Chapter 342: Quarterfinals, duel with Shinji!
A strong shock wave swept around, and the audience couldn't help but exclaim.
The thick smoke gradually dissipated, and when everyone looked closely, they found that the positions of the two sides had been swapped.
At this moment, Aledo had already exited the Mega Evolution. It held the holy sword in its hand, maintaining that posture motionless, like a sculpture.
However, the snorkeling weasel was half-kneeling on the ground, struggling to cover his trembling arms with his hands, and seemed to have suffered a great blow.
"Who won? Was it Snorkel Itachi?"
"That's unlikely. You know, Aledo is a mega evolution. It's impossible for him to lose with close combat ability."
"Not necessarily. Don't forget the last move that Snorkeling Itachi used just now. Its power was so terrifying!"
"Well... let's not jump to conclusions yet. Let's observe and see."
Just as the audience was talking about it, the situation on the field changed again.
Click
There was a crisp sound, and tiny cracks began to appear on the holy sword in Elrod's hand, and they continued to spread and expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, the entire holy sword was shattered into pieces, and eventually turned into countless fragments that scattered all over the ground.
In the back, Ah Ning murmured, "We lost again."
Just as he finished speaking, Aledo's eyes rolled back, his body fell limply backwards, and he fell heavily to the ground, without any movement.
"Aledo has lost its ability to fight... Since all three Pokémon of Ning have lost their ability to fight, Xiaoyun will win this promotion match!"
As the middle-aged referee's voice fell, the audience cheered and celebrated for Xiaoyun, the winner.
At the same time, today's round of 16 qualifying matches officially came to an end!
In the audience, Xiaozhi couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, Xiaoyun is still so strong."
Teacher Gang at the side also commented: "Yes, it is a stable performance."
In the corner, Dakdo withdrew his gaze and said lightly: "It's quite interesting."
Just like that, today’s competition came to an end, the audience dispersed, and everyone returned to the players’ hotel to rest.
As evening approached and everyone was having dinner, the conference broadcast suddenly sounded.
"Attention all contestants, the list of the quarterfinals has been announced. Please go to the Pokémon Center as soon as possible to confirm the duel list!"
Half an hour later, Xiaoyun looked at the contestants' groups on the big screen.
In front of him was Xiaozhi, and Xiaozhi's opponent was a boy wearing glasses, whom he was not familiar with.
Then he looked at Dakodo's avatar again. The Beast Man was on another duel route, which meant that he and the Beast Man would meet.
It can only be the finals!
Finally, Xiaoyun focused his attention on the top, which was himself. The screen showed that he would be playing the first game tomorrow.
Then he looked at his opponent's position, he was very familiar with it, a purple-haired boy with a cold temperament.
"So the next opponent is Shinji?"
Xiaoyun was looking at the screen and thinking.
Suddenly, he noticed a pair of eyes fixed on him, and turned around to find...
The owner of the gaze is Shinji!
At this moment, Shinji was staring at him without saying a word, and then turned and left after a few seconds.
Although no words were spoken, he could feel the fighting spirit emanating from Shinji.
Seems a little excited.
At this time, Ah Xun sneaked up to Xiao Yun and whispered in a low voice: "Xiao Yun, are we brothers?"
Xiaoyun raised an eyebrow and snorted, "Hmm? What's up?"
Then, with a mysterious look on his face, Ah Jun continued in a low voice: "Tomorrow you will fight that cold-hearted guy, Shinji! When you fight him, remember to be ruthless. It would be best if you could beat him so hard that he would doubt his life!"
Xiaoyun couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. This name is quite appropriate.
Shinji = cold brother,
Well, it fits his temperament quite well.
Then Xiaoyun looked at Ah Xun with interest: "What's the matter? Do you want me to vent your anger for you?"
Ah Xun nodded vigorously and said indignantly: "That's right! That guy beat me so badly before!"
"We are good brothers. Isn't it right for you to help your good brother vent his anger~"
Xiaoyun nodded in agreement and responded: "Yeah, you are right."
However, Xiao Yun changed the subject and spoke thoughtfully, "However, as a brother, I feel that for things like venting anger, you still have to do it yourself to truly relieve your anger and feel more comfortable, right?"
