Chapter 334 Surpassing Dianci! The Ninth Elf!
Bang!
Bang Bang Bang!
Bang~
On the 16th floor of the Battle Tower, Mingzheng sat cross-legged on the ground, drinking milk, looking relaxed.
He had a strong physique, so he could easily pass through the levels, but he was still a little tired.
At this moment, with the green grass field beneath him and the aromatherapy surrounding him, Mingzheng and his companions felt so comfortable that it didn't seem like they were passing through the levels at all.
On the other side of the 16th floor, Geodude, Rhydon and Rhydon were lying on the ground in a mess, oblivious to the bang bang bang sounds around them.
The usually silent Gara Gara was now very excited, as if he was buying melons at the market, tapping left and right, trying to pick out a good melon with the most moisture and the sweetest taste.
The only difference was... well, he was a little heavy-handed.
"Gara Gara, five more minutes!"
"Gar~"
Gara Gara responded reluctantly, and seeing that half of the melons had not been tapped, he could only speed up.
Bang bang bang bang...
In the hall, the discussion after Daye left was even louder, because Mingzheng had also stayed on the sixteenth floor for more than 15 minutes, which shows the difficulty of this level.
On the other side, Daye's challenge speed was even faster than Mingzheng at the beginning.
As expected of a fire-type specialist, he mainly focuses on explosive power!
"It's the seventeenth floor, and Mingzheng is still so fast!"
"No way, no way, is Denci really going to be surpassed?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, the champion of the competition, it's really terrifying~"
"..."
In the battle tower, Mingzheng, who had basically recovered to his prime, came to the seventeenth floor with the shuttlecock cotton.
There was no examiner, and the broadcast sounded normally. Mingzheng looked at the full red light in front of him, and his heart was very calm.
Well, it's time to rest again.
Soon, dense stinky flowers, king flowers and beautiful flowers appeared in front of Mingzheng.
If the grass + poison stinky flower tribe is ineffective against them, it will take some effort.
When Jianzimian took the lead in using Tailwind to isolate the stench, several red lights flashed around Mingzheng.
Metal Monster, Flash Ace, Weird Horned Deer, and Sticky Beauty!
Four companions appeared, all of whom had attribute suppression from the Stinky Flower Clan.
The next second, Jianzimian's aromatherapy combined with Tailwind formed an invisible air barrier, eliminating all abnormal state attacks from the Stinky Flower Clan.
Then, just clear the field!
Mind Hammer!
Flame Ball!
Barrier Rush!
Freeze Beam!
Instantly, the seventeenth floor fell into chaos, and various skills flew all over the sky.
Metal Monster immediately identified the only high-level gym owner, the Tyrant Flower. Its steel arms turned into thrusters, and its body was wrapped in blue and purple superpowers. It slammed into the opponent fiercely, ignoring the Stinky Flowers who wanted to intercept it, and rushed all the way!
On the other side, Flash Ace also saw the Beautiful Flower, who was also a high-level gym owner, and kicked a flame ball without saying a word.
At this moment, the dense tribe became a disadvantage in the narrow seventeenth floor, and the "decapitation operation" of Metal Monster and Flash Ace also made the two leaders exhausted and unable to command the tribe to launch a counterattack in time.
Taking advantage of this chaos, Nian Meier and Weird Horned Deer, one close combat and one long-range attack, began to "clean up" the battlefield unscrupulously!
In just ten minutes, the Stinky Flower tribe was completely defeated, and the leaders of the Tyrant Flower and the Beautiful Flower were defeated by Metal Monster and Flash Ace respectively.
With the shuttlecock cotton, the status skills of the Stinky Flower tribe were all invalid, and they were naturally no match for Mingzheng's partners in terms of hard power.
This is also the reason why they were defeated so quickly!
The next floor, the eighteenth floor!
At this time, Denci finally broke through the nineteenth floor and came to the 20th floor.
There is still a gap of two floors between the two.
Ding Dong!
The elevator opened, and a piece of plastic board floated slightly, squeezing out some water stains and pouring them on Mingzheng's shoes.
The eighteenth floor is still a tribe simulation battle.
Tribe - Stinging Jellyfish!
This time, there were no more agate jellyfish to make up the numbers, and all of them evolved to the final level of the gym owner.
Fortunately, the number was not as large as before, about fifteen or sixteen.
Bang, bang, bang!
A red light flashed, and Jianzimian, Weijiaolu, Nianmeier and the metal monster appeared at the same time.
"Whisper!"
The Weijiaolu carried Mingzheng into the air, and at the same time did not forget to bring Nianmeier with the barrier.
Jianzimian and the metal monster followed closely behind, and none of them went into the water.
Mingzheng looked at the dense agate red eyes below and spoke calmly.
