The time comes for the next day.
The large holographic screen in the center of the venue lit up again, and Rollout displayed the next group's battle list.
Diantha VS Flint VS Aci!
"Oh? It's my turn."
At the VIP table, Diantha stood up gracefully, adjusted his skirt, turned his head and smiled at Cynthia beside him.
Cynthia raised his golden eyes, with a flash of narrowness:
"Don't overturn when playing at home. Your opponent is our Sinnoh, who is so passionate, Elite Four."
"Don't worry. As the champion of Kalos, I have no reason to lose on my own territory."
Diantha's smile was confident and calm, and he turned and walked towards the player channel.
When her figure appeared at the entrance of the battle stage, the entire venue was in an uproar!
As the champion of Kalos Region and a well-known super movie queen, Diantha's popularity has reached its peak!
"Diantha! Diantha! Diantha!"
"Goddess look at me!"
"Miss Diantha! I am your fan!"
"Miss Diantha! I've watched all your movies! Even the bad movie "The Domineering Magikarp Falls in Love with Me" ten times!"
Home field advantage? This can no longer be called an advantage, this is called a dimensionality reduction attack.
Flint, who was standing at the entrance on the other side, felt the pressure of the home court like a mountain and a tsunami. He raised his hand and rubbed his iconic afro, and whispered:
"It's not a big deal. I've already lost half of my momentum, and my psychological pressure has already been exhausted before I even start fighting."
Another player, Aci, is a young trainer from Hoenn Region who broke into Great Ball Level with his solid basic skills.
I saw that this dear man's face was pale, his forehead was sweating, his soul seemed to have left his body, and he was wandering in the sky, not knowing what the heaven and earth were.
Seeing this, Flint sighed, walked over and patted Aci on the shoulder:
"Brother, cheer up! Aren't we the champions? We are also Elite Four, and we are worthy of her!"
Aci turned his head stiffly and showed a smile that was uglier than crying:
"Mr. Flint, you are right."
You are always Elite Four, and I am just an ordinary Great Ball trainer! Isn't this difference bigger than Bulbasaur and Venusaur?
Diantha stood at the home court with a decent smile, and first waved gracefully to the enthusiastic audience around him, which caused another wave of cheers.
Then, she turned her attention to Flint and joked:
"Long time no see, Mr. Flint. I heard that your Sinnoh and Elite Four take turns challenging Cynthia every year. What, do you really want to be the champion?"
Flint was stunned by this unexpected interview, and then grinned:
"Harm, as I say, who doesn't want to be a champion? As the saying goes, Elite Four who doesn't want to be a champion is not a good trainer."
He paused, rubbed his nose, and added, "Besides, you still have to have dreams. What if you accidentally win?"
These words caused a burst of laughter from the audience. Flint's straightforward and somewhat naive character diluted the tense atmosphere a little.
Diantha also smiled and tapped her chin with her slender fingers:
"But I heard that every time Cynthia plays against you, she will be more or less a little shy. If she is not in a good mood one day, it is common for her to push the team."
"This difference in strength seems quite large."
"Hiss!"
The audience took a breath, their champion was so brave to say that
This is a bit heartbreaking.
At the VIP table, Cynthia couldn't help but hold his forehead and chuckled, "Diantha, this guy really knows how to stir up trouble."
Lucian pushed up his glasses. "Diantha, are you playing with fire?"
Volkner had an ugly expression on his face. "Although it is the truth, but did you say it publicly like this on purpose? Taunt?"
However, to everyone's surprise, Flint did not become angry.
The playful expression on his face gradually subsided, and his eyes became extremely serious, the eyes of a truly strong man.
"Isn't the gap meant to bring people closer?"
"If you Flinch don't move forward because the gap is huge, then what kind of trainer do you think you are? Doing something you know you can't do is a real man!"
He suddenly raised his arm, held a Poké Ball tightly with his fingers, and looked at Lock-On Diantha with burning eyes:
"Go! My partner! Infernape!"
"Roar fiercely--!!!"
White light explodes! A Infernape with a burning flame on its head and sharp eyes like knives appears boldly!
Its fists collided, sparks burst out, and the hot air waves spread out around it, temporarily suppressing the cheers of the audience!
The fighting spirit is soaring!
"That's right, surpassing yourself, this is the goal of our trainers!"
"This is the magnanimity Elite Four should have!"
"So handsome!"
Diantha looked at the powerful Flint and Infernape in front of him and couldn't help but applaud:
"Nice speech, Flint Elite Four. So, in response to your awakening."
"Go ahead, Gardevoir."
