Every elf wanted to play, but Luther only named Heiluga to play.
This made Zhuanzi Mian very dissatisfied. She hugged Luther's face and rubbed Luther's nose with a cotton ball. After a lot of effort, Luther pulled her off.
"The Suzuran Tournament is about to begin. There is no need to reveal your lineup in such a battle. Take a good look around you."
Zhuanzi Mian glanced at the trainer nearby who was planning to record the battle, and finally understood what Luther was doing.
Heiluga has the most obvious weakness among all the elves, and his physical shortcomings cannot be saved.
Luther inquired about this information in various towns along the way, hoping to find a solution for Heluga, but this was in vain.
Heiluga was very indifferent. He had already understood the role he could play in the battle. Compared to Luther's worries, he was much more free and easy.
Kuruga understood the purpose of sending him on the field after just thinking about it carefully. He stretched hard, yawned, and waited for Naomi to put the elf on the field.
Naomi's first battle is the Big-billed Gull.
The elf, whose beak took up at least one-third of its body, flapped its wings and flew up.
Luther subconsciously looked at the sky, there was no sign of rain.
Is this not activating its rainfall characteristics or is it simply not raining?
"Attribute disadvantage. If Big-billed Gull activates the rainfall characteristic, then Heiluga will be unplayable, right?"
"The rain weakens the damage of fire-based skills. Although Heiluga can still use other attribute skills, he still can't avoid the restraint."
"They should be exchanged directly. Even if they lose the initiative, they can't let the Big-billed Gull control the situation."
The buzz around her made Naomi very proud. This was the kind of game she wanted. Luther had to exchange to open up the situation, otherwise it would be giving away an elf for nothing.
"Activate the feature!"
The big-billed gull spread its wings, the rainfall feature was triggered, and drizzle floated in the dry air.
Heiluga's speed was actually not slow. Luther had a chance to stop the big-mouthed gull the moment she activated her special feature, but he did nothing.
Luther's abnormal behavior did not surprise Naomi, and Naomi began to attack.
"water gun."
The water gun sprayed from the big mouth of the big-billed gull looked like a water cannon, but Heiluga and Luther still did not move.
Everyone watched in surprise as Hei Lujia was being washed all over with a water gun, and they were all dumbfounded.
Give up the fight?
It's impossible, the bet is to break a badge.
Isn’t there a Heiruga that has water storage properties in this world?
Naomi glanced at the big-billed gull, and the big-billed gull stared at Kuruga with shocked eyes.
Luther took the rice bowl and began to plan the rice. Mai helped her hold the small bowl with vegetables so that he could pick up the vegetables.
"Water cannons!"
Naomi was angered by Luther's actions. He was simply looking down on herself.
I originally had the idea of conserving my energy, but now I just gave up and used my most powerful skill to attack.
All the trainers who were watching swallowed their saliva. They should hide this time, right?
This is a water cannon. No matter what, you should respect the attribute restraint and weather effects.
Luther still didn't speak. Heiluga lay down and scratched his head with his hind paws.
The water cannon hit Hei Lujia without any accident. Compared to the effect of the water cannon, Hei Lujia was not so calm this time and showed a look of pain.
Luther glanced at it and said, "Spray flames."
Luther's reaction made the onlookers finally relax, otherwise they would have thought they were watching a nervous showdown.
But the effect of the flames was reduced by the rain... huh?
The big-billed gull obviously didn't react. It was shocked by Heiluga's sudden attack. The flames evaporated the water vapor, breaking through the rain curtain and burning the big-billed gull.
"Fire type versus water type, it's still raining, are you tickling the big-mouthed gull?" Naomi laughed.
Everyone looked at Naomi with strange eyes, and Naomi also noticed something was wrong. The big-billed gull had an extremely painful expression, and even its wings shrank.
After a while, the big-billed gull fell to the ground with a thud and lost its ability to fight.
Luther curled his lips, unable to show his enthusiasm.
Before the fight started, he realized that this was another boring duel. Just by looking at the breeding status of the big-billed gull and the luster of its beak, he could judge Naomi's strength.
Attributes and weather have little effect on well-trained elves.
"Please hurry up, don't waste time, next one." Luther urged.
Naomi is already stupid. The weakening effect of rain on the fire element should be obvious. This effect is abnormal!
The onlookers' trainers no longer focused on Naomi, and they could better understand what happened just now.
Heiluga's jet flames are already as effective as a sunny day. If Heiluga is willing, he can even use his jet flames to destroy the rain effect created by the Big-billed Gull.
Naomi anxiously took back the gull, her hand holding the Poké Ball was trembling. Just now she was in a daze and couldn't turn around, but now she was completely awake.
The level is definitely different. Although this Black Luga looks very old, it has exceeded the limit of what she can handle. Unless a group fight is allowed, she has no chance of winning.
Looking at the glowing badge placed on a stone not far away, Naomi clenched her fists.
She lowered her head and glanced at the enlarged Poké Ball in her hand. The Sun Rock next to her took the initiative to float forward, but Naomi quickly hugged it.
