Rope looked at Nozomi in front of him, with stubbornness depicted in her eyebrows. a look of appreciation appeared in her eyes.
Rope had never put himself in the position of being a peer with these players. He had always looked at them as seniors.
After all, the difference in strength was too great, and the difference in level of socialization was too great, it was hard for people to truly put them on par with themselves.
So facing Rope. how do you want to show what you are different from others in order to be looked at differently by Rope.
The biggest fear of young trainers is not the lack of power status. Rather, it is the lack of characteristics. A trainer who is uniform will never be the trainer who becomes outstanding. Every top trainer must have maximized their strengths and tried their best to compensate for their weaknesses.
"Chimchar, over to you."
Rope still had no intention of commanding Chimchar the entire time. After all, the Aggron in front of her looked like just a normal Aggron.
What he himself had to do was just to give crucial commands at crucial times.
Chimchar looked at the boskos in front of him much more. With an arrow step, he charged forward.
A small figure and great speed. It complemented each other just right, almost cutting through the stubble as it sprinted.
"Aggron! Rock Tomb!"
Nozomi calmly gave her command to Aggron.
Aggron, roared angrily. Then he raised his hands high, and rock-based energy surged out of his hands. Several huge rocks appeared in the sky, and Aggron swung his claws downward. Aggron swung his claws downwards, and the huge rocks fell towards Chimchar, who was able to get away from the Rock Tomb by dodging left and right.
But just when he dodged, Aggron had already run forward at a fast pace. Rope looked at the silver light that appeared on Aggron's body and sighed. A dark sigh.
[It is actually Autotomize, carelessness].
Aggron didn't make a loud noise this time. After using Autotomize, Aggron's weight had dropped to a very low state.
So he was now able to jump up easily. Then he stretched out his claws and slashed downwards. Aggron's claws were different from Tyranitar claws, Aggron's claws were stronger and longer.
So this metal claw if it was really hit. I'm afraid that I will have to pay a terrible price.
"Chimchar, avoid." Rope calmly gave the order.
This move looked like a forceful slash. But it was actually not easy to dodge.
Or if it was a different Pokémon, an ordinary level. After being blocked by Rock Tomb. Immediately followed by this move of metal claws falling from the sky. It's definitely enough for him to drink a pot of water.
And in mid-air, Aggron had already deactivated his lightweight body. The body weighing 360kg fell violently downwards. The power of the metal claw was once again enhanced.
Aggron's set of movements were done in a smooth and flowing manner, and it was obvious that she hadn't neglected exercising in her spare time. It had to be said that the young girl in front of her. She was really very talented in the construction of various small combos.
Although Rope didn't really like this kind of qualitative moves, Rope himself preferred to improvise in battle.
But he wouldn't deny it either. This young girl in front of him, her approach was also very concise and effective.
This kind of fixed-style combo would seem to have some disadvantages.
But in reality, it was all more than enough when facing an ordinary opponent.
Chimchar saw that Aggron was charging towards him with the momentum of a meteor falling to the ground. He also reacted immediately, and then prepared to dodge the move.
But it was also true that this move wasn't that easy to avoid. After all, it was Xue Xi and Aggron who had gone to great lengths to formulate this one skill. If one wanted to break it, it wasn't as simple as just saying 'avoid'.
The power of the metal claw itself was combined with Aggron's weight. This move was so powerful that it was almost unstoppable.
Chimchar jumped back to get himself out of the range of this move as much as possible. Just as Chimchar completed his backward jump, Aggron crashed to the ground, and then there was a rumbling sound.
The huge Aggron violently collided with the ground and stirred up a large amount of dust.
Chimchar was drowned by the smoke and dust and was lost for a moment.
But Rope wasn't too worried. After all, he could sense the location of the two Pokémon in the smoke.
At the same time, he was moved by the destructive power of Aggron's move.
It was indeed very strong. The ground was smashed out into a large crater.
