Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 543 Failure is the nourishment of life (15)

Contrary to Mary Luli's expectations, the next round of competition, which was supposed to be its highlight moment, ended with the opponent's abstention.

As the first match between 64 and 32, Lai and the prankster waited on the stage for a full 15 minutes, but did not see the trainer scheduled to appear here.

Afterwards, they learned that in another battleground in the previous round, two players of similar strength fought until the last moment, both of whom were seriously injured. Even with the league's top medical treatment, it would not be possible to recover in a short time.

Originally, he could also choose three less powerful Pokémon, but he was worried about his partner who stayed in the elf center, so he finally gave up the game that was impossible to win.

"Okay, I know you're unhappy. There's nothing you can do about it, right? How about letting the Lizard King play the first half of the next game and you play the second half?"

In the room, Leni comforted Mariluli, who was still sulking, by stroking her furry little head.

"Mary~"

Mariluli turned her head, secretly annoyed that her long-planned entrance moves and celebrations were in vain.

Maybe if you don't do it, you can still maintain some strong posture.

Rai, who was holding it on his lap, cursed.

······
However, this is just a small episode.Without the game, Lai just took the time to give Gao Guang, who had bad words about him in the first round, some new special training to contribute to his growth.

At night, the lakeside is no longer as quiet as usual, but has a slightly chilled air.

On the second day of the competition, Gao Guang showed a rare momentum. Dou Li Mushroom and Hunting Papilion Butterfly came off the field in person and swept their opponents with unstoppable momentum.

As for the other five, they remained as calm as ever. No matter how the opponents in front changed their tactics, they could not prevent themselves from being pushed by a Pokémon.

The only one who offered some resistance was Furong's opponent, a quasi-King trainer from the Kalos region. He was quite young and probably participated in this conference on the age line.Years of experience have made his lineup very tight, and he has enough tacit understanding. Except for the limited talents and insufficient resources of a few Pokémon, which has slowed down the progress, there are no major problems. He is a typical outstanding civilian. Trainer.

His trump card Sun Rock put some pressure on Fleur's Dream Demon.But it was just a little bit. As this King Pokémon became serious, the battle quickly ended.

With complicated emotions, the older young man opposite looked at the young man who was more than ten years younger than him and stretched out his hand bitterly.

Fu Rong, who was still in her naive girlhood, obviously couldn't understand the bitterness. She lightly shook hands with her opponent, then lay on the night demon again, and flew back to the stands, leaving only a lonely background to return alone Player channel.

For such a trainer, failure is the normal state of life, even if he is already good enough among the same people.

In a relatively developed area like Carlos, the relatively outstanding education level and relatively affluent social life have given them the opportunity to grow, and the young people in front of them have also seized such opportunities.

Five gym-level Pokémon that are not weak, and one quasi-king Pokémon that has experienced hundreds of battles and has a deep bond with him. No matter where they are placed, they have nothing to do with the word weak. It is a pity that as a As an individual, he still has not been able to break through the limitations caused by his growth environment.

Unlike Fleur who happily returned to the stands, Ledo gave the people in front some looks.

Many people he is familiar with, if not for his appearance, may be at this level, or even worse.

However, with his actions, the fate of these people is changing little by little.

And what he wants to do is to change more people.

It is not an intuitive change, but creating an opportunity to provide a wider path for those who have the ability to do these things.

History has limitations, and so do people.Lay's own education convinced him of this, and he never shied away from his own emotional limitations.

······
On the afternoon of September 9th, Caiyou Conference No. 13 was on the battlefield.

The battle after the top 32 is also called the final championship. Each game is a complete 6-on-6 battle.

When one of the Pokémon on the field loses combat effectiveness reaches three, the battle wheel will be rotated again to change the field. During this period, unless both Pokémon lose combat effectiveness at the same time, the winning side cannot replace the Pokémon in the battle. The Pokémon must be replaced. It is placed on another battlefield and can only be replaced after the battle begins.

In the second and final contest on the first day of Battlefield No. [-], Gao Guang will face Dara, a similarly aged tactician and inventor who is well-known in the Hoenn region.

