Chapter 695 The charging pig
What domineering words!
The foreign trainers looked at each other.
Most of the arena trainers were filled with indignation and felt that they had been greatly insulted. Only a handful of people were thinking about what Kashiwagi said.
Silver Horse's expression was anxious. He never wanted to see the people in the arena having a fight with Kashiwagi and ending up unhappy.
For whatever reason.
However, Ginzaru, who should have stood up to mediate, chose to watch on the sidelines, as if he was not the boss of the arena trainers.
Otsuka and others looked joking. Once upon a time, they were not even worthy of being looked at by the people in front of them, but now the status of both parties has been reversed. The Rainbow Team is a semi-administrative agency of Huangtie Town, and the Arena...
At most, it is a club that provides a venue for people to play against.
certainly.
What they were mocking was not the status gap, but that the people in the arena were obviously better than each other, and the opportunity to become stronger without paying any price was right in front of them, but they didn't know how to correct their attitudes.
Is this enough to be a person from Huangtie Town?
If they hadn't been unwilling to contradict Kashiwagi in public, they would have persuaded their boss to return to Team Rainbow's territory. Instead of teaching these musicians, it would be better to teach the little Doudin who also wanted to breed Pokémon.
Ayana silently reviewed the content of the three battles, feeling happy because she saw a vast world, and her mind frantically absorbed all the knowledge that could make her stronger.
In the battle field.
Kendall was filled with emotions. He looked across from him at Kashiwagi who was calm and confident with a slight smile on his lips. The anger that had surged up after breaking his guard had all dissipated with the catharsis just now.
What replaced it was confusion.
That declaration of breaking the defense was ostensibly aimed at the boss of the Rainbow Team, but in fact it was secretly questioning Ginzaru, who had only been on the sidelines from the beginning to the end.
Everyone has gone through so many ups and downs along the way.
So many brothers followed him unswervingly even if the situation in Huang Tiezhen changed, but in the end they were casually handed over to outsiders to manage them!
Teach them to fight?
Clearly we need to give them multiple bosses!
At this point, Kendall couldn't bear it anymore. It was his creed in life to obey the boss's orders, and he even took the initiative to greet Kashiwagi and show his power.
But winning is not the end, he just tried every means to belittle him.
persist in?
Can you win if you persist?
Kendall remembered very clearly that when the Rainbow Team boss fought against Shanmin, Dora persisted in evolving and still lost to the telekinetic puppet.
The ending is not the slightest bit different.
What's the point of persisting like this?
Do you believe in Pokémon? The leader of the battle is the trainer! Standing in the third perspective, they can make more calm and correct judgments!
"..."
Kendall opened his mouth and tried to refute Kashiwagi's point of view, but for some reason no sound came out.
His eyes fell on the fact that most of his body was submerged in the sand, and only half of his thick tusks were left. But even so, he was still staring at the ivory pig in the sky that was biting the land shark fiercely.
Kendall, who was familiar with it, knew that the ivory pig was waiting for his orders.
Without his own orders, this guy would never overstep his authority and launch any attack, even if he was about to be swallowed by quicksand.
Why?
He suddenly realized that he didn't understand the ivory pig at all.
Without instructions for such a long time, it was impossible for the ivory pig who was also familiar with him not to know that he had given up.
Mingming was buried soon, but he was not afraid at all.
Think you won’t die?
No.
wrong.
Kendall knew that the ivory pig was not that smart. This stupid guy would just smile at him and run rampant in the direction he pointed...
He suddenly froze, and a memory from a long time ago appeared in his mind.
At that time, he was not the second-in-command of Huangtie Arena, but just an ordinary member of a gangster group in Huangtie Town. He was valued by the boss at the time for his courage in fighting.
However, the gangster group did not exist for long. They made too many enemies and were quickly surrounded and suppressed by other gangster groups.
The boss dies quickly and the remaining members either escape or are killed.
At that time, he was still a young man who resisted stubbornly. He was surrounded by a group of people and their Pokémon in a corner. His body was covered with scars and he was only one step away from death.
How did you survive then?
Kneel down and beg for mercy?
Got let go?
neither.
It was the sudden outburst of the long-haired pig who was seriously injured and should have fainted, allowing them to successfully escape from the encirclement and be discovered by the silver monkey boss, who was appreciated for their tenacity.
The scars left by that battle on the long-haired pig have not been eliminated even after evolution.
On its back, there is still a long mark made by the flying mantis that cannot grow hair.
Just because he was about to despair, he gritted his teeth and shouted -
"Long-haired pig! Charge forward!"
At that time, he did not give up or admit defeat. He was just one step away from death and chose to believe in the long-haired pig, a partner who had never let him down.
He was looking forward to it very much.
