Ash's elves are ready, and they have learned that there will be a battle after dinner.
Luther squatted next to Heiluga and shook him, finally waking up Heiluga from his sleep.
"If you're sleepy, go back to the tent and rest. I'll just switch to another elf. After all, this is a sparring session, not a formal battle."
Heiluga looked up at the Dream Demon and shook his head.
He knew that Luther hoped that he could replenish some energy, but even if he couldn't participate in this kind of battle, he still had to watch. After all, he was a member of the team.
Heiluga lay under the tree stump next to the clearing, silently watching the two sides fighting.
When the battle started, Mai's phone vibrated. She glanced at the number and wanted to press it directly, but when she remembered the qualification certificate she had in her pocket, she suddenly gained great courage.
The match between Muke Ying and Mary Lou had already begun. Mai held her cell phone, secretly cheered for Mary Lou, and left secretly.
After walking to the park where the sound of the battle could not be heard, Mai dialed back.
It rang for a long time, but no one answered. Just when Mai wanted to close the call and go back to see Luther's performance, the call was connected.
"I thought you forgot you had a family."
Mai had a lot to say, and she had thought of a gentle conversation starter, but her father's words made her hold back.
She didn't speak, and responded to her father with her breath.
"not talking?"
Mai's father emphasized his tone.
"I had something to say, but let's forget it now. I don't want to quarrel with you, but you seem to be here to quarrel with me. If it's okay, I'll hang up. I have something urgent."
If it weren't for this phone call, Mai should be enjoying Luther's battle. This was originally a happy thing, but it changed.
"Am I wrong?" Mai's father's voice was filled with obvious anger, "You have been back to Yangxin City for more than a month, but you have never been home once. You would rather live in Sirona's villa than see your family.
, do you still think it makes sense?”
Sun Coral on the side obviously heard Mai's father's voice, jumped up and spit out fragrance.
"I got the breeder's qualification certificate."
Mai did not continue talking about this topic, but lightly passed it by.
The person on the other end of the phone was speechless, with rapid breathing and grunting sounds that were hesitating to speak alternately.
"You said I was worthless and I got the qualification certificate. You thought I couldn't live alone outside. I have come all the way to now. Not only am I happy every day, but I have also made many friends."
Facing the phone that was completely silent, Mai smiled heartily.
"Keep your promise."
After a long silence, the voice came again from the other end of the phone.
"Eight more badges."
Mai showed a wry smile: "I remember you said that you can just complete any of the eight badges and the breeder qualification certificate. Do you want to go back on your word?"
"What's so good about that guy named Luther? Why would you rather follow him around outside than go home?"
"I like him."
Silence.
The only sounds left on the phone were the breathing sounds on both sides.
"I don't want to be locked up at home by you and treated like a child who hasn't grown up. I'm not the weak Mai who lies in the hospital bed every day."
"I don't want to be taken care of, and I don't want to be treated like a eldest lady, who can stretch out my hands with clothes and open my mouth with food. I have never wanted that kind of life!"
"You never asked me what I wanted, you just gave me what you thought I wanted."
"I'm not a kid!"
Mai roared out with all her strength.
By Luther's side, she could feel that she was truly needed.
This feeling of being needed has never happened before, and it was the first time that she felt that her existence was so important.
Only by Luther's side did she feel no restraint and would not change her thoughts or actions because of the eyes of her family.
For Mai, the word "family" has only a layer of chains. They just hope that Mai can return to the family and be a good girl.
As for what Mai needed, no one cared.
"In this case, I will prove that he is incapable of protecting you."
Mai snorted and laughed.
"As a well-known entrepreneur, it would be very ugly if you lose in a battle. Please listen to my advice and don't do such a thing."
"You are too close to him to evaluate him objectively. You just defend him and beautify him. He is just a low-level trainer in Sinnoh, an ordinary person who can't even pass the preliminaries of the Suzuran Tournament."
Mai's father finished speaking seriously, thought for a while, and added something.
"I will go to Sirona in person to witness this battle."
"If Sirona doesn't stop you, fine, but what I want to say is that if you still want to have me as your daughter, you'd better fulfill your promise."
"You are my daughter!"
"But I'm also Mai."
Mai hung up the phone.
The talks collapsed. In fact, she shouldn't have had extravagant hopes in the first place. She and her father had long been unable to understand each other, and they couldn't even take a step back from each other.
Mai really wanted to think about her father and give in, but every time she gave in, he would continue to squeeze his right to choose.
Luther once said that her family was too controlling.
Mai felt that Luther was wrong. It was not that he was controlling, but that he was deformed.
Because Mai has been sick and weak since childhood, everyone in the family thinks that she is like a flower in the greenhouse, and will wither and die as long as she is left in the greenhouse.
This impression directly turned the family into flower farmers. They took care of her all the time and took care of Mai in the way they thought was right.
In their eyes, Luther was just a flower thief who took away flowers that were not suitable for growing outside.
Thinking of this, Mai suddenly felt that maybe it would be better for Sirona not to stop her.
This kind of thinking may mean that you need a lesson?
When we returned to the campsite, the battle continued.
Darkrai's black hole hit the Flame Monkey, and the Flame Monkey tried to force out the flames. Ash was also yelling to wake up, but it was useless, and the Flame Monkey still fell asleep.
"Eat dreams."
The powerful mental power attacked the Flame Monkey. The Flame Monkey, who was still in his dream, groaned and passed out.
"The second time...it's the same routine again."
"Pikachu has worked so hard to defeat three of them, isn't this okay..."
Mai looked behind Luther.
Marylou who was stunned, Meowth with fried hair, and Shuttlecock with a mark on his face, it seemed that these were the three that were killed by Pikachu.
Geely Egg was panting, probably from exhaustion after being wheeled.
Dream Demon is in good condition, I don’t know if he will play.
Xiaogang stepped forward to check the status of the Flame Monkey, indicating to Xiaozhi that the winner was decided.
However, Xiaogang was a little curious. He seemed to feel that after Luther sent Darkrai to the scene, Luther's battle was far less aggressive than the first few elves.
Whether it is controlling the rhythm, compressing Pikachu's physical strength, using auspicious eggs to gain rest time, Shuttlecock's harassment tactics, and Miaomiao's weather competition, Xiaozhi has a new understanding of battles, and it can be said that he has learned valuable battle skills.
But Darkrai's style of play seems... to have a bit of a trick-feeding feel?