"Favourable wind! Pray for rain!"
Jianzimian and Nianmeier obeyed the order and completed the skills one after another.
Soon, heavy rain poured down, covering the stinging jellyfish that were already hidden in the water even more unclear.
"Shuttlecock Cotton is for defense, and Strange Horn Deer is for flash. Metal Monster, go catch fish... no, catch jellyfish, one by one!
Nian Meier, use thunder! Blast them one by one!"
The elves responded and took action immediately.
The metal monster dived into the water, and a stinging jellyfish was caught out of the water with a faint flash of lightning.
Nian Meier saw the right moment and shouted to remind the metal monster.
The moment the latter let go, a lightning bolt fell from the sky!
Crack!
The stinging jellyfish was completely hit, and before falling back into the water, it had become extremely charred!
Defeat, 1!
"Keep going!"
"Beta!"
The metal monster shouted excitedly, then dived into the water again, using the thunder fist to bring out another stinging jellyfish.
Crack!
Nian Meier stood on the barrier, with a pair of emotionless eyes under the heavy round shell.
Defeat, two!
"Beta Beta!"
The metal monster was so excited that it forced its way into the water again.
But as soon as it entered the water, dozens of tentacles came rushing in, trapping it and pulling it under the water!
A blue light flashed in the metal monster's eyes, and the mind hammer was used. The superpowers burst out around it, and it immediately broke through the siege of the poisonous stinging jellyfish.
Then, a fierce light flashed in its eyes, and it grabbed the nearest one and flew to the surface of the water.
This time it was delayed for a while, but fortunately, Zhan Mei'er's skill proficiency was not bad, and the thunder was still able to connect smoothly.
Defeat, 3!
But this time, the metal monster hadn't entered the water yet, and the stinging jellyfish finally couldn't help it. One by one, they all surfaced and attacked Mingzheng's side.
Because the challenge had a time limit, Mingzheng's side should have been anxious, and the stinging jellyfish hiding in the water would naturally not attack rashly.
Who knew that Mingzheng chose to defeat them one by one at the beginning, and in such a brutal way.
The consecutive fall of three companions finally made them angry, and they launched a full-scale attack!
But Jianzimian and Guijiaolu had been secretly alert. When the stinging jellyfish appeared, they blocked it and ran away, and flew to the other side in a blink of an eye.
Nian Meier didn't care, and she aimed at a stinging jellyfish and sent it with thunder!
Crack!
This time, the thunder acted directly on the water surface, and the one that was attacked was directly electrocuted, and the spreading current paralyzed several nearby ones!
"Beta!"
A silver light flashed, and the metal monster opened his bows left and right, and punched the two paralyzed stinging jellyfish with two thunder and lightning punches!
Compared with the good special defense, the physical defense of the stinging jellyfish can't stop the attack of the metal monster!
In an instant, another 3 fell!
The furious stinging jellyfish suddenly woke up. How arrogant it was when it floated out before, how embarrassed it was when it got underwater now.
In a short time, the number of stinging jellyfish was reduced by one third. Mingzheng's fierce attack had frightened them.
"Metal monster, keep going!"
"Beta!"
With a loud shout, Metal Gai dived into the water again, and was more cautious under his arrogant attitude.
But at this moment, the stinging jellyfish were still in fear of thunder, and they could not unite completely. In a blink of an eye, another one was taken away by the metal monster.
Just as Mingzheng challenged the 18th floor in an orderly manner, Dianci completed the challenge of the 20th floor in a very short time, causing people in the hall and the lounge to exclaim.
In particular, in the lounge, a girl full of energy had already stood up first.
"Xiaosong, teach our newcomers a lesson, don't let them be so arrogant!"
"Haha, that's right!"
The girl named Xiaosong tied her coat around her waist, rolled up her sleeves, and clenched her fists with confidence.
"Of course, watch me!"
...
Ten minutes later, Mingzheng finally completed the challenge of the eighteenth floor. Recalling the previous three tribe simulation battles, he had roughly guessed the content of the challenge of the nineteenth floor.
"The rest should be the ice system!"
Ding Dong!
The elevator opened, and a cold air rushed in. Mingzheng squinted his eyes and thought to himself that it was as expected.
Rock, grass, water... Then there is only one ice left, which together is the attribute field that has just emerged.
Rock field, grass field, water field and... Ice field!
"Diya!!!!"
A domineering roar sounded, and ten imperial sea lions stood neatly on the thick ice, waiting for Mingzheng to enter.
They were connected to each other, and they were completely different from the stinging jellyfish that hid in the previous level.
Before entering the field, Mingzheng already felt the pressure!
Without hesitation, Mingzheng threw his hands, and the flashing red light almost drowned him.
