The end of May is the hottest period in the Alola region, but the residents of Hauola City are not affected by the scorching heat at all, and they are constantly coming and going in this newly built arena that uses the ultimate world technology.
At this moment, in this venue known as the [Future Elf Battlefield], a semi-final of the [Ten Masters Tournament], which was just expanded from the [Eight Masters Tournament], is taking place.
Just from the dense crowds gathered outside the Ultimate Arena to watch the big screen, you can see how attractive this game is.
The advancement of technology has brought a different kind of viewing experience. What is locked on the big screen at this moment is the first-person perspective of one of the extremely popular elves, Dandi's super giant fire-breathing dragon.
After Gigantamaxing, Charizard, who was as big as a small mountain, looked down. From the perspective of Charizard, the several huge stones on the battlefield were no different from small pebbles.
The fire-breathing dragon's eyes were firmly fixed on the ghostly figure flashing through the field.
Then, its highly bulging belly swelled again, and the terrifying flames contained enough to melt the hardest metal in the world spurted out in a swirling shape, rushing toward the landing point of the trajectory at extremely high speeds.
"Super Giant Hell Flame Extinguisher! As expected, facing the desperate situation of being three points behind, the Alchemy Champion still let the Super Giant Charizard use its exclusive giant move. Xia Chen's Dragon Baruto just fought with
The battle with the Shield Sword Monster consumes a lot of money, so if this Hell Flame Extinguisher hits, the chance is not small!"
The passionate commentary was not prominent in the auditorium of the arena, because the explosion of flames caused by the super giant hell's flame extinguishing was too loud.
If it weren't for a sound-insulating energy barrier, the huge roar might have overturned the auditorium.
This is the match point battle of the second semi-final of the Ten Masters Tournament. The champion Dan Di from the Galar region faces Xia Chen, the Yuanling Gym Leader from the Donghuang region.
The bright or dark elf heads on the big screen showed the score at the moment, Xia Chen 5:2 Dan Di.
This means that if Dandi wants to enter the finals again to avenge Sirona, he must complete the feat of Charizard penetrating four.
And even the Galarians, who were proud of their own championship, had no hope for this almost crazy outcome that could hardly be called a possibility.
Even though Xia Chen signed up for the Ten Masters Tournament, there was no legendary elf except Zeraora.
More than half a year has passed since the world-destroying war caused by dark matter. Many videos of the legendary elven war have also been made public after some processing.
Only then did people realize that without the knowledge of most people, the world had experienced an unprecedented horrific catastrophe that almost led to destruction.
However, after a brief period of lingering fear, the melon-eating crowd began to talk about this unprecedented "War of the Gods" that would never be seen again.
The much-loved Gugai battle is the most interesting part of this video, and almost no one pays attention to it. What attracts more attention is the battle between the three dragons of Sinnoh, Gullton, King Lei Guan, and Wujitina, as well as the main battlefield.
Xia Chen and Hezhong Shuanglong deal with the liberation of Hu Pa.
It was only after seeing that so-called "ordinary elves" such as Xianbu, Menas, and Gardevoir could perform in a battle of this level that people understood how powerful Xia Chen was now.
Of course, after the Donghuang champion Gu Kunshan announced that he would pass the spot for the Donghuang Regional Ten Masters Tournament to Xia Chen, he suddenly became the most popular to win this tournament.
What did not disappoint the audience was that Xia Chen, who defeated Yulongdu and Kaluni in the round robin, and successfully defeated Cattleya in the knockout round, was only two games away from completing the most valuable competition in the world.
Win the championship and create history in the Donghuang region.
At present, only two elves, Gardevoir and Sai Fuhao, were defeated, and five powerful elves including Dandi, Dragon Baruto, Shield Sword Monster and Flaming Ace were defeated.
All Xia Chen needed to do was to steadily defeat Alchemy Emperor's last remaining fire-breathing dragon.
…………
This is not a difficult task, and the fourth elf does not even need to appear. Doron Baruto, who is already in a state of "candle in the wind" in the eyes of the audience, begins to exert his strength.
"Oh, the stealth surprise attack from Dragon Baruto! The super giant hell flame extinguisher with a very wide coverage area failed! Unbelievable!"
An exclamation came from the commentator.
You must know that Doron Baruto was still using dragon arrows a second ago, which is why Dan Emperor dared to directly let the fire-breathing dragon throw out the hell to extinguish the flames.
But in this case, Doron Baruto just took back the two small Dorons in a very short period of time, and then escaped into nothingness, and the super giant hell flame extinguishing with a loud explosion was in vain.
Although this move has the effect of continuously burning the elves on the field, the most critical instant damage is missed, and the more cumbersome follow-up burning is even less likely to pose much of a threat to the agile Dragon Baruto.
Emperor Dan's eyes darkened, knowing that the last chance was only when Duolong emerged from the shadows and launched a counterattack.
Whether it can be grasped depends on Charizard's ability to seize opportunities.
As for whether Charizard is aware of this, having been with him for more than twenty years, he has no doubt that his old friend has such a judgment.
Didn't Emperor Dan's dominance of the Galar region for nearly ten years depend on the tacit understanding between trainers and elves at critical moments?
Charizard's performance did not disappoint him. The failure of the Super Giant Hellfire made this big guy obviously feel "upset".
Hidden under the frizzy movements is its calm and composed super heart, waiting for the perfect opportunity.
Perhaps from God's perspective, this is a trap deliberately set by the fire-breathing dragon to invite the "dragon" into the urn.
But in a battlefield where the situation is changing rapidly every second and opportunities are fleeting, no one can think about so much.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The moment the fire-breathing dragon showed its flaw, a burst of energy surged in the air, a crack in the void suddenly opened, and a ghostly figure suddenly sprang out of it.
"Now, the flames of the super giant hell will be extinguished!"
Following Dan Emperor's decisive command, the super giant fire-breathing dragon's eyes suddenly became clear, and the huge energy contained in it turned into a terrifying anger that spewed out, covering an area in front of it.
"Hit! Charizard is still better in the game with Doron Baruto. Doron in this state may have a hard time surviving the super giant move... Wait!"
