Chapter 42 Brothers talk

Xia Yong frowned and looked at Xia Yu. It was not difficult to get through the College Cup qualifiers, especially in a small city like Xingguang City. It was much easier than Tiandu City. Many students even transferred from big cities to small cities in order to get into the main competition. It was not until recent years that the Pokémon Association issued new regulations, restricting participating students to participate in the competition only in their registered place of residence, that this trend was curbed.

The top four in the qualifiers are relatively easy, the key is to get into the top two in the provincial finals, which is really difficult.

"If you are really determined, we will definitely support you with all our strength." This time Xia Yong said in a very serious tone: "First of all, after entering the main competition, you need three Pokémon, and you only have two. Your Buzzbat is a Flying + Dragon Pokémon, which is restrained by Ice, Dragon, Fairy, and Rock. The Grass-attributed Forest Lizard is restrained by Flying, Bug, Poison, Fire, and Ice. Both of your Pokémon are restrained by Ice. At the same time, Buzzbat's Dragon and Flying attack areas and Forest Lizard's attack areas are resisted by Steel."

"It's very difficult to deal with Steel and Ice Pokémon, so the choice of the third Pokémon is particularly important. You must choose a Pokémon that restrains these two attributes. Fire and Fighting types restrain both Ice and Steel types."

Xia Yong analyzed seriously, it is true that Xia Yu's two Pokémon now have no way to deal with Steel Pokémon, and are also restrained by Ice Pokémon. If they encounter Alola Sandslash with Ice and Steel attributes and snow-clearing properties in the snowy team, there will be really no way they can do anything. It is estimated that Xia Yu's team will be directly defeated.

Xia Yu hesitated to speak. The third Pokémon was indeed a flaw, but he also had a task limit. The third Pokémon he captured had better be a dragon-type Pokémon. If he really didn't encounter a dragon-type Pokémon with king-level qualifications, Xia Yu would have to make a choice. At that time, he would have to give up one of the two tasks. Either capture a Pokémon with other attributes and participate in the main competition, or give up the competition and continue to wait for a dragon-type Pokémon with king-level qualifications.

Of course, the most ideal method is to capture a Pokémon with both Fire and Dragon attributes. In this case, Charizard is undoubtedly the most suitable one. It has fire attributes that can restrain Pokémon with both Ice and Steel attributes, and its mega evolution has dragon attributes, which will not affect Xia Yu's mission.

Of course, Infernape and Reshiram, who are born with the dual attributes of fire and dragon, are also suitable.

In addition to the dual attributes of fire and dragon, fighting and dragon attributes are also a good choice. However, it seems that the only family with dual attributes of fighting and dragon is the Quasi-God Staff Tailed Scaled Armored Dragon. It is too difficult, so I will not consider it for the time being.

After choosing and choosing, it seems that there are only two options for Xia Yu: Infernape and Charizard.

"If you really want to participate, you must hurry up and hatch the third Pokémon as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be able to catch up with the special training time of half a year." Xia Yong reminded him, and turned his head as if he suddenly remembered something, and said to Charlotte beside him: "Xiao Luo still has a selection spot, I can give it to you, brother, pick a good-qualified Charmeleon, Flame Monkey, or Warm Pork. The final evolution types of these three Pokémon are both fire and fighting attributes, which are very suitable for Xiaoyu."

"Why bother?" Charlotte said nonchalantly, "We went to the Fire Realm last time and found no suitable Pokémon of these three types. In my opinion, we have already picked two Fire Pokémon this time. We can just give the Charmander egg to Xiaoyu to choose. Anyway, it hasn't hatched yet and hasn't been registered with the Pokémon Association."

Ok?

When Xia Yu heard his brother's words, his heart moved, and he immediately thought of the shining Charmander!

The best Charmander.

However, Xia Yu quickly rejected this idea of ​​his. He could not take advantage of his brother, especially since his brother had suffered such a great blow recently and needed to replenish powerful Pokémon.

