Elf: I Am a Farmer

With the emergence of the first top three contestants, the atmosphere around the venue became noticeably more enthusiastic.

The young man's name was Marin. He was in a good mood because he had already earned the right to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings and the champion.

This was a very rare opportunity, and Marin was already imagining the scene of his Pokémon defeating the Elite Four or the Champion's Pokémon, and becoming famous throughout the Unova region.

Soon, the second match of the third round began, with a very beautiful girl and a handsome boy facing off.

The two clearly knew each other before and had a good relationship. Although they were rivals, all they had in their eyes was the desire to win and the determination to surpass each other.

"Sabelle, I will give it my all in this match, and I hope you can too!"

"Moran, don't worry, I won't let this match leave any regrets!"

As soon as they finished speaking, they sent out their Pokémon almost simultaneously.

Moran's Pokémon is a Gardevoir with Psychic and Fairy attributes, while Shabel's Pokémon is a pseudo-legendary Metagross with Psychic and Steel attributes.

In terms of type advantage alone, Gardevoir is at a disadvantage when facing Metagross.

However, Pokémon battles are full of surprises; as long as the match continues, anything can happen.

The result was indeed somewhat unexpected by everyone present. Moran, with his outstanding command skills, successfully led Gardevoir to defeat Metagross.

At first, Moran didn't rush to damage Metagross, but instead had Gardevoir use Charm to lower Metagross's attack power.

After successfully weakening Metagross's attack power, Gardevoir, although it also suffered a lot of attacks from Metagross, managed to survive thanks to Teleport and Life Drop.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, it used a meditation skill to enhance itself, and finally used magical flames to successfully defeat Shabel's Metagross.

During this time, Shabel also commanded Metagross to continuously damage Gardevoir, but Gardevoir's mastery of the Teleport move was too high, preventing Shabel from inflicting decisive damage on Gardevoir.

However, the loser in this round still has a chance to strive for fourth place. As long as they can defeat the other losers, they can achieve fourth place and have the opportunity to challenge the champion and the Four Heavenly Kings.

"Xiao Feng, it's our turn!"

Shi Lan smiled and said to Qian Yefeng.

Shi Lan was very interested in Chiba Kaede's superhuman strength, because the opponent had clearly reached a certain level, which was also a very important reason why he suddenly decided to personally participate in the match.

"Yes, Butler Shi Lan!"

After arriving at the battlefield, Chiba Kaede responded very politely.

In these matches, Chiba Kaede sent out Pokémon that all had Fighting-type attributes, so many people present thought he was a trainer who specialized in Fighting-type Pokémon.

Chiba Kaede didn't offer much explanation for this. After arriving in the Unova region, he did indeed enjoy using Machamp and the like in battle.

After both sides sent out their Pokémon at the same time, Chiba Kaede discovered that Shilan had sent out a Gallade, while he himself had sent out Machamp.

Gallade possesses both Psychic and Fighting attributes, giving it a certain advantage in terms of attributes.

However, Chiba Kaede knew very well that Shilan did not send out Gallade to counter him in terms of type advantage. He was obviously interested in the strength of Machamp, which is why he sent out Gallade, which has the Fighting type.

As expected, after the match officially started, Shilan did not choose to use a Psychic-type move that was super effective against Machamp to launch an attack. Instead, she had Gallade and Machamp engage in close combat.

The close-quarters battle between Machamp and Gallade was far more intense than the battle between Chiba and Elite Four member; their movements were beyond the limits of what the audience could capture.

Chiba Kaede doesn't know how good Gallade's psychic abilities are yet, but he does know that Gallade is very strong in combat and can at least hold its own against Machamp for a short time.

Indeed, in Chiba Kaede's opinion, as time went on, Machamp gradually became familiar with Gallade's attack methods, which made it easier for Machamp to deal with Gallade's attacks.

"Galade, it seems we need to get serious. Use Psychic!"

Shi Lan now understood that Gallade was no match for Machamp if it relied solely on Fighting-type skills, so she stopped restricting it and began to fight with all her might.

A layer of pink energy covered the blades on Gallade's arms, a manifestation of psychic energy attaching to their spirit.

After being empowered by Psychic-type energy, Gallade's attacks become even more ferocious, making it harder for Machamp to block.

After all, these super-powerful energies may not seem very powerful, but once they come into contact with Mighty Force, they become extremely violent and cause it a lot of damage.

"Super Strength, use Farmer's Three Punches!"

Originally, the opponent wanted to compete with the superhuman strength in fighting ability, and Chiba Kaede was too embarrassed to use other attribute skills. Now that the opponent has given up on this plan, he naturally will no longer hold back.

"Farmer's Three Punches" is just a nickname given by Chiba Kaede; it actually means that the monster can freely unleash fire punches, lightning punches, and ice punches.

Before battling Mega Ampharos, Machamp could not freely unleash Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, and Ice Punch from its four arms; it could only concentrate energy of the corresponding attribute on a fixed arm.

However, in the past few days, Chiba Kaede discovered that after throwing a punch, the superhuman strength could condense energy of other attributes.

Because each attack is a subconscious action of Machamp, even Machamp itself doesn't know whether it will throw a Fire Punch or a Thunder Punch next, making it even more difficult for the opponent to defend against.

Of course, releasing skills so quickly and without restraint will also increase the stamina and energy required by the attack, and even a superhuman strength cannot sustain such an attack for long.

As Machamp unleashed its full power, Gallade faced increasing pressure. After all, Machamp has four arms, and unless Gallade's reaction speed is more than twice that of Machamp, it simply cannot completely block Machamp's attack.

Soon, three different types of injuries appeared on Gallade's body: some areas were charred black, some were covered with a thin layer of ice, and some had electric currents pulsating.

"Gallade, use Teleport!"

Shilan has a wealth of battle experience, and her decisive choice kept Gallade and Machamp, whose fighting styles are more inclined towards close combat, at a distance.

"Super Strength, Explosive Fist!"

Chiba Kaede gave the order almost simultaneously.

Gallade needs a short time to gather its energy before it can use Teleport, and Chiba Kaede is waiting for this opening to appear so that Machamp can secure the victory.

"Bang!"

Ultimately, Gallade was no match for Machamp. Just before its body was about to disappear, Gallade was struck by Machamp's Burst Punch and sent flying backward.

The outcome was obvious: Gallade, afflicted by the confusion effect of Explosive Punch, was utterly unable to withstand Machamp's subsequent attacks. (End of Chapter)
