...
The next day.
At Lily of the Valley, the semifinal matches will be played live in one day. The popularity of the competition is getting higher every day, not only spectators come to watch the match, but also through TV and the Internet, many are watching the game.
In fact, several large and small forces took the opportunity to open the game, and many people bought the players they supported.
You can buy not only the entire game, but also the results of each round, and even the amount of time each player and Pokémon can spend fighting.
The more precise you buy, the higher the odds you get.
Of course, the higher the return, the higher the risk.
Since Natsu was never well received, the chances were still very high. When he played against Flint last time, Natsu bought himself quite a bit.
But since he wasn't sure he could win 100%, he didn't buy much, so the luck was small.
this time.
He had a better chance against Diantha, but the odds were one in two, so he bought himself three million Alliance Coins.
Not so much, he didn't feel bad about the loss, but he still felt bad about it.
Winning a small allowance can be considered as unexpected income.
"Gary, who are you cheering for today?" Ash looked at Gary with a smile.
He thought Gary had an "innate talent" for Pokémon battles, but he managed to "predict" the outcome of several battles and "overwhelm" Gary.
Gary's innate talent is really hard to deal with, isn't it?
He won Gary, didn't he prove that he has more innate talent?
Ash is in a good mood.
The corner of Gary's mouth twitched at Ash's question.
Because he discovered that this player named Natsu really exceeded his expectations every time.
The so-called data analysis, prediction of battle situations, and Pokémon strengths and weaknesses were all discarded by Natsu.
Not that it didn't work for Natsu, but Natsu always had some unexpected cards and a hidden backhand, so it was hard to know if he had a new way of dealing with him next.
This makes Gary interested in Natsu as a person.
But he still doesn't believe in evil, "Diantha. Even though Natsu's power is unfathomable, and she has done things that many people cannot in their lives, Miss Diantha's strength is clear to everyone."
"hehe, then I will continue to support Natsu."
It was clear that Ash saw Gary as a "beacon".
"Elder sister Daisy, you?"
Daisy thought nothing of it, and immediately gave an answer: "Natsu."
That's so brainless.
But Ash and Daisy reached out and clapped, indicating that the heroes saw the same thing.
Just sandwiched between them, Gary instantly felt like he had a fake older sister.
Then look at Professor Oak.
Professor Oak ignores him completely, and talks to Delia to buy some souvenirs later.
Okay.
He also has a fake grandfather.
"Let's invite, two players in the first round, each of them!"
"'Dragon Trainer' from Viridian, Kanto Region!!! "
Lance's handsome image and some honest demeanor gradually spread in the Alliance had given him a large support base, and when he came out, there were thunderous cheers.
"Furthermore! Also from the Kanto Region, the Sevii Islands grow in the cold tropics of Lorelei's 'Ice Flower'!!"
Ice Flower, I don't know the title. How does the competition find out.
However, Lorelei's popularity was no lower than Lance's, and perhaps even higher. After all, she was a beautiful girl, and she was also an "iceberg beauty" with a "cold" appearance.
Sitting in the player's waiting room, Natsu couldn't help but laugh when he saw Lorelei walking out of the player's tunnel with a stern face.
This pair of enemies, did not expect to meet again.
"What are you laughing at?" Shirona asked, noticing Natsu's smile.
Steve also gave him a curious look.
"Not." Natsu shook his head.
Others might not know, but he noticed that Lorelei was secretly training there every day during this period.
The tactics she practiced which were taught to him by Natsu.
It had to be said that Lorelei also took pains to deal with Lance.
Actually, in terms of Pokémon Attributes alone, Lorelei was restrained, which was why the last time the two played against each other, she couldn't help herself.
But Lance is not so restrained to death, there are still some ways to keep him.
After wanting to fight with Lorelei for so long, Lance should have found some way to deal with Lorelei.
On the referee's orders, the battle began immediately.
The first Pokemon summoned by both sides is game.
Lance summoned Charizard and Lorelei summoned Slowbro.
Judging from the Attributes of the Pokémon summoned in this round, Lorelei is more dominant.
However, this Slowbro is definitely not one of the main Pokémon that Lorelei first trained. His strength is only level (elite). Facing the Starter Pokemon Lance, Charizard who had reached the Gym Leader level was clearly still at a disadvantage.
Therefore, it is impossible to say who has the advantage in this First Stage game.
In the end, this First Stage was where Lance won the first round.
Lorelei takes the place of Pokémon, Lance resolutely gets rid of Charizard, slightly injured and leaves the field for easy targeting.
Later in the second game, Lance summons Gyarados, who evades the Ice-Type Attribute weakness very well, and Lorelei summons Cloyster, one of her signatures.
If you're not at a disadvantage in terms of Attributes, you've made the transition.
