Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 558 Shrimp and Pig's Heart! (Two chapters combined, please vote!)
"Flygon, a mysterious Pokémon, is a Ground/Dragon type. The sandstorms it creates are accompanied by the sound of its wings flapping, which sounds like a beautiful female song, hence it is called the Desert Spirit Roto!"

The desert dragonfly is mostly green, and its appearance does resemble that of a dragonfly. It has two green, diamond-shaped wings with red edges, two legs and claws like a dragon, and a long, thick tail.

Jinghe found inspiration in the rainy weather created by Goodra. Since Dragonite can take advantage of rainy weather, can't Flygon also take advantage of the sandstorm weather created by Larvitar?

Not only does it save you the time of summoning a sandstorm, but you can also use the sandstorm to your advantage.

This is also why Chibana "abandoned" the coal tortoise.

Of course.

Although Torkoal lost its ability to battle, it still caused considerable damage to Larvitar, who will most likely be unable to continue fighting.

It's a one-for-one exchange, so it's not a loss.

as predicted.

Jinghe took the young Kilas back.

to be frank.

In Jing He's opinion, Young Kira's performance in this battle far exceeded his expectations.

The reason he wanted the little guy to try out a tournament like the Masters was partly because the little guy's recent performance had indeed improved quite a bit, and he had absorbed a lot of good stuff, even managing to gnaw off a small piece of the Earth Slab.

On the other hand, because their opponent, Cibana, is the "Child of Weather," Young Kiras might be able to play a role in the battle for weather.

Especially when facing Torkoal, a Pokémon whose type is completely countered.

And that's exactly what happened. Larvitar fought against Torkoal, and despite the significant level difference, it still managed to achieve a good result.

Now, with the "cooperation" of Chibana, Larvitar has even defeated Coalossal.

This wave will definitely cause Young Gilas's experience points to skyrocket.

Seeing Qibana summon the desert dragonfly, Jinghe's expression turned somewhat strange.

"Another earth dragon."

Today is definitely Garchomp's day.

A true "earth dragon" can perform a dragon dance, while a fake "earth dragon" only uses the sound of dragons to fill the void.

Furthermore, the real "Ground Dragon" is immune to Ground-type moves, while the fake "Ground Dragon" will take normal damage from Ground-type moves.

but.

Qibana wanted to take advantage of the sandstorm from Young Kiras, while Jinghe sent Young Kiras first, precisely to "fish out" the desert dragonfly.

Now it's finally out, so...
"Freeze everything, Nine-Tails!"

As the Poké Ball was thrown out, appearing in the red light was the Snow White Ninetales, with its slender, snow-white body, light and agile steps, and nine gracefully extended tails!
"Ouch——"

After the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox appeared, its light blue, crystal-clear eyes sparkled, its head was slightly raised, and its ethereal voice resounded throughout the arena.

For a while.

The previously rampant sandstorm came to a halt, and delicate snowflakes began to fall.

snow!

Seeing this, Cibana's face fell.

He knew it would be like this, which is why he was hesitant to summon the Desert Dragonfly using Young Gilas's sandstorm at the beginning.

In the six-choose-four format, guessing the opponent's chosen Pokémon and tactics is also very important.

He knew that Jinghe had a Ninetales with extremely strong Ice-type abilities among his Pokémon, and he also knew that this Ninetales posed the greatest threat to his team composition and tactics.

So he initially sent out Torkoal, which has the "Sunlight" ability. On one hand, he wanted to gamble on Jinghe's first Ice Ninetales, and on the other hand, he wanted to see if he could use Torkoal's "Sunlight" ability to force out Ice Ninetales, which has the "Snowfall" ability.

Little did anyone know, Jinghe immediately unleashed an unexpected move: Young Gilas.

This completely disrupted his plans.

Therefore, he had no choice but to use Goodra, a Dragon-type Pokémon, and rainy weather as "bait," but Jinghe took advantage of the situation instead.

Not only did they fail to force Jinghe to reveal his true intentions, they also found themselves becoming increasingly passive.

Needless to say, it's even more so now.

However, he is not without a chance.