The long-haired pigs who are good at running amok can also use their bravery to carve a way out for them as they did in the past.
In the end, the long-haired pig did not disappoint him. It even won them a broader future, and their destiny began to change from that day.
He slowly grew up, acquired more and more Pokémon, and gradually became the second-in-command in the arena.
he's changed.
He became less impulsive and became more versatile, hiding all his sharp edges.
But the ivory pig has not changed.
From the beginning to the end, it was the stupid Pokémon that was waiting for his orders, waiting for it to run rampant, no matter where it was, no matter what its situation was.
That's right.
The current situation is just an ordinary battle, which cannot be compared with the life and death crisis in the past.
He was standing in a safe enough place, and the half-buried ivory pig seemed dangerous, but as long as the game was over, he could use the Poké Ball to rescue it.
There is no point in persisting.
There won't be any change in the ending. He is too far behind Kashiwagi...
What's the difference?
Kendall suddenly thought of this. Even though Kashiwagi had far more battle experience and a broader vision than him, how much could a Pokémon that had been used for fifteen minutes take advantage of these advantages?
Is the move of biting a land shark incredible?
Is it completely beyond his imagination?
not at all.
The bottom line is that he thought he was inferior to Kashiwagi from the beginning. He was completely defeated in the first two games and his self-confidence made him feel when he saw the biting land shark gradually suppressing the ivory pig:
"Ah! That's true! There's no chance of winning!"
It turns out that I lost so early.
It turns out that I have been holding back the ivory pig.
Kendall had a bitter expression, feeling ashamed as he looked at the energetic biting land shark in the wind and sand, and the extremely angry but powerless ivory pig in the sand.
But at the same time, a crazy idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
We are going to lose anyway, so why not give it a try?
You won’t die anyway, so why not give it a try?
yes.
If you lose, you won't lose anything, but if you win, you can confidently accuse Kashiwagi of being too arrogant, and let Ginzaru know that not just anyone can take over the arena, and that-
Maybe it can, so as not to disappoint the ivory pig who has persisted until now and still hasn’t given up.
The first two thoughts disappeared, and finally this thought gradually took root. In the past, Kendall never cared about winning or losing in an ordinary battle.
Today, Kendall feels that he should at least stop holding back the ivory pig.
Just like the ivory pig has never hindered itself!
With a solemn expression on his face, he rushed into the field in the face of the manic wind and sand, and approached the sand pit in front of the shocked eyes of many people.
He is not looking for death.
He was worried that the ivory pig, which was gradually buried in the gravel, would not be able to hear his voice.
"Brother Kendall! What's wrong with you?"
"Stop it, brother Kendall!"
The arena trainers were in an uproar. They didn't know what Kendall was planning to do, but everyone knew how dangerous the Pokémon in the battle were.
Some people wanted to stop him, while others shouted to Kashiwagi that the game was over and he must not give any more orders.
But the next moment.
The sudden roar overwhelmed all sounds.
"Ivory pig! Can you hear me? Charge forward! Use your charge to crush everything in front of you like before!!"
The trainers in the arena stared with wide eyes at Kendall, who was lying next to the huge sand pit and roaring hysterically at the bottom regardless of his face.
Different from the previous anger and resentment, Kendall's voice now was full of expectation and urgency.
Otsuka and others were confused, Ginma and Ginzaru were stunned, and Ayana was stunned.
The foreign trainers showed expressions of surprise and excitement out of place, looking with great anticipation at the ivory pig that had half of its head outside in the sand pit but suddenly began to tremble violently.
Kashiwagi laughed heartily.
"That's right! That's right! That's it! Kendall! Let me see your potential as a trainer! Shout out! Shout out! Let the Pokémon hear your voice!"
boom!
Countless gravel rose into the sky amid the terrifying explosion, and a towering and huge shadow suddenly emerged from the sand pit. Only when everyone looked carefully did they realize that it was a tall rocky mountain peak.
"Moo!!"
The ivory pig howled and charged all the way up from the bottom of the mountain, and did not stop until it reached the top of the mountain. It looked at the biting land shark with red eyes, and its whole body was filled with amazing momentum!
Then the mountain collapsed and turned into gravel.
But the ivory pig also used this to escape from the huge sand pit that it had sunk into, and stood next to Kendall and rubbed the ground with its thick front legs.
"Moo——"
"Rock climbing?"
Kashiwagi could tell the name of the move at a glance. After all, it had once defeated Xiaozhi's Turtle in every battle.
Just learned it? Did you know it before?
Whatever happens is fine.
Although it is unclear what kind of psychological struggle Kendall fought, his goal has been achieved, and a qualified trainer will be born!