"I'm not interested in playing house with you." Luther once said.
Naomi thought Luther was joking, but it was true.
"I give up." Naomi gritted her teeth and said the words.
There was an uproar all around.
The bet is a badge. No matter what, you have to fight hard, right?
Sun Rock was anxious, and it wanted to rush out and start the game forcefully, but Naomi's Poké Ball was much faster than it was, and it was taken back before it could rush in front of Kuruga.
Luther looked at Naomi for the first time, his expression softened a lot, and he put the bowl in Mai's hand.
"Do you know what the consequences will be if you admit defeat?" Luther asked with a smile.
Naomi took a deep breath: "Thank you for your advice."
After saying that, he turned around and left without any regrets.
Watching Naomi squeeze through the crowd of onlookers and leave, everyone was still confused.
No one expected that this three-on-three match would end in such an anticlimactic manner, and they all despised Naomi for not having the basic qualities of a trainer.
Luther heard everything, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Picking up the magenta badge from who knows which gym, Luther walked towards the person who just said he wanted to record the game.
"Has the post been sent?"
Holding the camera and computer, he was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No, we are still editing."
"Then don't send it out, just pretend that Naomi has never bet on the badge."
Luther faced the other trainers: "I will deal with this badge by myself later. Since Naomi has admitted defeat, the bet on the badge is over. Please don't mention it in the forum, okay?"
Probably because Luther's performance in the battle just now shocked them, everyone nodded.
Luther returned to the camp and continued to enjoy his dinner. The trainers who were watching did not mean to disturb them. They looked at Luther and Mai in awe and left cautiously.
Only the one carrying the photography equipment and computer remained.
"Hello, I am Zhengda from the Information Department of the Alliance, and I am collecting news materials in Curtain City."
Zhengda took off his straw hat, signaled Luther to continue eating, and found a stone to sit down.
After waiting for Luther to finish the meal and Mai and Jilidan started to clear away the tableware, Zhengda rubbed his hands and leaned over.
"At first, you seemed very unhappy. Naomi must have had a conflict with you before we came here. Why did you want to speak for her?"
Zhengda finally had the opportunity to ask his doubts.
Luther glanced sideways at his computer and found that Zhengda had indeed deleted all the manuscripts he had written, and nodded approvingly.
"Aren't you curious why she didn't fight?" Luther asked.
Zhengda was stunned.
"It goes without saying how precious a badge is to a trainer. Every trainer regards the badge as evidence of his or her growth."
Luther took out the broken badge that Naomi lost to him and played with it.
"Since she wants to bet on the badge, it proves that her need for the badge is urgent, so there is no reason not to play."
Zhengda followed Luther's train of thought and continued.
"I have seen many people who have gone astray. Some, in order to win, can abandon the elves at will, ignore the pain of the elves, and regard the exchange as a shortcut to obtain the badge."
Luther remembered what he looked like when he faced Minlong.
"I have also seen some people who are arrogant and arrogant, thinking that they are at the top when they debut, and everything is within easy reach. When the elf falls, the first thing he thinks of is his own face. Even if he fails, he still does not bow his head or admits his mistakes, and goes all the way to the dark side.
, choose spiritual victory.”
Hiroshi's treatment of his own elves also emerged.
Luther touched Heiluga's head and said with a smile: "The reason why Naomi doesn't fight is because she doesn't want her elf to be too seriously injured."
Heiluga yawned, crawled on the ground, enjoyed Luther's touch, and dozed off.
Naomi couldn't pretend to be anxious after seeing the injured gull. No matter how annoying she was, she at least put the elf's safety and feelings first.
She knew that she had angered Luther, and he would probably not hold back in the next battle.
After understanding the gap, he did not continue the battle just for a breath. This was also considered. Stopping Sun Rock was also to protect Sun Rock.
For this reason, she is willing to bear the criticism and the consequences of losing the bet.
It's easy to say that you are willing to accept defeat in a bet, but there are a few people who can leave calmly like Naomi after losing a bet, without any nostalgia.
From the beginning to the end, she was holding on to the Elf Ball tightly. The onlookers didn't even notice this, but they were all watching the outcome.
"My heart is not bad, my character is not bad, but my behavior is not pleasing to my ears. There is no need to be too harsh. You must give her room to make corrections."
Luther reached out and took out the voice recorder from Zhengda's jacket pocket and pressed delete.
"You think so?" Luther patted Zhengda on the shoulder.
Zhengda blushed, nodded, took the recorder, thanked him for the answer, and left.
After experiencing the mob incident, Luther became increasingly aware of the beauty of kindness.
Since Naomi still has such a seed in her heart, why should she continue to pursue it and hurt her?
As long as she still has such a seed in her heart, she will not go astray like Hongji and the others.
It takes time for a big tree to take root and sprout. It is easy to get grudges and slap them in the face roughly. It is not difficult for Luther to trample on others to gain confidence.
But is it really worth destroying a big tree that might grow just for that little bit of pleasure?