But although Lorelei's Cloyster is not a "Link Skill" Characteristic Trait, but because of Natsu's reminder, she secretly learns the "Shell Smash" move, which is considered the first "surprise" for Lance.
With any luck, Gyarados froze and Lorelei won the second round.
Lorelei was also very wise, and instead of letting the heavily injured Cloyster continue the fight, she took it back.
The two then sent another Pokemon.
The one Lance summoned was of course his current strongest Pokémon, Dragonite!
And Lorelei summoned her strongest Pokemon, Lapras.
Natsu again couldn't help himself and smiled when he saw Lapras Lorelei fighting Dragonite.
Under the doubts of Shirona and Steven and the others, Natsu finally said something.
"Remember watching the exhibition match between Agatha Elite and Pryce Elite?" Natsu explained, seeing Dragonite's curvaceous body play "Dragon Dance" on the screen, pointing.
"Remember, you predicted the outcome perfectly." Steven answered without thinking.
Since then the two of them really admired Natsu's tactical understanding.
"You mean" Shirona seemed to be thinking about something.
Natsu nodded.
"Dead?"
"Lapras, Perish Song!" Then they heard Lorelei's cold, loud voice on the TV.
The ultimate one-for-one tactic, the 'Song Killer' tactic!
This is what Lorelei learned from playing the fighting mini-game the first time she met Natsu.
Later, she learned some of the necessary details and moves from Natsu.
lorelei has been secretly practicing this tactic recently!
"But the 'Song Killer' tactic is very limited. Pokemon can avoid that as long as they're taken back and replaced."
"There's a move called 'Block'."
Natsu had just finished speaking when he heard Lorelei's voice on the TV again, "Lapras, Block!"
"Uh"
"Block" This move can prevent Wild Pokémon from escaping, and can also prevent opponents from being able to exchange Pokémon during battle, which is similar to "Mean Look".
It's just that this move is very unpopular, and there really aren't many people who would make Pokemon spend their energy learning this move.
"Then Dragonite can only attack, take out Lapra before the 'Perish Song' takes effect, then break out of the 'Block' boundary," Shirona said.
"'Substitute' and 'Rest' to understand."
Steven: "."
Shirona: "."
The two of them looked at each other.
They finally understood why Natsu was smiling like that before Lance and Shirona started their fight.
This.
This was the second "surprise" Lorelei gave Lance.
What is a forced one-for-one?
This is called forced one-for-one!
Lapras for Dragonite, is it worth it?
Score!
Produce?
Not too.
They are the main players of their respective teams. After the replacement, Lance's overall strength was still slightly stronger than Lorelei's.
However.
It was conceivable that Lorelei, who was holding her breath, wanted Lance to suffer, so she would use this tactic.
But there is no doubt that the "Killer Song" tactics.
It's on fire!
It was estimated, even without forecast, that there would definitely be many Trainers in the future, vying to emulate this tactic, to force one by one.
But you don't have to use the strongest main force like Lorelei, you can make the power a little lower.
Think about the terrifying value of a Quasi-Legendary Pokémon, when a Pokémon that can master the "Perish Song" move, like the Bug-Type "Kricketune" for only a few bucks?
Although the configuration may not be as perfect as Lapras, but if the last game is really played, the opponent only has one Trump Card Pokemon, and when the Pokemon can't be replaced, come to Kricketune to force changes, isn't that joy? ?
This is a typical Pokemon value game.
Presumably with the popularity of the "Song Killer" tactic, there will be some changes in the battle patterns of the entire Pokémon world in the future.
The fight between Lorelei Lapras and Lance Dragonite will definitely be watched over and over again on the Internet to learn skills.
"Isn't that. No way?"
"That is not true." Natsu glanced at them and said slowly: "If Lance let Dragonite use 'Dragon Tail', won't it crack? Or, let your Pokemon learn 'U-Turn', 'Baton Pass', 'Volt Switch' or even 'Last Resort'.
Alternatively, learning moves like 'Whirlwind', 'Roar', 'Circle Throw', 'Dragon Tail', and changing opponents, too.
If you can't, bring the 'Shed Shell' item, it's no big deal."
As for the "Song Killer" tactic, Natsu could really be considered a "trigger-level" character in the Pokémon world.
In fact, the Pokémon world's "Song Killer" tactics are already taking shape, but no one has done any in-depth research in this area yet.
After all, not everyone has a lot of free time to learn tactics.
Young people are busy increasing their strength, and old people are old, what tactics are they still learning?
"Besides, this tactic also depends on who uses it. If an ordinary Trainer and Lorelei used it, would the effect be the same? It also depends on the rhythm of the battle and the control of the battle situation. Gaps can lead to tactical failure. ."
The "Song Killer" tactic is indeed very rampant in the game, and even since it was developed to this day, it has endured for a long time, but there are ways to target it in the game, and this In the real world, there are definitely more opportunities.
