Chapter 502 Round 1 vs. Shang Zhi
Chapter 502: First Round Against Shang Zhi
The next day, at dusk at the Lily of the Valley Stadium, the Holy Fire of the Phoenix King was burning brightly in a white brazier.
Alice wondered why Xiaozhi refused to be a torchbearer. Xiaozhi could only say, this flame is not as hot as the tattoo on my chest...
Xiaozhi, Shinji, Hisashi, Minghui, and other contestants lined up in the stadium and looked up at the podium.
"Next, please allow President Damarange to give a speech..."
Upon hearing this, Xiaozhi almost fell down. Coming again?
Damarankhe, the kind old man, started with his hands behind his back with the classic opening line: "Oh, oh, oh... I can't stand it... blah blah..."
Half an hour later...
"Don't stop me, I want to poison him and make him mute!" A young man with a cockscomb haircut was pulled by several of his companions and asked a soul-searching question.
Fortunately, the champion and the new lineup of the Four Heavenly Kings who appeared next drew everyone's attention back.
“Everyone, under the gaze of the sacred flame and the champion, march forward bravely. We are here, waiting for your challenge!” Wusong said this as the finale, and it was almost dark.
The fireworks show at the start of the game illuminated the profiles of the players. Xiaozhi raised his head slightly and whispered softly: "This time, I still want to win..."
Shinji stood in the crowd, his eyes locked on Xiaozhi: "Wait for me..."
The opening ceremony ended successfully, and the audience and contestants left. A figure walked through the crowd and came to Xiaozhi.
"I remember you, the Triple Crown Trainer Xiaozhi..." Darko frowned.
Xiaozhi smiled faintly, didn't say much, stretched out three fingers, shook them, and turned them into four.
"Your Grand Slam ends here. I will be the champion of the Sinnoh League." After saying this, Darko turned and left.
"Who is this?" Minghui came closer curiously.
"I'm here to provoke you." Xiaozhi smiled and spread his hands.
“Hiss… so brave…” Minghui shook his head in disbelief: “Even I can only fight for one and protect two…”
"Don't honk anymore, be careful not to overturn the car." Xiaozhi joked with a smile.
"Hehe, I've already talked to Wusongpy, and I won't clash with you before the finals." Minghui raised his eyebrows proudly.
"Good boy..." Xiaozhi was speechless. This guy was really the opposite of Diamond.
Xiaozhi and Serena returned to the dormitory in the athletes' village. After taking a shower, Xiaozhi received the specific rules of the conference.
As the owner of Lily Island who was on a business trip, Li sent the first-hand information to Xiaozhi as soon as possible.
The Sinnoh League is a region with a relatively high combat level, but this season there are only less than 150 contestants who have obtained eight badges.
Xiaozhi, Shinji, and other trainers with impressive resumes were assigned to the seed group and could directly enter the official competition.
The others will have a one-on-one selection meeting tomorrow morning, and finally 64 people will be left to enter the main competition.
The battle groups will also be announced after the top 64 teams are determined.
What follows is a three-on-three singles fight. The winner advances to the next round, and the loser is eliminated on the spot. The competition system is extremely cruel.
"I don't know, who would be so unlucky to meet me in the first round~"
……
The next afternoon, the top 64 contestants were all confirmed, and the battle combinations were sent to the contestants' mobile phones as soon as possible.
Looking at his opponent, Xiaozhi smiled helplessly: "Shangzhi-san~ I'm sorry."
"Xiaozhi, do you want to study your opponent?" Xiaomao, who was standing next to Xiaozhi and holding a sausage in each hand, asked curiously.
"No need, Mr. Shangzhi is an old friend~" Xiaozhi shook his head.
Next to the artificial lake in the athletes' village, an elegant bard was playing the zither, but his every move revealed a wave of sadness...
The moment he saw the grouping, Shang Zhi knew that his Sinnoh Alliance must be gone...
"A brave young man~ I just happened to meet him... What a pity..." The gorgeous competition was a failure, and the league finals were also going to be eliminated in the first round. For the first time, Shang Zhi felt that his ability was not enough...
On the eve of the competition, Xiaozhi went for a run as usual. When he opened the door, he saw that Serena had prepared hot towels and sports supplements.
"Good luck in the game, Xiaozhi."
After taking the water bottle and drinking it all, Xiaozhi nodded vigorously: "Leave it to me!"
A night without words...
As the morning sun shines on the earth, the Lily of the Valley Tournament 64-strong finals officially begins!
After getting ready, Xiaozhi changed into a blue and white jacket, pressed down the brim of his hat, and walked into Venue A from the player channel carrying Pikachu.
As long as they win three rounds in a row, they can enter the main venue starting from the fourth round of the quarterfinals and have a 6-on-6 all-player showdown.
"Come on, Satoshi!" Serena's voice came from the stands. As Satoshi's relatives and friends, there were Xiaomao, Li, and even this guy Tun.
Shinji had a match in the morning, so he didn't come, but even if he came, he would probably be collecting information.
At the other end of the field, Xiaozhi's opponent, the melancholy bard, Shangzhi, also walked into the field holding a harp.
As Shang Zhi is good at music, his competition style is gorgeous and he is loved by the audience.
You can tell from the cheers from the audience, but Shang Zhi doesn't enjoy the cheers.
He was really afraid that some innocent people would help him shout out some crazy words like Shangzhi 3:0.
In Shangzhi's plan, if Xiaozhi keeps his sanity and gets one point, today will be a successful conclusion!
As the two shook hands, Hisashi forced a smile and said, "Mr. Xiaozhi, I hope we have a good match."
Xiaozhi: "What? Go all out, OK, I'll satisfy you~"
"Uh..." Shang Zhi hesitated. Xiao Zhi smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "A temporary victory or defeat doesn't matter. Even if you can't win now, I welcome you to challenge me at any time."
"Thank you~" Shang Zhi wanted to cry but had no tears. He understood that in order to impress him, Xiao Zhi was going to beat him up...
The referee took his position and motioned for Xiaozhi and the other man to return to the command seat.
Then, amid the cheers of the audience, the referee raised his hands and said, "The game begins. Both teams please bring out your Pokémon."
"Zanyaku, it's decided to be you!" Xiaozhi starts with one of the Ten Kings, Zephyrus!
Shang Zhi smiled. This move was aimed at his usual Pokémon, Roserade, Sunflower, and Cricket.
It's either a bug or a grass, and is naturally antagonistic to the fire element.
but!
Shang Zhi waved his hand in a cool manner. He had also made progress: "Ancient armor, go ahead!"
Shangzhi's first pure attacker makes a brilliant debut!
"Game start!!"
"Ancient armor, broken by water flow!" The game starts with Shang Zhi's quick attack.
Although Zephyrus looks very big, it is a fire type after all, so attack when the enemy is unprepared!
The two front paws of the ancient armor sprayed out sharp water blades, which rushed towards the wind speed dog fiercely.
The next second, Xiaozhi started at zero frame: "Arcane, Rock Blade!"
"Ouch!" Windspeed howled, took a step forward, and sharp rock shoots rose from the ground.
Boom! The rising rock blade directly sent the ancient armor flying.
Xiaozhi narrowed his eyes and said, "Rockfall!"
Boom! As the wind speed in the dark clouds rustled like a dog's mane, a large piece of rock suddenly fell from the sky, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to split!
Looking at the ancient armor buried in the rocks with only the head exposed, Shang Zhi's mouth twitched. Is this reasonable? I really can't see through you, Xiaozhi...
