Chapter 980: Lei Ou's First Battle

"Player Lei Ou! Player Lei Ou!"

Before the entrance tunnel.

Lei Ou was blocked by groups of reporters, who scrambled to hand out microphones, stating questions.

"Is it true that you once defeated the Cipher leader Evice single-handedly?"

"What was your original intention for participating in the tournament?"

"What is your goal?"

"Some say you once won 100 consecutive victories at Battle Mountain, also defeated Master Battlers, and obtained the Battle Master title?"

Many questions squeezed into Lei Ou's ears.

He looked at the reporter calmly, grabbed one of the microphones, and smiled: "You ask me my original intention for participating in the tournament?"

The person chosen nodded excitedly, "Yes!"

"My girlfriend thinks the champion is handsome, so I came."

Lei Ou laughed, threw away the microphone, pushed through the crowd, and strode forward.

Leaving behind the reporters looking at each other.

In fact.

Lei Ou wasn't lying; he just hid part of the truth.

After bringing Evice to justice, the International Police and the rescue organization took the initiative to find him and invite him to join.

Lei Ou happened not to know what to do in the future, so he agreed.

Counting the time.

It's been almost eight years.

He began to be confused about whether to continue his work as an International Police officer, and just then the Orre League tournament was about to be held.

Lei Ou decided to give himself another choice.

Miror B. also supported his decision; the two had been together day and night for these years, and had long since fallen in love.

From the final vow, there was only a small opportunity left.

So.

He definitely wouldn't lose this match!

"I'm counting on you, friend."

Lei Ou held an Ultra Ball, and even through the gloves and the ball wall, he could still feel the terrifying heat.

He passed through the long corridor and stepped into this super-large arena that could accommodate 50,000 people.

In an instant.

The sky-high shouts squeezed into his ears, and faces excited to the extreme were full of expectation, making people unconsciously integrate into it and become blood-boiling.

Lei Ou saw his opponent—

All Baimu.

A man known as the 【King of Kings】.

When he first heard this nickname, he actually felt it was a bit funny.

But now, he increasingly felt that the title was extremely fitting for the other party.

One man guards the pass, ten thousand men cannot open it.

All Baimu really had this confidence and strength.

"Haha."

Lei Ou closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if returning to the days when he rebelled against Team Snagem and confronted Cipher head-on.

That restlessness from the depths of his heart.

Long time no see.

He turned his head to look at where his girlfriend Miror B. was.

Unexpectedly, everyone from Agate Village also came, including the old village chief and the others, holding flags with cheering written on them.

Lei Ou felt warm and waved to respond with a smile.

At this time.

A voice echoed over the arena.

"Welcome to the Orre League tournament final tournament scene! I am the commentator for this match—"

Wow!

The shouts in the auditorium suddenly rose by eight degrees, showing everyone's enthusiasm.

Lei Ou walked to the Trainer's seat and looked at All Baimu from a distance.

Final tournament.

Starting from the top eight, there are three rounds and seven matches in total, and the format is a 6v6 full battle elimination tournament.

When one side's six Pokémon are all unable to battle, they are defeated.

Compared to the short, flat, and fast 3v3, the 6v6 schedule is longer and more malleable, so it is deeply loved by the vast number of battle fans.

To reflect the urgency of the competition, the Orre League canceled the halftime break, but retained the rule of changing the arena when one side has three Pokémon defeated.

And.

The arena changed from water, grass, rock, and ice to four types: grassland, forest, wasteland, and marsh.

There is no doubt that it absorbed the experience from the Lumiose Conference.

Shan Ren had no other purpose, just wanting to maximize the gimmick.

Small Porygon manned flight vehicles entered the field, and the internationally renowned referee invited with heavy money raised both hands.

"What is about to be carried out is the Orre League tournament quarter-finals, the battle arena is—Wasteland Arena!"

Rumble!

The ground trembled.

A simple arena surrounded by small hills and dirt roads was presented to the audience.

"The number of Pokémon that can be used in battle is six, and you can swap freely during the period. When one side has three Pokémon unable to battle, the arena is changed."

The referee's professional words were transmitted to the ears of the two, and he suddenly raised his voice: "Please show your Pokémon!"

Two Poké Balls flew out.

Bang bang!

White light fell into the arena.

On one side was a huge brown bear standing upright, and on the other side was a red and blue toy duck.

Ursaring vs. Porygon2!

A duel of Normal types!

And with the Porygon phone selling out, Porygon was no longer an unpopular Pokémon.

Many of the spectators watching in the main venue were recording the match through Porygon phones.

At this time.