The commentator's impassioned words suddenly paused, and then he exclaimed in disbelief: "The one that was hit was not the body of Baluto, the dragon, but the little dragon that came out to explore the way. Was this what player Xia Chen expected?"
On the battlefield, the blazing flames like the karma fire of hell continued to burn, but what was clearly visible was that the one who fell was not the dragon Baluto, but the figure of a much smaller little dragon.
"Read it through! Doron Baluto did not step into the trap designed by Dan Emperor and Charizard, but took advantage of the trap. It is obvious that the figure that just flashed through the void was constructed by Xiao Doron with energy.
phantom!"
Through slow playback, the explanation made it clear what happened at that moment.
In the end, Doron Baruto won this pinnacle game in milliseconds.
After the third super giant move was released, the fire-breathing dragon began to collapse and shrink after exhausting its giant energy, just as Alchemy Emperor hoped for a final comeback.
There is no doubt that Charizard, who was unable to kill the multi-dragon Baruto within the Gigantamax time, finally fell to the combined attack of two multi-dragons, one large and one small.
When this sturdy orange figure fell down with unwillingness, the audience in the arena burst into warm applause.
For Xia Chen, the winner, and for Dan Di, who jointly contributed to a wonderful game.
…………
On the battlefield, the two men who recovered Charizard and Dragon Baruto respectively walked to the center of the ruined and messy field, shook hands and hugged.
"Congratulations, this day has come earlier than I thought."
Emperor Dan smiled heartily and patted Xia Chen on the shoulder.
The two of them met not too early, and they only had their first performance of the Dynamax Battle two years ago.
At that time, Emperor Dan was already the world-famous Champion of Galar, and Xia Chen was the leader of the younger generation.
The latter's victory over the former is inconceivable in the eyes of many people, and some people only think that Dan Emperor's negligence is a bit serious.
But now, the result of this game is completely taken for granted in the hearts of the audience, and this is not even the strongest lineup Xia Chen can come up with.
Putting away his slightly dazed expression, Emperor Dan sighed: "Your time has come."
Xia Chen smiled back and said sincerely: "The golden generation you created has never passed."
Dandi, Sirona, Cattleya, Du, Karuni...
These elites, who represent the pinnacle level of each region, are Xia Chen's purest impressions of the group of trainers in his past and present lives.
Without them, the entire elf world would be in disgrace.
After hugging each other without any pretense, the two walked side by side down the field to the post-match interview area.
Hundreds of news media people from various regions who had been waiting for a long time saw Dan Di and Xia Chen walking together talking and laughing. They stopped chatting one after another, raised their cameras and flashed wildly.
What followed was a cacophony of questions.
"Champion Dan Emperor, what do you want to say about the semi-finals of this year's Ten Masters Tournament?"
"The Dan Emperor champion and the former United Champion Adek said before the game [Xia Chen is already a trainer from another planet and should be banned from participating in the elf competition on Earth]. How do you evaluate this?"
"Master Xia Chen, you entered the finals of the Ten Masters Tournament for the first time. Do you have anything to say?"
"Master Xia Chen, are you confident that you can win the showdown with the Sirona champion in three days?"
"Champion of the Alchemy Emperor, Master Xia Chen, who do you think is the strongest trainer in the world?"
"..."
The constant noise made Xia Chen suspect that he was among a large group of poisonous skeleton frogs.
It’s not like he’s never done post-game interviews before, but this is the first time he’s seen such a crazy and intense one.
Emperor Dan, who was used to seeing big scenes, didn't panic. He smiled at Xia Chen and took the reporters' questions.
"Frankly speaking, I have some regrets about not entering the finals, but I am more happy. The regret lies in losing the opportunity to revenge Sirona, and the happiness lies in..."
Dandi patted Xia Chen on the shoulder beside him and said: "Many people used to think that the level of our trainers was inferior to each other. They still regard my teacher, the legendary Ma Shide, as the pinnacle of trainers, but like Xia Chen
, trainers like Daigo appear one after another, making everyone believe that battle tactics are being updated and iterated, and trainers are making progress all the time."
"As for Adek's evaluation of Xia Chen..."
Dan Di smiled and said, "I partially agree that Xia Chen is indeed a trainer at another level, but I don't agree to ban him from participating in the competition. Otherwise, how can I improve in the future?"
"..."
Dandi responded to the reporters' questions one by one in a calm and steady manner with high emotional intelligence. Xia Chen also picked some questions that he could answer, basically maintaining a humble attitude of respect for the seniors.
After a while, the interview time ended, and he and Dan Di left the arena under the flashing spotlights.
…………
If Hau'ole City more than a year ago was at best a tourist city with beautiful scenery, then now it is a prosperous city comparable to major cities such as Feiyun City and Miare City.
Skyscrapers that are somewhat incompatible with the seaside scenery rise one after another, and are lined up in the center of Alola with the Ultimate Arena as the center.
The reason for such a big change naturally comes from the opening of the Ultimate Cave.
After the dark matter completely dissipated into nothingness, the crisis in the ultimate world was resolved.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Since then, the two worlds that have experienced the catastrophe of the world have established a stable two-way channel, and the medium is where the ultimate hole is located
The Alola region.
Alola's largest city, Hau'ola, was able to develop rapidly again.
When Xia Chen came to participate in the Ten Masters Tournament this time, he did not stay at the Alola Elf School where he had stayed for a while. Instead, he stayed at the residence of his "loved disciple" Lillie.
Lillie, who inherited most of the Ether Foundation's property, is now a truly wealthy woman. Although she has lost control of Ether Paradise, there are many big houses in Hauale City, which can fully satisfy Xia Chen's "big family".
” short-term residential needs.
"I'm back!"
Xia Chen's first words after coming back were a little faint in the huge luxury manor, but it was mainly just a formality, and those guys who stayed at home after he came back could sense it.
"Need... help?"
The one who came to greet him the most actively was Deoxys, who suddenly appeared in front of Xia Chen like he was teleporting out of nowhere.
Although there is no facial expression that can be seen from the unchanged face, you can still feel its positivity from the movements.
"Well, please help them heal, Deoxys."
Xia Chen reached out and touched the head that it came towards. Then he released the elves from the elf ball, including Doron Baruto, Sai Fuhao and Zoroark, who were injured in this game, and gave them to Deo.
