"...The winner is Seo Hui!"
After briefly checking the status of Ren Liangjun's Bada Huo, the referee announced the result of the game, and the scene suddenly sounded like a roaring tsunami.
"Thank you for your hard work, Badahu."
"Hey..."
Bada Huo's expression was extremely depressed.
Ren Liangjun looked at Bada Huo's appearance, sighed softly, then took out the elf ball and said softly.
"Let's take a rest first, Bada Butterfly."
"Hey..."
After using the elf ball to retrieve the injured Bada Butterfly, Ren Liangjun listened to the stopped footsteps in his ears, and then stood up slowly, showing an admiring smile.
"Brother Hui, you and Bada Huo cooperated really well. We lost."
"Thanks for the compliment."
Ah Hui simply replied, looking at Ren Liangjun, hesitant to speak.
Ah Hui still remembers some words Chen Mo once said in the live broadcast room when he was a science trainer.
Trainers are a group of guys who express their beliefs through elf battles.
Ah Hui feels that at this stage, he has not yet reached the level of understanding the opponent's beliefs through battle. However, it can be seen from the details in the battle that Ren Liangjun likes and cares about his big butterfly.
Therefore, Ah Hui became even more confused.
'I regret choosing a green caterpillar as the initial elf to cultivate. What does this sentence mean?
But that's it.
Opposite him, Ren Liangjun suddenly smiled innocently.
"Brother Hui, haven't you heard of trash talk?"
"..."
In many sports events, many players often use various taunting words before or during the game to influence the opponent's mentality during the game.
This can also be regarded as a method of psychological warfare.
To a certain extent, the battle between elves also tests the mental state of the trainer and the elves themselves.
But Ah Hui never expected it.
So quickly, some people used trash talking and psychological warfare in elf battle competitions.
"no way."
Ren Liangjun spread his hands.
"Compared to Brother Hui and your Bada Hu, our physical strength is far behind. Brother Hui, don't blame me for being mean."
"..."
Ah Hui held it in for a long time, but finally waved his hand and said, "It's okay."
"Brother Hui, you are so kind."
Ren Liangjun smiled "hehe" and handed Ah Hui a good guy card while extending his right hand in preparation for a handshake after the game.
"You kid, you are really a damn talent."
Ah Hui smiled helplessly, and then held his hand.
Just when the hands of both sides were holding together, Ah Hui suddenly noticed that Ren Liangjun's eyes did not fall on him, but raised his head slightly and looked at the blue sky above the ring arena.
"The Green Caterpillar and I really want to continue on this stage..."
Ren Liangjun murmured.
He looked at Ah Hui again, his expression full of helplessness.
"Although the green caterpillar family grows very fast and can basically evolve into its final form in a short period of time, the inherent racial restrictions have also become a problem that most bad butterflies cannot get rid of."
….
"Ba Dahu and I are thinking about training hard and strengthening ourselves every day, but so far, the progress we can see is getting smaller and smaller."
"In addition, insect-type elves have various weaknesses. I already noticed it in the later stages of the qualifiers, and the opponents are becoming more and more difficult to deal with."
"Now, Badahu and I have finally figured out who we are. There is a high probability that we will stop at the group stage."
Outside the arena.
Ah Hui looked at Ren Liangjun taking Badahu to the treatment station, silently
Still speechless.
Insect-type elves have many advantages. The cultivation method is simple and the evolution cycle is short. Elves like green caterpillars can evolve to their final form in a very short time by eating leaves, and gain considerable real-time combat potential. force.
but.
Bug elves also have many shortcomings.
The lifespan is short and the upper limit of the race is low, especially the latter point, which can be seen from the players who have advanced to the Pikachu Cup main competition.
On the seed list, the players at the back are okay. From time to time, you can see a trainer with an insect elf. But the further you go, especially when you enter the range of a hundred or more, the insect elf will There are only a few trainers left.
Um.
So little that Ah Fai can remember the name of every insect trainer.
As if sensing Ah Hui's somewhat depressed mood, the big butterfly flying above Ah Hui's head softly let out a cry of "咒伊".
