Then, Karen butler led them to the inner hall. Since Dawn and Xiaoyun joined them, he introduced them as he walked:
"Battle Chateau is to provide a place for gentlemen and ladies trainers to compete and a platform for mutual communication."
"Here, every trainer can call each other a knight, and the emphasis is on both politeness and strength."
Passing through a corridor covered with red carpets, a carved wooden door opens, revealing a luxurious living room covered with velvet sofas.
There are some people wearing cloaks and Badge sitting here and there in the hall, and there are also many trainers on the second floor interacting with each other.
This place is more like a dance party than a battle venue.
Karen The butler stood at the door, cleared his throat, and said loudly at a volume that everyone in the hall could hear clearly, "My lords, Lord Barry and Lord Sanpei, with the title of Viscount, are here!"
At the reminder from the Karen butler, the trainers who were chatting in low voices all turned their heads to look.
Xiaoyun couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, this detail is really in place, even when you enter the door, you have to shout a viscount, which really fills up the cards.
As a new trainer, no one will be confused.
Sanpei quickly bowed slightly to say hello to everyone.
But Barry took two steps forward, put his hand on Poké Ball on his waist, and looked across the audience:
"I am Barry, rank of Viscount."
"Of all of you here, who is willing to join me in a battle?"
This momentum can be said to be just right, and he really looks like a viscount.
But it's such Swagger's behavior that people can't help but want to beat this guy violently, but the trainers present are not surprised, as if this is an extremely common thing.
Then, a white glove was thrown at Barry's feet.
"Viscount Wayne, accept your challenge."
A thin young man stood up from the sofa. He was wrapped in a thick royal blue cloak with silver thread on the collar, giving him a cold feeling.
At this time, the maid just stepped forward quickly and made an inviting gesture to the two of them:
"Two adults, please follow me to the battlefield."
Following her guidance, the glass doors next to the floor-to-ceiling windows opened in rows, revealing stands for people to watch.
And below is the battleground.
"Oh, it's quite impressive."
Xiaoyun and Dawn came to the stands and looked at the inner hall that suddenly became quiet, and their interest in watching the excitement was aroused.
Needless to say, such a striking feeling really makes the original battle more exciting.
Not long after, Barry and Wayne were standing at opposite ends of the field wearing the same blue velvet cloak.
The unique Viscount Badge is pinned on the shoulder of the cloak, which makes him look a bit aristocratic.
"Please give me more advice."
Wayne nodded slightly to Barry, and Barry also stopped smiling and became serious.
"Please give me more advice!"
Wayne raised his wrist. "Go, Avalugg!"
Bang!
The white light dissipated, and a small mountain-like Pokémon appeared in the field.
Its entire body is made of ice and rock, and it looks like a giant turtle with its neck curled up. There are three dark brown cracks on its back, and several sharp icicles hang down from its abdomen.
"It's your turn, Hitmonlee!"
On the other side, Barry also sent Pokémon.
Hitmonlee jumped onto the field, the muscles in his legs tightened, and he was ready to attack at any time.
Hitmonlee VS Avalugg!
Wayne's eyes narrowed and he took the lead in giving orders:
"Avalugg, use Ice Shard!"
Several sharp ice particles instantly condensed from the ice cracks on Avalugg's back and shot toward Hitmonlee with a sound of breaking through the air.
"Hitmonlee, use Low Sweep after avoiding it!"
Barry's voice has regained its former confidence. Anyway, as long as the opponent is not Xiaoyun or Elite Four, he will dare to hit you.
Hitmonlee's figure suddenly lowered and moved left and right.
While dodging Ice Shard, he stepped violently to the ground, used the recoil to spin Splash, and whipped his right leg toward Avalugg like a whip!
"Avalugg! Use Iron Defense!"
Wayne responded quickly, and the originally thick ice shell instantly glowed with metallic luster.
Bang!
Ice shards flew, but Avalugg didn't move at all, but the shock made Hitmonlee take half a step back!
"Now, Avalugg, Lock-On targets Blizzard!"
Wayne Seize the gap and order.
"Ice rock!"
Avalugg suddenly stuck his head out, opened his mouth, and a strong wind wrapped in ice spurted out!
Phew!
Hitmonlee couldn't dodge and was hit from the front. His whole body was instantly covered with a thin layer of ice, and his movements were obviously sluggish.
"Hitmonlee, use Blaze Kick Acid Armor ice!"
Barry's voice suddenly rose, and he was beaten up by Xiaoyun. He was very angry now!
Wayne Right, I'm sorry!
Hitmonlee roared, and his right leg suddenly ignited with orange-red flames, and the high temperature instantly steamed up Mist!
