Chapter 477 Preliminary Round, Blade Crushing Strike!
Hearing this, the Ivory Pig's eyes narrowed and a low roar came out of its mouth.
The power of ice and snow explodes!
Kaka!
The ice spread rapidly, and the two ice fangs seemed to be welded together by an invisible force. In the blink of an eye, a terrifying ice cone tens of meters long was formed.
The icicles emitted a bone-chilling chill, freezing the air around them.
"That's it, go ahead!"
Faced with such a powerful attack, King Yanwu, who had just used the Flash Flame Charge, no longer had the strength to resist.
It opened its eyes wide and watched the ice cone flying towards it at a high speed.
Click bang!
The attack power gained by sacrificing speed directly pushed King Yanwu out of the arena.
Then, King Yanwu fell heavily to the ground and lost his ability to fight.
"King Yanwu lost his ability to fight, and the Ivory Pig won!"
As the referee's voice fell, the Bailu Conference came to an end, and Xiaoguang officially passed the preliminaries!
Subsequently, competitions in other venues were also carried out in an orderly manner.
First, Xiaozhi sent out the leader of the Unova region, Crocodile, to easily defeat the opponent's Daruma Baboon and successfully won the preliminaries.
As for Bagir, he relied on the Thunder Elf's discharge and storage of electricity to recover health, and he managed to outlast his opponent's almost-dolls and also advanced.
As for Kotetsu, although his brain circuits are not normal, his strength is still very good.
His opponent sent out a Toad King. As both were melee Pokémon, Kotetsu's Lucario almost toyed with his opponent and won the game easily.
At this point, several people have passed the preliminaries normally, entered 64, and started three rounds of eliminations!
The next day, the first round of the knockout stage officially began.
It is still the familiar venue C.
The opponent in the first round is from the Kalos region, Miare City, and his name is Carter.
(Book friend Ai Chi Zhi Yin’s Xianyu made a guest appearance)
This person had not participated in the League Conference this time, so the information was limited, so Rotom did not gather any information about whether he had any hidden Mega Evolutions.
"Both players are in place. I declare that the first match of the first round of the elimination tournament will begin now!"
Following the referee's command, the two threw out the Poké Balls at the same time.
"Go, Commander Chuizhan!"
"I'm counting on you, Shieldsword!"
The Poké Ball flashed by, and Xiaoyun sent out the Lizard King's eldest disciple, Commander Slash.
On the other side, Carter sent out a giant sword-shaped Pokémon with a unique shape.
It has a long and thick sword body, and the sword spine is bright golden yellow.
In the center of the sword, there is a deep and mysterious dark purple vertical pupil, as if it can see through everything in the world.
Unlike the common scabbard, it has a solid round shield in the center.
The blade is wider than the blade and is serrated. There is a ribbon arm on each side of the hilt that can change its shape.
Rotom made a sound at the right time: "Ding ding."
"Shieldsword, the King of Sword Pokémon"
"Attributes: Steel + Ghost"
"Introduction: The vertical pupil in the center can see into a person's heart and reveal their potential. It is said that those recognized by it will eventually become king!"
"Me? Is it me? I can be king?"
Listening to Rotom's introduction, Carter pointed at himself with a look of disbelief on his face.
How come it's just like what I heard in novels, where I start by attending the alliance conference and end up becoming the king?
"Kin...?"
Not to mention Carter, even the Shieldsword himself was a little confused.
What the hell, it has a talent for judging people? How come it doesn't know it?
It was just about to explain to Carter that there might be a misunderstanding, but when it turned around, it met Carter's gaze that was so hot that it seemed to be burning.
The Shield Blade Monster thought for only 2.5 seconds and instantly came up with an idea.
It silently put its ribbon arms behind its back, posing as if it were an accomplished sage.
That’s right, it’s you!
It is your honor to be appreciated by this sword master. From now on, I don't need to say who is older and who is younger between us...
Carter noticed that the Shield Sword Monster's temperament changed instantly. His originally skeptical heart began to waver and he gradually lost himself.
We, we are truly the king!
Mom, I, no, I have made it!
The referee saw that Carter was distracted, so he kindly reminded him:
"Ahem, Carter, you will attack first in this match, please pay attention to the time!"
"Humph!"
King Carter was very unhappy to have his sweet dream interrupted. He frowned, glanced at the referee, and was secretly angry:
You are just a referee, you have no sense at all and dare to be disrespectful to me.
Just wait till the game is over, I will arrange for you to clean the toilet in a minute.
At this time, Rotom spoke again:
"Ding ding, Lotor didn't finish what he said just now. Although the person who carries the Shield Blade Monster will become the king, the Shield Blade Monster will also suck away his energy, shortening his lifespan, and the country will soon perish."
