Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 65 6V6 (Part 2)

"Asha, that child, still needs to train even harder!"

Mura, who had watched the entire match, murmured. ׺°」˜`」°º× ׺°」˜`」°º×

As the former gym leader of the Furnace Gym, he knew that Aysa had used all her strength in the battle with this boy. Although the outcome of the battle was still undecided, the fact that they fought like this showed that Aysa's strength as a gym leader was still somewhat lacking.

After all, as a gym leader, one needs to assess the trainers who come to challenge them. If one's own strength is insufficient, one cannot properly fulfill the responsibilities of a gym leader.

"Swellia carterii, use Air Blade!"

Chiba Kaede also began her final battle.

"Lava snail, hatching!"

Unexpectedly, Aysa did not choose to defend and counterattack this time. Instead, she boldly used Shell Smash, abandoning most of her defense in exchange for increased speed and attack power.

After hatching, the lava snail's speed increased dramatically, allowing it to easily dodge the giant swallow's air blades.

"Next, the Lava Snail will use Fog!"

Asha continued to give instructions.

As the lava snails on the field ran to dodge the attacks of the giant swallows, they released poisonous mist. Before long, the field was covered with a deep purple poisonous mist.

Even if a gap is temporarily created by the Great Swallow's air blades, the Lava Snail will quickly repair itself, ensuring that the concentration of poisonous fog on the field is sufficient to cover its location.

"Now's the time! Lava Snail, unleash a barrage of attacks!"

As the Swellow frantically used its air blades to destroy the poisonous fog, it was finally caught off guard by Asa. Although it desperately dodged the incoming stones, it was ultimately struck by one. (New 69 Bookstore →)

The Smash-Down move uses Rock-type energy to condense a special rock. When a Flying-type Pokémon is hit by the rock, it not only suffers damage from the rock but also its body is eroded by the Rock-type energy, causing it to fall from the sky to the ground.

"Royal Swallow, generate airflow, and glide using the airflow!"

Seeing the giant swallow falling to the ground, Chiba Kaede could only try to see if it could still generate and use airflow to prevent it from falling to the ground.

At this moment, the giant swallow was desperately flapping its wings, trying to slow its descent, but its wings, which were usually very light, were now extremely heavy, and even with all its strength, the effect was minimal.

After hearing Chiba Maple's words, it began to try, and this attempt surprised it. The airflow that was very difficult to maneuver in the high sky was now very gentle.

After realizing that it could still manipulate the airflow, the giant swallow stopped flapping its wings and simply kept them spread out, using the external airflow to glide through the sky, temporarily eliminating the risk of falling.

"call!"

Upon seeing this, Chiba Kaede let out a long sigh of relief. If the giant swallow had fallen to the ground, he would have basically lost the match, since the giant swallow, now a free-range chicken, would have no advantage in speed.

"Damn it, you managed to crack it! I trained you to do this."

Aysa was somewhat surprised to see that Swellow had not been shot down. Ever since she lost to Chiba in Slateport City, she had specially trained LavaGreymon to develop this tactic against Flying-type Pokémon.

During this period, whenever a trainer challenged her at the gym using a Flying-type Pokémon, she would have her Magikarp use this move to counter them. It was extremely effective; none of them escaped their fate of falling, and the subsequent outcome was predictable. 🏆♤ ➅➈ˢ𝓱Ữ𝓧.c𝑜м ☯♗

"Lava Snail, continuously spewing flames!"

While the giant swallow has temporarily avoided the risk of falling, it has indeed become much slower in terms of agility and speed.

Of course, Aysa wouldn't let it go so easily. After all, the shot-down skill has a time limit. Once the skill expires, it will be her turn to have a headache. Having learned her lesson once, the Great Swallow will certainly not be shot down again.

The Great Swallow tried its best to manipulate the airflow to dodge the incoming jet flames, but the current situation was indeed very unfavorable for it. It was inevitably hit several times, but fortunately, it was now quite tough and could withstand the damage.

A few minutes later, the negative effects of being shot down were finally removed by the Great Swellow. Seeing that its wings were back under its control, the Great Swellow happily darted through the air. Chiba Kaede and the others on the ground could no longer see it.

"This is... a tailwind?"

Seeing that the Great Swallow was moving unusually fast, Chiba Kaede figured it must have fully mastered the Tailwind skill.

"Alright, Swellow, it's our turn now. Use Brave Bird to unleash your fury!"

Upon hearing the command, the Great Swallow's eyes narrowed. It held firmly against the lava snail on the ground, then covered its entire body with a thick layer of flight-attribute energy, slightly folded its wings, and shot towards the lava snail like a sharp arrow.

"Oh no, lava snail! Get out of the way!"

Asha called out a reminder.

However, before she could even utter the word "dodge," the Giant Swallow had already struck the Lava Snail. At that speed, the Giant Swallow itself also suffered considerable damage, but it still managed to flap its wings and slowly rise into the air.

After the dust settled, a large crater appeared before them, and inside the crater was the lava snail that had lost its ability to fight.

"The match is over! The winner is Chiba Kaede from Chunhua Town!"

As the referee blew the whistle, the all-out competition came to an end, and Chiba Kaede ultimately won the match with great difficulty.

"Congratulations, Xiao Feng, today's match was absolutely fantastic!"

Instead of feeling frustrated by the loss, Aysa felt a sense of unfinished business.

"It was indeed a wonderful match, and I benefited a lot from it. I believe that after this battle, the Giant Swallows will definitely make great progress."

Chiba Kaede gave it his all in this match, but he still almost lost to Aysa, who was just a novice gym leader and whose strength was far from its peak.

Through this match, Chiba Kaede realized where she could stand in this world with her current strength.

He might be considered quite strong among young trainers, but he can't compare to the older generation of trainers; their experience and foundation are beyond his reach.

"That was truly amazing! I haven't seen a challenger as strong as you in a long time!"

Mura then walked over and praised Chiba Kaede.

"You flatter me too much! I still need to work even harder!"

Chiba Kaede answered modestly.

"And you, Aysa, through this competition you should have realized that you are still far from being a qualified Gym Leader. You need to train even harder in the future!"

Mura turned to Asha and said seriously.

"I understand, Grandpa. I have been trying to improve myself, but after today's battle, I feel that I need to work even harder."

After Aya finished speaking, she looked at Chiba Kaede with eyes blazing with fury.

"Big sister, don't look at me like that, I'm scared!"

Chiba Kaede thought to himself, of course he knew what Aya meant, she was planning to use him as a target and wait to defeat him next time.

"I need to go to the Pokémon Center now, Aysa, what about you?"

Today's battle was too intense, resulting in their Pokémon being seriously injured. Chiba Kaede plans to have Nurse Joy help treat them first, so as not to arouse suspicion from Aysa and Mura.

"Right, let's get going!"

After Aya finished speaking, she pulled Chiba Kaede towards the door.

Normally, the Fubuki Gym can heal its own Pokémon, but there were too many injured Pokémon today, and healing them was too slow. Also, Aysa didn't want her grandfather to nag her anymore, so after hearing Chiba's suggestion, she hurriedly pulled her to the Pokémon Center.

"Oh right, I was in a rush and forgot to give it to you. This is the Flame Badge, please accept it!"

Upon arriving at the Pokémon Center, the two handed over the injured Pokémon to Nurse Joy for treatment. With some free time, Aysa seemed to remember something and took out a badge from her pocket, handing it to Chiba Kaede.

The Flame Badge is shaped like a burning flame, with a fiery red base and a touch of orange at the top, like an inextinguishable flame. After admiring it for a while, Chiba Kaede put the badge into the badge box.