It approached again with scorching steps, wrapped around Heat Wave's right leg like a fire dragon swinging its tail, and kicked Avalugg hard.
Diable Jambe!
"Avalugg! Use Rock Tomb!"
Avalugg roared, and several rocks protruded from the surrounding ground, trying to trap Hitmonlee!
But Hitmonlee used his amazing explosive power to do a backflip before the rocks closed up, successfully evading the blockade.
When he landed, he stamped his right leg hard on the ground, and the flames surged again. With this momentum, Blaze Kick hit Avalugg hard on the side.
That's where the ice shell is weakest.
Diable Jambe!
Flanchet Strike!
Boom boom!
Avalugg let out a suppressed groan, and his huge body shook violently, the effect was remarkable!
Wayne sweated on his forehead and shouted, "Avalugg, hold on! Use Icicle Crash!"
"Hitmonlee, jump up, Blaze Kick again!" Barry seizes the chance to win.
"Ice Rock...!"
Avalugg raised his head and let out a roar, and a swirling whirlpool of ice and snow rolled up around him. Countless sharp icicles condensed from the vortex and hit the field like a heavy rain.
And Hitmonlee has soared to the highest point, and his body is twisted into a full bow in the air. All the strength of his body is concentrated on his right leg that is burning with flames.
Dragon Ascent Kick!
Rumble!
Just before the icicles were about to cover the field, Hitmonlee's heavy kick accurately hit Avalugg's head!
The latter's huge body crashed to the ground, stirring up a cloud of smoke and dust.
"Avalugg loses the ability to fight, Hitmonlee wins!"
"According to the rules of Battle Chateau, Lord Barry has won ten games in a row in the Viscount rank and will be promoted to Earl from now on!"
The maid just stepped forward quickly, holding a brand new green cloak, and respectfully put it on Barry's shoulders. "Congratulations, Mr. Barry Earl."
"Hey, I won easily. It's too unchallenging."
Barry straightened his back proudly, his vanity reaching its peak.
"Everyone, please give me a warm round of applause for the wonderful showdown between the two knights!"
Karen The steward took the lead in applauding, instantly igniting the atmosphere in the audience, and applause of praise suddenly erupted in the stands.
Dawn applauded and said, "This atmosphere is really a bit like Pokémon Contest's scene, with both battle and atmosphere!"
Xiaoyun nodded and said, "It's not bad. It's suitable for practicing and seeing the styles of different trainers. It's a good social venue."
Barry returned to the inner hall and caught a glimpse of Xiaoyun sitting on the sofa drinking tea. He deliberately pulled the green Earl cloak over his shoulders, cleared his throat and said:
"Hey, isn't this classmate Xiaoyun who has never seen Master Earl? Why don't you bow quickly? Pay homage to me!"
Xiaoyun glanced sideways at him. "Are you drifting?"
"What's going on? I'm Earl! Say your name is Barry from now on, and I'll protect you!"
At this moment, Little Blondie looks like a nouveau riche. If he hadn't just shown his good strength, he would have been beaten long ago.
"Tch, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."
Xiaoyun couldn't stand the bad behavior of this guy, so he turned around and walked towards Karen: "Uncle Karen, what's the process for participating here?"
"Want to participate? I want to participate too!"
Dawn also came over, she felt it was quite novel here.
Karen Butler bowed slightly with a gentle and respectful smile, "Two adults, Battle Chateau's rules are very simple. You only need to find a knight of the same rank as yourself and invite him to compete."
He paused and continued, "But this is the first time for you two adults to come here. If you want to start the first competition, why not leave it to me to arrange it."
Even though he knew that the two of them did not even have the lowest baron rank, the butler's courtesy was not compromised at all, and the respect in his tone made people feel comfortable.
Xiaoyun nodded secretly: This service is indeed excellent, no wonder it can retain so many trainers.
Soon, under the arrangement of Karen, a boy who looked like a novice trainer appeared in front of Xiaoyun.
Since neither of them has a knighthood yet, they are not even qualified to wear the lowest standard cloak in this battle.
But Xiaoyun doesn't care, it will be there soon anyway.
The boy's name is Karu, Pokémon is Froakie.
Xiaoyun already had some calculations in his mind, and threw out Poké Ball in his hand. "The decision will be yours in the debut battle!"
What he sent was the newly conquered Shiny Froakie!
"It's Shiny Pokémon!"
Karu's pupils suddenly shrank, he took a deep breath and said, "The opponent is also Froakie, we can't lose!"
"Use Water Gun!"
His Froakie immediately opened his mouth and shot out a jet of water.
