Chapter 225 Demon Fox Evolution (62k)

Chapter 225: Fox Evolution (6.2k)

Be prepared off the field, and don't waste time on the field.

Although Jiang Pei knew that Gardevoir used instant teleportation to move to the far end of the battlefield in order to delay the sandstorm, he had to let the Dragon Head Digger continue to maintain an offensive posture.

He was already at a disadvantage. If he still looked ahead and behind, the chance of winning this battle would only get smaller and smaller.

"Dragon Head Digger, rush!"

Under Jiang Pei's decisive command, the Dragon Head Digger in the sandstorm accelerated again.

I don't know whether it was because the effect of the sandstorm weather weakened or there was a problem with the physical state, the speed of the Dragon Head Digger was much lower than the previous two times.

It took nearly three seconds to cover a distance of more than 20 meters.

And in these three seconds, Gardevoir stood still.

Looking at Gardevoir, who was getting closer and closer to the Dragon Head Digger but still indifferent, Jiang Pei's heart was suspicious.

Xia Chen still didn't command?

Whether it was magic fire or hypnosis, he was actually prepared mentally and had different ways to deal with it.

But Gardevoir seemed to not want to do anything, which really confused Jiang Pei.

Could it be that he wanted to repeat the old trick and move to the other side of the battlefield to continue to delay time?

It was not impossible.

Seeing that the Dragon Head Diglett was only a few steps away from Gardevoir, Jiang Pei could not care so much and resolutely commanded: "Dragon Head Diglett, Metal Claw!"

At this moment, he had already thought of various countermeasures to deal with Gardevoir's different reactions.

If it was magic fire, he would just take the damage. If it was hypnosis, he could just replace Hippomon to restart the sandstorm weather.

Everything was ready, Jiang Pei held the Poké Ball tightly in his hand, ready to take back the Dragon Head Diglett at any time.

However, in the battlefield where the sandstorm gradually dissipated, the next scene that happened made him stunned.

…………

In front of the Dragon Rat wielding the sharp steel claws, Gardevoir did not use any of the moves that Jiang Pei imagined, but let the Dragon Rat's sharp metal claws scratch his body.

Jiang Pei was stunned. Why did Gardevoir not resist at all, and even did not use teleportation?

Was the teleportation distance too far and the consumption too great?

Jiang Pei just had this thought in his mind and was ready to pursue the victory.

The next second, a dark light suddenly lit up in Gardevoir's eyes, interrupting all his fantasies.

It was a black gaze!

Jiang Pei was shocked and subconsciously raised the Poké Ball in his hand to take back the Dragon Rat.

But now, it was too late.

In order to make Jiang Pei lower his vigilance and have no reaction time to do this, Gardevoir even let the metal claws of the Dragon Rat attack him, and then released this black gaze.

At this moment, the Dragon Rat was contaminated by the strange ghost energy, which meant that he could never go back to the Poké Ball before losing his combat ability.

What's even more terrible is that at the same time, the wind and sand on the battlefield gradually subsided, and the sandstorm weather ended completely.

Jiang Pei's heart was suddenly in chaos.

It turned out that Xia Chen had already calculated that when his sandstorm weather ended, he would use the black eyes to trap the dragon head rat.

In this way, Hippomon could not play, which meant that he had to either fight in a non-sandstorm weather or let the dragon head rat manually start the sandstorm.

Jiang Pei had a headache because he didn't want to choose either of these two options.

Let's talk about the former first. Without the sandstorm weather, the characteristics of the dragon head rat would be useless, and without the speed suppression, the threat of the dragon head rat would be reduced too much.

As for the latter, the dragon head rat in this state would manually start the sandstorm.

It's no wonder that Gardevoir will definitely use hypnosis and dream eating to wait for him.

Jiang Pei rubbed his temples a little irritably. It seems that he can only choose the first path with less harm.

Gardevoir had already been hit by two metal claws from Diglett's sword dance, plus the damage from the invisible rock and sandstorm when she just came out of the Poké Ball.

