Elf: This owner is so sunny.

Chapter 363: Nie Zi, the trainer who doesn't use Dynamax, challenges you!
"The participant of this Pokémon Master Tournament is Bai Yu, the gym leader from the Kanto region."

"I guess I found the right person!"

Just when Bai Yu finished his breakfast and was about to go out for a walk with Nazhi.

A strange voice came from behind me, with a slightly frivolous tone, a hint of confusion, and more contempt.

"Nie Zi, the gym leader of Spike Town?"

Bai Yu turned around and saw the man in front of him. He was dressed in a hip-hop style, with a strong sense of malice and a hint of impetuousness in his eyes. Beside him followed a Pokémon unique to the Galar region, Ursa Major.

Ursaprana is the evolved form of the Galar region's Ursa Major, and is also one of Nie Zi's most representative Pokémon.

Nie Zi's appearance surprised Bai Yu.

If I remember correctly, Nie Zi seldom left Jianding Town. Most of the time he performed rock and roll shows in Jianding Town. Even if there were few people watching, he would enjoy it.

By the way, Spike Town is also the only town in the Galar region that has not been affected by Dynamax.

Precisely because of the lack of Dynamax energy, and the daily decline, Nie Zi's greatest dream is to use his own abilities to restore the former vitality of this fallen town, this once famous gym.

However... a town that lacks gigantic energy points will eventually decline.

He actually knows me?

Nie Zi was a little surprised that he didn't seem to be very famous in other regions.

He is even worse than other gym leaders. After all, he is the only gym leader who does not need to Dynamax, and his viewing appeal is indeed not as strong as that of other gym leaders.

Nie Zi frowned and said, "You know me? I don't think my name has spread to Guandu."

There was a slightly questioning tone in his voice and some confusion in his eyes.

He walked forward slowly, and his eyes immediately fell on Nazi who was standing beside Bai Yu.

He felt a hint of hostility from Naz.

If Bai Yu knew what Nie Zi was thinking, he would definitely explain. After all, Nazhi, who was born with superpowers, was naturally disgusted by such malicious looks.

After all, there is no Psychic-type trainer who doesn't hate Dark-type trainers.

Bai Yu's expression remained unchanged as he said calmly, "Nie Zi, the Gym Leader of Spike Town, the only Gym Leader in the Galar region who doesn't use Dynamax."

"I learned a little bit about it when I came to the Galar region."

Bai Yu still admires Nie Zi very much.

The Gigantamaxed Alucard who was able to fight with Kibana to the very end without relying on Gigantamaxing, and ultimately lost to Kibana, might have been able to defeat Kibana head-on if he had mastered Gigantamaxing.

For this reason, Dan Emperor asked him more than once to leave Spike Town and go to other cities to serve as a gym leader and master the power of Dynamax. Unfortunately, this idea was decisively rejected by Nie Zi.

He is impetuous, frivolous and arrogant, but he is a trainer who loves his hometown and his friends. In addition, the gym he is in was once known as the strongest gym in the Galar region.

With such a reputation, how could he give it up just because of Gigantamaxing?
"Is it?"

Nie Zi raised his eyebrows slightly. He was not surprised by Bai Yu's words. "I heard that you were invited to participate in the Elf Master Tournament! I came here for the challenge spot in your hand."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Bai Yu frowned.

Seeing this, Nie Zi glanced at Bai Yu and said, "Are you scared? If that's the case... I don't mind..."

"But if you give up, you will have to give up your place."

"You mean I don't dare to fight you? Voluntarily give up my place in the Elf Master Tournament? To put it more bluntly, you think I'm not as good as you?"

Nie Zi nodded. That was what he meant.

"I don't dare to accept the challenge. Even if you get the quota, you will be eliminated in one round. Why not give it to me?"

"... "

Hearing what Nie Zi said, Bai Yu's forehead darkened and he looked at Nancy beside him helplessly. He really had no intention of challenging these trainers, but they came to challenge him.

Yesterday's Chibana and today's Chihong were both fooled by me, but now here comes another one.

He is also the only trainer in the Galar region who does not need to Dynamax.

"Let's find a place and have a fight. It won't take up too much time."

Nancy also guessed Bai Yu's concerns and responded.

Anyway, it won’t take too much time, so we can just follow the 3vs3 rules.

"Okay." Bai Yu responded helplessly.

To find a place, we can only go back to the battle field in the backyard of the Pokémon Center. Fortunately, Nie Zi does not use the Gigantamax system. If he uses that system, the backyard of the Pokémon Center cannot accommodate such large Pokémon.

