Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 9 Everyday Extraordinary and Self-Presentation

Ke Bolang fell to the ground, losing his fighting power. The long-winged gull was hovering above, and a sea-blue energy ball in front of him was stored but not released.

Beside Ke Bo Lang, the short-haired young man, who was nearly half a head shorter than him, held a sharp stone against his neck and raised his hands with a bitter look on his face.

In the distance, a panting mosquito-repellent frog looked helpless facing the water-leap fish that was also looking a little gray but still breathing calmly.

······
Set the clock back 2 minutes.

Cobolang, who struggled to get up after landing, quickly moved in front of Merck, preparing to block the long-winged gull and Lai.In the front, the mosquito-repellent frog noticed something bad, showing its rich experience. After giving a warning, it knew that the attack was not allowed, and without waiting for instructions, it quickly retreated and returned to the trainer's aid.

However, retreat will not be easy.

Shuiyueyu, who was connected to Lai's mind, had already understood the tactics and used a rock seal to quickly hit the retreating ones. Although the mosquito-repellent frog blocked most of them with a slap attack and successfully evaded the rest, the retreating ones The opportunity has been lost.

"Rockfall!" came a distant voice.

The rock-based energy accumulated in the sky above Shui Yueyu, although it was still a bit unskilled, it quickly took shape.At the same time, the boulders that had been crushed by the mosquito-repellent frog also flew up again, forming a combined attack on the scene.

At this time, the mosquito-repellent frog advanced instead of retreating, and rushed straight towards Shuiyuyu. After being hurt by the rockfall under the hard roof, he came closer and used Taishan to press the top, directly hitting Shuiyuyu who could not move away.

However, this counterattack was correct tactically, but it lacked value in practice. The water leaping fish, which is stronger than the iron claw lobster, faced the heavy pressure of the mosquito-repellent frog, tightened its muscles and chose to fight head-to-head. They collided together, and the huge collision force stirred up the fine sand around them.

The sand and dust dissipated, and the water leap fish shot a zero-distance foam light, repelling the mosquito-repellent frog again.The mosquito-repellent frog was about to get up and attack again, but the other side had already decided the winner.

During the fight between the water leaping fish and the mosquito-repellent frog, Cobolang, who had already consumed most of his energy, was helpless when faced with the long-winged gull, which had no worries and chose to fly in the air for long-range attacks. He could only cope with the frequent attacks from water guns and fierce winds. , no power to fight back.

Lai, on the other side, showed physical fitness that stunned the onlookers. He used the cover to close the distance and fought with Merck in close combat. He relied on amazing speed and strength for his size, as well as simple but pragmatic fighting skills. , and quickly suppressed Merck, who was much stronger than himself.

Facing the trainer's crisis, Ke Bolang, who was nearby, could not sit idly by. After dodging a violent storm attack, it changed direction, went around from behind Rai, used its whirlwind kick, and flew up with a direct attack. Rai's head.

A strong wind hit, and at the moment when he was about to hit, Lai's center of gravity sank as if he had foresight. He dodged the first and heaviest blow with a horse step, and then put his arms in front of his body to block the subsequent attack. He retreated for more than ten steps before he stopped.

Len lowered his arms and moved slightly. He felt sore and numb, but his strength was reduced.However, he was not angry but happy, because at this time, there were all gaps behind Ke Bolang.In mid-air, how could the long-winged gull miss this opportunity? It briefly accumulated strength and unleashed a wave of water that was even more powerful than before. The heavy water flow hit Ke Bolang, who had lost all his old strength and had yet to generate new strength. He was knocked down hard and couldn't stand up this time.

Merck found it unbelievable that Lai, who was more than ten years younger than him and whom he had watched grow up, already had such strength.But before he had time to think too much, there was a slight chill behind him. At some point, Lai had once again moved out of his sight, picked up a sharp beach stone, and pressed it against his back.

