Pinnacle of the Stars

Chapter 4 4. First Battle!

Lu Qiu knew that as a travel trainer, it was normal to be challenged on the road.

After all, the duel of elves is the mainstream that determines the direction of this world.

Being bullied, come to an elf duel;

Make a movie, come to an elf duel;

To make friends, you still have to have an elf duel first.

There seems to be no problem it can't solve.

Although it has spawned a lot of crime, in general, very few people in this world can say "no" to the duel of elves.

Otherwise, how could the league spend a lot of money every year to broadcast game programs.

"Come and fight!"

On the one hand, seeing that Lu Qiu didn't respond for a long time, the boy in shorts swallowed and shouted again: "If you lose, hand over your grilled fish!"

Lu Qiu froze for a moment.

He looked at the food in his hand, then turned his head to look at his partner, and finally couldn't hold back a chuckle, "Okay, if you lose, I'll give you the grilled fish."

"But I only have one Pokémon, so the duel rules are 1v1."

"Okay!" As if he was afraid that Lu Qiu would regret it, the boy in shorts quickly responded, "Then you put out the fire first, so you don't burn it."

Shaking his head, Lu Qiu got up and stood far away from the boy in shorts.

The other party looked younger than himself, obviously a rookie trainer who had just acquired Pokémon.

After all, only after the age of ten, according to the law of the alliance, people can have their first Pokémon.

As for the duel invitation, although Lu Qiu has the right to refuse, but dueling with other people's Pokémon is itself a kind of accelerated growth for oneself.

As a trainer, he has no reason to shirk.

This just allows him to see the level of confrontation between newcomer trainers recently.

He hadn't seen a traveler for a long time since his hometown's economy had collapsed.

"I'm sending Xiangwei Meow."

As he said that, Lu Qiu looked down, and saw that Xiang Wei Miao jumped over to the field full of fighting spirit after responding.

Although there are only a handful of people who have fought with others, under his own cultivation, even if Xiangwei Miao's strength does not exceed the rookie level by much, it is definitely in the strongest batch at this stage.

Therefore, unless the opponent kicked off with a slap in the face, Lu Qiu really had nothing to be afraid of.

"In that case." The boy in shorts on the other side shouted imposingly: "Go, little Rada!"

With a flash of red light, a purple figure leaped out of the poke ball. After looking left and right, he lay down on his own and began to comb the beard around his mouth.

Little Lada, a rat Pokémon, is one of the more common species in the wild in the Johto area.

In terms of body size, there is not much difference between it and Xiangwei. Although there is no concept of cat catching mice in this world, when the trainers are at the same level, few people think that the former can win.

There is no other reason, but preconceptions about commonness.

"Defeat the opponent in one go!" Since there was no referee and there was a distance between the two, after the elves of the two sides stood on the field for five seconds, the boy in shorts took the lead in issuing the command, "Little Lada, use the dash! "

A cold light flashed, and little Rada's eyes instantly turned cold.

but.
'No momentum ah. Lu Qiu commented with a smack of lips in his heart.

As the owner of the breeding house who has served the players, he may have seen Kyoka more often than Little Rada.

But even so, the looseness that can be seen at a glance also shows that this is not a particularly powerful opponent.

Therefore, between releasing water and going all out, Lu Qiu chose a compromise method.

"A series of slaps."

As the move that he has used the most on Xiangwei Miao, Lu Qiu has a deep understanding of the chain of slaps.

Although I don't know how much the strength is usually restrained, it is enough to block the little Lada.

It was expected to be good, but there was a big surprise when it was actually used.

Perhaps it was because he seldom accepts combat commands, so after hearing Lu Qiu's order, Xiangwei Cat reacted half a beat late, so that it was embarrassed when little Lada pounced in front of him. He flicked his tail.

"Meow."

In a panic, Xiangweimaow was knocked back a few steps, slid on all fours and slid for a long distance before regaining his footing.

The blow didn't hurt, but it seemed a bit embarrassing in front of the servant.

This also made Xiangwei Meow furious.

"That's it, keep using the dash, don't give the opponent a chance to react!" On the other side, seeing the first attack, the boy in shorts excitedly continued to give instructions.

Lu Qiu, on the other hand, didn't appear too anxious, but comforted him: "Don't be nervous, pay attention to the opponent's movements, and prepare to fight back."

The attributes are the same, and under the suppression of all aspects of physical fitness, the success of the little Lada is a miracle in the mistakes.

Accidental, but not fatal.

After seeing the problem, Lu Qiu decided to leave the timing to Xiangwei Miao himself, and what he had to do was to provide him with a direction to deal with.

