Elf: This owner is so sunny.

Chapter 399 Crystal Flower vs. Nut Dumbbell, a game from the nail man!
The second and third games were won as expected.

The winners were Chihong and Shirona, who faced opponents who were both champions.

However, Daigo and Kaluni are still a little inferior in terms of performance, especially when facing these two people, among which Daigo caused considerable trouble to Akane.

Although Daigo prefers Rock and Steel types, he frequently uses Invisible Rock to deal high damage in battle, and also cleverly uses the characteristics of Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon to increase its endurance!
In the constant battle, even though the physical defense reached an astonishing level, it finally lost to Red's ace Charizard. Of course, a big part of the reason for Daigo's other Pokémon was also because of that Pikachu.

The petite and cute Pikachu can play with the big guys like Daigo at will. Baiyu can also see the growth of Chihong during this period of time.

In such a short period of time, his growth has far exceeded his expectations.

"Bai Yu, it looks like our fight will have to wait until after the Masters Tournament."

Daigo returned to the lounge, walked towards Baiyu, forced a smile and said that he had clearly made full preparations, but he didn't expect... that he would lose to Akahaki in the first round.

After saying this, Yulongdu, who had returned a long time ago, also looked at Baiyu. Obviously, he had the same idea. One of the main reasons why he came all the way to the Galar region was to defeat Baiyu here.

Obviously, he failed.

Not only him, Daigo also failed.

"Don't worry, my gym will always be open to everyone. From now on, it's just me and Yeci who will be the champions. I'm really looking forward to the stage that will be just for the two of us."

Bai Yu was also very curious about Ye Ci's current strength.

Bai Yu turned around and looked at Ye Ci who was wearing a straight suit. Unlike Sirona and Kaluni, Ye Ci was more masculine, with a tomboyish beauty.
However, Bai Yu did not appreciate this beauty very much, but out of respect, Bai Yu would not say too many blunt words to Ye Ci.

This is the cultivation of being a trainer and a gym leader.

"Master Baiyu, I am also very curious about your strength." Ye Ci said with a smile.

"Me too. I hope Champion Ye Ci can give me some surprises." Bai Yu nodded and walked towards the battle venue. The number of spectators outside the venue did not decrease at all.

However, most viewers feel unfamiliar with the names of Baiyu and Yeci. One is just a gym leader of the Kanto League, and the other is a regional champion, but a little-known regional champion.

The strength of these two people has also been questioned by many people.

"I say, do any of you know these two people on the field?"

"Now that you mention it, I'm not too sure. As for Bai Yu, I think I saw him in the illustrated book. He's a gym leader from the Kanto Alliance. As for Ye Ci..."

Most of the audience looked bewildered, and it was obvious that few people knew Ye Ci.

Of course, this does not include some trainers from Padya.

"Ye Ci, she was indeed invited to participate in this Masters Tournament." Qinglu showed an understanding expression. He had looked for Ye Ci once, hoping to get a challenge spot from her, but Ye Ci, who was often online, would refuse with various reasons.

With no other choice, Qinglu had to come back and planned to seize the spot in Yulongdu. The final result was... he had a fight with Baiyu and completely lost his spot in the Masters Tournament.

"Brother Lu, do you think Ye Ci can beat Bai Yu? Bai Yu, he can't even beat you, Brother Lu..." Xiao Mao seemed to realize it and shut his mouth tactfully.

Xiao Mao's sudden words also attracted the attention of Professor Oak and others. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Qinglu shrugged calmly and said, "Grandpa, I lost again."

"When did this happen?"

"Just a few days ago, at the Quanguan Arena in Quanguan City, that guy used those disgusting moves to defeat my Blastoise and General Pudao one after another."

Qinglu took a deep breath and told him what happened at that time. After listening, Professor Oak showed a shocked expression. It was obvious that he liked to fight directly, and this was the first time he saw such a perverted tactic.

Compared to Professor Oak's shock, Xiaozhi is more excited. The stronger Baiyu is, the more opportunities it is for him. He will definitely surpass Red and Green and finally defeat Baiyu.

Absolutely!!

At this time, amid the noise of the crowd, the two opposing teams had already entered the field.

The voices of the audience outside the arena suddenly quieted down, and they all looked at the two people on the field, wondering why they would squeeze out the trainers who they thought were the strongest.

"The fourth match will begin now."

"The two sides in the battle are Bai Yu, the leader of the Macha Gym in the Kanto region, and Ye Ci, the top champion of the Padia region."

