Chapter 486: How come there are mythical beasts awakening wherever I go? (5k)
(Monday is a little busy, hot hands will break out tomorrow)
At this point, all the top four contestants of this World Gym Leader Competition have been announced.
There are only the last two rounds left in the competition. The final champion will be competed by Sakaki and Xia Chen in the first half of the competition, and Chibana and Liu Bo in the second half of the competition.
Among the top four players, two are from Kanto, one is from Donghuang, and the last one is from the host country Galar.
As of now, the one that can afford the strongest region should undoubtedly be Kanto.
Looking at it this way, Xia Chen's elimination process, which defeated Na Zi and Xiao Chun along the way, is also quite valuable.
There is one day between the semi-finals and the semi-finals, mainly to allow the players and their elves who have passed all the way to get enough rest.
After all, reality is not like a game. Just send it to the elf center and "ding~" it, just like heating food in a microwave...
Xia Chen's elves are okay, because he hasn't had a game where the oil lamp ran out.
In addition, based on the principle of equal exposure to rain and dew, he also consciously let the elves take turns to be the main force, so the day before the semi-finals started, the elves were in perfect condition.
However, Gu Ledun's behavior in the past two days was a bit abnormal. He often lay on the window sill and looked out thoughtfully, which made Xia Chen feel worried for no reason.
"Are you still worried about that?"
After dinner, Xia Chen paid close attention to the physical and mental health of his elf.
"It's not a question of whether to worry or not."
Therefore, Luton's expression was rare and solemn.
"That aura has slowly begun to leak out, which means that the existence may be waking up, but there is something strange..."
Wake up... Xia Chen's eyes darkened after he grasped the key words.
How come there are mythical beasts awakening wherever I go?
Is it possible that he still possesses the attributes of "Conan"?
"So, where is the strange thing?"
Xia Chen decided to find out the whole story before deciding whether to run away.
Therefore, Leden replied: "Generally speaking, waking up from an unconscious state will only take a few minutes, but the uniformity of the breath is a little too strange, as if... someone is deliberately controlling some kind of energy.
The efflux and suppression of the recovery time are the same.”
Xia Chen immediately understood what Gu Ledun meant and frowned.
"You mean...someone is up to something?"
Therefore, Leden nodded noncommittally, "We cannot rule out the occurrence of this situation."
Xia Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Although it is not the first time that he has encountered the legendary elf awakening incident, it is the first time for human intervention——
Not counting those idiots from Hoenn's Lava Team and Ocean Team, both idiots would wake up if he didn't.
But this time it was different. If it hadn't been for Gu Lerton's reminder, I wouldn't have been able to react at all.
Those people hiding in the shadows here are more cautious and more terrifying than their Red Flame Pines and Water Sycamores!
Xia Chen carefully studied Gu Ledun's words, and suddenly thought of a possibility.
"You said they were suppressing it...are they trying to delay the elf's awakening until after the finals?"
Therefore, Luton curled his lips and said, "You humans are so evil, how could I know?"
Xia Chen ignored the strange aura of the big lizard and analyzed to himself: "It is very likely that if that existence wakes up, the top trainers here will not sit idly by and it may have an impact on their plans, but why
We have to implement the plan after the competition..."
…………
"Buy? (Maybe it's not that they want it, but that they can't control that guy's awakening?)"
The appearance of a certain cute voice made Xia Chen realize something.
Lowering his head, the sound indeed came from Senbu who ran over at some unknown time.
Xia Chen knew that this partner who had been mysterious since they met must know something, so he asked concisely and concisely: "Elaborate."
Xianbu scratched his head with silk, looking a little embarrassed.
"Buyi...(It's just...Oh, I don't know how to say it, I just guessed...)"
She didn't mean to be the Riddler, but Bad Butterfly's wings were flapping too much, and the trajectory of this timeline had deviated too far from her previous life.
For example, the awakening of Wuji Tai mentioned by Gu Lerton was something that would only happen in five years in her mind.