Right now, the distance between the two has been shortened. Without the speed of running, it is difficult for the collision to exert its due power. Therefore, it is not difficult to stop the opponent.

If he had been in command, Lu Qiu might let little Lada use his tail wagging to create opportunities first, and then use his power skills to decide the outcome.

Both sides are attacking men, and the one who makes the first move will definitely suffer a big loss.

On the field, Xiangwei Miao took it seriously.

In the face of a crisis, instinctively, the body responds first.

I saw it retreating and turning around, flicking its tail on the ground, the move came after the move, and slammed left and right at the little Lada who was rushing in front of him again.

"Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The bell on the tip of the tail rang crisply, and it hit the side firmly with four consecutive swings, and the added strength of the last blow directly sent the little Lada flying.

It could be seen that, affected by the interweaving of anxiety and anger, Xiangwei Cat subconsciously exerted all his strength on Little Lada.

As a breeder who grew up with Xiangwei Cat, Lu Qiu naturally noticed the change in his mood in a short period of time.

And he also knew how terrifying the talent of his Xiangwei cat was.

Under perfect play, few elves of the same level can withstand its attack.

"Little Rada!"

"Stop it, Xiangwei, the other party has lost consciousness."

Seeing the slight white light on Xiangwei's tail, Lu Qiu called out and quickly stepped forward to hug him in his arms, pressing his hand on the opponent's forehead, and then pressed back the faintly waiting move.

After this brief battle, Lu Qiu could tell that his partner had serious problems.

On the other side, the boy in shorts also ran over to hug his elf after seeing that his elf had lost the ability to fight.

"Meow."

After scratching the forehead of Xiangwei Meow, which was fluttering in his arms, to calm its irritable mood, Lu Qiu stepped forward and called the boy in shorts, "Come here together."

"My name is Lu Qiu."

Looking down, Lu Qiu confirmed that little Lada just lost consciousness due to a sudden heavy blow. Although he was physically injured, it was not to the extent that he needed to go to the elf center for treatment immediately.

Therefore, after a short rest, little Rada woke up and regained his spirit.

It's just that his head was a little dazed, and there was a little bit of flinch and fear in his gaze towards Xiang Weimao.

Elves tend to be very intuitive.

Compared with humans, they are more likely to perceive the hidden dangers around them.

In Lu Qiu's arms, Xiangwei Miao looked at it with unkind eyes.

'You are dead. '

Little Rada shivered violently, and shivered into her trainer's arms.

'It's going to eat me! ’ For a split second, Rada Jr. thought she felt right.

"Here, let's eat together. We caught a lot." Back at the river, Lu Qiu blew on the flames again, divided the fish caught by Xiangwei Miao into two, and took the time to take a look at Xiaola. up to the body data.

It's mediocre, nothing bright, and the direction of cultivation is a little bit off. In the hands of trainers, elves with similar situations are not uncommon.

Unless you pay a breeder to customize a proposal from the beginning, newcomers who only have a little contact with elf knowledge will always have to go through some mistakes that are extremely difficult to avoid.

For example, eating tree fruit indiscriminately is one of the most common mistakes.

"Thank you."

After the boy in shorts took the grilled fish, he first handed one to little Lada, and then he ate it by himself rather depressed, "My name is Mingshu."

The boy in shorts is obviously a little autistic.

After all, he was the one who sent out the duel invitation, and as a result, his elf was defeated in one round.

Even so, the other party still gave him the food, and it was so delicious.

If he hadn't been hungry for several days, he would never have done such a shameful thing.

No matter how young a trainer is capable of fighting elves, they must have reached the ten-year-old age stipulated by the alliance. Before that, people can use but not own Pokémon. Class competitions or challenge gyms.

Therefore, although Ming Shu is much shorter than Lu Qiu, the latter also treats the former as his peers.

"You are so good, I think you are even better than gym trainers." Zhizhi looked at Lu Qiu and said, "My little Lada has never lost a single round in front of gym trainers."

Lu Qiu did not refute this.

Such a trainer has already developed a vision to see through the strength of newcomer Pokémon. For opponents who are too low-level, they will release water to varying degrees, so as not to hurt the confidence of the challenger.

Just like Lu Qiu's choice just now, if Xiang Weimao is allowed to attack with all his strength, let alone defeat, it is not impossible to even kill Little Lada directly.

The power of Xiangwei Cat's moves is not at the fledgling stage like its fighting instinct.

From Ming Shu's performance and words, Lu Qiu also understood to some extent the strength that a rookie trainer might have.

Facts have proved that not everyone is as perverted as players, and it is not uncommon for travelers with weak initial Pokémon.

The only ones who can match their strength are petty bourgeois families who have received high-quality Pokémon from the alliance.
