The trainer in front of Luther was only fourteen or fifteen years old, about the same height as Mai, and wore a sun hat.
When Luther and Mai took out the illustrations, the young trainer carrying the cunning tengu also took out his own illustrations from his pocket.
Since he was the holder of the illustrated book, many processes could be omitted, and Luther directly invited him to have dinner with him.
After taking the egg pancake from Jilidan and saying thank you, the trainer smiled and introduced himself: "Nobuhiro, from Mumu City."
"Luther, Zhensha Town."
"Call me Mai, I'm from Yangxin City."
An elegant cat ran over from a distance. It seemed that Nobuhiro stayed on the outside and tried to surround Dajia and released it in advance.
The frozen armor was broken through the ice by the Cunning Tengu, and then knocked unconscious with an air slash.
"You don't plan to conquer Dajia, right?" Nobuhiro asked.
"Please." Luther extended his hand to signal Nobuhiro to handle it as he pleased.
Nobuhiro bit the egg pancake, stood up and smashed the poke ball over.
I originally thought I could subdue it with certainty, but the elf ball shook for a long time, and was actually pushed open by Dajia with his last strength.
Panting, Da Jia was about to run away when he suddenly saw Mary Lou appearing in his field of vision and was stunned for a moment.
The Cunning Tengu's Air Slash hit again. This skill completely knocked out Dajia's last resistance. Throwing the elf ball up directly declared the victory of the conqueror.
Nobuhiro naturally saw this little episode where Dajia suddenly stopped moving. The only elves present who could use ice skills seemed to be Marilu and Silly Hippo.
But Da Jia should only be able to see Mary Lou from that position just now. That means Mary Lou just stopped Da Jia?
Judging from my own tracking speed, the confrontation between Marilu and Dajia ended in only about twenty seconds.
This strength is a bit strong...
"Are Luther and Mai traveling with the intention of challenging the Suzuran Tournament?"
Seeing that everyone had finished their lunch, Nobuhiro opened his mouth and asked.
"I am, but Mai is not. She is working hard to obtain the qualification certificate as a breeder, and her goal is to become a master breeder."
Nobuhiro looked at Marylou who was eating snacks after finishing the meal, and asked curiously: "Luther, when did you start traveling, and how many badges do you have?"
Luther took out his badge box and opened it: "Since last summer, not many, only six."
not much?
Nobuhiro smiled bitterly and opened his badge box, where lay quietly two badges from EMI and Black Gold Gym.
It seems that he is another young man who is determined to challenge all the core gyms to prove himself, and he will be done with it.
Luther could only comfort him: "I still have the badge of the core gym here. It doesn't mean anything. It's easy for you to get it."
Nobuhiro shook his head: "I started traveling when I was ten years old. Five years have passed and I haven't qualified for a tournament. The most recent one was just seven badges."
"No need to comfort me. Although some of your six badges are from non-core gyms, you got the White Wind badge, didn't you?"
"Yangbai cannot be counted among the non-core ranks at all. Any trainer who pays a little attention to the alliance knows that he is being tested by the Four Heavenly Kings Kikuno. This is simply a hellish difficulty."
"Yangbai is famous for not giving up and only fighting with all his strength. His super high winning rate was even complained by his trainer, because the trainer felt that Yangbai had no self-awareness as a gym owner."
After a pause, Nobuhiro looked at Luther with serious eyes.
"Please have a battle with me, even one-on-one. Please let me understand the difference." Nobuhiro took a deep breath and continued, "I will not beg you to give me advice. Battle skills are all based on understanding, even if you say it.
, I can’t use it effectively, and I won’t be able to use my original strength because I care too much.”
"I just want to feel how you fight at that level."
Luther was silent for a long time and looked at Mai next to him.
Mai couldn't give Luther any advice and could only sigh.
Luther had seen something like this before himself.
My classmate at the same table wanted to be an excellent pianist passionately. He studied hard and practiced hard, but no matter how hard he worked, he could not keep up with the level of his peers.
When they met again, he was drinking and told Luther that he had given up.
He didn't look sad when he spoke, as if he was saying something insignificant.
If Nobuhiro had really been working hard on his career as a trainer over the years, but in the end he couldn't even collect eight badges, then the only thing Luther could do was to tell him a very cold word from the perspective of someone who had experienced it.
"You may not have enough talent as a trainer."
Nobuhiro is probably aware of this, so rather than wanting to experience a higher-level battle, he wants to ask Luther to help realize a dream and give himself a reason to give up.
There are very few opportunities for him to compete with high-level trainers. Even if he asks the gym leader to go all out, the gym leader may subconsciously let him go because of his strength.
"Okay, one-on-one, as you wish, I will attack with all my strength and I won't give in."
Nobuhiro bowed gratefully to Luther, and the cunning tengu on the side also bowed slightly, and then jumped to the open space aside, waiting for Luther to release the elf.
Luther knelt down, looked at the shadow and said, "If I have to say it, you are probably the strongest person on my side right now. Are you interested in helping me?"
There was no response, which was reasonable. After all, Darkrai was not his elf, and it was normal for him to be unable to control him in a cooperative relationship.
Just when Luther was about to name Mary Lou, Darkrai slowly emerged from the shadows and floated towards the battlefield.
Still silent and taciturn.
Nobuhiro swallowed, took out the illustrated book and scanned Darkrai. If it weren't for the voice of the illustrated book, he might have thought that everything he was experiencing now was a dream.
I really don’t have any sense of reality. The person I want to challenge actually conquered the legendary elf... Is this the difference?
I have been out for so long that I have trouble even getting the badge, but Luther, who has only been out for about half a year, has such strength.
Nobuhiro took a deep breath and tried to focus on the battle.
The opportunity I got for this request, even if I have to give up, I must go all out!
As the referee, Mai raised her hand, and the cunning Tengu who attacked first jumped towards Darkrai, intending to take the lead.
Splitting Tile can effectively damage Clay. As long as you hit it first, the battle will be off to a good start.
"The waves of evil."
The dark halo arrived first and suffocated on the cunning tengu. A gust of wind blew up in front of Mai's eyes, and the dust almost blinded Luther's eyes.
When he came back to his senses, the cunning tengu had already fallen.
