The two walked to the door of the pyramid and were about to enter when the screen at the door suddenly lit up:
"Stop anyone who comes here! Explain your identity!"
Barry was startled by the sudden sound, but quickly puffed up his chest and answered:
"We are challengers who have successfully made reservations in advance! We came here specially to challenge Battle Pyramid!"
"The identity verification is passed and the access permit takes effect."
The door slowly slid open to both sides, revealing a dark and deep internal passage.
The voice next to him sounded again:
"Come in, there is someone challenging inside, you can watch first."
"Is there anyone else challenging this time?"
Ayaka was a little surprised. They didn't expect that there would be someone earlier than them.
"No matter who he is, I want to see who challenges me first!"
Barry strode in without saying a word.
The two quickly walked through the corridor and entered the battle hall at the core of the pyramid.
A huge battle field appeared in front of us, the size of the field was comparable to a standard football field.
There are two people standing on each side of the field.
On the left side of the field, a middle-aged man stood with his arms crossed.
Wearing a capable and wear-resistant mountaineering outfit, the lines are neat and tough, and the face is cold and steady.
There is a strong aura of self-reliance and authority between his eyebrows, standing there like an unshakable mountain.
"That is Brandon, the legendary Pyramid King, the strongest of Battle Frontier."
Barry whispered, Brandon's aura made him lower his voice subconsciously.
"Then who is the challenger?"
Ayaka looked to the other side of the field curiously.
Barry followed her gaze and was stunned.
Another young man with the same stern face and purple hair stood at the other end of the field.
"Holy shit! Paul! Why is this guy here?"
Barry almost jumped up, thinking, shouldn't this person be Sinnoh as Elite Four?
Why are you here at Kanto? Is this a trip at public expense?
Paul below frowned slightly, obviously hearing the movement above.
He turned his head, glanced at Barry in the audience, and then shifted his gaze back to the venue.
It's okay, not important.
This made Barry feel like he was completely ignored.
"This guy is still so stinky!"
Barry gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't even say hello! At least we know each other!"
Ayaka was very calm. "He hit him. Didn't he look at you just now?"
"That's called greeting? That's called contempt!"
"Isn't that his normal attitude towards you?"
Barry:"..."
At this moment, a gentle voice came from the side. "Hello, are you friends of Paul?"
Barry and Ayaka turned their heads when they heard the sound, and saw a purple-haired young man with a gentle and elegant temperament walking slowly.
The hair color is exactly the same as Paul, but the temperament is completely different, not even half as aloof as Paul.
It was Reggie who was called over by Paul.
With a gentle smile on his face, Reggie took the initiative to introduce himself, "I am Reggie, the brother of Paul. The two of you look familiar, so they should be friends of Paul."
Barry curled his lips. "We can't say we are friends. At most we are acquaintances."
Ayaka nodded politely. "My name is Ayaka, hello Mr. Reggie."
"Hello, hello."
Reggie responded with a smile, "Paul is not good at expressing himself. If he has offended you in any way, I apologize on his behalf."
"No, no, no, no need to apologize, I'm already immune to his mouth."
Barry waved his hand. "But having said that, Paul actually has such a polite brother, isn't this gene distribution too unfair?"
Reggie smiled awkwardly:
"Well... maybe it's because he has been relatively independent since he was a child and doesn't like to communicate with others."
Ayaka looked at the two people confronting each other below and suddenly said, "If you didn't look carefully, you would have thought that the uncle below has something to do with Paul."
Reggie followed her gaze and saw Paul and Brandon standing face to face.
Their expressions were exactly the same.
They all have expressionless and indifferent faces, as if facial paralysis is some kind of fashion trend.
"Well, this is really hard to explain..."
Reggie is a little ashamed.
To be honest, after Paul became Elite Four, his aura became more and more like Mr. Brandon.
Whenever he gets along with Paul, he will have an inexplicable Pressure.
"Looks like they're about to start."
Ayaka reminded.
"Then let's see, it's here." Barry found a seat and sat down, with his hands behind his head. "I want to see how much progress this guy Paul has made."
On the field, Brandon and Paul stand opposite each other.
In the center of the field, Brandon crossed his arms and looked directly at the purple-haired boy in front of him, his eyes magnanimous and sharp:
"Young man, I heard that you are now Pokémon League Elite Four, joining the ranks of Masters Eight."
