September 25, 9 a.m., Hack Elf Academy training venue, Battlefield No. 1.
Although there is still half an hour before the official match of the Baby Cup, dense crowds of spectators have already gathered in the venue.
After all, there will be a battle next, which can be said to be the focus of this Baby Cup.
The big devil Mark's Bulbasaur fights against the fire user Elmo's burning bugs.
The audience present included not only the current freshmen and nearby residents, but also many second- and third-year seniors, teachers from some colleges, and even some local gym members and league officials.
At this time, the students at the viewing venue had already started a lively discussion.
"You guys are talking about whether Elmo has a chance of winning in this battle. I watched Elmo's battle video in the qualifiers. His burning bugs are very strong, and he even defeated a Squirtle with reverse attributes."
"After all, he is a candidate for the championship, but compared to Mark's Bulbasaur, the gap is still a bit big, right?"
"Indeed, it seems that the gap is a bit big, but I can't say that Elmo has no chance of winning."
"How to say?"
"The first is attribute restraint. Mark's Bulbasaur is good at grass-type moves, while the attributes of the Burning Insect are fire + insect. It is a double restraint. The effect of grass-type moves on the Burning Insect will be weakened twice.
On the other hand, Elmo's Burning Bugs are good at fire attacks. The fire attribute is restrained against the grass attribute, and the attack is enhanced.
Between increases and decreases, the gap between Burning Bug and Bulbasaur will narrow. In addition, I heard that Elmo has a secret move that he has not used yet, so I think this battle should be a 4-6 split. "
"Who's four and who's six?"
"It must be Mark the Great Demon King Six. This is because I heard that Mark the Great Demon King may be a researcher-type trainer. He may not be very good at fighting elves, but is good at cultivating elves. Otherwise, I think Mark the Great Demon King may be 80% or even 90% Chances of winning.”
"A researcher-type trainer? Where did you hear that? Isn't he the first in the overall ranking of freshman admissions?"
"You can see on the freshmen forum of Harker College that although Mark ranked first overall in admissions, not many people paid attention to him. In the past two days, with the release of the Baby Cup video, a lot of Mark's information has been exposed. Since he came out, he has never been to the college's battlefield, nor has he studied any practical courses. Apart from being in the library every day, he goes to the college's experimental center."
"Experimental center? Doesn't that require an assistant qualification certificate?"
"Well, actually I have a little tidbit. Mark has applied for a double major and is already a trainee researcher. Have you seen Mark's information? It is said that his two-in-one magnet monster is his research result."
"The normal little magnet evolved into a three-in-one magnet. Although his two-in-one magnet is a mutated elf, it must be useless, right?"
"I thought so at first, but I recently heard news. Do you know what the two-in-one Magnemite will become after it evolves?"
"A weakened version of the self-destructing magnet?"
"Four-in-one Magnemite?"
In the face of several people's inquiries, the student wearing glasses smiled and said nothing. In anger, several students and elves around him kept pushing him.
In fact, not only the surrounding students, but also the cleaning staff who was eavesdropping on the conversation a few meters away were also furious.
I wish I could slap him several times in a row to make this student get rid of his bad habit of speaking mid-sentence.
The cleaner is not a real cleaner. He has emerald green hair under the blue hat.
As for why the hair is emerald green.
On the one hand, it is personal preference, and on the other hand, it is because the man disguised as a cleaner is Cai Chen, a cadre from Amakusa Club.
Members of the Amakusa Club like to dye their hair green.
The reason why Cai Chen came here disguised as a cleaner was, firstly, to monitor the actions of the Thunder Group, and secondly, because he had a passion for talent and decided to kidnap Mark and develop him into a member of the Amakusa Club.
That's right, not only the Thunder Group wants to take Mark into their pocket, but Amakusa Club as well.
In fact, Amakusa didn't originally pay attention to Mark.
All of this was because the Amakusa Club had sent back the news within the Thunder Group, and the Amakusa Club began to pay attention to Mark, and then had thoughts about Mark.
"The initial elf is a grass-type Bulbasaur, and it is such a powerful Bulbasaur. It is really a waste to join the Thunder Group. It should become a member of our Amakusa Club. It is just a bit troublesome to capture, but..."
Cai Chen looked at the battlefield below the stands and murmured to himself, suddenly smiling.
"However, it would be much easier if you were a researcher-type trainer..."
As we all know, researcher-type trainers are generally weak and can be captured relatively easily.
In addition, researcher-type trainers have a relatively weaker will than normal trainers.
There are many trainers who would rather die than give in, but there are not many researchers who would rather die than give in.
At this time, there were many researchers captured from the Yilan Principality in the Amakusa base. Although these researchers were talkative, they surrendered and accepted their fate very quickly.
Of course, it would be too inefficient to directly make Mark surrender by taking him captive.
The reason why Cai Chen wants to arrest Mark is actually to let Mark take the Amakusa seed.
The so-called Amakusa seeds are special seeds developed by the Amakusa Society in the past two years, which allow the user to gain the will of Amakusa and become a member of the Amakusa Society.
The weaker the user's physique and will, the better the effect will be and the faster it will take effect.
Well, it was tailor-made for Mark.
"The only problem is Raymond..."
Cai Chen's pupils shrank, and he saw Raymond's figure in the players' rest area below the battle field.
As an old enemy who had fought against Raymond no less than ten times, although Raymond's appearance and temperament changed drastically, and he even became bald, he still recognized Raymond's identity at a glance.
According to his investigation these days, Raymond and Mark have an unusual relationship, and it is very likely that he has secretly developed Mark into a member of the Thunder Group through gentle means.
Raymond knew both him and Amakusa very well, and his strength should not be underestimated.
The last time they fought, Electric Shock Monster had already reached the peak of elite level. At this time, it is estimated that it has broken through to senior level. Coupled with the thunder and lightning resonance, it is estimated that even ordinary master-level trainers will not be able to match it.
While thinking about it, the arena suddenly started to boil.
A boy with fiery red hair walked out of the opposite corridor. It was Mark's opponent in this battle, Elmo, a person with special abilities of fire.
Grass and fire attributes are inherently difficult to deal with.
Cai Chen, a cadre of Amakusa Club, glanced at Aimo with disgust, and suddenly noticed a louder noise in the arena.
Cai Chen turned his eyes and saw a tall young man wearing a white researcher's coat walking towards the corridor on the other side of the arena. It was Mark.
Like many viewers, Cai Chen also unconsciously exclaimed.
The reason for the exclamation was not the white researcher coat Mark was wearing, but the magneto mechanical arm embedded on the back of Mark's right shoulder.
Hundreds of Magneto elves work together closely to form a huge and flexible mechanical arm.
And Cai Chen finally understood why the Thunder Group valued Mark so much.
"It turns out that's the case. The two-in-one magnet monster has evolved into this. With such a mutated thunder and lightning elf, let alone the thunder group, even I am a little excited."
"However, the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole stalks behind. Mark will eventually become a member of the Amakusa Society."
"At that time, Mark's understanding of the lightning elves may be a sharp blade for us to deal with the thunder group..."
Looking at Raymond who was handing mineral water to Mark while chatting with him at the bottom of the stands, Cai Chen unconsciously pinched the secret pocket on his waist, where the Amakusa Seed was located.
Cai Chen did not explore the seeds of Amakusa for too long.
The preparations are not very complete, today is not the time to take action...