Although the mosquito-repellent frog in the distance is still confronting the water jumping fish, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, and the victory or defeat has already been decided.After a short silence, there was applause from around, Yongren took the lead, and the guards onlookers slowly stepped forward.The Water Leap Fish and the Long-Winged Gull ran to Lai's side one after another. They won a real battle for the first time, which made them feel happy, but more importantly, it was the unprecedented emotional fluctuations from the trainer.

Lai dropped the stone and looked at his hands. A strange "air flow" seemed to flow from his hands toward his torso and spread throughout his body.In such a fun and enjoyable fight, Lai felt the real sense of "victory" for the first time. This was different from the "success" and "progress" he had sought before, but a feeling that seemed to have a certain meaning. Unique stimulation of burning sensation.The numbness in his arms gradually faded away, and the soreness became clearer and kept coming back, but it did not make him feel uncomfortable at all, but instead brought a stronger sense of fulfillment.He had never felt so powerful, and for the first time he realized that he enjoyed winning so much, or in other words, enjoying this carefully designed, accurately implemented, and fully devoted process of pursuing victory.

Lai has always been polite and restrained, sometimes even a little distant, whether facing family, friends or strangers. This is due to his maturity and calmness in personality on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also comes from his attitude towards external things. Alienation, in daily life, appears as contentment, covering up the deep-rooted boredom stemming from familiarity.But today, a thin veil seems to have been lifted from his self under the surface, bringing about a high-spirited form that is more like a "young man".

After recovering his thoughts, Lai knelt down and hugged his two partners.Lai felt that in his chest, there seemed to be three hearts beating at the same time. One was strong and strong, obviously coming from the calm but competitive Shui Yue Yu, and the other was light and bright, no doubt cheerful and free-spirited, with the spirit of exploration. and the long-winged gull with a pioneering heart.

In the close connection between hearts, they felt each other's joy and conveyed their recognition and gratitude to each other. An invisible boundary was naturally broken inadvertently.

A vague energy or something else seemed to be surrounding them and slowly seeping in.

······
After a short celebration, Lai stood up, walked up to Merck, shook hands with him, and exchanged a few words with each other. Merck, who was originally depressed, also became cloudy.

To be fair, today's battle is not so much a victory of strength as a victory of planning.In the face of carefully formulated tactics, Merck's response was timely and reasonable. Whether it was the initial attack, or the subsequent decisive division of the battlefield, and his own response to Rai's attack, he made the best decision based on the intelligence he already had. choose.

The only problem is that while Shui Yueyu has shown a stable and powerful strength that is not surprising, Long-winged Ou's growth and Lai's quality have exceeded everyone's expectations.

Walking to the center of the crowd, he faced the brave man with a serious expression on his face, and the escorts behind him who looked at Merck and him with mocking expressions on their faces.

Lai smiled and asked: "Uncle Yongren, can I be responsible for this task now?"

　Hurrying and hurrying, I finally completed this segment within today.

　　But until now, the personality of "Lai" has not been truly revealed, let alone fully revealed.

　　From the author's point of view, the core of this volume is in the title. At the same time, the author also believes that some discussion of human philosophy should be included.From one world to another, from one life to another, what can be done is adaptation, not perfect integration. This is crucial in the author's opinion.

　　So, what is adaptation?It is the acceptance of things.What you can accept should be accepted, and what you can't should be shelved and buried.However, adapting does not mean forgetting.As mentioned before, the human brain is a library. You don’t have time to search it from beginning to end, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.This existence is the core of the content of this volume. We must face it and integrate it, not just "overcome" it.Only in this way can you discover your true self.In fact, I feel like I have already said too much. If I say any more, it might be a spoiler.

　　In general, the author's writing is purely based on interest, and I want to present a complex, diverse, harmonious, and integrated world that I recognize.From this point of view, it would obviously be very pleasant to still get support from readers.If not, or if there are differences of opinion, you are welcome to discuss it at any time. Contentful communication will also be pleasant, and there is no need to reach some consensus.

　　I am very grateful to everyone who can see this.
