Chapter 505: The Eve of the Top 8 Match
Chapter 505: The Eve of the Quarterfinals
With the end of the top 16 competition, the Sinnoh Tournament officially entered a white-hot stage.
After a day's rest, an all-out battle ensued with bloodshed.
The top eight candidates are: Xiaozhi, Shinji, Minghui, Dakota, Xiaye...
At first glance, Xiaozhi's acquaintances occupied half of the space.
Unfortunately, in the top 16, Ajin ran into Shinji head-on and was beaten so hard that he almost doubted his life...
After the game, this guy also went to Chengdu with the lad. It is said that he wanted to hone himself and challenge the special zone.
As the match between the top eight contestants was replayed, the four legendary beast men, led by Xiaozhi, also shocked the public!
Darko who uses the Nightmare God, Natsuya who uses the Sealord, Shinji who uses Suicune...
And there is Xiaozhi who drives a Gundam...
The legendary beasts could have basically secured the championship in this non-Masters tournament, but who could have thought that four legendary beast men would appear in the Sinnoh League this time.
Especially Xiaozhi, whose support rate on the Sinnoh League official website has exceeded 80%.
There is really no way around it. There is a contrast in strength between the divine beasts.
In the eyes of the people of Sinnoh, Palkia can be described in two words: invincible!
Dakodo and Xia Ye, who were originally full of confidence, also fell into self-doubt.
Has the Pokémon League gotten to this point now?
Even the beast man is in danger, not to mention the remaining few passers-by players.
They finally reached an agreement that as long as they didn't match up with Xiaozhi, they might still have a chance with other legendary beastmen.
If you are unlucky and get to play with Xiaozhi, then just consider yourself unlucky and buy a plane ticket home in advance...
In such a mysterious atmosphere, the groups for the quarterfinals were finally announced.
When the other contestants saw Satoshi and Shinji collide, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially Minghui. Among the four legendary men, he was actually matched with a passerby. He even suspected that it was his cheap father or Dr. Yamanashi who had done something wrong.
Fortunately, both of them said that there was no shady dealings, so there is only one reason.
Holding the group list tightly, Minghui let out a sharp cry: "Luck is also a part of strength!!"
After all, apart from him, the remaining two passers-by are all tough beast men, and they might be beaten 6:0.
The two passers-by who didn't deserve to have names also played badly: "It's just a beast man, I have General XX, I can kill gods!"
What Xiaozhi didn't expect was that when he and Serena were walking home after dinner that night, he actually ran into Dakodo.
"Be good, go back to your room and wait for me." After sending Serena back to the room, Xiaozhi turned and came under the street light.
"Is there something wrong?" Xiaozhi asked in a relaxed tone.
"I'll wait for you in the semi-finals." Darko said coolly: "Darkrai is just one of my six Pokémon."
"Are you trying to say that you can beat Palkia?" Xiaozhi asked casually.
"Uh...just wait for me." Darko stomped his foot on the ground, and feeling Darkrai curled up like an ostrich, he could only turn around and leave.
"Psycho..." Xiaozhi rolled his eyes.
Walking out to a street, Darko came to a corner and a Darkrai emerged from the shadows.
"Why didn't you take action just now?" Dakodo frowned.
That's right, the smart guy Darko was originally planning to let Darkrai trick Xiaozhi.
There’s no way he can win by fighting, but if Xiaozhi himself misses the game, then isn’t that a sure thing?
As the saying goes, if solving a problem is too difficult, then solve the person who created the problem.
Darko didn't want Xiaozhi's life, he just wanted Darko to use the dark hole to make Xiaozhi sleep for a few days...
As Ye Ci's disciple, he represents the future of the alliance. Before his master takes over as the president of the alliance, his mission is to become a champion first and provide Ye Ci with voice support at the high-end summit.
The problem is... it seems that the Sinnoh Alliance is hopeless now~
Darkrai shook his head tremblingly, "It's no use. I just thought about it a little bit and felt a familiar shadow energy.
There is another Machado in that guy's shadow world!"
"A fan of the Phoenix King?!" Dakoto was in doubt. As a person who had once been defeated in the Rainbow Trial, he still remembered Machado's ability clearly...