If Larvitar can steal the weather from Torkoal, which has the "Sunlight" ability, then Flygon, as a "desert Pokémon," might also be able to steal the weather from Ninetales!

Moreover, before the snowfall completely covers the entire area, there are still remnants of the raging sandstorm, which is the power that the desert dragonfly can rely on, and it is also the ultimate goal that Chibana had previously planned.

Using the violent sandstorms left behind by the young Cygnus to seize control of the weather!

"Desert dragonfly, kicking up sand!"

"Sing—!!"

The desert dragonfly's wings vibrated rapidly, and as its body was enveloped in rich ground-based energy, wisps of sand appeared, accompanied by the melodious sound of its wings rubbing and colliding with the sand grains.

The sandstorm weather, replaced by the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, seems to be making a comeback.

“Nine-Tailed Fox.” Jing He raised an eyebrow and called out softly.

"Ouch~~"

Ice Nine-Tailed Fox naturally understood.

Trying to steal the weather from yourself?
Back in the Kanto region, it held its own against Zapdos in the battle for weather, and even managed to snatch the weather from Zapdos.

It is no longer the same as it was back then.

In addition, it recently gained a lot of benefits from Kyurem, the Ice Dragon. As an Ice-type Pokémon with the "Snowfall" ability, how could it possibly lose to other Pokémon with its instinct to control ice and snow?
next second.

A chilling aura emanated from the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox once more, and the sandstorm, which seemed to be recovering, vanished completely in an instant.

The desert dragonfly of Chibana stared blankly at the surrounding white snow, feeling its body grow colder and colder with each flap of its wings.

"It seems Flygon failed to snatch the weather from Ninetales," Cynthia murmured.

A Masters tournament has turned into a battle over the weather?
The weather, which had previously been evenly matched with the Nine-Tailed Fox, was now completely powerless against it.

Ice and snow have become everything!
"I...I feel a little cold too."

"The 'Sunlight' Torkoal couldn't beat Larvitar, and Flygon couldn't steal the weather from the 'Snowfall' Ice-type Ninetales. Raihana was completely defeated when it came to weather."

"I can't win against her no matter what, so it turns out Teacher Jinghe is a 'weather-dependent person'."

"Wait, the Weather Man, the Weather Child, this..."

The audience was somewhat surprised by the result, but quickly accepted it.

after all
The weather inside the protective shield was starting to affect the outside, with frost appearing on the shield itself, demonstrating just how low the temperature was inside.

Such powerful ice-type power!
Cibana was deeply surprised.

Although I already knew that Teacher Jinghe's Ice Nine-Tailed Fox was strong, I didn't expect that this ice-type power would be this strong.
But
With a determined look, Chibana said in a deep voice, "Desert Dragonfly, unleash a heatwave, Big Flame Burst!"

Fire-type moves are always a good choice when dealing with Ice-type Pokémon.

"Sing—!!"

The desert dragonfly vibrated its wings violently again, releasing heat from within, and its body immediately felt hot again.

As it stirs up heat waves, the hot air collides with the cold air, rising up white mist, revealing wisps of red flames.

Big characters explode!

With the efforts of the desert dragonfly, flames erupted, and a scorching heat gradually spread.

boom! !

just.

Before the Desert Dragonfly's flames could even reach the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, they were blocked by a series of dazzling thin curtains.

Aurora Screen!
At the same time, an ice wall condensed at an extremely fast speed, completely blocking the impact of the flames.

Permanent ice wall!

After obtaining Kyurem's power, Ninetales not only became more outstanding in its mastery of ice-type energy, but also became increasingly proficient in the special technique of using ice-type energy, "Permanent Ice Wall," which is not a move.

However, after withstanding the Desert Dragonfly's massive burst of flames, the Ice Nine-Tails did not show much relief; instead, its expression became solemn.

That's a powerful fire-type move!
Be careful!
Otherwise, you might easily fall victim to it.

Jing He was well aware of Ice Nine-Tailed Fox's thoughts. He glanced at the increasingly serious Ice Nine-Tailed Fox with a slightly strange look, then swept his gaze over the aurora curtain that still had countless layers remaining.
Hmm. It's always better to be careful.

