...
Natsu VS Flint.
Both represent the Sinnoh Region.
From here, we can look back at the team's "field possession ability".
Regardless of who wins in the end, Natsu or Flint, the Sinnoh Regiob will get two spots to qualify.
It seems that since entering the knock-out competition, Natsu's opponent has always been a Sinnoh Region player.
Auditorium.
Ash and Gary have been regulars in the stands.
"Gary, do you think Natsu will succeed this time?" Ash asked.
As for whether Natsu could qualify, they had been in discussion ever since they started paying attention to Natsu.
The so-called discussion was actually what Gary chose, and Ash chose the other side.
"This time. It should hang, player Flint is good at Fire Type, and Natsu currently only uses three Pokémon, Beedrill and Doublade are both controlled by Fire Type, and most importantly, Natsu hasn't appeared Gym Leader level Pokemon yet, but Flint has two ."
Gary's rational analysis.
Makes sense.
In fact, not only him, most people on the field also thought that Flint's chances of winning were greater.
Among them were many spectators from all over Sinnoh.
After all, Flint had gained a lot of fame, and had participated in many competitions big and small. In terms of paper power and Pokémon Attributes, they had more of an advantage, and the chances of winning were indeed greater. .
"Then I will support Natsu."
Ash doesn't care about Gary's analysis and doesn't support it.
And Gary obviously knew Ash's temper all too well, didn't care about his support at all, looked up at Daisy, who was holding her head with her hands by him side.
"Elder sister, what do you think?"
"I?" Daisy is surprised that Gary would ask herself.
In the past, if it was related to Pokémon research, Gary would be happy to find her, but if it was related to Pokémon battles, Gary would never find her.
But now, Gary is asking for her opinion rationally.
"Elder sister, aren't you very familiar with Natsu? You should know him better, does he have any other cards?
And sister, you're in the top 32, you've also studied Chansey's tactics closely, and it's almost like there's no solution. If you can figure out such tactics, big sister, you must have learned a lot in this area, right? It has to be very insightful."
Gary has seen many changes in Daisy since Chansey's tactics were used.
Speaking of Chansey's tactics, Daisy blushed a little.
But that leaves the answer unquestionable.
"Natsu."
"en?" Gary wanted to hear a "professional" analysis, but didn't expect Daisy to answer so quickly.
"What is the reason?"
Looking at the curious little brother beside her, Daisy rubbed her head a little affectionately, and said softly:
"Because of that tactic. Natsu taught me."
heard this.
Gary was completely taken aback.
Even Professor Oak, who was smiling in the arena and listening to their jokes, looked to the side.
That tactic was developed by Natsu?
How shady this person is. Bah, how well does he know a Pokemon like Chansey?
Chansey isn't his Pokémon, and he can play around with tactics like that, so it's not his main Pokémon
...
In a private room at the top of the Lily of the Valley arena.
"Hehe—how about the old man start the bet?" Ryuichi said with a smile.
Obviously, the Elites who were watching the match for a day were also a little bored.
"What are you betting on?" Agatha who was sitting in the corner became interested.
"A trivial matter."
"Okay."
Wheel-
Agatha immediately took out several stones of different colors from her pocket.
Evolution Stone!
And they are all Top-level quality evolution stones, three, namely Firestone, Waterstone and Thunderstone.
"I want your Dusk Stone."
"This" Hoshino Ryuichi was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Agatha to be so straightforward.
"Three Top-level Quality Evolution Stones, it wouldn't be a loss for you to exchange for a Peak-level Quality Dusk Stone, right?"
In terms of value alone, it's even more so.
It's just that evolution stones have reached Top level quality or even higher, and are usually not a simple measure of price.
Agatha This is definitely a big game.
Peak level quality evolution stone, if it is really needed, the price of tens of millions is easy to get, the difference is only tens of millions.
Ryuichi just wanted to have a little fun, how could he know that Agatha came to play so big.
Even though this Peak-level quality Dusk Stone was of no use to him, it was a Peak-level quality evolution stone after all.
"If that's the case, let me play too." Drake smiled and took out a piece of Dragon Scale.
The Dragon's scale is quite small compared to Agatha's hand.
Bertha and Drasna both shook their heads and were not very interested.
Alder, who was sitting lazily in his chair, suddenly became interested.
"Then I'll make this."
What Alder took out was a fiery red orb, which seemed to be burning with fire.
Fire orb.
Alder's actions shocked the other Elites in the private room.
Alder looked at Natsu and Flint, especially Flint, who was already standing on both sides of the field by now.
From Flint's body, he could faintly see a small reflection of himself.
The way passion is burning.
"Okay, I don't know who you will choose?" Ryuichi, as the Elite Four, except that Agatha's "generosity" made her feel a little complicated, Drake and Alder just splashed water.
"Flint." Alder chose Flint without the slightest hesitation.
"Then I will choose Natsu." Drake said with a smile.
Like Bertha, Drake had a slight impression of Natsu during the last trial, and some of these battles weren't particularly stressful for Natsu, so he felt that Natsu still had something to hide.
Besides, it's just for fun.
Ryuichi looked at Agatha.
Agatha didn't answer right away, just looked at Bertha and Drasna, "If you don't play, you can guess."
Bertha and Drasna looked at each other and felt Agatha was right.
"Flint." Bertha pondered for a moment before choosing.
As for Natsu and Flint, Bertha still knew Flint, a little more.
"If that's the case, then I'll choose Natsu." Drasna said without thinking with a smile.
Obviously, she chose this just for balance.
It's two o'clock now.
"haha." Agatha chuckled softly, "I chose Natsu."
She has had three contacts with Natsu, and she should be the one who knows Natsu the most here. , if she didn't believe that Natsu had such abilities, she wouldn't have looked for Natsu for this mission.
It's no surprise that Agatha chose Natsu.
Moreover.
Natsu is also a person from Kanto, although this time representing Sinnoh, that doesn't mean Kanto will completely give up the person.
If the opportunity arose, she believed the Kanto Alliance would still be willing to let Natsu return to Kanto for deployment.
Ryuichi didn't say anything after hearing Agatha chose Natsu.
If Agatha chose Flint, Ryuichi might not agree with Agatha's bet.
Now, it is understandable that Agatha took more risks, and therefore more rewards.
Don't doubt that Ryuichi will turn his face away to refuse the bet. With his character, he could actually do such a thing.
As for Ryuichi, Agatha thought she could see clearly, and of course she knew what he was thinking.
He sneered and said nothing.
In this way, due to Ryuichi's opening, the six Elites in the private room paid more attention to the game between Natsu and Flint.