Garagara, Metal Monster, Shuttlecock Cotton, Trickhorn Deer, Flame Ace, Slimy Beauty, Blastoise!
Eight gym leader-level elves, all out!
Almost instantly, Mingzheng's momentum overwhelmed the Emperor Tooth Sea Lion, and even made him roll up his sleeves.
A melee is about to break out!
…
"19th floor! How long do you think Mingzheng can clear it?"
"20 minutes, the Emperor Tooth Sea Lion grew up in the northern ice field and has experienced battles all his life. He will not be weak."
In the lounge, a member of the second echelon of Group B adjusted his glasses and analyzed rationally.
Many people nodded, thinking that 20 minutes was already an overestimation of Mingzheng.
"Wow, all of them are sent out. I wonder if you can command so many elves at once?"
"If all are sent out, the time should be shorter, right?"
"15 minutes, at least!" The man with glasses continued to adjust his glasses, looking confident.
Suddenly, Shirona, who was in the middle of the sofa, stood up and walked straight out.
"Captain, it's still early for Denci!"
Beside her, Mira, who was also in the first echelon, said subconsciously.
Shirona stopped and turned around and said, "I'm not waiting for Denci."
"It's not Denci... it's Mingzheng?!"
"Yeah"
Shirona nodded and continued to walk out, not caring about the surprised eyes of the crowd.
After she left, the lounge was briefly quiet, and many people subconsciously looked to another place.
There, a group of people were faintly surrounding an expressionless man.
"Hey~ What are you all staring at Fujisae from the second team?"
The nervous Mira asked again curiously.
As soon as she finished speaking, someone gently pulled her clothes and then whispered.
"Mila, you won't forget who is the gatekeeper of the last three levels, right?"
"I remember... I remember, they are the first of the three echelons of our group B. Xiaosong of the third team has already gone to prepare, how could I forget, hehe..."
Mila said with a guilty conscience, she didn't admit that she just remembered it.
"That's right, but Fujisae is the first of the second echelon, that is, the gatekeeper of the second to last level!"
"Emmm... so what?"
Mila's teammates held their foreheads in despair.
"My silly Mila, don't you understand yet? Mingzheng wants to fight with the captain who guards the last level, so he must first beat Fujisae who is the second to last level.
Now that the captain has left first, doesn't it mean that Fujisae is not Mingzheng's opponent?
And although Fujisae was specially recruited into the representative team, she... was indeed defeated by Mingzheng!"
"Ah???"
This surprise was too loud, and Mira immediately attracted everyone's attention.
No matter how thick she was, she blushed at this moment, covering her face and not daring to look at people.
On the other side, Fujisae's mouth twitched.
Hold on...Hold on...
"It's over! It only...only took...four minutes!"
Fujisae: "How is it possible?!"
...
On the 19th floor, Mingzheng patted the snow on his shoulders and smiled as his companions returned to him one by one.
With all eight elves deployed, Diya Sea Lion had no chance to fight back except for the first move of Multiple Blizzard, which was a little tricky.
Four minutes, a little longer than Mingzheng expected, but it was not a big problem.
After collecting his companions one by one, Mingzheng entered the elevator and glanced at the progress of the level on the display screen in the elevator.
[Remaining time for challenge] 80 minutes
[Challenge ranking]
1 Denci 20th floor challenge in progress
2 Mingzheng 20th floor challenge in progress
3...
...
17 Daye 8th floor challenge in progress
Mingzheng smiled slightly.
"Catch up!"
Dingdong~
The elevator on the 20th floor opened, and Mingzheng's smile was not retracted before he saw the examiner looking at him with a smile.
"?"
The examiner did not speak, but pointed at the broadcast.
[Sinnoh Regional Team Trial, Tower Climbing, 20th Floor, 1V1 Designated Battle, Please ask the examiner to designate the Pokémon to be used by the players]
Mingzheng was stunned. For a moment, he did not even understand the rules of the game.
Then, the examiner said with a smile, "Just choose your Pokémon that has never appeared!"
Never appeared...
Mingzheng thought about it and soon guessed the examiner's idea.
The Trial allows the use of 9 Pokémon, but it does not mean that all players can gather 9 gym leader-level Pokémon. After all, the registration requirement is only 6 gym leader-level Pokémon.
In the 19th floor challenge, Mingzheng sent out 8 Pokémon, but he kept one.
Given the time and age when he became a trainer, it is more likely that there is no ninth gym leader-level Pokémon!
Examiner, you are really a clever guy!
Thinking of this, Mingzheng took out the last Poké Ball with a smile.
"This Pokémon, I hope the Alliance will keep it a secret for me. Dr. Yamanashi's research report is on the way."
"Moon Moon Bear! It's your turn!"