But Nine-Tails' reaction gave Kibana and Flygon a misconception.

Have the opportunity!
"Desert Dragonfly!" Cibana exclaimed excitedly, "Let's stir up the hot wind and bring in the heat again!"

Suppressing the cold air might allow us to regain control of the weather.

woohoo-

The howling cold wind and the scorching hot wind created a strong opposing airflow within the battlefield, and it seemed that the snowstorm was indeed showing signs of abating.

"Ice Nine-Tailed Fox." Jing He coughed lightly and finally spoke, "Blizzard!"

"Ouch——!!"

With a solemn expression, the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox let out a long cry, its light blue eyes gradually turning white.

The ice and snow, which seemed to be suppressed by the flames, suddenly surged at this moment. With the howling north wind, the snow and ice intensified, forming a terrifying blizzard that completely engulfed the desert dragonfly!
Cibana's expression changed drastically.

how come.
"Desert Dragonfly, breathe fire to envelop yourself!"

"Ouch~~"

Sensing the struggle of the flames, the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox spoke again, releasing its chilling aura completely without reservation.

Frozen world!
ka ka ka-

Frost formed on the protective shield of the arena under the astonished gaze of the audience!
Even the protective shield is frozen solid?!

As the intense chill in the arena subsided slightly, and they were able to see the situation on the field more clearly...
wow——

Ice sculpture!

A lifelike ice sculpture of a desert dragonfly!
If it were just an ice sculpture of a desert dragonfly, that would be fine.

The point is.

Surprisingly, the desert dragonfly's body was enveloped in a ring of intense, burning flames!

Even the flames were frozen solid?!

Flames freezing?

what is this?
On the commentary stage, Cynthia pursed her lips and slowly said, "Powerful ice energy...this move is somewhat similar to Kyurem's Frozen World."

Kyurem's special move?

"Of course, another reason is that Flygon is not a Fire-type Pokémon after all."

Furthermore, as a Ground/Dragon type Pokémon, Flygon is four times weak to Ice!
It's normal to get one-shotted with a four-fold weakness to ice.

It appeared that the flames were frozen together, but that was not the case. The flames had been completely neutralized by the ice energy, and what lay beneath it was merely a "shell".

The Desert Dragonfly spent too much time and energy fighting against the Ice Ninetail for the weather.

Qibana, who was also staring blankly at this scene, understood the key point after a brief moment of distraction and a subconscious review.

They're paying too much attention to the weather.

It seemed a bit like putting the cart before the horse. Taking a deep breath, Qibana barely managed to calm his astonishment, took out a Poké Ball, and recalled the frozen Flygon.

This battle
it's not finished yet!
Kibana's eyes narrowed, and he grabbed his last Poké Ball. "Go!"

A red light shone out.

"Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon!"

Most of its body is a bright metallic silver, with its arms and feet resembling heavy bridge piers. Its deep blue body is like the construction of a bridge, and when fully flattened, it becomes an important anchor point for the bridge.

"Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon, an alloy Pokémon, is a Steel/Dragon type. It appears to be a Pokémon made entirely of metal, but because it is made of aluminum steel, its body remains agile!"

Raihana's trump card is his Steel- and Dragon-type Pokémon, which is also his last resort.

Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, four times weak to Steel!
Furthermore, although Aluminosi Bridge Dragon is a Dragon-type Pokémon, it is not weak to Ice, Fairy, or Dragon types.

Almost none of the weaknesses of Dragon-type Pokémon are present in Agility-type Bridgedra.

Furthermore, the combination of Steel and Dragon types gives Aluminum Bridge Dragon resistance to nine types and immunity to one type, leaving it only with weaknesses to Fighting and Ground.

These attributes are undeniably excellent!

The advantage or disadvantage can be reversed in an instant.

"Hiss!!"

The Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon slammed its hands heavily on the ground, roaring and kicking up a large cloud of snow dust as it roared at the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox.

The Ice Nine-Tails' expression was serious, sensing a strong sense of threat.

So strong!

We need to be extra careful!
Aurora Screen!
"Aluminum-steel bridge dragon, split the tiles!"

"Hiss!!"

