Chapter 457 The First Release Agreed Upon

After arranging the focus of the next short period of time for the five permanent elves in the team, Zhou You returned to the room and released Articuno from the elf ball.

As soon as it appeared, the elegant and moving ice elf covered the entire room with a layer of frost.

"Cry?"

Aren't we going to fly directly to the destination on Charizard this time?

"I have to go through a formal entry and exit, otherwise I will have trouble playing games and leagues."

One point that must be emphasized is that even if you have the ability to cross regions and countries by elves, you still need to go through a lot of applications and procedures.

However, thanks to Yashida, Zhou You only needs to take the boat according to the time on the summons, and the rest will be handled by this agent.

After that, Zhou You looked at Articuno who had already landed on the bird climbing frame.

A long time ago, Zhou You told it on Honglian Island that it could leave on its own after cooperating with the doctors to complete the investigation, and it could go to either the Twin Islands or Silver Mountain at that time.

However, after a year of living a comfortable life with no worries about food and clothing, and someone to help take care of his daily life, Articuno seemed reluctant to return to the cold and unsafe Twin Island.

Oh no, strictly speaking, according to Articuno itself, it chose to settle down directly on Azure Island - and transformed part of the island into an icy and snowy environment.

Zhou You welcomed this. Regardless of its strength, at least from the appearance alone, Articuno was very pleasing to the eye.

And during the time when it settled on Azure Island, Zhou You also developed a special training plan for it.

Articuno, a legendary elf, was born with relatively outstanding wisdom, far more endurance than ordinary elves, and a "mysterious guardian" that was almost immune to most abnormalities. Its innate conditions can be said to be unique.

The only shortcoming is the "ice" attribute, which makes it the weakest of the three birds. It was killed by the strongest Zapdos without even a chance to raise its head. Now, even the grown-up Arthur and Leftovers may not be able to beat it...

But the battle between Pokémon is not simply a comparison of size. The ice type does not mean that it is useless. Even Articuno has its own advantages.

Although the impressive three-dimensional (90/100/125) is greatly reduced by the ice type, at least flying is an advantageous attribute, so it is not too disadvantaged when facing the common close-range fighting, rock, and steel Pokémon...

In the end, it depends on the degree of training and the tactics chosen by the trainer.

In the wild, Articuno, which relied purely on talent to fight ordinary wild Pokémon, was not proficient in combat skills. However, after receiving the systematic training method of humans, it has mastered most of the conventional skills of the ice and flying types, and gradually mastered the way of fighting.

The foundation of the legendary Pokémon means that it does not have many restrictions like ordinary Pokémon when using props such as candy and fruit. Under the intentional guidance of the trainer, it can give full play to this hard-earned talent.

In addition, the race of Articuno itself has the talent of snowfall. Compared with the Nine-Tailed Fox and Blizzard King, which have the characteristic of "snowfall", it can easily lay down fierce snow and wind. According to its will, it can even expand the influence to the entire town and mountain range instead of just the battlefield.

It's a pity that Zhou You doesn't play the snow team.

The only regret is that this Articuno unexpectedly has no sense of oppression. Although it looks beautiful, elegant and dignified, it is not an advantage in front of the trainer who makes a living by fighting, and it cannot use the snow to consume the opponent.

Therefore, after detecting the ability of Articuno through the equipment of the research institute, Zhou You formulated a route of "shield and team doctor" for it.

That is, use the inherent durability, double walls and the unreasonable defensive move "Aurora Curtain" to avoid damage, while using "Black Mist" to clear the opponent's enhancement level, using "Tailwind" to create a speed advantage for the whole team, and then relying on "Healing Bell" to protect teammates.

You can also deal damage when necessary. The legendary elves have the foundation, ice system and level advantage, so no matter how bad their ability to deal damage is, it will not be too bad.

After all, not everyone can fight four against one like Zhou You while fighting and healing, and then grab it from the corner and keep using Flash Charge, resulting in it having no chance to deal damage at all...

And when it is not necessary, you can directly "quickly return" to leave the field to give other teammates a chance to play.

Leftovers with "Wisp" serve as the physical shield of the team, and Articuno with extremely high special resistance serves as the special shield. When the former masters the X-return type moves, the two can seamlessly switch to conduct targeted joint defense according to the enemy's favorite attack method.

In this way, the team that challenges the second round of gym doubles in the Hoenn region has been successfully formed.

Eden is the supporter, Arthur is the DPS, Qingming is the disrupter, Leftovers and Articuno are the shielders, DPS and supporters, and Chichitose is expected in the future.

Let’s not talk about Eden who can do everything.

The whole team has 4 elves that use "Tailwind", 3 elves that use wall and even "Aurora Curtain", 2 elves that use "Wilson's Fire", and 1 elf that uses "Meikiri", "Yawn" and "Desire".

There are 3 elves that can use actions to open sunny days, and Articuno can easily open rainy and snowy days as if it has a special feature.

Arthur and Articuno, the two DPS, can play their combat power in sunny/rainy and rainy/snowy weather respectively. For the team that Zhouyou can form under the current conditions, it is already a very good answer.

"So, as agreed during last year's Quartz Conference, you will be the starting player in the Doubles and Grand Tournament when we arrive at Hoenn." Zhou You still remembers what he said.

"Cry!?"

It's okay if you don't remember! Actually, I don't really care about starting now!

Articuno has long regretted why he wanted to fight against Zapdos in a fit of rage. Now he just wants to eat and drink with Zhou You.

If the other party hadn't said that he would only provide various delicacies after training, he would not bother to learn how to fight and practice his moves.

"Ah, how come you are as fickle as me?" Zhou You chuckled, but he would not indulge him. "We have rested for more than half a year, and not all opponents are at the level of Green and Leaf. At least win the Grand Celebration in Hoenn before you slack off."

"A Pokémon like you who are born to fit in the Grand Celebration will definitely be able to beat all opponents with a little practice, not to mention that I have taught you a lot of skills in controlling and connecting moves.

"Think about it, all the audience in the venue will cheer and applaud for you, obsessed with your gorgeousness and beauty. Can a lightning bird that is covered with thorns and can suppress you do this?"

The legend says that the Pokémon itself has various potentials, and Zhou You has tapped some of its talents in more than half a year, so that it can bloom in both combat and gorgeousness.

Hearing this, Articuno seemed to be thinking about something...
