The friendly match started in the ranger camp, and all the new rangers who joined the Autumn Leaf Forest tonight were absent.
The veteran rangers generously took over the newcomers' classes, allowing this group of newcomers who couldn't wait to compete with trainers from other regions to successfully realize their dreams.
The news that Luther is the winner of the Sinnoh Regional Conference has long been spread in the forest area. Now everyone wants to draw lots to get Luther, eager to gain insights and experiences from competing against powerful trainers from Luther.
The person who finally drew Luther was a young man named Ayu who was about the same age as Luther.
Seeing him excitedly holding the lottery ticket, Luther couldn't help but smile.
I didn't expect that I would become the favorite in the eyes of trainers of the same age.
Because it was a competition, the atmosphere of the friendly match was very friendly. The trainers who did not go on stage to compete with others took the snacks and drinks provided by the forest area, chatted with the people around them, and commented on the competition.
The opponents in the friendly match between He Gui and Mo Gan were relatively weak. After testing out the gap, they adopted a method of not fighting at full strength to help the opponent's trainer feel the rhythm of the battle.
This operation made Professor Xizhu who was fighting on the side nod frequently.
It's time for researchers from various regions to return, and today they also came to the scene to watch the friendly match.
After the autumn observation period ended, they spent the whole winter summarizing the observation data. Because of this, Mu He successfully took a month's vacation with his instructor and decided to follow Luther to visit the island.
When it was Luther and Ayu's turn to play, Ayu who walked up to Luther hesitated and said: "Please don't give in because of my lack of strength. We have discussed it beforehand. No matter who draws you, they want to meet you."
True strength."
Luther asked seriously: "Is this good? If you slow down the pace of the battle, you can learn more from the battle, which is far more useful than feeling the true strength."
Ayu thought for a moment and nodded heavily: "My father said that a strong trainer will make his opponent feel extremely uncomfortable during a battle."
"This is a kind of momentum. If you don't have experience competing with these trainers, you will often be at a disadvantage mentally."
"What we want to feel is this momentum. This is an obstacle that we must face sooner or later on the road to becoming an excellent trainer. It will be a good thing for all of us to experience it in advance."
Luther sighed, he was curious whether he had the momentum that Ayu said.
However, he admired the learning spirit of these new rangers and had no reason to refuse.
"Two versus two, I will use two elves that have appeared in the game. In my opinion, different elves emit different auras during the battle, and they can show different effects when coordinated with the trainer's instructions.
effect.”
Ayu was overjoyed. Everyone's friendly matches were conducted one-on-one. Luther did this so that they could observe what they needed more intuitively.
Luther stopped Ayu from bowing, wondering why such a simple effort caused such a big reaction from them.
Some noisy sounds in the camp quickly quieted down due to Luther's appearance, and all the trainers stared at the venue intently.
Mu He found a good seat next to his senior brothers and sisters, and excitedly waited for the game to start.
Xi Zhu also watched Luther attentively. Although she had watched Luther's battle in the live broadcast and knew why her grandson admired Luther so much, she was still curious about what she could see and feel at the scene.
.
When the forest ranger said that the game would be two versus two, everyone applauded, both for Ayu and for Luther.
In the first battle, Luther used Mariluli. He took the lead in releasing the ball, giving Ayu space to choose to target the elves.
Ayu stared at Mariluli and observed it for a while, then smiled and took out the electric beast, which showed restraint in terms of attributes.
Although there is basically no chance of winning, what if it happens?
Xizhu coughed and informed the people around him: "Luther's Mariluli is one of his trump cards on the road to winning the championship. His strongest skills are fighting and ice attributes."
Listening to Xizhu's words, many people were a little surprised that Mariluli's strongest skill was not the water type.
"Ayu, please attack first." Luther made a "please" gesture.
Ayu took a deep breath and shouted: "Thunder."
A barrel-thick electric arc fell from the sky and struck Mariluli, causing the bystanders to scream in surprise.
After seeing Luther's eyes, Marili didn't move at all, or took advantage of the situation to counterattack, but simply finished the skill.
Seeing Mariluli's eyes tightly closed, as if suppressing her own pain, Ayu couldn't help shouting Thunder Fist, intending to take advantage of the situation to pursue her.
The moment the electric beast punched, Mariluli's droopy ears stood upright and her eyes were sharp.
Everyone who was still thinking about why Luther didn't move was all shocked. Mali Luli's chubby body turned lightly. There was no energy surging at all, and she lightly smashed her fist into the thunder fist swung by the electric beast.
.
When the electric beast was knocked away by this punch, it hit the log pile in the camp and fell unconscious. Everyone's mouths were opened wide enough to fit an egg.
"Speaking from experience, when you cannot accurately estimate the strength of your opponent's elf, don't rush into close combat." Luther said to the trainers around him who had not yet recovered, "This will only give others a chance to defeat you comfortably.
.”
"It would have been good if Ayu had continued to use thunder just now. At the same level, implementing restraint and suppressing attributes is the correct way to play. But being reckless without saying anything is definitely the riskiest option."
This kind of operation is the same as jumping up and launching a mid-air attack during a duel. It may give the opponent a chance to come back at any time.
I don't understand why today's trainers like to hit the opponent hard and then get close immediately.
Who is the leader of this trend and trend of being indecisive when faced with a problem and keeping close to one another? It is purely to teach bad trainers to newbies.
Sijana, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, nodded frequently, took out the pamphlet she bought, and wrote down all Luther's words.
Ayu checked the electric beast's body and breathed a sigh of relief after finding that it was fine.
The moment Mariluli punched him, he suddenly felt an extremely terrifying aura.
It was as if a hungry beast had locked onto him and would pounce on him the next second and bite him.
He didn't know if others felt it, but as Luther's opponent, he did feel the sense of oppression described by his father.
Everyone was curious about which elf Luther would use in the second game. When they were looking at the elf ball on Luther's belt, they didn't notice that a dark shadow crawled out of Luther's shadow.
Xizhu gave some popular information to the trainer who was not familiar with the mythology of the Sinnoh region: "In the legend of Sinnoh, there is an elf who can make people fall into nightmares and cannot wake up, Darkrai."
"Oh, those incompetent senior rangers of yours were tortured to the point of nervous breakdown by him."