Moreover, when the elder brother sees the performance and posture of the little dragon in the future, even if he doesn't say anything, it may leave the seeds of conflict between the two brothers, thinking that Xia Yu took advantage of him. Xia Yu really cherishes the relationship between family members, so he directly rejected his elder brother's proposal: "No, brother, you leave the last spot to me, I can choose the Pokémon myself, and those two Pokémon eggs are specially selected for you."

"Hey, Xiaoyu." Charlotte called out to Xia Yu, "I remember you were the one who fell in love with that Charmander egg at first sight. You strongly asked me to choose it. Why don't you want it?"

Xia Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, you don't know how hard I struggled mentally to reject you." He said unhappily, "I'm afraid you'll regret it later."

"Is it as mysterious as you say?" Charlotte said in disbelief: "In my opinion, it's good enough to have the quasi-king level qualifications."

Quasi-king level, who are you looking down on, brother?

"What if I say that Charmander's Pokémon egg is of King-level caliber?" Xia Yu looked at his brother seriously, without any joking expression on his face.

"Can you really tell?" In his heart, Charlotte had already believed it for the most part. His younger brother was very talented in identifying Pokémon's qualifications.

Xia Yu hesitated slightly, but chose to hide his talent. The system was his biggest secret. He would use the system's ability to help his family, but would not tell them his own abilities. "I can't tell, but I can guess roughly. First of all, the elf eggs in the collection room are all of good quality, and their parents are both powerful Pokémon. Secondly, the shell of that elf egg is yellowish, which is more shiny than ordinary Charmander eggs. Many people would only think that the fire energy is sufficient, but I think there should be a Shining Charmander in that elf egg, which is why this happened."

After Xia Yu said this, Xia Luo, Xia Yong and Lin Xuemei all looked at Xia Yu in surprise. Xia Yong asked in even greater surprise, "Are you sure? Can you see the flash from the eggshell?"

"There is no such thing as 100% certainty in the world, but it's almost certain. A Shiny Charmander must have good aptitude. I think it has a high probability of reaching the King level, so I let my brother choose that Pokémon egg." Xia Yu said.

"If that's the case, Xiaoyu, then this elf egg must be given to you." After thinking for a moment, Charlotte's eyes flashed with determination and expectation for Xia Yu.

"elder brother……"

"Don't rush to refuse." Charlotte interrupted Xia Yu, looked into Xia Yu's eyes, and said seriously, "The College Cup U19 Pokémon League is the most important competition. A person can only participate in it once in his life. If you can get the top two positions in Xishu Province, it will be of great benefit to your future development and also to the Xia family."

"But, brother..."

"Xiao Yu, listen to me. I, your brother, have resigned from the position of gym leader now. If you want to be a gym leader again, you have to wait until the next gym leader ranking competition, which is three years later. Three years is a long time. I have plenty of time and can prepare slowly. There is no need to rush. But it's different for you. There is only half a year before the start of the College Cup. A king-level Charmander can be of great help to you. If you train it properly, you can train Charmander to the strength of a lord before the start of the College Cup."

"And I've also observed your Forest Lizard these past few days. It's huge and has excellent aptitude. It's at least a Quasi-King or even King-level Pokémon. The Forest Lizard plus the Charmander will allow you to get into the top two of the main competition, with a better chance of success."

"So Xiaoyu, that elf egg is for you."

There was a hint of determination in Charlotte's eyes. He was willing to make sacrifices for his brother's future.

"Brother." Xia Yu was moved in his heart. The more Xia Luo treated him without hesitation, the more he felt ashamed: "If, the aptitude of that little fire dragon is better than that of the heavenly king, and has reached the quasi-championship level level or championship level?"

"How is that possible? You don't know how rare Pokémon with semi-championship qualifications are. If the qualifications are really that good, it would be even better." Charlotte showed a bright smile on his face: "Then my brother can become the first king-level trainer in my family. Brother, just relax and don't worry that I will regret it. No matter how good the qualifications of that little dragon are, I will only be happy for you. You must remember that I am your brother and will always be proud of you. Right, mom and dad."

Xia Yong had a stern face, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Stinky boy, you finally understand something."

Lin Xuemei's eyes were slightly red: "Xiao Luo is right, Xiao Yu, you will always be my pride."