Chisis Healing.
Seeing it focus on releasing healing waves, Xia Chen couldn't help but have a soft look in his eyes.
In fact, three months ago, Xia Chen found another imprisoned Deoxys during Team Rocket's extermination operation, and finally fulfilled the promise he made a few years ago to help it find its companions.
Xia Chen originally thought that Deoxys, who had recovered his strength and found a companion, would bid farewell to the earth and return to their mysterious universe and starry sky just like in the animation.
But in the end it said goodbye to its companions and chose to stay.
Xia Chen asked it why, and its answer was only a few words - "This period of time is more meaningful."
Just think about it, an elf born from a meteorite in the universe has been wandering in the lonely and desolate starry sky for who knows how many years. After coming to the earth, he met Xia Chen and other elves, and then he was allowed to return to that environment.
There will definitely be a big gap.
Their lives are based on ten thousand years, so why not "waste" a short period of time on a certain planet?
But the basis of all this is that it has some dependence on Xia Chen. Otherwise, a guy like Necrozma also has a long life. After solving the dark matter, wouldn't he immediately return to the ultimate world?
…………
"By the way, Gullton is not at home again?"
After coming back to his senses, Xia Chen realized that a familiar figure was missing.
This guy has been away from home for no apparent reason some time ago, but he comes back on time for dinner every day. I don’t know if he is more aware of returning home or just because he is craving for those two bites of food.
And its figure may often appear in any corner of the world.
As for how Xia Chen knew about it, it was because it was so famous that every time it was seen, it would trigger an upsurge of discussion on social media.
Sometimes in the morning someone said they saw it in Carlos, and in the afternoon the news that "Gulton appeared in Chimney Hill in Hoenn Region" would spread all over the Internet.
Xia Chen estimated that the "semi-retired" leisurely life he entered after the war more than half a year ago trapped the lively and active Gullton, who couldn't rest anymore and ran out to play every day.
It's like the kind of free-range elf that just runs out into the wild for a few laps. It's hard to say whether it will be missing arms or legs when it comes back.
But Guluton doesn't have to worry about this problem. The only one who can make it so miserable is Arceus.
"It said, go to the Crown Plateau and play with King Lei Guan."
Deoxys responded to Xia Chen's question while releasing healing waves.
Upon hearing this familiar name, Xia Chen couldn't help but smile, "That stinky guy? I haven't seen him in a long time."
Since the video of that battle was made public, all the legendary elves that appeared in it have quickly become known to everyone. This is naturally a huge benefit for King Lei Guan, an elf who feeds on faith.
Originally only slightly famous in the Galar region, it quickly became a well-known "big star", and much of its huge popularity was transformed into its power of belief.
The reborn King Lei Guan continued to use the power he gained to improve the natural environment of the Crown Snowfield. The more changes he made, the more creatures he believed in and respected him.
Under such a virtuous cycle, the former cold crown snowfield has now become a beautiful land with a pleasant climate.
The Galar Alliance is also preparing to build several towns there to avoid wasting such unique natural resources. As the core, King Lei Guan is naturally very busy.
However, now that it has fully entered the Alliance Era, its dream of regaining its title as king and ruling Galar will never be realized. This fact made King Lei Guan angry for a while.
"Who is secretly speaking ill of Gu?"
While chatting with Deoxys, Xia Chen suddenly heard a familiar voice. He turned his head and found that it was King Lei Guan who he had not seen for several months.
Its small figure jumped off the ghost horse gracefully, and not far behind it was Guluton. It seemed that the two elves came back together.
Xia Chen coughed lightly and changed the subject: "It's just a good time. We also said we haven't seen you for a long time. Let's have dinner together."
There was no embarrassment at all for saying bad things and being overheard by the elf in question.
King Lei Guan, who was well aware of Xia Chen's shamelessness, didn't care. He nodded and came over to help heal Duolong and the others.
Xia Chen shrugged and released the other elves from the elf ball.
The light flashed, and in an instant, the empty grassland was crowded with elves.
Xianbu, Gardevoir, Menas, Nian Meilong... are all elves that Xia Chen brought to the game but didn't get a chance to play.
"Everyone, look who is the guest."
The elves were still very enthusiastic about King Lei Guan, a special partner they had traveled with before but hadn't seen for a long time, and soon they got together and made a fuss.
Lei Guanwang, who originally pretended to be a cold and aloof male god, found it difficult to hold back in this atmosphere. After a while, the joyful laughter and slapstick became more and more noisy.
Looking at this warm scene, Xia Chen smiled slightly, then quietly walked into the house and started preparing dinner.
…………
Dinner was a barbecue feast with a strong Alola flavor. For those like Lei Guan Wang and Gardevoir who don't like meat, Xia Chen also prepared some roasted mushrooms with local characteristics.
In fact, the taste is as unique as Saifufu. You can also enjoy the barbecue iron rack after the elves have finished their meal. It is a complete use of everything.
Summer evenings in Alola come very early, and it’s only five or six o’clock after dinner, and the sky is completely dark.
Since this "rural area" has not been polluted by industry, the starry night sky makes the whole city bright and moving without the need for lights.
Lei Guanwang, who came from Galar, an area plagued by industrial pollution, was lying on the private beach behind the house, enjoying the salty and humid sea breeze that was completely different from the Guan Plateau.
"How come you have time to come see me today? What's the matter?"
Xia Chen sat down next to King Lei Guan and handed over a plate of Alola's local specialty tropical tree fruits.
Lei Guanwang used her superpower to control the fruit plate hanging by her hand, and replied casually: "I just happened to bump into Gulton. I thought of you and came over to take a look. Has it been a long time?"
Xia Chen shrugged and did not refute.
He has long known that humans and legendary elves have very different concepts of time. It is considered a deep friendship for King Lei Guan to come and see him when he thinks of him.
He has met many legendary elves over the years, and if some accidents hadn't happened, he might never have met them again in his life.
However, Xia Chen did not feel sad about the spring and autumn because of this. Regardless of the length of his life, the splendor of life is not unaffected by the dimension of time.
What I have experienced and achieved in the past few years is something that many people will never experience in their lifetime?