"Don't hide your clumsiness, use all your strength and attack with all your strength."
After the words fell, Brandon flicked his wrist, and a Poké Ball broke out of the air!
Bang!
The red light fell, and a huge rock giant appeared on the field.
The gray-brown rock body and limbs are engraved with strange dot symbols on the face.
Barry exclaimed, "Regirock! Are you so fierce as soon as you come up?"
It is rumored that Mr. Brandon has several Legendary Pokémon in his hands, and it seems to be true.
"Then... Mr. Brandon! Please give me some advice!"
Seeing the opponent in front of him, Paul bowed slightly and threw out his first Poké Ball.
"Torterra! Get ready to fight!"
With a heavy sound, a huge land turtle appeared on the field.
A trace of memory flashed in Brandon's eyes. "Is it the original Torterra? After so many years, let me see how much it has grown."
The attribute combination of grass + ground completely restrained his Regirock.
But Brandon had no intention of changing his favor. He looked calm and still calmly ordered:
"Regirock! Stone Edge!"
Regirock raised his arm, countless sharp Stone Edge condensed in the air, and rushed towards Torterra, the offensive was fierce and intensive!
Paul also calmly ordered:
"Torterra! Use Curse!"
Torterra lay on the spot, motionless as a mountain, with a strange black light flashing on the surface of his body.
Speed reduced! Defense greatly increased!
Stone Edge hit Torterra, making a clanging sound, but only left a few shallow white marks on its shell.
"Are you planning to rely on Torterra's defense?"
Brandon A flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.
The speed of Torterra is already slow. Turning on Curse means completely giving up mobility and braking statically, which makes it clear that a protracted war will be fought.
But... since you want to be an iron bucket, then I will Sheer Force break the shield!
"Try this trick! Ice Punch!"
"Lo...!"
Regirock took a step forward and rushed towards Torterra. A cold light shone on the rock fist, and the surrounding temperature dropped suddenly!
Boom!
With one punch, most of Torterra's back was covered in ice!
But Paul's expression remained calm:
"Giga Drain!"
Tsk tsk tsk!!!
A large number of Vine Whips protruded from the trees on Torterra's back. Those Vine Whips were like living creatures, quickly wrapping around Regirock's body!
A green light flashes on Vine Whip, starting Absorb Regirock's physical strength!
Regirock's body trembled slightly, and it could feel that its physical strength was being rapidly drained!
And the energy that was Absorb is pouring into Torterra's body continuously!
The ice layer on Torterra's body begins to Acid Armor, and its physical strength is recovering quickly!
"Break free! Keep using Ice Punch!"
Brandon ordered coldly.
Regirock's arm shook, and the cold light froze Vine Whip.
Those frozen Vine Whip became extremely fragile, and Regirock broke them all into pieces when he tried hard!
Then it raised its fist again and hit Torterra!
"Use High Horsepower!"
Paul's voice suddenly rose.
"Taiwan!!!"
Torterra's whole body is covered with a layer of khaki energy. The energy is as solid as substance, exuding the heavy breath of the earth!
Then it lowered its head, like an out-of-control heavy truck, and crashed into Regirock!
Boom boom boom!!
The two sides faced each other head-on! The rock collided with the earth, and the Tackle wave spread to all directions, raising dust all over the sky!
"Then Earthquake!"
Paul Pursuit.
Torterra Lift the forelimbs, then Bulldoze lower them!
Boom!
The Tackle wave spreads in all directions with Torterra as the center, and the ground shakes violently!
Regirock lost his balance due to the vibration, and was pushed away by Torterra, causing him to roll several times on the ground!
"Regirock! Hold still!"
Brandon ordered coldly.
But Paul won't give him a chance to breathe:
"Torterra, Frenzy Plant!"
Torterra suddenly raised his forelimbs and stomped heavily on the ground in front of him!
The next moment, the ground in front of me cracked open, forming countless exaggerated cracks!
Wow wow wow!
Immediately afterwards, thorny thorns grew crazily from under the ground!
Those thorns were as thick as pythons, and with the momentum of breaking out of the ground, they whipped towards Regirock!
"Use Protect!"
Brandon shouted urgently.
"Locke!"
Regirock raised his hands and condensed a green light mask around his body!
But the corners of Paul's mouth raised slightly:
"It's not over yet! Torterra!"
Torterra stepped on the sole of his foot, and those thorns suddenly changed their direction as if they had received instructions!
