When Luther and Biko arrived at the venue dedicated to the battle, registration had already ended.
When the staff saw Bi Ke appearing, they came up to say hello.
"Are the preparations completed?"
The staff reported: "The elves used for battle have been checked to ensure that each one is in a battle-ready state."
"All the surrounding elves responsible for preventing accidental damage from skills have been released."
Following the direction pointed by the staff, Luther saw double scabbards, a strong shield sword monster, and some superpower elves moving around.
Bi Ke nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then get ready to start."
Because they were using elves provided by the Ether Foundation, many trainers on the ship came to compete, wanting to test their commanding abilities.
As a large-scale event after dinner, there are many people near the hall where the match is held, and watching the match is an entertainment item in the evening.
In the end, the number of participants was locked at thirty-two. When drawing lots to choose their opponents, Shijana waved in the direction of the podium where Luther was sitting.
Shijana's opponent was a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a red dress. Her parents were cheering outside the circled area before the game even started.
The staff of the Aether Foundation pushed a cart filled with Poké Balls to the center of the competition venue and asked Shijana and the girl in red to choose the Poké Balls they would use for the battle.
Luther misses the blind selection method very much. The first game he came to this world was in this format.
In the blind selection battle, the level of the elves used by everyone is basically the same. Occasionally there is a big difference or it happens to be suppressed, which can only be blamed on luck, so what needs to be considered is on-the-spot battle ideas and accurate decisions.
Unlike when she could use the illustrated book to check the status of her elves, Shijana did not have the opportunity to understand the situation of her elves, and she had no way of knowing what skills her elves were good at.
If he were to fight Sirona in this situation, Luther felt that he could expand a little, so that he would have a 50-50 win rate.
Because of the blind selection of one-on-one, there is no need to wait for the referee to say release before releasing the elf.
Shijana couldn't resist the urge to open the blind box and threw the elf out.
"Hey...is this a kettle?"
Shijana was stunned, and she was thinking quickly.
"Khuchu has the attributes of rocks and insects, so what skills might he be good at..."
The girl in red also released the elf she blindly selected.
Seeing the stinging jellyfish coming out of the elf ball, the girl in red smiled happily.
Kettle is of the insect and rock type, and is exactly restrained by the stinging jellyfish's water and the poisonous water type.
"It's dark to open the door." Bi Ke couldn't help but said.
This is the characteristic of blind selection. Whether you restrain or be restrained depends on luck.
But having enough luck doesn't mean you will definitely win.
"The game begins!" the referee standing on the sidelines ordered.
There is no such thing as attacking first and then attacking in this game. As long as the game starts, you can take action.
Shijana didn't care at all that the attributes were suppressed. She pointed at the pot that was shrinking on the ground, stretching its head, shrinking its shell and stretching its head back and forth, and ordered: "Split the power equally."
However, what she saw was the sluggish eyes of Huchu looking back at her after it had no effect.
Luther sighed. Although Huchu could learn to share strength equally, it was a highly technical skill. It was obvious that Huchu in front of him didn't fully understand it, so he fired a squib.
Shijana was not the only one who was squished, her opponent's stinging jellyfish was also silenced.
I saw a large amount of water splashed on Huchu. Huchu only felt a slight discomfort and did not feel that it was causing much harm at all.
The skill used by Stinging Jellyfish is hot water.
In this round of attacks, both sides were very fancy.
It is reasonable for Shijana to want to trick the opponent's attacks and special attacks.
I'm risking burns by using hot water. Is it necessary?
Shijana was the first to understand this blind selection method.
Don't try to use skills that the elf in front of you may not be able to use well, and try to send the opponent away with the most solid fighting style. This is the most practical technique.
"Gyro ball!"
This is a skill that becomes more powerful the slower you are than the opponent. It is also a skill that can be easily released as long as you use your body properly.
Sure enough, Huchu spun around and then jumped up, spinning and hitting the stinging jellyfish in the face.
At this time, the girl in red was still struggling with which skill she should release, and could only watch the stinging jellyfish being beaten.
Shijana smiled and accepted the gift from the other party: "Mud Shot."
The stinging jellyfish that was about to release its water gun was hit in the face by a mud shot, completely losing its vision. Shijana showed off her characteristic of pursuing and attacking fiercely.
It doesn’t matter if there’s no damage done to Huchu, just use the repetitions to make up for it.
Under the alternating attacks of mud shots and gyro balls, the stinging jellyfish lay down in less than ten seconds.
"Higana wins this battle!"
Xijana happily knelt down and touched Huke's outstretched little hand, took out the tree fruit she carried with her and fed him one.
"But I adapted quickly. Blind selection under this kind of rules requires the most solid fighting style. Give up those fancy battles and purely use your own judgment and the various characteristics of the elves to decide the outcome."
Bi Ke smiled and added for Luther: "Of course, not every elf is unable to use those highly technical skills with high risks and high rewards. It depends on whether the players dare to make judgments."
Luther also laughed: "If I were on the field, I wouldn't bet on this possibility. Players who are lucky won't get far. It's okay to throw a dice occasionally."
With Shijana and the girl in red at the forefront, the next players all figured out what was needed for this blind selection battle.
If you can use a water gun, you won't try water cannons; if you can shoot with mud, you won't try the power of the earth.
Of course, it's not that gambling dogs don't exist. Luther witnessed a boy of about fifteen years old wearing a white hoodie and chewing gum using a Devouring Beast to bet on a sludge bomb, blowing his opponent out of the game in two clicks.
This is interesting. Everyone originally played very conservatively, but when they saw that there was a person who was aggressive and won quickly by relying on luck, everyone's hearts started to move again.
Sure enough, the people who came out soon after started to try gambling on their skills, which suddenly overturned the original conservative battle atmosphere.
The last player among the sixteen groups to appear was Acerola.
After she waited for her opponent to finish choosing and show off her chosen Rose Redo, Acellola reached out and pulled out a Poké Ball from the bottom of the cart.
It was not useless for Acerola to pick and choose. The elf she finally selected was Circle Bear, which can be regarded as a very capable elf.
No one noticed that Arcelora actually smiled after seeing the Ring Bear appear.
