Although the ice attribute has many weaknesses, it also has a very wide attack surface, making it a sharp double-edged sword.
"Since ancient times, ice has produced strong people." Lu Ye thought of Uncle Liu and Aunt Kona's "ice dolls" and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, Master."
Korni whispered, "Mr. Defu is also a Marquis. You and him may be a good match."
Lu Ye was slightly startled, and said thoughtfully:
"That doesn't matter, just don't give me the Iceberg Badge..."
"How is that possible! Of course the gym leader will give out badges to trainers he favors. It's a tradition~" Kornie said with a smile.
Lu Ye: “…”
Lu Ye: "I remember now... Caidou entered the sect earlier than you, so you have to call her Senior Sister."
Korni:
She's my old enemy... How can I call her Senior Sister
Korni's cheeks flushed, and she didn't know what to feel for a moment.
A maid walked to Lu Ye's side and whispered:
"Marquis Lu Ye, your random opponent is ready."
"Which trainer?"
"It's Mr. Defu from Yingxue City."
The dark ball on the side of his waist began to shake, and Lu Ye could feel the little guy's strong desire to fight.
I closed my eyes and recalled the little guy's resolute and cold eyes, which looked like those of a king.
Lu Ye nodded slightly and replied:
"I'm ready too."
Chapter 636: Evolution in the Snowstorm! Shakiras
The Ice-type gym leader in "Pokémon XY" is Defu, who is old and strong with a fiery heart. He is the eighth and strongest gym leader in Kalos.
Defu is particularly good at the snow system, and the Blizzard King in the team can be called the core of the "Hail Team". Mastering Mega Evolution, his Super Blizzard King is the absolute main force of the snow tactics.
When Xiaozhi was traveling in the Kalos region, he had a hard battle with Defu. Not only did Greninja lose to Blizzard King, but the stupid guy was directly beaten into autism by Defu.
The strength of this ice gym leader, who is as burly as a bear, is evident.
However, when it comes to the challenge to Mr. Lu, the trainers all have the same opinion:
Although it is strong to be comforted.
But Mr. Lu even dared to blow up the fish pond in the King's Bureau, let alone the Battle Castle!
On the first day, Young Kiras defeated the Rock-type gym leader with a score of 3-3, which made everyone feel the pressure from the 'Baby Cup Killer'.
The next day, the preview of "Defu VS Mr. Lu" once again sparked heated discussions.
"Bring your baby to the Fishpond Bureau to level up... Mr. Lu's classic operation!"
"I don't understand, does the recipe of Little Kiras include ice cubes?"
"Hail? It's shaved ice!"
Of course, Defu may be able to defeat one of Mr. Lu's Pokémon by relying on his level suppression.
Mr. Defu is also the famous Master Xue Tian. What kind of tactical duel between him and Mr. Lu, who has a "black heart", is what the audience in the castle is looking forward to.
…
Monday, June 28th.
The day after the qualifying match, the Marquis promotion match.
The red-carpeted stairs of the Battle Castle welcomed a guest from afar.
"It's so hot, huh... We're finally here."
He walked into the battle castle hall holding his sturdy arms, wearing short-sleeved clothes and a thin down jacket draped over his back.
This look in the hot summer attracted a lot of people's attention.
De Fu didn't care. After all, he had just flown to the battle castle from Yingxue City, where the temperature was below zero all year round, and he hadn't had time to change his clothes.
"Thank you for your help, Yikong!"
Defu handed the down jacket to the butler, his white beard curled up, his eyes full of enthusiasm and joy, and he laughed loudly:
"Who am I fighting today?"
The butler said politely, "Marquis Defu, the one you are fighting is Marquis Luye... You may have heard of his name."
Defu thought about it carefully, his face gradually became solemn, and he said in a deep voice:
"The trainer who used Mega Gengar to shut out Gosho Tenoh?"
The butler nodded slightly and said, "He also participated in this challenge, and his main purpose was to train the new members of the team."
"Come here to train..."
He had to breathe a sigh of relief, which meant that he would not face that Blastoise or Gengar.
But from another perspective.
Defu also wanted to have a thrilling contest with this champion who was known for his tactics.
Defu is good at inspiring the fighting spirit of his opponents and fighting without caring about winning or losing. He is called a mentor and helpful friend by the trainers in Yingxue City.
In "Pokémon XY", it was with Defu's encouragement that Ash was able to successfully use Greninja's "Bond Evolution" with ease.
“When will the challenge take place?”
He hugged his sturdy arms, his eyes sparkling with joy, and said in a deep voice:
"This old man can't wait any longer!"
