Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

They instinctively turned to look at the principal below, only to see that he too was ashen-faced, clearly not expecting this situation to occur.

The two turned back helplessly; they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go on.

……

The referee blew the whistle, and both sides threw out their Poké Balls.

Without the principal's signal, it was clear that Zhijiang Middle School had sent their old partners: the Fiery Red Fox and the Long-haired Troll.

The doubles pairing from Weicheng No.1 Middle School... is a Clamshell and a Corviknight!

What a strange combination!

Not only Chen Chuan and Pan Yujie, but the audience was also confused. What kind of cooperation did these two elves have?

The same issue also appeared in the live chat, and it was clearly visible that this otherwise unremarkable group stage match began to gain popularity.

The players on the field didn't care about anything else; once the Pokémon was released, it meant the match had begun.

Four voices appeared one after another on the battlefield.

"Hairy Troll, use electromagnetic wave on Cloyster!"

"Red Fox, use Flamethrower on Clamshell!"

Although they didn't know what their opponents' intentions were, their tactical approach was clear: to limit the armored clam.

While Cloyster with the [Continuous Attack] ability does have high attack power, its low durability and slow speed make it an ideal target for focused fire.

Without the Shellder's attacks, the Corviknight was completely at their mercy.

"Spirit-shelled clam, hatching!"

[Shell Split: Lowers own Physical Defense and Special Defense, but greatly increases Physical Attack, Special Attack, and Speed.]

"Steelclaser, fly!"

However, the opponent's instructions left everyone speechless.

Did you hear me wrong?

One gave up on themselves and used the hatching method, while the other directly betrayed their teammate?

While breaking out of the shell is an incredibly powerful enhancement move, its side effects are deadly at this moment.

Cloyster's Special Defense isn't high to begin with, and it's already lowered by a level. If it gets hit by this Flamethrower, it'll probably lose half its life!

……

The hairy troll with the [Mischievous Heart] ability was the first to throw out an electromagnetic wave, which unsurprisingly hit the unavoidable spiky shell.

The crackling electricity wrapped around the spiky shell indicated that it was now paralyzed.

With one attacker paralyzed, the doubles match is essentially half over.

This is what everyone at the scene thought.

However, an unexpected change occurred on the field!

The steel-armored raven, as dark as ink, grabbed the spiky shell with its powerful claws, just like it was hunting prey, and flew into the air!

This premeditated and ingenious move not only allowed him to dodge the fiery breath of the demonic red fox.

More importantly, the orange light on the Spiny Shell, signifying the completion of the enhancement, suddenly shone brightly!

The audience fell silent suddenly, followed by deafening cheers!

No one expected that an ordinary, unknown team, considered a "weak team," could come up with such ingenious ideas!

People love to see the strong prevail, but they love even more to see the weak fight back!

Perhaps this is the charm of Pokémon battles.

Chen Chuan and Pan Yujie, who appeared as background characters for the villains, had bitter smiles.

They knew that the Clamshells that had taken flight with the Steel-armored Ravens were now free to roam the vast ocean and soar through the boundless sky.

Clamshell under the steel-armored crow claws used its shell-breaking ability again, and this time, its dual attack enhancements increased by a full four levels.

Those who have been victims of the Dragon Slayer Shells must know firsthand how terrifying the continuous attacks of the Shells are after hatching.

Meanwhile, the Steel-Armored Raven atop the Dragon Slayer's head fully embodied the spirit of sacrifice, devouring everything, whether it was flamethrowing or bluffing.

In short, don't even think about harming a single hair on the Clamshell Clam!

Without a doubt, the next battle will be Clamshell's showtime.

The Steel Raven's shiny black steel body resembles a black bomber, while the Spiny Clam under its claws is a rocket launcher with unlimited ammunition, an extremely fast rate of fire, and explosive firepower!

This golden duo soared through the air, delivering a spectacular bombing feast for the audience!

Despite the physical damage reduction effect of the long-haired troll's Reflect Wall, the Spiny Shell managed to crush the Fiery Fox, which was twice weak to Rock, with three Rock Critical Hit attacks.

The remaining hairy troll was a bit tougher, but for a hatched spiky troll, it was only a matter of three or five shots.

Five more ice spikes, the terrifying output machine, the Spiked Shell, cut down the hairy troll under the reflective barrier.

The entire audience rose to their feet, cheering wildly!

(Sob sob, this kind of plot, with some comments, would have already reached 4,000 words, but I'm an honest person!)