Her condition would definitely not be better than Diglett's!

"Diglett, metal claw!"

…………

The sharp steel blade lit up again, but this time, Gardevoir dodged backwards and avoided the close attack of the metal claw.

Jiang Pei's heart sank. He didn't use instant movement, but just relied on speed to avoid it?

Maybe there was a pre-reading component, but this scene undoubtedly meant that Diglett had no advantage in speed.

But it was not just this that frightened him.

"Gardevoir, hypnosis!"

Over there, Xia Chen's long-lost command voice came clearly into his ears.

After dodging the metal claw, Gardevoir, who used his superpowers to fly backwards out of thin air, suddenly brightened his eyes, and a transparent and invisible energy wave immediately hit Diglett, who was attacking with all his strength but neglected defense.

His solid body swayed like a tumbler and turned twice, then fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

It was indeed hypnosis!

Jiang Pei felt bitter. You didn't use my hypnosis just now. Now I want to go all out and fight to the death, but you hypnotize me at this time.

Xia Chen, you have played the psychological warfare very well.

If this was a game, Jiang Pei's hands should have left the keyboard at this time.

Command is useless, and he can't take them back.

"Dragon Head Digger, wake up!"

After the last stubborn Rejuvenation Roar failed, Jiang Pei could only watch Gardevoir use Dream Eater twice in a row to eat away the last strength of Dragon Head Digger.

Looking at Gardevoir, whose physical condition had been rescued from a dangerous state through Dream Eater, Jiang Pei took back the dragon-headed gopher who had lost the ability to fight with a heavy heart.

He knew that he had no chance in this game.

The absolute main force has fallen, and the Hippopotamus is in extremely poor condition. Is it necessary to rely on a blind hand to overturn Xia Chen, who is in relatively good condition?

Hope is too slim.

But even so, Jiang Pei could only replace Hu Di and hope for a miracle to come.

After all, if he loses this game, he will have to fall into the loser's bracket to compete for the few dozen spots in the main draw.

If the loser group overturns again, the dignified successor of Huangsha Dojo will not even be able to enter the main competition of the youth competition, which will be a big loss.

…………

Backfired.

Hu Di's appearance did not create a miracle and reverse the situation on the court.

Even after struggling to defeat Gardevoir, who had a huge energy loss, Hu Di immediately fell to Xianbu's hands.

This was especially true for the last hippo beast. After a steady loud sound connected with the high-speed star, Senbu's number of defeats in this competition increased by one.

In this regard, Xia Chen defeated Jiang Pei, the inheritor of the Huangsha Dojo, and advanced to the main competition of this year's National Youth Trainer Competition.

After the battle, Xia Chen took the elves to the Elf Center of the Flowing Fire Arena.

This competition was different from the relaxed and comfortable two days before. Menus was seriously injured, Gardevoir fought to the end, and only Senbu was still alive and kicking.

After sending the two seriously injured elves to Miss Joy, Xia Chen silently summarized his thoughts on the game while cleaning the dust from the fairy cloth.

Jiang Pei's strength is roughly between Hu Yang and Yin Yuan, so winning this game is not easy.

Although it seemed that he was suppressed throughout the whole process, one of the important reasons was that Jiang Pei was not familiar with him.

On the contrary, Xia Chen, who had a "big think tank" to provide information about his opponent, was able to have a clearer understanding of Jiang Pei before the battle.

In subsequent games, this information gap is unlikely to occur.

In this battle, Xia Chen's playing style and the characteristics of his three elves were completely exposed. Future opponents only need to study this game.

It can be said that the beginning of the main game is the battle between pure tactics and strength.

And according to the trend of previous years, as the schedule goes on, there will be more and more trainers like Jiang Pei who are particularly proficient in certain tactics.

They are also often the inheritors of dojos or dojos, and their strength cannot be underestimated.

