Chapter 124 Preliminary Tournament! Doubles duel
Xiaozhi, Tetsuya, and Masamune successfully broke through the preliminaries and entered the official competition, and participated in the opening ceremony of the Caiyu Conference together!
President Damalanqi handed over the honor of being the last flame runner to Xiaozhi. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiaozhi climbed onto the flame platform and lit the flame from the Flame Bird. Pokémon Hoenn Alliance Caiyou The conference officially begins!
Xiaozhi and others came to the dedicated Pokémon Center of the conference. Watching Xiaosheng holding the navigator and flipping through it, Masamune asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"Using the Pokémon Navigator, you can check the latest information about the conference competition like this!" Xiaosheng smiled and introduced the Navigator.
"How amazing! Is this the power of technology?" Masamune exclaimed.
Xiaogang on the other side has turned into a steam engine and started to smoke, "Through the screen, you can actually check out all the beautiful big sisters participating in the competition!"
Everyone (￢_￢)... silently stayed away from him. It was so embarrassing. Only Kangbanban clung to Xiaogang.
At this moment, Miss Joy took the microphone and announced, "Now, I want to announce the group list for the preliminaries of the Hoenn Alliance Aiyou Tournament!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the trainers looked at Miss Joy, eager to know who their opponent was!
"There are a total of 256 trainers participating in the preliminary tournament. In the preliminary tournament, the 32 players who win will get the right to participate in the final tournament! Also, the preliminary tournament adopts a three-round battle mode, all doubles matches!" After Miss Joy announced the rules of the preliminary tournament, the contestants immediately started discussing!
256 people have to be selected from 32 people. The elimination system is really cruel. Moreover, the doubles competition requires three consecutive games. If you lose one game, you will be eliminated. It puts a lot of pressure on the contestants!
"I'm getting more and more excited!" Masamune shouted with great fighting spirit, no matter what the rules were, as long as he kept winning all the way!
"Then, now we have to announce the groupings." Miss Joy's voice drew the contestants' attention back to the public screen.
Immediately, all the group information of the 256 contestants popped up on the screen. Xiaozhi was assigned to Arena C for the afternoon game, while Masamune was assigned to Arena E for the morning game, which meant that Masamune's game was about to begin!
In the E Arena auditorium, Xiaozhi and others began to watch Masamune's game, but when everyone was cheering for Masamune, two misfits got mixed in.
“The pineapple bread is amazing!”
"As expected of this product, it is a product limited to the Caiyou Convention!"
"Yup!"
I saw two foodies, Xiaoyao and Zheye, each holding a piece of pineapple bread and eating it with enjoyment.
Everyone looked at the two of them speechlessly.
Masamune's opponent is a trainer named Karen. The lineup battle is Kati Dog and Scorpio versus Gala Gala and Wei Li.
It is obvious that Karen has the advantage in terms of level. In addition, Masamune will only attack blindly, and Karen's tactics are also very good.
But Masamune relied on his backbone and fought with him. First, Scorpio used his flying trick to defeat the strange force.
At the same time, Gala Gala also solved the Kati dog, and then started a battle between two ground-type Pokémon. Finally, the battle ended with Scorpio's amazing backbone, killing Gala Gala with Iron Tail.
Masamune is really similar to his predecessor Xiaozhi. He fights with his own passion, and his victory depends entirely on the efforts of the Pokémon itself.
Next is Ash Ketchum's match. "Dear viewers, the fourth match to be held in Arena C is between Ash Ketchum from Zhenxin Town and Tomano from Inua Town!"
"The decision is made by you, King Yan and Thunder Beast!" Xiaozhi sent out the lineup he had already registered.
"siba~" "Woof~"
"It's up to you, Tropical Dragon and Devouring Beast!" Tomono also sent out his Pokémon without hesitation.
In the lineups of both sides, Xiaozhi barely has an attribute advantage. In terms of strength, the two Pokémon on Xiaozhi's side are both in the middle stage of the gym, while Tomano is in the middle stage of the Tropical Dragon Gym and the early stage of the Devouring Beast Gym.
Of course, Ruyouye's command tactics are very strong, so this advantage is nothing at all.
"Tropical Dragon, fly up!" Youye looked at Xiaozhi's low-flying King Swallow and Thunder Beast, "All Flying Leaf Blades attack!"
"Get away!" Xiaozhi commanded calmly.
Xiaozhi's two Pokémon are both speed-type, and they easily avoided the siege of the Flying Leaf Knife with absolute speed.
"Big King Yan, attack the whole field with air slash! Thunder Beast, electrify the field and ask for rain!" Xiaozhi directly snatched the field rights and weather rights.
King Yan's wings kept swinging out air slashes, forcing Tropical Dragon and Devouring Beast to defend. By the time the attack was over, Thunder Beast had already set up the venue!
The entire venue was covered in golden yellow, and heavy rain began to fall from the sky. "Wang Yan, take advantage of the storm now!"
Suddenly, the storm picked up the raindrops and formed a waterspout. "Be careful!" Tomono shouted.
It's already too late, the waterspout directly trapped the tropical dragon and the Devouring Beast!
"Now, the whole place is thundering! King Yan rushes up and Yan Hui!" Xiaozhi commanded.
"What?!" Xiaogang and others in the audience were shocked. If they rushed forward now, Wang Yan would also be hit by the thunder that covered the entire audience!
But what Xiaozhi wanted was this result. He saw countless lightning strikes at the same time, including the Tropical Dragon, the Devouring Beast, and the Great King Swallow. Unlike the wails of the Tropical Dragon and the Devouring Beast, the Big King Swallow resisted and destroyed the thundering ones. Thunder and lightning energy is integrated into Yan Hui.
"Come on! King Yan!" Xiaozhi shouted.
The King Swallow directly transformed into a Golden King Swallow and broke through the waterspout, defeating the tropical dragon and devouring beast trapped in it!
The poor Devouring Beast was beaten so hard that it lost its ability to fight before even using its special attack skills.
"Tropical Dragon and Devouring Beast lose their ability to fight, King Yan and Thunder Beast win, and the winner is Ash Ketchum!"
Unlike Masamune's hard-fought battle based on strength, this battle was entirely at Ash's pace. From the moment the venue and weather conditions were revealed, Tomono had already lost!
"Xiao Zhi is so awesome! The last move is really gorgeous!" Xiao Yao said in surprise, Golden King Yan is so cool!
"It's just a bit expensive Pokémon!" Xiao Sheng complained.
"As expected of Xiaozhi, he is really skilled in using combination moves, and his Pokémon also trust him!" Zheye commented.
Masamune nodded excitedly: "Being my strong rival should have this strength!"
Ash's second game was also very easy. He was not very strong and just used Menas and Kirulian to win easily!
As long as he wins one more game, Xiaozhi will successfully advance to the final tournament.
