For trainers who enter the main competition, no one wants to fall into the loser group at the beginning, and no one wants to be directly eliminated by their opponents on such a stage.
And Gao Tianming defeated the strong with the weak, a miraculous reverse-attribute comeback that gave countless trainers who faced the cruel competition a glimmer of hope.
If others can do it, then maybe I can too.
Even if you can't qualify, it's great to stay in this arena for a few more rounds.
With this idea in mind, every trainer and elf tried their best on and off the field.
Chen Mo’s Round Land Shark is no exception.
Sand park at sunset.
"Shah..."
The sand hippopotamus looked at the round land shark with its eyes tightly closed in the sandstorm. There was a numb expression in its dull and stupid eyes.
When he received the request from the Countermeasures Bureau to be a sparring partner for a strange elf and help him learn something, Shahima was actually very nervous.
After all, before it was separated from the ethnic group, its strength was pretty good among the ethnic group, but it was far from being able to teach the younger generations.
Shahima was worried about whether he could do this job well.
In order not to let the round land shark and his trainer notice anything strange, the sand hippopotamus has been very nervous and deliberately pretended to be serious in front of the round land shark.
Although he would always be laughed at by the big fat purple elf later on, saying that he was not suitable to act cold, the sand hippopotamus really wanted to be as majestic as the hippo beasts in the tribe.
At least he can't let the human trainer find out that it's his first time doing such a job. After all, I heard that human trainers are very strict. If...
Shahima simply didn't dare to think about what kind of treatment he would receive after being exposed.
With an uneasy mood, Shahema officially started his days as a sparring teacher.
Surprisingly, the task given by the human trainer was very simple.
It was as if I had lived in the desert before and played with my companions.
In the process, you only need to use your innate talent to set off a sandstorm, and then create some trouble for the Round Land Shark in the sandstorm environment.
Relaxed and happy.
On the first day of training with the teacher, Shahema discovered that although Yuanlu Shark would be in a hurry at first when faced with the troubles he had created, slowly, as the training continued in the evening, Yuanlu Shark was gradually able to hide away. Open some attacks.
Although this speed of progress visible to the naked eye is exaggerated, it is not unacceptable to the sand hippopotamus.
But it was early morning the next day.
The sand hippopotamus couldn't understand it at all.
Surrounded by a sandstorm, the Yuanlu Shark seemed to have had an epiphany overnight and was able to dodge seven out of ten attacks.
Subsequently.
The human trainer increased his intensity, and the Round Land Shark was once again in trouble.
Just when the sand hippopotamus felt that it might take a long time for the round land shark to adapt to the fierce sandstorm environment, on the morning of the third day, the round land shark once again had an epiphany. Not only could it dodge various attacks, it could also stand passively from the beginning. The state has directly crossed over to being able to walk in a sandstorm while avoiding attacks. ….
Shahima was dumbfounded.
By the fourth day, the round land shark had begun to try to close its eyes and rely only on its own hearing and touch to avoid danger.
It can be said that at this point, Yuan Lusha's practice has basically been completed.
but.
As a sparring teacher, Shahema's whole mind was confused.
It tried hard to recall its experiences these days, but it seemed that it only did two things throughout the whole process, one was to start a sandstorm, and the other was to increase its intensity...
The sand hippopotamus was in a very low mood.
His career as a sparring teacher seemed to be coming to an end after he had done nothing.
Just when Sahema was about to pack up, pick up his Poké Ball, and prepare to return to the countermeasures station, the human trainer suddenly gave him another
I assigned myself a new task.
Help the Round Land Shark learn the real sandstorm trick.
Shahima was a little in disbelief.
It admitted that the learning ability of the round land shark was beyond the scope of its understanding, but setting off a real sandstorm was not an easy trick to learn.
Even if they are born with the ability to control sandstorms, it still takes a lot of effort to stimulate the racial talent from the sand hippopotamus family.
As for the Round Land Shark, although Sand Hippo doesn't understand it very well, it has heard about it from Gengar and Absolu. The Round Land Shark is only a few weeks old.
Is it really okay for a cub like this to learn such a high-level trick?
But the human trainer insisted on doing it, and the round land shark also looked determined.
