Pokemon Speechless

夜晚

When Ling and Shinji had finished washing and were retrieving player information on the forum through their portable laptops in the room of the Elf Center, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room. The two looked at each other subconsciously, and finally Ling got up and opened the door. Door.

"Xiaoxia?" Ling was quite surprised to see the person coming, but still turned sideways and said, "Come in, what's the matter?"

"Sorry to disturb you so late..." Xiaoxia subconsciously rubbed her hands, "But Xiaogang said I'd better come and ask for your advice..." Shinji listened and knew her purpose: "Gyarados Dragon." Ling raised his eyebrows clearly: "So, it is indeed a powerful opponent, but it doesn't mean that there is no chance to defeat that Gyarados."

"You really have a way!" Xiaoxia's eyes suddenly lit up. Ling shrugged and sat back on the chair, turning his computer to Xiaoxia who was sitting opposite: "These are all the game videos of Gaomei in the past few days. The characteristic of her using Gyarados is that when her opponent uses a weak power, When using the skill, Gyarados will directly use the Destructive Death Ray to attack, so Xiaoxia, you can use the fast elf in the battle tomorrow."

Xiaoxia understood immediately: "Because using the destroying death ray will cause stiffness as a side effect, I can use a small power skill to lure her, and then dodge before being hit, right?" "Correct answer." Ling snapped his fingers. . "By the way, Gyarados's weakness is its big mouth. You can pay attention to it during the game tomorrow. But we don't know what Gaomei's second elf is, so Xiaoxia, even if you beat Gyarados, Just be more careful.”

"As expected of Ling! What Xiaogang said is indeed right. As an expert in the water system, Ling will definitely be able to come up with a solution." Xiaoxia happily hugged Ling and rubbed her hands. "When I met Ling, I felt that it was just me. I still have a long way to go to become a water elf master now... I still have a lot to learn, and I have to be at least as strong as Ling."

"I'm not a water-type expert. I just conquered a few more water-type elves..." Ling tried to argue, but even Shinji wouldn't believe her.

next day

Early the next morning, the game between Xiaoxia and Gaomei started quickly. Facing Gaomei's starting Gyarados, Xiaoxia sent out the small but flexible Sun Coral. As soon as the battle started, just as Ling said the night before, Gyarados directly used the destructive death ray in the face of Sun Coral's water gun. Then, just as Ling predicted, Sun Coral fired a ray of light at Gyarados's mouth. Power Gem, after a loud noise, Gyarados lost its combat effectiveness. This series of attacks shocked everyone.

However, Gaomei's second elf made Xiaoxia suffer a lot. The lantern fish she sent used chaotic light as soon as it appeared, causing the sun coral to fall into chaos, and then used discharge and water guns to defeat the sun coral. , and Xiaoxia's second one used the starfish. After both losses with the lantern fish, she was unable to escape the chaotic light, and was finally defeated by the electric discharge.

Xiaoxia, who returned to the auditorium, was very disappointed: "I'm sorry Ling... even though you gave me hints, I still couldn't win." "Lantern fish and electric lamp monsters always have a natural advantage in this kind of situation," Ling He patted Xiaoxia's head to comfort him, "Just like Shinji's Lotte Kappa."

Watching the game, you can't always notice the passage of time, and the fourth game soon came. In this game, Shinji still relied on a high-five surprise attack to seize the initiative, and then sent the opponent's octopus barrel off the field with two energy balls. Mingyao's second elf is Water Eevee. Because of its own characteristics of water storage and melting skills, Water Eevee is extremely difficult to deal with. However, for Shinji who has mastered offensive protection (returning punch shield), it is not. What is difficult to deal with? He first used Lotte Kappa's own swaying dance steps to avoid the attack of Water Eevee. At the same time, the continuous output of freezing beams always made the attack of Water Eevee in vain. Not only that, the original water field also suffered due to the continuous The low temperature gradually turned into a field of ice. In the end, Water Eevee had nowhere to hide, and was absorbed by the ultimate and exhausted the last of his physical strength.

In the afternoon, it was finally Ling's turn to compete.

"The first game in the afternoon, the two teams are Ling and Ibuki! In the previous games, Ibuki's Slowpoke and Giant-winged Flying Fish have performed very well, but Ling has never used them so far. The repeated water elf, I wonder what kind of surprise she will bring us this time!" The commentator's voice spread throughout the venue.

"Go, Slowpoke!" "Easy, get ready for battle!" The two of them threw the elf ball together.

Seeing Ling sending out new elves, the surrounding audience made another noise, and the commentator's head suddenly started to hurt, but he still worked hard and started checking the information.