They bypassed Protect's front protection and emerged from the soles of Regirock's feet!
Click!
Protect The shield broke instantly!
Those thorns broke through the defense from below and hit Regirock directly!
"Locke!"
Regirock made a mechanical whine.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, Regirock's hard rock body was already covered with dense whipping cracks.
Brandon's expression changed. "Young man, you are stronger than last time! But it's not over yet!"
"Regirock! Hyper Beam!"
"Locke!"
Regirock Stabilize your body and gather dazzling energy in your arms!
Boom!
A thick orange beam of light suddenly shot out! The beam carried destructive power, and the air was distorted wherever it passed!
Torterra was unable to move after using Frenzy Plant and could only withstand the blow!
Boom boom boom!!!
This blow hit the front, and Torterra's body was engulfed by the beam!
When the beam dissipated, its condition had dropped significantly, and its physical strength plummeted instantly!
"The final blow, Ice Punch!"
Brandon gave heavy orders.
Regirock took steps forward and rushed towards Torterra!
Its fists glowed with cold light again, and the surrounding temperature dropped sharply!
"Earthquake!"
The voice of Paul sounded at the same moment.
"Tutai...!"
Torterra stepped on the sole of his foot!
Boom!
Tackle waves spread again! The ground shook violently!
Regirock Before he could even rush forward, he lost his balance due to the vibration!
Before its fist could even land, its body had already fallen forward!
There was a loud bang!
The invincible Regirock fell.
"Regirock loses the ability to fight! Torterra wins!" the referee announced.
"Unexpectedly, it was Mr. Brandon who injured a Pokémon first."
Reggie couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes full of disbelief.
In his impression, Mr. Brandon has always been synonymous with invincibility.
When he challenged Brandon, he couldn't even defeat the opponent's Regirock and was swept out 6-0.
And now...Paul actually defeated Regirock first, allowing Mr. Brandon to damage a Pokémon!
Barry looked at him puzzled. "Brother Reggie, why are you so surprised? Although this guy Paul has a venomous mouth, he is still the one who broke into Masters Eight. Is it normal for him to have such strength?"
"Um... that's true."
Reggie is a little ashamed.
Yes, it's because he has a small style.
Unknowingly, his stubborn brother has surpassed him so much that he can even have the upper hand in the face of Mr. Brandon.
And I... I don't even have the qualifications to make Mr. Brandon serious.
How can I describe this feeling?
I am both happy and a little disappointed.
"Come out, Regice!"
Brandon's second Pokémon is still a huge divine pillar giant.
The whole body is in the shape of crystal, the arms have sharp edges and sharp ends, the ice is as strong as metal, and the surface exudes a faint cold air Mist.
As soon as it appeared on the stage, the temperature of the entire venue dropped sharply, and tiny ice crystals even condensed in the air.
"Regice..."
Paul's eyes flashed with solemnity.
"Torterra! Encore Earthquake!"
"Tutai!"
Torterra Lift up your forelimbs and step down again!
The majestic Tackle wave on the ground swept the audience! The Ground-type move perfectly hit the Regice that just appeared!
"Regice, use Ice Beam!"
Brandon counterattack decisively!
Regice raised his ice crystal finger, and an icy blue beam shot out instantly! It accurately hit Torterra, who was still alive!
Click, click, click!
The ice spread rapidly on Torterra's body, from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. In just two seconds, Torterra was frozen into an ice sculpture!
"Torterra loses the ability to fight! Regice wins!"
"Torterra has lost the ability to fight!"
The referee announced.
Brandon's expression became a little more relaxed.
This boy's progress was really great, which made him a little overwhelmed for a while.
Paul still has an indifferent expression, just like Brandon before.
He silently retrieved Torterra, and then threw out the second Poké Ball.
"Magmortar! Get ready to fight!"
Bang!
A fiery red body appeared on the field. It had flame-like patterns on its body, its abdomen was as red as lava, and its two arms were in the shape of cannon barrels, as if it could spit out flames at any time.
As soon as Magmortar appeared on the stage, the temperature of the entire arena increased a lot.
Those ice crystals just created by Regice began to move Acid Armor at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Magmortar, is it another attribute advantage?"
Barry touched his chin, "Paul, this guy still believes in attribute restraint as always."
Ayaka said, "This may be his style, solving problems in the most effective way."