And because the power of Wuji Tai was too strong, the consequences and impact of that incident were the greatest among all the legendary elves awakening.
Quanguan City, and even the entire central Galar region around Quanguan City, suffered a devastating blow. The number of deaths and elves alone could reach five figures, and there were countless injuries or property losses.
This happened despite the frequent activities of the legendary elves and the major alliances in the world having taken sufficient preventive measures.
The terror of Wuji Tai Na's power can be seen in general.
That is to say, the sword hero Cang Xiang and her brother the shield hero Zangran Mart appeared in time, and with the help of a group of top trainers, they barely defeated it and sealed it again.
The initiator of everything is the most powerful and wealthy man in the entire Galar region, Alliance President Roz.
Because it was observed that the energy in Galar will be exhausted within a thousand years, he awakened the Infinite Dana that almost destroyed the Galar region thousands of years ago. This kind of thing can only be done by Roz who is extremely confident and ambitious.
Only this guy could do it.
But in the end, like the ending of all previous careerists, all the preparations Roz made for this and all the black technologies he invented were as ridiculous as toys in front of the absolute power of Wuji Tai Na.
But those who paid the price for this were countless innocent people and elves in the Galar region.
…………
After withdrawing his thoughts, Xianbu decided to give Xia Chen a hint, "Buyi! (You ask Rotom to check the specific information of the energy plant!)"
Xia Chen nodded obediently, then called out his Rotom phone and followed suit.
Soon, information about this energy factory affiliated to the Macromon Group appeared on the Kodak Encyclopedia.
"The Macromon Energy Factory is the largest energy factory in the Galar region and the energy center of Lotto~"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Energy pipeline routes are denser than railway lines and can lead to all towns in the Galar region, Lotto~"
"The factory belongs to the Marco Lomon Group. The president is Roz, the president of the Galar Alliance. The person in charge of the specific affairs of the energy factory is Vice President Olivia Lotto~"
"..."
The more Xia Chen heard, the more frightened he became. The boss behind the villain organization in the Galar region...couldn't it be the president Roz himself?
If someone under him did something bad, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted to cover it up?
No wonder the security in the entire Galar region is relatively good compared to other regions, and the biggest protector of emotions is the alliance president!
And according to what Gullerton said, a certain group is consciously releasing energy evenly to delay the awakening time... Only Roz does this kind of thing in his own energy factory most seamlessly.
Xia Chen pondered for a long time and suddenly asked: "If someone is causing trouble, can we prevent the elf from awakening if we deal with them?"
Therefore, Leton was speechless at Xia Chen's naive idea, "Are they suppressing the awakening now? Interrupting the process of releasing energy will only further speed up the awakening!"
Xia Chen rubbed his hair irritably. Could it be that the best choice now is to let Roz release his energy and awaken the mysterious third god of Galar?
When I was worried, a piece of silk satin was gently draped over me.
"Bu Yi——(It doesn't matter, you don't need to take on this kind of thing alone, you still have us.)"
Xianbu's comforting words gave Xia Chen a flash of inspiration. Mikri, Qianli and the others...shouldn't have left Galar at this moment, right?
——————
April 2nd, Quanguan Arena.
The World Gym Leader Competition, which lasted for more than half a month, finally ushered in the penultimate round of semi-finals.
The first game in the morning was the semi-finals of the first half of the division, Sakaki VS Xia Chen.
One is the defending champion who has swept the entire competition, and the other is a rising star who is a dark horse. This exciting game has attracted hundreds of millions of viewers before it even begins.
Judging from most of the barrage reviews, Xia Chen has an absolute advantage in terms of support rate.
But when you look at the off-site elf battle betting odds, you will find that the odds of winning if you buy Xia Chen are 1:3.5.
The odds are not particularly exaggerated, but they still show that people are extremely optimistic about Sakaki——
Support with money is more convincing than support with words.