"Sigh~"
Ah Xun gasped, stared at Xiao Yun with wide eyes, and asked doubtfully, "So...are you planning to settle the score with him tonight and help me vent my anger?"
He didn't expect Xiaoyun to be so considerate that she would pick a fight for him late at night.
This is what brothers are like.
"........."
Xiaoyun was also speechless after listening to this.
What good things are you thinking? Do you think he is Feng Baobao?
Going with you to bury someone late at night?
"If you can't beat them, go practice on your own."
----------------
The next day, inside the alliance venue!
The lifting platform in the center of the circular venue was slowly lifted up, and Xiaoyun and Shinji, who were already ready, appeared in front of all the audience.
Because it was the first game, Xiaoguang, Xiaogang, Xiaowang and Axun had already occupied the front row early.
Among them, Xiaoguang dressed up her boyfriend and started cheering for Xiaoyun.
At the same time, the Pokémon cheerleading team was ready. Pogamon, Zoroark, and the reluctant Shaymin all changed into cheering suits and stood on the railing waiting for the game to begin.
That’s right, it’s Shemy who hasn’t appeared for a long time.
The little hedgehog and Lina arrived last night, and Lina was shouting "Come on" next to Xiaoguang.
Of course, these are the quarterfinals, and besides Lina, Shinji's brother Raiji is also among the friends and family cheering him on.
There is also Hanako who came from Kanto to cheer for Satoshi, and... Professor Oak.
Professor Oak said with a smile: "Hey, I didn't expect that the first battle would be with Xiaoyun. It's really exciting!"
Hanako on the side responded with a gentle look: "This must be Xiaozhi's friend, he looks like a really handsome boy."
Hearing Hanako praising her son, Lina immediately perked up, her face filled with pride and pride, and she responded excitedly: "That's right, my son is so handsome!"
Then, as if she remembered something, Lina grabbed Xiaoguang beside her and excitedly introduced (showed off) her to Hanako: "Oh, by the way, this girl is my son's girlfriend. Look, isn't she very cute?"
Xiaoguang, who was named, was suddenly stunned.
Oh, are you talking about me?
Seeing Hanako looking over again, Xiaoguang could only smile sweetly and shyly, and said softly, "Hello, Auntie."
Hanako's eyes lit up instantly when she saw this. She enthusiastically took Xiaoguang's hand and asked with concern: "Oh my, what a well-behaved and sensible child."
Then came a series of questions like, how old are you this year? How do you get along with Xiaoyun? And so on.
Seemingly concerned, but actually inquiring about the situation,
Because Hanako thought: "Alas, I don't know when Xiaozhi will be able to bring me a daughter-in-law. After all, this child..."
Thinking of this, Hanako unconsciously turned her gaze to Xiaozhi who was watching the game in the distance.
"Oh oh oh, come on, Xiaoyun!"
"Pikapi!"
Seeing this, Hanako sighed softly.
As expected, the kid only has eyes for battle and Pikachu.
Daughter-in-law, you have a long way to go...
"Professor Oak is here to watch the game, Shinji... do your best!"
It was also the first time that Raiji met the famous Professor Oak. He suddenly sat up straight and could only cheer for Shinji silently in his heart.
At the battle arena, after both Shinji and Satoshi came on stage, the host began to announce: "The first match of the Sinnoh League Suzuran Tournament quarterfinals will be a six-on-six full-scale battle."
"The venue for the first half is... a forest venue!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally flat ground suddenly changed into a wild forest.
At the same time, on the battle screen, the avatars representing Xiaoyun and Shinji are also changing.
On the sofa in the VIP room, Sirona was also watching the battle through the screen.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, supported her head with her hands, and there was admiration in her eyes.
"Koun and Shinji? It's going to be an interesting duel."
"Come out, dream demon!"
"Nidoking, prepare to fight!"
At the same time, both sides threw out Poké Balls at the same time. Xiaoyun sent out a mischievous Dream Demon who looked like a witch.
Shinji's Pokémon has a purple body, long poisonous horns, strong limbs and a tail, and sharp spikes on its back.
Nidoking.
"Is the first one Nidoking?"
Xiaoyun looked at the Nidoking.