This tournament ground wasn't particularly reinforced though. But because of League's high quality requirements. Even an ordinary ground was still stronger than a normal ground.
Not to mention the ordinary ground in the field.
There was no comparison between the two.
It could also be imagined how powerful this move that could smash a five meter radius hole on this field would be if it was in the wild.
Just as Rope was lamenting, Chimchar jumped out of the smoke.
The fiery red fur on his body had long since turned yellow with a reddish tinge. His entire body was covered and wrapped in dust, with only the flames on his buttocks still roaring, showing good form.
Of course, whether the opponents thought it was a façade or a real thing was up to them.
"Chimchar, counterattack."
Rope's orders were given with increasing brevity. After all, as far as he was concerned, this Aggron1 right now was really a rare real-world opponent for Chimchar.
Rope had a smile on his face. Looking across at Nozomi and Aggron.
Chimchar's eyes glazed over as he listened to Rope's command, pointing his stick in his hand diagonally backward before quickly charging towards Aggron once again.
"Aggron, Take Down."
Rope had just thought that Nozomi's little combo was working well. Nozomi herself, on the other hand, was having a headache, not having any other skills available to her other than this little combo.
The ore that Aggron usually ate was a huge step up. Going back to specializing in Technical Machines was something he really couldn't afford.
So right now, the best option for Aggron might be to go hard against this Chimchar in front of him.
Before charging hard, a silver-colored glow once again surfaced on Aggron's body. The body's lightweight was once again unleashed. Underneath the silver armor, the massive muscle mass fired steeply, sending his body out like a cannonball.
The white light representing the general system energy flashed. Take Down opened.
And at the same time the silver-colored rigid energy disappeared. The body lightens. Close.
The huge weight brought a huge inertia. Aggron slammed towards Chimchar
Rope 'tsked'.
Sometimes mangaka were really hard to deal with.
With this Take Down hit, Chimchar really couldn't fight hard against this Aggron in front of him. Maybe Infernape could, but Chimchar really couldn't.
Avoid it again and again.
According to Rope's thoughts, naturally.
But just as he was about to give the order. Instead, he suddenly realized that Chimchar had no intention of retreating.
[It seems like the little guy has a way to deal with this situation.]
Rope thought. Then without making a sound, he let Chimchar play.
Chimchar, gazing at the Aggron charging towards him in front of him, the sharp crashing horns were intimidating.
But Chimchar felt no fear. He just felt that this big guy was really quite tricky. But it wasn't without a solution.
He jabbed the stick in his hand into the ground. Then proceeded to inject it with flames. The stick then rose against the wind. It rose rapidly, and Chimchar followed suit as he rose into mid-air.
Like a pole vaulting maneuver, Chimchar had avoided the trajectory of AggronTake Down.
"Aggron, Autotomize and Take Down upwards."
It could only be said that Nozomi's command was also very creative.
And Chimchar, who was in mid-air, looked at Aggron, who was stabilizing his body on the ground and preparing to come upwards with a Take Down, and the corner of his mouth cracked into a brilliant arc.
He shrunk the stick in his hand, then raised it high above his head. His powerful lagging ability allowed him to complete this maneuver in the air already in a near-stagnant state. At that very moment, Aggron had finished braking and was ready to jump upwards with silver-colored steel energy surging out of his body.
At that moment, Chimchar's fire energy surged. Almost focusing his whole body's power.
"Woo~~"
Chimchar let out a roar with a few childish childish sounds.
The flame baguette in his hand once again grew longer and thicker, and its The lines were also more clearly displayed. Rotom, who was photographing, was very eagle-eyed and gave a close-up of the stick.
On the stick, two Infernape were depicted facing off against a massive Pokémon with three pairs of black wings and three pairs of legs.
Some who had studied the Sinnoh legend recognized it immediately. It depicted none other than the lord of the inverted world, Riding Ladina.