But in every game Xia Chen played, the odds before the game were almost the same. There were already many die-hard fans of Xia Chen who bought him a villa near the sea through stud.
At first, many people laughed at these people for not understanding elf battles.
But the response of the Cuckoo Pigeons was, "You may know more about elf battles than I do, but you definitely don't know Xia Chen as well as I do!"
Facts have proved that those who were ridiculed for not understanding the battle between elves became the biggest winners among the melon-eating crowd in this competition.
Many vicious dogs were itching to bet on Xia Chen before this game.
However, these off-field factors will not affect the two people on the battlefield after all.
Xia Chen didn't know if Sakaki would let go, but he certainly wouldn't let go. For this reason, he even replaced one of the elves with Guluton.
If there is anyone in the world who is most likely to conquer the legendary elves, Xia Chen believes it must be Sakaki.
Even if he pulled out a Flame Bird or even an elf of the level of Mewtwo during the battle, Xia Chen wouldn't be surprised at all.
Based on this perspective, Xia Chen brought Gu Ledun with him.
He didn't want to miss the precious opportunity to fight against the legendary elves.
If Sakaki hadn't brought it, or really refused, Xia Chen would have had no choice but to win the victory with tears in his eyes.
He has no resistance to using the power of Guluton. He can conquer the legendary elves and use them for his own use. Isn't that his own ability?
…………
The time came to nine o'clock in the morning amid the never-ending excitement of the audience.
Under the passionate shouts of the host, Sakaki and Xia Chen walked out of the contestants' tunnel respectively.
Sakaki's age is forty-six, but he doesn't look like he's half a century old at all.
The bulging muscles wrapped in a well-fitting suit, and the cold and gloomy temperament hidden in his composure made him look like an elite young man under forty.
No one could have imagined that such a man would be the dark emperor who controls the wind and rain in the underground world of Kanto City.
Xia Chen didn't dare to reveal his surprise or anything else in his eyes, which was easy for a superpower to control.
Sakaki smiled at Xia Chen, looking quite kind.
The two of them had no further communication and waited for the game to begin.
After a while, the audience gradually became quiet, and the referee riding a sword monster blew a whistle, announcing that the game had officially begun.
Xia Chen and Sakaki moved at the same time, throwing the elf ball they had held in their hands earlier, white light flashed, and the elf on both sides appeared.
One is Nidoking, who is nearly three meters tall, covered in bright purple toxins, and is almost twice the size of an ordinary individual.
On the other side, there is Menas, who is curled up on the ground with his head held high. No matter how many times he looks at it, Menas will always be amazed.
The two have almost the same positioning in Xia Chen and Sakaki's respective lineups. They are not aces, but they are both absolute main players second only to the ace.
At least that's the case for Xia Chen. It's unclear whether Sakaki has any hidden strength.
"Nidoking, invisible rock!"
Sakaki, who is good at layout, did not choose to launch a strong attack at the beginning, but calmly commanded in a deep voice to release the invisible rock first.
The reason for not using Poison Caltrop, which Nidoking is better at, is also very simple. The two steel-type elves, Nian Meilong and Sai Fuhao, are completely immune to poison-type moves, so it would be a waste of time to use them.
Xia Chen raised his eyebrows, isn't this allowing Menas to strengthen?
Without being polite to Sakaki, he immediately commanded: "Menas, Butterfly Dance!"
Although judging from the previous games, Nidoking takes a physical attack route, the special attack and speed bonus alone are enough to make this butterfly dance worth the price of admission.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Nido——"
The monster-like Nidoking raised his head and howled wildly. Dark yellow rock energy gathered in his bloody mouth. Just between sucking and spitting out, countless sharp stones were spit out, evenly and densely distributed on the opponent.
on the battlefield, and then disappeared silently into the air.
…………
On the other side, Menas also followed closely and completed the butterfly dance without being slowed down by Nidoking.
A trace of surprise flashed in Sakaki's eyes.
This is not an easy thing to do. The energy intensity gap between the two is not small. In theory, the same is true for the energy flow speed.