Ah Hui raised his head, glanced at Bada Huo who was looking at him, then looked at the direction where Ren Liangjun disappeared, and said softly.
"Insect elves have many limitations, but I will never regret conquering the green caterpillars."
"Xiaojun, just wait, I will prove to you that on this stage, we insect trainers can still reach the end and even win the championship."
——
The group stage of the Pikachu Cup adopts a double-elimination system and is divided into eight groups a~h. Each group has a total of 128 contestants. After extensive screening, the two finalists who advance will be determined.
This is a very cruel group stage, and the difficulty of advancing is many times higher than the previous qualifiers.
The ranking of the morning games is basically based on the competition group, which is arranged according to the previous performance of each player in the qualifiers. If the seed list circulated on the Internet is used as a reference target, the morning games are generally arranged by the lower ranked players. trainers and compete against higher-ranked trainers.
This arrangement is also the reason why Ren Liangjun feels that there is no hope of promotion.
He has fallen into the loser group. Even if he is lucky enough to survive a few rounds, the opponents he faces will only get stronger and stronger. The entire competition system arrangement depends entirely on the strength of the trainers and elves, which is not bad compared to the qualifiers. Random online matches with a bit of luck are completely different.
certainly.
The arrangement of this competition system is not completely without luck.
After all, there are many keys that affect the victory or defeat of the elves, among which attributes play a large role.
If you are lucky and your own elf can restrain the opponent's elf's attributes, then even if you are slightly weaker in terms of hard power, there is still hope of defeating your opponent.
….
"But why is my opponent in the first round in the afternoon a Rumblestone?"
Gao Tianming stood on the battlefield, watching his opponent throw a rumble stone from the elf ball, and his expression suddenly became a little desperate.
In this Pikachu Cup, the Pokémon used by the vast majority of the contestants are insect-type Pokémon and grass-type Pokémon, which are easier to find and cultivate.
Gao Tianming's initial elf was a fire-attributed Charmander. Facing these opponents, he went on a killing spree in the qualifiers.
Even when faced with opponents whose physical strength is far stronger than his own, Charmander can successfully defeat his opponents by relying on his attributes.
So far.
Gao Tianming was also one of the winners who advanced to the main draw.
Although in the eyes of many people, Gao Tianming's luck is really good and he has never encountered an inverse attribute battle in the qualifiers, but due to the records of Gao Tianming and Charmander and their excellent on-the-spot performance in the battle, those who compiled the seed list People still put Gao Tianming in the position of about one hundred.
After all, many elves who advanced to the main competition were still restrained by Gao Tianming's Charmander.
but.
Gao Tianming never expected that in just the third game of the group stage, he would encounter someone like Long Longshi who not only had attributes of restraint but also
He is also far superior to his opponents in terms of hard power.
"Damn it, I remember that the opponent of Longlong Stone in the last match was a Four Seasons Deer. The Four Seasons Deer with grass attributes couldn't beat a Longlong Stone with ground and rock attributes. How did that brother advance to the main match..."
Gao Tianming kept complaining in his heart.
But while his expression became more and more solemn, the fighting spirit in his eyes also became more and more intense.
"I want to defeat Teacher Mo and become the world's number one trainer. How could I fail here? Since your Rumble Stone can defeat Shiki Deer by inverting its attributes, my Charmander can do the same."
Gao Tianming opened the elf ball.
"Go, Charmander, show our common belief to the opponent in front of you!"
White light emerged, and a small fire dragon with excellent growth and a tail burning with blazing flames appeared in the field.
Like his own trainer, Charmander remained fearless even when faced with an opponent that was completely stronger than him. When he came out, he let out a childish roar towards the Rumble Stone opposite him.
"Kah!
! "
at the same time.
On the official commentary stage, Chen Mo faced audiences from all over the country and even the world, preparing to explain the game.
"Okay, player Gao Tianming has finally sent out his elf, Charmander, and the game should start soon."
After hearing these words, the barrage suddenly surged in the entire official live broadcast room.