In terms of absolute strength, Dara is better than Gao Guang, who was reborn on the Island of Rage, but the battlefield is not a numerical competition of strength. The two's on-the-spot status, Pokémon's flash of inspiration, and tactical arrangements before the battle , will determine the direction of the battle.

In contrast to his slightly rude words and deeds, Dara is a man of action who combines theory with practice, and is equally rich in tactical knowledge and combat experience.

At the beginning of the battle, his Bulbasaur gave the Coal Turtle a painful lesson because of its attribute restraint and some omissions. His deft vine whip unexpectedly pulled the Coal Turtle to the ground, followed by precise sleeping powder.

After a set of combined attacks, when the Coal Turtle woke up, there was not much energy left.Although Gao Guang came to his senses and burned Bulbasaur with a predicted hot wind, he was still defeated and lost an important opening.

Then, Bulbasaur appeared, and the two Pokémon faced each other head-on. With constant consumption, they defeated Darla's Bulbasaur and evened the score, but also lost a lot of status and the initiative to rotate. .

Dala seized the opportunity, took out Kairos, who was one step away from the quasi-king, and confronted Frog Flower head-on, seized the opportunity, broke through Frog Flower's defense, fought in close quarters, and made Frog Flower lose its balance with a hell roll , and finally knocked down Bulbasaur with a guillotine.

In this way, the two sides went back and forth, and the score quickly reached 4 to 4.

With the activeness of the bamboo hat mushroom, Gao Guang recovered part of the decline, and the two sides stood on the same starting line.

Their fifth Pokémon are both Fighting-type, namely Iron Palm and Monster.

The iron palm fighter does not suffer from physical strength, but the strange strength comes from all four arms, occupying the advantages of speed and angle.

The two sides exchanged injuries for injuries, and finally came back from the dead to engage in close combat, ending in mutual destruction.

Seeing this, Lai secretly felt worried for his disciple.

Except for the small mistakes at the beginning, Gao Guang has made full use of the knowledge he taught. The tide aura of the Iron Palm Warrior is also quite similar to that of the Swamp Monster. It can be said that the situation has some advantages at this point.

But he wasn't sure whether the other party would have that frozen bird.

Just as he was thinking about it, two voices sounded at the same time:

"It's up to you, Desert Dragonfly!"

"The decision is yours, Frozen Bird!"

The red and white Poké Ball exploded with a bang, and the legendary Pokémon circled and flew out. The aura of the King enveloped the entire venue.

As a good friend of Dara, Frozen Bird temporarily became his Pokémon on a critical occasion in his life and came here to fight for him.

······
Facing an opponent whose attributes were passive and whose strength was obviously stronger than his own, Gao Guang had nothing to do.

After a short stalemate, the desert dragonfly was caught by the Frozen Bird, who had developed more attributes, and broke the situation with a freezing beam, and then chased after it fiercely, and finally lost.

······
"To be fair, there is no room for improvement."

Outside the field, looking at the silent disciples walking towards the elf center, Lai followed them unhurriedly.

"Yeah." Gao Guang's voice was a little dull.

"But looking at this whole scene, you make me very proud, Takahiro."

Patting Gao Guang's shoulder, Lai continued to move forward, but Gao Guang froze in place and fell behind.

"Really, brother?"

After a while, he came after him.

This was the first time that Lai praised him so directly, which made him a little unresponsive for a moment, and even more flattered.

"Of course, I never tell lies to you. In addition, when I face Dara in the next game, I will use Sticky Dragon, and he thinks so too. Take a good look at how to defeat that kind of person who doesn't have much skill. The so-called 'Level [-] God', the legendary Pokémon, has a very famous name, but that's all."

"Mino!"

Nian Meilong jumped out of the elf ball, touched Gao Guang's head, and nodded vigorously.

"Mary Mary!"

Mariluli jumped out and patted Gao Guang's thigh, indicating that he would make the decision for him.

"Of course, it won't be long before I think you can defeat him yourself." Pointing to Gao Guang's waist, Lai's tone was full of expectation, "Today's failure will be nourishment in your life, and today's opponent, After a while, he may no longer be your opponent. Time is both fair and partial to many people. At least in the future of you people, time is always on your side."