What he didn't know was that Menas could barely keep up because of the achievement talent given by the system a long time ago.
However, the Xia Chen elf's special talent has been displayed more than once or twice. Sakaki put away his surprise and calmly responded: "Nido King, go straight to the drill!"
"Nido!"
Nidoking's feet sank, and the entire battlefield shook like an earthquake, and then...
Boom——
The deafening sound made it difficult to imagine that it was the sound of an elf exploding into action. The ground beneath Nidoking's huge feet collapsed into a pair of holes that were large enough for Magikarp to swim in.
He strode forward. Although his speed didn't seem to be fast at all, because of his huge size, every step he took made him close the distance with Menas with great efficiency.
At the same time, streams of abundant earth-colored energy converged on the slender, sharp purple point above the head, and countless amounts of ground-based energy quickly rotated around the sharp point as the center of the circle.
Drill straight!
The high-speed rotating drill seemed to have some magical traction force, causing the already fast Nidoking to surge again.
Seeing that the distance between the two was only one sprint, Menas, who completed the butterfly dance with a slow step, instantly jumped into the air. Although it was only less than ten meters high, it became a Ni without the ability to fly.
An insurmountable chasm for many kings.
He stared at Menas in disbelief with his eyes wide open, as if he was seeing a flying Groudon...
No... no one has wings, how can you fly?
Not only the victim Nidoking, but all the viewers who saw this scene were shocked.
This was the first time they saw the flying Menas, and they didn't see Xia Chen use the Taijing attribute to help him turn into a Taijing fly!
Although Minus played several games after learning to fly with Rayquaza, he has never revealed that he can fly - it's not that he deliberately concealed it, it's mainly because it's unnecessary.
Menas can defeat his opponent without flying.
Today, when faced with Sakaki's oppressive Nidoking, Menas had to use his flying ability to avoid this direct drill.
…………
Sakaki was indeed Sakaki. Although he was Xia Chen's opponent, he was the first to react.
He shouted in a deep voice: "Nidoking, use sharp rocks to attack!"
Sharp stone attack?
Xia Chen frowned slightly. Isn't this kind of move just a matter of Menas flying higher?
Is Sakaki looking down on himself and Menas?
He felt something was wrong in his heart, but for a while he didn't know what Sakaki's true purpose was.
I had no choice but to command according to the established plan: "Fly a little higher, or jump into the abyss!"
"Fuwu~"
Soaring in mid-air in the form of a divine dragon, Menas once again increased the distance, not too high. Too high would give Nidoking enough time to react.
The water vapor surged and a light mist filled the air. Menas calmed down and began to prepare for this move that countless water-based trainers dreamed of.
At the same time, Nidoking under him also paused, and the energy in his body quickly condensed, and soon.
Bang——
With a loud explosion, the ground exploded, and a crystal blue stalagmite, almost thicker than Nidoking, rose up from the ground and thrust diagonally towards Menas, which was more than ten meters above the ground.
Just as Xia Chen expected, the stone pillar could not reach the position of Menas just by simply rising a little further.
But the more this happened, the uneasiness in Xia Chen's heart became stronger. But at this time, Menas had already begun to gather momentum, and he fired the bow without turning back, so he had no choice but to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.
And the next second, a sudden change occurred.
But on the battlefield, Nidoking suddenly jumped high towards the stalagmites, stretched out his sharp claws, inserted them firmly into the stone pillars, hung on the sharp rocks in a rock-climbing posture, and then jumped up and climbed up.
.
On the sharp corner of the head, a dangerous earth-yellow aura emerged from nowhere!
Xia Chen suddenly understood the meaning of this seemingly useless sharp stone attack——
He wants Nidoking to use this sharp stone as a stepping stone to charge straight up and attack Menas!
Such an unconstrained attack style is worthy of Sakaki...
Xia Chen felt a little emotional.
But there wasn't much time left for him to sigh at the moment.
