Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 270 This Nine-Tailed Fox is clearly very strong, yet it's too cautious (Seeking monthly votes!)
All eyes are on you.

Truly the center of attention.

Amid cheers from tens of thousands of spectators and an impassioned introduction by the commentator, the two quarterfinalists, Jing He and Mei Lan Ni, entered the massive arena.

The oval-shaped stadium was packed with people, and cheers surged like a tidal wave.

boom! boom! boom--

Brilliant fireworks burst in the sky, foreshadowing a spectacular competition to come, just like fireworks.

"Go, Teacher Jinghe!!"

"Go, Miss Melanie!!"

Both of them have a considerable number of supporters and even fans.

"Teacher Jinghe, I will definitely do my best!" Melanie said solemnly, dressed in a robe that resembled that of a magician.

She was eliminated in the semifinals of the Carlos Miare tournament back then, and this time her goal is the championship!

And now, this is probably the strongest opponent she has ever faced since becoming a trainer.

Jinghe adjusted his monocle, nodded, and said kindly:

"Come on, you can do it."

Melanie relaxed slightly and nodded vigorously.

For some reason, when she was with Jing He, she had the illusion of being with her teacher.

That gentle tone sounded like an elder encouraging a younger person.

Although it felt a bit strange, she did feel much more relaxed.

"Professor Oak, is this the first time Jinghe has used a 6v6 all-team rotation mode?" Shiba, sitting in the guest seat, asked in a deep voice with his arms crossed.

Professor Oak chuckled. "Yes, it reminds me of when I first participated in a major tournament."

"The 6v6 rotation mode places higher demands on trainers." Shiba could tell from Professor Oak's high regard for Jing He.

"If it's him, there shouldn't be any problem."

Uncle Liu, sitting in a wheelchair to the side, glanced at the two of them but did not participate in the discussion.

He didn't know where Professor Oak's blind trust came from.

Just because, like him, you get along well with Pokémon?
If that's all it takes to become a top trainer, then what's the point of training?
Known as "Winter's Plum," he believes in rigorous training and is determined to maintain a certain distance from Pokémon, refusing to develop a trusting relationship with them.

Just as Professor Oak and Shiba were discussing, the referee's flag fell to the ground.

"The battle begins!"

Melanie waved her magician's robe, tossed out a Poké Ball, and amidst a flash of red light, a Pokémon appeared on the field.

"Let's go, Sun Rock!"

Its body is orange, with eight yellow rock spikes extending from its sides. The front and back of its body are decorated with patterns formed by many small yellow stones, and its shape resembles a sun made of rocks.

Solrock, a meteorite Pokémon, is a Rock/Psychic type Pokémon with the ability Levitate.

It is said to be a Pokémon that fell from the universe and is a manifestation of the sun.

"Oh ho ho, Solrock? That's quite a rare Pokémon." Professor Oak's eyes lit up, clearly showing interest.

at the same time.

From Jinghe's side, the Pokémon he had summoned also appeared in a red light.

"Ouch~~:.ヽ().:+"

Its snow-white, crystalline body, slender form, and nine outstretched tails accompanied by drifting, glistening specks.

Under the sunlight, it presents an extremely elegant and pure beauty.

The moment Nine-Tails appeared, the noise from the audience instantly ceased.

But after a brief silence, an even more exaggerated howling sound erupted.

"So beautiful!"

"So beautiful! Is this the Ice Nine-Tails?"

"It's finally Ninetales' turn as Teacher Jinghe's fourth Pokémon in this competition!"

The constant stream of praise and compliments is the best interpretation of the Nine-Tailed Fox's form.

"Aww, aww~ (//▽//)"

The Ice Nine-Tails was still a little shy, after all, it was its first time fighting in front of so many people.

But now it's slowly getting used to it.

Melanie squinted.

Is it the Alola form of Nine-Tails?
The attributes are not a disadvantage.

There's a chance!
call--

Snowflakes drifted down, covering the entire venue like fluffy goose feathers, causing the temperature inside the stadium to drop sharply.

"Hiss, it's so cold!"

