This elf world is kind of weird

Chapter 19 Thornton: You call this a little bit?

The individual competition system of the Carlos Academy Youth Championship is relatively simple and rough.

Because of the need to take care of the newly-adult students who do not have a large number of Pokémon, before the top 32, that is, the first two rounds, a one-on-one game will be used to determine the winner.

After entering the top 32, considering that the players' strength has generally improved, it was changed to a three-on-three half-court format.

This kind of competition system can narrow the gap between current students and the very few special trainers who participate as "foreign aid" to a certain extent.

However, the effect is actually not significant.

Most of the specially-approved trainers are approved for registration under the age of 15, and some have traveled for several years before reaching adulthood. Although most of them have not achieved very good grades, they have not fully realized their so-called talents and potentials. But at the age of 18, those who get up early are usually better than the academics who pay more attention to foundation and theory.

Choosing to let some of them participate as "foreign aid" from their alma mater before they were approved to register is also a means used by the organizer Carlos Union to motivate students.

But the last time a current student defeated a group of special batch students to win the championship was about ten years ago.

There are no specially-approved students to participate in the Sala Academy this year, but they have a rare luxury configuration such as Phileo, Antoine, and Abe in recent years, so the school still attaches great importance to it, and hopes to make breakthroughs in performance. Especially team competitions.

After all, there are five people participating in the team competition, and each person can only choose one Pokémon. The gap in lineup depth is minimized. Ace strength and lineup configuration are the key points.

-

"In the individual competition, there is a gap in lineup depth between our school students and those specially approved trainers who have traveled, but we should not underestimate ourselves. We must give full play to our knowledge advantages and systematic training, and combine our strength and training. Show your style!"

On the training ground, Mr. Thornton has quickly recovered from the bitterness of being shown his IQ by Philio, and became passionate again, which also infected the students in front of him.

Although Salo College is not a famous school in the Carlos area, it can be regarded as having a long history and profound heritage. It is still powerful in the west of Carlos. The collapse of the halberd in the past few years has accumulated pressure and motivation to this day, and it has become a school in the eyes of the students. Target.

Antoine and Abe stood at the front. Compared to Filio, who only had a little dream monster, they were the two students who had earlier prepared for the change of the competition format to three versus three after the top 32.

Antoine himself has Fat Hali, Shuttlecock Mian and Ouch Ball Mushroom who have been raised since childhood and have received full support from the Beinek Gym. Among them, based on pure energy levels, Fat Hali is level 34 and Shuttlecock Mian is level 30. , is his main force. The Oops mushrooms that have only been hatched in recent months have reached level 27. The next few months will still be a period of rapid growth and progress for them.

Abby started a little slower than Antoine, but his Pokémon talent is no less impressive.He comes from a family of breeders. Not only does he have the ace Flash Mongoose Slash, whose energy level has reached level 35, but he also has Vulpix and Casey who were just born. They are all considered to be extremely talented. A few months are enough to form a complete combat capability. .

Looking at each other, the two regarded each other as the strongest competitor other than Phileo.

On weekdays, they often compete with each other. Today, with Thornton's encouragement and stimulation, they are full of fighting spirit.

However, their ideas came to nothing.

Under the expectant gazes of the two, Thornton put away the energy measuring instrument in his hand and took off his coat.

This narrow-minded Heitiezhu is probably trying to gain face by fighting with me.

Philio thought.

As Philio expected, just after hanging up his clothes, Thornton walked to the edge of the battlefield and said in a deep voice:

"Filio, your dream monster has already reached the senior level or the dojo level in terms of energy accumulation, right? Let's have a battle to show our classmates. I will also choose to compete with your strength. Similar Pokémon."

Ever since he checked the little dream monster with the energy measuring instrument, Thornton, who was so happy to see the hunter, had the idea of ​​​​doing it himself.

Although Philio's dream monster is obviously relatively petite among its kind, he is very excited about the accumulation of energy and the extremely profound development of ghost-type energy.