He also stepped into the field, narrowed the distance between himself and the Biting Land Shark, raised his head and said to it: "You've been waiting for a long time, are you unhappy playing guerrilla all the time? Now let us decide the outcome! Use what you are best at Moves——"
The smile on his face suddenly faded, and he waved his right hand down suddenly: "Dragon's Dive!"
"Kapor!"
Liebite Land Shark roared excitedly, its whole body ignited with blue flames, and a terrifying evil aura was released towards Ivory Pig and Kendall!
Kendall, whose heart was trembling, gritted his teeth, but did not take a step back. He pointed at the land shark biting the land shark as if he had returned to the time when there was no retreat, and pointed at their only "way to survive":
"Sacrifice yourself—collision!!"
"Moo-!!"
The ivory pig raised its front hooves high, its eyes filled with excitement and determination.
Finally, I can hear the trainer's instructions from such a close place again.
Once again, fighting side by side!
Behind it is a trainer, and the trainer guides it in the direction of charge, even if there is a hard glacier in front of it.
I also want to smash it to show the trainer!
An unprecedented bright white light suddenly flashed, and everyone looking into the field unconsciously turned their heads or blocked their sights. By the time they got used to the strong light, the ivory pig had changed from brown to platinum-like color.
The majestic energy waves continued to spread backwards as it ran, forming a long stream like the tail of a comet!
"Moo!!"
It roared loudly and fearlessly crashed into the biting land shark, which was covered in azure dragon flames and transformed into a roaring energy dragon swooping down!
this moment.
The two are like the fire dragon in myth and the majestic star in the universe, colliding with each other!
boom--! !
Accompanied by a blinding flash of light.
The earth-shaking horrific explosion and the milky white air wave immediately swept away half of the arena, knocking everyone on the outside of the arena into disarray!
The continuously shaking ground is even more terrifying than the previous earthquake!
After they stood firm and looked again, they suddenly saw a small mushroom cloud rising slowly from the battlefield filled with thick smoke.
The surging energy formed mixed flames and spread in the mushroom cloud.
"..."
The trainers in the arena were stunned, the external trainers cheered, and the silver horse frequently rubbed his eyes.
Yin Yuan and Ayana looked at each other with deep expressions.
Only Otsuka and others wanted to say:
That's it? That's it?
It's not as good as an ordinary fight between Kashiwagi and Genji when they were fighting at sea!
The mushroom cloud gradually dissipated, and many arena trainers began to worry about the situation in the arena. No one knew the damage that Pokémon could cause better than the people of Iron Town.
You must know that Kendall and Kashiwagi were both in the field, and they were hit by the aftermath of the collision of Pokémon moves at such a close position...
It turns out.
Their worries are unfounded.
When most of the smoke dissipated, Kendall and Kashiwagi standing on both sides appeared respectively. They stared at the Pokémon in front of them and the Pokémon opposite.
The Ivory Pig and the Biting Land Shark had already moved away from each other at some point. They looked at each other panting, with obvious scars on their bodies and exhaustion on their faces.
Obviously, the hedging just now consumed most of their physical strength, and now it was up to them to see who couldn't hold on and fell down first.
Everyone outside the field also realized this and looked nervously at the opponent's battlefield.
Suddenly.
Lie Jie Lu Shark staggered to his knees and wrinkled his right cheek in pain.
Ginma, who was so nervous that his palms were sweating, opened his eyes wide, and Kashiwagi's previous words suddenly echoed in his ears, causing him to subconsciously shout:
"Stand up! Bite the land shark!"
As a trainer, you should trust your Pokémon the most.
You won't lose if you bite the land shark hard!
Hearing this, Kashiwagi turned around and smiled at him, but said nothing.
Immediately.
The ivory pig opposite was like a toppling mountain. It collapsed with a bang and its limbs were weak, its eyes turned into black mosquito coils.
Liebite Land Shark stood up with a ferocious face and shouted excitedly: "Kapor!!"
"Won!"
Silver Horse raised his hands in the air and cheered excitedly.
The foreign trainers also cheered, laughed and clapped.
Many arena trainers looked like defeated rumble pheasants, with expressions of decadence and loss. Some arena trainers looked thoughtfully at Kashiwagi who walked up to Biting Land Shark and praised him.
Inside the venue.
Kashiwagi smiled and patted Lu Shark's back fiercely, and the latter bumped his cheek with his head with a smile on his face. Although there was a long pause in the middle, it was fighting happily.
"Next time I let my Pokémon fight you, remember to use all your strength like this time!"
"Kapor!"
Liebite Lu Shark nodded.
Kashiwagi retracted his gaze and walked towards Kendall who was standing next to the ivory pig. After he got closer, he said, "Please don't pay too much attention to my previous lectures, Mr. Kendall. In fact, I have always thought that you are a very potential trainer. Like your Pokémon."