"Should I make a battle declaration?" Bai Yu looked at Ye Ci with a chuckle. Looking at the audience outside the venue, the blood in his heart could not be calmed for a long time.

Standing on a stage like this, it would be a lie to say I’m not excited.

He was more excited than he expected.

"Perhaps." Ye Ci raised the corner of his mouth, and then said, "Trainers of Padiya! I am the chief champion Ye Ci, and also the president of the Padiya Alliance. Watch carefully, this battle is very important to you. You will see a wonderful battle and learn more theoretical knowledge!"

"Whether we win or lose, this will be a battle that goes down in Pokémon history!"

"Come on, Master Baiyu, let me see your fighting style!"

"As you wish!" Compared to Ye Ci's words, Bai Yu simply nodded in agreement.

After all, he is not good at speaking and can only express himself through fighting. Moreover, he is just a gym leader in the Kanto League and does not have that many ambitions.

"The battle will begin now."

"This match is the same as before. Both sides are limited to six Pokémon. There is no limit to the number of moves they can use. The side that can disable all six of the opponent's Pokémon wins."

"Also, Gigantamax, Z-Moves, Mega Evolution, and Padia's unique Tai Crystallization can all be used normally, but only once!"

"Then, each player please send out the first Pokémon!"

3!

2!

1!

Following the referee's command, Bai Yu and Ye Ci took out a Poké Ball at the same time and threw it forward.

The Poké Balls collided in the air, two white lights flashed, and two different Pokémon appeared on the field.

Its whole body was like a bud about to bloom, spinning in the air and landing in front of Yeci. This was Crystal Flower, which was unique to the Padia region and was also Yeci's representative Pokémon.

On the other side, in front of Bai Yu, there was a creature covered in metal, connected to three vines. It had a tall and flat body, and its eyes were slightly dull, but its back looked surprisingly reassuring.

This is a steel + grass type Pokémon Nut Dumbbell!

"The match begins. Bai Yu sends out Nut Dumbbell, and Ye Ci sends out..." The referee looked at the Crystal Flower in confusion. After hearing the information from the headset, he said reluctantly, "It's Crystal Flower, a unique Pokémon from Padia!"

For the first Pokémon, both sides tacitly sent out the Spike Hand.

Many trainers took out their illustrated books and looked at the two Pokémon on the field. Nut Dumbbell had an introduction, but Crystal Flower had no introduction at all. Only the green illustrated book could mention some relevant information. "The first one is Crystal Flower. Yeci's fighting style is similar to Baiyu's." Xiao Mao was not unfamiliar with Crystal Flower and had even seen it before.

Crystal Flower made its debut in the battle. If you said it wasn’t Saling’s, even Yeci himself might not believe it.

On the field.

"Crystal Flower, judging by her aura, she is definitely at the champion level."

Bai Yu looked at the crystal flower carefully and was a little surprised.

He thought that Ye Ci would put the Crystal Flower at the finale, just like in the game.

I also have a crystal flower in my hand, but in terms of cultivation level, it is not as good as Yeci's crystal flower.

Of course, this is also inseparable from Bai Yu. Bai Yu rarely lets Crystal Flower appear. Occasionally, he will let Crystal Flower show up during gym competitions. This guy is quite disgusting.

While Bai Yu was looking at Crystal Flower, Ye Ci was also looking at Nut Dumbbell. Although it looked ugly, it actually had amazing resistance and double defense. In particular, poison-based moves were ineffective against steel-based moves, which made Crystal Flower's situation uncomfortable.

"The battle begins!" the referee gave the order.

Ye Ci interrupted his thoughts and said, "Poisonous Ling!"

"Om~"

The crystal flower hummed, and its buds blossomed. Countless strange deep purple lights emerged from its body, transforming into poisonous diamonds that began to spin at high speed.

"Nut dumbbells, parasitic seeds!" Bai Yu spoke quickly but his tone was calm.

In this kind of game, nails seem to become dispensable. As long as Nut Dumbbell and Crystal Flower are not out of the game, it becomes meaningless for both sides to throw nails. However, Crystal Flower has the ability to clear nails, which is a gap that Nut Dumbbell cannot overcome.

嗏

In terms of properties, Nut Dumbbells have an absolute advantage.

Nut Dumbbell shook its body gently, shaking out the seeds condensed on its body. Those seeds, like dog-skin plasters, stuck directly to the body of the Crystal Flower.

The Crystal Flower also took this opportunity to scatter the poisonous spikes all over the ground. Beads of deep purple light sank into the ground and disappeared without a trace, like poisonous snakes waiting for an opportunity to attack.