Boom!
King Carter, who was originally arranging for the referee to clean the toilet, suddenly turned pale, as if struck by a bolt from the blue.
It’s over. My kingdom is gone.
"Jian..."
Seeing this, the Shieldsword Monster felt a little bit sorry, so he quickly flew back to Carter, stretched out his ribbon arm and patted him gently.
Nothing is gone, everything will be fine.
"Shieldblade, I am so lucky to have you."
Carter sniffed, ignored the spirit's warning, and pulled up the shield sword monster's ribbon arm with tears in his eyes.
At this moment, the scene of deep affection between master and servant is truly touching.
In the audience, Ah Xun had a strange expression on his face and couldn't help but say:
"Um...what are they doing?"
Beside him, Xiao Wang spread his hands and replied:
"I don't know. Maybe it's the custom in Carlos' place. Cry before hitting someone as a sign of respect?"
"Uh...., this guy is a dramatic actor."
I don’t know why, but Xiaoyun felt like she was forced to watch a cliché movie.
They believe everything Rotom says. Are the people of Kalos so naive?
The referee, who was almost assigned to clean the toilet, didn't care about Carter's inner struggle. He took out the yellow card with a serious face and reminded him again:
"Player Carter, pay attention to the time! If you don't attack, it will be considered as giving up!"
Carter was startled by the voice, as if awakened from a dream, and the confusion on his face was instantly replaced by determination.
"Shieldsword monster, we have to be serious."
As he spoke, he waved his arm and gave a decisive order:
"Shadow sneak attack!"
Following Carter's instructions, the ribbon on the hilt of the Shieldsword moved without wind, and the sword body hummed and turned into a black shadow that sank into the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the Shield Sword Monster appeared behind Commander Slash like a ghost and launched a sudden attack.
boom!
Commander Slash had never expected that the Shield Sword Monster would attack from behind. He was unable to dodge and was violently knocked away by the Shield Sword Monster!
"Good job, Shieldsword!"
Seeing this, Carter shouted excitedly:
"Keep attacking! Use continuous slashing!"
The Shieldsword Monster was encouraged and its morale was boosted. It waved its shield and sword and pounced on the Commander-in-Chief like a whirlwind.
The series of fierce attacks were like a violent storm, and for a moment even Commander Chop was overwhelmed.
"Slash Commander, Metal Claw!"
Seeing this, Xiaoyun immediately gave orders.
As soon as he finished speaking, the commander's claws were instantly covered with a layer of hard metallic luster, like two sharp blades.
Click, click, click!
The metal claws collided with the Shield Blade, making crisp and dense collision sounds.
The flashes of swords and the shadows of sabers were crisscrossing, and the sounds echoed throughout the entire arena!
The two sides fought back and forth, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.
But as time went on, the Slash Commander, who often practiced under the Lizard King, quickly adapted to the attack rhythm of the Shield Sword Monster and gradually gained the upper hand.
"Now is the time to attack the vital points!"
Just when the Shield Sword Monster was showing signs of fatigue, Xiaoyun seized the opportunity and suddenly shouted.
Commander Chop paused, and at the moment his metal claws pressed against the Shield Sword Monster's sword, his other hand quickly gathered energy.
The dark energy fluctuations wrapped around its arm like ink, and in the blink of an eye, a shadowy long sword condensed in the front part of the commander's arm!
"hack!"
Commander Chop shouted, raised his sword, and slashed with the shadow sword straight at the shield sword monster!
"Jian!"
The Shield Sword Monster had no time to dodge and was knocked away by the sudden attack!
The commander slashed with his sword with a graceful and neat movement.
This impressive scene drew cheers from the audience.
Xiaoyun stood at the back of the battlefield, staring at the fierce battle in front of him, and shouted loudly:
"Very good, keep attacking!"
Hearing Xiaoyun's order, Commander Chop raised the shadow sword in his hand without hesitation, tapped the ground lightly with his toes, and rushed towards the Shield Sword Monster again!
Facing the fierce attack of Commander Slash, Carter's heart tightened and he reacted quickly:
"Strong Shield Sword Monster, King's Shield!"
The two ribbon arms of the Shield Blade Monster quickly closed together to form a huge shield.
Exclusive move——King’s Shield!
When the shadow sword chopped down, a strong energy wave emanated from the shield, forming an invisible protective film.
Buzz...!
The entire stadium was filled with the sound of a bell.
Then, the Shield Sword Monster suddenly shook its shield with force, and the shield exerted force again, and the recoil force rushed towards the Slashing Commander!
Boom boom!
Under this huge impact, Commander Cleave flew backwards suddenly, and took several steps back before he could barely stabilize his body.
