After saying everything he wanted to say, Lucario carried the bat back on his shoulder, restrained his serious expression and showed his usual sunny smile: How about it, do you accept this bet?

Facing the gambling invitation proposed by Lucario, I didn't answer immediately, just stood silently, raising the corners of my mouth. Lucario didn't seem to be anxious about it, just stood there smiling and waiting for my answer.

At this time, the safest answer is naturally to directly reject the other party, but I couldn't tell it out easily.

It’s not that there is something happening, but the atmosphere at this moment cannot tolerate me rejecting Lucario’s invitation so simply.

The scene is a baseball stadium under the setting sun, with only Sano and Litto Loli.

The cool breeze blew gently by, and Lucario and I looked at each other.

The showdown between friends, the fateful battle between the devil and the brave, the head-on confrontation between the pitcher and the hitter... I can only say that there are too many kingly plots that unfold behind the scenes that push me to follow the bet proposed by Cario in the next lane.

This has nothing to do with the current situation or the mood of both parties involved. There is a voice in my heart that is constantly telling me that whether it is based on the identity of a friend, a devil, or a pitcher, I have the mission and obligation to accept Lucario's invitation this time.

Let me explain this. If Ultraman’s Ultraman beam flashes by a hostile monster, how much impact will the children on the TV suffer?

So as a former otaku and the current demon king, even if I know that my strength has an insurmountable threshold with the brave, I still cannot have the idea of ​​turning around and escaping.

So I have to take over the bet of Cario Lou anyway.

I can't escape, I can't escape, I can't escape ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

After performing an exaggerated small theater in the inner world, I whispered to Lucarioon, trying to soothe a little serious atmosphere in a teasing tone: Look at your serious look, if I say the word I refuse now, will you be greatly hit?

Hey, I have made a lot of preparations in advance to arrange this showdown with you. He heard what I said, Lucario's expression on his face collapsed in an instant, and he raised his fingers like complaining: The conflict between the members of the academy team and the adventurer, the team members were temporarily injured, and he met you on the road and asked you to be a pitcher. In addition, the final showdown between friends in the sunset, it is not easy to connect all these uncertain events. Among them, the two links about you have to be lucky. But after guessing the truth behind the scenes, you refused my invitation with ruthlessness. Your attitude hurts me very much!

I waved my hand with a wry smile: If you think too much, you will tell the words just now. I guessed that the truth you self-destructed just now. Then again, you really dare to gamble. You actually built the success of the entire plan on whether I would appear as you predicted.

Remember what I said just now? Lucario leaned sideways and tapped his shoulder with a bat: Although it was my plan for the college team to go to the tavern and pick up women, and the adventurers team’s dissatisfaction with the college team was also because of my secret incitement, whether I would be invited to be a substitute by the college team and whether I would meet Xu Mo, you can only decide based on luck. You were invited by chance, accidentally, and hit a home run when testing the blow feel. Then the ball accidentally flew to where Xu Mo, you were. Finally, you were successfully invited to become a temporary pitcher for the college team. And bringing these countless chances together became a necessity.

I am really a brave man. Even if I say all the small movements I secretly made, I am still so handsome. I threw the baseball straight up, and then when it fell, I grabbed it in my palm: So are you ready?

Lucario rarely showed a surprised expression: Oh, are you willing to take the bet?

As you said, since you know that you have made so much preparations in advance, if you really refuse, I will feel emotionally unable to survive. I beat you bitterly: But for not being so simple, I was tied to death by you in the Adventurers team, and I will not let go of the water next time.

Just as I want, come on! Lucario has already switched to the state in a striking fight.

He yelled in his mouth to motivate himself. I believe no one could have guessed that the first head-on battle between the brave and the devil would be a baseball game?

Raise your hands, and the Elemental Eyes and the Power of Laws are activated at the same time. From the remaining number of baseballs that have not been used up for the game, even if I did not recycle the hit ball, it would be enough for me to shoot for more than ten rounds.

The first ball, the wind and fire mixed attribute magic ball.

The force was too light. With a swing of Lucario's big stick, the flame vortex that once crushed countless adventurers' teams was broken up in one fell swoop.

The second ball, Feng Shui mixed attribute magic ball.

Trying to use flexible water to cut the force? The idea is good, but it's still too naive!

A clanging sound came out, and the ball was still knocked towards the blue sky.

The third ball, the fire and earth mixed magic ball.

If the head-on battle is ineffective, you will take a roundabout attack method and your reaction is quite fast... But the magic fluctuations on the ball are too strong. Even if you can't see the eyes, the pores in my body are still whispering in my ears, telling me where the ball is.

