Elf System: I, the strongest champion of the league

Chapter 688

The originally calm seawater, after being controlled by Hippo King and Laplace, instantly turned into a huge wave and attacked the other side.

The terrifying momentum was enough to destroy the surrounding rock pillars.

Compared with the former Slowpoke, the current Hippo King has made a qualitative leap in the control of superpowers.

In a flash, under Laplace's surprised eyes, the huge wave he controlled was vaguely at a disadvantage.

(The strength has increased so much?!)

Hippo King, who was always observing Laplace, passed his thoughts to Shellder.

The red gem on Hippo King's head suddenly released a beam of energy.

The power gem is a rare rock-type special attack move, which can cause double restraint damage to Laplace.

As the cold air emanated from his mouth, Laplace decisively released the freezing ray to confront the incoming energy beam.

The competition between the two huge waves ended with Hippo King's victory.

However, as a senior, Laplace would not let the Hippo King boast for so long.

"Zizizizi——"

Laplace immediately released 100,000 volts, transformed into a thin and long lightning snake, and quickly approached the Hippo King.

Seeing this scene, the Hippo King's eyes released azure light and emitted materialized mental waves.

"Boom——"

In an instant, the two moves produced a violent explosion, and a thick black fog filled the air.

A hard ice block suddenly penetrated the black fog and attacked the Hippo King at a very fast speed.

As the azure light dissipated, the Hippo King used teleportation to easily avoid the attack of the ice gravel.

(Afraid that someone would argue, I will explain it briefly.

Slowpoke and Shellder can both learn [Teleportation]. As the evolution of both, they can't just forget it, right?)

The Hippo King appeared, and the red gem on his head emitted light again, and a beam of energy was quickly released.

"Puff——"

Laplace saw this and decisively opened his mouth to use the water cannon.

The violent water flow, in a brief confrontation, easily suppressed the damage of the energy beam and hit the body of the Hippopotamus.

As the cold air spread recklessly, Laplace, who was serious, instantly blew up a blizzard of freezing cold.

The surrounding sea water, after being eroded by the cold air, turned into glaciers at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In an instant, the Hippopotamus turned into an ice sculpture, just like the sparring partner not long ago.

"Shua——" X2

The difference is that the Shellder on the head has shell blades extending on both sides.

With a sharp slash, the ice that froze the Hippopotamus was shattered.

"Dai~"

Breaking the remaining ice, this is the Hippopotamus' absolute trust in the Shellder.

Then, the Shellder gradually injected toxins to help the Hippopotamus use tricks, thereby greatly improving its own special attack.

As the red light flashed, Hippo used the Power Gem and fired an energy beam at Laplace.

'I have indeed made a lot of progress~'

Laplace said with emotion.

Symbiotic relationships are almost difficult to accept except for a few Pokémon species.

After all, most people hope to be independent individuals, not [vassals].

Fortunately, Hippo himself gave Shellder all the dignity he deserved.

'But... it's still a little inferior! '

As soon as the voice fell, a biting blizzard suddenly hit, blocking the attack of the energy beam.

"You are fighting quite seriously."

Xiao Chi said helplessly.

"Roar~"

Hearing this, Blood Red Gyarados completely ignored it and enjoyed the time alone with Xiao Chi.

In order to avoid being affected by the battle, Blood Red Gyarados even swam to an island far away from the beach.

Fortunately, Xiao Chi has good eyesight, otherwise he would not be able to see the battle between Hippo and Laplace for a while.

As for Chipi, the referee, in order not to be affected, he hurried to a coconut tree to watch the show.

The next day

As the sea water gradually receded, an ancient arena suddenly appeared.

This is the special arena for the Whirlpool Islands Cup, which has a long history.

There are four large stone pillars, six small floats and one large float on the arena. The competition is divided into two battle venues, one on the water and one underwater.

Only in this way can the command level of the contestants be reflected.

Surrounding the left and right sides of the arena are the audience seats, and there are multiple stone gates in the south, with the largest stone gate in the middle.

"Now we will start the opening ceremony of the Whirlpool Islands Cup!"

As soon as the voice fell, the dense crowd cheered enthusiastically in unison, looking forward to the exciting battle of this competition.

This is a competition held every three years, and it must not be missed.

"Dear audience, please look, these are all people who have passed the preliminaries and aim to become the [Hero of the Sea]!"

The announcer introduced.

The contestants stood in the same canoe and enjoyed the audience'sof their praise.

Of course, a few people will inevitably feel nervous, after all, this is the first time to participate in the competition.

"Since ancient times, the Whirlpool Islands have had their own culture and civilization, worshipping water Pokémon and coexisting with them until now."

"Now this culture has not disappeared, but is continued by the priestess who has guarded the traditional sea since ancient times-Miss Maya."

The announcer introduced.

At the same time, the eyes of everyone present were all focused on the girl with purple hair and a long staff in her hand.

Maya's dress is the common image of a saint, a white long skirt, wrapped in a blue coat.

"The priestess of the sea~"

Xiaozhi said with emotion.

"Wow, so beautiful~"

Xiaoxia covered her face and said with envy.

"What an elegant woman!"

Xiaogang was instantly obsessed, making Zhipi and Togepi in his arms feel embarrassed.

"Pika~"

Sitting alone on the side, Chipi looked at Xiaogang with some disdain.

If it weren't for the official rules of the competition, Chipi would not have sat in the audience.

Although they repeatedly assured, the staff was afraid that Chipi would suddenly burst into electricity and cause the two Pokémon on the battlefield to lose consciousness.

"So that's why, because of the civilization left by Lugia..."

Xiao Chi murmured, and suddenly thought of an interesting thing.

"It's a pity... Lugia is not a water Pokémon~"

As if hearing Xiao Chi's ridicule, a Master Ball in his arms suddenly shook a few times as if in protest.

"Then, please invite the priestess Miss Maya to make a declaration for the conference."

"Everyone, the triennial celebration of water Pokémon, the Whirlpool Islands Cup welcomes you!"

Maya raised her hands and looked at the arrival of everyone with joy.

"People who communicate with water Pokémon and live together with them have been praised as [Heroes of the Sea] since ancient times in the Whirlpool Islands!"

"I believe that the Heroes of the Sea will be blessed by this [Soul of the Sea] and be granted the ability to communicate with all water Pokémon!"

Maya proudly raised the Sea Soul Staff, and the blue gem inlaid on the top instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