"Wow, this thing is so hard?"
Xiaoyun was a little surprised, and obviously did not expect the shield to have such strong defensive power.
"Of course, a man must be hard!"
Carter raised his chin, smiled triumphantly, and then issued a new order:
"Shield Sword Monster, Holy Sword!"
When the Shieldsword Monster heard the command, it instantly switched into sword form. The original shield quickly unfolded and turned into a giant sword shining with cold light.
The sword shone brightly, as if it contained endless sharpness!
"Chop off the commander, Ironhead!"
Xiaoyun shouted next.
Commander Slash was not to be outdone. He quickly raised his head, which was like a head hammer, and rushed towards the holy sword of the Shield Sword Monster!
Boom boom!
The two collided again, and the strong impact force spread out from the collision point to the surroundings, causing the ground to shake!
Both sides retreated again and put some distance between them.
Seeing this, Xiaoyun's fighting spirit was also aroused, and he continued to shout:
"Come again, Chop the Commander, use Iron Head!"
Carter did not show any weakness and chose to confront head-on:
"Strong Shield Sword Monster, King's Shield!"
Boom boom! !
There was another loud bang, and this time the collision was even more intense!
But obviously, the King Shield of the Shield Blade Monster is better!
Carter smiled confidently: "It's useless. No one can break the King's Shield of the Shield Blade Monster head-on!"
In order to prove Carter's words, the Shield Sword Monster immediately pushed hard, and the Commander Slash was knocked out again!
"I don't believe it. All fear comes from insufficient firepower. Try this trick!"
Xiaoyun frowned, swung his arms violently, and his hair was blown into the air by the strong wind.
"Chop the commander, Thousand Blades Shatter!"
When Commander Cleave received the order, his eyes suddenly narrowed and the blades on his arms emitted a dazzling silver light.
Click!
The originally condensed metal claws exploded like glass, turning into thousands of sharp fragments!
The tiny pieces of metal fragments flashed coldly in the sunlight, like falling meteors from the sky!
Thousand Blades Crushing!
Immediately afterwards, Commander Chop's wrist suddenly turned!
In an instant, thousands of broken metal blades swept towards the shield sword monster!
The sharp and piercing sound of breaking through the air seemed to tear the entire space apart!
Damn, what the hell is this!
Carter's Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, and he shouted in panic, almost at the top of his voice:
"Shieldsword Monster, use the King's Shield!"
Upon hearing this, the purple vertical pupil in the center of the Shield Sword Monster glowed with a layer of faint light, the golden lines on the sword's spine shone brightly, and the thick sword body quickly crossed in front of the body!
The King's Shield is activated again!
Click, click, click!
The next moment, metal fragments poured down on the Shield Sword Monster's defense like a rainstorm, causing endless collision sounds and sparks!
Some fragments were shaken back and embedded deeply in the ground.
Others flew past the hilt of the Shieldsword Monster, leaving shallow scratches on the ribbon arm.
Carter shouted loudly: "Aegisblade, hold on!"
Hearing Carter's words, the Shieldsword Monster held on tenaciously, its body trembling slightly, obviously under tremendous pressure.
After the Metal Thousand Blades ended, the Shield Sword Monster's momentum was lost, the sword's light dimmed, and it could hardly maintain its basic shield form.
Xiaoyun couldn't help but admire: "Amazing, you can bear this."
Thousand Blades Shattering Strike, the metal claws, which are originally a steel-type move, are shattered and reassembled, and a layer of metal energy is attached to them again, giving them inherent penetrating power and an even higher sharpness!
"But that's it."
Then, Xiaoyun continued to give orders:
"Vicious pursuit!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Commander Slash took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of the Shield Sword Monster, with a layer of shadow energy surrounding his arms!
Malicious Pursuit: For those who have already been harmed, the power is doubled.
Boom boom!
This attack, with double the power of malicious pursuit, slammed towards the Shield Sword Monster.
In an instant, a dazzling light burst out in the arena, and a strong energy impact raged!
After the light dissipated, the Shield Sword Monster's sword had become dim, and the vertical pupil in the center slowly closed.
The referee announced loudly: "Aegisblade is no longer able to fight. Carter, please send out your next Pokémon!"
"Sword Shield Monster, thank you for your hard work."
Carter took a deep breath and threw the Poké Ball: "Go, Boskodora!"
The Poké Ball flashed by, and a large beast Pokémon replaced the Shield Blade.
Its entire body is covered in hard armor, and its limbs are covered with silver steel rings.
Two sharp horns extend from the two holes in the front, and there is an extremely thick tail on the back, which can also be used for attack.
The steel behemoth - Boskodora!