They found that their Porygon phones seemed very happy.

"Porygon2, huh."

Lei Ou was clear about the power this Pokémon possessed, and could almost guess the tactics the other party intended to use.

But he didn't intend to swap the Pokémon in his hand so quickly.

After the referee confirmed it was correct, he waved his hand abruptly: "Battle start!"

Beep—

In an instant.

"Bulk Up!"

"Conversion."

Both sides gave orders at the same time.

Ursaring roared, and faint red smoke emerged from its body, followed by orange-red air waves symbolizing state improvement rolling.

Not far away.

Porygon2's appearance changed, turning from a toy duck into a streamlined airplane.

In an instant, it rushed toward Ursaring at a very fast speed.

"Tri Attack!"

Hum!

Three light balls of different colors shone in front of Porygon2, followed by the release of electric, fire, and ice three-color light beams!

Lei Ou shouted: "Dodge! Use Hammer Arm!"

"Guma!"

Ursaring roared and jumped high, thinking it could avoid it, who knew Porygon2 suddenly made an upward angle!

The attack path of the light beam moved upward rapidly!

Bang bang bang!

Three-color light beams all hit!

Porygon2 turned and moved away, no different from a bomber that had finished dropping bombs.

And in the smoke, Ursaring groaned and fell, and just after barely standing firm, it knelt down in pain again.

Actually showing an expression of being hit hard.

The commentator shouted: "Tri Attack hit! Porygon2's appearance change greatly increased its flexibility! What a magical Pokémon!"

Lei Ou still maintained composure.

He was clear about the durability of his own Ursaring, and the latter definitely wouldn't fall just like that.

However...

Sure enough, it changed its fighting style.

As early as the previous matches, Lei Ou discovered that compared to some matches in the past, All Baimu's aggressiveness in the Orre tournament was stronger.

Why would this be?

Lei Ou didn't understand, and was too lazy to investigate the reason behind it; he only knew that his side's fault tolerance would be greatly reduced.

"Rock Slide!"

"Guma!"

Ursaring smashed its claws on the ground, the ground shattered and shook up giant rocks, whistling toward Porygon2!

However.

The flexibility of the other party completely exceeded his expectations.

All kinds of strange flight postures were displayed one by one.

Porygon2's body was surrounded by translucent colorful light waves, hard-hittingly avoiding all giant rocks, and approached from a high place again.

It's coming!

Lei Ou's eyes condensed.

"Hammer Arm! Meet it!"

"Guma!"

Ursaring roared and jumped, swinging its bear paw illuminated by brown-red light toward Porygon2.

And welcoming it was a thick black-purple beam of light!

"Hyper Beam."

Boom—!!

The terrifying destructive beam swallowed Ursaring, and the latter had almost no room to fight back, falling from the sky again!

The dirt ground shook and cracked wildly, and the air throbbed constantly with the overflowing energy!

Finally.

The billowing smoke flew in the arena, and everything around was silent.

The commentator shouted: "What a fierce Hyper Beam! Can Ursaring hold on!?"

The answer is—it can't hold on.

When the dust cleared, Ursaring lay on its back in the shattered shallow pit, its eyes replaced by black spirals.

Lei Ou spat out a mouthful of turbid air.

"Ursaring is unable to battle! Porygon2 wins!"

Beep.

Ursaring's avatar on the big screen turned gray.

Wow!

Applause filled the hall!

Less than three minutes into the match, All Baimu successfully took down the first Pokémon!

What an excellent performance!

"You've worked hard, Ursaring, rest assured."

Lei Ou recalled Ursaring into its ball, seeing All Baimu on the opposite side also recalling Porygon2, which had fallen into stiffness.

He increasingly realized the other party's strength.

Since that's the case.

"Go! Scizor!"

Bang!

Light landed and turned into a humanoid mantis with red armor and giant pincers.

"Hasha!"

At the same time, the Galarian Corsola that looked like a round stone was swapped in on the opposite side.

"Galarian Corsola, huh... Bullet Punch!"

Lei Ou gave the order without hesitation.

Scizor flew toward Corsola quickly, its right fist flashing with metallic luster.

With the blessing of priority moves, its speed was quite astonishing.

All Baimu said: "Imprison."

"Sang."

Corsola's eyes lit up with blue light, letting Scizor's pincers fall.

Bang!

The tiny body weighing less than one kilogram was knocked flying on the spot, and the colorful light waves that appeared on Porygon2's body appeared again.

The commentator shouted: "It's Reflect! The Reflect used by Porygon2 reduced the force of Bullet Punch for Corsola!"