Nie Zi also heard the conversation between the two. He raised his eyebrows and said frivolously, "Are you planning to fight? I thought you didn't dare."

"There's nothing to be afraid of, it's just a waste of time."

Facing Nie Zi's provocation, Bai Yu responded very calmly. In his opinion, this game was purely a waste of time, and he didn't know how many-on-several matches Nie Zi wanted to have.

"Don't worry, I will resolve this battle quickly." Nie Zi has absolute confidence in his own strength.

Unless Bai Yu is the same pervert he met some time ago, that guy is said to be the former champion of the Kanto region. He is extremely powerful and does not have the power of Gigantamax.

Relying on hard power to defeat his team, and defeating them head-on in a six-on-six team match.

It is said that the guy has only been traveling for more than a year. What a freak!

Just as Nie Zi was thinking about Chihong, a familiar voice came to his ears.

"Brother, I've told you many times not to leave Spike Town casually."

Mali wrinkled her nose and looked at her elder brother Nie Zi in front of her with helplessness.

Early in the morning, she heard from the Shouting Team that Nie Zi had left Sharp Nail Town. She then followed her elder brother to Quanguan City. She thought her elder brother was going to challenge the gym master of Quanguan City, Chibana.

But they met here, and the one they challenged was a trainer they had never seen before.

When Nie Zi heard the voice, he subconsciously turned around and saw his own sister. He immediately reacted and said with some helplessness in his tone:

"Mary! Didn't I tell the guys from the Shout Team to let you temporarily take over the position of Gym Leader? Why are you here?"

Mary pursed her lips. She didn't want to guard any gym.

She wants to become stronger, stronger than her brother, and thus stand at the pinnacle of the Galar region, become the champion of the Galar region, and lead Spike Town to become the strongest gym.

Nie Zi and Mali have a good relationship.

Since she was a child, Mary has always wanted to surpass her brother, and Nie Zi has always loved her sister and believed that she would become an excellent trainer.

These two siblings are quite similar in character.

No one likes to show their inner thoughts on their face.

I habitually hide my joys, sorrows, anger and happiness deep in my heart.

This can be seen from the Morubiko in Mary's arms.

"Who is this?" Bai Yu suddenly asked.

But he couldn't let time pass by like this, he had already found a place for the date today.

If we delay any further, Nazi will definitely be angry.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu also glanced at Nancy beside him and found that Nancy's expression did not change much, as if nothing had happened, and she was just holding the Ice Vulpix in her arms.

Hearing this, Nie Zi also pointed at his sister and introduced:
"Mary, my sister. After I step down in a while, she will be the gym leader of Spike Town."

Bai Yu showed a look of realization, "My name is Bai Yu, this is my girlfriend Nazi."

Mary snorted lightly and didn't give much response.

She didn't have any feelings about these things between men and women, she just wanted to become stronger and become the strongest trainer. Bai Yu didn't say much about this.

I had a date with Nazhi, but I happened to meet these two siblings.

Moreover, Nie Zi also challenged me, so I was the one at a disadvantage no matter how I looked at it.

...

Soon, the four arrived at the backyard of the Elf Center.

Mary took the initiative to serve as the referee for this match.

When she heard that her brother was going to fight a trainer she had never seen before.

Her expression changed several times, from surprise at first to confusion and puzzlement later.

Mary really couldn't understand why her brother would challenge a trainer who was not famous.

"Are the rules of the challenge based on gym matches, or a normal 3vs3 battle?"

Entering the battlefield, Bai Yu was the first to ask.

The road was blocked as soon as he opened his mouth. Bai Yu really didn't want to play too many games.

The time wasted is your precious dating time.

"3vs3, normal battle rules!"

"If you lose, I want your place in the competition!"

Nie Zi replied in a calm tone, and when he mentioned the quota, his tone became a little more serious.

"Okay, I have no problem with that."

Bai Yu shrugged and turned to walk towards the command area.

When Mary heard this conversation, a hint of doubt flashed through her mind.

What quota?
Could it be that Big Brother had bet the gym? !

That shouldn’t be the case. Big brother values ​​the gym so much, and what he mentioned was the quota for the competition.

"Mary~Mary~Mary!!"

Mary began to have wild thoughts, but she gave up the idea after hearing her eldest brother's calls.

"Sorry, brother, I was thinking about something else just now." Mary said quickly.

"Announce the rules of the game."