Author's Remarks

This doubles combination was inspired by a fellow book lover in the group. Share your ideas in the group! By the way, the trailer for "Zhu Zi" is out, and Zi Long looks pretty cool. A group member predicted one would be a fighting dragon and the other an electric dragon. What do you all think? ('?')

Chapter 100: Firefighting Captain Circle Bear!

One side is windy and rainy, the other side is sunny.

The students at Weicheng No. 1 Middle School cheered and jumped for joy, enjoying the enthusiastic applause from the audience.

As for the evil dragon that was slaughtered by the warriors, Zhijiang Middle School was shrouded in gloom and silence.

In the silence, Wang Yiyi clapped her hands. Seeing everyone's eyes turn to her, she said coldly, "Why are you all so discouraged? We're the ones in the lead!"

That being said... in this situation, whether you're in the lead or not is basically meaningless...

Xia Shen thought silently that the three points from the arena match could be the deciding factor in this game.

This was also what others thought, so after a round of morale-boosting, the atmosphere on the field became even stranger.

In the awkward atmosphere, the principal spoke up: "It's my fault that this happened. I underestimated our opponents. Don't put too much pressure on yourselves."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Our opponents still have two main Pokémon that haven't appeared yet, and they probably already have a plan for our arena setup. But there's one variable they'll never guess."

Everyone turned to look at the variable, Xia Shen.

After a moment's thought, the principal said, "How about this, we'll change the order of appearance. Lucky Kappa will go first, MetalGreymon in the middle, and Xia Shen, your Ursaring will finish. Is that alright?"

Suppressing the mix of nervous excitement in his heart, Xia Shen firmly replied, "Leave it to me!"

……

Although they jokingly called the opposing team a "weak team," the difference in strength between the two teams mainly lay in the Pokémon they were paired with.

For example, comparing the two sides' ace Pokémon, Aggron and Cloyster, the former is definitely superior.

To say that Wang Yiyi and Chu Si's second Pokémon, MetalGreymon and Ludicolo, could easily defeat their opponent's two main single-player Pokémon would be a gross underestimation of the heroes of the world.

Xia Shen estimated that Wang Yiyi's Aggron had not been evolved for long and its energy level was only around level 44, which was already the ceiling level of combat power in this breakout competition.

Aside from the Cinderace on the ceiling, this should be the maximum energy level of the Pokémon participating in this competition.

The opponent's other two main single-target Pokémon, no matter how weak they are, still have energy levels of around 38 or 39.

Although their strength is clearly inferior to Pokémon of the same caliber as Swampert and Alakazam, they are still a notch stronger than Metalaxy and Ludicolo.

As for Xia Shen's Garchomp and Ursaring...

The current levels are 34 and 32 respectively, which is the lowest energy level among the participating Pokémon.

……

With the narrator's introduction, the anticipation of all viewers, both on-site and in the live chat, was aroused.

We await the start of the most suspenseful ring match since the start of the breakout rounds.

------

With the referee's whistle, the decisive match between the two teams officially began!

The Poké Ball was thrown, and two red lights flashed, revealing the starting lineups for both sides: Ludicolo and Decidueye.

A match where Chu Si was at a disadvantage in terms of attributes.

Decidueye is resistant to Grass and Water, so Ludicolo's two STAB moves don't deal much damage.

Even more critically, the opponent's remaining main Pokémon, Raven, is in a favorable matchup against MetalGreymon...

Ignoring what happened next, the battle had already begun on the field.

Lucky Kappa still goes first in the rain. Lucky Kappa is only a true duck god in the rain; on a dry day... he's just a dead duck.

So even after withstanding a single shot from a sniper tree owl, Lucky Kappa resolutely activated Rainy Day.

Under the rain, the Duck God, with its speed boost, fought back and forth with its opponent's sniper tree owl.

However, given its inferior energy level and attributes, Lucky Kappa was about to fall first.

But the opponent's final finishing shot, a pinhole shot, went astray!

Without hesitation, Chu Si followed up with an ice beam after the water cannon hit, thus killing his opponent.

……

Off the field, the members of the colonel team cheered and jumped for joy, and even Wang Yiyi showed a relieved smile.

Only Xia Shen's expression became even more solemn.

"What's wrong? Didn't we win?" Xu Chong noticed his expression, which seemed out of place with those around him, and couldn't help but ask.

"What if the trait of the opposing crow leader is overconfidence?"
