparable to that of ordinary Pokémon. The fire dinosaur chose no mistakes in fighting style, but the gap in hard power still put it in a precarious situation.

The long-range combat capability is inferior to that of the opponent, and the melee combat is completely unbearable. The temperature of the magma has become the strongest weapon of the duck-billed fire beast. The flames wrapped around the body dance with the fists, leaving hideous burn marks on the body of the fire dinosaur.

Like a magma monster, the duck-billed fire beast swung its fist vigorously. After the dull impact, the fire dinosaur staggered back, but did not dare to stay where it was rubbed and rubbed its painful arms. He quickly ran to avoid the next smoke attack.

Under the double pressure of flames and fists, the fire dinosaur is not just fighting, but more like running away in a mess. Even so, in just a few minutes, it already felt like it could not hold on.

It is too difficult to fight two powerful enemies alone. Moreover, in the air, trainers who must always pay attention to the movement of the laser beam are difficult to give instructions to it in time - it rarely faces a situation of "fighting alone".

Xiaojie, who reacted the fastest, has released the Daidai Beast to assist the fire dinosaurs against the enemy. Daidai Beast, who is lying on the back of the desert dragonfly, looks for any gaps to interfere with, and uses his best super-powered moves to interfere with the actions of the Duck-billed Fire Beast.

But this cannot shake the situation.

The ground covered with magma is too dangerous for Daidai Beasts, and it is only a way to die if you go down. However, if you stay on the back of a desert dragonfly, the unstable assistance that sometimes does not exist is not enough to help your teammates.

"Flying Mantis."

The temporary team leader Xiaotian immediately issued an instruction. The flying mantis jumped down knowingly and joined the battle situation of the fire dinosaurs.

If the fire dinosaur is defeated, the attack of the duckbill Beast will definitely be aimed at the four trainers in the sky. Just Apelo Kanti's laser attack like teasing mice is tricky enough. In addition, if the duckbill Beast, the countdown will not end, and several people will definitely be buried in the fire.

The green insect Pokémon waved his sickle, and the sharp wind broke through the flames and flew into the air.

The flying mantis in the insect system should have been most afraid of fire attacks, but Xiaotian's instructions were really abnormal - he did not join the fire-type fire dragon, but chose the flying mantis that was not resistant to fire attacks.

However, when Xiaotian's instructions were exited, Xiaoye understood Xiaotian's intention.

——Xiao Ye has no amnesia, so how could he forget the tactics he had worked hard a few days ago?

The flying mantis flapped his wings and flew fast, and the fire dinosaur also ran with it. When the altitudes of both sides finally merged into the same horizontal line, Xiaoye and Xiaotian issued instructions at the same time.

"Spiral cross!"

The fire dinosaurs and the flying mantis took the same dance steps. Their figures intersected and separated, rotating and roaring, making the sound of wind, as dazzling as two dripping gyros.

Their pace is very fast, and it even reflects afterimages in the naked eye. But this has no effect on their dance—the rising wind stirs the airflow and turns into the power of the dancer.

Sword dance.

This is a new move specially learned for this tactic during the few days of team combat training. It creates a sense of chaos for the enemy with high speed and constantly changing formations, and at the same time increases the attack power under the action of sword dance, so as to constantly approach the enemy - "spiral cross". This is one of the basic tactics of "Introduction to Team Combat" and is suitable for plural Pokémon that are longer than speed.

If it is in a formal team battle, such tactics are too immature, but the situation is different. The duck-billed fire beast is indeed powerful, and the laser beam is indeed aggressive, but-

Apelo Kandy is not a Pokémon trainer.

As a researcher, he does not have the ability to give instructions to the duckbill beast. "Tactics" itself is the crystallization of human wisdom, and even the most basic tactics are rarely cracked by Pokémon on its own.

The red of the flames and the silver of the sickle were intertwined, and a chaotic web of light was cast in the pupils of the two duck-billed fire beasts. They spewed out the flames filled with smoke, but flowed silently from the middle of the grid, without stopping each other's footsteps at all.

Flame fist, secretly attacks the key points, and jointly attacks. The target is - the enemy on the left.

The duck-billed fire beast felt the pain immediately raged in anger, but the attacker retreated faster. A second dance followed, dispersing the flames, followed by a second, third, more intense attack. Its companions had no time to rescue and could not rescue - because they could not capture the enemy's movement trajectory.

When the tall duck-billed fire beast fell down with surprise, the fire dinosaur waved its claws excitedly.

It knew that its strength was insufficient, so it spent twice or even three times hard, trying hard to catch up with its comrades. It was so unwilling to be annoyed when it was beaten by the duckbills. Now, this emotion has all turned into the power to defeat the enemy.

The efforts were not in vain, and finally... came in handy!

