Knights of the Elf World

On the third day of the Quartz League, Xichen drew the rock venue. His opponent this time was the beast master, Xiao Ming, whom he had met once before!

"Now we are at the Quartz League Rock Field, the fourth match of the day! Players from both teams have entered! The green team is still the familiar player from Sinnoh, Shinwajin, the younger brother of Sinnoh champion Sirona, and Xichen, who is known as the youngest doctor in the Pokémon League!"

"Oh! Xichen! Xichen! Xichen!"

The audience suddenly erupted in cheers. All the basic information about Xichen had been dug out and reported by the unscrupulous reporters Team Rocket, and everyone knew Xichen's identity.

"Oh, I was thinking of keeping a low profile." Xichen held his forehead helplessly. In order not to bring pressure to other players, he gave the Quartz League staff the simplest version of his information, which only included his birthplace. He did not expect it to be announced by the Rockets, which directly increased Xichen's popularity.

However, feeling the warm atmosphere on the scene, Xichen couldn't help but smile.

“This feeling is pretty good.”

"And his opponent is contestant Xiao Ming, who is from Vermilion City and is known as the Beast Master!"

Compared to Xichen, Xiao Ming's popularity is much lower.

"Both sides can use three Pokémon. Whichever side's Pokémon lose all their combat capabilities will lose. Now, the fourth match of the rock field officially begins!"

After explaining the rules, the referee waved the flag.

"Xichen, we meet again." Xiao Ming said to Xichen on the court.

"Well, I didn't expect to see you here. Are you still doing your so-called training to transcend attributes?" Xichen crossed his arms and looked at Xiao Ming with interest. He found that Xiao Ming's personality had changed a lot from the first time they met. He no longer had the arrogance he had before.

"..."

"Heh." Seeing Xiao Ming silent, Xichen sneered: "Okay, I get it."

"That's the path that Sandsang and I chose!" Xiao Ming suddenly said, picking up the Poké Ball in his hand: "This time, I will show you the results of our efforts. Go, Nidorino!"

"The first battle is up to you, Sandslash King!"

"Is it Sandslash? Nidorino is using poison needle!" Xiao Ming looked at Sandslash who was confronting Nidorino in a daze. Speaking of Sandslash, among the contestants of the Quartz League, he dared to say that no one knew more about it than him.

However, he had no idea about Xichen's Sandslash, so he chose to test it out first.

"Sword Dance, block it!"

The Sandshrew waved its claws and began to spin, deflecting all the poisonous needles.

"Charge forward, Nidorino, use horn charge!" Seeing that long-range attacks didn't work, Xiao Ming gave Nidorino the order to charge.

"Sand-moving."

Looking at Nidorino rushing towards him, Sandslash found the right moment and threw a handful of sand at Nidorino's face. Nidorino was blinded by the sand and suddenly fell into a panic, stopping in front of Sandslash, at a loss.

"Tearing Claw!"

Xichen would not miss any opportunity to attack. Chuanshan stretched out his claws, which were glowing red, towards Nidorino and knocked it away.

"Calm down, Nidorino, and listen to my command!" Nidorino did not lose his fighting ability after landing, but his eyes were still blind, and he was spinning around restlessly. At this time, Xiao Ming took out a whip and whipped it in the air, and Nidorino gradually calmed down.

"Oh? Not bad." Xichen showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes when he saw this scene. He didn't let Sandslash use Earthquake to eliminate the opponent just now, just to see what Xiao Ming would do. It seems that the opponent's Pokémon is indeed well-trained.

"That's it, Nidorino. Nothing can stop you now! Use random attacks!" Xiao Ming waved the whip again, commanding Nidorino to rush towards Sandslash again.

"Earthquake." Since he saw what he wanted to see, Xichen had no need to hold back. He directly took Nidorino away with an earthquake.

"Nidorino loses his ability to fight!"

The referee raised the flag.

"Come back, Nidorino, I'll leave it to you next, Butterfree!" After taking Nidorino back, Xiao Ming sent out the second Pokémon, which was Caterpillar's final evolved form, Butterfree.

"Come back too, Sandslash. You did a great job. Since our opponent is Butterfree, then it's up to you to take on this battle for me, Beedrill!"

Xichen also took back the Sandshrew and sent out his own gateworm.

"Butterfree, use Psychic!" Xiao Ming took the initiative and used his psychic skills to restrain Beedrill.

"Move at high speed!" Xichen certainly couldn't let the fragile Beedrill take the attack head-on. He saw Beedrill moving quickly in the air, turning into a series of afterimages, and Butterfree's powerful mental power couldn't hit it at all.

"In that case, use Silver Cyclone!"

A silver whirlwind suddenly blew up on the field, and the Beedrill had no choice but to be hit by the silver whirlwind.

"Huh?" Xichen discovered that Beedrill had obvious scars on his body and frowned, "Tinted glasses, this Butterfree has the same hidden trait as Beedrill."

Tinted Glasses, when a Pokémon with this trait uses a skill that has an undesirable effect on the opponent, the damage is doubled!

Although it sounds powerful, Xichen still thinks it's a bit useless. Isn't it just returning to the original damage? Why not just use the skill that restrains the opponent?

"Sword dance, blow it."

The Beedrill spun rapidly, causing the airflow to disperse the silver tornado.

"Take advantage of now, Butterfree, use your Psychic Power!" Seizing the opportunity when Beedrill was strengthened, Xiao Ming immediately ordered Butterfree to launch an attack, and this time it hit Beedrill.

"Very good!" Seeing that the attack hit, Xiao Ming showed a happy expression on his face, but the next moment, the Beedrill that was hit suddenly turned into a puff of white smoke and dissipated!

"What!" Xiao Ming's expression froze: "It's actually a clone!"

"A good assassin will not easily expose himself to the enemy's sight!" Xichen showed a mysterious smile: "End it, Beedrill, use Swallow Return!"

"Oh no! Butterfree is behind me!" Beedrill suddenly appeared behind Butterfree. Xiao Ming's reminder was still a step too late. When Butterfree turned around, Beedrill's two needles, which exuded a dangerous aura, had already landed on Butterfree.

I saw Beedrill and Butterfree fighting each other, and finally Butterfree's wings stopped flapping and it fell weakly from the sky.

"Ba Dahu has lost the ability to fight!"

Xichen wins another game!

"Huh~" After Xiao Ming took back Butterfree, he took a deep breath and took out the last Poké Ball.

"Go, Chuanshan King!"