"Smokescreen!"
Xiaoyun's command was crisp and clear, and Froakie immediately spat out a thick white mass of Smokescreen, instantly covering the center of the venue.
"No, I can't see it!"
Karu suddenly panicked, and sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.
This is how novice trainers are, they will be in a hurry if the battle situation changes slightly.
But Xiaoyun is a good person, he can't bear to see this situation, and he will be quick.
"Smash it to the ground with Water Pulse!"
Smokescreen Suddenly there was a sound of water, which was the sound of water flowing Tackle on the ground!
Wow wow wow!
Immediately afterwards, a rotating water ring exploded from the bottom of Smokescreen, and the strong water flow surged up like a fountain, directly pushing Froakie up from Karu.
"Aerial Ace!"
A layer of white luster appeared on Froakie. Protean started up and switched to Flying type!
Froakie used this Bounce force to jump into the sky suddenly, and slammed down his tightened forelimbs!
Bang!
The opponent was hit by the knot Sturdy, his body fell to the ground on the spot, and he fainted.
Everyone present was shocked.
No one expected that this seemingly evenly matched battle would end so quickly.
Froakie is also in its initial form. Whether it is the trainer's command rhythm or Pokémon's reaction speed, Xiaoyun is overwhelming.
Not paying attention to Karu's depressed expression, Xiaoyun turned to look at the maid aside who had not yet recovered, and blinked. "I won, can I wear a cloak?"
Only then did the maid react. She hurriedly picked up a white cloak from the tray and offered it to her with both hands. "Congratulations to you, Baron Xiaoyun! This is your cloak!"
"Thank you."
Xiaoyun shook his cloak,
Although it is just a white cloak, the golden epaulettes make the whole person look more energetic.
Rotom is also very discerning and keeps taking photos.
Barry watched from the side and twitched the corner of his mouth, muttering in a low voice, "Damn, let this guy pretend again!"
He was just promoted to baron, how could he be more attractive than himself Earl.
In the next battle, Xiaoyun was unstoppable.
Most of the opponents in the Baron rank are novices who have only obtained two or three Badge. Their fighting experience is far inferior to him, and they hardly cause any pressure.
Soon, the record reached nine consecutive victories.
If you win one more game, you will be promoted to Viscount.
But at this moment, he encountered an embarrassing situation. No one of the baron rank present wanted to fight him.
"Well, is it true that no one wants to fight?"
Xiaoyun glanced at the crowd and said helplessly, "I'm actually very weak. Maybe I won't be able to hold on in the next game..."
The baron-level trainers rolled their eyes at the same time:
I believe you! Who was it that just pushed the opponent to the ground and hit him three or two times?
Fried fish pond, right?
Just when the atmosphere was tense, a voice sounded, "How about I do it?"
Xiaoyun followed the sound and saw Sanpei walking out wearing a blue cloak.
Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment. "Sanpei? Aren't you a viscount? We are in different ranks, so we shouldn't be able to fight, right?"
Sanpei explained, "Normal battles are really not possible, but you are in a promotion match, and the rules allow you to challenge high-ranking knights."
"If you win, you will be directly promoted to Viscount, and you will be done in one step."
The promotion tournament has already come out? Your matching mechanism is quite advanced.
Xiaoyun spread his arms, he wanted to find a rival anyway, so he just followed the Romans.
Entering the battle zone, Xiaoyun still sends out Froakie.
I saw Froakie jumping onto the field again. Although he had fought nine games in a row, his eyes were still bright.
Sanpei was slightly surprised when he saw this. "It has been fighting for nine consecutive games. It consumes a lot of physical strength. Do you really not consider changing to another one?"
Even if you know there are differences between them, you can't look down on them so much.
"It doesn't matter, I believe this is not the limit of Froakie."
Xiaoyun pulled the cloak on his body and spoke firmly.
"Quack!"
Froakie nodded vigorously, fighting spirit burning in his round eyes.
Yes, this is far from the limit!
He wants to be the strongest frog from one end of the arena to the other!
Sanpei The smile in his eyes faded and he became more serious, "In that case, I won't be polite."
"Go, Frogadier!"
Poké Ball's red light suddenly appeared, and a more muscular Frogadier landed steadily. As soon as he appeared on the stage, he was ready to go.
Frogadier VS Froakie!
Sanpei took the lead. "Frogadier, Double Team!"
Frogadier's body swayed, and six identical clones instantly separated, moving quickly around Froakie.
Hey, there really are some ways to use ninjutsu...Xiaoyun raised his hand and ordered:
"Froakie, use Smokescreen to block the field of view!"