Location!

As the words said, Lucario's eyes did not turn away from me even if the ball penetrated into the soil. He completely relied on his perception to hit the ball flying out of the soil.

The fourth goal...

...

One side threw the ball, the other side kept waving the bat. When I realized it, the number of baseballs remaining in the basket had unknowingly turned into single digits. Even though all kinds of compound magic balls had not been shot, I could already see the end of this competition.

The magic ball with only two attributes special effects is not enough to make Lucario's swing fail.

What's wrong, Xu Mo, do you no longer have the strength? Lucario, who was holding the bat, didn't even breathe, and kept a ease of joking at me.

Even if my magic power supports me and throws hundreds of balls, there is no problem. Although the shots I throw will always be knocked out by Lucario, I still verbally fight back against the opponent.

This matchup was originally intended for a temporary purpose, so I did not have the obsession with the outcome. For example, the unwillingness or regret described in the comics were not at all. At most, I was a little moved by the gap between myself and the brave.

I have tried cheating. After finding that the double-gen magic ball cannot compete with Lucario, I immediately gave laws to the baseball I threw, such as multiplying weight or letting the ball throw more features that can cut objects. But I don’t know if I have too low control over the laws, or this messy way of incorporating them will conflict with the magic tool function of the baseball itself. In the end, I was either an ordinary double-gen magic ball, or an ordinary straight ball with only the law effect and no magic special effects left.

After knocking the ground twice with the bat, Lucario and I didn't feel like we would end the competition in one breath immediately. Since we opened the gates of conversation, we just stood up and started talking.

I said Xu Mo, have you ever thought about throwing a three-genus magic ball? Lucario spoke explosively as soon as he opened his mouth, and he didn't forget to praise himself: You can probably see that if you still only hit a two-genus magic ball in the future, the outcome of this showdown will probably end with my victory.

Do you think I haven't tried my head to the three magic balls? I shook my head and said helplessly: When two kinds of magic are injected into the baseball, it seems to be in a saturated state of element. Although it is not that you cannot use compression to make some space, you should know that there is a mutually generated relationship between magic. For example, the fire element will increase when it encounters wind element. If the ratio of element increase or decrease is not calculated in advance, it will be a consequence of element annihilation, and magic cannot be formed at all.

There is not a magical world with multiple attributes that combine, but before casting this kind of magic, you have to draw a magic array with a huge area. Even if I have elemental pupils, I must have enough space in front of me to complete the elemental color blocks.

Look at the baseball in your hand that is only half the size of a palm. The essence of this thing is to reduce the burned magic array, absorb it into the ball and turn the magic into another effect in one fell swoop. It is not a problem to make people draw a magic array, but the space inside the ball obviously cannot identify such a high degree of precision.

I haven't been too deeply involved in the magic part, but I remember that I once read a statement in the classics of the family. Turning his head, Lucario recalled and said: Eliminate light and darkness with different styles, the remaining four elements are actually supported by each other, and there is no mutual generation and restraint. The reason why element enhancement or weakening effects occur is because the two attributes resonate when they get close, or the way we contact is incorrect, so that the two have annihilation effects.

Isn’t this just a common debate on theory? When an academic has not been fully studied, there are always many different opinions about the characteristics of this academic, so I am not surprised by this.

No, the focus of my attention is not theory, but the sentence that elements support each other. Lucario rubbed his index finger on his left thumb and made a serious opinion: I think this makes sense. I remember that a scholar once dug a broken stone slab in a ruin, and after translation, what is recorded on it seems to be the ancients' understanding of the origin of the world.

What was written on it?

The healing rain, the slightly caressed wind, the soil that supports it, and the fire that dispels the darkness. The birth of all things is not accidental, it is a miracle of life. After Lucario finished his thoughts, he scratched his cheek: It's a brainless person, right?

No, I am very grateful for telling me this. By combining the four sentences that are not lost, I feel like I suddenly felt something indescribable, but I can't say what I say. If the four elements can really support each other and maintain balance, does it mean that as long as you piece together the color blocks of the elements with exactly the same amount, you can directly reach the activation conditions of the four-generated composite magic without the magic array?

Well, Xu Mo, have you thought of something? Seeing that I was thinking seriously with my avatar down, Lucario asked with concern.

Yes, it’s really a blessing for you to say this. I reached out and gently pressed the eye socket twice. When I opened my left eye again, the scenery I saw in front of me had turned into a different shape: even if it was only a moment, I did see the whole world just now.

Banana, I think even Luvika, who taught me the power of law, would never have imagined that I would advance to the sub-god on the baseball field because of Lucario's casual words.
