Elf: The Crimson Path of Legend

The first match of the Round of 64.

Crimson vs. Sundae!

In the final match, Dragonair vs. Salamence!

"Salamander, use Dragon Pulse on Dragonair!"

As soon as the battle began, Sundae did not hesitate to give the order to Salamence to attack immediately.

"Roar~!"

However, Salamence ignored Sundae's command and kept its eyes fixed on Dragonair. It was very excited because this guy's strength was very close to its own!

He is an opponent worth fighting with all your might!

"Roar~!!!"

Thinking this, Salamence roared defiantly at Dragonair, then moved its body, its dense Dragon-type power transforming into a terrifying killing intent.

Locking its gaze firmly on Dragonair, it unleashed a Dragon Dive that ripped through the sky, hurtling towards Dragonair!

"Damn it, I still can't get the Salamence to obey..."

Sundae, who was being ignored, sighed in frustration, even though she had prepared herself mentally.

However, seeing that Salamence, although not following her orders, was still attacking Dragonair, made Sundae breathe a sigh of relief.

Although it still doesn't obey commands, with Salamence's formidable strength, it should be able to defeat that Dragonair...

Sundae was naturally very confident in the Salamence that her family had given her as a bodyguard, after all, Salamence was a genuine Champion-level monster!

...

...

"Move at high speed to get out of the way!"

Upon seeing the Salamence attack, Crimson immediately gave the order.

"Gurgle~ Ooh~!"

Hakron immediately moved, leaving a blur as it vanished from its spot, while its speed was increased by two levels!

"Roar~．ˇ!"

Just as Dragonair left, its afterimage was smashed apart by a swooping Salamence. Shaking its head, it realized it hadn't actually hit Dragonair, which annoyed it.

So, when he caught a glimpse of Hakuryu's figure on the other side out of the corner of his eye, he immediately unleashed a Flamethrower!

Bang!

The flames instantly annihilated the figure, but did not burn the Hakuryu; it only found a patch of air.

"Super speed!"

Swoosh~ Swoosh~!

"Ho~?"

As the crimson voice rang out, the Salamence noticed a stream of light surrounding it, trapping it within a circle.

And among these streaks of light were the afterimages left behind by Hakron!

"Roar~!!!"

Seeing this, Salamence raised its claws, gathered its Dragon-type energy on them, and unleashed a Dragon Claw attack towards the Dragonair in the stream of light.

but.

Speed ​​+2, plus the buff of Divine Speed.

The speed of the Dragonair at this moment was far beyond that of the Salamence, so it was no surprise that its dragon claw attack missed.

"Gurgle~ Ooh!"

Dragonair seized the opportunity when Salamence's attack missed, extended its tail from the stream of light, gathered Dragon-type energy, and lashed Salamence's head with a Dragon Tail!

"Roar!!!"

The Salamence, enraged by its failed attack and instead having its tail whipped off, raised its claws and lashed out at the Dragonite's tail.

However, it failed again.

Meanwhile, Dragonair unleashed another tail strike from another direction, lashing Salamence's head hard.

"Salamander, watch out! Get out of there right now!"

When Sundae saw Salamence surrounded by the light, she immediately called out to it, but unfortunately, Salamence still ignored her.

As always, it relentlessly unleashed wave after wave of Dragon Claws, Dragon Pulse, Flamethrower, and other attacks, trying to strike the dragon amidst the flowing light.

Unfortunately, each time it was dodged by Dragonair, and then its tail lashed out at its head, slowly eroding Dragonair's stamina.

This scene made Sundae stomp her foot anxiously, tears welling up in her eyes as she stared intently at the Salamence in the air.

Unfortunately, she lacked the ability to command Salamence, which wouldn't listen to her and act solely based on its angry head.

"Frozen Wind!"

At this moment, after observing Salamence and realizing that its stamina was almost depleted, Red gave another command.

"Gurgle~ Ooh~~~!"

Dragonair, which transformed into a streak of light in the air and surrounded Salamence, heard the command and maintained its speed to dodge Salamence's attacks while simultaneously gathering ice-type energy.

Then, a sky full of freezing winds spewed out from the stream of light, attacking the Salamence in the center!

"卅 ...!!!"

The freezing winds coming from all directions were too much for the exhausted Salamence to avoid, and the biting cold winds lashed against its body, causing it great pain.

When the freezing winds ended.

The Salamence, its body covered in frost marks, could no longer flap its blood-red wings. It plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust...

"Gurgle~ Ooh~~~!"

As Dragonair slowly descended from the sky, the dust that had settled on the field gradually dissipated, revealing the massive body of Salamence.

"Ho~~~"

Despite being covered in wounds, the Salamence still stood tall. It hadn't fallen, it hadn't lost, but (Nowang) it was a pity...

Although he still stood on the ground, his eyes were already darting around, indicating that he was losing while standing!

"Salamander..."

Looking at the Salamence that still stood tall even though it had lost its ability to fight, Sundae gently covered her mouth, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Her quartz convention ended here...

"Salamander is unable to battle. The winner of this match is..."

"Crimson of Pallet Town!!!"

After leaving the competition venue, in the players' waiting area.

"..."

Chi Hong slightly lowered the brim of her baseball cap, her gaze calmly fixed on the sobbing girl ahead.

"Pee~..."

Pikachu, perched on his shoulder, waved helplessly. It wouldn't be a big deal if he'd made someone cry before.

After all, Crimson and Cynthia have a good relationship, but now she's made Cynthia's sister cry. Sigh, really.

However, there was nothing that could be done. After all, it was a competition, and they were using their main players, which was their own request.

Although they are not the main force of the first tier, Hakron is definitely capable of becoming a first tier team in the future, so it is quite normal for them to be defeated by Hakron in a three-game sweep.

"..."

After thinking for a moment, Crimson prepared to step forward and offer some comfort, even though he wasn't good at comforting girls.

"Hmph, what are you looking at? I didn't cry."

Unexpectedly, seemingly noticing Crimson's approach, Sundae suppressed her tears, wiped them away, raised her head, and looked at Crimson with a stubborn expression, letting out a snort.

"..."

963

Seeing this, Chi Hong stopped in his tracks, speechless. Looking at the girl's slightly reddened eyes and stubborn expression, he shook his head with a light laugh.

"What are you laughing at..."

"Hmph, but since you've defeated me, I'll admit you do have some skill!"

Although Sundae maintained her haughty demeanor, the slight tremor in her voice revealed that her heart was not so calm.

"Alright, now that you've beaten me, you absolutely have to win the Quartz Conference, understand?"

"Will do."

Crimson nodded slightly and said something.

"I didn't expect you to actually speak..."

Upon hearing Crimson's voice, Sundae looked at him with considerable surprise. If it weren't for his command during the competition, she would have really thought this guy was mute.

Every day it's just "...".

"Alright, my Quartz Contest is over. Your Quartz Contest continues. Good luck, you must win the championship!"

"In that case, it's not shameful for me to lose to the champion."

"Goodbye."

After chatting casually with Sundae for a few more minutes, the two parted ways. Crimson also headed towards the viewing area, where Azusa, Touka, and Ash were still competing.