In the battle class for more than two years before, he has already had a deep understanding of Filio's command quality, and what kind of chemical reaction can he produce when paired with the main Pokémon whose energy accumulation is comparable to that of many specially approved trainers? , he is also looking forward to it.

Of course, the role of the idea that "Teacher Thornton, who is as black as a black iron tower, also wants to regain face through an actual battle" cannot be ignored.

"Okay, Mr. Thornton."

Filio would also be happy to see it finished sooner.

"March!"

The eager little dream monster no longer had the cute and harmless form before, and the huge grimace pattern condensed in the air, which was the embodiment of pure ghost energy.

-

The battle area dedicated to the advanced class is an advanced battle field that has been specially strengthened for teachers and students to practice.

The rest of the students participating in the training, as well as the companion Pokémon from the college's breeding house, have all sat down in the auditorium, ready to observe this rare head-to-head contest between teachers and students.

"Antoine, you have seen the battle between Filio and Nazi. What is the style of Little Dream Demon? Mongoose Zhanke and I also want to fight him."

Abbey sat next to Antoine and asked with a smile when he saw that he picked up the notebook seriously and pasted the picture of the dream monster on it. He was preparing to write something while looking at the field.

On the battlefield, the little dream monster was floating in the air, and on the other side was a tall and streamlined flame queen lizard standing on two legs.

Hearing Abe's question, Antoine frowned slightly, his lips parted slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end.

"Why, it's hard to comment?"

The appearance of Antoine made Abe even more curious.

Antoine nodded: "Yes. It's hard to evaluate. If you insist, not only can you find no weaknesses, but it's like an extension of Philio's body. Sometimes I don't even understand Phileo's instructions." Listen clearly and it will take action. If you can’t learn it, just watch it. It’s about to start. You’ll know after watching it.”

"Oh? Then I'm even more curious."

Abe turned his head with interest and saw the two men making final preparations before the battle.

"Filio, this flame queen lizard is the partner I am focusing on cultivating. He is still very young and should be as strong as your dream monster. He is good at high-speed combat and poison-fire coordination. You can use it with all your strength and let me see Considering your true strength, the principal and I are looking forward to your results."

Pointing to his Pokémon partner, Thornton introduced him generously, and did not hide his advice to Filio in his words.

Although he was not satisfied with Philio's training attitude, Thornton admired him for his completely different temperament every time he stepped onto the court.

"Okay, Mr. Thornton, then I would like to ask you to give me some advice. The Dream Demon is trained in a relatively balanced manner, with a little bit of knowledge in all aspects, so you have to pay attention."

Fillio nodded with a smile, and introduced his partner with pride and subtlety.

This was the first time Little Dream Demon made a move in the duel class, and both it and Philio paid great attention to it.

Philio's eyes narrowed slightly, and the situation of the Flame Queen came into view.

Fire Queen

gender: female

Attributes: Poison, Fire

Features: corrosion

Energy accumulation: 42

After the two nodded, another combat class teacher who came over temporarily to help serve as the referee waved the instruction flag in his hand and loudly ordered:

"Thornton vs. Fillio, one-on-one unlimited battle, now, start!"

"Dream Demon, charge forward, high-speed star!"

"Flame Queen, charge over and shoot down!"

At the beginning of the battle, the two of them chose to attack at the same time. The two agile Pokémon, one high and one low, rushed towards each other like arrows.

Countless star-shaped energies took the first step, lying in front of the Flame Queen Lizard, leaving it with only two choices, to stop, or to be hard-topped.

"Hold it, rush over!"

Thornton, who is a combatant, has a tough style. As soon as he gave an order, the Flame Queen continued to charge despite the hail of bullets.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom"

Continuous bursts of star-shaped energy exploded on its body. The damage each time was not serious, but the cumulative effect made it very painful for the flame queen lizard, which was not known for its physical strength.

Fortunately, after a round of firepower poured out, the not-too-distant distance was shortened to within a few millimeters.

Although I don’t understand why Philio wants to fight against the Flame Queen Lizard, whose agility is higher than that of the Incubus, Thornton will obviously not miss such a fighting opportunity.

"Shoot down!"

