Chapter 473 The auditions are over!
The auditions for the national championships are proceeding in an orderly manner, and today is the last day of the auditions.
Starting tomorrow, the 128 contestants who stood out in the auditions will begin the official competition to compete for the top eight places in the national competition.
As the competition progresses, there are naturally no weak players. In the previous few days' competitions, Ye Wanshu and Gao Duo were eliminated by strong opponents one after another, leaving only Li Fan who is now struggling in the battlefield.
It is worth mentioning that as for Meng Wan and Li Taoyao, Li Taoyao has successfully advanced to the main competition, and she won the battle almost by simply using an Ice Nine-Tailed Fox.
With her extraordinary strength and outstanding appearance, Li Taoyao's popularity has naturally risen. Now she is called Peach Fairy by many fans, and her popularity on the Internet is also increasing.
Meng Wan was not so lucky. She met a very strong opponent who was one of the top 32 in the previous competition.
It is said that he had qualified to skip the auditions, but he participated in the auditions because he wanted to hone himself, and he swept all his opponents along the way, including Meng Wan.
"Lin Shi, Li Fan's condition isn't good."
Looking at the situation on the battlefield, Gao Duo frowned deeply. Although they were eliminated in the competition, he and Ye Wanshu had a good mentality. Besides, it was only the first year. The competitions in the next few years would be the time for them to show their skills.
"Li Fan...is going to lose."
Lin Shi also frowned slightly and said that there was a big gap in the strength of the elves on both sides, and Lin Shi knew the man that Li Fan was fighting against.
Duan Yiyang was the one who challenged the owner of the Gusheng Dojo, Li Jing, and was defeated in the end when he went to the Gusheng Dojo not long ago.
Although this person's attitude towards Pokémon is a bit harsh, his strength is indeed good. After all, he is a trainer who almost succeeded in challenging a gym. Even if he is not at the gym level, he is probably almost there.
And now he is walking upright on two feet, with a yellow and green Pokémon with a lotus leaf hat brim.
Rainy day general - Rakuten Kappa!
At this moment, it was raining on the field. Endless raindrops fell on the body of Le Tian Kappa, making it dance excitedly on the spot. Its body was agile and quick, obviously triggering its leisurely and free characteristics.
On the other hand, the last elf on Li Fan's side, which is also his trump card, Thunderbird Dragon, is not in very good condition.
Although the thunder skill will definitely hit on rainy days, Lotte Kappa is a grass-type and is not afraid of electricity. Moreover, its own special defense is not low. Relying on its agile speed, it can effortlessly inflict a lot of scars on the Thunderbird.
"Damn it!"
Li Fan gritted his teeth. In fact, he had known for a long time that he was bound to lose. The Lotte Kappa on the opposite side had probably broken through to the gym master level long ago, but his Thunderbird Dragon had not yet broken through. The gap in strength was obvious.
But in such an advantageous situation, the opponent did not choose to end the game directly, but teased him and Thunderbird Dragon like a cat playing with a mouse, which was obviously a deliberate insult!
And this was exactly the case. Duan Yiyang recognized Li Fan who was in the audience seat of Li Jing that day at a glance.
Since you can’t beat me, take it back from his son!
This was what he was thinking at the moment, so he kept letting Rakuten Kappa constantly harass and attack his Pokémon with long-range skills, just to vent his anger!
As time passed, more and more scars appeared on the Thunderbird Dragon's body. At this time, the opponent seemed to have finally had enough fun and looked at Li Fan with a disdainful smile.
"It's boring. Okay, Lotte Kappa, we don't want to play anymore. Let's give him the final blow, the freezing beam!"
Upon hearing the command, Le Tian Kappa started dancing on the spot. He felt a strong ice power burst out, and a beam of ice light as thick as a bucket was shot out, heading straight for the Thunderbird Dragon.
Almost instantly, the Thunderbird Dragon was hit by the skill and its entire body sank into the ice. Then the ice shattered, revealing the body of the Thunderbird Dragon, which was no longer able to fight.
The battle is over!
As the referee's announcement came down, Duan Yiyang proudly took back the elf, looked at the distraught Li Fan, and walked past him.
"Go back and practice for another two and a half years, you little weakling..."
"you!"
Li Fan clenched his hands instantly and looked at Duan Yiyang angrily.
But he soon let go of her hand. There was no point in getting angry now. When he met him on the court one day and stepped on him hard, he would return these words exactly as they were said!
"Li Fan."
When he arrived at the exit, Lin Shi and others were already waiting there. He breathed a sigh of relief. Although he lost the game, it had actually exceeded his expectations and there was nothing to regret.
With Li Fan being eliminated by Duan Yiyang, their northern bandit dormitory had been completely wiped out except for Lin Shi. Everyone turned their disappointment into appetite and went out together to have a big meal.
"Oh my god, that kid actually said that. What kind of person is that? Doesn't he even realize how old he is?"
When Gao Duo heard Li Fan repeating what Duan Yiyang had just said, he immediately became furious and slammed the table.
All youth-level trainer competitions in the Shenzhou region require participants to be under 24 years old. This is true not only in the Shenzhou region, but almost everywhere in the world, including the upcoming World Youth Trainer Competition.
Lin Shi and the others are actually only around 20 years old, and Duan Yiyang is almost three years older than them, and will soon lose the qualification to participate in the youth-level competition.
With three more years of training, he is naturally much more experienced than these trainers who have just participated in the competition.
"It's okay, Li Fan. Didn't that kid advance? I took a look and he's in the upper half. He's likely to meet Lin Shi. Then Lin Shi will avenge you."
Gao Duo was searching for information on his computer while speaking. With the end of the auditions, the list of 128 contestants who have emerged has been confirmed.
As the fifth seed, Lin Shi was automatically placed in the upper half, and Duan Yi Yang was also placed in the upper half after the game, but he was not a seeded player, so he was not ranked.
The official will only give the rankings of the top 11 seeded players. Excluding the top-ranked player who advances directly, the other 10 players will be divided into the upper and lower halves according to odd and even numbers.
So, in the upper half of the draw with Lin are the 3rd, 7th, 9th and 11th seeds.
Fortunately, Li Taoyao is in the lower half of the group, so the two will not meet in battle, at least not before the regional competition.
"By the way, Lin Shi, have you done a thorough investigation of your potential opponents?"
Looking at the eleven freshly-baked seeds, Gao Duo raised his eyebrows and said to Lin Shi.
Looking at his appearance, Lin Shi narrowed his eyes.
"It seems you are quite knowledgeable?"
"Know a thing or two."
"Then please let Master Gao tell us about it."
"Look at you."
……
The race is about to begin!