Dark red energy emanated from the heavy arms of the aluminum-steel bridge dragon, shattering all the aurora screens within its field of vision in one fell swoop.

ka ka ka-

Accompanied by a dense series of clicking sounds, Chibana's expression immediately froze.

How many layers of aurora curtains have been erected invisibly?
The entire audience fell silent upon witnessing this scene.

Goodness, are you going to fill the entire venue with aurora screens?

The Desert Dragonfly just now deserved its defeat.

Otherwise, if a desert dragonfly finally manages to break through dozens of aurora curtains only to discover there are even more, it might be too much for it to handle.

"Ouch~~"

Seeing that the aurora curtain she had painstakingly erected had been completely shattered, Ice Nine-Tailed Fox was a little angry.

A terrifying blizzard swept across the area once again.

The sturdy aluminum-steel bridge was immediately covered with a layer of snow.

But it seemed unmoved, only raising its arms at Cibana's prompting.

"Aluminum-steel bridge duct, cannon beam!"

buzzing-

Between the raised arms of the aluminum-steel bridge dragon, a gleaming metallic luster began to converge wildly, even accompanied by faint arcs of light leaping about. Energy rapidly gathered until a beam of light shot out as if it wanted to pierce through everything.

The metallic beam of light stood out starkly against the backdrop of the fierce blizzard.

Kaka! !
One after another, ice walls quickly rose up and stood in front of the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox.

However, the ice wall only held out for a moment before being shattered by the impact of the metal beam.

boom! !

In the vast snowfield, the figure of the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox exploded like a bubble, leaving a huge crater in the snow.

substitute?

snowman?

In an instant, Qibana and Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon discovered that a large number of Ice Nine-Tailed Fox shadows had appeared throughout the vast arena.
"Playing hide-and-seek in the snow"

Some viewers who were familiar with Jing He recognized this move as part of an early tactic used by Jing He and Bing Jiuwei.

Cibaner narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"Aluminum-steel bridge, metallic sound!"

"Hiss—!!"

As the aluminum-steel bridge dragon's arms rubbed against each other, it produced a piercing, sharp, and tooth-grinding metallic scraping sound, making the teeth of the audience in the front row feel weak.

No matter where you hide, the metallic sound that covers the entire field will greatly reduce the Special Defense of Ice Ninetales!
As a Steel-type Pokémon, it can make several mistakes when facing Ice-type Ninetales, but it only needs to make one mistake.
suddenly.

Ciban's expression changed again, and he hurriedly said:
"Aluminum-steel bridge, proceed with caution underground"

Before he could finish speaking, a rumbling sound came from underground of the aluminum-steel bridge.

next second.

The Ice Nine-Tailed Fox burst out of the ground and actually overturned the Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon!
Followed by.

A beam of red light shot out and landed on the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Come back, Kyuubi."

With four times the strength of the weak steel, continuing to attack against the aluminum-steel bridge dragon would be somewhat disadvantageous.

Instead, it was...
"Cheep!!"

The master blacksmith, carrying a hammer, stood smiling in the snow, his gaze fixed intently on the aluminum-steel bridge dragon, as if he were looking at it intently.
food?

No, prey!

The aluminum-steel bridge trembled involuntarily.

No.

Previously, the Coal Turtle didn't believe the other party's claim that they were there for an extra meal, but now that it has seen the Giant Blacksmith, it's starting to believe it.

woohoo-

The master blacksmith swung his hammer and licked his lips with his little tongue.

You look so tough, you must have to swing a lot of hammers, right?
"High-five surprise!"

"just!"

The master blacksmith quickly approached the aluminum-steel bridge dragon, and halfway there, he suddenly threw his hammer, smashing it down hard.

Just listen
clang! !

The sound of metal colliding head-on, accompanied by sparks flying everywhere, and the aluminum-steel bridge dragon staggering back two steps echoed.

Before the aluminum-steel bridge dragon could even be surprised by the weight of the giant forger's hammer, it fell into a state of "shrinking in fear".

The massive metal hammer that struck the Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon spun backward and was caught by the Great Blacksmith, who leaped into the air, before swinging it back at the dragon.