"Player Ling has sent out another elf that we have never seen before!" the commentator shouted loudly, "This is the light elf from the distant Hezhu area. Their color will be different due to gender differences. Player Ling's is just pink. Therefore, it is a female! The most important thing is that in addition to the water attribute, Qingpiaopiao is also a very rare ghost-type elf. Player Ibuki is at a disadvantage this time!"

After hearing that Qingpiaopiao had ghost attributes, Ibuki's expression suddenly turned ugly, but he still took the lead and ordered: "Slow-shell beast, water wave!"

Water Wave is one of the most common skills in this competition. Most people do not do it for pure power, but hope to trigger the additional effect of chaos. But for Qingpiaopiao, it wants to plunge the opponent into chaos. Simple, no need to rely on illusory luck.

"Light and light, invisible!" Before he finished speaking, the trace of Qingpiao suddenly disappeared on the field. This is the unique ability of the ghost-type elves, and it is also the reason why they become one of the most troublesome elves in the battle.

"Tsk." Ibuki smacked his mouth, "Slowmon, pay attention to your surroundings!" Other than that, he couldn't do much else.

"Strange light!" Just because everyone couldn't see Qingpiaopiao didn't mean that Ling didn't know where it was. When she found that Qingpiaopiao had wandered behind the Slowshell Beast, she knew the time had come.

"Puririll~" The sudden appearance of Qingpiao startled everyone. When Ibuki reacted, it was already too late. Slowmon became unconscious and staggered on the floating board.

"Then misfortune never comes singly!" There is no skill more suitable than misfortune never comes singly at this time. He rolled around lightly on the spot a few times, and his two tentacles fired a purple-black beam of light from his chest, directly knocking the Slowshell into the water. , when it surfaced again, it had lost its ability to fight.

Before this game, Ibuki had been relying on Slugmon's omnipotent superpower to go smoothly. He probably didn't expect it to be defeated so easily. His whole state plummeted instantly. The giant-winged flying fish he sent later was defeated by Ling. The great sword ghost fainted on the water in just a few strokes, just like chopping vegetables and melons.

From then on, four of the five people in the group participated, and in the end only Ling and Shinji made it to the quarterfinals.

"In the end, only Ling and Shinji entered the top eight." After returning to the Elf Center, the group found a booth to gather together, and Ash was the first to speak, "But it won't be like this at the Johto Alliance Conference. "

"Yeah, let's decide the winner at the Johto Alliance Conference." Ling was immersed in taking notes on the video played on the computer, and took the time to reply. As for Shinji, he didn't even raise his head.

"Xiaoxia, failure is the mother of success. Don't worry about losing this time." At this moment, Xiaogang, who had brought the drink, said to Xiaoxia, who had always looked disappointed.

"I know, but I feel so useless. If it weren't for Ling's guidance yesterday... I might not even be able to defeat Gyarados, let alone the second lantern fish." Xiaoxia said.

Hearing this, Ling finally closed the computer, raised his head, and spoke thoughtfully: "Xiaoxia, if you bring this up on your own initiative, I'll just say one more thing. In fact, after these two days of competition, I discovered that you know a lot about water elves. Your performance in battle is very good, but obviously, you have too little actual combat experience, so you cannot seize many opportunities in time, and you do not know how to deal with many situations. This is the real reason for your failure. How to put it... If you want to defeat your opponent, just traveling, I think, is not enough. You have to know many different trainers, fight with different people, and fight with different elves, no matter you win or lose, These are all good experiences, so that you can bring out the charm of the water elf."

"Do you mean to let me also participate in the league competition?" Xiaoxia asked.

"This is a good choice, but it is not the only one. What you do in the end depends on you, Xiaoxia." Ling tilted his head and looked out the window, as if he was recalling something, and then smiled, "I was confused before. However, I didn’t know why I wanted to become stronger. It was just because everyone said that I wanted to become stronger, become a champion, and become an elf master, so I blindly pursued becoming stronger and got lost in it. But my brother woke me up. , he told me that I need to find a real, long-term goal, find something that I really like, and push me to make continuous progress instead of just following the crowd."

"Actually, I still haven't found this goal. I'm not sure what I really like and what I really want to do, but I'm still on the journey, meeting elves and different people," she looked at Shinji, The latter happened to look at her, and then both of them smiled, "Because you can't stop because you are confused. If you don't act without a goal, your inner doubts will never be answered. But if you act, even if you fail, Something will be gained, and such attempts are never in vain.”

"Whether it's an alliance competition or a gorgeous competition, it doesn't matter, just go fight, find the answer in the battle, and find where you belong."