This isn't a game anyway. Poor movement connection, unreasonable rhythm, unskilled movement, etc. Everything will be lacking.
Therefore, this tactic will be popular, but not many people can actually use it well.
"Then why doesn't cousin let Dragonite use 'Dragon Tail'?" Claire couldn't help asking now, more nervous than anyone.
"He?" Natsu glanced at Claire and chuckled, showing a slightly complicated smile.
"Don't you understand yet? That is, carefree looks strong, but he is actually a very gentle person. He's trying to get Lorelei to breathe."
Lance: ? ? ?
Claire was silent.
She suddenly felt that her competitors seemed too many.
Was Lance like Natsu said to get Lorelei out of his mouth?
Not bad.
But don't you care if you win or lose?
Not too.
Don't forget, even if Dragonite is swapped, what Pokemon, Charizard, and Cloyster are left!
Charizard is clearly in better shape than Cloyster.
Charizard is Lance's Starter Pokemon, knows his strength best, and has absolute confidence in winning Cloyster Lorelei.
Last time was impossible, Dragonite hadn't evolved yet, Charizard played against the prosperous Water Type Lorelei with Ice Type Pokémon, he would accidentally lose, he didn't hold back, he was a little tougher.
And last time they didn't know each other.
But this time got a lesson, Cloyster is not so good, Charizard's win percentage is more than 90%.
People must always grow up.
So say.
These waves are in the atmosphere.
Lance had seen that, with Lorelei's abilities and potential, he would definitely work with her in the future.
After that, I didn't see you looking up, don't you want to have a good relationship?
In terms of.
If Lorelei went out to do something when she really took the most important step, wouldn't she lose all her efforts?
She must know.
But.
Will Lorelei really buy it?
Maybe now.
If later caught Lance deliberately releasing water, with the character Lorelei tsk tsk tsk.
It's hard to say.
The final result did not exceed some people's expectations, and Lance won the final victory.
Lorelei also sighed "bad anger", and she was not very disliked by Lance, and even stood there and watched him receive the cheers of the audience.
Everyone is happy.
But just as the two were about to leave, Host stopped Lorelei.
"Lorelei player, although I'm very sorry you lost the game, but you two also gave us a great game. On behalf of all the viewers, I would like to thank you." Very talkative.
Lorelei was also caught on camera and shown on the big screen.
"Thank you." Lorelei didn't hold back in the slightest in the face of such a sight.
"The call to stop you this time was primarily at the request of the audience, who wanted to learn more about the tactics your Lapras used."
This is a typical post-match briefing session.
However, it is common to interview the winners, and interviews with eliminated players are relatively rare.
Speaking of Lapras' tactics, Lorelei smiled slightly when she thought that her tactics had succeeded in replacing Dragonite.
"That tactic, the tactic we call the 'Killer Song Tactic'."
"We?" The host is well aware of the key.
"This is a tactic taught by one of my seniors, and it has been very beneficial for me." Lorelei didn't "offer" Natsu directly.
"Then Lorelei, your Senior must be an extraordinary person." The host sighed.
Lorelei nodded "Yes, my Senior is very knowledgeable, and he knows Pokemon much better than I do. In my heart, he is the 'Tactical Master'."
Tactical Master!
This is definitely a very high rating.
The host asked doubtfully: "I wonder if Lorelei isn't comfortable revealing your Senior? I believe everyone hopes to learn some tactics from this 'Tactical Master'."
He had to ask this, because the online live broadcast of this match had exploded with comments about asking about the 'Song Killer' tactics.
Server is running out of steam.
Summoning to stop Lorelei is also the above command.
Lorelei hesitated.
Natsu didn't tell Lorelei not to speak, but she didn't know if she should say it without Natsu's permission.
In the waiting room, Natsu was already standing.
He believed Lorelei Shouldn't be said, so he started doing some preparations.
"He's also one of the contestants of this tournament."
It wasn't Lorelei who spoke, but Lance who was waiting beside her.
The camera rotates.
Lance couldn't deny what he just said, and even gave the camera a gesture that only Natsu could understand, and slammed his robes down.
No, thank you, brother.
Natsu's expression couldn't hold back the slightest bit.
He felt lightly "stabbed" in the back.
Steven and Shirona smiled behind him.
Gold cannot be hidden.
The host filtered his thoughts quickly, and he couldn't remember until the background staff's words came from the headset.
"Natsu."
The host's eyes lit up, "So, is Natsu's upcoming player next?"
All from the Kanto Region, slightly older than Lorelei, the ability to possess such tactics was not weak. Among the remaining players, the only one who met the standard was Natsu.
Lorelei no longer hesitated when she heard the guess, nodding.
"en."
Tactical Master Natsu, online!