For example, Jiang Pei and Wang Ding of Bingzhen Gym whom I met today are not the strongest. According to the information given by the school, Lu Weiyu, the inheritor of Yunze Gym, is the favorite to win this competition.

It's quite a coincidence that like Xia Chen, she is also from Zhijiang.

However, Xia Chen has not yet challenged the local Yunze Gym, so the two of them have no experience of fighting before.

If he wants to win the championship, Lu Weiyu is a strong opponent that he has to face.

Xia Chen was thoughtful as he recalled the information sent from the school.

The Rainy Day team with Swampert as its core?

…………

"The next game is a bit special, because one of the players is a traveling trainer from the Kanto region, named Chihong. He is also the only player from outside the region participating in this competition. In the first two games, Among them, he has only used two spirits, Pikachu and Mosquito Repellent, and his strength is extraordinary."

Xia Chen's thoughts were interrupted by a familiar name coming from the TV hanging on the wall.

Is his game about to begin?

He turned to look at the TV, only to see the familiar figure in red and white training clothes standing quietly at the edge of the battle field, with a yellow-skinned mouse squatting on his shoulder that looked eager to try.

There were many games in the past two days and they left in a hurry. Xia Chen didn't watch Chihong's battle. Today, he had the opportunity to see what Chihong's strength was now.

Holding Xianbu on his lap and continuing to comb her hair, Xia Chen looked up and watched the live broadcast of the Group A match.

Chihong's opponent is a student from Huangdong University. From his experience, he knows that his strength is probably not as good as those apprentices in the gym.

But Huangdong University is still among the top three universities in Donghuang, and it is enough as a touchstone for Red.

Xia Chen originally thought so, but in fact, the game ended without Chi Hong sending out his third elf.

In fact, the opponent's strength is not weak, but facing the Pi Shen who has not started the show, the gap is a bit big.

Pikachu's strength was carried throughout the game, and Mosquito's Aspect was completely different from what it was more than a year ago. However, in just over five minutes, Red easily won the main match ticket with a score of 3:0.

"As expected of him"

Xia Chen sighed softly and casually rolled the hair from the hair comb into a ball and played with it in his hand.

"Buyi!"

Xianbu didn't think much about Chi Hong's growth, but she was very dissatisfied with Xia Chen playing with her hair. She stretched out her silk satin and snatched back the hair ball that had just left her body.

Xia Chen ignored her and continued to think about Chi Hong.

The mosquito-repellent chanter's strength was pretty good, and it didn't look like it had reached the elite level yet. Although it was growing at an alarmingly fast rate compared to ordinary elves, it was still a little underwhelming compared to Senbu and the others.

But the strength of that Pikachu was a bit outrageous. Xia Chen didn't dare to make random conclusions about Pi Shen. He could only say that he really couldn't figure it out.

Apart from the two known elves, it is also a mystery who the last main elf in Red is.

Snorlax? Venusaur? Or Charizard?

The answer to this question may only be revealed after he encounters a stronger opponent.

…………

After the battle with Red, Xia Chen didn't pay much attention to the remaining games.

With this time, it's better to improve yourself with the elves.

So, after the preliminaries were completely over, Xia Chen knew that three of the ten people from Shangjing University who came with him on this trip had been eliminated.

The 70% upgrade rate is definitely an astronomical figure that is out of reach for other schools, but for Shangjing University, it can only be considered satisfactory.

The three people who were eliminated didn't have much intention to stay in Funan. As soon as the preliminaries were over, they flew back to Shangjing overnight.

Although elimination may not be a problem of strength, it may be because of bad luck, but young people of this age are most concerned about face.

We all come from the same school. You advance to the last game, and I cheer for you from the audience. Who can stand it?

Xia Chen didn't care about others. He was studying his next schedule.

From the first match of the main competition, the whole competition is a standard single-elimination system of the cup competition.

That is, the competition system that is divided into upper and lower divisions, and you can use the match chart to clearly draw your promotion route.