The man of steel as blazing as fire roared.

The dark energy condensed on the flame queen lizard's palms, heading straight towards the dream monster that had stopped and floated in mid-space at some point.

However, as he was looking straight ahead, he did not see the smiles on the lips of Filio and Dream Demon.

"It's now, subterranean attack!"

The cracks in the space were torn apart, within a few millimeters, and relying on the gap brought by the space distance, the Dream Demon hid in a field that the Flame Queen Lizard could not perceive.

However, just for a moment, the Dream Demon appeared again behind the Flame Queen Lizard, with a small purple-black ball of light condensing in front of it.

"Flame Queen, spray flames!"

A look of pride appeared on Hei's face, and the Flame Queen also simultaneously turned around in mid-air.

The fire dragon, which had been gaining momentum for a long time, went straight to the dream monster.

"bang"

However, under the surprised eyes of Thornton and the Flame Queen Lizard, the dream monster's "body" exploded and turned into countless small fragments, falling from the sky.

"No, it's a substitute! Flame Queen, poisonous gas!"

Exclaiming, Thornton immediately made a judgment and reaction.

Defending cannot resist the penetration skills with space fluctuations such as Submersible Surprise Attack.

Don't be beaten passively.

Lavender smoke emerged from the flame queen lizard's body surface and diffused. This is a change from passive to active, using offense instead of defense.

However, such a strategy is of little use to Philio.

"Strange light and then electromagnetic waves."

Amidst the plain voice, a petite black figure emerged from the ground, and the colorful light waves shot at the flame queen lizard who had become a living target in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, facing the opponent whose eyes were in chaos but still swallowing the fruit hanging on his chest, the electric grid filled the air, passed through the barrier of the fog, and tightly entangled the Flame Queen Lizard who was about to fall to the ground.

"Zilla"

A weak electric current spread from the body surface of the flame queen lizard.

The severe paralysis severely restricted the Flame Queen's movements, but there was no other way.

"Hiccup! Stop it! Get in close!"

"Xia San, rush, misfortunes never come singly!"

Thornton, who was well aware of the horror of the ghost-type Pokémon's kite-flying tactic, fought back decisively. The pheromones, venom and useless juice of the tree fruit in the Flame Queen's body merged into one, turning into a wave of white mist, forcibly restraining the body. The numb feeling pressed towards the direction of the dream demon.

However, Philio, who issued the order simultaneously with him, once again calculated his judgment clearly.

Taking advantage of the density of the mist, Philio keenly grasped a gap near the ground. The Dream Demon did not hesitate, and approached the Flame Queen Lizard without hesitation. Countless shadows turned into sharp spears. , piercing the flame queen's body, detonating the electric current in the body.

"Puff. Crash"

"This!"

The terrifying power and chain reaction made Thornton dumbfounded, his fists clenched tightly, and he stared straight ahead.

The intense pain made the Flame Queen lizard look ferocious.

But like its trainer, it had a steel-like body and corresponding weight. It stood firm and not only did not fall, but instead pounced on the slightly unexpected dream monster.

"overheat!"

"Sarah!"

While roaring, the Flame Queen turned the toxins in its body into a combustion accelerant, poured everything on the Dream Demon.

"boom--"

Gas, flame.

The moment the two came into contact, there was a burst of fire.

In the way of both the enemy and the enemy, Thornton and the Flame Queen launched a decisive counterattack between the fire trainer and the Pokémon.

"bang"

In the black smoke, there was a soft sound.

The voice was weak, but it sounded like a thunderclap, resounding through the minds of everyone on and off the stage watching the battle attentively.

"It's a stand-in again!"

In the stands, Antoine exclaimed.

"It's not even close, it's fake!"

Abe also reacted. With his keen eyesight, he had already seen the dream demon observing the black smoke from a distance, with a blue light emerging from his body.

Misfortunes never come singly when used, there is no need to get close at all, from the moment of rushing forward, it is not a slight difference at all, but a calculation has already been made.

The outcome has been decided.

"Alright, Dream Demon, the final blow is the Shadow Ball."