"No, what you said is absolutely correct. I was just angry because my roots were exposed. I was too embarrassed to recognize my position at this time. It was obvious that the ivory pig had been waiting for me, but I didn't respond until the end. Got it."
Kendall shook his head, gently stroked the long hairless marks on the ivory pig's back, and said: "This guy is very stupid, so stupid that he can only charge recklessly, but this idiot has once - no, countless times saved me.
"In the past, for the sake of money and status, I ignored my feelings for it, as if it were a matter of course. It was not until this six months of experience that I gradually understood many things that I had not understood before, but I still let go of the past. "
"Moo~"
The ivory pig suddenly stood up and rubbed Kendall's thigh with the roots of its teeth. Its white eyes with black pupils were full of dependence on Kendall.
"Have a good rest, I'm sorry for the ivory pig, next time we will definitely——"
Kendall froze as he spoke.
He rushed into the field and called the ivory pig with the mentality of breaking a can, wanting to be wild for it, but what he just said made him suddenly realize.
He actually wanted to win, and he rushed in with the mentality of turning defeat into victory.
Kashiwagi stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Let's fight again next time! A fight with the goal of winning!"
"……good."
Kendall smiled happily, with a bit of open-mindedness on his face. He stretched out his hand to shake Kashiwagi's hand, then bowed at a 90-degree angle and shouted: "Boss Kashiwagi was so disrespectful just now! I'm extremely sorry! Please be magnanimous! Forgive me for this." Once! Please also show mercy and teach us the knowledge of fighting from the outside world!"
The words were quite sincere.
If Ole hadn't had the tradition of sitting down, he would have been lying on the ground.
Kashiwagi looked at Kendall, who had his head deeply buried in apology in front of him. He was about to say something when many arena trainers came one after another not far away. They also bowed at 90 degrees and apologized before asking for his guidance.
Surrounded, he glanced at everyone and reached out to help Kendall up.
"Don't worry, that's why I'm here. I also accept your apology. Let's work hard together! Let's challenge other arenas and Battle Mountain together in the future!"
"Oh oh oh!"
Otsuka and others hurriedly stepped forward, unwilling to miss their boss's mobilization.
Ginzaru looked at his former subordinates, a look of relief flashed across his face that had been silent until now.
The remaining about a dozen arena trainers who had not moved had complicated expressions, ranging from struggle to stubborn persistence, and turned their heads to the side as if they did not see it.
The foreign trainers looked at the people who were bending over and couldn't help but nod in approval.
Kendall straightened up, his face calm.
He completely let go of his ridiculous reputation as the second-in-command in the arena and decided to move forward to a brighter future, regardless of the ridicule of others.
That kind of thing doesn't matter anymore.
The arena has long existed in name only. How many people in Huangtie Town will praise him as much as before?
Kendall smiled self-deprecatingly and walked out of the venue to get a towel to wipe away the sweat and dust.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to walk to the rest area, the foreign trainers took the initiative to greet him, showing a friendly smile and saying: "Hello Mr. Kendall, let me introduce you, I am from the Shenoh Yuanshan Consortium... "
"I am from United Williams Group..."
"Kandu Chunshan Society..."
Kendall was stunned when several people announced their homes.
He knew that these companies were the overseas companies that had provided the most support to Huangtie Town recently. He did not expect that these people who often came to rent venues to compete and seldom communicated with the arena trainers were actually the management of these companies!
What a big deal!
"It was quite an exciting battle, Mr. Kendall. Just like Mr. Kashiwagi said, you are a very good trainer! I never thought that I could meet a trainer like you as far away as Ole!"
They didn't hesitate to praise.
Kendall pointed at himself, "Me? Excellent? But I didn't win a single game."
"The outcome of winning or losing is not the key, but the fact that you want to win and run into the field to call the Pokémon's heart. Although that is considered a violation, I have to say it is really touching."
"Yes, yes, there aren't many people out there who are willing to do this for victory and Pokémon!"
"With people like you, I believe the arena will become very prosperous in the future! I will recommend this place to others!"
"What a great idea! Let's hold a cocktail party when the next group of people from the company arrive? Let's make an appointment here together, ah! Mr. Kendall, please be sure to come too..."
Foreign trainers talk to each other.
Kendall's lips quivered, not knowing what to say.
When he refused the arrangement to save the organization just to save his own face, his face had actually been completely lost.
But when he put aside his remaining dignity and bowed his head to a young man for advice, these outsiders, who had once seemed to others to be extremely arrogant and incompatible with everyone, rushed to surround him.
How ironic.
Kendall couldn't help but look at Kashiwagi in the distance and found that the other person was speaking seriously to the people around him. Then he looked at his boss Yin Yuan. The latter felt his gaze and nodded slightly in affirmation.
I see.
A brand new arena?