But then again, maybe at some point in the future, it would be a good experience to follow the footsteps of the past and re-travel the road?
King Lei Guan did not return to the Crown Plateau immediately that night. It is now positioned more as a "mascot" for people to worship and believe in rather than a king, and it does not have so many things to be busy with.
After hearing that Xia Chen was about to have an important game, he decided to join in the fun before leaving.
Although it has integrated into human society, it has never experienced anything new like a battle between elves.
Lei Guanwang became interested and even volunteered to go and play against each other in person. Unfortunately, Xia Chen refused on the grounds that "the battle list has already been submitted."
This is not an excuse, but even if he could, Xia Chen would not choose to bring King Lei Guan with him.
Although I have not communicated with Sirona, even the two people who were familiar with each other before the final deliberately avoided communication and meeting.
But Xia Chen knew that Sirona had been looking forward to this battle in this position for a long time.
Even though most people think that Xia Chen is the most amazing trainer in the world throughout the ages, it still doesn't mean much if he didn't win the title of "Ten Masters Champion".
Besides, what Xia Chen cares about is not the honorary title, but the pure battle with Sirona.
He would not even choose to bring the legendary elves Guluton and Deoxys, who had been with him for a long time, into the battle. How could King Lei Guan participate in the battle.
However, King Lei Guan was only interested for a moment and soon stopped mentioning the matter and was taken aside by Duolong, Sai Fuhao and the others to play around.
A night of silence.
——————
Three days later.
On June 3, 2027 in the league calendar, the Ten Masters Tournament finally ushered in the final battle under the spotlight——
Xi, the famous mythologist, the defending champion of the Eight Masters, the youngest champion in history, Rona VS Xia, the father of super evolution, the friend of the legendary elves, the founder of the gorgeous competition, and the savior of many regions, Chen!
This game has not even started yet, but it has already aroused unprecedented enthusiastic responses and discussions on the Internet.
In addition to the eye-catching factors of the final itself, firstly, because the two are recognized as one of the strongest trainers in the world, and secondly... the unclear relationship between the two for many years is also a mystery. A topic that people are talking about.
In fact, it's hard to say how ambiguous it is, but since Sirona became famous, she has almost never had any scandals with other trainers.
Xia Chen is undoubtedly the only and most special one, especially when the two of them meet, the gap in both strength and status is ridiculously large.
But in just three or four years, the two were about to meet on the stage of the Ten Masters, which represents the top level of trainers.
This factor undoubtedly raised the visibility of this final to another level.
Ever since, an hour before the start of the game, the total number of people waiting to watch the game in major live broadcast rooms has exceeded the terrifying number of 500 million.
This means that more than three out of every ten people in the world are watching this legendary battle.
And this number is still rising as the time approaches the start of the game.
If it weren't for the technological breakthroughs brought about by the Ultimate World, the huge traffic would most likely bring down the server of the live streaming platform.
Alola time is 7:40 pm, still 20 minutes before the official start.
In the arena, a "singing and dancing troupe" composed of various Alola native elves such as the Flower Dancer, the Sweet Queen, the Flame Queen, etc. are performing warm-up performances for the upcoming competition.
In the studio, a luxurious guest group was discussing the results of the competition enthusiastically.
"Do you still need to watch Xia Chen's game? Won't it be another victory when you wake up?"
The person who is speaking out in an exaggerated tone is Adike, the "leader of the Xia Chen Kua Kua group" with an afro hairstyle. Since his retirement, this guy has become more and more arrogant in the field of competition review.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! His professional and sharp level and humorous and exaggerated style make his explanations very popular.
The former world's strongest champion can always be seen in almost every major event, and this highly anticipated game is no exception.
"Watching Xia Chen's game is simply a pleasure. If Arceus wants to participate in the battle between elves, the trainer it chooses must be Xia Chen!"
It's hard to imagine such mindless remarks coming from a champion, but this happened to Adek all the time.
Therefore, other people in the studio were not surprised and expressed their opinions without much surprise.
"I think the outcome of this game is yet to be determined. Judging from Sirona's performance all the way up the promotion, she is just as comfortable as Xia Chen. Compared with her four years ago, Sirona now is even more powerful, not to mention that...
Forgot, she still has a Sidoran in her hand that hasn’t appeared yet.”
Standing slightly beside Sirona is another heavyweight, the Galar region champion Dandi who had just been eliminated by Xia Chen.
As a trainer who has fought against both of them at the same time, his analysis is quite convincing.
"Sirona is actually a lot stronger than what she has shown so far, but the other guy's depth cannot even be seen by me. This game is likely to become the greatest swan song in the history of elf battles."
Cattleya, who was very familiar with both Sirona and Xia Chen, commented on the game like this, but there was a special meaning in her words that caught Du's attention.
He shook his head and smiled: "The word "swan song" is not accurate. They are still young and have not reached their upper limit. I believe that the next encounter on the field will only be more exciting."
Cattleya replied calmly: "Maybe there won't be another battle like this."
Watanabe's keen insight as a prosecutor allowed him to grasp the key point immediately, and he asked in surprise: "What do you mean? Does it mean that some of them are going to retire?"
Cattleya nodded and spoke bluntly: "Sirona did reveal to me a few days ago that she wanted to retire this year. As for Xia Chen... he might have been waiting for this day when he first became the owner of the gym.
.”
The truth of this news shocked the guests in the studio, even though they are all powerful figures in various regions.
"How come it's so early? This old guy Adek has been in the championship position for more than 20 years."
Du, who has a good personal relationship with Adek, complained: "This guy Xia Chen is... thinking of retiring before he becomes the champion?"
Although Sirona has been famous for a long time, she is actually not yet thirty years old this year. It's just that she came to prominence too early, which makes her look like an "old-timer".
We must know that most champions in this age group are still competing for this coveted honor. It is beyond people's understanding that Sirona would retreat at such a rapid pace.
At the same time, the discussion enthusiasm of the audience in the live broadcast room was also ignited by this news.
"Ah? Goddess Sirona is retiring now? Isn't it a bit too early?"
"What's even more exaggerated is Xia Chen, who retired after just a few years of debut???"
"Hahaha, look at Du's expression, you can make it into an emoticon!"
