My elves are all gifted

After Joey walked into the medical room with those Poké Balls, Li Rui turned to Kona and said.

"I want to go to the Lantern Mountain Volcano to see if there will be any flamingos coming to the volcano to restore the fire energy."

Kona's glasses flashed a light, and then he asked Li Rui, "Could it be that the trainers on the Twin Islands yesterday were you?"

Kona glanced at Nancy again, "Three trainers, two females and one male, it really is you!"

"Yes, it's us." Li Rui nodded in acknowledgement.

Kona then asked, "So, Rui, have you captured Articuno?"

Li Rui nodded, "Yes, luckily I succeeded in taming him."

"Oh?"

Kona showed a hint of surprise when he heard this. This was not something that could be summed up by just luck.

Those Alliance investigators said that Lance also went there, and that they failed because of their appearance, and they were able to resist Lance for a while.

This means that the strength of this Articuno is at least at the king level.

And the fact that Rui was able to subdue the king-level Articuno means that he already possesses a king-level Pokémon!

Kona thought for a moment and said, "Can you let me see Articuno? If I hadn't come across a suitable target, I would also like to capture an Articuno."

Suitable target, does this mean that Kona has encountered Articuno, but his strength level is too high?

Li Rui nodded slightly, "King of Kona, how about a fight?"

"Okay." Kona nodded in agreement.

Soon, Joey came back and placed the tray with the Poké Balls on the front desk.

"Your elf has recovered."

"Thank you Miss Joy."

After expressing his thanks, Li Rui walked out of the Elf Center and found an open space not far from the Elf Center.

"Kona Tenno, let's use the one-on-one rules for the fight."

"it is good."

Kona said briefly, then threw out the Poké Ball, "Go, Metapod."

After coming out, Metapod was nailed directly to the ground, and he didn't have much mobility on the ground.

The strength of Metapod is at the king level, and its characteristic is continuous attack. It is definitely a dragon-slaying shell.

Li Rui took out the Poké Ball and threw it out. After the Poké Ball opened, a big blue bird appeared in the air.

"Hey~" Articuno let out a long cry, then flapped its wings gently and stared at Metapod.

Passersby who had been paying attention to the battle here because of Kona, gathered around after seeing Articuno.

"Articuno~!"

"No wonder he dared to challenge the King of Kona, he turned out to be the legendary Articuno!"

"It seems that he is also a very powerful trainer. This battle will definitely be very exciting!"

"Really been waiting!"

"Who has a camera? Take some pictures. We must share Articuno's heroic appearance later!"

"I'll go back and get the camera right away. I have to record this game!"

Those who live close to home turned around and ran home.

There were also people who carried cameras with them and had already taken out their cameras to take quick photos.

"Game start!"

Nazi walked to the referee's seat and said coldly.

Li Rui immediately shouted, "Articuno uses the freezing ray."

Kona also chooses to confront head-on because she can see that Articuno's level is not as good as that of Metapod.

"Metal Shell uses Ice Cone."

Articuno opened its mouth and shot out a freezing ray, while Metapod shot out dozens of ice cones to meet the attack.

Although both were ice-type moves, the two skills collided to create sparks, and finally exploded with a bang.

Although Articuno has some legendary bonuses, his level is not as high as Metapod, although Uranus is only one level higher.

But his height span is definitely much greater than that of the elite level.

If divided into four levels: early, middle, late and peak.

If Articuno is at the primary or intermediate level of the King of Kings, then it is no surprise that Kona's Metapod must be at the late or even peak level of the King of Kings.

In the battle of ultimate moves, Articuno couldn't gain any advantage at all.

Articuno uses moves like Freeze Beam, Blizzard, and even Absolute Zero.

However, he was ignored by Metagross, and it was Articuno who had to dodge the icicles instead.

After all, the ice cone, with the support of Metagross's continuous attack feature, is a powerful trick with a power of 125.

Li Rui frowned, "Articuno uses high-speed movement."

"Metapod uses Break Shell!" Kona is worthy of being the king of ice, and he shows his sharp edge in battle.

Articuno's speed increased by two levels, but Metapod's physical attack, special attack, and speed all increased by two levels.

Although the defense and special defense are reduced by one level, it is still worth it.

Li Rui knew that Articuno could not withstand the icicles now, after all, Metapod's physical attack had doubled.

"Articuno uses Hail."

Articuno used hail very quickly. As soon as Li Rui's voice fell, snowflakes appeared in the sky and then quickly turned into ice cubes.

Li Rui suddenly noticed that another layer of light armor appeared on the body of the Iron Shell.

He used the shell-breaking technique again!

Is it so cruel? Li Rui was shocked. Now the armored Bet's defense and physical defense were only half, but the special attack, physical attack and speed were increased by two times.

That is three times the original value!

"Articuno uses primal power!"

"咓～" Several brown pebbles condensed in front of Articuno, then shot out and hit Metapod directly.

But Metagross is not slower than Articuno now, at least the speed of using his moves has surpassed Articuno.

"Metapod uses rock critical attack." Kona's cold voice sounded.

More than ten rocks appeared in front of Metagross and shot towards Articuno.

The primal force was defeated in an instant by the rock critical strike, and Articuno was also affected.

With just this one strike, Articuno's physical strength was depleted by half.

Li Rui knew he was going to lose, but he still had to fight until the last moment.

"Articuno uses Divine Bird Slam."

Li Rui changed his tone slightly and thought to himself, he wondered if Articuno could understand!

Articuno circled in the air, then transformed into a giant blue bird and swooped down.

Even if the mobility-impaired Metagross increases a lot, it is impossible for it to avoid attacks.

Therefore, Metagross once again used the Rock Critical Attack to quadruple Articuno's power.

Just as the divine bird was about to collide with the rock, Li Rui was about to warn it, but Articuno's body suddenly fell straight down.

Having barely avoided the rock attack, Li Rui showed joy on his face, "Articuno uses freeze-drying!"

Freeze-drying only has normal damage to Ironclad, but after Ironclad's defense is reduced by half, the normal effect is enough.

Kona smiled faintly and said, "Metal Shell uses Protect."

A protective shield appeared, firmly blocking the freeze and drying, and Li Rui's wishful thinking came to nothing.

After that, Li Rui couldn't find any opportunities at all, so he simply took back Articuno.

"King Kona, I give up."

Kona also took back the Armored Shell, walked up to Li Rui and said, "Ah Rui, your potential is really great. I am very optimistic about you."

"Thank you, King Kona."

Li Rui was no longer modest as this year's rookie trainer.

Kona's favor is well deserved.
