Chapter 163: Large-scale celebration, 32 to 16 (bloody storm, corpses everywhere)
After the list of top 32 contestants was announced, the screen flashed and the list of the 32 to 16 contestants came out. Heimer met Frandy, and Harry actually met Xianglan!!!
When Harry saw this assignment, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. After all, they were all participants in the gorgeous competition, so Harry had some understanding of Xianglan.
It is said that except for the gorgeous competition in the Tongxin Conference where Xianglan lost to Haimer, she advanced smoothly in the first round of the other gorgeous competitions.
In the second review, they also won the opponent very smoothly, and it was said that they killed the opponent with one blow.
This terrifying strength made Harry sweat profusely. However, since he had encountered it, he had to go ahead no matter how scared he was.
Compared to the devastating atmosphere on Harry's side, the atmosphere on Hemer and Frandy's side was quite harmonious.
After seeing that they were each other's opponents, Heimer and Frandy agreed to have a fight without regrets.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Heimer picked up the Pokémon who had completed their health check-ups at the Pokémon Center.
Looking at the Poké Ball in front of him, Heimer is still thinking about who to send into the field the day after tomorrow.
When I first met Frandy, his performance style was more focused on creating an atmosphere. However, in the two first reviews at previous large-scale celebrations, Frandy's performance style was obviously very different from before, and now he is more inclined to show the charm of Pokémon itself.
This change also allowed Frandy to easily get a full score of 100 in the preliminaries. Frandy, who temporarily put aside what he was good at for the sake of the competition, should not be underestimated.
After a day of rest, the grand celebration and the 32-to-16 match is finally about to begin.
On the main stage, Vivian held the microphone and shouted happily to the audience.
Vivian: "The second round of the official competition of the Pokémon Grand Contest is a five-minute doubles match. The first match of the top 32 to 16 is between Xianglan and Harry!"
After Xianglan and Harry stood on both sides of the stage, they took out their Poké Balls.
Xianglan: "Win with grace, Venusaur, Charizard."
Harry: "Go ahead, my bad baby, Dreamsong Cactus, Cursed Doll."
Four Pokémon Balls were thrown towards the stage at the same time. The white light dissipated, and Bulbasaur, Charizard, Dreamsong Cactus and Cursed Doll appeared on the stage at the same time.
Vivian: "Then, the five-minute countdown begins!!!"
The five-minute countdown began. Xianglan did not give any instructions, but just looked at Harry with a smile.
When Harry saw Xianglan's smile, he thought she was looking down on him, so he shouted at the cursed doll and the Dream Song Cactus a little angrily.
Harry: "Cursed Doll, Screech!! Dreamsong Cactus, Seed Machine Gun!!!"
After Harry gave the instructions, the cursed doll rubbed its teeth with a hideous face. The noise it made was like the sound of nails scratching on a blackboard, which made people extremely uncomfortable. Charizard and Venusaur were affected by the harsh sound, and some of them frowned uncomfortably. Xianglan's points were also deducted at this moment.
Just as the Cursed Doll used its noise trick, the Dreamsong Cactus quickly jumped up, and emerald green seeds shot from its mouth towards Bulbasaur and Charizard.
Xianglan looked at the seed machine gun flying in the air, sighed helplessly, and said to Charizard and Venusaur.
Pandan: "Crazy plants, tree webs."
Bulbasaur stomped its feet hard on the ground, and the thick tree roots instantly shot up. The crazy plants weaved into a tree web in the air, just like an umbrella blocking the drizzle, easily blocking the seed machine gun of the Dream Song Cactus.
Harry: "What!!!"
Xianglan: "After the noise reduces the defense, use the Seed Machine Gun for physical attack. It's a very good combo. Hmm, but it's still a little tender to deal with me, Venusaur, Crazy Plant."
Hearing Xianglan's instructions, Venusaur emanated a faint green light all over its body. Under Venusaur's control, the tree web woven by crazy plants quickly tightened towards the Cursed Doll and the Dream Song Cactus.
Harry: "Get out of the way!!!"
Faced with such a powerful attack, the Cursed Doll and the Dream Song Cactus were not fast enough, so they were immediately caught by the tree net of the crazy plants. In an instant, the thick tree roots kept tightening, and the terrifying force squeezed the Cursed Doll and the Dream Song Cactus so hard that they could hardly breathe. At this moment, Harry's points were continuously deducted.
Harry: "Damn it!!!"
Xianglan: "Well, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be so durable. Then, Fire-breathing Dragon, Explosive Flame."
The Charizard raised his head proudly and spread his large and powerful wings. The powerful fire power quickly gathered in his mouth, and the terrible high temperature immediately spread throughout the entire battlefield. With a bang, the exploding flames followed the tree web woven by crazy plants and directly hit the Cursed Doll and the Mengge Cactus.
The continuous explosion of flames and the constant squeezing of the crazy plants caused the Mengge Cactus and the Cursed Doll to lose their ability to fight. Upon seeing this, the judges immediately pressed the battle off judgment.
Vivian: "The Cursed Doll and the Dream Song Cactus battle is off. Contestant Xianglan has successfully advanced to the top 16!!!"
Faced with this tragic result, Harry did not collapse on the spot. He was already very strong. After taking back the cursed doll and the Dreamsong Cactus, he walked off the stage in disgrace.