And those two Infernape. think about it and you'll know that they should be the parents of the Chimchar in front of you.
The image flickered. The subject of the camera is still Chimchar.
Chimchar is holding this long stick. Then it slammed downward.
That metal claw move from Aggron just now had really inspired Chimchar.
The power slash coming from a high place. It was indeed more powerful.
And at that moment, Aggron finished lightening his body. Then with a Take Down, he charged upwards.
Soon after, Chimchar's flaming baguette and Aggron's battering ram collided. The two collided and made a sound of gold and iron striking each other.
But in this situation, the higher Chimchar naturally had the advantage. Swinging the stick with all his might. Hitting Aggron hard towards the ground.
Aggron let out a roar as he felt the tremendous force coming from the stick, as well as the blazing touch.
"Aggron!" As Nozomi watched, Aggron was viciously blasted to the ground. Once again, a gust of smoke was stirred up.
The stick in Chimchar's hand dissipated in the air before landing easily. Looking at the smoke and dust not far away.
Shook his head slightly.
Quite a pity. This sparring match is over again.
In the middle of the day, the smoke dissipated Aggron appeared in the sight of the crowd. Both eyes turned into a swirl, has lost the ability to fight lying on the ground motionless.
The referee glanced at his watch. Confirmed three seconds. Then spoke:
"Aggron is unable to fight. Chimchar wins, the final winner of this match is competitor Rope from Pallet Town!"
And with that Quarterfinal fireworks and salutes went off.
Like a hymn to the birth of a new one of the top four.
Nozomi's lips pursed as she watched the scene in front of her, and the standing and cheering crowd.
She pulled out the Pokéball from her waist then ginger Aggron retrieved it.
"Tough luck, Aggron."
The Pokéball moved as Aggron effectively fainted.
Chimchar's last stick really gathered all the strength of his entire body, so after the referee declared victory, Chimchar also swayed his body and then sat down on the ground.
Chimchar breathed heavily. Recalling the six matches he just had. A satisfied smile on his face.
The sound of footsteps in his ears. As soon as he opened his eyes, Rope's smiling face appeared in front of his eyes.
Rope extends his hand to Chimchar and says, "Good work."
"Woo!"
Chimchar returns a smile and then takes Rope's hand.
Rope pulls Chimchar up off the ground and then retrieves him to rest in the Pokéball.
Then he walks to the center of the field. Ready for the final handshake.
Nozomi didn't forget this courtesy as she slowly stepped forward and shook Rope's hand, saying, "You're really strong, but I won't lose next time."
Rope wore a smile on her face before saying, "You are indeed a very creative player and strong. Very talented. But you don't want to compete with me."
The smile on Rope's face stayed the same, "I'll take your challenge anytime. The day you're truly ready."
This was not said like a peer at all. It was more like a well-read elder.
Perhaps not very experienced. But elder was a given.
Nozomi's emotions were a bit disjointed by his tone. After a long time, she could only nod silently.
——————————
Cynthia looked at Rope with a smile on her face. grinning, she said, "What? I feel that this Indigo Plateau Conference didn't come to a loss, right?"
"That's definitely not a loss!" Rope wore a wide smile on his face, "Looking at how many. Talented players showing up at Kanto, that in itself is a delightful thing. And..."
Rope's tone changed abruptly. From the grand, old wistfulness of the beginning, to the current, bitchy, make-you-hear-you-want-to-punch-me is tone, "Watching them all fall, one by one, in defeat at my hands. This is even more exciting."
Let's just say that abuse has the thrill of abuse. Challenge has the pleasure of challenge.
Cynthia also shook her head helplessly, looking at this childish ghost of her own family. For a while, she didn't know what to say.
"Cynthia, aren't you going to Sinnoh prepare for work?"
Rope asked coldly.
"The next Kanto might be a little dangerous."
Cynthia, with a smile on her face, pinched Rope and then said, "If you say so, can I still go?"