"Watari: I am five years older than you and just became the champion. You told me that you are already retiring?"
"It's just a bit magical. When Ma Shide reached the top of Galar at the age of 30, it would have shocked countless people. Now the champions are ready to retire before they are 30 years old..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu The goddess retires, my youth is over!"
"Seriously, why did Sirona retire so early? She is obviously still in the period of rising strength."
"I guess it may be influenced by a certain Xia Xianyu who dreams of retiring before the age of thirty (Ibrahimovic smiles sideways.jpg)"
"It is rumored that Sirona and Xia Chen had an agreement to get married when they came back alive before the war half a year ago (Sure enough, Weng is serious.jpg)"
"It's true. I was Groudon who was there at the time. I can prove it."
"So this is a competition to decide who will wash the dishes after marriage? (Xinye Miao Cute.jpg)"
"Stop spreading rumors. Sirona's ten-year-old fan made a rational analysis. When she participated in the Lily of the Valley Conference, she said that she participated in the competition to compete with more outstanding trainers. She didn't really care about the title of champion. Now I guess
I think it’s no longer interesting to dominate for several years, so I plan to retire.”
"..."
…………
At the same time, in the player preparation room, Xia Chen was still struggling with this long-awaited match.
Facing the pairs of eyes in front of him that were shining with expectation, he still hadn't made a decision on which elves to choose for the battle.
After all, it is a retirement battle of great significance. It seems a bit cruel not to let anyone participate.
Seeing that the game was about to begin, and before the final decision was made, Gardevoir stepped forward first.
"Sana~ (I feel a little unwell, can I not play?)"
Gardevoir is still dedicated and uses excellent expression control to show off his physical discomfort.
But anyone could see that this was her excuse to give up her spot.
Gardevoir's refusal seemed to open an opening, and immediately afterwards, Menas, Dragon Baruto, and Zoroark also began to refuse politely.
The originally tense atmosphere suddenly reversed, and the whole thing became completely relaxed.
The only one who did not change her mind was Xianbu. Uncharacteristically, she did not choose to be humble to her juniors, and always expressed her desire to fight to Xia Chen with expectant eyes.
Seeing that the elves were almost quarreling with each other, Xia Chen simply made a decision directly.
"In this way, those who participated in the last game will give the opportunity to other partners, okay?"
This is undoubtedly a fair and reasonable plan, so before the staff urged the players to play, Xia Chen took the six elves back into the ball——
Fairy Eevee, Menas, Gardevoir, Zoroark, Vulcan Moth, and Zeraora who has not played in the entire series.
Then, facing the cheers and screams of tens of thousands of spectators that almost broke through the sky, Xia Chen stepped into the battlefield.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Naturally, it is impossible to have this kind of nervousness again. Although this battle is exaggerated, it is not half as big as Kyogre turning over in the sea.
However, looking at Sirona who walked out of the entrance passage on the opposite side almost at the same time, Xia Chen couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
It has taken him four years to go from being an audience in front of the screen to being a contestant on stage now.
At his feet is the stage that represents the highest honor of the world's top trainers, and in front of him is the world's number one trainer who is waiting for a battle with him.
The noise of roaring mountains and tsunami coming from my ears made everything seem like a dream.
After a brief absence, he raised his right hand and waved to the surrounding stands, which instantly triggered an even louder and louder shout.
After paying his respects, Xia Chen turned to look at Sirona, who was directly opposite the battlefield. Perhaps it was a coincidence that she also happened to finish interacting with the surrounding audience and cast her gaze over.
Although they were nearly a hundred meters apart, the two seemed to sense the emotions in each other's eyes and looked at each other with a knowing smile.
It just so happened that the big screens in the arena were aimed at their facial expressions respectively. The intention was to create a tense and solemn pre-war atmosphere, but instead it presented an ambiguous atmosphere that was unclear.
There was a burst of well-intentioned boos from the audience.
After a brief interlude, the game officially started with the whistle of the referee standing on the shield sword monster.
…………
This newly built ultimate arena has a variety of venues including rocks, snow, forests, shoals and other natural environments.
The method of venue switching is similar to Miare Arena, but it is more efficient and convenient. The rules of the finals are that every time three elves lose the ability to fight, a new venue will be switched.
The game starts with a random river field.
The small, rapid river meanders through the site with an area of nearly 10,000 square meters, and the ratio of water surface to ground is almost 50/50.
Undoubtedly, this is a relatively versatile venue for fighting, and it can simultaneously meet the needs of three types of survival elf battles: water, land and air.
Xia Chen and Sirona's choices of elves are relatively conventional, namely Menas and Lucario.
The two popular elves with both strength and good looks aroused thunderous applause from the audience as soon as they appeared on the stage. It can be confirmed without a decibel tester. In these few seconds, the sound wave has set a new high since the opening.
For two people who know each other very well, there is no need for testing, no need for humility, and no need for a trainer to command. As soon as the game started, the two elves used the first move almost at the same time in tacit agreement.
Whoosh——
The sharp sound of breaking through the air was clearly audible, and the frames on the screen only jumped once. The audience was shocked to find that Lucario, who had just come out of the Poké Ball, had disappeared.
Flying Rotom, who was in charge of the professional camera, was unable to react. He was stunned for half a second before he caught up with Lucario, whose whole body was wrapped in silver light.
Super speed!
With the help of this pre-emptive move, Lucario, who was already extremely fast, seemed to turn into a silver-white bullet that shuttled through the space, and rushed to Menas' side in the blink of an eye.
Undoubtedly, this is a fast-break strategy that Sirona had planned before the game.
As soon as the game started, Lucario's amazing speed caused a burst of exclamations from the audience. Even Watari, the champion, couldn't help but marvel.
"This speed...Senior Dandi, which one is faster or slower compared to your Dragon Baruto?"
Dandi's Dragon Baruto is recognized as the king of speed. He once showed a terrifying speed exceeding Mach 2, which is twice the speed of sound, in a test.
Faced with this question, Alchemy shook his head, "Under the same conditions, we may still be able to compete, but with the blessing of [Godly Speed], Duolong is not as good as Lucario."
He couldn't help but said: "It seems that Cattleya is right. The previous games have not allowed Sirona to show her true strength. Perhaps the only one who can push her to her limit is Xia Chen."