[Charmander versus Rumblestone, I already know the ending without watching it. 】
[To be honest, I still think it’s outrageous. I checked it several times with the Elf Illustrated Book. The attributes of Charmander are all fire attributes. Teacher Mo, when you made the Charmander page of the illustrated book, you really didn’t give me any information. The fire dragon has one less dragon attribute? 】
[Gyarados: Laughing so hard, do I also have one less dragon attribute? 】
[Trainer Gao Tianming and his Charmander, I have been here since the last time they appeared in Teacher Mo’s live broadcast room. The opponents I met in the qualifiers were either grass-type or insect-type and were so controlled by Charmander. The dead elf, now that he meets the rumble stone, his luck is at an end. 】
….
[Teacher Mo, can you tell us about Charmander? It's really unreasonable, let alone Gyarados. After all, it is already an elf with water and flying attributes, but Charmander obviously only has a single fire attribute, so why not add a dragon attribute to it? 】
Chen Mo glanced at the barrage on the screen next to him and felt helpless.
No matter which world we are in, we cannot escape this problem.
After briefly sorting out his thoughts, Chen Mo said slowly.
"Actually, I've already done some popular science about Charmander before. Since there are still so many viewers who are not familiar with Charmander, I'll do it again."
"First of all, what everyone is most concerned about is the attribute issue of Charmander. I am very responsible to tell you that the display in the Elf Guide is not wrong. Charmander is an elf with a single fire attribute."
"This division of attributes originates from another world. Although we have not found the specific reason yet, judging from the current performance, the division of attributes often depends on the energy in the elf's body."
"As we all know, elves don't have certain attributes. They only have energy of certain attributes in their bodies. The energy in elves is actually extremely complex. For example, my Pikachu was able to learn to move at high speed when he was still a little Pichu. This is because At that time, Pichu sensed the super energy in his body and was able to initially use the super energy."
"But this kind of super energy is insignificant compared to the electric energy in Pichu's body. Therefore, Pichu is classified as an electric spirit."
"Similarly, the same goes for Charmander. Most of the energy in its body is extremely pure fire-attribute energy. Therefore, Charmander is classified into the category of fire-attributed elves."
"So, don't think that some elves look like dragons, that is, elves with dragon attributes. But in fact, they may be like Charmander and Stormtrooper.
Carp dragons are elves that have the appearance of a dragon but no dragon attributes. Of course, don’t deny the identity of dragon elves because some elves look completely incompatible with dragons. Maybe that elf has the dragon element in its body. The energy is far beyond our imagination. "
Having said this, Chen Mo paused, and the barrage was already filled with demons dancing wildly.
[Charmander, Gyarados: Is this classification reasonable? It's totally unreasonable. My name already has the character "dragon" in it. But you said that by dividing the attributes, you exclude both of us. That's awesome! 】
[Fossil pterosaur: Two big brothers, don’t forget me! 】
[I remember when Teacher Mo gave us the popular science about Gyarados, he also said that Gyarados was in another world and was considered by the people there to be the true form of the dragon recorded in ancient books. Is that it? It turns out that it doesn’t even have dragon attributes, which made me laugh to death! 】
[I’m complaining about Charmander and Gyarados! 】
[I know the elf that Teacher Mo mentioned later that does not have the appearance of a dragon, but has the attributes of a dragon. I often look through the elf illustrations, and I remember that there is an elf named "Qixi Blue Bird". Its appearance has nothing to do with a dragon, but its attributes are. Dragon attribute plus flying attribute. 】
[I also know this. There is an elf named "Desert Dragonfly" who is in a similar situation. It is obviously a dragonfly, but it has noble dragon attributes. 】
[Speaking of dragon-type trainers, I remember that the girl named Mo Yu who appeared in the live broadcast room before seemed to have participated in this Pikachu Cup with a real dragon-type elf, Yaya, and her results seemed to be pretty good. . 】
Seeing the barrage lines passing before his eyes, Chen Mo shook his head slightly.
Looks like a dragon but not a dragon.
The ultimate reason, according to Chen Mo's previous life point of view, is that their fate was not good. Who is called Charmander? They were born in the first generation of Pokémon.
The ultimate stitching freak