"Frolic!"

boom! !

Because it was caught in a state of "shrinking," the aluminum-steel bridge had no chance to react and was hit head-on.

Dang Dang Dang Dang——

Amidst a cloud of pinkish dust, the sound of hammers striking metal could be heard.

"Is this... blacksmithing?"

"It's all over. The aluminum-steel bridge has really met its 'natural enemy' this time."

"I always felt that Master Jinghe's master forging was waiting for this aluminum-steel bridge dragon."

"Hiss—!!"

Finally, the aluminum-steel bridge dragon, having broken free from its "cowardice," let out a pitiful cry. It was the first time it had encountered an opponent who was interested in its body.
"Aluminum-steel bridge dragon!!" Cibana hadn't expected things to turn out this way and immediately shouted:
"Iron Hoof Ray!"

"Hiss!!"

The aluminum-steel bridge dragon's limbs slammed heavily onto the ground, and as it opened its mouth, a terrifying metallic energy gathered wildly, with countless fine arcs of light dancing erratically.

With a loud "boom," the heavy aluminum-steel bridge dragon was pushed back several meters, as if a terrifying tank had fired its last and most powerful shell.

Iron Hoof Beam is a Steel-type move with a terrifying power of 140 points, but it also comes at a great cost, consuming half of the user's stamina.

This move is truly a desperate attempt.

But then the master blacksmith shouted:
"just!!"

Well come!
It excitedly raised its hammer with both hands, using its huge hammer handles to meet the iron hoof beams of the aluminum-steel bridge dragon head-on.

Rumbling--

Under the terrifying impact, the blacksmith's hammer made a "crunching" sound, as if it were being frantically compressed and polished.

Should we defend head-on?

this.
When the terrifying shockwave dissipated, the great blacksmith stood in the snow, leaning on his hammer handle, panting heavily, his forehead covered in sweat.

At the same time, it can be seen that the hammer in the master blacksmith's hand seems to be a size smaller.
"just!!!"

The master blacksmith, however, was overjoyed and called out to the aluminum-steel bridge dragon.

Thank you~
It was struggling to integrate the plasma destroyer into the hammer when someone came to help it forge the hammer.
Thank you so much.

You're a good person!
Others didn't understand what the giant forger said, but Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon and Qibana did.

them:"."

Not
You eat coal-bearing turtles, and you treat aluminum-steel bridge dragons like forged metal?
Of course, the great blacksmith was not unscathed. Although the hammer absorbed some of the impact, he was still injured.

However, the Great Blacksmith was injured physically and with his hammer, while the Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon suffered psychological trauma.

How do we fight this?
The audience didn't understand at first, but that's okay, Cynthia does.

She gave everyone a brief translation, and then everyone understood.

"Shrimp and pork heart! Teacher Jinghe, shrimp and pork heart!"

"Shrimp with pig's heart? That's terrifying!"

"Physical injury -10, psychological blow -1000!"

To be honest, Jing He hadn't expected what the master blacksmith said.

After all, our Hemsworth is an honest person, she's just telling the truth.

cough.
"End this, Greatsmith, the final mighty hammer!"

As Jing He gave his final instructions, the giant blacksmith once again looked intently at the aluminum-steel bridge dragon. The other party had helped forge the hammer, and now it only wanted to do one thing.
Please check the metal content of the aluminum-steel bridge to ensure it meets the required standards.

Look, if any of them don't meet the standards, I'll remove them for you, okay?
At this moment, although the aluminum-steel bridge dragon fought back fiercely, it also felt the same mentality as the coal turtle at that time.

Are you really here to buy goods?
clang! !

With the final hammer blow, the Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon lost its combat ability after its gamble with the "Iron Hoof Ray" failed.

Of course, the cracks that appeared on his body can be ignored for the time being.

However, Jinghe then successfully defeated Qibana, winning the battle and advancing to the quarterfinals!
Next time, the opponents will most likely be future champions.
P.S.: I've finished the two-in-one chapter, and this should be the only chapter today. The child still has a high fever and only slept for four hours yesterday. Now his tonsils are swollen.
I've included a thermometer, just in case you don't believe me.