The fire dinosaur turned his head excitedly to look at the flying mantis. Then, its smile solidified on its face.

In the scarlet flames, the flying mantis fighting side by side fell silently to the ground. Large pieces of charred black were printed on its back, swallowing the fragile body of the Pokémon.

The fire dinosaurs in the fire system felt for the first time what "cold all over".

Its brain was blank. Time passed slowly, and only the figure of the flying mantis was seriously injured and miserable. The previous smile had not even been removed. Behind the flying mantis, the third duck-billed fire beast that appeared at some point, grinning, with a contemptuous look full of disdain and mockery of the fire dinosaurs.

"flutter."

The sound of the flying mantis falling to the ground recalled the will of the fire dinosaur.

It looked around.

The fallen duckbill fire beast was thrown aside from a distance, and two other magma monsters approached step by step.

It looked up again at the sky.

The dancing laser beam still threatened the lives of trainers. It saw that many scars had appeared on the body of the flying Pokémon, and even the material on its owner's elbow was burned by the laser, and bright red blood was oozing out.

Finally came in handy?

However, the thought that had just arisen was immediately shattered. It could not do anything, and could only watch the comrades fall down and the trainer was injured - will it be easily stepped on by the enemy afterwards?

The fire dinosaur's heart was first questioned about its own value.

At this moment, its senses became extremely sensitive. It heard the rushing shouts of trainers over the sky, and the flapping of wings that tried to approach but failed. There were also the sound of magma flowing, the heavy footsteps of the duck-billed fire beasts, the crazy laughter of Apelo Kandy, and the sound of his own heartbeat.

Its thinking is always straightforward, and now it is no exception.

Don't want to lose.

I don't want my comrades to be in vain.

It wants to catch up with everyone and come in handy.

It wants to protect everyone, protect its friends, and protect its trainer. However, it cannot do it now.

So--

There is only one thing to do.

The fire dinosaur held the gray round stone on his chest.

When the flying mantis fell, Xiaoye and the other two realized that the situation was not good.

The Daidai Beast and Fairy Ibrahimovic in the sky tried their best to attack, but they still failed to cause any trouble to the duckbill fire beasts. When Xiaoye planned to take high-risk measures like "his own battle", she saw the actions of the fire dinosaurs.

"stop!"

Almost without thinking, she shouted this sentence.

I don’t know if the words came too suddenly, or the tone contained in it was too rapid and too "unlike Xiaoye", the other three were stunned.

Without thinking, Xiaoye can understand what the fire dinosaur is thinking. It is Xiaoye's first Pokémon companion, and its thoughts and temperament are something Xiaoye can't understand. Xiaoye knows that it wants to sacrifice his life and give it a try.

Despite being in a river filled with magma and despite the air being filled with fire energy, without the judgment of professionals, Xiaoye still cannot be sure that such an environment can support the evolution of fire dinosaurs. Once it fails, it is death - such a cruel fact makes Xiaoye's first reaction to "stop".

Xiaoye doesn't want to lose his original partner.

After hearing Xiaoye's voice, the fire dinosaur raised his head.

The sky blue eyes seemed to be shining. It was indeed unwilling to accept it, regret, anger, sadness, and self-blame, but at this time, the pure and unyielding will be written in the eyes of the red dragon.

"I want to do this" - Xiaoye heard the fire dinosaur say this.

The eyes of human trainers and the Fire Pokémon intersected in the air. It seemed like a long time had passed, but in fact, time only flowed for a few seconds.

Xiaoye regained his relaxed strength and clenched Bibi's legs again.

“Evolution.”

The windscreen blocked Xiaoye's expression, and the sound of the laser blasting filtered out Xiaoye's tone. But indeed, this sentence was heard into the ears of the fire dinosaur.

"Fire Dinosaurs, evolve. As you would expect."

Xiaoye knew that she could no longer stop the fire dinosaur and was not qualified to stop it.

The fire dinosaur has the right to decide on its own life. Even if Saya is its trainer, it will never be able to forcefully change its will and should not forcibly stop its behavior. This is the most basic respect the trainer has for Pokémon partners. In the eyes of the fire dinosaur, Saya reads the partner's most persistent will.

So, she could no longer deny its choice.

The fire dinosaur blinked, raised his head under the baptism of the duck-billed fire beasts, and once again showed its bright and energetic smile.

The arm stopped trembling. It made its most deafening roar in its life, pulling off the unchanging stone in its chest and throwing it into the magma without any nostalgia with fear.

Could it be...

When the unchanging stone flew high, the silver-haired young leader understood something hazy. In shock, he looked back at Xiaoye subconsciously, but still couldn't catch any expression on the other person's face - as if someone else was obviously anxious in his previous words.
