Elf: I Am a Farmer

"Super strength, use a low kick!"

"Dharma Baboon, use your arm hammer!"

In this round, Chiba Kaede drew number 1, which was the first group to start. His opponent sent out a Daruma baboon, while the lucky winner who drew number 9 was a young man in his twenties.

After battling Kikyo's Mega Ampharos, Machamp seems to have broken through to another level, although it doesn't look any different from the outside.

However, even if Heracross and Blaziken team up, it would be difficult for them to last long against it.

It seems that the superhuman strength has grasped something, completely abandoning unnecessary movements. It can often find the opponent's weakness in battle and then defeat the opponent in the most effortless way.

This change was somewhat unexpected for Chiba Kaede, but she knew it was probably related to Keldeo.

Because Chiba Kaede saw a trace of Keldeo in Machamp, and in Machamp's battles, he had already begun to adopt some of Keldeo's fighting style.

Who is Keldeo? It is a legendary Pokémon, and its teachers are also legendary Pokémon, and there are three of them. It is quite rare for a Pokémon to be able to grasp some of its combat techniques.

Although Darmanitan is quite strong, it could have held its own against Machamp and Kikyo's Mega Ampharos for some time before the battle, but now it is being completely overwhelmed.

Just before the baboon's arm hammer was about to hit him, the monstrous strength slightly tilted his body and then used a low kick to beat it to the punch.

Even the Damo baboon was caught off guard by the monstrous strength's attack and lost its balance, flying away.

Naturally, the Daruma Baboon's arm-hammer skill failed to activate.

After the baboon fell, the superhuman didn't give it a chance to get up again, and directly chopped the baboon in the neck with a chop.

As expected, the Damo baboon fainted after being attacked like this.

"This guy's got some serious strength!"

"Yes, the Dharma baboon is completely defenseless!"

"And don't you think its arms are a bit frighteningly thick?"

After seeing the monstrous strength effortlessly defeat the Dharma baboon, both the other contestants and the surrounding audience were in an uproar.

It's important to know that trainers who make it into the top ten are all quite strong, and they also have considerable fame in the Unova region. It's unexpected that they would be so easily defeated by Chiba Kaede, who has absolutely no reputation.

The audience outside the venue was only somewhat surprised, while the remaining contestants regarded Chiba Kaede as an obstacle on their path to victory.

They were all experiencing a conflicted feeling. They hoped to encounter the powerful trainer Chiba Kaede later so that they could achieve a higher ranking, but they also hoped to battle him sooner to see whose Pokémon was stronger.

Most trainers enjoy battling against strong trainers because only by constantly challenging powerful opponents can their Pokémon grow faster.

After the referee announced the result of the match, Chiba Kaede returned to his position with his superhuman strength.

"Hey, Xiao Feng, has your superhuman strength improved again? It feels completely different from a few days ago!"

Mira only knew about Mighty's previous strength, but today she suddenly realized that she couldn't understand Mighty anymore, so she asked Chiba Kaede with a curious look.

Even Xiaoju, who was sitting with Gadria and the others, had a look of surprise on her face.

A few days ago, although her Mega Ampharos defeated Machamp, Machamp's powerful and tenacious strength is still unforgettable for Kikyo.

Little Chrysanthemum knew very well that her victory that day was somewhat lucky, as Mega Ampharos's strength was actually on the same level as Machamp's.

But now Little Kiku knows that if she were to have another battle, her Mega Ampharos might not be a match for Machamp anymore.

Because the speed at which Machamp improves is incomparable to that of Ampharos, Ampharos has now been completely surpassed by Machamp!

"Xiao Feng's progress is truly astonishing!"

Of all those present, Cynthia knew Chiba Kaede best, since she had lived at Chiba Farm for a period of time.

At that time, what attracted her most to Chiba Kaede was his bond with several mythical spirits. As for the spirits' strength, although they were also very powerful, Cynthia didn't care much about them.

However, based on Machamp's performance today, Cynthia felt that the Machamp that the other party had trained was already as strong as some of her own Pokémon.

This is actually quite terrifying. Although Cynthia's most frequently used Pokémon is Garchomp, it doesn't mean that the other Pokémon she trains are weak.

Cynthia's ability to become a Champion-level Trainer is not solely due to her ace Pokémon, Garchomp. The strength of her other Pokémon is no weaker than that of the Elite Four's main Pokémon, and may even be stronger.

"Super Strength has only grasped some things, and his strength has only improved slightly. Alright, let's watch the match!"

Chiba Kaede himself only had a vague understanding of the changes in the super strength. He planned to wait until he returned and had Diancie help him communicate with it more deeply before analyzing it. So for now, he could only laugh it off and ignore it.

Seeing that Chiba Kaede didn't want to talk about his improved strength, Mira stopped pressing him and quickly focused her attention on the remaining three battles.

The following battles were also very exciting, especially when one trainer sent out a terrifyingly powerful Haxorus, which easily defeated its opponent's Toxicroak.

"Since there are still 5 players left after the second round, it would be unreasonable to let one more player skip the round, so I will also participate in the battle this round."

"Butler Shi Lan said with a smile."

After hearing Shi Lan's words, Qian Yefeng didn't feel anything was wrong. He even hoped to draw with him, since Shi Lan's strength was not to be underestimated and he was a good opponent.

After all six people drew their numbers, Chiba Kaede drew number 6, while Ishiran drew number 5, which meant they would be facing off in their third match.

After drawing their numbers, Shi Lan smiled and nodded at Qian Ye Feng, who politely returned the gesture.

The first match of the third round was between the young man who had previously sent out the Double Axe Dragon and his opponent, a middle-aged man.

However, this time the young man did not send out Haxorus, but instead sent out a Dragonite.

He is clearly a trainer who likes Dragon-type Pokémon, but whether he specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon is still unknown to Chiba Kaede.

The middle-aged man sent out a Double Ice Pokémon. From the smug smile on his face, Chiba Kaede knew that the man must have noticed that the young man opposite him liked Dragon-type Pokémon, so he specifically sent out an Ice-type Double Ice Pokémon.

The young man's expression froze for a moment after the middle-aged man sent out Double Ice, but he quickly recovered. He didn't think that Dragonite would lose to the opponent's Double Ice due to type advantage.

As expected, although the battle was somewhat difficult, the young man's Dragonite overcame its type disadvantage with its formidable strength, successfully defeating the middle-aged man's Double Ice Dragonite and advancing to the top three. (End of Chapter)