"Is this a characteristic of snowfall? It can affect such a large area; isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

"."

In the audience, especially some of those sitting near the front, people couldn't help but rub their arms.

Meanwhile, in the guest seats, Liu Bo, who had been expressionless the whole time, subconsciously leaned forward slightly and squinted his eyes when he saw this scene.

This Ice Nine-Tailed Fox is exceptionally well-trained!
However, Melanie was not greatly affected and took the initiative to attack.

"Sun Rock, Invisible Rock!"

In a battle mode where all players rotate, switching Pokémon is almost inevitable. Setting up Stealth Rock first is a strategic consideration for a long-term strategy.

Rocks appeared out of thin air, appearing in various corners of the arena, before quickly disappearing again.

These rocks will cause the Pokémon that Jinghe replaces to suffer damage as soon as it appears on the field.

While Sunrock was setting up Invisible Rocks, Ninetales was also setting them up.
"It's Aurora Curtain! Melanie started with Stealth Rock, while Jinghe chose Aurora Curtain!"

The commentator said meaningfully:
"It seems both sides are being very cautious in this battle, and their tactics are quite conservative!"

The audience members in the stands also chimed in.

"In the last match, the Great Forger displayed extreme violence. In this match, will Teacher Jinghe show us his steady side?"

"Capable of being strong yet yielding, able to attack yet able to defend, that's the ever-changing Teacher Jinghe."

"."

Seeing that Jinghe did not launch an attack, Melanie seemed to sense a tacit understanding.

"Sun Rock, Cosmic Power!"

[Cosmic Power: Increases both the user's physical and special defense]

Then let's all stack buffs together. When the time comes, she can use Solrock to take over, switch in an ace Pokémon, and then we can sweep the team.

however.

Just as she gave the order, she saw a blurry, white figure moving at an incredible speed towards the Sun Rock amidst the falling snow.

Ok?
Isn't Ninetales a special attack-oriented Pokémon?
With the added benefit of snow, ice-type moves would be the best choice, right?
She had even planned it out in her mind: when Feixue arrived, she would have Sun Rock use the power of the sun to create a vortex of fire that would surround her.

Then, Solrock can take the opportunity to stack cosmic power and pass it on to the next Pokémon, thus completing the mission.

Before the power originating from the universe had fully descended, the Ice Nine-Tails had already rushed to the front of the Sun Rock.

The nine snow-white tails gleamed with a metallic sheen.

At the same time, the nine tails curled up and intertwined together, as if they had solidified into a giant iron hammer, giving one a vague glimpse of the great blacksmith.

Iron Tail!

boom! !

Its tail slammed heavily onto the Sun Rock.

A fine crack immediately appeared on its rock-like body. Then, it was sent flying backward.

Others have a single iron tail, but we have nine; that's how powerful we are.
Boom! !

The Sun Rock slammed heavily against the wall, instantly losing its combat capability!
The whole place fell silent for a moment.

The audience was stunned, and even the host was speechless.

One second he was saying that Jinghe played cautiously today, and the next second he was proven wrong?

"Ouch~~ε=ε=┌(>_<)┘"

The Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, having been struck in one blow, ran off towards its own side of the arena without looking back.

That was close!

If the opponent's cosmic power were to fall, it would definitely be difficult to fight, right?
I almost lost, boohoo~~
However, that attack just now was also a test of the power of its Iron Tail, which it had been training hard for recently.

When comparing tails with Cynthia's Eevee in the future, I shouldn't lose.
Melanie pursed her lips.

I really didn't expect Nine-Tails to use a move like Iron Tail.

No normal person would hit like that, right?

Fortunately, the Sun Rock's invisibility rock had already fallen, and they also discovered that Teacher Jinghe's Ice Nine-Tailed Fox was likely using a dual-wielding style.

Taking a slight breath, she retrieved the Solar Rock and threw out the second Poké Ball.

"Go, Slowpoke!"

Slowpoke looks almost identical to Slowpoke, the only difference being that it walks upright and has a shell in its tail, but its eyes are equally perplexing.