Like the last round of the winner's group, Xia Chen is in the lower division, and Hu Yang and Chi Hong are in the upper division.

So unless it is the final, I should not have the opportunity to play against them in this competition.

But the bad news is that the two favorites to win the championship, Lu Weiyu and Bai Mu, are in the lower division.

According to the match schedule chart, Xia Chen will not meet them too early, leaving some time for himself, or Zoroya, to evolve.

I hope the little fox can evolve earlier.

——————

Spirit world.

The sky is still gray, without the sun, moon, and stars, as if the whole world has no concept of time.

But for most beings in the spirit world, time is indeed a meaningless thing.

Drifting unconsciously, living in a daze, the thing that maintains their existence may be existence itself.

But there are not only such unconscious residual souls in the spirit world. Just like raising Gu, there are always a few "Gu Kings" who have devoured enough other residual souls and gradually regained self-awareness.

At this moment, the residual soul in front of Soraya, which looks almost the same as an ordinary dream demon, is obviously one of them.

A month ago, when Soraya first saw this remnant soul of the dream demon, she was shocked.

At first glance, Soraya thought that there were other living elves in the spirit world besides herself.

After careful observation, she was sure that this was still a spirit soul without life.

However, how did it upgrade from a residual soul to this?

Is it because the dream demon itself is a ghost-type elf, so such a change occurred?

There are too many unsolved mysteries in the spirit world, and Soraya can only guess blindly.

She doesn't know how this dead soul became like this, but Soraya has a vague feeling that the soul fragments of this dream demon dead soul will give her a very big surprise.

So, starting from a month ago, Zoroya tried to attack this dream demon ghost.

The dream demon was much more difficult to deal with than she had originally imagined, because it had initially acquired an important thing, wisdom.

Therefore, Zoroya temporarily named the ghosts like the dream demon as the wisdom species.

Although the wisdom of the wisdom species is not even as good as that of normal elves that have not yet left the larval stage, it is a leap forward compared to those ordinary residual souls that can't even do Aba Aba.

With preliminary wisdom and at least the strength of elite two stars, Zoroya could hardly pose any threat to this wisdom species at first.

Fortunately, Zoroya has the ability to freely shuttle between the two worlds. He is not good at other things, but he is best at protracted war.

After a full month of high-intensity tug-of-war, today, it is finally time to close the net.

On the barren land, the shadow extending from Zoroya's feet continued to lengthen, and the gloomy ghost hand suddenly drilled into the body of the dream demon from the shadow.

The last straw was pressed down, and the dream demon who had been tortured for a month was finally freed.

Only a crystal emitting a bright purple light was left, floating quietly in the air.

…………

In the gray fog space, there were still only two lives, Zoroya and the Soul Tree.

After a year of irrigation, although the fourth branch representing the new ability did not grow on the tree, the sapling that was about the same height as Zoroya at the beginning had grown to nearly two meters.

Holding the beautiful purple crystal that he didn't know if it could be called a [Soul Fragment] in his mouth, Zoroya put it into the familiar branch in the middle and harvested it in darkness.

Buds, flowers, fruits, and soon, a fruit with a deep purple luster was on the branch.

Picking it off with ease, Zoroya explored the information of this fruit with an exceptionally sweet and tempting smell.

[Dream Demon Soul Fruit]: After eating, you can obtain some of the abilities of the dream demon.

Looking at the unprecedented information displayed on this special fruit, Zoroa's eyes widened in surprise.

Is this the fruit formed by the soul crystal of the "intelligent species"?

After eating, you can gain some abilities

What is partial ability?

A certain move, basic ability?

It can't be the characteristics of the dream demon, right?

The unclear introduction troubled Zoroya. Is it sure that this thing will not turn you weird after eating it?

But if you don't eat it yourself, you can't waste it, or let other less suitable partners, even Xia Chen, eat it?

What if Xia Chen becomes a ghost?