Shahima, who was here to help, had no reason to refuse.
Time flies and we come to today.
It has been almost a week since Yuan Lusha began to understand the unique skills of practicing Sandstorm.
At this moment, Shahima had only one feeling in his heart.
abnormal.
So perverted!
The sand hippopotamus looked at the round land shark as if it were a monster.
Compared to the sand hippopotamus clan, which has the innate ability to control sandstorms and can be regarded as the darlings of the sand to a certain extent, the round land shark in front of them is more like the destiny elves who are truly favored by the sandstorm.
"Shah..."
just now.
After sustaining the sandstorm for more than ten minutes, the sand hippopotamus' physical strength was a little unbearable.
But the sand hippopotamus stopped releasing sandstorms and was about to tell the round land shark to rest for a while. It suddenly discovered that although its sandstorms had stopped, the sandstorms in the field did not stop. They only increased in scale and threat. It's a little smaller than before.
A terrible thought couldn't help but appear in Sand Hippo's mind.
The elf on the opposite side, who could only be regarded as a cub, successfully understood the sandstorm weather...
"Crack..."
Physical strength is currently the biggest shortcoming of the Round Land Shark. After nearly two minutes of continuous sandstorm weather, the Round Land Shark couldn't bear it any longer and reached its limit.
but.
The sandstorm stopped. Although the round land shark was panting, its black and white eyes were extremely bright.
"Crack!"
It was looking around excitedly for something. Finally, after seeing a certain figure, it could no longer suppress its emotions and rushed over quickly with its two short legs.
Open your mouth and jump. ….
Facing the round land shark that was heading straight for his head, Chen Mo responded very skillfully. He quickly stretched out his hands, used the power of the waveguide to catch the round land shark's attack trajectory, and caught the heavy small shark in advance with a chirp. He held it in his arms and rubbed the back of the little shark's head vigorously.
"Well done, Yuanlu Shark, I have always believed that you will be able to successfully understand the sandstorm!"
"Pika pika!"
Pikachu, who was on Chen Mo's shoulder, also stretched out its little paws and praised the round land shark.
at the same time.
Bibi Bird and other elves who were training next to them also ran over.
After Yuanlu Shark accepted the blessings from the elves, he couldn't wait to pull Chen Mo, shouting "Kaaao Kaao".
Chen Mo knows.
Little Shark wants to know who the opponent he will face tomorrow.
to be honest.
Little Shark was able to break through and understand the sandstorm at this point in time. In addition to his own efforts and Gengar's dream training, there was also pressure from the outside world.
Little Shark's luck was pretty good. The group he was assigned to could be regarded as one of the weaker ones among the eight groups.
But even so, as the group stage progresses, Little Shark can feel that his opponents are getting stronger and stronger, and he is becoming increasingly unable to do what he wants.
Quicksand Hell is not invincible.
baby shark as this time
In the Pikachu Cup, a very popular elf. Many players who entered the main competition had already thought of ways to deal with the little shark after learning that the little shark was in the same group as themselves.
Elves with strong skills and fast speed can choose to escape from the coverage of Quicksand Hell at the first time. Elves with excellent defense can directly bear the impact of Quicksand Hell, exchanging minor injuries for major injuries. Directly counterattack the small shark on the spot in the sandstorm.
Not to mention, there are some rock-type and ground-type elves who are minimally affected by the quicksand hell. With their superior physical fitness, they can drag small sharks to death.
Little Shark, who was extremely hungry for strength and victory, achieved today's breakthrough.
"Five minutes ago, the winner was just decided, and we were still acquaintances."
Chen Mo put the phone screen in front of Yuan Lusha.
The photo of the trainer shown above is the official named Mo Ji whom Chen Mo met when he was solving the trouble caused by the Dust Mountain Clan.
"Crack..."
Although Yuanlu Shark could not understand other information on the screen, as Chen Mo slid down the screen, Mo Ji's elf appeared in front of it.
The big yellow, round rat in the picture is still familiar to the round land shark.
Lada.
Rattata's final evolved form.
Gengar once showed Yuanlusha the battle videos of several elves with the strongest strength in the group, one of which was Moji's Lada.