Slowbro is the evolved form of Slowpoke, a hermit crab Pokémon, and is of the Water/Psychic type.

As we all know, ice and water go hand in hand.

However, the saying "ice and water are inseparable" means that most Water-type Pokémon can master some Ice-type moves, while Ice-type Pokémon may not be able to master Water-type moves.

"Ya-dong?"

The Slowpoke tilted its head and scratched its head.

Looking at the Slowbro.

A question mark appeared above the heads of both Jing He and Bing Jiuwei.

?

Meilani looked serious.

Since we're going to fight back, then let's fight back!

"Slowpoke, Psychic!"

"Nine-Tails, a trick!"

Melanie: ?

Isn't this supposed to be a head-on attack?
It's turned into an enhancement again?

She doubted the "tacit understanding" between Teacher Jinghe and her, wondering why he was sometimes a beat slower in responding.

do not care!
Melanie was heartbroken.

Even if Jing He chooses to strengthen herself, she can still defeat or injure it just like the previous Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, so she will have to be replaced.

Then, the rhythm of this battle will be back in her hands!

"Ya-dong—!"

Although Slowbro looks dull, it reacts quickly. As its eyes glow with superpowers, a powerful mental force surges towards Ninetales.

boom! !

With focused mental energy, he immediately sensed the resistance from the aurora barrier.

This was within Melanie's expectations.

However, she has absolute confidence in her Slowpoke's superpowers. Despite its seemingly dull appearance, it is actually a natural-born superpowered being.

"Smash it, Slowbro!"

ka ka ka-

Cracks appeared on the aurora screen.

finally.

The aurora curtain was forcibly shattered by Slowbro's psychic power.

"It's broken! What incredible superpowers!"

"Oh no, our little Nine-Tailed Fox is in big trouble! It's still playing tricks!"

"Has Teacher Jinghe finally become a bit overconfident?"

however.

Whether it was the audience, Melanie, or the commentator, the joy and surprise in their hearts had no time to spread before they were instantly replaced by astonishment.

boom! !

After breaking through an aurora barrier, the superpowers were once again blocked by the aurora barrier.

?

A question mark appeared above everyone's head, including Melanie and the Slowpoke.

then.

The Dumb Beast gritted its teeth and broke through another layer of aurora curtain.

But what awaited it was a third layer of aurora curtain.

? ?
In the dim light, the audience seemed to see countless aurora curtains lying between Slowbro and Ninetales.

"This"

For a moment, the commentator didn't know what to say.

"Ouch!"

At this moment, the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox's scheme was finally complete. Its nine tails curled up, and a bright blue ball of light condensed, its extremely cold aura seemingly freezing the air.

Amidst the ice flowers formed by condensed water vapor, a beam of light interwoven with pale blue, white, and purple shone from the sphere.

Freeze-drying!

Kaka! !
Slowbro's Psychic attack was blocked by the Aurora Barrier, but Ninetales' Freeze-Dry had no effect whatsoever, hitting Slowbro directly before it could dodge.

In an instant, the Dumbshell Beast was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Freeze-dry is an Ice-type move, but it can deal double damage to Water-type Pokémon.

In addition to the aid of trickery
"Slowpoke, Slowpoke is unable to battle!" the referee shouted, his teeth chattering.

Wow——! !

The stadium, which had been silent for some time, suddenly erupted with a deafening roar.

"Outrageous! How many layers of aurora curtain would that require?! Or am I seeing things? Am my eyes playing tricks on me?"

"One hit and it's dead! This Nine-Tails is clearly so strong."

"Hiss—So, this Nine-Tails is clearly very strong, yet excessively cautious?"

"."

"Ouch~~"

Little Nine-Tailed Fox exhaled softly, patted its chest, and looked at Jing He.

The opponent is so strong, they broke through two layers of aurora barrier in one go. If we're not careful, we might lose.

Jinghe naturally knew what kind of personality her little nine-tailed fox had, so she nodded slightly with a straight face.

"If we play it safe, we should have a chance to win six games in a row."

Still writing, not sure how long it will take. Because I don't know how many words I'll write, but the next chapter will definitely be finished.