"Marge!——"

Amidst the screams, the shadow ball, which was several times larger than normal and darker in color, was condensed into shape in an instant with the blessing of two meditations and the extremely condensed ghost-type energy infusion of the dream monster.

"Whoosh-"

"Detonate!"

"Get out of the way!"

The black shadow pierced the sky, shot into the thick black smoke that had just dissipated, and exploded on the body of the Flame Queen who hastily dodged.

"boom--"

The wave of energy swept across the entire battlefield, causing the outer protective barriers to tremble slightly.

There was no time to react, and the slender black body flew back like a cannonball.

"bang"

A dull sound appeared on the outermost barrier, causing energy to surge and fluctuate.

The Flame Queen Lizard's body was covered with small wounds, explosion burns, and huge purple-black scars that seemed to be branded on its chest, completely defeating its steely will and causing it to fall into a deep coma.

"The Flame Queen Lizard has lost its ability to fight. The winner is the Dream Demon!"

The teacher who served as the referee rushed from the sidelines. Along with him was the Happy Egg nurse hired by the school from the Joey family with a lot of money.

-

"I have to thank you for your mercy. If the shadow ball hits the target, the Flame Queen Lizard will inevitably lie down for several days."

After seeing the diagnosis result that the flame queen lizard had "all simple skin injuries except burns," Thornton was relieved, but also a little disbelieving and disappointed.

As a teacher, he was criticized by students.

It’s not only the Pokémon’s ability that is crushed, but also the tactical command.

"It's just a competition, just decide the winner. I wonder if I can challenge some of Mr. Thornton's main Pokémon next time? The little dream monster is also looking forward to it."

"March!"

Unscathed but slightly tired, the Dream Demon sat on Philio's shoulder and nodded enthusiastically in agreement.

"Of course there is no problem. But Philio, are you really a dream monster? Or a dream monster that just broke through? With this speed, reaction ability, and skill strength, is it really reasonable? Isn't it just recently? The one found by Partia?"

His cheeks twitched slightly, Thornton looked at the sweetly smiling little dream monster, and felt a chill in his heart for no reason.

"If it's fake, of course it's the little dream monster. It's not like you haven't seen it when it was a child." Philio's expression was a little funny, "It's just that I told you that my little dream monster has been cultivated more evenly. , a little bit in every aspect.”

"You call this a little bit?! Are you illiterate or am I illiterate?!"

Thornton's roar caught the eyes of the students who lined up off the stage.

"Yeah, I'm still just a little bit weak, but there's still a long way to go before it and I feel invulnerable."

"March!"

Philio answered calmly, and the dream monster also looked like it was a matter of course.

I'm afraid you two have some serious problem with your understanding of the word "little bit".

Secretly complaining in his heart, Thornton's expression became extremely weird.

"Teacher?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Filio asked tentatively, "Little Dream Demon and I hope to do some training on our own after school. Is it possible not to participate in this training camp? I will meet with you and An on a regular basis. How about asking Wan and the others to practice together so that their daily progress will not be delayed?"

"Huh?"

Thornton, who was slandering, subconsciously responded, and then woke up.

But thinking about it conversely, with Philio's current strength, the training camp was ineffective, and he would not be able to make progress faster if he worked hard on his own.

After thinking about it, Thornton not only lost the sadness of losing the game, but felt like he had found a treasure, and agreed: "No problem, I approve! But from now on, you will practice with us once a week to check the progress, and you can't relax."

"Then thank you, Mr. Thornton, I'll go first, and I still have an appointment with my friend."

Philio smiled slightly, took a few steps back, squatted down and touched Bogaman's little head, then stood up and left.

"Oh?!"

Thornton reacted belatedly. Just as he was about to say something, Philio and the little dream demon had already disappeared.

"Hey, this kid is ready, come here! Practice in groups! Antoine and Abe, you two practice with me!"

Seeing the subtle expressions on each of the students, Thornton's face turned serious, and he returned to his previous appearance, loudly greeting everyone to start training.

For a time, the sound of fighting could be heard on the battlefield.