"What should we do now?" Darkrai asked helplessly.
"We have to fight head-on. Even if we lose, we have to lose spectacularly!" Dakduo sighed, "After all, if I don't win the championship, I won't have the face to see my master again..."
"There is no shortage of champion-level students in Orange College..."
It was late at night, and in the database of the players' dormitory, Shinji was video chatting with someone.
"Shinji-san, what do you think about tomorrow's game?" A lazy male voice sounded in a low voice.
"He won't use Palkia, I know him." Shinji said calmly: "But I don't know about the other beasts. Anyway, I will do my best."
"Very good, you are worthy of being the trainer I have my eyes on. Are you really not considering joining the group?" In the picture, a middle-aged man with a well-fitting suit and meticulously groomed hair and beard is playing with his natural curls.
"You know, I was the one who trained the Dan Emperor in the last World Championship."
Shinji looked calm and shook his head firmly: "I have my own path. Thank you very much for your help in Galar and for introducing me to the special training on the Isle of Armor. I will always remember it in my heart."
"Hahaha, you're welcome. I believe you have talent and I won't make the mistake of judging you." On the other side of the video, Roz looked at Shinji with a "loving" face: "Anyway, no matter what, the door of Roz Group is always open to you."
"Thank you~ I have a game tomorrow, so I'll hang up first." After hanging up the phone, Shinji remained silent with a deep look in his eyes.
"This person looks very kind, but I always feel that he is not a good person." Lei Si spoke from a corner.
"I know." Shinji nodded: "I'm not a fool, but without him, I wouldn't be able to enter the Armor Island so easily. After all, the Loz Group is the largest consortium in Galar.
But... I am not Dandi, nor Xiaozhi. I have my own pride. I am me, Shinji of Veil City!"
Hearing Shinji's words, Leiji smiled with satisfaction: "It's best if you can figure it out. Just go for it. I will support you."
……
In the distant Galar, on the top floor of the Roz Group building, Roz gently shook the red wine in his hand.
Secretary Oliver frowned and said, "President, with all due respect, this boy named Shinji doesn't seem to be at the level of Dandi. Moreover, he has a complicated mind and is not easy to control."
"I know." Luo Zi smiled and shook his head: "Do you think that I sent him to the Lonely Island of Armor and that he was recognized by Master Ma because of the sponsorship of our group?
That's because he has talents that amaze Master Ma.
It is never a bad idea to invest in advance to find a trainer who can impress Master Ma.
He is younger than Dan Emperor. I don’t know how long Dan Emperor can stay at the peak, but reserve talents should always be kept in mind.
This is a top priority for the Group.”
Roz narrowed his eyes, raised the glass and drank it all in one gulp, the scarlet wine dripping from the corners of his mouth onto his white shirt.
"I only want Galar's great revival, and all resources must be directed toward this goal.
If I can make one Dante famous, I can make the next one famous! It could be Shinji, Peter, Hep, or anyone else!"
"Yes, President Roz!"
"How are those people being dealt with?" Roz asked again in a deep voice.
"Scanners developed using the latest spectral technology have been put into use, and all the "Rainbow" front personnel within the company have been expelled.
The people of the Ether Foundation who wanted to plant a nail in the name of cooperation have already determined that it was the subordinates who acted on their own initiative, and Lusamine was not aware of this.
President, I think the risks of cooperating with those people from another world outweigh the rewards." Oliver reported with a frown.
"If you seek the skin of a tiger, you will naturally be bitten back. I don't want to rule the world." There was wisdom in Roz's eyes.
"I just used the cooperation agreement with these people to keep them out of Galar. Last time, they almost caused the Everlasting to collapse, so I expelled them with good reason.
As long as we put up the flags of the warring parties, we would be the perfect truce zone, right?
While other regions are in turmoil, Galar is still thriving.
This is me, the president of the Galar Pokémon Association, Roz! I won the victory for the Galar region!"
Oliver's eyes were filled with admiration: "Only the Loz Chamber of Commerce can lead Galar to rise!"
"Okay, let's get to work. Let the police department suppress the Spike Town. The half-dead Shouting Team is the real Shouting Team~"
"Understood…"