Imprison was successfully used, Scizor was wrapped in blue light, Bullet Punch was tragically sealed, and it couldn't move at the same time.

All Baimu continued: "Will-O-Wisp."

"Sang"

Corsola's smoke-like tentacles swayed, and wisps of ghostly purple flames appeared out of thin air, circling and flying toward Scizor.

Lei Ou shouted: "Use wings to break free! Air Cutter to cut the Will-O-Wisp!"

He very wisely didn't let Scizor completely break free from the shackles of Imprison, but let it break free from its wings first.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The wind whistled!

Wind blades cut the incoming Will-O-Wisp into pieces under the high-frequency flapping of Scizor's wings.

With this opportunity, it also successfully broke free from the shackles.

"Scizor is not working."

Lei Ou realized that Corsola was a Pokémon specifically arranged by All Baimu to deal with Scizor.

He hurriedly said: "Baton Pass!"

To prevent Corsola from using some kind of move that restricts leaving the field, he simply gave up using the ball to swap.

It had to be said.

Lei Ou's approach was very wise, but it was still seen through by All Baimu.

When Scizor's head lit up with the phantom of Baton Pass, before it left the field, Corsola rolled closer and poked out fluorescent green tentacles.

It took a fierce sip.

"Sang~"

The damage brought by Bullet Punch was recovered.

Lei Ou held the Poké Ball, and after a short hesitation, threw it forward quickly.

Bang!

White light flashed.

One of his initial Pokémon, Umbreon, landed.

Choosing it was not only because of type restraint, but also because of its outstanding double defense and recovery moves.

The fault tolerance was improved compared to the previous two Pokémon.

"Stealth Rock."

"Confuse Ray!"

Both sides gave orders backward.

Corsola's candle-like eyes shone, and sharp floating rocks rose from the sandy ground around it, and soon disappeared.

"Bula!"

Umbreon howled and looked up, and the golden ring between its forehead released shining light!

Hum!

Many spectators were caught off guard and were dazzled by this sudden strong light.

When the light dimmed.

They looked into the arena and saw All Baimu take out a ball and swap the swaying Corsola out.

"Player All Baimu also chose to swap again! What an intense confrontation!"

The commentator shouted.

Swapping doesn't come without a price.

As long as the opponent grasps the timing well, they can completely launch an attack when the new Pokémon appears.

Thereby occupying a certain advantage.

And for the swapping side, how to choose the landing point of the Pokémon is very important to avoid falling into a disadvantage immediately after swapping.

Lei Ou waited for All Baimu's choice of position—

Front?

He was surprised to find that All Baimu threw the ball directly to the position where Corsola left the field.

Bang!

The airplane-shaped Porygon2 entered the field.

"Confuse Ray!"

Might as well use it!

Umbreon's brow center shone with dazzling strange light again!

Hum!

Strong light flashed.

Lei Ou looked at the opposite side expectantly, but found that a light blue wall appeared in front of Porygon2.

And Umbreon, as the releasing side, was swaying its body at this moment.

As if it had entered a confused state.

Lei Ou's pupils dilated.

"It's Magic Coat! Porygon2 used Magic Coat after entering the field! What a fast reaction!"

The commentator gave the answer.

The audience gasped, just because 【Magic Coat】 is a move that needs to be completed one step ahead to take effect.

This also means that All Baimu not only guessed Lei Ou's intention, but Porygon2's speed was also fast enough to allow it to use the move in a very short time!

Even if this was just a defensive move, it was enough to shock people!

All Baimu continued: "Hyper Beam!"

"Pali!"

Porygon2 flew toward the confused Umbreon and blasted a huge black-purple beam at it without saying a word!

Lei Ou shouted: "Protect!"

"Bula!"

Umbreon endured the discomfort in its head and propped up a fluorescent blue spherical light shield in the Trainer's call.

Boom—!!

The beam hit the light shield, and the latter shook wildly, as if it could shatter at any time.

But fortunately.

It didn't shatter.

Lei Ou breathed a sigh of relief and didn't dare to have any hesitation, swapping Umbreon out of the arena.

At this time.

His expression was a bit gloomy.

Just because from the beginning of this match to now, he was pulled by All Baimu the whole time, without any room for counterattack.

Swapping the Pokémon in his hand constantly, like a marionette.

How could he win like this!

Lei Ou knew he had to think of some way.

"... I'm counting on you! Scizor!"

Bang!

Scizor entered the field for the second time.

Stealth Rock emerged from the air and exploded around it!

Bang bang!

Smoke rolled. ===== CHAPTER 981 =====