The butler smiled and said:
"Marquis Luye is also ready. Lord Defu, please follow me to the battle site!"
…
Defu has extensive experience in fighting castles and has an excellent record.
You can advance to the rank of "Duke" simply by defeating Defu in a 2V2 singles battle with no limit on the number of moves.
The "Duke" title of the Battle Castle also applies to most areas in Kalos. If you report the title at luxury hotels such as the Grand Hotel de Coral, you will enjoy generous discounts.
"The Duke still needs a discount... Maybe I'm the only one." Lu Ye thought to himself.
Although he is wealthy, he still has to increase income and reduce expenditure to earn money to support the little one and Shirona!
If the backstab is too severe, I will have to let Sirona support me. (crossed out)
The weather was cool, and the river surrounding the site was rippling with the fragrance of flower petals.
Violet and Chaklo arrived at the viewing area early, followed by Korni.
"It seems that there is still some time before the start of the game."
Chaklo looked up at the castle wall, clenched his wrists, and was eager to try.
Violet held a SLR camera and took a snap of the black-haired young man in a distinguished formal outfit, and said happily:
"Teacher Lu looks so handsome in his robe!"
“Oh~”
Korni's eyes sparkled, she shook her long blond ponytail, and cheered with full energy:
“Master, come on!!”
Bang! Bang!
The sound of salutes.
Defu also put on a loose red and gold robe, hugged his strong arms, nodded slightly at Lu Ye, and said:
"Mr. Lu Ye, I have heard a lot about you."
"You're too polite. Just call me Lu Ye, Mr. Defu." Lu Ye said.
Defu was surprised at the humility of a young champion. You know, Yulongdu and Qinglu were both rebellious when they were young.
The old and strong white-haired old man showed a trace of appreciation in his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"I've watched your explanation of Hail's tactics... To be honest, I've benefited a lot from it."
De Fu continued: "I agree with your point of view—"
"The soul of the Snow Team lies in ice," Defu said. "Ice is both hard and fragile. So how to use ice is my lifelong pursuit."
Lu Ye had heard similar words from Liu Bo before, and said with a smile: "Did you find it?"
A smile appeared on Defu's resolute face.
"Of course. With a warm heart, one can better control the thick ice... This is exactly my shallow view of life."
Lu Ye felt emotional.
He is truly an ice gym owner who is completely different from Liu Bo.
However, perhaps as Defu said, ice-type trainers actually have burning souls.
Believe in the sharp ice, freeze in the blizzard, the wonderful absolute zero -
Butler: "Please send out your Pokémon."
Defu pulled off the cloak on his back, threw the Poké Ball with force, and shouted:
"Go ahead, Ice Rock Monster!!"
Lu Ye thought: "Perhaps this is the charm of the ice system."
"Go ahead." Lu Ye said at the same moment:
"Rotom, activate super refrigerator mode!"
Relying on Rotom Refrigerator's ice resistance, creating a double wall and then rotating with "Volt Replacement" is exactly Mr. Lu's basic strategy.
"Koujie~" Gengar took out a small refrigerator from his pocket, grinned, held the refrigerator and patted it, signaling Rotom to get in quickly.
Rotom Pokémon: "Beep... I can't understand, Loto!o(TヘTo)"
Although he said no, Xiao Luo still flew out of the illustrated book and went into the refrigerator. The refrigerator flashed with dazzling electric light, and then blinked its bright eyes, and the frozen Rotom was ready.
"Kou Jie!" Gengar caught the falling illustrated book with both hands and aimed it at the Ice Rock Monster with ease.
"The Ice Rock Monster is made entirely of icebergs. It uses its iron-like body to crush obstacles and move forward.
The cracks on its body will become larger due to its activities during the day, but they will all heal in one night.
Hearing the emotionless broadcast of the illustration, Lu Ye was stunned for a moment.
The cracks in the ice monster can all be healed in one night—
Logically, young Kiras can also eat ice cubes, but I don’t know if it is legal...
"Is that Mr. Defu's ice rock monster?"
Korni rubbed her arms and said, "I'm already feeling cold..."
Chaklo frowned and said, "According to Mr. Defu's fighting style, it may be even colder later."
On the battlefield.
The Ice Rock Monster lies on all fours, with an iceberg-like solid ice on its shoulders, its limbs shaped like icicles, and its amber pupils staring at [Rotom Refrigerator Form]
Scientifically named "Ice Rotom", the refrigerator extended purple wings made of ions and floated in the air with a serious expression:
"Loto—"
You have to create opportunities for your teammates, Loto!
The battle begins.