Poké Ball was thrown gently, without earth-shattering momentum, only a soft white light.
The light flashed, and an elegant Gardevoir with swaying skirt landed lightly on the ground.
She folded her hands in front of her body and nodded slightly, like a noble lady.
The contrasting combination of Beauty and the Beast, elegance and wildness, makes this battle full of dramatic tension before it even begins!
On the other side, Aci saw that the two big guys had entered the aura of a master showdown. He swallowed and took out Poké Ball tremblingly:
"Miao, Venusaur, come on."
"Da na!"
Venusaur appeared. It looked at Infernape on the left, who was full of fighting spirit, and then at the elegant Gardevoir on the right, and silently collected Vine Whip.
Can't see me, can't see me...
"The game begins!"
Almost as soon as the referee finished speaking, Flint moved!
"Infernape! Mach Punch!"
Without any temptation, he launched the fastest and fiercest close attack as soon as he came up!
Because he knows very well that facing Gardevoir, who has superior Special Attack and strong control, closing the distance and making continuous fast breaks is the only chance of victory!
"Roar fiercely!"
Infernape's figure blurred instantly!
Mach Punch, true to its name, punch speed breaks through the Overdrive barrier!
It turned into a Red-colored afterimage, appearing in front of Gardevoir almost teleportingly. With a scream that ripped through the air, its right fist hit Gardevoir's face!
However, the response of Diantha is also extremely fast.
"Teleport."
The figure of Gardevoir disappeared from the spot the moment before his fist was about to hit. Mach Punch missed the target, and the wind of the fist blasted a small crater into the ground.
Mach Punch missed the punch, and the wind of the punch scraped a shallow mark on the ground where Gardevoir was originally standing.
"Follow it! Keep going, Mach Punch!"
Flint responds extremely quickly without stopping!
Teleport requires a short cooling adjustment, and continuous Pursuit can not give the opponent a chance to breathe! This is the muscle memory developed after fighting Lucian countless times!
Infernape There is no need to turn around at all, the body Sheer Force twists and exerts force in mid-air.
The strength of his waist made the audience's teeth ache. He stepped on the air and accelerated a second time. He turned into red Flash again and pounced on Gardevoir who had just appeared on the other side of the venue.
"I'm really impatient."
Diantha smiled slightly and gave an unambiguous order, "Gardevoir, Dazzling Gleam!"
Gardevoir just appeared, and his hands were already pushing forward gracefully!
The dazzling pink light bursts out from its center like a Tackle wave! This range Beat Up attack without blind spots is the best choice for dealing with high-speed Close Combat!
"Close your eyes! Stack Fire Punch and break through it!"
Flint shouted.
He did not choose to defend or dodge, but chose the most arrogant and passionate way of fighting - to break in!
Infernape Hearing this, he closed his eyes for a moment, and his forward momentum did not diminish at all. Blazing white flames ignited on his fists. Iron Fist Ability made the flames condense and explode even more rapidly!
Like a burning meteorite, it crashed into the light tide of Dazzling Gleam!
Zizzizi--!
Magic energy and flame energy collided fiercely. Infernape broke through the light tide, closing the distance with Gardevoir! The burning fist was already close at hand!
"Moonblast!"
Gardevoir put his hands together in front of his chest, and a cold and huge moon Energy Ball condensed in an instant, and launched out towards Fire Punch!
Boom--!!!
The energy of the flames collided with the moonlight, causing an even more violent explosion than before!
Smoke and dust filled the air, and two figures flew out from the center of the explosion at the same time!
Gardevoir landed lightly, its skirt fluttering slightly, but if you look closely, you can see that its breathing is slightly rapid.
The series of attacks and defenses just now consumed a lot of money.
Infernape slid on the ground for several meters before regaining its balance. It shook its numb fists and its eyes became more fierce.
There was a small black mark on its right fist.
In just ten seconds, the two sides had completed a high-intensity test and confrontation!
The fast transition between attack and defense and the smooth connection of moves made the audience dizzy.
"Oh my god! This offensive and defensive rhythm is too fast!"
"No chance to breathe at all."
"The champion responded so calmly, it was almost like he was dancing."
"Ah, this, is this the strength of the champion and Elite Four..."
Aci was stunned on the sidelines, completely forgetting that he was also a contestant.
His Venusaur has silently laid down and covered his head with Vine Whip.
The big guys are fighting, and the younger guys are watching. It's important to save your life.
"Infernape, don't give it a chance to breathe! Flame Charge closes the distance, then Thunder Punch!" Flint launches another fierce attack!
We cannot delay. If we fight a protracted war, we will lose.
Must be faster and harder!