Nie Zi smiled helplessly.

I have no idea what my sister is thinking about all day.

However, this game is very important to him. Even if the opponent has a Gigantamax system, he must win. He wants to participate in this Elf Master Tournament, make a name for himself, and let more people know about the city of Spike Town.

"Okay big brother."

"The Pokémon battle will now begin. The two sides are Nie Zi, the gym leader from Spike Town in the Galar region, and Bai Yu, a trainer from the Kanto region."

"The number of Pokémon used by both sides is limited to three. Both sides can change Pokémon at will during the game. The game is considered over when all Pokémon in one side lose their combat ability."

"Now please both parties release the Pokémon in your hands."

Mary announced the rules of the game in a formal manner, and looked at both sides to signal the players to take out their first Pokémon.

"Block the bear, you go first."

Nie Zi glanced at the bear blocking the way beside him and said.

"Bear~"

Dulanxiong nodded, crossed his arms over his chest and slowly walked towards the battle field.

At the same time, Bai Yu did not hesitate and threw the Poké Ball in his hand.

"roar~"

With a low roar, the Fiery Roaring Tiger appeared on the field, staring intently at the blocking bear in front of it.

"The Alola region's Blazing Roaring Tiger?!"

As the first Dark-type Gym Leader to appear in so many generations, Nie Zi's knowledge of Dark-type Pokémon is no less than those of the top Pokémon. He recognized the identity of the Pokémon in front of him at a glance.

The Fire + Dark type Blaziken is also one of the starter Fire type Pokémons in the Alola region.

"He blocked the bear from the beginning. It seems that he is quite confident in his own strength."

Looking at the blocking bear on the field, this is the trump card in Nie Zi's hand. Its strength is even stronger than that of the trembling salamander with electric and poisonous attributes.

Although he is a Dark-type gym leader, Nie Zi still has one or two Pokémon that are not Dark-type.

As a member of his band, Nie Zi has two tremolo salamanders in his hands, and they appear in different forms.

"roar~"

The Blazing Roaring Tiger roared, and a red light appeared on the body of the Dulan Bear. The physical attack dropped by one level at this moment, which was not good news for the Dulan Bear.

Most of the Blocking Bear's offensive methods are based on physical attacks.

Seeing that the Dulan Bear did not raise the white light again, Bai Yu also knew that the Dulan Bear in front of him did not have the characteristic of not admitting defeat. If Bai Yu guessed correctly, the Dulan Bear should have the characteristic of perseverance.

Perseverance is a very special characteristic. When one is in an abnormal state, it increases one's attack by 50%. When combined with the Fire Orb, it can produce even more amazing results.

The Dulan Bear had been following Nie Zi for a long time, and had never seen any flames entangled around him. It seemed that Nie Zi did not get the flame orb. This was normal, after all, such props were rare.

"The battle begins."

Following Mary's command, the battle quickly began on the field.

"High-five surprise."

The first to attack must be high-fived. Give the blocking bear a slap first to teach it a lesson.

The Blocking Bear has the unique attribute of normal + evil, and is four times weak to fighting. The Blazing Roaring Tiger also knows a thing or two about fists and feet, and can definitely make the Blocking Bear scream.

The flaming roaring tiger's body sank, a black light flashed in its eyes, and its body rushed towards the blocking bear like a ghost.

A general high-five surprise attack.

"An insidious move."

"Use blocking!"

Nie Zi glanced at the flaming roaring tiger that was sprinting towards him and responded in a flat tone.

He was not familiar with Baiyu, and he seldom paid attention to what happened in other regions. He had always been paying attention to Dan Di. As for moves like high-five surprise attack, he knew about them, and the Pokémon in his hand could also use this move.

Being prepared for the coming of an attack will naturally make things easier.

Besides, blocking is not a simple defensive tactic.

The blocking bear stood still, with a strong evil light rising from his body, forming a natural barrier in front of him. The flaming roaring tiger rushed forward early and slapped the barrier in front of him.

bang~
Ripples appeared on the barrier, and then a strange energy quietly merged into the body of the Blazing Tiger. Without any hesitation, the Blazing Tiger quickly retreated, widening the distance between the two Pokémon.

The strange black light covered the entire body of the Blazing Roaring Tiger. The Blazing Roaring Tiger shook its arms and its eyes narrowed. It felt that one of its abilities had declined significantly.

The blocking of evil.

Completely blocks the opponent's attack, and when attacked by contact during the defense, the attacker's defense is reduced by two levels.