In just a moment, the seeds sprouted on the crystal flower and turned into vines that bound the crystal flower's body. The vines absorbed the crystal flower's energy, transformed into a green light, and sank into the body of the nut dumbbell.

Bai Yu chuckled.

In the first confrontation, it seems that Nut Dumbbell has the upper hand. Now Crystal Flower needs to break the parasitic seed, but the parasitic effect has already taken effect once, so Nut Dumbbell has the advantage in physical strength.

As for the poison spikes, Bai Yu didn't take them seriously at all. They were just poison spikes. As long as the Pokémon could fly, the poison spikes would have no effect.

However, all of these are based on the characteristics of the crystal flower. If the characteristic is corrosion, it would be dangerous.

Corrosion doesn't care about your attributes. Even steel-type and poison-type Pokémon will be poisoned.

"The crystal light is spinning."

The body of the Crystal Flower circled in the air at high speed, and the parasitic vines broke off one by one and fell to the ground due to the high-speed rotation. Not only that, the Crystal Flower also took this opportunity to rush up.

"Electromagnetic waves."

Facing the crystal flowers rushing towards him, Bai Yu gave a decisive order: if you like to spin, then bring some electricity so that you can spin faster.

A little electric current flashed on the nut dumbbell vines. The amplitude of the current was very small, and it was a very inconspicuous trick.

Electromagnetic waves of the electrical system.

"Don't get attacked, use the power of the earth!"

Ye Ci shouted without hesitation.

Padiya's fighting style is also different from other regions. As the chief champion, she is already familiar with this kind of changing tactics. The seemingly inconspicuous electromagnetic waves can easily pose a threat to Pokémon.

Once hit by electromagnetic waves, the Pokémon is basically destroyed.

Electromagnetic waves will restrict you everywhere. It would be fine if the effect of the electromagnetic waves was not triggered, but what we are afraid of is that the electromagnetic waves will take effect at the critical moment.

If it takes effect when Crystal Flower uses Crystal Light Spin to clear nails, then Crystal Flower will most likely lose its combat capability. Without a nail clearer, subsequent battles will be useless.

A yellow light flashed in Jingguanghua's eyes, the earth surged, and a huge energy rushed up.

The electromagnetic waves were still released, and the ochre-yellow energy under the feet of the Nut Dumbbell surged.

Rumble~
The power of the earth suddenly bombarded the body of Nut Dumbbell, and dust flew.

The electromagnetic wave attack was very small, and the crystal flowers were easily opened.

"Quick reaction, it seems that it will take some effort to hit the target." Bai Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

It is obvious that Ye Ci is very wary of Bai Yu, which is consistent with Ye Ci's personality. After all, a trainer who can recover Crystal Flower must have a unique understanding of changing moves.

Not being hit by electromagnetic waves was also expected.

Although the Nut Dumbbell seems to have absorbed a burst of earth power, the damage it actually causes is not that high. The Nut Dumbbell has amazing defense. Unless it is a fire-based move, it is difficult to break the Nut Dumbbell's defense with ordinary moves.

And...there is still some leftovers on Nut Dumbbell!
A flash of white light flashed, moisturizing the body of the nut dumbbell. The light was very faint, and was covered by khaki dust, making it difficult to detect, but the nut dumbbell did recover some strength.

"Gyro ball!" Bai Yu raised his eyebrows and attacked.

No matter how slow Crystal Flower is, it is still faster than the Nut Dumbbell at this moment, and Steel-type moves don't hurt Crystal Flower. It's not as painful as the Ground-type moves which are four times weaker, but the damage is also twice as weak.

Nut Dumbbell swung the vines on its body, and its body turned into a gyroscope, suddenly rushing towards the crystal flower. Its movement speed was not fast, but its power was intimidating.

"Block it, use the spike defense." Ye Ci raised his eyebrows.

A green barrier emerged in front of the Crystal Flower. The barrier looked ordinary, but it was covered with various thorns. This was also a very unique defensive move of the Crystal Flower.

Not many Pokémon have learned this move, and it is a very practical Grass-type defensive move.

boom!
The gyroscope ball hit the defensive barrier formed by the spikes. The powerful attack did not cause any actual damage to the Crystal Flower. Instead, the Nut Dumbbell itself suffered some damage.

The effect of the spike defense is very similar to the iron spikes of the nut dumbbell. It will cause damage to itself when hit by contact-type moves. The nut dumbbell has always attacked like this, but today it's the other way around.

Instead, the nut dumbbell was stabbed by the opponent.