Even though Lada is fat and seems to have difficulty moving, in fact, Moji's Lada happens to be the kind of spirit with relatively fast speed and reaction that the round land shark is not good at dealing with. Lada's signature lightning flashed, and it would be difficult to limit Lada's performance in the quicksand hell alone. ….
"Crack!"
Yuanlu Shark’s eyes were solemn.
Having just learned Sandstorm, I encountered such an opponent. Is this considered a test for it?
but.
No matter what, Round Land Shark doesn’t want to lose.
"Shah..."
A voice suddenly sounded from beside Yuanlu Shark.
Yuanlu Shark turned his head and saw only Sand Hippo looking at him with extremely complex eyes.
The round land shark successfully understood the sandstorm. For the sand hippopotamus, its mission has been successfully completed. People from the Countermeasures Bureau will come to pick it up and return it to the ecological park.
After getting along with each other for such a long time, Sahema still cares very much about the relationship between him and Yuanlu Shark, which is both a teacher and a friend.
It was silent for a long time, thinking of the round land shark's current target, opened its big mouth, and tightened the expression on its face again, pretending to be extremely serious.
"Shah!" (Don't lose!)
Gengar was floating next to the Sand Hippo. This time, it did not laugh at the Sand Hippo.
Although Gengar's dream training is very effective, the main reason why the round land shark can understand the sandstorm is to rely on the sand hippopotamus in reality.
It was the Sand Hippo that used Sandstorm World and Earth unreservedly all the time, and the Round Land Shark was able to successfully understand the weather-related trick of Sandstorm.
The round land shark staying next to Absol knew this very well, so it regarded the sand hippopotamus as its teacher from the bottom of its heart.
It looked at the sand hippopotamus and nodded seriously.
"Crack!" (I will definitely win!)
Early next morning.
As the group stage reaches the later stage, the game schedule is no longer as urgent as it was at the beginning, and the Round Land Shark can get enough rest time every day.
but.
Considering that he met a difficult opponent today and the departure of Sand Hippo, Yuanlu Shark did not train as hard as usual, but followed Chen Mo and arrived at the arena early.
"...In that case, I'll go up first. Gengar, you and Yuanlusha stay in the player lounge. When the game starts, go straight to the field. Don't run around!"
"叏思!"
Geng Gui showed a rather serious expression, and while promising, he waved goodbye to Chen Mo and Pikachu.
After Chen Mo and Pikachu completely disappeared from sight, Gengar immediately put on a playful smile again and blinked at the big-eyed Yuanlu Shark next to him.
"叏思!" (Let's go!)
"Crack..."
"叏思!" (Don't be afraid, I'm here!)
In just a blink of an eye, Geng Gui put aside the promise he had made to Chen Mo and quickly walked out of the arena with the Yuanlu Shark.
There was still some time before the first round of the game in the morning, and there were not many people surrounding the arena.
And Geng Gui, who had just arrived near the snack stall, became a well-deserved star in the surrounding area.
"Teacher Geng Gui, you came here very early today. Would you like some of my freshly made meat buns? They are absolutely delicious!"
"Teacher Gengar, it's a bit hot today, how about some ice cream?"
"Look, let me tell you, I will definitely meet Mr. Mo's Geng Gui here! Teacher Geng Gui, can you take a photo with me? It's free of charge!"
"It's comfortable. With Teacher Gengar here, it's cool here even if there are so many people around."
With the shouts of "Teacher Geng Gui", Geng Gui felt like he was about to float up. He subconsciously took out a stack of bills from his body and skillfully conducted money transactions with the vendors one after another.
"Kaaao..." (Where did you get the money?)
"叏Si." (Children, don't ask.)
Taking the ice cream handed over by Gengar, Yuanlu Shark listened to the creaking sound coming from the fan next to him, and his immature eyes showed a little confusion.
at this time.
Only a crisp sound was heard, and the fan speed became slower and slower.
Among the crowd, someone didn't know who shouted in confusion.
"power cut?"
Immediately afterwards.
Then someone discovered that not only was the power outage in this small area, but the large screen playing advertisements outside the arena also dimmed at this moment.
The ultimate stitching freak