As an old-fashioned Pokémon from the first generation, Nidoking has a rich skill pool that covers all kinds of moves, and its attack range can be said to be quite wide.
Xiaoyun guessed that this was also the reason why Shinji used Nidoking to lead the charge.
As the game officially began, Shinji's eyes lit up and he gave the order without hesitation: "Nidoking, spray flames!"
"Nido!"
Following this order, Nidoking opened his mouth and an extremely hot flame gushed out of his mouth. He pounced towards the dream demon opposite with great momentum.
Xiaoyun was not to be outdone, and quickly responded by shouting, "Dream Demon, Shadow Ball!"
"Dream....!"
Before he finished his words, a dark purple energy sphere quickly condensed in front of the Dream Demon and shot out towards the incoming jet of flames!
In an instant, the jet of flame and the shadow ball collided in mid-air, and for a moment, flames splashed and purple light shone.
Then, Nidoking's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he increased his energy. The jet of flames gradually gained the upper hand and was about to suppress the Shadow Ball.
Seeing this, the Dream Demon made a prompt decision and directly detonated the shadow ball.
Boom!
Energy suddenly exploded in the air, like a gorgeous firework blooming, and the powerful impact caused the surrounding air to tremble.
Xiaoyun thought: "It seems that this Nidoking should be a forced characteristic."
Because from the strength of the flamethrower unleashed by the Nidoking in front of him, he realized that it was in no way inferior to the fire-type moves released by a pure fire-type Pokémon.
Then the result can only be to sacrifice the additional effect in exchange for the forced characteristic of high damage.
At this moment, Shinji continued to give orders calmly.
"Don't stop, use Sludge Wave after Freeze Ray!"
After receiving the order, Nidoking immediately opened his mouth and a cross-shaped ice ray shot out from it. The bone-chilling cold caused the temperature around him to drop sharply.
Then, it waved its strong and powerful arms, and streams of deep purple energy mud shot out from its hands continuously.
In mid-air, the freezing light and the mud wave merged to form an ice light emitting a deep purple glow.
Not only does it have extremely strong freezing capabilities, but it also contains a deadly poison!
Simply put, poisonous ice.
"You're really good at it."
Xiao Yun couldn't help but exclaimed, and then continued to command: "Dream demon, use ghost fire defense!"
As the command sounded, strange flames quickly appeared around the dream demon's body.
Whoohoo!
And the will-o'-the-wisp began to rotate at an extremely fast speed, forming a tightly connected circle of will-o'-the-wisp in the blink of an eye.
Immediately afterwards, the highly poisonous freezing ray was blocked outside after it came into contact with the ghost fire encirclement.
Under the burning effect of the will-o'-the-wisp fire, the freezing ray was quickly offset and dissolved by the will-o'-the-wisp fire.
Seeing that his attack was so easily resolved, Shinji, who was standing opposite, frowned slightly.
However, just as he was about to continue commanding Nidoking to launch a fire attack, the Dream Demon, who was originally defending against the freezing ray in the distance, suddenly flashed.
He appeared in front of Nidoking like a ghost, and then stared at Nidoking with his eyes that glowed with strange light, with supernatural power fluctuations flowing.
"Now, hypnotism!"
Along with Xiaoyun's cry, the light in the dream demon's eyes suddenly became stronger.
"Dream!"
The light was like two blue beams, shining directly into Nidoking's eyes.
Under the influence of hypnosis, Nidoking's eyes suddenly became blurred and he stood there in a daze.
Hypnosis successful!
Seeing Nidoking being hypnotized, Xiaoyun showed joy on his face and continued, "Very good, Dream Demon, use Dream Eater!"
After receiving the trainer's instructions, the light in the Dream Demon's eyes immediately changed, from the original blue to a deep purple.
Immediately afterwards, an invisible dark force poured out from its body, enveloping Nidoking's entire body like the falling night.
"Nido~"
Under the influence of the Dream Eater, Nidoking's expression became extremely painful, and low roars came out of his mouth from time to time.
At the same time, his physical strength is constantly being stolen by the dream demon!
Facing such an unfavorable situation, Shinji seemed to be well prepared and did not panic at all. He said calmly: "Use Sleep Talk!"