While several people were commenting and explaining, the situation on the battlefield had already changed dramatically.
There is no doubt that Menas failed to dodge in the face of such a fast attack.
In fact, it never meant to dodge from the beginning to the end.
state--
A crisp sound similar to the collision of metal suddenly sounded, which made people wonder——
It’s easy to understand why Lucario, a steel elf, makes such a sound, but why would Menas, a water elf, do the same?
The camera showed where the two elves met, Lucario punched out with a single fist, and the steel spikes at the end of the powerful fist shone with a stinging cold light.
It is conceivable that a punch punched at a speed exceeding Mach 2, even if there is no steel energy attached, just the terrifying impact brought by the extreme speed is enough to cause horrific damage.
However, the fact is that Menus, who was hit head-on, was only knocked back a few steps, and even the few scales that were in direct contact with Lucario only showed fine and shallow white marks.
The deliberately enlarged details on the screen allow all viewers to experience the terrifying physical defense capabilities of Menas.
You must know that divine speed is not different from preemptive moves such as bullet punch or lightning flash. Its own power is not low.
Even if Lucario's general-type move doesn't get the bonus of the same type, it won't be unable to break through Menas's defense, right?
…………
Unlike the shock of the audience, Lucario and Sirona on the field were calm.
"Scraspy!"
Almost at the same time, the moment after Sirona gave the command, Lucario used the steel thorns between the fur on his body to collide with each other and released this move that can greatly reduce the opponent's physical defense.
If your defense is high, I will lower your defense a little bit and then fight.
At this time, the tactical advantage of Sirona's choice to start the attack was reflected again. The harsh sound of the close-fitting release hit Menas next to her almost instantly, making it unresponsive even if it wanted to use moves like [Hold].
time.
But at the same time, Lucario also has to bear the same risks——
Bang——
It was like the sudden explosion of a heavy cannon, and a majestic stream of water rushed towards Lucario like a waterfall falling straight down from a high mountain.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Spray!
The terrifying moves that only a few elves, including Kyogre and the Howling Whale, could originally master, are now blooming magnificently on this stage.
When the user's vitality is abundant, the damage of this move is comparable to the destructive death ray with powerful side effects!
And because Lucario's previous divine speed had caused almost no effective damage to Menus, the power of this water spray has undoubtedly reached its upper limit.
The risk of a close attack was now fully exposed. Faced with Menus' spray of water that burst out in an instant, Lucario had no room to dodge.
boom--
The majestic and rapid water flow actually made a terrifying sound similar to the explosion of flames. The continuous high-pressure impact caused Lucario to rise and fall like a lonely boat in a tsunami.
Lucario's special defense and health abilities are not outstanding, which also prevents it from being able to ignore the rapid impact like Menas.
The damage caused by this spray of water was undoubtedly terrifying, but it was also what Sirona expected.
Being familiar with Xia Chen's fighting style, she knew that what this guy was best at was adapting to circumstances and never losing.
Being used by Lucario to double the speed and harsh sound?
Then Menas must retaliate in kind!
In fact, such an exchange is acceptable to both parties.
Lucario broke through the opponent's impenetrable defense, and Menas also caused horrific damage to the little crispy one.
After the fierce confrontation between the two sides at the beginning, the battle that really determines the outcome has just begun.
"Lucario, close combat!"
"Meenas may leap into the abyss!"
It was still an extremely powerful and ferocious attack. The fast-paced hand-to-hand fighting between the two elves made the cheers and shouts in the audience get louder and louder, just like the rapid and violent energy aftermath on the river field.
"It's actually a close combat, but Sirona's command is still so... bold and careful."
In the guest group, Adek commented: "She was hit by a spray of water, but she still dared to use [close combat] that would reduce her defense ability. I have to say that she controlled the situation too accurately."
Dan Emperor answered from the side: "Yes, the opponent is an elf like Menas with superior defense and recovery ability. If you use moves like [Splitting Tile] or [Absorbing Fist], there is no risk.
But the previous [harsh sound] was wasted. The best choice at this moment is undoubtedly to force Menas through close combat, so that he is forced to fight and has no time to use long-term combat moves such as water ring.
"
Adek shrugged and said: "This is Sirona's Lucario's signature fighting style. Through powerful attack power, the opponent is forced into his own rhythm, and his rich experience and top-notch reactions can make him
Then use the [Absorbing Fist] to lock your own physical strength in the dangerous position of jumping back and forth from the dying state line."
Dandi nodded with deep understanding, "Another advantage of doing this is that there is a move called [Escape from Desperate Times], which can allow Lucario to produce terrifying explosive power at any time."
The two champions, who had also been defeated by this style of play, looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths could not help but evoke a helpless smile of sympathy.
…………
Just as the two "Lucario victims" were sharing their experiences, a continuous fast-paced attack broke out on the battlefield.
Just as Dandi said, under Lucario's powerful combos like a sudden storm, Menas had to counterattack with the same frequency.
The rainy weather activated by Or Leap in the Abyss greatly increased the power of Minus' water-based moves, but with Lucario's clever positioning, he relied on the effect of the sucking punch to lock up the blood.
Xia Chen frowned and looked at the situation that was gradually becoming stalemate on the field, and the pressure in his heart suddenly increased.
He originally thought that Menas' current hard power was no less than that of top champion elves like Biting Land Shark, but Sirona's progress was not slow either.
Or maybe, this is the true strength she hides?
However, along with the pressure, there is also excitement.
Why doesn't Xia Chen hope that the final battle of his career will be exciting enough?
"Meinas, dive!"
He made a decisive command immediately, hoping to get Menas out of the current rhythm controlled by Lucario.
In the final analysis, the battle between elves is nothing more than an attack and a defense, changing the rhythm.
As long as the difference in strength is not too obvious, the side that controls the rhythm will often be the final winner.
The heavy rain that lasted for nearly three minutes made the already humid river venue more and more full of water. Although Menus was not as fast as Lucario, he still couldn't stop his opponent if he wanted to outrun him.
With a twist of his body, Menas slipped away from Lucario's dense punches and jumped into the small river on the field.
Sirona did not let Lucario chase.