Wait, become a ghost like me? If you think about it carefully, this seems to be a good idea.

Forget it, this idea can only be thought of in your mind.

If it comes true, not to mention Xia Chen, Senbu and Gardevoir will definitely not let you go.

Putting away his delusions, Zoroya decided to bring the fruit back to reality and eat it.

Anyway, Xia Chen and other partners now know the existence of the fruit, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

And if there is any accident after eating this strange fruit, Xia Chen can find it in time.

With a thought, Zoroya returned to the real world.

…………

The cuckoo clock on the wall ticked and turned. Zoroya looked up and saw that it was still nine o'clock in the evening, the same time as when she entered the gray fog space.

Since sharing the secret with his friends, Zoroya has adjusted the time of entering the spirit world from late at night to the evening.

At this time, after healing the wounds and taking a bath to rest for a while, she sleeps the best.

However, the first thing she did when she came out today was not to heal the wounds. She looked around.

In the room, Xia Chen sat in front of the computer, studying the opponent's information while writing something in the notebook.

Senbu and Gardevoir seemed to be training for tomorrow's game and were not in the room.

But it doesn't matter, as long as Xia Chen is here.

Thinking of this, Zoroya took out the dream demon fruit that had just grown and put it in his mouth without hesitation.

Like all the fruits he had eaten before, this fruit had no taste, but was purely a fluid of some kind of energy.

Zoroya could feel that in addition to the extremely pure ghost energy, there was also some very special and strange energy flowing in his body along with the juice.

The two energies intertwined and flowed through her body. Soroya felt a very strange feeling. If she had to describe it in one word, it would be moist.

In the past, Xia Chen always said something like "very moist". Today, she finally understood what moist felt like.

Hmm. So comfortable that my head felt a little dizzy.

Soroya closed her eyes comfortably, but she didn't realize that the surface of her body was emitting the white light she had been waiting for for a long time.

…………

After spending two whole days, Xia Chen finally sorted out the information of the opponents she was most likely to meet on the promotion route the night before the start of the main competition, and figured out the countermeasures one by one.

Even with superpowers, this kind of work is not easy.

In order to improve concentration and efficiency, Xia Chen locked himself in a shallow meditation state to concentrate on the work in front of him.

At this moment, I found that I was thirsty and hungry after finishing it.

Stretching lazily with a sense of relief, Xia Chen called out, "Gardevo, cut some fruit for me."

The little girl has grown up, isn't she supposed to help me do something?

Otherwise, why raise a daughter?

After the silent footsteps, the door closed. It should be Gardevoir going out to cut fruit.

Xia Chen opened the P station for the first time in a long time, ready to see the cute Pokémon posted by other trainers as a reward for himself.

Hmm. Miss Mary's Morubek and her smile are so cute!

I want to join the shouting team too!

Mingyi has updated a new video again, take a look

Hmm. Why do I feel a little bit older?

Oh my god, how can there be such a cute shell-breaking cuteness as Magic Masked Meow!

Xia Chen was obsessed with cute Pokémon and cuteness, and suddenly, a pair of hands surrounded him from behind and covered his eyes.

Are you playing the Pokémon guessing game? When did Gardevoir become so childish?

Although thinking so, Xia Chen still pretended to guess: "It's Senbu, right?"

To play with childish ghosts, you must first integrate with them and act very stupid.

Behind him, there was silence.

Xia Chen pretended to be enlightened, "It's Gardevoir, right!"

Behind him, there was still silence.

Xia Chen said helplessly: "Okay, Gardevoir, stop making trouble. You are the only Pokémon in the family that has grown hands."

The shadow blocking his eyes still did not let go.

There was no way, Xia Chen could only do it himself.

Putting his hand on the hand of "Gardevoir", Xia Chen was about to move her hand away, but he was shocked to find that "Gardevoir" suddenly grew hair.

Wait, this touch, it can't be

Xia Chen turned his head suddenly and said a Chinese quintessence.

"Fuck!"
