Chapter 738: Lineup
"Lin Shi, have you figured out how to match the lineup?"
In the underground world, in a dark cave, Lin Shi's eyes swept over the excited little diamonds in front of him. The usually calm Diancie finally couldn't help but ask out loud this time.
"Well, I have some ideas." Lin Shi nodded.
The form of this battle is very novel. It is a team battle. The two tribes of Diamond and Soul-catching Eyes each send out five elves of similar levels to fight in the depths of a pitch-black cave where you can't see your hand in front of you.
Judging from this rule, the Soul-Snatching Eyes clan is indeed smart. Although they agreed to Lin Shi's command, they chose such a special place. Obviously, they felt that Lin Shi, as a human being, could not help the little diamonds in such a place.
But unfortunately, they don't know what's special about Lin Shi. For him who possesses super-powers, communication with the elves can even transcend space, let alone this darkness.
Lin Shi agreed to such a battle because he actually wanted to solve the problem of the Soul-Snatching Eyes Clan once and for all.
After all, the old grudge between the two races is there. Even if Lin Shi used force to drive away the Soul-Snatching Eyes Clan this time, as long as he did not eliminate them, conflicts would be inevitable in the future. Lin Shi did not have that much energy to be involved here.
However, he cannot use his own Pokémon in this battle, which will test his ability as a trainer in deploying troops.
To be honest, after being a trainer for such a long time, this was the first time that Lin Shi felt how difficult this job was. The two groups of elves he had to fight against this time were really... too special.
Be it Soul-Catching Eyes or Diamond, they are not main combat elves at all. Their positions in the game are basically supporting hands.
Diamond Crusher has extremely high double defense, and can also create space or split the defense. It is very suitable to be paired with Chansey in the Shrinking Team. Not to mention Haunted Eyes, an elf with the Mischievous Heart trait. Lin Shi has never seen many elves that are not suitable for support.
But compared to the support, the attack capabilities of these two sides are really... the same as nothing. If these two sides were to fight, Lin Shi really couldn’t imagine what the scene would be like.
"In that case, it will be the five of you."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Shi picked out five small diamonds from the elf group. Four of them were around level 45, the best among the elves of the same level. They should have mastered all the basic skills and their proficiency was not low. Two of them even mastered skills that were not at their current level. There was no reason for Lin Shi not to choose them.
But Lin Shi's last choice was somewhat unexpected. He jumped over one excellent Pokémon after another, and finally stopped at a small Diamond that was a circle smaller and less than 40 levels, with a slight smile on his lips.
"The last one is you."
"Hey?"
The small diamond that was pointed at by Lin Shi was stunned for a moment. With its level, it never thought that it would be chosen by Lin Shi.
As if he noticed the little diamond's lack of confidence, Lin Shi touched its head and looked very confident.
"Don't worry, you are our trump card."
……
“Quack, quack…”
“Oh my…”
Before the team battle even started, the atmosphere between the two elves was already tense, with them constantly roaring and provoking each other.
"Okay, everyone, please be quiet."
Lin Shi clapped his hands and said, and his words seemed to have magic, accurately transmitted into the inner world of each elf, making them calm down involuntarily.
"Since everyone is ready, let's not waste time and get started."
Lin Shi looked at the leader of the Soul-Snatching Eyes and said, the other party is naturally not afraid. This is the fighting method proposed by them. Naturally, he is full of confidence in himself and nodded immediately.
Beside it, five Soul-Catching Eyes, which were actually not weak and were all level 45, walked out and entered the dark cave. Lin Shi glanced around and the information of several elves appeared in front of him. The characteristics and skill configurations of the opponents were as he expected, which made him feel a lot more at ease.
"Let's go in too, come on everyone."
With Lin Shi's encouragement, five small diamonds also entered the cave with Lin Shi, and the smallest one was surrounded in the middle.
The light in front of him was getting dimmer and dimmer, so Lin Shi simply closed his eyes. The power of super-control burst out instantly, spreading outward like a light wave, allowing him to quickly lock the positions of all the elves, more accurately than what he saw with his eyes.
"Very good, let's officially begin."
Lin Shi spoke first, and the leader of the Soul-Snatching Eyes was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Lin Shi, a human, would be so confident in such an environment. This made him a little curious about this human.
But even so, it is still full of confidence. After all, although the attack capabilities of their Soul-Snatching Eyes clan are limited, they are very good when it comes to team combat.
"Quaaaah!"
The leader of the Soul-Snatching Eyes shouted loudly, marking the official start of the battle. It was at this time that Lin Shi immediately took command.
"Xiao1 uses Flash!"
Compared to the Haunted Eyes which are accustomed to darkness, although the Diamond can also move in the dark, it is still inferior, so the disadvantages of the venue must be resolved before the battle begins.
"Hey!"
Little Diamond No. 1 reacted quickly, and a dazzling light instantly emanated from his body, quickly dispelling the darkness in the cave, revealing the figures of the two elves.
"Quaaaah!"
As if it had been waiting for the opportunity for a long time, the one in the middle of the five bewitching eyes immediately flashed white light and sank into the body of the little diamond in almost the blink of an eye.
This is the skill - Do it again. Relying on the mischievous heart characteristic of this enchanting eye, this skill takes effect instantly. Xiao 1 is affected and can only use the flash skill for a short period of time.
But Lin Shi did not show any surprise expression, and calmly let Xiao 1 use the flash. In addition to lighting, it can also reduce the hit rate of the Hooking Eyes, which is not a loss in any way. Of course, it can only affect the three Hooking Eyes with mischievous intentions, and the remaining two have the sharp gaze characteristics, so this skill is ineffective against them.
"Quaaaah!"
And it was at this moment, the two sharp and charming eyes were already filled with rich shadow power. They stretched out their claws, and a shadow claw suddenly shot out in the darkness and rushed towards the same small diamond claw.
It looks like they are planning to take care of one at a time. Shadow attack has a preemptive effect, and is even more advantageous in this special environment.
"Hey!"
But at this time, the still glowing Little 1 appeared directly in front of Little 2. Under the strong light, the shadow was instantly dispelled, and the shadow claws that were originally close at hand were instantly pulled away.
At the same time, steel energy emerged from Little 2's body. Under the nourishment of this power, its body seemed to be covered with a layer of metal film. Its already terrifying defense increased again. The shadow's late attack could only draw a few horizontal lines on it...