Are you kidding, a land elf and a water elf fighting in the water?
Isn't that just asking for trouble?
"Sword Dance!"
Sirona raised her eyebrows and immediately made the most correct choice, strengthening her sword dance.
The purpose is very simple, if you don't come out, I will force you to come out.
Although it is a "skill" that even a beginner trainer can come up with, it is not easy to use.
Menas's defense itself has been greatly reduced by [Screeching Sound], and if Lucario greatly strengthens his attack, will he still be able to fight?
By then, with a few sucking punches, Lucario's life force will be fully absorbed.
But Xia Chen seemed not to understand this. Seeing that Lucario's first sword dance was about to be strengthened, he still did not command Menus to surface and launch an attack.
What is it doing?
As the finals of the top competition, camera equipment is naturally everywhere on the venue.
The screen switched, and the next second, the figure of Menas hiding in the water appeared on the split screen.
"Is it using... Butterfly Dance?"
The movement of Menas dancing in the water aroused Du's surprise.
He frowned and analyzed: "It doesn't make sense. Although Die Wu can improve the three abilities of special attack, special defense, and speed at once, at least two of them are of little use."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Lucario's battle must be dominated by physical attack moves, so the improvement of special defense must be useless, and with the speed difference between the two elves, the United States
If Nas wants to catch up with Butterfly Dance, he has to use it at least twice, so the price-performance ratio is really not high."
Reading between the lines, Du is not optimistic about Menus' butterfly dance in response to Lucario's sword dance.
Cattleya, who rarely commented on the competition, then responded: "No, there is no need to catch up with Lucario, it is enough to improve."
Du was slightly surprised, but after all, he was one of the top trainers. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately understood what Cattleya meant.
"I understand. From this point of view, Diewu is indeed a good choice."
…………
The riddle between the two champions left the audience a little confused, but the fast-paced battle quickly revealed the answer to this question.
The pouring rain on the field continued, and the two elves chose to do the Sword Dance and Butterfly Dance again at the same time after the promotion ended almost at the same time!
The difference is that this time, while Lucario was still performing the second sword dance, Menas had already finished the butterfly dance and suddenly emerged from the water!
"It's Die Wu, Menas used Die Wu!"
Adek, the most "serious" commentator among the guests, explained: "As we all know, speed-increasing moves like Butterfly Dance and Dragon Dance can not only increase the speed of the elf itself, but can also increase the speed of the moves, and Xia Chen
Everyone knows the characteristics of the elf Menas. The skill release speed is much faster than that of opponents of the same level. Therefore, we can see that Lucario, whose release speed was originally slightly slower, has already matched the level during the second stage of strengthening.
It can no longer keep up with the rhythm of Menas. This is the role of Butterfly Dance. This is Xia Chen’s command. The rhythm is regained!"
As Adek said, the game between Butterfly Dance and Sword Dance has fundamentally changed the situation of this battle.
Lucario was originally waiting on the shore, but instead he waited for Menas to launch a strong counterattack.
After completing the second stage of the Butterfly Dance, Menas's special attack, special defense, and speed have been greatly improved, while Lucario is in an awkward stage where the second stage of the Sword Dance has not yet ended.
Don't continue. Failure to strengthen is a loss.
Keep going, you will inevitably get beaten, and you will still lose money.
Lucario's situation at this time vividly illustrates what it means to be unable to dismount.
And Sirona's silent response was to continue the sword dance!
The orange-yellow brilliance circulates on Lucario's agile and vigorous body, and at the same time, its fighting spirit continues to rise.
Menas didn't care about this. It drove its slender and fit body at a high speed. When its tail with colorful scales rolled up, the rapid water flowed down by the wind and formed a water dragon that roared and swallowed the water that was still closed.
Eye meditation releases Lucario of Sword Dance.
boom--
The strengthening of the two butterfly dances was not false. The unprepared water cannon suddenly erupted with extreme explosive power far exceeding the previous water spray, directly knocking back the irresistible Lucario to the edge of the entire venue, leaving a mark on the wall.
The next huge hole embedded in Lucario.
You must know that this site is made of a special material mixed with radiant stone, and its strength is far beyond the ability of ordinary king-level elves to destroy it.
But at this moment, under Menas' water cannon, the wall was as fragile as foam.
Obviously, this is the limit of the site, not the power limit of this water cannon.
"Catch up and continue!"
Lucario was not left with the slightest chance to breathe. Before Xia Chen's command could be heard, Menas flew out from the string like a wandering dragon, approaching the location of the pothole. At the same time, the next wave came.
The water cannon is already accumulating in its wide open mouth.
The smoke and dust caused by the destruction of the wall concealed Lucario's condition, but it is not difficult to guess that with the double butterfly dance and the bonus of rainy weather, Lucario's not-so-hard body must be on the verge of death at this moment.
The status is not far away.
If this water cannon hits again...
"Bang--"
While everyone was daydreaming, the loud noise from the water cannon echoed across the battlefield again.
The director hurriedly switched the camera, but in the huge hole in the wall, where was Lucario's figure at this moment?
"Behind Menas!"
Du's reminder caused the camera to jump quickly. Just as it said, at this moment, Lucario, who was covered in scars, unexpectedly walked around behind Menas at an unknown moment, raising his fists with cold steel thorns high in the air.
.
Deliberate punch!
…………
"Absorbing Fist... No, it's about surviving a desperate situation!"
Adek exclaimed: "What kind of confidence does it take to survive from a desperate situation! The strengthening of the double sword dance will definitely allow Lucario to recover a considerable amount of life and physical strength through the absorption fist, but she chose a desperate situation.
Good luck!"
"Yes, this is the difference between Sirona and other trainers."
Watanabe sighed in agreement: "Even I will subconsciously direct the suction punch at this moment. Of course, the advantages need not be mentioned too much. However, the only hidden disadvantage is that after the physical strength recovers, it will be difficult for Lucario to find such a
A desperate opportunity to survive, even though this opportunity is very extreme."
"High risks, high returns, moves like [Escape from Desperate Times] where the minimum and maximum damage can differ ten times, can only be played so freely in the hands of Sirona."
During the explanation, Lucario's fist had already been punched out.
This time it was Menas who drew a beautiful parabola in the air.
