Elf: I Am a Farmer

The Pokémon that Kazusa sent was a Claymore, one of the starter Pokémon in the Unova region, and it was clear that he came from a well-off family.

The Greatsword Demon resembles a four-legged blue sea monster. Long white whiskers extend from its snout, and a large, round, beige-colored helmet-like shell with spear-like spikes protrudes sharply from the back of its head.

Its abdomen is covered by a blue-gray shell-shaped carapace, and its limbs are covered by beige segmented bracer-like coverings. In battle, it draws out swords made of shells that look like forelimb bracers, known as foot blades.

The shell is like part of its body.

The lower part of the wrist guard and the upper part and spikes respectively constitute the scabbard and the hilt of the two swords.

The Greatsword Demon has three dark blue toes at the tip of each limb, and the innermost part of its fin-shaped tail is beige.

The Greatsword Demon's foreleg armor partly transforms into a giant sword. It is a master of swordsmanship and can decide the outcome of a battle with a single strike using the greatsword hidden in its foreleg armor.

A single glare from it can silence its enemies, a roar can intimidate them, and it can slash its opponents with the double blades on its front legs in the blink of an eye before retracting them.

It commands the group and has a strict nature, and will not hesitate to punish those who do not follow the rules.

This greatsword demon was trained very well by Kazusa; it has a very sharp gaze and an imposing aura.

Chiba sent out Blaziken, which is also one of the starter Pokémon in the Hoenn region, but it is at a disadvantage in terms of type.

This battle between the three starter Pokémon from different regions has attracted a lot of attention.

They all looked at Chiba Kaede with some pity, after all, when the strength difference was not significant, being countered by attributes greatly increased the probability of losing the match.

However, they did not know that Blaziken had fought many powerful Pokémon along the way, and its strength had improved by leaps and bounds. It was not something that could be easily defeated simply by relying on its type advantage.

"Greatsword Demon, Water Jet!"

With Kazushi giving the order, the match officially began.

The Greatsword Demon's body was enveloped by a stream of water, and then, carried by the water, it quickly rushed towards the location of Blaziken.

As the Greatsword was about to approach Blaziken, it began to gather power in its large horns and then fiercely stabbed at the motionless Blaziken.

This is essentially a combination move that combines water jets with shell blades, making the Greatsword Demon resemble an agile swordsman, aiming to deliver a fatal blow and end the match directly.

Blaziken is very skilled in close combat. Without Chiba Kaede giving any commands, Blaziken swiftly kicked out two kicks just as the Greatsword's blade was about to pierce its body.

As Blaziken unleashed its Double Kick attack, its first kick landed precisely on the sharp horn on the top of the Greatsword's head, causing the horn to deflect its attack direction. Immediately following, its second kick struck the Greatsword hard in the abdomen.

"Bang!"

Blaziken's clean double kick hit the Greatsword Demon, sending it flying diagonally forward before crashing heavily to the ground a short distance away, even carving a deep scratch in the field.

Fortunately, the Greatsword's abdomen was also covered by carapace, so it was not actually seriously injured. However, it felt extremely insulted, and its eyes turned blood red as it glared angrily at the Blaziken not far away.

Before the trainer could give any command, the stun gun drew its shell-shaped weapon, using the shell as a hilt to form a lightsaber, and then slashed at Blaziken.

Blaziken did not choose to dodge the Greatsword's attack, but instead covered its legs with flames to confront the opponent head-on.

The two then began a fierce battle, much like a duel between a peerless swordsman and a master of leg techniques.

Blaziken is always able to block the Greatsword's shell blade attacks with its long legs, and because its legs are more agile, it can even kick the Greatsword's body from time to time.

However, the Flame Kick does not do much damage to the Greatsword Demon, only inflicting some minor damage.

However, the skill contest between the two sides has already revealed the winner, and it is clear that Blaziken has taken the lead.

If no changes are made, once the Greatsword's stamina is exhausted, it will undoubtedly be defeated by Blaziken.

"Greatsword Demon, Water Pulse!"

Kazusa hadn't expected Blaziken to be so strong in close combat. Knowing he couldn't continue like this, he decided to use type advantage to defeat Blaziken.

The idea wasn't wrong, but it was already too late. Blaziken didn't give the Greatsword a chance to use its skills, and directly used a double kick to knock the Greatsword unconscious.

Since acquiring Keldeo's head feather, Blaziken has further improved its control over Fighting-type energy by sensing the power within the feather.

This is also the premise that it can use a double kick consecutively, and that each attack can hit the weak point of the Greatsword Demon's body.

After Kazuya nodded in acknowledgment, Kaede Chiba quickly recalled Blaziken into its Poké Ball and then obediently became a spectator.

Soon, the round ended, and Mira defeated her opponent's Crocodile with her Serpentine and successfully advanced to the next round.

In Chiba Kaede's opinion, Crocodile was stronger than Serperior, but due to type advantage, it was defeated by Serperior.

After the victory, Mira excitedly chattered in Chiba Kaede's ear, thanking him for accompanying her during the special training these past few days and rejoicing in her good fortune.

After a short ten-minute break, the second round of the competition began quickly.

This time, Chiba Kaede's opponent is a very fashionable and energetic girl, and the spirit she sends out is a very cute Miss Skirt.

However, the energetic girl was a bit unlucky; Chiba Kaede sent out Heracross as her Pokémon in this round of the competition.

With overwhelming strength and attribute advantage, Heracross easily defeated Miss Skirt.

In fact, when the energetic girl saw the Pokémon sent by Chiba Kaede, she already realized that the situation was not good. She could only hope that Heracross was weaker.

Unfortunately, the situation is completely the opposite. With Heracross's strength, even without a type advantage over Miss Skirt, defeating her would be a piece of cake.

After this round of competition, only 9 trainers remain. Since the number of trainers is odd, the trainer who draws number 9 can directly advance to the next round.

In this round of the competition, Mira's luck was not so good. Her Electric Spider encountered a Ground-type Excadrill.

The result was obvious: due to the difference in raw strength and the type advantage, Excadrill easily defeated Electabuzz.

Mira was somewhat disappointed by her defeat, but she also knew that she was already very lucky to have made it this far based on her own strength.

"Xiao Feng, keep up the good work! I hope you can achieve final victory!"

Mira was only down for a short while before she quickly cheered herself up and began to encourage Chiba Kaede.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best!"

Chiba Kaede gave Mira a reassuring look before responding seriously. (End of Chapter)