First, the harsh sound reduces the physical defense, and then the two sword dances greatly increase the physical attack.
Such a desperate situation can be said to be more powerful than the water cannon just now.
In other words, it was Menas who took the beating. It would be difficult for someone with a weaker physique...or Saifuhao who is restrained by his fighting attributes to survive this sure kill from "One Punch Super Dog" Lucario.
One blow.
Unprepared...or in other words, prepared but powerless, Menas pierced the sky like a heavy cannon.
The camera had no choice but to switch from one end of the field to the other in just one second.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lucario is faster than the camera switching speed. In just a few jumps, it is extremely explosive and can cross hundreds of meters.
Arriving at the other end where Menas was shot away.
It is worth mentioning that it did not choose to get close to Meenas quickly like Menas just now, but maintained an appropriate distance that was neither too far nor too close, as if to prepare for Menas' counterattack.
However, such a scenario does not exist.
A red light suddenly appeared, and when the camera turned, it was Xia Chen who directly took back Menas.
This unexpected choice caused a commotion on the court.
Adek couldn't help but comment: "You are willing to take back the two butterfly dance enhancements? Obviously another water cannon... even a range move like surfing can directly take away Kalio, with the speed of butterfly dance
Improve, even if both sides fight for speed, Xia Chen's probability of winning will not be low."
Cattleya nodded and said calmly: "This is the ultimate expression of the difference in styles between the two. Sirona's calm and almost cold appearance has a burning heart that always wants to dance with swords, while Xia Chen's sunny and warm heart
Behind his unique characteristics is his ultimate desire to control the rhythm.”
The big star Karuni who didn't want to talk because she was eliminated early said in awe: "Maybe this is the end of the trainer's path..."
…………
Lucario has not left the field. Even though its current state is already in the wind, its fighting spirit is burning in complete inverse proportion to its state.
What Xia Chen chose to change into was Gardevoir, who was wearing a white dress with a fairy air.
"Choose to use Gardevoir, who has [teleportation] and strong field control ability, to take over the game? This choice is very Xia Chen..."
Adek stared at the screen intently and spoke very quickly: "We saw that Lucario, who has the right to take the initiative, did not use the close combat method it is good at to fight Gardevoir, but chose to use wave missiles.
One is that it is impossible to determine whether this is Gardevoir transformed by Zoroark, and the other is that she wants to force out Gardevoir's [teleportation], if she is."
"The locking characteristics of the wave missile made it impossible for Gardevoir to dodge, so she didn't dodge at all. The move she chose to respond was...[Shadow Ball]! Is it really Zoroark?"
Ghosts are immune to fighting, but fighting is not immune to ghosts.
I wonder if Zoroark's Gardevoir can be indifferent to wave missiles, but Lucario cannot ignore this shadow ball that may kill it.
Jumping up lightly, Lucario sideways dodged the dark purple energy ball flying towards him.
Instead of retreating, it advanced, but it suddenly stabbed at Gardevoir's side, and a strong and exciting golden-orange light lit up on both fists.
Survival from desperate situation!
She is gambling!
Be it wave-ignoring missiles or shadow balls.
Sirona is betting that these tricks are all Xia Chen's deception. In fact, this is Gardevoir!
Her confidence is actually not small.
If it were really Zoroark, the release of the shadow balls would not be so unskilled, and there is a high probability that the shadow balls would be released like dark clouds covering the sun, ending the game directly.
What's the point of a shadow ball that doesn't move up or down?
It's so un-Xia Chen.
The unexpected surprise flashed a trace of shock and panic in Xia Chen's eyes. Sirona, who was observing and capturing it from a distance, couldn't help but have a sly and playful smile on her lips.
Huh, can I still let you lie to me?
However, what she didn't notice was that hidden in the panic in Xia Chen's eyes was a fleeting smile.
call--
A sound that exceeded Sirona's expectations suddenly sounded. It was not the muffled sound of a punch hitting the flesh, but more like the sound of a punch hitting the air——
Survival from desperate situation, failed!
The camera showed a scene of the two elves meeting. From the slow playback, it can be clearly seen that Lucario's powerful fist went straight through the body of "Gardevoir" and hit the air behind him!
"It's not Gardevoir, it's Zoroark!"
A'Du, who reacted immediately, shouted passionately: "Sirona finally made a mistake!"
"No, it can't be considered a mistake. She just made a judgment she believed in in milliseconds, while Xia Chen was thinking about the problem from a higher level."
Mature and experienced Adek commented: "There may be winners and losers in this game, but there is no right or wrong. Never deny your own judgment. It will only make you miss opportunities in future battles."
The old man was still teaching earnestly in the guest seats, but the battle on the battlefield was over in the blink of an eye.
Lucario's offensive failed, and he took the initiative to get close to Zoroark. Needless to say, there were consequences.
Just a shadow claw completely ended Lucario's state of collapse during the battle with Menas.
On the big screen, Sirona took back Lucario's fallen body with a slightly helpless expression, and the dots next to her head that represented the status of the six elves also dimly extinguished one of them.
After throwing a dangerous smile with unknown meaning at Xia Chen, Sirona quickly adjusted her state. After thinking for a moment, she quickly threw her second elf ball of the game.
White light flashed, and a huge dark blue dragon-shaped elf appeared on the battlefield.
Astonishingly, this is the ace elf that Sirona is famous for——
Bite the land shark!
…………
"Wow, Sirona actually sent out his ace elf!"
Adele exclaimed with some humorous exaggeration: "It seems that she is bound to win the next battle!"
A'Du nodded and responded: "This is a good choice. Xia Chen, who just took the initiative to exchange elves, cannot replace Zoroark within three minutes. This means that Biting Land Shark will not encounter him during this period of time."
Opponents that are more difficult to deal with include Fairy Eevee, Gardevoir, and the others, and three minutes is enough for Liebite Land Shark to do a lot of things."
"Yes, maybe this is why Sirona chose to let the biting land shark come on stage so quickly."
A few people were chatting. On the field, Sirona and Biting Land Shark had quickly completed their super evolution after appearing on the stage.
Several spikes running across the chest and arms add a bit of ferocity to the already brutal-looking Super Biting Land Shark.
